[0028] The technical scheme of the utility model is further illustrated below in combination with the drawings and through specific embodiments.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the utility model discloses a kind of high tough welding type PCB end mill, including shank 2 and the milling cutter head 1 of welding with the end of shank 2, the end edge circumference direction of the milling cutter head 1 is formed with four cutting edges 10 of interval arrangement, the cutting edge 10 is spirally arranged along the extension direction of the milling cutter head 1;The surface of the cutting edge 10 is coated with AlTiN coating;In cutting work process, helical cutting edge 10 can gradually cut into material, disperse cutting force, reduce the cutting pressure that single cutting edge 10 bears, to reduce vibration and impact, improve the stability of cutting process;Four cutting edges 10 of interval arrangement can be alternatively acted on processing surface when rotating cutting, to balance stress, effectively improve processing efficiency and the toughness of tool;The hardness and wear resistance of cutting edge 10 can be improved by the AlTiN coating coated on the surface of cutting edge 10, so that it reduces wear in high-speed cutting process, and AlTiN coating has excellent high-temperature resistance, can effectively reduce heat accumulation in cutting process, prolong the service life of tool.

[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, chip flute 11 is formed between adjacent two cutting edges 10, and the chip flute 11 is spirally arranged along the extension direction of the milling cutter head 1, and the middle part of the milling cutter head 1 is provided with a chip guide block 12, and the chip guide block 12 is used to stir the chips generated when the cutting edge 10 cuts the processing surface;In the cutting process, the cutting edge 10 contacts the processing surface and gradually cuts into the material, and a large amount of chips are generated, and the spirally arranged chip flute 11 can orderly discharge these chips along the extension direction of the milling cutter head 1, so that the chips are prevented from being accumulated in the cutting area;The chip guide block 12 can play a stirring role, and can guide the chips into the chip flute 11 by rotating disturbance at the moment when the chips are formed, so that the chips are prevented from being accumulated near the cutting edge 10 to cause processing interference.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown, a guide flow dividing groove 13 is formed between the chip guide block 12 and the chip flute 11, the cross section of the guide flow dividing groove 13 is in V-shaped structure, and the guide flow dividing groove 13 is used to guide and convey the chips into the chip flute 11, so that the chips can smoothly enter the chip flute 11, and the chips are prevented from being accumulated to interfere with the cutting operation.

During the cutting process, the cutting edge 10 will generate heat through friction when it contacts the workpiece. If these heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will not only cause the temperature of the tool to rise, but also cause thermal fatigue and even softening, resulting in thermal deformation or burning of the processed material, thereby affecting the machining precision and surface quality. By providing the liquid injection channel 20 in the tool shank 2, the cooling liquid can be delivered to the liquid outlet hole 14 for discharge, and through the guide effect of the V-shaped guide flow distribution groove 13, not only the heat generated during cutting can be removed, but also the dust and debris generated during cutting can be reduced, thereby improving the safety and cleanliness of the machining environment.
