[0002] Three-flute end mills are a common type of machine tool cutter. They are installed on machine tools such as milling machines. The cutter rotates, and the workpiece feeds relative to the cutter. The cutting edge contacts the workpiece and removes material through cutting force to form the required shape and size. The three cutting edges cut simultaneously, resulting in a fast feed rate and higher machining efficiency than single-flute or double-flute end mills.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the three-flute end mill disclosed in CN221435065U, by setting three unequal end cutting edges and unequal cutting grooves, the resonance problem generated during end milling can be effectively solved, which can greatly improve the processing efficiency and extend the service life of the tool.

[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the following problems were found in the design of the three-flute end mill: In the prior art, the processing efficiency can be improved by the cooperation of components such as the end cutting edge and the cutting groove. However, in actual use, the end mill is prone to wear on the cutting tip during the drilling process, and it needs to be replaced regularly. However, in general, the cutting bar and cutting tip are integrated, and the whole thing needs to be replaced, which will result in waste of resources and increased costs. In view of this, a three-flute end mill with a replaceable cutting tip is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the problem of wear on the cutting tip during the drilling process of milling cutters, which necessitates periodic replacement. However, since the cutting shank and tip are typically integrated, requiring complete replacement, this leads to resource waste and increased costs. Therefore, this invention provides a three-flute milling cutter with a replaceable cutting tip.

[0006] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solution: a three-flute end mill with interchangeable cutting tips, including a tool holder, wherein a disassembly and assembly mechanism is provided below the tool holder;

[0007] The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a limiting block, which is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the blade bar. A limiting groove is provided on one side of the limiting block, and an insertion block extends through the limiting groove. An abutment groove is provided on one side of the insertion block, and a blade tip is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the limiting block.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: a sleeve is fitted around the outside of the limiting block, and an abutment block is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the sleeve.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the sleeve is threadedly connected to the limiting block, and the sleeve is also threadedly connected to the insertion block.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: a fixing ring is fixedly installed on the outside of the sleeve, and a reinforcement mechanism is provided on the outside of the fixing ring.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the reinforcing mechanism includes a sleeve ring, which is slidably connected to the outside of the tool bar, and the outer wall of the sleeve ring is provided with a mounting groove.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a rotating plate extends through the interior of the placement groove, and a support rod extends through the end of the rotating plate that enters the placement groove.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a locking block is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating plate, and a fastening ring is slidably connected to the outside of the rotating plate. A slot is provided on the outer wall of the fixing ring corresponding to the position of the rotating plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, the limiting block and limiting groove at the bottom of the tool bar are spliced ​​together with the insertion block and abutting groove at the top of the tool tip and limited. Then, a sleeve is fitted at the splicing position and threadedly connected to the limiting block and the insertion block. This allows the tool bar and the tool tip to be quickly assembled and the tool tip can be replaced, avoiding the waste of replacing the whole. The abutting block abuts against the insertion block from below, which further improves the stability of the assembly. And through the mutual abutment of the limiting block and the insertion block, the torque force when the tool bar drives the tool tip to rotate can be maintained.

[0015] After initial fixation by the sleeve, the position of the sleeve ring is adjusted, and the rotating plate is rotated in the mounting groove via the support rod, so that it can pass into the slot and allow the locking block to abut against the fixing ring. At the same time, the four rotating plates are externally threaded to the same fastening ring, which can improve the stability of the tool bar and tool tip after assembly by abutting against the fixing ring, and further improve the stability by limiting and pressing through the fastening ring.
