DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] To more concisely illustrate this embodiment, some components well known to those skilled in the art but not relevant to the main content of this invention may be omitted from the drawings or descriptions. In addition, for ease of description, some components may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced in size in the drawings, but they do not represent the dimensions or entire structure of the actual product.

[0035] The present invention relates to a threading machine tool assembly, such as Figure 1 、 2 As shown, it includes a feed shaft 1, a connecting flange 2, a cutter disc 3 arranged on the connecting flange 2, a cutter seat 4 slidably arranged on the cutter disc 3, and a gear shaft 6 driving the cutter seat 4; a pair or more cutter seats 4 are arranged on the cutter disc 4, and the cutter seats 4 are evenly and symmetrically arranged on the cutter disc 3;

[0036] Preferably, the cutterhead 3 is provided with a guide groove 32, and the cutter seat 4 is disposed within the guide groove 32. The cutterhead 3 is circular and has four guide grooves 32 arranged perpendicular to each other. The axial hole 31 is located at the center of the cutterhead 3; the connecting flange 2 is configured as a circle concentric with the cutterhead 3. The connecting flange 2 is provided with a first through hole 21, which is located at the center of the connecting flange 2 and communicates with the axial hole 31.

[0037] Furthermore, in order to increase the sliding stability of the tool holder 3, as Figure 2 As shown, the cutter disc 3 is provided with four guide grooves 32 which are perpendicular to each other, and the four cutter seats 4 are arranged in the guide grooves 32 .

[0038] Furthermore, in order to increase the sliding stability of the tool holder 3, the cross-section of the guide groove 32 is cross-shaped, and the cross-section of the tool holder 4 is matched with the cross-section of the guide groove 32 and inserted into the guide groove 32, so that the tool holder 4 can slide stably in the guide groove 32. When it reaches the set position, it is convenient to fix it, which greatly reduces the error of thread processing.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, the cutter disc 3 is provided with an axial hole 31 , and a second gear 9 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the cutter disc 3 at the axial hole 31 .

[0040] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, the gear shaft 6 includes, from bottom to top, a shaft handle 61 , a first gear 62 and a rack rod 63 .

[0041] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the rack rod 63 of the gear shaft 6 passes through the second gear 9 and the shaft hole 31 and protrudes from the upper part of the cutter disc 3, and the first gear 62 is superimposed on the second gear 9.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, each knife seat 4 is provided with a rack 41, and the tooth surface of the rack 41 is facing the rack rod 63 of the gear shaft 6, and the tooth surface of the rack 41 is engaged with the rack rod 63; a blade 5 installation position is provided on the side of the knife seat 4 facing the rack rod 63; when in use, it can be set manually, for example, it can be set to: when the gear shaft 6 rotates clockwise, the knife seats 4 in the opposite direction slide together under the drive of the rack 41; when the gear shaft 6 rotates counterclockwise, the knife seats 4 in the opposite direction slide open under the drive of the rack 41, thereby realizing the synchronous retraction or opening of the four knife seats 4.

[0043] Because the tool holder 4 is arranged on the surface of the cutter disc 3, the blade 5 is arranged on the tool holder 3, and the tool holder 4 slides on the horizontal plane of the cutter disc 3, the spacing of the blades 5 can be quickly and arbitrarily adjusted and switched, and pipes of different diameters can be processed, especially pipes with large diameters; and in the depth direction, tool holders 4 of various heights can be prepared according to production needs, so that the threading machine can process threads of a larger distance.

[0044] The gear shaft 6 of the present invention is driven by the feed shaft 1. The feed shaft 1 is connected to an eccentric disk 7 having an eccentric hole 71 at the bottom, and the eccentric disk 7 is connected to an internal gear 8. The shaft shank 61 of the gear shaft 6 passes through the internal gear 8 and is inserted into the eccentric hole 71 of the eccentric disk 7. The internal gear 8 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the first gear 62 and the second gear 9. The internal gear 8 is provided with two layers of gear teeth from the inside to the outside, namely, a first gear tooth 81 and a second gear tooth 82. The first gear teeth 81 of the internal gear 8 correspond to the first gear 62, and the second gear teeth 82 correspond to the second gear 9. In addition, the number of teeth of the first gear teeth 81 is greater than the number of teeth of the first gear 62, and the number of teeth of the second gear teeth 82 is greater than the number of teeth of the second gear 9. Preferably, the number of teeth of the first gear teeth 81 is one more than the number of teeth of the first gear 62, and the number of teeth of the second gear teeth 82 is one more than the number of teeth of the second gear 9. In this way, when the internal gear 8 is engaged with the first gear 62 , it will avoid the second gear 9 . Similarly, when the internal gear 8 is engaged with the second gear 9 , it will avoid the first gear 62 .

[0045] Driven by the driving mechanism, the feed shaft 1 drives the eccentric disk 7 to rotate, driving the internal gear 8 to rotate, the first gear teeth 81 of the internal gear 8 engage with the first gear 62, driving the gear shaft 6 to rotate, thereby driving the tool holder 4 to retract or open synchronously; due to the eccentric effect of the eccentric disk 7, the second gear teeth 82 of the internal gear 8 do not engage with the second gear 9, so that the retraction or opening of the tool holder 4 will not affect the state of the cutter disc 3.

[0046] Similarly, the connecting flange 2 is fixedly connected to the cutter disc 3 , and the cutter disc 3 is driven to rotate by driving the connecting flange 2 to rotate. The rotation of the cutter disc 3 will not affect the retraction or expansion of the cutter seat 4 .

[0047] The eccentric disk 7 and the internal gear 8 are located in the first through hole 21 of the connecting flange 2 .

[0048] A threading machine, such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes a clamping fixture 10 for clamping the pipe, a base 11, and a workbench 12. The workbench 12 is slidably arranged on the base 11. The workbench 12 is provided with the aforementioned threading machine tool 13, as well as a first driving component 14 for driving the tool holder 4 to synchronously retract or expand and a second driving component 15 for driving the connecting flange 2 to rotate. The first driving component 14 is connected to the feed shaft 1, and the second driving component 15 is connected to the connecting flange 2.

[0049] A third driving component 16 is also provided to drive the workbench 12 to slide on the base 11 .

[0050] During use, first clamp the pipe on the clamping fixture 10, start the first driving component 14, the feed shaft 1 rotates through the internal gear 8 to drive the gear shaft 6 to rotate, and the tool holder 4 opens under the drive of the rack 41, and then start the third driving component 16, and the workbench 12 slides toward the pipe direction, so that the threading machine tool 13 is sleeved on the pipe; then start the first driving component 14, the feed shaft 1 rotates in the opposite direction through the internal gear 8 to drive the gear shaft 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the tool holder 4 is retracted under the drive of the rack 41, and the blade 5 rests on the outer wall of the pipe to fix the tool holder 4; start the second driving component 15, drive the connecting flange 2 to rotate, drive the cutter disc 2 to rotate, and at the same time start the third driving component 16 to slide the workbench 12 in the direction away from the pipe. In this way, the cutter disc 2 rotates and slides in the direction away from the pipe, and the blade 5 processes threads on the pipe.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. That is, any equivalent changes and modifications made according to the content of the patent application of the present invention should fall within the technical scope of the present invention.
