When the telescopic mechanism of the embodiment is used, the guide sleeve 1 is arranged on corresponding equipment, the guide sleeve 1 is ensured to be fixed, and the elastic sleeve 3 is aligned with an inner hole of a part which is processed.

The invention also provides a working method of the single-thrust two-stage positioning elastic expansion telescopic mechanism, which comprises the following steps:
When the telescopic mechanism of the embodiment stretches out, the driving mechanism pushes the second-stage telescopic shaft 7 to move from the rear end to the front end, so that the thimble 4 is pushed to move from the rear end to the front end, and the conical structure at the front end of the thimble 4 is matched with the inner conical surface at the front end of the elastic expansion sleeve 3 (as shown in fig. 1-3); because the sliding friction force between the first-stage telescopic shaft 2 and the guide sleeve 1 is far smaller than the thrust of the ejector pin 4 expanding the elastic expansion sleeve 3, when the driving mechanism continues pushing, the second-stage telescopic shaft 7, the ejector pin 4, the first-stage telescopic shaft 2 and the elastic expansion sleeve 3 become a rigid body, namely the second-stage telescopic shaft 7, the ejector pin 4, the first-stage telescopic shaft 2 and the elastic expansion sleeve 3 integrally move relative to the guide sleeve 1 until the first-stage telescopic shaft 2 is axially limited by the guide sleeve 1, namely the first positioning shaft shoulder 20 of the first-stage telescopic shaft 2 is blocked by the rear end of the guide sleeve 1, and at the moment, the front end of the elastic expansion sleeve 3 penetrates into an inner hole processed by a part, so that the positioning of the telescopic mechanism and the part in the embodiment is realized; when the first-stage telescopic shaft 2 is axially limited by the guide sleeve 1, the driving mechanism continues to push, at this time, the first-stage telescopic shaft 2 and the elastic expansion sleeve 3 do not move relative to the guide sleeve 1, the second-stage telescopic shaft 7 and the thimble 4 continue to move relative to the guide sleeve 1 until the conical structure of the thimble 4 penetrates out of the front end of the elastic expansion sleeve 3, so that the front end of the elastic expansion sleeve 3 is expanded by the thimble 4 (as shown in fig. 4), the elastic expansion sleeve 3 expands the processed inner hole of the part, and the driving mechanism stops pushing, so that the reliable installation of the telescopic mechanism and the part in the embodiment is realized. In the extending process of the telescopic mechanism of the present embodiment, the cylindrical end of the cylindrical end set screw 5 moves in the waist-shaped groove 401 of the thimble 4, so as not to interfere the movement of the thimble 4, the elastic expansion sleeve 3, the first-stage telescopic shaft 2 and the second-stage telescopic shaft 7. When the first-stage telescopic shaft 2 is axially limited by the guide sleeve 1, the first-stage telescopic shaft 2 and the elastic expansion sleeve 3 do not move relative to the guide sleeve 1, and the second-stage telescopic shaft 7 has a distance for moving forwards relative to the first-stage telescopic shaft 2, namely a distance is reserved between the second positioning shaft shoulder 70 of the second-stage telescopic shaft 7 and the spigot surface of the third inner spigot of the first-stage telescopic shaft 2.
When the telescopic mechanism of the embodiment is retracted, the driving mechanism drives the second-stage telescopic shaft 7 to move from the front end to the rear end, so that the thimble 4 moves from the front end to the rear end, the thimble 4 is retracted into the elastic expansion sleeve 3, and at the moment, the elastic expansion sleeve 3 does not expand an inner hole of a part which is processed; the driving mechanism continues to drive the second-stage telescopic shaft 7 to move from the front end to the rear end, when the ejector pin 4 moves to the cylindrical end hooked by the cylindrical end set screw 5, the first-stage telescopic shaft 2, the ejector pin 4, the second-stage telescopic shaft 7 and the elastic expansion sleeve 3 integrally move relative to the guide sleeve 1, so that the elastic expansion sleeve 3 is separated from an inner hole machined by a part, the quick demoulding of the telescopic mechanism in the embodiment is realized, and the rear driving mechanism stops driving.
In the embodiment, under the action of the guide sleeve 1, the guide function of the telescopic mechanism of the embodiment is realized, and the movement precision is greatly improved. Under the single driving force effect of the driving mechanism, the inner hole positioning and expanding function is realized, the demolding function is also realized rapidly, the working efficiency is greatly improved, meanwhile, the accuracy requirement of the coaxiality of the inner hole is ensured, and the embodiment can be suitable for the working conditions with less driving force requirement and more positioning requirements. Meanwhile, the embodiment has compact structure and small occupied space, thereby being applicable to occasions with small installation space.
