[0032] It can be understood that, since the specific structure and working principle of the upper leaf 1 and the lower leaf 2 are prior art, the embodiment will not be described here.
[0033] As described above, in the present embodiment, the expander further comprises a rotating shaft 3, the root of the rotating shaft 3 is arranged on the upper leaf 1, the lower leaf 2 is provided with a shaft hole 4, the rotating shaft 3 is arranged in the shaft hole 4, so that the upper leaf 1 and the lower leaf 2 are rotatably connected, and in the present embodiment, a through groove 31 is arranged on the end of the rotating shaft 3 away from the root, the through groove 31 extends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 3 and penetrates the rotating shaft 3 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 3, and in addition, the end of the rotating shaft 3 away from the root extends out of the shaft hole 4 and is provided with a flange 32, the flange 32 extends along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 3 to the side away from the axis of the rotating shaft 3.
[0034] As described above, in the present embodiment, the through groove 31 can divide the rotating shaft 3 into two shaft parts, when assembling, the operator can press the two shaft parts of the rotating shaft 3 divided by the through groove 31 to make the two shaft parts of the rotating shaft 3 close to each other, so as to reduce the radial dimension of the rotating shaft 3, and then the end of the rotating shaft 3 provided with the flange 32 can be conveniently inserted into the shaft hole 4 until the end of the rotating shaft 3 provided with the flange 32 extends out of the shaft hole 4, after the end of the rotating shaft 3 provided with the flange 32 extends out of the shaft hole 4, the operator releases the pressure on the rotating shaft 3, and the two shaft parts can be reset to support in the shaft hole 4, and the flange 32 arranged on the end of the rotating shaft 3 away from the root can be stopped on the side of the shaft hole 4 away from the root of the rotating shaft 3, so as to prevent the upper leaf 1 and the lower leaf 2 from being separated. As described above, by arranging the through groove 31 on the rotating shaft 3, the rotating shaft 3 can be conveniently assembled into the shaft hole 4, so as to improve the assembly efficiency of the expander.
[0035] It is worth noting that in other optional embodiments, the root of the rotating shaft 3 can also be arranged on the lower leaf 2, and correspondingly, the upper leaf 1 is provided with a shaft hole 4, so that the upper leaf 1 and the lower leaf 2 can also be rotatably connected, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitation on this.
[0036] It is also worth noting that since the rotating shaft 3 is provided with the through groove 31, the radial dimension of the rotating shaft 3 arranged in the shaft hole 4 can be designed to closely fit the hole wall of the shaft hole 4, so as to avoid the looseness between the upper leaf 1 and the lower leaf 2, and since the two shaft parts of the rotating shaft 3 divided by the through groove 31 can be close to each other, even if the rotating shaft 3 closely fits the hole wall of the shaft hole 4, the upper leaf 1 and the lower leaf 2 can still smoothly rotate relative to each other.
[0037] Further, the through groove 31 extends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 3 from the end face of the end of the rotating shaft 3 away from the root to the root, so as to divide the rotating shaft 3 into two independent shaft parts, and then the operator can more conveniently press the two shaft parts of the rotating shaft 3 divided by the through groove 31 to make the two shaft parts of the rotating shaft 3 close to each other, so as to reduce the radial dimension of the rotating shaft 3, that is, the present embodiment can more conveniently assemble the rotating shaft 3 into the shaft hole 4, so as to further improve the assembly efficiency of the expander.

[0039] The second shaft portion 34 is formed with a second flange 322 on the side away from the through groove 31, and the second flange 322 is circumferentially arranged on the outer periphery of the second shaft portion 34, that is, in the present embodiment, the flange 32 formed on the end of the rotating shaft 3 away from the root thereof is composed of the first flange 321 and the second flange 322, and the contact areas between the first flange 321 and the lower leaf 2 and between the second flange 322 and the lower leaf 2 are both large, so as to further increase the contact area between the flange 32 and the lower leaf 2, thereby more firmly stopping the rotating shaft 3 from being separated from the shaft hole 4, and further more effectively preventing the upper leaf 1 and the lower leaf 2 from being separated.
[0040] In summary, in the present embodiment, the number of the through grooves 31 on the rotating shaft 3 is only one, rather than two or more, so as to ensure that the rotating shaft 3 can be conveniently assembled into the shaft hole 4, while also ensuring that the contact area between the flange 32 and the lower leaf 2 is maximized, thereby making the flange 32 firmly stop the rotating shaft 3 from being separated from the shaft hole 4.
[0041] Moreover, since the contact area between the flange 32 and the lower leaf 2 is large enough, the present embodiment can also improve the structural strength of the dilator.
