Abstract

The cutting insert is provided with: a top surface, a bottom surface, a side surface, a cutting edge located at the intersection portion of the top surface and the side surface; a through hole located from the top surface to the bottom surface; a projecting portion extending from a corner section to a through hole side; and a rake surface located between the cutting edge and the projecting portion. A boundary line between the rake surface and the projecting portion comprises a first end. In a top view, a bisector of the corner section intersects the cutting edge at a first point and intersects a top edge section of the through-hole at a second point. The first end is located closer to the through-hole side than a perpendicular line that passes through a midpoint of a line segment connecting the first point and the second point.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cutting insert comprising:
a polygonal top surface;
a bottom surface;
a side surface in contact with the top surface and the bottom surface;
a cutting edge located at an intersection portion of the top surface and the side surfaces, and including at least a corner section of the top surface;
a through-hole located from the top surface to the bottom surface;
a projecting portion located on the top surface between the corner section and the through-hole; and
a rake surface located between the cutting edge and the projecting portion;
wherein
a boundary line is located between the rake surface and the projecting portion, and comprises a first end on a through-hole side,
in a top view, a bisector of the corner section:
intersects the cutting edge at a first point; and
intersects a top edge section of the through-hole at a second point,

the first end is located between the through-hole and a perpendicular line that passes through a midpoint of a line segment connecting the first point and the second point,
the rake surface comprises:
a first rake surface in contact with the cutting edge; and
a second rake surface between the projecting portion and the first rake surface,

the first rake surface inclines downward from the cutting edge toward the second rake surface in a first cross section perpendicular to the bisector;
a height of the second rake surface, remains the same, relative to the bottom surface, between the first rake surface and the projecting portion in the first cross section, and
the second rake surface inclines downward toward the through hole in a second cross section parallel to the bisector.

2. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
a length of the line segment is defined as L 1 ,
a length between the first end and the first point in a direction parallel to the bisector is defined as L 2 , and
a ratio L 2 /L 1 is from 60 to 85%.

3. The cutting insert according to claim 2 , wherein
the projecting portion comprises an end on the bisector between the through-hole and the perpendicular line,
a length between the end of the projecting portion and the first point is defined as L 3 , and
a ratio L 3 /L 1 is from 65 to 90%.

4. The cutting insert according to claim 3 , wherein the length L 2 is shorter than the length L 3 .

5. The cutting insert according to claim 4 , wherein a ratio L 2 /L 3 of the length L 2 to the length L 3 is from 70 to 95%.

6. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , further comprising a wall section that:
is located between the projecting portion and the top edge section of the through-hole;
inclines downward from the top edge section of the through-hole toward the cutting edge;
has a width greater than zero in the top view; and
is connected to the side surface.

7. The cutting insert according to claim 6 , wherein the width of the wall section is the smallest on the line segment in the top view.

8. The cutting insert according to claim 6 , wherein a distance between the wall section and the perpendicular line increases as a distance from the bisector increases.

9. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein in the top view, the first rake surface and the second rake surface each have a width in a direction perpendicular to the line segment, and each width is wider on the through-hole side than in the corner section.

10. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the projecting portion comprises an end on the bisector between the through-hole and the perpendicular line,
a length between the end of the projecting portion and the first point is defined as L 3 , and
a height of the projecting portion relative to the bottom surface gradually decreases toward the through-hole at a position 30% to 80% from the corner section with respect to the length L 3 .

11. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the top edge section of the through-hole is recessed downward in the second point.

12. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the projecting portion has a first height which is a maximum height relative to the bottom surface,
the corner section has a second height relative to the bottom surface, and
the first height is larger than the second height by 0.05 mm or less.

13. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein an angle of inclination of the projecting portion is from 20 to 45° in the first cross section.

14. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the projecting portion comprises two inclined flat surfaces, and an intersecting ridge portion where the two inclined planer surfaces intersect.

15. The cutting insert according to claim 14 , wherein the intersecting ridge portion has a round curved surface shape.

16. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the projecting portion has a first height which is a maximum height relative to the bottom surface,
the corner section has a second height relative to the bottom surface, and
the first height is not larger than the second height.

17. A cutting tool comprising:
a holder; and
the cutting insert according to claim 1 located on a tip side of the holder.

18. A method for manufacturing a machined product, comprising:
rotating a workpiece;
bringing the cutting edge of the cutting insert of the cutting tool according to claim 17 into contact with the rotating workpiece; and
separating the cutting tool from the workpiece.
