For the limited connection with the end cap 50 and for preventing the erroneous operation, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, a guiding groove 111 and a limiting groove 112 are provided on the outer wall of the end portion of the core bar 10. The guide groove 111 is provided along the axial direction of the core bar 10, and is formed by extending the end of the core bar 10 along the axial direction. The limit groove 112 is provided along the circumferential direction of the core bar 10, and penetrates the guide groove 111. The specific shapes of the limiting groove 112 and the guide groove 111 are not limited, and they are mutually communicated to form a corner groove. In this embodiment, the limiting groove 112 is perpendicular to the guiding groove 111 to form an L-shaped corner groove. In other embodiments, the limit slot 112 need not be perpendicular to the wire slot.
The number of the limiting grooves 112 and the number of the guiding grooves 111 can be set according to the requirement, in this embodiment, 2 limiting grooves 112 and 2 guiding grooves 111 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the core rod 10.
Accordingly, as shown in fig. 3, 4 and 5, the end cap 50 is provided with a shaft hole 51 which is inserted into the end of the core rod 10. In order to cooperate with the limit groove 112 and the guide groove 111, a corresponding positioning portion 52 is provided on the inner wall of the shaft hole 51. The positioning portion 52 protrudes from the inner wall of the shaft hole 51, and is capable of being locked into the guiding slot 111 and being rotated into the limiting slot 112 from the guiding slot 111.
In the installation, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the shaft hole 51 corresponds to the end of the core 10, the positioning portion 52 corresponds to the limiting groove 112, then the end cap 50 is sleeved on the end of the core 10 along the axial direction of the core 10, and then the end cap 50 is rotated, so that the positioning portion 52 of the end cap 50 slides from the guiding groove 111 to the other end of the limiting groove 112, thereby the end cap 50 and the core 10 form an axial limiting connection, and the end cap 50 cannot axially move relative to the core 10 (as shown in fig. 1).
When the end cap 50 is sleeved into the end of the core rod 10 and the positioning part 52 of the end cap is positioned in the guide groove 111, the end cap 50 is in a clamped state, and at the moment, the end cap 50 is in a first position state, namely, the end cap 50 can axially move relative to the core rod 10.
When the end cap 50 is sleeved into the end of the core rod 10 and the positioning part 52 is positioned in the limiting groove 112, the end cap 50 is in a clamped state, and is in a second position state in which the end cap 50 cannot axially move relative to the core rod 10.
When the end cover 50 is in the first position state, the connecting hole 41 on the elastic sheet 40 cannot correspond to the end cover 50 all the time when the cam handle 20 is rotated, so that the elastic sheet 40 cannot be sleeved on the end cover 50 to realize closing;
When the end cap 50 is in the second position, the connecting hole 41 on the elastic piece 40 can correspond to the end cap 50 when the cam handle 20 is rotated, so that the elastic piece 40 can be sleeved on the end cap 50 to realize closing.
The shapes of the connecting hole 41 and the end cap 50 may be set as required, and are not limited to the structure shown in the drawings of the present embodiment. For example, the end cap 50 is provided in an eccentric configuration, and when the end cap 50 is rotated, its end position is changed to be aligned with or offset from the connection hole 41. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, 3 and 4, the connecting hole 41 is a hexagonal hole, but not a regular hexagonal hole, the end of the end cap 50 is a hexagonal nut, but not a regular hexagonal nut, the hexagonal of the end cap 50 cannot be completely corresponding to the hexagonal of the connecting hole 41 in the first position state, and therefore the elastic piece 40 cannot be sleeved on the end cap 50, and the hexagonal of the end cap 50 completely corresponds to the hexagonal of the connecting hole 41 in the second position state, and at this time, the elastic piece 40 can be sleeved on the end cap 50.
To describe the structural principle in more detail, in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the end cap 50 includes a cover plate portion 53 and a connecting portion 54 that are integrally formed. The outer peripheral dimension of the cover plate 53 is larger than that of the connecting portion 54, and a first limiting step 55 is formed at the joint of the cover plate and the connecting portion. The cover plate 53 is in a plate shape, and is used for axially limiting the object 100 to be connected, so as to prevent the object 100 to be connected from falling out of the quick-release expansion device. The connecting portion 54 is used for connecting with the spring 40. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 54 has a hexagonal nut shape other than a regular hexagon.
As shown in fig. 4, the shaft hole 51 extends from an end of the cover plate 53 in the axial direction and penetrates into the connecting portion 54. The positioning portion 52 is disposed on the inner wall of the shaft hole 51, in this embodiment, on the cover portion 53, and is flush with the end of the cover portion 53 and protrudes from the inner wall of the shaft hole 51.

The stem body 12 is adapted to be coupled to the cam handle 20 and the expansion assembly 30. The limit connection post 11 is used for connecting with the end cover 50. The outer dimension of the limit connecting post 11 is smaller than the outer dimension of the core rod main body 12, so that a second limit step 13 is formed at the joint of the limit connecting post and the core rod main body. The second limiting step 13 may be used to abut against the cover plate portion 53 of the end cap 50.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the limit connecting post 11 has a cylindrical shape and is coaxial with the core rod main body 12. Two guide grooves 111 and two limit grooves 112 are arranged on the outer wall of the limit connecting column 11. In this embodiment, the bottom end of the limiting groove 112 is flush with the second limiting step 13, so that when the end cap 50 is locked in place and is in the second position, the cover plate 53 of the end cap 50 can abut against the surface of the second limiting step 13.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the cylindrical portion 122 is located between the cam connecting portion 121 and the circular truncated cone portion 123, and is used for movably sleeving the expansion assembly 30. The diameter of the cylindrical portion 122 may be set as required, and should be not greater than the outer peripheral dimension of the end cap 50, i.e., the outer peripheral dimension of the cover plate portion 53, so that the end cap 50 can perform an axial limiting function.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the surface of the truncated cone 123 is a conical surface, which facilitates the extrusion with the outer cone sleeve 32. The diameter of the end of the truncated cone 123, which is far from the cylindrical portion 122, is larger than the diameter of the cylindrical portion 122, so that the end of the core rod body 12 is expanded. In addition, the diameter of the end of the truncated cone portion 123 away from the cylindrical portion 122 should be smaller than the outer peripheral dimension of the cover plate portion 53, so that the end cap 50 can perform an axial limiting function.
As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the cam handle 20 is rotatably connected to the end of the core 10, and in this embodiment, is rotatably connected to the cam connection portion 121 of the core 10 through a rotation shaft 70.

The material of the spring 40 may be selected according to the requirement, for example, a metal material. The shape of the elastic sheet 40 may be set according to needs, and in this embodiment, the elastic sheet 40 and the extension 22 form a U-shaped structure, which is beneficial to hanging beams. The shape of the connecting hole 41 may be set according to the need, and in this embodiment, it is a hexagonal shape other than a regular hexagonal shape.

In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the third tapered surface 332 is identical to the inclination angle of the second tapered surface 322, so that the inner and outer tapered sleeves 33 and 32 can be engaged with the second tapered surface 322 through the third tapered surface 332. When the inner cone sleeve 33 is matched with the outer cone sleeve 32, the third cone surface 332 of the inner cone sleeve 33 is matched with the second cone surface 322 of the outer cone sleeve 32, the inner cone sleeve 33 and the outer cone sleeve 32 can be mutually extruded to enable the outer cone sleeve 32 to expand outwards, and the inner cone sleeve 33 is contracted inwards to hold the core pin tightly.
