[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7The tube expander using a split spindle assembly 3 in the figure is designed with a shell 1, a driving mechanism 2, a spindle assembly 3, and a working head 4; the shell 1 is used to support and fix other components, the driving mechanism 2 is used to make the spindle assembly 3 perform lateral telescopic action, the spindle assembly 3 is used to drive the working head 4 to expand the tube when performing the telescopic action, and the working head 4 is used to expand the tube of the object to be expanded. In practical applications, the above components can be re-optimized.

[0023] The shell 1 in the figure belongs to the external part of the original expander. The shell 1 is composed of parts that are split in half horizontally. The interior of the shell 1 is a cavity structure, so as to accommodate components such as motors and batteries. The shell 1 is designed with a base 11 and a top seat 12 as shown in the figure, wherein the top seat 12 is fixedly mounted on the base 11, so that the top seat 12 accommodates components such as the drive mechanism 2 and the spindle assembly 3, and the base 11 is used to accommodate components such as batteries and motors. The shell 1 is also equipped with existing buttons 13 and control panels. The top seat 12 is composed of a top cover 121 and a bottom cover 122 that are split in half horizontally, wherein the bottom cover 122 is fixed on the base 11, and the top cover 121 and the bottom cover 122 have openings and cavities at the matching splicing positions, so that the cavity of the top seat 12 can be formed when the top cover 121 and the bottom cover 122 are enclosed with each other.

[0024] The driving mechanism 2 in the figure is an internal component of the existing tube expander. As shown in the figure, an eccentric wheel 21 and a push wheel 22 structure are designed. The eccentric wheel 21 has an eccentric outer contour on the outside. The push wheel 22 is a bearing structure fixed to the main shaft assembly 3 while keeping in contact with the outer contour of the eccentric wheel 21. At the same time, a longitudinally installed pin 23 is sleeved on the push wheel 22, and the fixed sleeve 32 has a pin seat 321 with a notch 3211 at the corresponding position, so that the pin 23 can be installed on the pin seat 321. Through the above design, when the motor rotates, the eccentric wheel 21 uses the change of the curved outer contour to realize the telescopic push of the bearing, thereby driving the main shaft assembly 3 to perform the corresponding telescopic action. In practical applications, the outer contour of the eccentric wheel 21 can be optimized and adjusted.

[0025] The spindle assembly 3 in the figure is composed of two separate parts, which are respectively designed as a replacement head 31 and a fixed sleeve 32.

The replacement head 31 is also designed with an axial portion 312 and a threaded portion 313 facing the fixed sleeve 32, wherein the threaded portion 313 is on the outside, and the axial portion 312 is between the threaded portion 313 and the conical surface 311. The axial portion 312 adopts a round shaft structure to maintain axial positioning and fixation with the cavity inside the fixed sleeve 32, and the threaded portion 313 forms an external thread, which is threadedly matched with the internal thread inside the fixed sleeve 32 to realize the screw connection fixation between the replacement head 31 and the fixed sleeve 32. The fixing sleeve 32 is respectively designed with a cylindrical portion 322, an annular portion 323 and a pin seat 321, wherein the annular portion 323 is in the middle position and has a diameter greater than that of the cylindrical portion 322, wherein the cylindrical portion 322 has a cavity inside to facilitate the insertion of the axial portion 312 and the threaded portion 313, and the diameter of the cavity is greater than the diameter of the internal thread, so that the diameter of the matching axial portion 312 is greater than the diameter of the external thread, thereby ensuring the axial positioning of the replacement head 31 and the fixing sleeve 32. The annular portion 323 is used to fix the entire fixing sleeve 32, and the pin seat 321 is used to cooperate with the pin 23 on the pushing wheel 22.

[0026] The working head 4 in the figure is a component of an existing tube expander, which is assembled from multiple components and realizes the tube expansion action under the action of the main shaft assembly 3.
