Description
A gas meter parts manufacturing and processing device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gas meter parts processing technology, specifically relating to a gas meter parts production and processing device. Background Technology
[0002] When milling threads on copper pipes, the processing equipment for copper connectors of gas meter accessories mostly uses chucks and shaft-type parts for centering and clamping. Due to the different hardness and thickness of the copper pipes to be processed, the copper pipes are prone to deformation during thread milling. Once the copper pipes are deformed, they cannot be used, which affects production and causes waste. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a gas meter accessory manufacturing and processing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

This provides internal support when milling threads on the outside of the copper connector. A cutting mechanism, including a milling cutter, is provided on one side of the internal support mechanism for milling threads on the outside of the copper connector.
[0007] Preferably, the inner support rods are configured in two sets. In use, the positions of the two sets of inner support rods are adjusted so that the two sets of inner support rods are tightly attached to the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the copper connector, thereby supporting the interior and preventing deformation when milling threads on the outside of the copper connector.

The upper end of the processing box is connected to the lower support rod, and the upper support rod is slidably connected to the upper end of the lower support rod, thereby allowing the height of the upper support rod to be adjusted. One end of the upper support rod is connected to the mounting disc, serving to support the mounting disc. The limiting component is provided on one side of the lower support rod, serving to limit and fix the upper and lower support rods.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting rod, one side of the lower support rod is threadedly connected to the limiting rod, and one side of the upper support rod has several sets of limiting grooves that cooperate with the limiting rod. After adjusting the height of the upper support rod, the end of the limiting rod is installed in the corresponding limiting groove to achieve limiting and fixing of the upper support rod and the lower support rod.
[0011] Preferably, the driving component includes a cylinder, a moving plate, and a slider. The moving plate is provided at the upper end of the processing box, and the slider is connected to the lower end of the moving plate. A groove that cooperates with the slider is opened at the upper end of the processing box. The rotary motor is installed at the upper end of the moving plate. The cylinder is also installed at the upper end of the processing box. The output end of the cylinder is connected to the moving plate. During processing, it can drive the copper connector to be processed to move.
[0012] Preferably, the cutting mechanism further includes an electric push rod, a mounting base, and a second cylinder. The electric push rod is installed at the upper end of the machining housing for adjusting the height of the milling cutter. The output end of the electric push rod is connected to the mounting base. The second cylinder is installed on one side of the mounting base. The output end of the second cylinder is connected to the milling cutter through a connecting rod for driving the milling cutter to move.
