[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example, refer to Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides a robust milling cutter disc that facilitates cutter replacement, including a base 1, a fixed plate 2, bolts 3, bushings 4, a milling cutter 5, a cylinder assembly 6, and a snap-fit ​​component 7. The fixed plate 2 has screw holes at its four corners. The fixed plate 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1 by bolts 3. The fixed plate 2 is fitted with bushings 4, which are threaded together. The cylinder assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 2 and abuts against the snap-fit ​​component 7. The snap-fit ​​component 7 engages with the milling cutter 5.

[0022] In this preferred embodiment, the fixing plate 2 is securely fixed to the base 1 by bolts 3. The milling cutter 5 of the machine tool is threadedly placed inside the bushing 4. Then, the milling cutter 5, along with the bushing 4, is inserted into the fixing plate 2. The cylinder assembly 6 is activated, which drives the locking component 7 to lock the milling cutter 5, thereby fixing the milling cutter 5. Since the bushing 4 and the fixing plate 2 are on the same axis, quick tool setting can be achieved, allowing the operator to install the milling cutter 5 more quickly and accurately. When the milling cutter 5 needs to be replaced, the cylinder assembly 6 is activated to push the locking component 7 downward. Due to the release of the locking component 7, the clamping force on the milling cutter 5 is reduced. A person only needs to gently pull down to easily remove the milling cutter 5 and the bushing 4. Then, by rotating, the milling cutter 5 is removed from the bushing 4, thus completing the replacement of the milling cutter 5. The bushing 4 plays a buffering role during the operation of the milling cutter 5, preventing the two from directly contacting each other, thereby extending the service life of the milling cutter 5.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cylinder assembly 6 includes an air inlet 61, a cylinder 62, a piston 63, a sliding shaft 64, and a compression spring 65. The compression spring 65 is sleeved on the sliding shaft 64. The cylinder 62 is provided with an air inlet 61. The piston 63 is slidably connected to the cylinder 62. One end of the sliding shaft 64 is fixedly connected to the piston 63, and the other end of the sliding shaft 64 is slidably connected to the buckle member 7.

[0024] In this preferred embodiment, when compressed air enters the cylinder 62 through the air inlet 61, the piston 63 moves downward instantaneously, and the piston 63 pushes the sliding shaft 64 downward, at which time the compression spring 65 is compressed.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The snap-fit ​​component 7 includes a slot 71, two sets of brackets 72 and a snap-fit ​​73. The slot 71 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 2. The two sets of brackets 72 are slidably connected to the sliding shaft 64. The brackets 72 are slidably connected to the slot 71. The brackets 72 are fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​73. The snap-fit ​​73 engages with the milling cutter 5.

[0026] In this preferred embodiment, the buckle 73 holds and fixes the milling cutter 5. When it is necessary to remove the milling cutter 5, the cylinder is activated to move downward, which drives the two sets of brackets 72 to move downward. As the inner diameter of the slot 71 gradually increases, the clamping force generated by the two sets of brackets 72 decreases. Since the buckle 73 has an arc-shaped end face, the milling cutter 5 can be easily removed.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The end of the milling cutter 5 is provided with a thread that matches the bushing 4, and the end of the milling cutter 5 is provided with a self-locking ring groove 51.

[0028] In this preferred embodiment, both ends of the self-locking ring groove 51 are inclined surfaces, which facilitates the installation and removal of the milling cutter 5.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 The bushing 4 is made of metal, and metal is elastic.

[0030] In this preferred embodiment, because the bushing 4 is elastic, when it is installed in the fixed plate 2, it will cooperate with the conical surface of the fixed plate 2, thereby ensuring that the milling cutter 5 has a high positioning accuracy.

[0031] Reference Figure 6 The sliding shaft 64 has a sliding groove 721 for sliding the matching bracket 72.

[0032] In this preferred embodiment, the two sets of brackets 72 slide relative to each other in the slide groove 721 to clamp the milling cutter 5.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 The fixed plate 2 is provided with a first through cavity 21 and a conical groove 22.

[0034] In this preferred embodiment, a compression spring 65 is placed in the first cavity 21 so that the cylinder assembly 6 can return to its original state.

[0035] Working principle: The fixed plate 2 is firmly fixed to the base 1 by bolts 3. The milling cutter 5 of the machine tool is threaded and placed in the bushing 4. Then, the milling cutter 5 with the bushing 4 is inserted into the fixed plate 2. Because the bushing 4 is elastic, it will cooperate with the conical surface of the fixed plate 2 when it is installed in the fixed plate 2, thus ensuring that the milling cutter 5 has a high positioning accuracy. The buckle 73 locks and fixes the milling cutter 5. When it is necessary to remove the milling cutter 5, compressed air enters the cylinder 62 through the air inlet 61. The piston 63 moves downward instantly. The piston 63 pushes the sliding shaft 64 downward. At this time, the compression spring 65 is squeezed, which drives the two sets of brackets 72 to move downward. As the inner diameter of the slot 71 gradually increases, the clamping force generated by the two sets of brackets 72 decreases. Because the buckle 73 has an arc-shaped end face, the milling cutter 5 can be easily removed and fixed. Since the bushing 4 and the fixing plate 2 are on the same axis, quick tool setting can be achieved, allowing the operator to install the milling cutter 5 more quickly and accurately. When the milling cutter 5 needs to be replaced, the cylinder assembly 6 is activated to push the buckle component 7 downward. Due to the release of the buckle component 7, the clamping force on the milling cutter 5 is reduced. The operator only needs to pull down gently to easily remove the milling cutter 5 and the bushing 4. Then, by rotating, the milling cutter 5 is removed from the bushing 4, thus completing the replacement of the milling cutter 5. The bushing 4 plays a buffering role during the operation of the milling cutter 5, preventing the two from directly contacting each other, thereby extending the service life of the milling cutter 5.
