Description

  The present invention relates to a throw-away tip mounted on a throw-away end mill used as a rotary tool.

  As a throw-away end mill used as a rotary tool, for example, a throw-away end mill in which a throw-away tip is attached to the end portion of an end mill main body as shown in FIG. 17 is known.

FIGS. 13 to 16 show a conventional throw-away tip 51, FIG. 13 is a perspective view thereof, FIG. 14 is a top view, FIG. 15 is a side view of the long side, and FIG. GG sectional drawing, FIG.16 (b) is HH sectional drawing of FIG. 14, FIG.16 (c) shows JJ sectional drawing of FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, the throw-away tip 51 is mounted on the end mill body 56 with the long side cutting edge 52 as a main cutting edge, that is, an outer peripheral cutting edge. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1.)
The long side surface portion includes a first side surface 53 that is continuous with the cutting edge ridge line and has a clearance angle, and a second side surface 54 that is disposed on the chip bottom surface 58 side of the first side surface.

Here, the main cutting edge 52 of the throw-away tip 51 is configured with a curved curve protruding outward from the tip when the tip is viewed from above, so that the throw-away tip 51 is attached to the end mill body 56 in the positive or negative axial direction. When the end mill body 56 is rotated around the axis 57 of the end mill body 56 when mounted with a rake angle, the rotation locus of the main cutting edge 52 becomes substantially cylindrical, and the rotation locus As a result, the perpendicularity of the machining wall surface of the work material can be finished with high accuracy by bringing the axial cross section as close as possible to the straight line.
JP 2000-84708 A

  However, in the case of the throw-away tip as described above, as shown in FIG. 16, there is a retracted inclined surface 55 between the first side surface 53 and the second side surface 54 at any position of the main cutting edge 52, In other words, since the first side surface 53 has a shape protruding from the second side surface 54, the cutting blade strength is not sufficient, and the cutting blade is used when processing is used for relatively severe cutting conditions such as high feed processing. There was a problem that many deficiencies occurred.

  Further, since the second side surface 54 serving as a restraining surface when attaching the tip to the end mill main body 56 is formed of a curved surface, there is a problem that the tip attachment is likely to be unstable.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems of the prior art, and in an end mill throw-away tip capable of accurately finishing the perpendicularity of the machining wall surface of the work material, the cutting edge strength is improved. The purpose is to ensure the processing stability by improving the accuracy of chip mounting.

  In order to solve the above problem, the throw-away tip according to claim 1 is provided with a main cutting edge at a part of a cross ridge formed by a side surface and an upper surface of the chip main body, and the main cutting edge is a top view of the chip main body. The side surface including the main cutting edge includes a convex curved surface that is at least partially connected from the top surface to the bottom surface, and a flat surface that is recessed from the convex curved surface. It is characterized by being.

  The throw-away tip according to claim 6 is configured such that both ends of the main cutting edge are constituted by cutting edge ridge lines parallel to the bottom surface, and a parallel cutting edge closer to the bottom surface among cutting edge ridge lines parallel to the bottom surface. One of the depressed flat surfaces is formed on the side surface at a position corresponding to the edge line of the blade.

  The throw-away tip according to claim 7 is provided at a corner portion at a cross ridge line portion with the bottom surface of the depressed flat surface formed on the side surface at a position corresponding to the parallel cutting edge ridge line on the side close to the bottom surface. It is characterized in that a flat cut portion is provided which gradually becomes wider as it gets closer.

  The throw-away tip according to claim 8 is characterized in that a clearance angle of the first side surface is smaller than a clearance angle of the second side surface.

  According to the throw-away tip of claim 1, the perpendicularity of the processing wall surface of the work material at the time of shoulder processing or grooving can be finished with high accuracy, and the main cutting edge is on the outer side of the tip in the top view of the tip. Since the protruding main cutting edge is reinforced by the convex curved side surface, chipping of the main cutting edge can be suppressed and the life of the chip can be extended. In addition, since the thickness of the chip near the screw hole can be increased, the effect of dispersing the uneven clogging of the raw material at the time of molding of the chip can be obtained, so that the deformation of the chip can be suppressed and flat. The depressed flat surface serving as a constraining surface enables stable constraining to the chip seating surface of the end mill main body, and the perpendicularity of the workpiece can be processed with higher accuracy.

  According to the throw-away tip of claim 6, it is possible to suppress a decrease in strength due to a reduction in the thickness of the tip. Further, in normal processing, among the main cutting edge, from the corner R cutting edge portion to the inclined cutting edge portion through the cutting edge ridge line parallel to the bottom surface adjacent to the corner R cutting edge portion, is often used. There is no problem in the cutting edge strength even if one of the recessed flat surfaces is provided on the side surface at a position corresponding to the parallel cutting edge ridge line on the side closer to the bottom surface.

  According to the throw-away tip of claim 7, interference between the bottom-side corner portion of the tip and the work material in a state where the tip is attached to the end mill body with a positive axial rake angle is prevented. I can do it.

  In addition, according to the throw-away tip of the eighth aspect, the cutting edge strength of the main cutting edge can be increased, and as a result, the life of the tip can be extended.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  6 to 10 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the throw-away tip 20 according to this embodiment, FIG. 7 is a plan view, FIG. 8 is a side view of the long side, and FIG. 7A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 7, FIG. 9B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. 7, FIG. 9C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. 4 is a side view of the end mill in a state where the away tip 20 is mounted on the end mill body 37. FIG.

  In FIG. 6, the throw-away tip 20 according to the present embodiment has corners R at two corners opposite to each other diagonally among the corners of the crossed ridge formed by the side surface and the upper surface of the tip body having a substantially parallelogram shape. A cutting edge portion 2 is formed, and a long-side cutting edge 22 that is a main cutting edge and a short-side cutting edge 23 that is a Sarah edge are provided on both sides of the corner R cutting edge portion 2. Further, a screw hole 25 for fixing a chip screw that penetrates to the bottom surface 24 is formed in the center portion of the upper surface of the chip.

  The main cutting edge 22 is configured with a convex curve on the outer side of the chip as viewed from the top of the chip, whereby the perpendicularity of the processing wall surface of the work material can be accurately finished.

  Further, the main cutting edge 22 is inclined so as to gradually approach the bottom surface 24 as it is separated from the corner R cutting edge portion 21, thereby increasing the axial rake angle when the tip 20 is attached to the end mill body 37. Even if not, since the chip 20 itself has a rake angle in the axial direction, the sharpness can be improved and the cutting resistance can be reduced. Further, the fact that the rake angle in the axial direction when the tip 20 is attached to the end mill main body 37 described above can be minimized, the thickness of the holder below the tip seating surface can be secured, so that the rigidity of the holder can be maintained.

  Further, the side surface 26 of the main cutting edge 22 is formed as a convex curved surface.

  Further, flat surfaces 29 and 30 that are recessed from the surface of the side surface 26 are formed continuously to the corner portions 27 and 28 at both ends of the side surface 26. Here, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9C, the flat surfaces 29 and 30 are formed from the side surface 26 through the lead-in inclined surface 31, respectively. On the other hand, the central portion of the main cutting edge 22 has no pull-in inclined surface as shown in FIG. 9B, and the side face 26 is continuously connected to the bottom face 24. The cutting edge defect is suppressed without impairing the cutting edge strength.

  Further, the flat surfaces 29 and 30 serve as constraining surfaces when the holder is attached. However, the chip can be restrained more stably than the constraining on the curved surface, and the processing of the constraining surface on the holder side is more than that of the curved surface processing. There is also an advantage that the flat surface processing can be easily performed.

  Further, the flat surfaces 29 and 30 that are depressed at both ends of the side surface 26 are formed, and the central portion between them is a convex curved surface of the side surface 26, so that the thickness of the chip near the screw hole 25 can be increased. The effect of dispersing the unevenness of the clogging of the raw material at the time of molding of the chip is obtained, whereby the deformation of the chip at the time of firing can be suppressed, and the depressed flat surfaces 29 and 30 that become flat constraining surfaces In addition, it is possible to reliably and stably restrain the tip seating surface of the end mill body, and as a result, the perpendicularity of the workpiece can be processed with higher accuracy.

  As shown in FIG. 8, both ends of the main cutting edge 22 are constituted by cutting edge ridge lines 32 and 34 parallel to the bottom surface 24. The cutting edge ridge line 32 parallel to the bottom surface 24 on the corner R cutting blade 21 side is for maintaining the strength of the corner R cutting blade portion 21 that is always used for processing, and further polishing the chip bottom surface 24. This is also to prevent wobbling of the chip when doing. The cutting edge ridge line 34 parallel to the bottom surface 24 close to the other bottom surface 24 side suppresses a decrease in strength due to a decrease in the thickness of the chip 20. In normal processing, the corner cutting edge 21 of the main cutting edge 22 passes through a cutting edge ridge line 32 parallel to the bottom surface 24 adjacent to the corner cutting edge 21 to the inclined cutting edge portion 33. Therefore, even if one of the recessed flat surfaces 30 is provided on the side surface 26 at a position corresponding to the parallel cutting edge ridge line 34 on the side closer to the bottom surface 24 from there, there is a problem with the cutting edge strength. Absent. Further, when machining is performed with such a depth of cut, the machining load becomes large, so it is general to use with lower cutting conditions.

  Further, the crossed ridge line portion of the depressed flat surface 30 formed on the side surface 26 at the position corresponding to the parallel cutting edge ridge line 34 on the side close to the bottom surface 24 gradually increases as the corner portion 28 is approached. A flat cut portion 35 is provided so as to be wide. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent interference between the bottom side corner portion 36 of the tip 20 and the work material in a state where the tip 20 is attached to the end mill body 37 with a positive axial rake angle.

  1 to 5 show another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a throw-away tip 1 according to this embodiment, FIG. 2 is a plan view, and FIG. 3 is a side view of a long side. 4A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 2, FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. 2, FIG. 4C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. FIG. 2 is a side view of the end mill in a state where the throw-away tip 1 of the embodiment is mounted on the end mill body 19.

  In FIG. 1, the throw-away tip 1 according to this embodiment has corners R at two corners opposite to each other diagonally among the corners of the crossed ridge formed by the side surface and the top surface of the tip body having a substantially parallelogram shape. A cutting edge portion 2 is formed, and a long-side cutting edge 3 as a main cutting edge and a short-side cutting edge 4 as a Sarah blade are provided on both sides of the corner R cutting edge portion 2. Further, a screw hole 6 for fastening a chip screw penetrating to the bottom surface 5 is formed in the center portion of the chip upper surface.

  The main cutting edge 3 is composed of a curved curve protruding outward from the chip when viewed from the top of the chip, whereby the perpendicularity of the machining wall surface of the work material can be finished with high accuracy.

  Further, the main cutting edge 3 is inclined so as to gradually approach the bottom surface 5 as the distance from the corner R cutting edge portion 2 increases, so that the axial rake angle when the tip 1 is attached to the end mill body 19 is increased. Even if not, since the chip 1 itself has a rake angle in the axial direction, the sharpness can be improved and the cutting resistance can be reduced. Further, the fact that the axial rake angle when attaching the tip 1 to the end mill body 19 described above can be minimized, the thickness of the holder below the tip seating surface can be secured, so that the rigidity of the holder can be maintained.

  Further, the side surface of the main cutting edge 3 is continuous with the main cutting edge 3 and has a clearance angle, and the first side face 7 is continuous with the first side face 7 from the first side face 7 to the bottom face 5 side. The second side surface 8 is disposed and has a clearance angle larger than the clearance angle of the first side surface 7. In addition, the first side surface 7 and the second side surface 8 are formed by convex curved surfaces. ing.

  Further, flat surfaces 11 and 12 that are recessed from the surface of the second side surface 8 are formed continuously to the corner portions 9 and 10 at both ends of the second side surface 8. Here, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (c), the flat surfaces 11 and 12 are formed on the flat surfaces 11 and 12 through the pull-in inclined surface 13 from the first side surface 7, respectively. Yes. On the other hand, since the central portion of the main cutting edge 3 is directly connected to the second side face 8 without passing through the inclined surface as shown in FIG. The cutting edge loss is suppressed without impairing the strength of the cutting edge 3.

  Further, the flat surfaces 11 and 12 serve as constraining surfaces when the holder is mounted. However, stable chip constraining is possible compared to constraining on a curved surface, and the processing of the constraining surface on the holder side is more than that of curved surface processing. There is also an advantage that the flat surface processing can be easily performed.

  Further, flat surfaces 11 and 12 which are depressed at both ends of the second side surface 8 are formed, and the central portion between them is a convex curved surface of the second side surface 8 so that the thickness of the chip near the screw hole 6 is increased. Because it can be taken large, the effect of dispersing the unevenness of the clogging of the raw material at the time of molding of the chip can be obtained, whereby the deformation of the chip at the time of firing can be suppressed, and the depressed flat surface which becomes a flat constrained surface 11 and 12 enable reliable and stable restraint to the chip seating surface of the end mill body, and as a result, the perpendicularity of the workpiece can be machined with higher accuracy.

  As shown in FIG. 3, both ends of the main cutting edge 3 are constituted by cutting edge ridge lines 14 and 16 parallel to the bottom surface 5. The cutting edge ridge line 14 parallel to the bottom surface 5 on the corner R cutting blade 2 side is for maintaining the strength of the corner R cutting blade portion 2 that is always used for processing, and further polishing the chip bottom surface 5. This is also to prevent wobbling of the chip when doing. The cutting edge ridge line 16 parallel to the bottom surface 5 close to the other bottom surface 5 side suppresses a decrease in strength due to a decrease in the thickness of the chip 1. In normal machining, the corner cutting edge 2 of the main cutting edge 3 passes through a cutting edge ridge line 14 parallel to the bottom surface 5 adjacent to the corner cutting edge 2 to the inclined cutting edge 15. Therefore, even if one of the recessed flat surfaces 12 is provided on the second side surface at a position corresponding to the parallel cutting edge ridge line 16 on the side closer to the bottom surface 5 from there, the cutting edge strength is obtained. no problem. Further, when machining is performed with such a depth of cut, the machining load becomes large, so it is general to use with lower cutting conditions.

  Further, the crossed ridge line portion of the depressed flat surface 12 formed on the second side surface at a position corresponding to the parallel cutting edge ridge line 16 on the side closer to the bottom surface 5 is closer to the corner portion 10. A flat cut portion 17 is provided so as to gradually increase. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent interference between the bottom corner portion 18 of the tip 1 and the work material when the tip 1 is attached to the end mill body 19 with a positive axial rake angle.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, flat restraining surfaces 38 and 39 are provided on the tip mounting portions to which the tips 1 and 20 are attached in the end mill main bodies 19 and 37, and the flat restraining surfaces 38 and 39 are provided. An escape portion 40 is provided between 39. Here, the flat constraining surfaces 38 and 39 and the depressed flat surfaces 11, 12 and 29, 30 on the side of the chips 1 and 20 are overlapped and constrained, so that more stable constraining is possible. Further, the second side surface 8 existing between the recessed flat surfaces 11 and 12 on the chip 1 side and the side surface 26 existing between the recessed flat surfaces 29 and 30 on the chip 20 side are formed by the end mill. Since it is attached so as to fit in the escape portion 22 on the main body 19, 37 side, problems such as interference do not occur when the chip is mounted.

  FIG. 12 shows a cross-sectional view at the center of the main cutting edge when the clearance angle of the second side surface is smaller than the clearance angle of the first side surface as another embodiment of the present invention. In this case, when the tip is mounted with a large axial rake angle attached to the end mill body, the clearance angle of the flank can be secured, so that flank wear is suppressed. However, from the viewpoint of maintaining the cutting edge strength of the chip, it is desirable that the clearance angle of the flank adjacent to the cutting edge ridge line is small.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was illustrated, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It cannot be overemphasized that it can be made arbitrary, unless it deviates from the objective of invention.
