Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining tools, specifically, to a boring tool for machining deep holes in steel pipes. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the coal mining machinery and engineering machinery manufacturing industries, hydraulic cylinders, as key components, have seen their cylinder bore machining quality, efficiency, and cost control become a major focus of the industry. The stability and efficiency of deep hole boring tools directly affect the production efficiency and product quality of hydraulic cylinders. Currently, deep hole boring tools need to increase the tool tip angle to improve machining efficiency while ensuring tool stability. Simultaneously, positive rake angle inserts are required to reduce cutting forces; and to reduce the surface roughness after boring, the tool tip radius needs to be increased and the secondary cutting edge angle reduced. Furthermore, the tools must accommodate larger machining allowances and meet machining economic requirements. However, existing deep hole boring tools often suffer from poor balance between machining stability and economy, making it difficult to meet the high requirements of machining the inner bore of hydraulic cylinders.
[0003] Patent application CN118808695A discloses a boring tool and a boring method. The boring tool includes a front guide positioning structure, a cutting component, a tool body, and a tool setting assembly. The tool setting assembly is fitted onto the front guide positioning structure to determine the cutting diameter. The cutting component is housed within the tool body, and the cutting diameter is adjusted by an adjusting locking assembly located within the tool body. In practice, the height of the cutting component is first adjusted according to the tool setting assembly. After removing the tool setting assembly, the first boring operation is performed. A different sized tool setting assembly is then used to adjust the cutting component height again. After removing the tool setting assembly, the second boring operation is performed. Another sized tool setting assembly is used to adjust the cutting component height again. After removing the tool setting assembly, the boring is performed to the final size. This boring tool enables fast and precise tool setting with an adjustable boring tool, solving the problem of increased tool tip rotation diameter due to radial runout and deflection, and enabling precision boring. However, this boring tool is not suitable for machining the inner bore of hydraulic cylinder barrels with large depths of cut. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to improve machining stability and efficiency, reduce machining costs, and withstand the large impact forces during deep hole boring of steel pipes, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a boring tool for deep hole machining of steel pipes, including a tool holder and an indexable insert. One end of the tool holder is provided with a positioning groove for mounting the indexable insert. The front end of the positioning groove is provided with a first notch and a second notch. The first notch is used for the secondary cutting edge of the indexable insert to extend out of the positioning groove, and the second notch is used for the main cutting edge of the indexable insert to extend out of the positioning groove.
[0005] The main cutting edge forms an angle of 50 to 60 degrees with the side of the tool holder.
[0006] Based on the above, the indexable insert is provided with a first blade back angle and a second blade back angle at the blade tip, the main cutting edge, and the secondary cutting edge, respectively. The first blade back angle and the second blade back angle are connected. The angle of the first blade back angle is 1 degree to 5 degrees, and the angle of the second blade back angle is 7 degrees to 11 degrees.
[0007] Based on the above, in order to improve the chip breaking effect, ensure that the chips do not wrap around the tool holder and do not affect the accuracy of the bored hole, the indexable insert is also provided with a chip breaking groove formed by molding.
[0008] Based on the above, in order to balance the sharpness of the cutting edge and the impact resistance, and to facilitate the manufacture of indexable inserts, the chip breaker groove is a U-shaped chip breaker groove, wherein the shape and number of the chip breaker groove can be adjusted to match the corresponding material being processed.
[0009] Based on the above, in order to facilitate clamping, the sidewall of the positioning groove is formed with a blade positioning slope with an inclination angle of 7 to 11 degrees.
[0010] Based on the above, in order to avoid interference during the machining of the workpiece, the front end of the tool holder is provided with a first clearance bevel and a second clearance bevel for avoiding the indexable insert.
[0011] Based on the above, in order to facilitate installation and replacement, a threaded hole is provided in the positioning groove, and a blade fixing hole is provided on the indexable blade. A fastening screw is provided in the blade fixing hole, and the indexable blade is detachably engaged with the blade holder through the fastening screw.
[0012] Based on the above, the tool holder is provided with a tool holder fixing hole for connecting the boring bar.
[0013] Based on the above, in order to improve machining efficiency, a plurality of tool holders are evenly spaced on one end of the boring bar, and each tool holder is equipped with an indexable insert. The cutting edge of the indexable insert is treated with a negative chamfer of 0° to 20°.
[0014] Based on the above, the indexable insert is an equilateral hexagonal indexable coated insert with six cutting edges.
[0015] This utility model has substantial features and progress compared with the prior art. Specifically, the boring tool for deep hole machining of steel pipes provided by this utility model adopts a coated indexable insert, which can adjust the insert material and coating according to the machining object. The insert has a long life and the cutting edge can be replaced by simply loosening the clamping screw after the insert wears out. Especially for deep hole boring, the machining efficiency is high, the continuity is good and the quality stability is good.
[0016] Meanwhile, the cutting edge of the indexable insert is designed to be molded and has a U-shaped chip breaker groove, thereby balancing the sharpness of the cutting edge and its impact resistance, reducing the cutting force, making it particularly suitable for deep-cut boring, with good chip breaking effect, preventing chips from wrapping around the tool holder, and not affecting the machining accuracy of the bored hole.
[0017] Furthermore, the boring tool adopts a principal cutting edge angle of 50 to 60 degrees, which can ensure that under the condition of large depth of cut, the contact area between the cutting edge and the workpiece is increased, the cutting force concentration is reduced, the impact resistance of the insert is improved, and the cutting stability is improved.
[0018] Therefore, this boring tool can improve machining stability and efficiency, ensure economy, and is suitable for boring the inner hole of hydraulic cylinder barrel when machining deep holes in steel pipes. Attached Figure Description
