DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] See also Figure 1-Figure 8 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0032] Embodiment 1: In this embodiment, in order to solve the problem existing in the prior art, that is, the problem of low cooling efficiency of the milling cutter itself, the following solution is disclosed. Figure 1-2 The present invention comprises a tool handle 1 constituting a milling cutter body and an integrated cutter head 2, and an opening 3 is also provided on the tool handle 1, and the opening 3 is connected to a heat-resistant mechanism, wherein the heat-resistant mechanism is provided in the milling cutter, and the heat resistance of the milling cutter is improved by airflow entering the heat-resistant mechanism from the opening 3, and the heat-resistant mechanism comprises a channel 4 opened in the tool handle 1 and the cutter head 2, wherein the channel 4 is integrally formed or drilled in the tool handle 1 and the cutter head 2, and the top end of the channel 4 is connected to the opening 3, and the bottom end of the channel 4 is also connected to an outlet 5, and the outlet 5 is opened in the cutter head 2, and the milling cutter itself is at a high When the milling cutter is in operation such as high-speed rotation, the air flow enters the channel 4 through the opening 3, so that the air flow can flow in the channel 4 without directly contacting the working surface of the cutter head 2, thereby achieving air cooling and improving the heat resistance of the milling cutter. At the same time, an outlet 5 structure is connected to the bottom end of the channel 4. One of the functions of the outlet 5 is to improve the air circulation effect and thus increase the cooling rate. The second function is to open the outlet 5 in the waste discharge groove of the milling cutter head 2 or other areas prone to material jamming, and use the air flow to automatically clear the blocked position to avoid the influence of metal residue on the accuracy of subsequent workpiece processing.

[0033] The following content is a further expansion based on the above solution. The reason for the expansion is that the milling cutter is greatly affected by the working environment during high-speed rotation, and the external air supply mechanism may not be able to meet the requirements of space limitations. Therefore, the following content is disclosed. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown in the content, a drainage mechanism is also provided on the tool handle 1, wherein the drainage mechanism is used to improve the automatic air intake efficiency at the opening 3 when the tool handle 1 and the cutter head 2 rotate, and the drainage mechanism includes a drainage block 6, wherein the windward surface of the drainage block 6 is a slope structure, and the opening 3 is also on the windward surface and connected with the channel 4, wherein the drainage block 6 is post-installed or integrally formed at the exposed section position of the tool handle 1 after installation. There are two forms of this scheme. The first is a drainage block 6 that is integrally formed or post-installed on the tool handle 1, and an opening 3 is opened on the windward surface of the drainage block 6, so that during the high-speed rotation of the milling cutter, the airflow is more fully guided to enter the opening 3 in the direction of rotation.

[0034] Embodiment 2: The drainage mechanism includes a groove 7 provided in the tool handle 1, and the concave windward surface of the groove 7 is also the location of the opening 3. At the same time, the groove 7 is integrally formed or ground at the exposed section of the tool handle 1 after installation. The second form is to integrally form or ground the groove 7 structure on the tool handle 1. In this way, during the rotation of the milling cutter, the airflow is guided in the direction of rotation, so that the airflow can enter the channel 4 from the opening 3 more abundantly and be discharged from the outlet 5, thereby achieving better heat resistance and energy-saving and environmental protection effects.

[0035] Embodiment 3: In this embodiment, another solution is disclosed. This solution is suitable for milling cutter equipment with relatively ample working space. The main reason is that a circle of drainage rod structure is set on the outside of the milling cutter. The rotation of the milling cutter itself is also used to inject airflow to improve the cooling efficiency and heat resistance of the milling cutter. The rod structure also has two other special and very practical functions. One of the functions is to automatically adjust the direction of the airflow according to the change of the rotation speed. For details, please refer to Figure 4-Figure 8 The drainage mechanism also includes a fixing ring 8 sleeved on the outside of the tool handle 1 and a drainage rod 9 inserted and fixed on the fixing ring 8, and the drainage rod 9 is provided with a first input port 10 and a second input port 11 as the input end for the drainage rod 9 to guide the airflow to enter, and the output end of the drainage rod 9 is respectively connected with the opening 3 and the air pipe 14 at the corresponding position, wherein the tail end of the air pipe 14 is connected to a cleaning mechanism for generating airflow and cleaning the surface of the milling cutter when the milling cutter rotates at a low speed, and the top end of the air pipe 14 is connected to the position between the two input ports, wherein a diversion mechanism is provided in the drainage rod 9, and the diversion mechanism is used to automatically adjust the airflow to flow out from different output ends according to the rotation speed, and the diversion mechanism includes a valve plate 12, and the valve plate 12 is horizontally slidably installed inside the drainage rod 9 through a spring 13, and the valve plate 12 is blocked on the inner side of the second input port 11 when the milling cutter rotates at a high speed, and the valve plate 12 is blocked on the inner side of the second input port 11 when the milling cutter rotates at a low speed 12 is blocked between the first input port 10 and the output end of the guide rod 9. The cleaning mechanism includes a ring body 15 arranged below the fixed ring 8. The lower end face of the ring body 15 is provided with a nozzle 16 connected to its internal space, and the top of the ring body 15 is provided with an air pipe 14 connected to the inside of the ring body 15. When the milling cutter rotates at a high speed for a certain period of time, it means that the milling cutter is cutting and its body generates a large amount of heat. Therefore, in this case, the valve plate 12 stretches the spring 13 to move away from the milling cutter and block the second input port 11 and the air pipe 14. Therefore, the airflow blown into the guide rod 9 through the first input port 10 will only enter the channel 4 to complete the cooling work. After the milling cutter leaves the workpiece surface, the rotation speed is reduced and the valve plate 12 is moved back. The airflow will only enter the air pipe 14 and be ejected from the nozzle 16 to achieve airflow cleaning of the milling cutter surface. The second function is as shown below:

[0036] A magnetic block 17 is fixed to the outer surface of the valve plate 12 through an extended rod. The magnetic block 17 and the magnetic block 17 also fixed on the top wall inside the drainage rod 9 are set to repel each other. In the process of the milling cutter gradually stopping, the valve plate 12 moves in the direction close to the milling cutter. In this case, the magnetic block 17 fixed on its outer surface will move synchronously, and when it is on the opposite side of the magnetic block 17 in the drainage rod 9, it will cause the magnetic block on the valve plate 12 to swing and produce a vibration effect due to magnetic repulsion (it can also be an attractive setting), and effectively clean the groove area of ​​the milling cutter at the same time with the airflow.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
