[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a replaceable head cutting tool, including a replaceable head cutting tool body, which includes a shank body 1, a cutting head body 2, a connecting component 3, a replacement component 4, and a cutting blade 5. The shank body 1 is located on one side of the replaceable head cutting tool body, and the cutting head body 2 is located at one end of the shank body 1. The cutting head body 2 and the shank body 1 are connected by the connecting component 3 in the middle. The cutting blade 5 is located at the end of the cutting head body 2 away from the shank body 1. The cutting blade 5 and the cutting head body 2 are connected by the replacement component 4 located between them. By setting the connecting component 3, a stable connection structure is formed between the cutting head body 2 and the shank body 1, which effectively improves the stability of the tool during the machining process, reduces vibration, ensures machining accuracy, and, together with the replacement component 4, makes the replacement operation of the cutting blade 5 simple and quick, greatly shortening the tool replacement time. The replacement is convenient and efficient, improving machining efficiency and reducing downtime and costs caused by tool replacement.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the connecting component 3 includes a shank tapered surface 31, a cutter head tapered surface 32, a cutter head protruding stop 33, a shank recessed stop 34, an internal hexagon screw 35, and a threaded insertion hole 36. The shank tapered surface 31 is provided at the connection end between the shank body 1 and the cutter head body 2. The cutter head tapered surface 32 is provided at the end of the cutter head body 2 near the shank body 1. The cutter head tapered surface 32 and the shank tapered surface 31 fit tightly together. The shank body 1 and the cutter head body 2 are connected using a tapered surface combination positioning method. A shank recessed stop 34 is provided at the connection end between the shank body 1 and the cutter head body 2. The cutter head body 2 at the end near the shank body 1... The cutter body 1 has a protruding stop 33 on the cutter head, which is in contact with and connected to the recessed stop 34 on the handle. The two work together. A hexagon socket screw 35 is screwed into the handle body 1. One end of the hexagon socket screw 35 passes through the handle body 1 and extends to the outside of one end of the handle body 1. A threaded insertion hole 36 that matches the hexagon socket screw 35 is opened at the center of the connecting end of the cutter head body 2. One end of the hexagon socket screw 35 is screwed into the cutter head body 2 through the threaded insertion hole 36. The handle body 1 and the cutter head body 2 are connected by the hexagon socket screw 35. The tapered surface 32 of the cutter head fits tightly with the tapered surface 31 of the handle.
[0024] The use of a combination of conical surfaces for positioning can effectively improve the coaxiality and stability of the connection and reduce vibration during processing. At the same time, the protruding stop 33 of the cutter head and the recessed stop 34 of the shank are in contact and connected. The two work together to further enhance the stability of the connection and prevent relative rotation between the cutter head body 2 and the shank body 1. In addition, the shank body 1 and the cutter head body 2 are firmly connected by an internal hex screw 35, which is convenient for disassembly and installation.
[0025] It should be noted that the cutter head body 2 is made of steel and undergoes a special heat treatment process, which gives it good toughness and machinability. This good toughness ensures that the cutter head body 2 is not prone to breakage when subjected to large cutting forces.
[0026] It should be noted that the handle body 1 is made of high-performance steel or hard alloy material. These materials have high strength, high wear resistance and good impact resistance, which can ensure that the handle body 1 remains stable during use and can also effectively extend the service life of the handle body 1.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an O-ring 37 is provided at the mating position between the handle body 1 and the cutter head body 2, and the O-ring 37 is fitted onto the outer surface of the internal hexagon screw 35.
[0028] By setting an O-ring 37, the sealing performance is improved, preventing cutting fluid, chips, and other contaminants from entering the connection area during machining, which could affect tool performance and service life.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the replacement component 4 includes a blade groove 41 and a locking screw 42. One end surface of the cutter head body 2 has a blade groove 41 for installing the cutting blade 5. The surface of the cutter head body 2 is screwed with a locking screw 42 for fixing the cutting blade 5. With this structural design, when the cutting blade 5 is worn or damaged, the old cutting blade 5 can be quickly removed from the blade groove 41 by simply unscrewing the locking screw 42. Then, a new cutting blade 5 can be installed and the locking screw 42 can be tightened to fix it. The operation is simple and convenient, which greatly shortens the tool replacement time, makes replacement convenient and efficient, improves processing efficiency, and reduces downtime and cost caused by tool replacement.
[0030] Working principle and process: First, align the tapered surface 32 of the cutter head body 2 with the tapered surface 31 of the shank body 1, ensuring accurate engagement of the protruding stop 33 of the cutter head with the recessed stop 34 of the shank. Then, use an Allen wrench to tighten the Allen screw 35, firmly installing the cutter head body 2 onto the shank body 1. Next, place the cutting insert 5 into the insert groove 41 of the cutter head body 2, ensuring accurate installation of the cutting insert 5. Finally, use a screwdriver to tighten the locking screw 42, fixing the cutting insert 5 to the cutter head body 2. The specific machining process will then be determined based on the desired result. To meet the requirements, install the installed tool on the corresponding processing equipment to perform cutting operations. During use, the cutting parameters, such as cutting speed and feed rate, should be selected reasonably according to the properties of the processed material and processing requirements to ensure processing quality and tool life. When the tool head body 2 or the cutting insert 5 is severely worn or cannot meet the processing requirements, the installation can be carried out in the reverse order: first loosen the locking screw 42, remove the cutting insert 5, then loosen the internal hex screw 35, remove the tool head body 2, and then install a new tool head body 2 or cutting insert 5.
