Description

本発明はクリスマスツリー状の断面形状をしたタービン翼接続のための接続溝を切削加工する方法に使用されるカッタ、及びカッタを使用してタービン翼接続溝を切削加工する方法、並びに製造する方法に関するものである。 The present invention is a cutter used in a method of cutting a connecting groove for connecting a turbine blade having a Christmas tree-shaped cross section, a method of cutting a turbine blade connecting groove using the cutter, and a method of manufacturing. It is about.

タービン翼をタービンの回転軸(ローター)に接続するための接続溝はタービンの本体である被削材の深さ方向に複数の凹部と複数の凸部が交互に繰り返して形成される。各凹部と各凸部の、深さ方向を向く中心軸から、中心軸に垂直な方向に最も遠い位置までの距離は深さ方向の奥側から表面側へかけて次第に大きくなり、接続溝は全体としてクリスマスツリー状の断面形状をする(特許文献1、2参照)。 The connecting groove for connecting the turbine blade to the rotating shaft (rotor) of the turbine is formed by alternately repeating a plurality of concave portions and a plurality of convex portions in the depth direction of the work material which is the main body of the turbine. The distance from the central axis of each concave portion and each convex portion facing the depth direction to the farthest position in the direction perpendicular to the central axis gradually increases from the back side to the surface side in the depth direction, and the connecting groove becomes It has a Christmas tree-like cross-sectional shape as a whole (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

この接続溝の断面形状に対応し、接続溝を切削するクリスマスカッタの刃部は凹部を切削する凸状部と凸部を切削する凹状部が軸方向の回転軸の方向に交互に配列した形状をする。但し、凹状部は回転軸に直交する断面積が小さいことで、凸部の切削時に被削材から受ける抵抗に対して弱点になり易いため、折損の可能性が相対的に高い。 Corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of this connection groove, the blade of the Christmas cutter that cuts the connection groove has a shape in which the convex part that cuts the concave part and the concave part that cuts the convex part are arranged alternately in the direction of the rotation axis in the axial direction. do. However, since the concave portion has a small cross-sectional area orthogonal to the rotation axis, it tends to be a weak point against the resistance received from the work material when cutting the convex portion, so that the possibility of breakage is relatively high.

この凹状部における折損の可能性を低下させる意味から、接続溝の切削には、接続溝全体の容積の内、70〜80%程度の領域を切削する大荒加工と、仕上げ加工の直前までの領域を切削する荒加工と、最終の仕上げ加工の3通りの工程を要している。この内、大荒加工の工程では被削材に対する切削量が他の2工程より多いこともあり、凹状部での折損が発生し易い。 In order to reduce the possibility of breakage in the concave portion, the cutting of the connecting groove includes a large roughing process in which a region of about 70 to 80% of the total volume of the connecting groove is cut and a region immediately before the finishing process. It requires three steps: roughing to cut and final finishing. Of these, in the large roughing process, the amount of cutting on the work material may be larger than in the other two processes, and breakage is likely to occur in the concave portion.

そこで、大荒加工用クリスマスカッタの刃部での折損の可能性を低下させるために、大荒加工(粗取り工程)用の刃部に凹状部を形成しない形態のクリスマスカッタが使用されることがある(特許文献3参照)。 Therefore, in order to reduce the possibility of breakage at the blade portion of the Christmas cutter for rough machining, a Christmas cutter having a form in which a concave portion is not formed on the blade portion for rough machining (roughing process) may be used. (See Patent Document 3).

このクリスマスカッタの刃部は表面が接続溝の全凸部の最も径の小さい点付近の中心軸寄りの位置を通るようにした結果、シャンク部側が円柱状に形成され、先端部側へかけて次第に径が小さくなる円錐台形状に形成されている(段落0012〜0015)。このように円柱と円錐台が軸方向に連結された形状の場合、刃部の軸方向の一部に相対的に径の小さい凹状部がないため、接続溝切削時の折損の可能性は低下する。 As a result of making the surface of the blade of this Christmas cutter pass through the position near the central axis near the smallest diameter point of the all-convex part of the connection groove, the shank side is formed in a columnar shape, and it extends toward the tip side. It is formed in a truncated cone shape in which the diameter gradually decreases (paragraphs 0012 to 0015). In the case of a shape in which the cylinder and the truncated cone are connected in the axial direction in this way, the possibility of breakage during cutting of the connection groove is reduced because there is no concave portion having a relatively small diameter in a part of the blade portion in the axial direction. To do.

特表2004−507369号公報(図1)Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-507369 (Fig. 1) 特許第4704495号公報(段落0033〜0056、図6〜図12、図14)Japanese Patent No. 4704495 (paragraphs 0033 to 0056, FIGS. 6 to 12, 14) 国際公開2010/13319号(段落0012〜0016、図5)International Publication No. 2010/13319 (paragraphs 0012 to 0016, Fig. 5)

しかしながら、特許文献3のように大荒加工(粗取り工程)用の刃部の外形線がクリスマスカッタの回転軸に平行な直線と、この直線に連続し、回転軸に平行でない直線のみから構成される場合、接続溝の凸部(幅狭部11〜13)の軸方向の区間を凸部の表面形状に沿って切削することはできない。すなわち、凸部の区間では表面(内周面)の最も径の小さい部分を通る円柱状に切削することができるに過ぎないため、接続溝の最も径の小さい円弧状部分以外の上下部分を切削することはできない。 However, as in Patent Document 3, the outline of the blade for rough machining (roughing process) is composed of only a straight line parallel to the rotation axis of the Christmas cutter and a straight line continuous with this straight line and not parallel to the rotation axis. In this case, it is not possible to cut the axial section of the convex portion (narrow portion 11 to 13) of the connecting groove along the surface shape of the convex portion. That is, since the convex section can only be cut into a columnar shape passing through the smallest diameter portion of the surface (inner peripheral surface), the upper and lower portions other than the arcuate portion having the smallest diameter of the connecting groove are cut. Can't be done.

結果的に、大荒加工の次の工程である荒加工(中仕上げ工程)用のクリスマスカッタの凸部に対応した区間を上記した凹状部のような形状の縮径部41〜43を形成しなければならなくなる(段落0018、図7)。従って縮径部41〜43による凸部の上下部分の切削量が多く、荒加工用のクリスマスカッタの切削時の抵抗が大きくなるため、縮径部での折損の可能性が増す可能性がある。 As a result, the reduced diameter portion 41 to 43 having a shape like the concave portion described above must be formed in the section corresponding to the convex portion of the Christmas cutter for rough machining (intermediate finishing step), which is the next step of large rough machining. It becomes necessary (paragraph 0018, FIG. 7). Therefore, the amount of cutting of the upper and lower portions of the convex portion by the reduced diameter portions 41 to 43 is large, and the resistance during cutting of the Christmas cutter for roughing increases, so that the possibility of breakage in the reduced diameter portion may increase. ..

本発明は上記背景より、荒加工用のクリスマスカッタに凹状部を形成することによる折損の可能性を低下させる形態の大荒加工用のカッタとこれを使用した接続溝の切削加工方法を提案するものである。 Based on the above background, the present invention proposes a cutter for large roughing in a form that reduces the possibility of breakage due to forming a concave portion in the Christmas cutter for roughing, and a method for cutting a connection groove using the cutter. Is.

A Christmas tree-like cross-sectional shape in which the distance from the central axis facing the depth direction to the position farthest in the direction perpendicular to the central axis gradually increases from the back side to the surface side in the depth direction. The above-mentioned method of cutting the connection groove for connecting the turbine blades through a large roughing step of roughing, a roughing step of subsequent roughing, and a finishing step of subsequent finishing. A blade portion having a cutting edge over the entire length in the axial direction, which is used in the rough machining process and cuts the plurality of concave portions and the plurality of convex portions of the connection groove, is provided on the axial tip side of the shank portion. A cutter for large roughing that has a chip discharge groove formed along the axial direction of the part and rotates around the axis of rotation in the axial direction.
In the section on the shank portion side excluding the axial tip portion of the blade portion, the concave portion other than the concave portion on the innermost side in the depth direction and the convex portion other than the convex portion on the innermost side are cut. A convex part is formed,
This convex portion is divided into an intermediate convex portion closer to the tip portion in the axial direction and a former convex portion closer to the shank portion and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the intermediate convex portion.
The outline of at least a part of the section corresponding to the concave portion of at least one of the intermediate convex portion and the original convex portion is parallel to the rotation axis.

It is characterized in that a transition portion having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the portion located on the tip side in the direction is formed.

請求項1における「凹部を切削する」は正確には「凹部を形成するための被削材を切削する」の意味であり、同様に「凸部を切削する」は「凸部を形成するための被削材を切削する」の意味である。また「接続溝を切削加工する」は「接続溝を形成するための被削材を切削し、加工する」の意味である。請求項5以降も同様である。 To be precise, "cutting a concave portion" in claim 1 means "cutting a work material for forming a concave portion", and similarly, "cutting a convex portion" means "to form a convex portion". It means "cutting the work material". Further, "cutting the connecting groove" means "cutting and processing the work material for forming the connecting groove". The same applies to claims 5 and thereafter.

刃部3は図1に示すように大荒加工用カッタ1の内、工作機械に把持されるシャンク部2を除き、シャンク部2の軸方向先端部側の区間を指し、「刃部の軸方向先端部を除くシャンク部側の区間」は(シャンク部2を除く)刃部3の全長の内、先端部を除くシャンク部2寄りの区間を指す。ここで言う「先端部」は請求項5における「凹状部32」と「先端凸状部31」を指す。図1中、二点鎖線は仕上げ加工後の被削材5に深さ方向に形成される接続溝4の表面を示す。「シャンク部2の軸方向先端部側(軸方向先端側)」は大荒加工用カッタ1の全長の内、シャンク部2とは反対側の刃部3の端部を指す。 As shown in FIG. 1, the blade portion 3 refers to a section of the rough machining cutter 1 on the tip side in the axial direction of the shank portion 2 except for the shank portion 2 gripped by the machine tool. The "section on the shank portion side excluding the tip portion" refers to the section of the total length of the blade portion 3 (excluding the shank portion 2) closer to the shank portion 2 excluding the tip portion. The "tip portion" referred to here refers to the "concave portion 32" and the "tip convex portion 31" in claim 5. In FIG. 1, the alternate long and short dash line indicates the surface of the connecting groove 4 formed in the work material 5 after finishing in the depth direction. The "axial tip side of the shank portion 2 (axial tip side)" refers to the end portion of the blade portion 3 on the opposite side of the total length of the rough machining cutter 1 to the shank portion 2.

この先端部を除く区間は図3、図5に示すように接続溝4の深さ方向の最も奥側の凹部410以外の凹部41と最も奥側の凸部420以外の凸部42を切削する凸状部30である。従って請求項1では軸方向先端部である、接続溝4の最も奥側の凹部410と最も奥側の凸部420を切削する部分(区間)の形態は問われない。また刃部3の先端部による最も奥側の凹部410と最も奥側の凸部420(を形成するための被削材5)の切削領域も問われない。凸状部30は図5に示すように中間凸状部33から元側移行部36までの区間を指す。 In the section excluding the tip portion, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the concave portion 41 other than the innermost concave portion 410 in the depth direction of the connection groove 4 and the convex portion 42 other than the innermost convex portion 420 are cut. The convex portion 30. Therefore, in claim 1, the form of the portion (section) for cutting the innermost concave portion 410 and the innermost convex portion 420 of the connecting groove 4, which is the tip portion in the axial direction, does not matter. Further, the cutting region of the innermost concave portion 410 and the innermost convex portion 420 (work material 5 for forming) by the tip end portion of the blade portion 3 is not limited. As shown in FIG. 5, the convex portion 30 refers to a section from the intermediate convex portion 33 to the original transition portion 36.

図示するように大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3の軸方向先端部が接続溝4の最も奥側の凹部410と最も奥側の凸部420を切削する場合には、図1、図5に示すように凸状部30の軸方向先端側に連続し、最も奥側の凸部420を切削する凹状部32が形成される(請求項5)。また凹状部32の軸方向先端側に連続し、最も奥側の凹部410を切削する先端凸状部31が形成される(請求項5)。この場合、先端凸状部31が接続溝4の最も奥側の凹部410を形成するための被削材5を切削し、凹状部32が最も奥側の凸部420を形成するための被削材5を切削する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, when the axial tip of the blade portion 3 of the rough cutting cutter 1 cuts the innermost concave portion 410 and the innermost convex portion 420 of the connecting groove 4, FIG. As shown, a concave portion 32 is formed which is continuous with the tip side in the axial direction of the convex portion 30 and cuts the convex portion 420 on the innermost side (claim 5). Further, a tip convex portion 31 is formed which is continuous with the tip side of the concave portion 32 in the axial direction and cuts the innermost concave portion 410 (claim 5). In this case, the tip convex portion 31 cuts the work material 5 for forming the innermost concave portion 410 of the connection groove 4, and the concave portion 32 cuts the work material 5 for forming the innermost concave portion 420. The material 5 is cut.

請求項5では刃部3の先端部に形成された凹状部32が接続溝4の最も奥側の凸部420(形成のための被削材5)を切削することで、大荒加工用カッタ1に続く荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61が最も奥側の凸部420を切削する必要から解放される。また後述のように最も奥側の凸部420以外の凸部42も大荒加工用カッタ1の移行部(中間移行部35と元側移行部36の少なくともいずれか一方)が切削するため、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61の、凸部42に対応した少なくとも一部の凹状部(63、65、67)の表面の少なくとも一部に切れ刃を形成する必要がなくなる(請求項8)。この場合、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)の少なくとも一部に切れ刃が形成されないことで、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の回転軸60(軸方向)に垂直な断面積の最も小さい部分である凹状部(63、65、67)が凸部42を切削することによる折損の可能性が低下する。 In claim 5, the concave portion 32 formed at the tip of the blade portion 3 cuts the convex portion 420 (work material 5 for forming) on the innermost side of the connection groove 4, so that the cutter 1 for rough machining 1 The blade portion 61 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 following is released from the need to cut the innermost convex portion 420. Further, as will be described later, the convex portion 42 other than the convex portion 420 on the innermost side is also roughened because the transition portion (at least one of the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original side transition portion 36) of the cutter 1 for rough machining is cut. It is not necessary to form a cutting edge on at least a part of the surface of the concave portion (63, 65, 67) corresponding to the convex portion 42 of the blade portion 61 of the Christmas cutter 6 for Christmas (claim 8). In this case, the cutting edge is not formed in at least a part of the concave portion (63, 65, 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6, so that the cutting is perpendicular to the rotation axis 60 (axial direction) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6. The possibility of breakage due to the concave portion (63, 65, 67) having the smallest area cutting the convex portion 42 is reduced.

請求項5ではまた、接続溝4の最も奥側の凹部410を切削する先端凸状部31が形成されることで、大荒加工用カッタ1が最も奥側の凹部410の少なくとも一部を切削することができる。この結果、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の軸方向先端部の凸状部(先端側凸状部62)による切削領域を低減することができるため、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の先端側凸状部62の、切削による負担が軽減される利点もある。荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の先端側凸状部62の切削時の負担が軽減されることで、先端側凸状部62が最も奥側の凹部410を切削するときに回転軸60回りの捩りモーメントの影響を受け易い箇所である先端側凸状部62に隣接する最も断面積の小さい凹状部(先端側凹状部63)が捩りモーメントを受けて折損する可能性も低下する。 In claim 5, the tip convex portion 31 for cutting the innermost concave portion 410 of the connection groove 4 is formed, so that the rough cutting cutter 1 cuts at least a part of the innermost concave portion 410. be able to. As a result, the cutting area due to the convex portion (tip side convex portion 62) of the axial tip portion of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 can be reduced, so that the tip side convex portion 62 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 can be reduced. However, there is also the advantage that the burden of cutting is reduced. By reducing the burden of cutting the tip-side convex portion 62 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6, the torsional moment around the rotation shaft 60 when the tip-side convex portion 62 cuts the innermost concave portion 410. The possibility that the concave portion having the smallest cross-sectional area (concave portion 63 on the distal end side) adjacent to the convex portion 62 on the distal end side, which is easily affected by the above, is broken due to a twisting moment is also reduced.

大荒加工用カッタ1と荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6、及び後述の仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタには後述のように切屑排出溝3bが形成されることがあることから、これらの回転軸10、60に直交する断面積は必ずしも円形状とは限らない。只、いずれのカッタも原形は回転体形状であるから、大荒加工用カッタ1等の回転軸10、60に直交する断面積が円形であるものと仮定し、明細書では便宜的に回転軸10、60から大荒加工用カッタ1等の、回転軸10、60から最も遠い表面までの距離を径と言っている。 Since the chip discharge groove 3b may be formed in the large roughing cutter 1, the roughing Christmas cutter 6, and the finishing Christmas cutter described later as described later, they are orthogonal to the rotation axes 10 and 60. The cross-sectional area to be formed is not always circular. However, since the original shape of each cutter is a rotating body shape, it is assumed that the cross-sectional area orthogonal to the rotating shafts 10 and 60 of the roughing cutter 1 and the like is circular, and in the specification, the rotating shaft 10 is used for convenience. , 60 to the farthest surface from the rotating shafts 10 and 60, such as the cutter 1 for rough machining, is called the diameter.

大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3の凸状部30は軸方向に、先端部寄りからシャンク部2寄りにかけて中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34とに大きく2区間に区分される。この内、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34との間に中間凸状部33の径以上の径を有する中間移行部35が形成されるか、元側凸状部34とシャンク部2との間に元側凸状部34の径以上の径を有する元側移行部36が形成される(請求項1)。中間移行部35と元側移行部36が共に形成されることもある(請求項2)。なお、凸状部30は中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34とに大きく2区分されるが、凸状部30の一部である元側凸状部34のシャンク部2側にも凸状部30が形成された刃部3とは別の刃部3が形成されることもある。 The convex portion 30 of the blade portion 3 of the rough machining cutter 1 is roughly divided into two sections in the axial direction from the tip portion closer to the shank portion 2 to the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original side convex portion 34. Of these, an intermediate transition portion 35 having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the intermediate convex portion 33 is formed between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34, or the original convex portion 34 and the shank portion are formed. A former side transition portion 36 having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the original side convex portion 34 is formed between the two and the former side transition portion 36 (claim 1). The intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 may be formed together (claim 2). The convex portion 30 is roughly divided into an intermediate convex portion 33 and a former convex portion 34, but also on the shank portion 2 side of the former convex portion 34 which is a part of the convex portion 30. A blade portion 3 different from the blade portion 3 on which the convex portion 30 is formed may be formed.

請求項1における「中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34の少なくともいずれか一方の、少なくとも一部の区間の外形線は軸方向の回転軸10と平行である」とは、中間凸状部33の少なくとも一部の区間の外形線のみが回転軸10(軸線)と平行である場合と、元側凸状部34の少なくとも一部の区間の外形線のみが回転軸10と平行である場合の他、中間凸状部33の外形線と元側凸状部34の外形線の少なくとも一部の区間が共に回転軸10と平行である場合があることを言う。「外形線」は図1に示すように刃部3を回転軸10に垂直な方向から見たときの凸状部30の表面の輪郭線を言う。 In claim 1, "the outline of at least a part of at least one of the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original side convex portion 34 is parallel to the rotational axis 10 in the axial direction" is defined as an intermediate convex portion. Only the outline of at least a part of the section of the portion 33 is parallel to the rotation axis 10 (axis), and only the outline of at least a part of the original convex portion 34 is parallel to the rotation axis 10. In addition to the case, it is said that at least a part of the outline of the intermediate convex portion 33 and the outline of the original convex portion 34 may be parallel to the rotation axis 10. The "outer line" refers to the contour line of the surface of the convex portion 30 when the blade portion 3 is viewed from the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis 10 as shown in FIG.

また「凹部41に対応した少なくとも一部の区間」とは、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34の軸方向の区間の内、凹部41に対応した少なくとも一部の区間であり、図1等に示すように凹部41に対応した全長の場合と、図6−(c)の元側凸状部34のように凹部41に対応した一部の区間である場合がある。 Further, the "at least a part of the section corresponding to the recess 41" is at least a part of the sections in the axial direction of the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34, which corresponds to the recess 41. As shown in 1 and the like, there are cases where the total length corresponds to the concave portion 41, and there are cases where the total length corresponds to the concave portion 41 as shown in the original convex portion 34 in FIG. 6- (c).

請求項1における「中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34との間、及び元側凸状部34とシャンク部2との間の少なくともいずれか一方の区間に……移行部(35、36)が形成されている」とは、以下の3通りの場合があることを言う。すなわち、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34との間にのみ中間移行部35が形成される場合と、元側凸状部34とシャンク部2との間にのみ元側移行部36が形成される場合と、中間移行部35と元側移行部36が共に形成される場合(請求項2)がある。 In claim 1, "in at least one of the sections between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 and between the former convex portion 34 and the shank portion 2 ... Transition portion (35, "36) is formed" means that there are the following three cases. That is, when the intermediate transition portion 35 is formed only between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34, and when the original transition portion 36 is formed only between the original convex portion 34 and the shank portion 2. Is formed, and there are cases where the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 are formed together (claim 2).

また「その一方の区間より凸状部30の軸方向先端側に位置する部分」とは、移行部(35、36)が形成された区間より軸方向先端側の部分を指す。図1、図2、図6−(b)は中間移行部35と元側移行部36が形成された場合の例を示す。図6−(a)、(c)は元側移行部36のみが形成され、中間移行部35が形成されていない場合の例を示す。 Further, the "portion located on the axial tip side of the convex portion 30 from one of the sections" refers to a portion on the axial tip side from the section in which the transition portion (35, 36) is formed. FIGS. 1, 2 and 6- (b) show an example in which the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 are formed. 6- (a) and 6- (c) show an example in which only the original transition portion 36 is formed and the intermediate transition portion 35 is not formed.

請求項1における「軸方向先端側に位置する部分の径以上の径を有する移行部」とは、図1に示すように中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34との間に形成された場合の中間移行部35の径が中間凸状部33の径以上であることを言い、元側凸状部34とシャンク部2との間に形成された場合の元側移行部36の径が元側凸状部34の径以上であることを言う。 The "transition portion having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the portion located on the tip side in the axial direction" in claim 1 is formed between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 as shown in FIG. It means that the diameter of the intermediate transition portion 35 is equal to or larger than the diameter of the intermediate convex portion 33, and the diameter of the original transition portion 36 when formed between the original convex portion 34 and the shank portion 2. Is equal to or larger than the diameter of the original convex portion 34.

前記のように請求項1における「刃部3の軸方向先端部を除くシャンク部2側の区間」は深さ方向の最も奥側の凹部410以外の凹部41と、最も奥側の凸部420以外の凸部42を切削する凸状部30である。このことは、刃部3の軸方向先端部を除いた凸状部30の全長に凹状部(くびれ)が形成されないことでもある。刃部3の凸状部30を除いた軸方向先端部は接続溝4の深さ方向の最も奥側の凹部410と最も奥側の凸部420を切削する。 As described above, the "section on the shank portion 2 side excluding the axial tip portion of the blade portion 3" in claim 1 includes a concave portion 41 other than the innermost concave portion 410 in the depth direction and the innermost convex portion 420. The convex portion 30 for cutting the convex portion 42 other than the above. This also means that a concave portion (neck) is not formed on the entire length of the convex portion 30 excluding the axial tip portion of the blade portion 3. The axial tip portion of the blade portion 3 excluding the convex portion 30 cuts the innermost concave portion 410 and the innermost convex portion 420 in the depth direction of the connecting groove 4.

軸方向先端部を除いた凸状部30が軸方向に中間凸状部33とこの径より大きい径を有する元側凸状部34とに区分される。また中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34との間に形成される場合の中間移行部35の径が軸方向先端側に位置する部分の径以上であり、元側凸状部34とシャンク部2との間に形成される場合の元側移行部36の径が軸方向先端側に位置する部分の径以上である。これらのことからも、軸方向先端部を除いた凸状部30の全長に凹状部が形成されないことが言える。 The convex portion 30 excluding the axial tip portion is divided into an intermediate convex portion 33 in the axial direction and a former convex portion 34 having a diameter larger than this diameter. Further, the diameter of the intermediate transition portion 35 when formed between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 is equal to or larger than the diameter of the portion located on the tip side in the axial direction, and the original convex portion 34 and the original side convex portion 34. The diameter of the original side transition portion 36 when formed between the shank portion 2 and the shank portion 2 is equal to or larger than the diameter of the portion located on the tip side in the axial direction. From these facts, it can be said that the concave portion is not formed on the entire length of the convex portion 30 excluding the axial tip portion.

凸状部30の全長に凹状部が形成されないことは、凸状部30の区間には相対的に回転軸10に直交する方向の断面積の小さい箇所が形成されないことを意味する。このことから、凸状部30の区間のいずれか特定の部分が切削時の弱点になることがないため、凸状部30の区間のいずれかの部分での折損の可能性が低下することになる。 The fact that the concave portion is not formed on the entire length of the convex portion 30 means that a portion having a small cross-sectional area in the direction orthogonal to the rotation axis 10 is not formed in the section of the convex portion 30. From this, since any specific part of the section of the convex portion 30 does not become a weak point at the time of cutting, the possibility of breakage in any part of the section of the convex portion 30 is reduced. Become.

図1は中間凸状部33の外形線と元側凸状部34の外形線が共に回転軸10と平行な場合の例を示しているが、回転軸10と平行な外形線は図6−(a)に示すように中間凸状部33のみの場合と(b)、(c)に示すように元側凸状部34のみの場合がある。図6に示す例の場合、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34のいずれか一方の(回転軸10と平行でない)外形線は軸方向先端側からシャンク部2側へかけ、凸状部30の径(回転軸10からの距離)が拡大する直線、もしくは曲線を描く(請求項3)。 FIG. 1 shows an example in which the outer line of the intermediate convex portion 33 and the outer line of the original convex portion 34 are both parallel to the rotating shaft 10, but the outer line parallel to the rotating shaft 10 is shown in FIG. 6-. As shown in (a), there is a case where only the intermediate convex portion 33 is present, and there is a case where only the original side convex portion 34 is shown as shown in (b) and (c). In the case of the example shown in FIG. 6, the outer line of either the intermediate convex portion 33 or the original convex portion 34 (not parallel to the rotating shaft 10) extends from the axial tip side to the shank portion 2 side and is convex. Draw a straight line or a curved line in which the diameter of the portion 30 (distance from the rotating shaft 10) expands (claim 3).

なお、凸状部30の少なくとも一部の凹部41に対応した区間の外形線が回転軸10に平行であることは、大荒加工後の回転軸10に平行な外形線に対応した区間の接続溝4の切削(加工)面が回転軸10に平行になることである。このことから、大荒加工後の溝精度をダイヤルゲージ等で測定する場合に、従来のクリスマスツリー形状の大荒加工用カッタでの切削後よりも切削(加工)面を高精度で測定することができる利点がある。 The fact that the outer line of the section corresponding to at least a part of the concave portion 41 of the convex portion 30 is parallel to the rotating shaft 10 means that the connecting groove of the section corresponding to the outer line parallel to the rotating shaft 10 after the rough machining is performed. The cutting (machining) surface of No. 4 is parallel to the rotation axis 10. From this, when measuring the groove accuracy after rough machining with a dial gauge or the like, it is possible to measure the cut (machined) surface with higher accuracy than after cutting with a conventional Christmas tree-shaped rough machining cutter. There are advantages.

図6に示す例における凸状部33、34の回転軸10と平行でない外形線は軸方向先端側からシャンク部2側へかけて回転軸10からの距離が大きくなる線であり、直線の場合、回転軸10に対して10°程度、傾斜した角度をなしている。この程度の角度の傾斜であれば、凸状部30に中間移行部35と元側移行部36の少なくともいずれか一方を形成しながらも、上記した「凸状部30の全長に凹状部(くびれ)が形成されないこと」の要件は満たされる。 The outlines of the convex portions 33 and 34 that are not parallel to the rotating shaft 10 in the example shown in FIG. 6 are lines in which the distance from the rotating shaft 10 increases from the tip side in the axial direction to the shank portion 2 side, and in the case of a straight line. , It is inclined at an angle of about 10 ° with respect to the rotating shaft 10. With an inclination of this degree, the convex portion 30 is formed with at least one of the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36, while the above-mentioned "concave portion (constriction) over the entire length of the convex portion 30". ) Is not formed ”is satisfied.

図6−(a)に示す例の場合、中間凸状部33の外形線のみが回転軸10と平行であり、中間移行部35に相当する区間から元側凸状部34までの区間の外形線は連続した直線状、もしくは曲線状に形成される。(b)、(c)に示す示す例の場合、元側凸状部34の外形線のみが回転軸10と平行であり、中間凸状部33から元側凸状部34までの区間の外形線は連続した直線状、もしくは曲線状に形成される。 In the case of the example shown in FIG. 6- (a), only the outer line of the intermediate convex portion 33 is parallel to the rotation axis 10, and the outer shape of the section from the section corresponding to the intermediate transition portion 35 to the original side convex portion 34. The line is formed in a continuous straight line or curved line. In the case of the examples shown in (b) and (c), only the outer line of the original convex portion 34 is parallel to the rotation axis 10, and the outer shape of the section from the intermediate convex portion 33 to the original convex portion 34. The line is formed in a continuous straight line or curved line.

図6−(a)、(c)の場合、図1に示す例の中間移行部35は明確には表れないが、回転軸10と平行でない外形線が軸方向先端側からシャンク部2側へかけ、凸状部30の径が拡大する直線、もしくは曲線を描くことで、凸状部30の全長に凹状部(くびれ)は形成されない。図6−(b)の例では中間移行部35と元側移行部36が表れている。 In the case of FIGS. 6- (a) and 6- (c), the intermediate transition portion 35 of the example shown in FIG. 1 does not clearly appear, but the outer line not parallel to the rotation axis 10 is from the tip side in the axial direction to the shank portion 2 side. By drawing a straight line or a curve in which the diameter of the convex portion 30 is expanded, the concave portion (neck) is not formed in the entire length of the convex portion 30. In the example of FIG. 6- (b), the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 appear.

回転軸10と平行でない外形線は図6−(a)では中間凸状部33の元側凸状部34寄りの部分から元側移行部36までの区間に形成され、(b)、(c)では凸状部30(中間凸状部33)の軸方向先端側から図1の例における元側凸状部34の軸方向先端側までの区間、または軸方向中間部までの区間に形成されている。(b)の例では図1に示す例の中間移行部35の一部は形成されている。(b)、(c)の例ではまた、回転軸10と平行でない外形線は図1の例における中間移行部35に対応する凸部42の表面に接するように形成されている。この場合の凸部42の表面は図5に示す仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタの切削代7を残した、大荒加工用カッタ1が切削する範囲の表面を指す。 In FIG. 6- (a), the outline line that is not parallel to the rotation axis 10 is formed in the section from the portion of the intermediate convex portion 33 near the original convex portion 34 to the original transition portion 36, and (b) and (c). ) Is formed in a section from the axial tip side of the convex portion 30 (intermediate convex portion 33) to the axial tip side of the original convex portion 34 in the example of FIG. 1, or a section up to the axial intermediate portion. ing. In the example of (b), a part of the intermediate transition portion 35 of the example shown in FIG. 1 is formed. In the examples of (b) and (c), the outer line not parallel to the rotating shaft 10 is formed so as to be in contact with the surface of the convex portion 42 corresponding to the intermediate transition portion 35 in the example of FIG. In this case, the surface of the convex portion 42 refers to the surface of the range to be cut by the rough machining cutter 1 leaving the cutting allowance 7 of the finishing machining Christmas cutter shown in FIG.

元側凸状部34の径は中間凸状部33の径より大きく、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34との間、もしくは元側凸状部34とシャンク部2との間、または双方の区間に、その区間より凸状部30の軸方向先端側に位置する部分の径以上の径を有する移行部(中間移行部35、元側移行部36)が形成される(請求項1)。このことから、中間移行部35の径は主に中間凸状部33側から元側凸状部34へかけて次第に、あるいは段階的に拡大する。同様に元側移行部36の径は主に元側凸状部34からシャンク部2へかけて次第に、あるいは段階的に拡大する。中間移行部35の外形線、または元側移行部36の外形線の形状は基本的には(請求項1〜3では)問われない。 The diameter of the original convex portion 34 is larger than the diameter of the intermediate convex portion 33, and is between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34, or between the original convex portion 34 and the shank portion 2. Alternatively, a transition portion (intermediate transition portion 35, original side transition portion 36) having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the portion located on the axially tip side of the convex portion 30 from the section is formed in both sections (claim). 1). From this, the diameter of the intermediate transition portion 35 is gradually or gradually increased mainly from the intermediate convex portion 33 side to the original side convex portion 34. Similarly, the diameter of the original side transition portion 36 is gradually or gradually increased mainly from the original side convex portion 34 to the shank portion 2. The shape of the outline of the intermediate transition portion 35 or the outline of the original transition portion 36 is basically not limited (in claims 1 to 3).

請求項1における「中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34の凹部41に対応した区間」とは、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34が接続溝4の凹部41に対応した区間に位置することを言い、中間移行部35、または元側移行部36は接続溝4の凸部42に対応した区間に位置する。一方、大荒加工用カッタ1の凸状部30を含む刃部3は図7に示すように軸方向の全長に切れ刃3aを有するから、中間移行部35、または元側移行部36の区間は凸部42(形成のための被削材5)を切削し、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34は凹部41(形成のための被削材5)を切削する。請求項2では中間移行部35と元側移行部36が共に形成される。 The "section corresponding to the concave portion 41 of the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original side convex portion 34" in claim 1 means that the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original side convex portion 34 correspond to the concave portion 41 of the connection groove 4. It means that it is located in a section, and the intermediate transition portion 35 or the original transition portion 36 is located in a section corresponding to the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4. On the other hand, since the blade portion 3 including the convex portion 30 of the rough cutting cutter 1 has a cutting edge 3a over the entire length in the axial direction as shown in FIG. 7, the section of the intermediate transition portion 35 or the original side transition portion 36 is The convex portion 42 (work material 5 for formation) is cut, and the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 cut the concave portion 41 (work material 5 for formation). In claim 2, the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 are formed together.

請求項1では中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34との間に形成される場合の中間移行部35を中間凸状部33から元側凸状部34へかけて径が拡大する形状(立体形状)に形成できる。また元側凸状部34とシャンク部2との間に形成される場合の元側移行部36を元側凸状部34からシャンク部2へかけて径が拡大する形状(立体形状)に形成できる。これらのことは、中間移行部35と元側移行部36の表面(外形線)を凸部42の表面に沿った立面形状に形成し易いことを意味するため、中間移行部35と元側移行部36は凸部42に対応した区間を切削することが合理的である。中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34は中間移行部35が切削する凸部42の上下に隣接する凹部41、41に対応した区間を切削することになる。 In claim 1, a shape in which the diameter of the intermediate transition portion 35 formed between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 increases from the intermediate convex portion 33 to the original convex portion 34. Can be formed into a (three-dimensional shape). Further, the original transition portion 36 when formed between the original convex portion 34 and the shank portion 2 is formed in a shape (three-dimensional shape) in which the diameter increases from the original convex portion 34 to the shank portion 2. it can. These things mean that the surfaces (outer lines) of the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 can be easily formed into an elevation shape along the surface of the convex portion 42. Therefore, the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original side are easily formed. It is rational for the transition portion 36 to cut a section corresponding to the convex portion 42. The intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 cut a section corresponding to the concave portions 41 and 41 adjacent to the upper and lower sides of the convex portion 42 to be cut by the intermediate transition portion 35.

一方、大荒加工用カッタ1は刃部3の軸方向の全長に切れ刃を有することで(請求項1、2)、大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3は回転軸10回りの回転により被削材5の接続溝4を深さ方向の全長に亘り、またはほぼ全長に亘り、切削することができる。上記のように中間移行部35と元側移行部36は接続溝4の内、凸部42(形成のための被削材5)を切削するが、中間移行部35と元側移行部36の径が刃部3の先端部側からシャンク部2側へかけて拡大することで、中間移行部35と元側移行部36は凸部42の表面形状に沿い、凸部42を形成するための多くの被削材5を切削することが可能である。 On the other hand, the rough machining cutter 1 has a cutting edge over the entire length in the axial direction of the blade portion 3 (claims 1 and 2), so that the blade portion 3 of the rough machining cutter 1 is machined by rotating about 10 rotation axes. The connection groove 4 of the material 5 can be cut over the entire length in the depth direction or almost the entire length. As described above, the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original side transition portion 36 cut the convex portion 42 (work material 5 for formation) in the connection groove 4, but the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original side transition portion 36 By expanding the diameter from the tip end side of the blade portion 3 to the shank portion 2 side, the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original side transition portion 36 follow the surface shape of the convex portion 42 to form the convex portion 42. It is possible to cut many work materials 5.

詳しく言えば、請求項1、2では形成された場合の中間移行部35と元側移行部36が、それぞれの対応する深さに位置する接続溝4の凸部42において図5に示すように深さ方向の浅い側から深い側へかけ、凸部42の表面形状に従った凸形状に被削材5を切削することができる。すなわち、凸部42を形成するための多くの量の被削材5を切削することができる。結果として同一の凸部42における後続の荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6による被削材5の切削量を低減することができるため、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(中間部凹状部65とシャンク部側凹状部67)の負担を軽減することが可能になる。 More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36, which are formed in claims 1 and 2, are formed in the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4 located at the corresponding depths, respectively. The work material 5 can be cut into a convex shape according to the surface shape of the convex portion 42 from the shallow side to the deep side in the depth direction. That is, a large amount of work material 5 for forming the convex portion 42 can be cut. As a result, the amount of cutting of the work material 5 by the subsequent roughing Christmas cutter 6 on the same convex portion 42 can be reduced, so that the concave portion (intermediate concave portion 65 and shank portion) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 can be reduced. It is possible to reduce the burden on the side concave portion 67).

図5中、実線が中間移行部35と元側移行部36を有する大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3の外形線を、破線が大荒加工用カッタ1に続く荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61の外形線を示す。ここに示すように中間移行部35の区間に対応する凸部42においては実線が破線より被削材5寄りを通るため、この凸部42の区間では大荒加工用カッタ1による被削材5の切削量を荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6による被削材5の切削量より多くできることが分かる。 In FIG. 5, the solid line is the outline of the blade portion 3 of the rough machining cutter 1 having the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original side transition portion 36, and the broken line is the blade portion of the rough machining Christmas cutter 6 following the rough machining cutter 1. The outline of 61 is shown. As shown here, in the convex portion 42 corresponding to the section of the intermediate transition portion 35, the solid line passes closer to the work material 5 than the broken line. It can be seen that the cutting amount can be made larger than the cutting amount of the work material 5 by the roughing Christmas cutter 6.

中間移行部35と元側移行部36を共に有する場合(請求項2)には、図5に示すように接続溝4の最も奥側の凸部420以外の凸部42において両移行部35、36が凸部42の表面形状に従った凸形状に被削材5を切削することができる。結果的に凸部42を形成するための多くの被削材5を大荒加工用カッタ1が切削することができ、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(シャンク部側凹状部67)の負担を軽減することができる。 When both the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 are provided (claim 2), both transition portions 35, in the convex portions 42 other than the innermost convex portion 420 of the connection groove 4, as shown in FIG. The work material 5 can be cut into a convex shape in which 36 follows the surface shape of the convex portion 42. As a result, the large roughing cutter 1 can cut many work materials 5 for forming the convex portion 42, and the burden on the concave portion (shank portion side concave portion 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is borne. It can be mitigated.

請求項1では中間移行部35と元側移行部36の少なくともいずれかが凸部42形成のための多くの被削材5を切削することができる。請求項2では中間移行部35と元側移行部36が共に凸部42形成のための多くの被削材5を切削することができる。これらのことから、大荒加工用カッタ1による大荒加工工程後の荒加工工程で被削材5を切削する荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)の少なくとも一部に切れ刃を形成せずに済ませることが可能になる(請求項8)。 In claim 1, at least one of the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 can cut a large number of work materials 5 for forming the convex portion 42. In claim 2, both the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 can cut a large number of work materials 5 for forming the convex portion 42. From these facts, a cutting edge is formed on at least a part of the concave portion (63, 65, 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 that cuts the work material 5 in the roughing step after the roughing step by the roughing cutter 1. (Claim 8).

図3−(b)に示すように荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6に、接続溝4の凸部42に対応した、回転軸60に垂直な断面積が相対的に小さい凹状部(63、65、67)を形成しながらも、前記の通り、凹状部(63、65、67)への切れ刃を形成を要しないことで、凹状部(63、65、67)での被削材5の切削が不要になる。この結果、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)での折損の可能性を低下させる効果を得ることが可能になる。 As shown in FIG. 3- (b), the roughing Christmas cutter 6 has a concave portion (63, 65, 67) having a relatively small cross-sectional area perpendicular to the rotation axis 60, which corresponds to the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4. ), But as described above, it is not necessary to form a cutting edge in the concave portion (63, 65, 67), so that the work material 5 can be cut in the concave portion (63, 65, 67). It becomes unnecessary. As a result, it is possible to obtain the effect of reducing the possibility of breakage at the concave portions (63, 65, 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6.

荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)に切れ刃が形成されている場合、回転軸60に直交する方向の断面積の小さい箇所である軸方向先端側の凹状部(先端側凹状部63)に被削材5の切削時に最も折損の可能性が高い。そこで、少なくともこの先端側凹状部63の表面に切れ刃を形成しないことが、折損の可能性が最も高い先端側凹状部63での折損の可能性を低下させる上では特に有効である。 When a cutting edge is formed in the concave portion (63, 65, 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6, the concave portion (tip) on the tip side in the axial direction, which is a portion having a small cross-sectional area in the direction orthogonal to the rotation axis 60. The possibility of breakage is highest when the work material 5 is cut into the side concave portion 63). Therefore, it is particularly effective not to form a cutting edge on the surface of the tip-side concave portion 63 at least in order to reduce the possibility of breakage in the tip-side concave portion 63 having the highest possibility of breakage.

大荒加工用カッタ1の中間移行部35と元側移行部36は接続溝4の内、凸部42を形成するための多くの被削材5を切削する反面、接続溝4の凹部41に対応した区間の中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34の外形線が回転軸10と平行であることで、刃部3全体では特許文献2における大荒加工用クリスマスカッタの刃部が切削する接続溝4の切削量(容積)が少なくなる。 The intermediate transition portion 35 and the original side transition portion 36 of the cutter 1 for rough machining cut many work materials 5 for forming the convex portion 42 in the connection groove 4, but correspond to the concave portion 41 of the connection groove 4. Since the outer lines of the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 of the section are parallel to the rotation axis 10, the blade portion of the Christmas cutter for rough machining in Patent Document 2 is cut in the entire blade portion 3. The cutting amount (volume) of the groove 4 is reduced.

特許文献2の図6に示す大荒加工用クリスマスカッタの例では図4−(a)に示すように刃部に軸方向に凹状部と凸状部が交互に形成されている関係で、凸状部が接続溝の凸部から凹部に径方向に入り込むように切削するため、凸状部による凹部の切削時に断面積の小さい凹状部に生じる負担(捩りモーメント)の影響で凹状部は折損の可能性を秘める。特許文献2の大荒加工用クリスマスカッタの刃部の切削量は接続溝4全体の切削量の80%程度を占めている。 In the example of the Christmas cutter for rough cutting shown in FIG. 6 of Patent Document 2, as shown in FIG. 4- (a), concave portions and convex portions are alternately formed in the axial direction on the blade portion, so that the blade portion is convex. Since the portion is cut so as to enter the concave portion in the radial direction from the convex portion of the connection groove, the concave portion can be broken due to the influence of the load (twisting moment) generated on the concave portion having a small cross-sectional area when cutting the concave portion by the convex portion. Have sex. The cutting amount of the cutting edge of the Christmas cutter for rough machining of Patent Document 2 occupies about 80% of the cutting amount of the entire connecting groove 4.

これに対し、請求項1、2の大荒加工用カッタ1の中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34は図3−(a)に示すように接続溝4の凸部42を切削する中間移行部35から径方向外周側へ突出する形状をしないことで、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34が接続溝4の凸部42から凹部41に径方向に入り込むように切削することがない。すなわち、前記のように中間凸状部33からシャンク部2までの区間に回転軸10に垂直な断面積の小さい凹状部が形成されることがない。 On the other hand, the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original side convex portion 34 of the rough machining cutter 1 of claims 1 and 2 are intermediate in cutting the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4 as shown in FIG. 3- (a). By not forming a shape that protrudes from the transition portion 35 to the outer peripheral side in the radial direction, the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 are cut so as to enter the concave portion 41 from the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4 in the radial direction. There is no. That is, as described above, the concave portion having a small cross-sectional area perpendicular to the rotation axis 10 is not formed in the section from the intermediate convex portion 33 to the shank portion 2.

従って前記のように中間凸状部33からシャンク部2までの区間のいずれかの部分が切削時の弱点になることがないため、中間凸状部33からシャンク部2までの区間のいずれかの部分での折損の可能性は低下している。中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34が中間移行部35から径方向外周側へ突出しないことで、請求項1、2の大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3の切削量は接続溝4全体の切削量の70%程度以下に留まる。 Therefore, as described above, any part of the section from the intermediate convex portion 33 to the shank portion 2 does not become a weak point at the time of cutting, and therefore any part of the section from the intermediate convex portion 33 to the shank portion 2 The possibility of partial breakage is reduced. Since the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 do not protrude from the intermediate transition portion 35 toward the outer peripheral side in the radial direction, the cutting amount of the blade portion 3 of the rough machining cutter 1 according to claims 1 and 2 is the connection groove 4. It stays at about 70% or less of the total cutting amount.

荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61と後述の仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタは図3−(b)、(c)に示すようにクリスマスツリー形状をするのに対し、本願発明の大荒加工用カッタ1は上記のように中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34が径方向外周側へ突出する形状をしないことで、クリスマスツリー形状をしないため、単にカッタと呼称している。 The blade portion 61 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 and the finishing Christmas cutter described later have a Christmas tree shape as shown in FIGS. 3-(b) and (c), whereas the large roughing cutter 1 of the present invention has a shape of a Christmas tree. Is simply called a cutter because it does not have a Christmas tree shape because the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 do not protrude toward the outer peripheral side in the radial direction as described above.

大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3の切削量は少ない方が被削材5を切削するときの大荒加工用カッタ1自身の負担(負荷)は小さくなるが、反面、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の切削量が増すことで、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の負担が大きくなり、凹状部(63、65、67)での折損の可能性が高まる。このことから、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)での被削材5の切削を不要にしながら、大荒加工用カッタ1の凸状部30のいずれかの部分での折損の可能性を低下させる上では、大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3の切削量は接続溝4全体の切削量の60%程度(下限値)から70%程度(上限値)の範囲にあることが適切である。 The smaller the cutting amount of the blade portion 3 of the rough machining cutter 1, the smaller the burden (load) of the rough machining cutter 1 itself when cutting the work material 5, but on the other hand, the rough machining Christmas cutter 6 As the amount of cutting increases, the burden on the roughing Christmas cutter 6 increases, and the possibility of breakage at the concave portions (63, 65, 67) increases. From this, it is not necessary to cut the work material 5 at the concave portion (63, 65, 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6, and at any part of the convex portion 30 of the large roughing cutter 1. In order to reduce the possibility of breakage, the cutting amount of the blade portion 3 of the rough cutting cutter 1 is in the range of about 60% (lower limit value) to about 70% (upper limit value) of the cutting amount of the entire connecting groove 4. Is appropriate.

「移行部(中間移行部35と元側移行部36)が凸部42の表面形状に従った凸形状に被削材5を切削する」ための形状としては、少なくともいずれかの移行部(35、36)の、凸部42に対応した少なくとも一部の区間の外形線が凸部42の表面形状に沿い、軸方向先端側からシャンク部2側へかけ、凸状部30の径(回転軸10からの距離)が次第に拡大する曲線を描いていることが適切である(請求項4)。「凸状部30の径が次第に拡大する曲線」は大荒加工用カッタ1の回転軸10から、回転軸10に垂直な方向に最も遠い凸状部30の表面までの距離が次第に拡大する曲線と言い換えられる。 The shape for "the transition portion (intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36) cuts the work material 5 into a convex shape according to the surface shape of the convex portion 42" is at least one of the transition portions (35). , 36), the outline of at least a part of the section corresponding to the convex portion 42 follows the surface shape of the convex portion 42, extends from the tip side in the axial direction to the shank portion 2 side, and the diameter of the convex portion 30 (rotation axis). It is appropriate to draw a curve in which (distance from 10) gradually expands (claim 4). The "curve in which the diameter of the convex portion 30 gradually expands" is a curve in which the distance from the rotation axis 10 of the cutter 1 for rough machining to the surface of the convex portion 30 farthest in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis 10 gradually increases. In other words.

この移行部(中間移行部35と元側移行部36)の曲線は図5に示すように接続溝4と大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3を中心軸O(回転軸10)に平行な断面で見たとき(中心軸Oに垂直な方向に見たとき)の接続溝4の凸部42の少なくとも一部の表面に沿った曲線である。図6−(a)〜(c)に示す例では元側移行部36の外形線が凸部42の表面に沿った曲線になっている。 As shown in FIG. 5, the curve of the transition portion (intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36) has a cross section of the connection groove 4 and the blade portion 3 of the rough machining cutter 1 parallel to the central axis O (rotation axis 10). It is a curve along the surface of at least a part of the convex portion 42 of the connecting groove 4 when viewed in (when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the central axis O). In the examples shown in FIGS. 6- (a) to 6- (c), the outer line of the original side transition portion 36 is a curved line along the surface of the convex portion 42.

少なくともいずれかの移行部(35、36)の、少なくとも一部の外形線が凸部42の表面に沿った曲線を描くことで、上記のように中間移行部35と元側移行部36(の切れ刃)の少なくともいずれかがそれに対応した凸部42を形成するための多くの被削材5を切削することができ、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61の凹状部(63、65、67)での被削材5の切削量をより少なくすることが可能になる。 By drawing a curve along the surface of the convex portion 42 for at least a part of the outline of at least one of the transition portions (35, 36), the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 (of) At least one of the cutting edges) can cut many work materials 5 for forming the corresponding convex portion 42, and the concave portion (63, 65,) of the blade portion 61 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 can be cut. It becomes possible to reduce the cutting amount of the work material 5 in 67).

このように請求項4では図5に示すように中間移行部35と元側移行部36の少なくともいずれかが接続溝4の凸部42の区間の内、深さ方向(中心軸O方向)に多くの範囲の被削材5を切削することができるため、大荒加工に続いて使用される荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)での凸部42形成のための被削材5の切削を完全に、もしくはほぼ完全に不要にすることができる。 As described above, in claim 4, as shown in FIG. 5, at least one of the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 is in the depth direction (central axis O direction) in the section of the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4. Since a large range of work material 5 can be cut, a cover for forming a convex portion 42 in the concave portion (63, 65, 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 used after the large roughing. Cutting of the cutting material 5 can be completely or almost completely unnecessary.

請求項4の要件は請求項1における要件「凸状部30の軸方向先端側に位置する部分の径以上の径を有する移行部(35、36)が形成されていること」の具体例であり、この請求項1の要件を請求項2も引き継ぐから、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)での凸部42形成のための被削材5の切削を不要にできる利点は請求項1と請求項2に記載の要件から導かれる。 The requirement of claim 4 is a specific example of the requirement of claim 1, "a transition portion (35, 36) having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of a portion located on the axial tip side of the convex portion 30 is formed". Since the requirement of claim 1 is inherited by claim 2, it is not necessary to cut the work material 5 for forming the convex portion 42 at the concave portion (63, 65, 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6. The possible advantages are derived from the requirements set forth in claims 1 and 2.

大荒加工用カッタ1の回転軸10と荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の回転軸60を重ね、大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3の外形線と荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61の外形線を重ねた図5の左側において、刃部3、61のシャンク部2寄りの、回転軸10に垂直な平面との交点をAとする。また接続溝4の深さ方向の浅い側から深い側へかけ、大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線と荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の外形線の交点をB〜Gとする。上記のように図中、実線が大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3の外形線を、破線が荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61の外形線を示す。 The rotating shaft 10 of the roughing cutter 1 and the rotating shaft 60 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 are overlapped, and the outline of the blade 3 of the roughing cutter 1 and the outline of the blade 61 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 are aligned. On the left side of the overlapped FIG. 5, the intersection of the blade portions 3 and 61 near the shank portion 2 with the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis 10 is defined as A. Further, from the shallow side to the deep side in the depth direction of the connection groove 4, the intersection of the outer line of the large roughing cutter 1 and the outer line of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is defined as BG. As described above, in the figure, the solid line shows the outline of the blade portion 3 of the rough machining cutter 1, and the broken line shows the outline of the blade portion 61 of the rough machining Christmas cutter 6.

図5を含め、図面では大荒加工用カッタ1の凸状部30の軸方向先端側に連続し、最も奥側の凸部420を切削する凹状部32が形成され、この凹状部32の軸方向先端側に連続し、最も奥側の凹部410を切削する先端凸状部31が形成された場合(請求項5)の例を示している。図面では特に、先端凸状部31が最も奥側の凹部410(形成のための被削材5)の一部を切削し、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61の軸方向先端部の凸状部(先端側凸状部62)が先端凸状部31より多くの領域(被削材5)を切削する場合の例を示している。 In the drawings including FIG. 5, a concave portion 32 that is continuous with the axially leading end side of the convex portion 30 of the rough machining cutter 1 and cuts the innermost convex portion 420 is formed, and the concave portion 32 is formed in the axial direction. An example is shown in the case where the tip convex portion 31 that is continuous with the tip side and cuts the innermost concave portion 410 is formed (claim 5). In the drawing, in particular, the convex tip portion 31 cuts a part of the concave portion 410 (work material 5 for forming) on the innermost side, and the convex tip portion in the axial direction of the blade portion 61 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is convex. An example is shown in which the shaped portion (convex portion 62 on the tip side) cuts a region (work material 5) larger than that of the convex portion 31 on the tip side.

凸状部30の軸方向先端側に先端凸状部31が形成された場合(請求項5)には、先端凸状部31の外形線(表面)をそれに対応した凹部410の表面形状に沿った、または近い形状に、あるいは円柱形状等に形成することもできる。但し、図1等に示すように先端凸状部31をシャンク部2側から軸方向先端側へかけ、径が小さくなる形状に形成することで(請求項6)、先端凸状部31による最も奥側の凹部410の切削時に凸状部30が被削材5から受ける抵抗を抑えることができるため、先端凸状部31のシャンク部2側に隣接する凹状部32の最も径の小さい部分の折損の可能性を低下させることができる。 When the tip convex portion 31 is formed on the axial tip side of the convex portion 30 (claim 5), the outer line (surface) of the tip convex portion 31 follows the surface shape of the corresponding recess 410. It can also be formed in a shape similar to or close to that of a cylinder, or in a cylindrical shape. However, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the tip convex portion 31 is formed in a shape in which the diameter becomes smaller by extending the tip convex portion 31 from the shank portion 2 side to the tip side in the axial direction (claim 6). Since the resistance that the convex portion 30 receives from the work material 5 when cutting the concave portion 410 on the back side can be suppressed, the smallest diameter portion of the concave portion 32 adjacent to the shank portion 2 side of the tip convex portion 31 The possibility of breakage can be reduced.

請求項6の場合、先端凸状部31が円錐台形状等に形成されることで、円柱形状の場合より凹部41の切削範囲が抑えられ、回転軸10から先端凸状部31の表面までの距離が小さくなるため、凹状部32が被削材5から受ける抵抗が低減される。この結果、先端凸状部31による凹部410の切削時に先端凸状部31のシャンク部2側に隣接する凹状部32に作用する捩りモーメントを低減できるため、凹状部32の折損の可能性を低下させることができる。 In the case of claim 6, since the tip convex portion 31 is formed in a truncated cone shape or the like, the cutting range of the concave portion 41 is suppressed as compared with the case of the cylindrical shape, and the distance from the rotating shaft 10 to the surface of the tip convex portion 31 is reduced. Since the distance is reduced, the resistance that the concave portion 32 receives from the work material 5 is reduced. As a result, when the concave portion 410 is cut by the convex tip portion 31, the twisting moment acting on the concave portion 32 adjacent to the shank portion 2 side of the convex tip portion 31 can be reduced, so that the possibility of the concave portion 32 being broken is reduced. Can be made to.

図5中、接続溝4の凸部42に対応する区間AB、区間CD、区間EFでは前記のように大荒加工用カッタ1の表面(外形線)が、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の表面(外形線)より接続溝4の中心軸Oから遠くに位置するため、大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3が凸部42を形成するための被削材5の多くを切削する。従って荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)が凸部42形成のための被削材5を切削する必要が全く、またはほとんどなく、この区間の荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)には切れ刃を形成する必要が全く、またはほとんどないことになる(請求項8)。 In FIG. 5, in the section AB, the section CD, and the section EF corresponding to the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4, the surface (outer line) of the large roughing cutter 1 is the surface (outer shape) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 as described above. Since it is located far from the central axis O of the connection groove 4 (line), the blade portion 3 of the rough machining cutter 1 cuts most of the work material 5 for forming the convex portion 42. Therefore, it is not necessary or almost necessary for the concave portion (63, 65, 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 to cut the work material 5 for forming the convex portion 42, and the roughing Christmas cutter 6 in this section has no or little need to cut. There is little or no need to form a cutting edge in the recesses (63, 65, 67) (claim 8).

接続溝4の凹部41に対応する区間BC、区間DEと区間FGでは荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の表面(外形線)が、大荒加工用カッタ1の表面(外形線)より接続溝4の中心軸Oから遠くに位置する。従ってこれらの区間では荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凸状部(62、64、66)が凹部41形成のための被削材5の多くを切削するため、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凸状部(62、64、66)の表面には切れ刃が形成される(請求項8)。 In the section BC, section DE and section FG corresponding to the recess 41 of the connection groove 4, the surface (outer line) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is the central axis of the connecting groove 4 from the surface (outer line) of the large roughing cutter 1. It is located far from O. Therefore, in these sections, the convex portion (62, 64, 66) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 cuts most of the work material 5 for forming the concave portion 41, so that the convex portion of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is cut. A cutting edge is formed on the surface of (62, 64, 66) (claim 8).

It can also be said to be a boundary point for partitioning the axial range of (the concave portion 67 on the shank portion side). Similarly, the intersection points C and D can be said to be boundary points for partitioning the axial range of the intermediate transition portion 35 of the rough machining cutter 1, and the concave portion (intermediate concave portion 65) of the axial intermediate portion of the rough machining Christmas cutter 6. It can be said that it is a boundary point that divides the axial range of). The intersection points E and F can be said to be boundary points for partitioning the range of the concave portion 32 of the rough machining cutter 1, and partition the range of the concave portion (tip side concave portion 62) on the axial tip side of the rough machining Christmas cutter 6. It can be said to be a boundary point.

また交点B、Cは大荒加工用カッタ1の元側凸状部34の軸方向の範囲を区画する目安としての境界点とも言え、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6のシャンク部側の凸状部(シャンク部側凸状部66)の軸方向の範囲を区画する境界点とも言える。交点D、Eは大荒加工用カッタ1の中間凸状部33の軸方向の範囲を区画する目安としての境界点とも言え、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の軸方向中間部の凸状部(中間部凸状部64)の軸方向の範囲を区画する境界点とも言える。 Further, the intersections B and C can be said to be boundary points as a guideline for partitioning the axial range of the original convex portion 34 of the rough machining cutter 1, and the convex portion (shank) on the shank portion side of the rough machining Christmas cutter 6. It can be said that it is a boundary point that divides the axial range of the convex portion 66) on the portion side. The intersections D and E can be said to be boundary points as a guide for dividing the axial range of the intermediate convex portion 33 of the rough machining cutter 1, and the convex portion (intermediate portion) of the axial intermediate portion of the roughing Christmas cutter 6. It can be said that it is a boundary point that divides the axial range of the convex portion 64).

交点F、Gは大荒加工用カッタ1の先端凸状部31の軸方向の範囲を区画する目安としての境界点とも言え、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の軸方向先端部の凸状部(先端側凸状部62)の軸方向の範囲を区画する境界点とも言える。交点Fは大荒加工用カッタ1の凹状部32と先端凸状部31の境界点でもあり、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の先端側の凹状部(先端側凹状部63)とその先端側の凸状部(先端側凸状部62)の境界点でもある。交点Gは接続溝4の最も奥側の凹部410の底の位置に相当する。図面では凹部41と凸部42が共に3個、形成された場合の接続溝4の断面形状の例を示すが、凹部41と凸部42は4個以上、形成される場合もある。 The intersections F and G can be said to be boundary points as a guide for dividing the axial range of the tip convex portion 31 of the rough machining cutter 1, and the convex portion (tip side) of the axial tip of the roughing Christmas cutter 6. It can be said that it is a boundary point that divides the axial range of the convex portion 62).

It is also a boundary point of the portion (convex portion 62 on the tip side). The intersection G corresponds to the position of the bottom of the innermost recess 410 of the connection groove 4. In the drawing, an example of the cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove 4 when three concave portions 41 and three convex portions 42 are formed is shown, but four or more concave portions 41 and four or more convex portions 42 may be formed.

上記のように請求項1〜6では荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の複数の凹状部(63、65、67)での凸部42形成のための被削材5の切削が不要になるか、削減されることで(請求項8)、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)の径をこれに対応する大荒加工用カッタ1の凹状部32と中間移行部35、元側移行部36の径より小さくすることができる。この結果、大荒加工用カッタ1の凹状部32と中間移行部35、元側移行部36が切削した後の凸部42の表面に荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部(63、65、67)を接触させずに済むことが可能になる。 As described above, in claims 1 to 6, cutting of the work material 5 for forming the convex portion 42 at the plurality of concave portions (63, 65, 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 becomes unnecessary or reduced. (Claim 8), the diameter of the concave portion (63, 65, 67) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is changed to the concave portion 32 of the large roughing cutter 1 corresponding to this, the intermediate transition portion 35, and the original side.

大荒加工用カッタの刃部の軸方向先端部を除くシャンク部側の区間に、深さ方向の最も奥側の凹部以外の凹部と、最も奥側の凸部以外の凸部を切削する凸状部を形成し、凸状部を軸方向に先端部寄りの中間凸状部と、シャンク部寄りの、中間凸状部の径より大きい径の元側凸状部とに区分している。また中間凸状部と元側凸状部との間、及び元側凸状部とシャンク部との間の少なくともいずれか一方の区間に、その区間より凸状部の軸方向先端側に位置する部分の径以上の径を有する移行部を形成するため、この移行部を軸方向先端側からシャンク部側へかけて径が拡大する形状に形成することができる。 Convex shape that cuts the concave part other than the innermost concave part in the depth direction and the convex part other than the innermost convex part in the section on the shank part side excluding the axial tip part of the blade part of the rough machining cutter. A portion is formed, and the convex portion is divided into an intermediate convex portion closer to the tip portion in the axial direction and a former convex portion having a diameter larger than the diameter of the intermediate convex portion near the shank portion. Further, it is located in at least one of the sections between the intermediate convex portion and the original convex portion and between the former convex portion and the shank portion, and is located on the axial tip side of the convex portion from the section. Since the transition portion having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the portion is formed, the transition portion can be formed in a shape in which the diameter increases from the tip side in the axial direction to the shank portion side.

この結果、移行部の表面を接続溝の凸部の表面に沿った立面形状に形成することができ、移行部はそれに対応する深さに位置する接続溝の凸部の表面形状に従った凸形状に被削材を切削することができるため、凸部を形成するための多くの被削材を切削することができる。 As a result, the surface of the transition portion can be formed into an elevation shape along the surface of the convex portion of the connection groove, and the transition portion follows the surface shape of the convex portion of the connection groove located at the corresponding depth. Since the work material can be cut into a convex shape, many work materials for forming the convex portion can be cut.

従って大荒加工用カッタによる大荒加工工程後の荒加工工程で被削材を切削する荒加工用クリスマスカッタの凹状部の少なくとも一部に切れ刃を形成せずに済ませることができ、凹状部での被削材の切削を不要にできるか、削減できる。結果として、荒加工用クリスマスカッタに接続溝の凸部に対応した、回転軸に垂直な断面積が相対的に小さい凹状部を形成しながらも、荒加工用クリスマスカッタの凹状部での折損の可能性を低下させることができる。 Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the need to form a cutting edge in at least a part of the concave portion of the roughing Christmas cutter that cuts the work material in the roughing process after the rough machining process using the large roughing cutter. Cutting of work material can be eliminated or reduced. As a result, the roughing Christmas cutter is formed with a concave portion having a relatively small cross-sectional area perpendicular to the rotation axis corresponding to the convex portion of the connection groove, but the roughing Christmas cutter is broken at the concave portion. The possibility can be reduced.

図1は複数の凹部41と複数の凸部42が交互に繰り返して配列する形に形成されるタービン翼接続のための接続溝4を切削加工する方法において、図3−(a)に示すように接続溝4を大荒加工をする大荒加工工程で使用される大荒加工用カッタ1の製作例を示す。大荒加工用カッタ1は工作機械に把持されるシャンク部2の軸方向先端部側に、接続溝4の複数の凹部41と複数の凸部42を切削する、軸方向の全長に切れ刃3aを有する刃部3が一体的に形成された形状をする。 FIG. 1 shows a method of cutting a connection groove 4 for connecting turbine blades, which is formed in a shape in which a plurality of concave portions 41 and a plurality of convex portions 42 are alternately and repeatedly arranged, as shown in FIG. 3- (a). An example of manufacturing a cutter 1 for rough machining used in a rough machining process in which the connection groove 4 is roughed is shown. The rough machining cutter 1 cuts a plurality of concave portions 41 and a plurality of convex portions 42 of the connection groove 4 on the axial tip side of the shank portion 2 gripped by the machine tool, and has a cutting edge 3a over the entire length in the axial direction. The blade portion 3 to be held has a shape integrally formed.

接続溝4は図3−(a)〜(c)に示すように大荒加工用カッタ1を使用した大荒加工工程と、(b)に示す荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6を使用した荒加工工程と、仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタを使用した仕上げ加工工程を経て形成される。仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタは図示されていないが、(c)に示す仕上げ加工後の接続溝4の表面形状に沿った立面形状をしている。図2は仕上げ加工工程後に形成される接続溝4と大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線との関係を示している。図3−(a)に示すように大荒加工工程終了後には接続溝4に明確な凹部41と凸部42は現れないため、凹部41と凸部42は主に図3−(b)に示す荒加工工程終了後に、または(c)に示す仕上げ加工工程終了後に形成された接続溝4の凹部と凸部を言う。 The connection groove 4 includes a rough machining step using the rough machining cutter 1 as shown in FIGS. 3-(a) to (c), a rough machining step using the rough machining Christmas cutter 6 shown in (b), and a rough machining step. It is formed through a finishing process using a Christmas cutter for finishing. Although the Christmas cutter for finishing is not shown, it has an elevation shape that follows the surface shape of the connecting groove 4 after finishing as shown in (c). FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the connection groove 4 formed after the finishing process and the outline of the rough processing cutter 1. As shown in FIG. 3- (a), since the concave recess 41 and the convex portion 42 do not appear clearly in the connection groove 4 after the rough machining process is completed, the concave portion 41 and the convex portion 42 are mainly shown in FIG. 3- (b). It refers to the concave portion and the convex portion of the connection groove 4 formed after the completion of the roughing process or after the completion of the finishing process shown in (c).

刃部3の切れ刃3aは図7に示すように刃部3の軸方向先端からシャンク部2へかけて回転軸10に対して捩れ角を持ちながら、軸方向に連続的に溝状に形成される切屑排出溝3bの回転方向後方側の面(すくい面)の半径方向外周側の縁に、凸の稜線等として形成される。「刃部3の軸方向先端」はシャンク部2とは反対側の端部を指す。 As shown in FIG. 7, the cutting edge 3a of the blade portion 3 is formed in a continuous groove shape in the axial direction while having a twist angle with respect to the rotation shaft 10 from the axial tip of the blade portion 3 to the shank portion 2. It is formed as a convex ridge line or the like on the edge of the surface (rake face) on the rear side in the rotation direction of the chip discharge groove 3b on the outer peripheral side in the radial direction. The "axial tip of the blade portion 3" refers to the end portion on the opposite side of the shank portion 2.

仕上げ加工工程を経て最終的に形成される接続溝4は図3−(c)に示すように被削材5の深さ方向に複数の凹部41と複数の凸部42が交互に繰り返して配列する形に形成される。各凹部41と各凸部42の、深さ方向を向く中心軸Oから中心軸Oに垂直な方向に最も遠い位置までの距離は深さ方向の奥側から表面側へかけて次第に大きくなるクリスマスツリー状の断面形状をする。 As shown in FIG. 3- (c), the connection groove 4 finally formed through the finishing process has a plurality of concave portions 41 and a plurality of convex portions 42 arranged alternately and repeatedly in the depth direction of the work material 5. It is formed in the shape of The distance from the central axis O facing the depth direction to the farthest position in the direction perpendicular to the central axis O of each concave portion 41 and each convex portion 42 gradually increases from the inner side to the front side in the depth direction. It has a tree-like cross-sectional shape.

刃部3の軸方向先端部を除くシャンク部2側の区間には図2、図3−(a)に示すように接続溝4の深さ方向の最も奥側の凹部410以外の凹部41と、最も奥側の凸部420以外の凸部42を切削する凸状部30が形成される。凸状部30は図1に示すように軸方向に先端部寄りの中間凸状部33と、シャンク部2寄りの、中間凸状部33の径より大きい径を有する元側凸状部34とに大きく区分される。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3- (a), the section on the shank portion 2 side excluding the axial tip portion of the blade portion 3 has a recess 41 other than the recess 410 on the innermost side in the depth direction of the connection groove 4. , A convex portion 30 for cutting the convex portion 42 other than the convex portion 420 on the innermost side is formed. As shown in FIG. 1, the convex portion 30 includes an intermediate convex portion 33 closer to the tip portion in the axial direction and a former convex portion 34 closer to the shank portion 2 and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the intermediate convex portion 33. It is roughly divided into.

凸状部30より軸方向先端部側の部分で接続溝4の最も奥側の凸部420と最も奥側の凹部410を切削する場合には、図1、図2に示すように凸状部30の軸方向先端側に最も奥側の凸部420を切削する凹状部32が凸状部30の軸方向に連続して形成される。更にこの凹状部32の軸方向先端側に連続し、最も奥側の凹部410を切削する先端凸状部31が形成される。凹状部32と先端凸状部31の形状は問われないが、図面では凹状部32と先端凸状部31を後述の中間移行部35、または元側移行部36と同様に、外形線が軸方向先端側からシャンク部2側へかけ、凸状部30の径(回転軸10からの距離)が拡大する直線、もしくは曲線を描く形状に形成している。 When cutting the innermost convex portion 420 and the innermost concave portion 410 of the connection groove 4 at the portion on the tip side in the axial direction from the convex portion 30, the convex portion is as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. A concave portion 32 for cutting the innermost convex portion 420 is continuously formed on the axially leading end side of the 30 in the axial direction of the convex portion 30. Further, a tip convex portion 31 is formed which is continuous with the tip side of the concave portion 32 in the axial direction and cuts the innermost recess 410. The shapes of the concave portion 32 and the tip convex portion 31 are not limited, but in the drawing, the concave portion 32 and the tip convex portion 31 have an outer line as an axis as in the intermediate transition portion 35 or the original side transition portion 36 described later. It is formed in a shape that draws a straight line or a curved line in which the diameter (distance from the rotation axis 10) of the convex portion 30 expands from the tip end side in the direction to the shank portion 2 side.

凸状部30の中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34の少なくともいずれか一方の、凹部41に対応した少なくとも一部の区間の外形線は軸方向の回転軸10と平行である。中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34との間と、元側凸状部34とシャンク部2との間の少なくともいずれか一方の区間に、その区間より凸状部30の軸方向先端側に位置する部分の径以上の径を有する移行部(中間移行部35、元側移行部36)が形成される。 The outer line of at least one of the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 of the convex portion 30 and at least a part of the section corresponding to the concave portion 41 is parallel to the rotation axis 10 in the axial direction. In at least one section between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 and between the original convex portion 34 and the shank portion 2, the axial tip of the convex portion 30 from that section. A transition portion (intermediate transition portion 35, original side transition portion 36) having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the portion located on the side is formed.

図1〜図3、図5では中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34との間に、中間凸状部33の径以上の径を有する中間移行部35を形成している。また元側凸状部34とシャンク部2との間に、元側凸状部34の径以上の径を有する元側移行部36を形成している。中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34の少なくとも一部の外形線が回転軸10と平行であることは、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34の少なくとも一部の表面形状が円柱状であることでもある。図1、図2、図6では凸状部30の軸方向に区分された部分間、例えば中間凸状部33と中間移行部35との間、中間移行部35と元側凸状部34との間等に境界線を細線で示しているが、この境界線は明確に表れないこともある。 In FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5, an intermediate transition portion 35 having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the intermediate convex portion 33 is formed between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original side convex portion 34. Further, a former side transition portion 36 having a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the original side convex portion 34 is formed between the original side convex portion 34 and the shank portion 2. The fact that at least a part of the outlines of the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 are parallel to the rotation axis means that the surface shapes of at least a part of the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 are formed. It is also columnar. In FIGS. 1, 2 and 6, for the portions divided in the axial direction of the convex portion 30, for example, between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the intermediate transition portion 35, the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original side convex portion 34. The boundary line is shown as a thin line between the spaces, but this boundary line may not appear clearly.

接続溝4の凹部41と凸部42の、中心軸Oに垂直な方向への中心軸Oからの距離が被削材5の表面側へ向かって次第に大きくなることと、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34の少なくとも軸方向の一部の区間が円柱状であることから以下のことが言える。すなわち、図3−(a)、図5に示すように例えば中間凸状部33のシャンク部2寄りの部分を凸部42における後述の仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタの切削代7の表面に内接させながら、中間凸状部33の先端寄りの部分をその側の凹部41内のシャンク部2側を向いた面(上向き面)上の切削代7の表面に内接させることができる。このことは、中間凸状部33の先端寄りの部分とシャンク部2寄りの部分をそれぞれの側の凸部42の表面に沿った形状に形成し易いことを意味し、元側凸状部34にも同じことが言える。 The distance between the concave portion 41 and the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4 from the central axis O in the direction perpendicular to the central axis O gradually increases toward the surface side of the work material 5, and the intermediate convex portion 33 The following can be said from the fact that at least a part of the axial direction of the convex portion 34 on the original side is columnar. That is, as shown in FIGS. 3- (a) and 5, for example, the portion of the intermediate convex portion 33 near the shank portion 2 is inscribed in the surface of the cutting allowance 7 of the Christmas cutter for finishing processing described later in the convex portion 42. However, the portion of the intermediate convex portion 33 near the tip can be inscribed in the surface of the cutting allowance 7 on the surface (upward surface) of the recess 41 on that side facing the shank portion 2. This means that the portion closer to the tip of the intermediate convex portion 33 and the portion closer to the shank portion 2 can be easily formed into a shape along the surface of the convex portion 42 on each side, and the original side convex portion 34 The same can be said for.

仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタの切削代7は図3−(b)、図5に示すように被削材5を大荒加工用カッタ1と荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6が切削した後の接続溝4の表面を言い、この表面から図示しない仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタがその半径方向に一定の深さを切削するときの厚みを指す。 As shown in FIGS. 3- (b) and 5, the cutting allowance 7 of the Christmas cutter for finishing is the surface of the connection groove 4 after the work material 5 is cut by the cutter 1 for rough machining and the Christmas cutter 6 for rough machining. Refers to the thickness when a Christmas cutter for finishing (not shown) cuts a certain depth in the radial direction from this surface.

中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34は接続溝4の最も奥側の凹部410以外の凹部41を切削するが、図1、図5に示す例の場合、凹部41に対応した区間の外形線は回転軸10と平行であるから、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34は凹部41においては図5に破線で示すように荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6が切削する切削代8を残し、凹部41の回転軸10寄りの範囲を切削する。図5中、凹部41の区間においては実線と破線で囲まれた範囲が荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6が切削する切削代8になる。荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の切削代8は図5に示すように被削材5を大荒加工用カッタ1が切削した後の接続溝4の表面を言い、この表面から荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6がその半径方向に一定の深さを切削するときの厚みを指す。 The intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 cut the recess 41 other than the recess 410 on the innermost side of the connection groove 4, but in the case of the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the section corresponding to the recess 41 is formed. Since the outer line is parallel to the rotation axis 10, the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 have a cutting allowance 8 cut by the roughing Christmas cutter 6 in the concave portion 41 as shown by a broken line in FIG. The area of the recess 41 near the rotation shaft 10 is cut, leaving it. In the section of the recess 41 in FIG. 5, the range surrounded by the solid line and the broken line is the cutting allowance 8 cut by the roughing Christmas cutter 6. As shown in FIG. 5, the cutting allowance 8 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 refers to the surface of the connection groove 4 after the large roughing cutter 1 cuts the work material 5, and the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is formed from this surface. It refers to the thickness when cutting a certain depth in the radial direction.

中間移行部35は図1等に示すように刃部3の軸方向に中間凸状部33から元側凸状部34へかけて次第に径が拡大する形状(立体形状)に形成され、元側移行部36も元側凸状部34からシャンク部2側へかけて次第に径が拡大する形状(立体形状)に形成される。図1、図2では中間移行部35の外形線の少なくとも一部が元側凸状部34へかけて凸状部30の径が次第に拡大する直線を描き、表面が円錐台形状に形成されている。また元側移行部36の外形線の少なくとも一部がシャンク部2へかけて径が次第に拡大する曲線を描いているが、これらの外形線の形状は任意である。 As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the intermediate transition portion 35 is formed in a shape (three-dimensional shape) in which the diameter gradually increases from the intermediate convex portion 33 to the original convex portion 34 in the axial direction of the blade portion 3, and is formed on the original side. The transition portion 36 is also formed in a shape (three-dimensional shape) in which the diameter gradually increases from the original side convex portion 34 to the shank portion 2 side. In FIGS. 1 and 2, at least a part of the outline of the intermediate transition portion 35 draws a straight line in which the diameter of the convex portion 30 gradually expands toward the original convex portion 34, and the surface is formed in a truncated cone shape. There is. Further, at least a part of the outer line of the original side transition portion 36 draws a curve in which the diameter gradually expands toward the shank portion 2, but the shape of these outer lines is arbitrary.

但し、図1、図2に示す元側移行部36のように刃部3の先端部側からシャンク部2側へかけて径が次第に拡大する曲線を描く場合には、上記した元側凸状部34のシャンク部2寄りの部分と先端寄りの部分を切削代7の表面に内接させられることと併せ、元側移行部36の表面をその区間に対応する凸部42の表面に接近させることができる。このことから、中間移行部35と元側移行部36の外形線は共に曲線を描くことが合理的である。 However, when drawing a curve in which the diameter gradually increases from the tip end side of the blade portion 3 to the shank portion 2 side as in the original side transition portion 36 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the above-mentioned original side convex shape is formed. The portion of the portion 34 closer to the shank portion 2 and the portion closer to the tip end are inscribed in the surface of the cutting allowance 7, and the surface of the original side transition portion 36 is brought closer to the surface of the convex portion 42 corresponding to the section. be able to. From this, it is rational to draw a curve for both the outlines of the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36.

接続溝4の内、凸部42(形成のための被削材5)の大半、すなわち仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタが切削する切削代7を除いた部分は大荒加工用カッタ1の中間移行部35と元側移行部36と、形成された場合の凹状部32に切削される。このことから、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6は必ずしも凸部42を切削する必要がないため、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凸部42に対応した区間(凹状部)の表面の少なくとも一部には切れ刃が形成される必要がない。 Of the connection grooves 4, most of the convex portion 42 (work material 5 for forming), that is, the portion excluding the cutting allowance 7 cut by the Christmas cutter for finishing, is the intermediate transition portion 35 of the cutter 1 for rough machining. It is cut into the original side transition portion 36 and the concave portion 32 when formed. For this reason, since the roughing Christmas cutter 6 does not necessarily have to cut the convex portion 42, it is cut off at least a part of the surface of the section (concave portion) corresponding to the convex portion 42 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6. The blade does not need to be formed.

中間移行部35と元側移行部36の外形線が描く曲線は大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3が切削すべき接続溝4の範囲に応じ、図5に実線で示すように凸部42の表面に沿った形状、あるいは凸部42の表面から仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタの切削代7分、中心軸O側へ寄った位置を通る曲線を描くことが適切である。大荒加工用カッタ1の刃部3は図7に示すように軸方向の全長に切れ刃3aを有するため、接続溝4の深さ方向の全長に亘り、図5中、実線で示す範囲を切削する。後述の荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61が図5中、破線で示す範囲を切削する。 The curves drawn by the outlines of the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36 correspond to the range of the connection groove 4 to be cut by the blade portion 3 of the rough cutting cutter 1, and the convex portion 42 as shown by the solid line in FIG. It is appropriate to draw a curve along the surface or from the surface of the convex portion 42 to a cutting allowance of 7 minutes for the finishing Christmas cutter and a position closer to the central axis O side. As shown in FIG. 7, the blade portion 3 of the rough machining cutter 1 has a cutting edge 3a in the entire length in the axial direction, so that the range shown by the solid line in FIG. 5 is cut over the entire length in the depth direction of the connection groove 4. To do. The blade portion 61 of the Christmas cutter 6 for roughing, which will be described later, cuts the range indicated by the broken line in FIG.

この関係で、大荒加工用カッタ1の凸状部30の範囲では接続溝4の凸部42を主に中間移行部35と元側移行部36が切削し、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61は凸状部30の範囲の凸部42を切削せず、凹部41を切削する。このため、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の切れ刃は図5に示すように凹部41に対応した区間である中間部凸状部64とシャンク部側凸状部66の表面に形成され、凸部42に対応した区間である中間部凹状部65とシャンク部側凹状部67の表面の少なくとも一部には形成されない。 In this relationship, in the range of the convex portion 30 of the large roughing cutter 1, the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4 is mainly cut by the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original side transition portion 36, and the blade portion of the rough processing Christmas cutter 6 is cut. 61 does not cut the convex portion 42 in the range of the convex portion 30, but cuts the concave portion 41. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the cutting edge of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is formed on the surfaces of the intermediate portion convex portion 64 and the shank portion side convex portion 66, which are sections corresponding to the recess 41, and the convex portion 42. It is not formed on at least a part of the surface of the intermediate portion concave portion 65 and the shank portion side concave portion 67, which are the sections corresponding to the above.

前記のように大荒加工用カッタ1の凸状部30の軸方向先端側に凹状部32と先端凸状部31が形成された場合、凹状部32は接続溝4の最も奥側の凸部420を切削し、先端凸状部31が最も奥側の凹部410を切削する。凹状部32は中間移行部35、元側移行部36と同じく接続溝4の凸部42(形成のための被削材5)を切削する。但し、先端凸状部31は中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34と同じく、最も奥側の凹部410の回転軸10寄りの範囲を荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6が切削する切削代8を残して切削する。 When the concave portion 32 and the tip convex portion 31 are formed on the axial tip side of the convex portion 30 of the rough cutting cutter 1 as described above, the concave portion 32 is the innermost convex portion 420 of the connection groove 4. Is cut, and the concave portion 410 on the innermost side is cut by the convex tip portion 31. The concave portion 32 cuts the convex portion 42 (work material 5 for formation) of the connection groove 4 in the same manner as the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original transition portion 36. However, like the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original convex portion 34, the tip convex portion 31 has a cutting allowance 8 in which the roughing Christmas cutter 6 cuts the range closer to the rotation axis 10 of the innermost concave portion 410. Leave and cut.

大荒加工用カッタ1の凸状部30の軸方向先端側に対応した区間においては、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61の中間部凸状部64の軸方向先端側に連続して先端側凹状部63が形成され、先端側凹状部63の軸方向先端側に連続して先端側凸状部62が形成される。先端側凸状部62は最も奥側の凹部410を切削するが、前記のように先端側凹状部63は最も奥側の凸部420を切削しないため、切れ刃は先端側凸状部62の表面に形成され、先端側凹状部63の表面の少なくとも一部には形成されない。 In the section corresponding to the axial tip side of the convex portion 30 of the rough machining cutter 1, the tip side is continuous with the axial tip side of the intermediate convex portion 64 of the blade portion 61 of the rough machining Christmas cutter 6. The concave portion 63 is formed, and the tip side convex portion 62 is formed continuously on the tip side in the axial direction of the tip side concave portion 63. The tip-side convex portion 62 cuts the innermost concave portion 410, but the tip-side concave portion 63 does not cut the innermost convex portion 420 as described above, so that the cutting edge is the tip-side convex portion 62. It is formed on the surface and is not formed on at least a part of the surface of the distal concave portion 63.

荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の先端側凸状部62は最も奥側の凹部410において大荒加工用カッタ1の先端凸状部31が切削した後に残された荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の切削代8の分を切削する。 The convex portion 62 on the tip side of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is the cutting allowance 8 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 left after the tip convex portion 31 of the large roughing cutter 1 is cut in the innermost concave portion 410. Cut the minute.

大荒加工用カッタ1の先端凸状部31の形状(外形線)は中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34と同様の円柱形状に形成されることもあるが、図面では先端凸状部31による最も奥側の凹部410の切削時にシャンク部2側に隣接する凹状部32の最も径の小さい部分の折損の可能性が低下するよう、シャンク部2側から先端へかけて径が小さくなる円錐台形状、またはそれに類似した回転体形状に形成している。先端凸状部31が円錐台形状等に形成されることで、円柱形状の場合より凹部41における被削材5の切削範囲が抑えられ、回転軸10から先端凸状部31の表面までの距離が小さくなるため、凹状部32の折損の可能性が低下する。 The shape (outer line) of the tip convex portion 31 of the rough cutting cutter 1 may be formed into a cylindrical shape similar to the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original side convex portion 34, but in the drawing, the tip convex portion is formed. The diameter decreases from the shank portion 2 side to the tip so that the possibility of breaking the smallest diameter portion of the concave portion 32 adjacent to the shank portion 2 side when cutting the innermost concave portion 410 by 31 is reduced. It is formed in a truncated cone shape or a rotating body shape similar to it. Since the tip convex portion 31 is formed in a truncated cone shape or the like, the cutting range of the work material 5 in the concave portion 41 is suppressed as compared with the case of the cylindrical shape, and the distance from the rotating shaft 10 to the surface of the tip convex portion 31. Is reduced, so that the possibility of the concave portion 32 being broken is reduced.

図3−(a)は図1に示す、先端凸状部31と凹状部32が形成された大荒加工用カッタ1を用いて接続溝4の全凹部41と全凸部42を切削した様子を示す。大荒加工用カッタ1の回転軸10は接続溝4の中心軸Oに一致した状態で被削材5を切削し、接続溝4の一部を形成する。 FIG. 3- (a) shows a state in which the all-concave portion 41 and the all-convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4 are cut by using the large roughing cutter 1 in which the tip convex portion 31 and the concave portion 32 are formed, as shown in FIG. Shown. The work material 5 is cut in a state where the rotating shaft 10 of the rough machining cutter 1 coincides with the central axis O of the connecting groove 4, and a part of the connecting groove 4 is formed.

図3−(a)に示すように図1に示す大荒加工用カッタ1が被削材5を切削し終えたとき、接続溝4の凸部42の区間では、仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタが切削する切削代7を残し、凹状部32と中間移行部35と元側移行部36が凸部42を形成するための被削材5を切削する。凸部42の区間における仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタが切削する切削代7は図5に示すように中心軸Oを中心とした接続溝4の径方向には実線(大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線)と二点鎖線(仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタの外形線)の差部分になる。 As shown in FIG. 3- (a), when the rough machining cutter 1 shown in FIG. 1 finishes cutting the work material 5, the Christmas cutter for finishing machining cuts in the section of the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4. The work material 5 for forming the convex portion 42 is cut by the concave portion 32, the intermediate transition portion 35, and the original transition portion 36, leaving the cutting allowance 7. As shown in FIG. 5, the cutting allowance 7 cut by the Christmas cutter for finishing in the section of the convex portion 42 is a solid line in the radial direction of the connecting groove 4 centered on the central axis O (outline line of the cutter 1 for rough machining). It is the difference between the two-dot chain line (the outline of the Christmas cutter for finishing).

接続溝4の凹部41の区間では、大荒加工用カッタ1は図3−(b)に示すように荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6が切削する切削代8を残し、先端凸状部31と中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34が凹部41を形成するための被削材5を切削する。図3−(b)中では二点鎖線が切削済みの大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線を、実線が切削中、または切削後の荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の外形線を示し、破線が仕上げ加工工程後の凹部41と凸部42の表面の位置を示す。凹部41の区間における荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6が切削する切削代8は図5では接続溝4の径方向に実線と破線の差部分になる。 In the section of the recess 41 of the connection groove 4, the large roughing cutter 1 leaves a cutting allowance 8 to be cut by the roughing Christmas cutter 6 as shown in FIG. 3- (b), and has a convex tip portion 31 and an intermediate convex shape. The portion 33 and the original convex portion 34 cut the work material 5 for forming the concave portion 41. In FIG. 3- (b), the two-dot chain line shows the outline of the large roughing cutter 1 that has already been cut, the solid line shows the outline of the Christmas cutter 6 for roughing during or after cutting, and the broken line shows the finishing process. The positions of the surfaces of the concave portion 41 and the convex portion 42 after the step are shown. The cutting allowance 8 cut by the roughing Christmas cutter 6 in the section of the recess 41 is the difference between the solid line and the broken line in the radial direction of the connection groove 4 in FIG.

図3−(b)の詳細を図5の左側に示すが、大荒加工用カッタ1は接続溝4の凸部42の位置ではAB、CD、EFの各実線で示す区間を切削し、凹部41の区間ではBC、DE、FGの各実線で示す区間を切削する。図5中、実線が大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線を示す。二点鎖線が仕上げ加工工程後の凹部41と凸部42の表面の位置を示し、仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタが切削する範囲を示す。凸部42の区間における大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線は中間移行部35と元側移行部36の外形線を指す。 The details of FIG. 3- (b) are shown on the left side of FIG. 5. The rough cutting cutter 1 cuts the sections shown by the solid lines AB, CD, and EF at the position of the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4, and the concave portion 41. In the section of, the section indicated by each solid line of BC, DE, and FG is cut. In FIG. 5, the solid line shows the outline of the cutter 1 for rough machining. The alternate long and short dash line indicates the positions of the surfaces of the concave portion 41 and the convex portion 42 after the finishing process, and indicates the range to be cut by the finishing Christmas cutter. The outline of the rough cutting cutter 1 in the section of the convex portion 42 refers to the outline of the intermediate transition portion 35 and the original side transition portion 36.

図5に示すように凸部42の区間における大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線は仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタの切削代7を残した線上を通り、凸部42の表面に沿った曲線を描く。凹部41における大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線は荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6が切削する切削代8を残した線上を通り、回転軸10に平行な直線を描く。この例では凸部42の区間における大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線は凹部41における外形線に連続し、曲線の曲率も凹部41における外形線から連続的に変化している。 As shown in FIG. 5, the outline of the rough cutting cutter 1 in the section of the convex portion 42 passes on the line where the cutting allowance 7 of the finishing processing Christmas cutter is left, and draws a curve along the surface of the convex portion 42. The outer line of the large roughing cutter 1 in the recess 41 passes on the line where the roughing Christmas cutter 6 leaves the cutting allowance 8 to be cut, and draws a straight line parallel to the rotation axis 10. In this example, the outer line of the large roughing cutter 1 in the section of the convex portion 42 is continuous with the outer line of the concave portion 41, and the curvature of the curve is also continuously changed from the outer line of the concave portion 41.

大荒加工用カッタ1による被削材5の切削後、図3−(b)に示すように接続溝4の凹部41の区間では、仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタが切削する切削代7を残し、図5に示す荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の各凸状部(62、64、66)が凹部41を形成するための被削材5を切削する。凹部41の区間における仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタが切削する切削代7は接続溝4の径方向に破線と二点鎖線の差部分になる。 After cutting the work material 5 with the rough cutting cutter 1, in the section of the recess 41 of the connection groove 4 as shown in FIG. 3- (b), the cutting allowance 7 cut by the finishing Christmas cutter is left, and FIG. 5 Each convex portion (62, 64, 66) of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 shown in the above cuts a work material 5 for forming a concave portion 41. The cutting allowance 7 cut by the finishing Christmas cutter in the section of the recess 41 is the difference between the broken line and the alternate long and short dash line in the radial direction of the connecting groove 4.

荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の刃部61にも図3−(b)に実線で示し、図5に破線で示すように軸方向に、接続溝4の複数の凹部41と複数の凸部42に対応し、軸方向の回転軸60から、回転軸60に垂直な方向に最も遠い位置までの距離が深さ方向の奥側から表面側へかけて次第に大きくなる凸状部(62、64、66)と凹状部(63、65、67)が交互に形成される。 The blade portion 61 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is also shown by a solid line in FIG. 3- (b), and as shown by a broken line in FIG. 5, a plurality of concave portions 41 and a plurality of convex portions 42 of the connection groove 4 are formed in the axial direction. Correspondingly, the convex portion (62, 64, 66) in which the distance from the rotation axis 60 in the axial direction to the position farthest in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis 60 gradually increases from the back side to the surface side in the depth direction. ) And concave portions (63, 65, 67) are alternately formed.

荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凸状部は図1に示す大荒加工用カッタ1の凸状部30に対応し、軸方向先端側からシャンク部2側へかけ、図5中、区間FGに位置する(先端凸状部31に対応する)先端側凸状部62、区間DEに位置する(中間凸状部33に対応する)中間部凸状部64、区間BCに位置する(元側凸状部34に対応する)シャンク部側凸状部66に区分される。 The convex portion of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 corresponds to the convex portion 30 of the large roughing cutter 1 shown in FIG. 1, extending from the axial tip side to the shank portion 2 side, and is located in the section FG in FIG. Tip side convex portion 62 (corresponding to tip convex portion 31), intermediate portion convex portion 64 located in section DE (corresponding to intermediate convex portion 33), located in section BC (former side convex portion) It is divided into a shank portion side convex portion 66 (corresponding to 34).

荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部は同様に図5中、区間EFに位置する(凹状部32に対応する)先端側凹状部63、区間CDに位置する(中間移行部35に対応する)中間部凹状部65、区間ABに位置する(元側移行部36に対応する)シャンク部側凹状部67に区分される。 Similarly, in FIG. 5, the concave portion of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is located in the section EF (corresponding to the concave portion 32), the tip side concave portion 63, and the intermediate portion located in the section CD (corresponding to the intermediate transition portion 35). The portion is divided into a concave portion 65 and a shank portion side concave portion 67 (corresponding to the original side transition portion 36) located in the section AB.

荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の外形線は図5中、破線で示す位置を通り、接続溝4の凸部42の位置のAB、CD、EFの区間(シャンク部側凹状部67、中間部凹状部65、先端側凹状部63)では外形線が大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線より回転軸60(10)寄りに位置するため、AB、CD、EFの区間では荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6は被削材5を切削しない。 The outline of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 passes through the position indicated by the broken line in FIG. 5, and is a section of AB, CD, and EF (concave portion 67 on the shank portion side, concave portion in the intermediate portion) at the position of the convex portion 42 of the connection groove 4. 65, the outer line of the concave portion 63 on the tip side is located closer to the rotation axis 60 (10) than the outer line of the rough machining cutter 1, so that the rough machining Christmas cutter 6 is machined in the sections AB, CD, and EF. Do not cut material 5.

これに対し、接続溝4の凹部41の位置のBC、DE、FGの区間(シャンク部側凸状部66、中間部凸状部64、先端側凸状部62)では外形線が大荒加工用カッタ1の外形線より回転軸60(10)の反対側(被削材5側)に位置するため、BC、DE、FGの区間では荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6は被削材5を凹部41に沿った形状に、仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタによる切削代7を残して切削する。 On the other hand, in the BC, DE, and FG sections (the convex portion 66 on the shank portion side, the convex portion 64 on the intermediate portion, and the convex portion 62 on the tip side) at the position of the concave portion 41 of the connection groove 4, the outer line is for rough cutting. Since it is located on the opposite side (work material 5 side) of the rotation axis 60 (10) from the outline of the cutter 1, the roughing Christmas cutter 6 has the work material 5 in the recess 41 in the section of BC, DE, and FG. The shape is cut along the shape, leaving a cutting allowance of 7 by the Christmas cutter for finishing.

この関係で、前記のように凸状部62、64、66の表面に凹部41(形成のための被削材5)を切削する切れ刃が形成される。切れ刃は前記のように刃部3の軸方向先端からシャンク部2へかけ、軸方向に沿って連続的に形成される切屑排出溝を構成するすくい面の半径方向外周側の縁に凸の稜線等として形成される。 In this relationship, a cutting edge for cutting the concave portion 41 (work material 5 for formation) is formed on the surface of the convex portions 62, 64, 66 as described above. As described above, the cutting edge extends from the axial tip of the blade portion 3 to the shank portion 2, and is convex on the radial outer peripheral edge of the rake face forming the chip discharge groove continuously formed along the axial direction. It is formed as a ridge line or the like.

凸部42(形成のための被削材5)の中心軸O方向の多くの範囲は大荒加工用カッタ1の凹状部32、中間移行部35、元側移行部36が仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタによる切削代7を残して切削するため、荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部63、65、67の表面には切れ刃が形成される必要がない。 Most of the range of the convex portion 42 (work material 5 for formation) in the central axis O direction is the concave portion 32 of the rough cutting cutter 1, the intermediate transition portion 35, and the original transition portion 36 due to the Christmas cutter for finishing. Since cutting is performed leaving the cutting allowance 7, it is not necessary to form a cutting edge on the surfaces of the concave portions 63, 65, and 67 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6.

図5に示すように荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6の凹状部63、65、67の表面までの回転軸60からの(回転軸60に垂直な方向の)距離は大荒加工工程で切削される接続溝4の凸部42の表面までの、回転軸60からの距離より小さいため、凹状部63、65、67の表面には切れ刃は全く形成されないか、一部にしか形成されない。 As shown in FIG. 5, the distance (in the direction perpendicular to the rotating shaft 60) from the rotating shaft 60 to the surfaces of the concave portions 63, 65, 67 of the roughing Christmas cutter 6 is the connection groove cut in the roughing process. Since the distance to the surface of the convex portion 42 of 4 is smaller than the distance from the rotation shaft 60, no cutting edge is formed or only a part of the surface of the concave portions 63, 65, 67 is formed.

「切れ刃が形成されない」とは、上記した切屑排出溝を構成するすくい面の半径方向外周側の縁に凸の稜線等が形成されないようなことを言い、例えば切れ刃になるべき凸の稜線が面取りされるようなことを言う。 "The cutting edge is not formed" means that a convex ridge line or the like is not formed on the radial outer peripheral edge of the rake face forming the chip discharge groove, for example, a convex ridge line to be a cutting edge. Says something that is chamfered.

荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6による被削材5の切削後、図3−(c)に示すように(a)、(b)に破線で示す外形線を有する、仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタが接続溝4の中心軸O方向の全長に亘り、被削材5を切削する。仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタは大荒加工用カッタ1と荒加工用クリスマスカッタ6が切削した後の上記した凸部42と凹部41における(a)、(b)中、破線で示す仕上げ加工用クリスマスカッタの切削代7を切削し、(c)に示す仕上げ加工工程後の接続溝4を形成する。 After cutting the work material 5 with the roughing Christmas cutter 6, the finishing Christmas cutter having the outlines shown by the broken lines in (a) and (b) as shown in FIGS. 3-(c) is connected to the connecting groove 4. The work material 5 is cut over the entire length in the O direction of the central axis of. The Christmas cutter for finishing is the Christmas cutter for finishing shown by the broken lines in (a) and (b) in the above-mentioned convex portion 42 and concave portion 41 after the large roughing cutter 1 and the roughing Christmas cutter 6 have been cut. The cutting allowance 7 is cut to form the connecting groove 4 after the finishing process shown in (c).

図6−(a)〜(c)は図1〜図3、図5に示す大荒加工用カッタ1とは異なる刃部3の形成例を示す。(a)は図1の例における中間凸状部33のシャンク部2寄りの部分から元側移行部36までの区間に、中間凸状部33の径以上の径を有し、シャンク部2側へかけて径が次第に拡大する形状の元側凸状部34を形成し、中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34との間に図1の例における明確な中間移行部35を形成しない場合の例を示す。元側凸状部34の外形線は回転軸10に対して10°程度、傾斜している。 6- (a) to 6 (c) show an example of forming the blade portion 3 different from the rough machining cutter 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5. (A) has a diameter equal to or larger than the diameter of the intermediate convex portion 33 in the section from the portion of the intermediate convex portion 33 near the shank portion 2 to the original side transition portion 36 in the example of FIG. 1, and is on the shank portion 2 side. The original side convex portion 34 having a shape whose diameter gradually expands toward the center is formed, and the clear intermediate transition portion 35 in the example of FIG. 1 is not formed between the intermediate convex portion 33 and the original side convex portion 34. An example of the case is shown. The outer line of the convex portion 34 on the original side is inclined by about 10 ° with respect to the rotation axis 10.

図6−(b)は図1の例における中間移行部35から元側移行部36までの区間を図1の例の状態にしたまま、中間凸状部33の軸方向先端側の部分から中間移行部35までの区間をシャンク部2側へかけて径が次第に拡大する形状に形成した場合の例を示す。(c)は(b)の中間凸状部33の軸方向先端側の部分から元側凸状部34の軸方向中間部までの区間を連続的にシャンク部2側へかけて径が次第に拡大する形状に形成した場合の例を示す。(b)、(c)の例でも元側凸状部34の外形線は回転軸10に対して10°程度、傾斜している。(c)に示す例は図1に示す例における中間移行部35を中間凸状部33が取り込んだ形に相当する。 In FIG. 6- (b), the section from the intermediate transition portion 35 to the original transition portion 36 in the example of FIG. 1 remains in the state of the example of FIG. An example is shown in the case where the section up to the transition portion 35 is formed into a shape in which the diameter gradually increases toward the shank portion 2 side. In (c), the diameter of the intermediate convex portion 33 of (b) gradually increases from the axial tip side portion to the axial intermediate portion of the original convex portion 34 continuously toward the shank portion 2. An example of the case where the shape is formed is shown. In the examples of (b) and (c) as well, the outer line of the original convex portion 34 is inclined by about 10 ° with respect to the rotation axis 10. The example shown in (c) corresponds to the shape in which the intermediate convex portion 33 takes in the intermediate transition portion 35 in the example shown in FIG.

ここで、従来の大荒加工用クリスマスカッタとして特許文献2の大荒加工用クリスマスカッタと本願発明の大荒加工用カッタ1を用いて同一の被削材を同等の切削条件下で切削したときの、刃部が被削材から受ける抵抗(切削抵抗)の程度を比較する。切削条件は以下の表1の通りである。従来大荒は特許文献2の大荒加工用クリスマスカッタであり、新型大荒1、2が本願発明の大荒加工用カッタ1である。ここでは刃数が2枚の大荒加工用カッタ1と大荒加工用クリスマスカッタを使用したが、刃数は任意である。被削材5にはSNCM439(ニッケルクロムモリブデン鋼)を用いた。

Figure 0006888626
Here, as a conventional Christmas cutter for rough machining, a blade when the same work material is cut under the same cutting conditions using the Christmas cutter for rough machining of Patent Document 2 and the cutter 1 for rough machining of the present invention. Compare the degree of resistance (cutting resistance) that the part receives from the work material. The cutting conditions are as shown in Table 1 below. Conventional rough is a Christmas cutter for rough machining of Patent Document 2, and new rough roughs 1 and 2 are cutters 1 for rough machining of the present invention. Here, a cutter 1 for rough machining and a Christmas cutter for rough machining with two blades were used, but the number of blades is arbitrary. SNCM439 (nickel chrome molybdenum steel) was used as the work material 5.
Figure 0006888626

従来大荒と新型大荒1、2とでは図4−(a)と図3−(a)との対比から分かるように最小径が同一寸法でも、外形線(形態)の相違から最大径が相違しているため、厳密には完全に同一の条件下での比較は難しい。しかしながら、新型大荒1、2の回転数nやテーブル送り(速度)を従来大荒より過酷にしたときの抵抗値を比較することで、新型大荒1、2の抵抗(負担)の低さが浮き彫りになると考えられる。表1中の切削速度V(m/min)は外径D(mm)と回転数n(/min)からn・D・π/1000として求められる。刃部が被削材から受ける抵抗の大きさを表2に示す。

Figure 0006888626


As can be seen from the comparison between Fig. 4- (a) and Fig. 3- (a), the maximum diameter differs between the conventional large rough and the new large rough 1 and 2 due to the difference in the outline (form) even if the minimum diameter is the same. Therefore, it is difficult to make a comparison under exactly the same conditions. However, by comparing the rotation speed n of the new rough 1 and 2 and the resistance value when the table feed (speed) is made harsher than the conventional rough, the low resistance (burden) of the new rough 1 and 2 becomes clear. It is considered to be. The cutting speed V (m / min) in Table 1 is obtained as n ・ D ・ π / 1000 from the outer diameter D (mm) and the rotation speed n (/ min). Table 2 shows the magnitude of the resistance that the blade receives from the work material.
Figure 0006888626


表2中、「最大」、「最小」はX方向、Y方向、Z方向(回転軸方向)の各抵抗値の最大値と最小値であり、単位はN(ニュートン)である。「振幅」は「最大」と「最小」の絶対値の合計を示し、この値が大きい程、刃部3にビビリ振動が発生する可能性が高まる。「合力」の「最大」と「最小」はX方向とY方向とZ方向の合計値(X+Y+Z)が最大となる箇所と最小となる箇所の値を示す。 In Table 2, "maximum" and "minimum" are the maximum and minimum values of the resistance values in the X, Y, and Z directions (rotational axis directions), and the unit is N (Newton). "Amplitude" indicates the sum of the absolute values of "maximum" and "minimum", and the larger this value, the higher the possibility that chatter vibration will occur in the blade portion 3. The "maximum" and "minimum" of the "couple force" indicate the values of the points where the total value (X + Y + Z) in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction is the maximum and the minimum.

従来大荒と新型大荒1を対比すると、新型大荒1では表1のように従来大荒より回転数nとテーブル送り(速度)をそれぞれ210→300、12→15に増していながらも、表2のようにX方向の抵抗値は8229→6993(85%)、Y方向の抵抗値は9157→7197(78.6%)と共に低下している。合力も7335→6395(87.2%)と低下している。Z方向の抵抗値は832→1059(127.3%)と増加しているものの、回転軸方向(材軸方向)であるため、ビビリ振動への影響は小さいと言える。 Comparing the conventional rough and the new rough 1, the new rough 1 has increased the number of revolutions n and the table feed (speed) from the conventional rough to 210 → 300 and 12 → 15, respectively, as shown in Table 1, but as shown in Table 2. The resistance value in the X direction decreases from 8229 to 6993 (85%), and the resistance value in the Y direction decreases from 9157 to 7197 (78.6%). The resultant force also decreased from 7335 to 6395 (87.2%). Although the resistance value in the Z direction increases from 832 to 1059 (127.3%), it can be said that the influence on chatter vibration is small because it is in the rotation axis direction (material axis direction).

同様に従来大荒と新型大荒2を対比すると、新型大荒2では表1のように従来大荒より回転数nとテーブル送り(速度)をそれぞれ210→300、12→17に増していながらも、表2のようにX方向の抵抗値は8229→7625(92.7%)、Y方向の抵抗値は9157→8039(87.8%)と共に低下している。合力も7335→6880(93.8%)と低下している。Z方向の抵抗値は832→1205(144.8%)と増加しているものの、回転軸方向(材軸方向)であるため、ビビリ振動への影響は小さい。 Similarly, when comparing the conventional rough and the new rough 2, the new rough 2 has increased the number of revolutions n and the table feed (speed) from the conventional rough to 210 → 300 and 12 → 17, respectively, as shown in Table 1, but Table 2 As shown above, the resistance value in the X direction decreases from 8229 to 7625 (92.7%), and the resistance value in the Y direction decreases from 9157 to 8039 (87.8%). The resultant force also decreased from 7335 to 6880 (93.8%). Although the resistance value in the Z direction increases from 832 to 1205 (144.8%), the effect on chatter vibration is small because it is in the rotation axis direction (material axis direction).

表1、表2の結果から、本願発明の大荒加工用カッタ1を用いて特許文献2の大荒加工用クリスマスカッタと同一の被削材を同等の切削条件下で切削したときに、回転数nとテーブル送りを増しても、ビビリ振動への影響のあるX方向とY方向の切削時の抵抗値が低下し、ビビリ振動が発生する可能性が、図4−(a)に示す特許文献2の大荒加工用クリスマスカッタより低下することが分かる。 From the results of Tables 1 and 2, when the same work material as the Christmas cutter for rough machining of Patent Document 2 was cut using the cutter 1 for rough machining of the present invention under the same cutting conditions, the number of rotations n Even if the table feed is increased, the resistance value at the time of cutting in the X direction and the Y direction, which has an influence on the chatter vibration, decreases, and the chatter vibration may occur. It can be seen that it is lower than the Christmas cutter for rough processing.

この利点は、刃部3が回転軸10と平行な中間凸状部33と元側凸状部34を有し、図4−(a)に示す従来の大荒加工用クリスマスカッタのような凹凸のある立面形状をしないことで、最大径が抑えられる結果として得られると言える。またビビリ振動の低減効果から、被削材に対する本願発明の大荒加工用カッタ1による切削加工効率(能率)が、従来の大荒加工用クリスマスカッタによる切削加工効率より向上することも言える。 This advantage is that the blade portion 3 has an intermediate convex portion 33 parallel to the rotation shaft 10 and a former convex portion 34, and has unevenness like the conventional Christmas cutter for rough machining shown in FIG. 4- (a). It can be said that the maximum diameter can be suppressed by not forming a certain elevation shape. Further, from the effect of reducing chatter vibration, it can be said that the cutting efficiency (efficiency) of the work material by the large roughing cutter 1 of the present invention is higher than that of the conventional Christmas cutter for large roughing.
