Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the aerospace field, especially for key components such as aircraft fuselages and aero-engines, a large number of light metals and composite metal laminated components are used to achieve the purpose of weight reduction and enhanced structural reliability. The extensive application of light metals and composite metal laminated components has brought a huge demand for assembly connection hole-making. Currently, there are mainly two types of problems in hole-making: Firstly, excessive cutting force and torque during the cutting process can cause deformation of the workpiece material, affecting the hole-making quality, and even leading to tool breakage and workpiece scrapping. Secondly, the metal chips generated during drilling will scrape the drilled composite material hole wall, causing damage, affecting the hole diameter accuracy and hole quality, and even having the risk of chip blockage. When using conventional hole-making tools to make holes in light metals and composite metal laminated components, defects such as chip blockage, over-tolerance of hole-making dimensional accuracy, and poor hole wall roughness often occur, which will directly affect the assembly accuracy and the physical and mechanical properties of the machined structural parts.

Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this application belongs. The terms used in the description of the template herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, some embodiments of the present utility model provide a drill bit, which is mainly applied to the hole machining of parts such as aircraft skins, wing beams, floor beams, and fuselage structural members, used to reduce the displacement resistance of the drill bit along the rake face of the groove during chip formation, improve the smoothness of chip discharge, avoid chip accumulation and blockage, so as to improve the drilling quality.

[0035] The drill bit includes a body 100.

[0036] Wherein, a plurality of spaced spiral grooves 110 are formed on the outer periphery of the body 100. The number of the spiral grooves 110 can be any value of two or more, and can be specifically set according to actual situations.

[0037] In this embodiment, the edges of the spiral grooves 110 are connected to the side wall of the body 100 to form back edges and cutting edges. The cutting edges can play a role in cutting the hole wall of the workpiece, so as to avoid the occurrence of burrs on the hole wall during the process of drilling the workpiece. At the same time, the back edges play a role in blocking and finishing the waste chips, avoiding the scattering of chips everywhere, so as to improve the processing quality of the workpiece.

[0038] Along the first helical direction, the helical groove 110 includes a first helical groove section 111 and a second helical groove section 112. The groove wall of the first helical groove section 111 is a smooth first arc surface, and the groove wall of the second helical groove section 112 is a smooth second arc surface. It should be noted that the first arc surface and the second arc surface are asymmetrically arranged.

[0039] In this embodiment, the groove surface of the first helical groove section 111 is smoother than that of the second helical groove section 112, that is, the first arc surface is smoother than the second arc surface, so that the angle between the groove profile of the helical groove 110 and the tangent point of the core diameter is smaller, that is, the groove profile of the second helical groove section 112 is farther back from the inflection point of the first helical groove section 111, which is more conducive to reducing the displacement resistance along the first helical direction during the chip formation process, improving the smoothness of the chip discharging upward along the helical groove 110, achieving the effect of avoiding chip accumulation and blockage and reducing the drilling torque, which can not only improve the cutting quality but also extend the service life of the drill bit.

[0040] Specifically, the concave radian of the first arc surface is smaller than that of the second arc surface, so that the second helical groove section 112 has a large concave radian and a large groove opening angle, which promotes the inward curling and convergence of the chip, has strong wrapping at the groove tail, and avoids the chip rubbing against the hole wall.

[0041] The drill bit provided by the present application, through the design of matching the smaller core diameter of the body 100 and the larger groove depth of the helical groove 110, makes the chip discharge groove of the helical groove 110 have a larger chip accommodation space, which is conducive to avoiding chip accumulation and blockage and achieving the purpose of improving the hole diameter stability.

[0042] It should be noted that the first helical direction refers to the rotational cutting direction when the drill bit drills a hole.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the central angle of the first helical groove section 111 is α, and the value range of α is 50° ≤ α ≤ 60°.

[0044] It can be understood that the value range of the central angle α of the first helical groove section 111 can be any range among 50° ≤ α ≤ 60°, 51° ≤ α ≤ 60°, 52° ≤ α ≤ 60°, 53° ≤ α ≤ 60°, 54° ≤ α ≤ 60°, 55° ≤ α ≤ 60°, 56° ≤ α ≤ 60°, 57° ≤ α ≤ 60°, 58° ≤ α ≤ 60° and 59° ≤ α ≤ 60°.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the arc radius of the second helical groove section 112 is R1, and the radius of the body 100 is R. Among them, the relationship between R1 and R satisfies the formula 0.5R ≤ R1 ≤ 0.8R.

[0046] It can be understood that the relationship satisfied between R1 and R can be any one of 0.5R ≤ R1 ≤ 0.8R, 0.6R ≤ R1 ≤ 0.8R, and 0.7R ≤ R1 ≤ 0.8R, which can be specifically set according to the actual situation.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the included angle of the spiral groove 110 is γ, wherein the value range of γ is 94° ≤ γ ≤ 120°.

[0048] It can be understood that the value range of γ can be any one of 94° ≤ γ ≤ 120°, 100° ≤ γ ≤ 120°, 105° ≤ γ ≤ 120°, 110° ≤ γ ≤ 120°, 115° ≤ γ ≤ 120°.

[0049] Such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, along the axial direction of the body 100, one end of the body 100 is provided with a tip cutting portion 120.

[0050] Wherein, the tip cutting portion 120 includes a plurality of inner cutting edges 121 and a plurality of outer cutting edges 122. One ends of the plurality of inner cutting edges 121 are connected to form a first cutting tip 300. The other ends of the plurality of inner cutting edges 121 are arranged at intervals. And one end of the outer cutting edge 122 is connected to the end of the inner cutting edge 121 far from the first cutting tip 300, and the other end of the outer cutting edge 122 is connected to the side wall of the body 100 to form a second cutting tip 400.

[0051] It should be noted that the distances between the ends of two adjacent inner cutting edges 121 far from the first cutting tip 300 are equal. In this way, during the process of the first cutting portion drilling the workpiece, the uniformity of the inner cutting edge 121 drilling the workpiece can be ensured, so as to ensure the consistency of the size of the waste chips generated during the drilling process. At the same time, the uniformity of the force on each inner cutting edge 121 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the service life of the first cutting edge and the processing quality of the workpiece.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the apex angle of the inner cutting edge 121 is α1, wherein the value range of α1 is 55° ≤ α1 ≤ 67.5°.

[0053] It can be understood that the value range of α1 can be any one of 55° ≤ α1 ≤ 67.5°, 60° ≤ α1 ≤ 67.5°, 65° ≤ α1 ≤ 67.5°, which can be specifically set according to the actual situation.

[0054] In addition, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the apex angle of the outer cutting edge 122 is α2, where the value range of α2 is 75° ≤ α2 ≤ 90°. Among them, the value range of α2 can be any one of 75° ≤ α2 ≤ 90°, 80° ≤ α2 ≤ 90°, 85° ≤ α2 ≤ 90°, and can be specifically set according to the actual situation.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the outer diameter of the inner cutting edge 121 is D1, and the outer diameter of the body 100 is D. Among them, D1 and D satisfy the relational expression: 0.375D ≤ D1 ≤ 0.8D. It can be understood that the relational expression satisfied between D1 and D includes any one of 0.375D ≤ D1 ≤ 0.8D, 0.4D ≤ D1 ≤ 0.8D, 0.5D ≤ D1 ≤ 0.8D, 0.6D ≤ D1 ≤ 0.8D, 0.7D ≤ D1 ≤ 0.8D.

[0056] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present utility model, a drill bit is provided and marked as drill type 1. The apex angle α1 of the inner cutting edge 121 of the drill type 1 is 55°, the apex angle α2 of the outer cutting edge 122 is 75°, and the outer diameter D1 of the inner cutting edge 121 is 37.5% D.

[0057] In addition, another drill bit is provided in this embodiment and marked as drill type 2. The apex angle α1 of the inner cutting edge 121 of the drill type 2 is 67.5°, the apex angle α2 of the outer cutting edge 122 is 85°, and the outer diameter D1 of the inner cutting edge 121 is 80% D.

[0059]

[0060]

[0061] Table 2 Comparison of cutting forces and torques in Example 1

[0062]

[0063] By drilling carbon plates with the conventional drill type and the drill type 1 and drill type 2 provided in this application respectively, it can be seen from Table 2 that the drill type 1 provided in this application weakens the axial force, has higher quality at the entrance and exit, and can break chips automatically. The scraping damage to the hole wall is reduced, the difference between the carbon plate exit hole diameter and the edge diameter is reduced, the cutting force is significantly reduced, and the torque reduction is small.

[0064] The drill type 2 provided in this application weakens the axial force and improves the quality at the entrance and exit. The chip shape becomes longer, and the proportion of long chips increases significantly. The chip removal process is smooth, the scraping damage to the hole wall is reduced, the difference between the carbon plate exit hole diameter and the edge diameter is reduced, and the cutting force and torque are significantly reduced.

[0065] In addition, some other embodiments of the present application provide a drill bit, which is marked as Drill Type 3. The central angle α of the first spiral groove section 111 of the drill type 2 is 55°, the arc radius of the second spiral groove section 112 is R1 = 0.7R, and the included angle of the spiral groove 110 is γ = 106°. When comparing this Drill Type 3 with a conventional drill bit, specific comparison data can be found in Tables 3 and 4.

[0066] Table 3 Comparison of Bore Diameters in Example 2

[0067]

[0068] Table 4 Comparison of Cutting Forces and Torques in Example 2

[0069]

[0070] As can be seen from Tables 3 and 4, when comparing Drill Type 3 with a conventional drill bit, the chip shape of the groove type of Drill Type 3 is still folded, but the extrusion degree is reduced, the chips become longer, the debris and short chips are reduced, the bore diameter at the carbon plate outlet tends to be stable, and the torque reduction is relatively large, about 40%.

[0071] It can be seen therefrom that through the groove type design of the spiral groove 110 in the present application, in cooperation with the core diameter of the body 100, the chip-containing space of the chip evacuation groove is larger, which is beneficial to avoiding chip accumulation and blockage, and achieving the purpose of improving the stability of the bore diameter.

[0072] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the drill bit includes a drill shank 500, and the drill shank 500 is disposed at one end of the body 100 away from the tip cutting portion 120.

[0073] In all the examples shown and described here, any specific value should be construed as merely exemplary, not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0074] It should be noted that: like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0075] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
