Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0031] Next, refer to Figures 1 to 6 to describe the plunge milling cutter of the present application in detail.

[0032] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the plunge milling cutter according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a tool neck 100 and a cutting edge part 200; one end of the cutting edge part 200 is connected to the tool neck 100, and several end cutting edges 210 and several chip flutings 220 are provided at the other end of the cutting edge part 200. The end cutting edges 210 are arranged circumferentially around the axis of the cutting edge part 200. The chip flutings 220 are arranged corresponding to the end cutting edges 210, and both opposite ends of the chip flutings 220 in their own extending direction extend to the circumferential side of the cutting edge part 200 respectively. The groove wall of the chip fluting 220 is connected to the corresponding end cutting edge 210.

[0033] Refer to Figures 1 to 3, in the embodiment shown in the figure, the axial direction of the plunge milling cutter is the front-back direction. The rear end of the cutting edge portion 200 is connected to the front end of the tool neck portion 100. Three end cutting edges 210 and three guiding grooves 220 are provided at the front end of the cutting edge portion 200. The three end cutting edges 210 are circumferentially spaced around the axis of the cutting edge portion 200. The three guiding grooves 220 are cross - arranged on the front end face of the cutting edge portion 200, and the groove side wall of each guiding groove 220 is connected to one end cutting edge 210.

[0034] It can be understood that when the plunge milling cutter of this embodiment mills the workpiece, the end cutting edge 210 can cut the workpiece, and the cutting chips generated by the end cutting edge 210 cutting the workpiece can enter the corresponding guiding groove 220. Since the two opposite ends of the guiding groove 220 respectively extend to the circumferential side of the cutting edge portion 200, the cutting chips in the guiding groove 220 can be discharged from the two opposite ends of the guiding groove 220 respectively. Thus, the discharge efficiency of the cutting chips during the operation of the plunge milling cutter of this embodiment is improved, the damage of the cutting chips to the plunge milling cutter of this embodiment is effectively reduced, and the service life of the plunge milling cutter of this embodiment is prolonged.

[0035] It can be understood that when the plunge milling cutter of this embodiment works, it is necessary to introduce coolant to the cutting edge portion 200 of the plunge milling cutter. Since the two opposite ends of the guiding groove 220 respectively extend to the circumferential side of the cutting edge portion 200, the coolant can enter from one end of the guiding groove 220 and flow out from the other end of the guiding groove 220. The coolant can smoothly flow on the front end face of the cutting edge portion 200, thereby improving the cooling effect of the coolant on the end cutting edge 210. At the same time, during the flow of the coolant, the coolant can carry out the cutting chips in the guiding groove 220 to improve the discharge efficiency of the cutting chips from the guiding groove 220.

[0036] When the plunge milling cutter of the present application works, the coolant is introduced from the periphery of the plunge milling cutter. Correspondingly, the cooling effect of the axis part of the cutting edge portion 200 is worse than that of the circumferential side part of the cutting edge portion 200.

[0037] In order to improve the cooling effect of the coolant on the axis part of the plunge milling cutter, in a further embodiment of the present utility model, the guiding groove 220 passes through the axis of the cutting edge portion 200.

[0038] In Figure 3 , three guiding grooves 220 are provided on the cutting edge portion 200, and all three guiding grooves 220 pass through the axis of the cutting edge portion 200. Furthermore, the axis part of the cutting edge portion 200 can be cooled by the coolant flowing through the three guiding grooves 220, thereby improving the cooling effect of the axis part of the cutting edge portion 200.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present utility model, along the depth direction of the diversion groove 220, the width dimension of the diversion groove 220 gradually decreases. With such a setting, on the one hand, the cutting chips generated by the end edge 210 cutting the workpiece can more easily enter the diversion groove 220. On the other hand, when the plunge milling cutter in this embodiment finishes cutting, it is convenient for the cutting chips to be discharged from the diversion groove 220, so as to reduce the probability of the cutting chips accumulating in the diversion groove 220.

[0040] Specifically, the depth of the diversion groove 220 is 0.1 mm, and the width of the notch of the diversion groove 220 is 0.15 mm.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 4 , the rake face of the end edge 210 has an end-edge rake angle 211, the flank face of the end edge 210 has an end-edge clearance angle 212, the end-edge rake angle 211 is 5° ± 1°, and the end-edge clearance angle 212 is 4° ± 1°.

[0042] It can be understood that the smaller end-edge rake angle 211 and end-edge clearance angle 212 can improve the strength and stiffness of the cutting edge portion 200 of the plunge milling cutter in this embodiment, so that the size of the cutting edge portion 200 of the plunge milling cutter in this embodiment in the axial direction can be made smaller.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the plunge milling cutter is a T-shaped plunge milling cutter, and a plurality of peripheral cutting edges 230 are provided on the circumferential side of the cutting edge portion 200, and the peripheral cutting edges 230 are arranged corresponding to the end edges 210.

[0044] In Figure 3 , three peripheral cutting edges 230 are provided on the circumferential side of the cutting edge portion 200, and the three peripheral cutting edges 230 are arranged corresponding to the three end edges 210 on the front end face of the cutting edge portion 200.

[0045] It can be understood that by providing the peripheral cutting edges 230 on the circumferential side of the cutting edge portion 200, the plunge milling cutter in this embodiment can not only plunge mill the workpiece through the end edges 210, but also side mill the workpiece through the peripheral cutting edges 230. The function of the cutter in this embodiment is more diversified, and it can achieve multiple functions with one tool, greatly improving the processing efficiency in actual processing.

[0046] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the flank face of the peripheral cutting edge 230 is provided with a first peripheral-edge clearance angle 231 and a second peripheral-edge clearance angle 232, the rake face of the peripheral cutting edge 230 is provided with a peripheral-edge rake angle 233, the first peripheral-edge clearance angle 231 is 12° ± 2°, the second peripheral-edge clearance angle 232 is 25° ± 4°, and the peripheral-edge rake angle 233 is 2° ± 1°.

[0047] It can be understood that by setting the peripheral-edge rake angle 233 to 2° ± 1°, the cutting edge of the peripheral cutting edge 230 can have better wear resistance and chipping resistance.

[0048] However, the peripheral edge rake angle 233 is set to 2° ± 1°, making the cutting edge of the peripheral edge 230 belong to a relatively blunt type, which is not conducive to the dissipation of cutting heat at the cutting edge of the peripheral edge 230. When the peripheral edge 230 cuts the workpiece, a large amount of cutting heat is likely to accumulate at the cutting edge of the peripheral edge 230, thereby affecting the service life of the peripheral edge 230.

[0049] In this embodiment, the peripheral edge 230 adopts a double-plane flank angle structure with both a first peripheral edge flank angle 231 and a second peripheral edge flank angle 232. The setting of the double-plane flank angle structure enables the peripheral edge 230 of the plunge milling cutter in this embodiment to have better sharpness, so as to balance the lack of sharpness of the cutting edge of the peripheral edge 230 due to the relatively small angle of the peripheral edge rake angle 233, making it easier for the peripheral edge 230 to cut the workpiece; at the same time, the setting of the double-plane flank angle structure can reduce the generation of cutting heat when the peripheral edge 230 cuts the workpiece, so as to reduce the accumulation of heat at the cutting edge of the peripheral edge 230 and extend the service life of the peripheral edge 230.

[0050] It can be understood that in this embodiment, by setting the first peripheral edge flank angle 231 to 12° ± 2°, the second peripheral edge flank angle 232 to 25° ± 4°, and the peripheral edge rake angle 233 to 2° ± 1°, it is possible to make the cutting edge of the peripheral edge 230 have good wear resistance and chipping resistance while having better sharpness, enabling the plunge milling cutter in this embodiment to have better machining performance and a longer service life at the same time.

[0051] It should be noted that when the plunge milling cutter of the present application is a T-shaped plunge milling cutter, the thickness of the cutting edge portion 200 in the axial direction is small, making the overall stiffness and strength of the cutting edge portion 200 low.

[0052] In order to improve the overall stiffness and strength of the cutting edge portion 200, in a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 , a plurality of protrusions 240 corresponding to the end cutting edges 210 are provided at the end face edge of the cutting edge portion 200, and a part of the end cutting edges 210 extends onto the protrusions 240.

[0053] In Figure 3 , three protrusions 240 and three end cutting edges 210 are provided on the cutting edge portion 200. The three end cutting edges 210 and the three protrusions 240 correspond one by one, and a part of the end cutting edges 210 extends onto the corresponding protrusions 240.

[0054] It can be understood that by providing the protrusions 240 on the cutting edge portion 200, the protrusions 240 can improve the stiffness and rigidity of the periphery of the cutting edge portion 200, enabling the peripheral edge 230 to smoothly perform side milling on the workpiece.

[0055] Specifically, in the circumferential direction of the blade portion 200 , the thickness of the blade portion 200 at the protrusion 240 is 0.5 mm.

[0056] In order to improve the overall rigidity and strength of the blade portion 200 , in a further embodiment of the present invention, the helix angle of the peripheral edge 230 is 25°, and a chip removal groove (not shown in the figure) is formed between adjacent peripheral edges 230 .

[0057] It can be understood that by setting a smaller helix angle, the blade portion 200 can have higher strength and rigidity; at the same time, the setting of a smaller helix angle can shorten the length of the chip groove, so that when the plunge milling cutter of this embodiment performs axial plunge milling, the chips can be discharged along the chip groove more quickly. During the discharge process, the chips will take away the heat of the blade portion 200, thereby slowing down the accumulation of heat in the blade portion 200, so as to extend the service life of the plunge milling cutter of this embodiment.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 5 The diameter of the blade portion 200 is D, and the core diameter of the peripheral blade 230 is 0.5D.

[0059] It can be understood that the smaller core diameter of the peripheral cutting edge 230 enables the plunge milling cutter of this embodiment to have a larger chip removal space when performing plunge milling.

[0060] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
