AI Technical Summary
Existing high-hardness drill bits cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of long service life and hole diameter tolerance control under high precision conditions, especially when machining holes in HRC45~60 mold steel, where it is impossible to achieve a service life of 10m and a hole diameter tolerance of ±0.005mm at the same time.
A high-hardness mold steel drill bit was designed, which adopts a structure with a small helix angle (10°~15°), a small cutting diameter inverted cone (0.1~0.15/100) and a large core thickness (0.35~0.4D), combined with the groove rake angle of the helical groove (2°~6°), and coolant holes are set on the tool body to enhance wear resistance and support.
It achieves an average lifespan of over 10m in hole machining of HRC45~60 mold steel, and the hole diameter tolerance is controlled within ±0.005mm, meeting high precision requirements.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drill bit technology, specifically relating to a drill bit for high-hardness mold steel. Background Technology
[0002] Molds are used in various products, such as automobiles, aerospace, electrical and communications equipment, and medical products and equipment. Many products utilize molds for production, and the materials used for molds are mostly high-hardness mold steels (e.g., HRC45-60). Currently, the high-hardness drill bits commonly used in China, compared to ordinary drill bits, only differ in the type of coating, improving the coating's wear resistance, and their service life can barely reach 10m.
[0003] However, in the machining of holes in mold steel, in addition to testing the wear resistance of the drill bit, there are many high-precision requirements that the drilling must meet directly, such as the hole diameter tolerance requirement of ±0.005mm. There are more and more cases where both the service life requirement (10m) and the high precision requirement (hole diameter tolerance requirement of ±0.005mm) must be met, and ordinary high-hardness steel drill bits cannot meet them at the same time. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drill bit for high-hardness mold steel to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] This application provides a drill bit for high-hardness mold steel, comprising: a drill body and a drill shank; The cutter body is provided with two spiral grooves that extend spirally along the rotation axis of the drill bit. The helix angle α of the spiral groove is 10° to 15°; The blade diameter taper is 0.1 to 0.15 / 100.
[0006] In one embodiment of this application, the cutting diameter of the blade is D; The core thickness d of the cutter body is 0.35 to 0.4D.
[0007] In one embodiment of this application, the groove front angle β of the spiral groove is 2° to 6°.
[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the front end of the blade is provided with two coolant holes.
[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the helix angle α of the helical groove is 10° to 12°.
[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the groove front angle β of the spiral groove is 2° to 4°.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: Unlike existing technologies, this application provides a high-hardness mold steel drill bit, comprising: a blade and a shank; the blade is provided with two spiral grooves extending helically along the drill bit's rotation axis; the spiral angle α of the spiral grooves is 10° to 15°; the cutting diameter taper of the blade is 0.1 to 0.15 / 100. Compared with ordinary high-hardness steel drill bits, this invention reduces the spiral angle of the spiral grooves, reduces the cutting diameter taper and groove rake angle, and increases the drill bit core thickness. The combination of these parameters allows for an average machining life exceeding 10m in machining holes in mold steel with a hardness of HRC45 to 60, while maintaining a hole diameter tolerance of ±0.005mm.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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] This application provides a drill bit for high-hardness mold steel, which will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own emphasis; parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
[0019] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the high-hardness mold steel drill bit includes: a blade 1 and a shank 2; the blade 1 is provided with two spiral grooves 12 extending spirally along the drill bit rotation axis; the spiral angle α of the spiral grooves 12 is 10° to 15°; the cutting diameter of the blade 1 is 0.1 to 0.15 / 100.
[0020] In this embodiment, the small helix angle α is equivalent to reducing the axial rake angle of the main cutting edge, with the aim of increasing the wear resistance of the main cutting edge. The small diameter taper can increase the support force of the drill bit in the hole, which is beneficial to achieving hole diameter tolerance control within ±0.005mm.
[0021] Furthermore, the cutting diameter of the blade 1 is D; the core thickness d of the blade 1 is 0.35 to 0.4D.
[0022] In this embodiment, setting a large core thickness can enhance the overall strength of the drill bit, increasing its strength by more than 20% compared to a typical drill bit.
[0023] Furthermore, the groove front angle β of the spiral groove 12 is 2° to 6°.
[0024] In this embodiment, the groove rake angle refers to the angle of concavity within the helical groove. A smaller groove rake angle ensures that the entire cutting edge of the drill tip has no obvious protrusions or concave points, thus eliminating significant stress concentration points and reducing the risk of abnormal wear.
[0025] Optionally, the front end of the cutter body 1 is provided with two coolant holes 11. Cutting fluid can be discharged from the coolant holes 11.
[0026] Preferably, the helix angle α of the helical groove 12 is 10° to 12°.
[0027] Preferably, the groove inlet angle β of the spiral groove 12 is 2° to 4°.
[0028] In summary, the high-hardness mold steel drill bit of this invention has undergone significant structural design modifications compared to ordinary high-hardness steel drill bits. It reduces the helix angle, the reverse taper of the cutting diameter, and the rake angle of the groove, while increasing the core thickness. The combination of these parameters achieves an average machining life of over 10m in the machining of mold steel holes with a hardness of HRC45 to 60, and the hole diameter tolerance is controlled within ±0.005mm.
