[0002] Quick connectors include hydraulic quick connectors and various fluid quick connectors. It is a connection device for quickly connecting or disconnecting pipelines to achieve quick disassembly and assembly. Since the quick connector has a two-way check valve function and there is no leakage when the pipeline is disconnected, it is widely used in the fields of petroleum, metallurgy, hydropower, construction machinery, ships, electromechanical equipment, etc. The connection structure of the quick connector is the most important part, and its connection method and structure directly determine the convenience, reliability and product quality of the quick connector. The quick connector consists of a female connector and a male connector. The existing structure inserts to open the flow channel, but in actual scenarios, when it is necessary to be able to independently open the flow channel, there are certain problems, which may affect the use effect of the quick connector, and there is a lack of a safety structure to avoid incorrect operations. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problem of the lack of a safety structure, the utility model provides a safety lock structure for a plug-in quick connector.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0005] The safety lock structure for a plug-in quick connector includes a housing, a switch spring, a steel ball b and a switch pin. A switch is provided on the housing, and an active groove a is horizontally provided on the switch. The switch spring and the switch pin are provided in the active groove a. The switch spring is inserted into the card slot of the switch pin. A limit ring a is provided in the middle of the switch pin, and a through hole a is provided below the switch pin. The steel ball b is provided in the through hole a, and the steel ball b contacts the active groove. Grooves are provided at both ends of the active groove.

[0006] The switch pin is riveted in the active groove a.

[0007] A limit block is provided on the side wall of the housing, and the limit block contacts the switch.

[0008] Using the technical solution of the utility model, the structure is novel, the design is ingenious and simple. Usually, the steel ball b is in the groove. Only by squeezing the switch pin can the switch be rotated to connect the valve core, so there is a safety measure before operation and incorrect operation will not occur, and the operation is very convenient.

[0015] As Figure 1 、 6 、7, and 8 show a safety lock structure for a plug-in quick connector, including a housing 1, a switch spring 12, a steel ball b 23, and a switch pin 4. A switch 3 is provided on the housing 1. An activity groove a is provided horizontally on the switch 3. The switch spring 12 and the switch pin 4 are provided in the activity groove a. The switch spring 12 is inserted into a card slot of the switch pin 4. A limiting ring a is provided in the middle of the switch pin 4. A through hole a is provided below the switch pin 4. The steel ball b 23 is provided in the through hole a. The steel ball b 23 contacts the activity groove. Grooves are provided at both ends of the activity groove.

[0016] The switch pin 4 is riveted in the activity groove a.

[0017] A limiting block is provided on the side wall of the housing 1, and the limiting block contacts the switch 3.

[0018] In use, the plug-in quick connector includes a unit female connector. The number of the unit female connectors is two. The unit female connector includes a housing 1 and a connector body 2. The front outer wall of the connector body 2 is sleeved with the housing 1. The side wall of the housing 1 is provided with an installation opening. A switch 3 is arranged in the installation opening. The lower part of the switch 3 is inserted into the installation opening and is clamped with a valve core 6. A fixing bolt 7 is inserted into the switch 3 and the valve core 6 for fixation. A safety lock structure and a misoperation structure are arranged on the switch 3 and the housing 1. A buckle is arranged on the front end surface of the housing 1. A recessed groove a and a recessed groove b are arranged on the front outer wall of the connector body 2. A connector body O-ring a is arranged in the recessed groove a, and a connector body O-ring b19 is arranged in the recessed groove b. A connecting steel pin 8 is arranged between the housing 1 and the connector body 2. A recessed groove c is arranged on the lower outer wall of the switch 3. A switch O-ring 20 is arranged in the recessed groove c. The switch O-ring 20 is in contact with the installation opening. A valve core upper gasket 17 is arranged on the outer wall at the connection of the switch 3 and the valve core 6. A valve core sealing ring 14 is arranged between the outer wall of the valve core 6 and the inner wall of the housing 1. A positioning pin 5 is arranged at the center of the bottom end of the valve core 6. The positioning pin 5 is sleeved on a valve core lower gasket 18. The positioning pin 5 is inserted into the inner wall of the housing 1. The bottom of the positioning pin 5 is recessed in the middle, and a positioning pin spring 13 is arranged at the recessed part. The positioning pin spring 13 is arranged in a fixing groove. The rod body of the fixing bolt 7 is recessed in the upper part, and a fixing bolt O-ring 21 is arranged at the recessed part.
