[0006] The utility model clamps the damaged threaded rod by rotating the connected first block and the second block, matches the thread on the threaded rod with the first repair thread in the first semicircular groove and the second semicircular groove, and then rotates the thread repair device or the damaged threaded rod to repair the thread on the damaged threaded rod so that it can be smoothly screwed into the corresponding position of the equipment, thereby achieving immediate repair of the damaged thread, avoiding a major impact on the construction period, ensuring the integrity of the equipment, and avoiding safety hazards.

[0007] Furthermore, an extension column is provided at one end of the first block and the second block being detachably connected, and a through hole is provided on the extension column for accommodating one end of the second block. A threaded hole connected to the through hole is provided at the end of the extension column away from the first block, and a screw is provided in the threaded hole.

[0008] By embedding one end of the second block into the through hole and tightening the screw to fix the first block and the second block, and then loosening the screw and rotating the second block to open the first semicircular groove and the second semicircular groove, it is convenient to embed and clamp the damaged screw, and to repair the damaged screw.

[0009] Furthermore, the length of the screw is greater than or equal to the length of the through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a butterfly nut for gripping is provided at one end of the screw away from the extension column, which is convenient for hand gripping and enhances the firmness of manually tightening the screw without the need for additional tools, making operation and use more convenient.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of first notches are formed on the inner side walls of the first semicircular groove and the second semicircular groove, and the first notches cut the first repair thread into a plurality of thread segments.

[0012] Since metal debris will be generated when repairing the thread, in order to prevent the metal debris from entering the intact thread and damaging it, a first notch is set so that the debris generated when repairing the thread can leave the first notch as soon as possible, ensuring that the thread will not be damaged again during the repair.

[0013] Furthermore, a handle is provided on one side of the first block. During the repair operation, the repair device needs to be rotated, so the handle can be convenient for the operator to grasp.

[0014] Furthermore, the surface of the handle is provided with anti-skid grooves to increase the friction of the handle and prevent the operator from slipping when gripping the handle.

[0015] Furthermore, a hanging ring is provided on one side of the first block. By setting a noose on the hanging ring, the thread repair device can be carried around the neck or other places for easy use.

[0016] Furthermore, a prismatic hole is provided on the first block, an extension rod is detachably connected to the prismatic hole, and a second repair thread is provided on the extension rod.

[0017] The extension rod and the second repair thread are used to repair the damaged internal thread, and the prismatic hole limits the extension rod circumferentially to prevent relative rotation between the device and the extension rod when the rotating device repairs the damaged internal thread. At the same time, extension rods of different sizes can be installed in the prismatic hole, which increases the adaptability of the device.

[0018] Furthermore, the extension rod is provided with a plurality of second notches, and the second notches cut the second repair thread into a plurality of thread segments.

[0019] Since metal debris will be generated when repairing the thread, in order to prevent the metal debris from entering the intact thread and damaging it, a first notch is set so that the debris generated when repairing the thread can leave the first notch as soon as possible, ensuring that the thread will not be damaged again during the repair.
