Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spiral groove taps, in particular to a variable-angle spiral groove tap. Background Art
[0002] Threaded holes are structures frequently encountered in the field of mechanical processing. They are generally processed with taps. When the threaded hole is a through hole, a straight groove tap is generally used. When the threaded hole is a blind hole, a spiral groove tap is generally used. When processing blind hole threads, a spiral groove tap with upper chip removal is required. The spiral direction of the spiral groove is the same as the direction of the tap's rotation and cutting, which is commonly known as right-handed right-edge. The chips cut off are discharged upward along the spiral groove.
[0003] However, existing spiral groove taps still have certain defects in the processing process. For example, when conventional spiral taps are tapping at high speed, due to the spiral tap, the chips discharged during processing will move in the groove along the direction of the groove toward the back of the shank. When the chips reach the end of the groove, that is, the connection between the tooth and the shank, as the spiral groove disappears, the chips are very likely to deform and wrap around the shank, which not only affects the tapping operation and easily causes thread deviation, but also because the chips are entangled and cover the threaded hole, the cutting fluid cannot fully reach the processing area, resulting in poor cooling and lubrication, easily causing abnormal temperature rise in the processing area, reducing tool life, affecting thread quality, and easily causing chips to get stuck and break the tap, reducing processing efficiency and making it inconvenient for promotion and use.
[0004] In order to solve this problem, the present application provides a variable-angle spiral groove tap. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a variable-angle spiral groove tap to solve the problem raised in the above-mentioned background technology that when the chips reach the end of the groove, as the spiral groove disappears, the chips are very likely to deform and wrap around the shank, which not only affects the tapping operation, but also because the chips wrap around and cover the threaded hole, the cutting fluid cannot fully reach the processing area, resulting in poor cooling and lubrication, and poor use effect.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0007] A variable-angle spiral groove tap comprises a tap clamping assembly and a spiral groove tap assembly, wherein the tap clamping assembly comprises a clamping body and a stopper, wherein the stopper is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping body; the spiral groove tap assembly comprises a tap rod and a tap clamping end, wherein the tap clamping end is fixedly connected to the top of the tap rod; and the spiral groove tap assembly is fixedly mounted inside the tap clamping assembly via the tap clamping end.
[0008] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model is that loading and unloading grooves are provided on both sides of the clamp body, and a clamping head is fixedly connected to the top end of the stop block.
[0009] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model is that a tap clamping hole is provided at the bottom of the clamp body, a fixing screw is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the clamp body, and a gasket is movably installed inside the tap clamping hole.
[0010] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model is that: a cutting fluid spray hole is opened at one end of the tap rod, and a tap head is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tap rod.
[0011] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model is that: the outside of the tap head is provided with tap thread teeth, and the outside of the tap head is provided with a spiral chip removal groove.
[0012] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model is that a cutting fluid groove is provided at the bottom of the tap head, and a cutting fluid outlet is provided at the bottom of the tap head.
[0013] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present utility model is that: a liquid inlet is provided on the top of the tap clamping end, a liquid inlet pipe is provided inside the tap rod, and a waste chip retaining ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tap rod.
[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has achieved the following technical advancements compared to the prior art:
[0015] 1. The utility model provides a variable-angle spiral groove tap. Through the combined action of the spiral chip groove and the chip retaining ring, when the chips generated during the tapping operation are discharged from the spiral chip groove to the end of the groove, that is, the connection between the tap thread and the tap shank, the chip retaining ring is structured so that the radius decreases as it approaches the tap thread. Therefore, the chip retaining ring can disperse the chips to the surrounding areas of the tap shank, keeping the chips away from the tap shank, thereby preventing the chips from entanglement with the tap shank.
[0016] 2. The utility model provides a variable-angle spiral groove tap. Through the joint action of a liquid inlet pipe, a cutting fluid outlet and a cutting fluid tank, when lubrication and cooling of the processing area are required, the cutting fluid is fed into the interior of the spiral groove tap assembly through the liquid inlet and the liquid inlet pipe. Since the cutting fluid outlet and the cutting fluid tank are arranged at the bottom of the spiral groove tap assembly, when the cutting fluid is discharged from the cutting fluid outlet, it will be sprayed out along the cutting fluid tank, bringing the chips out from the bottom of the processed hole, so that the spiral groove tap will not be broken due to chip jamming.

The bottom of the tap rod 20 is fixedly connected to the tap head 25. The outside of the tap head 25 is provided with tap thread teeth 23. When tapping a hole, the tap thread teeth 23 cut the hole. The outside of the tap head 25 is provided with a spiral chip removal groove 24. The chips generated during the cutting process are discharged through the spiral chip removal groove 24. The tap head A cutting fluid groove 26 is provided at the bottom of the tap head 25, and a cutting fluid outlet 27 is provided at the bottom of the tap head 25.
