Description

60,199-065 QUICK_C~ANGE ~pINDLE-~D~pToR-FoR-T-Q-Q-L-~oLDER

The present invention relates to over spindle adaptors ror quick change tooling on high volume multiple spindle machine tools.

The present application is co-pellding with applicatioll serial number 943,825 filed December 29, 1986 of ApplicanL's Assignee, entitled QUICK CHANGE SPINDLE ADAPTOR FOR TOOL HOLDER now U.S. Patent No.
4,710,079 dated December 1, 1987.

Previously, in the use of over the spindle adaptors for quic~
change tool holders such as set forth in the co-pending application there was employed a retractable spring biased sleeve mounted upon a bodv on a spindle havlng an internal taper engaging a series of balls moun.ed within the body extending from its opposite sides for operative reta;ning engagement with a tapered collar on the tool holder for operatlvely retaining the tool holder within and upon the spindle. In working w;th aluminum parts, the cuttings often got into and piled up within the ~)aLI
assemblies and related parts.

With increased usage of alwnin~un cascines and the borin~ o such castings with certain types of multiple spindle tools, the tcols employecl are approxlmately one-third the length of the tools prev~cusly used on multipLe spindle clrill heads or on single spindLe applications There is a need for an hllproved quick change spinclle ;~dal)t-)r wherein ball bearings are not needed to eEfectively ancho~ the tool bolder within and upon the spindle and to axially bias the tool l1OICILer a~d the tool mounted thereon into the spindle.

60,199-065 An important feature of the present invention i8 to prov:i.de an improved quick change spindle adaptor for a tool holder assembly, whereill the ball bearings have been omitted and replaced by a EasLening nut rotatably mounted and anchored upon the quick change spindle adaptor assembly for cooperative registry with a threaded means upon the tool holder. Such threaded means is operatively received and threadedly engaged by the nut upon the adaptor so as to axially secure the tool holder upon the spindle with the tool holder shank projected into the spindle bore and self-centered therein.

As an important feature the power rotated spi.ndle includes an axial bore and at its forward end is adapted to receive the tool holder. A conical recess is formed within the inner bore surface at the forward end of the spindle defi.ning a conical bearing adapted to receive a centering cone upon and around the tool holder. The centering cone is arranged forwardly of the tool holder shank and is in snug axial registry with said bearing Eor maintaining an axial self-alignment oE the tool holder and spindle.

~ 6 still another feature a nut is rotatably mounted an(l anchored upon a sleeve secured to the spindle for lim:ited rotary adjustment and adapted to threadedLy receive the corresponding threaded member upon the tool holder Eorwardly oE the centerlng cone thereon Eor axially anchorillg the tool holder UpOIl the spi.ndle and Eor bia~ing tlle centering cone into continuous inward engagemetlt within the splndle bearing .

~ s still another feature, a sleeve is mounted upon ~he spindle and secured thereto and over the sleeve is rotatably mounted an outer shell retained thereon against longitudinal movement and .ncludi.ng 60,199-065 ~ ~ ~

a forwardly arranged lnternally threadecl nut adapLed to threadedly engage a corresponding threaded member UpOII the tool holder for c~ially ancllorirlg the tool holder upon the spindle.

As another eature the internally threaded nut upon the outer shell includes a pair of 180 related axial windows or interruptions in the threads adapted to cooperatively receive a pair of opposed 180 related threaded segments 1Ipon the tool holder whereby a limited angular rotation of the nut relative to the threaded segments is adaptecl .o axially anchor the tool holder upon the spindle and at the same time blas the centering cone into continuouæ inward engagement and nesting within the conical spindle bearing.

As still another feature, mounted upon the tool holder is an annular chip guard of a flexible material such as rubber having at one end an annular sleeve snugly engaging the tool holder and at its outer periphery a tapered flange in wiping and sealing registry with the nut on the outer shell for excluding chips, debris and lubricants from the interior of the nut, adaptor and the spindle.

As a further Eeature, an additlonal flexLble boot of rubber or equivalent material ls snugly mo~mted around the outer shell alld extends axially over exposed portLons oE ttle sleeve UpOII the spindle a~ld includes a radlal apertured flallge at one end in seallng reglstry with the spindle for excludinK chips, debris, and lubricants from the interior of the quick change adaptor, spindle and nut assembly.

As an important feature oE the present invention the threaded means by which the adaptor is anchored to a tool holder may be empll~yed to other tool holders mounting a tool and having an elongated shank 60 9 199-065 ~ 6~

projected lnto the bore of a power rotated spindle and keyed thereto, and wherein independent means are employed or centering the tool holder witl respect to the spindle.

60~199-~65 Figure 3 i5 an end view thereof.

It will be understood that the above drawings illustrate mexely preferred embodiments of the invention, and that o~her embodimellts are contemplated within the scope of the claims hereafter set forth.

Referring to the drawings the present quick change spindle adaptor 11 for a tool holder assembly, Figure 3, is used in conjunctioll with the power rotated spindle 13, fragmentarily sllown, adapted fcr connection to a power rotated multiple spindle drill head 15 of a machine tool schematically shown. The present quick change spindle adaptor may be used upon a single power driven spindle, but in most systems i9 employed in conjunction with high volume multiple spindle machine tools.

Spindle 13 has a forward end of reduced diameter and a longitudinal bore 19 adapted to receive tool holder 49, Figure 1. Said spindle has a longitudinal keyway 21 therein adapted to receive a Woodruff Key 59 or other key normally mountecl upon the tool holder.

The syindle 13 sometimes referred to as having a forward e~
includes a conical recess 23 within its inner bore surface at its forwarcl erld deEining a conical bearln~. The conical recess 23 OpellS Eorwa-dly and outwarclly. The lncluded allgLe beLween opposite sides oE the conical bearing, Figure 3, is 50, approximately, in the illustrative embodiment.

Sleeve 25 is mo~mted over spindle 13 at its forwarcl end alld i6 secured in position by the radial set screw 27. Said set screw extends through a radial ayerture 29 in sleeve 25 and is threaded at 31 into spindle 13, Figures 3 and 5.

60,lg9-065 In the modlfication shown in Figure 6, the set screw 27' has a button head adapted to operatively engage the normally convex thrust washer 30 within sleeve 25 and bearing against spindle 13. The l~utton head is held in compression to more firmly retain said sleeve.

A pair oE annular grooves 33 are formed within sleeve 25 adapted to receive locking rings 35 and 37, Figures 3 and 6. Amlular outer shell 39 is rotatively positioned upon sleeve 25 and i-ncludes an internal annular flange 4l in engagement with said sleeve. Said flange upon its opposite sides is retainingly engaged by the lock rings or snap rings 35 and 37. This provides a means of rotatably mounting the ouler shell 39 upon sleeve 25 and restraining said sleeve against relative longitudinal movements.

The forward end of the outer shell 39 terminates in the nut 43 which is interiorally threaded at 45 throughout 360, with the exception of a paLr of 180 axial windows 47 therein Figure 4.

The present tool holder assembly is generally indicated at 49, Figures l and 3~ sometimes reEerred to as a true tapered collet chuck holder assembly for supportlvely mounting the tool T which may be a drill, a reamer or a counter boring tool, fragmentarily shown :in Figure :L. The tool holder afi6embly includes annular body 5l intermediate its ends upon which are arranged a pair oE opposed l80 related thread segments 53, Figures l and 2. Thread segments 53 are adapted Eor registry wLthil1 nut windows ~7 and with the interior threads 45 of nut 43, Figure 3. In such assembly as the tool holder 49 is assembled luto the bore of spindle 13 the corresponding opposed thread segments 53 are axially projected into and through the axial windows l!7 in nut 43 whlcl is a part of outer shell 39.

60,199-~65 ~2~

Tool holder 49 includes elongatecl cylindrical shank 55 which extends to one end thereof and is adapted for a slidtng projection into the forward end of the corresponding bore 19 of the spindle. Annular centering cone 57 is formed upon the tool holder forwardly of shank 55 and adjacent the annular body 51 and thread segments 53. The centering cone surfaces define and includecl angle of 50, approximately, corresponding to the included angle between the corresponding opposed walls of conical recess 23 formed in the forward end of syindle 13.
Centering cone 57 is complimental to conical recess 23 and adapted ~or cooperative SIlUg nesting and axial assembly thereinto, Figure 3.

In the basic assembly using the conical bearing surface 23 and the centering cone 57, said cone is designed to seat solidly against the spindle face. The independent movement of the lock in cone 57 permits proper clamping on the center line of the spindle utilizing the present quick change spindle adaptor and including the nut 43.

The positive drive assembly 63 is threaded into the bore 61 and is adapted to operatively engage the tang 71 upon the inner encl oF
tool T for a driving relation therebetween. By lon~itudinally adjustillg the yositive drive assembly 63 relative to bore 61 the extension oE tool T from the outer end oE the tool holder may be ad~uste~d.

The bocly extenaion 65 of the tool holder 49 is exteriorally threaded. There is mountecl thereon a con~entional threaded nose piece 67 which mounts a conventional split collet assembly 69 adapted to clxially grip the tool T, frag~tentarily shown which may be a drlll, a counter boring tool, a reamer or other tool. Such tool is normally arranged UpOII
the longitudinal axis of tool holder 49 and secured thereitl upon the 60,199-065 tightening of nose piece 67 in an conventional malmer. Its descrLption is not repeated herein.

As shown in Figure 3, a chip guard 73 of flexible material such as rubber includes an annular mount sleeve 75 which surrounds the tool holder body extension 65. Portions of the chip guard extend radially outward and terminate in the tapered amlular flange 77 in operative wiping and seaLing engagement with the outer shell and nut assembly 39. The chip guard serves to exclude chips, debris and lubricants from the interior of the nut assembly, spindle and spindle adaptor.

The protective boot 79 of cylindrical shape, Figure 5, is mounted around outer shell 39 and is constructed of Elexible material such as rubber. The boot extends over an exposed portion of sleeve 25 and includes radial wall 81 apertured to cooperatively register witll the forward end of spindle 13. Boot 79 protectively seals and encloses outer shell 39, sleeve 25 and the spindle to exclude chips, debris and lubricant from the interior of the quick change adaptor, from the nut assembly and from the spindle.

In the modification shown in FLgures 7 and 8 there i.9 ShOW!I a tool holder shaft 83 of general construction wh;ch -is exterioralLJr threaded at 85 over which a nut 87, lllternally thrended at 8~, is threaded, and secured as by a set screw 27 and includes a pair of L8~
related thread segments 91 adapted for use in conjunctioll with tlle adaptor assembly of Figure 6.

The quick change spindle adaptor, sho~l in Figure fi, i5 substantially the same as above described with respect to Figure 5 e~cept that the sleeve 25 has been elongated. The spindle element L3 receiYing 60,199-065 sleeve 25 is longer. There is the longitudillal ~ore 19 axially oE
spindle 13 to receive a tool holder~ There is no centering cone as shown at 23 in Figure 5. The spindle adaptor assembly 39, 25 shown in Fi~ure 6 may be used with other types of tool holders which have different means for effecting an alignment between the tool holder and the spindle.

All that is required is that the tool holder shank 83 in Figures 7 and 8 is exteriorly threaded at 85 to receive the nut 87 having the threaded bore 89, secured in position upon the shaft 83 by set screw 27. The adaptor assembly including outer shell 39 and nut 43, 45 retained on sleeve 25 cooperatively receives the pair of opposed thread segments 91 upon nut 87 in the same manner as above described relative to Figures 3, 4 and 5. Here also the corresponding thread segments 91 are initially assembled axially into the corresponding windows 47 of the nut 43 UpOIl the quick change adaptor outer shell 39 and thereafter the nut 45 is rotated a limited distance as for example up to 90 more or less, or such sufficient angle as to fixedly anchor the tool holder to the spindle.

This is effective for securing the tool holder and in axial alignment within and upon the power rotated spindle.

With the present quLck change spindle adaptor challges i~l tooling wilL take Eive (5) seconds as compared to standard methods taking upon to two (2) mLnutes.
