AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional drills generate burrs on the surface of workpieces during drilling, particularly under high-speed rotation and high feed conditions, and existing solutions fail to adequately address this issue across different types of workpieces.

Method used

The drill design incorporates a smooth transition between the cutting edge at the tip and the rear margin, featuring radial, circumferential, and helical cutting edges with controlled relief angles and a back taper, ensuring a continuous cutting edge with reduced angles towards the shank side, and a minimum axial length of 30% of the drill diameter.

Benefits of technology

The design effectively suppresses burr generation around machined holes regardless of drilling conditions, including high rotation speed and feed rate, improving burr reduction across various workpieces.

[0001] The present invention relates to a drill that can suppress burrs (swarf) generated on the surface of a workpiece after drilling.

Background Art

[0002] In drilling using a drill, burrs (swarf) occur around the hole after processing, so a deburring process is added after drilling to remove the burrs. Therefore, drills that can reduce burrs generated after drilling are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3.

[0003] However, these drills have a problem that burrs still remain after drilling depending on the type of workpiece. Therefore, Patent Document 4 discloses a plurality of types of drills classified for each workpiece and having different forms.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in the drill disclosed in Patent Document 4, a bending point occurs at the connection portion between the cutting edge at the tip of the drill and the margin on the rear side of the drill. Therefore, depending on drilling conditions such as high-speed rotation and high feed, burrs and swarf may occur on the surface of the workpiece.

[0006] <00000Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a drill that suppresses the generation of burrs around the machined hole, regardless of hole machining conditions such as high rotation speed or high feed rate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To solve the aforementioned problems, the step portion found in conventional drills is eliminated by providing a section that smoothly connects the cutting edge provided on the tip side of the drill with the margin provided on the rear end side (shank side). In other words, the drill of the present invention has at least a first cutting edge extending radially from the chisel edge, a curved second cutting edge extending radially and circumferentially from the end of the first cutting edge, a connecting section having a cutting edge that extends helically in the axial direction from the outer peripheral corner which is the end of the second cutting edge, and a guide section formed continuously with the connecting section and having a cutting edge with a relief angle of 1° or less, wherein the relief angle of the cutting edge of the connecting section is 12° or less, and the relief angle gradually decreases as it approaches the shank side.

[0008] Furthermore, the drill may be provided with a back taper (a taper that causes the outer diameter of the drill to decrease from the tip to the rear end of the drill), and the relief angle of the cutting edge of the guide section may be set to be less than or equal to the relief angle of the cutting edge of the connecting section. In addition, by applying a thinning surface to the drill, the central cutting edge adjacent to the thinning surface may be formed to be continuous with the first cutting edge, or the relief angle of the second cutting edge may be made larger than the relief angle of the first cutting edge.

[0009] Furthermore, the axial length of the connection point when projected along the longitudinal direction of the drill may be set to at least 30% of the drill's diameter. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The drill of the present invention has the effect of suppressing the generation of burrs around the machined hole, regardless of the type of workpiece or the hole machining conditions such as high rotation speed or high feed rate. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Furthermore, the connection part 4 ( 4 A, 4 B) has a back taper with a slope of angle θ10 toward the shank side of the drill 10 (not shown), as shown in Figure 3 (the straight line L10 shown in Figure 3 is an imaginary line parallel to the central axis O of the drill 10).

[0016] The connection part of the drill 10 of the present invention shown in Figure 1 4 ( 4 A, 4 Figure 4 shows the cross-sectional view along line XX in B), and Figure 5 shows the cross-sectional view along line YY, respectively. The connecting parts constituting the drill 10 of the present invention shown in Figures 4 and 5. 4 ( 4 A, 4 The relief angles θ1 and θ2 of the cutting edge in B) gradually decrease towards the shank side of the drill 10 (not shown), and the second cutting edge 3 ( 3 A, 3 The closer it is to B), the larger it becomes (θ1 > θ2). For example, the connection part of the drill 10 shown in Figure 4. 4 ( 4 A, 4 When the relief angle θ1 of the cutting edge in B) is 10°, the connection part of the drill 10 shown in Figure 5 4 ( 4 A, 4 In B), the relief angle θ2 of the cutting edge is less than 10°.
