Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of metal cutting, in particular to a slotting tool capable of bidirectional driving clamping. BACKGROUND

[0002] Slotting tool is one of the most commonly used numerical control tools in numerical control machining. In the tool holder structure of numerical control machine tools such as horizontal and vertical lathes, the tool positions are relatively sparse, and the space between tools is relatively large. It is very convenient to assemble and disassemble the tool bit through the fastener from the tool top surface. With the increasing demand for high-quality product processing in various industries, the bar lathe gradually replaces the conventional numerical control lathe due to its high machining precision, high production efficiency and high automation level. The bar lathe is compactly assembled with multiple square handle tools in a vertical arrangement of tool holders. The top surface of the tool is directly opposite to the bottom surface of the adjacent tool. In order to arrange more tools, the distance between the two adjacent tools is very small. The existing center numerical control slotting tool adopts the fastener on the top surface of the tool to clamp and replace the tool bit from the top surface. This is not enough for the wrench space of the compact tool arrangement structure of the bar lathe, and the tool bit cannot be replaced.

[0003] To solve the above problems, using a slotting tool capable of clamping from the side is an effective method. Such structure not only needs to ensure that the slotting tool bit can be reliably clamped, but also needs to realize the replacement of the tool bit from the side. Generally, the structure is complex and the clamping reliability is not high.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent document CN103987479B discloses a side locking clamping device. The tool bit is clamped in the tool groove accommodating groove by the action of the locking component on the taper hole in the clamping component. However, the slotting tool in this technical solution can only lock and replace the tool bit from the side, which causes inconvenience in some cutting applications. The clamping of the tool bit is through the side locking component to transmit force to the clamping component on the top surface. Compared with the traditional top screw locking structure, the clamping reliability is poorer under the condition of large cutting parameters. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a slotting tool capable of bidirectional driving clamping, which has stable and reliable structure, high clamping force, is convenient to replace the slotting tool bit and has wide application range.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0009] A locking accommodating hole is formed on the tool body and penetrates the upper clamping part and the lower supporting part, the locking accommodating hole comprises an upper accommodating section, a limiting section and a lower accommodating section arranged in sequence, the internal diameter of the limiting section is smaller than the internal diameters of the upper accommodating section and the lower accommodating section, the upper fastener comprises a limiting head and a threaded part, an internal thread hole is formed on the lower clamping part, the limiting head is arranged in the upper accommodating section, and the threaded part is connected with the internal thread hole of the lower clamping part arranged in the lower accommodating section through the limiting section.

[0010] A gap L is formed between the outer circumferential surface of the limiting head and the inner wall of the upper accommodating section, between the threaded part and the inner wall of the limiting section, and between the outer circumferential surface of the lower clamping part and the lower accommodating section, and the following condition should be met: L≥0.2mm.

[0011] The upper fastener and the lower clamping part are coaxial and the axis thereof is perpendicular to the center axis of the side driving part.

[0012] Two clamping taper holes are formed on the side of the lower clamping part, and two side driving parts are correspondingly arranged on the two sides of the tool body.

[0013] The taper angle of the driving taper surface is α, and the taper angle of the clamping taper hole is β, and the following conditions should be met: α=β, 20°≤α≤60°, 20°≤β≤60°.

[0014] The side driving part is threadedly connected with the tool body through the external thread formed on the outer circumferential surface thereof.

[0015] The distance between the limiting surface of the upper accommodating section and the resilient deformation groove is L1, and the distance between the limiting surface of the lower accommodating section and the resilient deformation groove is L2, and the following conditions should be met: L1≥2mm, L2≥2mm.

[0016] An internal wrench hole is formed on the outer end surface of the side driving part.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the advantages of:

[0018] The two-way driving and clamping groove cutting tool of the present application further comprises an elastic deformation groove formed on the tool body to divide the tool blade accommodating groove into an upper clamping part and a lower supporting part, an upper fastener is arranged on the upper clamping part and is threadedly connected with a lower clamping part arranged on the lower supporting part, a clamping taper hole is formed on the side of the lower clamping part, a side driving member is arranged on the side of the tool body and has a driving taper surface at the end thereof, the center axis of the driving taper surface is parallel to the center axis of the clamping taper hole and is provided with a downward eccentricity E, and the following conditions should be met: 0.2mm≤E≤0.5mm.

After the groove cutting blade is placed in the blade accommodating groove, the upper fastener is continuously rotated until the groove cutting blade is clamped, i.e. the groove cutting blade is clamped from the top surface. The groove cutting blade can be replaced by loosening the upper fastener. Alternatively, the groove cutting blade is placed in the blade accommodating groove, and the side driving member is continuously rotated. Since the center axis of the driving taper surface is parallel to the center axis of the clamping taper hole and is provided with a downward eccentricity E, the upper fastener is pulled downward until the groove cutting blade is clamped, i.e. the groove cutting blade is clamped from the side. The groove cutting blade can be replaced by loosening the side driving member. The structure is stable and reliable, and the clamping force is large enough. More importantly, the groove cutting blade can be clamped and replaced from the top surface or the side, which can meet the application requirements of the knife rack of the core drilling machine and expand the application range of the groove cutting tool.
