AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, for a fluid connector to function properly, a slot or aperture must be machined into the connector body to allow the retaining clip to protrude through and engage the end molding, which requires additional post-processing machining
Additionally, it is difficult to install the retaining clip onto the connector body during assembly, and failure to properly install the retaining clip jeopardizes the structural integrity of the retaining clip
Also, since the clip is so thin and small, it can be easily lost if dropped or misplaced

Abstract

A cartridge (20) for a fluid connector, the fluid connector comprising a connector body (40) having a bore and a flange (52), and a tube end profile (80), the cartridge includes a first end, a second end, a through bore (34), a first radially outward surface (24) including at least one aperture (28A, 28B) extending radially inward into the through bore, and a retention clip (70) including at least one protrusion (72A, 72B) operably arranged to extend into the through bore.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to fluid connectors, and more particularly, to a fluid connector that includes a cartridge for a retaining clip that eliminates the need for post-processing of the connector body and ensures that the retaining clip is always received. Background technique [0002] Fluid connectors are integral components for many applications, especially automotive applications. Because automotive systems are made up of multiple components such as radiators, transmissions, and engines, fluids must be able to flow not only within each component, but also between components. One example of a fluid flowing between components is transmission fluid flowing from the transmission to an oil cooler of the transmission to reduce the temperature of the transmission fluid. Fluid moves between components primarily through flexible or rigid hoses, which are connected to each component by fluid connectors. Such fluid connectors typically include retai...
