[0036] Example 1
[0037] Combined with appendix Figure 1-7 This embodiment provides a high-performance indexable drill bit assembly, including a first indexable bit 1 and a second indexable bit 2;
[0038] like Figure 6 The first indexable insert 1 includes a first cutter body 11, a plurality of first cutting edges 12 disposed at one end of the first cutter body 11, a plurality of first cutting tips 13 disposed at one end of the first cutter body 11, and a plurality of first straight cutting edges 14 disposed at one end of the first cutter body 11, wherein the first cutting tips 13 are located between the first cutting edges 12 and the first straight cutting edges 14, and the length of the first cutting edges 12 is greater than the length of the first straight cutting edges 14;
[0039] like Figure 7The second indexable insert 2 includes a second cutter body 21, a plurality of second cutting edges 22 and a plurality of third cutting edges 23 respectively disposed at both ends of the second cutter body 21, a plurality of second cutting tips 24 and a plurality of third cutting tips 25 respectively disposed at both ends of the second cutter body 21, and a plurality of second straight edges 26 and a plurality of third straight edges 27 respectively disposed at both ends of the second cutter body 21. The second cutting tips 24 are located between the second cutting edges 22 and the second straight edges 26, and the third cutting tips 25 are located between the third cutting edges 23 and the third straight edges 27. The lengths of the second cutting edges 22 and the second straight edges 26 are not equal, and the lengths of the third cutting edges 23 and the third straight edges 27 are not equal. The side surface formed by the second cutting tips 24 and the third cutting tips 25 is configured as a first side surface 230, and the shape of the first side surface 230 is a parallelogram.
[0040] The first cutting tip 13 and the second cutting tip 24 or the third cutting tip 25 are located in the same plane.
[0041] Specifically, the first cutter body 11 is used to support a plurality of first cutting edges 12 and a plurality of first cutting tips 13, etc.; the plurality of first cutting edges 12 are used for cutting. Since the plurality of first cutting edges 12 are located at one end of the first cutter body 11, it is convenient for the first indexable insert 1 to achieve single-sided indexability, thereby increasing the service life of the first indexable insert 1. The specific number of first cutting edges 12 is not limited, preferably four; the plurality of first cutting tips 13 are used for positioning; the plurality of first straight edges 14 have the same external structure as the plurality of first cutting edges 12, but the plurality of first straight edges 14 do not participate in cutting. Since the first cutting tips 13 are located between the first cutting edges 12 and the first straight edges 14, the length of the first cutting edges 12 is greater than the length of the first straight edges 14, which makes it easier to make the offset performance of the first cutting tips 13 better, and at the same time makes it easier to increase the adjustment range of the cutting force of the first indexable insert 1, thereby making the force balance performance of the first indexable insert 1 and the second indexable insert 2 better, which is beneficial to making the force balance performance of the indexable drill bit better;
[0042] The second cutter body 21 is used to support a plurality of second cutting edges 22, a plurality of third cutting edges 23, a plurality of second cutting edge portions 24, and a plurality of third cutting edge portions 25, etc.; the plurality of second cutting edges 22 and the plurality of third cutting edges 23 are used for cutting. Since the plurality of second cutting edges 22 and the plurality of third cutting edges 23 are respectively provided at both ends of the second cutter body 21, it is convenient for the second indexable insert 2 to achieve double-sided indexability, thereby increasing the service life of the second indexable insert 2. The specific number of second cutting edges 22 and third cutting edges 23 is not limited, but preferably three. The second indexable insert 2 has several second cutting edges 24 and several third cutting edges 25 used for positioning; several second straight cutting edges 26 and several second cutting edges 22 have the same external structure, but the second straight cutting edges 26 do not participate in cutting. Since the lengths of the second cutting edges 22 and the second straight cutting edges 26 are not equal, it facilitates good offset performance of the second cutting edges 24. When the length of the second cutting edge 22 is greater than the length of the second straight cutting edge 26, the adjustment range of the cutting force of the second indexable insert 2 is relatively large. When the length of the second cutting edge 22 is less than the length of the second straight cutting edge 26, the adjustment range of the cutting force is relatively large. When the cutting force adjustment range of the second indexable insert 2 is relatively small, but since the cutting force adjustment range of the first indexable insert 1 is relatively large, even if the cutting force adjustment range of the second indexable insert 2 is relatively small, it is still easy to make the force balance performance of the first indexable insert 1 and the second indexable insert 2 good. Therefore, no limitation is made on the length of the second cutting edge 22 and the length of the second straight edge 26 here. Similarly, no limitation is made on the length of the third cutting edge 23 and the length of the second straight edge 26. However, in order to increase the synchronicity when the second indexable insert 2 is double-sided, the shape of the first side 230 is a parallelogram. This means that no matter which side of the second indexable insert 2 is used for cutting, it is only necessary to rotate the second indexable insert 2 by the same angle to make the force balance performance of the first indexable insert 1 and the second indexable insert 2 good. The first cutting tip 13 and the second cutting tip 24 or the third cutting tip 25 are located in the same plane, which makes the positioning balance performance of the indexable drill bit good, and at the same time makes the force balance performance of the indexable drill bit good.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 The first indexable blade 1 also includes:
[0044] A plurality of first corner rounded edges 15 are provided at one end of the first cutter body 11, the first corner rounded edges 15 being located between the first straight edge 14 and the first cutting edge 12.
[0045] Specifically, the first corner rounded edge 15 is used to remove the sharp edge of the first indexable blade 1, effectively preventing stress concentration in the first indexable blade 1.
[0046] Furthermore, the first indexable blade 1 also includes a first groove 16 located at one end of the first blade body 11.
[0047] Specifically, the first groove 16 is used for chip breaking, thereby reducing the size of the waste chips and thus facilitating the smoothness of chip removal of the indexable drill bit.
[0048] Furthermore, the first groove 16 is an annular closed body.
[0049] Specifically, the annular closed body facilitates an increase in the chip breaking tolerance of the first groove 16, thereby improving the chip breaking effect of the first groove 16.
[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 The second indexable blade 2 also includes:
[0051] Several second corner rounded cutting edges 28 and several third corner rounded cutting edges 29 are respectively provided at both ends of the second cutter body 21. The second corner rounded cutting edges 28 are located between the second cutting edge 22 and the second straight cutting edge 26, and the third corner rounded cutting edges 29 are located between the third cutting edge 23 and the third straight cutting edge 27.
[0052] Specifically, the second corner rounded edge 28 and the third corner rounded edge 29 are both used to remove the sharp edges of the second indexable blade 2, effectively preventing stress concentration in the second indexable blade 2.
[0053] Furthermore, the second indexable blade 2 also includes a second groove 210 and a third groove 220 respectively provided at both ends of the second blade body 21.
[0054] Specifically, both the second groove 210 and the third groove 220 are used for chip breaking, thereby reducing the size of the waste chips and thus facilitating the smoothness of chip removal of the indexable drill bit.
[0055] Furthermore, both the second groove 210 and the third groove 220 are annular closed bodies.
[0056] Specifically, the annular closed body facilitates the addition of chip-reducing grooves in the second groove 210 and the third groove 220, thereby improving the chip-reducing effect of the second groove 210 and the third groove 220.
[0057] Example 2
[0058] Combined with appendix Figure 1-7 This embodiment provides an indexable drill bit, including a high-performance indexable drill bit insert assembly as described in Embodiment 1, and further comprising:
[0059] Drill bit body 3;
[0060] The shank 4 is connected to one end of the drill bit body 3;
[0061] Chip removal groove 5 is provided on the drill bit body 3;
[0062] The first indexable insert 1 is detachably connected to one side of the other end of the drill bit body 3, and the second indexable insert 2 is detachably connected to the other side of the other end of the drill bit body 3. The area of one end of the first indexable insert 1 is larger than the area of the other end of the first indexable insert 1. The axis 9 of the first indexable insert 1 and the drill bit body 3 are parallel. The axis 9 of the second indexable insert 2 and the drill bit body 3 have a first angle 6. The distance between the axis 9 of the first indexable insert 1 and the drill bit body 3 is smaller than the distance between the axis 9 of the second indexable insert 2 and the drill bit body 3.
[0063] Specifically, the drill body 3 is used to support the shank 4, chip groove 5, first indexable insert 1, and second indexable insert 2, etc.; the shank 4 is used to cooperate with relevant drilling equipment, thereby facilitating the cooperation between the indexable drill and relevant drilling equipment. The shank 4 can be a general shank, a right-angle shank, or a tone shank, etc.; the chip groove 5 is used for chip removal; since the area of one end of the first indexable insert 1 is larger than the area of the other end of the first indexable insert 1, it is convenient for the first indexable insert 1 to have a first cutting rake angle 7, thereby ensuring that the first indexable insert 1 can cut smoothly. Therefore, when installing the first indexable insert 1, it is only necessary to make the first indexable insert 1 and the axis 9 of the drill body 3 parallel. Since the second indexable insert 2 has several second cutting edges 22 and several third cutting edges 23 at its two ends, the second indexable insert 2 itself cannot have a second cutting rake angle 8. Therefore, by setting a first angle 6 between the axis 9 of the second indexable insert 2 and the drill body 3, the second indexable insert 2 generates a second cutting rake angle 8 through a specific installation method, thereby ensuring that the second indexable insert 2 can perform cutting smoothly. Since the distance between the axis 9 of the first indexable insert 1 and the drill body 3 is smaller than the distance between the axis 9 of the second indexable insert 2 and the drill body 3, it is convenient for the first indexable insert 1 to be used as the inner insert and the second indexable insert 2 to be used as the outer insert.
[0064] Furthermore, the first angle 6 ranges from 5 to 15°.
[0065] Specifically, the first angle 6 can be 5°, 10°, or 15°, etc.
[0066] Furthermore, the connection between the drill bit body 3 and the shank 4 is a one-piece molding connection.
[0067] Specifically, this facilitates increasing the overall integrity of the drill bit body 3 and the shank 4.
[0068] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
