Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a T-shaped knife, specifically a combined T-shaped knife, and belongs to the technical field of T-shaped knives. Background Technology
[0002] A T-slot cutter is a common cutting tool used in milling operations. Also known as a T-slot milling cutter, half-circle milling cutter, or keyway milling cutter, it is a tool mounted on a milling machine for milling T-shaped grooves and side grooves on workpieces. Besides T-shaped grooves, T-slot cutters can also be used to machine side grooves, which may be used for specific assembly requirements, lubrication channels, or other functions. Due to its special shape and design, a T-slot cutter can complete the machining of multiple surfaces in a single cutting operation, thus improving machining efficiency. T-slot cutters are suitable for various machining methods, such as milling, side milling, and contour milling, making them more flexible and convenient for machining complex shapes and contours.
[0003] In existing technology, such as the combined T-shaped knife with announcement number 201922358935.8, a combination T-shaped knife includes a handle, a fastening cap, a retaining ring, a mating screw hole, a first threaded post, a retaining groove, a fixing post, a retaining block, a connecting hole, a cutting edge, and a second threaded post. The connecting hole is located at the top of the fixing post, and the cutting edge is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing post. The second threaded post is vertically fixed at the bottom center of the cutting edge. The included angle of the two sides of the fastening cap is 60 degrees, which meets the angle requirements of the T-shaped knife. The diameter of the retaining ring is larger than that of the fixing post and smaller than that of the mating screw hole, making it easy for the retaining ring to pass through the fixing post. The fixing post is clamped in the retaining groove by the retaining block and mates with the first threaded post to prevent misalignment, thereby achieving precise mating. The fixing post is screwed to the first threaded post by the fastening cap and fixed by the retaining ring pressing the retaining block to ensure that the fixing post is firmly fixed. The cutting edge is screwed and locked to the connecting hole by the second threaded post.
[0004] In the above technical solution, the connecting hole is located at the top of the fixed post, the blade is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed post, and the second threaded post is vertically fixed at the bottom center of the blade. However, in actual use, most of the damage to the T-shaped knife is to the blade. In the above solution, when the blade is damaged, it is impossible to replace a single blade. Therefore, a combined T-shaped knife is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model addresses the problem in the above-mentioned technical solutions where the connecting hole is located at the top of the fixed post, the blade is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed post, and the second threaded post is vertically fixed at the bottom center of the blade.
