This cross-sectional shape design can make the thread have better self-cleaning ability and sealing performance, and can also reduce the friction and wear of the connector. The variable taper thread has a wide range of applications, including petrochemical, aerospace, nuclear industry and other fields. In the petrochemical industry, the variable taper thread is usually used to connect high-pressure pipelines and containers to ensure their sealing performance and safety. In the aerospace and nuclear industries, the variable taper thread is used to connect high-temperature and high-pressure pipelines and containers to ensure the reliability and safety of its connection.

[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model provides a variable cone thread structure, including a male connector 1 and a female connector 9, on the male connector 1, starting from away from the nut 2, there are installed a secondary shoulder sealing surface B10, a front section thread A4, a middle section platform A5, a rear section thread A6 and a main shoulder sealing surface A7 in sequence, which is used to facilitate accurate connection, make the connection smoother and tighter, and provide better sealing performance; the female connector 9 is installed with a secondary shoulder sealing surface B10, a rear section thread B11, a middle section platform B12, a front section thread B13 and a main shoulder sealing surface B14 in sequence, the front section thread A4 is meshed with the front section thread B13, and the rear section thread A6 is meshed with the rear section thread B11, which is used to facilitate accurate connection, make the connection smoother and tighter, and provide better sealing performance.
[0021] The front thread A4 and the rear thread B11 use the same taper, and the taper of the front thread A4 and the rear thread B11 is 1:6. The front thread A4 and the rear thread B11 use V038 tooth profile, which is used to achieve precise connection and can ensure the tightness and reliability of the connection. The tooth height of the front thread A4 and the rear thread B11 is 3.095, and the pitch of the front thread A4 and the rear thread B11 is 6.35. The rear thread A6 and the front thread B13 use the same taper, and the taper of the rear thread A6 and the front thread B13 is 1:16. The rear thread A6 and the front thread B13 use V038 tooth profile, which is used to achieve precise connection and can ensure the tightness and reliability of the connection. The tooth height of the rear thread A6 and the front thread B13 is 3.095, and the pitch of the rear thread A6 and the front thread B13 is 6.35.
[0022] The dimensional tolerance range of the front thread A4 and the rear thread A6 is 0, -0.05mm, and the dimensional tolerance range of the rear thread B11 and the front thread B13 is 0, -0.05mm. The dimensional tolerance range of the male connector 1 is 0, -0.05mm, which is used to ensure the quality, precision and safety of the product.
[0023] The main shoulder sealing surface B14 can be in close contact with the main shoulder sealing surface A7, which is used to provide better sealing performance and reliability during connection. The middle platform A5 is slidably and rotatably inserted in the middle platform B12, and is closely connected with the middle platform B12, which is used to reduce the stress concentration and leakage risk at the connection part. The auxiliary shoulder sealing surface A8 is slidably inserted in the auxiliary shoulder surface B, which is used to provide better sealing performance and reliability during connection. The male connector 1 can be slidably inserted in the female connector 9, which is used to ensure that it can be completely slidably inserted. A nut 2 is installed on the male connector 1, and a groove 3 is provided on the nut 2 to facilitate tightening.
[0024] Working principle: When in use, first pick up the male connector 1, and then insert the male connector 1 into the female connector 9. When the secondary shoulder sealing surface A8 on the male connector 1 is inserted into the rear thread B11 opened on the female connector 9 and the front thread A4 on the male connector 1 is engaged with the rear thread B11 on the female connector 9, insert the gun head of the tightening gun into the groove 3 on the nut 2, and then turn on the tightening gun. When the tightening gun is started, the gun head will be driven to rotate, and the rotation of the gun head will drive the nut 2 to rotate. The rotation of the nut 2 will drive the male connector 1 to rotate in the female connector 9. The rotation of the male connector 1 will drive the front thread A4 to engage and rotate on the rear thread B11 in the female connector 9, and then the front thread A4 will rotate toward the secondary shoulder sealing surface B10, and at the same time, the middle platform A5 on the male connector 1 will be in the middle platform in the female connector 9. B12 rotates, and at the same time, the rear thread A6 on the male connector 1 will mesh with the front thread B13 on the female connector 9 and rotate. When the front thread A4 and the rear thread B11, the rear thread A6 and the front thread B13 mesh and overlap, and the thread buckle reaches a certain torque, the main shoulder sealing surface A7 contacts the main shoulder sealing surface B14, and the torque can be continued to increase so that the total length of the auxiliary shoulder sealing surface A8, the front thread A4, the middle platform A5 and the rear thread A6 on the male connector 1 compresses the total length of the auxiliary shoulder sealing surface B10, the rear thread B11, the middle platform B12 and the front thread B13 in the female connector 9, resulting in elastic deformation, and as the torque increases, the auxiliary shoulder sealing surface A8 will contact the auxiliary shoulder sealing surface B10. At this time, the torque value of the threaded connection reaches the designed torque value.
