[0002] With the continuous development of urban construction, the maintenance and repair of infrastructure such as drainage pipes are becoming increasingly important. In the field of municipal engineering construction, projects such as new roads, road reconstruction and expansion, and treatment of black and odorous water bodies all involve the construction of sewage and rainwater drainage pipes. During the repair process of drainage pipes, it is often necessary to plug the drainage pipes. The existing construction process generally uses thermoplastic molding to perform plugging operations. During the operation, the lining pipe is first dragged into the interior of the pipe to be repaired, and then the pipe mouth is heated by hot steam to soften the pipe mouth. Next, the pipe mouth is opened with a tool, and an air bag is placed to achieve plugging. After cooling and shaping in the well, the plugging operation can be completed. The traditional plugging process often requires several people to work together to open the heated pipe mouth, which has problems such as complex operation, low efficiency, and high cost.

[0063] The technical solution of this application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] The expansion device provided in this application is used to expand the opening of a thermoplastic tube to facilitate insertion of an airbag. Figure 1 As shown, the expansion device includes a driving mechanism 1 and an expansion mechanism 2.

[0065] like Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, the driving mechanism 1 includes:

[0066] The hand wheel 101 is a disc structure, which is convenient for the operator to rotate. The hand wheel 101 can also be replaced with a handle in a shape of a straight line, a cross, etc., which is convenient for the operator to rotate.

[0067] The screw rod 102 is a cylindrical screw rod with an external thread, one end of which is fixed to the center of the hand wheel 101 and the other end is threadedly connected to the push plate 105. When the hand wheel 101 rotates, the screw rod 102 is driven to rotate together.

[0068] Push plate 105 is a disc-shaped structure with a threaded first through-hole at its center, which is threadedly connected to one end of screw rod 102. When handwheel 101 rotates, it drives screw rod 102 with it, allowing push plate 105 to move forward and backward along the axis of screw rod 102. Several second through-holes are provided around the first through-hole of push plate 105.

[0069] The retaining frame 103 is a disc-shaped structure with a third through hole in the center for accommodating the screw rod 102 to pass through.

[0070] Several columnar slide bars 104: one end is fixedly connected to the holder 103 around the third through hole, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 201 of the expansion mechanism 2 (see Figure 6 The middle portion of each slide bar 104 passes through a second through hole of the push plate 105. When the push plate 105 moves back and forth along the screw rod 102 under the drive of the hand wheel 101, the slide bars 104 can prevent the push plate 105 from rotating.

[0071] Four first push rods 106 are columnar structures. One end is fixedly connected to the push plate 105 around the first through hole, and the other end is pinned to one end of the second push rod 107. When the push plate 105 moves back and forth along the screw 102, the first push rods 106 also move back and forth along the screw 102. The four first push rods 106 are of equal size.

[0072] The second push rod 107 of the four columnar structures is connected to the first push rod 106 at one end and to the second pin seat 212 of the main arm 202 at the other end (see Figure 9 ). The four second push rods 107 have equal sizes.

[0073] like Figure 1 、 Figure 6-Figure 12 As shown, the expansion mechanism 2 includes:

[0074] Fixed frame 201, such as Figure 6As shown, it is a hollow cylindrical structure with one end closed. The open end surface of the fixed frame 201 is fixedly connected to a plurality of slide bars 104. The side of the fixed frame 201 has a through-long slot 205 every 90 degrees. A first pin hole 207 for accommodating a pin is defined in the center of the slot 205. All first pin holes 207 are located in the same plane, perpendicular to the axis of the fixed frame 201's columnar structure. The fixed frame 201 is pin-connected to the main arm 202 through the first pin holes 207. A support 206 extends outward from the center of the closed end surface of the fixed frame 201. The support 206 has four first pin seats 208, each located along the length of an extended slot 205. Each first pin seat 208 has two second pin holes 209 for accommodating a pin. All second pin holes 209 are located in the same plane, perpendicular to the axis of the fixed frame 201's columnar structure. Each first pin seat 208 is connected to a secondary arm 214 through the second pin hole 209 (see Figure 10 ).

[0075] 4 main arms 202, such as Figure 7 As shown, the main arm 202 is an L-shaped structure with an obtuse angle between the short side and the long side. The long side of the L-shaped structure of the main arm 202 has a fourth pin hole 211 at one end away from the short side. The main arm 202 is pin-connected to the rod base 203 through the fourth pin hole 211 (see Figure 11 The main arm 202 has a third pin hole 210 at the intersection of the long side and the short side of the L-shaped structure. The short side of the main arm 202 has a second pin seat 212 at one end away from the long side. The second pin seat 212 has a fifth pin hole 213 for accommodating the pin shaft. Figure 9 As shown, during installation, the short side of the L-shaped structure of the main arm 202 passes through the elongated slot 205 of the fixing frame 201 and extends into the interior of the fixing frame 201. The third pin hole 210 and the first pin hole 207 accommodate the pin shaft, thereby pin-connecting the main arm 202 to the fixing frame 201. The second pin seat 212 of the main arm 202 is pin-connected to one end of the second push rod 107. The four main arms 202 are of equal size.

[0076] 4 auxiliary arms 214, such as Figure 10 As shown, the auxiliary arm 214 is a columnar structure. One end of the auxiliary arm 214 is pin-connected to a support 206 of the fixed frame 201, and the other end is pin-connected to the rod base 203. The four auxiliary arms 214 have equal sizes.

[0077] 4 rod holders 203, such as Figure 11 As shown, rod base 203 is an L-shaped structure. The end of the long side of the L-shaped structure of rod base 203, away from the short side, has a pin hole, which is used to connect to one end of the main arm 202. The end of the short side of the L-shaped structure of rod base 203, away from the long side, also has a pin hole, which is used to connect to one end of the auxiliary arm 214. The four rod bases 203 are of equal size.

[0078] The distance A between the first pin hole 207 and the second pin hole 209 is equal to the distance B between the two pin holes on the rod seat 203. Since the distance A is equal to the distance B, the main arm 202 and the auxiliary arm 214 always maintain a parallel posture when rotating.

[0079] 4 columnar struts 204, such as Figure 12 As shown, one end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the rod base 203 at the intersection of the long side and the short side of the L-shaped structure of the rod base 203 along the direction of the long side of the L-shaped structure of the rod base 203.

[0080] like Figure 13 The figure shows the state of the expansion device when it is closed. When in use, the hand wheel 101 is turned to drive the screw 102 to rotate at the same time, so that the driving push plate 105 moves toward the fixed frame 201. The push plate 105 pushes the first push rod 106 to move toward the fixed frame 201, and the first push rod 106 pushes the second push rod 107 to move inside the fixed frame 201, so that the main arm 202 rotates clockwise around the pin connection between the main arm 202 and the fixed frame 201, and the long side of the L-shaped structure of the main arm 202 is tilted away from the fixed frame 201. The main arm 201 drives the rod seat 203 and the auxiliary arm 214 to rotate together, and tilts away from the fixed frame 201. Since the relative positions of the main arm 201 and the auxiliary arm 214 remain unchanged, the posture of the rod seat 214 can be guaranteed to remain unchanged during tilting, and the four support rods 204 can always maintain a parallel posture. After the push plate 105 moves to the limit, the expansion device is transformed into an open state, as shown in FIG. Figure 14 shown.

[0081] like Figure 15-17 As shown, when the expansion device is used for construction, in the closed state, the four support rods 204 of the expansion device are extended into the thermoplastic tube, and the hand wheel 101 is turned to change the expansion device into the open state to expand the thermoplastic tube.

[0082] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solutions of this application do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this application and should be encompassed by the claims of this application.
