[0045] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present embodiment provides a C-type valve connector, including a C-type valve core 1, a connecting component 2 and a cable connector 3; the connecting component 2 includes a shell 21 and a connecting cable 22, one end of the connecting cable 22 is electrically connected to the C-type valve core 1, the shell 21 is sleeved on the outside of the C-type valve and is arranged at the connection between the C-type valve core 1 and the connecting cable 22, and the shell 21 and the connecting cable 22 are non-detachably connected; the cable connector 3 is arranged at the other end of the connecting cable 22, and the cable connector 3 is used to connect to an external device.

[0046] The C-type valve core 1 is a C-type valve core 1 in an existing solenoid valve. The C-type valve connector shown in this embodiment is mainly used to connect the C-type valve core 1 with an external device. In this embodiment, the housing 21 in the connecting assembly 2 can be directly sleeved on the outside of the C-type valve core 1 to cover the C-type valve. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this method can protect the C-type valve core 1 from the external environment. Preferably, the housing 21 is made of an insulating material such as rubber, etc., and has a flexible deformation ability, which improves the connection sealing between the C-type valve core 1 and the connecting cable 22 while avoiding the leakage problem between the C-type valve core 1 and the connecting cable 22.

[0047] One end of the connecting cable 22 is embedded in the shell 21 and connected to the C-type valve core 1. It should be noted that the connecting cable 22 and the shell 21 are non-detachably connected, which means that the shell 21 and the connecting cable 22 are an integral whole, and the two are fixed during production so that the two cannot be disassembled. Preferably, the shell 21 and the outer rubber sleeve of the connecting cable 22 are integrally formed. This method solves the problems of poor sealing of the connection caused by the existing separate setting of the connecting cable 22 and the shell 21, easy water seepage and loosening after disassembly. In addition, the redundant installation steps between the connecting cable 22 and the shell 21 are omitted, and the entire connecting assembly 2 can be directly removed when replacing, which is convenient for maintenance and storage.

[0048] In this embodiment, the cable connector 3 is disposed at the other end of the connecting cable 22. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cable connector 3 is arranged at the end of the connecting cable 22 to be connected to the external device. Preferably, the number of the connecting components 2 can be multiple, and the cable connector 3 arranged at the end of the connecting cable 22 in each connecting component 2 is different in type, and is selected according to the actual situation. This method can save the step of adding an adapter between the connecting cable 22 and the external device, avoid the selection process of the adapter, the installation process, and the lack of sealing at the connection between the connecting cable 22 and the external device, and improve the wiring efficiency.

[0049] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a storage cavity is provided on the housing 21, and the connecting assembly 2 further includes a valve head needle 23, which is disposed in the storage cavity, and the connecting cable 22 is electrically connected to the C-type valve core 1 through the valve head needle 23. The storage cavity shown in this embodiment is disposed between the C-type valve core 1 and the housing 21, and a valve head needle 23 is disposed in the storage cavity. Figure 4 The end of the valve head needle 23 shown is provided with a hook-shaped protrusion, and the C-type valve core 1 is provided with a pin hole 11. When the valve head needle 23 is pressed into the C-type valve core 1, the hook-shaped protrusion can enter the pin hole 11 and abut against the inner wall of the pin hole 11, thereby realizing the snap connection between the valve head needle 23 and the pin hole 11. This method can effectively increase the contact area between the valve head needle 23 and the inner wall of the pin hole 11, improve the tightness and stability of the connection between the valve head needle 23 and the pin hole 11, avoid the poor connection between the two due to metal surface oxidation, and extend the service life of the connecting component 2.

[0050] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a circuit board 25 is also included. The circuit board 25 is arranged between the valve head needle 23 and the connecting cable 22 and is arranged in the storage cavity. The valve head needle 23 is electrically connected to the input end of the circuit board 25, and the output end of the circuit board 25 is electrically connected to the connecting cable 22.

[0051] The circuit board 25 shown in this embodiment plays a conversion function, converting the electrical signal transmitted by the C-type valve core 1 into an electrical signal compatible with the external device, and then connecting with the external device through the connecting cable 22. Figure 3 and Figure 4The positional relationship between the circuit board 25 and the valve head needle 23 is shown. The valve head needle 23 is arranged at the bottom of the circuit board 25 and is electrically connected to the input end of the circuit board 25 for conducting electrical signals. The output end of the circuit board 25 is electrically connected to the connecting cable 22. The specific connection method can be welding, crimping, clamping, etc., so that the converted electrical signal can be transmitted to the connecting cable 22, and the connecting cable 22 then conducts it to the cable connector 3.

[0052] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the valve head needle 23 is circumferentially arranged along the central axis of the C-type valve core 1 and is adapted to the needle hole 11 on the C-type valve core 1. Figure 4 The figure shows the positional relationship between the C-type valve core 1 and the valve head needle 23. A needle hole 11 is arranged on the circumference of the C-type valve core 1. The number of the valve head needles 23 and the needle holes 11 corresponds one to one, and the positions of the needles of the valve head needle 23 and the needle holes 11 match each other. Preferably, two needles are arranged in parallel at the end of the valve head needle 23, and there is a gap between the needles. The needle body width of the valve head needle 23 is slightly larger than the aperture of the needle hole 11. When the valve head needle 23 is pressed into the pin hole 11, When inserted into the pin hole 11, the needle body of the valve head needle 23 produces elastic deformation, so that the gap between the two needles is reduced so as to enter the pin hole 11, and the needle body of the valve head needle 23 can provide elastic force to the needles during the process of restoring deformation so that the two needles are both against the side walls of the pin hole 11, thereby expanding the contact area between the valve head needle 23 and the inner wall of the pin hole 11, which facilitates signal transmission and can also prevent the valve head needle 23 from loosening from the pin hole 11, thereby extending the service life of the connecting component 2.

[0053] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the top surface of the housing 21 is further provided with an identification card slot 211, and the C-type valve connector further includes an identification card 4, which is inserted into the identification card slot 211, and the identification card 4 is detachably connected to the identification card slot 211. The identification card 4 shown in this embodiment can be made of transparent materials such as high-transparency resin and PVC, or can be made of materials with fluorescent properties to improve identification resolution. Identification information can be written on the identification card 4 by scratching or the like. This method avoids the problem of discoloration and blurred identification information of the identification card 4 after long-term use, and is convenient for long-term storage.

[0054] Figure 5The connection relationship between the identification card slot 211 and the identification card 4 is shown. Preferably, a flange 41 is provided at the bottom of the identification card 4. When the identification card 4 is pressed into the identification card slot 211, the flange 41 is elastically deformed and abuts against the side wall of the slot body of the identification card slot 211, thereby fixing the identification card 4 in the identification card slot 211. The identification card slot 211 shown in this embodiment is detachably connected to the identification card 4, which is convenient for replacing a damaged identification card 4 or an identification card 4 that does not match the use function of the current C-type valve core 1, thereby increasing the aesthetics.

[0055] See also Figure 5 In some embodiments, the housing 21 is provided with a notch 212 on the side wall where the end of the identification card slot 211 is located, and the width of the notch 212 is smaller than the width of the identification card slot 211. Figure 5 As shown, the user can insert the slender rod into the notch 212 to pry the identification card 4 so that the identification card 4 is disengaged from the identification card slot 211 for easy removal.

[0056] In some embodiments, the cable connector 3 is an M8 cable connector 3 or an M12 cable connector 3 .

[0057] In some embodiments, a rubber sleeve is further included, which is disposed at the connection between the connecting cable 22 and the cable connector 3. The rubber sleeve shown in this embodiment is made of an insulating material, and can also be made of a material with heat shrinkability. The rubber sleeve is disposed at the connection between the connecting cable 22 and the cable connector 3 to improve the sealing and insulation of the connection between the two and extend the service life of the connecting component 2.

[0058] In some preferred embodiments, a mounting hole 213 is further provided on the top of the shell 21, and the mounting hole 213 is set at a position corresponding to the connection hole position on the C-type valve core 1. Preferably, an avoidance hole is also provided on the circuit board 25 at the mounting hole 213, so that the shell 21 can be fastened to the C-type valve core 1 through the fastener 24, thereby further improving the connection stability between the connecting component 2 and the C-type valve core 1.

[0059] In the above technical solution, the C-type valve core 1 is sleeved in the housing 21, and the housing 21 and the connecting cable 22 are non-detachably connected, and a cable connector 3 is also provided at the other end of the connecting cable 22. This technical solution treats the connecting component 2 as a whole, which can be directly connected to the C-type valve core 1, without the need to install the connecting cable 22 separately on the housing 21. This method saves the connection step of the connecting cable 22 and the housing 21, and also maintains the connection sealing of the entire connecting component 2. When replacing, the entire connecting component 2 can be directly replaced, avoiding the problem of poor sealing at the connection between the connecting cable 22 and the housing 21 and high installation requirements; at the same time, a cable connector 3 is connected to the other end of the connecting cable 22, and the cable connector 3 can be directly connected to an external device, without the need to add accessories such as adapters and perform secondary installation of the connecting cable 22, further improving the installation efficiency of the entire connector.
