Abstract

The planing blade axle includes an axle body and blades assembled externally onto the axle body in a predefined pattern. Tapped holes are arranged onto the blade assembly surface of the axle body for assembly of blades. A pyramidal through-hole is placed centrally onto the blade, so that the blades screw securely into the tapped hole via the bolts with pyramidal end blade. An expanded shoulder is additionally placed at a top of the pyramidal through-hole, so that an expanded flange is placed opposite to the pyramidal end of the bolt. When the blade is screwed by the bolt, a definite and solid positioning effect will be achieved if the flange contacts the expanded shoulder of the blade. The present invention efficiently prevents excessive locking and subsequent cracking of the blade, increasing positioning area, leading to prolonged service life and a more stable locking state with improved applicability.

Claims (8)

1. A planing blade axle comprising:

an axle body having blade assembly surfaces thereon, each of said blade assembly surfaces having a plurality of through-holes formed therein, each of said plurality of through-holes having a tapped hole extending into said axle body the tapped hole being threaded;

a plurality of blades assembled externally onto said axle body in a predefined pattern, each of said plurality of blades having cutting edges at a periphery thereof, each of said plurality of blades having a tapered hole formed centrally therein such that a narrow diameter of said tapered hole is at a bottom of the blade and a wide diameter of said tapered hole is away from said bottom of the blade, the blade having an opening at a top thereof, said opening extending to a shoulder formed at said wide diameter of said tapered hole, said shoulder extending radially away from said tapered hole; and

a plurality of bolts each a threaded shank and a tapered portion extending from an end of said threaded shank and a flange extending outwardly of said tapered portion opposite said shank, said threaded shank received by the tapped hole. Said plurality of bolts respectively extending through the opening and the tapered holes of said plurality of blades such that said flange is juxtaposed against said shoulder so as to fix the blade onto said blade assembly surfaces, said blade assembly surface having a recessed portion formed between adjacent blade assembly surfaces.

2. The planing blade axle of claim 1 , said shoulder and said flange having a circular shape.

3. The planing blade axle of claim 1 , said recessed portion having a blocking flange at one side thereon.

4. The planing blade axle of claim 1 , further comprising:

a metal gasket positioned between said shoulder and said flange.
