Problems solved by technology

Although the above-mentioned problems can be solved by high-precision manufacturing after adjusting the dimensions of each part, there is a problem that it must be manufactured with higher precision as miniaturization is pursued.
Also, the higher the accuracy, the higher the cost

[0086] Overview of Quick Connectors

[0087] refer to Figure 1 ~ Figure 3 The outline of the quick connector 1 according to this embodiment will be described. like figure 1 As shown, the quick connector 1 is used to form, for example, gasoline fuel piping of an automobile. That is, the quick connector 1 forms a flow path through which, for example, fuel flows. One end side of the quick connector 1 ( figure 1 , figure 2 on the left side) is connected with the resin tube (not shown), the tube body 3 (such as Figure 23 shown) is inserted into the other end side of the quick connector 1 and connected with the other end side. That is, the quick connector 1 performs piping connection of the pipe body 3 and the resin pipe, and allows gasoline fuel to flow. The tube body 3 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and has an annular protrusion 3a (such as Figure 23 shown). The quick connector 1 includes a first housing 10 , a second housing 30 , a checker 50 , a collar 70 and a...

[0149] Next, the quick connector of the second embodiment will be described. The second housing and the checker of the quick connector of the second embodiment are different from the quick connector of the first embodiment. In addition, the mode in the locked confirmation state and when moving from the locked confirmed state to the released state is different from that of the first embodiment. The difference will be described below. In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same structure as 1st Embodiment, and description is abbreviate|omitted.

[0150] Detailed structure of the second shell

[0151] refer to Figure 38 ~ Figure 46 The detailed structure of the second housing 130 will be described. The second housing 130 includes a housing body part 131 and a holder part 141 . In addition, since the case main body portion 131 and the holder portion 141 are integrally formed, there is no strict boundary, but here, the Figure 38 The axis direction ...

Abstract

Provided is a quick connector which enables, when the elastically deformable claw of a retainer and the elastically deformable claw of a checker are disposed so as to be adjacent to each other in the axial direction, the engagement of a pipe body with the retainer to be reliably confirmed. Checker's axial elastically deformable claws (52, 52) are configured so that the front end side thereof can bend and deform in the axial direction. When the bending and deformation of the checker's axial elastically deformable claws (52, 52) are restricted by a retainer's elastically deformable claw (49), which can be expanded in diameter, while the claw (49) is expended in diameter, the claws (52, 52) are maintained engaged with second engagement sections (46) of the retainer body (42). When engaged with the second engagement sections (46) of the retainer body (42), the sliding motion of the checker's axial elastically deformable claws (52, 52) from a first position in a set radial direction relative to the retainer body (42) is restricted. The checker's axial elastically deformable claws (52, 52) can be disengaged from the second engagement sections (46) of the retainer body (42) when the shape of the retainer's elastically deformable claw (49) which can be expanded in diameter is restored, and this enables the claws (52, 52) to slide from the first position to a second position in the set radial direction relative to the retainer body (42).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a quick connector. Background technique [0002] Examples of quick connectors include those disclosed in JP-A-2005-282762 (Patent Document 1) and JP-A-2007-278508 (Patent Document 2). These documents describe quick connectors that have a checker that confirms whether or not the tube body is securely locked to the holder. [0003] The operation performed until the locking is confirmed by the checker is as follows. When the tubular body is inserted into the retainer, the diameter of the elastically deformable claw of the retainer is enlarged by the annular protrusion of the tubular body. Then, when the annular protrusion of the tubular body passes the position of the elastically deformable claw of the holder, the shape of the elastically deformable claw is restored, and the annular protrusion of the tubular body is locked with the elastically deformable claw of the retainer. On the other hand, the diameter of the elastically d...
