[0028] Example 1: A fixture for improving milling cutter life includes a fixed block 1. The rear end of the fixed block 1 can be connected to the machining device body, and the inner diameter of the front end of the fixed block 1 is larger than the inner diameter of the rear end of the fixed block 1. The front end of the fixed block 1 is provided with multiple moving grooves. By setting multiple moving grooves, the front end of the fixed block 1 can be divided into multiple area blocks, so that multiple area blocks can be deformed to a certain extent. The inner wall of the front end of the fixed block 1 is fixedly connected with multiple limiting blocks 8. The multiple limiting blocks 8 can slide into the limiting circular groove located on the outer wall of the front end of the clamping block 3, thereby limiting the clamping block 3. The front end of the fixed block 1 is provided with a clamping block 3, and the outer wall of the clamping block 3 is provided with multiple moving grooves. Multiple movable slots divide the front end of clamping block 3 into multiple regions, allowing each region to deform to a certain extent. A limiting circular groove is formed on the outer wall of the front end of clamping block 3. A rotating sleeve 2 is provided at the front end of clamping block 3, with the inner diameter of the front end of rotating sleeve 2 being smaller than the inner diameter of the rear end. By screwing the threaded groove 2 inside rotating sleeve 2 into the threaded groove 7 located on the outer wall of the front end of fixed block 1, rotating sleeve 2 can be connected to fixed block 1, causing multiple regions at the front end of fixed block 1 to deform. This allows multiple limiting blocks 8 to embed into the limiting circular groove, thereby limiting the clamping block 3. A milling cutter shank 4 is provided at the front end of rotating sleeve 2, with the front end of milling cutter shank 4 connected to a milling cutter. The outer wall of the front end of fixed block 1 is provided with threaded groove 7. The outer diameter of the middle part of clamping block 3 is larger than the outer diameters of both ends of clamping block 3. The size of the limiting block 8 is adapted to the circular groove located on the outer wall of the front end of clamping block 3, and the limiting circular groove is used to limit the clamping block 3. The inner wall of the rear end of the rotating sleeve 2 is provided with a second threaded groove that matches the first threaded groove 7.

[0029] Example 2:

[0030] As one of the optimized structural designs for Example 1, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, multiple limiting protrusions 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the milling cutter holder 4, and multiple limiting grooves 6 are opened on the inner wall of the clamping block 3. The dimensions of the limiting grooves 6 and the limiting protrusions 5 are adapted to each other. By setting multiple limiting protrusions 5 on the outer wall of the milling cutter holder 4 and the dimensions of the multiple limiting protrusions 5 are adapted to the dimensions of the multiple limiting grooves 6, the rotation of the milling cutter holder 4 during operation can be prevented, thereby ensuring the stability of the milling cutter during operation. When the front end of the clamping block 3 retracts inward, it can clamp the milling cutter holder 4, so that the multiple limiting protrusions 5 can fit tightly with the multiple limiting grooves 6.

[0031] Working principle: First, insert the rear end of the milling cutter shank 4 into the clamping block 3, and make the multiple limiting protrusions 5 on the outer wall of the milling cutter shank 4 basically located in the limiting grooves 6. Then, place the clamping block 3 on the rear end of the rotating sleeve 2, and align the rear end of the clamping block 3 with the front end of the fixed block 1. Then, screw the rotating sleeve 2 onto the outer wall of the front end of the fixed block 1. During the rotation, the rotating sleeve 2 pushes the clamping block 3 into the front end of the fixed block 1, causing the multiple area blocks at the front end of the fixed block 1 to expand. This causes the multiple limiting blocks 8 on the inner wall of the front end of the fixed block 1 to slide into the limiting circular grooves on the outer wall of the front end of the clamping block 3. Afterward, the multiple area blocks at the front end of the fixed block 1 contract and press the clamping block 3, causing the multiple area blocks at the front end of the clamping block 3 to contract together, thereby clamping the milling cutter shank 4. The multiple limiting protrusions 5 and the multiple limiting grooves 6 fit tightly together, thereby increasing the stability of the milling cutter during operation.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
