DEVICE FOR CONNECTION OF MODULES Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: machining processes; manufacture of auxiliary tools for programmable-controlled machines.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device includes connecting and base modules; connecting module has bearing end face and tail-piece with inner conical surface located perpendicularly relative to its axis; base module has mating bearing end face, mounting surface and draw screw with outer conical surface for engagement with inner conical surface of tail-piece. For extending technological capabilities, tail-piece is provided with central hole dividing its inner conical surface into two parts and two axial slots extending its end face to conical surfaces; outer conical surface of draw screw is divided into two parts by rigid rod whose diameter is lesser than width of one of said slots. Device may be provided with recess for tail-piece; length of said slots exceeds length of tail-piece. Device may be provided with additional stop; draw screw may be provided with inverted cone for engagement with additional stop.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency.
