[0023] Example:

[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a cutting device with adjustable helix angle for processing external threads includes a cutter bar 1, a turbine 2, a worm 3, a first bearing 4, a second bearing 5, a first limit block 6, a second limit block 7, a first pressing plate 8, a second pressing plate 9, a third pressing plate 10 and a housing 11;

[0025] The knife bar 1 is a multi-section shaft structure, and has a blade mounting end for mounting a cutting blade 12 and a knife bar connecting end for connecting to the housing 11; the knife bar 1 is a modified ordinary knife bar;

[0026] The connecting end of the tool rod is installed in the shell 11 through the first bearing 4 and the second bearing 5. A turbine 2 is fixed on the tool rod 1, and the turbine 2 is engaged with the worm 3. The worm 3 is rotatably connected to the shell 11, and the end of the worm 3 located on the outside of the shell 11 is the driving end; a first pressure plate 8 and a second pressure plate 9 are fixedly installed on the shell 11, and the third pressure plate 10 is fixedly installed on the second pressure plate 9. The first pressure plate 8 is located on the outside of the first bearing 4, and the third pressure plate 10 is located on the outside of the second bearing 5; the three pressure plates 10 play a role of limiting and fixing the tool rod 1 in the inner cavity, ensuring that the tool rod 1 does not loosen or shake when processing parts.

[0027] The first limit block 6 and the second limit block 7 are respectively located on the side of the turbine 2 and the second bearing 5 away from the blade mounting end. The first limit block abuts against the worm, and the second limit block is threadedly connected to the second bearing.

[0028] During implementation, a waist-shaped groove is provided on the tool rod 1, a waist-shaped block is placed in the waist-shaped groove, and the turbine 2 is connected to the tool rod 1 through the waist-shaped block in the waist-shaped groove to limit their relative movement.

[0029] During implementation, the reduction ratio between the turbine 2 and the worm 3 is 1:4.

[0030] During implementation, the driving end of the worm 3 is provided with a hexagon socket screw hole so as to be rotatable.

[0031] During implementation, the end surface of the driving end of the worm 3 is engraved with scales from 0° to 90° around the periphery, indicating that the thread lead angle rotates 90° every time the worm 3 rotates one circle.

[0032] During implementation, the first pressing plate 8 and the second pressing plate 9 are fixedly connected to the housing 11 by screws, and the third pressing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the second pressing plate 9 by screws.

[0033] During implementation, two of the first limiting blocks 6 and the second limiting blocks 7 are provided, which play a double limiting role on the knife bar 1.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] Processing of single and small batch parts with different external thread helix angles: Figure 6 , a product part processes an external thread part with a specific thread lead angle, and an adjustable external thread spiral lead angle cutting tool device is installed on a universal tool holder to realize the processing of parts on a machine tool.

[0036] By inserting a shim at the bottom of the universal toolholder, the cutter's vertical position is adjusted, ensuring it remains horizontal during part processing. This allows for rapid processing of external threads on parts with varying lead angles. Simply adjust the worm to the correct lead angle and the machine is ready for installation. Traditional processing methods would require a 3-5-day production cycle, requiring specialized toolholders with fixed lead angles. This significantly improves productivity and adapts to the demands of modern production processes.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] Inclined hole processing of batch parts: For the external thread processing of batch large parts (large pitch parts), the traditional external thread processing uses an integrated tool bar to process the parts. Processing parts of different materials requires changing tool bars of different materials for processing; this device ( Figure 5 ) It adopts cutter-type external thread processing, which has the characteristic of replaceable blades and does not wear the tool rod. Only one tool rod is needed to process parts of different materials. The blade is light and thin, which is convenient for storage and carrying, and can be replaced quickly. When processing special materials, special layer blades can be used for processing, which has a natural advantage over the integrated tool rod. Especially for the external thread processing of larger parts, the tool rod is heavier as a whole, and the difficulty of replacement greatly reduces the processing efficiency of the parts. In addition, the tip of the tool for large parts wears more, and the blade needs to be sharpened after processing 1-2 parts. Since the tool rod is heavy, it is more challenging for the skill level of the sharpening master. This device can greatly liberate productivity, can quickly remove and clamp parts, and improve the production efficiency of batch parts.

[0039] An adjustable external thread spiral angle cutting device has a simple structure, easy parts processing and manufacturing, low cost, adjustable angle, high positioning accuracy, strong applicability, and can greatly liberate productivity.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
