[0039] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] This embodiment relates to a sealing groove milling cutter, which can ensure the machining accuracy of the workpiece and improve the sealing effect of the workpiece. Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, the sealed groove milling cutter of this embodiment includes a shank 1 and a cutter head 2 arranged on the shank 1 and coaxially with the shank 1. The head of the cutter head 2 is provided with a plurality of cutting edges 21 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cutter head 2. The plurality of cutting edges 21 are spiral and have the same rotation direction, and the cutting portion 211 of each cutting edge 21 is inclined inwardly relative to the axis of the cutter head 2 at one end away from the end of the cutting edge 21, forming a dovetail shape.
[0042] Here, by tilting each cutting portion 211 to form a dovetail shape, the milled sealing groove forms a structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, thereby being able to well fix the sealing ring and thus improving the sealing effect.
[0043] The angle formed between each cutting edge 21 and the axis of the cutter head 2 is the helix angle, and adjacent helix angles are arranged equally. This arrangement ensures that the cutting thickness and cutting width of each cutting edge 21 change in the same pattern, preventing sudden fluctuations in cutting force during the cutting process, thereby reducing surface roughness and improving machining accuracy.
[0044] In the specific structure, the cutting portion 211 of this embodiment can be configured as a straight edge. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the cutting portion 211 can be configured as a plurality of arc-shaped edges with gradually changing radians and sequentially inscribed with each other, or the cutting portion 211 can be configured as a smooth arc-shaped edge.
[0045] Furthermore, the cutting edges 21 in this embodiment can be provided as three, evenly spaced, with the angle between two adjacent cutting edges 21 being 120°. This improves the tool's impact resistance, reduces the risk of chipping, and ultimately extends the tool's life. Of course, the specific number of cutting edges 21 can also be designed and adjusted based on actual needs, such as two or four.
[0046] Based on the above overall introduction, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, as Figure 1 As shown in , the angle γ1 of each helix angle is between 24.98° and 25.02°. This setting, by limiting the angle γ1 of each adjacent helix angle, helps stabilize the cutting force and ensure machining accuracy. At the same time, a suitable helix angle γ1 can reduce the risk of milling cutter edge damage and further improve tool durability.
[0047] In the specific structure, the angle of the spiral angle γ1 can be designed and adjusted according to actual requirements, for example, it can be set to 24.98°, 25°, 25.02°, etc., as long as the accuracy during processing can be ensured. Specifically, the angle of the spiral angle γ1 of the embodiment is set to 25°.
[0048] Furthermore, as a preferred implementation form, as shown in Figure 1 the inclination angle γ2 of each cutting portion 211 in the embodiment is between 34.99° and 35.01°. The advantage of this setting is that by limiting the inclination angle γ2 of the cutting portion 211, the peak value of the cutting force can be reduced, the process of the milling cutter entering the workpiece is smoother, thereby reducing the stress value of the cutting edge 21 in the initial cutting stage, effectively reducing the probability of the occurrence of the chipping phenomenon, and further facilitating the extension of the service life of the milling cutter.
[0049] It can be understood that if the inclination angle γ2 of the cutting portion 211 (i.e., the included angle between the cutting portion 211 and the axis of the tool head 2) is set too large, the cutting force will be unstable, the vibration will be intensified, and the required machining accuracy cannot be achieved. If the inclination angle γ2 of the cutting portion 211 is set too small, the sealing groove after milling cannot well fix the sealing ring, thereby being not conducive to improving the sealing effect of the workpiece.
[0050] Specifically, the inclination angle γ2 of the cutting portion 211 can be set to 35°, thereby being able to improve the fixing effect of the sealing ring while ensuring the machining accuracy, and further improving the sealing effect of the workpiece. Of course, in addition to being set to 35°, it can also be adjusted according to actual requirements, for example, it can also be set to 34.99°, 35.01°, etc.
[0051] In addition, in the embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, as shown in Figure 2 each end of each cutting edge 21 is provided with a corresponding end edge 212, and the connection between each end edge 212 and the corresponding cutting portion 211 is a fillet structure, and the radius R of the fillet is in the range of 2.485 mm to 2.515 mm.
[0052] By setting the fillet structure, the workpiece surface is not easily scratched, the workpiece surface can be effectively protected, and at the same time, the tool can be more smoothly transitioned when milling the corner, the tool wear rate is reduced, and the cutting performance is maintained.
[0053] Specifically, the radius R of the fillet of the embodiment can be set to 2.5 mm. Of course, it can also be designed and adjusted according to actual requirements, for example, it can be set to 2.485 mm, 2.515 mm, etc. As long as the radius R of the fillet is in the range of 2.5 ± 0.015 mm, it can be ensured.
[0054] In addition, in the embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 each side of each cutting edge 21 is provided with a peripheral edge 213, and the first clearance angle a1 of each peripheral edge 213 is 13°, and the second clearance angle a2 of each peripheral edge 213 is 26°.
[0055] Here, the first clearance angle a1 and the second clearance angle of the peripheral edge 213 are limited by angles, and by selecting appropriate angles, it is helpful to reduce the friction between the cutting edge 21 and the workpiece, so as to improve the cutting speed, and further improve the cutting efficiency, and at the same time, when hard points in the material are encountered in the milling process, the cutting edge 21 can have enough strength to resist these external forces, and prevent the occurrence of chipping.
[0056] Meanwhile, as a preferred implementation form, as shown in Figure 1 the rake angle b1 of each end edge 212 of the embodiment is 2°. By limiting the rake angle b1 of the end edge 212, the cutting force can be reduced, so that the milling cutter can adopt a higher cutting speed and feed rate during cutting, and further improve the cutting efficiency.
[0057] And the first clearance angle of each end edge 212 is 8°, and the second clearance angle b2 of each end edge 212 is 16°. Here, the clearance angle of the end edge 212 is limited, which can balance the components of the cutting force in different directions, thereby reducing the phenomenon of letting the tool due to unbalanced cutting force, and improving the machining precision.
[0058] It is worth mentioning that the first clearance angle a1 of the peripheral edge 213, the second clearance angle a2 of the peripheral edge 213, the rake angle b1 of the end edge 212, the first clearance angle of the end edge 212, the second clearance angle b2 of the end edge 212, and the first clearance angle b3 of the end edge 212 all have an error range of ±0.02°, as long as these angles are within the error range.
[0059] In addition, in the embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 a chip groove 4 is formed between the two adjacent cutting edges 21. Here, by setting the chip groove 4, it can ensure that the chips are smoothly discharged, ensure the continuity of the milling process, and also help to reduce the accumulation of heat in the cutting area and reduce the cutting temperature.
[0060] It should be noted that if the extension length L4 of the chip groove 4 is set too long, the waste materials are easy to be wound or stacked together in the groove, causing blockage. If the extension length L4 of the chip groove 4 is set too short, the waste materials cannot be completely constrained from discharging, and are easy to fly out of the chip groove 4, affecting the milling operation. Specifically, the extension length L4 of the chip groove 4 in the embodiment can be set to 7mm. Of course, in addition to being set to 7mm, it can also be designed and adjusted according to actual needs, for example, 6mm, 8mm, etc.
[0061] In view of the requirement of tool structure strength, in the embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, as shown in Figure 1 Figure 1 The tail of the tool head 2 is provided with a connecting section 3, which is used to connect the tool shank 1. Moreover, the connecting section 3 is in the shape of a circular truncated cone, and the outer diameter of the connecting section 3 gradually increases in the direction away from the tool head 2, and the outer diameter of the large end of the connecting section 3 is the same as the diameter D2 of the tool shank 1.
[0062] Here, the outer diameter of the connecting section 3 gradually increases in the axial direction away from the tool head 2, and the outer diameter of the large end of the connecting section 3 is consistent with the diameter D2 of the tool shank 1, achieving the effect of gradual change of the outer diameter, so that the stress can be more evenly distributed on the tool shank 1, reducing the risk of fracture of the tool shank 1, and also facilitating the improvement of connection stability and the improvement of the structure strength of the tool.
[0063] In the specific structure, the outer diameter of the small end of the connecting section 3 is the same as the diameter of the tail of the tool head 2 (i.e. the diameter D1 of the core), and the tool head 2, the connecting section 3 and the tool shank 1 can be connected by welding. Of course, in addition to welding, other common connection forms can also be used, or the tool head 2, the connecting section 3 and the tool shank 1 can be integrally formed. It should be noted that the head of the tool head 2 refers to the end of the tool head 2 away from the connecting section 3, and the tail of the tool head 2 refers to the end of the tool head close to the connecting section 3.
[0064] In addition, in the embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, the tool head 2 has a core, and the ratio of the diameter D1 of the core to the diameter D2 of the tool shank 1 is between 0.6 and 0.7. Here, by limiting the proportional relationship between the diameter D1 of the core and the diameter D2 of the tool shank 1, the natural frequency of the tool can be optimized, thereby avoiding resonance phenomenon in the milling process, and making the tool more stable in the milling process.
[0065] In specific implementation, the ratio of the diameter D1 of the core to the diameter D2 of the tool shank 1 can be set to 0.67, i.e. the diameter D2 of the tool shank 1 can be set to 6mm, and the diameter D1 of the core can be set to 4mm. Of course, the diameter D2 of the tool shank 1 and the diameter D1 of the core can also be designed and adjusted according to actual needs, as long as the ratio of the diameter D1 of the core to the diameter D2 of the tool shank 1 is between 0.6 and 0.7.
[0066] Meanwhile, the ratio of the length L1 of the tool head 2 to the total length L of the tool head 2 and the tool handle 1 is between 0.2 and 0.25. Thus, the structural strength of the tool is improved, the service life of the tool is prolonged, the milling precision is improved, the quality of the product is ensured, the structure is reasonable, and the design is facilitated.
[0067] In the specific structure, the ratio of the length L1 of the tool head 2 to the total length L of the tool head 2 and the tool handle 1 can be set to 0.21, that is, the length L1 of the tool head 2 is set to 15 mm, and the total length of the tool head 2 and the tool handle 1 is set to 70 mm. At this time, the length L2 of the connecting section 3 is 3 mm, and the length L3 of the tool handle 1 is 52 mm.
[0068] The length L1 of the tool head 2, the length L3 of the tool handle 1, and the length L2 of the connecting section 3 can be designed and adjusted according to actual requirements, as long as the ratio of the length L1 of the tool head 2 to the total length L of the tool head 2 and the tool handle 1 is between 0.2 and 0.25.
[0069] The sealing groove milling cutter of the embodiment can better fix the sealing ring after milling, thereby improving the sealing effect of the workpiece, and the spiral angles are equally divided, so that the change rules of the cutting thickness and the cutting width of each cutting edge 21 are the same, the cutting force does not suddenly fluctuate in the cutting process, thereby facilitating the reduction of the roughness of the machined surface, and further facilitating the improvement of the machining precision.
[0070] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
