Abstract

A tool arrangement with a screw-in tool and a tool receiver, the screw-in tool having a thread for engagement in a counter thread on the tool receiver. The counter thread and the thread have different thread contours and therefore, in the screwed condition, these adapt to one another by elastic deformation.

Claims (22)

1. A tool arrangement comprising:

a milling cutter having a thread disposed therein; and

a milling cutter receiver having a counter thread disposed therein;

wherein the thread and the counter thread have different thread contours, one of the thread and the counter thread being more brittle than the other, and where a thread contour includes an entire length of the thread or counter thread in a longitudinal section; and

whereupon engagement of the milling cutter with the milling cutter receiver, the less brittle of the thread and the counter thread elastically expands or compresses relative to the other such that the thread contour of the thread and the thread contour of the counter thread adapt to each other,

wherein the milling cutter and the milling cutter receiver further comprise at least one support area formed by two conical contact surfaces or conical support surfaces having different taper angles; and

wherein the two conical contact surfaces or conical support surfaces are directly adjacent to one another.

2. The tool arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the thread and the counter thread have different pitches.

3. The tool arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the thread and the counter thread are a conical inner thread and a conical outer thread having different taper angles.

4. The tool arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the taper angle of the conical inner thread is larger than the taper angle of the conical outer thread.

5. The tool arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the thread or the counter thread is disposed on a threaded plug.

6. The tool arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein at least one of the thread and the counter thread has a thread depth that declines to an end of the threaded plug.

7. The tool arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the milling cutter receiver or the milling cutter further comprises a sleeve in which the thread is disposed.

8. The tool arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the support area is formed by a first conical contact surface or conical support surface adjacent to a tool head of the milling cutter, and a second conical contact surface or conical support surface.

9. The tool arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein the first conical contact surface or conical support surface has a taper angle of 170°, and the second conical contact surface or conical support surface has a taper angle of 10°.

10. The tool arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter of a first conical contact surface or conical support surface is increased or decreased in a screw-in direction of the screw-in tool.

11. The tool arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a second support area formed by a contact surface of the milling cutter and a corresponding support surface of the milling cutter receiver.

12. The tool arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein the contact surface has an excess dimension in comparison to the corresponding support surface such that a pressing between the contact surface and the support surface occurs during assembly of the milling cutter and the milling cutter receiver.

13. The tool arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein the support surface and the contact surface are shaped as cylindrical, spherical, or conical support or contact surfaces.

14. The tool arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the thread is an inner or outer thread and, correspondingly, the counter thread is an outer or inner thread.

15. A milling cutter for a tool arrangement according to claim 1 .

16. A milling cutter receiver for a tool arrangement according to claim 1 .
