Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an accessory of a mouth expander, in particular to a locking and clamping mechanism used on the mouth expander for locking and clamping pipes. Background Art
[0002] In the existing expander lock clamp structure, one lock clamp can be replaced with lock blocks of different specifications to meet the processing requirements of pipes of different specifications. The lock block has a threaded hole and is fixed in the lock clamp body by screws. During the replacement of the lock block, it is not easy to align the screw with the threaded hole because the lock block has no limit in the circumferential direction.
[0003] In the existing expander lock clamp structure, the lock clamp stopper is skewed under the action of spring force, which makes it impossible to accurately determine whether the insertion depth meets the standard when the pipe is inserted into the lock clamp. At the same time, during the expansion process of the expander, the lock clamp stopper will swing continuously under the action of spring force, making abnormal noises because the cone head of the expansion pipe is eccentrically arranged. Utility Model Content

[0006] The other end of the first locking clamp body is a first bite portion, and the other end of the second locking clamp body is a second bite portion. The first bite portion and the second bite portion are both L-shaped structures that are staggered and matched with each other to achieve bite assembly.
[0007] The inner walls of the first locking clamp body and the second locking clamp body have grooves, and the outer wall of the locking block has protrusions, and the grooves and protrusions cooperate with each other.
[0008] The inner walls of the first locking clamp body and the second locking clamp body have protrusions, and the outer wall of the locking block has a groove, and the groove and the protrusion cooperate with each other.
[0009] The end of the wrench hinged to the connecting plate is a pressing portion, and the pressing portion is pressed and movably matched with the other end of the second locking clamp body. The wrench is L-shaped or arc-shaped as a whole.
[0010] The locking block is formed by splicing at least two single locking bodies together.
[0011] The first locking clamp body and the second locking clamp body have screw holes penetrating the side walls at positions cooperating with the locking block, and screws are arranged in the screw holes.
[0012] The first locking clamp body and one end of the second locking clamp body are hingedly connected to each other through a hinge shaft; the extrusion part is fixed to the second engaging part of the second locking clamp body through a fixing pin and a fixing hole.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The expander locking mechanism in the figure is designed with a locking clamp assembly 1 and a locking block 2; the locking clamp assembly 1 is used to fix the locking block 2 to fix the pipe, so that it is convenient for the expander to perform the expanding operation; the locking block 2 is used to lock and fix the pipe. In practical applications, the above components can be further optimized, such as optimizing local components or adding other components.
[0035] The locking clamp assembly 1 in the figure is designed with a first locking clamp body 11, a second locking clamp body 12, a connecting plate 13, a wrench 14, a blocking plate 15, and an elastic body 16; wherein the first locking clamp body 11 and the second locking clamp body 12 form a structure in which one end is axially connected and the other end is bitten, so that the interior is enclosed to form a hollow cavity structure to lock the locking block 2; the connecting plate 13 is used to make the first locking clamp body 11 and the wrench 14 form a hinged relationship so as to clamp and fix the first locking clamp body 11 and the second locking clamp body 12 at this position; the wrench 14 is used to clamp the second locking clamp body 12 to prevent the second locking clamp body 12 and the first locking clamp body 11 from loosening and causing the locking block 2 to detach; the function of the blocking plate 15 is the same as the existing one; the elastic body 16 is used to limit the movement of the blocking plate 15 to prevent it from swinging. The first locking clamp body 11 in the figure is respectively designed with a first hinged portion 111 and a first bite portion 112 at the ends of both ends, and the second locking clamp is also designed with a second hinged portion 121 and a second bite portion 122 at the ends of both ends. In this way, the hinged assembly of the two hinged portions is achieved by matching the hinge shaft 188 at the first hinged portion 111 and the second hinged portion 121. At the same time, the first bite portion 112 and the second bite portion 122 are both designed to be L-shaped structures and are staggered with each other to achieve the bite assembly in the figure, that is, active fit. In order to achieve the mutual fixed positioning of the locking clamp body and the locking block 2, a concave-convex positioning structure can be designed between the locking clamp body and the locking block 2, such as a groove 186 is designed on the inner wall of the first locking clamp body 11 and the second locking clamp body 12, and a protrusion 185 is designed on the outer wall of the locking block 2, so that the groove 186 and the protrusion 185 cooperate with each other; or a protrusion 185 is designed on the inner wall of the first locking clamp body 11 and the second locking clamp body 12, and a groove 186 is designed on the outer wall of the locking block 2, and similarly the groove 186 and the protrusion 185 cooperate with each other.
[0036] The connecting plate 13 in the figure is a flat plate structure, which has two and is arranged on both sides of the lock clamp body, so that one end of the connecting plate 13 can be hinged to the first bite portion 112 of the first lock clamp body 11 through the hinge shaft 188, and the other end is hinged to the wrench 14. In order to facilitate the fixation of the hinge shaft 188, a retaining ring 181 and a washer 182 can be arranged at the hinge position of the hinge shaft 188, so that the end of the connecting plate 13 is between the retaining ring 181 and the washer 182.
[0037] The wrench 14 in the figure is an L-shaped or arc-shaped structure as a whole, so that the end of the wrench hinged to the connecting plate 13 can be called an extrusion portion 141, so that the extrusion portion 141 can be inserted into the second bite portion 122 to cooperate with the fixing pin 183 and the fixing hole to realize the hinged assembly of the wrench 14 and the second bite portion 122 of the second lock clamp body 12.
[0038] The baffle 15 in the figure is designed at the hinged position where the first lock clamp body 11 and the second lock clamp body 12 are located at the hinged part. The baffle 15 is a baffle-shaped structure as a whole. In order to limit and fix the baffle 15, the second lock clamp body 12 at the corresponding position is designed with an elastic hole 17 structure and a matching elastic part such as a spring, so that the spring can form a resistance assembly with the baffle 15.
[0039] The locking block 2 in the figure is formed by two semicircular single locking bodies 21 spliced together. In practical applications, the locking block 2 can also be formed by multiple single locking bodies 21. In order to fix the locking block 2 with screws 184, the first locking clamp body 11 and the second locking clamp body 12 have screw holes 187 penetrating the side walls at the positions cooperating with the locking block 2, and the screws 184 are arranged in the screw holes 187.
