Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spiral broaching technology, and in particular to an internal spiral broaching tool. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of machining, the machining of internal helical surfaces often relies on internal helical broaches. However, their performance is limited by traditional structures and suffers from many defects. Firstly, there is a contradiction between machining accuracy and efficiency. Traditional straight-tube broaches have line contact with the helical inner hole, and during high-speed cutting, uneven force causes periodic vibrations, resulting in waviness on the machined surface. The surface roughness can only be maintained above Ra 1.6μm, and the helix angle error is large, failing to meet the assembly requirements of precision parts. Secondly, the chip removal system uses a uniform groove design, which easily leads to chip accumulation and edge formation during roughing, causing more than 30% of workpieces to be scrapped due to scratches. Furthermore, during finishing, the groove is too deep... Firstly, the high-speed steel cutting tool suffers from several problems. Firstly, the machining stability is severely compromised, reducing production efficiency by 40%. Secondly, the cutting edges are often single-circular or right-angle transitions, resulting in a stress concentration factor as high as 3.5 when machining high-strength alloys such as 40CrNiMoA, and a chipping rate exceeding 35%. Thirdly, the linear cooling system is poorly matched to the spirally distributed cutting teeth, leading to cutting zone temperatures often reaching 800 to 1000 degrees Celsius. This causes the hardness of the high-speed steel cutting teeth to drop from 62 HRC to below 55 HRC, doubling the thermal wear rate. Furthermore, the lack of a reference positioning in the clamping structure further exacerbates tool wear, limiting its application in deep hole and complex spiral surface machining.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: This utility model adopts a structured design.

The differentiated design of the deep and shallow chip removal grooves can adaptively adjust the chip space according to the amount of chips in the roughing and finishing stages. During roughing, the deep grooves accommodate a large amount of chips, preventing accumulation, while during finishing, the shallow grooves ensure cutting stability, reduce interference with the machined surface, and significantly improve chip removal smoothness and surface quality. Furthermore, the device's double arc... The cutting teeth utilize a small arc at the front end to ensure cutting sharpness, while a large arc at the rear end disperses edge stress, preventing edge chipping during cutting of hard and brittle materials and extending tool life. The composite cooling channel extends along the spiral trajectory of the tool body, precisely covering all cutting areas and promptly dissipating cutting heat, reducing the impact of thermal wear on the cutting tooth performance. In the clamping and positioning structure, the reference ring and positioning ring ensure the relative positional accuracy between the tool and the machine tool. The clamping groove and retraction groove facilitate quick clamping and smooth tool retraction. The sealing ring and fastening ring improve the sealing performance of the cooling system, making it adaptable to internal hole machining and deep hole scenarios with various spiral parameters, significantly improving its versatility and practicality.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0018] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3This utility model provides an embodiment of an internal spiral broach, comprising a tapered broach body 1, with shallow chip removal grooves 2 and deep chip removal grooves 20 on the outer wall of the tapered broach body 1, tapered threads 3 on the outer wall of the tapered broach body 1, and double arc cutting teeth 4 on the tapered threads 3. The front end of the double arc cutting teeth 4 is provided with a large arc 16, and the rear end of the double arc cutting teeth 4 is provided with a small arc 17. A threaded cooling channel 5 is provided inside the tapered broach body 1, a through hole 6 is provided at the end of the tapered broach body 1, and a through hole 6 is provided at the front end of the tapered broach body 1. The tool has an outlet 7. One end of the threaded cooling channel 5 is connected to the through hole 6, and the other end extends to the front end of the tapered cutter body 1 and is connected to the outlet 7, forming a cooling passage that runs through the cutter body. This allows the coolant to be transported from the end of the cutter body to the front cutting area. The end of the tapered cutter body 1 is provided with a connecting section 8, and a reference ring 9 is fixedly connected to the connecting section 8. A rear shank 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the reference ring 9. A positioning ring 13 is provided at the end of the rear shank 11. The connecting section 8, the reference ring 9, the rear shank 11, and the positioning ring 13 are coaxially arranged, forming the rear end support and positioning mechanism of the tool. The positioning components ensure the overall structural rigidity and clamping accuracy of the tool. Direct cooling channels 15 are provided within the connecting section 8, reference ring 9, rear shank 11, and positioning ring 13. These channels sequentially pass through the connecting section 8, reference ring 9, rear shank 11, and positioning ring 13, and communicate with the through hole 6 at the end of the tapered tool body 1, forming a channel for coolant to enter the tool body from the rear end. A clamping groove 10 is provided on the outer wall of the reference ring 9, and a slot 12 is provided on the outer wall of the rear shank 11. The clamping groove 10 is used to cooperate with the machine tool clamping mechanism to fix the tool. 2. The shank 11 is used to reduce its weight and provide temporary space for coolant or chips to flow. The outer wall of the positioning ring 13 is provided with a tool retraction groove 14, which provides clearance space for the tool to exit after machining and avoids interference between the tool and the workpiece. A fastening ring 19 is provided on one outer surface of the positioning ring 13 and a sealing ring 18 is provided on the other outer surface of the positioning ring 13. The fastening ring 19 is used to enhance the tightness of the connection between the positioning ring 13 and the machine tool, and the sealing ring 18 is used to prevent coolant leakage in the cooling channel and ensure the sealing of the cooling system.
[0019] Working Principle: Using this invention, the connecting section 8 at the end of the tapered cutter body 1 is first fixed to the machine tool via the clamping groove 10 of the reference ring 9. The positioning ring 13 ensures the coaxiality of the tool and the workpiece. A fastening ring 19 on one side of the positioning ring 13 enhances clamping stability, while a sealing ring 18 on the other side ensures the sealing of the cooling system, preventing coolant leakage. The machine tool drives the tool to rotate and feed axially. The tapered thread 3 on the outer wall of the tapered cutter body 1 drives the double-arc cutting teeth 4 to cut into the inner hole of the workpiece. The small arc 17 at the rear end of the double-arc cutting teeth 4 directly contacts the workpiece material, achieving precise cutting with a sharp cutting edge. The large arc 16 at the front end disperses cutting stress, preventing edge chipping and guiding the chips towards the chip removal groove. The tapered cutter body 1's diameter gradually increases with the increase of the feed rate, gradually expanding the inner hole size, ultimately forming a spiral inner hole that meets the precision requirements. The large amount of cutting material generated during rough machining... Chips are discharged through the deep chip removal groove 20, while fine chips from finishing are discharged through the shallow chip removal groove 2. The differentiated design of the deep and shallow grooves adapts to the chip removal requirements of different cutting stages, preventing chip accumulation and scratching of the machined surface. Coolant enters from the locating ring 13, the back shank 11, the reference ring 9, and the connecting section 8 through the straight cooling channel 15, flows into the thread cooling channel 5 through the through hole 6 at the end of the tapered cutter body 1, is transported along the spiral trajectory to the front end of the cutter body, and finally reaches the cutting area of the double circular arc cutter teeth 4 through the outlet 7, reducing the cutting temperature in real time and reducing tool wear. After machining, the tool retracts in the opposite direction along the axial direction. The empty groove 12 can reduce the amount of material used and reduce the weight of the tool without weakening the strength of the core load-bearing part of the back shank 11. The tool retraction groove 14 on the outer wall of the locating ring 13 provides clearance space for the tool retraction process, avoids interference between the tool and the workpiece, and ensures a smooth and damage-free retraction process.
