Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic material machining technology, specifically to a boron nitride ceramic anti-shatter hole opener. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of ceramic processing, there are currently many technical challenges in the drilling process. Traditional ceramic drilling tools often face the problem of chip accumulation during processing. Due to the hardness of ceramics, a large amount of chips are generated during processing. If these chips cannot be removed in time, they will accumulate continuously in the processing area. On the one hand, chip accumulation affects the cutting performance of the tool, accelerates tool wear, reduces tool life, and increases processing costs. On the other hand, accumulated chips may also lead to a decrease in machining accuracy, affecting the quality of ceramic products.
[0003] Meanwhile, heat accumulation is also a problem in existing processing methods. During the drilling process, the high-speed friction between the cutting tool and the ceramic material generates a large amount of heat. Excessive temperature not only reduces the cutting performance of the tool and causes softening of the cutting edge, further affecting machining accuracy and tool life, but may also cause thermal damage to the ceramic material itself, leading to defects such as cracks and deformation, seriously affecting the yield of ceramic products.
[0004] Furthermore, existing chip removal methods are often inefficient. Some simple chip removal structures are insufficient to meet the large amount of chips required during ceramic drilling, failing to effectively and promptly remove chips from the machining area, thus indirectly exacerbating chip accumulation and heat buildup. Moreover, traditional cutting tools also lack adequate heat dissipation mechanisms, failing to quickly dissipate heat.
[0005] Furthermore, while using cutting fluid in ceramic machining can alleviate the aforementioned problems, it also presents several challenges. First, ceramic materials are highly sensitive to impurities; additives and other components in common cutting fluids may remain on the ceramic surface, affecting its performance. Second, ceramics are highly hard, and the chips produced during machining are fine and sharp, easily contaminating the cutting fluid and leading to frequent replacements, thus increasing machining costs. Moreover, selecting an inappropriate cutting fluid can cause its components to react chemically with the ceramic material, damaging the ceramic surface structure and affecting its final performance and service life.
[0006] In summary, there is a need for a ceramic hole opener that can efficiently remove chips, reduce heat accumulation, and ensure machining accuracy and tool life, thereby overcoming the problems of chip accumulation, heat accumulation, and low chip removal efficiency in existing ceramic hole opening processes.

[0043] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a boron nitride ceramic shatterproof hole opener, which is equipped with a cutting tool. The cutting tool has a straight shank structure and includes a shank 1, a blade 2, and a cutting head 3.
[0044] The blade 2 is a hollow cylindrical structure, coaxially connected to the handle 1 at the top and to the head 3 at the bottom. The circumferential surface of the blade 2 is cylindrical and machined with multiple chip guide grooves 5. These grooves are arranged in a circumferential array, each with a spiral structure. Thus, the multiple chip guide grooves 5 wind around the blade 2, and chip guide holes 6 are provided at the bottom of the grooves. Furthermore, each chip guide groove 5 has multiple chip guide holes 6 arranged along the groove direction at its bottom. In this embodiment, each chip guide groove 5 starts at the connection between the blade 2 and the head 3 and extends spirally to one end near the handle 1. The chip guide holes 6 are correspondingly distributed from the starting position of the chip guide groove 5 to its end. The axial direction of each chip guide hole 6 is parallel to the radial direction of the blade 2, meaning the axis of each chip guide hole 6 is perpendicular to the cut surface at the opening. Optionally, to reduce stress concentration in the chip guide grooves 5, this embodiment also rounds the two upper side edges of each chip guide groove 5.
[0045] Combination Figure 5 As shown, a through negative pressure port 7 is provided on the shank 1 along the axial direction; one end of the negative pressure port 7 is connected to a negative pressure generating device through a negative pressure pipeline, and the other end is connected to the internal hollow structure of the blade 2. Further, in this embodiment, the tool is connected to the corresponding tool clamping structure through the shank 1, thereby driving the tool to rotate and open the hole through a rotary mechanism. Therefore, the shank 1 can be selected as a tapered shank structure, and connected to the tool clamping structure through a keyway or flat section. A negative pressure pipeline is installed in the tool clamping structure, and a centrally located negative pressure chamber is provided in the tool clamping structure. The negative pressure chamber is a hollow structure with openings at the top and bottom; when the tool is clamped, the lower opening of the chamber communicates with the inside of the blade through the negative pressure port 7; a rotary joint is installed at the upper opening of the negative pressure chamber and connected to the negative pressure pipeline.
[0046] Optionally, the diameters of the chip guide holes 6 in this embodiment are not all the same. Specifically, in each chip guide groove 5, the diameter of the chip guide hole 6 on the side near the cutter head 3 is larger than that on the side near the tool holder 1. A preferred design is that the chip guide holes 6 in each chip guide groove 5 are machined in sections, such as three sections, and the corresponding chip guide holes are machined using drilling tools with different hole diameters. This design allows the upper chip guide holes 6 to obtain a smaller air intake under internal negative pressure conditions, thereby maintaining sufficient suction for the chip guide holes on the side near the cutter head 3. Furthermore, since the main heat-generating area is on the side of the cutter head 3, this design can also preferentially remove a large amount of heat through a large air intake and cutting volume, thereby balancing the temperature of the tool body 2.
[0047] In this embodiment, the machining section of the cutter head 3 is provided with multiple cutting tooth structures 4 arranged in a circumferential array. Furthermore, the chip guide grooves 5 arranged circumferentially on the peripheral side of the cutter body 2 correspond one-to-one with the cutting tooth structures 4, meaning that each cutting tooth structure 4 has a corresponding chip guide groove 5 above it. Therefore, to facilitate smoother chip removal, multiple guide grooves 8 are machined on the cutter head 3, which are also spiral-shaped and communicate with the corresponding chip guide grooves 5. This design increases chip removal efficiency and maintains good strength of the cutter head 3.
[0048] Combination Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the ratio of the horizontal cylindrical arc length d between the end of the guide groove 8 and the nearest cutter tooth endpoint to the cutter tooth width W is less than or equal to 0.3, i.e., d / W ≤ 0.3, and preferably 0.2 in this embodiment. It should be noted that the horizontal cylindrical arc length d is the corresponding cylindrical arc length after the two endpoints are projected onto the same horizontal plane, not the length of the arc connecting the two endpoints, nor a straight-line distance in space; and the cutter tooth width W is the outer arc length of each cutter tooth structure 4, not a straight-line distance between the two tooth sides.
[0049] Working principle;
[0050] In this embodiment, the boron nitride ceramic anti-shatter hole opener operates by connecting the cutting tool to the tool clamping structure via the tool holder 1. A rotating mechanism drives the cutting tool to rotate, initiating the hole-opening operation on the boron nitride ceramic. The cutting teeth 4 of the cutting head 3 contact the ceramic for cutting, and the resulting chips are guided along the spiral trajectory of the guide groove 8 to the chip guide groove 5 of the cutting body 2. The chip guide groove 5 also has a spiral structure, further guiding the chips upwards along the circumferential surface of the cutting body 2.
[0051] Meanwhile, the negative pressure port 7 on the handle 1 is connected to an external negative pressure generating device through a negative pressure pipeline. The negative pressure generating device generates negative pressure, creating a negative pressure environment in the hollow structure inside the blade 2, thus affecting airflow and chip path. Figure 5 As shown by the middle arrow, the chip guide holes 6, arranged in an array along the grooving direction at the bottom of the chip guide groove 5, become the chip suction channel. Under the action of negative pressure, the chips located in the chip guide groove 5 are sucked into the interior of the blade 2 through the chip guide holes 6, and then discharged from the hole opener through the negative pressure pipeline via the communication structure between the blade 2 and the handle 1.
[0052] The chip guide hole 6 features a special design, with the diameter on the side closer to the cutter head 3 being larger than that on the side closer to the tool holder 1. This design allows for a larger air intake near the cutter head 3 under internal negative pressure, prioritizing the removal of the significant heat generated during cutting and balancing the temperature of the tool body 2. It also ensures sufficient suction near the cutter head 3 to quickly remove chips and prevent chip accumulation from affecting machining. Furthermore, the size and structure of the guide groove 8 further optimize the chip removal path, ensuring smooth chip removal while maintaining the strength of the cutter head 3, thus guaranteeing the hole opener can stably and efficiently complete the hole opening work on boron nitride ceramics.
[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
