Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thread milling cutters, in particular to a thread milling cutter with a replaceable cutter head. Background Art
[0002] A milling cutter is a rotating tool with one or more teeth used for milling. Each tooth sequentially and intermittently removes the workpiece's excess material. Milling cutters are primarily used on milling machines to machine flat surfaces, steps, grooves, formed surfaces, and cut-offs. Spiral milling cutters are used for machining flat surfaces on horizontal milling machines. The teeth are distributed around the cutter's circumference and are categorized by tooth shape: straight or helical. The number of teeth is categorized by coarse or fine.
[0003] After searching, a Chinese patent with publication number CN217253136U discloses a thread milling cutter with a replaceable cutter head. It solves the problem that the cutter head and the cutter rod of a general spiral milling cutter are integrated. When one of the cutter head or the cutter rod is damaged, it often needs to be replaced as a whole, which increases the cost of use and causes waste. In addition, there is a lack of positioning reference during installation, which affects the installation efficiency.
[0004] However, this device requires the use of bolts to fix the milling cutter. The fixation with bolts will generate heat due to friction during the long-term use of the milling cutter, causing the bolts to expand, making it difficult to remove the bolts, or causing the bolts to break inside the arbor, which can easily lead to damage to both the arbor and the milling cutter.
[0005] Therefore, a new solution needs to be proposed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
