[0002] Milling cutters are widely used cutting tools in machining and play an extremely important role in the field of metal processing.

[0003] End mills are typically made of materials such as high-speed steel or cemented carbide, possessing high hardness and wear resistance to ensure they can withstand enormous pressure and friction during cutting while maintaining good cutting performance. They come in a variety of shapes and structures, with common types including cylindrical end mills, face mills, end mills, and ball end mills.

[0004] Many milling cutters use a welded connection between the cutting edge and the cutter body. When the cutting edge needs to be replaced, specialized equipment and processes must be used to break the original welded connection. This not only requires operators to have extensive welding knowledge and skills, but also requires a lot of time for equipment preparation, preheating, cutting, and subsequent cleaning. Moreover, the slightest carelessness during this process may damage the cutter body, causing the entire milling cutter to be scrapped, increasing cost risks and reducing the flexibility of the equipment.

[0029] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Example

[0030] Combination Figures 1 to 6 A milling cutter with easy-to-replace milling cutter edge includes a milling cutter shank 1, an internal spline 3 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the milling cutter shank 1, a replacement mechanism 4 provided on the outside of the internal spline 3, a reinforcing mechanism 5 provided on one side of the replacement mechanism 4, and a cutting edge 2 provided at the bottom of the replacement mechanism 4.

[0031] The replacement mechanism 4 includes a fixed frame 41, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the inner spline 3. A right-angle plate 42 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed frame 41 away from the inner spline 3. A threaded rod 43 is rotatably connected inside the right-angle plate 42. A threaded plate 44 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 43. A locking block 45 is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded plate 44. A support base 46 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner spline 3. A fixed block 48 is fixedly connected to the outside of the blade 2. A movable plate 47 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed block 48. An outer spline 49 is fixedly connected to the top of the blade 2.

[0032] Furthermore, the threaded rod 43 is rotatably connected to the side of the support base 46 away from the inner spline 3, and a torsion sleeve is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 43 away from the support base 46, so that the threaded rod 43 can be rotated through the torsion sleeve.

[0033] Furthermore, the threaded plate 44 has a sliding opening inside, and the threaded plate 44 is slidably connected to the outside of the right angle plate 42 through the sliding opening to limit the movement of the threaded plate 44.

[0034] Furthermore, the movable plate 47 is movably connected to the inside of the fixed frame 41, and the outer spline 49 engages with the inner ring of the inner spline 3 to support and limit the blade 2.

[0035] Furthermore, a movable opening is provided on the side of the fixed frame 41 away from the inner spline 3, and the locking block 45 passes through the movable opening and moves, so that the locking block 45 can move through the movable opening.

[0036] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the outer side of the movable plate 47, and a locking block 45 is movably connected to the inner wall of the slot, so that the locking block 45 can limit the movable plate 47 through the slot. Example

[0037] See Figures 1 to 6 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the reinforcement mechanism 5 further includes a fixing groove 51, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the inner spline 3. A spring 52 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove 51. A slider 53 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 52 away from the fixing groove 51. A connecting block 54 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 53. A push shaft 56 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 53 away from the connecting block 54. An inner spline 55 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 54 away from the slider 53. An outer spline 57 engages with the inner ring of the inner spline 55. While realizing the disassembly function, it also has good stability performance.

[0038] Furthermore, the slider 53 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed groove 51. A slot is provided on one side of the fixed groove 51, and the push shaft 56 passes through the slot and moves, so that the push shaft 56 can move through the slot.

[0039] Furthermore, a movable opening is provided on one side of the fixed groove 51, and the external spline 57 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 43. The connecting block 54 passes through the movable opening, so that the connecting block 54 can be moved through the movable opening.

[0040] In actual operation, when this device is used for a long time, if it is necessary to disassemble and replace the blade 2, the push shaft 56 can be moved first, so that the push shaft 56 can drive the slider 53 to move and compress the spring 52. The slider 53 can also drive the inner spline 2 55 to move through the connecting block 54, so that the inner spline 2 55 no longer meshes with the outer spline 2 57, and the limitation on the threaded rod 43 is removed, thus facilitating the further disassembly of the blade 2. At the same time, under the mutual meshing and cooperation of the outer spline 2 57 and the inner spline 2 55, the blade 2 can be disassembled while also achieving good stability, so that the blade 2 can work better.

[0041] After the rotation limit on the threaded rod 43 is removed, the torsion sleeve can be rotated to drive the threaded rod 43 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 43 and the threaded plate 44 are threadedly connected, and the threaded plate 44 can slide and limit the rotation on the outside of the right-angle plate 42, the rotational motion of the threaded rod 43 will be converted into the linear motion of the threaded plate 44. The threaded plate 44 can drive the locking block 45 to be pulled out from the inside of the movable plate 47, thus removing the limit on the movable plate 47. Then, the movable plate 47 can be pulled out from the inside of the fixed frame 41 through the blade 2 and the fixing block 48. At the same time, the outer spline 49 can be pulled out from the inside of the inner spline 3, thus achieving the disassembly of the blade 2. Similarly, the purpose of installing the blade 2 can also be achieved. When it is necessary to replace the blade 2, it is not necessary to use professional equipment and processes to damage the original welded connection. At the same time, it is not required that the operator has extensive welding knowledge and skills, reducing the time spent, improving operating efficiency, reducing cost risks, and enhancing the flexibility of the device.
