Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of milling cutter technology, specifically a milling cutter used for machining thread grooves. Background Technology

[0002] Thread machining is a process that uses tools for making threads to process workpieces using cutting, turning, milling, grinding, and other techniques. It generally refers to the methods of machining threads on workpieces using forming tools or abrasives, and mainly includes turning, milling, tapping, threading, grinding, lapping, and whirl cutting.

[0003] In existing technologies, such as the thread milling cutter disclosed in CN220445265U, the device uses a threaded hole on the periphery of the bearing housing to position the milling cutter head within the inner diameter of the balls inside the bearing housing via a positioning bolt. This allows the milling cutter head to be detached from the bearing housing, facilitating later replacement and maintenance. Compared to existing methods where the bearing housing is connected to the milling cutter head, this device allows for separate detachment and easier replacement and maintenance. Furthermore, the milling cutter head has positioning grooves on its outer circumference that correspond one-to-one with the outer diameter of the balls inside the bearing housing. Multiple sets of balls engage with the positioning grooves on the outer circumference of the milling cutter head, and the positioning block at the top of the milling cutter head fits tightly against the inner wall of the bearing housing. This makes the connection between the milling cutter head and the bearing housing more stable, compared to existing methods where the milling cutter head contacts the balls inside the bearing housing.

[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the above design has the following problems: the cutting head overheats during the milling process and requires a separate cooling nozzle for cooling, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, a milling cutter for thread groove machining is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a milling cutter for thread groove machining includes a shank 1 and multiple cutter heads 3 disposed at the end of the shank 1. Chip removal grooves 2 are provided between adjacent cutter heads 3. A first fluid passage hole 502 is provided at the axial center of the shank 1. A cooling mechanism 5 for cooling the cutter heads 3 is slidably connected in the first fluid passage hole 502. A fixing groove 601 is provided on the side end of the shank 1. A fixing seat 4 is inserted into the fixing groove 601. A slot 602 is provided in the fixing groove 601. The fixing seat 4 is engaged with the slot 602 by a fixing mechanism 6. The tooth angle formed between adjacent cutter heads 3 is 60°. The surfaces of the cutter heads 3 and the chip removal grooves 2 are coated with an AB coating. The connection area of ​​the 60° tooth angle between the cutter heads 3 is relatively large, and the friction is large, making the connection tight and reliable. The AB coating can improve the strength of the cutter heads 3 and increase their service life.

[0029] Example 2: In addition to all the technical features in Example 1, this example also includes: a cooling mechanism 5 comprising a limiting member 503, a fixing rod 504 fixedly connected to the end of the limiting member 503, a connecting rod 505 fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod 504, a limiting rod 507 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 505, and a receiving plate 508 fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod 507 via a positioning rod. A first liquid passage hole 502 is provided at the center of the handle 1. The limiting member 503, the fixing rod 504, and the limiting rod 507 are all disposed within the first liquid passage hole 502. A bolt 501 is threadedly connected to the side of the handle 1. The end of the bolt 501 contacts the fixing rod 504. The diameter of the limiting rod 507 is the same as the inner diameter of the first liquid passage hole 502. Multiple second liquid passage holes 506 are provided on the surface of the limiting rod 507. The receiving plate 508 has an inner arc-shaped structure.

[0030] In this embodiment, the inner arc-shaped structure of the receiving plate 508 allows the coolant sprayed on its surface to fly out along the angle of the edge of the receiving plate 508, thereby splashing onto the inner wall of the processing tank and the cutting head 3, achieving an effective cooling effect.

[0031] Example 3: In addition to all the technical features in Example 1, this example also includes: a fixing mechanism 6 comprising a lead screw 605, which is rotatably connected to a fixing base 4 and threadedly connected to a slider 604; a pin 603 fixedly connected to the side of the slider 604, which engages with a slot 602; a snap-fit ​​block 608 that engages with a fixing groove 601 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing base 4; a guide plate 607 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing base 4 and is positioned above the slider 604; a hand-tightening component 606 is fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw 605 passing through the fixing base 4, and the surface of the hand-tightening component 606 has an anti-slip ring for easy adjustment.

[0032] During use, adjust bolt 501 to remove its restriction on fixing rod 504. Then, adjust receiving plate 508 to a suitable machining position, allowing the sprayed coolant to flow from the bottom to the sidewall of the machined threaded hole. Tighten bolt 501, bringing it into contact with fixing rod 504 and limiting its position. Coolant will then flow from the first through-hole 502 at the center of fixing seat 4 to the second through-hole 506 within limiting rod 507, and finally spray into receiving plate 508. Receiving plate 508 guides the coolant towards the machined threaded hole and the surface of cutting head 3, achieving effective cooling. The cooling mechanism 5 can be removed from the first liquid passage hole 502 simply by removing the bolt 501. When it is necessary to clamp the tool handle 1, the snap-fit ​​block 608 on the inner wall of the fixing base 4 is aligned with the fixing groove 601 on the surface of the tool handle 1 and inserted. At this time, the hand-tightening component 606 is rotated, which drives the lead screw 605 to rotate. The lead screw 605 is threadedly connected to the slider 604, and the slider 604 is moved laterally by the guide plate 607. The pin 603 fixedly connected to the side of the slider 604 is moved and then inserted into the slot 602, thereby clamping the tool handle 1 to the fixing base 4.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
