AI Technical Summary
In traditional butterfly valve flange hole machining, the countersinking insert cannot guarantee that the lengths on both sides of the insert holder are equal, resulting in different outer diameters for each countersinked hole. Furthermore, the insert must be disassembled and reassembled each time machining is performed, which is inefficient.
Design a special countersinking tool holder that includes a tool holder, tool base, and tool. By setting a tunnel groove and pressure block, and using Archimedes' ridge and limiting components, the tool can slide and be positioned to ensure consistent countersinking dimensions each time. The machining accuracy is controlled by a scale groove, and the tool changing process is simplified.
It improves processing efficiency, ensures the dimensional consistency of each countersink, reduces the labor intensity of workers, simplifies tool changing steps, and enhances processing quality and efficiency.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention discloses a special countersinking tool holder for butterfly valve flange holes, belonging to the technical field of valve processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve, is a simple regulating valve that can be used for on / off control of low-pressure pipeline media. A butterfly valve is a type of valve in which the closing element (valve disc or butterfly plate) is a disc that rotates around the valve shaft to achieve opening and closing.
[0003] The main components of a butterfly valve include the valve body, butterfly plate, and valve stem. Flange holes (3) are machined into the valve body for mounting flanges or pipes. Traditional machining methods include... Figure 1 As shown, a rectangular hole is cut on the tool holder 1 using wire cutting. The countersinking insert 2 is placed in the rectangular hole. After controlling the symmetry of both ends of the countersinking insert, the drilling machine is started to countersink the valve body, and finally the flange hole 3 can be machined. Since the length of the countersinking insert 2 on both sides of the tool holder cannot be guaranteed to be equal, the outer diameter of each countersink is different. In addition, the countersinking insert 2 needs to be disassembled and reassembled every time it is machined, which greatly limits the efficiency of countersinking. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] like Figures 1-7As shown, a special tool holder for counterboring flange holes of butterfly valves includes a tool shank 1, a tool holder 4, and a tool 5. The tool shank 1 and the tool holder 4 are fixedly connected by bolts. The tool shank 1 is characterized by having a tunnel groove 14, in which the tool 5 is slidably installed. The tool shank 1 is provided with a clamping block 8 for holding the tool 5. The clamping block 8 is provided with a rotating shaft 13. One end of the rotating shaft 13 extends through the center of the tool shank 1 to the end face of the tool holder 4, and a nut 9 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 13. The tool shank 1 is provided with a countersunk groove 10 for easy removal of the nut 9. A first spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 13. The first spring 12 applies a force close to the tool holder 4 to the nut 9 so that the clamping block 8 clamps the tool 5. The side of the clamping block 8 facing the tool 5 has a driving member so that the tool 5 can be driven to slide horizontally toward the center of the tool shank 1 when the clamping block 8 rotates. The tool shank 1 is provided with a positioning member to limit the rotation of the clamping block 8. The driving component includes several Archimedean ridges 19 arranged in an array. The central angle formed by the two ends of the Archimedean ridges 19 is less than 180°, and the first and last ends of two adjacent Archimedean ridges 19 are on the same straight line passing through the center of the pressure block 8. The pressure block 8 is provided with a bearing platform 21 that abuts against the end face of the tool bar 1. The tool bar 1 has an annular groove 17 that avoids the Archimedean ridges 19. The positioning component includes a threaded sleeve 24, a sliding block 22, and a second spring 25. The tool bar 1 is provided with a threaded hole 18 for installing the threaded sleeve 24. The second spring 25 and the sliding block 22 are both located inside the threaded sleeve 24. The threaded block is provided with a first positioning hole 23. The slider is provided with a limiting post 30 that passes through the first positioning hole 23. The second spring 25 applies a force to the limiting post 30 that protrudes from the threaded sleeve 24. The pressure block 8 is provided with several second positioning holes 20 that cooperate with the limiting post 30.
[0026] The cutting tool 5 has three parts. The central angle formed by the two ends of the Archimedes ridge 19 is 60°. The pressure block 8 has a pressure platform 21 with the same height as the Archimedes ridge 19. The outer diameter of the pressure block 8 is the same as the outer diameter of the tool bar 1. The pressure block 8 has a first scale groove 7. The tool bar 1 has a number of second scale grooves 6 that are the same as the number of second positioning holes. The second scale grooves 6 are arranged in a gradually changing pattern along the axial length of the tool bar 1. The cutting tool 5 includes a tool holder 26 and a blade insert 27. The tool holder 26 has a mounting part 28. The mounting part 28 has an assembly slope. The blade insert 27 is mounted on the assembly slope by bolts. The blade insert 27 has a first cutting edge 15 and a second cutting edge 29 for cutting horizontal and vertical surfaces.
[0027] Working principle: After the cutting tool 5 is assembled onto the tool holder 1, the limiting pin 30 is pressed into the threaded sleeve 24 using a hex wrench to release its restriction on the pressure block 8. Then, the pressure block 8 is rotated, and the cutting tool 5 slides towards the center of the tool holder 1 and retracts inward by utilizing the cooperation between the groove 11 on the pressure block 8 and the Archimedes ridge 19. The cutting tool 5 is then inserted into the flange hole 3 to be counterbored. The pressure block 8 is then rotated in the opposite direction using a hex wrench. When the previous Archimedes ridge 19 slides out of one of the grooves 11, the next Archimedes ridge 19 slides into the adjacent groove 11. In this way, the length of the tool 5 exposed on the outside of the tool holder 1 can be controlled, and the tool 5 cannot automatically retract under the action of the Archimedes protrusion 19 and the limiting post 30, thereby ensuring the dimensional accuracy of each countersinking and significantly improving the processing quality. Moreover, the first scale groove 7 and the second scale groove 6 allow the worker to clearly know the rotation angle and number of turns of the pressure block 8 in order to control the diameter of the countersinking. The processing range is large, and the tool 5 does not need to be disassembled before and after processing, which can greatly reduce the preparation time. The ingenious structural design effectively improves the processing efficiency.
[0028] The first cutting edge 15 can process the end face of the flange hole 3, and the second cutting edge 29 can process the vertical face of the flange hole 3, thus meeting the surface roughness requirements of the flange hole 3. The three cutting tools 5 can process simultaneously, which can shorten the cutting time. When the cutting tool 5 is worn and needs to be replaced, simply press the nut 9 to compress the first spring 12, so that the pressure block 8 moves downward synchronously and releases the restriction on the tool holder 26, thereby realizing the quick disassembly and assembly of the cutting tool 5. In addition, the limiting post 30 cooperates with different second positioning holes 20 to restrict the rotation of the pressure block 8 and control the feed amount of the horizontal movement of the cutting tool 5. The operation is simple and convenient during adjustment. When disassembling and assembling the threaded sleeve 24, simply press the limiting post 30 into the inner side of the threaded sleeve 24 and use a hex wrench to turn the first positioning hole 23.
