Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pneumatic pipe joints, and in particular relates to a pneumatic female joint suitable for various pneumatic male joints. Background Art

[0002] Pneumatic pipe joints are currently important connecting components for connecting pneumatic pipe systems to air sources, and they play an important connecting role. Existing pneumatic female joints need to be frequently connected or disconnected with pneumatic male joints in workshop pneumatic systems, but generally a pneumatic female joint of one specification is matched with a pneumatic male joint of one specification, that is, a one-to-one correspondence. With the increase in the types of equipment in production and processing workshops, it is necessary to connect multiple pneumatic male joints of different diameters and lengths for different adaptability to air source flow. Then different male joints require different female joints to match, resulting in the entire air source connection system, especially the pneumatic female joints need to be installed with multiple specifications for matching. In addition, after the existing male joint and female joint are connected, due to the presence of high-pressure gas at the connection, the air source needs to be turned off before the male joint and female joint can be separated. How to solve the above technical problems is the object of research for technical personnel in this field. Summary of the invention

[0003] The invention provides a pneumatic female connector with a simple structure, pressure-connected gas sources of a male connector and a female connector, and convenient separation, and suitable for various pneumatic male connectors.

[0004] A pneumatic female joint suitable for a variety of pneumatic male joints, comprising a tubular joint body, one end of the joint body is provided with a valve core for controlling the inlet and outlet of gas, the valve core is a tubular structure coaxial with the joint body, one end of the valve core is connected to the inner wall of the joint body through a sealing ring inside the joint body, the other end of the valve core extends out of the joint body, the valve core is cooperated with the outer wall of the extended part to connect the pneumatic male joint connecting device, the valve core is provided with an annular third limiting groove on the inner wall of the extended part, a stepped third sealing ring is embedded and installed in the third limiting groove, the inner wall of the third sealing ring is provided with a first sealing hole and a second sealing hole of two different diameters, a first sealing surface is provided at the connection between the first sealing hole and the second sealing hole, the outer wall of the third sealing ring is provided with a concave ring, and the concave ring is embedded with the convex ring on the inner wall of the valve core; the joint body vertically penetrates the connecting valve stem, the valve stem is connected to the first sealing ring to control the opening and closing of the valve port arranged on the pipe wall of the joint body, one side of the valve port is connected to the inner wall of the joint body, and the other side is connected to the exhaust cavity, and the exhaust cavity is connected to the inclined hole located in the pipe wall of the joint body. This type of pneumatic female connector is connected to the inner wall of the connector body through a sealing ring at one end of the valve core inside the connector body. That is, when the pneumatic female connector is connected to the air source, the entire pneumatic pipeline is in a closed state and will not leak. Only after the pneumatic male connector is connected will the valve core be opened to allow the pneumatic male connector to exhaust air. In order to improve the connection adaptability of the pneumatic female connector to pneumatic male connectors of various specifications, a stepped third sealing ring is embedded in the third limiting groove. The first sealing holes and the second sealing holes of two different diameters can adapt to two pneumatic male connectors of different diameters. On the basis of the two pneumatic male connectors of different diameters, end face sealing structures of pneumatic male connectors of different lengths are formed through the first sealing surface, thereby achieving the technical performance of multiple pneumatic male connectors adapting to one pneumatic female connector. Since the pneumatic female connector of the present invention is in a closed state under normal conditions, one end is connected to a pressurized gas source, and the other end can be directly connected to a pneumatic male connector. In order to achieve the rapid separation performance of the pneumatic male connector and the pneumatic female connector under pressure conditions, and at this time, the valve core of the pneumatic female connector cannot be directly closed because the entire pipeline carries high pressure, the present invention adopts a connector body that vertically penetrates the valve stem, and the valve stem is connected to a first sealing ring to control the opening and closing of a valve port arranged on the pipe wall of the connector body. One side of the valve port is connected to the inner wall of the connector body, and the other side is connected to an exhaust cavity. The exhaust cavity is connected to an inclined hole located on the pipe wall of the connector body, and the valve stem is vertically penetrated through the connector body. The opening and closing of the exhaust cavity is controlled by the valve stem, and the pressure in the pneumatic female connector is relieved and exhausted by the inclined hole, so that the pressure of the pneumatic female connector and the pneumatic male connector can be separated under pressure conveniently. After the pneumatic male connector is separated, the pneumatic female connector automatically closes the pipeline through the valve core to prevent air leakage, thereby avoiding the technical problem that when the gas source and the pneumatic female connector are far apart in a large workshop, personnel walk a long distance to switch the gas source to separate the pneumatic female connector and the pneumatic male connector.

[0005] One side of the sealing ring fits into the installation groove inside the connecting joint body, and the other side is provided with a limit ring; the valve core is provided with a ventilation concave ring near one end of the sealing ring, and air holes are provided on the circumference of the ventilation concave ring. When one end of the valve core is tightly connected to the sealing ring, the axial front and rear space of the sealing ring is isolated from ventilation.

One end of the first connecting tube is connected to the inner wall thread of the connector body. A limiting hole is arranged on the wall of the first connecting tube, and a limiting steel ball is installed in the limiting hole. A second spring is sleeved on the outer circumference of the first connecting tube, and a control tube is sleeved on the outer circumference of the second spring. The inner wall of the control tube is provided with an annular first limiting groove and a second limiting groove of different depths. The first limiting groove accommodates more than half of the limiting steel ball, and the second limiting groove accommodates less than half of the limiting steel ball. The first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are arranged front and back along the axial direction of the control tube; one end of the second spring is connected to the end face of the valve core, and the other end is connected to the reduced diameter step surface of the inner wall of the control tube. This pneumatic male connector connecting device cooperates with the pneumatic male connector through the limiting hole and the limiting steel ball in the wall of the first connecting tube. When the pneumatic male connector needs to be connected, the control tube is pressed down to compress the second spring. The pneumatic male connector is inserted into the inner wall of the first connecting tube and the limiting steel ball is squeezed into the first limiting groove. Then the control tube is reset under the action of the second spring, and the limiting steel ball is squeezed into the second limiting groove to complete the clamping of the pneumatic male connector, prevent the pneumatic male connector from being separated from the pneumatic female connector, and complete the quick connection performance of the two. At the same time of connection, the pneumatic male connector will push one end of the valve core to extend out of the sealing ring, and the air hole of the valve core connects the axial front and rear space of the sealing ring to realize the automatic connection performance of the internal gas of the pneumatic male connector and the pneumatic female connector, without the need to open and close the air source twice.

[0007] The second sealing hole of the third sealing ring is connected to the concave ring via a sealing end face, and this sealing end face can further perform secondary sealing on the connecting end face of the pneumatic male connector.

[0008] The joint body is provided with mounting step holes on the bottom surface at both ends of the valve stem, and the bottom surface of the mounting step hole is connected to one end of the valve stem. The valve stem extends out of the joint body at this end, and the valve stem is matched with the second mounting step hole of the joint body through the first sealing seat at the other end. The bottom of the second mounting step hole is an exhaust cavity, and the end of the first sealing seat is connected to the first sealing ring. The joint body is provided with mounting step holes on the bottom surface at both ends of the valve stem, which improves the sealing performance between the joint body and the valve stem, ensuring that the exhaust cavity will be exhausted only when the valve stem is opened, and the pneumatic male joint and the pneumatic female joint are easy to separate after exhaust and pressure relief.

[0009] A third sealing ring is provided on the outer periphery of the first sealing seat, and the third sealing ring is tightly connected to the inner wall of the second mounting step hole to improve the sealing performance; a fourth sealing ring is provided at the matching position between one end of the valve stem and the mounting step hole to improve the sealing performance.

[0010] The outer periphery of the joint body is provided with an inclined conical surface, and the taper of the inclined hole is consistent with the conical surface, which reduces the difficulty of drilling the inclined hole, and the conical surface provides a reference surface for drilling the inclined hole.

[0011] A first protrusion located on the outer periphery of the valve stem is provided on the inner side of the valve port, and a return spring is provided on the first protrusion and the outer periphery of the valve stem. One end of the return spring is connected to the outer wall of the exhaust chamber, and the other end is connected to the boss on the outer periphery of the valve stem.

[0012] The present invention realizes the connection of pneumatic male joints of various lengths and diameters by cooperating with a step-shaped sealing ring through a pneumatic male joint connection device, and realizes the exhaust performance of the joint body in combination with an inclined hole structure, so as to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the pneumatic male joint.
