Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of milling technology, and in particular relates to a milling cutter. Background Technology
[0002] A reamer is a rotating cutting tool used for milling. A reamer has one or more cutting teeth that sequentially and intermittently remove excess material from the workpiece during operation. Milling cutters are mainly used on milling machines to machine planes, steps, grooves, shaped surfaces, and to cut off workpieces.
[0003] A milling cutter is provided, comprising a shank, a cutter body, and cutting teeth. The cutter body is connected to the shank, and the cutting teeth are disposed on the outer periphery of the cutter body. The cutting teeth have cutting edges on the side facing away from the cutter body. The shank is used to connect to a machine tool, and the machine tool drives the shank to rotate, thereby causing the cutter body to rotate. When the cutter body rotates, the cutting edges of the cutting teeth mill the workpiece, thereby forming a surface of a predetermined shape on the workpiece.
[0004] However, when performing finishing on bosses on a workpiece, existing milling cutters require milling the side of the boss (the surface of the boss facing away from the workpiece body) to finish the side of the boss. An internal radius milling cutter is used to form rounded corners at both ends of the boss (the edges of the end faces of the boss). A chamfering milling cutter is used to form a chamfer between the rounded corners and the workpiece surface (the corner between the end face and the workpiece body) to process the cross-section at both ends of the boss. This requires changing the type of milling cutter multiple times, making the process cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

The second working section 10 is located between the first working section 6 and the second working section 10. The third working section 13 is connected to the shank 1.
[0027] The third working section 13 is used to mill the side of the boss 25 of the workpiece 23, the second working section 10 is used to mill the edge of the first end face 26 of the boss 25 to form a rounded corner, and the first working section 6 is used to mill the first corner of the boss 25 and the workpiece body 24 of the workpiece 23 to form a chamfer.
[0028] Specifically, when finishing the boss 25 on the workpiece 23, the tool holder 1 is connected to the machine tool, so that the milling cutter is located on the side of the workpiece 23 where the boss 25 is located. The machine tool drives the tool holder 1 to rotate, and the tool holder 1 drives the cutter body 2 to rotate. When the cutter body 2 rotates, the third working section 13 mills the side of the boss 25 on the workpiece 23 to improve the accuracy of the side of the boss 25. The second working section 10 cuts the edge of the first end face 26 of the boss 25 to process the edge of the first end face 26 of the boss 25 into a rounded corner.
