Definitions

  • the invention relates to a round shank bit of a milling device having a plurality of round shank chisels, each mounted rotatably about a chisel axis and along the chisel axis a chisel head, a chisel shank and at least one holding element, wherein the chisel shanks each along its chisel axis in a bore in the cutter mounted chisel holders are inserted such that the chisel heads rest with a respective radially projecting collar on the chisel holders, wherein the holding elements arranged on a lateral surface of the chisel shafts and the round shank chisel by means of the holding elements in the holes are halterbar, and wherein means of the milling device a surface a material in a direction parallel to the surface extending milling direction can be milled so that the bit heads in the cutting direction next to and behind the other engage in the material.
  • Such milling devices are used for the removal of materials into which a chisel head can penetrate at least at the beginning of the milling process.
  • the milling process can be described at this moment rather than cutting the material, only towards the end of the individual chip is separated by brittle fracture of the material.
  • Such materials include, for example, asphalt-based road surfaces or concrete surfaces removed during maintenance or repair work, but also natural rocks, soils and coal mined in mining.
  • viscoelastic Compared to purely brittle material such materials are referred to as "viscoelastic" because they show both elastic damping properties and absorption behavior. In contrast to the ideal elasticity, a viscoelastic material reacts with a time delay to a load and only reaches a new equilibrium state after a more or less long time. Most plastics also have viscoelastic properties.
  • the known milling devices usually have a rotatable roller, on the lateral surface of the round shank bits are mounted.
  • the bit axles are inclined in this case from the radial direction substantially in the direction of rotation.
  • the rotating roller is perpendicular to its axis of rotation substantially along a material surface method, wherein the rotational direction of the roll rotation of a rolling on the surface roller is opposite.
  • the chisel heads engage by the amount of the layer thickness below the material surface in the material to be removed.
  • the engagement begins at a time when the individual bit head is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the roller relative to the surface.
  • the rotation of the roller and this travel speed of the milling device add up to a feed of the chisel head initially substantially parallel to the surface in the milling direction.
  • the chisel heads of such milling devices are subject to high wear due to the dynamic load during the milling process and must be renewed regularly.
  • Round shank bits have a chisel shank, which can be inserted into a bore of a chisel holder.
  • the chisel head with a carbide tip protrudes out of the hole and abuts the chisel holder with a collar projecting radially out of the chisel axis.
  • On the cylindrical lateral surface of the chisel shaft such a round shank chisel on a holding element, with which the round shank bit in the bore is halterbar.
  • the DE 36 30 444 A1 discloses a round shank bit having an elastomeric member between the collar on the bit head and the corresponding abutment surface on the bit holder to reduce material stress at that location.
  • a retaining ring (a so-called “snap ring”) is proposed at the free end of the chisel shank, which supports the round shank chisel in the axial direction on a corresponding contact surface on the chisel holder.
  • the DE 37 01 905 C1 discloses another round shank chisel, which has a steel clamping sleeve as a holding element, which encloses the chisel shank.
  • the clamping sleeve is pressed radially together by a ring as an assembly aid.
  • the clamping sleeve is relaxed, applies to the inner surface of the bore and fixed the chisel shank against displacement in the direction of the chisel axis.
  • the WO 95/27840 A discloses a round shank bit whose shank has at its rear end a groove into which in turn a holding element is inserted.
  • the groove has a rectangular shape in cross section.
  • the known round shank chisel have in principle in the mounted state both in the radial and in the axial direction with respect to the chisel axis at least a slight game.
  • This game is at the round shank chisel after the DE 37 01 905 C1 reinforced with the additionally circumferential around the gap between the clamping sleeve and drill collar. Due to this game, the bit shank of the round shank chisel in operation in the bore of the chisel holder and is supported in the end only at two defined points - on the collar of the bit head and at the end of the chisel shaft - on the bit holder.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a holding element that minimizes the game between pick and chisel holder and indirectly the wear on the bit holder while allowing easy assembly and disassembly of the round shank chisel.
  • An inventive round shank chisel is preferably designed such that the chisel shank thickened conically to its end facing away from the chisel head.
  • a conical bearing surface for the retaining element is provided, which in the case of an axial displacement of the round shank chisel in the chisel holder a radial expansion, i. Normal force, and therefore causes an axial frictional force on the adjacent holding element.
  • this is an inventive retaining element made of an elastomer, the holding element is radially expanded.
  • the retaining element is reinforcedly supported on the corresponding surface of the bore, which in turn improves the holding action of the retaining element.
  • the cone angle ⁇ is preferably between 10 ° and 30 °.
  • a chisel holder for the round shank chisel according to the invention preferably has in the region of the holding element a purely cylindrical bore, which can be manufactured very simply accurately and inexpensively.
  • the need to provide any grooves or recesses in the holder bore eliminated due to the frictional adhesion principle between the outer surface of the preferably slightly biased holding member and the lateral surface of the holder bore.
  • no passport problems In a wear of the stop collar of the round shank chisel or the corresponding stop surface of the chisel holder arise due to the mere cylindrical shape of the holder bore no passport problems.

  • the assembly is carried out starting from the preassembled state by the round shank chisel 1 is driven by impacts with a copper hammer, not shown, on the hard metal tip 6 in the direction of the chisel axis 2 in the bore 12.
  • the collar 5 of the round shank chisel 1 rests against the chisel holder 13 on a contact surface 16 formed perpendicular to the chisel axis 2.
  • a plurality of bit holders 13 with round shank bits 1 is mounted on a rotatable milling drum of a milling device.
  • the milling device is designed for milling a surface of a concrete structure or of road surfaces in a milling direction running parallel to the surface.
  • the chisel axis 2 of the round shank chisel 1 is inclined with respect to a radial direction of the milling drum in the direction of rotation thereof.
  • the milling drum and its radial and rotational directions, the milling device and the concrete structure or the road surface and the milling direction are not shown.
  • the chisel heads engage in the direction of milling next to and behind each other in the concrete or asphalt and carry its surface in the typical for this process "comma chips" from.

  • the drill collar 4 has at its free end 8 a radially projecting collar 26 (with the diameter 10 of the drill collar 4).
  • the holding element 18 has a parting line 27 extending in the direction of the chisel axis 2. After widening of this parting line 27 in the circumferential direction 28 of the retaining element 18 of the chisel shank 4 of the round shank chisel 1 in the groove 29 in the retaining element 18 can be clipped. In mounted on the drill collar 4 state, the holding member 18 relative to the bore 12 so that a slight radial excess.

Due to the slight excess, the holding element 18 is radially compressed during assembly and thus clamped between the contact surface 22 on the chisel shank 4 and the bore 12.
  • the radial tolerances of the contact surface 22, the bore 12 and the retaining element 18 are dimensioned such that the rotation of the round shank chisel 1 around the chisel axis 2 during the milling process is not hindered.
  • a sudden relaxation of the round shank chisel 1 from a load in the direction of the chisel axis 2 causes - as described above - an acceleration of the round shank chisel 1 in the direction of the chisel axis 2 out of the bore 12 due to the elastic properties of the chisel holder 13 and the round shank chisel 1. Due to the displacement of the chisel shank 4 in the holding element 18, the conically thickened end 25 of the abutment surface 22 initially engages the holding element 18 and reinforces its clamping against the bore 12.
  • the collar 26 engages the retaining element 18 at the end 8 of the chisel shank 4.
  • the holding element 18 is compressed in the direction of the chisel axis 2 and at the same time radially expanded.
