[0023] The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a novel MCD spiral end mill includes a tool holder 1 and a spiral cutter head 2 at its lower end. The spiral cutter head 2 is made of MCD material, and its outer diameter is no greater than that of the tool holder 1. The spiral cutter head 2 has n end cutting edges 3 radially arranged at its end, and n spiral cutting edges 4 arranged on its outer circumference. A spiral chip removal groove 5 is formed between two adjacent spiral cutting edges 4, which improves chip removal performance. Each of the n spiral cutting edges 4 has a staggered cutting surface, and the staggered cutting surfaces on two adjacent spiral cutting edges 4 are axially staggered. Machining products with multiple end cutting edges and multiple spiral cutting edges can improve the surface gloss of the product, while also increasing machining efficiency and extending tool life. The staggered cutting surfaces on the spiral cutting edges allow for a staggered arrangement of the spiral cutting edges, resulting in a tool mark-free machined surface and further improving the surface quality of the machined product.
[0025] As a preferred structure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the number n of the spiral blades 4 and end blades 3 is four. The staggered surfaces on the four spiral blades 4 are two first staggered surfaces 5 and two second staggered surfaces 6. The two first staggered surfaces 5 are respectively located at the ends of two spiral blades 4, and the two second staggered surfaces 6 are respectively located in the middle of the other two spiral blades 4. Spiral blades are correspondingly provided at the edges of the first staggered surfaces 5 and the two second staggered surfaces 6. The length of the first staggered surface 5 is greater than the length of the second staggered surface 6. The spiral blades on the same spiral groove sidewall are arranged in an alternating pattern, with no rounded corners at the intersection points. This staggered tooth forming tool has good profile accuracy, no tool marks on the machined surface, and improves the surface quality of the product.
[0026] In specific embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the helical cutter head 2 has four radially arranged straight chip removal grooves 7 on its end face, which are respectively arranged adjacent to the four end cutting edges 3; the straight chip removal grooves 7 are inclined outward relative to the adjacent end cutting edges 3. The straight chip removal grooves can remove chips in time, avoid cutting chips from remaining on the machined surface, and further improve the machining quality.
[0027] In specific design, such as Figure 1 As shown, the helical cutter head 2 has a helix angle of 37°. The rear side of the helical cutting edge 4 consists of a first helical flank face 41 and a second helical flank face 42, with the first helical flank face 41 forming an angle of 10° with the helical cutting edge 4. The second helical flank face 42 is a concave helical surface. Utilizing the first helical flank face 41 and the second helical flank face 42 can reduce cutting resistance, and timely chip removal through the helical chip removal groove can improve machining quality.
[0028] like Figure 2As shown, the rear side of the end cutting edge 3 is successively formed by a first flank face 31 and a second flank face 32, with the second flank face 32 inclined outward relative to the first flank face 31. The angle between the end cutting edge 3 and the first flank face 31 is 6°, and the angle between the first flank face 31 and the second flank face 32 is 15°. Similarly, utilizing the first flank face 31 and the second flank face 32 can reduce cutting resistance, and the participation of multiple end cutting edges in machining can improve cutting efficiency and surface brightness, thereby improving machining quality.
[0029] In actual manufacturing, the spiral cutter head 2 is welded to the cutter shank 1. The cutter shank is made of tungsten steel, and the machined MCD spiral cutter head is welded and fixed to the end of the cutter shank.
[0030] In summary, this invention boasts advantages such as simple and compact structure, high processing efficiency, and excellent surface quality. By employing an MCD spiral cutter head for machining products, multiple spiral blades and end blades are used for simultaneous cutting. Spiral and straight chip removal grooves facilitate timely chip removal, improving the surface finish and extending tool life, thus significantly increasing processing efficiency and making it suitable for mass production. The staggered spiral blades on the spiral cutter head provide excellent contour, resulting in a tool-free surface. The low resistance experienced by the spiral cutter head during machining further enhances surface smoothness and improves overall product quality.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
