Abstract

This invention provides a design for an unequal-gradient helical end mill based on the elastic deformation law of a uniformly distributed load on a workpiece, relating to the field of end mill technology. The design includes the following steps: first, obtaining the elastic deformation law of the workpiece during the cutting process; second, obtaining the mapping relationship between the helical angle variation law of each cutting edge and the elastic deformation law of the workpiece; and finally, obtaining the unequal-gradient cutting edge development line based on the workpiece deformation law mapping relationship. In designing the unequal-gradient helical end mill, since the cutting force generated by the tool during the cutting process exists throughout the entire cutting depth range, simplifying it to a concentrated force would lead to significant deviations in the calculation results. Therefore, this invention assumes that the cutting force is a uniformly distributed load within the cutting depth range. By fully considering the actual elastic deformation law of the workpiece and mapping this deformation law onto the cutting edge of the unequal-gradient helical end mill, the elastic deformation of the workpiece during milling is effectively compensated, deformation errors are reduced, and thus the machining accuracy of the parts is improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of end mill technology, and more specifically to a design method for unequal gradually varying spiral end mills based on the elastic deformation law of uniformly distributed load on the workpiece. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, during milling of titanium alloy parts, the parts themselves have relatively low rigidity, and the uneven distribution of milling forces during machining can easily cause vibrations in the tooling system, thus affecting the machining accuracy and, in severe cases, impacting the service performance of the parts. Therefore, effectively reducing the vibration of the tooling system during milling is of great significance to the machining accuracy of the parts.

[0003] Currently, although there is a "geometry-condition" precise matching design method using unequal gradient helical end mills, and although the tool designed by this method can optimize the cutting force distribution during the cutting process based on the elastic deformation characteristics of the part, effectively reducing the vibration of the tool system during milling, this method mainly considers the influence of concentrated forces. Since the cutting force generated by the tool during the cutting process exists throughout the entire cutting depth range, simplifying it to a concentrated force will lead to a large deviation in the calculation results.

[0004] In summary, to address the above problems, this invention proposes a design method for unequal gradually varying spiral end mills based on the elastic deformation law of uniformly distributed load on the workpiece. This design method assumes that the cutting force is a uniformly distributed load within the cutting depth range, which not only solves the problem of large deviations in results caused by the simplified concentrated force, but also effectively reduces the vibration of the tooling system during cutting and improves the machining accuracy of parts, thus having significant practical research value.
