[0028] Example

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the thread repair tool proposed in this utility model includes a bolt hole 7 and a long-handled comb 1 and a short-handled comb 2 for repairing it. Both the long-handled comb 1 and the short-handled comb 2 are equipped with a limiting support 4, which supports the long-handled comb 1 and the short-handled comb 2 for normal operation. The bottom end of each limiting support 4 is provided with a positioning seat 3, which is a structural component installed or fixed to the bottom of the limiting support 4 to ensure stable positioning of the support. Its function is to help the limiting support 4 maintain a fixed position during use, preventing displacement or tilting.

[0030] The positioning seat 3, in conjunction with the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2, positions the bolt hole 7. The long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2 are connected to the balancer 5 via the hanging ring 6, allowing them to move up and down. The weight of the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2 is balanced by the upper balancer 5, and the tension range of the balancer 5 covers the weight of the comb blades. Each limiting support column 4 has a balancer 5 at its top, which is a device or tool used to adjust, maintain, or restore balance. The bottom of each balancer 5 is connected to a hanging ring 6 supporting the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2. The hanging ring 6 is movably connected to the top of the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2. Both the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2 have dials. The hanging ring 6 has a positioning nut 61 that locks the top of the core rod 128, preventing it from moving upwards too far.

[0031] In addition, this embodiment also includes a centering guide cylinder 121 sleeved at the bottom of the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2. The bottom of the centering guide cylinder 121 has an upper centering groove 131, and the bottom of the blade 123 has a lower centering groove 132 for engaging with the threaded inner wall of the bolt hole 7. The bottom of both the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2 is connected to a tool holder 122. The tool holder 122 has a tool setting ring cylinder 133 inside, and several blades 123 are arranged in a circumferential array on the tool holder 122. The blade 123 is a tool used to repair damaged or worn threads, and is commonly used in metal processing, mechanical repair, and equipment maintenance. Its main function is to restore or improve the size, shape, and function of the thread to ensure that the thread can work normally.

[0032] It is worth noting that both the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2 have a core rod 128 inside. A tapered sleeve 130 and a tapered shaft 129 are connected below the core rod 128. The coarse adjustment nut 124 and fine adjustment nut 126 at the top push or pull back the tapered sleeve 130 and tapered shaft 129, allowing the blade 123 to open or retract. Because the core rod 128 of the long-handled comb blade 1 has a long cantilever structure, existing linear bearings ensure the straightness of the core rod 128. In addition, the thread repair equipment is also equipped with a standard expansion disc, which controls the opening size of the long-handled comb blade 1 or the short-handled comb blade 2 when repairing the bolt hole 7 by machining the main thread of a standard size. The tool holder 122 has a tapered shaft 129 inside, and a tapered sleeve 130 is fitted on the top of the tapered shaft 129. The top end of the core rod 128 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the core rod 128. The bottom of the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2 are the blade heads, and the blade heads of the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2 are slidably fitted with the blade holder 122 to control the rotation of the blade heads for repairing the bolt holes 7. The tapered sleeve 130 is connected to the tapered shaft 129, and the tapered sleeve 130 is connected to the blade 123 to control the extension and retraction of the blade 123. In order to enable the blade heads to automatically align with the center of the bolt holes 7, both of these connections are loose connections to ensure that the blade heads have a certain amount of movement in the vertical and circumferential directions after entering the bolt holes 7.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, an adjustment mechanism is provided at the top of the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2. The adjustment mechanism includes a coarse adjustment nut 124, a limit nut 125, and a fine adjustment nut 126 sequentially arranged at the top of the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2. The coarse adjustment nut 124 is a nut used to adjust the position of components in machinery or equipment, typically used for coarse adjustments, facilitating a wide range of adjustments. The limit nut 125 is also a nut used to adjust the position of components in machinery or equipment, typically used for coarse adjustments, facilitating a wide range of adjustments. The fine adjustment nut 126 is a nut used for precise adjustment of the position of mechanical components, typically having finer threads and higher adjustment accuracy. The coarse adjustment nut 124, limit nut 125, and fine adjustment nut 126 are all screwed to the top of the core rod 128. The top of the long-handled comb blade 1 has an internal linear bearing 127 that supports the rotation of the core rod 128. The linear bearing 127 is a mechanical component used to support and guide linear motion, typically used in conjunction with shafts, guide rails, etc., to reduce friction and provide smooth linear motion. Its main function is to enable the components it works with (such as sliders, worktables, etc.) to slide smoothly and precisely on a straight track.

[0034] In this embodiment, when a thread repair tool is required, the depth and tooth surface of the internal thread defect in the bolt hole 7 are first determined by inspection. Then, either a long-handled comb 1 or a short-handled comb 2 is selected as needed, and the long-handled comb 1 or short-handled comb 2 is hoisted and positioned using the limiting support 4, the balancer 5, and the lifting ring 6. Next, the torque value of the balancer 5 is adjusted according to the position of the defect on the tooth surface. When the defect is on the upper tooth surface, the torque value of the limiting support 4 is adjusted to be less than the balancing weight, so that the long-handled comb 1 or short-handled comb 2 presses against the upper tooth surface of the inner wall of the bolt hole 7; when the defect is on the lower tooth surface, the torque value of the limiting support 4 is adjusted to be greater than the balancing weight, so that the long-handled comb 1 or short-handled comb 2 is against the upper tooth surface of the inner wall of the bolt hole 7. Next, install the tool holder 122 at the bottom of the long-handled comb blade 1 and the short-handled comb blade 2. Use a wrench to rotate the unfolding shaft of the blade 123 to expand it. At this time, observe the dial on the long-handled comb blade 1 or the short-handled comb blade 2 and record the angle of rotation. Then, retract the long-handled comb blade 1 or the short-handled comb blade 2 and manually insert it into the bolt hole 7. When it reaches the depth of the defect, unfold the long-handled comb blade 1 or the short-handled comb blade 2 according to the recorded angle on the dial. Finally, use a torque wrench to rotate the core rod 128 so that the long-handled comb blade 1 or the short-handled comb blade 2 passes through the defect jamming section. Then, rotate the blade 123 counterclockwise out of the bolt hole 7, thus completing the repair of the internal thread of the bolt hole 7.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of this utility model described above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
