AI Technical Summary
该胀轴的胀键回位装置是由装在胀轴筒外部的两个回位片簧紧压胀键两端的凸台而构成的,回位片簧只能在一定的弹力范围内迫使胀键缩回,而不能控制胀键外胀时的最大行程,胀键外胀的最大行程只有靠外部的套筒来控制,因此当胀轴的某一段未装套筒时,此段胀键外胀的最大行程就得不到控制,这就造成胀键外胀过大时,紧压胀键两端凸台的回位片簧将会因变形过度而失效或断裂,最终造成胀键脱落,此时,胀轴如在旋转,胀键就会飞出,酿成安全事故,因此,必须对胀键的回位装置加以改进,使它不仅能满足胀键的顺利缩回,还能有效的控制住胀键外胀时的最大行程

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the improvement of mechanical expansion shafts for products in the machinery industry. Background Technology
[0002] Appendix Figure 1 This is a simplified structural diagram of a current mechanical expansion shaft, with attached... Figure 2 It is attached Figure 1 The enlarged view of the key return device at point A is based on my utility model patent for "High-Precision Winding Expansion Shaft" granted in 2007. This patented product has been recognized by the market and widely used for more than ten years. It mainly consists of: 1-drive nut, 2-pull rod, 3-compression spring, 4-expansion core, 5-expansion key, 6-expansion shaft sleeve, and 7-return leaf spring. Its working principle is as follows: turning the drive nut forces the pull rod to compress the compression spring. The elastic force of the compression spring passes through the expansion core, the expansion key, and finally tightens the sleeve 8. When the sleeve is to be loosened, simply turn the drive nut to release the elastic force of the compression spring. At this time, the expansion key retracts under the action of the return leaf spring. The key return device of the expansion shaft consists of two return leaf springs mounted outside the expansion shaft cylinder, which press against the bosses at both ends of the expansion key. The return leaf springs can only force the expansion key to retract within a certain elastic range, but cannot control the maximum stroke when the expansion key expands. The maximum stroke of the expansion key can only be controlled by the external sleeve. Therefore, when a section of the expansion shaft is not fitted with a sleeve, the maximum stroke of the expansion key in that section cannot be controlled. This causes the return leaf springs pressing against the bosses at both ends of the expansion key to fail or break due to excessive deformation when the expansion key expands too much, eventually causing the expansion key to fall off. If the expansion shaft is rotating at this time, the expansion key will fly out, causing a safety accident. Therefore, the key return device must be improved so that it can not only meet the requirement of smooth retraction of the expansion key, but also effectively control the maximum stroke when the expansion key expands. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a return device for a mechanical expansion shaft combined with an expansion key. It mainly consists of an expansion shaft cylinder, an expansion key one, an expansion key two, a return spring, and screws. The expansion key one and expansion key two are inserted into the expansion shaft cylinder one after the other from the keyway. After they are fitted together, they are combined into one piece with screws. In this way, it and the expansion shaft cylinder form a structure with a large bottom and a small opening, which can control the maximum stroke of the expansion key and prevent the expansion key from falling off or flying out. Then, return springs are placed in the screw holes on both sides of the keyway of the expansion shaft cylinder and set screws are screwed in to adjust the return pressure of the expansion key.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is: a return device for a mechanical expansion shaft combined expansion key, which mainly consists of an expansion shaft cylinder, expansion key one, expansion key two, a return compression spring and screws. The feature is that: the combined expansion key of the return device is formed by expansion key one and expansion key two being installed into the expansion shaft cylinder through the keyway on the expansion shaft cylinder and then connected by screws. The length of the bottom of the combined expansion key is greater than the axial length of the keyway on the expansion shaft cylinder, thereby limiting the maximum stroke of the combined expansion key and ensuring that the combined expansion key will not detach from the expansion shaft cylinder.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the mechanical expansion shaft assembly expansion key return device, which is composed of an expansion shaft cylinder, expansion key one, expansion key two, return spring and screw with the above-mentioned features, not only maintains the reliable expansion and contraction function of the expansion key, but also effectively controls the maximum stroke of the expansion key's external expansion, avoiding the expansion key from falling off or flying out. It is more durable and safer than the existing external return device of mechanical expansion shaft. Attached Figure Description
