Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting tool technology, and in particular to a one-piece milling tool. Background Technology
[0002] A milling cutter with a forming tool (also known as a milling cutter with a forming tool) is a composite tool that integrates the functions of a milling cutter and a forming tool. It is typically used in milling processes in machining, especially for machining complex features such as internal holes, external contours, and grooves. Its main feature is combining two tools with different functions into one, thereby improving machining efficiency and accuracy. However, some traditional cutting tools have fewer inserts on the cutting head. Fewer inserts not only result in a smaller cutting area but also limit the feed rate and cutting speed, leading to lower cutting efficiency. Furthermore, tool wear with fewer inserts is often localized and concentrated. Because each insert bears a higher cutting pressure, it is also prone to premature wear in certain areas, affecting tool life and machining accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example
[0024] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model proposes an integrated milling cutter, including a milling cutter body 5, and further including: a connector 51 and a cutting head 52 disposed on the milling cutter body 5; multiple pairs of first cutting inserts 1, second cutting inserts 2, third cutting inserts 3, and fourth cutting inserts 4, arranged 180° symmetrically, welded to the cutting head 52. The first cutting inserts 1, second cutting inserts 2, third cutting inserts 3, and fourth cutting inserts 4 all utilize welded PCD material and a central internal cooling design, which results in high machining efficiency and good surface roughness, significantly improving the lifespan of the milling cutter body 5. Welded PCD material generally refers to the process of joining or fixing polycrystalline diamond material with other materials (such as metal substrates) through welding. PCD is a composite material with extremely high hardness and wear resistance, widely used in tools, molds, and other parts requiring high wear resistance. The central internal cooling design generally refers to the technology of using internal cooling channels to provide coolant during the machining process of the milling cutter body 5, especially the cutting inserts. The purpose of this design is to improve cutting efficiency, extend the life of the milling cutter body 5, and improve machining quality by allowing coolant to flow directly to the cutting area of the milling cutter body 5 during the cutting process; the connecting mechanism is installed at the connecting end of the connector 51 and the cutting head 52 to enable quick assembly and disassembly between the connector 51 and the cutting head 52.
[0025] Furthermore, the first cutting insert 1 has a bottom-cutting scraper face for reaming holes. Reaming holes typically uses special reamers or inserts for precision machining to ensure that the hole diameter, shape, and surface roughness meet design requirements. The second cutting insert 2 each has a pair of chamfers for reaming holes. The chamfer removes the sharp edges of the hole with a bevel, transforming the edge from a sharp right angle into a small bevel or chamfer. The third cutting insert 3 has a rounded outer edge, which usually refers to the outer edge or shape of the tool being arc-shaped, or the outer edge of the insert forming a circular outline. This design has different purposes and advantages in different machining applications. The fourth cutting insert 4 has a rounded chamfer on its outer edge and a scraper face. The rounded chamfer helps the tool cut into the workpiece more smoothly, reducing the direct contact area between the tool and the material, thereby reducing stress and vibration generated during cutting. This not only reduces the burden on the machine tool and cutting tool but also reduces noise during machining. The scraper face (also called a scraper surface) on the insert is usually designed to improve machining quality, extend tool life, and increase machining efficiency. The cutting edge is part of the cutting tool and usually refers to a special design or shape on the surface of the tool used to remove chips, reduce friction, or optimize cutting performance.
[0026] The connecting mechanism includes a mounting head 54 fixedly connected to the end of the cutting head 52. A connecting sleeve 53 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting head 51 near the cutting head 52. The connecting sleeve 53 has a hexagonal mounting slot 59. A hexagonal insert 55 is fixedly connected to the mounting head 54, tightly inserted into the hexagonal mounting slot 59. The outer wall of the hexagonal insert 55 is in close contact with the inner wall of the hexagonal mounting slot 59. Its function is to enable precise machining when the rotating connecting sleeve 53 drives the cutting head 52. The thickness of the hexagonal insert 55 is the same as the depth of the hexagonal mounting slot 59.
[0027] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism also includes a mounting groove 56 on the connecting sleeve 53. A mounting screw 57 is spirally connected inside the mounting groove 56. One end of the mounting screw 57, which inserts into the connecting slot 58, has a tightly inserted prong. The prong at the end of the mounting screw 57 has a ball-shaped plug, which makes inserting the end of the mounting screw 57 into the connecting slot 58 easier and more convenient. The hexagonal insert 55 has a connecting slot 58 for inserting the end of the mounting screw 57. The connecting slot 58 contains a thread-locking agent, also called threadlocker or thread-locking adhesive, which is a chemical substance that prevents screws from loosening by forming a strong adhesive layer between the threads. Its function is to fill the thread gaps, fixing the threads together and preventing loosening due to vibration or external force.
[0028] In this embodiment, when a one-piece milling cutter is required, such as... Figure 1 As shown, simply install the connector 51 on the end of the milling cutter body 5 onto the equipment. When the milling cutter body 5 is running, the connector 51 drives the cutting head 52 to rotate through the hexagonal insert 55. The cutting head 52 simultaneously drives multiple pairs of first cutting inserts 1, second cutting inserts 2, third cutting inserts 3, and fourth cutting inserts 4 to rotate. Each pair of first cutting inserts 1, second cutting inserts 2, third cutting inserts 3, and fourth cutting inserts 4 is assigned different machining content, enabling complex hole machining to be completed in one go. Furthermore, the first cutting inserts 1, second cutting inserts 2, third cutting inserts 3, and fourth cutting inserts 4 all use welded PCD material and a central internal cooling design, which has high machining efficiency and good surface roughness, greatly improving the life of the milling cutter body 5. When the cutting head 52 needs to be replaced, simply rotate the mounting screw 57 with a tool. Since the mounting screw 57 and the connecting sleeve 53 are connected by a screw, the insert at the end of the mounting screw 57 can be disengaged from the connecting slot 58 on the hexagonal insert 55, thereby allowing the hexagonal insert 55 to disengage from the mounting hexagonal slot 59, thus quickly completing the disassembly of the cutting head 52 and the connector 51. Installation is the reverse of the above operation, which will not be elaborated here.
[0029] The preferred embodiments of this utility model described above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
