Abstract

According to the present disclosure, a cutting insert includes an upper surface having a polygonal shape and includes a corner, a side surface adjacent to the upper surface, a cutting edge and a protrusion. The cutting edge is located at a ridge part in which the upper surface intersects with the side surface and includes a corner part located at the corner. The protrusion is located on the upper surface. The protrusion includes a first protrusion on a bisector of the corner in a top view. The protrusion further includes a second protrusion adjacent to the first protrusion in a direction orthogonal to the bisector. The second protrusion is closer to the corner than the first protrusion in the top view.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cutting insert, comprising:
an upper surface having a polygonal shape and comprising a corner;
a side surface adjacent to the upper surface;
a cutting edge located at a ridge part in which the upper surface intersects with the side surface and comprising a corner part located at the corner; and
a protrusion located on the upper surface, comprising:
a first protrusion located on a bisector of the corner in a top view;
a second protrusion adjacent to the first protrusion in a direction orthogonal to the bisector in the top view; and
a third protrusion; and
wherein
the second protrusion is closer to the corner than the first protrusion in the top view;
the first protrusion is located between the second protrusion and the third protrusion in the direction orthogonal to the bisector in the top view, and
the first protrusion is closer to the corner than the third protrusion in the top view.

2. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the second protrusion is taller than the first protrusion.

3. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the second protrusion and the third protrusion are taller than the first protrusion.

4. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the upper surface comprises a recess located along the cutting edge, and
a tip of the first protrusion, a tip of the second protrusion, and a tip of the third protrusion are located at the recess.

5. The cutting insert according to claim 4 , wherein
the first protrusion is positioned lower than the cutting edge.

6. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the second protrusion and the third protrusion extends toward more inside the upper surface than the first protrusion in the top view.

7. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the upper surface further comprises a first surface and a second surface which are located more inside than the protrusion and which are inclined upward as going away from the corner,
the first surface and the second surface are located sequentially from a side close to the second protrusion in the direction orthogonal to the bisector in the top view,
an upper edge of the second surface is inclined and getting away from the corner as going from a second protrusion side toward a third protrusion side in the direction orthogonal to the bisector in the top view, and
an angle θ 1 formed by the upper edge of the second surface and a straight line X orthogonal to the bisector is larger than an angle θ 2 formed by the straight line X and an imaginary straight line connecting a top of the second protrusion and a top of the third protrusion in the top view.

8. The cutting insert according to claim 7 , wherein
a distance in a direction parallel to the bisector between the top of the third protrusion and the upper edge of the second surface is larger than a distance in a direction parallel to the bisector between the top of the second protrusion and the upper edge of the second surface.

9. The cutting insert according to claim 8 , wherein
each of the first protrusion, the second protrusion, and the third protrusion is positioned lower than the upper edge of the second surface.

10. The cutting insert according to claim 7 , wherein
an upper edge of the first surface is inclined and getting away from the corner as going from the second protrusion side toward the third protrusion side in the direction orthogonal to the bisector in the top view, and
an angle θ 3 formed by the upper edge of the first surface and the straight line X is equal to the angle θ 2 in the top view.

11. The cutting insert according to claim 10 , wherein
each of the first protrusion, the second protrusion, and the third protrusion is positioned lower than the upper edge of the first surface.

12. The cutting insert according to claim 7 , wherein
an inclination angle θ 4 of the second surface decreases and an inclination angle θ 5 of the first surface is constant as going from the second protrusion side toward the third protrusion side in the direction orthogonal to the bisector.

13. A cutting tool, comprising:
a holder comprising an insert pocket; and
a cutting insert according to claim 1 , the cutting insert being attached to the insert pocket with the cutting edge protruding outward beyond the holder.

14. A method of manufacturing a machined product, comprising:
rotating a workpiece;
bringing the cutting edge in a cutting tool according to claim 13 into contact with the workpiece being rotated; and
separating the cutting tool from the workpiece.

15. A cutting insert, comprising:
an upper surface having a polygonal shape and comprising a corner;
a side surface adjacent to the upper surface;
a cutting edge located at a ridge part in which the upper surface intersects with the side surface and comprising a corner part located at the corner; and
a protrusion located on the upper surface, comprising:
a first protrusion located on a bisector of the corner in a top view; and
a second protrusion adjacent to the first protrusion in a direction orthogonal to the bisector in the top view, and
wherein
the second protrusion is closer to the corner than the first protrusion in the top view, and
the second protrusion is taller than the first protrusion.

16. The cutting insert according to claim 15 , wherein
the protrusion further comprises a third protrusion,
the first protrusion is located between the second protrusion and the third protrusion in the direction orthogonal to the bisector in the top view, and
the first protrusion is closer to the corner than the third protrusion in the top view.

17. The cutting insert according to claim 16 , wherein
each of the second protrusion and the third protrusion are taller than the first protrusion.

18. A cutting tool, comprising:
a holder comprising an insert pocket; and
a cutting insert according to claim 15 , the cutting insert being attached to the insert pocket with the cutting edge protruding outward beyond the holder.

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