[0029] Example

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a connector capable of accommodating position deviation comprises a male end A and a female end B, wherein the male end A is plug-assembled with the female end B, the female end B comprises a female upper shell 1, a female lower shell 2, a female sleeve 3 and a female valve body C, the female upper shell 1 is detachably connected to the female lower shell 2, the female valve body C is installed inside the female upper shell 1 and the female lower shell 2, a female outer sealing ring 12 is installed at the connection between the female upper shell 1 and the female lower shell 2, the male end A comprises a male upper shell 13, a male lower shell 14, a male upper shell locking nut 15, a male upper shell locking sleeve 16 and a male locking cover 17, the male upper shell 13 is detachably connected to the male lower shell 14 through the male upper shell locking nut 15, the male upper shell locking sleeve 16 is detachably connected to the male upper shell locking nut 15, the male locking cover 17 is detachably connected to the male upper shell 13, and a male valve body D is provided inside the male upper shell 13.

[0031] The female valve body C includes a female valve core 4, a female return spring 10 and a female valve column 11. The female valve core 4 is installed on the upper end of the female return spring 10. The female return spring 10 is installed on the upper part of the female valve column 11. A female connecting sealing ring 6 is provided on the upper part of the female valve core 4. A female inner sealing ring 7 is provided on the lower part of the female connecting sealing ring 6. A female isolation ring 8 is provided between the female connecting sealing ring 6 and the female inner sealing ring 7. A female valve core sealing ring 9 is provided on the top of the female valve column 11. A female color identification ring 5 is provided on the outside of the female end B.

[0032] The male end valve body D includes a male end valve core 20, a male end return spring 22, a male end stop spring 25 and a male end spring support seat 26. The male end valve core 20 is installed at the bottom of the male end return spring 22, the male end stop spring 25 is installed at the top of the male end return spring 22, the male end spring support seat 26 is installed between the male end stop spring 25 and the male end return spring 22, a male end upper shell body 13 is provided with a male end upper shell body sealing ring 18, a male end valve core sealing ring 21 is provided on the outer ring of the male end valve core 20, a male end correction sealing ring 19 is provided between the male end lower shell body 14 and the male end upper shell body locking sleeve 16, a male end color identification ring 23 is provided on the outside of the male end upper shell body 13, a male end outer sealing ring 24 is provided on the top of the male end lower shell body 14, and the top of the male end upper shell body 13 is a ball head structure.

[0033] When there is a position deviation, coaxial deviation and angle deviation between the male end A and the female end B, the ball head structure of the male end upper shell 13 can be offset along its radial direction or rotate around its ball center to automatically absorb the position deviation. This structural design enables the connector to be connected and work normally even if there is a certain installation deviation between the male end A and the female end B, ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0034] When the male end A and the female end B are in the disconnected state, the end face of the male end A and the end face of the valve core in the female end B are separated from each other and no longer abutted, and the valve core in the male end A and the end face supported by the center of the lower shell of the female end B are separated from each other and no longer abutted, but contact with the sealing ring structure of each matching seal to prevent fluid overflow and achieve two-way rapid sealing and flow interception. This shows that the connector can quickly achieve sealing through the sealing ring structure in the disconnected state to prevent fluid leakage.

[0035] The male and female return springs and the retaining spring are formed by winding, and the rest, except the sealing ring, are machined or injection molded, which is easy to produce.

[0036] The female end sub-parts are assembled through auxiliary equipment to form the female end sub-assembly of the connecting device, and the male end sub-parts are assembled through auxiliary equipment to form the male end sub-assembly of the connecting device. The male end sub-assembly and the female end sub-assembly of the connecting device are respectively installed and fixed to their respective matching counterparts, which reflects its modular assembly method and simplifies the assembly process.

[0037] The male end A and the female end B are plugged and assembled. When the male end A and the female end connector are in a connected state, the end face of the male end A abuts against the end face of the valve core in the female end connector, that is, the male end valve core 20 abuts against the end face of the central support column of the lower shell of the female end connector.

[0038] At this time, the male end valve core 20 abuts against the end face of the female end valve column 11, and is out of contact with the sealing ring structure that cooperates with each other for sealing. The sealing rings include the male end upper shell sealing ring 18, the male end valve core sealing ring 21, the male end correction sealing ring 19, the male end outer sealing ring 24, the female end outer sealing ring 12, the female end valve core sealing ring 9, the female end connecting sealing ring 6, the female end inner sealing ring 7, etc., to realize a passage for the fluid to flow through.

[0039] When the male end A and the female end B are in a disconnected state, the end face of the male end A and the end face of the female end valve column 11 are separated from each other and no longer abut against each other, but are in contact with their respective sealing ring structures to prevent fluid overflow and achieve two-way rapid sealing and flow cutoff.

[0040] Through the movable contact between the ball head structure on the top of the male end upper shell 13 and the male end lower shell 14, the two independently separated pipelines are connected, and the position deviation of the male end A and the female end B is automatically absorbed.

[0041] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention. The common sense such as the known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. The ordinary technicians in the relevant field are aware of all the common technical knowledge in the technical field of the invention before the application date or priority date, can obtain all the existing technologies in the field, and have the ability to apply the conventional experimental means before that date. The ordinary technicians in the relevant field can improve and implement the scheme in combination with their own abilities under the enlightenment given by this application. Some typical known structures or known methods should not become obstacles for the ordinary technicians in the relevant field to implement this application. It should be pointed out that for the technicians in this field, without departing from the structure of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
