[0024] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a protection device for an external thread includes a male thread protective cap 2 and a female thread protective cap 3 that mesh with each other. The inner side of the male thread protective cap 2 is provided with convex teeth 201, and the outer side of the female thread protective cap 3 is provided with concave teeth 301. The convex teeth 201 and the concave teeth 301 mesh with each other;

[0025] One side of the male thread protective cap 2 and the female thread protective cap 3 is provided with an opening, and a connecting rope 5 is arranged between the openings, so as to fix the male thread protective cap 2 and the female thread protective cap 3 on the workpiece 1. According to the length of the external thread 101 on the workpiece 1, the meshing length of the convex teeth 201 and the concave teeth 301 on the male thread protective cap 2 and the female thread protective cap 3 is adjusted, so that the male thread protective cap 2 and the female thread protective cap 3 can be adaptively adjusted according to the length of the external thread 101, and can be reused with a wide application range; the male thread protective cap 2 and the female thread protective cap 3 are meshed with each other through the convex teeth 201 and the concave teeth 301 so as to be locked with each other. The male thread protective cap 2 and the female thread protective cap 3 are sleeved on the workpiece 1 through the opening and the two ends of the opening are fixed through the connecting rope 5, so that the male thread protective cap 2 and the female thread protective cap 3 are fixedly covered at the position of the external thread 101 on the workpiece 1, so as to protect it.

[0026] The male thread protective cap 2 and the female thread protective cap 3 are made of nylon material or PE material, and can be deformed through the opening, so as to be clamped on the workpiece 1, which is convenient for installation and reuse.

[0027] Since the male thread protective cap and the female thread protective cap can be adjusted by different meshing degrees of the convex teeth and the concave teeth, different lengths of external threads can be adapted, which increases the applicability and flexibility of the device. It is fixed by physical means, so this protection device can be disassembled and used again, which is very useful for scenarios that require frequent replacement or adjustment.

[0028] The design of the male thread protective cap and the female thread protective cap can tightly wrap the external thread, prevent external factors such as dust and moisture from damaging the external thread, and also avoid damage caused by collision during handling or storage. Through the opening design and the use of the connecting rope, users can easily install the protection device on the workpiece or remove it from the workpiece without additional tools, improving work efficiency.

[0029] Preferably, a second retaining ring 302 is fixedly provided at the end of the female thread cap 3, and a first retaining ring 202 is fixedly provided at the end of the male thread cap 2. The first retaining ring 202 abuts against one end of the external thread 101 on the workpiece 1, and the second retaining ring 302 abuts against the other end of the external thread 101. The cross-sections of the female thread cap 3 and the male thread cap 2 are L-shaped rings, and the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 at the ends of the female thread cap 3 and the male thread cap 2 are located at both ends after combination. The first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 respectively abut against both ends of the external thread 101 on the workpiece 1, so that the female thread cap 3 and the male thread cap 2 can be clamped on the external thread 101 for fixation.

[0030] The first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 respectively abut against both ends of the external thread 101, which can ensure that the male thread cap 2 and the female thread cap 3 will not slide axially, so as to be more firmly fixed on the external thread. The cross-sections of the female thread cap 3 and the male thread cap 2 are L-shaped rings. This design not only provides enough space to accommodate the external thread, but also further enhances the fixing effect through the retaining rings.

[0031] The design of the first retaining ring 202 and the second retaining ring 302 ensures that both ends of the external thread are completely covered, preventing external contaminants from entering or damaging the external thread. The design of the retaining ring can effectively block external factors such as dust and moisture, further enhancing the protection effect.

[0032] Preferably, locking posts 4 are fixedly provided at both open ends of the male thread cap 2 and the female thread cap 3. Both ends of the connecting rope 5 are fixed to the locking posts 4. The male thread cap 2 and the female thread cap 3 are annular, with an opening at one end, and locking posts 4 are installed at both open ends. The connecting rope 5 connects the locking posts 4 at both open ends, thereby fixing the male thread cap 2 and the female thread cap 3 on the workpiece 1.

[0033] Preferably, locking grooves 6 are provided at both open ends of the male thread cap 2 and the female thread cap 3. Both ends of the connecting rope 5 are fixed in the locking grooves 6. Another structure is that the connecting rope 5 is connected to the locking grooves 6 at both open ends, avoiding protrusions on the outside of the male thread cap 2 and the female thread cap 3 that may affect transportation and collision.

[0034] Through the double fixation of the locking posts 4 or the locking grooves 6 and the connecting rope 5, it is ensured that the male thread cap 2 and the female thread cap 3 are firmly fixed on the workpiece 1, preventing loosening during handling or use. The fastening effect of the connecting rope 5 can reduce the impact of vibration on the protection device and improve the anti-vibration performance of the device.

[0035] Preferably, the connecting rope 5 is an elastic rubber band. The elasticity of the rubber band can ensure that both open ends of the male thread cap 2 and the female thread cap 3 are always in a tightened state, preventing loosening during handling or use. The elasticity of the rubber band can absorb a certain amount of vibration energy, improve the anti-vibration performance of the device, and reduce loosening caused by vibration.

[0036] Preferably, the male thread protective cap 2 overlaps and covers the outside of the female thread protective cap 3, and its convex teeth 201 are engaged with the concave teeth 301 to connect and lock self-locked. By adjusting the opening degree between the male thread protective cap 2 and the female thread protective cap 3, the length of the external thread 101 on the covered workpiece 1 can be adapted.

[0037] After the workpiece 1 is processed, the external thread 101 on the workpiece 1 is effectively protected by the male thread protective cap 2 and the female thread protective cap 3. At the same time, a thin film is coated on the outside thereof to avoid damage to the external thread 101 caused by hoisting bumps during transportation.

[0038] The above embodiments are only the preferred technical solutions of the present invention, and should not be regarded as a limitation to the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention should be the technical solutions recorded in the claims, including the equivalent replacement solutions of the technical features in the technical solutions recorded in the claims.
