[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] In this technical solution, a combined planar cutting high-hardness milling cutter includes a milling cutter head 1, an alloy insert 2 and a milling cutter shank 3. The outer side wall of the milling cutter head 1 is provided with a chip removal groove 4, and the inner wall of the chip removal groove 4 is provided with a tool groove 5. The alloy insert 2 is installed in the tool groove 5.
[0022] The lower wall of the milling cutter head 1 is provided with a connecting hole 6, and the upper wall of the milling cutter shank 3 is provided with a connecting rod 7. The connecting rod 7 is inserted into the connecting hole 6. The side wall of the milling cutter shank 3 is provided with an annular groove 8. The outer side wall of the annular groove 8 is rotatably mounted with a cooling mechanism 9. The inner wall of the annular groove 8 is provided with a liquid inlet hole 10. The liquid inlet hole 10 penetrates the side wall of the connecting rod 7. The side wall of the milling cutter head 1 is provided with a liquid outlet hole 11. The liquid outlet hole 11 penetrates the inner wall of the milling cutter head 1 and is connected to the liquid inlet hole 10. The liquid outlet hole 11 is located in the chip removal groove 4.
[0023] In this technical solution, the alloy insert 2 proposed in this paper is made of tungsten steel, which has the advantages of high hardness and high precision. When using this device, the alloy insert 2 is first installed on the milling cutter head 1, then the milling cutter head 1 is installed on the milling cutter shank 3, and finally the milling cutter shank 3 together with the milling cutter head 1 is installed on the spindle of the machine tool. Then the spindle drives the device to rotate and mill the surface of the workpiece.
[0024] Meanwhile, after the milling cutter head 1 is installed in the milling cutter shank 3, its inlet hole 10 and outlet hole 11 are in a connected state. Coolant is injected into the inlet hole 10 through the cooling mechanism 9, and the coolant can flow out through the outlet hole 11 and directly act on the surface of the alloy insert 2, reducing the temperature of the alloy insert 2, thereby extending the service life of the alloy insert 2 and improving the processing efficiency of this device.
[0025] In some technical solutions, the cooling mechanism 9 includes a rotating ring 91, a connecting sleeve 92, and an inlet pipe 93. The rotating ring 91 is rotatably installed in the annular groove 8. The connecting sleeve 92 is inserted into the side wall of the rotating ring 91. One end of the inlet pipe 93 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 92, and the other end of the inlet pipe 93 is connected to an external coolant pipe.
[0026] In this technical solution, because its rotating ring 91 can rotate within the annular groove 8, its rotating ring 91 does not rotate with the milling cutter shank 3, thereby avoiding entanglement of the coolant pipe. The coolant pipe can be pumped into the inlet pipe 93 by an external pump, and then injected into the annular groove 8 through the inlet pipe 93, and then flow into the outlet hole 11 through the inlet hole 10 and then sprayed out.
[0027] In some technical solutions, the inner wall of the liquid outlet hole 11 is provided with internal threads, and a threaded sleeve 12 is screwed into the liquid outlet hole 11 through the threads. The threaded sleeve 12 can be inserted into the liquid inlet hole 10.
[0028] In this technical solution, the threaded sleeve 12 can further reinforce the connection between the milling cutter head 1 and the milling cutter shank 3, ensuring the stability of the connection between the two, and at the same time, it can also prevent the inlet hole 10 and the outlet hole 11 from being misaligned, which would affect the discharge of coolant.
[0029] In some technical solutions, the inner wall of the blade groove 5 is provided with a threaded hole 13, and the middle part of the side wall of the alloy blade 2 is provided with a through hole 14. A positioning bolt 15 is inserted into the through hole 14 and can be screwed into the threaded hole 13.
[0030] In some technical solutions, the lower wall of the milling cutter head 1 is provided with a positioning groove 16, and the upper wall of the milling cutter shank 3 is provided with a positioning block 17, which can be inserted into the positioning groove 16.
[0031] In some technical solutions, a chip guard 18 is installed on the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 12.
[0032] In this technical solution, the chip guard 18 can prevent iron chips from entering the threaded sleeve 12 during milling, thus avoiding blockage of the internal channel of the threaded sleeve 12 and affecting the flow of coolant.
[0033] Working principle: When using this device, first install the alloy insert 2 on the milling cutter head 1 through the cooperation of the positioning bolt 15 and the threaded hole 13, then install the milling cutter head 1 on the milling cutter shank 3, and finally install the milling cutter shank 3 together with the milling cutter head 1 on the spindle of the machine tool. Then, the spindle drives this device to rotate and perform milling on the surface of the workpiece.
[0034] Meanwhile, after the milling cutter head 1 is installed in the milling cutter shank 3, its inlet hole 10 and outlet hole 11 are in a connected state. Coolant is injected into the inlet hole 10 through the cooling mechanism 9. The coolant can flow out through the threaded sleeve 12 in the outlet hole 11 and directly act on the surface of the alloy insert 2, reducing the temperature of the alloy insert 2, thereby extending the service life of the alloy insert 2 and improving the processing efficiency of the device.
