The adjusting components 6 are connected to the first inclined blocks 23 one by one and are used to drive the first inclined blocks 23 to move along the first sliding grooves 25.

[0037] Specifically, after the transmission rod 1 drives the third inclined surface 21 of the first inclined block 23 to abut against the first inclined surface 41 of the key strip 4 and drives the fourth inclined surface of the second slider 3 to abut against the second inclined surface 42 of the key strip 4, the adjusting assembly 6 drives the first inclined block 23 to move along the first chute 25, so that the third inclined surface 21 of the first inclined block 23 further presses the first inclined surface 41 on the first key strip 4. In this embodiment, the transmission rod 1 can achieve coarse adjustment of the key strip 4, and the adjusting assembly 6 can achieve fine adjustment of the key strip 4, further ensuring the accuracy of installing multiple key strips 4 on the expansion cylinder 5.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first adjusting member 61 is in threaded connection with the first inclined block 23, so that the first adjusting member 61 can push the first inclined block 23 forward; the second slider 3 is in threaded connection with the left-handed nut 22, so that the second adjusting member 62 can pull the first inclined block 23 backward; by rotating the first adjusting member 61 and the second adjusting member 62, the first inclined block 23 can be driven to move back and forth in the first chute 25; in addition, the first adjusting member 61 applies a forward thrust to the first inclined block 23, and the second adjusting member 62 applies a backward pulling force to the first inclined block 23, ensuring the stability of the first inclined block 23 installed in the first chute 25.

[0041] In one embodiment, the second slider 3 includes a right-handed nut and a plurality of second inclined blocks.

[0043] Understandably, by applying a pulling force to the key strip 4 through the third adjusting member 7, the third adjusting member 7 flattens the key strip 4, ensuring the circular runout accuracy of the key strip 4 bulged on the expansion cylinder 5.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the positioning ring 8 is provided with a third through hole, the inclined block is provided with a third threaded hole, and the third screw on the third adjusting member 7 passes through the third through hole and is threadedly connected to the third threaded hole.

[0045] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a first notch 81 is provided on the inner wall of the positioning ring 8, and the key strip 4 is inserted into the first notch 81. Understandably, when the third adjusting member 7 drives the key strip 4, after the key strip 4 is flush with the inner wall of the first notch 81, it indicates that the third adjusting member 4 has flattened the key strip 4.

[0046] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the mechanical expansion shaft further includes an elastic member 9 sleeved on the transmission rod 1, and the elastic member 9 abuts against all the key strips 4.

The first slider 2 will drive the key strip 4 to move outward along the first through hole 52 through the mutually abutting first inclined surface 41 and the third inclined surface 21, and the key strip 4 will compress the elastic member 9. When the transmission rod 1 is rotated in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the transmission rod 1 will drive the first slider 2 and the second slider 3 to move away from each other. The first inclined block 23 and the second slider 3 will release the restriction on the key strip 4, and the elastic member 9 will drive the key strip 4 to move inward along the first through hole 52 (the key strip 4 is reset). In this embodiment, the design of the elastic member 9 ensures the stability of the movement of the key strip 4 on the expansion cylinder 5.

[0048] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 shown, the mechanical expansion shaft further includes a plurality of positioning members 91 installed on the expansion cylinder 5; the positioning members 91 are in contact with the key strip 4 and are used to position the key strip 4. It can be understood that the positioning members 91 include but are not limited to positioning ball beads, positioning pins, etc. In this embodiment, the positioning members 91 are in contact with the key strip 4, and the positioning members 91 can effectively prevent the key strip 4 from being misaligned during repeated expansion and reset.

[0049] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 shown, the mechanical expansion shaft further includes a plurality of pressing blocks 92 all installed on the expansion cylinder 5, and the positioning members 91 are installed on the pressing blocks 92 in a one-to-one correspondence; a second notch 43 is provided on the key strip 4, and the positioning members 91 are in contact with the bottom wall of the second notch 43.

[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the mechanical expansion shaft further includes a cylinder cover 93 detachably installed on the expansion cylinder 5, and the cylinder cover 93 is used to cover the internal space 51. Further, the cylinder cover 93 is also connected to the transmission rod 1, and the transmission rod 1 can be driven to rotate through the cylinder cover 93. After the cylinder cover 93 is removed from the expansion cylinder 5, the first adjusting member 61 and the second adjusting member 62 can be driven.
