In the field of mechanical processing, the handle structure of keyhole knife plays a key role in the connection stability between it and the machine tool, and directly affects the precision, efficiency and safety of processing.
First, start with the material selection of the handle. Materials with high strength, high rigidity and good shock absorption performance should be selected, such as high-quality alloy steel or specially treated metal materials. Such materials can withstand large cutting forces and torques, and are not easy to deform during processing, thus providing a solid foundation for the stable connection between the tool and the machine tool spindle. For example, some high-performance handles use alloy steel that has been quenched and tempered, and its hardness and toughness are well balanced, effectively reducing the risk of loose connection caused by the material problems of the handle itself.
Second, optimize the shape design of the handle. Using a suitable taper design, such as the common BT taper or HSK taper, can ensure that the handle and the machine tool spindle taper hole are closely matched, achieving high-precision positioning and reliable connection. At the same time, adding appropriate radial positioning surfaces or keyways to the cylindrical part of the tool holder can further limit the rotational freedom of the tool holder and prevent slipping under high-speed rotation or cutting force. For example, some advanced tool holders are designed with precise plane positioning structures on the cylindrical surface, which match the corresponding structure of the machine tool spindle, greatly enhancing the stability of the connection.
In addition, consider the optimization of the internal structure of the tool holder. A well-designed pull nail or clamping mechanism can make the tool holder firmly tightened or clamped in the machine tool spindle. For example, a tool holder system with hydraulic or pneumatic clamping can provide uniform and strong clamping force to ensure that the tool holder will not loosen during processing. In addition, the internal structure should have good sealing performance to prevent impurities such as cutting fluid and dust from entering, affecting the reliability of the connection and the service life of the tool holder.
In addition, the connection between the tool holder and the tool also needs to be strengthened. Use reliable welding, threaded connection or other advanced connection processes to ensure the connection strength and coaxiality between the keyhole knife and the tool holder. For example, precise threaded connection with high-strength fastening nut can effectively prevent the relative displacement between the tool and the handle during use.
Through comprehensive optimization of the handle material, shape, internal structure and connection part with the tool, the connection stability between the keyhole knife and the machine tool can be significantly enhanced, so that the keyhole knife can perform at its best in various processing tasks, improve processing quality and production efficiency, and reduce tool damage and processing accidents caused by unstable connection.
