Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, this embodiment provides a one-way valve connector, including an SAE female connector body 100, an SAE unlocking button 200, a sealing pressing member 300, a sealing member 400, a sealing ball 500 and a sealing seat 600; a limited support seat 710 is provided on one of the SAE female connector body 100 and the sealing seat 600, and a sealing ball seat 720 is provided on the other, and a flow channel 711 is provided on the limited support seat 710; the sealing ball 500 is located between the sealing ball seat 720 and the limited support seat 710, and a driving spring 730 is sleeved on the limited support seat 710 to make the sealing ball 500 have a tendency to move toward the sealing ball seat 720; the sealing seat 600, the sealing member 400 and the sealing pressing member 300 are sequentially inserted into the SAE female connector body 100, and the sealing pressing member 300 is clamped with the inner wall of the SAE female connector body 100; the SAE unlocking button 200 is detachably mounted on the SAE female connector body 100.

[0027] Specifically, during assembly, the driving spring 730 and the sealing ball 500 are arranged between the sealing ball seat 720 and the limiting support seat 710, and then the sealing ball 500, the sealing seat 600, the sealing member 400 and the sealing pressing member 300 are sequentially placed into the SAE female connector body 100, and the sealing ball 500 is located between the sealing ball seat 720 and the limiting support seat 710. One-way conduction can be achieved through the driving spring 730, and the sealing pressing member 300 can press and fix the sealing member 400 and the sealing seat 600 on the SAE female connector body 100. When the SAE male connector 800 is inserted, the sealing performance of the SAE male connector 800 and the SAE female connector body 100 can be achieved through the sealing member 400 and the sealing seat 600. Through such an arrangement, the performance of the one-way valve is improved.

[0028] The sealing ball seat 720 is provided with a flow hole, and the flow hole and the sealing ball 500 are interference fit.

[0029] See also Figures 1-10 As shown, the one-way valve connector provided in this embodiment complies with the SAE connector standard (a standard connector developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the United States). The SAE female connector body 100 defines a snap-fit ​​groove 101, into which an SAE unlocking button 200 is snapped. The SAE unlocking button 200 is snapped onto the SAE female connector body 100 and serves to restrain the SAE male connector 800, preventing it from falling off.

[0030] The SAE female connector body 100 can be configured to be straight, cross, L or T-shaped, etc., and those skilled in the art can configure it according to actual needs.

[0031] It should be pointed out that the one-way valve connector provided in this embodiment has few components and is light in weight. It is suitable for any medium flow direction and can be used for various common media, such as coolant, water, gas, fuel oil or fuel gas. It has low flow resistance and low opening force (20mba, continuous medium flow), high reverse sealing, low internal leakage (20mm³ / s), a wide applicable pressure range (-1bar-40bar), and a wide applicable temperature range (-40℃-180℃).

[0032] See also Figures 1-10 As shown, in an optional solution of this embodiment, a side of the sealing ball seat 720 that contacts the sealing ball 500 is provided with an arc-shaped recess 721 for increasing the contact area with the sealing ball 500. The outer wall of the sealing seat 600 is provided with multiple sealing ribs 610.

[0033] Specifically, a plurality of sealing ribs 610 are provided on the outer wall of the sealing seat 600. The sealing ribs 610 are interference fit with the SAE female connector body 100, thereby increasing the friction between the sealing seat 600 and the inner wall of the SAE female connector body 100, so that the sealing seat 600 and the inner wall of the SAE female connector body 100 are sealed to prevent medium leakage, and an arc-shaped recess 721 is provided on the sealing ball seat 720. Through the setting of the arc-shaped recess 721, the contact area between the sealing ball seat 720 and the sealing ball 500 can be increased, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0034] The provision of the arcuate recess 721 can adapt to changes in the operating state of the sealing ball 500, such as expansion or contraction of the sealing ball 500, thereby improving sealing performance. Furthermore, the ratio of the diameter of the sealing ball 500 to the depth of the arcuate recess 721 is no greater than 5, thereby improving the lateral stability of the sealing ball 500.

[0035] Among them, the cross-section of the sealing rib 610 is a right triangle, and the slope of the right triangle faces the sealing ball 500. Through such a setting, not only the friction between the sealing seat 600 and the inner wall of the SAE female connector body 100 can be improved, but also the reverse blocking force of the sealing seat 600 to the medium can be improved.

[0036] In addition, a first sealing ring groove 130 for installing the seal 400 and a second sealing ring groove 140 for installing the sealing seat 600 are provided in the SAE female connector body 100. The inner diameter of the second sealing ring groove 140 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first sealing ring groove 130, and the outer diameter of the sealing rib 610 is not larger than the inner diameter of the first sealing ring groove 130, so as to avoid damaging the surface of the first sealing ring groove 130 when the sealing rib 610 is installed.

[0037] In addition, a flow guiding slope 722 is provided on the side of the sealing ball seat 720 away from the sealing ball 500 . The provision of the flow guiding slope 722 can reduce the flow resistance of the medium when it flows through the sealing seat 600 .

[0038] It should be noted that the position-limiting support seat 710 can be disposed on the SAE female connector body 100, and the sealing ball seat 720 can be disposed on the sealing seat 600, or the position-limiting support seat 710 can be disposed on the sealing seat 600, and the sealing ball seat 720 can be disposed on the upper SAE female connector body 100. Preferably, the position-limiting support seat 710 can be disposed on the SAE female connector body 100, and the sealing ball seat 720 can be disposed on the sealing seat 600, so that the flow direction from the SAE male connector 800 to the SAE female connector body 100 is conductive.

[0039] The inner wall of the SAE female connector body 100 is provided with a retaining ring 110 to limit the movement of the sealing seat 600. The end of the sealing seat 600 facing the sealing ball 500 abuts against the retaining ring 110. The retaining ring 110 and the sealing and pressing member 300 cooperate to secure the sealing seat 600 in place, preventing it from moving along the inner wall of the SAE female connector body 100.

[0040] See also Figures 1-10 As shown, in an optional solution of this embodiment, a backstop groove 120 is opened on the inner wall of the SAE female connector body 100, and a backstop elastic card 310 is provided on the sealing and pressing member 300. The backstop elastic card 310 can be set in the backstop groove 120.

[0041] Specifically, a back-stop groove 120 is opened on the inner wall of the SAE female connector body 100, and a back-stop elastic card 310 is provided on the sealing and pressing member 300. When the sealing and pressing member 300 is inserted into the interior of the SAE female connector body 100, the back-stop elastic card 310 on the sealing and pressing member 300 will be stuck in the back-stop groove 120 on the inner wall of the SAE female connector body 100, thereby preventing the sealing and pressing member 300 from retreating, and the sealing and pressing member 300 can compress the sealing member 400 and the sealing seat 600.

[0042] A plurality of sealing members 400 are provided between the sealing pressing member 300 and the sealing seat 600 , and a spacer ring 410 is provided between two adjacent sealing members 400 .

[0043] See also Figures 1-10 As shown, in an optional solution of this embodiment, the compressed height of the driving spring 730 is smaller than the height of the limiting support seat 710.

[0044] Specifically, the compressed height of the driving spring 730 is smaller than the height of the limiting support seat 710. Through such a setting, when the sealing ball 500 is pressed on the limiting support seat 710 by the impact of the medium, the driving spring 730 is not in a completely compressed state, thereby improving the service life of the driving spring 730.

[0045] In addition, when the sealing ball seat 720 is set on the SAE female connector body 100, a guide rib 150 is set inside the SAE female connector body 100. The guide rib 150 can not only improve the structural strength of the sealing ball seat 720 on the SAE female connector body 100, but also multiple guide ribs 150 can guide the driving spring 730 to prevent the driving spring 730 from deviating.

[0046] This embodiment provides a fluid control pipeline, including a one-way valve connector.

[0047] Specifically, the fluid control pipeline provided in this embodiment has the advantages of the above-mentioned one-way valve joint compared with the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
