External diameter equal with the internal diameter of this first push channel 22, the internal diameter of the external diameter of this back-moving spring 7 and this first push channel 22
Equal.
Such as, a diameter of 5 millimeters of card ball, then the internal diameter of the second push channel 23 is 5 millimeters, the first push channel 22
Internal diameter be 6 millimeters.The external diameter pushing main body 31 is 5 millimeters, and the external diameter of the external diameter of location snap ring 32 is 6 millimeters, back-moving spring 7
External diameter be 6 millimeters, internal diameter is 5.5 millimeters.
The following detailed description of how using this card ball erector.
As shown in figure 12, hose 10 set is received on expanding blade 4 by user, under the effect of reduction torsion spring 9, this
Time, expanding blade 4 is in closed configuration, facilitates the socket of hose 10.Then, the card ball 8 of steel is put into propelling movement cylinder 2
In release hole 24, then user operation pushes handle 33 so that push rod 3 is moved towards the direction to expanding blade 4.This
Time, push the top of main body 31 all the time against card ball 8.Card ball 8 continues forward, and back-moving spring 7 is positioned snap ring 32 simultaneously and extrudes
Constantly there is compressive deformation.Then, card ball 8 is pushed out propelling movement cylinder 2 and comes into contact with and extrude multiple expanding blade 4, now, three
Expanding blade 4 closely props up the inwall of hose 10, and the opening of hose 10 is expanded.
When positioning snap ring 32 pressed home spring 7 to largest deformation amount, as shown in Figure 13 to Figure 16, now, master is pushed
Body 31 just extends over expanding blade 4, and card ball 8 is deviate from from the constraint of three expanding blades 4, and is fixed on hose 10
In.Finally, user unclamps propelling movement handle 33, under the effect of back-moving spring 7, push rod 3 Rapid reset.Now, user
Just can continue in release hole 24, insert next card ball, repeat above-mentioned installation operation.
As shown in Figure 17 to Figure 20, for the second embodiment of the card ball erector of the present invention.Now, cylinder 200 is pushed
Sidewall be provided with the first release pipe 201 of a tubulose, this first release pipe 201 is provided with a separable release portion 300.
This release portion 300 comprises the second release pipe 301 and of a tubulose for placing the ball groove 302 of card ball, this ball groove
302 connect with this second release pipe 301, and the card ball 8 of this ball groove 302 is the most respectively by the first release pipe 201
Enter in this propelling movement cylinder 200 with the second release pipe 301.Multiple card balls can be placed directly in ball groove 302 by user, profit
With the first release pipe 201 and the second automatic release of release pipe 301, further increase the installation effectiveness of card ball.Concrete operation
Process is identical with the first embodiment of the present invention, repeats no more here.It may be noted that time, when push rod 3 Rapid reset
After, second card ball in the first release pipe 201 under gravity, automatically falls in propelling movement cylinder 200.Owing to pushing cylinder
The internal diameter of the first push channel, slightly larger than the diameter of card ball, is generally located between 0.5 millimeter～1 millimeter, therefore, can only every time
Fall next card ball, will not be simultaneously fed into by multiple card balls.
It addition, the first release pipe 201 and the second release pipe 301 can be connected by socket or threaded, or other
Mechanical connection manner, such as magnetic structure.
The head augmentation blade energy hose pushing cylinder of this card ball erector is effectively expanded so that card ball can be smoothly
Enter in hose, greatly facilitate the installation of the card ball of card ball catapult.It addition, user can use preset length
Expanding blade and the push rod of preset length so that card ball falls directly into the predeterminated position in hose, it is not necessary to follow-up people
Work regulates, convenient and swift.
It is not limited to this, any change expected without creative work or replacement, all should contain the guarantor in the present invention
Within the scope of protecting.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with the protection domain that claims are limited.
