Abstract

In a rough cutter (20), square tips (51) and rectangular tips (52) are arranged in the second-fourth step portions (26-28) in a zigzag manner in the axial direction and a pair of the square tip (51) and the rectangular tip (52) form one cutting tooth. Consequently, the frequency of touching the blade root can be reduced effectively. Since cutting feed can be quickened by raising the cutting speed of the rough cutter (20), the work can be performed efficiently in the rough cutting process. Since the square tip (51) and the rectangular tip (52) have a simple profile, conventional throw-away tips available on the market can be utilized. Consequently, a user-friendly rough cutter (20) can be provided at a low cost.

Description

Throw-away cutting rotary tool

The present disclosure relates to a throw-away cutting rotary tool, and more particularly, to a throw-away cutting rotary tool for cutting a blade root of a turbine blade mounted on the outer periphery of a rotor.

Conventionally, when producing turbine blades for generators, it is necessary to match the contour of the blade root of the turbine blade to the shape of the groove in order to attach it to the Christmas tree-like groove formed on the outer periphery of the rotor. The blade root is generally processed symmetrically with respect to its own longitudinal direction and gradually narrowing while increasing or decreasing the root width toward the tip side in an inverted Christmas tree shape. Narrow width portions and wide width portions having a wide root width are alternately formed.

In order to machine the side of such a blade root in one pass, for example, it is equipped with a tool body formed in the shape of an inverted Christmas tree, and the cutting tips are fixedly installed on a plurality of cutting tip seats formed on the tool body. A so-called “throw away” type cutting tool is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). Since this type of cutting tool can replace only the cutting tip without changing the tool body, the amount of discarded tools is reduced and it is economical.
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-254812

However, in the cutting tool described in Patent Document 1, since a complex blade root is roughly cut with one tool, the load applied to the tool is large, and in particular, the portion constricted radially inward is weaker than other parts. . Therefore, there has been a problem that vibration and chatter noise are generated during processing. Furthermore, if machining is continued in such an unstable state, there is a risk of breakage centering on the constricted part, so machining must be performed while suppressing the cutting feed of the tool, and efficient machining can be achieved. There wasn't. Moreover, since it is necessary to match the shape of the cutting tip with the contour shape of the blade root, a commercially available general rectangular cutting tip cannot be used. Therefore, there is a problem that the cost for manufacturing the cutting tip is high.

The present disclosure has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a throw-away cutting rotary tool that can efficiently and stably process the blade root of a turbine blade.

Hereinafter, a rough cutting cutter 20 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The blade root 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a base for mounting a turbine blade (not shown) in a groove formed on the outer periphery of a rotor (not shown) used as a generator. A rough cutting cutter 20 shown in FIG. 5 is a throw-away cutting rotary tool used in a rough cutting process (see FIG. 2: S10) performed first in the process of cutting the blade root 1.

First, the shape of the blade root 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the blade root 1, which is the base of the turbine blade, is symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal direction of the turbine blade and gradually narrows while increasing or decreasing the root width toward the tip side in a reverse Christmas tree shape. It is formed as follows. A first wide portion 11, a second wide portion 12, a third wide portion 13, and a fourth wide portion 14 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the blade root 1 from the front end side toward the rear end side with a space therebetween. And their root width is gradually getting wider.

Further, a first narrow portion 15 is formed between the first wide portion 11 and the second wide portion 12, and a second narrow portion 16 is formed between the second wide portion 12 and the third wide portion 13. A third narrow portion 17 is formed between the third wide portion 13 and the fourth wide portion 14. A fourth narrow portion 18 is formed behind the fourth wide portion 14. The root width of the second narrow portion 16 is wider than the root width of the first narrow portion 15. The root width of the third narrow portion 17 is wider than the root width of the second narrow portion 16. The root width of the fourth narrow portion 18 is wider than the root width of the third narrow portion 17.

Next, the cutting process of the blade root 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the blade root cutting process includes a roughing process (S10), an intermediate finishing process (S11), and a finishing process (S12). Hereinafter, the contents of these three steps will be described in detail in order.

First, the rough cutting process (S10) will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, when a planned blade root shape 10 (two-dot chain line) finally formed on the blade root 1 is assumed, first, the rough root cutter 20 is used to form the blade root 1. The rough shape 2 is cut. The outline of the rough cutting shape 2 is cut stepwise so that the diameter gradually decreases in the longitudinal direction of the planned blade root shape 10. By cutting the rough-cut shape 2, as shown in FIG. 4, the first wide portion 11, the second wide portion 12, the third wide portion 13, and the fourth wide portion 14 of the planned blade root shape 10 are predetermined. It is cut so as to leave a cutting allowance of 65 mm.

In other words, the first narrow portion 15, the second narrow portion 16, the third narrow portion 17, and the fourth wide portion 118 having a narrow root width are cut in the next intermediate finishing process, and the first root having a wide root width is obtained. The wide part 11, the second wide part 12, the third wide part 13, and the fourth wide part 14 are cut first in the first roughing process. Therefore, when cutting with the intermediate finishing cutter 70 described later, the first wide portion 11, the second wide portion 12, the third wide portion 13, and the fourth wide portion 14 are already cut. Therefore, in the confining cutter 70 (see FIG. 12), the constricted portions corresponding to the first wide portion 11, the second wide portion 12, the third wide portion 13, and the fourth wide portion 14 are arranged on the outer periphery of the blade root 1. The surfaces do not touch. Although the constricted portion is weaker than other portions, the blade root 1 is not in contact with that portion, so that the load on the intermediate finishing cutter 70 can be reduced.

51 and 52 of the fifth step part 29 Is cut by the lower side of the rotation locus of the rectangular chip 52 fixed to the fourth step portion 28.

In this way, in the rough cutting step (S10), as shown in FIG. 4, the rough cutting that has been cut stepwise to leave the cutting allowance 65 in the first to fourth wide portions 11 to 14 of the planned blade root shape 10. Shape 2 is formed.

As described above, in the rough cutting cutter 20, the square chips 51 and the rectangular chips 52 are arranged in a staggered manner in the axial direction in the second to fourth step portions 26 to 28. In contrast to a single blade formed on each step portion of a conventional high-speed rough cutting cutter, the rough cutting cutter 20 forms a single blade with a pair of square chips 51 and rectangular chips 52. That is, in the second to fourth step portions 26 to 28, four chips are arranged in a staggered manner, so that two blades are formed. In the conventional high-speed rough cutting cutter, it is necessary to provide a large number of blades (for example, six blades) in order to cut the rough cutting shape 2 which is a complicated shape.

Therefore, by arranging the pair of square tips 51 and the rectangular tips 52 in a staggered manner like the rough cutting cutter 20, the contact frequency with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the blade root 1 can be effectively reduced. Thereby, since the load received from the blade root 1 can be reduced, the cutting speed by the rough cutting cutter 20 can be increased, so that the cutting feed can be accelerated. Therefore, the work in the roughing process can be performed efficiently. Furthermore, since the square tip 51 and the rectangular tip 52 used in the rough cutting cutter 20 have a simple shape, a commercially available conventional throw-away tip can be used. That is, since it is not necessary to manufacture a chip having a new shape in order to use the rough cutting cutter 20, it is possible to provide the rough cutting cutter 20 which is inexpensive and easy to use.

Next, the intermediate finishing step (S11) will be described. With respect to the rough-cut shape 2 cut into the blade root 1 in the rough finishing step shown in FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 10, the intermediate finish shape 3 is cut into the blade root 1 using the intermediate finishing cutter 70. . The contour of the intermediate finish shape 3 is cut in a state where a predetermined cutting allowance 65 (see FIG. 11) is left for the planned blade root shape 10. That is, by cutting the intermediate finish shape 3, as shown in FIG. 11, the first wide portion 11, the second wide portion 12, and the third wide portion 10 of the planned blade root shape 10 previously cut leaving the cutting allowance 65 are obtained. In addition to the wide width portion 13 and the fourth wide width portion 14, the portions that become the first narrow width portion 15, the second narrow width portion 16, the third narrow width portion 17, and the fourth narrow width portion 18 are also predetermined. The remaining cutting allowance 65 is cut.

Next, the positional relationship between the rectangular chip 91, the square chip 92, the seed chip 95 and the circular chip 96 in the axial direction of the intermediate finishing cutter 70 will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, first, in the first step portion 75, the square tip 92 fixed to the second protrusion 82 and the square tip 92 fixed to the fourth protrusion 84 are in the same row in the axial direction. Placed on top.

Further, in the second step portion 76 to the fourth step portion 78, the rectangular chip 91 fixed to the first protrusion 81 and the third protrusion 83, respectively, and the second protrusion 82 and the fourth protrusion 84, respectively. The square chips 92 are arranged in a staggered manner in the axial direction. Further, in the fifth step portion 79, the circular tip 96 fixed to the first protrusion 81 and the third protrusion 83, respectively, and the seed tip 95 fixed to the second protrusion 82 and the fourth protrusion 84, respectively. Are arranged so that the arc portions overlap each other.

Next, with reference to FIG. 16, a cutting method of the semifinished shape 3 based on the rotation locus of the rectangular tip 91, the rotation locus of the square tip 92, the rotation locus of the seed tip 95, and the rotation locus of the circular tip 96 will be described. I will explain. FIG. 16 shows the rotation trajectory of each of the

chips

91, 92, 95, 96 when the tool body 73 is viewed in a cross section along the axial direction. Here, the description will be made assuming that the rear end side in the axial direction of the tool body 23 is “upper side” and the front end side in the axial direction is “lower side”. As shown in FIG. 16, first, in the first step portion 75, a cutting path is formed by one side below the corner portion protruding outward in the radial direction in the rotation locus of the square tip 92. By this cutting path, the rear end side of the first wide portion 11 of the planned blade root shape 10 is cut while leaving a predetermined cutting allowance 65.

Further, in the second step portion 76, the corner portion protruding outward in the radial direction in the rotation trajectory of the rectangular tip 91, the two sides sandwiching the corner portion in the center, and the corner portion protruding outward in the radial direction of the square tip 92 are provided. A V-shaped cutting path is formed by the lower side. By this V-shaped cutting path, the first narrow portion 15 is cut while leaving a predetermined cutting allowance 65.

Further, in the third step portion 77, corner portions protruding outward in the radial direction in the rotation trajectory of the rectangular chip 91, two sides sandwiching the corner portion in the center, and corner portions protruding outward in the radial direction of the square chip 92. A V-shaped cutting path is formed by the lower side. By this V-shaped cutting path, the second narrow portion 16 is cut while leaving a predetermined cutting allowance 65.

Further, in the fourth step portion 78, the corner portion protruding outward in the radial direction in the rotation trajectory of the rectangular chip 91, the two sides sandwiching the corner portion in the center, and the corner portion protruding outward in the radial direction of the square chip 92 are provided. A V-shaped cutting path is formed by the lower side. By this V-shaped cutting path, the third narrow portion 17 is cut while leaving a predetermined cutting allowance 65.

Further, in the fifth step portion 79, an arc-shaped cutting path is formed by the arc portion of the seed tip 95, one side extending from the arc portion, and the arc portion in the rotation locus of the circular tip 96. By this arc-shaped cutting path, the fourth narrow portion 18 is cut while leaving a predetermined cutting allowance 65.

Thus, in the intermediate finishing cutter 70, the rectangular chips 91 and the square chips 92 are arranged in a staggered manner in the second to fourth step portions 76 to 78. In contrast to one blade formed on each step portion of the conventional high-speed type intermediate finishing cutter, the intermediate finishing cutter 70 includes a pair of rectangular chips 91 and square chips 92 to form one blade. That is, in the second to fourth step portions 86 to 88, since four chips are arranged in a staggered manner, two blades are formed. In the conventional high-speed type intermediate finishing cutter, a large number of blades (for example, 6 blades) must be provided in order to cut a complicated intermediate finishing shape.

Therefore, by arranging the pair of rectangular tips 91 and square tips 92 in a staggered manner like the intermediate finishing cutter 70, the frequency of contact with the outer peripheral surface of the blade root 1 can be effectively reduced. Thereby, since the load received from the blade root 1 can be reduced, the cutting speed by the intermediate finishing cutter 70 can be increased, so that the cutting feed can be accelerated. Therefore, the work in the intermediate finishing process can be performed efficiently.

Further, in the intermediate finishing cutter 70, the portion corresponding to the fourth narrow portion 18 of the planned blade root shape 10 is divided into two seed tips 95 fixed to the fifth step portion 79 and two circular tips. Cut with 96. These four chips are arranged on the same line in the axial direction. That is, the second to fourth step portions 76 to 78 form two blades, while the fifth step portion 79 forms four blades. This is because a more stable machining can be realized by increasing the number of blades in a portion where the cutting amount is large, such as the fourth narrow portion 18 as compared with other portions.

Further, since the rectangular tip 91 and the square tip 92 used in the intermediate finishing cutter 70 have a simple shape similar to the rough cutting cutter 20 described above, a commercially available conventional throw-away tip can be used. That is, since it is not necessary to manufacture a chip having a new shape in order to use the intermediate finishing cutter 70, it is possible to provide the intermediate finishing cutter 70 which is inexpensive and easy to use.

In the intermediate finishing process, the first wide portion 11, the second wide portion 12, the third wide portion 13, and the fourth wide portion 14 of the planned blade root shape 10 have already been cut in the rough cutting step. The first narrow portion 15, the second narrow portion 16, the third narrow portion 17, and the fourth narrow portion 18 except for these are cut leaving a predetermined cutting allowance 65. And the part corresponding to the 1st wide part 11, the 2nd wide part 12, the 3rd wide part 13, and the 4th wide part 14 is reduced in diameter direction inside among the tool main bodies 73, but it has already been cut Therefore, it does not contact the outer peripheral surface of the blade root 1.

This prevents an excessive load from being applied to the reduced diameter part, which is weaker than other parts. Therefore, since the cutting feed by the intermediate finishing cutter 70 can be accelerated, the intermediate finishing shape 3 can be efficiently cut. Further, since an excessive load is not applied to the reduced diameter portion, chatter noise and vibration generated during machining can be suppressed, and there is no possibility of breakage during cutting. In this way, by using the intermediate finishing cutter 70, the predetermined cutting allowance 65 is left for all the portions of the planned blade root shape 10 with respect to the blade root 1 on which the rough-cut shape 2 is formed. Thus, the intermediate finish shape 3 can be cut efficiently.

Next, the finishing process (S12) will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, the intermediate finish shape 3 is cut using a finishing cutter 100 formed in an inverted Christmas tree shape on the blade root 1 from which the intermediate finish shape 3 has been cut in the intermediate finishing step. Then, the predetermined cutting allowance 65 is cut off at a time. Thus, the cutting process of the blade root 1 is completed.

As described above, the blade root cutting process for cutting the blade root 1 is composed of three steps: a roughing process, a semi-finishing process, and a finishing process. In the rough cutting process, the rough cutting shape 2 is cut with respect to the blade root 1 by using the rough cutting cutter 20 according to this embodiment. By cutting the rough shape 2, the first wide portion 11, the second wide portion 12, the third wide portion 13, and the fourth wide portion 14 of the planned blade root shape 10 are cut while leaving a predetermined cutting allowance 65. it can. The rough cutting cutter 20 is a throw-away cutting rotary tool. The rough cutting cutter 20 is provided with a tool body 23 whose diameter is reduced stepwise. The tool body 23 is composed of first to fifth step portions 25 to 29.

In each step, an even number of chip seats are recessed in the circumferential direction and arranged in a staggered manner in the axial direction. For example, rectangular chips 52 and square chips 51 are alternately fitted and fixed to the chip seats in the second step part 26 to the fourth step part 28 in the circumferential direction. That is, since the pair of square chips 51 and the rectangular chips 52 form one blade, the second to fourth step portions 26 to 28 form two blades. Therefore, since the contact frequency with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the blade root 1 can be effectively reduced, the load received from the blade root 1 can be reduced.

Furthermore, from this, the cutting speed by the rough cutting cutter 20 can be increased and the cutting feed can be accelerated, so that the work in the rough cutting process can be performed efficiently. Furthermore, since the square tip 51 and the rectangular tip 52 used in the rough cutting cutter 20 have a simple shape, a commercially available conventional throw-away tip can be used. That is, since it is not necessary to manufacture a chip having a new shape in order to use the rough cutting cutter 20, it is possible to provide the rough cutting cutter 20 which is inexpensive and easy to use.

Moreover, the rough cutting shape 2 can be cut by using the rough cutting cutter 20. In the rough cutting shape 2, the first wide portion 11, the second wide portion 12, the third wide portion 13, and the fourth wide portion 14 of the planned blade root shape 10 have already been cut leaving a cutting allowance 65. Thereby, in the intermediate finishing process which is the next process, it is not necessary to cut portions corresponding to the first wide portion 11, the second wide portion 12, the third wide portion 13, and the fourth wide portion 14. In the intermediate finishing process, the intermediate finishing cutter 70 formed in the shape of an inverted Christmas tree is used, but the portion whose diameter is reduced inward in the radial direction, which is weaker than other parts, has already been cut leaving the cutting allowance 65. This corresponds to the first wide portion 11, the second wide portion 12, the third wide portion 13, and the fourth wide portion 14. That is, since the reduced diameter portion of the intermediate finishing cutter 70 does not contact the outer peripheral surface of the blade root 1, it is possible to prevent an excessive load from being applied. Moreover, since the cutting feed by the intermediate finishing cutter 70 can be made faster, the intermediate finishing shape 3 can be cut efficiently. Furthermore, since an excessive load is not applied to the reduced diameter portion, chatter noise and vibration generated during machining can be suppressed, and there is no risk of breakage during cutting.

Next, in order to confirm the effect of using the rough cutting cutter 20, in the rough cutting process, the rough cutting cutter 20 (tool A) is used, and the conventional high-speed rough cutting cutter (tool) is used. A comparison was made with B). In this comparative test, the cutting feed when using the throw-away type tool A and the cutting feed when using the conventional high-speed type tool B were measured and evaluated. The conditions (diameter, number of blades) and cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed per blade, number of rotations) of each tool are as shown in Table 1 below.

That is, the diameter of the tool A was set to 80.0 mm, the number of blades was 2, the cutting speed was 100 mm / min, the feed per blade was 0.08 mm / tooth, and the rotation speed was set to 397.9 min ⁻¹ . On the other hand, the diameter of the tool B was set to 80.0 mm, the number of blades was 6, the cutting speed was set to 20 mm / min, the feed per blade was set to 0.02 mm / blade, and the rotation speed was set to 79.6 min ⁻¹ . Note that the number of blades of the rough cutting cutter 20 as the tool A is such that, as described above, the two types of chips are arranged in a staggered manner, so that the blades that come into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the blade root 1 are cut. When calculated as a number, it becomes 2 blades.

As shown in FIG. 18 and Table 1, when the tool B is used, in order to cut the complicated rough shape 2, the cutting speed and the number of rotations are increased because 6 blades are applied to the workpiece for cutting. I could not. Therefore, the cutting feed when using the tool B was 9.5 mm / min. On the other hand, when the tool A is used, since only two blades are applied to the workpiece, the impact received from the workpiece can be reduced, so that the cutting speed and the rotational speed can be increased with respect to the tool B. . Thereby, the cutting feed when using the tool A was dramatically faster than the tool B, and was 63.7 mm / min. From these results, it was demonstrated that by using the tool A, the rough-cut shape 2 can be efficiently cut on the blade root 1.

In the above embodiment, the rough cutting cutter 20 that is the “throw away type cutting rotary tool” of the present disclosure is, for example, an end mill or a side cutter.

Needless to say, the present disclosure can be variously modified. For example, in the above embodiment, the rough cutting cutter 20 includes the tool main body 23 including the first to fifth step portions 25 to 29, but the number of step portions is not limited thereto.

In the roughing process, the first wide portion 11, the second wide portion 12, the third wide portion 13, and the fourth wide portion 14 were all cut first, leaving a predetermined cutting allowance 65. It is sufficient to cut at least the narrow portion on the tip side where the root width is extremely narrow.

The throwaway cutting rotary tool of the present disclosure is applicable not only to cutting blade roots of turbine blades but also to cutting tree-like base shapes.

Claims

A blade root of a turbine blade mounted on the outer periphery of the rotor, which is symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal direction of the blade root and gradually narrows while increasing or decreasing the root width toward the tip side in a reverse Christmas tree shape. A throw-away cutting rotary tool for performing rough machining of the blade root, which is alternately processed with a narrow portion where the root width is narrowed and a wide portion where the root width is widened,
A tool body having a plurality of stepped portions on the side surface corresponding to the number of the widened portions formed on the blade root, which rotates around the axis and is formed to have a stepped small diameter toward the tip in the axial direction;
A chip seat formed of at least an even number formed in an outer periphery and a circumferential direction of each stepped portion of the tool body, and recessed in a staggered arrangement with respect to the axial direction;
A chip that is fitted and fixed to each of the chip seats,
The tip seat is
A first chip seat;
A second chip seat,
The chip is
A rectangular first chip fixed to the first chip seat and having one side parallel to the longitudinal direction;
A rectangular second chip fixed to the second chip seat and having one side parallel to the longitudinal direction;
When the predetermined shape of the blade root to be formed is viewed in a cross section along the longitudinal direction,
A part of the rotation locus of the one side of the first chip and a part of the rotation locus of the one side of the second chip overlap on the same line in the longitudinal direction,
The portion that becomes the wide portion corresponding to the step portion is cut leaving a predetermined cutting allowance by the rotation locus of the one side of the first chip and the rotation locus of the one side of the second chip. At the same time, only the length of the step portion in the axial direction is cut in parallel to the longitudinal direction.
The first tip and the second tip are right blades,
The throwaway cutting rotary tool according to claim 1, wherein the groove formed between the first tip seat and the second tip seat is left-handed.
