[0022] The following is the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 6 , describing the end-tooth staggered-tooth milling cutter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the end-tooth staggered-tooth milling cutter includes a tool handle 10 and a tool head 20; wherein the tool handle 10 is used for clamping the tool; and the tool head 20 is arranged at one end of the tool handle 10 and is used to complete the milling process of the material.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The cutter head 20 is provided with an end blade 21 and a peripheral blade 23, wherein the end blade 21 is provided at one end of the cutter head 20 away from the cutter handle 10, and the peripheral blade 23 is provided on the peripheral side surface of the cutter head 20, and the peripheral blade 23 extends in a spiral direction, the end blade 21 and the peripheral blade 23 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, and the end of the end blade 21 away from the center of the cutter head 20 is connected to the end of the peripheral blade 23 away from the cutter handle 10 to form a blade tip.

[0025] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the end edge 21 includes two types according to different extension directions. For the convenience of description below, the two end edges 21 are defined as a first end edge 211 and a second end edge 212, wherein the radial rake angle α1 of the first end edge 211 is a negative value, the radial rake angle α2 of the second end edge 212 is a positive value, and the first end edge 211 and the second end edge 212 are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction of the cutter head 20.

[0026] It should be understood that referring to Figure 4 By arranging the two end edges 21 with positive radial rake angles and negative radial rake angles alternately in the circumferential direction, it is possible to achieve two different cutting shearing movements from right to left and from left to right in the feed direction of the tool (for example Figure 4 The first end edge synthetic cutting path S1 and the second end edge synthetic cutting path S2 shown in the figure enable the carbon fiber material to be cut off in time, thereby reducing the pulling force on the machined surface, thereby reducing the delamination phenomenon on the workpiece surface, and improving the machined surface quality.

[0027] It is understood that in some of these embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 3 A spiral groove 24 is formed between adjacent peripheral edges 23, and a chip groove 22 is provided between adjacent end edges 21, and the chip groove 22 is connected to the spiral groove 24; the chip groove 22 can accommodate the chips generated during the cutting process of the end edge 21, and guide the chips to the spiral groove 24 for discharge. It should be understood that in one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 3 The chip groove 22 and the spiral groove 24 are both designed to be arc grooves to reduce the concentration of structural stress and the risk of tearing at stress points.

[0028] It is understood that in one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 A cutting edge 221 is formed at one end of the chip groove 22 away from the spiral groove 24, so that the chips generated during the machining process of the end edge 21 can be further cut off by the cutting edge 221, thereby alleviating the chip entanglement problem and further improving the machining quality.

[0029] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the ends of the chip grooves 22 away from the spiral grooves 24 are connected to each other to increase the fluidity of the chips and further increase the chip space. Figures 1 to 3, along the rotation direction of the tool, the chip grooves 22 adjacent to the second end edge 212 and located in front of the second end edge 212 are opposite and connected in the radial direction of the tool; while the chip grooves 22 adjacent to the first end edge 211 and located in front of the first end edge 211 are staggered from each other in the radial direction of the tool; and the chip groove 22 adjacent to the first end edge 211 and located in front of the first end edge 211, one end close to the center axis of the tool, is connected to the chip groove 22 adjacent to the second end edge 212 and located in front of the second end edge 212, so that each chip groove 22 can be connected to each other.

[0030] It is understandable that in some embodiments, the end of the first end edge 211 close to the central axis of the cutter head 20 is provided with a chamfer to reduce the risk of breakage of the end of the first end edge 211 close to the central axis of the cutter head 20 during the cutting process.

[0031] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the radial rake angle α1 of the first end edge 211 is between -8° and -12°, and the radial rake angle α2 of the second end edge 212 is between 5° and 9°. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, four end edges 21 are provided on the cutter head 20, of which two opposite and symmetrical end edges 21 have a radial rake angle of -10°, that is, two first end edges 211 have a radial rake angle α1 of -10°, and the other two opposite and symmetrical end edges 21 have a radial rake angle of 7°, that is, two second end edges 212 have a radial rake angle α2 of 7°.

[0032] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the axial rake angle of the end edge 21 is between 13° and 17°, so as to provide sufficient axial cutting force for the end teeth and enable the chips to flow to the chip groove 22, thereby improving the chip removal effect; for example, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, specifically, the axial rake angle ɵ1 of the first end edge 211 and the axial rake angle ɵ2 of the second end edge 212 are both 15°.

[0033] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the first end edge 211 and the second end edge 212 both have a first back angle and a second back angle, so that they both have good air avoidance performance during milling; wherein, the first end edge 211 a back angle β1 and the second end edge 212 a back angle β2 are both between 10° and 14°, so that the end teeth have sufficient strength while also being able to reduce the friction between the back surface of the end edge 21 and the carbon fiber composite material, thereby reducing the generation of cutting heat and inhibiting thermal deformation of the resin. For example, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6In one embodiment, specifically, a back angle β1 of the first end edge 211 and a back angle β2 of the second end edge 212 are both 12°.

[0034] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the clearance angle γ1 of the first end edge 211 is between 26° and 30°, and the clearance angle γ2 of the second end edge 212 is between 43° and 47°. By setting the clearance angle γ2 of the second end edge 212 to be greater than the clearance angle γ1 of the first end edge 211, the problem of inconsistency of clearance amount of the two end edges 21 caused by different radial rake angles can be alleviated. For example, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The two clearance angles γ1 of the first end edge 211 are 28°, and the two clearance angles γ2 of the first end edge 211 are 45°.

[0035] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the core diameter ratio is between 53% and 57%, and the helix angle of the peripheral edge 23 and the spiral groove 24 is between 18° and 22°, so as to use a smaller spiral to ensure the strength of the end edge 21 and the peripheral edge 23. For example, in one embodiment, the core diameter ratio is 55%, and the helix angle of the peripheral edge 23 and the spiral groove 24 is 20°.

[0036] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the first end edge 211 and the second end edge 212 both have a taper angle of 5°, and are used to machine a 5° chamfer on the carbon fiber composite material.
