DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present invention Figure 1-6 , clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] As shown in the figure, an internal expansion positioning pin includes a pin body 1, an installation cavity 11 is opened in the pin body 1, and a plurality of sliding openings 12 connected to the installation cavity 11 are opened on the side of the pin body 1. An expansion block 3 matching the sliding opening 12 is slidably arranged in the sliding opening 12, and a driving column 4 is screwed in the installation cavity 11. The lower end of the driving column 4 is formed with a truncated cone-shaped expansion top column 41 with a small head facing downward. When the expansion top column 4 rotates downward in the installation cavity 11 as the driving column 4 rotates, it can abut against the inner side surface of the expansion block 3 and push the outer side surface of the expansion block 3 out of the sliding opening 12.

[0025] Specifically, a limiting block 31 is formed on the inner side surface of the expansion block 3 so that the cross section of the expansion block 3 is T-shaped.

[0026] Specifically, the outer side surface of the expansion block 3 is arc-shaped, and the inner side surface of the expansion block 3 is formed with a first positioning surface 32 matched with the driving column 4 and a second positioning surface 33 matched with the expansion top column 41 , which are connected and distributed up and down.

[0027] In the above structure, when installing the locating pin, the pin body 1 is inserted into the pin hole, and the driving column 4 is rotated through the hexagonal hole provided on the upper end surface of the driving column 4. The driving column 4 is screwed together with the inner wall of the installation cavity 11 and tightened downward during rotation. At the same time, the driving column 4 drives the expansion column 41 to rotate downward. In the process of the expansion column 41 rotating downward, the outer side surface of the expansion column 41 contacts the inner side surface of the expansion block 3, and the tapered outer side surface of the expansion column 41 drives several expansion blocks to slide at the sliding port. 12 at the same time slides outward, and the outer side surface of the expansion top block passes through the sliding opening 12 and is tightly against the inner wall of the pin hole, so that the positioning pin is installed in the pin hole. Through the above structure and method, the outer diameter of the pin body 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the pin hole, and a certain deviation value is allowed between the two sizes, which reduces the difficulty of processing the pin body 1. Moreover, since the outer diameter of the pin body 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the pin hole, the operation of inserting the pin body 1 into the pin hole is very smooth and convenient, which facilitates the operation when installing the positioning pin, and is tightly against the expansion block 3. The inner wall of the pin hole keeps the pin body 1 stably in the pin hole, preventing the positioning pin from falling out of the pin hole, and the limit block 31 formed on the inner side surface of the tightening block 3 plays a limiting role when the tightening block 3 slides outward in the sliding opening 12, preventing the tightening block 3 from falling out of the sliding opening 12 during the process of the pin body 1 being inserted into the pin hole, thereby facilitating the operation when installing the positioning pin, and when the driving column 4 drives the tightening top column 41 to push the tightening block 3 into place, the first positioning surface 32 and the second positioning surface 33 respectively align with the driving column 4 and the tightening top column 41 to push the tightening block 3 into place. The outer side surface of the column 41 fits tightly, which strengthens the supporting effect of the driving column 4 and the positioning column on the expansion block 3, thereby ensuring that the expansion block 3 is stably pressed against the inner wall of the pin hole and ensuring the stability of the positioning pin in the pin hole after installation. Of course, the length of the expansion block 3 and the position of the expansion block 3 on the pin body 1 can be adjusted as needed. Generally speaking, when installing the positioning pin to position and connect two structural members, the expansion block 3 can be set at the joint between the pin holes of the two structural members to enhance the stability of the two structural members after connection.

[0028] In addition, an anti-slip pad layer 5 is provided on the outer surface of the expansion block 3. The anti-slip pad layer 5 is in contact with the inner wall of the pin hole when the expansion block 3 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the pin hole, thereby enhancing the friction between the expansion block 3 and the inner wall of the pin hole, thereby enhancing the stability of the locating pin after being installed in the pin hole. Moreover, through the deformation of the anti-slip pad layer 5, the deviation between the outer diameter of the pin body 1 and the inner diameter of the pin hole can be eliminated, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the locating pin.

[0029] In addition, a plurality of snap-in grooves 34 are provided on the outer surface of the expansion block 3, and a plurality of snap-in protrusions 51 matching the snap-in grooves 34 are formed on the inner surface of the anti-slip pad layer 5. The snap-in protrusions 51 are snapped into the snap-in grooves 34 to achieve a fixed connection between the anti-slip pad layer 5 and the expansion block 3. The connection method between the anti-slip pad layer 5 and the expansion block 3 enables the anti-slip pad layer 5 to be easily disassembled and assembled, thereby facilitating the replacement of the anti-slip pad layer 5 when the locating pin is reused, so as to ensure the stability of the locating pin after being installed in the pin hole.

[0030] In addition, the installation cavity 11 passes through the pin body 1 from top to bottom, a limit ring 13 is formed on the upper end of the pin body 1, and a plurality of swing openings 14 communicating with the installation cavity 11 are opened at the lower end. The swing opening 14 is rotatably provided with an inverted L-shaped limit swing arm 6, and a swing top column 42 is formed at the lower end of the expansion top column 41. The horizontal flat portion of the limit swing arm 6 extends into the installation cavity 11 and is located below the swing top column 42. When installing the locating pin, the limit ring 13 abuts against the port of the pin hole, and the driving column 4 drives the expansion top column 41 to push the expansion block 3. At the same time, it drives the swinging top column 42 to rotate downward. During the downward rotation of the swinging top column 42, it contacts the horizontal part of the limiting swing arm 6 and drives the vertical part of the limiting swing arm 6 to swing outward in the swing opening 14, so that the vertical part of the limiting swing arm 6 swings out of the swing opening 14 and presses against the other end of the pin hole. The cooperation between the limiting ring 13 and the limiting swing arm 6 tightens the two connected structural parts to make them tightly connected, and applies axial limitation to the pin body 1, so that the pin body 1 can be kept more stably in the pin hole, thereby enhancing the stability of the locating pin after installation.

[0031] In addition, the limiting ring 13 is in the shape of a fan ring. After the locating pin is installed, the limiting ring 13 is embedded in the limiting groove that matches the limiting ring 13 on the pin hole end. The limiting groove applies circumferential limitation to the limiting ring 13 and applies circumferential limitation to the pin body 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the locating pin after installation.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
