Detailed Implementation
[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0035] It should be understood that the phrase "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" throughout the specification means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic related to the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a milling tool provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shown is an exploded view of a milling tool. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The image shows a front view of a milling cutter. This milling cutter may include: a milling cutter body 100, a grinding disc 200, a grinding wheel 300, and a position adjustment component W. This milling cutter can be a tool that integrates cutting and grinding.
[0037] The milling cutter body 100 in the milling tool may have an edge milling region Q1 and a central non-milling region Q2. Here, the edge milling region Q1 of the milling cutter body 100 may be provided with a milling insert A.
[0038] The roller 200 in the milling cutter can be installed in the central non-milling area Q2 of the milling cutter body 100 and can move relative to the milling cutter body 100 along the axial direction of the milling cutter body 100.
[0039] The hobbing wheel 300 in the milling cutter can be mounted on the side of the roller 200 away from the milling cutter body 100 and can be rotatably connected to the roller 200. The axial direction of the hobbing wheel 300 can be perpendicular to the axial direction of the milling cutter body 100, and the circumferential side C of the hobbing wheel 300 to be ground can protrude beyond the lowest milling edge R distributed in the edge milling area Q1. For example, the range H of the circumferential side C of the hobbing wheel 300 protruding beyond the lowest milling edge R distributed in the edge milling area Q1 can be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.01 mm. It should be noted that the circumferential side C of the hobbing wheel 300 to be ground is the side currently in contact with the workpiece during grinding, and the lowest milling edge R distributed in the milling area Q1 is the milling edge of the milling insert A closest to the workpiece.
[0040] The number of grinding wheels 300 can be one or two. When there are two grinding wheels 300, the central axes of the two grinding wheels 300 can be set in parallel, and the plane containing the central axes of the two grinding wheels 300 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the milling cutter body 100.
[0041] The position adjustment component W can be connected to both the milling cutter body 100 and the grinding wheel 200. The position adjustment component W can be configured to drive the grinding wheel 200 and the grinding wheel 300 to move simultaneously relative to the milling cutter body 100 to maintain a target position. This target position is the position maintained by the grinding wheel 300 when its circumferential side C to be ground contacts the workpiece during milling.
[0042] In this embodiment, the roller 200 and the milling cutter body 100 are mounted on a height-adjustable mechanical structure via a position adjustment component W. This structure provides a certain reaction force to the roller 200, ensuring that the grinding wheel 300 maintains continuous contact with the workpiece for cutting. Simultaneously, the primary direction of the cutting force in milling is to pull the workpiece up; this structure can offset some of the pulling force, thereby improving the surface quality and flatness of the machined surface. Furthermore, combining milling and micro-grinding in a single integrated design effectively avoids the dimensional and positional tolerance errors introduced by secondary clamping, ensuring excellent control of the allowance in micro-grinding and achieving higher surface finish. Moreover, this structure reacts to the workpiece surface, effectively counteracting the workpiece pulling force generated during the initial cutting process, achieving ultra-high flatness machining.
[0043] In this embodiment, the position adjustment member W may include at least one elastic member 400 and at least one set of magnetic members 500. The elastic member 400 in the milling cutter may be distributed between the central non-milling region Q2 and the roller 200, with both ends respectively abutting against the milling cutter body 100 and the roller 200. The set of magnetic members 500 may include two magnetic members 500 arranged opposite each other. The two magnetic members 500 may be respectively mounted on the central non-milling region Q2 of the milling cutter body 100 and the roller 200, and the two surfaces of the two magnetic members 500 with the same magnetic poles are arranged facing each other so that the two magnetic members 500 repel each other magnetically.
[0044] In this way, the roller 200 and the milling cutter body 100 are mounted together via the variable-pitch elastic element 400 to form a mechanical structure with adjustable height. The magnet 500 provides a certain reaction force to the roller 200, ensuring that the grinding wheel 300 maintains continuous contact with the workpiece for cutting. Simultaneously, the main direction of the cutting force in milling is to pull the workpiece up; this structure can offset some of the pulling force, thus improving the surface quality and flatness of the machined material. Furthermore, combining milling and micro-grinding in an integrated design effectively avoids the dimensional and positional tolerance errors introduced by secondary clamping, ensuring excellent control of the allowance in micro-grinding and achieving higher surface finish. This structure also reacts to the workpiece surface, effectively counteracting the workpiece pulling force generated during the initial cutting process, achieving ultra-high flatness machining.
[0045] Optionally, at least one of the two magnetically identical magnetic components 500 in a set of magnetic components 500 can be a permanent magnet. For example, both magnetically identical magnetic components 500 in a set of magnetic components 500 can be permanent magnets. In this way, using permanent magnets for the magnetic components 500 facilitates installation, removal, and maintenance on the roller 200 and the milling cutter body 100.
[0046] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 4 This is an exploded view of a milling tool provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of a milling tool provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of another milling cutter provided in an embodiment of this application. The milling cutter may include multiple sets of magnets 500, which can be arranged circumferentially around the milling cutter body 100. In this way, the multiple sets of magnets 500 can provide uniform magnetic force to the roller 200, ensuring the movement stability of the roller 200 and the grinding stability of the grinding wheel 300 disposed on the roller 200.
[0047] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, both the milling cutter body 100 and the roller 200 can have mounting slots c1 for mounting the magnet component 500. Thus, by providing mounting slots c1 on the roller 200 and the milling cutter body 100, the magnet component 500 can be positioned and mounted. Furthermore, mounting the magnet component 500 within the mounting slots c1 effectively reduces the overall size of the milling cutter, ensuring a compact structure.
[0048] Optional, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the milling cutter body 100 may include a cutter body portion 101 and a fastener 102. The cutter body portion 101 may have a fastening hole 101a, and the roller 200 may have a mounting through hole 201 communicating with the fastening hole 101a. One end of the fastener 102 may pass through the mounting through hole 201 and be fastened to the fastening hole 101a in the cutter body portion 101. In this case, the roller 200 and the milling cutter body 100 can be installed and adjusted by adjusting the relative connection position of the fastener 102 and the fastening hole 101a of the cutter body portion 101. Here, the cutter body portion 101 may be provided with a milling insert R.
[0049] For example, fastener 102 can be an adjusting screw, fastening hole 101a can be a screw hole, roller 200 and milling cutter body 100 are installed and adjusted by screws and variable pitch spring, and are also assisted by a strong magnet. Grinding wheel 300 is installed on roller 200 with lateral clearance, and grinding wheel 300 can rotate on its own.
[0050] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cutter body 101 has a positioning groove b1 distributed in the central non-milling area Q2 that matches the shape of the roller 200. At least a portion of the roller 200 is located within the positioning groove b1 and can be slidably connected to the positioning groove b1. In this way, the positioning groove b1 enables the positioning and installation of the roller 200, and ensures the installation accuracy of the roller 200.
[0051] For example, the cross-sectional shape of the roller 200 can be circular, and the shape of the positioning groove b1 can also be circular. The roller 200 can be clearance-fitted with the positioning groove b1.
[0052] In this embodiment, the elastic element 400 in the milling cutter can be a spring, which can be sleeved on the fastener 102. For example, the spring can be a helical spring.
[0053] Here, there can be multiple elastic elements 400, which can be arranged circumferentially around the milling cutter body 100. In this way, multiple elastic elements 400 can provide uniform magnetic force to the roller 200, ensuring the movement stability of the roller 200 and the grinding stability of the grinding wheel 300 set on the roller 200.
[0054] For example, multiple sets of magnetic components 500 and multiple elastic components 400 can be arranged alternately. For instance, multiple sets of magnetic components 500 and multiple elastic components 400 can be alternately and equidistantly arranged.
[0055] Optional, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the roller 200 may have a limiting mounting groove 202 and an opening 203 communicating with the limiting mounting groove 202. A portion of the grinding wheel 300 may be located within the limiting mounting groove 202 and have a communicating hole 301. The milling tool that integrates cutting and grinding includes: a limiting locking member 600, one end of which passes through the opening 203 and is fastened to the roller 200. The grinding wheel 300 can be rotatably sleeved on the limiting locking member 600 through the communicating hole 301.
[0056] For example, after the grinding wheel 300 is installed in the limiting mounting groove 202 in the roller 200, one end of the limiting locking member 600 passes through the opening 203 and the connecting hole 301 in the grinding wheel 300 and is then securely connected to the roller 200. This facilitates the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the grinding wheel 300.
[0057] In summary, this application provides a milling tool that may include: a milling cutter body 100, a roller 200, a grinding wheel 300, at least one elastic element 400, and at least one set of magnetic elements 500. The roller 200 and the milling cutter body 100 are mounted together via a variable-pitch spring to form a shape-adjustable height mechanical structure. The magnetic elements 500 provide a certain reaction force to the roller 200, ensuring that the grinding wheel 300 maintains continuous contact with the workpiece for cutting. Since the primary direction of the cutting force in milling is to pull the workpiece up, this structure can offset some of the pulling force, thereby improving the surface quality and flatness of the machined surface. Furthermore, combining milling and micro-grinding in a single integrated design effectively avoids the dimensional and positional tolerance errors introduced by secondary clamping, ensuring excellent control of the allowance in micro-grinding and achieving higher surface finish. Simultaneously, this structure reacts to the workpiece surface, effectively offsetting the workpiece pulling force generated during the initial cutting process, achieving ultra-high flatness machining.

[0059] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
