Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and in particular to an internally expanding and externally contracting anti-deformation load-equalizing sleeve device for thread turning of thin-walled drill pipes. Background Technology
[0002] The increasing demand for coalbed methane has driven a trend towards lightweight drill pipes, with wall thicknesses reduced from the traditional 8-12mm to 4-6mm. However, thin-walled structures are prone to deformation during processing, especially when threading, due to clamping and cutting forces. Traditional three-jaw chuck clamping methods lead to localized stress concentrations, which, combined with the anisotropy of cold-rolled tubing, further exacerbates the deformation problem. This not only affects product quality but also increases rework costs and hinders large-scale production efficiency. Existing solutions suffer from low clamping efficiency and high modification costs, making them unsuitable for meeting actual production needs. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an internal expansion and external contraction anti-deformation load-sharing sleeve device for thread turning of thin-walled drill pipes, so as to solve the problems pointed out in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the aforementioned objectives of this utility model, the technical solution adopted is as follows:
[0005] A type of deformation-preventing and load-sharing sleeve device for thread turning of thin-walled drill pipes with internal expansion and external contraction, comprising:
[0006] An external constraint sleeve assembly includes a segmented sleeve body, an outer sleeve, and an end cap. The segmented sleeve body has multiple through slots evenly opened in the circumference along its length direction, and the two ends of the segmented sleeve body are symmetrically provided with first outer conical surfaces. The outer sleeve and the end cap are sleeved on the segmented sleeve body, and the outer sleeve and the end cap are threaded together. The ends of the outer sleeve and the end cap are respectively provided with first inner conical surfaces that match the first outer conical surfaces.
[0007] The internal support expansion sleeve assembly includes a segmented internal support body. The inner wall of the segmented internal support body is symmetrically provided with a second inner conical surface, and the two second inner conical surfaces are arranged in an inverted "V" shape. The segmented internal support body is provided with a left inner core and a right inner core, which are connected by connecting bolts. The outer surfaces of the left inner core and the right inner core are provided with a second outer conical surface that matches the second inner conical surface. The outer constraint sleeve assembly is used to provide a uniform radial constraint force on the outer wall of the thin-walled drill pipe; the internal support expansion sleeve assembly is used to provide a radial support force on the inner wall of the thin-walled drill pipe; the outer constraint sleeve assembly and the internal support expansion sleeve assembly work together to form a force balance system of "outer constraint-inner support".
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, there are eight through slots, and the width of the through slots is 4mm. The length of the through slots is 98% of the length of the sleeve, and 2% of the integrated structure is retained to ensure the overall rigidity.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the taper of the first outer conical surface is 30°.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the second inner conical surface is a 1:3 conical surface, and the surface of the second inner conical surface is coated with a molybdenum disulfide solid lubricant layer.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the connecting bolt is an M16×1.5 internal hexagonal flower-shaped cylindrical head bolt.

[0013] 1. This utility model, through its unique internal expansion and external contraction structure design, can effectively solve the deformation problem caused by clamping force and cutting force during the thread turning process of thin-walled drill rods, thereby significantly improving processing quality, reducing scrap rate, increasing product yield, and thus improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
[0014] 2. This utility model adopts a synergistic force balancing system of "external constraint-internal support". The external constraint sleeve assembly provides uniform radial constraint force, and the internal support expansion sleeve assembly provides radial support force, which effectively balances the cutting force and controls the roundness error of the thin-walled drill rod within 0.03mm, ensuring high-precision thread processing quality.
[0015] 3. The external constraint sleeve assembly of this utility model adopts an eight-lobed design, which makes the radial force distribution more uniform and effectively avoids the local stress concentration problem caused by the traditional three-jaw chuck clamping method, thereby reducing the deformation risk of thin-walled drill pipe.
[0016] 3. The second inner conical surface of this utility model adopts a 1:3 conical surface design and is coated with a molybdenum disulfide solid lubricating layer, which reduces the coefficient of friction, improves wear resistance, extends the service life of the device, and reduces the cost of use.
[0017] 4. This invention effectively solves the problem of clamping deformation during the thread turning process of thin-walled drill pipes, providing a reliable clamping solution for the efficient and precise machining of thin-walled drill pipes. Furthermore, the design of this device provides important technical support for the optimization of subsequent processes and intelligent production, promoting the progress and development of related technologies.
[0018] 5. This utility model features eight through-slots, each 4mm wide and 98% the length of the sleeve, retaining 2% of the integrated structure to ensure overall rigidity. The first outer conical surface has a taper of 30°, the second inner conical surface has a 1:3 conical surface, and the connecting bolts are M16×1.5 hexagonal socket head cap screws. These specific design parameters make the device structurally reasonable, facilitating manufacturing, installation, and use.
[0019] In summary, the internal expansion and external contraction anti-deformation load-sharing sleeve device for thread turning of thin-walled drill rods provided by this utility model can effectively solve the deformation problem in the thread turning process of thin-walled drill rods, improve processing quality and efficiency, extend the service life of the device, and provide support for process optimization and intelligent production.
