[0034] The damping spring 2 and the pressing spring 5 are made of stainless steel material, the fatigue resistance of the damping spring 2 and the pressing spring 5 is improved, and the service life of the damping spring 2 and the pressing spring 5 is prolonged.
[0035] The outer wall of the friction block 3 is annularly distributed with a plurality of placing grooves, a plurality of friction plates 4 are slidingly installed in the inner cavities of the plurality of placing grooves, the side, away from the sliding block 7, of the plurality of friction plates 4 is curved, and the curvature of the side, away from the sliding block 7, of the plurality of friction plates 4 is the same as the curvature of the friction block 3, wherein the plurality of placing grooves are uniformly and annularly distributed along the outer wall of the friction block 3, the side, away from the sliding block 7, of the plurality of friction plates 4 is completely attached to the inner wall of the accommodating groove in the initial state (before the milling cutter body 1 is used), the contact area of the friction plate 4 and the accommodating groove is increased, and the friction force between the friction block 3 and the inner wall of the accommodating groove and the vibration suppression effect of the friction block 3 on the milling cutter body 1 are improved when the friction block 3 slides up and down.
[0036] The friction block 3 and the friction plate 4 are made of carbon fiber reinforced resin material, the friction coefficient of the friction block 3 and the friction plate 4 and the friction block 3 and the friction plate 4 and the wear resistance of the friction block 3 and the friction plate 4 are improved, and the service life of the friction block 3 and the friction plate 4 is prolonged.
[0037] The plurality of placing grooves are away from the inner wall of the opening end thereof and are provided with sliding grooves, a sliding block 7 fixedly connected with the side wall of the friction plate 4 is slidingly installed in the inner cavities of the plurality of sliding grooves, wherein the sliding groove can limit the sliding track of the sliding block 7, so that the sliding block 7 moves along the radial direction of the friction block 3, and the stability of the friction plate 4 is improved.
[0038] The other two sides of the sliding block 7 are fixedly installed with guide blocks 6, and the inner wall of the sliding groove is provided with guide grooves matched with the guide blocks 6, so that the sliding track of the sliding block 7 can be further limited through the cooperation of the guide groove and the guide block 6, and the left and right shaking of the sliding block 7 during movement is prevented.
[0039] Through the understanding of the prior art by the applicant, after the milling cutter body 1 is used for a long time, the long-time up-and-down sliding of the friction block 3 causes the wear of the outer wall of the friction block 3 and the side of the friction plate 4 away from the sliding block 7 and the inner wall of the accommodating groove, causing the gap between the outer wall of the friction block 3 and the side of the friction plate 4 away from the sliding block 7 and the inner wall of the accommodating groove, and reducing the friction between the outer wall of the friction block 3 and the side of the friction plate 4 away from the sliding block 7 and the inner wall of the accommodating groove, so that the vibration energy generated by the milling cutter body 1 is converted into heat energy with reduced efficiency, and the friction block 3 cannot effectively suppress the vibration generated by the milling cutter body 1.
[0040] In order to solve the above technical problems, when the milling cutter body 1 rotates at high speed, the sliding block 7 and the friction plate 4 move towards the inner wall of the accommodating groove under the action of centrifugal force at this time, the side of the friction plate 4 away from the sliding block 7 exerts a greater pressure on the inner wall of the accommodating groove, and is closely attached to the inner wall of the accommodating groove, thereby increasing the friction between the side of the friction plate 4 away from the sliding block 7 and the inner wall of the accommodating groove, thereby increasing the efficiency and stability of the vibration energy generated by the milling cutter body 1 being converted into heat energy, so that the friction block 3 can effectively suppress the vibration generated by the milling cutter body 1, improve the precision of the milling cutter body 1 when machining workpieces, and reduce the adverse effects of subsequent use of the milling cutter body 1.
[0041] The friction plate 4 and the sliding block 7 form a compensation part, which is used to compensate the gap between the outer wall of the friction block 3 and the inner wall of the accommodating groove, and can maintain the friction between the friction block 3 and the inner wall of the accommodating groove when the friction block 3 slides up and down.
[0042] The plurality of sliding grooves are fixedly installed with extrusion springs 8 away from the inner wall of the opening end thereof, one end of the extrusion spring 8 is fixedly connected with one end of the sliding block 7, and when the side of the friction plate 4 away from the sliding block 7 is flush with the outer wall of the friction plate 4, the extrusion spring 8 is in a compressed state, at this time, the extrusion spring 8 can always exert a pushing force on the friction plate 4 towards the inner wall of the accommodating groove, so that the friction plate 4 can also be in contact with the inner wall of the accommodating groove when the friction block 3 is in a static state, thereby limiting the friction block 3, avoiding the milling cutter body 1 exerting a greater pressure on the damping spring 2 and the pressing spring 5 in a static state, avoiding the damping spring 2 and the pressing spring 5 being subjected to extrusion by the friction block 3 for a long time and being fatigued, and further improving the service life of the damping spring 2 and the pressing spring 5.
[0043] Through the understanding of the prior art by the applicant, the milling cutter body 1 is in a static state or a high-speed rotating state, the extrusion spring 8 always exerts a pushing force on the sliding block 7, the extrusion spring 8 is always in a compressed state, and the extrusion spring 8 is prone to fatigue and local stress after a long time, and the extrusion spring 8 is prone to breakage. If the extrusion spring 8 breaks, the sliding block 7 cannot exert a pushing force, when the milling cutter body 1 is in a static state, one side of the friction plate 4 cannot be tightly attached to the inner wall of the accommodating groove, the damping spring 2 and the pressing spring 5 are subjected to extrusion by the friction block 3 for a long time, and fatigue occurs, when the milling cutter body 1 rotates quickly, the damping spring 2 and the pressing spring 5 cannot rebound and extend in time, and the sensitivity of the friction block 3 to slide up and down is reduced, thereby reducing the vibration suppression effect on the milling cutter body 1.
[0044] In order to solve the above technical problems, the inner cavities of the plurality of sliding grooves are fixedly installed with a plurality of limiting strips 9 on both sides along the movable direction, both sides of the plurality of sliding blocks 7 are symmetrically provided with sliding grooves, the inner cavities of the plurality of sliding grooves are slidably installed with sliding plates 11, the inner walls of the sliding grooves are fixedly installed with return springs 10 connected to one side of the sliding plates 11, one side of the sliding plates 11 is fixedly installed with a plurality of clamping strips 12 matched with the limiting strips 9, the limiting strips 9 are obliquely arranged near one side of the sliding groove opening end, and the clamping strips 12 are obliquely arranged away from one side of the friction plate 4. The distance between the adjacent two clamping strips 12 is the same as the distance between the adjacent two limiting strips 9, when the milling cutter body 1 rotates at high speed, the friction plate 4 and the sliding block 7 move towards the inner wall of the accommodating groove due to the large centrifugal force acting on the sliding block 7 and the friction plate 4, the clamping strips 12 move with the sliding block 7, at this time, the inclined end of the clamping strip 12 is in contact with the outer wall of the limiting strip 9, and the limiting strip 9 extrudes the clamping strip 12, at this time, the sliding plate 11 moves away from the limiting strip 9, and the return spring 10 is compressed, until the clamping strip 12 is separated from the limiting strip 9, so that the sliding block 7 moves towards the inner wall of the accommodating groove under the action of the centrifugal force, until the outer wall of the friction plate 4 is attached to the inner wall of the accommodating groove, at this time, the plurality of clamping strips 12 move between the adjacent two limiting strips 9, and the return spring 10 converts the stored elastic potential energy into the kinetic energy of the sliding plate 11, so that the clamping strip 12 moves between the adjacent two limiting strips 9, so as to limit the movement of the friction plate 4, when the milling cutter body 1 is in a static state, the outer wall of the friction plate 4 can be tightly attached to the inner wall of the accommodating groove, avoiding the fatigue of the damping spring 2 and the pressing spring 5 caused by the long-time extrusion of the friction block 3, further improving the service life of the damping spring 2 and the pressing spring 5, improving the sensitivity of the friction block 3 to slide up and down, and improving the vibration suppression effect on the milling cutter body 1.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, the spirit and principles of the present application, made any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
