According to the inner-cooling turning tool, a cooling liquid is conveyed to the liquid delivery hole in the turning tool body through the connector of the liquid feed pipe and sprayed through the two liquid outlets which are communicated at the inner end of the liquid delivery hole; the cooling liquid sprayed from the first liquid outlet is sprayed on the blade and cuttings and washes the cuttings away; and the cooling liquid sprayed from the second liquid outlet is sprayed on a cutting clearance angle of the blade and a workpiece, so that accurate spraying of the cooling liquid is realized, the using efficiency of the cooling liquid is improved, the cooling liquid is saved, temperatures of the turning tool and the surface of the workpiece are reduced, the surface of the workpiece is lubricated, the friction between the turning tool and the workpiece is reduced, the quality of the workpiece is improved, and the abrasion of the turning tool is reduced.
Description
Technical field:
The utility model belongs to the Machining Technology field, relates to a kind of metal cutting tool, is specifically related to a kind of interior cold lathe tool with feed flow structure.
Background technology:
In the cutting process of metal, because cutting and friction between cutter and workpiece, and the plastic deformation of workpiece, can produce a large amount of heat in metal cuttings, heat in metal cutting can make the temperature of workpiece and cutter sharply rise, this makes cutter be in extremely bad working environment, and cutting edge roundness easily deforms or weares and teares fast and influence cutting effect.Therefore usually need be to cutwork area spray cooling fluid, to reach cooling and lubrication.
The method of traditional injection cooling fluid is at lathe coolant nozzle to be set, and with cutter and the workpiece of this jet pipe over against cutting zone, sprays cooling fluid in working angles.This method can't be controlled the injection direction of cooling fluid accurately, and because jet length is far away, the cooling fluid one that really is ejected into cutting blade is that the rotation along with workpiece is splashed, the 2nd, cooling fluid is flowed through few of on the cutter, it is not good that institute thinks that cooling effect is implemented in cutting, but also can cause a large amount of pollutions to environment on every side.
The lathe tool that spray-hole is set at cutter hub is also arranged at present, cold lathe tool namely, its structure of cold lathe tool is generally offered the through hole that circulates for cooling fluid at cutter hub in existing, and this through hole one end connects the feed pipe of cooling fluid, and the other end is the jet over against the lathe tool blade cutting edge; In the cutwork process, by described through hole cooling fluid is delivered to described jet by the feed pipe in the external world, be injected into cutting zone again, to reach the effect of cooling and lubricated blades.But existing interior cold lathe tool generally only arranges a jet in the rake face direction, sprays cooling fluid to blade by this jet; Yet in fact, in cutting process, if the heat in metal cutting deficiency, then can't form smear metal smoothly, after smear metal forms, if rapidly the heat of smear metal is not taken away, then smear metal will form the good strip smear metal of ductility, be deposited in the rake face of blade thereby curl, blade can't in time be dispelled the heat, easily embedded again between blade and surface of the work, formed the scratch to surface of the work, so existing interior its flushing of cold lathe tool, cooling and lubricant effect are still not ideal enough.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this utility model provides a kind of simple in structure; easy to install; be suitable for the interior cold lathe tool with feed flow structure in the cutting process of metal; it is cooling and high lubricating effect, cutting quality height not only; but also can play the protection blade, the effect that prolongs cutter life.Avoided existing type of cooling hydrojet accurate inadequately, smear metal is continuous, and causes cooling fluid to cut in and out, and causes the blade inhomogeneous cooling even and the phenomenon of tipping has solved existing cutting tool above shortcomings effectively.
The technical scheme that the utility model adopts is, a kind of interior cold lathe tool with feed flow structure, comprise cutter hub, blade, edge bearing and briquetting, described cutter hub shaft is provided with delivery hole, the delivery hole outlet connects feed pipe through joint, first and second liquid outlets that the delivery hole inner end is communicated with are arranged at side and the oblique below of relief angle of blade respectively, in described first liquid outlet blast tube are housed.
Interior cold lathe tool with feed flow structure described in the utility model is further characterized in that,
The blast tube that is equipped with in described first liquid outlet can 360 degree revolutions.
The outlet opening of described second liquid outlet is positioned at the lower edge of the back angle face edge bearing of blade.
The outlet opening aperture of the blast tube of described first liquid outlet and second liquid outlet is 1～1.2 millimeter.
The delivery hole that described cutter hub shaft is provided with is opened in the side of cutter hub shaft, or is opened in the tail end of cutter hub shaft or is opened in the bottom of cutter hub shaft.
The blast tube of described first liquid outlet is metallic nozzle.
The utlity model has the interior cold lathe tool of feed flow structure, cooling fluid is delivered in the cutter hub delivery hole through the feed pipe joint, the two liquid outlets ejection that is communicated with through the delivery hole inner end, by the cooling fluid of first liquid outlet ejection be injected in above the blade and smear metal on, and wash away smear metal; Cooling fluid by the ejection of second liquid outlet then is injected on the back angle and workpiece of blade, both realized the accurate injection of cooling fluid, improved the service efficiency of cooling fluid, saved coolant, reduction cutter and workpiece surface temperature, lubricated surface of the work have been realized again, reduce the effect of the friction between cutter and workpiece, thereby improve workpiece surface quality and reduce tool wear.
