Gun Drill Body Structure With Bent Discharge Groove for Accuracy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Gun drills experience bending during machining due to uneven force distribution, leading to reduced machining accuracy as the central body attempts to displace in a direction that aligns with the formation of the coolant discharge groove, causing potential contact with the machined hole.
Innovation Solution
A gun drill body design featuring a partially bent coolant discharge groove that diverges from the bending direction of the cross-sectional secondary moment, with the groove oriented opposite to the rotating direction towards the base end side, and a guide pad positioned differently along the circumferential direction to counteract bending forces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a linear discharging groove is formed on the body, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the body bends during machining due to bending moment causing reduced machining accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The discharging groove is designed with a bent configuration instead of a straight linear path. The groove bends in the circumferential direction at a specific position along the body, creating a curved layout that counteracts the bending moment applied to the body during machining, thereby suppressing body deformation and maintaining machining accuracy.
2Manufacturing precision
If the discharging groove is bent to suppress body bending, then machining accuracy is improved, but the groove structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The discharging groove is segmented into multiple sections: a first groove section extending from the leading end, a second groove section that bends in the circumferential direction, and a third groove section continuing to the base end. This segmentation allows the groove to follow a bent path that counteracts bending moment while maintaining manufacturability through standardized forming processes.
3Device complexity
If guide pad is positioned at the same circumferential position as cutting edge, then the structure is simple, but bending moment causes body displacement and contact with machined hole
Solution Approach 1:
The guide pad is positioned at a different circumferential position than the cutting edge, creating an asymmetric configuration. This asymmetric placement, combined with the bent discharging groove, generates counteracting moments that balance the bending forces during machining, preventing body displacement and maintaining machining accuracy without requiring complex additional components.

AI summary
Provided is a body capable of suppressing the bending of the body during machining. A body includes: a first mounting part serving as a portion that is provided on a leading end side and has a cutting edge mounted thereon; and a second attachment part serving as a portion that is provided at a position different from a position of the first mounting part along a circumferential direction and has a guide pad attached thereto on the leading end side. One discharging groove that extends from the leading end side to a base end side and is used to guide and discharge a fluid to the base end side is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the body, and at least a part of the discharging groove is bent.
