[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an easy-to-disassemble thread milling cutter for machining aero-engines includes a tool holder 1 and a detachable cutter head assembly 2 located above the tool holder 1. A connecting component 3 is provided between the cutter head assembly 2 and the tool holder 1, and the connecting component 3 is located at the bottom of the cutter head assembly 2.

[0025] The connecting component 3 includes a support rod 305 fixed to the bottom of the cutter head assembly 2, and a liftable mounting part 301 is sleeved on the outside of the support rod 305. A limiting plate 306 with a diameter larger than the support rod 305 is fixedly provided below the mounting part 301, and a connecting screw hole 304 is fixedly opened in the middle of the mounting part 301.

[0026] A connector 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the tool holder 1, and a fixing screw 5 is threaded onto the surface of the connector 4. After the tool head assembly 2 is inserted into the connector 4, the fixing screw 5 is screwed into the connecting screw hole 304 of the mounting part 301 to fix the tool head assembly 2. This allows the tool head assembly 2 to be disassembled and separated, and different tool head assemblies 2 can be replaced as needed, reducing the cost of use. Example 2

[0027] In addition to all the technical features included in Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes:

[0028] The fixing screw 5 passes through the plug-in base 4 and is threaded into the connecting screw hole 304. The plug-in base 4 is provided with a support plate 308. The support plate 308 has a mounting groove 307 that matches the shape of the mounting part 301. The mounting groove 307 on the support plate 308 allows the mounting part 301 to pass through the mounting groove 307 and enter the underside of the support plate 308. After rotating the mounting part 301, the mounting part 301 and the mounting groove 307 form a cross-shaped structure, which can prevent the mounting part 301 from falling out of the mounting groove 307.

[0029] A support spring 303 is provided above the mounting component 301, and the support spring 303 is sleeved on the outside of the support rod 305. The mounting component 301 slides on the support rod 305, and the support spring 303 can provide a certain adjustment space for the mounting component 301.

[0030] The support rod 305 is also provided with guide slide rods 302 on both the front and rear sides, and the guide slide rods 302 penetrate through the interior of the mounting part 301. The guide slide rods 302 can limit the movement direction of the mounting part 301, so that the mounting part 301 can only move in a straight line. Example 3

[0031] In addition to all the technical features included in Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes:

[0032] The cutter head assembly 2 includes a cutter head body 201 fixed to the top of the support rod 305, and the upper and lower ends of the support spring 303 are respectively fixed to the cutter head body 201 and the mounting part 301. Since the support spring 303 is fixed to the cutter head body 201 and the mounting part 301, the distance between the mounting part 301 and the cutter head body 201 can be adjusted.

[0033] The cutter head body 201 has a threaded groove 203 on its surface, and a chip removal groove 202 is formed on the surface of the threaded groove 203. The chip removal groove 202 has several equally spaced and evenly distributed liquid outlet holes 204. The bottom of the cutter head body 201 has a liquid inlet hole. After the coolant enters through the liquid inlet hole, a connecting groove is formed between the liquid inlet hole and the liquid outlet hole 204, so that the coolant is discharged outward from the liquid outlet hole 204 to cool down the cutter head body 201.

[0034] The bottom of the tool holder 1 is provided with an internal cooling hole 8, and two sets of liquid guiding grooves 7 are connected above the internal cooling hole 8. The end of the liquid guiding groove 7 is provided with a connecting pipe 6 fixed on the support plate 308, and the connecting pipe 6 passes through the inside of the liquid inlet groove hole. The coolant enters the liquid guiding groove 7 from the inside of the internal cooling hole 8, and enters the liquid inlet groove hole through the connecting pipe 6 at the top of the liquid guiding groove 7, thereby realizing the cooling of the milling cutter. The internal cooling hole 8, the liquid inlet groove hole, the liquid guiding groove 7 and the liquid outlet hole 204 are all realized by the existing internal cooling hole machining method of drill bit, which will not affect the overall strength of the milling cutter. This is a common technical means in the industry and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Working principle: When using this easy-to-disassemble thread milling cutter for aero-engine machining, after the cutter head assembly 2 is inserted into the connector 4, the mounting part 301 is aligned with the mounting groove 307. At this time, the top of the connecting pipe 6 abuts against the bottom of the cutter head body 201, and the support spring 303 is compressed inward. The mounting part 301 is located in the mounting groove 307 and passes through the mounting groove 307, entering below the support plate 308. Rotating the mounting part 301, the mounting part 301 and the mounting groove 307 form a cross-shaped structure. At this time, the connecting pipe 6 is matched with the position of the liquid inlet hole, and the connecting pipe 6 is inserted into the interior of the liquid inlet hole. This allows the top of the support plate 308 to abut against the bottom of the cutter head body 201. Then, the fixing screw 5 is screwed into the connecting screw hole 304 of the mounting part 301 to fix the cutter head assembly 2. This allows the cutter head assembly 2 to be disassembled and separated, and different cutter head assemblies 2 can be replaced as needed, reducing the cost of use. The coolant enters the liquid guide groove 7 from the inside of the internal cooling hole 8 and enters the liquid inlet groove hole through the connecting pipe 6 at the top of the liquid guide groove 7. Since a connecting groove is set between the liquid inlet groove hole and the liquid outlet hole 204, the coolant is discharged outward from the liquid outlet hole 204 to cool and reduce the temperature of the cutter head body 201.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0037] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
