Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of milling cutters, specifically to a combined heat-conducting milling cutter. Background Technology
[0002] Milling is a high-efficiency machining method that uses a rotating multi-edged cutting tool to cut a workpiece. During operation, the cutting tool rotates (performs the main motion) and the workpiece moves (performs the feed motion). The workpiece can also be fixed, but the rotating cutting tool must still move (simultaneously completing the main motion and feed motion). Milling machine tools include horizontal milling machines, vertical milling machines, and large gantry milling machines. These machine tools can be ordinary machine tools or CNC machine tools. Milling is generally performed on milling machines or boring machines and is suitable for machining planes, grooves, various shaped surfaces (such as milling keys, gears, and threads) and special shaped surfaces of molds. It is a mechanical machining method that uses a milling cutter as a cutting tool to machine the surface of an object.
[0003] Existing milling cutter structures are relatively simple: (1) no chip removal grooves are provided on the cutter body surface, making it difficult to remove milling waste and thus affecting the machining progress; (2) the length of the traditional milling cutter shank is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to actual machining needs, resulting in many limitations; (3) the tool holder surface does not have a clamping surface, making the tool connection unstable on the machine tool, which can easily lead to tool detachment and pose certain safety hazards. In response to the above problems, publication number: CN202122330523.0 discloses a combination milling cutter with adjustable length, including a cutter body, a cutter shank, and a tool holder. The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the cutter body has a three-blade structure and is made of high-speed steel, which improves the strength of the cutter body and increases the service life of the milling cutter. Spiral chip removal grooves are opened between the side blades to facilitate chip removal and improve milling efficiency. The outer cutter bar is connected to the outer end of the inner cutter bar in a snap-fit sliding sleeve manner through corresponding limiting grooves and limiting blocks. The outer cutter bar and the inner cutter bar are detachably connected by two symmetrical locking screws and threaded holes, which facilitates stable assembly of the cutter bar and facilitates disassembly and maintenance later. There are eight threaded holes, which are symmetrically and evenly distributed on the inner end of the inner cutter bar surface, which facilitates adjustment of the overall length of the cutter bar and increases the overall stability of the tool. The tool holder surface is symmetrically provided with two clamping surfaces, which facilitates the stable clamping of the tool holder on the machine tool and thus fixes the milling cutter.
[0004] However, the milling cutter still has the following problems: (1) The outer and inner cutter bars of the existing milling cutter are detachably connected by two symmetrical locking screws and threaded holes, which facilitates stable assembly of the cutter bar and facilitates disassembly and maintenance in the later stage. The disassembly or installation steps of the threaded connection structure are cumbersome and the adjustment efficiency is slow. Moreover, the threaded connection structure may cause the locking screws to loosen due to centrifugal force after long-term use, which affects the safety of use; (2) The heat generated during the milling process of the existing milling cutter is easy to accumulate inside the cutter body. The existing heat dissipation method mainly relies on the heat dissipation of the metal material itself, which has limited efficiency. The heat accumulation leads to a shortened tool life and may even cause chip welding, affecting the machining accuracy and chip removal effect. Utility Model Content
