Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a clamping structure of a joint, and in particular to an anti-mis-touch clamping structure used for butt joint of a male and female joint and a female joint structure thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the existing water-cooling joint, the connection and assembly or separation of a male joint 9b and a female joint 9a is achieved by a button-type clamping structure.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, the existing water-cooling joint is usually configured on a female joint 9a or additionally equipped with a button-type clamping structure, which has a body 91, which is sleeved on the front end of the female joint 9a, and the body 91 has a mounting hole 910 provided with a ring body 911, and the outer periphery of the ring body 911 has a pressing body 912 corresponding to the mounting hole 910, and the inner periphery is provided with an arc-shaped clamping block 914 relative to the pressing body 912. The ring body 911 is continuously supported by a spring 913, so that the pressing body 912 of the ring body 911 is exposed on the outer surface of the body 91 without external force, and the axis between the ring body 911 and a plug-in channel of the body 91 is offset. Therefore, when the male joint 9b is inserted into the female joint 9a, the arc-shaped clamping block 914 on the inner periphery of the ring body 911 and the annular clamping groove 920 of the male joint 9b interfere with each other axially, so that the two are connected and assembled. In addition, when the user applies an additional external force to the pressing body 912 to compress the spring 913, the arc-shaped block 914 of the ring body 911 withdraws from interfering with the annular groove 920, so that the male and female connectors 9b and 9a can be separated smoothly.

[0004] In addition, the existing button-type water-cooling joints are often configured in a space with limited space and the volume is minimized as much as possible. Therefore, the assembly or separation operation is not only inconvenient due to space limitations, but also prone to unexpected collisions or squeezing due to limited space. At this time, because the pressing body 912 of the ring body 911 is supported by the spring 913 in the conventional structure, it is protruding from the outer surface of the body 91, so it is easy to use or the pressing body 912 is subjected to unexpected external forces during assembly, which leads to the unexpected separation of the male connector 9b from the female connector 9a.

[0005] Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and deficiencies is the direction that the inventor of this case and related manufacturers engaged in this industry are eager to study and improve. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The above-mentioned objects and the structural and functional characteristics of the present invention will be described based on the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Please refer to the present invention, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the anti-mistouch card structure of the present invention; Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the decomposition of the anti-mistouch card structure of the present invention; Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the anti-mistouch card structure of the present invention; and, Figure 7 for Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the cross-section of the anti-mistouch card structure along the a-a' line.

[0040] As the present invention Figure 3 As shown, an anti-mis-touch card structure of the present invention is used for assembling or separating a male connector 1 and a female connector 2a in a water cooling connector. Figure 4 As shown, the anti-accidental touch locking structure is arranged on the female connector 2a. And, during docking assembly, the male connector 1 is locked by the anti-accidental touch locking structure to complete the assembly. The outer surface of a plug-in portion 11 at the front end of the male connector 1 has a circumferentially recessed locking groove 110, so that after the male connector 1 is inserted into the anti-accidental touch locking structure, the anti-accidental touch locking structure will provide interference with the corresponding locking groove 110, thereby generating axial limit.

[0041] Please also refer to Figures 4 to 6The anti-mis-touch card structure of the present invention comprises: a body 21, a sleeve 23, and a pressing unit assembly 24. A plug-in channel 20 is formed inside the body 21, so that the plug-in portion 11 of the male connector 1 can be inserted from the channel opening at the front end of the plug-in channel 20 during the docking process. At the same time, a ring-shaped assembly groove 201 is further recessed in the plug-in channel 20 of the body 21 near the front end, and a through hole 202 that penetrates the body 21 from at least one side of the assembly groove 201. More specifically, as Figure 7 As shown, the assembly groove 201 can connect the through holes 202 on the upper and lower sides and vertically penetrate in the form of a consistent aperture. Therefore, the components arranged therein can be guided to move vertically (radially) along the opening direction of the through holes 202 in the assembly groove 201.

[0042] The sleeve 23 is sleeved outside the body 21, and an opening 230 is cut from the front end of the sleeve 23 toward the rear end. Figure 4 As shown, the opening 230 overlaps and corresponds to the through hole 202 . Thus, the insertion channel 20 can be connected to the outside of the sleeve 23 via the through hole 202 and the opening 230 .

[0043] The pressing unit assembly 24 comprises a ring body 241 , a pressing body 242 and a spring 243 . The ring body 241 is accommodated in the assembly groove 201 through the through hole 202 , so the ring body 241 can move vertically through the through hole 202 .

[0044] Further, and Figure 7 As shown, the ring body 241 has two shoulders 241s. In the present embodiment, the ring body 241 may be in a U-shaped form, and the shoulders 241s are formed by the two ends of the U-shaped form and the connection points with the pressing body 242. The ring body 241 and the pressing body 242 may be integrally formed. More specifically, the pressing body 242 and the ring body 241 are configured in an L-shaped form. In addition, the opening lateral width h of the opening 230 of the sleeve 23 is smaller than the shoulder width H of the ring body 241, so that the ring body 241 is pressed by the opening 230 and cannot be disengaged from the opening 230 of the sleeve 23.

[0045] Specifically, after the ring body 241 passes through the through hole 202, the shoulders 241s connecting the two sides of the pressing body 242 are respectively limited by the top stop portions 230s of the sleeve 23 adjacent to the inner circumference of the two sides of the opening 230, because the shoulder width H is greater than the horizontal width h of the opening, so that the ring body 241 cannot continue to move vertically, thereby providing the maximum limit of the vertical movement of the ring body 241. Therefore, if Figure 4As shown, during the assembly process, in order to assemble them to complete the anti-mistouch card structure of the present invention, the ring body 241 of the pressing unit assembly 24 can be first correspondingly arranged in the assembly groove 201 of the main body 21, and then the sleeve 23 can be sleeved.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, after the assembly is completed, the ring body 241 is located in the assembly groove 201 , and the pressing body 242 is disposed in the opening 230 (and passes through the through hole 202 ) and connected to the ring body 241 , and protrudes out of the outer surface of the body 21 .

[0047] Specifically, the pressing body 242 is extended axially (at right angles to each other) along the outer surface of the main body 21 to form a flat plate, and the flat plate has a pressing surface 242a facing outward for the user to apply force, and a receiving surface 242b facing the side of the main body 21. In this way, the spring 243 (for example, a compression spring) can be set between the receiving surface 242b of the pressing body 242 and the outer surface of the main body 21. After the assembly is completed, the pressing unit assembly 24 is set on the main body 21. At this time, the spring 243 will be vertically (and in the same direction as the through hole 202) to support and be set between the pressing body 242 and the main body 21.

[0048] It is worth noting that if the pressing unit set 24 is installed first and then the sleeve 23 is installed during the assembly process, the spring 243 still needs to be temporarily applied with a pre-force (for example, continuously pressing the pressing body 242) to compress it before the sleeve 23 is installed, so that the pressing unit set 24 can be stably placed in the body 21 when the sleeve 23 does not provide a stop before the installation is completed. After the sleeve 23 is installed on the outer surface of the body 21, the two shoulders 241s of the ring body 241 are stopped respectively, and the installation of the pressing unit set 24 is completed at this time, and the above-mentioned pre-force can be released (no external force acts on the pressing body 242) and the spring 243 is naturally supported without falling off.

[0049] In addition, if Figure 6 As shown, in order to make the spring 243 be more stably arranged between the pressing body 242 and the main body 21, a plane can be formed on the outer surface of the main body 21 corresponding to the position where the spring 243 is supported, or even a groove 21u can be formed concavely, so that the spring 243 will not be separated from the setting position. Similarly, the corresponding position of the receiving surface 242b of the pressing body 242 can also be formed with the groove 21u as described above, or even a protrusion 242r can be formed corresponding to the axis of the spring 243 to prevent it from being easily separated from the setting position.

[0050] However, in order to facilitate the sleeve 23 to be mounted on the body 21 without affecting the spring 243 disposed relative to the body 21, for example, Figure 4 As shown, the opening 230 of the sleeve 23 can also be extended axially to the front end of the sleeve 23 and form an open side 230a. During assembly, the sleeve 23 is sleeved from the rear end of the body 21 with its front end, so that the spring 243 arranged (supported) on the outer surface of the body 21 can be arranged in the opening 230 from the open side 230a; and the opening 230 also has an axial length, which is suitable for the sleeve 23 to be completely sleeved on the body 21 while the arrangement of the spring 243 is still undisturbed. Of course, if the size and shape of the pressing body 242 match the opening 230, the opening 230 has a sufficient axial length.

[0051] At the same time, the present invention also has a stopper 213 radially protruding from the end of the body 21. Figure 6 As shown, the outer diameter of the stopper 213 is at least flush with or slightly higher than the pressing surface 242a of the pressing body 242, or even higher than the pressing surface 242a, so that unexpected external forces can be prevented from acting on the pressing body 242 of the pressing unit set 24. In addition, in some embodiments, the pressing surface 242a of the pressing body 242 may also be slightly higher than the stopper 213 within the flush range, as long as the unexpected external forces can be effectively prevented from acting on the pressing body 242 of the pressing unit set 24, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0052] In addition, the stopper 213 can also provide a limiting function. For example, during the assembly process, when the sleeve 23 is sleeved from the rear end of the body 21, the front end of the sleeve 23 will not slide forward until it contacts the stopper 213 and is limited, providing a more stable assembly while the open side 230a in front of the opening 230 of the sleeve 23 is closed by the stopper 213.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 6 to 9 , showing various states of the present invention from insertion to assembly completion when actually used. Before assembly and docking, the spring 243 is supported between the pressing body 242 and the body 21 without being acted upon by external forces. Therefore, the axis between the ring body 241 and the insertion channel 20 of the body 21 is offset. At this time, the distal end of the ring body 241 relative to the pressing body 242 is exposed in the insertion channel 20.

[0054] like Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the slot 110 of the male connector 1 can be formed in a relatively concave form between a convex bank 111 with a slope surface 111a and a platform 112 of a gentle slope type. Therefore, when the male connector 1 and the female connector 2a are assembled and docked, because the convex bank 111 has the slope surface 111a facing the front end, when the plug-in portion 11 is pushed by the axial external force and gradually inserted into the plug-in channel 20, the slope surface 111a can convert the axial force into a vertical direction to drive the inner circumference of the ring body 241 and withdraw from the plug-in channel 20 and compress the spring 243, so as to gradually reduce the amplitude of the vertical movement (and the axial center deviation) until the convex bank 111 can completely pass through.

[0055] In other embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, corresponding to the slope 111a, the inner circumference of the ring body 241 faces the front end, that is, faces the insertion direction of the male connector 1, and may also form an annular slope 241a. The annular slope 241a may be parallel to the slope 111a. Thus, the two slopes face to face to increase the effective force-bearing contact surface for converting the axial external force into the radial direction, so that the axial external force transmitted by the slope 111a can be more evenly converted into the vertical direction during the assembly process to compress the spring 243.

[0056] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, after the ridge 111 passes, the ring body 241 will be driven by the spring 243 again to deviate from the axis and move vertically without the external force, and enter the slot 110 to complete the assembly, thereby achieving the effect of axial limiting.

[0057] Subsequently, if the user wants to separate the male connector 1 and the female connector 2a, the user only needs to apply an external force vertically to the pressing surface 242a of the pressing body 242 to compress the spring 243, so that the ring body 241 enters and is fully accommodated in the assembly groove 201 after being pressed down (while withdrawing from the slot 110), so that the plug-in part 11 can be separated from the ring body 241 and the separation is completed. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the user's force application, the diameter of the spring 243 can also be correspondingly gradually expanded from the pressing body 242 to the outer surface of the main body 21, so as to guide the user's force from the pressing body 242 to maintain the vertical transmission effect. As mentioned above, Figure 6 As shown, at this time, the protrusion 242r can be provided on the receiving surface 242b corresponding to the end of the spring 243 with a smaller diameter, and the groove 21u can be provided on the end of the main body 21 corresponding to the end of the spring 243 with a larger diameter.

[0058] In summary, the blocking portion 213 of the present invention is designed to be at least flush with (or slightly higher than) the pressing body 242, which can effectively block unexpected external forces and prevent unexpected separation. Furthermore, the present invention can effectively prevent the male connector 1 from unexpectedly separating from the female connector 2a due to unexpected external forces in a limited space without increasing the unnecessary volume of the anti-mis-touch card structure, making it more convenient for users to operate in a limited space.

[0059] In addition, see Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the outer surface of the front end of the female connector 2a may be provided with an annular groove 20b along the circumferential direction. In particular, the inner circumference of the rear end of the body 21 of the anti-mistaken-touch card structure corresponds to the annular groove 20b of the female connector 2a (for example, concave and convex). Specifically, the inner circumference of the rear end of the body 21 is provided with at least one corresponding fixing hole 20p (for example, two), and each of the two corresponding fixing holes 20p is provided with (pierced with) a fixing pin 211a.

[0060] And participate Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing pins 211a can just enter the annular groove 20b of the female connector 2a and slide (move) in a corresponding manner, so that the anti-mis-touch card structure (the body 21) can rotate axially relative to the female connector 2a. This allows the user to adjust the hand position by rotating at any time when assembling or separating in a limited space according to the needs of grasping or operation.

[0061] More specifically, in order to make the force transmission effect of the limit more stable and balanced, the fixing holes 20p and the fixing pins 211a therein can be formed into two groups symmetrically (parallel). Figure 5 As shown, for the convenience of assembly, the sleeve 23 may also have at least one fixing pin assembly hole 230p, which is arranged corresponding to the fixing hole 20p and can allow the fixing pins 211a to pass through. Therefore, the assembly sequence is to complete the sleeve 23 being sleeved outside the body 21, and then assemble the anti-mis-touch card structure and the female connector 2a, and set the fixing pins 211a in the fixing holes 20p of the body 21 through the fixing pin assembly hole 230p.

[0062] Furthermore, considering the limited (narrow) space, for example, when the left and right sides of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2a are occupied, there may not even be enough width in the narrow space to allow the male connector 1 and / or the female connector 2a to be directly grasped by hand. Therefore, the present invention may further include a handle 232 disposed on the outer peripheral end of the rear section of the sleeve 23.

[0063] Thus, better gripping auxiliary force can be obtained by grasping the handle 232, so as to facilitate the operation of the sleeve 23 and the male connector 1 and the female connector 2a. Thus, the present invention is not only suitable for use in a system with limited space, but also more convenient for users to operate assembly and separation in a limited space.

[0064] The above is a detailed description of the present invention, and the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
