Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a turning tool, and more specifically, to a multi-bladed turning tool. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most multi-blade turning tools used for machining crankshafts made of steel have a flat plate structure. They remove chips by designing chip grooves on the rake face, which results in good chip removal. However, their chip control or chip breaking ability is insufficient, often leading to excessively long chips that accumulate and scratch the workpiece.

[0003] Application number CN201621198580.0 discloses a multi-blade turning and broaching insert for machining crankshaft journals, including an insert body, a tool mounting hole on the insert body, and cutting edges on two cutting surfaces of the insert body. The insert body is a flat insert body, and multiple identical protrusions are provided on both cutting surfaces of the insert body. The top of each protrusion is a cutting edge, and a gap is left between each pair of adjacent protrusions. The cutting edge of the cutting edge is higher than the surface of the gap. The multi-blade turning and broaching insert of this application does not have a structural design for chip removal and chip breaking. During machining, chip accumulation is very likely to occur, causing scratches on the workpiece surface. At the same time, the accumulation of chips will cause heat to accumulate on the insert, making the insert prone to high-temperature wear. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of workpiece surface scratches caused by the accumulation of excessively long chips during crankshaft machining, this utility model provides a multi-blade turning tool.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: A multi-blade lathe insert includes an insert body with a rectangular outline, comprising two parallel upper and lower mounting surfaces and a side mounting surface connecting the two upper and lower mounting surfaces; the upper and lower mounting surfaces are provided with screw mounting and positioning holes penetrating the insert body; the side mounting surface includes a first side mounting surface perpendicular to the short side of the upper and lower mounting surfaces and a second side mounting surface perpendicular to the long side of the upper and lower mounting surfaces; the first side mounting surface mates with an insert mounting base, and the connection between the second side mounting surface and the upper and lower mounting surfaces forms a cutting edge, the cutting edge being provided with multiple protruding cutting teeth; the upper and lower mounting surfaces are provided with chip removal grooves at the cutting teeth, and chip breaker platforms are provided within the chip removal grooves, the chip breaker platforms protruding outwards.

[0006] Furthermore, the outwardly protruding shape of the chip breaking platform resembles a triangle, with the three sides of the triangle curving downwards and connecting to the chip removal groove.

[0007] Furthermore, a chip-receiving groove is provided between the edge of the chip breaker and the chip removal groove, and the chip-receiving groove connects the cutting edge and the chip breaker.

[0008] Furthermore, the protrusion height of the chip breaking stage is 0.15~0.3mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of cutting teeth on the cutting edge is 3 to 7.

[0010] Furthermore, the spacing between two adjacent cutting teeth is equal.

[0011] Furthermore, the first cutting tooth on the cutting edge is located at one end of the blade body, and the last tooth is located at the other end of the blade body.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer surface of the blade body is coated with a wear-resistant coating.

[0013] Furthermore, the blade body is made of cemented carbide.

[0014] Furthermore, the height difference between the lowest and highest points of the chip removal groove is 0.2~0.4mm.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention features a chip removal groove at the chip removal point of the cutting edge, and a chip breaking platform within the groove. During the machining of the outer diameter of a crankshaft, the chip removal groove guides the chips to move along the groove direction, and the raised chip breaking platform increases the resistance of the chips in the direction of movement, causing the chips to break and preventing scratches on the workpiece surface caused by excessively long chips. At the same time, the cutting tool of this invention provides smoother chip removal and chip breaking than traditional cutting tools, avoiding tool wear caused by high temperature accumulation due to poor chip removal.

[0018] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-blade lathe insert, including an insert body. The insert body has a rectangular outline and includes two parallel upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 and a side mounting surface connecting the two upper and lower mounting surfaces. The upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 are provided with screw mounting and positioning holes 4 that penetrate the insert body. Screws are inserted into the positioning holes and fixed to the insert mounting base. The side mounting surface includes a side mounting surface 1 (1) perpendicular to the short side of the upper and lower mounting surfaces and a side mounting surface 2 (2) perpendicular to the long side of the upper and lower mounting surfaces. The side mounting surface 1 mates with the insert mounting base and is locked in place by the screw. The connection between the side mounting surface 2 (2) and the upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 forms a cutting edge 5. The cutting edge 5 is provided with multiple protruding cutting teeth 6. The cutting teeth 6 contact the workpiece during machining to perform cutting operations. The upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 are provided with chip removal grooves 7 at the cutting teeth 6. Chip breaking platforms 8 are provided in the chip removal grooves 7 and protrude outwards.

[0019] The chip breaker 8 has an outwardly protruding shape similar to a triangle. The three sides of the triangle curve downwards and smoothly connect with the chip removal groove 7. The height difference between the lowest and highest points of the chip removal groove 7 is 0.4 mm. A chip receiving groove 9 is also provided between the chip breaker 8 and the edge of the chip removal groove 7. The chip receiving groove 9 is arc-shaped and connects the cutting edge 5 and the chip breaker 8. The protrusion height of the chip breaker 8 is 0.3 mm.

[0020] The first cutting tooth on the cutting edge 5 is located at one end of the insert body, and the last tooth is located at the other end of the insert body. The spacing between two adjacent cutting teeth 6 is equal, thereby ensuring that the amount of material removed by each cutting tooth 6 is consistent, and thus achieving consistent wear of each cutting tooth 6, avoiding the need to replace the entire insert due to wear of a single cutting tooth.

[0021] During machining, the crankshaft workpiece rotates axially on the lathe, and the multi-bladed cutting tool is clamped on the tool holder. The crankshaft is cut by the cutting tool moving radially on the workpiece. Each movement does not exceed the width of the cutting tooth 6, so continuous external turning can be performed. During cutting, the cutting tooth 6 squeezes the workpiece to form chips. The chips are guided into the chip removal grooves 7 on the upper and lower mounting surfaces through the arc-shaped chip grooves 9. At this time, the chips will come into contact with the chip breaking platform 8 in the chip removal groove 7. The chip breaking platform 8 creates resistance to the movement of the chips, causing the chips to break.

[0022] Example 2 like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-blade lathe insert, including an insert body. The insert body has a rectangular outline and includes two parallel upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 and a side mounting surface connecting the two upper and lower mounting surfaces. The upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 are provided with screw mounting and positioning holes 4 that penetrate the insert body. Screws are inserted into the positioning holes and fixed to the insert mounting base. The side mounting surface includes a side mounting surface 1 (1) perpendicular to the short side of the upper and lower mounting surfaces and a side mounting surface 2 (2) perpendicular to the long side of the upper and lower mounting surfaces. The side mounting surface 1 mates with the insert mounting base and is locked in place by the screw. The connection between the side mounting surface 2 (2) and the upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 forms a cutting edge 5. The cutting edge 5 is provided with multiple protruding cutting teeth 6. The cutting teeth 6 contact the workpiece during machining to perform cutting operations. The upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 are provided with chip removal grooves 7 at the cutting teeth 6. Chip breaking platforms 8 are provided in the chip removal grooves 7 and protrude outwards.

[0023] The chip breaker 8 has an outwardly protruding shape similar to a triangle. The three sides of the triangle curve downwards and smoothly connect with the chip removal groove 7. The height difference between the lowest and highest points of the chip removal groove 7 is 0.4 mm. A chip receiving groove 9 is also provided between the chip breaker 8 and the edge of the chip removal groove 7. The chip receiving groove 9 is arc-shaped and connects the cutting edge 5 and the chip breaker 8. The protrusion height of the chip breaker 8 is 0.3 mm.

[0024] The first cutting tooth on the cutting edge 5 is located at one end of the insert body, and the last tooth is located at the other end of the insert body. The spacing between two adjacent cutting teeth 6 is equal, thereby ensuring that the amount of material removed by each cutting tooth 6 is consistent, and thus achieving consistent wear of each cutting tooth 6, avoiding the need to replace the entire insert due to wear of a single cutting tooth.

[0025] Furthermore, the blade body is made of cemented carbide and coated with a wear-resistant coating, which further enhances its wear resistance and high-temperature resistance, and significantly increases its processing life.

[0026] During machining, the crankshaft workpiece rotates axially on the lathe, and the multi-bladed cutting tool is clamped on the tool holder. The crankshaft is cut by the cutting tool moving radially on the workpiece. Each movement does not exceed the width of the cutting tooth 6, so continuous external turning can be performed. During cutting, the cutting tooth 6 squeezes the workpiece to form chips. The chips are guided into the chip removal grooves 7 on the upper and lower mounting surfaces through the arc-shaped chip grooves 9. At this time, the chips will come into contact with the chip breaking platform 8 in the chip removal groove 7. The chip breaking platform 8 creates resistance to the movement of the chips, causing the chips to break.

[0027] Example 3 like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a multi-blade lathe insert, including an insert body. The insert body has a rectangular outline and includes two parallel upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 and a side mounting surface connecting the two upper and lower mounting surfaces. The upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 are provided with screw mounting and positioning holes 4 that penetrate the insert body. Screws are inserted into the positioning holes and fixed to the insert mounting base. The side mounting surface includes a side mounting surface 1 (1) perpendicular to the short side of the upper and lower mounting surfaces and a side mounting surface 2 (2) perpendicular to the long side of the upper and lower mounting surfaces. The side mounting surface 1 mates with the insert mounting base and is locked in place by the screw. The connection between the side mounting surface 2 (2) and the upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 forms a cutting edge 5. The cutting edge 5 is provided with multiple protruding cutting teeth 6. The cutting teeth 6 contact the workpiece during machining to perform cutting operations. The upper and lower mounting surfaces 1 are provided with chip removal grooves 7 at the cutting teeth 6. Chip breaking platforms 8 are provided in the chip removal grooves 7 and protrude outwards.

[0028] The chip breaker 8 has an outwardly protruding shape similar to a triangle. The three sides of the triangle curve downwards and smoothly connect with the chip removal groove 7. The height difference between the lowest and highest points of the chip removal groove 7 is 0.4 mm. A chip receiving groove 9 is also provided between the chip breaker 8 and the edge of the chip removal groove 7. The chip receiving groove 9 is arc-shaped and connects the cutting edge 5 and the chip breaker 8. The protrusion height of the chip breaker 8 is 0.3 mm.

[0029] The first cutting tooth on the cutting edge 5 is located at one end of the insert body, and the last tooth is located at the other end of the insert body. The spacing between two adjacent cutting teeth 6 is equal, thereby ensuring that the amount of material removed by each cutting tooth 6 is consistent, and thus achieving consistent wear of each cutting tooth 6, avoiding the need to replace the entire insert due to wear of a single cutting tooth.

[0030] Furthermore, the number of cutting teeth 6 on the cutting edge 5 is 3 to 7. The number of cutting teeth can be adjusted according to the length dimension of the crankshaft being machined. When the axial distance of the outer circle dimension being machined is short, 3 teeth can be selected, and when the axial dimension is long, the number of teeth can be appropriately increased.

[0031] During machining, the crankshaft workpiece rotates axially on the lathe, and the multi-bladed cutting tool is clamped on the tool holder. The crankshaft is cut by the cutting tool moving radially on the workpiece. Each movement does not exceed the width of the cutting tooth 6, so continuous external turning can be performed. During cutting, the cutting tooth 6 squeezes the workpiece to form chips. The chips are guided into the chip removal grooves 7 on the upper and lower mounting surfaces through the arc-shaped chip grooves 9. At this time, the chips will come into contact with the chip breaking platform 8 in the chip removal groove 7. The chip breaking platform 8 creates resistance to the movement of the chips, causing the chips to break.

[0032] 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 scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
