  • Patent number: 10046406
    Abstract: A turning and thread-rolling machine with a pre-compression device includes a fixing base on which the pre-compression device, a fixing mechanism, a guiding base, a processing mechanism assembly, and a control unit are provided, wherein the pre-compression device includes a carrier and at least two cold-rolling heads in order to form by compression a pre-compressed annular groove in a portion of an unprocessed rebar that is adjacent to one end thereof, and, under the control of the control unit, the fixing mechanism clamps the rebar, and the guiding base displaces the processing mechanism assembly to the end of the rebar to perform turning and thread rolling sequentially, thereby processing the end of the rebar into a coupling end. The pre-compressed annular groove facilitates on-site inspection of thread quality and prevents the thread-rolling dies in the processing mechanism assembly from contact with, and hence damage by, the ribs on the rebar.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9713863
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an automatic steel bar coupling head making machine including a positioning mechanism, a transverse moving mechanism, a longitudinal moving mechanism, a processing mechanism assembly and a control mechanism, wherein, when a steel bar is positioned between two fixtures of the positioning mechanism and an end of the steel bar presses against a positioning detection rod of the processing mechanism assembly, the processing mechanism assembly sends a start signal to the control mechanism and, upon receipt of the start signal, the control mechanism drives the positioning mechanism, the transverse moving mechanism, the longitudinal moving mechanism and the processing mechanism assembly, for enabling the two fixtures to clamp the steel bar and then enabling the processing mechanism assembly to sequentially perform a first turning, a second turning and a thread rolling on peripheral edge of the steel bar adjacent to the end of the steel bar.

  • Patent number: 7032286
    Abstract: A section of heat treated solid steel rod receives a phosphate solution treatment and is inserted into a blind cavity of a first die member within a cold forging press. A punch is forced axially into the rod section in successive steps to cold-forge a first bore and a tubular first end portion of a coupler body. A second end portion of the coupler body is also cold-forged in successive steps after treatments and is either reduced in diameter to receive external threads or is formed with a second bore. Each of the first and second bores receives an end portion of a concrete reinforcing bar after which the tubular end portion of body is compressed or swaged inwardly to secure the body to the reinforcing bar. The second bore may also be machined with internal threads for receiving the external threads on another coupler.
