Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically a sealing block and a one-way valve for quick-connect nylon tubing in automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] In automotive nylon tubing pneumatic systems, traditional check valves are mostly civilian-grade versions. These valves are typically designed for low-pressure environments such as solenoid valves, cylinders, and air conditioning units, and their performance specifications are insufficient to meet the higher requirements of automotive pneumatic systems. Civilian quick-connect check valves have the following limitations: lower pressure resistance, unable to withstand the high pressure fluctuations that may occur in automotive pneumatic systems; insufficient airtightness maintenance; and a narrow temperature adaptability range, unable to reliably cover the extreme high and low temperature conditions that may occur during vehicle operation. Furthermore, their durability and sealing stability under repeated opening and closing conditions may be insufficient. Therefore, these civilian check valves are not suitable for automotive pneumatic environments with more stringent requirements for sealing, pressure resistance, temperature adaptability, and long-term reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a sealing block and a one-way valve for automotive nylon tubing quick-connect fittings. The sealing block has a simple assembly structure and low production cost. The one-way valve function can be achieved simply by placing the sealing block in the quick-connect fitting. It is suitable for automotive air circuit environments with more stringent requirements for sealing performance, pressure resistance, temperature adaptability, and long-term reliability.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a sealing block, comprising a cylindrical body, one end of the body being a sealing end, and the center of the end face of the sealing end being recessed inward to form a recessed portion, the edge of the recessed portion being protruding outward to form a sealing ring; the other end face of the body being a venting end, and the end face of the venting end being provided with a venting groove, and the outer side wall of the body being provided with a plurality of venting channels communicating with the venting groove.

[0005] A further improvement is that the vent end of the main body protrudes outward to form a circular boss, and a limiting step is formed between the circular boss and the main body.

[0006] A further improvement is that the ventilation groove is cross-shaped; and four ventilation channels are provided, which are respectively connected to the four ends of the ventilation groove.

[0007] A further improvement is that the sealing block is made of hydrogenated rubber material.

[0008] A further improvement is that the sealing block can withstand temperatures ranging from -40℃ to 120℃.

[0009] A further improvement is that the pressure resistance range of the sealing block is 5.5MPa~8MPa.

[0010] The present invention also provides a one-way valve for quick-connect nylon tubing connectors for automobiles, comprising a valve body, characterized in that: an installation space is provided within the valve body, and an air inlet and an air outlet are respectively provided at both ends of the installation space; a sealing block as described above is slidably disposed within the installation space; when the sealing block slides to the air inlet, the sealing end of the sealing block abuts and closes the air inlet; when the sealing block slides to the air outlet, the venting end of the sealing block abuts the air outlet, and the gas input through the air inlet passes through the venting channel and the venting groove in sequence before being discharged from the air outlet.

[0011] Further improvements include: the valve body can be a butt joint structure, a straight-through structure, a bend structure, a T-type tee structure, or an F-type tee structure.

[0012] A further improvement is that the air outlet of the installation space is provided with a cylindrical mounting base, the circular boss of the sealing block is inserted into the mounting base, and the limiting step abuts against the mounting base.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this invention, the sealing block assembly structure is simple and the production cost is low. The one-way valve function can be realized simply by placing the sealing block in the quick insert.

[0014] 2. In this invention, the sealing block has good fatigue resistance, long service life, wide range of high and low temperature resistance, and high pressure resistance.

[0015] 3. In this invention, the sealing block has wide applicability and can be applied to quick-connect fittings, straight quick-connect fittings, bend quick-connect fittings, tee quick-connect fittings, four-way quick-connect fittings, etc. Attached Figure Description
