Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts processing equipment, in particular to a drilling and milling cutter for high-efficiency tapered hole processing. Background Art

[0002] The steering knuckle of an automotive component, commonly known as the "ram's horn", requires a high-precision tapered hole to be drilled on the workpiece. The tapered hole accuracy and the smoothness inside the hole are high, and the coaxiality requirements are also high. The current industry solution is a standard twist drill for rough drilling, a tapered milling cutter for hole expansion, and a tapered reamer to complete the final tapered hole processing. A total of three tools are required to complete the process. However, the tool cost of the above operation method is high, and the tool change frequency is high, resulting in a decrease in processing efficiency. In addition, since multiple tools are used for processing, the error amount generated by each tool processing is superimposed and accumulated, resulting in a decrease in the hole accuracy of the tapered hole, and the coaxiality of the hole is deteriorated. Therefore, an efficient drill and milling cutter for tapered hole processing is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a drilling and milling cutter for high-efficiency tapered hole processing, comprising a shank 4 for support, and a tip 1 is arranged at the front of the shank 4.

[0024] A main cutting edge 11, the main cutting edge 11 is arranged at the bottom of the top 1, and there are two groups of main cutting edges 11, and both groups of main cutting edges 11 are provided with a chip removal groove 2 with a right-handed spiral angle of 30°;

[0025] The blade back 5 is arranged at the front of the shank 4 near the main cutting edge 11, and the blade back 5 and the radial outer edge of the front cutting surface of the chip removal groove 2 form a secondary cutting edge 10;

[0026] The milling cutter blade 6 is arranged at the rear of the shank 4, and the outer peripheral edge back of the milling cutter blade 6 is provided with equidistant and axially arranged inwardly concave chip dividing grooves 3.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the tip 1 is set at 140 degrees, and the radial direction of the tip 1 is provided with a first back tool face 7 and a second back tool face 8, respectively, and the first back tool face 7 is located on the outside of the second back tool face 8. The tip 1 is set at 140 degrees, which can effectively improve the accuracy and stability when drilling and positioning the automobile steering knuckle. The first back tool face 7 and the second back tool face 8 can reduce cutting friction, provide protection for the main cutting edge 11, and improve the service life of the tool.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the main cutting edge 11 is arranged at the acute angle structure formed by the axial front cutting surface of the chip groove 2 and the back cutting surface of the tip 1. The main cutting edge 11 can undertake the main cutting task of the steering knuckle, cut off the chips on the upper part of the steering knuckle, and form a processing contour on the workpiece surface to improve the processing efficiency.

[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the cutting edge of the secondary cutting edge 10 is provided with a cutting band along the spiral direction, and the width of the cutting band is 0.05 times the diameter of the secondary cutting edge 10. When the cutting band contacts the workpiece surface, the radial runout error of the tool can be reduced, thereby improving the machining accuracy and surface quality of the workpiece.

[0032] Working principle: Before use, the user can limit the drill and milling cutter through the handle 4 to the cutter disc inside the machining center, which is convenient for subsequent rapid positioning and connection of the drill and milling cutter. When drilling and milling tapered holes on the automobile steering knuckle, the machining center can drive the cutter disc to rotate at high speed. At this time, the handle 4 can first be positioned to the upper part of the workpiece through the top 1 at the bottom, and then the main cutting edge 11 together with the rear 12 can quickly drill the inside of the workpiece. The debris generated by the drilling is discharged to the outside through the chip groove 2. At this time, the cylindrical hole is punched, and the machining center continues to drive the handle 4 to move downward at a uniform speed. At this time, the milling cutter blade 6 with a conical outer periphery can gradually expand the cavity on the upper part of the cylindrical hole, so that the cylindrical hole on the automobile steering knuckle forms a tapered hole, completing the drilling operation.
