Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a cutting tool for machining involute internal helical teeth, and more particularly to a tooth-removing tool suitable for machining involute internal helical teeth with different helix angles. Background Technology
[0002] Gear cutting tools are currently a hot topic in the field of gear processing. However, gear cutting tools designed and manufactured according to the current gear cutting tool design theory can only process one type of workpiece and lack versatility, which limits the widespread application of gear cutting technology. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that current gear cutting tools lack versatility by providing a gear cutting tool suitable for machining involute internal helical teeth with different helix angles, thus achieving the goal of machining involute internal helical teeth with different helix angles with a single tool.
[0004] The technical solution adopted to achieve the purpose of this invention is:
[0005] A rebar cutting tool suitable for machining involute internal helical teeth with different helix angles, wherein the rebar cutting tool has cutting teeth distributed along its circumference, and each cutting tooth includes a cutting edge, a flank face, and a rake face.
[0006] The cutting edge includes a left cutting edge, a right cutting edge, and a top cutting edge, wherein:
[0007] The left and right cutting edges are the involute profiles on the left and right sides of the cross section of the drum-shaped external spur gear that meshes with the internal helical gear parts; the top cutting edge is an arc that is in the same plane as the left and right cutting edges and is tangent to the left and right cutting edges respectively.
[0008] The flank face is formed by the cutting edge and a series of flank face construction lines; the flank face construction lines are formed by connecting the involute profiles on the left and right sides of the cross section of the drum-shaped external spur gear with successively decreasing diameter and the circular arcs tangent to them.
[0009] The rake face is a free-form surface that can form a cutting rake angle, which is formed by fitting the cutting edge and a series of flank face construction lines.
[0010] In the above technical solution, the front angle is -5 to 20°.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the left and right cutting edges are constructed as follows:
[0012] Construct a drum-shaped external spur gear that meshes with the internal helical gear ring without backlash. Take the mid-section of the drum-shaped external spur gear. This mid-section intersects with the cutter teeth to form the left and right involute profiles. The two involute profiles serve as the left and right cutting edges of the cutter, respectively.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the top cutting edge is constructed by the following method:
[0014] On the plane containing the mid-section of the drum-shaped external spur gear, construct a circular arc tangent to the left and right cutting edges to form the top cutting edge.
[0015] In the above technical solution, the cutting edge is constructed by connecting the left edge, the right edge and the top edge to form the cutting edge.
[0016] In the above technical solution, the flank face is constructed by the following method:
[0017] Reduce the diameter of the drum-shaped external spur gear that meshes with the internal helical gear part, and cut the involute profiles on the left and right sides of the mid-section. Construct a circular arc tangent to the involute profiles on both sides on the same plane. Connect the involute profiles and the circular arcs to form a flank face construction line. Continue to reduce the diameter of the drum-shaped external spur gear in this way to form flank face construction lines arranged sequentially along the tool axis. Fit the cutting edge and all flank face construction lines to form the flank face.
[0018] In the above technical solution, the rake face is constructed by the following method:
[0019] The cutting edge is discretized into a set of cutting points. Based on the cutting principle, a rake face construction line that reflects the rake angle is constructed at each cutting point. The surface is constructed using all the rake face construction lines to form the rake face.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0021] 1. The present invention provides an involute internal helical gear cutting tool applicable to different helix angles. By setting different axial angles between the tool and the workpiece, internal helical gear parts with different helix angles within a certain range can be processed.
[0022] 2. The cutting tool of the present invention has a rake angle on the front face, which can significantly improve cutting conditions and extend tool life. Attached Figure Description

Figure 3 As shown, take the mid-section 12 of the drum-shaped external spur gear B. The mid-section 12 intersects with the cutting tooth 1 to form the left and right involute profiles 13.

[0040] The flank face construction line 8 can be constructed as follows:
[0041] According to the cutting edge 2 construction method, the diameter of the drum-shaped external spur gear B is reduced. The involute profiles 13 on the left and right sides of the mid-section 12 of the drum-shaped external spur gear B are taken. Arcs 14 tangent to the involute profiles 13 are constructed on the same plane of the two involute profiles 13. The two involute profiles 13 and the arcs 14 are connected to form a flank face construction line 8, such as... Figure 4 As shown.
[0042] Following the construction method of the aforementioned single rake face construction line 8, the diameter of the drum-shaped external spur gear B that meshes with the internal helical gear part is successively reduced to construct a series of rake face construction lines S. C2 S C3 S C4 S C5 ……,like Figure 4 As shown.
[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the rake face 4 can be constructed as follows:
[0044] The cutting edge 2 is discretized into several cutting points, and a ray with a rake angle of 9 is drawn at each cutting point as the rake face construction line 10. The angle between the rake face construction line 10 and the base plane 11 is the rake angle 9. A curved surface is constructed using these rake face construction lines 10, and this curved surface is the rake face 4.
