Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cutting tools for impinging a substrate in, for example, a mining or construction activity.
  • Cutting tools are used in conjunction with a machine used to break up (or cut) a substrate such as coal, rock, asphalt pavement, asphaltic concrete, concrete or the like.
  • a machine includes a driven member (e.g., a chain, a wheel or a drum), a holder either directly or indirectly mounted to the driven member, and a rotatable cutting tool rotatably held in the holder.
  • the cutting tool has a hard (e.g., cemented [cobalt] tungsten carbide) insert at the axial forward end thereof and is rotatably retained by the tool holder. It is the cutting tool and, more particularly the hard insert that impinges the substrate so as to break it into pieces upon impact.
  • the hard insert As well as the entire rotatable cutting tool, is subjected to great forces. These forces can destroy the cutting tool and/or the hard insert if they do not possess adequate strength and fracture toughness. Thus, it would be desirable if the design of the cutting tool and/or the hard insert would enhance the strength and fracture toughness thereof.
  • a cutting tool for use in impinging earth strata includes a cutting tool body with a central longitudinal axis and has a head portion at an axial forward end, a collar portion axially rearward of the head portion, and a shank portion axially rearward of the collar portion at an axial rearward end.
  • the cutting tool body contains a socket at the axial forward end thereof.
  • the cutting tool further includes an insert structured and arranged for being affixed to the cutting tool body within the socket, the insert having the same central longitudinal axis as the cutting tool body.
  • the insert includes a generally conical tip portion at an axial forward end of the insert, a central portion adjacent and axially rearward of the generally conical tip portion and a mounting end portion at an axial rearward end of the insert wherein the mounting end portion is adjacent and axially rearward of the central portion.

  • a cutting tool insert having a central longitudinal axis includes a generally conical tip portion at an axial forward end of the insert, a central portion adjacent and axially rearward of the generally conical tip portion and a mounting end portion at an axial rearward end of the insert wherein the mounting end portion is adjacent and axially rearward of the central portion.
  • the mounting end portion includes a first tapered segment adjacent and axially rearward of the central portion, a second tapered segment adjacent and axially rearward of the first tapered segment wherein the second tapered segment has an axial rearward end diameter, and a base adjacent and axially rearward of the second tapered segment, the base having a base diameter that is greater than the axial rearward end diameter of the second tapered segment.
  • a cutting tool body with a central longitudinal axis includes a head portion at an axial forward end of the cutting tool body, the head portion having a socket that defines an opening at the axial forward end.
  • the cutting tool body also includes a collar portion axially rearward of the head portion and a shank portion axially rearward of the collar portion at an axial rearward end.
  • the socket includes a first tapered wall adjacent and axially rearward of the opening, a second tapered wall adjacent and axially rearward of the first tapered wall, and a base portion adjacent and axially rearward of the second tapered wall.

  • a substrate e.g., earth strata, pavement, asphaltic highway material, concrete, and the like
  • the cutting tool 10 of the invention may be manufactured in various sizes and dimensions depending upon the desired application of the tool.
  • cutting tool generally refers to rotatable cutting tools or indexable cutting tools that are generally fixed in place during use.
  • cutting tool 10 has a central longitudinal axis A-A. In one aspect, cutting tool 10 may be symmetrical about and/or rotate about the axis A-A.

  • the collar portion 22 is axially rearward of the head portion 18 and the shank portion 20 is axially rearward of the collar portion 22 .
  • the shank portion 20 includes an annular groove 24 adjacent the axial rearward end 16 for receiving a retainer ring (not shown), as is generally known.
  • the head portion 18 contains a socket 28 at the axial forward end 14 of the cutting tool body 12 .
  • the socket defines an opening 30 at the axial forward end 14 of the cutting tool body 12 .
  • the socket 28 includes a first tapered wall 32 adjacent and axially rearward of the opening 30 , a second tapered wall 34 adjacent and axially rearward of the first tapered wall 32 , and a base portion 36 adjacent and axially rearward of the second tapered wall 34 .
  • the second tapered wall 34 of the socket 28 has an axial rearward diameter D 1 , i.e. the diameter at the most axially rearward portion of the second tapered wall 34 where the second tapered wall 34 meets the base portion 36 .
  • the base portion 36 of the socket 28 has a base portion diameter, e.g. D 2 . In one aspect, the base portion diameter D 2 is greater than the axial rearward diameter D 1 .
  • the first tapered wall 32 of the socket 28 tapers generally inwardly toward the axial rearward end 16 of the cutting tool body 12 .
  • the first tapered wall 32 tapers at a first angle W from the central longitudinal axis A-A.
  • the second tapered wall 34 of the socket 28 tapers generally inwardly toward the axial rearward end 16 of the cutting tool body 12 .
  • the second tapered wall 34 tapers at a second angle X from the central longitudinal axis A-A.
  • the first angle W of the first tapered wall 32 is different from the second angle X of the second tapered wall 34 .
  • the cutting tool 10 further includes a hard cutting member or hard cutting insert, generally designated as 40 .
  • the insert 40 is structured and arranged for being affixed by, for example, brazing within the socket 28 at the axial forward end 14 of the cutting tool body 12 .
  • the insert When affixed to the cutting tool body 12 , the insert has essentially the same central longitudinal axis A-A as the cutting tool body 12 .
  • the insert 40 includes an axial forward end 42 and an axial rearward end 44 .
  • Insert 40 may be made from, for example, a hard material such as, for example, cemented (cobalt) tungsten carbide.

  • the mounting end portion 50 is adjacent and axially rearward of the central portion 48 .
  • the mounting end portion 50 of the insert 40 includes a first tapered segment 52 adjacent to and axially rearward of the central portion 48 , a second tapered segment 54 adjacent to and axially rearward of the first tapered segment 52 and a base 56 adjacent to and axially rearward of the second tapered segment 54 .
  • the second tapered segment 54 has an axial rearward end diameter D 3 , i.e. the diameter at the most axially rearward portion of the second tapered segment 54 where the second tapered segment 54 meets the base 56 .
  • the base 56 has a base diameter, e.g. D 4 . In one aspect, the base diameter D 4 is greater than the axial rearward end diameter D 3 of the second tapered segment 54 .

  • first tapered segment 52 and, in particular, the second tapered segment 54 results in less material being removed from the socket 28 which in turn strengthens the surrounding steel material of the head portion 18 of the cutting tool body 12 which supports the insert 40 thus reducing the possibility of the insert 40 fracturing and/or reducing the possibility of steel fatigue in the head portion 18 of the cutting tool body 12 so as to prevent catastrophic failure of the cutting tool 10 .
  • the base portion 36 of the socket 28 in association with the base 56 and the tapered segments 52 and 54 are structured and arranged to allow additional brazing material to flow and form around the insert 40 mounting end portion 50 resulting in a stronger bonding between the insert 40 and the socket 28 .
  • the base 56 is structured and arranged to provide added material to the insert 40 at a location where maximum equivalent loading occurs during the impact cycle of the cutting tool 10 and to provide longer lasting wear protection to the cutting tool body 18 as the tool reaches its final life cycle under abrasive cutting conditions.
