Description

[0002] In the field of metal cutting, the requirements for parts processing accuracy are getting higher and higher. The existing milling inserts have some significant deficiencies during processing, which affect the processing efficiency and quality. Mainly including:
[0003] 1. The chip breaking effect is poor. In the existing design, the chip is often broken by the chip breaker groove. However, if there is no other structural design, the curling radius of the chip in the chip breaker groove is often relatively large, which makes the chip difficult to break, thereby forming long and continuous chips during the processing. These long chips are not only difficult to remove, but may also be entangled on the workpiece or the tool, affecting the normal processing operation, especially when the main cutting edge is relatively long, chips with a large curling radius are easily formed at the top angle.
[0004] Second, due to the large chip curling radius, the contact area with the front cutting edge is larger during the cutting process, resulting in a longer contact time, and the cutting heat generated is easily transferred to the front cutting edge through the chip.
[0005] 3. High temperature not only accelerates the wear of the blade material, but also reduces the hardness and strength of the blade, thus significantly shortening the service life of the blade. Operators need to frequently replace blades and clean chips, further affecting production efficiency and costs.
[0006] 4. The cutting strength of the milling insert will be weakened by the design of chip breaking by the chip breaker groove. Utility Model Content

[0034] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the utility model and implement it according to the contents of the specification, the specific implementation methods of the utility model are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the utility model but are not used to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0035] like Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the utility model provides a milling blade, including a blade body 2 with a screw hole 1 in the center, the blade body 2 is surrounded by an upper top surface 3, a lower bottom surface 4, two groups of back cutting surfaces 5 connected to the upper top surface 3 and the lower bottom surface 4, and two groups of side surfaces 6. The shape of the milling blade is a quadrangular pyramid structure, and the area of the lower bottom surface 4 is smaller than the area of the upper top surface 3, and the upper top surface 3 is approximately a parallelogram in a top view.
[0036] The upper top surface 3 includes a mounting surface 31 and a rake face 32, wherein the rake face 32 and the flank face 5 extend and intersect to form a main cutting edge 7, and the main cutting edge 7 is located on the longer side of the milling insert; the rake face 32 and the side surface 6 extend and intersect to form a wiper edge 8 and a secondary cutting edge 9, and a first transition edge 10 is provided at the tip between the main cutting edge 7 and the wiper edge 8, and the first transition edge 10 is transitionally connected to the main cutting edge 7 and the wiper edge 8 respectively; a second transition edge 11 is provided at one end of the main cutting edge 7 away from the first transition edge 10, and the second transition edge 11 is transitionally connected to another secondary cutting edge 9 on a different side, and the first transition edge 10 and the second transition edge 11 are both arc-shaped.
[0037] The main cutting edge 7 is used to perform the main cutting work; the finishing edge 8 repairs the machined surface, improves the quality and smoothness of the machined surface, and increases the impact resistance of the tool tip; the auxiliary cutting edge 9 is used to cooperate with the main cutting edge 7 to complete a small amount of cutting work.
[0038] The flank surface 5 is connected to the side surface 6 corresponding to the wiper edge 8 through a transition arc surface to form a first transition edge rear surface 12 at the transition angle. The first transition edge rear surface 12 is subjected to greater cutting force and cutting heat during cutting. The flank surface 5 is connected to the side surface 6 corresponding to another secondary cutting edge 9 on a different side through a transition arc surface to form a second transition edge rear surface 13 at the transition angle. The height H of the first transition edge rear surface 12 relative to the lower bottom surface 4 is greater than the height h of the second transition edge rear surface 13 relative to the lower bottom surface 4.
[0039] The main cutting edges 7 are in the form of smoothly connected cutting curves, and two groups of main cutting edges 7 opposite to each other on the milling blade extend obliquely in opposite directions, so the thickness at two relative corners of the upper top surface 3 is greater than the thickness at the other two relative corners of the upper top surface 3.
[0040] Furthermore, the screw hole 1 is located at the center of the mounting surface 31, and the mounting surface 31 is centered on the screw hole 1 and is a descending inclined surface around the screw hole 1. The main cutting edge 7, the first transition edge 10 and the wiper edge 8 extend toward the screw hole 1 to form a first cutting front surface, including a main cutting edge front surface 321, a first transition edge front surface 322 and a wiper edge front surface 323. The main cutting edge front surface 321, the first transition edge front surface 322 and the wiper edge front surface 323 are all inclined and recessed toward the screw hole 1 and are located at the recessed position and transitionally connected to the lower part of the inclined surface.
[0041] Furthermore, the second transition edge 11 and the auxiliary cutting edge 9 extend toward the screw hole 1 to form a second cutting front face 324 and an auxiliary cutting edge front face 325 respectively. The second cutting front face 324 and the auxiliary cutting edge front face 325 are both inclined and recessed toward the screw hole 1 and are located at the recessed part and transitionally connected to the lower part of the inclined surface.
[0042] The front face 321 of the main cutting edge, the front face 322 of the first transition edge, the front face 323 of the finishing edge, the front face 324 of the second cutting edge and the front face 325 of the secondary cutting edge respectively form chip breaking grooves with the inclined surface in the direction of the screw hole 1. During cutting, the chip breaking grooves allow the chips to flow out along the front cutting edge face 32 and contact, curl and break with the inclined surface, so as to reduce the contact friction between the chips and the upper top surface 3, thereby reducing the main cutting force.
[0043] The chip breaker groove tends to be linear and arc-shaped, that is, the chip breaker groove includes a linear portion for guiding the chip discharge and an arc portion for curling the chip, thereby causing deformation and breakage; since the linear portions of the chip breaker grooves formed by the front of the main cutting edge 321 close to the front of the first transition edge 322, the front of the first transition edge 322, and the front of the finishing edge 323 and the inclined surface are respectively too long, the chip contacts the upper top surface 3 for too long and the contact area is too large during the chip discharge process, thereby increasing the friction between the chip and the upper top surface 3, thereby increasing the main cutting force; at the same time, the cutting heat carried by the chip is more easily transferred to the blade body 2, affecting the service life of the milling blade.
[0044] In order to solve the above technical problems, in this embodiment, continuous first convex strips 14 are provided at the portion of the main cutting edge front 321 close to the first transition edge front 322, the first transition edge front 322 and the descending portion of the wiper edge front 323, and the extending direction of the first convex strips 14 is the same as the extending direction of the main cutting edge 7. The straight line portion for guiding the chip discharge is greatly shortened, and the first convex strips 14 reduce the curling radius of the chip, making it easier to break.
[0045] Furthermore, a portion of the main cutting edge front surface 321 close to the second cutting front surface 322 and a descending portion of the second cutting front surface 324 are provided with a continuous second convex strip 15 , and an extending direction of the second convex strip 15 is the same as an extending direction of the main cutting edge 7 .
[0046] The first convex strip 14 and the second convex strip 15 both function as reinforcing ribs, that is, they enhance the cutting strength of the milling cutter blade during cutting.
[0047] Furthermore, a third ridge 16 is provided in the chip breaker groove, and the third ridge 16 extends in the direction of chip discharge, and multiple groups of third ridges 16 are arranged in parallel and evenly in the chip breaker groove along the extension direction of the main cutting edge 7. Specifically, multiple groups of the third ridges 16 are distributed in the chip breaker groove near the first transition edge 10. The third ridge 16 can reduce the contact area between the chip and the upper top surface 3, thereby greatly reducing the heat transferred from the chip to the blade body; and improving the service life of the blade body.
[0048] The first convex strip 14 , the second convex strip 15 and the third convex strip 16 are all long heat dissipation strips, and the surfaces thereof are cylindrical structures.
[0049] In this embodiment, Figure 3 The flank surface 5 is sequentially connected with a first flank surface 51, a second flank surface 52 and a third flank surface 53 along the upper top surface 3 to the lower bottom surface 4. The first flank surface 51 and the third flank surface 53 respectively form a first flank angle а and a second flank angle β with the surface perpendicular to the lower bottom surface 4. The first flank angle а is less than or equal to the second flank angle β. This structure ensures that there is no interference between the flank surface 5 of the milling insert, especially the part close to the lower bottom surface 4 of the insert body 2, and the machined surface.
[0050] Furthermore, each of the wiper edges 8 and the secondary cutting edge 9 on the same side are transitionally connected by a concave curve to form a clearance, which can reduce the contact length between the secondary cutting edge 9 and the workpiece during the cutting process of the blade body, reduce the cutting resistance, and facilitate the discharge of chips.
[0051] Furthermore, the upper top surface 3 has a chamfered edge on the entire periphery, that is, a narrow plane is evenly provided along the cutting edge of the milling blade to increase the blade strength and improve the durability of the milling blade.
[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
