The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent the same components. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Compared to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, feasible embodiments within the scope of this application may have fewer components, other components not shown in the drawings, different components, differently arranged components, or components with different connections, etc. Furthermore, two or more components in the drawings may be implemented in a single component, or a single component shown in the drawings may be implemented as multiple separate components.

[0027] See appendix Figure 1-6 This application discloses a tightening machine for an oil casing and anti-corrosion oil pipe thread protector, comprising a movable base, a fixed unit, and a tightening unit. The fixed unit includes a fixed pipe 1 and a first clamping member 11, which is threadedly connected to the fixed pipe. The movable base includes a base plate 2 and a sliding plate 3. The tightening unit includes a rotating bracket 4, a rotating mechanism 5, a rotating motor 6, and a hydraulic cylinder 7. The output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate 3. The sliding plate 3 is slidably connected to the base plate 2. The rotating bracket 4 is provided above the sliding plate 3. The first clamping member 11 cooperates with the fixed pipe 1 to fix the oil casing. The rotating bracket 4 includes an annular bracket 41, a first bracket 42, a second bracket 43, and a connecting bearing 44. The annular bracket 41 is equipped with ball bearings, and the annular bracket 41 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 51. The rotating mechanism 5 includes the sleeve 51 and the second clamping member 52. The second clamping member 52 and the sleeve 51 are used to fix the oil pipe thread protector. The end of the sleeve 51 is provided with a rotating shaft 53. The annular bracket 41 is engaged with the sleeve 51. The connecting bearing 44 is rotatably engaged with the rotating shaft 53. The second clamping member 52 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 51. The outer circumference of the sleeve 51 is provided with gear patterns 8. The output shaft of the rotary motor 6 is provided with a gear 9. The gear 9 is engaged with the gear patterns 8. Therefore, with the cooperation of the rotating bracket 4, the rotating shaft 53 and the connecting bearing 44, the rotary motor 6 drives the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate, thereby driving the rotation of the oil pipe thread protector inside.

[0028] Specifically, the first clamping member 11 includes a first knob, a first connecting rod, and a first base. The fixed tube is provided with a first through hole, and the first connecting rod is threadedly connected to the first through hole. The second clamping member 52 includes a second knob, a second connecting rod, and a second base. The sleeve 51 is provided with a second through hole, and the second connecting rod is threadedly connected to the second through hole. The first clamping member 11 is threadedly connected to the fixed tube 1 through the first connecting rod. By adjusting the first knob, the depth of the first connecting rod extending into the fixed tube 1 is controlled, thereby achieving the fixation of the oil casing. Similarly, the second clamping member 52 achieves the fixation of the oil pipe thread protector.

[0029] Specifically, the two ends of the first bracket 42 are fixedly connected to the annular bracket 41 and the sliding plate 3, respectively, and the two ends of the second bracket 43 are fixedly connected to the connecting bearing 44 and the sliding plate 3, respectively. The rotating bracket 4 supports the sleeve 51, which rotates circumferentially on the rotating rod bracket. The connecting bearing 44 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 53 at the end of the sleeve 51. The rotating bracket 4 cooperates with the sliding plate 3, and the movement of the sliding plate 3 drives the sleeve 51 to move.

[0030] Specifically, a groove is provided on the inner wall of the fixed pipe. The groove cooperates with the first base plate. When the oil casing enters the fixed pipe, the first base plate is placed in the groove, which will not affect the filling of the oil casing.

[0031] Specifically, there are six first clamping parts 11 and six second clamping parts 52, which are used to fix the oil casing and related thread protectors.

[0032] Specifically, the bottom surfaces of both the first and second chassis are equipped with rubber pads. These rubber pads reduce wear on the oil casing.

[0033] Specifically, the fixing tube 1 and the sleeve 51 are coaxially arranged. This facilitates alignment between the oil sleeve and the sleeve 51, and makes tightening operations easier.

[0034] Specifically, the tightening machine also includes a power supply and a controller, wherein the power supply is electrically connected to the controller, the hydraulic cylinder 7 and the rotary motor 6.

[0035] As a further improvement of this application, the fixed tube 1 is divided into a left fixed tube 12 and a right fixed tube 13, which are fixed together by screws and nuts. The left fixed tube 12 and the right fixed tube 13 are provided with fixed seats at their upper and lower contact ends, and the two are detachably connected. After tightening using the tightening machine of this application, the left fixed tube 12 and the right fixed tube 13 can be disassembled to realize the transportation of the oil casing. Furthermore, each end of the left fixed tube 12 and the right fixed tube 13 is provided with a support arm. One side of the fixed tube is fixed, and the support arm of the other side is provided with a slide rail, allowing for sliding.

[0036] In use, the oil casing is first moved into the left fixed tube 12 and the right fixed tube 13, and the left fixed tube 12 and the right fixed tube 13 are fixedly connected. The oil casing is fully fixed using the first clamping member 11, and the oil pipe thread protector is fixed using the second clamping member 52. The controller controls the operation of the oil cylinder 7 and the rotary motor 6. The oil cylinder 7 drives the sliding plate 3 to move towards the side of the fixed tube 1, and the rotary motor 6 drives the oil pipe thread protector to rotate relative to the oil casing, tightening both. After tightening, by releasing the second clamping member 52, the controller controls the oil cylinder 7 to move in the opposite direction, causing the sleeve 51 of the rotating mechanism 5 to separate from the oil pipe thread protector. After separation, the first clamping member 11 is released, and the threaded nuts placed on the upper and lower parts of the fixed tube are removed. The left fixed tube 12 and the right fixed tube 13 are then disassembled, thus completing the subsequent operations of the oil casing.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
