[0002] Tapered ball end mills are widely used in the machining of critical components such as impellers, impellers, and casings in the aerospace industry. With significant national investment in the aerospace sector, the market demand for tapered ball end mills is growing rapidly. For parts requiring large depths of cut, chip grooves are designed on the tapered ball end mill to reduce cutting forces and enhance chip removal. However, for difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium alloys, high-temperature alloys, and high-strength steel, conventional tapered ball end mills with chip grooves have the following problems:
[0003] 1. Since tapered ball ends are widely used in contour milling of curved surfaces, and because of their tapered shape, the tool diameter increases continuously from the bottom edge along the axial direction. Conventional chip flute designs may cause the rear end of the chip flute to interfere with the front end, causing the tool to vibrate and reducing the surface quality of the workpiece.
[0004] 2. The chip flute design of conventional tapered ball end mills is intended to reduce cutting forces and enhance chip removal capabilities. Its shape design directly affects the heat dissipation conditions and strength of the tool. Currently, there is still a lack of chip flute design methods that are tool function-oriented. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0053] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0054] See Figures 1 to 4As shown, a tapered ball end mill includes a bottom cutting edge 1, a peripheral cutting edge 2, and a shank 3. The peripheral cutting edge 2 includes a chip groove 4, a first flank face 5, a second flank face 6, and a chip-breaking groove 8. The intersection of the chip groove 4 and the first flank face 5 forms a cutting edge 7. The chip-breaking groove 8 is located on the first flank face 5 and the second flank face 6. The axis of symmetry of the chip-breaking groove 8 is perpendicular to the direction of the tool centerline. The width of the chip-breaking groove 8 increases continuously along the axis of symmetry from the first flank face 5 to the second flank face 6. In a plane perpendicular to the first flank face 5, the depth of the chip-breaking groove 8 remains constant.
[0055] For details, see Figure 2 As shown, the structural parameters of the chip groove 8 are based on the projection of the common tangent plane of the first flank face 5 of the front and rear sections of the chip groove 8, and the axisymmetry line of the chip groove 8 is perpendicular to the tool centerline AA. During machining, when the cutting edge 7 wears, the width of the front end of the chip groove 8 will increase. If a conventional fixed groove width design for the chip groove 8 is adopted, there is a risk that the rear end of the chip groove 8 will interfere with the machining allowance, causing the tool to vibrate, reducing tool life, and reducing the surface quality of the machined surface.
[0056] Therefore, the width of the chip separator 8 is designed to be variable, with automatic compensation functionality. (See also...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the width W of the chip-breaking groove 8 increases continuously from the cutting edge along the axis of symmetry BB from the first flank face 5 to the second flank face 6. Let the front end width be Wmin, the rear end width be Wmax, and the length of the chip-breaking groove 8 be L. In the plane perpendicular to the first flank face 5, the depth of the chip-breaking groove 8 is H, and the depth within the groove remains constant. Where F1 is the projected width of the first flank face 5, and F2 is the projected width of the second flank face 6.
[0057] See Figure 7 As shown, furthermore, in order to make the chip divider groove more significantly improve tool performance, and to ensure the stable performance of the ball end mill while improving the production efficiency and reducing the cost of the ball end mill, the chip divider groove adopts the following design method:
[0058] S701 uses orthogonal analysis and finite element simulation to obtain the optimal matching of chip groove structural parameters;
[0059] S702, based on the optimal matching results of the chip groove structural parameters, the tolerances of the chip groove structural parameters are obtained by using single-factor analysis and finite element simulation.
[0060] Specifically, the optimal matching of chip groove structural parameters is obtained using orthogonal analysis and finite element simulation, including:
[0061] Based on the number of structural parameters of the chip separator and the correlation between the parameters, an orthogonal design table is used to determine the test scheme.
[0062] The finite element method was used to select the part of a complete chip groove with the smallest core diameter / cutting edge diameter value as the simulation model. Milling simulation was carried out according to the determined test plan, and the cutting edge stress was used as the judgment criterion.
[0063] Based on orthogonal experimental range analysis, the influence of chip groove structural parameters on cutting edge stress is determined, the most significant influencing structural parameters are identified, and the optimal matching result of chip groove structural parameters is obtained based on the structural parameter-stress curve.
[0064] In this embodiment, to obtain the optimal match of the chip groove's structural parameters, orthogonal analysis is used to analyze the impact of changes in tool parameters on tool life. The structural parameters of the chip groove described in this embodiment include the front end width W. min Backend width W max The four parameters are length L and depth H, and they are independent variables. Therefore, a four-factor, three-level orthogonal design table is adopted.
[0065] Based on actual production needs, the front end width W is pre-defined. min Backend width W max The ranges for length L and depth H are set as follows:
[0066] (1) 0.05mm≤W min ≤0.2mm, W min When the chip width is <0.05mm, the chip breaking groove width is too small, reducing the chip breaking effect and easily causing chip clogging; W min When the width is greater than 0.2mm, the chip flute width is too large, which reduces the strength of the tool and makes the tool prone to vibration.
[0067] (2) 0.1mm≤W max ≤0.5mm, W max When the chip width is <0.1mm, the chip breaking groove width is too small, reducing the chip breaking effect and easily causing chip clogging; W max When the width is greater than 0.5mm, the chip flute width is too large, which reduces the strength of the tool and makes the tool prone to vibration.
[0068] (3) When 0.03D≤L≤0.2D and L<0.03D, the first or second flank face is prone to interference with the machining allowance generated by the chip flute; since L will not be greater than the width of the second flank face, when L>0.2D, the width of the second flank face of the tool is too large, and the second flank face is prone to interference, while reducing the tool's chip flute capacity and making chip removal difficult; see Figure 8 As shown, D is the bottom cutting edge diameter of the tapered ball end mill;
[0069] (4) 0.2mm≤H≤1mm, because the depth of the chip groove needs to be greater than the maximum feed per tooth of the tool. When H<0.2mm, the maximum feed per tooth of the tool is too small, which reduces the tool's machining efficiency. When H>1mm, the tool strength is too low, which easily causes vibration and reduces the tool's life.
[0070] Based on the aforementioned range of structural parameters, this embodiment uses a cemented carbide D10 tapered ball end mill as an example to generate an orthogonal design table, as shown in Table 1. A side-milling test is simulated using finite element method (FEM) simulation, with cutting edge stress as the criterion; the lower the stress, the higher the tool strength.
[0071] Table 1 Orthogonal Design Table of Chip Distributor Structure Parameters
[0072] Test number <![CDATA[W min ]]> <![CDATA[W max ]]> L H 1 0.05 0.1 0.3 0.2 2 0.05 0.3 1.15 0.6 3 0.05 0.5 2 1 4 0.125 0.1 1.15 1 5 0.125 0.3 2 0.2 6 0.125 0.5 0.3 0.6 7 0.2 0.1 2 0.6 8 0.2 0.3 0.3 1 9 0.2 0.5 1.15 0.2
[0073] Because tapered ball end mills have a taper angle α, both the cutting edge diameter and the core diameter are not constant values; therefore, the core diameter / cutting edge diameter ratio is constantly changing. (See also...) Figure 9 As shown, in order to reduce the amount of simulation calculation, the part with the smallest core diameter / cutting diameter value is selected, while having a complete chip-breaking groove structure.
[0074] See Figure 10 As shown, the model is used for simulation. Based on the change of cutting edge stress, the ranking of the significance of structural parameters to tool strength is obtained, and the optimal matching scheme of chip groove structural parameters is obtained based on the tool stress value.
[0075] The parameters and stress curves are as follows: Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown.
[0076] Depend on Figures 11 to 14 It can be seen that W max The most significant impact on tool stress is that of the chip flute design, which is also the most important structural parameter. Tool stress increases with W. max The increase gradually becomes larger, but W max ≥W min W min A chip depth greater than 0.125 mm has a relatively small impact on tool stress. However, tool stress also gradually increases with increasing L, reaching its minimum at H = 0.6 mm. Therefore, the optimal chip flute parameter for a carbide D10 tapered ball end mill is W. min =0.125mm, W max =0.3mm, L=0.3mm, H=0.6mm.
[0077] Furthermore, based on the optimal matching results of the chip groove structural parameters, the tolerances of the chip groove structural parameters are obtained using single-factor analysis and finite element simulation, including:
[0078] Based on the optimal matching results of the chip groove structure parameters, a single-factor analysis method was used, with three parameters set to constant values and the other parameter taking five values with equal tolerances, to perform finite element simulation and verify the parameter stress variation.
[0079] Using the median of the five values and the maximum value of the cutting edge stress as a benchmark, the acceptable range of stress variation is determined, and the parameter value within the stress variation range is ultimately taken as the tolerance of that parameter.
[0080] Based on the optimal matching results of the chip flute parameters of the D10 carbide taper ball end mill, in order to obtain the front end width W min Backend width W max The tolerances of the length L and depth H parameters were determined using a single-factor analysis method. Three parameters were set to constant values, while the third parameter was assigned one of five values with equal tolerances. Finite element simulations were then performed to verify the stress variation of the parameters. The median value of the parameter values and the maximum value of the cutting edge stress were used as a benchmark to determine the acceptable stress variation range. Finally, the parameter values within the stress variation range were taken as the tolerance of that parameter.
[0081] Specifically, this embodiment uses W max For example, based on the analysis above, W max It must not be less than 0.125mm, and W max The cutting edge stress of the tool increases significantly after the value is greater than 0.3 mm. Therefore, the parameter values are selected as shown in Table 2.
[0082] Table 2W max Tolerance Single-Factor Test Parameter Values
[0083]
[0084] With W max The tolerance range is defined as ±0.2% of the cutting edge stress value when the diameter is 0.25mm. The experimental simulation shows the maximum stress variation at the cutting edge of the tool as follows: Figure 15 As shown.
[0085] Depend on Figure 15 It can be seen that when W max When W is <0.15mm, the stress value will not be less than 210MPa. max When the thickness is greater than 0.3 mm, the stress value will be greater than 210.84 MPa. Therefore, W max The value ranges from 0.13mm to 0.3mm.
[0086] This embodiment only uses the backend width W max For example, the acceptable range of stress variation is determined, and the parameter values within this range are ultimately used as the back-end width W. max Tolerances. For other structural parameters, front end width W. minThe tolerances for length L and depth H can be obtained using the single-factor analysis method and finite element simulation method described above, and will not be explained in detail in this embodiment.
[0087] The chip-breaking groove design of this invention uses tool strength as the criterion, employs orthogonal analysis, and utilizes simulation analysis to obtain the optimal matching parameters for the front width, rear width, length, and depth of the chip-breaking groove, making the chip-breaking groove more significantly improve tool performance. Furthermore, using single-factor analysis and simulation analysis, the machining tolerance ranges for the front width, rear width, length, and depth of the chip-breaking groove are obtained respectively. This ensures the stable performance of the ball end mill without excessive precision, thereby improving the production efficiency of the ball end mill and reducing costs.

[0090] S702, based on the optimal matching results of the chip groove structural parameters, the tolerances of the chip groove structural parameters are obtained by using single-factor analysis and finite element simulation.

[0092] Based on the number of structural parameters of the chip separator and the correlation between the parameters, an orthogonal design table is used to determine the test scheme.
[0093] The finite element method was used to select the part of a complete chip groove with the smallest core diameter / cutting edge diameter value as the simulation model. Milling simulation was carried out according to the determined test plan, and the cutting edge stress was used as the judgment criterion.

Using the median of the five values and the maximum value of the cutting edge stress as a benchmark, the acceptable range of stress variation is determined, and the parameter value within the stress variation range is ultimately taken as the tolerance of that parameter.
