[0032] The above terms can be understood in the specific meaning in the present application according to the specific circumstances for those skilled in the art.

[0033] Please refer to FIG. 1, a milling cutter of an embodiment of the present application, comprising: a cutter body 1, a long blade 2 and a short blade 3.

[0034] The cutter body 1 has an end face 11, a peripheral surface 12 and a transition surface 13, the end face 11 and the peripheral surface 12 are connected by the transition surface 13, the transition surface 13 is a concave arc surface to the inside of the cutter body 1, the end face 11 is provided with a clearance 14 concave to the inside of the cutter body 1, and the transition surface 13 is provided with a drainage groove 15, which communicates with the clearance 14.

[0035] The long blade 2 is arranged on the transition surface 13, one end of the long blade 2 extends to the peripheral surface 12, and the other end of the long blade 2 extends to the end face 11, the long blade 2 is arranged in multiple and uniformly spaced from each other, and the adjacent two long blades 2 form a chip flute 4. In some embodiments, the other end of the long blade 2 can be flush with the end face 11, or can protrude from the end face 11, that is, the end face of the other end of the long blade 2 protrudes from the end face 11 of the cutter body 1 or is flush with the end face 11 of the cutter body 1.

[0036] The short blade 3 is arranged on the transition surface 13, one end of the short blade 3 extends to the peripheral surface 12, and the other end of the short blade 3 extends towards the end face 11, the short blade 3 is arranged in multiple and located in the chip flute 4, and the short blade 3 is arranged alternately with the long blade 2.

[0037] The long blade 2 and the short blade 3 are both used for machining workpieces, the arrangement of the short blade 3 can make the part of the transition surface 13 close to the end face 11 have only the long blade 2, and the part of the transition surface 13 close to the peripheral surface 12 have both the long blade 2 and the short blade 3, through such structure, it can prevent the part of the transition surface 13 close to the end face 11 from being too dense, and the chips are easy to be discharged from the chip flute 4, and it can also prevent the knife marks from being generated on the workpiece.

[0038] When the milling cutter machines the workpiece, cooling water will be used to help cooling, the cutter body 1 is provided with the clearance 14 and the drainage groove 15, the clearance 14 and the drainage groove 15 can guide the cooling water reflected from the workpiece to the cutter body 1, part of the cooling water flows away from the drainage groove 15, and part of the cooling water flushes the chip flute 4, and the clearance 14 can guide the cooling water into the drainage groove 15. Thus, it helps to discharge the chips generated during machining, and such structure can also facilitate the cooling water to cool down the milling cutter, reduce the wear and tear of the cutter and the problem of blade collapse.

[0039] In some embodiments, the end face 11 is provided with a notch portion 16, and the clearance portion 14 and the drainage groove 15 are connected through the notch portion 16. The notch portion 16 is also provided as a position recessed to the inside of the cutter body 1, and at least a part of the notch portion 16 is located at the edge of the end face 11, so as to form a position facilitating the cooling water in the clearance portion 14 to enter the drainage groove 15 through the notch portion 16.

[0040] In some embodiments, the notch portion 16 is in the form of a groove, and the groove bottom of the notch portion 16 is smoothly transitioned to the groove bottom of the drainage groove 15. Through such a structure, the resistance of the cooling water passing through the notch portion 16 can be reduced, and the cooling water can be better guided to enter the drainage groove 15. In some embodiments, the groove bottom of the notch portion 16 can be provided as an arc surface, so as to facilitate the smooth transition of the notch portion 16 to the groove bottom of the drainage groove 15.

[0041] In some embodiments, the number of the drainage grooves 15 is 2-4, and the plurality of drainage grooves 15 are uniformly spaced on the transition surface 13. The groove depth of the drainage groove 15 is 0.8-1.5 mm. The plurality of drainage grooves 15 can facilitate the discharge of cooling water, and can also make the cooling of the milling cutter more balanced. When the groove depth of the drainage groove 15 is set within this range, the drainage groove 15 can not only play a role in discharging cooling water, but also meet the cooling requirements of the milling cutter, and at the same time meet the requirements of milling and cutter strength.

[0042] In some embodiments, the distance between the adjacent short blades 3 and long blades 2 is consistent, the distance between the adjacent two long blades 2 is recorded as a first distance L, the distance between the adjacent long blade 2 and short blade 3 is recorded as a second distance D, and the groove width of the drainage groove 15 is the sum of the first distance L and the second distance D.

[0043] It should be pointed out here that since the drainage groove 15 also exists in the form of a groove width that is not uniform, the sum of the first distance L and the second distance D corresponding to the groove width of the drainage groove 15, and the groove width position of the drainage groove 15 is the same as the position of the first distance L and the second distance D, that is, the measurement endpoints of the groove width, the first distance L and the second distance D are located on the circumference of the same circle, and the center is on the axis of the cutter body.

[0044] For example, the groove width of the drainage groove 15 at the opening on the peripheral surface 12 is the sum of the first distance L and the second distance D of the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 extending to the position of the peripheral surface 12, and the groove width of the drainage groove 15 near the end face is the first distance L, and the corresponding position only has the long blade 2 without the short blade 3, and the second distance D is continued to the end face 11 along the existing shape of the short blade 3, until it extends to the position corresponding to the groove width of the aforementioned drainage groove 15, so as to determine the second distance D by the extension line.

[0045] In some embodiments, the width of the groove of the drainage groove 15 gradually increases from the end of the drainage groove 15 close to the clearance 14 to the end of the drainage groove 15 away from the clearance 14.

[0046] With such a structure, when the cooling water is drained from the drainage groove 15, the width of the drainage groove 15 gradually increases, which facilitates the flow of the cooling water in the drainage groove 15 and improves the drainage speed.

[0047] In some embodiments, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 are both arc-shaped, and the shapes of the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 match each other, and the groove wall of the drainage groove 15 is an arc surface matching the shape of the long blade 2. Shape matching means that the shape features are similar, as in the form of FIG. 1. Of course, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 can also be set to have different arc angles, or the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 can be cross-shaped (for example, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 intersect, that is, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 have an intersection point).

[0048] In other embodiments, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 can also be radial straight lines, or wave-shaped.

[0049] It can be understood that shape matching means that the shape features are similar. In some embodiments, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 are both arc-shaped. In some embodiments, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 have the same curvature. In some embodiments, when the short blade is shorter, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 have the same length and the same arc shape and curvature. In other embodiments, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 can both be radial straight lines. In other embodiments, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 can both be wave-shaped. In other embodiments, the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 have similar bending degrees of the waves in the wave shape.

[0050] In some embodiments, the length of the short blade 3 is 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the length of the long blade 2. Within this range, the part of the transition surface 13 close to the end surface 11 has only the long blade 2, and the part of the transition surface 13 close to the peripheral surface 12 has both the long blade 2 and the short blade 3. The long blade 2 and the short blade 3 have a milling effect, and the short blade 3 close to the end surface 11 is reduced, so that the total number of blade edges close to the end surface 11 is reduced, avoiding too dense blade edges, making it difficult for chips to be discharged, and avoiding too many blades producing tool marks on the workpiece.

[0051] In some embodiments, the tool body 1, the long blade 2, and the short blade 3 are integrally formed. The tool body 1, the long blade 2, and the short blade 3 are one structure, and the long blade 2 and the short blade 3 can be machined on the tool body 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, the milling tool further includes a tool shank connected to the tool body 1. The tool shank is used to connect the tool body 1, and the tool shank can also provide a connection position with other structures or other devices.

[0053] The embodiment also provides a machining device, which comprises a power device, a clamping device and the milling cutter.

[0054] The clamping device can clamp the milling cutter by clamping the shank, and the power device drives the milling cutter to rotate, so as to machine the workpiece by the milling cutter.

[0055] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and replacements without departing from the technical principles of the present application, and these improvements and replacements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
