Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reamers, and in particular to a multi-step reamer integrated composite tool. Background Technology
[0002] When machining parts with particularly complex internal cavities, long, large pieces of metal often fall into these cavities. During cleaning, these metal fragments frequently become stuck between the upper and lower layers of the cavity or in dead corners, unable to be removed. Later in the product's lifespan, these stuck metal fragments loosen, causing blockages in the cooling system, leading to cooling system failure and ultimately, the entire product becoming unusable. For example, engine cylinder heads often suffer from blockages in the thermostat and even cooler pipes due to residual metal fragments, resulting in engine failure and significant losses for the company. Meanwhile, with the rapid development of advanced manufacturing technology in China in recent years, many parts are now machined using CNC horizontal machining centers to ensure product precision. If a reaming and boring tool could be combined into a single composite tool, not only could one tool be reduced, but also the tool change time on the machine tool could be decreased, significantly improving production efficiency. How to solve the problem of residual metal fragments in the internal cavities of parts and improve machining efficiency has been a long-standing challenge for engineering technicians. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-step expanding and reaming integrated composite tool to solve the problem of long, large, and sheet-like metal chips generated during the machining of internal cavities of parts. To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0004] A multi-step expanding and reaming integrated composite tool includes a shank, the working end of which is provided with a reamer section and an expanding section in sequence. The longitudinal section of the cutting edge of the expanding section is stepped, and the diameter of each layer of cutting edge gradually increases from top to bottom. The shank, the reamer section and the expanding section together constitute the expanding and reaming tool body. The working end of the expanding and reaming tool body is provided with an end cutting edge, and the working end of the outer wall of the expanding and reaming tool body is provided with a chip removal groove.
[0005] The reaming section adopts a stepped diameter design, which effectively avoids the generation of long strips and large pieces of metal chips. At the same time, it combines reaming and boring with a single tool, combining the work that previously required two tools into one tool, greatly improving production efficiency.
[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cutting edge of the expanding section is divided into five layers, with each layer of cutting edges being D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 from top to bottom. The diameters of D1, D2 and D3 differ by 0.6 mm, and the diameters of D4 and D5 differ by 0.2 mm. The diameter of the widest layer of the expanding section cutting edge is 0.2 mm smaller than the diameter of the reamer section cutting edge.
[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the center of the reamer body is provided with an internal cooling hole, which communicates with the branch holes connected to the cutting edges of the reamer section and the chip removal groove.
[0008] Internal cooling holes are provided in the spiral grooves of both the reamer and the blade expansion section, which is beneficial for chip removal, cooling and lubrication of the cutting edge.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the end cutting edge has three parts, and the end cutting edge extends 0.3-0.4 mm beyond the center.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the chip removal groove adopts a groove design with a large spiral and unequal division.
[0011] The design of the large spiral unequal chip removal groove allows the metal chips to rotate, which facilitates the collision of the metal chips and achieves the purpose of chip breaking and removal.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. By employing multi-stage layered cutting technology, the generation of long, large, and sheet-like metal chips is eliminated, resulting in finer, discontinuous metal chips that are much easier to clean. This improves the cleanliness and particle size of the inner cavity, reducing the likelihood of product scrap caused by metal chips falling into the inner cavity and clogging the water channels. Furthermore, by combining the expander and reamer into a single tool, one tool is eliminated, saving 9 seconds of tool change time and increasing overall processing efficiency by 1.2 times – a very effective result.
[0014] 2. Internal cooling holes are provided in the spiral grooves of both the reamer and the blade expansion section, which is beneficial for chip removal, cooling and lubrication of the cutting edge.
[0015] 3. The design of the large spiral unequal chip removal groove allows the metal chips to rotate, which is conducive to the collision of metal chips, thereby achieving the purpose of chip breaking and chip removal.
[0016] 4. The blade surface has been polished, making it sharper and reducing metal shavings adhesion, allowing them to be discharged smoothly. Attached Figure Description
