Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCD cutting tool technology, and in particular to a high-precision, long-life micro PCD end mill. Background Technology
[0002] In modern manufacturing, the development of metal processing technology plays a crucial role in driving industrial progress. As products continue to evolve towards higher precision, miniaturization, and higher performance, the performance requirements for metal processing cutting tools are becoming increasingly stringent. Solid PCD micro-end mills, as an advanced cutting tool, have demonstrated superior performance in metal processing and other fields. PCD (polycrystalline diamond) material possesses extremely high hardness, good wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction, and excellent thermal conductivity. These characteristics give PCD tools a significant advantage over traditional tools when machining non-ferrous metals, non-metallic materials, and difficult-to-machine materials.
[0003] However, despite the numerous advantages that integral PCD end mills demonstrate in practical applications, there are still some pressing issues to be addressed in PCD tool design, manufacturing processes, and cutting mechanisms. When traditional PCD tools are used to machine aerospace materials such as aluminum alloys and titanium alloys, the large cutting edge of traditional PCD tools results in lower wear resistance and cutting efficiency, failing to meet the high precision requirements of aerospace components. Furthermore, the traditional tool distribution method cannot achieve optimal cutting performance and machining quality. Additionally, the high machining difficulty of PCD materials leads to poor tool manufacturing precision and consistency, increasing manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a high-precision, long-life micro PCD end mill, including a tool holder, a tapered column at the front end of the tool holder, a connecting column at the front end of the tapered column, a cutter head fixedly mounted at the front end of the connecting column, a main cutting edge capable of machining the workpiece on the cutter head, and auxiliary cutting edge components on both the front and back sides of the main cutting edge.
[0007] Furthermore, the auxiliary cutting edge assembly consists of a chip removal groove, a main machining surface, and an auxiliary machining surface, with the chip removal groove located on one side of the main cutting edge surface, the main machining surface located on the other side of the main cutting edge surface, and the auxiliary machining surface located on the surface of the main machining surface.
[0008] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided at the tail end of the tool holder.
[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the front end of the tapered column is smaller than the diameter of the tail end of the tapered column, the diameter of the tail end of the tapered column is the same as the diameter of the tool holder, and the surface of the tapered column is designed to be smooth.
[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the cutting head is 2mm.
[0011] Furthermore, the diameter of the handle is 4mm.
[0012] Furthermore, the handle is made of cemented carbide.
[0013] Furthermore, the material of the cutting head is PDC material.
[0014] Furthermore, the combined length of the handle, the tapered column, the connecting column, and the cutting head is 50 mm.
[0015] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the design of the main cutting edge and the auxiliary cutting edge, when the main cutting edge is machining the material, the main machining surface of the auxiliary cutting edge assists in cutting, and the chip removal groove on the auxiliary cutting edge can assist in chip removal. Together with the auxiliary machining surface, this allows the tool to effectively reduce tool wear and improve the surface quality under high-speed cutting conditions, meeting the high-precision and high-performance machining requirements of aerospace components.

[0022] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0023] See appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 As shown, a high-precision, long-life micro PCD end mill includes a tool holder 1, a mounting base at the tail end of the tool holder 1, and a tapered post 2 at the front end of the tool holder 1. The diameter of the front end of the tapered post 2 is smaller than the diameter of the tail end of the tapered post 2, and the diameter of the tail end of the tapered post 2 is the same as the diameter of the tool holder 1. The surface of the tapered post 2 is smooth. The tool holder 1 is made of cemented carbide, and the tool tip 3 is made of PDC material.
[0024] The PCD material of the cutter head 3 has high hardness and low coefficient of thermal expansion, enabling higher machining accuracy. The high hardness of the PCD material ensures the sharpness and wear resistance of the cutting edge, making it less prone to wear during cutting and thus maintaining stable cutting dimensional accuracy. The low coefficient of thermal expansion reduces thermal deformation of the tool during cutting, further improving machining accuracy. When machining aero-engine blades, the integral PCD micro-cutting end mill can achieve high-precision machining of the blade profile, meeting the stringent accuracy requirements of aero-engine blades. Traditional end mills are prone to decreased machining accuracy due to wear and thermal deformation during machining, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-precision machining.
[0025] A connecting column 4 is provided at the front end of the tapered column 2. A cutting head 3 is fixedly installed at the front end of the connecting column 4. A main cutting edge 5 capable of machining the workpiece is provided on the cutting head 3. Auxiliary cutting edge assemblies are provided on both the front and back sides of the main cutting edge 5. The auxiliary cutting edge assembly consists of a chip removal groove 32, a main machining surface 33, and an auxiliary machining surface 31. The chip removal groove 32 is located on one side of the surface of the main cutting edge 5, the main machining surface 33 is located on the other side of the surface of the main cutting edge 5, and the auxiliary machining surface 31 is located on the surface of the main machining surface 33.
[0026] Through the special design of the chip removal groove 32, main machining surface 33, and auxiliary machining surface 31 in the main cutting edge 5 and the auxiliary cutting edge, compared with traditional cutting tools, when the main cutting edge 5 is machining the material, the main machining surface 33 in the auxiliary cutting edge assists in cutting, and the chip removal groove 32 on the auxiliary cutting edge can also assist, and together with the auxiliary machining surface 31, this tool can effectively reduce tool wear and improve the surface quality under high-speed cutting conditions, meeting the high-precision and high-performance machining requirements of aerospace parts. In addition, the micro-edge design of the cutting head 3, combined with the high-precision cutting capability of the main cutting edge 5 and the auxiliary cutting edge, can achieve sub-micron level machining accuracy, ensuring the performance and reliability of electronic components, thereby achieving optimal cutting performance and machining quality, and avoiding the problem of poor tool manufacturing accuracy and consistency due to the high machining difficulty of PCD materials, which increases manufacturing costs.
[0027] Furthermore, the diameter of the cutter head 3 is 2mm, the diameter of the shank 1 is 4mm, and the combined length of the shank 1, tapered column 2, connecting column 4, and cutter head 3 is 50mm. By designing the cutter head 3 with a diameter of 2mm, both the main cutting edge 5 and the auxiliary cutting edge in the cutter head 3 are designed with micro-edges. This allows the cutter head 3 to have high-precision cutting capabilities through the design of the micro-edges, enabling sub-micron level machining accuracy and ensuring the performance and reliability of electronic components.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
