DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Combination Figures 1 to 3 , an electric expander host, used for expanding the end of a pipe fitting in cooperation with a chuck, comprising: a pipe expanding device 1; a driving device 2, which is installed on the pipe expanding device 1 and is used to drive the pipe expanding device 1 to work; wherein the pipe expanding device 1 comprises: a machine base 11, a box shell 12 is installed at its rear end by screws; a transmission mechanism 3, which is rotatably arranged in the machine base 11, and the rear end extends into the box shell 12, and the transmission mechanism 3 is connected to the driving device 2; an eccentric mechanism 4, which is installed in the machine base 11, and the rear end of the eccentric mechanism 4 is placed in the transmission mechanism 3; a threaded feeding mechanism 5, which is installed in the box shell 12, and the rear end of the threaded feeding mechanism 5 is threaded into the box shell 12, and the front end of the threaded feeding mechanism 5 is connected to the eccentric mechanism 4; the eccentric mechanism 4 at least has: an eccentric seat 6, a guide portion 61 protrudes at its rear end, and a guide hole 62 is opened in the guide portion 61; a buffer assembly 7 of the threaded feeding mechanism 5 is installed on the guide portion 61, and the front end of the screw 51 of the threaded feeding mechanism 5 is inserted into the guide hole 62 and connected to the buffer assembly 7 through a pin 8.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the transmission mechanism 3 includes a worm wheel 30 and a worm 32 that mesh with each other. The worm 32 is driven by a motor, and the motor is powered by a lithium battery. The rear end of the eccentric mechanism 4 is placed in the cavity of the worm wheel 30, and a transmission groove 31 is opened in the worm wheel 30 along the axis.

[0044] like Figure 4 The driving device 2 includes: a motor for driving the worm 32 to rotate and a battery for supplying power to the motor, and a shell is arranged outside the motor and the battery.

[0045] The transmission mechanism 3 drives the eccentric mechanism 4 to rotate, and the eccentric mechanism 4 drives the screw 51 to rotate through the pin shaft 8. The screw 51 is threadedly connected to the box shell 12 and rotates forward. The forward movement of the screw 51 causes the buffer assembly 7 to push the eccentric mechanism 4 forward to cooperate with the chuck to achieve pipe expansion of the pipe fitting.

[0046] The front end of the screw 51 is inserted into the guide hole 62, and the contact force area between the screw 51 and the guide hole 62 is large. The screw 51 is constrained by the guide hole 62, and the shaking of the screw 51 is reduced when it rotates forward in the box shell 12, so that the coaxiality of the screw 51 and the eccentric seat 6 is high, and the torque transmission efficiency between the screw 51 and the nut 52 described below is high, which reduces the load of the motor and improves the use efficiency of the pipe expander.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the guide portion 61 is provided with an avoidance hole 611 which passes through the side wall of the guide portion 61, and the pin shaft 8 is movably inserted into the avoidance hole 611; the buffer assembly 7 includes: an elastic member 71, which is sleeved on the guide portion 61, and the front end of the elastic member 71 movably abuts against the rear end surface of the eccentric seat 6; a support sleeve 72, which is sleeved on the guide portion 61 and connected to the screw 51 through the pin shaft 8; when the screw 51 of the threaded feeding mechanism 5 moves forward, the support sleeve 72 movably abuts against the elastic member 71, so that the front end of the elastic member 71 abuts against the rear end surface of the eccentric seat 6, thereby pushing the eccentric mechanism 4 forward.

[0048] The support sleeve 72 is a metal sleeve, such as an aluminum sleeve, a steel sleeve or an iron sleeve.

[0049] The elastic member 71 is a tendon member, a spring or a disc spring. The elastic member 71 can prevent the pin shaft 8 from contacting the front end of the avoidance hole 611 of the guide portion 61 when the screw rod 51 pushes the pin shaft 8 forward to push the support sleeve 72 forward. The pin shaft 8 will not directly apply thrust to the front end of the avoidance hole 611 of the eccentric seat 6, thereby preventing the front end of the inner wall of the avoidance hole 611 of the eccentric seat 6 from being worn and deformed due to the extrusion of the pin shaft 8, thereby extending the service life of the eccentric seat 6.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 The threaded feeding mechanism 5 at least includes: a nut 52, which is clamped at the rear end of the box shell 12, and a screw rod 51, which is threadedly connected to the nut 52; a mounting hole 121 is opened at the rear end of the box shell 12, and a limiting groove 122 is provided along the axis in the mounting hole 121, a limiting protrusion 521 is provided on the side wall of the nut 52 along the axis, and a boss 522 is formed at the front end of the nut 52; when the rear end of the boss 522 abuts against the edge of the mounting hole 121 and the limiting protrusion 521 is clamped in the limiting groove 122, the clamping connection between the nut 52 and the box shell 12 is realized; the rear end of the boss 522 abuts against the edge of the mounting hole 121 to prevent the nut 52 from moving backward in the mounting hole 121 and disengaging, and at the same time, there is friction between the nut 52 and the mounting hole 121 to prevent the nut 52 from moving forward in the mounting hole 121 and disengaging when the screw rod 51 rotates and moves backward in the nut 52.

[0051] like Figure 1A connecting hole 721 penetrating the supporting sleeve 72 is provided on the side wall of the supporting sleeve 72, a connecting hole 511 is provided on the side wall of the screw rod 51, the pin shaft 8 is passed through the connecting hole 511, and the end of the pin shaft 8 passes through the avoidance hole 611 and the connecting hole 721 and is placed in the transmission groove 31 of the worm gear 30, so as to realize the connection between the screw rod 51 and the supporting sleeve 72. When the worm gear 30 rotates to make the pin shaft 8 rotate, the pin shaft 8 drives the supporting sleeve 72, the screw rod 51 and the eccentric seat 6 to rotate.

[0052] like Figure 1 A bearing 64 is sleeved on the front end of the eccentric seat 6 , a slip ring 65 is slidably arranged between the middle hole of the bearing 64 and the outer side wall of the eccentric seat 6 , and the outer side of the bearing 64 abuts against the machine base 11 .

[0053] A positioning hole 66 is provided at the front end of the eccentric seat 6 , and a pipe expansion cone head 68 is rotatably connected to the positioning hole 66 via a bearing 2 67 , and an angle is formed between the axis of the positioning hole 66 and the axis of the eccentric seat 6 .

[0054] When the screw rod 51 extends into the guide hole 62 , the axes of the eccentric seat 6 and the screw rod 51 coincide with each other, so that the screw rod 51 moves more stably in the guide hole 62 .

[0055] The specific structure of the chuck can be referred to the description in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN112317627A, which will not be repeated here.

[0056] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
