It has the advantages of small and reasonable structure, easy to carry, easy to operate and good expansion effect.

[0005] However, the tube expander in the above technology still has the following problems:

[0006] Although the heating layer and the cooling layer can prevent cracks in the plastic pipe during the expansion operation, when installing and connecting the non-metallic pipe joints of the liquid cooling equipment, the diameters of the plastic pipes are not uniformly standardized, and expansion operations cannot be performed on different plastic pipes. Utility Model Content

[0007] In response to the deficiencies of the existing technology, the utility model provides a standardized operating tool for non-metallic pipe joints of liquid cooling equipment, such as being able to perform pipe expansion operations according to plastic pipes of different diameters, thereby improving the applicability of the standardized operating tool for non-metallic pipe joints of liquid cooling equipment.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the tool handle away from the heating block is connected to a base, and the tool handle is perpendicular to the middle position of the base.

[0010] Furthermore, a threaded block is fixedly connected to one end of the tool handle close to the base, a threaded hole is penetrated through the middle position of the base, and the threaded block is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the tube expansion assembly includes a conical head and an expansion block, the conical head is fixedly connected to the expansion block, and the expansion block is connected to the mounting assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the installation assembly includes an internal threaded tube and an external threaded rod, one end of the internal threaded tube is fixedly connected to the heating block, the end of the internal threaded tube away from the heating block passes through a through hole, the external threaded rod is threadedly connected to the internal threaded tube, and the end of the external threaded rod away from the internal threaded tube is fixedly connected to the expansion block.

[0013] Furthermore, both sides of the tool handle close to one end of the heating block are fixedly connected with protective rings, and the two protective rings are respectively sleeved with two internal threaded tubes.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This standardized operating tool for non-metallic pipe joints in liquid cooling equipment can heat the expansion assembly through the heating block, thereby facilitating the expansion operation of the end of the plastic pipe, so as to connect it to another plastic pipe.

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0023] See also Figure 1 - Figure 5 A standardized operating tool for non-metallic pipe joints of liquid cooling equipment includes a tool handle 1, a cavity 101 is provided in the tool handle 1, a heating block 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the cavity 101, and through-holes 102 are opened on both sides of the tool handle 1 close to the heating block 2, and mounting components are connected in the two through-holes 102, and expansion tube components are connected at the ends of the two mounting components away from each other. A control circuit board 3 is provided in the cavity 101, the heating block 2 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 3, and the control circuit board 3 is electrically connected to an external power supply through an electric wire passing through the cavity 101.

[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, the standardized operating tool for non-metallic pipe joints of liquid cooling equipment in the present invention is similar in structure to the existing standardized operating tool for non-metallic pipe joints of liquid cooling equipment. The main improvement of the present invention is that the user can replace different expansion components according to different pipe diameters to achieve the expansion operation of plastic pipe fittings, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, when using the standardized working tool for the non-metallic pipe joint of the liquid cooling equipment in the utility model, a suitable expansion assembly is selected according to the diameter of the plastic pipe that needs to be expanded, and is installed on the heating block 2 at the end of the tool handle 1 through the installation assembly. Then, the external power supply is connected to the control circuit board 3 through the wire to power the control circuit board 3. The control circuit board 3 controls the heating block 2 to heat up and transfers the heat to the expansion assembly through the heating block 2. After the temperature of the heating block 2 rises, the expansion assembly also completes the heating. At this time, the expansion assembly is connected to the end of the plastic pipe. The high temperature of the expansion assembly is used to expand the end of the plastic pipe. Then, the expanded pipe fitting is quickly put on the end of another plastic pipe to be connected, thereby completing the quick joint between the two plastic pipes. By selecting a suitable expansion assembly, plastic pipes of different diameters can be expanded, thereby improving the applicability of the working tool.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the end of the tool handle 1 away from the heating block 2 is connected to the base 4, and the tool handle 1 is perpendicular to the middle position of the base 4. By installing the base 4 at the bottom of the tool handle 1, the tool handle 1 can be placed on the ground with both hands free, making it more convenient to perform the tube expansion operation.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a threaded block 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the tool handle 1 near the base 4. A threaded hole 401 is formed in the middle of the base 4, and the threaded block 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 401. The connection between the threaded block 5 and the threaded hole 401 facilitates the installation and removal of the base 4 and the tool handle 1. When not needed, the base 4 can be removed. At the same time, after being disassembled, the base 4 and the tool handle 1 are more convenient to store and carry.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the tube expansion assembly includes a conical head 6 and an expansion block 7. The conical head 6 is fixedly connected to the expansion block 7, which is connected to the mounting assembly. Before expansion, the inner diameter of the end of the plastic tube is smaller than that of the expansion block 7. The conical head 6 is inserted into the plastic tube and gradually softens the end of the plastic tube by high temperature. At the same time, the expansion block 7, the conical head 6, and the plastic tube are pressed together. The plastic tube gradually expands due to the conical head 6, eventually making the inner diameter of the end of the tube the same as the outer diameter of the expansion block 7, thus completing the tube expansion operation. The expanded tube is then withdrawn from the tube expansion assembly and quickly inserted onto the end of another tube, completing the interconnection between the two tubes.

[0028] like Figure 3 - Figure 5As shown, the installation assembly includes an internal threaded tube 8 and an external threaded rod 9, one end of the internal threaded tube 8 is fixedly connected to the heating block 2, the end of the internal threaded tube 8 away from the heating block 2 passes through the through hole 102, the external threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded tube 8, and the end of the external threaded rod 9 away from the internal threaded tube 8 is fixedly connected to the expansion block 7. When installing the expansion block 7, the external threaded rod 9 at the end of the expansion block 7 is brought close to the internal threaded tube 8 fixed on the heating block 2, and the expansion block 7 is rotated, so that the external threaded rod 9 is screwed on the internal threaded tube 8 to complete the connection and fixation between the expansion block 7 and the heating block 2, wherein the external threaded rod 9, the internal threaded tube 8, the expansion block 7 and the conical head 6 are all made of metal with good heat conduction and low thermal expansion, which facilitates the rapid conduction of the high temperature of the heating block 2 to the conical head 6 and the expansion block 7. At the same time, after gradually heating up, the low thermal expansion can avoid large deformation of the expansion block 7, which affects the accuracy of the tube expansion operation. At the same time, the low thermal expansion of the external threaded rod 9 and the internal threaded tube 8 can avoid long-term high-temperature use, which causes deformation and damage of the internal threaded tube 8, thereby improving the service life of the internal threaded tube 8.

[0029] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a protective ring 10 is fixedly connected to both sides of the tool handle 1 near the end of the heating block 2. The two protective rings 10 are respectively sleeved with two internally threaded tubes 8. The protective rings 10 protect the internally threaded tubes 8 on the inside, which can not only prevent the high-temperature internally threaded tubes 8 from scalding the user, but also protect the internally threaded tubes 8 from collision and deformation caused by external objects.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
