AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing connector assemblies are difficult to adapt to assembly deviations in different directions, resulting in inconvenient connections and insufficient flexibility.

Method used

A floating connector is designed, including a connector body, a valve assembly, first and second flange members, and a bushing. By restricting the movement of the flange between the flange members and allowing the bushing to elastically deform, it adapts to assembly deviations and compensates for errors during connector mating.

Benefits of technology

It enables flexible docking of connector components when facing assembly deviations, improves connection reliability and fluid channel stability, reduces insertion force and ensures fluid connectivity.

Abstract

This invention provides a floating connector, a connector assembly, and a fluid system. The floating connector includes a connector body, a valve assembly, first and second flange members, and a bushing. The first and second flange members are sleeved on the outside of the connector body and are adjacent to and connected to each other in the axial direction of the connector body. The bushing is disposed radially between the connector body and the first flange member and / or between the connector body and the second flange member. The bushing is capable of elastic deformation. The connector body includes a flange disposed on its outer periphery. The flange is confined between the first and second flange members and is movable relative to the first and second flange members. The above-described floating connector can accommodate / compensate assembly deviations when the floating connector mates with a mating connector. The connector assembly includes the above-described floating connector and a mating connector adapted to mate with it. The fluid system includes the above-described connector assembly.
