Detailed Implementation

[0014] 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.

[0015] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: A three-sided key milling cutter includes a cutter assembly 1, which is inserted into the inside of a handle assembly 3. A neck assembly 2 is installed on the outside of the handle assembly 3. The cutter assembly 1 includes a rear face 11, a front face 12 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rear face 11, a tooth gap 13 is formed on the inner side of the front face 12, and a plug rod 14 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rear face 11. The neck assembly 2 includes a neck shell 21, a straight hole 22 and a threaded hole 23 are formed on the inner side of the neck shell 21, and a stripe 24 is formed near the front end of the neck shell 21. The handle assembly 3 includes a handle shell 31, a slot 32 is formed on the inner side of the handle shell 31, and a movable groove 33 and a threaded strip 34 are formed at the front end of the handle shell 31.

[0017] As a further implementation of this solution, the number of tooth gaps 13 is three. The tooth gaps 13 are in a spiral structure and are arranged in a circumferentially equidistant array outside the rake face 12. The tooth gaps 13 extend to the outside of the flank face 11. With the above arrangement, the three spiral tooth gaps 13 are arranged in a circumferentially equidistant array outside the rake face 12 and extend to the outside of the flank face 11. This design allows the milling cutter to distribute the cutting force more evenly during machining, improving cutting efficiency and machining accuracy. At the same time, the spiral structure helps to remove chips, reduces the impact of chips on the machined surface, and further improves the machining quality. As a further implementation of this solution, the insert rod 14 is inserted into the inside of the slot 32, and the rear end of the back face 11 is in contact with the front end of the tool holder housing 31. The front view shape of the insert rod 14 is cross-shaped, and the front view shape of the slot 32 is also cross-shaped. Through the above settings, the connection is strengthened, stress is better dispersed, stress concentration is reduced, and the tool service life is extended. At the same time, the cross-shaped structure also helps to improve the positioning accuracy and installation stability of the tool. As a further implementation of this solution, the neck shell 21 is sleeved on the outside of the back face 11 through the straight hole 22 and the screw hole 23. The neck shell 21 is threaded to the threaded bar 34 through the screw hole 23. The neck shell 21 fits against the outside of the back face 11 through the straight hole 22. Through the above arrangement, this structural design allows the neck shell 21 to be firmly fixed on the back face 11, improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly. As a further implementation of this solution, a spring telescopic rod 35 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the tool holder shell 31. A ring 36 is fixedly connected to the front end of multiple spring telescopic rods 35. A second one-way tooth 37 is fixedly connected to the front end of the ring 36. The ring 36 is sleeved on the outer side of the tool holder shell 31. A first one-way tooth 25 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the neck shell 21. The first one-way tooth 25 meshes with the second one-way tooth 37. Through the above arrangement, this design enables the neck shell 21 to achieve unidirectional rotation through the meshing of the first one-way tooth 25 and the second one-way tooth 37, preventing the reverse rotation of the tool during the machining process, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the machining. At the same time, the meshing structure can provide stable power transmission, ensuring the continuity and stability of the machining process.

[0018] Workflow: During installation, insert the insert rod 14 into the slot 32 of the tool holder housing 31 until the rear end of the insert rod 14 is in contact with the rear end of the slot 32 of the tool holder housing 31, and at the same time, the rear end of the back face 11 is in contact with the front end of the tool holder housing 31. At this time, the neck housing 21 is fitted onto the outside of the back face 11 through the threaded hole 23 and the straight hole 22. When the threaded hole 23 contacts the threaded bar 34, rotate the neck housing 21 by operating the bar 24. The neck housing 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded bar 34 through the threaded hole 23. At this time, the neck housing 21 will move backward. When the first single After the first one-way tooth 25 contacts the second one-way tooth 37, the first one-way tooth 25 will push the second one-way tooth 37 and the ring 36 to move backward. The ring 36 moves inside the movable groove 33 and squeezes the multiple spring telescopic rods 35. Through the elastic force of the spring telescopic rods 35, the second one-way tooth 37 is kept engaged with the first one-way tooth 25. According to the shape design of the first one-way tooth 25 and the second one-way tooth 37, after the first one-way tooth 25 and the second one-way tooth 37 are engaged, the neck shell 21 can only rotate in one direction until the neck shell 21 can no longer rotate, and the installation is completed. When in use, the tool holder housing 31 is installed on the main spindle of the key machine. After installation, the ring 36 is located outside the main spindle of the key machine. When milling grooves for the key, the front face 12 extends to the center of the rear face 11. The tooth gap 13 is narrower than the traditional groove, thereby improving the strength of the end tooth tip and enhancing the anti-chipping performance. During the processing, even if the processing equipment vibrates or the manual tool feed is uneven, it will not cause chipping of the end face 12, ensuring the stability and durability of the milling cutter. When the front blade face 12 is worn to a certain extent and needs to be replaced, it is not necessary to remove the handle housing 31 from the key machine spindle. By pushing the ring 36 to move away from the neck housing 21, the second one-way tooth 37 and the first one-way tooth 25 are separated. At this time, rotate the neck housing 21 until the neck housing 21 is separated from the outside of the handle housing 31. Then, the insert 14 that fixes the rear blade face 11 is removed from the inside of the slot 32, and the entire blade assembly 1 is replaced. This structural design only requires the replacement of the blade assembly 1, which not only reduces economic losses, but also, compared with the replacement method of the existing technology, it does not require the removal of the handle housing 31 from the key machine, reducing the process of subsequent fixing and adjustment, and improving the convenience of use.

[0019] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
