[0031] The milling groove forming tool is a milling tool used for grooving or cutting grooves on the surface of a workpiece. The milling groove forming tool is suitable for cutting straight or curved grooves, and is often used for manufacturing various shaped grooves, such as T-shaped grooves, square grooves, V-shaped grooves, etc. The milling groove forming tool is usually used on milling machines, machining centers and other machine tools.

[0032] The existing milling groove forming tool has the problems of large work hardening, adhesion of chips and tool, large cutting force, serious tool wear and poor chip removal when machining titanium alloy and aluminum alloy composite materials, which easily causes the tool to break. In order to solve the above problems, the milling groove forming tool needs to be improved.

[0033] Therefore, the present application provides a milling groove forming tool.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present application, referenceFigures 1 to 5 The milling groove forming tool comprises a shank 1 and a cutting part 2, the cutting part 2 is integrally formed with the shank 1 in a cylindrical structure, the cutting part 2 is provided with a plurality of cutting edges, the cutting edges comprise side edges 201 and end edges 202, the side edges 201 are in a spiral structure and located on the side surface of the cutting part 2, and the end edges 202 are in a linear structure and located on the end surface of the cutting part 2; the number of the cutting edges is four, the four cutting edges are respectively a first cutting edge, a second cutting edge, a third cutting edge and a fourth cutting edge, the angle h between the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge and the angle j between the third cutting edge and the fourth cutting edge are both 97.5°, and the angle i between the second cutting edge and the third cutting edge and the angle k between the fourth cutting edge and the first cutting edge are both 82.5°, so as to improve the distribution of cutting force and the participation sequence of the four cutting edges, thereby inhibiting the chatter in the machining process, improving the machining stability and the workpiece surface quality, and making the tool less likely to wear and break.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 A spiral chip pocket 3 is formed between the plurality of side edges 201, the cross section of the chip pocket 3 is in an arc structure, the cross section of the chip pocket is in an arc structure composed of a circular arc with a radius of 0.5 mm and a circular arc with a radius of 2.0 mm, the arc chip pocket can increase the chip space, prevent chip jamming, and make the chip more easily curl and discharge in the arc chip pocket, thereby reducing chip jamming, reducing cutting resistance, improving tool life, increasing heat dissipation and chip space, and ensuring the rigidity of the tool and the smoothness of chip discharge.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The angle of the helix angle of the side edge 201 is 40°, which can increase the cutting force and upward force of the tool, help to improve chip discharge and machining quality, and also help to improve the durability and machining efficiency of the tool, the contact area of the side edge 201 with the workpiece is increased by increasing the angle of the helix angle, so that the cutting force is uniformly distributed on the cutting edge, thereby reducing the cutting force, which can also improve the service life and machining efficiency of the tool.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 The rake angle s of the side edge 201 is 6°, and the circular arc relief angle m of the side edge 201 is 12°, which can reduce the friction between the tool and the workpiece, reduce the wear rate, and improve the service life and sharpness of the tool; since the material of the workpiece to be machined is mainly titanium alloy + aluminum alloy, the tool cannot be too sharp, and the material also has aluminum alloy, so it cannot be too blunt, therefore, the rake angle of the side edge 201 is 6°, and the circular arc relief angle is 12°.

[0038] Reference Figure 1The intersection of the side edge 201 and the end edge 202 is a tool tip 203, which is in a circular arc structure. The arc-shaped tool tip can reduce tangential force and radial force in machining, thereby reducing frictional resistance of the tool, reducing vibration between the tool and the workpiece, reducing tool wear, and improving machining efficiency. In addition, the arc-shaped tool tip can also reduce the shear stress of the material during machining, reduce the cutting force before machining, and further reduce the deformation of the workpiece.

[0039] With reference to Figure 5 The rake angle of the end edge 202 is 6 degrees, the first relief angle of the end edge 202 is 9 degrees, and the second relief angle of the end edge 202 is 20 degrees. The 6-degree rake angle helps to smoothly discharge the chips, reduces the friction between the chips and the front of the tool, and can ensure that the cutting edge has a certain strength and is not prone to breaking. The first relief angle of 9 degrees can reduce the friction between the rear of the tool and the machined surface of the workpiece. During the milling process, excessive friction between the rear of the tool and the workpiece can be avoided to generate high temperature, thereby reducing the wear of the tool. The second relief angle of 20 degrees is larger than the first relief angle, which can provide more space for the chips, making the chips more easily curled and discharged.

[0040] With reference to Figure 1 The length a of the tool is 59-61 mm, the length b of the cutting part 2 is 17.5-18 mm, the diameter d of the tool handle 1 is 7.993-7.998 mm, the diameter e at the end edge 202 is 5.99-6.01 mm, and the core diameter n in the middle of the cutting edge is 3.66-3.74 mm. The appropriate length and diameter can ensure that the tool has good strength and reduce the possibility of tool breakage.

[0041] With reference to Figure 1 The edge length u of the side edge 201 is 10-10.5 mm, the edge width l of the side edge 201 is 0.95-1.05 mm, the edge length g of the end edge 202 is 1.85-1.95 mm, and the width p of the first relief angle of the end edge 202 is 0.56-0.6 mm. The appropriate edge length range makes the milling cutter adapt to milling within a certain depth range, and the relatively moderate edge length helps to maintain the stability of the milling cutter during machining. The edge width determines the amount of material removed each time, which can control the cutting force while ensuring a certain cutting efficiency. The edge length of 1.85-1.95 mm can effectively cut off the material to form a smooth plane. The appropriate first relief angle width can effectively reduce the friction between the rear of the tool end edge 202 and the machined surface of the workpiece, and improve the surface machining quality.

[0042] With reference to Figure 1, the angle f of the minor flank angle of the tool is 2°, the friction and extrusion between the minor cutting edge of the tool and the machined surface is relatively small, which can effectively reduce the residual area height of the machined surface, so that the machined surface is smoother, a lower surface roughness value is obtained, the small minor flank angle can avoid excessive scratching of the machined surface by the minor cutting edge, and the minor flank angle of 2° provides a relatively smooth channel for the outflow of the chip, so that the chip can be easily discharged from between the tool and the workpiece.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , the surface roughness requirement of the side surface of the tool shank 1 is 0.2 microns, and the circular runout tolerance of the cutting part 2 relative to the side surface of the tool shank 1 is 0.005 mm. During the connection with the main shaft of the machine tool, the higher roughness requirement can realize closer and more accurate fitting, which helps to improve the overall dynamic balance performance of the tool system; the accurate circular runout tolerance can ensure the position accuracy of the cutting edge during rotation, which helps to improve the machining surface quality and also reduces the vibration of the tool during cutting.

[0044] The technical scheme of the present application divides the cutting edge into a first cutting edge, a second cutting edge, a third cutting edge and a fourth cutting edge, wherein the angles between the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge and between the third cutting edge and the fourth cutting edge are both 97.5°, and the angles between the second cutting edge and the third cutting edge and between the fourth cutting edge and the first cutting edge are both 82.5°, so as to improve the distribution of cutting force and the participation sequence of the four cutting edges, thereby suppressing the chatter during machining, improving the machining stability and the workpiece surface quality, and making the tool less likely to wear and break.

[0045] The above is only an optional embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
