Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-3A type of alloy steel plate drill is configured with a cylindrical thin-walled structure, including a drill body 10, a shank 11, and end cutting edges 16; multiple sets of end cutting edges 16 are uniformly arranged in a circular shape at the end of the drill body 10; the drill body 10 includes an inner hole 17, a chip removal groove 18, and a cutting edge 19; the inner hole 17 is opened at the center of the end of the drill body 10, the chip removal groove 18 is opened between adjacent end cutting edges 16, and the cutting edge 19 is connected and arranged on the outside of the end of each set of end cutting edges 16; The end cutting edge 16 is set as the main cutting edge, and it has three edges according to the diameter. The inner edge 162, the middle edge 161, and the outer edge 160 are respectively set from the inside to the outside along the radial inclined direction of the ejector pin hole 14, forming a multi-stage cutting structure, improving the chip removal effect, and reducing the single-edge cutting force by more than 30%. The inner hole 17 of the cutting edge has a chip removal groove 18 on the outer circle of the cutting edge 16, and the wall thickness of the drill body 10 decreases along the axial direction to form an inverted taper secondary back angle.
[0030] The shank 11 includes a torque transmission structure 12, a positioning surface 13, and a pin hole 14. The torque transmission structure 12 is connected to one end of the drill body 10 away from the end cutting edge 16. Multiple positioning surfaces 13 are provided at equal intervals in a ring on the circumferential side wall of the shank 11. A pin hole 14 is provided in the middle of the shank 11. The handle 11 has a structure with right-angle handle, universal handle, four-hole handle, threaded handle, etc., and adopts a constant handle diameter design within a certain specification range.
[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the inner hole 17 of the cutting part and the ejector pin hole 14 are connected by an internal through hole to form an internal cooling channel. The drill body 10 is made of 42CrMo alloy steel with a hardness ≥40 HRC; The end cutting edge 16 is made of carbide insert with a hardness ≥91HRA, wherein the inner cutting edge angle is 25°±1°, the outer cutting edge angle is 18°±1°, and the end cutting edge rake angle is 5°. The end cutting edge 16 insert extends 10 mm above the drill body: end face ≤ 1.0 mm, side face ≤ 0.5 mm; Chip removal groove 18: helix angle 30°-45°, depth to width ratio 1.5:1; Ejector hole 14: diameter φ6.35 / φ8mm, used for matching ejector pins; Handle 11 structure: right angle handle (φ12-100mm), universal handle / four-hole handle (φ12-60mm).
[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the drill body 10 is machined with an annularly spaced microgroove array 15 to increase the solder penetration area by 30%; Specifically, the microgroove array 15 is 0.2 mm wide, 0.3 mm deep, and 1.5 mm apart; The bottom of the end cutting edge 16 is provided with a pre-set recess to form a mechanical interlocking structure and improve shear strength. It should be noted that the above structures are connected by a gradient heating brazing process followed by slow cooling to prevent cracks from forming in the blade.
[0033] Progressive layered cutting is achieved through a chip-splitting three-stage cutting edge structure: inner edge 162, middle edge 161, and outer edge 160 working together. The inner cutting edge 162 first cuts into the material to form a guide hole, and the middle cutting edge 161 and the outer cutting edge 160 successively expand the hole diameter and break the chips; Synergistic effect: Optimized cutting resistance distribution reduces peak cutting force by more than 30% compared to single-blade structure, solving the chip entanglement problem when drilling thick plates; Meanwhile, the laser microgroove array 15 on the surface of the drill body 10 increases the brazing filler metal wetting area and strengthens the metallurgical bond; The blade has a pre-dimpled pit at the bottom to create a mechanical anchoring effect, resisting shear deformation. With the help of gradient pressure brazing process, the shear strength of the weld is improved, eliminating the risk of blade breakage during mass production.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a high-efficiency and precision manufacturing method for inserting alloy steel plate drills includes the following steps: Step 1: Tool body preparation and pretreatment ① CNC cutting and blanking: Use a fully automatic CNC cutting machine to cut 42CrMo alloy steel bars according to specifications, with a hardness ≥40 HRC and a length tolerance of ±0.2mm; ② Centerless grinding of outer diameter: The M1080 centerless grinder removes 0.2mm of the surface layer, eliminates rolling defects, and achieves a surface roughness Ra≤1.6μm.
[0035] Ensuring the uniformity of material structure lays the foundation for subsequent precision machining.
[0036] Step 2: Machining of internal cooling channels ① Deep hole drilling: Machining the inner hole 17 of the cutting edge and the ejector pin hole 14 on a hexagonal lathe or a high-precision drilling machine; ② Parameter settings: Speed: 200-300 rpm, to avoid vibration; Feed rate: 0.05-0.1 mm / r, to prevent skew; Coaxiality ≤ 0.05mm, used to ensure the straightness of the internal cooling channel; This creates a coolant flow channel, reducing the temperature in the cutting zone.
[0037] Step 3: Milling and shaping (1) Spiral groove milling Clamping method: Double center positioning or guide sleeve assistance to eliminate radial runout; End mill selection: Custom carbide spiral end mill; Parameter control: Helix angle = 35° ± 2°, groove width tolerance ± 0.05 mm, eccentricity e = 3.4 ± 0.1 mm The quality requirement is that the tank wall must be free of tool marks.
[0038] Blade Groove Machining Innovative clamping design: Horizontally placed vertical CNC indexing head + universal rotary milling head tilted at 17°; Pre-control of cutting edge inclination angle: Set to 8°-10° during rough milling to compensate for subsequent grinding wear; Interlocking structure machining: A 0.5mm spherical recess is pre-machined at the bottom of the blade groove of the carbide saw blade end mill.
[0039] Ensuring smooth chip removal provides a structural basis for the mechanical interlocking of the blades.
[0040] Step 4: Surface microstructure enhancement Laser micromachining: Equipment: Fiber laser marking machine Parameters: Pulse width 100ns, power 50W, scan speed 800mm / s Morphology: The drill body surface is machined with a grid of microgrooves, 0.2mm wide × 0.3mm deep × 1.5mm spacing, 15 in number; Increase the brazing area by 30% and improve the capillary penetration depth of the solder.
[0041] Step 5: Strengthening and Toughening Composite Treatment Step-by-step process: ① Pulse ion nitriding: Temperature: 520℃±10℃ Atmospheric pressure: 350 Pa Pulse ratio: ON / OFF Results: A compound layer with a thickness of ≥15μm was formed on the surface, and the hardness was ≥1100. .
[0042] ② Cryogenic treatment: Liquid nitrogen environment -196℃, keep warm for 2 hours → slow cooling to room temperature (≤5℃ / min); Operating mechanism: Transforms retained austenite into martensite, thereby improving wear resistance; Synergistic effect: Fatigue life increased by 200%, and resistance to chipping and breakage is enhanced.
[0043] Step 6: Gradient pressure brazing The process flow is as follows: The cutting tool is preheated at 300°C for 6 hours to eliminate internal stress in the cemented carbide. Then, a stepped heating process is employed, gradually heating the tool body to 600°C for preheating to avoid thermal shock cracking. Finally, it is brazed at 780°C and held for 3 minutes to melt Ag-Cu-Ti + 0.5% nano-Ce. The solder is then subjected to pressure welding, maintaining a constant pressure of 0.5 MPa. After welding, it is subjected to gradient slow cooling, that is, the temperature is gradually reduced to 300°C, and the rate of reduction is controlled at ≤10°C / s. The hard brittle phase is generated, that is, the above brazing can ensure the weld shear strength ≥300 MPa. The gradient pressure brazing process is adopted: internal stress is eliminated by preheating the blade, the temperature is controlled in stages (to avoid hot cracking), and the constant pressure of 0.5MPa is used to completely expel pores, so that the weld is free of sand holes and cracks, and the blade's resistance to falling off is improved compared with traditional high frequency welding.
[0044] Step 7: Precision grinding (1) Grinding the outer diameter of the cutting edge Equipment: High-precision cylindrical grinding machine Grinding wheel: Diamond grinding wheel (P300×127×32 WA80K5V35) Parameters: linear speed 25m / s, grinding depth 0.01-0.02mm / cycle, for preventing burns; (2) Precision grinding of inner hole Taper control: 0.17-0.62mm / 5mm length, forming a secondary rear angle; Clamping: ER spring collet, maintaining radial runout ≤0.005mm; (3) Precision grinding of the cutting edge Equipment: Five-axis CNC tool grinder Control parameters: Inner cutting edge angle: 25°±0.5°; outer cutting edge angle: 18°±0.5° Blade width 0.1mm, runout ≤0.02mm Surface roughness Ra≤0.4μm; The cutting edge is formed in one go through five-axis linkage precision grinding technology, the tolerance of the inner / outer cutting edge angle is controlled within ±0.5°, the cutting edge runout is ≤0.02mm, ensuring micron-level cutting edge consistency and guaranteeing chip separation effect.
[0045] Step 8: Post-processing and verification ① Sandblasting treatment: Coarse spraying: 120 mesh aluminum oxide particles with Ra=3.2μm to remove oxide scale; Fine blasting: 150-180 mesh glass sand to improve surface stress distribution; ② Edge dulling: Equipment: Magnetic grinding machine Medium: SiC + diamond micro powder mixed slurry Result: Edge radius R0.03mm (50% improvement in chipping resistance) ③ Cutting test: Q235 steel plate is used, and its thickness is equal to the drill body diameter × 0.6. Continuous drilling of ≥120 holes, maintaining no chipping on the cutting edge, and hole diameter deviation ≤IT9.
[0046] Meanwhile, the above manufacturing method utilizes microgroove laser processing to precisely construct a grid array with a width of 0.2mm and a depth of 0.3mm, thereby increasing the solder penetration depth and reducing the probability of poor soldering.
[0047] The residual austenite was transformed into wear-resistant martensite by cryogenic treatment (-196℃); By generating a 15μm ultra-hard nitrided layer (1100HV) through pulsed ion nitriding, the product achieves "hard surface and tough interior", and its fatigue life exceeds the industry average.
[0048] All components in this application are made of metal or plastic materials with suitable strength in their respective fields to ensure that their structural rigidity meets actual requirements.
[0049] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
