Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipe connection devices, in particular to a connection device for conveniently locking a tubular object. Background Art
[0002] Tubular objects are widely used in light industrial products, such as telescopic mop rods, selfie sticks, T-shaped pipe fittings for furniture, etc. There are many ways to connect these tubular objects, such as external locking connectors that use eccentric shaft principles or bolts for locking, components that are simply locked by screws, components that are locked by punching and limiting, and components that are locked by rotation. The above types are widely used, but each has different defects:
[0003] External locking type: Using the eccentric shaft principle, the handle is turned to compress the object to be clamped inside to achieve the locking function. The disadvantage is that the locking device requires external rotation space and the surface is irregularly raised.
[0004] External locking type: The locking function is achieved by turning the screw to compress the object to be clamped inside. The disadvantage is that the screw handle needs to be rotated repeatedly when locking and loosening, the locking device requires external rotation space, and the surface is irregularly raised.
[0005] Screw locking type: The advantage is that it is sufficiently tight and has a good overall appearance. The disadvantage is that it requires the use of external tools and needs to be matched with special profiles.
[0006] Punching limit locking type: mostly used for telescopic rods. The advantage is that it does not require any external components. The disadvantage is that the telescopic position is fixed and the lateral force on the rod is weakened after punching.
[0007] Rotational locking type: The principle is to rotate the external fastener to compress the internal tube body to deform to achieve the locking function. The inner wall of the external fastener is conical. The disadvantage of this type of product is that the tightness is affected by the rotational force. If the force is small, it will not be fixed tightly, and if the force is too large, it will be difficult to loosen. Utility Model Content
[0008] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the utility model provides a connecting device for conveniently locking a tubular object.
[0009] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the utility model is: a connecting device for conveniently locking tubular objects, including a tube body tightening mechanism and a ring sleeve, the ring sleeve is arranged outside the tube body tightening mechanism and the two are clearance-matched, the outer side surface of the tube body tightening mechanism is provided with a plurality of steel ball grooves, steel balls are rotatably arranged inside the steel ball grooves, the inner side wall of the ring sleeve is provided with a track groove corresponding to the position of the steel ball, the track groove is conical and the diameter gradually decreases from top to bottom, and a loose switch is provided at the upper end of the ring sleeve.
[0010] Furthermore, the tube tightening mechanism comprises a sleeve, and the sleeve is plugged into the tubular object to be locked.
[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of compression deformation slits are provided at the upper end of the sleeve.
[0012] Furthermore, a loosening limit column is fixedly provided on the inner side wall of the ring sleeve, and the loosening limit column is matched and clamped with one of the compression deformation seams.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: the technical principle adopted by the present invention is to use the force of pushing the locking device to compress the internal structure to achieve the locking function. The steel ball is fixed inside. When the ring sleeve is pushed, the conical track groove on the inner wall of the device compresses the steel ball to make a directional movement. The higher the pressure on the steel ball, the greater the pressure on the steel ball, so that the inner wall of the fixed steel ball is deformed and tightened inward. When the set pressure value is reached, the loosening switch on the device is automatically buckled, and the entire locking action is completed. When loosening, press the loosening switch, the ring sleeve automatically slides down, and the loosening limit column inside the ring sleeve stops sliding when it reaches the limited position. The present invention can solve the defects of existing products. There is no need for rotating space. The locking function can be achieved by pushing the ring sleeve, and the locking force is balanced and is not affected by human factors. There is no special-shaped protrusion on the outside. It can be applied to many types of products in the field of consumer-grade industrial products, which is convenient for appearance design and can be more beautiful and convenient. Locking and loosening are very easy, and the locking and loosening actions can be completed within one second. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
