The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description.

Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model relates to a fluted reamer capable of cutting the wall of a machined hole for enlarging or repairing holes. The fluted reamer can be operated manually or mounted on a machine tool.

[0040] The grooveless reamer includes a shank 200 and a cutting head 100 connected to the shank 200, wherein the shank 200 and the cutting head 100 are coaxially arranged.

[0041] It should be noted that the cutter head 100 and the shank 200 can be directly connected together, and additional steps or clearances can be provided between the cutter head 100 and the shank 200. The entire fluted reamer can be manufactured as a single piece of alloy.

[0042] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer wall of the cutter head 100 has multiple planar structures 110, which are arranged circumferentially along the cutter head 100. A cutting edge 120 is formed between each pair of adjacent planar structures 110.

[0043] It should be noted that when manufacturing the cutter head 100, a cylinder needs to be machined first, and then the outer wall of the cylinder is cut to form multiple planar structures 110 arranged circumferentially along the cutter head 100. After the multiple planar structures 110 are formed, a cutting edge 120 will be formed between two adjacent planar structures 110.

[0044] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 The width of the cutting edge 120 is f, which satisfies the condition: 0.02mm ≤ f ≤ 0.20mm. Specifically, f can be set to 0.02mm, 0.05mm, 0.10mm, 0.12mm, 0.14mm, 0.16mm, 0.18mm, or 0.20mm.

[0045] It should be noted that the width of the cutting edge 120 can be measured using a vernier caliper at the maximum width of the cutting edge 120.

[0046] Furthermore, the maximum thickness of the cutter head 100 is d, and the distance between the end of the cutting edge 120 away from the end of the cutter head 100 and the end of the cutter head 100 is L; satisfying: 0.10mm≤d≤20mm, and / or, L=(1.0~10.0)d.

[0047] The maximum thickness d of the cutting head 100 can be set to 0.10mm, 0.20mm, 0.50mm, 1.00mm, 2.00mm, 5.00mm, 10.00mm, 15.00mm, or 20.00mm. The distance L between the end of the cutting edge 120 furthest from the cutting head 100 and the end of the cutting head 100 is set according to the dimension d, and the value of L can be 1, 2, 5, or even 10 times d.

[0048] Specifically, the maximum thickness d of the cutting head 100 refers to the maximum dimension of the cutting head 100 on a straight line perpendicular to and intersecting the rotation center axis of the cutting head 100. The maximum thickness d of the cutting head 100 can be measured at the maximum width of the cutting head 100 using vernier calipers. The value of L can be measured using vernier calipers at the distance between the end of the cutting head 100 away from the tool holder 200 and the end of the cutting edge 120 near the tool holder 200.

[0049] When in use, the cutting head 100 of this fluteless reamer extends into the hole. As the fluteless reamer rotates, the cutting edge 120 can process the hole wall to achieve the purpose of enlarging or repairing the hole. The chips generated by the cutting of the fluteless reamer can be temporarily stored in the area between the planar structure 110 and the hole wall. The chips are less likely to clog this area, which can reduce the risk of the hole wall being scratched. In addition, the fluteless reamer of this invention does not require the groove structure of a straight flute reamer or a spiral flute reamer, resulting in higher overall structural strength and reducing the risk of vibration or chipping during use. Furthermore, the fluteless reamer of this invention is simple to manufacture and can be used to manufacture small-diameter reamers.

[0050] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 It should be noted that each planar structure 110 is parallel to the rotation center axis of the cutter head 100, and each planar structure 110 is arranged in a circular array with the rotation center axis of the cutter head 100 as the center.

[0051] Specifically, each planar structure 110 is equidistant from the rotation axis of the cutter head 100, and each planar structure 110 does not intersect with the others. All planar structures 110 are arranged in a circular array around the rotation axis of the cutter head 100. This allows the cutter head 100 to present a regular structure, and ensures that each cutting edge 120 is arranged in a circular array around the rotation axis of the cutter head 100, with each cutting edge 120 equidistant from the rotation axis of the cutter head 100, thus guaranteeing machining effect and accuracy.

[0052] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, it can be understood that the number of planar structures 110 is at least three, such as three, four, five or even more than five.

[0053] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 Furthermore, a guide slope 130 is formed between each pair of adjacent planar structures 110. The guide slope 130 is located on the side of the cutting edge 120 near the end of the tool head 100, wherein each guide slope 130 cooperates to form a guide cone.

[0054] Specifically, each pair of adjacent planar structures 110 not only has a cutting edge 120 for cutting the hole wall, but also a guide slope 130. The guide slope 130 is located on the side of the cutting edge 120 away from the tool holder 200, and extends to the end face of the tool tip 100 away from the tool holder 200. The distance between the guide slope 130 and the rotation axis of the tool tip 100 gradually decreases along the direction from the tool holder 200 to the tool tip 100. In this way, all the guide slopes 130 cooperate to form a guide cone. It is understood that the setting of the guide cone is beneficial for extending the tool tip 100 into the hole.

[0055] Furthermore, each guide slope 130 is arranged in a circular array with the rotation center axis of the cutter head 100 as the center.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, the angle between the guide slope 130 and the rotation center axis of the cutter head 100 is α, satisfying: 5°≤α≤45°. Specifically, α can be set to 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, or 45°.

[0057] It should be noted that in the grooveless reamer of this utility model, the roughness of the planar structure 110, the guide bevel 130 and the cutting edge 120 can be controlled within Ra0.2μm.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the reamer of this utility model can be processed in the following ways:

[0059] 1. The diameter of the tool holder is controlled by a centerless grinder (200mm).

[0060] 2. The diameter d of the cutter head 100 is controlled by a CNC cylindrical grinding machine. The cutter head 100 is rough and fine ground to achieve a surface roughness of Ra0.2μm. The calibration part 121 of the cutter head 100 has a taper of 0.005mm, and the taper part 122 has a taper of 0.02mm.

[0061] 3. The planar structure 110 and guide slope 130 on the tool head 100 are rough and fine ground using a CNC universal tool grinder, and the surface roughness reaches Ra0.2μm.

[0062] This utility model also provides a machining tool, including the grooveless reamer of the above embodiment. The machining tool can be a machine tool equipped with a grooveless reamer.

[0063] The machining tool of this utility model has the aforementioned fluteless reamer. In use, the cutter head 100 extends into the hole. When the fluteless reamer rotates, the cutting edge 120 can process the hole wall to achieve the purpose of enlarging or repairing the hole. The chips generated by the fluteless reamer can be temporarily stored in the area between the planar structure 110 and the hole wall, preventing the chips from clogging this area and reducing the risk of scratching the hole wall. Furthermore, the fluteless reamer of this utility model does not require the groove structure found on straight-groove or spiral-groove reamers, resulting in higher overall structural strength and reducing the risk of vibration or chipping during use. Additionally, the fluteless reamer of this utility model is simple to manufacture and can be used to produce small-diameter reamers.

[0064] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0065] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
