[0033] Example 1
[0034] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, a milling insert includes an insert body 10, the insert body 10 includes a first end surface 40, a second end surface 41, a long peripheral side surface 42 and a short peripheral side surface 47, one end of the insert body 10 is a working end, the other end is a non-working end, the working end is provided with a rake surface 31, an angular cutting edge 20 and a main cutting edge 21;
[0035] The rake surface 31 is provided with a chip pocket, the rake surface 31 extends outward at a preset angle and intersects with the short peripheral side surface 47 to form the main cutting edge 21 and a plurality of angular cutting edges 20; the main cutting edge 21 is connected with a sub-cutting edge 23 through a circular arc 22; the rake surface 31 includes a first rake surface 31a and a second rake surface 31b, the first rake surface 31a and the second rake surface 31b are inclined to each other; the first rake surface 31a, the second rake surface 31b and the chip pocket are connected in sequence along the central direction of the insert body 10; as Figure 7 shown, F1 is the force direction of the main cutting edge 21, F2 is the direction of the chip pocket, the cross-sectional direction of the chip pocket is consistent with the force direction of the main cutting edge 21, that is, the direction of the chip pocket is parallel to the main cutting edge 21.
[0036] In this embodiment, the two positioning surfaces on the first end surface 40 and the second end surface 41 are parallel and perpendicular to the central axis and the peripheral side surface of the insert body 10, the geometric center of the insert body 10 is provided with an insert positioning hole 50, the insert positioning hole 50 penetrates the flat positioning surface area provided on the first end surface and the flat positioning surface area provided on the second end surface. The main cutting edge 21 is parallel to and higher than the positioning surface, the highest point of the angular cutting edge 20 is collinear with the main cutting edge 21, the sub-cutting edge 23 extends towards the positioning surface and ends below the positioning surface. The main cutting edge 21, the angular cutting edge 20, the sub-cutting edge 23 and the rake surface 31 on the same surface are all center-symmetric. The main cutting edge 21 and the sub-cutting edge 23 are straight lines, the included angle between the main cutting edge 21 and the sub-cutting edge 23 is an acute angle, and the specific angle is 32°, which can ensure the cutting precision and processing efficiency, and the main cutting edge 21 and the sub-cutting edge 23 are connected through the circular arc 22, which is not easy to damage the workpiece.
[0037] The corner cutting edge 20 and the main cutting edge 21 are approximately two-thirds the length of the short circumferential side. The cutting edges of the corner cutting edge 20 and the main cutting edge 21 extend along the direction of the secondary cutting edge 23 to the edge of the long circumferential side. The cutting edge 30 of the secondary cutting edge 23 extends a certain distance along one end of the long circumferential side. Under machining conditions such as ramp milling and helical milling, they can still maintain a good cutting state, thus better realizing ramp milling and helical milling. The main cutting edge 21, the secondary cutting edge 23, and the corner cutting edge 20 are all concentrated on one side of the short circumferential side 47. The rake face 31 includes a first rake face 31a and a second rake face 31b. The first rake face 31a and the second rake face 31b are inclined to each other. More precisely, the rake face 31 is composed of two single surfaces at different angles, or it can be a combination of curved surfaces or multiple curved surfaces and planes. This structure results in a more balanced stress distribution.
[0038] In this embodiment, the blade body 10 has a double-sided four-blade structure. When the blade body 10 is assembled and installed with the cutter head, and the cutter head is positioned above the blade, the clearance surface 45 is in a clearance state, and the other end of the short-circuit side surface 47 serves as a positioning surface.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the outline projection of the blade body 10 is hexagonal; the long side surface 42 is defined in the long direction of the outline, and the short side surface 47 is defined in the short direction. A clearance surface 45 is defined on the short side surface 47 near the blade tip, and a short side positioning surface 47 is defined near the secondary blade tip 24. The short side cutting edge is distributed at a certain angle by the clearance surface 45 and the short positioning surface with the axis C as the line of symmetry. The short side cutting edge is the cutting edge located on the short side surface 47. Specifically, the angle range can be set to 140° to 160°. Under the condition of balancing the effective depth of cut and the principal cutting edge angle, the angle can be set to 150°. The angle joint is connected by an arc surface 46. To ensure the strength of the arc surface 46, the arc size can be set to the range of R5 to R8, with R6 being the optimal arc radius.
[0041] The groove shape of the insert body 10 consists of two uniform rake faces 31 formed by two different rake angles. Specifically, the rake face 31 has an arc-shaped groove 32, i.e., a chip groove, in the flat area near the positioning surface and 0.1 to 0.2 mm below the flat surface. If this range is too small, it may change the chip shape; if it is too large, it may cause the cutting flow direction to become uncontrollable. Specifically, the inclined surface connecting the arc-shaped groove 32 intersects the flat surface to form an intersection line 33, such as... Figure 1As shown, the intersecting line 33 is at a 15° angle to the axis A, passes through the two positioning surfaces, and is parallel to the clearance surface 45 where the main cutting edge 21 is located. The perpendicular distance between the intersecting line 33 and the axis B of the insert positioning hole on the same plane is 0.25 to 0.45 mm. This range ensures an effective groove depth when the rake angle is determined. In addition, it ensures that the contact surface between the flat positioning surface and the tool groove is not too small. Otherwise, the sharpness of the insert will deteriorate, the cutting performance of the insert will weaken, or the positioning will not be stable, causing cutting vibration. Specifically, the cross-section of the groove is perpendicular to the intersecting line 33 and extends to the circumferential surface with the intersecting line 33 as the vector direction. Thus, the uniform rake face 31 is completely formed.
[0042] The groove direction of the rake face 31 is completely consistent with the force direction of the principal cutting edge angle. The cross-sectional dimensions of each section perpendicular to the principal cutting edge angle are the same. This structure has a positive effect on the flow of chips and is also conducive to the uniform distribution of cutting load. At the same time, it reduces cutting vibration and improves the service life of the insert. By optimizing the groove shape, the cutting force is optimized and evenly distributed, and the insert body 10 can achieve the optimal working state during the machining process.
[0043] Example 3
[0044] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the cross-sectional direction of the rake face 31 intersects with the short-circuit side surface 47 to naturally form a corner cutting edge 20 and a main cutting edge 21. Specifically, the rake face 31 is composed of a first rake face 31a and a second rake face 31b. The first rake angle α of the first rake face 31a, which is closer to the main cutting edge 21, ranges from 15° to 20°. The second rake angle β of the second rake face 31b, which is closer to the flat surface of the positioning surface, ranges from 20° to 25°, and α < β. The distance of the first rake angle α must be greater than the distance of the second rake angle β. This method can better balance the sharpness and strength of the insert body 10. Looking directly at the short-circuit side surface 47, the main cutting edge 21 and the first rake face 31a intersect with the short-circuit side surface 47 to form a corner cutting edge 20 and a main cutting edge 21. The flat surface of the end face 40 is parallel, and the main cutting edge 21 is inclined at a certain angle towards the positioning surface. The secondary cutting edge 23 and the rake face 31 are smoothly transitioned through the curved surface to form the secondary tip 24. This area participates in the important work of ramp milling and helical milling. The point where the main cutting edge 21 and the first rake face 31a meet is set as a flat cutting edge 30. The preferred value range of the cutting edge 30 is 0.1 to 0.025 mm. Alternatively, a combination of flat cutting edge 30 and negative chamfer can be selected according to complex working conditions. The cutting edge 30 extends from the starting point of the meeting point to the position of the secondary tip 24.
[0045] In this embodiment, the blade body 10 is made of cemented carbide powder, but it can also be made of other materials.
[0046] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present application are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the implementation modes of the present application. For those skilled in the art, on the basis of the above-described description, other different forms of changes or variations can also be made. Here, it is not necessary and also impossible to exhaust all the implementation modes.
