Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a thread milling cutter structure which is used for internal thread thread cutting. The blade body of the blade does not interfere with and rub against the tooth groove surface, the blade can be easily replaced when worn, and the handle can be reused. Background Art

[0002] After heat treatment, steel workpieces become hard. If you want to open internal thread holes on hard workpieces after heat treatment, you can use an end mill to drill holes on the workpiece first, but it is difficult to directly use a screw tap to tap the drilled holes. The general practice is to use electrical discharge machining to discharge tap the drilled holes, but electrical discharge tapping is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the processing cost is very high, so you can only use a milling cutter to drill and tap the holes. Although tapping with a milling cutter helps improve the tapping processing efficiency, there is still a problem of excessive tool wear rate.

[0003] Conventional milling cutters are usually made of tungsten steel alloy rods. Due to the hardness of the rods, the processing methods for forming them are greatly limited, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The conventional thread milling cutter 10 shown in the figure has a blade working end 12 integrally formed at one end of a handle 11. The blade working end 12 has a plurality of blade portions 13 arranged in a ring around the axis of the handle 11. Each blade portion 13 is composed of a plurality of blade bodies 14 arranged in parallel from bottom to top according to the pitch specification of the threaded thread. Each blade body 14 has a V-shaped cross section and a blade back strip 140 horizontally surrounding the axis of the handle as the center, and the two ends of the blade back strip 140 each have a V-shaped blade surface 141 corresponding to the horizontal direction; as shown in FIG. Figure 4 When a conventional milling cutter 10 is mounted on a rotary chuck of a milling machine and used to process an internal thread 30 on a bore 21 of a hard material workpiece 20, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 , 6 Since the horizontal arc body of the blade back strip 140 horizontally surrounded by the blade body 14 and the spiral line 31 of the cut internal thread tooth 30 have an interference angle α, an interference point 32 is formed, and the horizontal arc body curve surface of the blade back strip 140 is too close to the groove surface of the internal thread tooth 30, and a large range of friction contact surface 32 is formed. Therefore, when the conventional milling cutter 10 is used for tapping, in addition to a large power loss, the blade body 14 and the screw groove are excessively frictional and easy to wear too quickly. Obviously, it is difficult to overcome the problem of excessive tool wear rate, such as Figure 1 In particular, the blade 13 of the conventional milling cutter 10 is made of high-priced steel together with the handle 11. As long as the blade body 14 is worn, the entire tool needs to be discarded. This is another major reason for the high tool cost in the tapping process of hard workpieces. Utility Model Content
