Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of milling cutter technology, and in particular, relates to a double-sided eight-flute corn milling cutter. Background Technology

[0002] Corn milling cutters are machining tools used in the machining industry. They are mainly produced by powder metallurgy using tungsten carbide powder as raw material. The cutting edge is mounted on a matching milling cutter head like a corn kernel. Commonly available corn milling cutters include single-sided 2-flute, single-sided 3-flute, double-sided 4-flute, and double-sided 6-flute cutters. However, the number of cutting edges can be increased to reduce the economic cost per cutting edge.

[0003] The existing patent publication number CN118663959A discloses an anti-interference milling insert and cutter head, including a first surface, a second surface, a side mounting surface, and a main cutting edge. Adjacent main cutting edges are connected sequentially in a clockwise direction by a tool tip arc and a finishing edge. The finishing edge is an arc-shaped finishing edge. There is a transition surface between the tool tip arc and the first / second surface. The main cutting edge has an angle with the first or second surface, so that the transition surface integrally connected with the rake face of the finishing edge has an arc-shaped concave structure. This application does not specifically disclose its cutter head structure.

[0004] Patent CN207840247U discloses a vertically mounted corn milling cutter, including a housing. The housing has a connecting cavity along its axis for connecting a power shaft. Multiple rings of milling cutters are arranged circumferentially on the outer surface of the housing. The projections of the milling cutters along the axial direction do not overlap and are sequentially connected to form a ring. The milling cutters in that application are 4-flute cutters, which are less economical. Furthermore, the housing structure can only accommodate the 4-flute cutters and cannot be used in this application. Utility Model Content

The cutting edge has a rake face with a finishing edge and an arc-shaped flank face with a finishing edge on the side mounting surface. A spiral chip removal groove is provided on the outer circumference of the cutter head, and multiple mounting seats are provided along the direction of the chip removal groove. The mounting seats mate with the side mounting and bottom mounting surfaces of the cutter body, and the cutter is then locked in place by mounting screws. After the cutter body is locked in place, the cutting edges on the outer circumference of the cutter are on the same cylindrical surface. In the vertical direction between two adjacent cutters in the same chip removal groove, the tip of the latter cutter is 0.1–0.3 mm lower than the tip of the former cutter.

[0008] Furthermore, the cutter head is provided with a weight reduction groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the axial mounting rake angle of the blade body on the mounting base is -1.2°±1°, and the radial mounting clearance angle is -13.7°±5°.

[0010] Furthermore, the blade body has a cutting edge band on the cutting edge.

[0011] Furthermore, the blade body is a pressed blade.

[0012] Furthermore, the blade body is a ground blade.

[0013] Furthermore, the blade surface is coated with a wear-resistant coating.

[0014] Furthermore, the cutter head is provided with an internal cooling hole, one end of which is connected to the spindle cooling water channel, and the other end faces the cutter body.

[0015] Furthermore, the diameter of the cutter head is 63mm.

[0016] Furthermore, the chip removal grooves are configured as four, spirally distributed along the outer circumference of the cutter head; each chip removal groove has four mounting seats in its direction.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a double-sided eight-flute corn milling cutter, including a cutter head 1 and a cutter body 2 installed in conjunction with the cutter head 1. The cutter body 2 is hexahedral in shape, with a through screw hole 20 in the center, and includes a bottom mounting surface 26, a side mounting surface 25, and eight cutting edges. The cutting edges are provided with a cutting edge band 24. The cutting edges include a main cutting edge 21, a finishing edge 22 that is arc-transitioned to the main cutting edge 21, and a tool tip arc 23 connected to the finishing edge 22. The main cutting edge 21 has a curved surface on the bottom mounting surface side. The main cutting edge has a rake face 291 and a planar flank face 29 on the side mounting surface. The finishing edge 22 has a curved finishing edge rake face 27 on the bottom mounting surface and an arc-shaped finishing edge flank face 28 on the side mounting surface. The outer circumference of the cutter head 1 has a spiral chip removal groove 12 and multiple mounting seats along the direction of the chip removal groove 21. The cutter head has a weight reduction groove 11. The mounting seats cooperate with the side mounting 25 and bottom mounting surface 26 of the insert body, and the insert is locked by the mounting screws 3.

[0031] After the blade body 2 is locked in the mounting base, the axial installation rake angle of the blade body 2 in the mounting base is -1.2°±1°, and the radial installation clearance angle is -13.7°±5°. Figure 3 As shown, the cutting edges on the outer circumference of the insert are on the same cylindrical surface. In the vertical direction of two adjacent inserts in the same chip removal groove, the tip of the latter insert is 0.1 to 0.3 mm lower than the tip of the former insert. Currently, most double-sided eight-blade inserts on the market cannot be made into corn milling cutters due to functional interference caused by structural design. In this embodiment, after the insert body is installed on the mounting base, all the cutting edges of the inserts are on the same cylindrical surface, and the tip of each subsequent insert must be 0.1 to 0.3 mm lower than the tip of the former insert. This ensures that the tool can machine a qualified vertical surface.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, this is a conventional single-sided double-edged corn milling cutter with a very heavy cutter head. In this embodiment, a weight-reducing groove is provided on the cutter head. Through the weight-reducing and lightweight design, the load on the machine tool can be reduced and energy can be saved.

[0033] In this embodiment, the blade body is a pressed blade, which has a simpler manufacturing process and is suitable for heavy-duty cutting.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a double-sided eight-flute corn milling cutter, including a cutter head 1 and a cutter body 2 installed in conjunction with the cutter head 1. The cutter body 2 is hexahedral in shape, with a through screw hole 20 in the center, and includes a bottom mounting surface 26, a side mounting surface 25, and eight cutting edges. The cutting edges are provided with a cutting edge band 24. The cutting edges include a main cutting edge 21, a finishing edge 22 that is arc-transitioned to the main cutting edge 21, and a tool tip arc 23 connected to the finishing edge 22. The main cutting edge 21 has a curved surface on the bottom mounting surface side. The main cutting edge has a rake face 291 and a planar flank face 29 on the side mounting surface. The finishing edge 22 has a curved finishing edge rake face 27 on the bottom mounting surface and an arc-shaped finishing edge flank face 28 on the side mounting surface. The outer circumference of the cutter head 1 has a spiral chip removal groove 12 and multiple mounting seats along the direction of the chip removal groove 21. The cutter head has a weight reduction groove 11. The mounting seats cooperate with the side mounting 25 and bottom mounting surface 26 of the insert body, and the insert is locked by the mounting screws 3.

[0036] After the blade body 2 is locked in the mounting base, the axial installation rake angle of the blade body 2 in the mounting base is -1.2°±1°, and the radial installation clearance angle is -13.7°±5°. Figure 3 As shown, the cutting edges on the outer circumference of the insert are on the same cylindrical surface. In the vertical direction of two adjacent inserts in the same chip removal groove, the tip of the latter insert is 0.1 to 0.3 mm lower than the tip of the former insert. Currently, most double-sided eight-blade inserts on the market cannot be made into corn milling cutters due to functional interference caused by structural design. In this embodiment, after the insert body is installed on the mounting base, all the cutting edges of the inserts are on the same cylindrical surface, and the tip of each subsequent insert must be 0.1 to 0.3 mm lower than the tip of the former insert. This ensures that the tool can machine a qualified vertical surface.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, this is a conventional single-sided double-edged corn milling cutter with a very heavy cutter head. In this embodiment, a weight-reducing groove is provided on the cutter head. Through the weight-reducing and lightweight design, the load on the machine tool can be reduced and energy can be saved.

[0038] In this embodiment, the blade body is a ground blade. The production process of ground blades is more complex, requiring the pressing blade to be ground, and it is more suitable for light-load cutting.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a double-sided eight-flute corn milling cutter, including a cutter head 1 and a cutter body 2 installed in conjunction with the cutter head 1. The cutter body 2 is hexahedral in shape, with a through screw hole 20 in the center, and includes a bottom mounting surface 26, a side mounting surface 25, and eight cutting edges. The cutting edges are provided with a cutting edge band 24. The cutting edges include a main cutting edge 21, a finishing edge 22 that is arc-transitioned to the main cutting edge 21, and a tool tip arc 23 connected to the finishing edge 22. The main cutting edge 21 has a curved surface on the bottom mounting surface side. The main cutting edge has a rake face 291 and a planar flank face 29 on the side mounting surface. The finishing edge 22 has a curved finishing edge rake face 27 on the bottom mounting surface and an arc-shaped finishing edge flank face 28 on the side mounting surface. The outer circumference of the cutter head 1 has a spiral chip removal groove 12 and multiple mounting seats along the direction of the chip removal groove 21. The cutter head has a weight reduction groove 11. The mounting seats cooperate with the side mounting 25 and bottom mounting surface 26 of the insert body, and the insert is locked by the mounting screws 3.

[0041] After the blade body 2 is locked in the mounting base, the axial installation rake angle of the blade body 2 in the mounting base is -1.2°±1°, and the radial installation clearance angle is -13.7°±5°. Figure 3 As shown, the cutting edges on the outer circumference of the insert are on the same cylindrical surface. In the vertical direction of two adjacent inserts in the same chip removal groove, the tip of the latter insert is 0.1 to 0.3 mm lower than the tip of the former insert. Currently, most double-sided eight-blade inserts on the market cannot be made into corn milling cutters due to functional interference caused by structural design. In this embodiment, after the insert body is installed on the mounting base, all the cutting edges of the inserts are on the same cylindrical surface, and the tip of each subsequent insert must be 0.1 to 0.3 mm lower than the tip of the former insert. This ensures that the tool can machine a qualified vertical surface.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, this is a conventional single-sided double-edged corn milling cutter with a very heavy cutter head. In this embodiment, a weight-reducing groove is provided on the cutter head. Through the weight-reducing and lightweight design, the load on the machine tool can be reduced and energy can be saved.

[0043] Furthermore, the blade surface is coated with a wear-resistant coating, and the cutter head is provided with an internal cooling hole 13. One end of the internal cooling hole is connected to the spindle cooling water channel or the spindle exhaust, and the other end faces the blade body, further reducing the wear of the blade due to high temperature during processing.

[0044] Obviously, the above-described embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
