Abstract
A dust vacuuming drill device is adapted to be connected with a vacuum suction device by a socket, and includes a drill bit and a driven shank threadedly engaged with each other and cooperatively defining therein an internal dust passageway in communication with the socket for removing the dust generated during a drilling operation. The drill unit can be removed from the driven shank when the drill unit is broken so as to readily replace the drill unit without the need to detach the driven shank from the socket, which results in low operation and material costs.
Claims6
A dust vacuuming drill device adapted to be connected with a vacuum suction device by a socket, the socket defining a communicating chamber that has two bit ends opposite to each other in a lengthwise direction, and a suction device end disposed transverse to the lengthwise direction, comprising:
- a drill unit including
- a bit shaft having a tubular shaft wall which is elongated in the lengthwise direction to terminate at proximate and distal shaft ends, and which has a shaft inner wall surface that defines a longitudinal passage extending in the lengthwise direction and through said proximate shaft end,
- a bit tip integrally connected to said distal shaft end and having at least one first penetrating hole in communication with said longitudinal passage for dust access to said longitudinal passage, and
- an externally threaded portion disposed on said proximate shaft end;
- and
- a driven shank including
- a shank body having a tubular shank wall which is elongated in the lengthwise direction to terminate at proximate and distal shank ends such that said tubular shank wall is disposed to penetrate through the communicating chamber of the socket from one of the bit ends to project said proximate shank end from the other one of the bit ends, and which has a shank inner wall surface that defines a communicating passage extending in the lengthwise direction and through said proximate shank end, and at least one second penetrating hole which is configured in communication with said communicating passage and which is adapted to be disposed in the communicating chamber to be in communication with the suction device end of the socket,
- a driven portion integrally connected to said distal shank end for coupling with a driving device, and
- an internally threaded portion disposed on said proximate shank end and configured to be threadedly engaged with said externally threaded portion to communicate said longitudinal passage with said communicating passage such that said first penetrating hole, said longitudinal passage, said communicating passage and said second penetrating hole cooperatively define an internal dust passageway.
A method for producing a drill unit of a dust vacuuming drill device, comprising:
- providing a tubular shaft which has a longitudinal passage therein opened at a proximate shaft end;
- forming external threads on said proximate shaft end of said tubular shaft;
- forming at least one slot in a distal shaft end of said tubular shaft opposite to said proximate shaft end;
- welding a bit tip to said slot;
- and
- drilling into said bit tip at least one penetrating hole in communication with said longitudinal passage.
A method for producing a driven shank of a dust vacuuming drill device, comprising:
- providing a tubular shank which has a communication passage therein opened at a proximate shank end;
- forming an internally threaded portion on said proximate shank end;
- pressing an opposite end of said tubular shank to form a plurality of retaining grooves therein;
- and
- drilling into said tubular shank between said internally threaded portion and said retaining grooves at least one penetrating hole in communication with said communication passage.
