Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a drill bit used for drilling holes in mechanical processing, in particular to a step drill used for drilling composite material mechanical parts, belonging to the technical field of drilling tools. Background Art

[0002] Composite materials are two-phase or multi-phase structural materials made by mixing a soft and viscous matrix material with a high-strength and high-hardness fiber-reinforced material. Their anisotropy, low thermal conductivity, and low interlayer bonding strength make them typical difficult-to-process materials. For example, carbon fiber reinforced composite materials (CFRP), as an advanced composite material, have excellent comprehensive properties such as high specific strength, high specific stiffness, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and excellent designability. They have been widely used in aerospace, automotive and other fields, such as the Airbus A350XWB. The extensive use of composite materials has greatly reduced the weight of aircraft structures and improved the fuel economy of aircraft. However, in order to achieve the connection and assembly of composite parts, a series of mechanical processing is required, and drilling is one of the most labor-intensive mechanical processing. Since composite materials show obvious anisotropy and stacking characteristics in the macroscopic view, their interlayer bonding strength is much lower than that in other directions. When drilling, due to the weak constraints of the entrance and exit positions, the drill tip is very likely to generate a large axial force, push open the outermost layers of materials, and cause delamination damage. The fiber bending caused by the inability to cut the fiber leads to tearing and burr damage. For this reason, researchers at home and abroad have developed a variety of drilling tools with different structural geometric forms. Among them, the step drill solves the technical problems of easy delamination of composite materials during drilling, and completes the entire processing process in one go, while achieving good hole surface quality. However, the step drill has the following two disadvantages in the process of drilling composite parts: (1) There is often a large amount of powdery chips accumulated in the drilling hole area, which reduces the hole-making accuracy on the one hand, and increases the friction resistance of the drill bit during cutting on the other hand, reducing the hole-making efficiency; (2) When the step drill is rotating and cutting, the powdery chips are scattered into the air, which not only causes damage to the human body, but also pollutes the surrounding environment. Summary of the invention
