Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of connectors, and particularly relates to a connector capable of 360° rotation. Background Technique
[0002] In the existing connector technology, although there are already various types of connector designs to meet different connection requirements, most traditional connectors have the following significant deficiencies when achieving 360-degree rotation:
[0003] Many existing connectors are restricted during rotation and cannot achieve a full 360-degree rotation. These connectors may be designed to rotate only within a limited angle range, or have excessive friction during rotation, resulting in unsmooth rotation. Such design limitations make it difficult for users to install or disassemble, especially in cases where the space is narrow or the angle is inconvenient, and adjusting the direction becomes extremely cumbersome.
[0004] In the design of traditional connectors, friction and jamming are common problems. This usually stems from the insufficient smooth contact between the internal components of the connector or the inefficient rolling components, resulting in resistance during rotation. Friction and jamming not only increase the operation difficulty but also may cause increased wear of the connector, thereby shortening its service life.
[0005] While traditional connectors ensure the freedom of rotation, they often neglect the sealing performance. The connector may have problems with poor sealing during rotation, resulting in medium leakage and affecting the normal operation of the system. This problem of insufficient sealing performance is particularly serious in the case of liquid or gas transmission, which may lead to a decrease in system efficiency or safety hazards.
[0006] In view of this, overcoming the above-mentioned defects of the existing technology is an urgent problem to be solved in this technical field. Content of the Utility Model

[0009] Further, a fixing screw hole is formed in the side wall of the rotating joint, and the fixing screw hole communicates with the second ball chute. A fixing screw is connected in the fixing screw hole, and the end of the fixing screw abuts and fixes against the rotating ball.
[0010] Further, a plurality of annular sealing grooves are recessed in the outer side wall of the connection plug, and sealing rings are respectively sleeved in the plurality of sealing grooves, and the plurality of sealing rings are respectively in sealing abutment with the connection through groove.
[0011] Further, a first pipe connection portion is provided at the rear edge of the joint body, and a second pipe connection portion is provided at the front edge of the rotating joint.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0019] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a rotatable joint that can rotate 360° includes a joint body 10 and a rotating joint 20. Among them, a connecting through groove 21 is provided in the middle of the rotating joint 20, and a connecting plug 11 is provided at one end of the joint body 10 facing the rotating joint 20. The connecting plug 11 is inserted into the connecting through groove 21 for connection, so that the rotating joint 20 and the joint body 10 can be rotatably connected, enabling the user to adjust according to the appropriate direction when installing, disassembling, or replacing the rotating joint, reducing the inconvenience for the user.
[0020] In specific implementation, a circular first ball slide groove 111 is recessed on the outer side wall of the connecting plug 11, and a circular second ball slide groove 211 is recessed on the inner side wall of the connecting through groove 21. The first ball slide groove 111 corresponds to the second ball slide groove 211, and a number of rotating balls 30 are provided between the first ball slide groove 111 and the second ball slide groove 211. The number of rotating balls 30 is arranged in a circular shape. Through the number of rotating balls 30, the rotating joint 20 and the joint body 10 can be rotatably connected. When the user rotates the rotating joint 20, the number of rotating balls 30 rolls along the first ball slide groove 111 and the second ball slide groove 211. This rolling enables the rotating joint 20 to perform a smooth 360-degree rotation relative to the connecting plug 11. Since the rotating balls 30 reduce the friction during the rolling process, the rotating joint can rotate smoothly in all directions. The circular arrangement of the balls ensures the balance and stability of the rotation, thus avoiding the situation of jamming or uneven wear.
[0021] In specific implementation, a fixing screw hole 22 is provided on the side wall of the rotating joint 20. The fixing screw hole 22 communicates with the second ball slide groove 211. A fixing screw 40 is connected in the fixing screw hole 22, and the end of the fixing screw 40 abuts and fixes against the rotating ball 30, so that the rotating joint 20 and the joint body 10 are fixedly connected. When in use, when the user loosens the fixing screw 40, the pressing force between the end of the fixing screw 40 and the rotating ball 30 decreases or disappears. In this way, the rotating ball 30 is no longer fixed, allowing the rotating joint 20 to rotate freely. The user can adjust the direction of the rotating joint 20 in this state to achieve a 360-degree rotation adjustment. When the fixing screw 40 is tightened, its end will press on the rotating ball 30. Through this pressing connection, the rotating ball 30 is fixed in the ball slide groove, so that the rotating joint 20 and the joint body 10 are fixed and immovable. At this time, the rotating joint 20 cannot rotate relative to the joint body 10. The structure is simple and convenient for the user to adjust.
[0022] The outer sidewall of the connection plug 11 is recessed with a plurality of annular sealing grooves 112. Sealing rings 50 are respectively sleeved in the plurality of sealing grooves 112, and the plurality of sealing rings 50 are respectively in sealing contact with the connection through groove 21, so that the sealing performance between the rotary joint 20 and the joint body 10 is better.
[0023] The rear edge of the joint body 10 is provided with a first pipe connection portion 12, and the front edge of the rotary joint 20 is provided with a second pipe connection portion 23. During use, the first pipe connection portion 12 and the second pipe connection portion 23 are respectively used for docking with the joints of the pipes. This connection method ensures the stability and sealing performance of the pipe system.
[0024] In summary, a connection through groove 21 is formed in the middle of the rotary joint 20, one end of the joint body 10 is provided with a connection plug 11, the connection plug 11 is inserted into the connection through groove 21 for connection. An annular first ball slide groove 111 is recessed on the outer sidewall of the connection plug 11, and an annular second ball slide groove 211 is recessed on the inner sidewall of the connection through groove 21. A plurality of rotating balls 30 are arranged between the first ball slide groove 111 and the second ball slide groove 211, so that the rotary joint 20 and the joint body 10 can be rotatably connected. The 360° rotatable joint of the present utility model enables the user to adjust according to a suitable direction when installing, disassembling or replacing the rotary joint, reducing the inconvenience of the user. The structure is simple and convenient for the user to adjust.
