Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to tools; more particularly, it relates to a tool for making a threaded hole in metal and other materials.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In machining of metals and other materials, there are many applications where it is desirable to make a hole and thread it with a single tool. The single tool for hole making and threading is needed not only for through holes but also for blind holes in a workpiece. The advantage of such a tool is that it reduces the number of motions or operations required to produce a threaded hole; it is especially advantageous in conjunction with high speed machining operations.
In the prior art, it is known to use a single tool for drilling a hole and forming internal threads by swaging or coining the metal. A tool of this kind is disclosed in the Barth U.S. Pat. No. 2,703,419 granted Mar. 8, 1955.Iadd., .Iaddend.which describes a swaging tap having a drill or end mill on the leading end thereof to cut the hole which is to be threaded. This tool is rotated and the hole is cut and threaded on the inward feed of the tool and the tool is unscrewed from the threaded hole. A similar tool is disclosed in the Grenell U.S. Pat. No. 4,271,554 granted Jun. 9, 1981. In tools of this kind, the maximum diameter of the swaging tap must be larger than the maximum diameter of the drill or end mill. Further, as described in the Grenell patent, the minor diameter of the female threads is smaller than the diameter of the drilled hole and the major diameter of the threads is larger than the diameter of the drilled hole.
A general object of this invention is to provide a combined hole making and threading tool which may be used for both through holes and blind holes and which lends itself to high speed machining.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with this invention, a tool is provided for making a hole in a workpiece on the inward feed of the tool and for threading the hole during retraction of the tool or alternatively during further inward feed of the tool. This is accomplished by a tool .[.comprising.]. .Iadd.having .Iaddend.an elongated straight body with a shank at one end, a hole making means at the other end and a thread making means intermediate the ends. The hole making means, such as a drill point, is operative by rotation about the tool axis and the thread making means, such as a threadform mill, is operative by helical motion of the tool combined with rotation about the tool axis. The thread making means has a maximum diameter equal to the maximum diameter of the hole making means whereby the thread making means can enter the hole without interference. Further, the invention .[.comprises.]. .Iadd.includes .Iaddend.a tool having a thread making means for making female threads with a crest or minor diameter no smaller than the diameter of the hole formed by the hole making means. .[.Further, the.]. .Iadd.The .Iaddend.invention .[.comprises.]. .Iadd.further includes .Iaddend.a thread-form .[.mill. Further,.]. .Iadd.mill end .Iaddend.the body of the tool includes a chip removal passage.
A complete understanding of this invention may be obtained from the detailed description that follows taken with the accompanying drawings.

.[.BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION.]. .Iadd.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT .Iaddend.
Referring now to the drawings, there is shown an illustrative embodiment of the invention in a combination tool .[.comprising.]. .Iadd.including .Iaddend.a drill point and a thread-form mill for hole making and thread making. It will be appreciated as the description proceeds that the inventive tool may be embodied in different forms for use in a wide variety of applications.
The tool 10 of this invention is shown in a perspective view in FIG. 1. It .[.comprises.]. .Iadd.has.Iaddend., in general, an elongated rectilinear body including a shank 12 at one end which is provided with a suitable fitting, of conventional design, for engagement by a tool holder of a machine tool. The tool 10 also .[.comprises.]. .Iadd.includes .Iaddend.the hole making means in the form of a drill point 14 at the forward end and a thread making means, in the form of a thread-form mill 16 intermediate the drill point 14 and the shank 12. The tool 10 is made of a material selected in accordance with the selected workpiece application and is suitably formed as a unitary body.
The drill point 14 at the forward end of the tool is of known design having a pair of cutting edges 22, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The drill point 14 has a maximum diameter D and is adapted for .[.right hand.]. .Iadd.right-hand .Iaddend.or clockwise rotation about the tool axis for hole drilling in a conventional manner.
The thread-form mill 16 is provided with a multiplicity of thread-form cutters 24 in a conventional manner. The tool has one or more flutes 26 extending from the drill point throughout the thread-form mill for the purpose of chip removal. Also, the tool is provided with a coolant passage 28 with branch passages 28a for supply of liquid under pressure to the drill point and to aid in chip removal.
In the thread-form mill 16, each of the cutters 24 is of annular configuration and the number of cutters 24 is preferably equal to or greater than the number of threads to be cut. Each cutter 24 .[.comprises.]. .Iadd.has .Iaddend.a number of cutter segments 24a, 24b, 24c and 24d which are circumferentially aligned and are separated by the intervening flutes. Each cutter segment has a cutting edge disposed on the leading end thereof in accordance with the direction of cutting rotation. The thread-form mill 16 is adapted for .[.right hand.]. .Iadd.right-hand .Iaddend.or clockwise rotation for cutting threads. The cutter segments of the thread-form mill have a maximum crest diameter which is equal to the maximum diameter of the drill point 14.
The tool 10 may be used in any CNC (computerized numerically controlled) machining center. .Iadd.Kearney & Trecker Corp., Data-Mill 700 CNC Milling Machine as disclosed in the article entitled High Speed Machining Could Burst On Scene, published in Iron Age, Apr. 27, 1981; Ex-Cell-O Inc., model 108B Workcenter-type machining center as disclosed in the above referenced article of Iron Age Magazine; Turchan Hydro-mills equipped with Bunker-Ramo BRC-3100 three axis-numerical control system as disclosed in an article entitled 6 at North American Rockwell Corporation, published in American Machinist, Feb. 10, 1969; and Extremon Horizontal Spindle Machining Centers with DC pulse width-modulated servo drives from CSR under the command of a Vega III CNC system that provided simultaneous three-axis interpolation, as disclosed in American Machinist Magazine in an article entitled Designing for High-Speed Machining, in May 1981. .Iaddend.Also, it may be used in a special machine tool adapted for using the tool of this invention. The hole making and thread making operations are as follows. For hole making, as shown in FIG. 3, the tool is rotated at the desired speed about its own longitudinal axis and the drill point 14 is advanced into the workpiece at the desired feed rate. When the desired hole depth is achieved, the feed is stopped but the tool rotation is continued. .[.The.]. .Iadd.An .Iaddend.axis 32 of the drilled hole 34 is indicated in FIG. 4. The tool is backed off sufficiently to provide the desired clearance for the drill point. Then, with the rotation continuing in the same direction, the thread milling portion of the cycle is commenced by imparting helical motion to the tool in the retracting direction. The longitudinal axis of the tool describes an orbital path 36 around the axis 32 of the drilled hole as shown in FIG. 4. While the tool 10 is rotated about its own longitudinal axis and moved in the orbital path 36, it is retracted axially to generate the helical motion to cut the desired threads. The tool executes one orbital revolution during axial retraction corresponding to one thread pitch. Preferably, more than one orbital revolution is imparted to the tool, for example about one and one-half revolutions, to ensure clean-cut threads. After the orbital motion is complete the tool is moved to align the axis thereof with the hole axis and then it is withdrawn. The same tool may be used for cutting .[.left hand.]. .Iadd.left-hand .Iaddend.threads by imparting counterclockwise orbital motion to it.
Although the description of this invention has been given with reference to a particular embodiment, it is not to be construed in a limiting sense. Many variations and modifications will now occur to those skilled in the art. For a definition of the invention reference is made to the appended claims.
