Abstract
The milling cutter with a feeding motion in forward and reverse mills plane surfaces of large diameter in the area of through holes and consists of a tool head 17 which can be driven in rotation by a shank 17 and in which are mounted two cutting parts so as to be radially movable and lockable in seating slots. The cutting parts are shifted by means of a rocker which is disposed so as to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the tool and whose steering bolts attached to its face and pointing in an axial direction engage associated recesses in the cutting parts in the manner of crank pins.
Claims9
A milling cutter having a bidirectional feeding motion used to machine a large diameter plane surface in an area around through holes, comprising:
- (a) a housing;
- (b) a jacket located within said housing;
- (c) a shank mounted in said jacket;
- (d) a cutter head rotatably driven by said shank and having at least one cutting part pointing radially outward from said milling cutter, said cutting part being at a farthest radial distance from a longitudinal center axis of said milling cutter in one direction of rotation of said cutter head and being at a closest radial distance from said longitudinal center axis of said milling cutter in another direction of rotation of said milling cutter;
- (e) a rocker having one end adjacent to said shank of said milling cutter, said rocker rotating about said longitudinal axis of said milling cutter to shaft said cutting part from one position to another position;
- (f) a tool head adjacent to a second end of said rocker having a seating slot used to mount said cutting part in a radially movable and lockable position;
- (g) at least one steering bolt attached to a second end of said rocker and pointing in an axial direction, said steering bolt engaging at least one coordinated recess in said cutting part;
- and
- (h) a twist break disposed between said shank and said jacket to hold a twist position of said shank until said shank reverses direction of its rotation.
A milling cutter having a bidirectional feeding motion used to machine a large diameter plane surface in an area around through holes comprising:
- (a) a housing;
- (b) a jacket located within said housing;
- (c) a shank mounted inside said jacket;
- (d) a cutter head rotatably driven by said shank and having at least one cutting part pointing radially outward from said milling cutter, said cutting part being at a farthest radial distance from a longitudinal center axis of said milling cutter in one direction of rotation of said cutter head and being at a closet radial distance from said longitudinal center axis of said milling cutter in another direction of rotation of said milling cutter;
- (e) a rocker made of a cylindrical shaft having one end adjacent to said shank of said milling cutter and a second end having a plug-in coupling inserted into an end of said shank near said cutter head to axially detach and rotatably drive said rocker, said rocker mounted in a bore of a guide sleeve fixed to said housing to rotate about said longitudinal axis of said milling cutter to shift said cutting part from one position to another;
- (f) a tool head adjacent to said second end of said rocker having a seating slot to mount said cutting part in a radially movable and lockable position;
- (g) at least one steering bolt attached to a second end of said rocker and pointing in an axially direction, said steering bolt engaging at least one coordinated recess in said cutting part;
- (h) a twist brake disposed between said shank and said jacket to hold a twist position of said rotation of said shank in a position until said shank reverses directions of its rotation, said twist brake having a brake hoop connected to a positioning yoke cantilevered radially from said milling cutter with a component of said positioning yoke mounted inside said housing, said brake hoop having a center bore rotatably mounted in roller thrust bearings on said jacket and two mutually opposed holes disposed in an inner diameter of said center bore having a longitudinal direction and aligned tangentially to an outer diameter of said shaft, said mutually opposed holes partially intersecting an outer diameter of said shank;
- (i) a brake disc covering one of said mutually opposed holes from a radially outward position by partially intersecting said hole and partially projecting into an inner diameter of said hole;
- and
- (j) a brake wall axially and moveably inserted in to an inner diameter of said shank.
