[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the specific structure of this utility model; Figure 2 This is a top view of the cutter head structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0012] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0013] A tool for scraping the copper teeth of the outer oil baffle of a steam turbine bearing, comprising: The scraper head 1 has a wedge-shaped cutting edge 11 at its working end that matches the angle of the oil baffle copper teeth; The handle 2 is a long rod, with the scraper head 1 fixedly connected to the front end; The handle 3 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the knife handle 2 can be slidably inserted into the handle 3; The length adjustment mechanism 4 is located inside the handle 3 and is used to drive the tool holder 2 to move axially. The cutting edge plane of the scraper head 1 is perpendicular to the axis of the handle 2, and the handle 2 and the grip 3 are coaxially slidingly engaged.

[0014] When scraping the copper teeth of the outer oil baffle of a steam turbine bearing, the operator can first hold the handle 3 in their hand and precisely adjust the length of the cutter handle 2 extending beyond the handle 3 using the length adjustment mechanism 4 to accommodate the scraping needs of copper teeth at different depths and positions. Then, using the wedge-shaped cutting edge 11 of the scraper head 1 to tightly fit against the surface of the copper teeth, the operator pushes the handle 3 with a steady and even force, causing the scraper head 1 to precisely scrape along the angle of the copper teeth. Because the cutting edge plane of the scraper head 1 is perpendicular to the axis of the handle 2, the consistency of the scraping direction during the scraping process is ensured, avoiding damage to the copper teeth caused by angular deviations. Simultaneously, the coaxial sliding fit between the handle 2 and the handle 3 makes the operation more flexible and stable, improving scraping efficiency and accuracy.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the wedge-shaped cutting edge 11 of the scraper head 1 is formed by the intersection of a vertical surface and a 60° inclined surface, the width of the cutting edge is adapted to the spacing of the oil baffle copper teeth, and the material is a white steel cutting blade with a hardness higher than that of copper.

[0016] This design allows the wedge-shaped cutting edge 11 to cut more effectively into the gaps between the copper teeth during scraping, improving the scraping effect. The vertical facet ensures the stability of the cutting edge during scraping, while the 60° inclined facet provides a suitable scraping angle, making the scraping process smoother. The precise design of the cutting edge width ensures a match with the spacing of the copper teeth in the oil stop, avoiding incomplete scraping or damage to the copper teeth due to a cutting edge that is too wide or too narrow. At the same time, the use of high-performance stainless steel cutting blades with a hardness higher than copper ensures the durability and scraping efficiency of the scraper head 1, extending the service life of the scraper.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the length adjustment mechanism 4 includes a threaded hole 41 at the tail end of the handle 3, and an adjustment screw 42 is internally threaded into the threaded hole 41. One end of the adjustment screw 42 is located inside the handle 3 and is fixedly connected to the tail end of the handle 2, while the other end extends to the outside of the handle 3.

[0018] By rotating the adjusting screw 42, the extension length of the handle 2 and scraper head 1 relative to the grip 3 can be easily adjusted, thus adapting to the scraping needs of copper teeth at different depths. This not only enhances the applicability of the scraper but also allows operators to more precisely control the scraping depth and force during the scraping process, further improving the accuracy and efficiency of scraping. At the same time, the stability of the threaded connection ensures that the adjusted length is not easily loosened, guaranteeing the stability and safety of the scraping process.

[0019] Furthermore, the design of this length adjustment mechanism 4 also takes into account the convenience and comfort of the operator. The rotation of the adjusting screw 42 is simple and quick, requiring no complicated tools or steps to adjust the length, greatly saving the operator's time and effort. Moreover, the other end of the adjusting screw 42 extends to the outside of the handle 3, allowing the operator to adjust the length directly by rotating the adjusting screw 42 without having to insert their hand into the handle 3, thus improving the convenience and comfort of operation.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, an adjusting handle 43 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the adjusting screw 42. The design of the adjusting handle 43 allows the operator to manually rotate the adjusting screw 42, enabling length adjustment without the need for other tools, greatly improving operational convenience. The surface of the adjusting handle 43 is provided with anti-slip texture, increasing the friction between the hand and the adjusting handle 43, preventing adjustment errors due to slippage during rotation, and further improving operational stability and accuracy. In addition, the adjusting handle 43 is made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring its long-term reliability and durability.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the length adjustment mechanism 4 further includes: Sliding grooves 44 are formed on the inner walls of both sides of the grip 3; The sliding block 45 is fixed at both ends of the tool holder 2, and the sliding block 45 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 44.

[0022] The sliding groove 44 provides guidance and limits for the extension length of the handle 2 and the scraper head 1, ensuring smoothness and accuracy during adjustment. The tight fit between the sliding block 45 and the sliding groove 44 effectively prevents the handle 2 from shaking or shifting during adjustment, further improving the stability and precision of scraping. Meanwhile, both the sliding groove 44 and the sliding block 45 are made of high-strength, wear-resistant materials, ensuring stability and durability over long-term use and extending the scraper's service life.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the grip 3 is provided with anti-slip textured section 31 in the middle, and the surface of the grip 3 has raised grid patterns distributed in an alternating manner. The length of the anti-slip textured section 31 covers the single-hand grip area.

[0024] This design not only enhances the friction between the grip 3 and the hand, effectively preventing slippage during use and improving operational safety, but also increases tactile feedback through the interlaced raised mesh pattern. This allows users to more clearly perceive the shape of the grip 3 while holding it, thus enabling more precise control over the scraper's operating force and direction. Furthermore, the anti-slip grooves 31 cover the single-handed grip area, ensuring good anti-slip performance and grip comfort for both left-handed and right-handed users, further improving the overall user experience and operational efficiency of the scraper.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, a scale strip 21 is etched on one side of the handle 2. The front end face of the grip 3 corresponds to a certain scale mark on the scale strip 21. When the grip 3 is rotated to a specific position, the front end face of the grip 3 aligns with the corresponding scale mark, thus visually displaying the current working status and extension length of the scraper. This design not only facilitates precise control and adjustment of the extension length of the scraper 1 during use but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of operation through visual indication.
