However, the conventional cutting insert has the following problems.
That is, for this type of cutting insert, a wide range of cuts (ap) and feeds (f) can be accommodated in the finishing region of cutting (that is, low ap-f (low cut and low feed) and high ap-f). (High cutting and high feed are compatible). In other words, under various cutting and feeding conditions (in a wide range of cutting conditions), there is room for improvement in suppressing chip elongation and clogging, maintaining good chip disposal and ensuring machining surface accuracy. there were.

Specifically, in the cutting insert of Patent Document 1, in the low feed region of the finishing process, the chip generated by the corner blade is mainly brought into contact with the first breaker wall of the two-stage breaker wall ( In the high feed region, the chips are processed by contacting mainly the second breaker wall of the two-stage breaker walls.
However, depending on the cutting / feeding conditions, the chips are not sufficiently brought into contact with the breaker walls and extend, and there is a risk that the processing of the chips may be time consuming and the processing surface accuracy may be reduced. Or, contrary to the above, the chip will contact the breaker wall excessively and the cutting resistance will increase, resulting in chip clogging, chatter vibration, reduced surface accuracy, wear and chipping, etc. There was a risk of shortening.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can suppress chip elongation and clogging under various cutting and feeding conditions, maintain good chip disposal, and improve machining surface accuracy. It aims at providing the cutting insert which can be ensured.

In order to solve such problems and achieve the above object, the present invention proposes the following means.
That is, the present invention includes a plate-like insert body, front and back surfaces of the insert body, and outer peripheral surfaces that connect the peripheral edges of the front and back surfaces of the insert body so as to be along the insert axial direction of the insert body. A cutting insert provided with a cutting edge formed at an intersection ridge line portion between at least the front surface and the outer peripheral surface of the front and back surfaces, wherein the cutting edge is a corner blade positioned at a corner portion of the surface. And having a breaker groove wall that is gradually inclined from the corner blade toward the inner side in the insert radial direction perpendicular to the insert axis, from the surface in the insert axis direction toward the back side, and the breaker groove wall From the back surface in the insert axial direction gradually toward the inner surface in the insert radial direction from the inner edge in the insert radial direction The first breaker standing wall inclined toward the inner edge, and the first breaker standing wall is formed so as to be perpendicular to the insert axis from the inner edge of the insert radial direction toward the inner side of the insert radial direction. The second breaker gradually inclines from the back surface in the insert axial direction toward the front surface side from the first breaker top surface and the inner edge in the insert radial direction of the first breaker top surface toward the inner side in the insert radial direction. A breaker standing wall, wherein the top surface of the first breaker is retracted from the insert axial direction surface to the back side with respect to the corner blade, and the insert main body is inserted into the insert axial direction surface. A first boundary line located at a boundary between the breaker groove wall and the first breaker standing wall in a plan view as viewed from the rear side toward the back surface; and the first breaker The second boundary line located at the boundary between the surface and the second breaker standing wall has a curved shape that protrudes outward in the insert radial direction, and the curvature radius of the first boundary line is The radius of curvature of the second boundary line is larger, and the corner blade is outward in the insert radial direction when the insert body is viewed from the front surface in the insert axial direction toward the back surface side. And the center of curvature radius of the first boundary line is located between the center of curvature radius of the corner blade and the corner blade, and the curvature of the second boundary line. The center of the radius is located between the center of the radius of curvature of the corner blade and the corner blade, and the first distance, which is the distance between the corner blade and the first boundary line, is the plan view. , For each end point located on the corner blade A first intersection where the first straight line and the first boundary line intersect when a first straight line passing through the end point perpendicular to the tangent to the corner blade at the end point intersects the first boundary line; The second distance, which is given by the distance between the end points and is the distance between the corner blade and the second boundary line, is the corner at the end point with respect to each of the end points in the plan view. When a second straight line passing through the end point perpendicular to the tangent line of the blade intersects the second boundary line, the second intersection point between the second straight line and the second boundary line and the end point The first distance and the second distance are increased as the end points move from the center in the insert circumferential direction along the insert axis of the corner blade toward both ends. It is characterized by.

  According to the cutting insert of the present invention, the breaker groove wall, the first breaker standing wall, the first breaker top surface, and the second breaker standing wall are arranged in this order from the corner blade toward the inside in the insert radial direction. That is, a plurality of breaker standing walls including at least the first and second breaker standing walls are sequentially arranged on the surface (rake face) of the insert body from the corner blade toward the inside in the insert radial direction.

Therefore, when the cutting by the cutting insert is, for example, low ap-f (low cutting / low feeding), the chips generated by the corner blade are brought into contact with the first breaker standing wall near the corner blade. Processed (curled).
In the case of high ap-f (high cutting / high feed), the chips generated by the corner blades get over the first breaker standing wall and the top surface of the first breaker and are separated from the second corner blade. It is processed by being brought into contact with the breaker standing wall. In particular, in the case of high feed, cutting resistance can be kept low and machining surface (finished surface) accuracy can be improved by bringing chips into contact with the standing wall of the second breaker away from the corner blade as described above. It is possible to extend the tool life.
In other words, by providing a plurality of breaker upright walls from the corner blade toward the inside in the insert radial direction, it is possible to satisfactorily perform chip disposal in a wide range of finishing regions from low ap-f to high ap-f. Can do.

  Specifically, unlike the present invention, for example, when only one breaker standing wall is provided, if the breaker standing wall is brought close to the corner blade to cope with low ap-f, a high ap-f is obtained. Sometimes a sufficient chip discharge space cannot be secured, resulting in chip clogging. In addition, if the breaker standing wall is separated from the corner blade and tries to cope with high ap-f, the chip becomes difficult to contact the breaker standing wall at low ap-f, and the chip extends without curling or dividing. It becomes easy.

  However, it is difficult to stably obtain the above-described effects of the present invention by simply arranging the plurality of breaker upright walls from the corner blade toward the inside in the insert radial direction. Therefore, in the present invention, the top surface of the first breaker is arranged so as to recede from the front surface in the insert axial direction to the back surface side with respect to the corner blade. That is, the first breaker top surface and the first breaker standing wall are arranged at a position lower than the corner blade.

Thereby, for example, in the case of low ap-f, even if the chips generated by the corner blade get over the first breaker standing wall and the first breaker top surface, they contact the second breaker standing wall behind the first breaker standing wall. It becomes easy and is processed well. In other words, it is possible to prevent the chips from being extended without being sufficiently brought into contact with the first and second breaker rising walls. It can be prevented from being damaged.
Moreover, in the case of high ap-f, since it is suppressed that a chip | tip will contact excessively when it climbs over a 1st breaker standing wall, cutting resistance is suppressed, maintaining a chip disposal property favorable. That is, it is possible to prevent the tool from being shortened due to chip clogging, deterioration of the machined surface accuracy due to chatter vibration, wear or chipping.

Furthermore, in the present invention, in a plan view of the insert body viewed from the front surface in the insert axial direction to the back surface side (that is, when the surface of the insert body is viewed from the front), the boundary between the breaker groove wall and the first breaker standing wall is The first boundary line positioned and the second boundary line positioned at the boundary between the top surface of the first breaker and the second breaker rising wall both have a curved shape that is convex toward the corner blade.
Further, as described above, the first and second boundary lines are formed in a convex curve shape, so that the first breaker standing wall adjacent to the inner side in the insert radial direction of the first boundary line, and the second boundary line The second breaker standing wall adjacent to the inner side in the insert radial direction is formed in a curved surface shape that is convex toward the corner blade.
As a result, the gap between the corner blade and the first and second breaker standing walls can be prevented from greatly fluctuating over the entire length of the corner blade, so that the above-described operational effects are stable in various finishing regions. It becomes easy to obtain.

And since the curvature radius of the 1st boundary line is made larger than the curvature radius of the 2nd boundary line, the following remarkable remarkable effect is achieved.
That is, as the radius of curvature of the first boundary line is increased, the radius of curvature of the first breaker standing wall adjacent to the first boundary line is also increased. It becomes easy to ensure a large length in the circumferential direction of the insert, for example, even in the case of cutting with low ap-f, even if the outflow direction of the chips generated by the corner blade is difficult to stabilize, the first breaker rises This makes it easier for chips to come into contact with the wall. Therefore, the growth of chips is remarkably suppressed, and the chip disposability is maintained well.

Further, as the radius of curvature of the second boundary line is reduced, the radius of curvature of the second breaker standing wall adjacent to the second boundary line is also reduced. It becomes easy to keep the length small, for example, in high-ap-f cutting, after chips generated by a corner blade come into contact with the second breaker standing wall, both sides of the second breaker standing wall (that is, the first breaker) It tends to flow out (to be easily discharged) toward the side of the 2 breaker standing wall and toward the insert circumferential direction of the second breaker standing wall. Therefore, the chip discharging property is enhanced, the chip clogging is remarkably suppressed, and the chip disposal property is favorably maintained.
Further, in the cutting insert of the present invention, the corner blade is a curve that protrudes outward in the insert radial direction in a plan view of the insert body viewed from the front surface in the insert axial direction toward the back surface side. And the center of curvature radius of the first boundary line is located between the center of curvature radius of the corner blade and the corner blade, and the center of curvature radius of the second boundary line is The first distance, which is located between the corner radius of curvature of the corner blade and the corner blade, which is the distance between the corner blade and the first boundary line, is on the corner blade in the plan view. For each end point located, when the first straight line passing through the end point perpendicular to the tangent of the corner blade at the end point intersects the first boundary line, the first straight line and the first boundary line Between the first point of intersection and the end point The second distance, which is given by a distance and is the distance between the corner blade and the second boundary line, is perpendicular to the tangent line of the corner blade at each of the end points in the plan view. When the second straight line passing through the end point intersects the second boundary line, the second straight line intersects the second boundary line and the second boundary line, and is given by the distance between the end point, The first distance and the second distance are increased as the end points move from the center in the insert circumferential direction along the insert axis of the corner blade toward both ends.
According to the said structure, the space | interval of a corner blade and a 1st, 2nd boundary line is ensured widely at both ends rather than the center among the blade length whole region of this corner blade. Therefore, chips generated from both ends of the corner blade are prevented from being clogged with the first and second breaker standing walls, particularly in high ap-f cutting.

  As described above, according to the present invention, under various cutting and feeding conditions, it is possible to suppress chip elongation and clogging, to maintain good chip disposability, and to secure machining surface accuracy.

  According to the cutting insert of the present invention, it is possible to suppress chip elongation and clogging under various cutting and feeding conditions, to maintain good chip disposability, and to ensure machining surface accuracy.

In other words, in this plan view, the length of the second breaker standing wall 22a in the direction perpendicular to the angle bisector S (the left-right direction in FIG. 5) is shorter than the length of the first breaker standing wall 21a. It has become.
Further, in the longitudinal sectional view shown in FIG. 6, the portion of the second breaker standing wall 22a other than the end portion located on the first breaker top surface 21b side is the back surface 3B in the insert axis O direction with respect to the corner blade 9. And projecting toward the surface 3A side (outside of the insert). That is, the height of the second breaker standing wall 22a other than the outer end portion (left end portion in FIG. 6) in the insert radial direction is higher than the corner blade 9 in the insert axis O direction (the vertical position in FIG. 6). It has become. Therefore, a virtual plane that passes through the corner blade 9 and is perpendicular to the insert axis O (a horizontal line extending in the left-right direction in FIG. 6 and corresponding to a dimension extension line representing the distance c in the figure) is the second breaker standing wall 22a. Intersect.

The second breaker top surface 22b has a planar shape perpendicular to the insert axis O. In the longitudinal cross-sectional view of the insert main body 2 shown in FIG. 6, the second breaker top surface 22 b is arranged on the surface 3 A side (insert outer side) from the back surface 3 B in the insert axis O direction with respect to the corner blade 9. That is, the height of the second breaker top surface 22b in the direction of the insert axis O (the vertical position in FIG. 6) is higher than the height of the corner blade 9 in the direction of the insert axis O.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in the present embodiment, the second breaker top surface 22 b is a seating surface formed so as to surround the mounting hole 6 in the front and back surfaces 3 (attachment seat mounting in the insert body 2). It is formed so that it may be flush with the surface that is seated on the surface.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a pair of second breaker side walls 22 c are formed adjacent to both sides of the second breaker projection wall 22 in the insert circumferential direction of the second breaker standing wall 22 a. The second breaker side wall 22c is formed so as to extend along the insert axis O direction and the insert radial direction, and to intersect the insert circumferential direction.
Moreover, as FIG. 5, FIG. 7-9 shows, a pair of 2nd breaker side wall 22c is mutually insert circumferential direction gradually as it goes to the surface 3A side (insert outer side) from the back surface 3B of the insert axis O direction. It is made to incline so as to reduce the distance. That is, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, the distance between the pair of second breaker side walls 22c arranged back to back (backward arrangement) is from the back surface 3B in the insert axis O direction to the front surface. The size is gradually reduced toward the 3A side (upward in FIG. 7). Accordingly, the width in the insert circumferential direction of the second breaker protrusion 22 (the length in the left-right direction in FIG. 7) gradually decreases from the back surface 3B in the insert axis O direction toward the front surface 3A side.

  4, 5, 7A to 8C, 8 and 9A to 9D, the second breaker side wall 22c is formed in a concave curved surface shape. In the present embodiment, the second breaker side wall 22c is formed in a concave curved surface shape over the entire length in the insert axis O direction (that is, over the entire region between the first and second breaker top surfaces 21b and 22b).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the insert body 2 is located at the boundary between the breaker groove wall 20a and the first breaker standing wall 21a in a plan view when viewed from the front surface 3A toward the back surface 3B side in the insert axis O direction. The first boundary line 31 positioned, and the second boundary line 32 positioned at the boundary between the first breaker top surface 21b and the second breaker rising wall 22a are each curved so as to protrude outward in the insert radial direction. The curvature radius R1 of the first boundary line 31 is larger than the curvature radius R2 of the second boundary line 32.

In the present embodiment, the curvature radius R1 of the first boundary line 31 is set to be not less than three times the curvature radius R2 of the second boundary line 32. Specifically, the curvature radius R1 of the first boundary line 31 is For example, it is 0.3 mm or more.
The curvature radius R1 of the first boundary line 31 is smaller than the curvature radius R0 of the corner blade 9.

In the plan view shown in FIG. 5, the first boundary line 31 extends along the blade length direction of the cutting edge 5, and at least the first boundary line 31 in the insert circumferential direction corresponding to the corner blade 9. The central part has a convex curve shape. In the illustrated example, both end portions in the insert circumferential direction corresponding to the straight blades 10 and 11 in the first boundary line 31 are linear.
In addition, the first boundary line 31 is arranged so that the center in the insert circumferential direction is closest to the cutting edge 5, and gradually distances from the center toward both ends in the insert circumferential direction. Has been increased.
Specifically, in the plan view shown in FIG. 5, the distance between the corner blade 9 and the first boundary line 31 is from the center in the insert circumferential direction to the both ends of the corner blade 9 (the blade length direction). Has been enlarged. The distance between the straight blades 10 and 11 and the first boundary line 31 is the opposite side of the corner blade 9 from the edge of the straight blades 10 and 11 (the blade length direction) on the corner blade 9 side. It is enlarged as it goes to (a direction away from the corner blade 9).

  Further, in this plan view, the center of the radius of curvature R 1 of the first boundary line 31 is located between the center of the radius of curvature R 0 of the corner blade 9 and the corner blade 9. In other words, the center of the radius of curvature R1 of the first boundary line 31 is arranged inside a sector defined between the corner blade 9 and the center of the radius of curvature R0 of the corner blade 9. Thereby, the distance between the corner blade 9 and the first boundary line 31 is larger at both ends than the center in the insert circumferential direction in the entire length of the corner blade 9.

  Further, in the longitudinal sectional view along the bisector S of the corner shown in FIG. 6, the distance (depth) a in the insert radial direction from the corner blade 9 to the first boundary line 31 is set to 0.3 mm or less. The distance (height) b in the insert axis O direction from the first boundary line 31 to the first breaker top surface 21b is 0.06 mm or more. However, when the first breaker top surface 21b is formed to be slightly inclined with respect to a virtual plane perpendicular to the insert axis O, the distance b is the outside of the first breaker top surface 21b in the insert radial direction. An end portion (that is, an end portion on the first breaker standing wall 21a side of the first breaker top surface 21b, corresponding to the height of the top portion of the first breaker standing wall 21a in the direction of the insert axis O), and a first boundary line 31 in the direction of the insert axis O direction.

  In the present embodiment, in the longitudinal sectional view shown in FIG. 6, the first boundary line 31 is located at the boundary between the breaker groove wall 20a and the first breaker standing wall 21a and forms a concave V-shaped corner. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, in this longitudinal sectional view, the first boundary line 31 is located at the boundary between the breaker groove wall 20a and the first breaker upright wall 21a, and the breaker groove wall 20a and the first breaker upright wall 21a are smoothly connected to each other. You may form in the concave curve part to connect. In this case, the above-mentioned “curvature radius R1 of the first boundary line 31” means the central portion of the first boundary line 31 that is a concave curve shape in the longitudinal sectional view (the center of the concave curve portion in the longitudinal sectional view). The radius of curvature R1.

In addition, in this longitudinal sectional view, an angle at which the breaker groove wall 20a is inclined with respect to a virtual plane (not shown) perpendicular to the insert axis O (horizontal line extending in the left-right direction in FIG. 6) (the virtual plane and the breaker groove wall) An acute angle of two crossing angles formed with 20a is an angle at which the first breaker standing wall 21a is inclined with respect to the virtual plane (the virtual plane and the first breaker rising wall 21a). The angle between the two crossing angles formed between the two is smaller than an acute angle.
In other words, the amount of displacement of the breaker groove wall 20a from the front surface 3A in the direction of the insert axis O toward the inner side in the insert radial direction toward the back surface 3B side (the inner side of the insert) per unit length is the first breaker standing wall 21a. The amount of displacement per unit length toward the inside in the insert radial direction is smaller than the amount of displacement from the back surface 3B toward the front surface 3A side (outside of the insert) in the direction of the insert axis O.

In this longitudinal sectional view, in the present embodiment, the angle at which the first breaker upright wall 21a is inclined with respect to the virtual plane (two intersections formed between the virtual plane and the first breaker upright wall 21a). Of the corners) and the angle at which the second breaker upright wall 22a is inclined with respect to the virtual plane (two intersecting angles formed between the virtual plane and the second breaker upright wall 22a). Among them, the acute angles are equal to each other.
In other words, the amount of displacement of the first breaker standing wall 21a from the back surface 3B in the direction of the insert axis O toward the inner surface in the insert radial direction toward the front surface 3A (insert outer side) and the second breaker stand up. The amount of displacement of the wall 22a from the back surface 3B in the direction of the insert axis O toward the inner side in the insert radial direction toward the front surface 3A side (outer side of the insert) in the insert axis O direction is equal to each other.

Further, in the plan view shown in FIG. 5, the distance between the corner blade 9 and the second boundary line 32 increases from the center in the insert circumferential direction to the both ends of the corner blade 9 (the blade length direction). Has been. In the present embodiment, the second boundary line 32 is formed so as to correspond to the blade length of the corner blade 9 in this plan view, but not formed in the portion corresponding to the straight blades 10 and 11. Instead, a second side boundary line 33 to be described later is formed in place of the second boundary line 32 at portions corresponding to the straight blades 10 and 11.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second boundary line 32 corresponds to the straight blades 10 and 11 from the portion corresponding to the corner blade 9 (the inner side in the insert radial direction of the corner blade 9 (inside the rake face 7)). You may form over the site | part (the inner side (the rake face 7 inner side) of the insert radial direction of the linear blades 10 and 11).

  Further, in this plan view, the center of the radius of curvature R <b> 2 of the second boundary line 32 is located between the center of the radius of curvature R <b> 0 of the corner blade 9 and the corner blade 9. That is, the center of the radius of curvature R <b> 2 of the second boundary line 32 is arranged inside a sector defined between the corner blade 9 and the center of the radius of curvature R <b> 0 of the corner blade 9. Thereby, the distance between the corner blade 9 and the second boundary line 32 is larger at both ends than the center in the insert circumferential direction in the entire length of the corner blade 9.

  In the present embodiment, the center of the radius of curvature R0 of the corner blade 9, the center of the radius of curvature R1 of the first boundary line 31, and the center of the radius of curvature R2 of the second boundary line 32 are all in this plan view. It is located on the bisector S of the corner. In the illustrated example, the center of the curvature radius R1 of the first boundary line 31 and the center of the curvature radius R2 of the second boundary line 32 are arranged at the same position.

  In the present embodiment, in the longitudinal sectional view shown in FIG. 6, the second boundary line 32 is located at the boundary between the first breaker top surface 21b and the second breaker standing wall 22a and forms a concave V shape. Although formed at the corner, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, in this longitudinal sectional view, the second boundary line 32 is located at the boundary between the first breaker top surface 21b and the second breaker standing wall 22a, and the first breaker top surface 21b and the second breaker standing wall 22a. You may form in the concave curve part which connects mutually smoothly. In this case, the above-mentioned “radius of curvature R2 of the second boundary line 32” is the central portion of the second boundary line 32 that is a concave curve shape in the longitudinal sectional view (the center of the concave curve portion in the longitudinal sectional view). The radius of curvature R2 is indicated.

  4 and 5, on both sides of the second boundary line 32 in the insert circumferential direction, second side boundary lines 33 located at the boundary between the first breaker top surface 21b and the second breaker side wall 22c, Each is connected. The second side boundary line 33 has a curved shape that is concave toward the inside in the insert radial direction, and is smoothly connected to the edge of the second boundary line 32 in the insert circumferential direction. In the present embodiment, the curvature radius (not shown) of the second side boundary line 33 is larger than the curvature radius R2 of the second boundary line 32.

  In the present embodiment, in the longitudinal sectional view shown in FIGS. 7D and 9A and 9B, the second side boundary line 33 is formed by the first breaker top surface 21b and the second breaker side wall 22c. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, in the longitudinal sectional view, the second side boundary line 33 is located at the boundary between the first breaker top surface 21b and the second breaker side wall 22c, and the first breaker top surface 21b and the second breaker side wall 22c. You may form in the concave curve part which connects mutually smoothly. In this case, the above-described “radius of curvature of the second lateral boundary line 33” means the central portion of the second lateral boundary line 33 that has a concave curved shape in the longitudinal sectional view (the concave curved portion in the longitudinal sectional view). The center of curvature).

Further, in the plan view shown in FIG. 5, the first boundary line 31, the second boundary line 32, and the second side boundary line 33 described in the present embodiment may be formed by a single arc. Alternatively, a plurality of arcs having different curvatures may be smoothly connected. Furthermore, in the connection part of adjacent circular arcs, etc., you may have a linear part partially.
When the first and second boundary lines 31 and 32 have a plurality of arcs with different curvatures, the curvature radii R1 and R2 described above are on the bisector S of the corners of the plurality of arcs. The radius of curvature of a predetermined arc located at.

The cutting insert 1 configured in this manner is provided by a clamping means in which the back surface 3B of the insert body 2 is seated on the mounting surface (bottom wall) of the insert mounting seat of the tool body (not shown) and is inserted into the mounting hole 6. It is detachably attached to the tool body.
In addition, since the cutting insert 1 of this embodiment is a front-back inversion symmetrical shape, in the above-mentioned description, it is good also as a structure which replaced the surface 3A in the front and back 3 with the back 3B, and replaced the back 3B with the surface 3A.

  According to the cutting insert 1 of the present embodiment described above, the breaker groove wall 20a, the first breaker standing wall 21a, the first breaker top surface 21b, and the second breaker standing from the corner blade 9 toward the inside in the insert radial direction. The walls 22a are arranged in this order, that is, on the surface 3A (rake face 7) of the insert body 2, a plurality of breaker standing walls including at least the first and second breaker standing walls 21a, 22a are provided at the corner blades 9. Are lined up inward in the radial direction of the insert.

Therefore, when the cutting by the cutting insert 1 is, for example, low ap-f (low cutting / low feeding), the chips generated by the corner blade 9 are applied to the first breaker standing wall 21 a close to the corner blade 9. It is contacted and processed (curled).
Further, in the case of high ap-f (high cutting / high feed), chips generated by the corner blade 9 get over the first breaker standing wall 21a and the first breaker top surface 21b, and from the corner blade 9 The second breaker standing wall 22a which is separated is contacted and processed. In particular, in the case of high feed, chips are brought into contact with the second breaker standing wall 22a away from the corner blade 9 as described above, so that cutting resistance can be kept small and the machining surface (finished surface) accuracy can be reduced. The tool life can be extended.
That is, by providing the plurality of breaker upright walls 21a and 22a from the corner blade 9 toward the inner side in the insert radial direction, chip treatment can be performed in a wide range of finishing processing regions from low ap-f to high ap-f. It can be done well.

  Specifically, unlike the present embodiment, for example, when only one breaker standing wall is provided, if the breaker standing wall is brought close to the corner blade 9 to try to cope with low ap-f, high ap- At f, a sufficient chip discharge space cannot be secured, and chip clogging occurs. Further, if the breaker standing wall is separated from the corner blade 9 and tries to cope with the high ap-f, the chip becomes difficult to be brought into contact with the standing wall at the low ap-f, so that the chip is not curled or divided. It becomes easy to grow.

  However, it is difficult to stably obtain the above-described operational effects by simply arranging the plurality of breaker standing walls 21a and 22a from the corner blade 9 toward the inside in the insert radial direction. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first breaker top surface 21b is disposed so as to recede from the front surface 3A in the insert axis O direction toward the back surface 3B side with respect to the corner blade 9. That is, the first breaker top surface 21 b and the first breaker standing wall 21 a are arranged at a position lower than the corner blade 9. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the distance (height) c at which the first breaker top surface 21b moves backward from the front surface 3A in the insert axis O direction toward the back surface 3B side with respect to the corner blade 9 is 0.01 mm or more. Has been.

Thereby, for example, in the case of low ap-f, even if the chips generated by the corner blade 9 get over the first breaker standing wall 21a and the first breaker top surface 21b, the second breaker standing wall behind it It becomes easy to contact 22a and is processed satisfactorily. In other words, since it is suppressed that the chips are not sufficiently brought into contact with the first and second breaker upright walls 21a and 22a, it is necessary to process the expanded chips, It prevents the processing surface from being damaged.
Further, in the case of high ap-f, the chip is prevented from coming into contact with the first breaker rising wall 21a excessively when the chip breaks over the first breaker rising wall 21a. . That is, it is possible to prevent the tool from being shortened due to chip clogging, deterioration of the machined surface accuracy due to chatter vibration, wear or chipping.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the insert body 2 is viewed from the front surface 3A in the direction of the insert axis O toward the back surface 3B (that is, the front surface 3A of the insert body 2 is viewed from the front). ), The first boundary line 31 located at the boundary between the breaker groove wall 20a and the first breaker standing wall 21a, and the second boundary line located at the boundary between the first breaker top surface 21b and the second breaker standing wall 22a. 32 have a curved shape that is convex toward the corner blade 9. Also, as described above, the first and second boundary lines 31 and 32 are formed in a convex curve shape, so that the first breaker standing wall 21a adjacent to the inside of the first boundary line 31 in the insert radial direction, and The second breaker standing wall 22 a adjacent to the inside of the second boundary line 32 in the insert radial direction is formed in a curved surface shape that is convex toward the corner blade 9.
As a result, the gap between the corner blade 9 and the first and second breaker upright walls 21a and 22a can be prevented from greatly fluctuating over the entire length of the corner blade 9, so that the above-mentioned in various finishing regions It becomes easy to obtain the effect stably.

And since the curvature radius R1 of the 1st boundary line 31 is made larger than the curvature radius R2 of the 2nd boundary line 32, the following remarkable effect is achieved.
That is, as the radius of curvature R1 of the first boundary line 31 is increased, the radius of curvature of the first breaker standing wall 21a adjacent to the first boundary line 31 is also increased. Therefore, the first breaker standing wall 21a It is easy to ensure a large length in the circumferential direction of the insert. For example, even in a low ap-f cutting process, the first breaker is used even when the direction of discharge of chips generated by the corner blade 9 is difficult to stabilize. Chips can easily come into contact with the standing wall 21a.
Therefore, the growth of chips is remarkably suppressed, and the chip disposability is maintained well.

  Further, as the radius of curvature R2 of the second boundary line 32 is reduced, the radius of curvature of the second breaker standing wall 22a adjacent to the second boundary line 32 is also reduced, so this second breaker standing wall 22a. It is easy to keep the length in the insert circumferential direction small. For example, in cutting with high ap-f, the chips generated by the corner blade 9 come into contact with the second breaker standing wall 22a, and then the second breaker stands. It tends to flow out toward both sides of the wall 22a (that is, on the side of the second breaker standing wall 22a and on the second breaker side wall 22c located on both sides in the insert circumferential direction of the second breaker standing wall 22a). Is easier to do). Therefore, the chip discharging property is enhanced, the chip clogging is remarkably suppressed, and the chip disposal property is favorably maintained.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress chip elongation and clogging under various cutting and feeding conditions, to maintain good chip disposal, and to secure machining surface accuracy.

In the present embodiment, the curvature radius R1 of the first boundary line 31 is three times or more than the curvature radius R2 of the second boundary line 32. Therefore, the curvatures of the first and second boundary lines 31, 32 described above are used. The operational effect due to the size of the radii R1 and R2 can be obtained more reliably and stably.
In addition, since the curvature radius R1 of the 1st boundary line 31 is 0.3 mm or more as demonstrated in this embodiment, since elongation of a chip can be suppressed notably and stably, it is more preferable.

Moreover, in this embodiment, since the 2nd breaker protrusion 22 has the 2nd breaker side wall 22c adjacent to the insert circumferential direction of the 2nd breaker standing wall 22a in the concave curved surface shape, there exists the following effect.
That is, according to the above configuration, for example, in cutting with high ap-f, after the chips generated by the corner blade 9 come into contact with the second breaker standing wall 22a, in the insert circumferential direction of the second breaker standing wall 22a. When the second breaker side wall 22c flows on the adjacent second breaker side wall 22c, the chip breaker discharge space is sufficiently secured and the chip discharge performance is improved. . Therefore, clogging of chips is suppressed, and chip disposal is maintained well.

Further, in the present embodiment, the corner blade 9 has a curved shape that protrudes outward in the insert radial direction in the plan view shown in FIG. 5, and between the corner blade 9 and the first boundary line 31. , And the distance between the corner blade 9 and the second boundary line 32 is increased from the center in the insert circumferential direction to the both ends of the corner blade 9, specifically, the first boundary line. Since the center of the radius of curvature R1 of 31 and the center of the radius of curvature R2 of the second boundary line 32 are located between the center of the radius of curvature R0 of the corner blade 9 and the corner blade 9, the following Has an effect.
That is, according to the said structure, the space | interval of the corner blade 9 and the 1st, 2nd boundary lines 31 and 32 is ensured widely in both ends rather than the center among the blade length whole region of this corner blade 9. FIG. Become.
Therefore, chips generated from both ends of the corner blade 9 are prevented from being clogged between the first and second breaker upright walls 21a and 22a, particularly in high ap-f cutting.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the insert main body 2 is made into the rotationally symmetrical shape centering on the insert axis line O, and the insert main body 2 is made into the front-and-back inversion symmetrical shape. Therefore, since this cutting insert 1 has a plurality of corner blades 9, the old corner blade 9 after use can be replaced with an unused new corner blade 9, and the cutting life of the cutting insert 1 can be improved. Extend.

In the present embodiment, in the longitudinal sectional view shown in FIG. 6, the distance a in the insert radial direction between the corner blade 9 and the first boundary line 31 is 0.3 mm or less. Since the adjacent first breaker standing wall 21a is disposed sufficiently close to the corner blade 9, for example, in the low ap-f cutting, the outflow direction of the chips generated by the corner blade 9 is stabilized. Even if it is difficult, the chips easily come into contact with the first breaker standing wall 21a. Therefore, the growth of chips is remarkably suppressed, and the chip disposability is maintained well.
Specifically, for example, when the distance a in the insert radial direction between the corner blade 9 and the first boundary line 31 exceeds 0.3 mm, the first breaker standing wall 21a is disposed sufficiently close to the corner blade 9. There is a possibility that chips cannot be stably brought into contact with the first breaker standing wall 21a.

  In addition, it is preferable that the distance a is 0.15 mm or more. When the distance a is 0.15 mm or more, the first breaker upright wall 21a can be stably functioned even in low-ap-f cutting in the finished region, and the chip runs (chips on the surface). Occurrence of the phenomenon of climbing to a portion inside 3A of the insert radial direction from the second breaker projection 22 in 3A can be suppressed.

The distance b in the insert axis O direction from the first boundary line 31 to the first breaker top surface 21b is 0.06 mm or more, that is, the height of the first breaker upright wall 21a in the insert axis O direction is Since the first breaker top surface 21b and the first breaker standing wall 21a are arranged lower than the corner blade 9 as described above to achieve a remarkable effect, the first breaker standing wall 21a is secured. A large chip contact area can be secured. That is, it becomes possible to make chips reliably contact the first breaker upright wall 21a, and the above-described operational effects become more remarkable.
Specifically, for example, when the distance b in the insert axis O direction from the first boundary line 31 to the first breaker top surface 21b is less than 0.06 mm, the height of the first breaker standing wall 21a in the insert axis O direction is high. The thickness cannot be secured sufficiently, and it becomes difficult for the chips to come into contact with the first breaker upright wall 21a and to be easily stretched, so that the chip disposability may not be maintained well.

  In addition, about the upper limit of the distance b, the value will not be limited if the distance a (a <= 0.3mm) and the distance c (c> 0mm) mentioned above are satisfy | filled from a viewpoint of chip disposal property. However, from the viewpoint of securing the cutting edge strength of the corner blade 9, the rake angle (a sharp angle and an obtuse angle formed between a virtual plane (not shown) perpendicular to the insert axis O in FIG. 6 and the breaker groove wall 20a). Among them, the acute angle) is set to be less than 30 °, and accordingly, the distance b is preferably 0.17 mm or less. Note that “the rake angle of the corner blade 9 is set to be less than 30 °” means that the corner blade 9 is formed when the flank 8 is formed parallel to the insert axis O (negative) as in the present embodiment. The tool angle of 9 (the angle formed between the breaker groove wall 20a and the flank 8 in the longitudinal sectional view shown in FIG. 6) is substantially equal to 60 ° or more.

Moreover, in this embodiment, since the connection part of the 1st breaker standing wall 21a and the 1st breaker top surface 21b has comprised the convex curve shape, there exists the following effect.
That is, according to the above configuration, for example, in cutting with high ap-f, when the chips generated by the corner blade 9 get over the first breaker standing wall 21a and the first breaker top surface 21b, the convex curved connection is formed. Since it flows along a part and it becomes easy to contact more reliably with respect to the 2nd breaker standing wall 22a behind it, chip disposal property is maintained favorably.

  In particular, as described in the present embodiment, the curvature radius of the connection portion (the curvature radius of the convex curve in a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the extending direction of the ridgeline formed by the connection portion) is shown in FIGS. As shown in b), when the first breaker projection 21 is gradually increased from the center in the insert circumferential direction toward both ends, the above-described effects are more prominent as cutting with high ap-f. It is more preferable because it is easily formed.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the insert body 2 of the cutting insert 1 has a substantially rhombic rectangular plate shape, and the front and back surfaces 3 have a substantially rhombic rectangular surface shape. It is not limited. That is, the insert body 2 may have a polygonal plate shape such as a triangular plate shape other than the rectangular plate shape.

In the above-described embodiment, the insert body 2 has a 180 ° rotationally symmetric shape with the insert axis O as the center. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the insert body 2 has the triangular plate shape, the insert body 2 may have a 120 ° rotationally symmetric shape about the insert axis O.
Further, the insert body 2 may not have a rotationally symmetric shape around the insert axis O.

In the above-described embodiment, the cutting insert 1 is made of a hard material such as cemented carbide, for example, and at least the vicinity of the cutting edge 5 (the cutting edge 5, the rake face 7 and the flank face 8) of the outer surface is a CVD coating film. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
That is, the cutting insert 1 is, for example, a PCD (polycrystalline diamond) sintered body or a cBN (cubic boron nitride) sintered body in a concave portion formed in a corner portion of a cemented carbide base metal (base). A cutting edge chip made of an ultra-high hardness sintered body may be integrally formed by brazing or the like.

<Result>
The results of this test are shown in Table 1. The meanings of the evaluation symbols (◯, x) shown in Table 1 are as follows.
“◯”: The chips are appropriately divided without extending, and the chips are not clogged, and the chip discharging property is maintained well.
“×”: Chips are elongated, chips are clogged, or the shape of the chips becomes unstable, and the chip treatment is not performed well.
In addition, as “remarks” for evaluation, the state of chip disposal specifically confirmed in each example is described.

As shown in Table 1, in Examples 1 and 2 of the present invention, it is confirmed that in both the cutting operations of conditions I and II, chip elongation and chip clogging do not occur and chip processing can be performed satisfactorily. It was done.
On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 to 4, in which the distance c is 0 mm (that is, the first breaker top surface 21b is the same height as the corner blade 9), in the cutting process of Condition II, the chip ride (chip) On the surface 3A, a phenomenon of climbing to a portion inside the insert radial direction from the second breaker protrusion 22), resulting in unstable chip treatment.
Further, among Comparative Examples 2 to 4 that do not satisfy the relationship of curvature radius R1> curvature radius R2, in Comparative Examples 2 and 4, chip elongation occurs in the cutting process under Condition I, and in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the condition is satisfied.
