Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a modular cutting tool, belonging to the field of machining cutting tool technology. Background Technology
[0002] Twist drills, commonly known as twist drills, are tools used in metal cutting processes. They are tools that drill round holes in workpieces by rotating relative to a fixed axis. They are named for their spiral-shaped chip flutes, resembling a twisted rope. Twist drills can be mounted on manual or electric handheld drilling machines, drilling machines, milling machines, lathes, and even machining centers. The drill bit materials are generally high-speed tool steel or cemented carbide. Therefore, traditional metal cutting drill bits are commonly referred to as high-speed steel twist drills or cemented carbide twist drills.
[0003] In metal cutting processes, high-speed steel twist drills have a shorter lifespan, lower efficiency, and lower precision compared to carbide twist drills. They have been largely replaced by carbide twist drills in demanding applications. Carbide, composed of precious metals like tungsten and cobalt, along with trace amounts of rare elements, is a non-renewable resource. Because solid carbide twist drills are expensive, consume large amounts of carbide material, and have limited application scenarios, their manufacturing and use are extremely costly, especially in large-diameter drilling. Therefore, carbide twist drills are not economically viable for large-diameter, deep-hole machining applications.
[0004] Existing technologies have designed drill bits with replaceable cutting heads, solving problems such as high cost and machining deep holes, and have significant advantages. However, these existing replaceable-head drill bits generally have many problems. For example, when drilling mild steel, titanium, and stainless steel, some split drill bits that rely on deformation clamping are prone to tipping during retraction, leading to damage to the drill rod and thus scrapping high-value parts. Due to the high temperature and high load generated during cutting, the drill rod of split drill bits that rely on deformation clamping reaches its fatigue life limit prematurely, for example, requiring replacement of the cutting head after 10-20 uses. This results in the cutting head not being clamped tightly, affecting drilling accuracy, cutting head life, and machining stability.
[0005] In machining large-diameter deep holes (diameter > 26 mm, depth > 5 times the cutter head diameter), the deeper the hole, the more difficult the cooling becomes, and the less efficient the chip removal. As a result, the machining accuracy of the hole is not high, making it difficult to meet technical requirements and causing low production efficiency. The larger the hole diameter, the more rigidity and strength are required for the connection between the cutter head and the cutter body. The larger the cutter head, the larger the cutter body will also be. The more specifications there are, the more cutter bodies are needed, and the purchase cost of the cutter bodies will also increase. However, within a certain range, using cutter bodies with cutter heads of different diameters can effectively control the purchase cost.
[0006] Chinese patent document CN114131086A discloses a modular tool holder with interchangeable head modules. The head module has a first countersunk hole, a waist-shaped key is engaged in a waist-shaped groove, and the head module and tool body are secured by bolts passing through the first countersunk hole and a fourth positioning hole. This allows multiple tool heads of different diameters to be used on the same tool body, effectively saving costs, and offering high drilling accuracy, long tool head life, high machining stability, and high production efficiency. However, in practical applications, the following problems have been found: the head module and tool body are axially locked, i.e., secured by bolts passing through the first countersunk hole and the fourth positioning hole. However, because the countersunk hole has holes, it is prone to trapping metal chips during use, greatly reducing reliability. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this utility model provides a modular cutting tool, including a tool holder 3, a head module 2 detachably mounted on the tool holder 3, and a cutting head 1 detachably mounted on the head module 2; the head module 2 is provided with a waist-shaped key 21, the waist-shaped key 21 is provided with a locking pin 22, and the locking pin 22 has a pin hole 221; the top end of the tool holder 3 has a waist-shaped groove 37 and a locking pin positioning hole 371 located in the waist-shaped groove 37, and the end of the tool holder 3... A head module mounting hole 39 is provided, communicating with the locking pin positioning hole 371; the waist-shaped key 21 is adapted to the waist-shaped groove 37 and is embedded in the waist-shaped groove 37; the locking pin 22 is adapted to the locking pin positioning hole 371 and is embedded in the locking pin positioning hole 371; the head module mounting hole 39 is adapted to the pin hole 221; the head module 2 and the tool holder 3 are fixed by fasteners passing through the head module mounting hole 39 and the pin hole 221. Optionally, the fasteners can be screws.
[0038] Furthermore, the locking pin 22 has a semi-circular structure. This design increases the thickness of the locking pin 22, improves its structural strength, and prevents breakage, thereby ensuring a secure and reliable lock between the head module 2 and the tool holder 3. The semi-circular structure refers to the locking pin 22 having a cross-section between a semicircle and a full circle.
[0039] Optionally, the bottom surface of the waist-shaped groove 37 is perpendicular to the axis of the tool holder 3. The length of the waist-shaped groove 37 is 0.5 to 0.9 times the diameter of the head of the tool holder 3, the width of the waist-shaped groove 37 is 0.15 to 0.35 times the diameter of the head of the tool holder 3, and the depth of the waist-shaped groove 37 is 0.05 to 0.3 times the diameter of the head of the tool holder 3. If the length and width of the waist-shaped groove 37 are too small, the driving effect will be poor and the positioning will be unstable; if they are too large, the wall thickness will be too thin and easily damaged; if the depth of the waist-shaped groove 37 is too shallow, there will be no positioning effect; if it is too deep, it will increase the processing difficulty and cause waste.
[0040] In some embodiments, the cutter head 1 is provided with a first positioning hole 11, a second positioning hole 12, a first positioning inclined surface 13 located below the first positioning hole 11, and a second positioning inclined surface 14 located below the second positioning hole 12; a first flat surface 18 is provided on one side of the cutter head 1, and a second flat surface 19 is provided on the other side; a first arc-shaped groove 181 is provided on one side of the first flat surface 18, and a second arc-shaped groove 191 is provided on one side of the second flat surface 19; the first positioning hole 11 passes through the first flat surface 18 and the second arc-shaped groove 191, and the second positioning hole 12 passes through the second flat surface 19 and the first arc-shaped groove 181; the first positioning inclined surface 13 and the second positioning inclined surface 14 form a "V" shaped structure; a bottom surface 15 is provided at the bottom of the cutter head 1, and the first positioning inclined surface 13 and the second positioning inclined surface 14 extend to the bottom surface 15.
[0041] Furthermore, the bottom surface 15 is provided with a groove 16, and the top of the blade head 1 is provided with a blade tip 17.
[0042] Optionally, the first positioning hole 11 and the second positioning hole 12, the first flat surface 18 and the second flat surface 19, and the first arc groove 181 and the second arc groove 191 are all arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner about the central axis between the blade tip 17 and the bottom surface 15.
[0043] Optionally, both the first positioning hole 11 and the second positioning hole 12 are countersunk holes. The center distance between the first positioning hole 11 and the second positioning hole 12 is defined as A, the diameter of the cutting head 1 is D, the height of the cutting head 1 is H, the thickness of the cutting head 1 is W, the distance from the center of the positioning hole to the nearest drill tip is X, and the distance from the center of the positioning hole to the nearest positioning inclined surface is Y, satisfying the following relationships: 40%D≤A≤60%D; 60%D≤H≤80%D; 30%D≤W≤50%D; 1.0Y≤X≤1.5Y; the size of the countersunk hole is φ2.0~φ7.0; the size of the countersunk is φ2.5~φ8.0; and the countersunk depth Z satisfies: 10%W≤Z≤40%W.
[0044] In some embodiments, the head module 2 includes a first spiral groove 26 and a mounting portion 25. The mounting portion 25 is located on both sides of the top of the head module 2. A blade 252 is mounted on the mounting portion 25. The mounting portion 25 is provided with a blade mounting hole 251. The blade 252 is provided with a blade hole 253. The blade mounting hole 251 and the blade hole 253 are adapted to each other. The blade 252 is fixedly mounted on the mounting portion 25 by bolts passing through the blade mounting hole 251 and the blade hole 253.
[0045] Optionally, the blade 252 is an ISO standard blade.
[0046] Furthermore, the top of the head module 2 is provided with a mounting groove 27, and fixing blocks 23 are provided on both sides of the mounting groove 27. Each fixing block 23 is provided with a blade mounting hole 231. The two blade mounting holes 231 correspond to the first positioning hole 11 and the second positioning hole 12, respectively. The blade 1 is installed in the mounting groove 27 by screws passing through the two blade mounting holes 231, the first positioning hole 11 and the second positioning hole 12, and abuts against the fixing block 23. Both sides of the mounting groove 27 are provided with inclined surfaces 28. The fixing block 23 is provided with a positioning surface 271 on the side near the mounting groove 27. The two positioning surfaces 271 abut against the first flat surface 18 and the second flat surface 19, respectively. The two inclined surfaces 28 abut against the first positioning inclined surface 13 and the second positioning inclined surface 14, respectively.
[0047] Furthermore, there are two fixing blocks 23 and two positioning surfaces 271. The two positioning surfaces 271 are parallel to each other, and the distance between the two positioning surfaces 271 is equal to the width of the mounting groove 27. The groove width is 5 to 18 mm, and the cutter head 1 can abut against the positioning surface 271 to offset the cutting force.
[0048] Furthermore, the diameter of the head module 2 ranges from 30 mm to 100 mm. For head modules 2 with a diameter of less than 30 mm, due to the small space of the cutting head, only relatively small cutting blades can be used on both sides. However, small cutting blades have poor strength and are prone to breakage, making them practically useless. For cutting heads with a diameter of more than 100 mm, even single cutting blades on both sides are insufficient to meet the drilling requirements.
[0049] Furthermore, the height of the head module 2 is 0.5 to 1.5 times the diameter of the head module 2.
[0050] Furthermore, the cutter head 1 and the head module 2 are in clearance fit, with a clearance range of 0.001 to 0.02 mm on one side.
[0051] During installation, the first positioning bevel 13 and the second positioning bevel 14 on both sides of the cutter head 1 move downwards along the two bevels 28 of the head module 2, placing the cutter head 1 into the mounting groove 27, where it is positioned by the two positioning surfaces 271 and the two bevels 28. Two screws are passed through the two cutter head mounting holes 231 and locked into the first positioning hole 11 and the second positioning hole 12 respectively, thereby installing the cutter head 1 in the mounting groove 27 and abutting against the fixing block 23. Compared to the locking method with one screw, this invention uses two screws to lock the cutter head 1 and the head module 2, providing a very reliable lock. Furthermore, this radial locking method enables quick cutter head changes.
[0052] Therefore, the cutter head provided by this utility model has two positioning holes, and the head module has two cutter head mounting holes corresponding to the two positioning holes. Two screws are passed through the two cutting head mounting holes and locked in the two positioning holes, so that the cutter head is fixed to the head module by the two screws, preventing loosening and ensuring a firm lock. Moreover, each positioning hole can be matched and aligned with each cutting head mounting hole during each installation, resulting in high repeatability of the cutter head and convenient assembly and disassembly. In addition, when the cutter head is installed on the head module, the two "V"-shaped positioning bevels at the bottom of the cutter head abut against the two bevels of the head module, so that the cutter head can achieve V-shaped angle positioning, which is firm and reliable and will not cause the cutter head to shift. Furthermore, each positioning bevel of the cutter head can be matched with each bevel of the head module, making assembly quick and convenient and ensuring the assembly efficiency of the cutter head and head module.
[0053] In some embodiments, the tool holder 3 includes a clamping portion 38, which is a cylinder. A clamping plane 31 is formed on the cylindrical surface of the clamping portion 38. One end of the clamping portion 38 is provided with an abutment portion 34. The end of the abutment portion 34 away from the clamping portion 38 is provided with a connecting portion 35. At least one second spiral groove 36 is formed on the surface of the connecting portion 35. The clamping portion 38, the abutment portion 34 and the connecting portion 35 have the same axis. A groove 33 is also provided between the abutment portion 34 and the clamping portion 38. The outer diameter of the groove 33 is smaller than the outer diameter of the clamping portion 38. The outer diameter of the abutment portion 34 is larger than the outer diameter of the clamping portion 38. The outer diameter of the abutment portion 34 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the connecting portion 35.
[0054] In this embodiment, the clamping part 38 is fixed to a handheld drilling tool, drilling machine, milling machine, lathe or machining center through the clamping plane 31 and the slot 33. The abutment part 34 can make the clamping part 38 more secure and tight, enhance the impact resistance of the connecting part 35, and make the connecting part 35 less prone to deformation.
[0055] Furthermore, one end of the second spiral groove 36 extends to the end of the connecting portion 35 near the abutment portion 34, where the spiral angle of the second spiral groove 36 is 0° to 20°; the other end of the second spiral groove 36 extends to the top of the connecting portion 35 and intersects with the first spiral groove 26 on the head module 2, where the spiral angle of the second spiral groove 36 is 20° to 60°. This design prevents chips generated during cutting from getting stuck on the fixing block 23. The head of the fixing block 23 is tilted, which ensures the cutting angle and facilitates the transport of chips to the first spiral groove 26 and the second spiral groove 36. During the cutting process, the movement direction of the chips in the first spiral groove 26 and the second spiral groove 36 changes, making it easier for the chips to break and be discharged.
[0056] Furthermore, an internal cooling hole 372 is provided in the waist-shaped groove 37, and a through hole 32 is provided inside the tool holder 3. The through hole 32 extends to the bottom end of the clamping part 38 and is connected to the internal cooling hole 372. The head module 2 is provided with a number of cooling holes 24, and the internal cooling hole 372 is connected to the number of cooling holes 24.
[0057] In this embodiment, coolant flows through the through hole 32. The coolant enters from the through hole 32 and the internal cooling hole 372 into several cooling holes 24 of the head module 2, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the head module 2 and the cutter head 1. The cooling effect is good, the coolant flow is stable, and the debris is more easily discharged out of the hole along with the coolant.
[0058] Optionally, the diameter of the through hole 32 is 0.1 to 0.4 times the diameter of the head of the tool bar 3, and the head of the tool bar 3 is the end of the connecting part 35 near the head module 2.
[0059] Furthermore, the waist-shaped groove 37 of the tool holder 3 and the waist-shaped key 21 of the head module 2 are in clearance fit, with a clearance range of 0.001 to 0.02 mm on one side; the depth of the waist-shaped groove 37 is 0.5 to 1 mm deeper than the height of the waist-shaped key 21.
[0060] Furthermore, the head module 2 is an intermediate connecting part between the cutter head 1 and the tool holder 3, and the head module 2 is a modular design. The diameter of the head module 2 is 1 to 1.1 times the diameter of the head of the tool holder 3. Within this range, the size of the waist key 21 of the head module 2 is exactly the same. This allows multiple cutter heads 1 of different diameters to be used on the same tool holder 3, thereby effectively saving costs, and achieving high drilling accuracy, long cutter head service life, high processing stability, and high production efficiency. When installing the head module 2, the waist-shaped key 21 is placed into the waist-shaped groove 37, and the side of the keyway is used for positioning. The bottom surface of the head module 2 is in contact with the top surface of the tool holder 3. The locking pin 22 is adapted to the locking pin positioning hole 371 and is embedded in the locking pin positioning hole 371. The head module mounting hole 39 is adapted to the pin hole 221. The head module 2 and the tool holder 3 are fixed by screws passing through the head module mounting hole 39 and the pin hole 221, so that the connection between the head module 2 and the tool holder 3 has very good strength and rigidity. ISO standard inserts 252 are installed on the mounting parts 25 on both sides of the head module 2, and replaceable tool heads 1 are installed on the mounting groove 27 above the head module 2. The first spiral groove 26 and the second spiral groove 36 can effectively ensure chip removal, and the several cooling holes 24 on the head module 2 can provide good cooling, thereby achieving high precision and high efficiency machining of large-diameter deep holes.
[0061] In summary, compared to the axial locking method used in the prior art between the head module and the tool holder, the modular tool provided by this utility model uses a radial locking method between the head module and the tool holder. Specifically, the waist-shaped key 21 is adapted to the waist-shaped groove 37, and the waist-shaped key 21 is embedded within the waist-shaped groove 37. The locking pin 22 is adapted to the locking pin positioning hole 371, and the locking pin 22 is embedded within the locking pin positioning hole 371. The head module mounting hole 39 is adapted to the pin hole 221. The head module 2 and the tool holder 3 are fixed by a screw passing through the head module mounting hole 39 and the pin hole 221 in a radial locking manner. This radial method eliminates the need for a countersunk hole in the head module 2, thus avoiding the problem of metal chips getting stuck in the countersunk hole and greatly improving the reliability of the tool. Furthermore, this radial locking method improves the ease of disassembly and assembly between the head module 2 and the tool holder 3, and improves the positioning accuracy when the head module 2 is installed on the tool holder 3; the locking pin 22 is a semi-circular structure, the thickness of the locking pin 22 is increased, the structural strength of the locking pin 22 is improved, and its breakage is prevented, thereby ensuring the firmness and reliability of the locking between the head module 2 and the tool holder 3.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
