[0038] A first aspect of the present application discloses a indexable cutting insert 100, in some embodiments, in combination with Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the indexable cutting insert 100 comprises a front surface 110, a rear surface 120 and a peripheral side surface 130, the peripheral side surface 130 is disposed between the front surface 110 and the rear surface 120 and extends along a circumferential direction of the indexable cutting insert 100, a cutting edge 140 is formed between the peripheral side surface 130 and the front surface 110, the cutting edge 140 comprises a first cutting edge 141 and a second cutting edge 142, the second cutting edge 142 is disposed at a corner 160 of the indexable cutting insert 100, the first cutting edge 141 is disposed between two adjacent second cutting edges 142;

[0039] The front surface 110 comprises a reference plane 115, a first rake surface 111 and a second rake surface 112; the reference plane 115 is disposed within a profile range of the cutting edge 140; the first rake surface 111 is disposed between the cutting edge 140 and the reference plane 115, and the first rake surface 111 extends from an inner side of the second cutting edge 142 towards an inner side of the first cutting edge 141 at two ends of the second cutting edge 142, a plurality of first rake surfaces 111 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the indexable cutting insert 100, the first rake surface 111 is disposed obliquely from an outer edge thereof towards the reference plane 115 and towards the rear surface 120, with reference to a reference plane passing through a center line 151 of the indexable cutting insert, a straight line segment formed by the intersection of the first rake surface 111 and the reference plane forms a first included angle a1 with the reference plane 115; the second rake surface 112 is disposed between the cutting edge 140 and the reference plane 115, and the second rake surface 112 is disposed at an inner side of the first cutting edge 141 to separate two adjacent first rake surfaces 111, the second rake surface 112 is disposed obliquely from an outer edge thereof towards the reference plane 115 and towards the rear surface 120, the second rake surface 112 is a plane and forms a second included angle a2 with the reference plane 115, the second included angle a2 is smaller than the first included angle a1.

[0040] Specifically, the indexable cutting insert 100 is generally in a cubic structure, of course, other three-dimensional structures are also possible, one end surface of the indexable cutting insert 100 constitutes the front surface 110, the other opposite end surface constitutes the rear surface 120, and the surface of the indexable cutting insert 100 between the front surface 110 and the rear surface 120 constitutes the peripheral side surface 130, the peripheral side surface 130 extends along the circumferential direction of the indexable cutting insert 100, thus the cutting edge 140 can be formed between the peripheral side surface 130 and the front surface 110, and generally the blade width band 116 is also provided between the cutting edge 140 and the front surface 110. It can be understood that the indexable cutting insert 100 has a fastening hole 150, the fastening hole 150 penetrates from the front surface 110 to the rear surface 120, the fastening hole 150 is used for the fastener (such as a screw 220) to pass through so as to fix the indexable cutting insert 100 to a predetermined position (such as a mounting seat 210 mentioned below).

[0041] The cutting edges 140 include first cutting edges 141 and second cutting edges 142, the second cutting edges 142 are arranged at the corners 160 of the indexable cutting insert 100, and the first cutting edges 141 are arranged between two adjacent second cutting edges 142. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the indexable cutting insert 100 has four corners 160, which can be in the form of a circular arc or a straight line. The cutting edges 140 formed between the front surface 110 and the peripheral surface 130 include four second cutting edges 142 and four first cutting edges 141. The second cutting edges 142 are arranged at the corners 160 of the indexable cutting insert 100, and the first cutting edges 141 are arranged between two adjacent second cutting edges 142.

[0042] The front surface 110 includes a reference plane 115, a first rake surface 111 and a second rake surface 112. The reference plane 115 is arranged within the profile of the cutting edges 140. When viewed from above, the cutting edges 140 surround the reference plane 115 and are arranged alternately with the reference plane 115. The first rake surface 111 and the second rake surface 112 are arranged between the cutting edges 140 and the reference plane 115, respectively.

[0043] The first rake surface 111 extends from the inner side of the second cutting edge 142 to the inner side of the first cutting edge 141 at both ends of the second cutting edge 142. In this way, part of the first rake surface 111 is located on the inner side of the second cutting edge 142, and the other part is located on the inner side of the first cutting edge 141. A plurality of first rake surfaces 111 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the indexable cutting insert 100. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the indexable cutting insert 100 has four corners 160, and therefore has four first rake surfaces 111. The second rake surface 112 is arranged on the inner side of the first cutting edge 141 and separates two adjacent first rake surfaces 111, i.e. along the circumferential direction of the indexable cutting insert 100, two adjacent first rake surfaces 111 are separated by the second rake surface 112, which is equivalent to the second rake surface 112 dividing different functional areas, so as to cope with complex working environments and improve applicability. It can be understood that the position relatively close to the center line 151 (the center line 151 is the central axis of the fastening hole 150) of the indexable cutting insert 100 is regarded as the inner side, and the position relatively far away from the center line 151 of the indexable cutting insert 100 is regarded as the outer side.

[0044] Further, the first rake surface 111 is arranged to be inclined from its outer edge towards the reference plane 115 and the rear surface 120, for example, the first rake surface 111 and the land 116 meet, and the land 116 is arranged to be inclined from the land 116 towards the reference plane 115 and the rear surface 120, with reference to the center line 151 of the indexable cutting insert as a reference plane (i.e. the center line 151 is located in the reference plane), the straight line segment formed by the intersection of the first rake surface 111 and the reference plane and the reference plane 115 forms a first included angle a1. The second rake surface 112 is arranged to be inclined from its outer edge towards the reference plane 115 and the rear surface 120, for example, the second rake surface 112 and the land 116 meet, and the land 116 is arranged to be inclined from the land 116 towards the reference plane 115 and the rear surface 120, the second rake surface 112 is a plane and forms a second included angle a2 with the reference plane 115, the second included angle a2 is smaller than the first included angle a1.

[0045] The first rake surface 111 is arranged to be inclined from its outer edge towards the reference plane 115 and the rear surface 120, and the second rake surface 112 is arranged to be inclined from its outer edge towards the reference plane 115 and the rear surface 120, i.e. the first included angle a1 and the second included angle a2 are respectively smaller than 90°, in this embodiment, the second included angle a2 is smaller than the first included angle a1, so that the first rake surface 111 with large rake angle region works in small cutting depth and large feed, to ensure sharpness and surface quality, and the second rake surface 112 with small rake angle region works in large cutting depth, to provide sufficient cutting edge strength and impact resistance, which greatly expands the applicable machining range of the indexable cutting insert 100. It can be understood that the reference plane can be at any position around the center line 151 of the indexable cutting insert, so as to intersect with the first rake surface 111 at any position to form the first included angle a1.

[0046] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is shown that the interface boundary between the first rake surface 111 and the second rake surface 112 forms an arc structure. In this embodiment, the arc structure includes but is not limited to an arc line and an arc surface, for example, the arc structure is formed as an arc line when viewed from the front surface 110. Through the arrangement of the arc structure, the interface boundary between the first rake surface 111 and the second rake surface 112 can provide a gradual buffer zone, which can cope with complex machining environment and ensure stable machining performance, and also can make the chip begin to curl along the second rake surface 112 in the process from the first rake surface 111 to the second rake surface 112, to avoid the problems of concentrated cutting and too small curling angle.

[0047] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the inner edge of the second rake face 112 is concave away from the center line 151 of the indexable cutting insert 100.

[0048] In the present embodiment, the inner edge of the second rake face 112 is concave away from the center line 151 of the indexable cutting insert 100, so that when the indexable cutting insert 100 is working at a large cutting depth, the chip enters the second rake face 112 with high load resistance, which can avoid excessive contact area and prevent the cutting heat from concentrating on the indexable cutting insert 100 to cause thermal damage, thereby helping to prolong the service life of the indexable cutting insert 100.

[0049] In some embodiments, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first included angle α1 gradually increases in the direction from the second cutting edge 142 to the first cutting edge 141.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the gradual change of the first included angle α1 can make the indexable cutting insert 100 have a sharp rake angle in the cutting mode of small cutting depth and large feed, which can guarantee the processing efficiency while taking into account the surface quality of the processing, and the arrangement of the rake angle corresponding to the first rake face 111 is more reasonable, which can avoid the tool damage caused by the excessive angle of part of the rake angle (near the corner 160) and improve the service life of the tool.

[0051] In some embodiments, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first included angle α1 is less than 30°. It can be understood that the first included angle α1 can be any value within the range of less than 30°, for example, the first included angle α1 can be but not limited to 25°, 20°, 15°, etc. By satisfying the allowable range of the first included angle α1, the finishing performance is further optimized.

[0052] In some embodiments, in combination with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second included angle α2 is not greater than 5°. It can be understood that the second included angle α2 can be any value within the range of not greater than 5°, for example, the second included angle α2 can be but not limited to 5°, 4°, 3°, 2°, etc. By satisfying the allowable range of the second included angle α2, the second rake face 112 has a small-angle rake angle, which improves the strength and cutting resistance of the indexable cutting insert 100, and guarantees a higher service life and applicability in a large cutting depth and harsh processing environment.

[0053] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first cutting edge 141 has an extension length L1, and the second rake surface 112 has a length L2 along the extension direction of the first cutting edge 141, and 1 / 2≤L2 / L1≤3 / 4 is satisfied. It can be understood that the ratio of L2 and L1 can be any value in the range of 1 / 2 to 3 / 4, for example, L2 / L1 can be, but is not limited to, 1 / 2, 2 / 3, 3 / 4, etc. By controlling the ratio of L2 and L1 within the above-mentioned allowable range, the stability of the performance of the indexable cutting insert 100 in general working conditions and harsh environments can be controlled, and the performance of the indexable cutting insert 100 during the working condition switching process can be effectively guaranteed based on the setting of the joint boundary of the first rake surface 111 and the second rake surface 112.

[0054] In some embodiments, in combination with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the front surface 110 further includes a third rake surface 113 disposed between the second rake surface 112 and the reference plane 115, and the second rake surface 112 is higher than the third rake surface 113 relative to the reference plane 115 in the height direction defined by the direction from the rear surface 120 to the front surface 110; the third rake surface 113 is inclinedly disposed from the outer edge thereof toward the reference plane 115 and toward the rear surface 120, the third rake surface 113 is a plane and forms a third included angle a3 with the reference plane 115, and the third included angle a3 is greater than the second included angle a2.

[0055] In the present embodiment, the second rake surface 112 and the third rake surface 113 are circularly arc transitioned, and the third rake surface 113 and the reference plane 115 are circularly arc transitioned. When the indexable cutting insert 100 is used for cutting, the cutting passes through the second rake surface 112, the cutting resistance is large, and the cutting load is high, and the chip flows to the third rake surface 113 with a large angle after passing through the second rake surface 112 with a small angle, so that a large amount of load can be released.

[0056] Optionally, the third included angle a3 is not greater than 35°. It can be understood that the third included angle a3 can be any value in the range of not greater than 35°, for example, the third included angle a3 can be, but is not limited to, 35°, 30°, 25°, 20°, 15°, etc. By satisfying the third included angle a3 in the above-mentioned allowable range, the load release is further enhanced. Moreover, by limiting the third included angle a3, not only the third rake surface 113 can smoothly break the cutting, effectively avoiding the entanglement and accumulation of the cutting, but also a "thermal isolation zone" can be established between the indexable cutting insert 100 and the cutting, so that the transmission of cutting heat to the indexable cutting insert 100 is greatly reduced.

[0057] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the maximum width of the second rake surface 112 along the front surface 110 in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the first cutting edge 141 is W1, and the distance between the middle position of the third rake surface 113 along the extension direction of the first cutting edge 141 and the first cutting edge 141 is W2, which satisfies 1 / 4≤W2 / W1≤3 / 4.

[0058] It can be understood that the ratio of W2 / W1 can be any value in the range of 1 / 4 to 3 / 4, for example, W2 / W1 can be but is not limited to 1 / 4, 1 / 2, 3 / 4, etc. Since the second rake surface 112 has high strength and high cutting resistance, and the cutting heat generated by the second rake surface 112 is high relative to other rake surfaces, by optimizing the ratio of W2 / W1, the contact area and time between the workpiece and the indexable cutting insert 100 in the area where the cutting heat is most concentrated can be controlled, so that the cutting heat is directly taken away by the chip, and the temperature is prevented from being too high to be transferred to the indexable cutting insert 100.

[0059] In some embodiments, in combination with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the front surface 110 further comprises a fourth rake surface 114 disposed between the first rake surface 111 and the reference plane 115. The fourth rake surface 114 is inclined from the outer edge thereof toward the reference plane 115 and toward the rear surface 120. The straight line segment formed by the intersection of the fourth rake surface 114 and the reference plane 115 and the reference plane 115 forms a fourth included angle a4. The fourth included angle a4 is greater than the first included angle a1. In this way, the cutting heat generated during cutting can be reduced and transferred to the indexable cutting insert 100. The first rake surface 111 can be arc transitioned with the fourth rake surface 114, and the fourth rake surface 114 can be arc transitioned with the reference plane 115.

[0060] Optionally, the fourth included angle a4 is greater than 45°. It can be understood that the fourth included angle a4 can be any value in the range of greater than 45°, for example, the fourth included angle a4 can be but is not limited to 50°, 55°, 60°, etc. By satisfying the allowable range of the fourth included angle a4, the cutting process is concentrated on the first rake surface 111, the cutting heat generated is effectively reduced and transferred to the indexable cutting insert 100, and thermal damage to the indexable cutting insert 100 is avoided.

[0061] At the same time, by optimizing the combination of the angles of the first rake surface 111, the second rake surface 112, the third rake surface 113, and the fourth rake surface 114, stress concentration is avoided, plastic deformation, chipping, and thermal cracks of the indexable cutting insert 100 are fundamentally inhibited, and the service life of the indexable cutting insert 100 is multiplied.

[0062] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the first cutting edge 141 is symmetrically arc-shaped, and the height direction is defined as the direction from the rear surface 120 to the front surface 110. The heights of the two ends of the first cutting edge 141 are greater than the height of the center thereof. In this way, a positive rake angle is provided, which reduces the cutting force and makes the cutting applicable to a wider range and more applicable.

[0063] A second aspect of the present application discloses a cutting tool, in some embodiments, in combination with Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cutting tool comprises a tool body 200 and the indexable cutting insert 100 described above.

[0064] The indexable cutting insert 100 comprises a front surface 110, a rear surface 120, and a peripheral side surface 130 arranged between the front surface 110 and the rear surface 120 and extending along the circumferential direction of the indexable cutting insert 100.
