Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2003-0079298 filed on Nov. 11, 2003, and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2003-0098709 filed on Dec. 29, 2003.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates, in general, to structures for securing inserts to insert drills in which the inserts are precisely arranged in mounting slots formed on ends of holders of the insert drills when the inserts are inserted into the mounting slots and, more particularly, to a structure for securing an insert to an insert drill in which a guide means is provided in the mounting slot of the holder, and a guide groove is formed on an engaging surface of the insert so as to correspond to the guide means, so that the guide groove is guided by the guide means when the insert is inserted into the mounting slot of the holder, thus precisely arranging the insert in the mounting slot of the holder.

BACKGROUND ART

A structure for securing an insert to an insert drill was proposed by the inventor of the present invention in Korean Patent Application NO. 2001-0014774 (Filed: Mar. 22, 2001), entitled ‘INSERT DRILL’.
The above-mentioned conventional insert drill includes the insert, a holder and a tie bolt. The insert has a shank part on a lower end thereof, and an inclined groove which is formed on an outer surface of the shank part. The holder has a mounting slot at an end thereof, with a bolt hole formed on a predetermined portion of an outer surface of the holder. While the insert is inserted into the mounting slot of the holder, the tie bolt is tightened into the bolt hole such that an inside end of the tie bolt is in contact with the inclined groove of the shank part, thus preventing the insert from being undesirably removed from the mounting slot of the holder.
However, the conventional insert drill does not have any guide unit by which the insert is precisely arranged in the mounting slot of the holder when the insert is inserted into the mounting slot. Therefore, the insert may be undesirably incorrectly arranged in the mounting slot of the holder when a user inserts the insert into the mounting slot. If the user incorrectly inserts the insert into the mounting slot, mistakenly or carelessly, that is, if the insert is inserted into the mounting slot such that the inside end of the tie bolt is not in contact with the inclined groove of the insert, the insert may be unexpectedly removed from the mounting slot of the holder, or the concentricity of the insert and the holder may be changed, during a drilling operation.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a structure for securing an insert 21 to an insert drill, according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a top view of the insert securing structure of FIG. 1.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the insert drill includes a holder 1. The holder 1 has a mounting slot 3 which is formed on an end of the holder 1, a shank hole 5 downward extending in the holder 1 from a bottom wall of the mounting slot 3, and a first bolt hole 7 which is formed on a predetermined portion of an outer surface of the holder 1 so as to extend to the shank hole 5. The insert drill further includes the insert 21 which is inserted into the mounting slot 3 of the holder 1. The insert 21 has a shank part 23 which is formed on a lower end of the insert 21 and is inserted into the shank hole 5 of the holder 1, with an inclined groove 25 formed on a predetermined portion of an outer surface of the shank part 23. The insert drill further includes a tie bolt 31 which is tightened into the first bolt hole 7 of the holder 1, with an inside end of the tie bolt 31 projected into the shank hole 5 of the holder 1 through the first bolt hole 7, so that the inside end of the tie bolt 31 is in contact with the inclined groove 25 of the shank part 23 of the insert 21 so as to hold the insert 21 while the shank part 23 of the insert 21 is inserted into the shank hole 5 of the holder 1, thus preventing the insert 21 from removing from the mounting slot 3 of the holder 1.
The structure for securing the insert 21 to the insert drill according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a second bolt hole 9 which is formed on a predetermined portion of the outer surface of the holder 1 so as to extend to the mounting slot 3, and a guide groove 29 which is longitudinally formed on an engaging surface 27 of the insert 21. The insert securing structure further includes a guide bolt 41 which is tightened into the second bolt hole 9 of the holder 1. As shown in FIG. 2, an inside end of the guide bolt 41 is projected into the mounting slot 3 of the holder 1 through the second bolt hole 9, so that the inside end of the guide bolt 41 is received into the guide groove 29 of the insert 21 through a lower end of the guide groove 29 when the insert 21 is inserted into the mounting slot 3 of the holder 1, thus guiding the guide groove 29 of the insert 21.
As shown in FIG. 3, when the insert 21 is inserted into the mounting slot 3 of the holder 1 while being arranged along an X-axis of the holder 1, the guide groove 29, which is formed on the engaging surface 27 of the insert 21, is directed toward a fourth quadrant of the holder 1 which is sectioned into four quadrants by the X-axis and the Y-axis, and the guide bolt 41 is arranged in the fourth quadrant of the holder 1 while being directed toward a rotating axis of the holder 1, so that the inside end of the guide bolt 41 is received into the guide groove 29 of the insert 21.

The insert securing structure further includes a locking projection 83 which is provided on a predetermined position of a lower end of a sidewall of the mounting slot 3 of the holder 1 to correspond to the locking groove 81 of the insert 21, so that the locking groove 81 of the insert 21 engages with the locking projection 83 of the mounting slot 3 when the insert 21 is inserted into the mounting slot 3 of the holder 1, thus precisely arranging the insert 21 in the mounting slot 3 of the holder 1. The general construction of the insert securing structure according to the fifth embodiment except for the above-mentioned elements remains the same as the first embodiment, and further explanation is thus not deeded necessary.
In the above-mentioned insert securing structure according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, even though a user carelessly attempts to insert the insert 21 into the mounting slot 3 of the holder 1 while misaligning the inset 21 relative to the mounting slot 3, the insert 21 is not inserted into the mounting slot 3 because the locking projection 83 of the mounting slot 3 is in contact with a lower surface of a sidewall of the insert 21 opposite to the engaging surface 27 of the insert 21 and interferes with the insert 21 to be not surely inserted into the mounting slot 2. Therefore, the user perceives the above state, so that it is possible to prevent the insert 21 from being inserted into the mounting slot 3 of the holder 1 while misaligning the insert 21 relative to the mounting slot 3.
FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view of a structure for securing an insert to an insert drill, according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention.
