[0026] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a tooling for machining the circular thread at the root of the metal blade, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art, with simple operation, wide application range, and high machining reliability.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0028] As shown Figures 1-7 in the figure, this embodiment provides a tooling for machining the circular thread of the blade root of a metal blade, which includes a limiting element, a connecting element, and an adjusting element. The limiting element is used to be sleeved on the outer periphery of the blade 20 to limit the blade 20. The connecting element is fixed to one end of the limiting element, and the connecting element can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the blade 20. The adjusting element is movably installed on the connecting element, and the adjusting element can press the blade 20 with different outer diameters, so as to adjust the support range of the adjusting element, realize the support and locking of the blade profile of the blade 20, and enable the metal blade 20 to continuously maintain a locked state during the process of machining the circular thread 22 of the blade root 21, which can improve the machining reliability. The overall structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the applicable range is wide.

[0029] Specifically, the limiting element includes a disc 16, an upper limiting part, and a lower limiting part. A circular hole for the blade 20 to pass through is opened in the middle of the disc 16, so as to limit the blade 20 through the circular hole, and it is convenient for the machine tool center 23 to abut against one end of the blade 20. The upper limiting part and the lower limiting part are symmetrically installed on one side of the disc 16, and the upper limiting part and the lower limiting part are respectively arranged close to the upper and lower sides of the circular hole. The upper limiting part and the lower limiting part are both fixed to the connecting element, so as to facilitate clamping the blade 20 by the adjusting element on the connecting element.

[0030] The structures of the upper limiting part and the lower limiting part are the same, and both include a left reinforcing rib 5, a channel steel, a connecting plate 18, and a right reinforcing rib 6. The first end of the channel steel is fixed to the disc 16, and the second end of the channel steel extends along the length direction of the blade 20. The channel steel plays a role in connecting the disc 16 and the connecting element. The connecting plate 18 is fixed to the second end of the channel steel. The left reinforcing rib 5 and the right reinforcing rib 6 are respectively fixed to both sides of the channel steel.

After removing the screw 11, the connector 1 can rotate quickly by 360° around the pin 12, thereby realizing the quick installation and disassembly of the blade 20. Before machining the circular thread 22 of the blade root 21, open the connector 1, place the blade 20 into the tooling for machining the circular thread of the metal blade root in this embodiment, and then close the connector 1 and tighten it with the screw 11.

[0033] A plurality of stepped holes 19 are provided on both the upper pressing plate 2 and the lower pressing plate 15, and the stepped holes 19 on the upper pressing plate 2 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the upper pressing plate 2, and the stepped holes 19 on the lower pressing plate 15 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the lower pressing plate 15.

[0035] One end of the adjusting bolt 4 is used to abut against the outer wall of the blade 20, and the adjustment is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0036] The limiting element and the connecting element are integrated by welding, that is, the upper pressing plate 2, the left reinforcing rib 5, the right reinforcing rib 6, the upper channel steel 13, the lower channel steel 14, the lower pressing plate 15, the disc 16 and the connecting plate 18 are integrated by welding, making the overall structure simple, the operation efficient, and the rigidity good.

[0037] The specific usage method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] 1. Connect the tooling for machining the circular thread of the metal blade root in this embodiment to the machine tool equipment, and ensure that the rotation center of the tooling for machining the circular thread of the metal blade root coincides with the spindle center of the machine tool equipment;

[0039] 2. Open the joint 1 and place the metal blade 20 into the tooling for machining the circular thread of the blade root of the metal blade. First, connect the metal blade 20 to the machine center 23 and the machine tailstock 24. Then, close the joint 1 and tighten it with the screw 11. Finally, move the adjusting bolt up and down along the thread of the bushing 3 to support and lock the blade surface of the blade 20, so that the metal blade 20 remains locked during the process of machining the circular thread 22 of the blade root 21.

[0040] 3. After the above two steps are completed, the machining of the circular thread 22 of the blade root 21 in the metal blade 20 can be carried out.
