Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本願発明は、エンドミル本体先端部に回転軌跡が略半球状形状を形成する2枚以上のボール刃を有するボールエンドミルの改良に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ボールエンドミルは、使用用途が多彩で、例えば、金型の三次元加工等に用いられ、切削に関与する切れ刃部位も送り方向も多岐に渡ることから、工具先端、即ち、エンドミル中心まで切れ刃が必要とされる。エンドミル中心まで切れ刃を設けるために、相対するボール刃の逃げ面同士で形成されるチゼルエッジを設けたものがある。基本的にエンドミル中心部は切削速度が得られず、切削性が劣る部位であると共に、チゼルエッジにより、非常に大きな負のすくい角を有し、切り屑排出性が劣り、切削性が一層劣化する。ここで、切り屑排出性を向上させるために、相対するボール刃を直接エンドミル中心で繋ぐ、所謂、中心合わせタイプのものがあるが、前述の通り、エンドミル中心部は切削速度が得られず、切削性が劣る部位であるため、切り屑排出性に優れても、エンドミル中心部における強度面が不十分であり、現実的には、強度面に優れるチゼルエッジを設けたものが主流となっている。その中で、切り屑排出性を改善したものに特開2001−334405号公報に記載されるボールエンドミルがある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記の特開2001−334405号公報に記載されるボールエンドミルにおいても、相対するボール刃の逃げ面同士で形成されるチゼルエッジを有するため、チゼルエッジ部における被削材とのクリアランスが不十分であり、切り屑は排出性に対し、十分に改善されておらず、チゼルエッジによって生成された切り屑は排出性が悪く、切り屑の噛み込みや溶着を生じ易く、工具寿命、加工精度に課題があった。
【0004】
【本発明の目的】
本発明は、以上のような背景をもとになされたものであり、強度と切り屑排出性を含む切削性を兼ね備えることにより、長寿命で、加工精度に優れるボールエンドミルを提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本願発明は、上記課題を解決するためになされたものであり、ボールエンドミルにおいて、該エンドミルの中心部に該ボール刃と連続して該ボール刃のすくい面同士で形成された中心刃を有し、該ボール刃の逃げ面と該中心刃の逃げ面の境界に段差を有し、該ボール刃の逃げ角が該中心刃の逃げ角より小さいことを特徴とするボールエンドミルである。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本願発明の中心刃は、ボール刃のすくい面がエンドミル底面視でエンドミル軸心を超えて伸延させボール刃のすくい面同士で形成したことから、中心刃の形状が逃げ面同士で形成されるチゼルエッジ様となり、中心刃の強度が得られると共に、チゼルエッジを有するものよりも、中心部における被削材とのクリアランスも十分に得ることができ、切り屑の噛み込みや溶着を抑制でき、切り屑の噛み込みや溶着が抑制できる。また、ボール刃のすくい面がRギャッシュ加工により形成されており、ボール刃のすくい面が工具中心を超えて存在することになるから、中心刃の切り屑スペースが十分であると共に、中心刃に対して180°オープンスペースとなり、且つ、中心刃によって生成された切り屑はすくい面を介して直接排出でき、切り屑の流れがスムーズになり、切削性が向上し、一層切り屑の噛み込みや溶着の抑制に寄与する。更に、ボール刃は切削速度が得られ、回転方向に負荷が掛かることからボール刃の逃げ面と中心刃の逃げ面の境界に段差を有し、ボール刃の逃げ角が中心刃の逃げ角より小さくすることにより、ボール刃における切削性を維持しつつ、強度を得ることができる。中心刃は、対向するボール刃のすくい面同士で形成させることにより、中心刃における逃げ角が大きくなりすぎ、強度面が懸念されるが、中心刃の工具軸方向すくい角を大きな負のすくい角にすることで解決できるから、中心刃の軸方向断面における刃物角は60°〜120°に設定すれば良く、ボールエンドミルの中心部の切削性が確実に得られ、強度面においても優れる。中心刃の刃物角を60°〜120°としたのは、60°未満では強度面で問題が生じる場合があり、120°を超えると、すくい角が負角で60°を超えることになり、切削性が劣り、切り屑の排出スペースも狭くなることからであり、好ましくは75°〜105°が望ましい。中心刃の長さはエンドミルのボール直径の5%〜30%としても良く、この範囲内であればボールエンドミルの中心部の切削性が確実に得られ、強度面においても優れる。中心刃の長さがボール直径の5%未満であると、中心刃部分の切り屑排出性が劣ると共に強度面が懸念される。また、ボール直径の30%を越えると、形状面からボール刃より切削性が劣る中心刃が長くなり過ぎ、切削性に問題が生じる場合があるからであり、好ましくは、10%〜20%が望ましい。ボール刃については、ボール刃の逃げ角が中心刃の逃げ角より小さくしたことから、切れ刃強度が得られるため、ボール刃の法線方向のすくい角をエンドミル中心から外周方向に漸次正側に大きくすることができ、ボール刃における切削性や切り屑の排出性を向上することができる。また、ボール刃は中心刃との繋ぎ付近から外周方向に刃径が大きくなることから、ボール刃の逃げ角を中心刃との繋ぎ付近から外周方向に、被削材とのクリアランスが保つことができる範囲で漸次小さくすることができ、強度が一層向上する。以上のように本発明では、中心刃、ボール刃共に、強度と切り屑排出性を含む切削性を兼ね備えることになり、寿命や加工精度が向上することができた。なお、加工精度と中心刃とボール刃からなるボール部全体のアール精度とは密接な関係があることは言うまでもなく、アール精度は±0.02mm、好ましくは±0.01mm以下にすることが望ましい。また、エンドミル材料として超硬合金やサーメット等の硬質合金の使用、コーティングとしてTiAlN等の硬質皮膜やCr系の潤滑皮膜を施してもよい。以下、実施例に基づき本発明を説明する。

[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to an improvement in a ball end mill having two or more ball blades whose rotation trajectory forms a substantially hemispherical shape at the end of the end mill main body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Ball end mills are used in a variety of applications, for example, used for three-dimensional machining of dies, and the cutting edge portion involved in cutting and the feed direction are also diverse, so the cutting edge to the tool tip, that is, the center of the end mill Is required. In order to provide the cutting edge to the center of the end mill, there is a type in which a chisel edge formed by flank faces of opposing ball blades is provided. Basically, the center of the end mill is a place where the cutting speed cannot be obtained and the cutting performance is poor.In addition, the chisel edge has a very large negative rake angle, the chip discharge performance is poor, and the cutting performance is further deteriorated. . Here, in order to improve the chip discharge property, there is a so-called centering type in which the opposing ball blades are directly connected at the center of the end mill, but as described above, the cutting speed is not obtained in the center of the end mill, Due to the poor machinability, even if it excels in chip evacuation, the strength surface at the center of the end mill is insufficient, and in reality, those with a chisel edge with excellent strength surface are the mainstream. . Among them, a ball end mill described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-334405 is one that has improved chip dischargeability.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Also in the ball end mill described in JP-A-2001-334405, since it has a chisel edge formed by flank faces of opposing ball blades, the clearance between the chisel edge portion and the work material is insufficient, Chips are not sufficiently improved in terms of dischargeability, chips generated by chisel edges have poor dischargeability, chipping and welding are likely to occur, and there are problems with tool life and machining accuracy .
[0004]
[Object of the present invention]
The present invention has been made based on the above background, and has an object to provide a ball end mill having a long life and excellent machining accuracy by combining strength and cutting properties including chip dischargeability. And
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and in a ball end mill, having a center blade formed by a rake face of the ball blade continuously with the ball blade at a center portion of the end mill. A ball end mill having a step at a boundary between a flank of the ball blade and a flank of the center blade, wherein a clearance angle of the ball blade is smaller than a clearance angle of the center blade.
[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The center blade of the present invention is a chisel edge in which the rake face of the ball blade extends beyond the end mill axis in end mill bottom view and is formed by the rake faces of the ball blade, so that the shape of the center blade is formed by the flank faces. As a result, the strength of the center blade can be obtained, and the clearance with the work material at the center can be sufficiently obtained as compared with the one having the chisel edge, the biting and welding of chips can be suppressed, and Biting and welding can be suppressed. In addition, since the rake face of the ball blade is formed by R-gash processing, and the rake face of the ball blade exists beyond the center of the tool, the chip space of the center blade is sufficient, and On the other hand, it becomes 180 ° open space, and the chips generated by the center blade can be directly discharged through the rake face, the flow of the chips becomes smooth, the cutting property is improved, and It contributes to the suppression of welding. Furthermore, since the ball blade has a cutting speed and a load is applied in the rotating direction, there is a step at the boundary between the flank of the ball blade and the flank of the center blade, and the clearance angle of the ball blade is smaller than the clearance angle of the center blade. By reducing the size, it is possible to obtain strength while maintaining the machinability of the ball blade. By forming the center blade with the rake faces of the opposing ball blades, the clearance angle at the center blade becomes too large, and there is a concern about the strength surface.However, the rake angle of the center blade in the tool axis direction is a large negative rake angle. In this case, the angle of the blade in the axial section of the center blade may be set to 60 ° to 120 °, so that the center of the ball end mill can be reliably cut and the strength is excellent. The reason why the blade angle of the center blade is set to 60 ° to 120 ° is that if the angle is less than 60 °, a problem may occur in terms of strength.If the angle is more than 120 °, the rake angle exceeds 60 ° at a negative angle. This is because the cutting performance is inferior and the chip discharge space is also narrowed. The length of the center blade may be 5% to 30% of the ball diameter of the end mill, and if it is within this range, the cutting ability at the center of the ball end mill can be reliably obtained and the strength is excellent. If the length of the center blade is less than 5% of the ball diameter, the chip discharge at the center blade portion is inferior and the strength is a concern. Further, when the diameter exceeds 30% of the ball diameter, the center blade, which is inferior to the ball blade in terms of the shape, becomes too long, which may cause a problem in the machinability, and preferably 10% to 20%. desirable. As for the ball blade, the clearance angle of the ball blade is smaller than the clearance angle of the center blade, so that the cutting edge strength can be obtained, so the rake angle in the normal direction of the ball blade gradually increases from the center of the end mill to the outer side toward the outer side. It is possible to increase the size, and it is possible to improve the cutting property and the chip discharging property of the ball blade. Also, since the diameter of the ball blade increases in the outer peripheral direction from the vicinity of the connection with the center blade, the clearance between the ball blade and the work material can be maintained in the outer peripheral direction from the vicinity of the connection with the center blade to the clearance angle of the ball blade. The size can be gradually reduced as much as possible, and the strength is further improved. As described above, in the present invention, both the center blade and the ball blade have strength and machinability including chip dischargeability, and the life and machining accuracy can be improved. Needless to say, there is a close relationship between the processing accuracy and the radius accuracy of the entire ball portion including the center blade and the ball blade, and it is desirable that the radius accuracy be ± 0.02 mm, preferably ± 0.01 mm or less. . Further, a hard alloy such as a cemented carbide or a cermet may be used as an end mill material, and a hard coating such as TiAlN or a Cr-based lubricating coating may be applied as a coating. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on examples.

FIG. 1 is a front view thereof, and FIG. 2 is an AA sectional view of FIG. 1, and is an enlarged view of an axial section perpendicular to the center blade 1. The center blade 1 is formed by the rake faces 3 of the ball blades 2 facing each other, and is a solid carbide ball end mill having a radius accuracy of ± 0.01 mm or less for the entire ball portion including the center blade 1 and the ball blade 2. The length 4 of the center blade is 1.5 mm, and there is a step at the boundary between the flank 5 of the ball blade and the flank of the center blade 1, and the blade angle 6 of the center blade 1 in the end mill axial section is 90 °, ie, The rake angle of the center blade 1 is -45 °, the clearance angle is 45 °, and the clearance angle of the ball blade 2 is 15 °. Further, the rake angle of the ball blade 2 in the normal direction is gradually increased from the center to the outer side toward the positive side from -45 ° to -10 °. The tool base material is made of ultrafine cemented carbide, has a ball diameter of 10 mm, the number of blades is two, the outer peripheral helix angle is 30 °, and the TiAlN coating is covered by 3 μm. As Conventional Example 2, a ball end mill described in JP-A-2001-334405 described in the above-mentioned prior art was manufactured with the same dimensions as Example 1 of the present invention, coated, and a cutting test was performed. 3 and 4 show Conventional Example 2, FIG. 3 is a front view thereof, and FIG. 4 is an AA sectional view of FIG. 3 and is an enlarged view of an axial section perpendicular to the chisel edge 7. In the second conventional example, unlike the first embodiment of the present invention, the chisel edge 7 is formed by the flank faces 7 of the ball blades 2 facing each other, and the blade angle 5 of the chisel edge 7 is 150 °.

As a result, Example 1 of the present invention was in a stable cutting state, in which both the center blade 1 and the ball blade 2 were not welded or chipped, had a uniform wear form, and could still be cut. In Example 2, welding was observed at the chisel edge 7, and chattering vibration considered to be caused by the welding of the chisel edge 7 occurred from the point in time when the depth of the pocket shape was 5 mm, and welding and chipping were observed at the ball blade 2, and the chisel edge 7, The wear width of both ball blades 2 was large, and at the end of machining one pocket shape, it was not in a state where it could be already cut, but had a life. In addition, when observing the machined surface, Example 1 of the present invention was satisfactory without sticking of chips on both the side wall surface and the bottom surface of the pocket shape, whereas in Conventional Example 2, the wall surface of the pocket shape was chattered. It was a surface, and adhesion of chips was observed in some places, and the bottom surface was more intensely adhered, had a wrinkled surface, and had a poor processed surface.

Bottom finish cutting was performed by dry air blow, and the end mill was worn and the machined surface after a cutting length of 150 m was observed. As a result, Example 1 of the present invention is in a stable cutting state, in which no welding or chipping is observed on the center blade 1, is in a uniform wear form, is still in a state capable of being cut, and has a maximum height of the machined surface. While the roughness Rz was as good as 4.6 μm, in Conventional Example 2, welding occurred on the chisel edge 7 and chipping was partially observed, and the maximum height surface roughness Rz of the processed surface was 12.4 μm. inferior.

As a result, Examples 3 to 9 of the present invention have little wear at the end of machining one pocket shape and can still be cut. Particularly, Examples 6 and 7 of the present invention have the same center blade and ball as those of Example 1 of the present invention. Neither welding nor chipping was observed on the blades, and the blades were in a uniform abrasion form. In addition, in Example 3 of the present invention, slight chipping was observed on the center blade, and in Example 9 of the present invention, slight welding was observed on the center blade.
