Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tap technology, specifically a tap with a diamond-like coating. Background Technology
[0002] A tap is a cutting tool used for machining internal threads, with grooves along the axial direction. It is also called a screw tap. Taps are classified into straight flute taps, spiral flute taps, and pointed taps (apical taps) according to their shape. They are simple in structure, easy to use, and can be operated manually or on machine tools. They are widely used in production, and for small-sized internal threads, taps are almost the only machining tool.
[0003] Most existing taps with diamond-like carbon coating are one-piece structures. During long-term processing, the tap teeth are prone to excessive wear and need to be replaced. Currently, when replacing a tap, the entire tap must be replaced, not just the tap cutting edge, which leads to a waste of resources. Therefore, this utility model provides a tap with diamond-like carbon coating. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tap with a diamond-like coating, comprising a tap shank, one end of which is fixedly connected to a tap connector, four tap cutting edges being inserted into the outer wall surface of the tap connector via insert blocks, a plurality of slots corresponding to the insert blocks being formed on the outer wall surface of the tap connector, four chip removal grooves being formed on the outer wall surface of the tap connector, a limiting block being provided inside the tap connector, and both the insert block and the limiting block having insertion holes, into which a limiting rod is inserted, one end of which is fixedly connected to a fixing block, and the fixing block and the limiting block being fixedly connected by fastening bolts.
[0008] Preferably, the number of limiting rods is four.
[0009] Preferably, the surface of the chip removal groove is provided with a coolant outlet hole.
[0010] Preferably, a square head is fixedly connected to the other end of the tapered handle.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the tap cutting edge is provided with a DLC coating.
[0012] Preferably, both the taper shank and the square head have coolant guide grooves that communicate with the inside of the tap joint.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a tap with a diamond-like coating, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This diamond-like carbon coated tap is designed with a tap connector, insert blocks, tap cutting edges, slots, chip removal grooves, limit blocks, insertion holes, limit rods, fixing blocks, and fastening bolts. In use, the insert blocks at the bottom of the four tap cutting edges are inserted into the slots on the tap connector, and then the four limit rods at one end of the fixing block are inserted into the insertion holes. Finally, the fastening bolts are screwed into the fixing block and the limit blocks in sequence for fixation. This facilitates the replacement of damaged tap cutting edges and effectively saves costs. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: It includes a taper shank 1, one end of which is fixedly connected to a tap connector 2. Four tap blades 4 are inserted into the outer surface of the tap connector 2 via insert blocks 3. The outer surface of the tap connector 2 has several slots 5 corresponding to the insert blocks 3. Four chip removal grooves 6 are also formed on the outer surface of the tap connector 2. A limiting block 7 is provided inside the tap connector 2. Insertion holes 8 are formed inside both the insert blocks 3 and the limiting blocks 7. Limiting rods 9 are inserted into the insertion holes 8. One end of the limiting rod 9 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 10. The fixing block 10 and the limiting block 7 are fixedly connected by fastening bolts 11. There are four limiting rods 9. Coolant outlet holes 12 are formed on the surface of the chip removal grooves 6. The other end of the handle 1 is fixedly connected to a square head 13. It is configured by the cooperation of tap connector 2, insert block 3, tap blade 4, slot 5, chip removal groove 6, limit block 7, insertion hole 8, limit rod 9, fixing block 10 and fastening bolt 11. When in use, insert blocks 3 at the bottom of the four tap blades 4 are inserted into the slot 5 on the tap connector 2, and then the four limit rods 9 at one end of the fixing block 10 are inserted into the insertion hole 8. Then the fastening bolt 11 is screwed into the fixing block 10 and the limit block 7 in sequence for fixation. This makes it easy to replace the damaged tap blades 4 and effectively saves costs. The surface of the tap blades 4 is coated with DLC. The inside of both the tap handle 1 and the square head 13 is provided with coolant guide grooves that communicate with the inside of the tap connector 2.
