Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of end mill design technology, specifically to a parametric design method for end mills with a tangent circular arc as the generatrix of the end rotation surface. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the development of the mold manufacturing industry, the demand for milling cutters for mold finishing is constantly increasing. Currently, mold finishing processes are mostly completed using ball end mills and ring end mills. The end face of a ball end mill is spherical, and the selection of the ball end radius needs to be considered during design. An excessively large ball end radius may reduce machining quality, while an excessively small ball end radius may limit tool strength, machining efficiency, and tool life. Ring end mills, due to the limitations of their end shape, are not suitable for finishing complex curved surfaces, and may be unable to reduce residual height due to tool limitations, thus affecting machining accuracy and surface quality.

[0031] Example:

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a parametric design method for a milling cutter with a tangent circular arc as the generatrix of the end rotation surface;

[0033] The design focuses on the generatrix radius r1 of the annular surface 2 and the generatrix radius r2 of the bottom spherical surface 3 of the tool 4. The technical solution implemented is as follows:

[0034] Step 1: Define the geometric parameters of the tool's 4-plane of revolution:

[0035] Define the radius of the tool 4, that is, the radius of the tool holder, as R. In this implementation, R = 5mm.

[0036] Define the axial length of the cutting edge at the end of the tool as D, and in this implementation, D = 4mm;

[0037] Define the central angle of the generatrix arc of the torus as θ1, and in this implementation, take θ1 = 60°;

[0038] Step 2: Construct the coordinate system and parametric structural model of the tool's four end faces of revolution:

[0039] With the tool's 4-axis rotation as the Z-axis, the O-axis is defined. e On the Z-axis, O r On the X-axis, the central angle of the generatrix of the annular revolution surface is θ1, and the central angle of the generatrix of the bottom spherical surface 3 is θ2. θ2 and θ1 satisfy the formula θ1+θ2=π / 2.

[0040] With the center of the intersection of circumference 1 and ring 2 as the origin O of the coordinate system m Establish the tool's rectangular coordinate system O m -XYZ, with the tool's rotation axis as the Z-axis, the endpoint of the bottom spherical generatrix as the tool tip, and the vertical upward direction along the tool tip as the Z-axis direction. The starting position of the peripheral cutting edge is the X-axis direction, and the Y-axis direction follows the right-hand rule, limiting O. e On the Z-axis, O r On the X-axis;

[0041] Let the radius of the arc of the generatrix of the torus be r1, and the radius of the arc of the generatrix of the bottom sphere be r2. In the XOZ plane, with the point (R-r1, 0) as the center, r1 as the radius, θ1 as the central angle, and (R, 0) as the starting point, construct the arc of the generatrix Arc of the torus. r With point (0, (R-r1)cotθ1) as the center, (R-r1)secθ1+r1 as the radius, θ2 as the central angle, and (R-r1+r1cosθ1, -r1sinθ1) as the starting point, construct the bottom generatrix arc Arc. e ;

[0042] Step 3: Construct the relationship between the four tool parameters based on geometric relationships:

[0043] Let (R-r1+r1 cosθ1, -r1 sinθ1) be point A, and let r2 = (R-r1)secθ1+r1. Then the axial length D of the end of the tool 4 is D = r2-O. e O m ,Right now

[0044] D=r2-(r2-r1)sinθ1 (1)

[0045] Step 4: Express the two arcs as expressions for R, D, and θ1:

[0046] From the geometric relationship in step three, the radius r1 of the generatrix of the annular arc and the radius r2 of the generatrix of the bottom spherical arc can be obtained, as follows:

[0047]

[0048]

[0049] Substituting R = 5mm, D = 4mm, and θ1 = 60° into the above formula, we can obtain r1 = 3.6mm and r2 = 6.4mm.

[0066] Combining the above formulas (1-7), we can obtain the relationship between r1, r2, θ1, R, and D, which is the parametric model of the end face of revolution. To achieve applicability for surface machining, the values ​​of r1 and r2 can be changed simply by adjusting the four tool parameters θ1, R, and D.
