[0017] In order to provide a further understanding of the purpose, structure, features, and functions of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 An internal thread connector of one embodiment of the utility model comprises a connecting tube 100 and a cap 200, wherein the cap 200 comprises a cover body 210 and an inner tube 220, wherein the inner tube 220 comprises a first end 221 and a second end 222, wherein the first end 221 of the inner tube is concentrically fixed to the inner side surface of the cover body 210, wherein the cover body 210 is provided with a circular hole 211, wherein the circular hole 211 has the same inner diameter as the inner tube 220, and the cover body 210 is further provided with a sealing ring 300, wherein the sealing ring 300 is sleeved on the outer side of the inner tube 220; the end of the connecting tube 100 abuts against the sealing ring 300, and the inner wall of the inner tube 220 is provided with a thread. The cap 200 is detachably fixed to the two ends of the connecting tube 100 by a plug-in connection. The detachable structure of the utility model is conducive to the replacement of some components of the internal thread connector when they are damaged, and it is not necessary to dismantle the entire component, thereby avoiding waste of resources. Both ends of the connecting tube 100 are connected to the caps 200 through a detachable structure. Unless the caps 200 on both sides or the components connected to the caps are damaged at the same time, it is necessary to remove the threaded connection of the components on both sides. In other damage situations, only one side of the threaded structure needs to be removed for replacement, which is faster to disassemble and replace, reducing time waste.

[0019] When in use, first remove the caps 200 at both ends of the connecting tube 100, and then the caps 200 can be connected to the components to be fixed through the threads of the inner tube at the same time or separately. After the components are fixed, the inner tube 220 is inserted and installed from the end of the connecting tube 100, and the caps 200 are directly fixed to the two ends of the connecting tube 100 through the plug-in connection. The installation operation is simple and convenient, ensuring that the connector of the utility model does not need to be installed at both ends in sequence, and different workers can perform the threaded installation of the components at both ends at the same time. The plug-in connection is simple and convenient, saving installation time. At the same time, the caps 200 at both ends can be removed and connected to the components through threads, which is not limited by the size of the space in the installation area, or the weight and size of the components. It is easy to install and has a wide range of applications.

[0020] like Figure 2An elastic clamping bundle 230 is concentrically fixed on the side wall of the cover opening of the cover body 210, and a clamping block 231 is fixed on the inner side of the end of the elastic clamping bundle 230 away from the cover body. At least three elastic clamping bundles are provided, and an annular ridge 110 arranged around the circumference of the connecting pipe is respectively provided near the two ends of the connecting pipe 100. The side of the clamping block 231 facing the cover body 210 conflicts with the side of the annular ridge 110 away from the end, and the cap 200 clamps the annular ridge 110 through the clamping block 231. The diameter of the circle formed by the inner side of the clamping block 231 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pipe 100, and smaller than the outer diameter of the annular ridge 110. This ensures that the cover body 210 can be fixed on the outer side of the connecting pipe 100 and can clamp the annular ridge 110. When in use, the cap is fixed on the end of the connecting tube 100. When the block 231 contacts the annular ridge 110, the elastic fixing bundle 230 will be deformed outward. When the block 231 continues to move toward the middle of the connecting tube 100, when the top of the annular ridge 110 no longer contacts the block 231, the elastic fixing bundle 230 restores its deformation, thereby being fixed to the end of the connecting tube 100 to prevent the cap 200 from falling off. The connection is simple and convenient through the snap-on fixing method.

[0021] The side surface of the end of the annular ridge 110 facing the connecting pipe 100 is a slope surface. When the clamping block 231 contacts the annular ridge 110, the elastic clamping bundle 230 can be deformed step by step, so that the clamping block 231 on the cover body 210 can easily clamp the annular ridge 110, which is more convenient for installation and practical use.

[0022] The second end 222 of the inner tube 220 is provided with a notch 223, and the notch 223 is semicircular or semi-oblong, and the notch 223 is connected to the end of the inner tube 220 by a rounded corner or a chamfered corner. The notch 223 provides deformation compensation for thermal expansion and contraction for the inner tube 220, allowing the inner tube 220 to deform more flexibly during thermal expansion or contraction, reducing the impact of thermal stress on the structure, and preventing the inner tube 220 from cracking and damage. At the same time, the structural design of the notch ensures that the corners of the notch 223 are relatively rounded, avoiding cracking of the notch 223 at the corners, which affects the service life of the inner tube 220. At the same time, the rounded or chamfered design can improve the strength, avoid cracks, and extend the service life. It also helps to reduce the risk of injury when touching parts and facilitates the installation of the cap.

[0023] The middle part of the connecting pipe 100 is a bellows 120. The connecting pipe 100 of the utility model is ensured to have high pressure resistance. The bellows 120 is more likely to absorb vibration and deformation due to its flexibility and wave shape, thereby improving its resistance to fatigue cycles. The wave-shaped structure is more flexible and can adapt to thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes. It is ensured that the device can be used in high temperature environments or when the temperature changes greatly. In addition, the design of the bellows 120 reduces the noise and vibration generated when the fluid flows in the pipeline.

[0024] The elastic clamping bundle 230 is an arc-shaped plate, and the elastic clamping bundle 230 is equidistantly arranged around the circumference of the cover body 210. The uniform distribution ensures that the structure of the cap 200 is beautiful, and the elastic clamping bundle 230 can be evenly stressed. At the same time, the design of the arc-shaped plate has the functions of guiding and positioning, which facilitates the connection between the connecting pipe 100 and the cap 200. The arc-shaped plate is also easy to recover deformation, ensuring the buckle connection between the cap and the connecting pipe.

[0025] The cap 200 is made of an integrated casting. The connection strength of each component of the cap 200 is high, which avoids the fracture of the connection, increases the service life of the cap 200, and prolongs the life of the utility model.

[0026] The side surface of the block 231 facing the inside is an arc surface. The arc surface reduces the area of ​​the block contacting the upper surface of the annular ridge during installation, thereby reducing resistance and facilitating installation, while having better pressure resistance, reducing stress concentration, and improving the life and durability of the block 231.

[0027] The present invention has been described by the above-mentioned relevant embodiments, however, the above-mentioned embodiments are only examples for implementing the present invention. It must be pointed out that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. On the contrary, any changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
