Description

[0001] Description

[0002] drill

[0003] State of the art

[0004] Various drill bits are already known. One type of drill bit has a drill tip with a so-called cross-ground finish. Part of the cross-ground finish is a so-called point thinning, which forms an angle of 30° at the drill tip.

[0005] Disclosure of the invention

[0006] The invention relates to a drill, in particular a twist drill or a step drill, preferably for drilling metal, with a cutting part which has a drill tip and at least two spiral grooves extending from the drill tip to an end of the cutting part opposite the drill tip, which spiral grooves each open into a point thinning in the region of the drill tip, the point thinning forming a cross-ground surface.

[0007] It is proposed that the point thinnings each have an opening angle of less than 30°.

[0008] Particularly in a configuration of the drill as a step drill, one or more additional cutting parts can be connected to the cutting part. The additional cutting parts can also have one or more flutes or be designed without them. The drill is preferably intended for use in a hand-held drill. For this purpose, the drill preferably has a tool shank that is connected in particular to the cutting part or one of the additional cutting parts and is intended to be received in a tool holder, in particular a chuck, of the hand-held drill.

[0009] The cutting part preferably has a central axis. The central axis is, in particular, a geometric central axis and / or axis of symmetry. In particular, at least the cutting part is rotationally symmetrical with respect to the central axis. The drill can be designed to be driven to rotate around the central axis to create a hole.

[0010] The helical grooves each have, in particular, a leading and a trailing partial surface. The leading partial surface and the trailing partial surface adjoin one another, in particular at a dividing line. The dividing line can be formed by the points on the helical groove which are each at the smallest distance from the central axis along the helical groove. The dividing line can wind around the central axis, in particular in a spiral shape, at a pitch angle which corresponds to the helix angle. Advantageously, the leading partial surface has normal vectors at arbitrary points which each have at least one partial component parallel to the central axis which points away from the drill tip. Advantageously, the trailing partial surface has, at arbitrary points, normal vectors which each have at least one partial component parallel to the central axis which points towards the drill tip.The partial surfaces of the helical grooves each have a common edge with a lateral surface of the cutting part. At least the edge of the respective leading partial surface can have a reinforcement, a coating, and / or a special grinding finish and / or can have been subjected to a separate hardening process.

[0011] The leading partial surface can end at the drill tip in a main cutting edge. The trailing partial surface ends, particularly in the area of ​​the drill tip, at the point where the tip is thinned. The trailing partial surface and the point where the tip is thinned meet at a transition edge. Alternatively, designs with a smooth transition between the trailing partial surface and the point where the tip is thinned are conceivable. The point where the tip is thinned can form a first common edge with part of the leading partial surface, which extends from an end of the main cutting edge near the central axis away from the drill tip.

[0012] The drill bit preferably has a conical or cone-shaped tip. The drill bit can have a tip angle of 135°. The drill bit preferably has a tip angle between 135° and 140°, preferably between 135° and 138°.

[0013] The opening angle of the thinning can be understood as the angle of intersection of the central axis with a plane that lies tangentially at the end of the thinning on the drill tip side. The thinnings can each be formed by a flat grind. Alternatively, the thinnings can be formed by a hollow grind, particularly a round one.

[0014] "Intended" should be understood in particular to mean specifically programmed, designed, and / or equipped. The fact that an object is intended for a specific function should be understood in particular to mean that the object fulfills and / or performs this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state.

[0015] The design of the drill according to the invention makes it possible to achieve, in particular, high durability. In particular, a chip space at the drill tip can be enlarged to achieve improved machining, particularly at a secondary cutting edge of the drill tip, and / or improved chip removal.

[0016] It is further proposed that the spiral flutes have a helix angle, in particular also called a rake angle, of more than 30°, at least near the drill tip. The helix angle is preferably constant for the entire respective spiral flute. Alternatively, it is conceivable for the helix angle to vary along the respective spiral flute. This makes it possible to achieve, in particular, reduced force requirements for drilling advance, which is particularly advantageous when the drill is used in a hand drill. Furthermore, a reduced sensitivity of the drill to a drilling angle and / or uniform machining, in particular with regard to changing drilling angles, as arise in particular due to wobbling or changing holding position of the hand drill by a user, can be achieved.

[0017] The turning grooves advantageously have a helix angle between 35° and 45°, preferably between 40° and 45°. The point thinnings can each have an opening angle between 18° and 28°. Preferably, the point thinnings each have an opening angle of 27°.

[0018] In particular, the interaction of a reduced helix angle in conjunction with a reduced opening angle of the thinning can achieve an increase in the chip space.

[0019] For example, a secondary cutting edge is formed on each of the thinnings, which is arranged between the main cutting edge and the central axis. In particular, the secondary cutting edge and the main cutting edge form an angle between 80° and 130°, in particular between 90° and 120°. In particular, the secondary cutting edge extends from an end of the main cutting edge near the central axis to the central axis or an axis parallel to the central axis, which has a distance from the central axis that is less than 3%, in particular less than 2%, advantageously less than 1%, of a diameter of the cutting part. This makes it possible, in particular, to achieve good centering of the drill.

[0020] It is further proposed that the minor cutting edge have a rake angle between 5° and 30°. The rake angle of the minor cutting edge should be understood in particular as the cutting angle of a plane in which the minor cutting edge and the first common edge lie, with the central axis. In particular, this can achieve good cutting action of the minor cutting edge. According to further embodiments, it is conceivable for the minor cutting edge to have a rake angle of less than 5°, in particular between 0° and 5°. The minor cutting edge can have a length that corresponds to at least 5%, in particular at least 7%, of a diameter of the cutting part. This can in particular create a large chip space.

[0021] Furthermore, the drill tip can have a clearance angle between 5° and 15°, which allows a particularly advantageous cutting effect to be achieved.

[0022] The drill bit advantageously comprises a chisel edge with a length corresponding to 0% to 5% of the diameter of the cutting part. The chisel edge is advantageously shorter than 4%, in particular shorter than 2%, preferably shorter than 1% of the diameter of the cutting part. The chisel edge can be located between the ends of the secondary cutting edges closest to the central axis. A diameter of the cutting part is understood, in particular, to be the diameter of the smallest imaginary circular cylinder that completely encloses the cutting part.

[0023] Preferably, the cross cutting edge has a length corresponding to 5% to 15%, preferably 5% to 10%, of a diameter of the drill tip.

[0024] It is further proposed that the drill tip have at least one chisel edge which extends at least substantially perpendicular to a central axis across the central axis. The chisel edge forms, in particular, a tip of the drill tip. Preferably, the chisel edge extends perpendicular to the central axis of the drill. The chisel edge extends, in particular, parallel to a longitudinal axis of the drill through a geometric center of the drill. The length of the chisel edge is, in particular, more than 1%, preferably more than 2%, of a diameter of the drill. Preferably, the length of the chisel edge is, in particular, less than 15%, preferably less than 10%, of a diameter of the drill. This makes it possible, in particular, to provide an advantageous drill tip.

[0025] Furthermore, it is proposed that the secondary cutting edges are aligned at least substantially parallel to the chisel cutting edge, offset from the chisel cutting edge. The two secondary cutting edges are arranged in particular on opposite sides of the chisel cutting edge. By “substantially parallel” is meant here in particular an alignment of a direction relative to a reference direction, in particular in a plane, wherein the direction has a deviation from the reference direction in particular of less than 8°, advantageously less than 5° and particularly advantageously less than 2°. The secondary cutting edges each border in particular directly on one of the main cutting edges, wherein the secondary cutting edges are angled relative to the main cutting edges. Preferably, the secondary cutting edge of a first cutting wing borders on the point thinning of a second cutting wing, while the secondary cutting edge of the second cutting wing borders on the point thinning of the first cutting wing.This makes it possible, in particular, to provide an advantageous, efficient drill tip. In particular, it makes it possible to achieve advantageous drilling results in different materials. In particular, it makes it possible to provide an advantageously large angle of a secondary chisel surface.

[0026] It is further proposed that the drill tip have at least two further thinnings directly adjacent to the main cutting edge, each forming a partial rake face and each being concavely curved about an axis which runs at least substantially parallel to the respective adjacent main cutting edge. The further thinnings form in particular a furrow and / or groove. The further thinnings preferably each form a depression in the helical groove. The thinnings preferably extend substantially parallel to the extent of the respective adjacent main cutting edge. The main cutting edges have an advantageously constant wedge angle adjacent to the further thinnings, in particular over their entire extent. The wedge angle of the main cutting edges is in particular between 62° and 66° over the entire cutting edge. The wedge angle is preferably advantageously aggressive, in particular in a radially outer region of the main cutting edges.The rake angle of the main cutting edge is preferably between 11° and 17°. This allows for a higher cutting force and lower stress. The drill tip preferably has an advantageously short flank, which results in particularly low friction.

[0027] It is further proposed that a radius of the curvature of the further thinnings is substantially smaller than a radius of a concave curvature of the turning grooves. Preferably, a radius of the curvature of the further thinnings is not constant and can change over the course. Preferably, the radius of the curvature of the further thinnings changes continuously. Preferably, the radius of the curvature of the further thinnings is at least substantially constant. Furthermore, it is proposed that a radius of the curvature of the further thinnings is less than 2 mm. Preferably, a radius of the curvature of the further thinnings is less than 2 mm at every point along the main cutting edge. Preferably, a radius of the curvature of the further thinnings is less than 1.5 mm at every point along the main cutting edge, particularly preferably less than 1 mm.Preferably, the radius of curvature of the additional point thinnings is between 0.75 mm and 0.9 mm. This makes it possible to provide, in particular, an advantageous, efficient drill tip. In particular, it makes it possible to provide an advantageous wedge angle and / or rake angle of the main cutting edges.

[0028] It is further proposed that the further thinnings each have a maximum thinning length that is greater than a main cutting edge length of the main cutting edges. Preferably, the further thinnings have an identical maximum thinning length. The thinning length corresponds in particular to a maximum extent of the respective further thinning. Preferably, the thinning length of the further thinnings is at least 110%, preferably at least 120% and particularly preferably at least 140% of the main cutting edge length of the main cutting edges. Preferably, the main cutting edge length of the main cutting edges is 1.755 mm for a drill tip diameter of at least approximately 4 mm. Preferably, the thinning length of the further thinnings is more than 2 mm, preferably more than 2.2 mm and particularly preferably more than 2.3 mm for a drill tip diameter of at least approximately 4 mm.Preferably, the length of the additional thinnings is at least approximately 2.5 mm for a drill tip diameter of at least approximately 4 mm. This allows for particularly advantageous additional thinning.

[0029] Preferably, the secondary cutting edges each have a length that is less than 30%, preferably less than 20%, and preferably less than 15% of the main cutting edge length. Preferably, the length of the secondary cutting edges is at least approximately 0.23 mm for a drill tip diameter of at least approximately 4 mm. Preferably, the chisel edge has a length of less than 0.4 mm, preferably at least approximately 0.35 mm, for a drill tip diameter of at least approximately 4 mm.

[0030] An angle between the main cutting edge and the secondary cutting edge of a cutting blade is in particular between 140° and 160°. Preferably, the angle between the main cutting edge and the secondary cutting edge of a cutting blade is at least approximately 151°. An angle between the chisel cutting edge and the secondary cutting edge is in particular between 140° and 170°. Preferably, the angle between the chisel cutting edge and the secondary cutting edge is at least approximately 155°. An angle between the main cutting edge and the chisel cutting edge is in particular between 120° and 140°. Preferably, the angle between the main cutting edge and the chisel cutting edge is at least approximately 128°. An angle between a primary flank and a Z-axis is in particular between 20° and 25°, preferably at least approximately 22°. An angle between a secondary flank and a Z-axis is in particular between 50° and 60°, preferably at least approximately 56.5°.An angle between the primary flank and the secondary flank is in particular between 120° and 140°, preferably at least approximately 130°. Preferably, an angle between the further point thinning and the main cutting edge of a cutting wing is between 5° and 15°. Preferably, an angle between the further point thinning and the main cutting edge of a cutting wing is at least approximately 10°. Furthermore, the tip of the drill bit has in particular an opening angle between 120° and 140°. Preferably, the opening angle of the tip is at least approximately 130°, preferably exactly 129.8°.

[0031] Furthermore, a method for producing a drill bit as described above is proposed. For example, the method comprises providing a blank. The method may further comprise cutting the indexable flutes into the blank at a predetermined helix angle, in particular more than 30°. Furthermore, the method may comprise sharpening one end of the blank, wherein the tip is in particular given a conical or cone-like grind. Sharpening may further comprise grinding the thinnings at a predetermined opening angle, in particular less than 30°.

[0032] The drill according to the invention is not intended to be limited to the application and embodiment described above. In particular, the drill according to the invention may have a number of individual elements, components, units, and method steps that differs from the number stated herein to fulfill a function described herein. Furthermore, in the value ranges specified in this disclosure, values ​​within the stated limits are also to be considered disclosed and can be used arbitrarily.

[0047] Description of the embodiments

[0048] Figures 1 to 7 show a drill 10a and various detailed views of the drill 10a. The drill 10a is a twist drill. Equivalent configurations can also be used on a step drill. The drill 10a is a metal drill. The drill 10a is intended for metalworking, in particular for drilling metal.

[0049] The drill bit 10a has a cutting part 12a. The cutting part 12a has a drill bit tip 14a at one end. The drill bit tip 14a has a point grind. The point grind has a point angle 15a of 135°.

[0050] The cutting part 12a has a cylindrical base shape. The cutting part 12a has a central axis 11a. The cutting part 12a is rotationally symmetrical with respect to the central axis 11a. The cutting part 12a further has two turning grooves 16a, 16'a extending from the drill tip 14a to an end of the cutting part 12a opposite the drill tip 14a. The turning grooves 16a, 16'a each terminate in a point thinning 18a, 18'a in the area of ​​the drill tip 14a (see Figs. 2 to 7).

[0051] The point thinnings 18a, 18'a form a cross-ground finish. The point thinnings 18a, 18'a are also called surface finishes. The point thinnings 18a, 18'a each have an opening angle 19a of less than 30° (see 6). The opening angle 19a of the point thinnings 18a, 18'a is between 18° and 28°. The opening angle 19a of the point thinnings 18a, 18'a is 27°.

[0052] According to alternative embodiments, the opening angle is less than 27°. This allows for improved cutting performance, particularly at the expense of durability.

[0053] The turning grooves 16a, 16'a have a helix angle 17a of more than 30° near the drill tip 14a. The helix angle 17a of the turning grooves 16a, 16'a is constant along the entire cutting part 12a. The helix angle 17a is between 35° and 45°. The helix angle 17a is 45°.

[0054] Leading partial surfaces of the turning grooves 16a, 16'a each end at the drill tip 14a in a main cutting edge 20a, 20'a.

[0055] At the point thinnings 18a, 18'a, a secondary cutting edge 22a, 22'a is formed, which is arranged between the respective main cutting edge 20a and the central axis 11a.

[0056] The secondary cutting edges 22a, 22'a each have a rake angle 23a between 5° and 30° (see Fig. 7).

[0057] The drill tip 14a has a clearance angle between 5° and 15° (not shown in detail).

[0058] The drill tip 14a has a chisel edge 24a with a length between 0% and 5% of a diameter 13a of the cutting part 12a (see Fig. 4). The diameter 13a of the cutting part 12a is, for example, 6 mm. According to alternative embodiments, the cutting part can have a diameter between 1 mm and 20 mm. The chisel edge 24a can have a chisel angle between 125° and 135°.

[0059] The secondary cutting edge 22a and an edge 26a form a triangle. The triangle defines a chip space 30a. The edge 26a extends from a first point, where the respective secondary cutting edge 22a, 22'a and the respective primary cutting edge 20a, 20'a meet, away from the drill tip 14a to a second point. At the edge 26a, the respective thinning 18a, 18'a meets the leading partial surface of the respective helical groove 16a, 16'a. At the second point, a dividing line between the thinning 18a, 18'a and the respective leading partial surface has a kink, in particular between 70° and 110°. A size of the triangle and thus of the chip space 30a is determined by a length of the secondary cutting edge 22a, 22'a, the opening angle 19a of the point thinning 18a, 18'a and the helix angle 17a of the corresponding helical groove 16a, 16'a.Increasing the helix angle 17a compared to a helix angle of 45° and reducing the opening angle 19a compared to an opening angle of 30° results in an enlargement of the triangle and thus of the chip space 30a. A large chip space 30a is primarily beneficial for improved chip removal, which can lead to improved centering of the drill 10a and a longer service life of the drill 10a or the drill tip 14a.

[0060] The first point is 0.069 mm parallel to the central axis 11a from a tip of the drill 10a. The first point is 0.71 mm from the central axis 11a. The second point is 0.902 mm parallel to the central axis 11a from the tip of the drill 10a. The second point is 0.554 mm from the central axis 11a. The triangle defining the chip space 30a has an area of ​​0.975 mm 2 on.

[0061] According to alternative embodiments, the first point can be between 0.061 mm and 0.137 mm, in particular between 0.06664 mm and 0.06936 mm, preferably between 0.06664 mm and 0.069 mm, parallel to the central axis from the tip of the drill. According to alternative embodiments, the first point can be between 0.692 mm and 0.74 mm, in particular between 0.6958 mm and 0.7242 mm, parallel to the central axis. The second point can alternatively be between 0.88396 mm and 2.09 mm, in particular between 0.88396 mm and 0.92004 mm, parallel to the central axis from the tip of the drill 10a. The second point can alternatively be between 0.51 mm and 0.632 mm, in particular between 0.54292 mm and 0.56508 mm, from the central axis 11 a. The triangle defining the chip space 30a can, according to alternative embodiments, have an area between 0.9314 mm 2 and 1,385 mm 2 , especially between 0.9555 mm 2 and 0.9945 mm 2For drills with larger or smaller diameters, the triangle would scale accordingly.

[0062] A tool shank 28a is connected to the cutting part 12a. The tool shank 28a can have the same diameter as the cutting part 12a. The tool shank 28a can be cylindrical and smooth or can have connecting elements designed to interact with a tool holder of a drilling machine.

[0063] The cutting part 12a can have a core thickness between 10% and 25%, in particular between 15% and 20%, of the diameter 13a of the cutting part 12a. The cutting part 12a has a core thickness of 1.1 mm. The main cutting edges 20a, 20'a have a main cutting edge offset between 10% and 20%, in particular between 12% and 17%, of the diameter 13a of the cutting part 12a. The main cutting edges 20a, 20'a have a main cutting edge offset of 0.86 mm. A length of the secondary cutting edges 22a, 22'a is limited in particular by a size of the main cutting edge offset. The secondary cutting edges 22a, 22'a have a secondary cutting edge offset between 0% and 2.5% of the diameter 13a of the cutting part 12a. The minor cutting edges 22a, 22'a have a minor cutting edge offset between 0.01 mm and 0.15 mm.

[0064] Figures 8 to 14 show a further embodiment of the invention. The following descriptions are essentially limited to the differences between the embodiments, whereby with regard to identical components, features and functions reference can be made to the description of the embodiment in Figures 1 to 7. To distinguish the embodiments, the letter a in the reference numerals of the embodiment in Figures 1 to 7 has been replaced by the letter b in the reference numerals of the embodiment in Figures 8 to 14. With regard to components with the same reference numerals, in particular with regard to components with the same reference numerals, reference can also be made to the drawings and / or the description of the embodiment in Figures 1 to 7. Figure 8 shows a drill 10b. The drill 10b is formed by a step drill. The drill 10b is a metal drill.The drill 10b is intended for metalworking, in particular for drilling metal.

[0065] The drill bit 10b has a cutting part 12b. The cutting part 12b has a drill bit tip 14b at one end. The drill bit tip 14b has a point grind. The point grind has a point angle 15b of 135° to 140° (nominal dimension).

[0066] The cutting part 12b has a conical base shape. The cutting part 12b has a central axis 11b. The cutting part 12b is rotationally symmetrical with respect to the central axis 11b. The central axis 11b is formed by a rotational axis of the drill 10b. The cutting part 12b further has two turning grooves 16b, 16'b extending from the drill tip 14b to an end of the cutting part 12b opposite the drill tip 14b. The turning grooves 16b, 16'b each terminate in a point thinning 18b, 18'b and a further point thinning 33b, 33'b in the area of ​​the drill tip 14b.

[0067] The point thinnings 18b, 18'b form a cross-ground finish. The point thinnings 18b, 18'b are also called surface finishes. The point thinnings 18b, 18'b each have an opening angle 19b of less than 30°. The opening angle 19b of the point thinnings 18b, 18'b is between 18° and 28°. The opening angle 19b of the point thinnings 18b, 18'b is 27°.

[0068] The turning grooves 16b, 16'b have a helix angle 17b of more than 30° near the drill tip 14b. The helix angle 17b of the turning grooves 16b, 16'b is constant along the entire cutting part 12b. The helix angle 17b is between 35° and 45°. The helix angle 17b is 45°.

[0069] At the point thinning 18b, 18'b, a secondary cutting edge 22b, 22'b is formed in each case, which is arranged between a respective main cutting edge 20b and the central axis 11b. The secondary cutting edges 22b, 22'b each have a rake angle 23b between 5° and 30°. The drill tip 14b furthermore has a transverse cutting edge 24b, which extends essentially perpendicular to a central axis 11b across the central axis 11b. The transverse cutting edge 24b forms a tip of the drill tip 14b. The transverse cutting edge 24b extends perpendicular to the central axis 11b of the drill 10b. The central axis 11b extends parallel to a longitudinal axis of the drill 10b through a geometric center of the drill 10b. The diameter 13b of the cutting part 12b is, for example, 6 mm. According to alternative embodiments, the cutting part 12b can have a diameter between 1 mm and 20 mm. The cross-cutting edge 24b can have a cross-cutting angle between 125° and 135°.The length of the transverse cutting edge 24b is more than 1%, preferably more than 2%, of a diameter of the drill 10b. Preferably, the length of the transverse cutting edge 24b is less than 15%, preferably less than 10%, of a diameter of the drill 10b.

[0070] The secondary cutting edges 22b, 22'b are aligned essentially parallel to the chisel edge 31b, offset from the chisel edge 24b (see Fig. 12). The two secondary cutting edges 22b, 22'b are arranged on opposite sides of the chisel edge 24b. The secondary cutting edges 22b, 22'b each directly adjoin one of the main cutting edges 20b, 20'b, with the secondary cutting edges 22b, 22'b being angled relative to the main cutting edges 20b, 20'b.
