Abstract

A cutting insert based on a non-limiting aspect has a first member and a second member joined to the first member. The second member has an upper surface and a side surface adjacent to the upper surface. The upper surface includes a first side, a second side and a corner. The upper surface has a first convex portion extending toward the corner, and a second convex portion extending from the first convex portion toward the first side. The second convex portion has a first end portion and a second end portion located closer to the corner than the first end portion. A first length from the first end to the first side is less than a second length from the second end portion to the first side in a top view.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cutting insert comprising:
a first member; and
a second member joined to the first member, wherein
the second member comprising
an upper surface including a first side, a second side, and a corner positioned between the first side and the second side, and
a side surface adjacent to the upper surface,

the upper surface comprising
a first convex portion extending toward the corner, and
a second convex portion extending from the first convex portion toward the first side,

the first convex portion comprises:
a first portion facing to the corner;
a second portion facing to the first side; and
a third portion positioned between the first portion and the second portion,

the second convex portion comprising
a first end portion, and
a second end portion located closer to the corner than the first end portion,

a first length from the first end portion to the first side is less than a second length from the second end portion to the first side in a top view,
a first straight line is an imaginary straight line that passes through a center point of the corner and is orthogonal to a bisecting line of the corner, and
a third length from the first straight line to the third portion is less than a fourth length from the first straight line to the second end portion in the top view.

2. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the second convex portion comes close to the first side as the second convex portion moves away from the corner in the top view.

3. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein second convex portion is positioned lower than an upper end of the first convex portion.

4. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the second convex portion is positioned lower than an upper end of the third portion.

5. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the first portion has a flat shape, and
the third portion faces to the corner and has a convex curved shape in the top view.

6. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the third portion is inclined upward as the third portion moves away from the corner, and comprises:
a first part; and
a second part located farther from the corner than the first part,

the second convex portion comprises a first inclined surface inclined upward as the second convex portion moves away from the first side,
the second member further comprises a lower surface positioned opposite to the upper surface,
the first convex portion further comprises an end surface having a flat shape and positioned furthest from the lower surface,
a reference plane is parallel to the end surface and is located between the upper surface and the lower surface,
a first angle of the first part with respect to the reference plane and a second angle of the second part with respect to the reference plane are smaller than a third angle of the first inclined surface with respect to the reference plane.

7. The cutting insert according to claim 6 , wherein the first angle is smaller than the second angle.

8. The cutting insert according to claim 6 , wherein the second convex portion is positioned lower than a lower end of the second part.

9. The cutting insert according to claim 6 , wherein the first part and the second part are both convex curved surfaces.

10. The cutting insert according to claim 6 ,
wherein the second portion is inclined upward as the second portion moves away from the first side, and comprises:
a third part; and
a fourth part located farther from the first side than the third part, and

the third angle is larger than a fourth angle of the third part with respect to the reference plane and a fifth angle of the fourth part with respect to the reference plane.

11. The cutting insert according to claim 10 , wherein the fourth angle is smaller than the fifth angle.

12. The cutting insert according to claim 10 , wherein the second convex portion is positioned lower than a lower end of the fourth part.

13. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the second member further comprises a lower surface positioned opposite to the upper surface,
the first convex portion comprises:
an end surface having a flat surface and positioned adjacent to the second portion and furthest away from the lower surface; and
a ridge line defined by the end surface and the second portion, and

a sixth angle between the ridge line and the bisecting line of the corner is larger than a seventh angle between a line connecting the first end portion and the second end portion of the second convex portion and the bisecting line of the corner in the top view.

14. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein,
a first imaginary line is a straight line that passes through a boundary between the corner and the first side and that is perpendicular to the first side in the top view, and
the second convex portion is positioned across the first imaginary line in the top view.

15. A cutting tool comprising:
the cutting insert according to claim 1 ; and
a holder into which the cutting insert is attached.

16. A cutting insert comprising:
a first member; and
a second member joined to the first member, wherein
the second member comprising
an upper surface including a first side, a second side, and a corner positioned between the first side and the second side, and
a side surface adjacent to the upper surface,

the upper surface comprising
a first convex portion extending toward the corner, and
a second convex portion extending from the first convex portion toward the first side,

the second convex portion comprising
a first end portion, and
a second end portion located closer to the corner than the first end portion,

a first length from the first end portion to the first side is less than a second length from the second end portion to the first side in a top view,
the second member further comprises a lower surface positioned opposite to the upper surface,
the first convex portion comprises an end surface having a flat surface and positioned furthest from the lower surface
the upper surface further comprises:
an edge located along the first side, the second side and the corner and
a second inclined surface positioned between the end surface and the edge and inclined with respect to the end surface, and

the second inclined surface comprises grooves each extending in a direction inclined with respect to the first side in the top view.

17. The cutting insert according to claim 16 , wherein at least one of the grooves is connected to the first side.

18. The cutting insert according to claim 16 , wherein at least one of the grooves extends to the end surface.
