[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a forming turning tool for machining the inner liner of a ball end 10. The forming turning tool includes a cutting head 100 and an insert 200.

[0040] Specifically, the cutting head 100 includes a proximal end portion 110, a middle portion 120, and a distal end portion 130 connected in sequence. Both the proximal end portion 110 and the middle portion 120 are frustum-shaped, with the small end face of the proximal end portion 110 coinciding with the small end face of the middle portion 120. The distal end portion 130 includes a proximal end face, a distal end face 131, and an arcuate side surface 132 disposed between the proximal end face and the distal end face 131. The radius of the proximal end face is larger than the radius of the distal end face 131, and the proximal end face coincides with the large end face of the middle portion 120. A cutting edge 101 is provided around the periphery of the cutting head 100, penetrating the proximal end portion 110, the middle portion 120, and the distal end portion 130, and extending to the distal end face 131. A blade 200 is fitted onto one side surface within the cutting edge 101, and the cutting edge line 201 of the blade 200 protrudes from the cutting edge 101. The cutting edge line 201 of the insert 200 has the same shape as the outer edge of the cutting edge 101. The proximal end 110, the middle part 120, and the distal end 130 are connected sequentially from the proximal end to the distal end of the forming tool. The distal end of the forming tool refers to the end extending into the inner liner, and the proximal end is the opposite end of the distal end. The definitions of the proximal and distal ends of each part of the forming tool are the same as those of the proximal and distal ends of the forming tool itself, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0041] In this embodiment, the proximal end 110 and middle part 120 of the cutting head 100 are designed as frustum shapes, and the side of the distal end 130 is designed as an arc surface. The radius of the proximal end face of the distal end 130 is larger than the radius of the distal end face 131, so that the outer edge shape of the cutting edge 101 at the proximal end 110, middle part 120, and the arc side 132 of the distal end 130 is the same as the inner liner generatrix shape of the ball head 10. The cutting edge line 201 of the insert 200 protrudes from the cutting edge 101, thereby enabling the inner liner machining of the ball head 10 to be completed in one step. This facilitates machining, effectively improves machining efficiency, reduces machining costs, minimizes errors caused by tool changes during machining, achieves higher machining accuracy, and ensures the stability of machining quality. In addition, the design of the insert 200 can prevent wear of the cutting head 100. The low wear of the insert 200 means that the forming tool wears slowly, ensuring machining quality while effectively improving the service life of the forming tool.

[0042] For example, the hardness of the blade 200 is greater than or equal to the hardness of the tip 100.

[0043] For example, the cutting tool 200 is made of cemented carbide, which has high strength and low wear. Preferably, the cemented carbide in this embodiment can be a tungsten carbide-based cemented carbide. Tungsten carbide-based cemented carbide has high hardness, high heat resistance, and high toughness, which can effectively reduce the wear of the cutting tool 200, making the cutting force of the cutting tool 200 more stable and effectively ensuring the machining quality. Of course, the cemented carbide can also be titanium carbide-based, tantalum carbide-based, or other alloys, and is not limited here.

[0044] For example, the shape of the blade 200 can be the same as the shape of the side of the cutting edge 101 so that the blade 200 has good support and improves the service life of the forming head 100.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cutting edge 101 includes a proximal cutting edge 1011 located at the proximal end 110. The radial cross-section of the bottom surface of the proximal cutting edge 1011 is arc-shaped. The generatrix of the bottom surface of the proximal cutting edge 1011 is parallel to the generatrix of the proximal end 110 to facilitate chip removal and to give the cutting head 100 good strength, effectively preventing breakage. Of course, the shape of the bottom surface of the proximal cutting edge 1011 can also be other shapes, which is not limited in this application.

[0046] In some embodiments, continue as follows Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cutting edge 101 includes an intermediate cutting edge 1012 disposed in the intermediate portion 120. The radial cross-section of the bottom surface of the intermediate cutting edge 1012 is arc-shaped. The generatrix of the bottom surface of the intermediate cutting edge 1012 is parallel to the generatrix of the intermediate portion 120. The transition between the proximal cutting edge 1011 and the distal cutting edge 1013 is smooth to facilitate chip removal and to give the cutting head 100 good strength, effectively preventing breakage. Of course, the bottom surface shape of the intermediate cutting edge 1012 can also be other shapes, which is not limited in this application.

[0047] In some embodiments, continue as follows Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cutting edge 101 includes a distal cutting edge 1013 located at the distal end 130. The radial cross-section of the bottom surface of the distal cutting edge 1013 is arc-shaped, and the proximal cross-sectional area of ​​the distal cutting edge 1013 is larger than the distal cross-sectional area. This facilitates chip removal while ensuring the strength of the cutting edge 101 at the distal end 130, effectively preventing breakage, protecting the insert 200, and improving the service life of the forming cutter head 100. Exemplarily, the cross-sectional area of ​​the distal cutting edge 1013 can gradually decrease from the proximal end to the distal end. Of course, the bottom surface shape of the distal cutting edge 1013 can also be other shapes, which are not limited in this application.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 2 As shown, the intersection line of the cutting edge 101 and the distal end face 131 is located inside the edge line of the distal end face 131, so that the cutting edge line 201 of the cutting edge 101 at the distal end face 131 can cut the inner substrate surface of the ball head 10. Exemplarily, the distal cutting edge 1013 intersects the distal end face 131 to form an arc line 10131, which is located inside the edge line of the distal end face 131. Exemplarily, the arc line 10131 and the distal end face 131 can have the same center.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the two sides of the cutting edge 101 are set at an angle, and the value of the included angle α between the two sides of the cutting edge 101 is in the range of 30°-90°, so as to ensure that the cutting head 100 has sufficient strength and that the cutting edge 101 has an appropriate size to facilitate chip removal.

[0050] For example, the two sides of the cutting edge 101 extend to intersect the axis of the cutting head 100 so that the angle between the cutting blade 200 and the inner liner of the ball head 10 is more suitable for cutting.

[0051] In this embodiment, reference continues to be made to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cutter head 100 also includes a clearance portion 140, which is axially disposed on one side of the large end face of the proximal end portion 110. The clearance portion 140 includes a disc body 141 and a frustum body 142 connected to the disc body 141. The proximal end of the frustum body 142 coincides with the large end face of the disc body 141, and the disc body 141 is located between the frustum body 142 and the proximal end portion 110. In this embodiment, the clearance portion 140 can prevent damage caused by collision between the cutter head 100 and the ball head 10.

[0052] In this embodiment, reference continues to be made to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cutting head 100 also includes a transition portion 150 disposed between the proximal end portion 110 and the clearance portion 140, with the cutting edge 101 penetrating through the transition portion 150. The distal end of the transition portion 150 connects to the proximal end portion 110, and a first transition arc surface 151 is formed between the distal end of the transition portion 150 and the proximal end portion 110; the proximal end of the transition portion 150 connects to the disk body 141, and a second transition arc surface 152 is formed between the proximal end of the transition portion 150 and the disk body 141. The provision of the transition portion 150, the first transition arc surface 151, and the second transition arc surface 152 allows for the forming of the inner liner end of the ball head 10, avoiding secondary processing.

[0053] For example, the shape of the transition portion 150 is designed according to the inner lining structure of the ball head 10. In this embodiment, the transition portion 150 is shaped like a frustum. The large end face of the transition portion 150 is connected to the disk, and the small end face of the transition portion 150 is connected to the large end face of the proximal end portion 110.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cutter head 100 is provided with at least one cutting edge 101. When the cutter head 100 is provided with multiple cutting edges 101 at intervals along the circumference, the blade 200 is provided with multiple blades and is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the cutting edges 101, which can speed up the forming of the inner liner of the ball head 10 and improve the processing efficiency of the inner liner of the ball head 10.

[0055] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1As shown, the forming turning tool also includes a tool holder 300, which is connected to the proximal end of the tool head 100 to facilitate connection between the forming turning tool and the tool post of the lathe. Specifically, the tool holder 300 is connected to the frustum 142.

[0056] For example, a reinforcing part 310 is provided between the handle 300 and the cutter head 100 to ensure the connection strength between the handle 300 and the cutter head 100. The reinforcing part 310 can be formed by welding.

[0057] In this embodiment, the forming lathe tool is used as follows: First, the tool holder 300 is inserted into the tool post of the lathe and fixed. Then, the position and angle of the tool head 100 are adjusted so that the cutting tool 200 contacts the inner liner surface of the ball head 10. Then, the lathe is started, and the feed speed of the lathe and the rotation speed of the tool are controlled to perform precision turning. The forming lathe tool can accurately control the machining parameters to complete the machining of the inner liner of the ball head 10 in one go, simplifying the machining process, making the machining more convenient, and avoiding the occurrence of multiple machining or repairs, thereby improving machining efficiency and machining quality, and greatly saving machining time and costs.

[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
