The return spring 300 is wrapped in the spring-fitting groove (upper) 201 and the spring-fitting groove (lower) 202 of the circumferential expansion lock mechanism 200 to which the expansion lock cylinder 204 is connected. The upper stem 500 is provided with an upper stem upper chamber 501, an upper stem connecting chamber 502, and an upper stem lower chamber 503 extending in the axial direction, respectively. The upper tube seat upper cavity 501 and the upper tube seat connecting cavity 502 are used for directly welding the circumference telescopic locking mechanism 200 on the upper tube seat 500 and integrally manufacturing the circumference telescopic locking mechanism 200 and the upper tube seat 500 after the circumference telescopic locking mechanism 200 is assembled, so as to prevent the circumference telescopic locking mechanism 200 from moving axially, and the upper tube seat lower cavity 503 is used for providing telescopic space for the telescopic block 600, is a cavity when connected and is filled when disassembled, and is extruded outwards so as to take out the upper tube seat 500 upwards. The circumferential telescopic locking mechanism 200 mainly includes a telescopic locking cylinder 204, a telescopic block 600 and a return spring 300. The telescopic locking cylinder 204 is provided with four telescopic block matching grooves 205 which are respectively matched with four telescopic blocks 600, and the telescopic blocks 600 can be radially telescopic to realize the diameter change. The telescopic locking cylinder 204 and the telescopic block 600 are provided with two coordination grooves in the circumferential direction, and are respectively connected with the upper and lower side reset springs 300, and the reset springs 300 play a role in radial reset after the diameter of the telescopic block 600 is changed. Four connecting sleeve matching grooves 401 on the connecting sleeve 400 are matched with four telescopic blocks 600, and the connecting sleeve 400 stretches into the circumference telescopic locking mechanism 200 to realize locking. The detachment cylinder wedge wall 1011 of the detachment cylinder 101 at the lowest part of the detachment connection member 100 is matched with the expansion block wedge wall 601 of the expansion block 600, the diameter of the detachment cylinder 101 is as large as the inner diameter of the connection sleeve 400, the detachment cylinder 101 extends into the connection sleeve 400, the matched detachment cylinder wedge wall 1011 presses the expansion block 600 outwards, and the upper tube seat 500 is taken out, so that the detachment is completed.
In practical application, the circumferential telescopic locking mechanism 200 is integrated, no additional operation is needed after one assembly is completed, and after the circumferential telescopic locking mechanism 200 is assembled to the upper tube seat 500, the circumferential telescopic locking mechanism 200 is directly welded to the upper tube seat 500 and integrated with the upper tube seat 500, so that the circumferential telescopic locking mechanism 200 cannot shift in the axial direction, and the connection is firmer. Also, the upper tube holder 500 is removed upward together with the disassembly, and separated from the connection sleeve 400. It is here in fact that the four telescopic blocks 600 are separated from the connection sleeve 400.
When the telescopic block 600 is matched, one side of the wedge-shaped wall 601 of the telescopic block faces the inside of the circumferential telescopic locking mechanism 200, the opposite side faces the upper tube seat connecting cavity 502, and the outer side is always tangent to the telescopic locking cylinder 204 under the action of the return spring 300. The thickness of the telescopic block 600 is larger than the wall thickness of the telescopic locking cylinder 204, the connecting sleeve 400 stretches into the connecting sleeve matching groove 401 after being aligned with the telescopic block 600, and the connecting sleeve matching groove 401 is matched with the wedge-shaped wall 601 of the telescopic block and the rest part of the telescopic block 600 is matched with the telescopic locking cylinder 204, so that the shrinkage is completed. The connection sleeve 400 and the lower guide pipe are connected to the lower socket by bolts, so that the connection between the upper socket 500 and the lower socket is achieved as a whole.
When the upper tube holder 500 is to be disassembled, the operation can be realized by simply extending and lifting the upper tube holder by using a simple disassembling tool. When dismantling, the extracting tool that the operator used is a dismantlement drum 101, dismantles drum 101 bottom and is can with telescopic block wedge wall 601 matched with dismantlement drum wedge wall 1011, the diameter of dismantlement drum 101 is unanimous with the internal diameter of flexible locking section of thick bamboo 204, through clearance fit, in the in-process of going deep down, because telescopic block wedge wall 601 and dismantlement drum wedge wall 1011's cooperation, outwards extrudees telescopic block 600, telescopic block 600 accomplishes the flexible in radial, realizes the change of diameter, proposes up upper tube seat 500 at this moment, just can accomplish the dismantlement. After the extraction, the extruded telescopic block 600 is restored to the original tangential state with the telescopic locking cylinder 204 by the action of the restoring spring 300.
Compared with the prior art that the threaded connection piece is in threaded fit with the upper tube seat 500, the upper tube seat 500 is not required to be rotated to a specific angle during the disassembly and the installation of the upper tube seat 500, and other actions are not required after the connecting sleeve 400 stretches in, and only the connecting sleeve matching groove 401 is required to be aligned with the telescopic block 600 and radial force is applied to push the connecting sleeve 400 into the telescopic locking cylinder 204. The disassembly cylinder 101 is only required to be axially overlapped and extend into the telescopic locking cylinder 204 to be lifted during disassembly, and other complicated operations are not required.
Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4 in combination, fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the upper tube seat, and fig. 4 is a schematic connecting structure of the circumferential telescopic locking mechanism, the telescopic block and the return spring.
In this embodiment, an upper stem upper cavity 501, an upper stem connection cavity 502 and an upper stem lower cavity 503 which are coaxial are provided in the upper stem 500. The upper tube seat upper cavity 501 and the upper tube seat connecting cavity 502 are tightly matched with the outer walls of the telescopic locking lug 203 and the telescopic locking cylinder 204 of the circumference telescopic locking mechanism 200, and an upper tube seat bottom hole 504 with the diameter smaller than that of the telescopic locking cylinder 204 is arranged below the upper tube seat 500 and used for bearing the telescopic locking cylinder 204.
In practical application, the upper tube seat 500 and the circumferential telescopic locking mechanism 200 are welded into a whole after the first matching, which not only fastens the matching, but also simplifies a plurality of operation steps of connection and disassembly. To ensure accurate disassembly, the reserved amount of the lower cavity 503 of the upper tube seat is larger than the actual calculated amount. During the disassembly process, the wedge-shaped wall 601 of the telescopic block 600 is extruded in the moving process of the telescopic block, the radial movement realizes axial expansion and contraction, the diameter change is completed, the telescopic block 600 protrudes and remains in the lower cavity 503 of the upper tube seat, and the separation from the connecting sleeve 400 is completed. The thickness of the connection sleeve 400 should not be too great and should be less than the frontal projected width of the tapered wall 601 of the telescopic block so that the separation from the connection sleeve 400 can be accomplished when the upper socket 500 is lifted upward.
The nominal diameter of the disassembly cylinder 101 is matched with the nominal diameter of the inner diameter of the connecting sleeve 400, and the telescopic block 600 is in clearance fit with the circumferential telescopic locking mechanism 200 and the telescopic block 600 is in clearance fit with the connecting sleeve 400 by adopting interference fit.
Referring to fig. 5 in combination, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the connection sleeve.
In order to achieve locking and disassembly of the upper tube socket 500, the connection sleeve 400 is correspondingly designed with a corresponding structure. The connecting sleeve 400 only needs to be provided with four connecting sleeve matching grooves 401 at the positions corresponding to the four telescopic blocks 600, and the four connecting sleeve matching grooves are axially overlapped with the telescopic locking cylinder 204 during matching, and are aligned with the four telescopic blocks 600 and extend upwards until the telescopic blocks 600 are clamped with the connecting sleeve 400, and the upper tube seat 500 and the lower tube seat are correspondingly fastened.
In order to prevent the case that the connection sleeve 400 cannot pass through the upper tube holder 500, the connection sleeve 400 is tightly engaged with the circumferential expansion locking mechanism 200 by a clearance fit in consideration of multiple disassembly and assembly.
The return spring 300 is a part of the entire circumferential expansion lock mechanism 200, and is mainly used for resetting the expansion block 600. The return springs 300 are provided with an upper return spring and a lower return spring which are symmetrically distributed, so that the telescopic block 600 and the circumference telescopic locking mechanism 200 are integrally tangent without dislocation. The return spring 300 and the expansion block spring embedding groove (upper) 602, the expansion block spring embedding groove (lower) 603 and the spring embedding groove (upper) 201, and the spring embedding groove (lower) 202 are arranged in the mechanism, so that the external size of the whole mechanism is not affected, and the mechanism cannot slide on the outer wall of the expansion locking cylinder 204 at will.
In this example, the return spring 300 has a strict preload requirement and sufficient retraction force to return the protruding telescopic block 600 back to the original state tangential to the telescopic lock cylinder 204. At the same time, the tightening force should not be excessive, so that the telescopic block 600 is prevented from being excessively stressed and separated from the circumferential telescopic locking mechanism 200 during instantaneous retraction.
Referring to fig. 6 and fig. 7 in combination, fig. 6 is a schematic structural view of the telescopic block, and fig. 7 is a schematic structural view of the detachable connection piece.
The dismounting connection 100 is a dismounting cylinder 101, the lower end of which is a dismounting cylinder wedge wall 1011 cooperating with the telescopic block 600. When the detachable cylinder 101 is detached, the detachable cylinder is only required to extend in, the telescopic block 600 of the buckle is matched and separated with the connecting sleeve 400 through extrusion, and the upper tube seat 500 is lifted up to realize separation. When assembling, because the disassembling cylinder 101 is arranged in the connecting sleeve 400, the upper tube seat 500 is sleeved into the connecting sleeve 400 after aligning, and then the disassembling cylinder 101 is taken out, so that the operation is convenient. The dismounting connection piece 100 further comprises a dismounting connection inner cylinder 103 and a dismounting abutment 102, wherein the outer diameter of the dismounting abutment 102 is larger than the inner diameter of the telescopic locking boss 203. The detachable connection inner cylinder 103 is provided with a bolt hole 1031.
