Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A connection structure between a pipe body and a joint of an aluminum alloy drill pipe is provided, and the connection structure comprises a first joint provided with an internal thread section, wherein an internal thread tooth bottom of the internal thread section is an inclined surface; and a second joint provided with an external thread section which is able to be fitted with the internal thread section and has threads of a complete tooth shape, a tooth height of the external thread section being larger than that of the internal thread section. The internal thread tooth bottom is designed as an inclined surface such that an external thread tooth crest is squeezed against the internal thread tooth bottom and plastically deformed along the inclined surface of the tooth bottom during an engagement, so that the engaged threads are self locked to effectively prevent the loosing of the engaged threads.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A connection structure between a pipe body and a joint of an aluminum alloy drill pipe, comprising: a first joint provided with an internal thread section, wherein an internal thread tooth bottom of the internal thread section is an inclined surface; and a second joint provided with an external thread section which is able to be fitted with the internal thread section and has threads of a complete tooth shape, a tooth height of the external thread section being larger than that of the internal thread section, wherein an inner bore of the first joint is tapered, the first joint has an inlet end, and a diameter of the internal thread tooth bottom is gradually decreased in a direction away from the inlet end within the first joint; and wherein an angle α between the internal thread tooth bottom and an axis of the internal thread section is larger than or equal to 14° and less than or equal to 16°. 2. The connection structure between the pipe body and the joint of the aluminum alloy drill pipe according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the internal thread section is equal to that of the external thread section. 3. The connection structure between the pipe body and the joint of the aluminum alloy drill pipe according to claim 2 , wherein a taper of the internal thread section is 1:8. 4. The connection structure between the pipe body and the joint of the aluminum alloy drill pipe according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the internal thread section has a strength larger than or equal to that of a material of the external thread section. 5. The connection structure between the pipe body and the joint of the aluminum alloy drill pipe according to claim 1 , wherein the first joint has a first seal end face, and the second joint is provided therein with a second seal end face fitted with the first seal end face. 6. The connection structure between the pipe body and the joint of the aluminum alloy drill pipe according to claim 1 , wherein a taper of the external thread section is 1:8. 7. The connection structure between the pipe body and the joint of the aluminum alloy drill pipe according to claim 6 , wherein an external thread tooth crest of the external thread section of the second joint is of a circular arc shape.
