[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a special tap for ductile iron provided by one embodiment of the present invention includes a tap body, wherein the tap body is composed of a cone 1, a neck 2, a round handle 3 and a driving square head 4;

[0025] The cone 1 is connected to the neck 2, the neck 2 is connected to the round handle 3, and the round handle 3 is connected to the driving square head 4;

[0026] A chip removal groove 5 is formed between the cone 1 and the neck 2, a cutting edge 8 is formed on the cone 1, a clearance 6 is provided on the cutting edge 8, and a chamfer 7 is formed at the front end of the cutting edge 8;

[0027] Cone 1: Connected to the neck 2, it is the main part for cutting. Cone 1 is provided with a cutting edge 8, the front end of which has a chamfer 7 and a clearance 6. A chip groove 5 is formed between cone 1 and neck 2.

[0028] Neck 2: connects the cone 1 and the round handle 3, serving as a transition.

[0029] Round handle 3: connected to the driving square head 4, convenient for holding and installation on the tool.

[0030] Driving square head 4: used to connect with driving equipment and transmit power.

[0031] Chip discharge groove 5: located between the cone 1 and the neck 2, used to discharge iron chips generated by cutting.

[0032] Avoidance 6: It is set on the cutting edge 8 of the cone 1 to reduce cutting resistance.

[0033] Chamfer 7: Located at the front end of the cutting edge 8, it guides the tap into the workpiece.

[0034] Cutting edge 8: The key part on cone 1 for thread processing.

[0035] The core 9 is located in the middle of the cone 1 and has a thickness of 60% of the overall diameter. The core 9 is hollow and has an inner cooling water outlet hole 10 .

[0036] Internal cooling water outlet hole 10: provided in the core 9, coolant can be injected to reduce the cutting temperature.

[0037] The blade 11 is formed by the cutting edge 8, the clearance 6 and the chamfer 7 on the core 9 and is distributed in four circles.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the central portion of the taper 1 is a core 9, which is hollow and has an internal cooling hole 10. When machining ductile iron with a tap, a large amount of heat is generated. The internal cooling hole 10 can inject coolant to effectively lower the temperature in the cutting area, reducing wear and deformation of the tap caused by high temperatures and extending the service life of the tap.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting edge 8, the relief 6, and the chamfer 7 on the core 9 form a cutting edge 11. The core 9 is a key component of the taper 1, and its cutting edge 8 is a critical part of the cutting process, responsible for cutting threads in ductile iron. The provision of the relief 6 reduces resistance during the cutting process, prevents excessive friction between the cutting edge 8 and the workpiece, reduces cutting force and energy consumption, and also helps reduce wear on the cutting edge 8. The chamfer 7 at the front end of the cutting edge 8 guides the tap smoothly into the workpiece, making the cutting process smoother and reducing impact and damage to the workpiece.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting edge 11 is divided into four segments and distributed circumferentially. The even distribution of the four cutting edges 11 around the circumference distributes the cutting force more evenly across the tap. During the machining process, each cutting edge 11 handles a portion of the cutting load, preventing deformation or damage to the tap caused by excessive local cutting forces. This improves cutting stability and precision, ensuring thread quality.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the core 9 has a thickness of up to 60% of the tap's overall diameter. Combined with the internal coolant holes 10, the tap body exhibits high strength and excellent chip evacuation during ductile iron machining. The thicker core 9 provides greater strength for the tap. Ductile iron machining experiences high cutting forces, requiring the tap to possess sufficient strength to resist deformation and breakage. The thicker core 9 can withstand greater cutting forces and torque, ensuring the tap remains stable during machining and reducing damage caused by insufficient strength.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
