[0016] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] The utility model combines the friction coefficient detection Figures 1 to 3 A universal testing device for the friction coefficient of a threaded pipe joint and a standard bolt includes a fixed support plate 3, a sensor rotating bracket 4 and a composite sensor 5. The sensor rotating bracket 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the fixed support plate 3 through a rotating bolt 1 and a rotating nut 2. Rotating bracket fixing screws 10 are provided on both sides of the lower side of the sensor rotating bracket 4 and are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed support plate 3. The composite sensor 5 is installed on the sensor rotating bracket 4. Sensor fixing screws 9 are provided on both sides of the upper side of the sensor rotating bracket 4. The composite sensor 5 is fixedly connected to the sensor rotating bracket 4 through two sensor fixing screws 9.

[0018] A sensor positioning device 11 is provided on the composite sensor 5. The sensor positioning device 11 is fixed to the threaded hole of the composite sensor 5 by means of sensor positioning device fixing screws 12. There are four sensor positioning device fixing screws 12. The sensor positioning device 11 includes a circumferential positioning disc 1101 and an axial positioning opening cylinder 1102. The axial positioning opening cylinder 1102 is provided with threaded holes. There are four threaded holes, which makes the device more practical and stable.

[0019] The sensor positioning device 11 is fixed with a threaded gasket 8 through a sensor fixing screw 9. There are four sensor fixing screws 9, which are adapted to the threaded holes. The threaded gasket 8 is provided with several threaded holes. A pipe joint 7 is installed on the composite sensor 5, and the pipe joint 7 is adapted to the threaded holes. By replacing threaded gaskets 8 with different thread specifications, different thread specifications of the pipe joint 7 can be adapted.

[0020] An inlay 13 is provided on the step on the inner side of the composite sensor 5. The inlay 13 is flat in shape. The inlay 13 is also located in the U-shaped groove of the open structure of the sensor positioning device 11. Two threaded holes are provided above the inlay 13. A supporting surface gasket 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the inlay 13 by screws, which can test the friction torque and preload force. Two countersunk holes are provided on the upper end of the supporting surface gasket 14 for cylindrical head screws to sink into the supporting surface gasket 14. A conical countersunk hole is provided at the center of the supporting surface gasket 14. The size and shape of the countersunk hole match the outer dimensions of the pipe joint 7, making the device more stable.

[0021] During actual use of this device, the two rotating bracket fixing screws 10 are loosened, the sensor rotating bracket 4 is rotated to perform the threaded connection test of the pipe joint 7, and the two rotating bracket fixing screws 10 are tightened after rotation. The composite sensor 5 is assembled to the sensor rotating bracket 4 according to the friction coefficient test requirements of the pipe joint 7, and the two sensor fixing screws 9 are tightened. The sensor positioning device 11 is tightened and fixed to the composite sensor 5 with four sensor positioning device fixing screws 12, and the support surface gasket 14 is tightened to the threaded hole of the embedded 13 with two fixing screws to form a whole. The inlay 13 is placed on the inner step of the composite sensor 5, and the two positioning pins of the composite sensor 5 are passed through the two bolt holes of the inlay 13. According to the thread specifications of the pipe joint 7, a suitable threaded gasket 8 is selected, and the pipe joint 7 is screwed into the threaded hole of the threaded gasket 8. The screwing amount of the pipe joint 7 is adjusted so that the pipe joint 7 contacts the tapered hole of the support surface gasket 14. The threaded gasket 8 is positioned and initially assembled to the threaded hole of the U-shaped bracket of the sensor positioning device 11 with four threaded gasket fixing screws 6. Then, the pipe joint 7 is slightly unscrewed half a turn, and the four threaded gasket fixing screws 6 are tightened.

[0022] Finally, adjust the position of the integral test sensor and connect it to the tightening tool to perform the tightening test. During the tightening process, the total tightening torque, thread torque, and preload can be measured. The total torque of the threaded pipe joint is measured by the tightening tool's torque sensor or a separate torque sensor. The thread torque of the threaded pipe joint can be obtained by subtracting the friction torque from the total torque. This ultimately measures the pressure, total torque, thread torque, and friction torque during tightening of the threaded pipe joint. This allows the calculation of the total friction coefficient μtot, thread friction coefficient μth, and support surface friction coefficient μb of the pipe joint 7 according to the method in GB / T 16823.3 standard.

[0023] Finally, the friction coefficient test device for threaded pipe joints can measure the various friction coefficients of threaded pipe joints (total friction coefficient, thread friction coefficient and support surface friction coefficient), thereby achieving the purpose of measuring the friction coefficient of the pipe joint 7 and enabling quality control according to customer requirements.

[0024] The above description of the present invention and its embodiments is non-limiting. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by the above, and does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention, without inventive design, a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
