Exchangeable beater
View Patent ↗A percussion tool for comminuting materials, in particular wood waste materials, having a beater head and a shank, wherein a cutting insert with an upper cutting edge extending transversely with respect to the cutting direction is fastened on the beater head. If the cutting insert has at least one first cutting element and at least one second cutting element, and if a free space in the shape of the upper cutting edge is arranged on the beater head in the cutting direction behind the cutting insert, then the cutting elements are thus supported over a greatest possible surface and are connected with the beater head. It is thus possible to transfer greater forces into the beater head without it being broken off.

an impact plate ( 19 ) on the beater head ( 10 ) in an area between the cutting insert ( 11 ) and the shank ( 20 ) on a side facing a material to be cut, wherein the impact plate ( 19 ) is made of a hard alloy and directly adjoins a side of at least one of the first and second cutting elements that faces away from the cutting edge ( 13 ).
2. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the upper cutting edge ( 13 ) is put together from element sectors each with a cross section in a form of a segment of a circle.
3. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the upper cutting edge ( 13 ) is formed by the arcuate cutting edge sectors of the individual cutting elements ( 12 ), wherein each of the cutting elements ( 12 ) is shaped as an arc of a circle.
4. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 3 , wherein the free space ( 16 ) adjoining the cutting edge ( 13 ) has segments each of a cross section in a form of a segment of a circle, and a profiling of the cutting edge ( 13 ) transitions over a matched rear flank face ( 18 ) of the cutting insert ( 11 ) into the free space ( 16 ).
5. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 4 , wherein a steep front and a rear flank face ( 17 , 18 ) is embodied on a cutting insert ( 11 ) in front of and behind the upper cutting edge ( 13 ) when viewed in a working direction.
6. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 4 , wherein a roof-shaped profiled element with a front vertically angled cutting edge ( 14 ) and front inclined cutting edges ( 15 ) is formed on the cutting elements ( 12 ) on the side facing the beater head below the upper cutting edge ( 13 ).
7. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 6 , wherein there is an uneven number of the cutting elements ( 12 ) and a center cutting element ( 12 ) is wider when compared to the other cutting elements ( 12 ).
8. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 7 , wherein front inclined cutting edges ( 15 ) of the center cutting element ( 12 ) miss the front inclined cutting edges ( 15 ) of the cutting elements ( 12 ).
9. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the upper cutting edge ( 13 ) is put together from element sectors each with a cross section in a form of a segment of a circle.
10. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 9 , wherein the upper cutting edge ( 13 ) is formed by the arcuate cutting edge sectors of the individual cutting elements ( 12 ), wherein each of the cutting elements ( 12 ) is shaped as an arc of a circle.
11. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the free space ( 16 ) adjoining the cutting edge ( 13 ) has segments each of a cross section in a form of a segment of a circle, and a profiling of the cutting edge ( 13 ) transitions over a matched rear flank face ( 18 ) of the cutting insert ( 11 ) into the free space ( 16 ).
12. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 1 , wherein a steep front and a rear flank face ( 17 , 18 ) is embodied on a cutting insert ( 11 ) in front of and behind the upper cutting edge ( 13 ) when viewed in a working direction.
13. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 1 , wherein a roof-shaped profiled element with a front vertically angled cutting edge ( 14 ) and front inclined cutting edges ( 15 ) is formed on the cutting elements ( 12 ) on the side facing the beater head below the upper cutting edge ( 13 ).
14. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising a third cutting element ( 12 ) wherein the third cutting element ( 12 ) is a center cutting element ( 12 ) that is between the first and second cutting elements ( 12 ) and is wider when compared to the first and second cutting elements ( 12 ).
15. The percussion tool in accordance with claim 1 , wherein front inclined cutting edges ( 15 ) of the center cutting element ( 12 ) miss the front inclined cutting edges ( 15 ) of the cutting elements ( 12 ).
16. A percussion tool ( 1 ) for comminuting materials, including wood waste materials, the percussion tool ( 1 ) comprising:
a beater head ( 10 ) connected at an end of a shank ( 20 );
a cutting insert ( 11 ) with an upper cutting edge ( 13 ) extending transversely with respect to the cutting direction fastened on the beater head ( 10 );
the cutting insert ( 11 ) having a first cutting element ( 12 ) and a second cutting element ( 12 ), wherein the upper cutting edge ( 13 ) is formed by cutting edge sectors of the individual cutting elements ( 12 );
a free space ( 16 ) corresponding to a shape of the upper cutting edge ( 13 ) arranged on the beater head ( 10 ) in a cutting direction behind the cutting insert ( 11 );
each of the first cutting element and the second cutting element including a rear flank face ( 18 ) extending between the upper cutting edge ( 13 ) and the free space ( 16 ) and a front flank face ( 17 ) extending from the upper cutting edge ( 13 ) opposite the rear flank face ( 18 ), the front flank face ( 17 ) divided by a vertically angled cutting edge ( 14 ) extending from the upper cutting edge ( 13 ).
