Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting tool technology, and more specifically, to a milling tool. Background Technology
[0002] Square shoulder milling cutters are a common type of milling tool, suitable for machining various materials and capable of milling different parts. During milling, the tool generates high temperatures through friction with the workpiece surface. These high temperatures can cause a decrease in the hardness of the tool material, making the cutting edge prone to wear and chipping. This is especially true when milling the sidewalls of cavity parts. In traditional square shoulder milling cutters, the flank face forms a narrow, enclosed space with the workpiece sidewall. In this situation, the coolant sprayed from the tool cannot reach this gap, causing the flank face temperature to rise continuously, ultimately leading to the failure of the flank face before the rake face.
[0003] Invention patent CN117300225B discloses an internally cooled tool holder and a cutting tool, including a tool holder body. The tool holder body has at least three sets of cooling channels and a water channel selection component. The water inlet of each set of cooling channels is located at the end of the tool holder body. The first set of cooling channels is used to cool the front end of the tool holder body and / or the bottom cutting edge of the cutting tool. The second set of cooling channels is used to cool the bottom cutting edge of the cutting tool. The third set of cooling channels is used to cool the side cutting edge of the cutting tool. This solution directly guides the coolant to the bottom and side cutting edges of the cutting tool for cooling. However, when milling the side wall of a cavity part, the coolant cannot enter the gap between the tool's flank face and the workpiece, so the cooling effect of this solution is limited.
