Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to tool technology field, especially in a kind of compound milling cutter. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of mechanical processing, milling is a widely used machining process, which is used for shaping and surface processing of various materials. With the continuous development of manufacturing industry, the shape and precision of parts are increasingly improved, and the performance and function diversity of milling cutter, as the key tool for milling, are particularly important.
[0003] In traditional milling, different types of milling cutters are usually needed for different machining requirements, such as face milling, arc face milling and arc milling. For example, face milling generally uses face milling cutters, which are designed to efficiently process flat surfaces; arc face milling often uses ball nose milling cutters or end milling cutters to adapt to complex surface machining; arc milling requires specific arc milling cutters to achieve precise arc contour machining.
[0004] The use of such single-function milling cutters has many drawbacks:
[0005] Frequent tool replacement: In a machining task that includes multiple milling requirements, operators need to frequently replace different types of milling cutters, which not only increases auxiliary processing time and reduces production efficiency, but also may cause machining precision deviation due to frequent tool replacement.
[0006] High tool management cost: Enterprises need to stock a large number of different types of milling cutters to meet various machining requirements, which not only occupies a large amount of funds and storage space, but also increases the difficulty of tool management. In addition, the specifications and models of different tools are numerous, which may cause confusion during storage and retrieval, leading to incorrect use of tools and affecting processing quality.
[0007] Consistency of machining precision is difficult to guarantee: The manufacturing precision and wear characteristics of different tools differ. Frequent replacement of tools for different types of milling machining may make it difficult to guarantee the precision consistency of each machined surface. For example, when machining a part with a flat surface, an arc surface and an arc transition, due to changes in cutting force, tool radius compensation and other factors of different tools, unevenness and size deviation may occur at the junction of different machined surfaces.
[0008] In summary, it is of great significance to develop a compound special milling cutter that can efficiently integrate face milling, arc face milling and arc milling functions, and is easy to operate and has high machining precision, to solve the many problems existing in current milling machining and meet the higher requirements of modern manufacturing industry for processing efficiency and precision.
