A radial bearing 30 is fitted on a support shaft 28 formed on the base end side of the fitting shaft 18 of the arbor 16 and is locked by a retaining ring 32. A cover 34 is fitted on the outer ring of the bearing 30. This cover 34
A cap 36 fitted to the opposite side of the outer ring of the bearing 30 is connected with a bolt 38, and is rotatably supported by the tool body 2.

The cover 34 has a bearing 30 on the arbor 16.
The support cover 40 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is supported via the support cover 40, and the movable cover 42 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the support cover 40 on the distal end side.

The tip end of the support cover 40 extends to the tip end side of the tool body 2 so as to substantially cover the outer peripheral surface of the tool body 2. Further, a long hole extending in the axial direction of the tool body 2 is formed at a position where the circumferential surface of the support cover 40 is divided into three equal parts in the circumferential direction. The movable cover 42 is connected to the support cover 40 by a bolt 46 inserted in the elongated hole 44, whereby the movable cover 42 is movable in the axial direction of the tool body 2.

A chip storage chamber 48 is formed between the inner peripheral surface of each of the covers 40 and 42 and the outer peripheral surface of the tool body 2. The chip storage chamber 48 is formed by the reduced diameter portion 50 formed on the base end side of the cover 34 so that the bearing 3 of the cover 34 can be supported.
It is separated from the side facing 0.

After the position of 2 is adjusted, the tool body 2 is mounted on the spindle 22 via the arbor 16. Then, after this, while the air in the chip storage chamber 48 is being sucked by the suction device connected to the discharge port 52, the tool body 2 is rotated around the axis and is sent out in the direction orthogonal to the axis, and accordingly. The cutting edges 8a and 8b projected from the tip end surface and the outer peripheral surface of the tool body 2 cut the work material.

[0013]

In the conventional rolling tool as described above, the cover forming the chip storage chamber between the tool body and the tool body has its tip end surface located near the tip end of the tool body, Since it bulges radially outward of the blade, there is a problem that the cover easily interferes with the work material when the cutting depth of the tool is increased. Further, since the position of the movable cover has to be adjusted up and down according to the depth of cut, there is a problem that the work is complicated. Further, since the cover is large, the entire tool has a large shape, which may cause inconvenience in handling, and it has been desired to reduce the size of the cover. Furthermore, in the rolling tool as described above, in the case of performing the digging process in which the work material is subjected to planar cutting in multiple stages to sequentially dig the work material in the axial direction of the tool, the cover is an end portion of the work material ( Since it hits the uncut portion), there is a problem that the ends of the work material at each cutting stage cannot be aligned, and the digging process cannot be performed.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a tool in which chips can be easily removed and the entire size including a cover is reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the figure, the same components as those in the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals to simplify the description.

Reference numeral 70 is a tool body. The tool main body 70 is a substantially cylindrical body having a central hole 72, and a plurality of recesses 74 are formed in the outer peripheral portion of the tip at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Then, in the recesses 74, the flat plate-shaped cutting blade tip 8 tightens the clamp screw 10 in a state in which the front cutting blade 8a and the outer peripheral cutting blade 8b are projected from the tip end surface and the outer peripheral surface of the tool body 2. It is fixed by each. The main shaft 22 (or a holder such as an arbor attached to the main shaft as necessary) is inserted into the center hole 72, and is fixed by screwing a bolt 20 into the tip of the main shaft 22. An air supply hole 76 is provided inside the main shaft 22, and the air supply hole 76 is opened at the tip of the main shaft 22. A ring-shaped groove 78 is formed in a part of the center hole 72, and the internal space of the center hole 72 and the air supply hole 76 communicate with each other at the position of the groove 78. . The air supply hole 76 penetrates the main shaft 22 and is connected to an external air source through a connecting tool (not shown) such as a rotary joint.

On the other hand, in the tool body, the base end portion (upper end side in FIG. 1) has a small diameter portion 70a, the tip end portion (lower end side in FIG. 1) has a large diameter portion 70b, and a middle portion has a tapered portion 70c. It has a shape and has an appearance similar to that of a general (non-suction type) tool as a whole. On the other hand, the large diameter portion 70b
Chip accommodating portions 80 are formed on the outer peripheral side in the vicinity of the mounting location of the chips 8 in a direction parallel to the central axis of rotation. Further, a wall portion 82 (a lower surface thereof is flush with a lower surface of the tool body) partitioning a surface of the chip storage portion 80 on the front end side, and a wall portion 84 partitioning an outer periphery thereof ( The outer peripheral surface thereof is flush with the outer peripheral surface of the tool body), and the tip end thereof is arranged substantially parallel to the rake surface 8c of the tip 8 and slits 86 and 88 are formed between them. . Each of these slits 86 and 88 has a cutting edge 8 of the tip 8.
In order to guide the cutting chips generated by the cutting of a and 8b into the chip storage portion 80, the distance between the cutting blade and the cutting blade is set so that the chips having a size corresponding to the assumed maximum cutting amount can pass without any trouble. Is set. The wall portions 82 and 84 are
Each of them forms a part of the tool body 70, and is formed, for example, by processing the large diameter portion 70b of the tool body 70 from the base end portion with an end mill or the like.

On the outer periphery of the small diameter portion 70a (and the tapered portion 70c) of the tool body 70, a cylindrical cover 90 having an outer dimension substantially equal to that of the large diameter portion 70c is provided. This cover 90 is attached via the suction duct 56.
It is connected to a negative pressure source (not shown) and forms a space communicating with each of the chip accommodating portions 80 between the tool body 70 and the outer periphery thereof. The cover 90 is supported rotatably by a member such as the main shaft 22 or an arbor that rotates integrally with the main shaft 22 as in the conventional example, or by a non-rotating member such as a main frame of a machine tool. Either of them may be used.

Further, an air hole 94 is formed between the chip accommodating portion 80 and the groove portion 78 of the center hole 72 so as to penetrate the tool body 70 in the radial direction.
4, the central hole 72 and each chip storage portion 80 are communicated with each other. That is, the air supplied from the air supply holes 76 is evenly distributed by the grooves 78 to the air holes 94 to the chip storage portion 80.

The cutting tool having the above construction is attached to the machine tool by inserting the shaft 22 into the center hole 78 of the tool body 70 and tightening the bolt 20. Further, since the air supply hole 76 provided in the main shaft 22 communicates with the groove portion 78, all the air holes 94 to the chip storage portion 80 communicate with each other through the groove portion 78.

On the other hand, the work material is fixed on a machine table (not shown) so that the work surface is orthogonal to the axis of the main shaft. Further, while the vacuum pressure is applied by the suction hose 56, the tool body 2 is rotated by the main shaft 22 and the main shaft 22 or the machine table is moved in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction to expose the cutting edge on the tool tip side. It is possible to cut the cut part of the work material with 8a and 8b.

When the cutting process is performed as described above, the suction hose 56 is provided inside the chip storage chamber 90.
Negative pressure is generated because air is sucked from. Along with this, air is sucked from the gap between the tip surface of the cover 68 and the tip portion of the tool body 2, and the rake surface 8c of the tip 8 is also sucked.
Then, air is sucked along the rake face 8c from the gap between the ridge face 8c of the protrusion 76 and the end face 76a facing the rake face 8c.

Then, along with the cutting, the cutting edge 8 of the tip 8
The chips generated in a and 8b are guided into the chip storage portion 80 through the slits 86 and 88 while being guided by the rake face 8a of the chip 8. At this time, the air introduced into the chip storage unit 80 through the air holes 94 cools the chip 8 by being blown to the chip 8 and hits the chip in the chip storage unit 80, so that the chip 8 is impaired. It is broken into a continuous state, and further becomes a multiphase flow of gas (supplied air) and solid (chips) in the chip storage unit 80 and is blown up above the chip storage unit. Further, the blown chips are sucked into the duct 56 via the cover 90 by the negative pressure of the duct 56. Since the balance between the amount of air supplied from the air holes 94 and the amount of air exhausted from the duct 56 is set so that the exhaust amount exceeds, it is attempted to scatter to the surroundings via the slits 86 and 88. It is possible to suck the chips that are used. At this time, in this front milling cutter, the cover 90 is present at a position above the cutting edge, and its tip does not cover the outer peripheral cutting edge 8b of the tip 8, so even if the cutting depth of the tool is increased,
The cover 90 does not interfere with the work material. Also,
Unlike the front milling cutter shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, it does not require the work of adjusting the position of the movable cover according to the depth of cut, and since the outer diameter of the cover is small, the entire tool is also small. ing.

Needless to say, the shape of the tip attached to the tool body is not limited to the above embodiment. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the air is positively supplied to the chip storage portion, but this is omitted and the duct 5 is omitted.
The chips in the cover 90 may be removed only by the negative pressure supplied from the cover 6.

Further, the air supply hole is not always indispensable, and the air supply hole is omitted, and the chip is guided to the chip storage portion through the slit and the negative pressure in the cover of the chip in the chip storage portion is applied. The chip removal effect can be obtained by only suction, and in this case, the step of inserting a tool into the center hole and processing the air supply hole is not necessary.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention, the tool body is provided in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the large diameter portion in parallel with the axis.
A hollow chip accommodating portion that is bored in the direction and closed at the tip end side of the tool body and is open at the base end side, and a cutting blade protruding from the outer periphery and tip of the tool body in the vicinity of the chip accommodating portion. And a slit that guides cutting waste to the chip storage portion is provided between the wall surface that surrounds the tip end side of the chip storage portion and the wall surface that surrounds the outer peripheral side of the chip storage portion and the cutting blade. Therefore, it is possible to guide the chips to the chip storage portion through the slits during cutting. Further, since the base end of the chip storage portion is communicated with the space between the outer periphery of the small diameter portion of the tool body and the cover,
By applying a vacuum pressure to this space, the chips in the chip storage unit can be removed. Further, the cover does not need to be present near the cutting edge because it is only necessary to suck the chips once received in the chip storage section. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the interference with the work material and to reduce the cutting depth. Accordingly, there is no need to move the mounting position. Further, since the wall portion is formed integrally with the tool body, there is an effect that the number of parts can be reduced.
