Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of milling cutters, and more specifically, it relates to a U-shaped groove milling cutter structure. Background Art
[0002] A milling cutter is a rotary tool with one or more cutting teeth used for milling machining. When working, each cutting tooth intermittently cuts off the surplus of the workpiece in turn. Milling cutters are mainly used for machining planes, milling holes, steps, grooves, forming surfaces, and cutting workpieces on milling machines, etc.
[0003] Currently, milling cutters on the market usually include a tool shank and a cutter head connected to the tool shank. Multiple milling edges are arranged on the cutter head, and chip flutes are formed between adjacent two of the milling edges; at least one main cutting edge and at least one chamfering edge are provided among the multiple milling edges. A main milling surface is formed on one side of the main cutting edge facing the tool shank, a chamfer milling surface is formed on one side of the chamfering edge facing the tool shank, and a preset included angle is formed between the main milling surface and the chamfer milling surface.
[0004] Since aluminum alloy has relatively high strength, its strength is close to that of high alloy steel, its stiffness exceeds that of steel, and it has good casting performance and plastic processing performance, good electrical and thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance and weldability. However, for the milling cutters on the market when cutting aluminum alloy, only one cutter head is used for cutting, and waste will be generated when cutting the U-shaped groove of aluminum alloy. Since there is only one chip evacuation groove on one cutter head, the cut waste will accumulate in the U-shaped groove. In this way, the waste chips will hinder the cutting of the cutter head. Due to only one cutter head, the cutter head is prone to wear during the process of cutting the U-shaped groove of aluminum alloy. After the cutter head wears, the cutting efficiency decreases, the required precision cannot be achieved, the cutter head is easily broken, which poses a hazard to the processing personnel, the cutter head needs to be replaced frequently, resulting in high economic losses, and there will be a phenomenon of many material burrs during cutting. All these materials need to be processed, resulting in slow processing speed and low production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

[0030] For Embodiment 1, please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , the present utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0031] Refer to Figure 1 , a U-shaped groove milling cutter structure, including a tool shank assembly 1. The tool shank assembly 1 is the main part of the milling cutter, usually made of steel or alloy, used to connect the milling cutter and the clamping device of the milling machine. A cutter body assembly 2 is installed at the front end of the tool shank assembly 1. The cutter body assembly 2 is mainly used for cutting workpieces, generally formed by a single blade or a combination of multiple blades. Different shapes, numbers, and arrangements of the cutter teeth during the cutting process will affect the cutting performance of the milling cutter.
[0032] Refer to Figure 1 , the tool shank assembly 1 includes a tool shank 12. The shape of the tool shank 12 is conical, and the bottom diameter of the tool shank 12 is G.

[0033] Refer to Figure 4 , the cutter body assembly 2 includes a cutting cylinder 27. The cutting cylinder 27 provides an installation environment. When the milling cutter cuts, it drives the blade to move downward. The shape of the cutting cylinder 27 is cylindrical, and the length of the cutting cylinder 27 is B. The value of B is set to 30 ± 0.15 MM. By setting the length of the cutting cylinder 27, the length of 27 is the length required for the workpiece to be cut, so as to achieve an appropriate depth when cutting the groove.
[0034] Refer to Figure 1 , one end of the conical tool shank 12 has a mounting shank 11. The mounting shank 11 is mainly used for support, provides a support force during the working process of the milling cutter, and provides an installation environment. The shape of the mounting shank 11 is cylindrical. Designing it as a cylinder is convenient for heat dissipation, reducing tool wear caused by heat concentration during the working process. The total length of the tool shank assembly 1 and the cutter body assembly 2 is A. The value of A is set to 75 ± 0.3 MM. By setting the length of the entire structure, the overall mechanical strength and rigidity of the milling cutter are improved, enabling the milling cutter to withstand the cutting force and vibration force generated during the milling process and not being easily damaged.
[0035] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, a first cutting edge 24 is installed on the outer surface of the cylindrical handle 12. The first cutting edge 24 is helically installed around the outer surface of the cylindrical handle 12. This helical installation method helps to achieve continuous cutting action, can distribute the cutting force more evenly, reduce the impact on the milling cutter and the workpiece, reduce vibration, and the helically arranged blades can adapt to different milling depths and widths, providing more flexible processing capabilities. The first cutting edge 24 is the component on the milling cutter that actually performs cutting, and the first cutting edge 24 can adapt to the cutting requirements of the workpiece.
[0036] Refer to Figure 3 , a second cutting edge 25 and a third cutting edge 26 are also installed on the outer surface of the cylindrical handle 12. The second cutting edge 25 and the third cutting edge 26 are both helically installed around the outer surface of the cylindrical handle 12. The second cutting edge 25 and the third cutting edge 26 can perform fine cutting after the first cutting edge 24 has finished cutting, and process the burrs left by the first cutting edge 24. The first cutting edge 24, the second cutting edge 25, and the third cutting edge 26 are arranged in a helix, and the wear degree of each blade during the milling process is more uniform, which can effectively extend the service life of the blade. Make a cross auxiliary line in the middle of the cutting cylinder 27.

[0037] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a second chip groove 22 is provided between the first cutting edge 24 and the second cutting edge 25. The second chip groove 22 is used to discharge the waste chips produced during the cutting process of the first cutting edge 24 and the second cutting edge 25, avoiding the accumulation of waste chips on the surface of the workpiece and affecting the cutting efficiency. The width of the second chip groove 22 is I, and the size of I is set to 0.9MM. A first chip groove 21 is provided between the second cutting edge 25 and the third cutting edge 26. The first chip groove 21 helps to maintain the flow of the cutting fluid, discharge the waste chips, and avoid overheating of the milling cutter caused by excessive accumulation of waste chips.

By setting the different widths of the first chip groove 21 and the second chip groove 22, better cooling and lubrication conditions are provided, achieving the effect of effectively keeping the tool surface clean and extending the service life of the tool.
[0038] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the first cutting edge 24, the second cutting edge 25, and the third cutting edge 26 are all provided with cutting tips 23. The cutting tip 23 is the point where the milling cutter contacts the material and performs actual cutting. The shape, sharpness, and material of the cutting tip 23 will directly affect the cutting effect and machining quality.

During the milling process, the cutting tip 23 can withstand greater cutting forces without deformation or damage. On the end face formed by the tool shank 12 and the first cutting edge 24, the second cutting edge 25, and the third cutting edge 26, there is an end face groove 28. The end face groove 28 expands the machining range of the milling cutter, enabling it to reach the edges or corners of the workpiece.
