Expander positioning structure for positioning and multi-directional operation

The present invention is applied to the field of pipe expanders, and particularly relates to a pipe expander positioning structure that is easy to operate, stable in positioning, and has a multi-directional operation.

Pipe expander is an indispensable tool for pipe laying. Its purpose is to expand the opening area of pipe fittings to facilitate quick connection with other pipe fittings.

The conventional expander structure mainly includes a pipe expander body and a pinch clamp. In its use, the pipe clamp must first be opened, and then the pipe piece to be expanded is placed into a pipe hole of a suitable size in the pipe clamp, and the pipe clamp is closed to complete the pipe fitting; The pinch clamp is then placed in the receiving groove below the body, the tube is aligned under the punch in the expander, and the punch is then punched down to complete the pipe expansion.

In order to maintain the quality of the tube after expansion, the focus is on ensuring that the tube is aligned with the stamping position of the punch. In the conventional method of aligning the pipe fittings, it is necessary to perform visual inspection by the user, and then the fastening bolts on the side of the pipe clamp are operated to fix the pipe clamps, so that the pipe expansion can be performed.

Since the visual method relies entirely on the skill of the user, the construction quality is difficult to maintain. It is difficult for ordinary people to achieve precise goals. Even the skilled veterans may have failed in their work because of their blindness and distraction.

For this reason, the pincers are provided with a positioning groove at a position where the fastening bolt is fixed, so that the fastening bolt can be guided by the positioning groove to perform precise positioning. However, the dimensional error between the fastening bolt and the positioning groove is large, and even if the fastening bolt is not aligned with the center of the positioning groove, the clamp can be clamped by the force applied. Thus, when the ram is activated, the expansion surface of the pipe is inevitably displaced and cannot be used, and the ram is further rubbed against the pincer to cause wear.

In addition, some of the conventional pliers will have a powerful magnet for assisting positioning between the proper position and the body, and the pliers can be quickly positioned in the correct position by the strong magnet, and then the fastening bolt is used to complete the pliers. Positioning. However, the fixing method of the strong magnet is non-contact type. When the ram is activated, the generated force and vibration can easily push the strong magnet, thereby causing damage to the pipe member or the pincer.

Furthermore, the conventional pipe expander must be kept in a certain position when positioning the pincers, so that the user can easily observe the positioning, and if the work space is inconvenient in a narrow working space, there is still a Improve the space.

It can be seen that there is still a problem in the conventional expander that needs to be solved, rather than a good design.
