Definitions

  • FIG] BIT ASSEMBLY BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Bit assemblies for coal ploughs and the like which comprise a holder or housing which defines a cavity in which a root part of the bit or tool is received.
  • the bit may have a projection which hooks into a recess in an end wall of the holder while the other end of the bit is held in place by a releasable securing device.
  • 1,291,708 discloses a bit as sembly of this type in which the bit is held in place at the other end of the holder by a lining piece which is inserted in an aperture in the wall at that end and engages between the wall and a projection on the bit and by a clamping pin which is driven through a bore in the lining piece and into a bore in the bit.
  • the object of this invention is to overcome this problem and provide for a bit assembly of this type a securing device which is simple to construct, easy to handle and is removable without any particular difficulty even when equipment has been left standing idle for some time.
  • the securing device takes the form of a cap screw which can be screwed through an aperture in the end wall of the holder and into a screw-threaded bore in the bit.
  • the head of the cap screw which is preferably cylindrical with a diameter substantially greater than that of the shank, bears against the surface of the end wall defining the aperture and retains the bit in the cavity.
  • the screw head may be provided with a polygonal recess, more usually a hexagonal recess, to receive a suitable tool.
  • the bit may be retained by a screw having a strong cylindrical head which is at least partly countersunk in the aperture in the end wall, the head of the screw acting as a projection interfitting with the wall.
  • the end wall of the holder is formed with a narrow rib, ridge or shoulder which projects into the aperture and acts as a support surface for the side of the screw head.
  • This support surface is in line with the point through which pass at least the major forces which are transmitted to the screw head from the holder or bit.
  • this unthreaded portion may include a frusto-conical shoulder which bears against a complementary dished recess at the bore mouth.
  • the forces transmitted to the screw head from the narrow shoulder and the dished recess may be arranged to intersect at a point on, or adjacent to, the screw axis, the stress suffered by the screw will be confined to the axial direction, that is, will constitute tractive stress, despite the fact that the head of the screw will be subjected to transverse loads.
  • the screw connection provided by the invention is particularly suited to retaining bits in bit holders such as are used in coal ploughs and other mining equipment. It can, however, also have other applications in any field in which there is desired a screw connection which will not suffer bending stress. The invention is therefore not confined to the mining field.
  • FIG. I is a partial section taken through a bit holder showing a bit in place therein
  • FIG. 2 is an end elevation of the assembly shown in FIG. 1.
  • a cutter bit assembly for a coal plough consists of a bit holder 10 having a cavity or compartment 12 opening towards the coal face and into which the root part of a plate-like blade part, tool or bit 11 is received.
  • the bit holder may have a conical shank for insertion in a boring of complementary shape in the body of the plough or in a bit carrier.
  • the bit 11 has a tip which may be made up from hard metal inserts 13.
  • the body of the bit holder is cut away to form a recess 15 which constitutes an extension to the compartment l2 and receives a projection 14 on the root part of the bit housed within the compartment.
  • the projection I4 therefore hooks around the rear side of the wall I6 of the bit holder.
  • the bit I1 is inserted into the com partment and the projection 14 mated with the recess 15. The bit is then pivoted around the projection (in the direction of arrow S) into the position illustrated. To permit the bit to be pivoted in this way, the wall 16 is cut away or bevelled at 17 and a slight clearance 18 is left between the opposite wall 19 and the part of the bit which lies proximate to it.
  • the wall 19 is provided with an aperture 20 which accommodates the head 22 of a cap screw 21 which is screwed into a screw threaded bore 22' in the root part of the bit and serves to retain the latter in place within the compartment.
  • the head 22 is cylindrical and has a hexagonal recess 23 for an appropriately shaped tool.
  • the diameter of the head 22 is substantially greater than that of the screw shank 24 and is separated therefrom by an unthreaded portion which includes a frusto-conical section 25 and a cylindrical section 27 which has a diameter somewhat greater than the outer diameter of the threaded shank.
  • the frustoconical section bears against a complementary surface 26 at the mouth of the bore while the cylindrical section 27 fits within a cylindrically enlarged portion of the bore. This unthreaded portion serves to seal the bore against the ingress of moisture.
  • the aperture in the wall 19 is generally U-shaped and the circular sectioned part and parts of the tangential flat parts of the circumference of the aperture have a narrow support rib or shoulder 28 which bears against and supports the screw head over an arc of about 180.
  • the screw is inserted and tightened, whereby the bit is retained in place.
  • the head of the screw is situated in a partially countersunk position within the aperture 20 (it may of course, in a modification. be completely countersunk) and is supported against the frustoconical surface 26 and the narrow shoulder 28.
  • the screw and its supporting surfaces are so dimensioned and located relative to each other that the forces acting on the screw, namely the transverse force Z transmitted to the head of the screw from the shoulder 28, the oblique forces transmitted to the screw from the surface 26 and the axial force Y, will intersect at a point M disposed substantially on the screw axis.
  • a bit assembly comprising:
  • a hollow bit holder having top and bottom walls, side walls and end walls, one of said end walls having an aperture therein communicating with the hollow interior of said holder, said bottom wall having an opening therein communicating with the hollow interior of said holder;
  • a tool bit having a root portion inserted through the bottom wall opening into the hollow interior of said bit holder, said root portion having retaining means thereon for interacting with said bit holder support member, said root portion having an internally threaded bore which is axially aligned with the end wall aperture, said bore having its opening countersunk;
  • said one end wall shoulder, said screw head, said countersunk bore opening, and said frusto-conical screw surface all being arranged relative to each other whereby forces transmitted to said screw head intersect at a point on the axis of said screw.
