[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4This invention provides an adjustable thread calibration gauge. The adjustable thread calibration gauge includes a gauge body 100, which is used in conjunction with a calibration reference block 200. The calibration reference block 200 includes an upper reference block and a lower reference block. The upper reference block has a male end thread calibration reference surface 210 and a male end sealing surface calibration reference surface 220 respectively arranged from bottom to top on both sides. The lower reference block has a reference groove 230 at its lower end, and a female end thread calibration reference surface 240 and a female end sealing surface calibration reference surface 250 respectively arranged from top to bottom on both sides of the reference groove 230. The gauge body 100 includes a measuring scale 110, and a gauge fixing block 120 is fixedly mounted on one end of the measuring scale 110. A measuring tool movable block 130 that moves along the length direction is provided on 110. The measuring tool fixed block 120 includes an upper fixed block located above the measuring scale 110 and a lower fixed block located below the measuring scale 110. The measuring tool movable block 130 includes an upper movable block located above the measuring scale 110 and a lower movable block located below the measuring scale 110. The inner surfaces of the upper fixed block and the upper movable block are respectively provided with a female end thread taper calibration surface 140 and a female end sealing surface calibration surface 150 from bottom to top. The outer surfaces of the lower fixed block and the lower movable block are respectively provided with a male end thread taper calibration surface 160 and a male end sealing surface calibration surface 170 from top to bottom.

[0025] This utility model provides an adjustable thread calibration gauge. Compared with the prior art, it uses a calibration reference block 200 to calibrate the gauge body 100. The male end thread calibration reference surface 210, male end sealing surface calibration reference surface 220, female end thread calibration reference surface 240, and female end sealing surface calibration reference surface 250 of the calibration reference block 200 correspond to the male end thread taper calibration surface 160, male end sealing surface calibration surface 170, female end thread taper calibration surface 140, and female end sealing surface calibration surface 150 of the gauge body 100, respectively. The reading of the measuring scale 110 corresponding to the measuring movable block 130 is read. The gauge body 100 is used to calibrate and measure the API thread of the corresponding oil casing. For different types of threads, the calibration reference block 200 can be adjusted to adapt to different types of threads. This eliminates the need to prepare multiple types of measuring tools and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The measuring scale 110 is horizontally set, the measuring tool fixing block 120 is vertically fixed to one end of the measuring scale 110, and the measuring tool movable block 130 is vertically set and slides laterally on the measuring scale 110. The measuring tool movable block 130 slides laterally on the measuring scale 110, which can easily adapt to the measurement needs of different lengths. It can achieve precise sliding by manual operation or with the help of some mechanical devices (such as lead screws, gears, etc.).

[0027] Specifically, the measuring tool fixing block 120 is integrally molded onto one end of the measuring scale 110. This integral molding process avoids the connection gaps and error accumulation problems that may occur with traditional splicing methods, greatly improving the stability and structural strength of the entire measuring device. The measuring tool fixing block 120 and the measuring scale 110 are perfectly integrated in terms of material, maintaining a high degree of consistency in their physical and chemical properties, effectively reducing measurement errors caused by differences in the thermal expansion coefficients between different materials.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A through hole is provided on one side of the middle portion of the movable block 130 of the measuring instrument. The through hole is fitted onto the measuring scale 110 and slides along the length of the measuring scale 110. When the through hole is fitted onto the measuring scale 110, a unique relationship is formed between the two, which is both tightly fitted and allows for flexible sliding. This tight fit effectively avoids the wobbling and offset of the movable block during the sliding process, thereby minimizing the generation of measurement errors. Its smooth sliding along the length of the measuring scale 110 makes diverse measurement needs possible. In addition, to further optimize the sliding performance, the inner wall of the through hole is usually subjected to special surface treatment, such as fine grinding or coating, to reduce the coefficient of friction, making the movable block 130 of the measuring instrument slide more smoothly, while also reducing wear caused by friction, extending the service life of the entire measuring device, ensuring its long-term stable and accurate measurement performance, and meeting the stringent requirements for high-precision measurement in industrial production and scientific research fields.

[0029] Preferably, a notch 180 is provided on one side of the through hole, and the width of the notch 180 is smaller than the width of the measuring scale 110. When the measuring tool movable block 130 is fitted onto the measuring scale 110 through the through hole, the presence of the notch 180 will not affect the tight fit between the measuring scale 110 and the through hole, ensuring that the measuring tool movable block 130 can slide smoothly along the length direction of the measuring scale 110, and will also provide more flexibility and operability for the measurement process. The position of the notch 180 makes it convenient to observe the degree readings on the measuring scale 110.

[0030] In the first embodiment, a main scale line is provided on the lower side of the front face of the measuring scale 110 along the length direction, and an auxiliary scale line is provided on the lower edge of the notch 180. In the second embodiment, a main scale line is provided on the upper side of the front face of the measuring scale 110 along the length direction, and an auxiliary scale line is provided on the upper edge of the notch 180. The above two embodiments provide two positional relationships between the main scale line and the auxiliary scale line, respectively. The auxiliary scale line is used in conjunction with the main scale line, which greatly compensates for the inaccuracy of the main scale line in some cases. When the size of the object being measured is between two adjacent graduations of the main scale line, the auxiliary scale line plays an important role. The operator can read the measurement value more accurately by observing the relative position of the auxiliary scale line and the main scale line on the measuring scale 110. The main scale line on the lower or upper side of the front face of the measuring scale 110 and the auxiliary scale line on the lower or upper edge of the notch 180 of the measuring instrument movable block 130 cooperate to jointly construct an efficient and accurate measurement system.

[0031] Specifically, the measuring instrument body 100 is made of metal. The metal materials used to manufacture the measuring instrument body 100 include stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloy, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
