FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention concerns a tool, such as for example a miller or suchlike,
for working wood and its derivatives. The tool comprises a support element, or body,
substantially cylindrical in shape, with which two or more cutting blades are radially
associated, and clamping devices to clamp the latter to the body of the tool. To be
more exact, each clamping device is able to maintain the nominal cutting diameter
of the tool constant, even with cutting blades having different shapes and cutting
diameters, after any sharpening operation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] It is known that tools for working wood and its derivatives normally comprise a support
element or body of the tool, provided radially with a plurality of housing seatings
inside which an equal number of cutting blades are disposed. To be more exact, each
cutting blade rests on a fixed shoulder made in the seating, and made so as to contrast
the force imparted on the cutting edge by the working.
[0003] In each of the seatings a thrust element called wedge is normally mounted; thrust
by a threaded grub screw, or drawn by a screw pressing on a plane rear surface of
the blade, it acts against a bottom surface and a plane front surface of the cutting
blade, keeping the latter positioned inside the relative seating.
[0004] Each cutting blade also has an upper surface, or back, shaped and inclined by a determinate
upper rake angle γ, so as to define the cutting profile of the blade. The front surface
and the back of the blade form a cutting angle β, normally less than 90° and defining
a cutting edge of the blade, by means of which the chip is removed. Moreover, the
radius of the support element that passes through the cutting edge of the blade defines
with the front surface a mordant angle α.
[0005] Cutting blades are sharpened by removing material from the front surface of the blade,
so as to restore the cutting edge, maintaining unchanged the cutting angle β. This
operation, however, entails a reduction in the height of the blade, with a consequent
proportional reduction in the cutting diameter of the tool, and a variation in the
mordant angle α.
[0006] Different solutions are known to recover the positioning in height of the cutting
blade, which generally provide that the bottom wall of the seating is inclined by
a constant recovery angle ε, or calculated according to the mordant angle α of the
blade, so that the wedge, sliding on the bottom surface, entails a proportional radial
movement of the cutting blade, thus recovering the nominal cutting diameter.
[0007] However, known solutions, precisely because they provide a constant recovery angle
ε, are reliable and precise only when the cutting blades have a single nominal diameter
along the cutting profile. In this way, however, the mordant angle α varies, after
sharpening, uniformly over the whole profile.
[0008] On the contrary, if the cutting blade is shaped, for example undulating, and has
a cutting profile with different nominal diameters, the calculated recovery angle
ε does not allow to recover all the diameters correctly, since the mordant angle α
varies, after sharpening, differently for every diameter, and therefore not uniformly,
thus entailing a progressive loss of precision of the tool.
[0009] A tool for working wood is also known, from the
US patent US-A-4,541,756, having a bottom surface resting directly on the bottom wall of the seating, and
inclined parallel to the upper surface, or back, of the tool, so as to define a cross
section substantially like a parallelogram. In this known solution, the tool is kept
with its front surface against a relative support element by means of a screw disposed
passing through the tool, screwed onto the support element, and acting on the plane
rear surface of the tool.
[0010] In this way, after every sharpening, by facing the front surface of the tool, the
position is recovered by the action of the screw element which, in cooperation with
the inclined bottom surface of the tool, also recovers the radial positioning of the
cutting edge.
[0011] In this known solution, the cutting angle β is substantially constant, however, also
in relation to different nominal diameters of the tool since the back of the cutting
edge remains substantially parallel to the recovery angle ε, which is fixed. This
solution determines a maximum limit to the variation of the nominal diameter in which
the upper surface of the cutting blade "trails", that is, it slides on the worked
surface of the wood and in any case determines a variation in the upper rake angle
γ, which is a decisive parameter for the correct removal of the chip during the working
step of the tool as the nominal diameter varies inside the cutting edge.
[0012] For all types of clamping, shaped cutting blades also have inclined lateral surfaces
with lateral rake angles ϕ, which define the lateral segments of the cutting profile
which go from one diameter to the other.
[0013] In this case, both the solution shown in
US-A-4,541,756, and also the other known solutions, also entail a progressive error in the axial
repositioning of the cutting profile, that is, along an axis parallel to the axis
of rotation of the tool, causing differences in the shapings made on the pieces of
wood, before and after sharpening.
[0014] These imprecisions in positioning are further accentuated when the cutting blades
form, with the axis of rotation of the tool, an axial angle δ. In this case, in fact,
the mordant angle α varies, not only because of the variation in diameter along the
cutting profile, but also because of the axial angle δ itself, since the radiuses
that define it are progressively more inclined according to the distance of the cutting
profile from the axis of rotation of the tool.
[0015] One purpose of the present invention is to achieve a tool for working wood and its
derivatives which, after the usual operations to sharpen the cutting blades, allows
to maintain all the expected nominal diameters precisely constant, and to axially
reposition the shaped cutting profile exactly in the original position, so that there
are no variations in the shaping made on the wood, before and after sharpening.
[0016] Another purpose of the present invention is to achieve a tool which allows to recover
with precision the positioning and nominal diameters of the cutting blades after they
have been sharpened, even if their disposition is provided with an axial angle δ.
[0017] The Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome
the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and
advantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0018] The present invention is set forth and characterized in the main claim, while the
dependent claims describe other characteristics of the invention or variants to the
main inventive idea.
[0019] In accordance with the above purpose, a tool for working wood and its derivatives
according to the present invention comprises at least a support element, substantially
cylindrical and provided peripherally with a plurality of radial housing seatings,
each able to house a cutting blade and associated clamping means.
[0020] Each of the radial housing seatings comprises a reference surface against which the
clamping means keeps the cutting blade clamped, and recovery means inclined by a recovery
angle ε with respect to the reference surface, such as for example an inclined bottom
surface, a lateral tongue, a guide pin, and with respect to which the clamping means
is able to slide after the operations to sharpen the cutting blade.
[0021] The cutting blade comprises at least an inclined upper surface and defining a determinate
cutting profile with at least an upper rake angle γ.
[0022] According to a characteristic feature of the present invention, the upper rake angle
γ is variable along the cutting profile, according to each nominal cutting diameter
of the tool, the recovery angle ε and each mordant angle α formed between the cutting
blade and a radius R of the support element passing through the cutting profile.
[0023] In this way, a correct and precise recovery is guaranteed of all the nominal diameters
of the cutting blade with a constant recovery angle ε, since the variability of the
rake angle γ allows a uniform variation of the mordant angles α of every nominal diameter
along the cutting profile, after the blade has been sharpened.
[0024] In the same way, even if an axial angle δ is provided between the cutting blade and
the axis of rotation of the support element, the rake angle γ is in any case variable
along the cutting profile, according to each mordant angle α, thus allowing to restore
the cutting diameter along all the cutting profile with a constant recovery angle
ε.
[0025] Moreover, the clamping means is conformed so as to keep the cutting blade clamped
with a plane rear surface against the reference surface of the radial housing seatings,
which gives the advantage of a wide contact surface between the blade and the tool
body, so that the forces imparted by the working process on the cutting edge are discharged
to a large extent onto the tool body, rather than transforming into shearing forces
on the cutting edge, as happens, on the contrary, in the embodiment described in
US-A-4,541,756.
[0026] In a preferential form of embodiment, the cutting blade also comprises at least a
lateral surface adjacent to the upper surface, inclined by a determinate lateral rake
angle ϕ and defining a lateral segment of the cutting profile. In this case, the cutting
blade also comprises at least a recovery surface inclined by a lateral recovery angle
ε
lat substantially equivalent to the lateral rake angle ϕ, and able to rest against an
abutment surface of the radial housing seating.
[0027] In this way, by taking the recovery surface, after sharpening, into contact with
the abutment surface of the radial housing seating, an axial displacement is determined
of the cutting blade with respect to the previous position, that is, along an axis
substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the support element.
[0028] Since the angle of lateral recovery ε
lat is substantially equivalent to the lateral rake angle ϕ, the axial displacement of
the cutting blade is substantially equivalent to the reduction in the lateral surface
of the cutting blade itself due to the sharpening, so that the original axial positioning
of the cutting blade can be restored, and there are no differences in shaping on the
wood worked, before and after the cutting blades have been sharpened.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERENTIAL FORM OF EMBODIMENT
[0030] With reference to the attached drawings, a tool 10 for working wood according to
the present invention, comprises a support element 11, substantially cylindrical,
rotary around an axis of rotation X and provided peripherally with a plurality of
housing seatings 12, in this case three, equal to each other and able to house inside
them a cutting blade 15 and a corresponding clamping device 16.
[0031] Each clamping device 16 comprises a thrust element 19 associated with an attachment
grub screw 17, to attach the cutting blade 15 inside the respective housing seating
12.
[0032] Each cutting blade 15 comprises a shaped cutting profile 30, by means of which the
chip is removed, a plane surface 25, a front surface 26, substantially parallel to
the plane surface 25, a bottom surface 27 which connects below the plane surface 25
to the front surface 26, and two upper surfaces, or backs 29, in this case substantially
horizontal, and each shaped with a determinate upper rake angle γ1, γ2. Each upper
back 29 is inclined with respect to the front surface 26 by determinate angles β1
and β2, or cutting angles of the blade 15.
[0033] The cutting profile 30 is sharpened by means of removing a thickness sp of material
from the front surface 26 of the cutting blade 15, so as not to vary the cutting angles
β1 and β2, but reducing the height of the cutting tool 15.
[0034] In this case, the cutting profile 30 has a first nominal cutting diameter D1 and
a second nominal cutting diameter D2, smaller than the first. Moreover, the cutting
blade 15 is provided with a surface, or lateral back 13, to connect the two diameters
D1 and D2, shaped with a determinate lateral rake angle ϕ. The lateral back 13 is
adjacent to the upper backs 29.
[0035] The cutting profile 30 is defined by the intersection edge between the backs 29 and
the back 13, with the front surface 26 of the cutting blade 15.
[0036] The front surface 26 of each cutting blade 15 is inclined by a mordant angle α1,
α2 with respect to a radius R of the support element 11, passing through the cutting
profile 30. The mordant angle α1, α2 is different along the cutting profile 30, according
to the nominal cutting diameter D1, D2 , and an axial angle δ (fig. 3).
[0037] As shown in figs. 4 to 6, in the case where the axial angle δ is nil, the cutting
blade 15 has a substantially square cutting profile 30 and therefore the upper 29
and lateral 13 backs define different segments with relative upper γ1, γ2 and lateral
ϕ rake angles. On the contrary, if the cutting profile 30 has an undulating development,
not shown, the upper 29 and lateral 13 backs and the relative upper γ1, γ2 and lateral
ϕ rake angles are interpolated so as to give continuity to the shaping curve defined
by the cutting profile 30.
[0038] Each cutting blade 15 also comprises a recovery surface 24 which laterally connects
the plane surface 25 to the front surface 26, and which is kept by the clamping device
16 in contact with an abutment, surface 23 of the housing seating 12. The recovery
surface 24 is inclined with respect to the front surface 26 by a lateral recovery
angle ε
lat substantially equivalent to the lateral rake angle ϕ of the lateral back 13, so that
after the removal of the thickness sp during sharpening, the cutting blade 15 is subjected,
once repositioned in the housing seating 12, to an axial displacement Δj along an
axis substantially parallel to the axis of rotation X of the support element 11.
[0039] The axial displacement Δj allows to recover axially the positioning of the cutting
profile 30 after sharpening of the cutting blade 15, so that there is uniformity of
shaping of the wood worked before and after the sharpening of the cutting blades 15.
[0040] Each housing seating 12 comprises a bottom surface 21, a reference surface 22 and
the abutment surface 23, which is substantially orthogonal to the axis of rotation
X of the support element 11.
[0041] The bottom surface 21 forms, as known for example from the
European patent application EP-A-1.418.031 in the name of the Applicant, an obtuse angle with the reference surface 22. The
amplitude of this obtuse angle is greater than 90° by a determinate recovery angle
ε.
[0042] In this way, the thrust element 19, sliding below on the bottom surface 21 of the
housing seating 12, progressively lifts the cutting blade 15 after every sharpening
by a determinate value of radial recovery Δh.
[0043] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method to produce
the tool 10 provides at least a calculation step in which the upper γ1, γ2 and lateral
ϕ rake angles are calculated so as to be variable along the cutting profile 30 according
to each nominal diameter D1 or D2 of the recovery angle ε and of each mordant angle
α1,α2 of the cutting blade 15.
[0044] This variability of the upper γ1, γ2 and lateral ϕ rake angles allows to recover
with precision the nominal diameters D1 and D2 with a constant recovery angle ε.
[0045] To give an example, in one segment of the cutting profile 30 with a mordant angle
α1 and a nominal diameter D1, the step to calculate the upper rake angle γ1 provides
the following substeps.
[0046] A first substep in which the initial coordinates (x1
init; y1
init) are calculated of the cutting profile 30 not yet sharpened, that is, still having
the maximum thickness. In this step, having a nominal cutting radius
![](https://data.epo.org/publication-server/image?imagePath=2009/28/DOC/EPNWB1/EP06114172NWB1/imgb0001)
and an initial mordant angle α1
init, the coordinates (xl
init; y1
init) are
![](https://data.epo.org/publication-server/image?imagePath=2009/28/DOC/EPNWB1/EP06114172NWB1/imgb0002)
and
![](https://data.epo.org/publication-server/image?imagePath=2009/28/DOC/EPNWB1/EP06114172NWB1/imgb0003)
[0047] A second substep in which the calculation is made of the final coordinates (x1
fin ; y1
fin) of the cutting profile 30, that is, with the minimum usable thickness after the
maximum sharpening. In this step, knowing the entity of the thickness sp removed during
sharpening, firstly the final coordinate x1
fin is calculated, adding to the initial coordinate x1
init the entity of the thickness sp [x1
fin=x1
init+sp]; subsequently the final mordant angle α1
fin is calculated, as arcsine of the ratio between the final coordinate x1
fin by the nominal cutting radius
![](https://data.epo.org/publication-server/image?imagePath=2009/28/DOC/EPNWB1/EP06114172NWB1/imgb0005)
and finally the final coordinate y1
fin is calculated with the equation
![](https://data.epo.org/publication-server/image?imagePath=2009/28/DOC/EPNWB1/EP06114172NWB1/imgb0006)
[0048] A third substep in which, by means of the equation Δh1= sp·tan(ε), the entity is
calculated of the radial recovery value Δh1 due to the recovery angle ε, and the thickness
sp removed during sharpening.
[0049] A fourth substep in which the values of variation (Δx1; Δy1) are calculated between
the initial coordinates (x1
init; y1
init) and the final coordinates (x1
fin; y1
fin). Thus, the value of variation Δx1 is equivalent to the thickness sp [Δx1=sp], while
the value of variation Δy1 appears from the difference between the initial coordinate
y1
init and the final coordinate y1
fin added to the value Δh1 of radial recovery, that is Δy1=y1
init-y1
fin+Δh1.
[0050] At this point, in a fifth substep, the upper rake angle γ1 is calculated by means
of the equation
![](https://data.epo.org/publication-server/image?imagePath=2009/28/DOC/EPNWB1/EP06114172NWB1/imgb0007)
[0051] In the same way, the upper rake angle γ2 is calculated, according to the diameter
D2, the recovery angle ε and the mordant angle α2, and the lateral rake angle ϕ of
the lateral back 13.
[0052] These steps to calculate the upper γ1, γ2 and lateral ϕ rake angles are equally valid
if the cutting blade 15 is disposed on the support element 11 inclined by an axial
angle δ (fig. 3) with respect to the axis of rotation X of the support element 11.
In fact, in this case, the difference between the mordant angles α, apart from the
possible variation in the nominal diameter D1 and D2, also depends on the progressive
distance of the cutting profile 30 from the axis of rotation X and therefore, according
to the invention, upper γ1, γ2 and, possibly, lateral ϕ rake angles are provided which
are proportionally different.
[0053] Advantageously, these calculations to obtain the upper γ1, γ2 and, possibly, lateral
ϕ rake angles are effected automatically by a profiling machine which produces the
cutting blade 15.
[0054] In the form of embodiment shown in fig. 7, on the bottom surface 27 of the cutting
blade 15 there is a positioning seating 31 provided with an inner surface 32 inclined
with respect to the front surface 26 of the lateral recovery angle ε
lat, which is kept by the clamping device 16, in cooperation with a fixed abutment element
33, disposed transverse inside the housing seating 12, such as for example a pin 34,
a screw or other.
[0055] In this way, it is possible to avoid working the recovery surface 24, thus reducing
the production costs.
[0056] It is clear, however, that modifications and/or additions of parts may be made to
the tool 10 as described heretofore, without departing from the scope of the present
invention.
[0057] For example, according to a variant, instead of the threaded grub screw 17 a threaded
screw stud may be provided, having the longitudinal axis substantially parallel to
the front surface 26 of the cutting blade 15, and provided with a wedge profile, or
ogive, by means of which pressure can be exerted on the thrust element 19 in order
to take the cutting blade 15 against the reference surface 22, and keep the recovery
surface 24 against the abutment surface 23 and possibly the inner surface 32 against
the abutment element 33.
[0058] Moreover, according to the width of the cutting blade 15, instead of only one threaded
grub screw 17, it is possible to provide several grub screws 17, to improve the pressure
and grip of the thrust element 19 against the cutting blade 15.
[0059] According to a variant, the positioning seating 31 is made open on one side in correspondence
with the recovery surface 24.
[0060] It also comes within the scope of the present invention to provide that instead of
the bottom surface 21 there may be a guide element, not shown, such as for example
a lateral tongue, a pin or suchlike, inclined by the recovery angle ε with respect
to the reference surface 22, and able to guide the thrust element 19 and/or the cutting
blade 15 during the steps of radial recovery of the value Δh.
