[0002] The side milling head is a machine tool accessory. After the machine tool is equipped with the milling head, the tool rotation centerline can be angled with the spindle rotation centerline to process the workpiece. Originating in Europe, it is now widely used in various fields of mechanical processing such as aviation, automobiles, and molds. Using the side milling head, the processing range and adaptability of the machine tool can be increased without changing the machine tool structure, making some processing that is difficult to complete with traditional methods possible, reducing repeated clamping of the workpiece, and improving processing accuracy and efficiency.

[0003] The existing side milling head is generally installed on the spindle directly through the broaching device in the machine tool, and then a limit device is set on the spindle seat to prevent the side milling head housing from rotating with the spindle. This method will make the weight of the side milling head entirely borne by the spindle. During machining, the spindle not only has to bear the weight of the side milling head itself, but also has to bear the lateral cutting force during machining, which can easily lead to spindle wear or reduced accuracy.

[0011] Preferably, the front end face of the rotating shaft is provided with an end face key.

[0012] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the present invention installs the shell onto the shaft seat of the machine tool spindle through the installation component, so that part of the side milling head's own weight and the lateral cutting force generated during processing are transferred to the shaft seat of the machine tool spindle, reducing the burden on the spindle, reducing the wear of the spindle, effectively improving the accuracy and service life of the spindle, and making installation more convenient.
