Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of valve stem turning, and in particular to a fire hydrant valve stem outer surface processing device. Background Art

[0002] The fire hydrant valve stem is a crucial component within a fire hydrant. Its primary function is to control the flow of water. The fire hydrant valve stem is typically cylindrical, with a threaded structure near one end. Near the other end, a groove for a sealing ring is defined. Existing equipment typically machines the fire hydrant valve stem by rotating a fixture to secure both ends of a metal rod. A tool then creates threads on the rod's side that mate with the hydrant's threaded grooves. Rotating the fire hydrant valve stem opens and closes the valve.

[0003] When the existing thread turning device turns the side of the valve stem, the two ends of the valve stem are clamped and fixed. When the tool turns a certain part of the metal rod, the metal rod may be deformed under the pressure of the tool, reducing the thread accuracy of the valve stem after turning. When the existing turning device turns the thread of the metal rod, it is necessary to spray coolant to the turning position, and a device for collecting coolant is provided under the metal rod. The coolant is in contact with the air for a long time during the recovery process, and some coolants have a strong odor, resulting in a strong odor of the coolant in the turning workshop. After the existing turning device completes the thread processing on the metal rod surface, the processed metal rod needs to be sent to the cleaning workshop for work, so as to remove impurities in the thread on the valve stem surface, which is very inefficient.

[0035] Specifically, the third motor 44 drives the second threaded shaft 42 to rotate, and the second threaded shaft 42 cooperates to drive the third fixed body 43 to move along the guide groove 41, so that the second through hole 47 on the upper end of the fourth fixed body 46 always supports the position of the turning thread.

[0037] The rotating clamping mechanism 2 includes a first fixed body 21 fixedly connected to the upper end of the main plate 1, and a first through hole 22 is formed through the end surface of the first fixed body 21.

The end face of the rotating ring 25 is fixedly connected to a gear ring 27 that meshes with the gear 28.

[0039] Specifically, one end of the metal rod is placed on the inner side of the rotating ring 25, and then a plurality of first electric telescopic rods 26 are extended at the same time, and the plurality of first electric telescopic rods 26 clamp the side of the metal rod through the anti-slip sheet.

[0040] In this embodiment, the upper end of the main body plate 1 is connected to a thread turning mechanism 3 for turning the surface of the valve stem.

[0041] The thread turning mechanism 3 includes two limiting grooves 31 symmetrically opened at the upper end of the main body plate 1. The main body plate 1 is fixedly connected to a second motor 35 in the two limiting grooves 31. The transmission shaft ends of the two second motors 35 are fixedly connected to a first threaded shaft 34. The side surfaces of the two first threaded shafts 34 are respectively matched with a second fixed body 36. The side surfaces of the two second fixed bodies 36 are respectively slidably matched with the limiting grooves 31. The upper ends of the two second fixed bodies 36 are respectively fixedly connected to a second electric telescopic rod 32. The telescopic ends of the two second electric telescopic rods 32 are fixedly connected to a connecting plate 33. The lower end of the connecting plate 33 is connected to a turning head 37.

[0042] Specifically, the second electric telescopic rod 32 is retracted and the first motor 29 is started. The first motor 29 drives the metal rod to rotate through the cooperation of the gear 28 and the gear ring 27, thereby driving the turning head 37 to turn threads on the side of the metal rod.

[0043] When in use, one end of the metal rod is placed on the inner side of the rotating ring 25, and then several first electric telescopic rods 26 are extended at the same time. Several first electric telescopic rods 26 clamp the side of the metal rod through the anti-slip sheet, and at the same time, the third electric telescopic rod 45 is extended so that the side of the metal rod is located in the second through hole 47. The seventh electric telescopic rod 421 is extended, and several seventh electric telescopic rods 421 drive the roller 423 to contact the side of the metal rod. Then, the second electric telescopic rod 32 is retracted and the first motor 29 is started. The first motor 29 drives the metal rod to rotate through the cooperation of the gear 28 and the gear ring 27, thereby driving the turning head 37 to turn the thread on the side of the metal rod. During the turning process, two first guide rods are provided on the side of the fourth fixed body 46. Toward block 415 and a second guide block 418, the length of the connecting plate between the two first guide blocks 415 is an integer multiple of the turning pitch, and the conical protective plates at the telescopic ends of the fourth electric telescopic rod 416 and the sixth electric telescopic rod 419 move into the thread on the surface of the metal rod, thereby supporting this place during the process of turning the thread on the surface of the metal rod, preventing deformation at the turning position, and improving the accuracy of the turning thread. When the second motor 35 drives the turning head 37 to move, the third motor 44 is started synchronously, and the third motor 44 drives the second threaded shaft 42 to rotate. The second threaded shaft 42 cooperates to drive the third fixed body 43 to move along the guide groove 41, so that the second through hole 47 at the upper end of the fourth fixed body 46 always supports the position of the turning thread.

[0044] During the movement of the fourth fixed body 46 along the metal rod, the conical anti-slip plates at the telescopic ends of the fourth electric telescopic rod 416 and the sixth electric telescopic rod 419 can clean impurities in the thread grooves on the side surfaces of the metal rod, thereby cleaning the side surfaces of the metal rod during the turning process and improving the efficiency of impurity removal.

[0045] During the turning process, a coolant spraying mechanism is provided at the lower end of the connecting plate 33 near the turning head 37, so that coolant is sprayed during the turning process. The sprayed coolant immediately drops into the containing shell 49 with impurities after cooling the metal rod, and the impurities are collected at the upper end of the filter plate 410. The coolant directly enters the air pump recovery mechanism through the third through hole 412, reducing the contact time between the coolant and the air and reducing the probability of coolant volatilization. When there are too many impurities on the upper end of the filter plate 410, the fifth electric telescopic rod 417 drives the scraper 411 to push the impurities on the upper end of the filter plate 410 to one end, thereby ensuring the filtration efficiency of the filter plate 410.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions merely illustrate the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention.
