[0017] Example 1
[0018] As shown in Figs. 1-2
[0019] The tap of the screw and cutting different direction includes handle 1, the front end of handle 1 is equipped with cutting part 2, specifically, handle 1 and cutting part 2 are integrally processed by a high-speed rigid material round bar, the front end of cutting part 2 is blade part 3, further, in order to gradually thread the preformed hole, ensure the processing stability and processing quality, the front end of blade part 3 is circular truncated cone, the side wall of blade part 3 is equipped with helical cutting edge 31 in the form of spiral, specifically, the direction of rotation of helical cutting edge 31 is right helical rising from the front end of blade part 3, then when processing, it is counterclockwise feeding (with the basis of looking from front to back); more specifically, helical cutting edge 31 is divided into front blade 311 and rear blade 312, front blade 311 directly participates in cutting material, and forms the main part of thread; rear blade 312 assists front blade 311 to complete cutting, and helps to discharge chip; further, three cutting grooves 5 in the form of circular array are arranged on the front end of blade part 3, the front end of each cutting groove 5 forms bottom cutting edge 32, which is used for cutting the bottom of the preformed hole, so as to ensure that the tap feeds smoothly; further, in order to facilitate chip removal and cutting guide, each cutting groove 5 is communicated with a right helical chip removal groove 4, the direction of rotation of chip removal groove 4 is consistent with the direction of rotation of helical cutting edge 31, the setting direction of cutting groove 5 and the setting direction of chip removal groove 4 form an angle of 15° in the vertical plane direction, and the groove depth of cutting groove 5 is greater than the groove depth of chip removal groove 4, the top of the two is smoothly arranged, the connection between cutting groove 5 and chip removal groove 4 forms an edge, that is, chip breaking edge 6, the chip breaking edge 6 is deviated, and the deviation of chip breaking edge 6 is left.
[0020] Through the scheme, the cutting groove 6 and the chip removal groove 4 in the form of spiral structure are arranged in a staggered manner, and the connection between the two forms an edge, that is, the chip breaking edge 6, and through the deviated arrangement of the chip breaking edge 6, the accumulation and adhesion caused by bottom cutting can be cut, the influence on cutting is effectively reduced, and the cutting efficiency and thread quality are ensured.
[0021] Embodiment 2
[0022] The structure of the tap of the right-handed left-cut type in embodiment 1 is the same, and the difference lies in that the direction of rotation of helical cutting edge 31 is left helical rising from the front end of blade part 3, the direction of rotation of chip removal groove 4 is also left, and the deviation of chip breaking edge 6 is right.
[0023] Through the scheme, the direction of rotation and the direction of cutting are changed at the same time, that is, the tap of the left-handed right-cut type is formed, which can thread in the clockwise direction when processing, and effectively expands the application range.
[0024] The working mode of the device is:
[0025] Before use, according to the desired tapping standard, select the tap with corresponding specification of cutting part 2, then the handle 1 is fixed in the existing equipment clamping seat, the pre-made hole on the workpiece is aligned with the cutting part 2, the existing equipment is started to make the helical cutting edge 2 begin to rotate counterclockwise, when the bottom cutting edge 32 is in contact with the pre-made hole and is extruded, the hole is expanded to the standard specification, continue to feed, the left edge of the helical front blade 311 begins to cut the side wall of the pre-made hole, the main part of the thread is processed by rotating cutting, the rear blade 312 assists the front blade 311 to complete the cutting, the above-mentioned cutting produces strip-shaped debris accumulated in the helical-shaped chip groove 6 and is discharged with rotation.
[0026] If the bottom debris is accumulated to a certain extent in the cutting groove 5 during tapping, the debris will be pushed to the travel route of the chip breaking blade 6, and then the accumulated debris is cut off with the rotation of the chip breaking blade 6, effectively solving the accumulation and adhesion of the debris, and the cut-off debris falls into the chip groove 4 and is discharged.
