[0002] In the field of machining, round dies are commonly used tools for machining or correcting external threads. Traditional round dies, lacking effective lubrication, generate significant heat during high-speed tapping when machining studs with large diameters and long thread sections, causing the die temperature to rise. This not only reduces the die's strength and shortens its service life but also affects the quality of the machined product, leading to problems such as increased thread surface roughness and decreased dimensional accuracy. Furthermore, traditional round dies typically require external lubrication, which struggles to ensure even and continuous lubrication to the cutting area, resulting in poor lubrication. Therefore, a new type of actively lubricated round die tool is needed to address these issues.

[0026] like Figure 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides an actively lubricated circular die tool, including a circular die body 1 and a drive assembly. The bottom of the drive assembly's cylindrical body 2 has a stepped surface 21, and the circular die body 1 is located on the upper part of the stepped surface 21 and is detachably connected to the cylindrical body 2. This design facilitates the installation and replacement of the circular die body 1. When the circular die body 1 wears out, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced with a new one, improving work efficiency. Several insertion holes 22 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the cylindrical body 2. A drive rod 3 is inserted into each insertion hole 22. The drive rod 3 can conveniently apply rotational force to the cylindrical body 2 and the circular die body 1, driving the circular die body 1 to perform thread machining.
[0027] In this embodiment, a lubrication assembly is provided above the circular die body 1. The lubrication assembly includes an inner cylinder 4 and an outer cylinder 5 nested together, forming an annular receiving cavity 6 for storing lubricating oil. The inner wall of the inner cylinder 4 is provided with several leakage holes 41, and the top of the outer cylinder 5 is provided with an oil inlet 51, which communicates with the receiving cavity 6. During operation, lubricating oil is injected into the receiving cavity 6 through the oil inlet 51, and then permeates into the cutting area of the circular die body 1 through the leakage holes 41, achieving active lubrication.
[0028] To further enhance the stability of the connection between the die body 1 and the cylinder 2, several positioning holes 11 are provided on the outer wall of the die body 1, and threaded holes 23 are provided on the side wall of the cylinder 2 corresponding to the positions of the positioning holes 11. The die body 1 and the cylinder 2 are connected by screws 7 passing through the threaded holes 23 and the positioning holes 11. This connection method not only ensures the stable installation of the die body 1 on the cylinder 2, but also ensures that the die body 1 will not shift during the machining process, thus guaranteeing machining accuracy.
[0029] In this embodiment, a guide strip 24 is vertically arranged on the inner sidewall of the cylinder 2, and a groove 12 is provided on the outer sidewall of the round die body 1 corresponding to the guide strip 24. The cooperation between the guide strip 24 and the groove 12 plays a guiding role when the round die body 1 is installed on the cylinder 2, which facilitates the installation. At the same time, it can also restrict the circumferential rotation of the round die body 1 on the cylinder 2, further improving the stability of the connection.
[0030] In this embodiment, a tray 8 is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the inner cylinder 4, and a second groove 81 is provided on the outer wall of the tray 8 corresponding to the guide strip 24. The outer cylinder 5 is disposed on the upper surface of the tray 8. The design of the tray 8 provides support for the outer cylinder 5. At the same time, the cooperation between the second groove 81 and the guide strip 24 allows the inner cylinder 4 and the outer cylinder 5 to be positioned more accurately during installation, and to a certain extent ensures the overall stability of the lubrication assembly.
[0031] In this embodiment, an annular groove 52 is provided on the bottom surface of the outer cylinder 5, and an annular groove 82 is provided on the top surface of the tray 8 at a position corresponding to the annular groove 52. A sealing ring 9 is provided between the annular groove 52 and the annular groove 82. This structure can effectively prevent lubricating oil from leaking between the outer cylinder 5 and the tray 8, ensuring the effective storage and normal flow of lubricating oil in the receiving cavity 6.
[0032] In this embodiment, the outer cylinder 5 consists of a lower cylinder portion 53 and an upper cover plate 54. The upper cover plate 54 is located at the upper end of the lower cylinder portion 53 and has an annular structure. It is threadedly connected to the top of the inner cylinder 4, and the oil inlet 51 is located on the upper cover plate 54. This structural design can press the lower cylinder portion 53 against the tray 8 to improve the sealing effect and facilitate the maintenance and cleaning of the lubrication assembly. When it is necessary to clean or inspect the receiving cavity 6, the upper cover plate 54 can be easily removed. At the same time, a sealing gasket 10 is provided between the upper cover plate 54 and the lower cylinder portion 53 to further enhance the sealing performance of the outer cylinder 5 and prevent lubricating oil leakage.
[0033] In this embodiment, a water tank 25 is provided on the outer side of the cylinder 2, and a through hole 26 is provided on the side wall of the water tank 25 at the position corresponding to the insertion hole 22. Several sealing rings 13 are provided in the through hole 26. Water is filled into the water tank 25 to achieve liquid cooling. The sealing rings 13 prevent the liquid in the water tank 25 from flowing out through the insertion hole 22.
[0034] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:
[0035] Installation process: When installing the round die tool, first align the groove 12 on the outer side wall of the round die body 1 with the guide strip 24 on the inner side wall of the cylinder 2. Then, slowly place the round die body 1 onto the stepped surface 21 of the cylinder 2 along the guide strip 24, aligning the positioning hole 11 on the round die body 1 with the threaded hole 23 on the side wall of the cylinder 2. Then, fix the round die body 1 onto the cylinder 2 by passing the screw 7 through the threaded hole 23 and the positioning hole 11. Next, install the inner cylinder 4 in a suitable position by engaging the guide strip 24 with the groove 81. Then, place the outer cylinder 5 on the upper surface of the tray 8, aligning the annular groove 52 on the bottom surface of the outer cylinder 5 with the annular groove 82 on the top surface of the tray 8, and install the sealing ring 9 between them. After that, connect the upper cover plate 54 to the top of the inner cylinder 4 by threads, and install the sealing gasket 10 between the upper cover plate 54 and the lower cylinder 53. Finally, insert the drive rod 3 into the insertion hole 22 on the outer wall of the cylinder 2 to complete the installation of the entire round die tool.
[0036] Working process: Before thread machining, an appropriate amount of lubricating oil is injected into the annular cavity 6 formed by the inner cylinder 4 and the outer cylinder 5 through the oil inlet 51. When thread machining is required, the operator holds the drive rod 3 and applies rotational force to the cylinder 2 and the die body 1, causing the die body 1 to rotate and perform thread machining. During the machining process, the lubricating oil in the cavity 6 permeates into the cutting area of the die body 1 through the drain hole 41 on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 4, lubricating the contact area between the die body 1 and the workpiece. At the same time, coolant can be added to the water tank 25 on the outer side of the cylinder 2 to conduct away the heat generated during the machining process in a timely manner.
[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model; however, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
