Description
1 CUTTING TOOL HOLDER RETENTION SYSTEM TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to excavation cutting tools, and more particularly to a retention system for retaining an excavation cutting tool holder in a support block during use.
BACKGROUND ART Excavation cutting tool assemblies for such applications as continuous mining or road milling typically comprise a cutting tool, sometimes referred to as a cutting bit, rotatably mounted within a support block. The support block in turn is mounted onto a drum or other body, typically by welding, which in turn is driven by a suitable power means. When a number of such support blocks carrying cutting tools are mounted onto a drum, and the drum is driven, the cutting tools will engage and break up the material which is sought to be mined or removed. The general operation of such a mining machine is well known in the art.
Because the support block is exposed, it is subject to wear and abuse and o:o: must be cut or torched off ft ft f ft f ft ft ftootef ftft f ft t to coo•f f ft ft ft ft, 'ft WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/12069 -2the drum and replaced when unusable. In order to prolong the life of the support block, a cutting tool holder, sometimes referred to as a cutting tool sleeve, bit holder, or bit sleeve, is sometimes employed. The cutting tool is rotatably or otherwise releasably mounted within the bit holder which in turn is mounted within the support block via some mechanical connection. This helps toprotect the support block from abuse and wear, thus minimizing or eliminating the down time periods otherwise required for drum repair. The use of such bit holders is well known in the art. For example, U.S. Patent No.
5,067,775 to D'Angelo discloses the use of such a bit holder which is referred to as a sleeve in that patent.
It is well known that such cutting tools and cutting tool holders are subjected to considerable stresses during mining or other operations. Accordingly, it is desirable that the cutting tool holder be mounted to the support block in such a manner as to minimize movement of the cutting bit holder in order to maximize :o 20 the life of the cutting tool. It is also important that the mounting between the cutting tool holder and the support block be resistant to vibratory loosening which could likewise lead to premature cutting tool wear and failure. Various methods have been proposed or used in 25 the past to mount a cutting tool sleeve within a support block in an attempt to minimize cutting tool holder movement or loosening, while maximizing cutting tool life.
For example, U.S. Patent No. 3,749,449 to Krekeler discloses a support block having two upstanding members or bifurcations which define therebetween a channel into which fits a tool holder. A pin passes through the support block and the cutting tool holder and releasably secures the tool holder to the support block.
The Krekeler patent relies on cooperation between the bottom surface of the cutting tool holder and an upper i' surface of the support block, at the bottom of the I I I I I channel, to resist forces tending to pivot the cutting tool holder about the pin. In other words, the Krekeler patent relies upon a close tolerance fit to minimise rotational movement of the cutting tool and cutting tool holder about the pin during use. Otherwise, movement of the cutting tool holder in the support block will cause unnecessary wear to the cutting tool, the cutting tool holder, and the support block.
Alternatively, US Patent No. 4,650,254 to Wechner discloses the use of two bolts to connect a cutting tool holder to a block. The two bolts pass horizontally through the rear surface of the support block and through the shank portion of the cutting tool holder. Such a connection may be subject to vibratory loosening.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It would be desirable to provide an improved excavation cutting tool holder retention system which allows a cutting tool holder to be securely fastened to a support block in such a manner as to minimise or eliminate any movement or loosening of the cutting holder within the support block.
According to the present invention, there is provided an excavation cutting tool holder retention system including a cutting tool holder including a holder pin bore having a holder engagement surface; 20 a support block having a tool holder bore into which the cutting tool holder is inserted, and a block pin bore intersecting the tool holder bore and defining a block engagement surface; and a pin moveable to engage the block engagement surface and the holder engagement surface, wherein the holder pin bore and the block pin bore are inclined downwardly relative to the tool holder bore such that the pin may be moved to draw the cutting tool holder into the holder bore.
Preferably the tool holder bore of the support block has a tool holder bore axis and the system includes a first pin having a first pin axis and a second pin having a second pin axis. Preferably the first pin axis and the second pin axis intersect at an acute angle and both intersect the tool bar bore axis.
Preferably the or each pin is threadably mounted to the support block such that the pin engagement surface may be threadably removed to engage the S holder engagement surface.
N:1DJH\PA65930.DOC (r, a~l~l bI 1 In a preferred form, at least one of the holder and pin engagement surfaces has a generally conical shape.
In a preferred embodiment, the tool holder has a holder shoulder and the support block has a seating shoulder region adjacent the tool holder bore. When the cutting tool holder is drawn into the tool holder bore as described, the holder shoulder will abut the seating shoulder region.
In one arrangement, the pin has a holder engagement portion and a block engagement portion, with the block engagement portion engaging the block engagement surface and the holder engagement portion engaging the holder engagement surface. In another form, the pin has an aligned cylindrical portion which engages the holder engagement surface and an angled cylindrical portion which engages the block engagement surface. Preferably the holder engagement surface is defined by a transverse pin bore. Preferably both the block pin bore and the transverse pin bore are cylindrical. Preferably one of the block pin bore and angled cylindrical portion has a male mating feature and the other of the block pin bore and angled cylindrical portion has a female mating feature such that the angled cylindrical portion will not rotate within the block pin S•bore.
Advantageously, by having one of the holder and pin engagement surfaces O •C.
20 defining an inclined surface, the cutting tool holder will be drawn into an especially tight relationship with the tool holder bore. This tight fit is especially secure if one or both of the shank portion or tool holder bore is tapered so that the shank 0 0C portion of the cutting tool is wedged into the tool holder bore when the components are engaged by utilising the pin. The security of the fit is also increased if the tool holder has a holder shoulder which abuts a seating shoulder region of the support block when the cutting tool holder is drawn into the tool holder bore. Another advantage of this preferred form of the present invention is that the tool holder bore of the support block may have a configuration so as to completely surround and provide multi-directional support to the cutting tool holder. As a further advantage, when the tool holder is worn, it is easily removed and changed by simply loosening the pin.
Further advantages and desirabilities of this invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings S wherein preferred embodiments of the present invention are clearly shown.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION One embodiment of the cutting tool holder reentcin system 10 is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The cuzzing tool retention system 10 includes a support block 12 and a cutting tool holder 14 mated to the support block 12 via pins 16. In the embodiment shown, a cutting tool 18 may be rotatably and releasably mounted within the cutting tool holder 14. However, the scope of this invention would cover cutting tool holder retention systems in which the cutting tool is non-rotatably 20 mounted.
In use, such support blocks 12 can be distributed over and fastened to, such as by welding, the circumference and length of a drum or other body (not shown) according to any desired pattern. The drum or 9 25 other body may be driven by any conventional and suitable power means to cause the cutting tools 18 to engage and 9 break up material that they are applied to. Such applications are well known in the art, and will not be described further here.
The cutting tool 18 typically has an elongated body. The cutting end 22 of the cutting tool 18 typically comprises a hard cutting insert 24 mounted onto a generally conical outer region 26. This hard cutting insert 24 may be made from cemented tungsten carbide or S 3any other suitable material. The hard cutting insert 24 S' is generally mounted at the end of the conical outer I~ i I I WO 97/05363 PCTIUS96/1069 7 region 26 where the cutting insert 24 may be brazed or otherwise suitably fastened into place. The cutting tool 18 also includes a tool shank 28 adjoining a shoulder of the conical outer region 26. Because such cutting tools are generally known in the art, they need not be described in further detail here.
Cutting tool holders may have a variety of configurations. The cutting tool holder 14 shown in this embodiment has an outer wear region 32 and a shank portion 34 joined at a holder shoulder 36. The cutting tool holder 14 defines a tool bore 38 in which the cutting tool 18 may be rotatably or otherwise mounted.
Such rotatable or non-rotatable mountings, are well known in the art, and will not be described in further detail here.
While the shank portion 34 of the cutting tool holder 14 may have a variety of configurations, the shank portion 34 as shown is tapered. The shank portion 34 may be made of solid material, or as shown here, may have a 20 cavity such as a vertical bore 44. The shank portion 34 also has a holder engagement recess which in this embodiment comprises transverse pin bores 46 which are aligned along the axis designated and which intersect the center axis of the shank portion 34. The transverse pin bores 46 are tapered. The holder engagement recess has a holder engagement surface 48 which in the embodiment shown is the lower inclined surface of the tapered transverse pin bores 46.
The support block 12 typically has a tool holder bore 54 surrounded by a seating shoulder region 56. The tool holder bore 54 in this preferred embodiment is tapered so as to match the taper of the shank portion 34 of the cutting tool holder 14. It has been found preferable that the maximum total included taper 35 angle be approximately 160.
iI(7 WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/I2069 8 The support block 12 also has a side surface 58 and a base 60 which may be mounted to a drum or other body (not shown) by way of welding or any other suitable method.
The tool holder bore 54, and accordingly the cutting tool holder 14 and the cutting tool 18, is typically pitched in the direction of travel of the cutting tool 18, designated as direction in Figure 1.
For the purpose of this invention, the support block 12 has block pin bores 62, which are transversely aligned along the axis designated and which intersect the center axis of the tool holder bore 54 in a perpendicular relationship.
In the embodiment shown, the block pin bores 62 have a block threaded portion 64 extending from the side surface 58 to the tool holder bore 54. At the end of the threaded portion, an annular groove 66 may optionally be provided in which an O-ring 68 may be housed.
o 20 The pins 16 are movably mounted to the support block 12. In this embodiment of the invention, the pins 16 are movably mounted via a block engagement portion which is threaded. The threaded block engagement portion 70 of the pin 16 is designed to threadably engage the S* 25 threaded portion 64 of the block pin bores 62 of the support block 12. The pins 16 also have a pin engagement surface 72 which in this embodiment is tapered such as to provide an inclined surface 74 to engage the holder engagement surface 48 of the holder engagement recess 46.
The pins 16 also have a tightening end 76.
The tightening end 76 preferably has a configuration, such as a non-circular shape, a protrusion, or a receiving aperture, by which a tool may be used to tighten the pins 16 in the block pin bores 62 as will be set forth. In the embodiment shown, the configuration Scomprises a hexagonal receiving aperture 78 designed to Sreceive an allen wrench.
c:/ WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/12069 9 While the pins 16 may be made of any suitable material, an alloy steel, such as SAE 4140 or SAE 4340, is preferred.
While two pins 16 are shown as being used in the embodiment depicted, one or more pins may be used.
No matter what number of pins are used, the axes of the transverse pin bores 46, and correspondingly the block pin bores 62, need not intersect the tool bore 38 in a perpendicular relationship. Instead, the transverse and block pin bores may be inclined at an angle to the tool bore 38, preferably downwardly from the block surface 58 to the center axis of the tool holder 14 at an angle between 707 and 900. Furthermore, if two or more pins are used, the axes of the transverse pin bores, and correspondingly the block pin bores, need not be transversely aligned, nor is it required that they S* intersect.
To use the embodiment of this invention shown in Figures 1 and 2, the holder shank portion 34 of the cutting tool holder 14 is inserted into the tool holder bore 54 of the support block 12 such that the transverse pin bores 45 of the cutting tool holder 14 and the block pin bores 62 of the support block 12 are roughly aligned.
The cins 16 are then inserted into the succort 25 block pin bores 62. At this point, the transverse pin bores 46 and the block pin bores 62 are still roughly aligned as illustrated by the axes and shown on the left half of Figure 2. At this point, there will also preferably be a small gap between the holder shoulder 36 and the seating shoulder region 56 of the support block 12, such as shown on, the left half of Figure 2.
The pins 16 are then moved such that the inclined surface 74 of the pin engagement surface 72 will engage the holder engagement surface 48 of the cutting tool holder 14. This movement of the pins 16 is accomplished via the tightening end 76 of the pin 16 WO 97/0-4363 PC/US96/12069 0* 0 0 0 a O aa a a 'r Awhich is engaged, with a tool (not shown) or other means, so as to threadably engage the threaded block engagement ortion 74 of the pin 16 in the threaded portion 64 of the block pin bore 62. Nylok manufactured by Nylok Fastener Corporation, or any other suitable material or adhesive, may be employed to help prevent the pin 16 from backing out of the block pin bore 62 during use.
Because at least one, in this case both, of the holder engagement surface 48 and the pin engagement surface 72 defines an inclined surface, the holder shank 34 of the cutting tool holder 14 will be forcibly wedged downward in the direction marked into a tight fitting relationship with the tool holder bore 54 of the support block 12 until the holder shoulder 36 abuts the seating shoulder region 56. At this point, in the embodiment shown, the axis of the transverse pin bores 46 and the axis of the block pin bores 62 will be substantially coincident as shown on the right half of Figure 2. In order to accomplish this result, it is 20 creferred that the holder engagement surface 48 and pin engagement surface 72 each have a maximum total included angle of approximately 160. The resulting fit, as shown on the right side of Figure 2, is especially secure because the holder shank portion 34 and the tool holder 25 bore 54 are matingly tapered.
Accordingly, the resulting tight fit, and the holder shoulder 36 abutting the block seating shoulder region 56, advantageously prevents the cutting tool holder from rotating about the axis of the pins 16.
30 The wedging effect between the holder engagement surface 48 and pin engagement surface 72 in-conjunction with the wedging between the holder shank 34 and the tool holder bore 54 will also minimize loosening due to vibration.
As a further advantage, when the tool holder is worn, it is easily removed and changed by simply loosening the S pins 16.
-I
a(7 w; "/m i r I I WO 97/05363 PCJUS96/12069 An alternative embodiment of this invention is shown in Figure 3 which is a sectional view similar to Figure 2. This embodiment is very similar to the cutting tool holder retention system 10 shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Accordingly, the same components have been referenced using the same reference characters followed by an apostrophe. The main difference is the pin 100 which in this embodiment comprises a screw or threaded bolt 102, a jam member 104, and a cone member 106. The jam member 104f has cone end 108, a cylindrical section 110, a tool end 112, and a threaded throughbore 114. The tool end 112 preferably has a configuration, such as a noncirc--ular shape, a protrusion, or a receiving aperture, by which a tool may be used to retain the jam member 104 in a stationary position while the screw or threaded bolt 102 is being tightened. In the embodiment shown, the :tool end 112 has a hexagonal nut configuration designed to be engaged by a wrench.
The cone member 106 has a cone end 116, a U: 20 cylindrical end 12.8, and a smooth throughbore 120. The exterior surface of the cone ends 108 and 116 define pin *engagement surfaces 122 and 124 respectively which, as a result of the taper of the cone ends 2.08 and 116, provide inclined surfaces to engage the holder engagement surfaces 48' o-f the pin bores 46'. It is preferred that :the pin engagement surfaces 122 and 124, and the pin engagement surf aces 48'1, have a maximum total included angle of approximately 160.
The screw or threaded bolt 102 has a threaded shaft 126 and a head 128 preferably with a configuration, such as a non-circular shape, a. protrusion, or a receiving aperture, by which a tool may be used to tighten the screw or threaded bolt 102 in relation to the jam member 104. .In the embodiment shown, the Configuration of the head 128 is hexagonal such as to be engaged by a suitable wrench.
WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/12069 12 This alternative embodiment is also different from the er--odiment disclosed in Figures 1 and 2 in that the block 12' of this embodiment has a block pin bore 130 which is not threaded, but instead is smooth-walled so as to slidably receive the cylindrical section 110 of the jam member 104 and the cylindrical end 118 of the cone member 106.
The use of this embodiment is similar to the use of the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2. First, the holder shank portion 34' of the cutting tool holder 14 is inserted into the tool holder bore 54' of the support block 12' such that the transverse pin bores 46' and the block pin bres 130 are roughly aligned. At this point, there will preferably be a small gap between the holder shoulder 36' and the seating shoulder region 56' cf the suPoort block 12'. The screw or threaded bolt 102, with the cone member 106 already slid onto the shaft 126 is then inserted through the support block pin bores 62' and the transverse pin bores 46'. The jam member 104 20 is then threadablv tichtened onto the shaft 126 such that the pin engagement surfaces 122 and 124 will engage the holder engagement surface 48' of the cutting tool holder 14'. Because at least one, in this case both, of the holder encacement surfaces 48' and the pin engagement 25 surfaces 122 and 124 defines an inclined surface, the *9 shank portion 34' of the cutting tool holder 14' will be wedged downward in the direction marked into a tight fitting relationship with the main bore 54' of the **9 support block 12' until the holder shoulder 36' abuts the seating shoulder region 56' as shown in Figure 3. In order to accomplish this result, it is preferred that the holder engagement surface 48' and pin engagement surfaces 122 and 124 have a maximum total included angle of approximately 160 -a35 Another alternative embodiment of the cutting tool holder retention system 200 is shown in Figures 4, and 6. This cutting tool retention 200 includes a M I WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/I2069 13 support block 202 having a main bore 204, a cutting tool holder 206 having a holder shank portion 208, and pins 210. A cutting tool 212 may be rotatably mounted within the cutting tool holder 206. While the geometrical configuration of the support block 202 and the cutting tool holder 206 has been changed, this embodiment is similar to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 and 2 with the exception that the two pins 210 have axes which need not be aligned and which need not be perpendicular to the axis of the shank portion 208 of the cutting tool holder 206. Instead, the axes of the two pins 210 are inclined at an angle as best shown in Figure The cutting tool holder 206 in this embodiment is generally symmetrical about the axis and includes an outer wear region 214 and a holder shoulder 216. The cutting tool holder 206 defines a tool bore 218 in which the cutting tool 212 may be rotatably and releasably mounted. As shown in this embodiment, the tool bore 218 defines an annular keeper groove 220. The cutting tool 20 212 shown in this embodiment has a tool shank 222 defining an annular shank groove 224 adapted for 4 receiving a split keeper ring 226 having projections 228.
The tool shank 222 is rotatably mounted within the tool bore 218 via the projections 228 of the split keeper ring 226 which fit within the annular keeper groove 220 of the *e tool bore 218. Such a mounting is described in U.S.
Patent No. 3,519,309 to Engle et al. and is generally 44** S: known in the art.
*Alternatively, the cutting tool 212 could be rotatably mounted within the tool bore 218 via the mounting disclosed in a co-pending application entitled "Cutting Tool Retention System," filed on August 2, 1995, having U.S.S.N. 08/510,160, and naming Ted Richard Massa as the inventor.
The shank portion 208 of the cutting tool holder 206 of this embodiment comprises a generally cylindrical portion 230 and an upper tapered portion 232 WO 97/05363 PCTIUS96/12069 14 adjacent the shoulder 216. The shank portion 208 also has a holder engagement recess which in this embodiment comprises inclined holder pin bores 234, the axes of which intersect the center axis of the shank portion 208. The holder engagement recess has a holder engagement surface 236 which in the embodiment shown is the lower inclined surface defined by the tapered surface of the inclined holder pin bores 234.
The support block 202 has a seating shoulder region 238. The support block 202 defines inclined block pin bores 240 having a center axis which intersects the center axis of the main bore 204 of the support block 202. The inclined block pin bores 240 in this embodiment are threaded. In order to provide working clearance for the pins 210, and as shown in Figure 6, the axes of the two block pin bores 240 intersect at an .D angle, in this example at 900 relative to each other. Of 9@ *e course, the axes of the two block pin bores 240 could intersect at any given angle, and in actuality, need not 20 intersect at all.
The pins 210 have a structure identical to the pins 16 described with regard to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 and 2. Accordingly, the pins 210 have a pin engagement surface 242 which are tapered to provide an inclined surface to engage the holder engagement surface 236 of the holder engagement recess, the inclined holder pin bores 234 shown in this embodiment. Similar to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 and 2, the pins 210 are inserted into the inclined block pin bores 240 after being roughly aligned with the inclined holder pin bores 234. At this point, there will preferably be a small gap between the holder shoulder 216 and the seating shoulder region 238 of the support block 202.
The pins 210 are then threadably moved such 5 that the pin engagement surface 242 will engage the holder engagement surface 236 of the cutting tool holder 206. Because at least one, in this case both, of the I -3 WO 97/05363 PCTUS96/12069 holder engagement surface 236 and the pin engagement surface 242 defines an inclined surface, the tapered crtion 232 of the holder shank portion 208 of the cutting tool holder 206 will be wedged downward into a tight fitting relationship with the main bore 204 of the support block 202 until the holder shoulder 216 abuts the seating shoulder region 238 of the support block 202 as shown in Figure 5. In order to accomplish this result, it is preferred that the holder engagement surfaces 236 and the pin engagement surfaces 242 have a maximum total included angle of approximately 160. Not only will this result in a ticht fit similar to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 and 2, but because the pins 210 are inclined along the axes some of the load carried by the pins 208 will be distributed axially along the pins 208, resulting in a stronger connection overall.
SWhile any angle could be utilized, it is preferred that the pins 208 be set at an angle of approximately 70 C to 90° relative to the axis of the 20 main bore 204 of the support block 202. As shown in Figure 5, it is also preferred that the pins 208 be inclined downwardly from the surface of the support block 202 to the axis of the tool holder 214. While the axes of the pins 210 and the block pin bores 240 25 preferably intersect at the center axis of the main "bore 204, many other arrangements are possible and included in the scope of this invention. Furthermore, while two pins 210 are shown as being used, one or more pins may be used.
Yet another alternative embodiment of the cutting tool holder retention system: 300 is shown in Figures 7-12. This cutting tool holder retention system 300 includes a support block 302 having a tool holder bore 304 and block pin, bores 306, a cutting tool holder 303 having a holder shank portion 310, and a pin 312. A cutting tool 314 may be rotatably mounted within the i WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/12069 16 cutting tool holder 308. While the geometrical configurations of the support block 302, cutting tool holder 308, and cutting tool 314 may vary in an infinite number of ways, this embodiment is identical to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 with the exception that the shank portion 310 of the cutting tool holder 308, the block pin bores 306 of the support block 302 and the pin 312 have been altered. Accordingly, only those components of the holder retention system 300 which have been altered will be described in further detail with recard to this embodiment.
The cutting tool holder 308 typically has an cuter wear region 315 joining the holder shank portion 310 at a holder shoulder 316. While the holder shank portion 310 of the cutting tool holder 308 may have a variety of configurations, the holder shank portion 310 as shown in Figures 7, 8, and 9 is tapered along a center axis The holder shank portion 310 may be made of a solid material, or as shown in Figure 8, may have a 20 cavity such as a vertical bore 317. The shank portion 310 also has a holder engagement recess which in this embodiment comprises a transverse pin bore 318. The transverse Din bore 318 in this embodiment is cylindrical and aligned along a center axis designated and which 25 preferably intersects the center axis of the shank Sportion 310. The holder engagement recess has a holder engagement surface 320 which in the embodiment shown, is the surface defined by the transverse pin bore 318, especially the lower surface when locking the tool holder 308 and the upper surface when releasing the tool holder 308.
As best shown in Figures 7 and 8, the pin bores 318 also define pin bore grooves 319 along the lower surface of the pin bores 318. The pin bore grooves 319 in this embodiment are semi-cylindrical in shape.
Mating pins 321 having a cylindrical configuration reside within the pin bore grooves 319. The mating pins 321 may ,7V:t WO 9 7/05363 PCT/US96/12069 17 be press fit into the pin bore grooves 319 in which case the pin bore grooves 319 will have a cross section ccnfiTuraticn slightly greater than a half circle or may be held in position using any suitable fastening method such as by tack welding or epoxy adhesives. The mating pins 321 may be made of any suitable material, such as 52100 steel.
As best shown in Figure 9, the holder shank pcrtion 310 also defines a holder slot 322 defined by two vertical slot sides 324 which intersect the transverse pin bore 318. Additionally, the holder shank 310 defines jan recesses 326 having vertical recess walls 327.
As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the tool holder bore 304 of the support block 302 may be partially surrounded but is more typically fully surrounded by a seating shoulder region 328. The tool holder bore 304 of this embodiment has a holder bore center axis which coincides with the axis of the shank portion 310 of the cutting tool holder 308 when the components are 20 assembled as shown. Furthermore, the support block 302 has block pin bores 330, which are cylindrical and aligned along the block pin bore axes designated As shown in Figure 8, the block pin bore axes intersect the axis of the transverse pin bore 318 at an angle 25 The block pin bores 330 have a block engagement surface 332, which in the embodiment shown is the surface defined by the block pin bores 330, especially the upper surface when locking the tool holder 308 and the lower
S
surface when releasing the tool holder 308. As shown in Figure 8, the block engagement surface 332, and in this embodiment the block pin bores 330 having axes are inclined downwardly relative to the tool holder bore 304.
As shown in Figures 8, 10, 11, and 12, the pin 312 includes a pin shaft 340, a first jam member 342 and a second jam member 344 which are assembled along the center axis The pin shaft 340 in this embodiment has a firs: pitch threaded portion 346, an unthreaded WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/12069 18 portion 34S, and a second pitch threaded portion 350.
While not shown, the pin shaft need not have an unthreaded portion. Furthermore, while the first pitch threaded portion 346 is shown as being a left hand threaded portion and the second pitch threaded portion is shown as being a right hand threaded portion, that need not be the case. Instead, the pin shaft, if threaded, could have threaded portions which are both left hand or right hand but which differ in thread pitch. While the threads may be made in any suitable manner, as shown in Figure 4 the first and second pitch threaded portions 346 and 350 may be cold rolled. The pin shaft 340 also has an engagement structure 352 which, in the embodiment shown, consztiutes hexagonal recesses centered along the axis of the pin shaft 340.
As shown in Figure 11, the first jam member 342 has an aligned cylindrical portion 356 aligned along the axis the outer end of which has a chamfer 358, referably at an angle of 450 to the axis Adjoining 20 the aligned cylindrical portion 356 at a jam shoulder 360 is an angled cylindrical portion 362 having a center axis set at an angle to the axis e The first jam member 342 also defines a threaded jam bore 364 which, in the embodiment shown, 25 constitutes a left hand threaded bore manufactured to threadably engage the first pitch threaded portion 346 of the pin shaft 340.
The first jam member 342 also defines a mating groove 365 along the lower surface of the angled cylindrical portion 362. In this embodiment, the mating groove 365 has a semi-cylindrical configuration designed to mate with the mating pin 321 as will be explained in further detail.
The pin 312: has a pin engagement surface 366.
In the embodiment shown, the pin engagement surface 366 has a holder engagement portion 368 and a block engagement portion 370. In this embodiment, the holder WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/12069 19 engagement portion 368 is the cuter surface, especially the lower surface when locking and upper surface when releasing, of the aligned cylindrical portion 356. The block engagement portion 370 is the outer surface, especially the upper surface when locking and the lower surface when releasing, of the angled cylindrical portion 362.
As shown in Figure 12, the second jam member 344 is a mirror image duplicate of the first jam member 342. Like the first jam member 342, the second jam member 344 has an aligned cylindrical portion 356', a chamfer 358', a jam shoulder 360', an angled cylindrical portion 362', a threaded jam bore 364' which in the embodiment shown has a right hand thread manufactured to threadably engage the second pitch threaded portion 350 of the pin shaft 340, and a pin engagement surface 366' including a holder engagement portion 368' and a block engagement portion 370'. Also similar to the first jam member 342, the angled cylindrical portion 362' of the 20 second jam member 344 has an axis set at an angle "L" t the center axis of the aligned cylindrical portion Like the threaded shaft 340, while the first jam member 342 is shown as having a left hand threaded 9 9 25 jam bore 364 and the second jam member 344 is shown as having a right hand threaded jam bore 364, that need not be the case. As long as the threads will engage the first and second pitch portions, 346 and 360, of the S. threaded shaft 340, the threaded jam bores of the first and second jam members 342 and 344 need only have pitches which differ.
To use the embodiment of this invention shown in Figures 7-12, the first or second jam member, 342 or 344, is partially threaded onto the first or second pitch threaded portion respectively, 346 or 350, of the pin shaft 340. The pin shaft 340, together with the one Sfirst or second jam member 342 or 344, is then inserted WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/12069 through the block pin bores 306 such that the mating groove 365 or 365' of the first or second jam member, 342 cr 344, is aligned roughly with the mating pin 321 of one cf the block pin bores 306.
The other of the second or first jam member, 344 or 342, is then threaded onto the other of the second or first pitch threaded portion, 350 or 346, of the pin shaft 340 until the mating groove 365' or 365 of the second or first jam member, 344 or 342, is roughly aligned with the mating pin 321 of the other one of the block pin bores 306.
An appropriate tool may then be used to engage Zthe engagement structure 352 of the pin shaft 340 and roate the pin shaft 340 appropriately such that the first and second jam members, 342 and 344, will be drawn to:ards each other. At the same time, the first and wo.: second jam members 342 and 344 must be maintained in position until the mating grooves 365 and 365' engage the :mnaring pins 321. As shown on the left half of Figure 8, 20 the pin shaft 340 may be rotated until the angled cylindrical portion 362 and 362' of the first and second jar members, 342 and 344, reside partially within the block pin bores 306.
The holder shank portion 310 of the cutting 5 tol holder 308 may then be inserted into the tool holder bore 304 of the support block 302 such that the pin shaft 340 will slide through the holder slot 322 into the o transverse pin bore 318 of the cutting tool holder shank portion 310.
At this point, and as shown on the left half of Figure 8, the holder shank portion 310 of the cutting tool holder 308 will be loosely fitted within the tool holder bore 304 of the support block 302.
An appropriate tool may then again be used to engage the engagement structure 352 of the pin shaft 340 and rotate the pin shaft 340 appropriately such that the first and second jam members, 342 and 344, will be drawn WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/12069 21 towards each other. As the first and second jam members, 342 and 344, are drawn towards each other, the aligned cylindrical portions 356 and 356' of the jam members, 342 and 344, will be forced into the transverse pin bore 318 aided by the chamfers 358 and 358' on the ends of the jam members. At the same time, the rotation of the pin shaft 340 will cause the block engagement portions 370 and 370' of the pin engagement surfaces 366 and 366' of the angled cylindrical portions 362 and 362' to travel along and engage the block engagement surfaces 332 of the block pin bores 330 such that the jam members will move in the direction marked as shown in Figure 8. At the same time, the holder engagement portions 368 and 368' of the pin engagement surfaces 366 and 366' of the jam members, 342 and 344, will engage the holder engagement surface 320 of the cutting tool holder shank portion 310 thereby forcibly wedging the cutting tool holder shank portion 310 of the cutting tool holder 308 in the direction marked as shown in Figure 8, into a tight fitting relationship with the tool holder bore 304 of the support block 302 until the holder shoulder 316 abuts the seating shoulder region 328 as shown on the right half of Figure 8. As show.n on the right 'half of Figure 8, the jam shoulder 360 may then protrude into the jam recess 326 of the cutting tool holder shank portion 310.
The cutting tool holder retention system 300 shown in Figures 7-12 should work satisfactorily when the transverse pin bore 318 of the cutting tool holder shank S• portion 310 has a diameter of 1.000" to 1.001", the holder slot 322 has a dimension of .627" to .630" between the vertical recess walls 324, the block pin bores 306 have a diameter of 1.124" to 1.125" set at an angle "L" between 50 10' and 8° 10', the aligned cylindrical portion 356 of the jam members 342 and 344 has a diameter of 0.998" to 0.999", the angled cylindrical portion 362 of the jam members has a diameter of 1.122" to 1.123" and ,WO 97/05363 PCT/US96/12069 22 is set at an angle between 50 10' and 80 10' so as to match the angle of the block pin bores 306, and the threaded jam bore 364 constitutes a 37/64" through hole, tapped to 5/8" 24 thread, right or left handed as required, and the unthreaded portion 348 of the pin shaft 340 has a diameter of 0.54" while the first and second pitch threaded portions 346 and 350 are 5/8" 24 thread, left or right handed as required. All of the components may be made from any appropriate grade of steel, such as grade 4140 steel, 38-43 HRC.
Nylok manufactured by Nylok Fastener Corporation, or any other suitable material or adhesive, may be employed to help prevent the pin shaft 340 from rotating during use and allowing the first and second jam members, 342 and 344, from loosening.
:When it is desired to change the cutting tool holder 308, the pin shaft 340 is simply rotated in the opposite direction via the engagement structure 352 until
I
the cutting tool holder shank portion 310 can be removed 20 from the tool holder bore 304 and the pin shaft 340 via the holder slot 322. As shown on the left half of Figure 8, the first and second jam members, 342 and 344, need *9* not be removed from the pin shaft 340, and the mating grooves 365 and 365' need not be disengaged from the 25 mating pins 321, for the cutting tool holder 308 to be removed.
Advantages of this embodiment are that the matching cylindrical surfaces of the transverse pin bore 318 and the aligned cylindrical portions 356 and 356' of the jam members, 342 and 344, together with the matching cylindrical surfaces of the block pin bores 330, and the corresponding angled cylindrical portions 362 and 362' of the jam members, will provide a better contacting relationship between -the engagement surfaces, thereby lowering contact stresses. Furthermore, because the pin shaft 340 moves in the direction as the cutting tool holder retention system 300 is tightened, a locking i SWO 97/05363 PCT/US96/12069 23 action is provided to restrain the system and help prevent undesired loosening. Similarly, during unlocking, the pin translates forward in a direction reverse of providing a "bump off" motion to the cutting tool holder 308 for easier disengagement. Yet another advantage, is that the holder slot 322 in the cutting tool holder shank portion 310 allows the cutting tool holder 308 to be changed without the removal of any pins or screws from the support block 302. Lastly, another advantage of this embodiment is that by not using conical components, the need for special tooling is eliminated and manufacturing costs are reduced.
