Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of thread tapping technology, and in particular relates to an internal thread mandrel for forming internal thread copper tubes. Background Technology

[0002] The forming process of internally threaded copper tubes has long faced technical bottlenecks. The frictional heat generated during traditional tapping can easily cause the copper tube material to soften during annealing, resulting in loss of thread precision and deterioration of surface roughness. Conventional cooling solutions cannot accurately deliver the cooling medium to the processing area due to structural limitations, and external spraying is inefficient and causes environmental pollution. At the same time, the unbalanced distribution of radial extrusion pressure can cause plastic deformation of the copper tube, resulting in out-of-tolerance diameter and excessive ellipticity. This directly affects the sealing performance and fatigue life of the product, restricting the application of high-precision refrigeration copper tubes in high-end fields.

[0003] To address these issues, we provide an internally threaded mandrel for forming internally threaded copper tubes. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model is an internal thread core for forming internal threaded copper tubes, including a tap 1, a water injection assembly 2, and a pressing assembly 3. The water injection assembly 2 includes a water storage bottle 201 and a water storage bottle cap 202. By connecting the water storage bottle cap 202 to one end of the tap 1, and fitting the water storage bottle 201 onto one side of the water storage bottle cap 202, when internally tapping the copper tube, the water storage bottle 201 and the tap 1 are inserted into the copper tube, driving the tap 1 to rotate, so that the tap 1 squeezes and taps the inner wall of the copper tube. At the same time, the water in the water storage bottle 201 enters the water injection channel 103 in the tap 1 and is discharged from the water dispersing hole 103a on the side wall of the tap 1, thereby cooling the inner wall of the copper tube. By installing the pressing assembly 3 on the outside of the shaft 102 at one end of the tap 1, the pressing assembly 3 is pressed against the outer wall of the copper tube to prevent the copper tube from expanding when the tap 1 taps the copper tube.

[0023] Specifically, a shaft disk 101 is fixed at one end of the tap 1, a shaft rod 102 is fixed at the end of the shaft disk 101 away from the tap 1, a water injection channel 103 is opened at the end of the tap 1 away from the shaft disk 101, a set of water dispersing holes 103a are opened on the side wall of the tap 1, the water dispersing holes 103a are connected to the water injection channel 103, a water injection pipe head 202a is fixed at one end of the water storage bottle cap 202, the water injection pipe head 202a is threaded into the inner wall of the water injection channel 103, the open end of the water storage bottle 201 is fixedly sleeved on the side of the water storage bottle cap 202 away from the water injection pipe head 202a, and the pressure pipe assembly 3 is sleeved on the outside of the shaft rod 102.

[0024] Furthermore, a water injection piston 201a is slidably sleeved inside the water storage bottle 201, and a compression spring 201a-1 is sleeved inside the water storage bottle 201. The two ends of the compression spring 201a-1 are respectively fixedly connected to the end face of the water injection piston 201a and the inner bottom surface of the water storage bottle 201. A vent hole 201b is opened through the bottom surface of the water storage bottle 201. The compression spring 201a-1 squeezes the water injection piston 201a, causing the water injection piston 201a to inject water from the water storage bottle 201 into the water injection channel 103 in the tap 1. Under the action of centrifugal force, the water in the water injection channel 103 is thrown from the water outlet 103a to the inner wall of the copper tube, thereby dissipating heat from the inner wall of the copper tube.

[0025] Furthermore, a horizontal sliding frame 202b is fixedly provided at the end of the water bottle cap 202 away from the water injection pipe head 202a, and two stop valves 202b-1 are horizontally slidably sleeved inside the horizontal sliding frame 202b.

[0026] Furthermore, a leaf spring 202b-2 is fixedly connected to each of the two stop valves 202b-1 on the side away from each other. The end of the leaf spring 202b-2 away from the stop valve 202b-1 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the horizontal sliding frame 202b. When the tap 1 rotates, the two stop valves 202b-1 squeeze the leaf spring 202b-2 under the action of centrifugal force, thereby allowing the water in the water storage bottle 201 to enter the water injection pipe head 202a.

[0027] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows: When tapping the internal threads of the copper tube, the water storage bottle 201 and the tap 1 are inserted into the copper tube, and the tap 1 is driven to rotate, so that the tap 1 squeezes and taps the inner wall of the copper tube. When the tap 1 rotates, the two stop valves 202b-1 squeeze the leaf spring 202b-2 under the action of centrifugal force, and the compressed spring 201a-1 squeezes the water injection piston 201a, so that the water injection piston 201a injects the water in the water storage bottle 201 into the water injection channel 103 in the tap 1. Under the action of centrifugal force, the water in the water injection channel 103 is thrown from the water outlet 103a to the inner wall of the copper tube, so as to dissipate heat from the inner wall of the copper tube. Example 2

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5Based on Embodiment 1, the pressing tube assembly 3 includes a mounting sleeve 301, a set of roller seats 302, and a set of pressing tube rollers 303. By mounting the mounting sleeve 301 on the outside of the shaft 102, and fixing a set of sliding seat sleeves 301a in a circumferential array on the outer side of the mounting sleeve 301, each roller seat 302 is slidably installed in each sliding seat sleeve 301a, and the pressing tube rollers 303 are rotatably installed in the roller seats 302, so that each pressing tube roller 303 presses the outer wall of the copper tube. When the tap 1 rotates, the pressing tube rollers 303 press against the outer wall of the copper tube and rotate with the tap 1, thereby preventing the copper tube from expanding outward.

[0029] Specifically, the mounting sleeve 301 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the shaft 102, and one side of the mounting sleeve 301 is attached to one side of the shaft 101. A set of sliding sleeves 301a are fixedly arranged in a circumferential array on the outer side of the mounting sleeve 301. The sliding sleeves 301a are U-shaped structures with their openings facing the axis of the mounting sleeve 301. The sliding sleeves 301a extend toward one side of the tap 1. Each roller seat 302 is slidably sleeved in each sliding sleeve 301a, and each pressure roller 303 is rotatably installed in each roller seat 302.

[0030] Furthermore, the two side plates of the slide sleeve 301a are respectively provided with slide grooves 301a-1. The length direction of the slide grooves 301a-1 is perpendicular to the edge of the mounting plate 301. The two ends of the roller seat 302 are respectively slidably sleeved in the two slide grooves 301a-1.

[0031] Furthermore, an adjusting screw 301a-2 is threaded through the upper top plate of the slide sleeve 301a. One end of the adjusting screw 301a-2 is rotatably mounted on the side of the roller seat 302 away from the pressure roller 303. Rotating the adjusting screw 301a-2 makes the pressure roller 303 fit tightly against the outer wall of the copper tube.

[0032] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows: Rotate the adjusting screw 301a-2 to make the pressure roller 303 stick to the outer wall of the copper tube. When the tap 1 rotates, the pressure roller 303 presses against the outer wall of the copper tube and rotates with the tap 1, thereby preventing the copper tube from expanding outward.
