[0032] One embodiment of this utility model provides a forming tool, referencing... Figures 1 to 6 ,include:

[0033] The tool holder 1 includes a first end 11 and a second end 12 opposite to each other. The tool holder 1 is provided with an opening groove 13, which is opened at the first end 11 and extends obliquely along the axial direction of the tool holder 1.

[0034] The blade part 2 is welded to the opening groove 13. The surface of the blade part 2 is in contact with the groove wall of the opening groove 13. One side of the blade part 2 is sheared to form an oblique shearing end 21, which avoids the oblique side wall of the opening groove 13.

[0035] This embodiment improves the overall strength of the cutting tool and avoids the problem of tool breakage during cutting. The first end 11 of the tool shank 1 is provided with an oblique opening groove 13, and the cutting part 2 is welded into the opening groove 13. The oblique setting of the opening groove 13 allows more of the shank body to remain at the first end 11, thereby improving the cutting strength of the end of the tool shank 1 and preventing breakage during cutting due to the small diameter of the tool shank 1. Furthermore, the bottom end of the cutting part 2 is provided with a shear angle to avoid the shearing angle of the opening groove 13 wall, which allows more of the cutting part 2 to be welded and fitted to the tool shank 1 while ensuring that the wall of the obliquely extending opening groove 13 does not obstruct the installation and fitting of the cutting part 2, thus improving the overall strength of the forming tool.

[0036] Specifically, the first end 11 and the second end 12 of the tool holder 1 are used to mount the tool part 2 and connect to an external cutting drive device, respectively. An opening slot 13 extends obliquely along the axial direction of the tool holder 1. The opening slot 13 is formed at the first end 11 and extends to the side circumferential surface of the tool holder 1. The portion of the opening slot 13 extending to the side circumferential surface of the tool holder 1 is notched to facilitate the installation of the tool part 2. The opening slot 13 is formed at a partial position at the first end 11, allowing a portion of the rod to be retained on the side of the opening slot 13. This obliquely extending opening slot 13 design, compared to a completely cut-off square opening slot 13, allows the first end 11 of the tool holder 1 to retain more of the rod portion, providing greater strength during rotary cutting. Furthermore, the oblique opening slot 13, combined with the oblique shearing end 21 on the tool part 2, not only retains more of the rod but also provides more contact area for the tool part 2, allowing the tool part 2 to better fit with the tool holder 1 during welding, increasing the welding area and improving welding strength. In this embodiment, the shearing end 21 of the blade 2 is angled to avoid the angled sidewall of the opening groove 13, ensuring that the blade 2 is not obstructed by the opening groove 13 during welding, further improving the stability and service life of the tool. Furthermore, the tool holder 1 is made of tungsten steel, which has high hardness and wear resistance, enabling the tool to maintain stability during high-speed cutting even with a small diameter, reducing tool deformation or breakage caused by excessive cutting force.

[0037] Further, refer to Figure 2 The inclined sidewall of the opening groove 13 extends in an arc shape. In this embodiment, the inclined sidewall of the opening groove 13 is designed to be arc-shaped, and the radius of curvature of the arc-shaped inclined sidewall is 40mm. Compared with a straight inclined sidewall, the arc-shaped inclined sidewall can ensure that the tool holder 1 will not break along the connection between the inclined sidewall and the bottom wall, further improving the strength of the tool holder 1. The design of the arc-shaped opening groove 13 can reduce stress concentration and prevent the tool holder 1 from breaking due to stress concentration during the welding and cutting processes. Specifically, the arc-shaped sidewall can evenly distribute the stress during cutting, avoiding cracking of the welded part or the tool holder 1 due to stress concentration.

[0038] Further, refer to Figures 1 to 4The tool holder 1 also has a clearance groove 14 at its first end 11 for discharging machining debris. The clearance groove 14 is located on the same side as the opening groove 13 and communicates with it. The depth of the clearance groove 14 is less than the depth of the opening groove 13. In this embodiment, metal debris is generated during the cutting process. If not discharged, the metal debris will impact the product surface in the opposite direction, causing scratches. The clearance groove 14 is used to discharge the debris generated during processing, preventing debris accumulation from affecting the surface finish of the product. The clearance groove 14 and the opening groove 13 are located on the same side and on the side of the opening groove 13, so that the cutting direction of the tool part 2 in the opening groove 13 is consistent with the opening direction of the clearance groove 14, allowing debris to be discharged smoothly and improving cutting efficiency. The depth of the clearance groove 14 is less than the depth of the opening groove 13, ensuring the structural strength of the tool holder 1 and preventing the strength of the tool holder 1 from being weakened due to the clearance groove 14 being too deep. In this embodiment, the clearance groove 14 is formed downwards along the axis of the tool holder 1 with a length of 4.27 mm. The bottom wall of the clearance groove 14 is spaced 0.25 mm from the bottom wall of the opening groove 13, meaning the depth of the clearance groove 14 is 0.25 mm less than the depth of the opening groove 13. This design ensures the strength of the tool holder 1 while creating a larger clearance groove 14, thus improving chip removal efficiency. Specifically, the design of the clearance groove 14 not only effectively removes chips but also reduces heat accumulation during cutting, preventing tool damage due to overheating. Furthermore, the depth of the clearance groove 14 is reasonably designed, ensuring both smooth chip removal and structural strength of the tool holder 1, avoiding a decrease in the strength of the tool holder 1 due to an excessively deep clearance groove 14.

[0039] Furthermore, the clearance groove 14 extends along the axis of the tool holder 1 and is notched, with an angle greater than 90 degrees between the sidewall and bottom wall of the clearance groove 14. In this embodiment, the notched design of the clearance groove 14 facilitates easier chip removal. The bottom wall of the clearance groove 14 is parallel to the axis of the tool holder 1, and the angle between the sidewall and bottom wall of the clearance groove 14 is greater than 90 degrees. During cutting, metal chips are ejected upwards and strike the sidewall of the clearance groove. Since the sidewall of the clearance groove 14 is inclined to the axis of the tool holder 1, the metal chips are discharged from the clearance groove 14 in an oblique direction, preventing metal chips from impacting the product surface in the opposite direction and improving the smoothness of chip removal. Specifically, the clearance groove 14 is semi-open, allowing chips to be quickly discharged from the clearance groove 14 during cutting, reducing chip accumulation at the corners inside the clearance groove 14, and avoiding increased cutting force or tool damage caused by chip accumulation.

[0040] Further, refer to Figure 3The cutting tool 2 includes a first cutting edge 22, a second cutting edge 23, a third cutting edge 24, a fourth cutting edge 25, and a fifth cutting edge 26 connected in sequence. The first cutting edge 22 and the second cutting edge 23 extend laterally, while the third cutting edge 24, the fourth cutting edge 25, and the fifth cutting edge 26 extend vertically. In this embodiment, the multi-segment cutting edge design of the cutting tool 2 allows the tool to adapt to different cutting requirements. The first cutting edge 22 and the second cutting edge 23 extend laterally and are suitable for transverse cutting, while the third cutting edge 24, the fourth cutting edge 25, and the fifth cutting edge 26 extend vertically and are suitable for vertical cutting. The multi-segment cutting edge design improves the versatility and cutting efficiency of the tool. Specifically, the multiple cutting edges of the cutting tool 2 are connected to form an L-shaped structure, and each cutting edge of the cutting tool 2 extends out of the opening slot 13 so that the cutting edge is not obstructed during rotary cutting.

[0041] Furthermore, the angle between the first cutting edge 22 and the horizontal line is 15 degrees, and the angle between the second cutting edge 23 and the horizontal line is 0.1-0.3 degrees. In this embodiment, the 15-degree angle between the first cutting edge 22 and the horizontal line allows the tool to better penetrate the material during cutting, improving cutting efficiency. The 0.1-0.3-degree angle between the second cutting edge 23 and the horizontal line allows the tool to maintain high precision during cutting, making it easier to cut and form a high-gloss surface. Specifically, the end where the second cutting edge 23 connects to the third cutting edge 24 is higher than the end where the second cutting edge 23 connects to the first cutting edge 22, making the second cutting edge 23 sharper and improving its sharpness, ensuring high precision during cutting.

[0042] Furthermore, the third cutting edge 24 is parallel to the vertical line, the fifth cutting edge 26 has an angle of 30-60 degrees with the vertical line, and the fourth cutting edge 25 connects the third cutting edge 24 and the fifth cutting edge 26, with a rounded corner. In this embodiment, the third cutting edge 24 being parallel to the vertical line ensures the accuracy of vertical cutting. The angle between the fifth cutting edge 26 and the vertical line is 48.6±0.5 degrees, meaning the angle between the fifth cutting edge 26 and the third cutting edge 24 is 131.4±0.5 degrees. This angle can be adjusted as needed, allowing the tool to better adapt to the machining requirements of complex shapes such as conical structures, improving the tool's versatility. The fourth cutting edge 25 connects the third cutting edge 24 and the fifth cutting edge 26, and has a rounded corner with a radius of 0.2±0.03mm, reducing stress concentration, preventing the tool from breaking due to stress concentration during cutting, and improving the tool's service life.

[0043] Further, refer to Figure 5The tool holder 1 has a handle 15 at its first end 11. The handle 15 includes a first segment 151, a second segment 152, a third segment 153, and a fourth segment 154, all with gradually increasing diameters. The first segment 151, second segment 152, third segment 153, and fourth segment 154 are connected sequentially, and each segment has the same axis. The first segment 151 and third segment 153 are cylindrical, the second end 12 and fourth segment 154 are conical, and the fourth segment 154 is connected to the remaining part of the tool holder 1. In this embodiment, the radius of the first segment 151 is 0.9 mm, the second segment 152 is connected to the first segment 151 in an arc transition, the radii of the two ends of the second end 12 are 0.9 mm and 1.49 mm respectively, the radius of the third segment 153 is 1.49 mm, the radii of the two ends of the fourth segment 154 are 1.49 mm and 3 mm, and the radius of the remaining part of the tool holder 1 is 3 mm. A clearance groove 14 and an opening groove 13 are both formed on the handle 15. The diameter of the tool holder 15 gradually increases, which ensures that the connection between the tool shank 1 and the tool part 2 remains small in diameter to process small-sized products, while also ensuring that the other parts of the tool shank 1 have sufficient strength. In addition, the gradual increase in the diameter of the tool holder 15 can also improve the connection strength between the tool and external equipment, preventing the tool from falling off or being damaged due to unstable connection.

[0044] Furthermore, the height from the center of the cutting tool 2 to the center of the tool holder 15 is 3.05mm-3.10mm. In this embodiment, the height from the center of the cutting tool 2 to the center of the tool holder 15 is 3.06mm, allowing the second cutting edge 23 of the cutting tool 2 to extend beyond the opening groove 13 by 0.33mm. This ensures that the cutting tool 2 is welded as close as possible to the groove wall without affecting the cutting edge, improving the welding strength and ensuring the stability of the tool during cutting. When the center height of the cutting tool 2 is greater than 3.1mm, the cutting edge of the cutting tool 2 extends too far, resulting in a reduced welding area and decreased strength. When the center height of the cutting tool 2 is less than 3.05mm, the cutting edge of the cutting tool 2 extends too little, affecting the cutting process. Specifically, the height design between the cutting tool 2 and the tool holder 15 is reasonable, ensuring the stability of the tool during cutting and avoiding uneven cutting force distribution or tool vibration caused by excessive height deviation.

[0045] Furthermore, the cutting tool 2 is made of single-crystal diamond; the tool holder 1 is made of tungsten carbide. In this embodiment, the cutting tool 2 is made of single-crystal diamond, which has extremely high hardness and wear resistance, making it suitable for high-precision cutting. The tool holder 1 is made of tungsten carbide, which has high strength and toughness, can withstand large cutting forces, and prevents the tool from breaking during cutting. Specifically, the single-crystal diamond cutting tool 2 can maintain high hardness and wear resistance during high-speed cutting, making it suitable for high-precision machining. In addition, the combined design of single-crystal diamond and tungsten carbide enables the tool to maintain high stability and service life during high-speed cutting, making it suitable for high-precision and high-efficiency machining requirements.

[0046] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
