DRILLING MACHINE
A drilling machine comprises a power motor unit coupled with a spiral rod and a drill bit shaft and assembled in a mounting frame using a positioning disc. The arbor of power motor mounted on the mounting frame directly drives the drill bit shaft. The spiral rod is disposed at the periphery of drill bit shaft. A plurality of cutters are arranged between the drill bit and spiral rod at the outer perimeter of drill bit with a hollow guide notch above the cutters. The spiral rod is mounted in the positioning disc and engage a plurality of planet gears. When the arbor of power motor turns, it directly drives the drill bit shaft, drives the fast turning of drive gear at the periphery of drill bit shaft, resulting in different turning speeds with the drill bit shaft turning slowly and the spiral rod turning fast.
1. Field of the Invention
The present structure relates to a drilling machine that operates through a power motor unit in a mounting frame to produce varying turning speeds for the rotary rod and the drill bit shaft to allow smooth drilling in one try. In addition, through the turning of rotary rod, drilled materials are continuously and rapidly brought to the surface through a guide notch to achieve smooth drilling in different occasions while easing the burden on the hands of operator.
2. Description of the Related Art
Currently drilling in soil runs into a problem where the driller would continuously and automatically bore downward as the machine is pulled down by gravity. Although the drill bit is able to bore a hole and there are grooves around the bit to remove the drilled soil, the drill bit often gets stuck as it bores down further for the speed of soil removal cannot catch up with the drilling speed. Moreover, as the soil itself is loose and soft, the soil adjacent to the hole bored tends to cave into the hole and “envelop” the drill bit, making it more likely to get stuck. For the same reason that the chip removal speed cannot stay up with the drilling speed, the same problem occurs when drilling in wood, cement, metal or other materials that the deeper the drill bit goes, the more difficult it becomes to remove the chips produced. As the drill bit does the drilling and constantly rubs with the chips that are not removed in time, the drill bit not only gets stuck easily, it is also subject to severe wear and tear, which is far from being ideal. Thus this invention is proposed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary object of the present invention is to provide a drilling machine comprising a power motor unit coupled with a spiral rod and a drill bit shaft assembled in a mounting frame using a positioning disc. The arbor of power motor directly drives the drill bit shaft. A plurality of cutters and a hollow guide notch above the cutters are arranged at the outer perimeter of the drill bit of drill bit shaft. The spiral rod at the periphery of drill bit shaft matches and engages a plurality of planet gears through a drive gear, which are then assembled into one body by two rotating discs. As such, when the arbor of power motor turns, it directly drives the drill bit shaft, and at the same time, drives the fast turning of drive gear at the periphery of drill bit shaft. Thus when drilling a hole, the center tip of drill bit first aligns in position and then drills downward to guide the peripherally arranged cutters to perform rotary cutting and drilling, thereby achieving smooth drilling and easing the burden on the hands of operator.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a drilling machine, wherein the top of the spiral rod is mounted in the positioning disk through a drive gear and engage a plurality of planet gears, which are then assembled into one body between two rotating discs. As such, when the arbor of power motor turns, it directly drives the drill bit shaft, as well as the turning of connecting plate and rotating disc, which causes the plurality of planet gears positioned between two rotating discs to travel along the inner annular gear of positioning disc and leads to the fast turning of drive gear at the periphery of drill bit shaft, thereby resulting in slow turning of drill bit shaft and fast turning of spiral rod.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a drilling machine, wherein when drilling a hole at a predetermined position, the spiral rod with turning speed faster than the drill bit would continuously and rapidly remove chips from the cutting to surface through the guide notch and spiral blades. As such, it is less likely for the drill bit to get stuck or sustain serious wear as in prior art. The burden on the hands of the operator also becomes less, which are prone to injury from continuous vibration.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a drilling machine, wherein the drill bit can be changed in light of the material to be drilled when it is applied to drilling farm soil, civil work, cement, steel plate, mining or geological survey.
Yet another further object of the present invention is to provide a drilling machine, wherein the number of teeth of planet gears situated between two rotating discs and traveling along the internal annular gear of positioning disc can be adjusted in view of the worksite condition. As such, the drive gears arranged at the periphery of drill bit shaft can have different turning speeds for cutting and drilling.
