DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cutting tool most suitable for machining a valve hole in a cylinder head of an engine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In such a valve hole of a cylinder head, a valve frequently comes into contact with the periphery of the opening of the hole. Therefore, a hard member such as a sintered alloy is fitted into this portion to improve durability. I'm trying to get. Therefore, as a cutting tool for machining the valve hole, a tool provided with a hole machining tool such as a gun reamer for finishing the hole itself and a cutting edge tip for machining the periphery of the opening is used. Moreover, the opening is often formed in a tapered surface shape in accordance with the shape of the valve head, so that the cutting edge tip is positioned with respect to the rotation axis of the cutting tool so that such a surface can be cut. It is desirable to be mounted slidably in the oblique direction.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show an example of a conventional cutting tool used for machining such a valve hole. In these figures, the tool body 1 has a substantially conical shape, is mounted via an adapter 2 on a spindle end or the like of a machine tool (not shown), and is rotated around its axis O for cutting. A bush 3 is mounted on the tip of the tool body 1 along the axis O. A shank of a hole machining tool (not shown) such as the above-mentioned gun reamer is fitted into the bush 3 to thereby insert the tool body 1. By finishing the hole machining tool while rotating the hole, the hole itself can be finished. The advance of the drilling tool is performed by a shaft 4 which is coaxially inserted into a slide shaft described later.

Further, three cutting blade tips 5 are provided on the outer periphery of the distal end of the tool body 1, and the cutting edges 5 are used to machine the above-mentioned peripheral edge of the valve hole. I have. However, only one cutting edge tip 5A is shown in FIG. 5, and the other two cutting edge tips 5A are shown.
B and 5C are not shown. Here, among these cutting edge tips 5, the two cutting edge tips 5B and 5C are directly fixed to the tool body 1, while the one cutting edge tip 5A is slidable as described above. Installed. That is, the tool body 1 is formed with a T-shaped groove 6 as shown in FIG. 6 along the direction of the conical generating line of the tool body 1, that is, along the direction oblique to the axis O. The slider 7 is slidably fitted into the slider 7, and the cutting blade tip 5A is detachably fixed to the slider 7.

On the other hand, holes 1a and 2a are formed along the axis O inside the tool body 1 and the adapter 2, respectively, and the slide shaft 8 and the coupling member 9 are inserted into these holes 1a and 2a. Have been. The coupling member 9 is fitted into the hole 1a via a key 9a, whereby the tool body 1 and the coupling member 9 can rotate integrally about the axis O, and the slide shaft 8
Is allowed to advance and retreat in the hole 1a. Further, the T-groove 6 and the hole 1a of the tool main body 1 communicate with each other via a hole 6a opened on the bottom surface of the T-groove 6. The slider 7 passes through the hole 6a and the hole 1a
The slider 7 and the coupling member 9 are connected by fitting the tip of the connection pin 10 into the oblique hole 9 b formed in the coupling member 9. I have. By moving the coupling member 9 forward and backward via the slide shaft 8, the slider 7 slides along the T groove 6, and the cutting edge tip 5A slides in a direction oblique to the axis O. I have.

In order to perform the above-described machining of the valve hole with the cutting tool having such a configuration, a hole machining tool such as a gun reamer is mounted on the bush 3 and drawn into the base end side of the tool body 1 by the shaft 4. Then, the tool body 1 is rotated and feed is given in the direction of the axis O. First, the opening of the valve hole is chamfered by the two cutting blade tips 5B and 5C. Next, after the tool main body 1 is once slightly retracted, the slide shaft 8 and the coupling member 9 are advanced while rotating the tool main body 1 to slide the cutting tip 5A via the connecting pin 10 and the slider 7. As a result, the above-described tapered surface is formed on the periphery of the opening of the valve hole. Thereafter, the hole drilling tool is advanced by the shaft 4 while the tool body 1 is being rotated, and finishing inside the valve hole (valve guide hole) is performed.

[0007]

By the way, in the cutting tool having the above-described structure, when the tapered surface is formed on the periphery of the opening of the valve hole as described above, the cutting load acting on the cutting edge tip 5A is reduced by the slider 7. Is received by the wall surface of the T-slot 6 of the tool main body 1 (particularly, the wall surface facing the tool rotation direction) through the tool, so that during such long-term use, the wall surface of the T-slot 6 is worn out by such a cutting load. Deformation occurs. Also, the wall surface will be worn by the slider 7 sliding in the T groove 6. Such abrasion may cause rattling of the slider 7, which may impair the processing accuracy of the cutting edge tip 5 </ b> A. Specifically, the slider 7 does not slide straight, but slides in a recessed portion at the portion where the wear has occurred, so that the tapered surface does not become an accurate conical surface but becomes a curved surface that expands like a drum. Would.

When such wear occurs in the cutting tool having the above-mentioned structure, the T-groove 6 is widened and corrected by polishing or the like to form a new wall surface, and the new T-groove 6 is formed. The slider 7 having a size and a shape corresponding to the above is re-manufactured to reuse the tool body 1 and the like. However, when such measures are taken,
Since the T-slot 6 must be modified and the slider 7 must be re-manufactured every time wear occurs, the operation is inevitably complicated, and the dimensions and shape of the slider 7 change each time it is re-manufactured. You have to redo the design. For this reason, there is a possibility that reusing the tool body 1 may result in an uneconomical situation. Further, when wear occurs, the T-groove 6
Has to be polished again and the slider 7 needs to be replaced, so that maintenance work must be performed relatively frequently.

In the cutting tool having the above-described structure, the cutting edge tip 5A is positioned by the engagement between the T-slot 6 and the slider 7 inserted into the T-slot 6, so that the molding error of the T-slot 6 and the slider 7 is reduced. There is no room for adjustment, and in order to obtain desired processing accuracy, these T-grooves 6 and sliders 7 must also be formed with high precision, which is difficult. Further, there is a limit in increasing the mounting rigidity of the slider 7, and this is one of the causes of causing the rattle of the slider 7. The present invention has been made under such a background, and it is needless to say that it is possible to avoid a situation such as re-polishing of a groove when wear occurs and re-manufacture of a slider in accordance with this. It is another object of the present invention to provide a cutting tool capable of suppressing the backlash of the slider even if abrasion occurs, thereby eliminating maintenance work, and further improving the mounting rigidity of the slider.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve such an object, the present invention provides a substantially conical tool body rotated about an axis along a generatrix of the cone. A concave groove is formed, and a slider having a cutting blade tip is slidably mounted along the concave groove in the concave groove, and inside the tool main body, rotates integrally with the tool main body. A cutting tool comprising a coupling member which is capable of being moved and retractable along the axis, and which engages with the slider to slide the slider. Of the wall surfaces, between one of the wall surfaces and the slider, a spacer having an engaging portion extending in the direction of the generatrix is detachably interposed, and
On one side of the slider that is brought into contact with the spacer, an engaged portion that engages with the engaging portion is formed, and between the other wall surface of the pair of wall surfaces and the slider. A wedge member for pushing the slider against the one wall surface by being pushed into the bottom surface side of the concave groove to engage the engaging portion and the engaged portion is removably interposed. A slit is formed in the wedge member so as to extend in the generatrix direction in parallel with the other wall surface of the groove, and the wedge member can be elastically deformed in a direction in which the slit opens and closes. An urging means for urging the wedge member toward one side surface and the bottom surface of the concave groove is provided on the wall surface side.

[0011]

In the cutting tool having such a configuration, the spacer and the wedge member are removably interposed between the side surface of the slider and the wall surface of the concave groove facing each other. The applied cutting load is received by the wall surface via the spacer and the wedge member, so that wear and deformation due to the cutting load occur on the spacer and the wedge member. Also,
Wear due to sliding of the slider also occurs on these spacers and wedge members, so even if such wear or deformation occurs, these grooves and grooves need not be formed again, and the sliders must not be remanufactured. It is possible to maintain the processing accuracy very easily and economically by replacing the member. Further, in the above cutting tool, by pushing a wedge member arranged on the other wall surface side of the pair of wall surfaces of the concave groove, the slider is pressed on one wall surface side, and the engaging portion and the engaged portion are pressed. The engagement is strong and the slider and the cutting tip are positioned. For this reason, it is possible to tolerate molding errors occurring in the slider and the concave groove, thereby reducing the labor involved in the molding and improving the rigidity of the slider.

Further, the wedge member is urged toward one wall surface and the bottom surface side of the groove by urging means provided on the other wall surface side of the groove, whereby the slider is constantly fixed. It is urged and pressed against one wall surface by the force. For this reason, even if a little abrasion occurs between the engaging portion of the spacer and the engaged portion of the slider, it is possible to suppress the rattling of the slider and continue cutting. In addition to this, in the cutting tool having the above configuration, a slit is formed in the wedge member so as to extend in the generatrix direction in parallel with the other wall surface of the concave groove. That is, a certain degree of elastic deformation is possible in the direction inclined toward one wall surface side and the other wall surface side of the concave groove. When the wedge member presses the slider against one wall surface by the urging means, the wedge member elastically deforms in the direction in which the slit closes, so that the wedge member hits the slider over the entire contact surface between the two. Because it is uniform, this strengthens the engagement between the slider and the spacer,
It is possible to smoothly slide the slider.

[0013]

FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment has the same basic structure as the conventional cutting tool shown in FIG. Are assigned the same reference numerals to simplify the description. In these figures, the illustration of the adapter 2 and the slide shaft 8 is omitted. In this embodiment, instead of the T-slot 6 formed in the tool body 1 of the conventional cutting tool, a pair of opposed wall surfaces 11a and 11b parallel to each other and a bottom surface 11c orthogonal to these wall surfaces 11a and 11b are used. A defined groove 11 is formed along the direction of the generatrix of the tool body 1 having a substantially conical shape, and a wall surface 11a facing the tool rotation direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 2) T in the groove 11. A spacer 12 is removably attached to the side by a clamp bolt 13, and a wedge member 14 is removably interposed on the wall surface 11b of the concave groove 11 facing the rear side in the tool rotation direction T. Also, the wall surface 11b of the groove 11
A biasing means 15 is provided on the side. The slider 1 is slidably provided in a gap defined by the spacer 12, the wedge member 14, and the bottom surface 11c of the concave groove 11 in the generatrix direction, that is, the direction oblique to the axis O.
6 is inserted.

The spacer 12 is a plate-shaped member formed so as to extend over substantially the entire length of the concave groove 11 when mounted on the tool body 1.
A serration groove 12a having a wavy cross section is formed on the inside of the concave groove 11, that is, on the side surface facing the tool rotation direction T, so as to extend along the generatrix direction. Therefore, it is the engaging portion in the present embodiment. Also, the wedge member 14
Like the spacer 12, it is formed so as to extend over the entire length of the concave groove 11 when mounted on the tool body 1, and the surface 14 a facing the tool rotation direction T side is formed on the wall surface 1.
1b, the inner surface of the concave groove 11, that is, the surface 14b facing the rear side in the tool rotation direction T is inclined with the inclined surface facing the side surface 14a toward the bottom surface 11c of the concave groove 11. Have been.

On the other hand, the slider 16 is a prism-shaped member which is bent in a "-" shape as shown in FIG. The cutting blade tip 5A is detachably attached.
A tool body 1 is provided at the base end of the slider 16.
A serration groove 16a having a corrugated cross section that is in close contact with the serration groove 16 of the spacer 12 is formed on one side surface facing the wall surface 11a side in the mounting state to the engaged portion in the present embodiment. The other side surface 16b facing the wall surface 11b opposite to the one side surface corresponds to the inclination formed by the side surface 14b of the wedge member 14, and the serration groove 16a moves toward the bottom surface 11c of the concave groove 11. Is formed as an inclined surface that is separated from the side of the one side surface. As shown in FIG. 3, the slider 16 is provided with the serration groove 16a.
The serration groove 12a of the wedge member 14 is engaged with the other side 16b.
4b, and the bottom surface 16c thereof is brought into close contact with the bottom surface 11c of the concave groove 11, and is slidably fitted into the gap.

Further, the wedge member 14 is formed so as to be parallel to the side surface 14a and parallel to the wall surface 11b of the concave groove 11 from the surface located on the outer peripheral side of the tool toward the bottom surface 11c of the concave groove 11. Slit 1 extending along the generatrix direction
The slit 14c allows the wedge member 14 to be elastically deformable in the opening and closing direction with the slit 14c as a boundary. In the present embodiment, the slit 14c is formed from the surface of the wedge member 14 located on the outer peripheral side of the tool, but the slit is formed from the surface located on the side of the bottom surface 11c of the concave groove 11 toward the outer peripheral side of the tool. It may be. Also, a plurality of slits may be formed alternately from the outer peripheral side of the tool and from the bottom surface 11c side of the concave groove 11. Further, in this embodiment, the slit 1
4c is formed in parallel with the side surface 14a of the wedge member 14, that is, in parallel with the wall surface 11b of the concave groove, for example, it may be formed so as to be parallel to the side surface 14b of the wedge member 14, ie, this slit 14 c may be formed so as to extend in parallel with the wall surface 11 b of the concave groove 11 in the generatrix direction.

Further, the urging means 15 provided on the wall surface 11b side of the concave groove 11 uses a set screw with a spring, and has a bottomed cylindrical set screw having a screw formed on the outer peripheral surface (adjusting member). ) 17, a coil spring (spring member) 18 is loosely inserted, and a pressing member 19 is disposed on the tip side of the coil spring 18. Then, such a set screw 17 is inserted into the screw hole 20 penetrating from the outer peripheral surface of the tool main body 1 to the wall surface 11 b of the concave groove 11, and the pressing member 1 is formed.
9 is screwed so as to protrude from the wall surface 11b. Here, the screw hole 2 is formed on the side surface 14a of the wedge member 14.
A notch groove 14d is formed at a position corresponding to the opening on the side of the wall surface 11b on the 0 side so as to extend along the generatrix direction, and the pressing member 19 protruding from the wall surface 11b is engaged with the notch groove 14d. ing. As shown in FIG. 3, the screw hole 20 is formed in a direction oblique to one side surface 111a of the concave groove 11 and a bottom surface 11c orthogonal to the one side surface 111a. Therefore, the wedge member 1 is
4 receives an urging force pressed against the side surface 11a and the bottom surface 11c.

On the other hand, also in the present embodiment, three cutting edge tips 5 are attached to the tip of the tool body 1, and one of the cutting edge tips 5A is mounted on the slider 16 and is slidable. It has become. On the other hand, the other two cutting edge tips 5B and 5C are fixed to the tip of the tool body 1 as shown in FIG. The tool bodies 1 are arranged so as to be equidistantly shifted from each other in the direction of the axis O of the tool body 1. Here, FIG. 4 shows these cutting blade tips 5A, 5A.
B and 5C show the rotation trajectory about the axis O drawn by the two cutting blade tips 5 as shown in FIG.
B and 5C are arranged such that the cutting edge portions 5b and 5c used for the cutting intersect each other at an obtuse angle in the rotation locus. The cutting locus R of the cutting tip 5A is drawn by sliding the slider 16 on the rotational locus so that the moving locus R drawn by the cutting edge portion 5a is located between the cutting edges 5b and 5c of the cutting tips 5B and 5C. Thus, it is disposed so as to intersect both cutting edge portions 5b and 5c at an obtuse angle.

Also in the cutting tool having such a configuration, the tool body 1 is provided with a hole machining tool such as a gun reamer at the tip thereof, and is attached to a spindle end of a machine tool via an adapter or the like to perform cutting. Provided. That is, the tool body 1 is fed in the direction of the axis O while rotating the tool body 1 around the axis O in a state where the hole drilling tool is retracted to the base end side as shown in FIG. Then, chamfers C, C are formed in the openings of the holes. However, in FIG. 4, what is indicated by reference symbol S is a hard member such as a sintered alloy that is fitted to the periphery of the opening such as the valve hole as described above. Then, after the chamfers C and C are formed, the tool main body 1 is slightly retracted once while the tool main body 1 is being rotated, and then the coupling member 9 is advanced by protruding a slide shaft (not shown) so as to be connected. The slider 16 is slid in the generatrix direction via the pin 10 to move the cutting blade tip 5A along the movement locus R, thereby forming a tapered surface P at the opening of the hole. Thereafter, while the tool body 1 is still rotating, the hole drilling tool such as the gun reamer is advanced and inserted into the valve hole, and the valve hole itself is finished.

In the cutting tool having the above-described structure, the cutting load acting on the cutting edge tip 5A when forming the tapered surface P is applied via the slider 16 to the spacer located mainly on the rear side in the tool rotation direction T. 12 will be accepted. Therefore, abrasion and deformation due to the cutting load occur in the spacer 12, and the concave groove 11, that is, the tool body 1 does not wear or deform. Further, the wear caused by sliding the slider 16 does not occur on the spacer 12 and the wedge member 14, and the tool main body 1 is not damaged. The spacer 12 and the wedge member 14
Since each of them is detachably attached to the tool body 1, it is possible to extremely easily recover machining accuracy and the like by replacing these members when wear or deformation occurs. In addition, the member to be replaced may be of the same standard as the member before replacement, and it is extremely economical because there is no need to redesign the member every time wear occurs. This is the same when the slider 16 is replaced.

In the cutting tool having the above structure, the wedge member 14 is pushed into the bottom surface 11c of the groove 11 so that
A wedge effect is exerted between the side surface 16b of the slider 16 and the side surface 14b of the wedge member 14 which are inclined and adhere to each other, whereby the slider 16
1, the serration groove (engaged portion) 16a is brought into contact with and engaged with the serration groove (engagement portion) 12a of the spacer 12. And
As a result, the degree of engagement between the serration grooves 12a and 16a can be increased, and the positional accuracy of the cutting edge tip 5A can be improved. Moreover, in the cutting tool having the above configuration, the wedge member 14 is always urged toward the side surface 11a and the bottom surface 11c of the concave groove 11 by the urging means 15 provided on the wall surface 11b side of the concave groove 11. Therefore, the wedge effect described above always acts regardless of whether cutting or non-cutting.
5 is kept pressed against the wall surface 11a of the groove 11 by the elastic force of the coil spring 18 of FIG.

Therefore, according to the cutting tool having the above structure, even if the cutting load or the abrasion or deformation due to the sliding of the slider 16 is reduced, the engagement portion (the serration groove 12a) on the spacer 12 side.
And the engaged portion on the slider 16 side (the serration groove 16
a) Or even if it occurs between the slider 16 and the wedge member 14, the engagement force and the close contact between the side surfaces 16b and 14b can be maintained, and the slider 16 can be prevented from rattling. For this reason, the cutting operation can be continued without any trouble even if slight wear occurs, thereby extending the replacement interval of the spacer 12, the wedge member 14, or the slider 16 to extend the tool life. And labor required for maintenance and the like can be reduced. In addition, since the slider 16 is constantly urged toward the side surface 11a by the urging means 15 with a constant urging force, the mounting rigidity of the slider 16 itself can be improved. Even if a severe cutting load or the like acts, the slider 16 can be firmly held to prevent rattling and perform stable processing. In addition, since the mounting rigidity of the slider 16 is improved as described above, the mounting accuracy of the slider 16 can be increased, and the positional accuracy of the cutting edge tip 5A can be increased. It is also possible to do.

In addition, in the cutting tool having the above configuration, the wedge member 14 is formed with the slit 14c, so that the wedge member 14 can be elastically deformed in the direction in which the slit 14c opens and closes. For this reason, when the wedge member 14 presses the slider 16 by the urging force of the urging means 15, the wedge member 14 is also slightly elastically deformed in the direction in which the slit 14c closes.
Then, the contact between the wedge member 14 and the slider 16 becomes uniform, so that the side surface 14b of the wedge member 14 is formed.
And the side surface 16b of the slider 16 are strongly and locally adhered to each other, and the both surfaces 14b and 16b are evenly brought into close contact with each other over the entire surface thereof, and the side surface 16b is pressed evenly so that the slider 16 is pressed. Stably the concave wall surface 11
Pressing to the a side becomes possible. Therefore, according to the cutting tool having the above configuration, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the pressing force of the wedge member 14 locally acts on the side surfaces 14b and 16b to hinder the sliding of the slider 16. Thus, the slider 16 can be smoothly slid to facilitate smooth cutting. this is,
This is particularly effective when a large number of biasing means 15 cannot be provided due to limitations on the size of the tool body 1 or the like.

Further, in this embodiment, the urging means 1
5 comprises a pressing member 19, a coil spring 18 as a spring member, and a set screw 17 as an adjusting member. By loosening or screwing in the set screw 17 to advance and retreat in the screw hole 20, The force by which the coil spring 18 presses the wedge member 14 via the pressing member 19, that is, the urging force of the urging means 15 can be adjusted. And thereby, the wedge member 1
The pressing force with which the slider 4 presses the slider 16 can also be adjusted appropriately. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to more effectively prevent a situation in which the sliding of the slider 16 is hindered by an excessive pressing force. On the other hand, when the engaging portion and the engaged portion are worn out or the like, the urging force is increased to strongly press the slider 16 and the engagement between the engaging portion and the engaged portion is further strengthened. As a result, the play of the slider 16 can be more reliably prevented, and the tool life can be further extended.

Further, in this embodiment, the spacer 12
The engaging portion of the slider 16 and the engaged portion of the slider 16 are the serration grooves 12a and 16a having a corrugated cross section which can be in close contact with each other. Since it is possible, it is possible to further improve the positional accuracy of the cutting edge tip 5A and perform a cutting operation with higher accuracy. In this embodiment, the engaging portion and the engaged portion are formed by serration grooves 12 having a corrugated cross section.
a and 16a, the slider 1 may be used as a serration groove having a saw-tooth cross section to increase the contact area.
The mounting rigidity of No. 6 can be improved. Further, even if the engaging portion and the engaged portion are simply constituted by the key-shaped protrusion and the key-groove-shaped concave portion, if the spacer 12 and the urging means 15 are provided, the slider 16 can be replaced. It is possible to obtain effects such as economical efficiency and prevention of rattling against wear.

In the above embodiment, the wedge member 14 presses the slider 16 with the opposed wall surfaces 11a and 11b of the concave groove 11 being parallel, and the side surface 14b of the wedge member 14 and the side surface 16b of the slider 16 being inclined surfaces. The wedge member 14 is in contact with the wall surface 11b of the concave groove 11 and the side surface 1 facing the tool rotation direction T side.
4a is an inclined surface approaching the wall surface 11a toward the bottom surface 11c, and the side surface 16b of the slider 16 and the side surface 14b of the wedge member 14 are
It may be made parallel to the wall surface 11a in the state of being mounted on the wall. In the cutting tool having such a configuration, it is not necessary to form an inclined surface on the slider 16, and therefore, there is an advantage that the cutting tool can be easily manufactured. Further, in the present embodiment, the wedge member 14 is urged by one urging means 15, but a plurality of urging means 15 may be provided along the generatrix direction depending on the size of the tool body 1, the processing conditions, and the like. It may be. A coil spring 1 is used as a spring member.
Instead of 8, a disc spring may be used. Further, a metal-made spherical member or the like may be used as the pressing member, and the cutout groove 14d may be formed in a V-shaped cross section. With such a configuration, the urging force is always wedge-fixed in a fixed direction. It is possible to stabilize the direction in which the slider 16 is pressed by transmitting it to the member 14 and to more reliably prevent rattling and the like.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention, the cutting load acting from the cutting edge tip via the slider and the wear and deformation due to the sliding of the slider are mainly caused between the slider and the wall surface of the concave groove. This will occur in the interposed spacer, and in such a case, by replacing these members, it is possible to easily recover the mounting accuracy and position accuracy of the slider and maintain the processing accuracy, These members are economical because the standard does not change every time they are replaced. Further, since the engaging portion and the engaged portion that engage with each other are formed between the spacer and the slider, the mounting rigidity of the slider can be improved.

Further, the wedge member is always urged to one side and the bottom side of the concave groove by the urging means, and the slider is also always urged to the spacer side. Even if a little wear occurs between the slider and the engaged part, the rattling of the slider can be suppressed and cutting can be continued, and the service life of the tool can be extended and the labor required for maintenance etc. can be reduced. It becomes possible. Moreover, since the wedge member is formed with a slit and the wedge member is elastically deformable, the contact between the wedge member and the slider can be made uniform, regardless of the urging force of the urging means. The slider can be slid smoothly, and smooth cutting can be promoted.
