Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to mechanical processing tool technical field, concretely relates to an internal cooling type tool structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] In metal cutting, the severe friction and plastic deformation of the tool and the workpiece will generate a large amount of cutting heat, which will cause the tool material to soften, the coating to peel off, and the thermal cracks to expand, severely shortening the tool life and reducing the machining accuracy. Traditional external cooling (such as spray cooling) cannot effectively reach the cutting area due to the cooling medium, especially in the machining of deep cavities, narrow gaps or difficult-to-machine materials, resulting in cooling lag, insufficient lubrication and other problems. The internal cooling tool directly delivers the cooling medium to the cutting area through the internal channel, which can remove a large amount of cutting heat and cool the cutting edge, significantly improving the thermal management efficiency.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream internal cooling tool mainly has a single straight or spiral channel inside the tool handle and tool head, which delivers the cooling liquid to the vicinity of the tool tip through a high-pressure pump, and sprays it to the cutting area through the front end nozzle for cooling. Some tools have a multi-hole structure on the bottom edge or rake face, which achieves local cooling through jet impact. The cooling medium is concentrated on the rake face or bottom edge, and the side edge and end edge cannot be effectively covered due to structural limitations, resulting in local thermal deformation and blade edge collapse. Moreover, the traditional solution only relies on cooling liquid or gas, which cannot meet the cooling and chip removal requirements. The pure liquid cooling system is prone to channel blockage due to chip adhesion during machining, and the pure gas cooling system has insufficient heat dissipation capacity.

[0004] In addition, the spiral channel of the current internal cooling tool is difficult to machine, and requires separate mold manufacturing and processing tools, which is high in manufacturing cost and low in processing efficiency. Some tools have a multi-hole structure on the bottom edge or rake face, which is machined on the structure of the cutting edge itself, destroying the completeness and rigidity, and greatly reducing the service life of the tool.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides an internal cooling tool structure cooled by dual medium. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0029] Embodiments

[0030] As shown in Figures 1-6 , an internal cooling tool structure includes a tool handle 1 and a tool head 3, and a connecting portion 2 is arranged between the tool handle 1 and the tool head 3.

[0031] A plurality of side edges 31 are spirally arranged on the outer side surface of the tool head 3, and a chip removal groove 32 is arranged between the side edges 31. An end edge 33 is arranged at the end of the tool head 3, and the end edge 33 corresponds to the side edge 31 one by one. The side edge 31 and the end edge 33 cut the side surface of the workpiece through the rotation or linear motion of the tool head 3. The chip removal groove 32 is mainly used for discharging chips to prevent the chips from blocking or scratching the surface of the workpiece.

[0032] The connecting portion 2 is a hollow structure, and a ring-shaped partition plate 22 is arranged in the connecting portion 2. The partition plate 22 divides the inner cavity of the connecting portion 2 into an air cooling cavity 21 on the outer side and a liquid cooling cavity 23 on the inner side. The air cooling cavity 21 is used for storing cooling gas, and the liquid cooling cavity 23 is used for storing cooling liquid.

[0033] An air inlet 24 is provided on the outside of the air-cooled chamber 21. The air inlet 24 is connected to an external high-pressure air tank through an air pipe. The high-pressure air tank supplies cooling gas into the air-cooled chamber 21 through the air pipe. Several air-cooling pipes 25 are provided on one end of the air-cooled chamber 21 near the cutter head 3. The cooling gas in the air-cooled chamber 21 is sprayed out through several air-cooling pipes 25. The cooling gas carries heat and cools down several side cutting edges 31, reducing thermal deformation and thermal wear, and extending the service life of the tool.

[0034] The air inlet 24 is mounted on the air-cooled cavity 21 via a rotating ring, and the air inlet 24 passes through the rotating ring and communicates with the air-cooled cavity 21. Both ends of the rotating ring are rotatably connected to the side walls of the air-cooled cavity 21 via bearings. The bearings are sealed with self-compensating seals to prevent air leakage from the cooling cavity 21. In this embodiment, a wave spring-compensated O-ring seal is preferred. The rotating ring can rotate relative to the air-cooled cavity 21, and the connecting part 2 has an annular partition 22 inside. The two ends of the partition 22 are connected to the side walls of both ends of the connecting part 2, providing support and ensuring the stability of the connecting part 2. When the tool is working, the machine tool clamps and drives the tool to rotate, fixing the air pipe connected to the high-pressure air tank. This allows the air inlet 24 on the rotating ring to rotate relative to the air-cooled cavity 21, preventing the air pipe from becoming entangled and affecting the cutting operation.

[0035] A liquid inlet pipe 41 is coaxially provided inside the tool holder 1. The liquid inlet end of the liquid inlet pipe 41 is located at the end of the tool holder 1 and is connected to an external coolant storage tank. The liquid outlet end of the liquid inlet pipe 41 is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 23, and the liquid inlet pipe 41 delivers coolant into the liquid cooling chamber 23. A liquid outlet pipe 42 is coaxially provided inside the tool head 3. The liquid inlet end of the liquid outlet pipe 42 is connected to the liquid cooling chamber 23, and the liquid outlet pipe 42 delivers coolant from the liquid cooling chamber 23 into the tool head 3. Several liquid cooling pipes 43 are provided on the outer surface of the tool head 3, and the liquid cooling pipes 43 are connected to the liquid outlet pipes 43. The pipe 42 is connected, and part of the coolant in the outlet pipe 42 flows out through the liquid cooling pipe 43 to cool the side edge 31. The other part flows out through the outlet end of the outlet pipe 42 to cool the end edge 33. A liquid cooling groove 44 is provided between the end edges 33 at the end of the cutter head 3. The liquid cooling groove 44 is connected to the outlet end of the outlet pipe 42. The coolant flows out from several liquid cooling grooves 44 to distribute the coolant, so that the coolant can cool each end edge 33, reduce thermal deformation and thermal wear, and extend the service life of the tool.

[0036] Specifically, the machine tool fixes the cutting tool with a tool holder, and then drives the tool to rotate by rotating the tool holder. Since the end of the tool holder 1 is the inlet end of the liquid inlet pipe 41, when selecting the tool holder, it is necessary to ensure that the end of the tool holder 1 is not obstructed after the tool holder clamps the tool holder, such as with HSK100. This allows the liquid inlet pipe 41 to be connected to an external coolant storage tank through a water pipe. A rotary joint is provided at the connection point, allowing the water pipe to be rotatably connected to the liquid inlet pipe 41, thus fixing the water pipe and preventing damage to the water pipe caused by the rotation of the tool holder 1.

[0037] Further, the liquid cooling pipe 43 is arranged in the chip removal groove 32 between the side edges 31, and the liquid cooling groove 44 is arranged between the end edges 33, without machining the structure of the side edges 31 or the end edges 33 itself, so that the integrity and rigidity of the side edges 31 and the end edges 33 are ensured, and the liquid cooling pipe 43 and the liquid cooling groove 44 can be machined by conventional drilling and grooving tools without complex special hole machining, and the area between the chip removal groove 32 and the end edges 33 is relatively open, which is also convenient for drilling and other machining operations.

[0038] In some feasible embodiments, the gas inlet end of the gas cooling pipe 25 is in communication with the gas cooling cavity 21, the gas outlet end of the gas cooling pipe 25 is located in the chip removal groove 32 after penetrating through the connecting part 2, the gas cooling pipe 25 is arranged obliquely, the gas outlet end of the gas cooling pipe 25 is inclined to the groove bottom of the chip removal groove 32, the cooling gas in the gas cooling pipe 25 is inclinedly sprayed into the chip removal groove 32, the cooling gas can spread along the chip removal groove 32 to cool and lower the temperature of the side edges 31, reduce thermal deformation and thermal wear, and prolong the service life of the tool, at the same time, the cooling gas forms a certain airflow direction and pressure along the shape of the chip removal groove 32, rapidly blows the chips generated in the cutting process away from the cutting area, prevents the chips from accumulating and blocking in the chip removal groove 32, reduces tool wear and workpiece surface scratches caused by the chips, and improves the machining surface quality.

[0039] In some feasible embodiments, the liquid cooling groove 44 is in communication with the chip removal groove 32, and the cooling liquid enters the chip removal groove 32 through the liquid cooling groove 44, which can quickly absorb and take away a large amount of cutting heat, prolong the service life of the side edges 31, and when the cooling liquid flows in the chip removal groove 32, a certain pressure and scouring force can be generated to forcibly push the chips generated in the cutting process out of the cutting area.

[0040] In some feasible embodiments, the liquid outlet end of the liquid cooling pipe 43 is located in the chip removal groove 32, and after the cooling liquid is sprayed out of the liquid cooling pipe 43, it can directly contact the side edges 31 to quickly absorb the cutting heat generated by the side edges 31, lower the temperature of the side edges 31, and at the same time, the cooling liquid can also flush the chips generated in the cutting process away from the cutting area, preventing the chips from accumulating and blocking in the chip removal groove 32.

[0041] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the specification is described in this way only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.
