Compared with the connection method of riveting in related technologies, this can avoid the problem of the second tube 15 and the connector 2 becoming loose.

[0063] Therefore, the flexible shaft tube assembly 100 of this utility model embodiment can avoid the problem of loosening between the second tube 15 and the connector 2.

[0064] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This invention describes a flexible shaft tube assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] like Figure 1As shown, the flexible shaft tube assembly 100 of this utility model embodiment includes a first tube 1 and a second tube 15. The first tube 1 is provided with connectors 2 at both ends in the axial direction. The second tube 15 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the two connectors 2. That is to say, the function of the connectors 2 is to connect the second tube 15 of the first tube 1.

[0066] In practical applications, connector 2 can be connected to first pipe 1 by being inserted into the hose of connector 2, or it can be connected to first pipe 1 by being sleeved outside first pipe 1. The terms "insertion" and "sleeved" here only describe the positional relationship between connector 2 and first pipe 1, and do not restrict the processing and assembly process of connector 2 and first pipe 1.

[0067] For example, the connector 2 can be an injection molded part. The two ends of the first pipe 1 are arranged in the injection mold of the connector 2, and the connector 2 can be directly injection molded at both ends of the first pipe 1, thereby improving the connection strength between the first pipe 1 and the connector 2.

[0068] The inner peripheral wall of the second pipe fitting 15 is provided with a first groove 3 extending circumferentially therefrom, and the outer peripheral wall of the connector 2 is provided with a first protrusion 4 extending circumferentially therefrom and cooperating with the first groove 3, and / or,

[0069] The inner peripheral wall of the second pipe fitting 15 is provided with a second protrusion 6 extending circumferentially thereon, and the outer peripheral wall of the connector 2 is provided with a second groove 5 extending circumferentially thereon and cooperating with the second protrusion 6.

[0070] For example, the inner peripheral wall of the second pipe 15 is provided with a first groove 3 extending in its circumference, and the outer peripheral wall of the corresponding connector 2 is provided with a first protrusion 4 extending in its circumference and cooperating with the first groove 3.

[0071] For example, the inner peripheral wall of the second pipe 15 is provided with a second protrusion 6 extending circumferentially thereon, and the outer peripheral wall of the connector 2 is provided with a second groove 5 extending circumferentially thereon and cooperating with the second protrusion 6.

[0072] For example, the inner peripheral wall of the second pipe 15 is provided with a first groove 3 extending in its circumference, the outer peripheral wall of the connector 2 is provided with a first protrusion 4 extending in its circumference and cooperating with the first groove 3, the inner peripheral wall of the second pipe 15 is provided with a second protrusion 6 extending in its circumference, and the outer peripheral wall of the connector 2 is provided with a second groove 5 extending in its circumference and cooperating with the second protrusion 6.

[0073] By setting the connector 2 as an injection molded part, when assembling the second pipe 15 onto the connector 2, it is only necessary to fix the first pipe 1 with the connector 2, and then press the second pipe 15 onto the connector 2.

[0074] For example, as shown in the figure, a hand-operated press is used to install the second pipe fitting 15 onto the connector 2. First, the connector 2 and / or the first pipe fitting 1 are fixed on the clamp using a clamp. After aligning the second pipe fitting 15 with the connector 2, the lower pressure head of the hand-operated press is turned to apply downward pressure to the second pipe fitting 15, thereby assembling the second pipe fitting 15 onto the connector 2.

[0075] The flexible shaft tube assembly 100 of this utility model provides a first protrusion 4 and a first groove 3, or a second protrusion 6 and a second groove 5, or simultaneously provides the first protrusion 4, the first groove 3, and the second protrusion 6 or the second groove 5, through the cooperation of the above-mentioned protrusions and grooves, the second tube 15 and the connector 2 can be snapped and fixed. Compared with the connection method of riveting in related technologies, this can avoid the problem of the second tube 15 and the connector 2 becoming loose.

[0078] In some embodiments, there are multiple first grooves 3, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the second pipe 15; there are multiple first protrusions 4, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the connector 2.

[0080] In some embodiments, the second groove 5 is a single entity, and the second protrusion 6 is a single entity.

[0081] By setting both the second groove 5 and the second protrusion 6 as a single unit, the processing difficulty of the connector 2 and the second pipe 15 can be reduced while meeting the connection requirements of the connector 2 and the second pipe 15.

[0087] For example, the inner peripheral wall of the second pipe 15 is provided with a fourth protrusion 8 extending radially therefrom, and the outer peripheral wall of the connector 2 is provided with a fourth groove 9 extending radially therefrom and cooperating with the fourth protrusion 8.

[0088] For example, the inner peripheral wall of the second pipe fitting 15 is provided with a third groove 7 extending radially therefrom, the outer peripheral wall of the connector 2 is provided with a third protrusion 16 extending radially therefrom and cooperating with the third groove 7, the inner peripheral wall of the second pipe fitting 15 is provided with a fourth protrusion 8 extending radially therefrom, and the outer peripheral wall of the connector 2 is provided with a fourth groove 9 extending radially therefrom and cooperating with the fourth protrusion 8.

[0089] The flexible shaft tube assembly 100 of this utility model provides a third protrusion 16 and a third groove 7, or a fourth protrusion 8 and a fourth groove 9, or simultaneously provides the third protrusion 16 and the third groove 7 as well as the fourth protrusion 8 or the fourth groove 9, through the cooperation of the above-mentioned protrusions and grooves, the second tube 15 and the connector 2 can be further snapped and fixed, that is, the second tube 15 and the connector 2 can be snapped and fixed in the axial and circumferential directions. Compared with the connection method of riveting in related technologies, it can further avoid the problem of loosening of the second tube 15 and the connector 2.

[0090] In some embodiments, the third groove 7 is a single entity, and the third protrusion 16 is a single entity.

[0091] By setting both the third groove 7 and the third protrusion 16 as a single unit, the processing difficulty of the connector 2 and the second pipe 15 can be reduced while meeting the connection requirements of the connector 2 and the second pipe 15.

[0092] In some embodiments, there are multiple third grooves 7, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the inner peripheral wall of the second pipe 15; there are multiple third protrusions 16, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the outer peripheral wall of the connector 2.

[0093] By setting multiple third grooves 7 and third protrusions 16, the connection strength between connector 2 and second pipe 15 can be further improved. In practical applications, they can be selected according to connection requirements.

[0094] In some embodiments, the fourth groove 9 is a single unit, and the fourth protrusion 8 is a single unit.

[0095] By setting both the third groove 7 and the third protrusion 16 as a single unit, the processing difficulty of the connector 2 and the second pipe 15 can be reduced while meeting the connection requirements of the connector 2 and the second pipe 15.

[0096] In some embodiments, there are multiple fourth grooves 9, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the outer peripheral wall of the connector 2; there are multiple fourth protrusions 8, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the inner peripheral wall of the second tube 15.

[0097] By setting multiple fourth grooves 9 and fourth protrusions 8, the connection strength between connector 2 and second pipe 15 can be further improved. In practical applications, they can be selected according to connection requirements.

[0098] In some embodiments, a rubber tube 14 is fitted onto the outer wall of the first tube 1.

[0099] By sleeved with a rubber tube 14 on the outer wall of the first tube 1, the waterproof and oil-proof performance of the flexible shaft tube assembly 100 of this utility model embodiment can be improved.

[0100] Furthermore, both ends of the tubing 14 can be connected to the connector 2 respectively, as shown in the figure. Both ends of the tubing 14 can extend into the connector 2, which can further improve the waterproof and oil-proof performance of the flexible shaft tubing assembly 100 of this utility model embodiment.

[0101] It is understandable that the hose 14 can be injection molded together with the connector 2 onto the first fitting 1, that is, the first fitting 1 is arranged in the injection mold, which allows the hose 14 to be injection molded together with the connector 2 onto the first fitting 1, further reducing the processing difficulty.

[0102] In some embodiments, the outer wall surface of the second pipe 15 is provided with knurling.

[0103] By applying knurling to the outer wall surface of the second pipe fitting 15, the anti-slip performance of the second pipe fitting 15 can be improved.

[0104] This utility model also provides a flexible shaft 200.

[0105] like Figure 1 As shown, the flexible shaft 200 of this utility model embodiment includes the tube assembly and mandrel 10 as described in the above embodiment.

[0106] The mandrel 10 is disposed inside the first tube 1. Both ends of the mandrel 10 pass through the connectors 2 disposed at both ends of the first tube 1 and extend into the second tube 15. One end of the mandrel 10 is connected to the first transmission connector 11, and the end of the first transmission connector 11 away from the mandrel 10 extends out of the corresponding second tube 15. The other end of the mandrel 10 is connected to the second transmission connector 12, and the end of the second transmission connector 12 away from the mandrel 10 extends out of the corresponding housing.

[0107] The mandrel 10 can be made of steel wire rope, giving it a certain degree of flexibility and allowing it to be bent.

[0108] Understandably, on the one hand, since the connection between the first transmission connector 11 and the spindle 10 and the connection between the second transmission connector 12 are both located inside the second tube 15, the second tube 15 can protect the connection between the first transmission connector 11 and the spindle 10 and the connection between the second transmission connector 12, thus preventing damage to the connection between the first transmission connector 11 and the spindle 10 and the connection between the second transmission connector 12.

[0109] On the other hand, since part of the first transmission connector 11 and part of the second transmission connector 12 are concentrically positioned, the concentricity of the first transmission connector 11 and the second pipe 15 can prevent excessive offset of the first transmission connector 11 during rotation. Similarly, concentricity of the second transmission connector 12 and the second pipe 15 can prevent excessive offset of the second transmission connector 12 during rotation. At the same time, the gaps between the first transmission connector 11 and the second pipe 15, and between the second transmission connector 12 and the second pipe 15, should be set within a suitable range. Too large a gap will reduce the anti-offset effect of the second pipe 15, while too small a gap will easily cause excessive friction between the second pipe 15 and the first and second transmission connectors 11 and 12, affecting transmission.

[0110] The flexible shaft 200 of this utility model can transmit power between two ends that are not on the same axis. For example, the first transmission connector 11 is connected to a screwdriver, and the second transmission connector 12 is connected to a screw. The screwdriver can drive the spindle 10 to rotate, thereby driving the screw to rotate. This allows for the disassembly and assembly of screws in locations where it is inconvenient to place the screwdriver, thus improving work efficiency.

[0111] In some embodiments, the flexible shaft 200 of the present invention further includes a spring 13, which is sleeved on the outside of the spindle 10 and disposed between the connector 2 and the first transmission connector 11.

[0112] Furthermore, one end of the spring 13 abuts against the connector 2, and the other end of the spring 13 abuts against the first transmission connector 11.

[0113] By providing a spring 13 between the connector 2 and the first transmission connector 11, the exposed length of the first transmission connector 11 can be adjusted by pressing, which can easily meet different required lengths.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first transmission connector 11 is an external hexagonal connector; the second transmission connector 12 is an internal hexagonal connector.

[0115] Optionally, the second transmission connector 12 is a quick-release hexagonal socket connector. Quick-release hexagonal socket connectors are existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Of course, the types of the first transmission connector 11 and the second transmission connector 12 can be selected according to the actual transmission requirements.

[0116] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
