DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more precise definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" another component, it may be directly on the other component or there may also be a central component. When a component is considered to be "connected to" another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may also be a central component. When a component is considered to be "set on" another component, it may be directly set on the other component or there may also be a central component. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0025] As attached Figure 1 The figure shows the expansion and positioning device of the cold shrink tube of the present invention, which includes a table top 1, on which a fixing seat 2 is installed. The fixing seat 2 has a circular opening 21, and a flexible auxiliary sleeve 16 is connected around the opening 21. The auxiliary sleeve 16 is used to penetrate the cold shrink tube 14 to be expanded so that the subsequent expansion device 5 can be inserted for expansion.

[0026] A linear drive device 3 is installed on one side of the fixed seat 2. The linear drive device 3 includes a guide rail fixedly connected to the table 1 and a slider slidably connected to the guide rail. The slider is connected to a mounting seat 4. An expansion device 5 coaxial with the opening 21 is installed on the mounting seat 4. Figure 2 As shown, the expansion device 5 is driven by the linear drive device 3 to move through the opening 21 and into the auxiliary sleeve 16 or out of the opening 21 and away from the fixing seat 2 .

[0027] The other end of the fixed seat 2 is provided with a sliding seat 6 which is slidably connected to the table 1. The sliding seat 6 is provided with a mounting wall 7 and a mounting shaft 8 which are coaxial with the opening 21. The moving direction of the sliding seat 6 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the expansion device 5. Figure 5 , Attachment Figure 6 As shown, a rotating rod 9 parallel to the axis of the opening 21 is provided between the mounting wall 7 and the mounting shaft 8. The mounting wall 7 is annular, and at least two pressure blocks 10 are connected around the mounting wall 7. In this embodiment, there are three pressure blocks 10, which are evenly connected around the mounting wall 7 to make the force more balanced and stable. The pressure blocks 10 are machined with first mounting holes 101 and second mounting holes at intervals. The pressure blocks 10 are rotatably connected to the mounting wall 7 through the first mounting holes 101. One end of the rotating rod 9 is inserted into the second mounting hole and movably connected to the second mounting hole. The mounting shaft 8 is machined with external threads, and a screw member 11 is spirally connected to the mounting shaft 8. The end of the screw member 11 near the mounting wall 7 is equipped with connecting rods 12 corresponding to the number of pressure blocks 10. One end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the screw member 11, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 9. When the screw member 11 is rotated, the pressure blocks 10 are synchronously retracted or opened to clamp the support tube 15. When the screw member 11 is rotated, the connecting rod 12 rotates and drives the rotating rod 9, and the rotating rod 9 drives the pressing block 10 to swing around the first mounting hole 101. Figure 5 The pressing block 10 is shown in a folded state. Figure 6 The pressure block 10 is shown in an open state. According to the different rotation angles of the screw 11, the pressure block 10 is retracted to different positions, making it suitable for clamping support tubes 15 of different diameters. In this embodiment, the inner side surface of the pressure block 10 is an outwardly convex arc surface, and the inner side surface of the pressure block 10 has anti-slip grooves, which further improves the stability of the clamping and prevents the support tube 15 from slipping or falling off. When the screw 11 rotates, a small amount of displacement occurs along the axis direction. During this process, the rotating rod 9 is slightly inserted or pulled out of the second mounting hole for adaptive adjustment. The screw 11 and the mounting shaft 8 are spirally connected to ensure a stable clamping and prevent loosening. A shell 13 is installed on the sliding seat 6, and the pressure block 10, the rotating rod 9 and the connecting rod 12 are all accommodated in the shell 13 to avoid being affected by dust and impurities.

[0028] As attached Figure 7As shown, the expansion device 5 includes an expansion tube 51 with a through-hole 52 machined along its axis. The through-hole 52 allows the support tube 15 to pass through. A conical expansion head 55 is mounted on the end of the expansion tube 51 near the fixing base 2 to facilitate insertion into the shrink tube 14. The end of the expansion tube 51 near the mounting base 4 has an air inlet 53. The surface of the expansion tube 51 is machined with a plurality of air outlet holes 54 at even intervals, which communicate with the air inlet holes 53. During use, the air inlet holes 53 are connected to an air pump, and gas is ejected through the air outlet holes 54, allowing the expansion device 5 to move more smoothly within the auxiliary sleeve 16 and shrink tube 14, preventing the shrink tube 14 from clinging to the expansion device 5 and hindering its movement.

[0029] When in use, the cold shrink tube 14 to be expanded is put on the flexible auxiliary sleeve 16, and the linear drive device 3 is started to insert the expansion device 5 through the opening 21 into the auxiliary sleeve 16 to expand the cold shrink tube 14. When the expansion head 55 of the expansion device 5 passes through the cold shrink tube 14, the expansion head 55 is removed. Figure 3 As shown, a support tube 15 of corresponding size is inserted into the through hole 52 of the expansion cylinder 51, with one end of the support tube 15 exposed. The sliding seat 6 is moved to align the mounting wall 7 with the support tube 15. One end of the support tube 15 is inserted into the mounting wall 7. The screw member 11 is rotated to cause the pressure block 10 to contract and tighten the support tube 15. The slider of the linear drive device 3 then moves in the opposite direction, and the expansion cylinder 51 is withdrawn from the shrink tube 14. The shrinking shrink tube 14 wraps around the support tube 15, completing the expansion. As the expansion cylinder 51 withdraws, the shrink tube 14 pulls on the support tube 15. The pressure block 10 firmly clamps the support tube 15 to prevent it from shaking, making the expansion process smoother and more reliable.
