Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of quick connectors, in particular to a floating module. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the liquid cooling industry, rapid installation and removal of pipes in liquid cooling systems has become a crucial consideration. Quick connectors, which enable tool-free connection and disconnection of pipes, are primarily used in liquid cooling systems for supercomputers, 5G base stations, radar equipment, wind turbine converter cabinets, and high-performance servers, providing a convenient and efficient means of distributing liquids.
[0003] In order to ensure the normal connection of various quick connectors and pipelines, adapters of the same specifications are required to be used together.
[0004] However, in actual use, quick-connect plugs and sockets like UQD and UQDB can experience connection issues due to misalignment. Frequent connection issues can also lead to more frequent maintenance and repairs, increasing operating costs and downtime, and impacting overall efficiency. These issues can also cause cooling system leaks, reduce efficiency, and even cause equipment damage or safety incidents.
[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a device that can achieve fine-tuning and translation of the connecting pipeline to achieve the connection between the pipeline and the quick connector. Utility Model Content
[0006] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a floating module, which realizes 360° fine-tuning and translation of the floating module body and the floating module body through internal and external friction rings and springs, solving the problem that quick plugs such as UQD and UQDB cannot be connected with quick sockets due to misalignment.
[0007] Technical solution: In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a floating module, including a floating joint body, a floating joint shell and a floating joint base. The floating joint shell is arranged on the floating joint body and can float between the two. A spring is provided between the floating joint body and the floating joint shell. The floating joint base is arranged at one end of the floating joint body. The floating joint base is threadedly connected to the floating joint body.
[0008] Furthermore, both contact surfaces of the spring with the floating joint body and the floating joint housing are provided with inner retaining rings. The inner retaining rings have good buffering capacity, can absorb and disperse the energy of external impact, and reduce the risk of damage to the floating joint body and the floating joint housing.
[0009] Furthermore, an inner friction ring is provided at the contact point between the floating joint body and the inner retaining ring. The inner friction ring has a simple structure and provides support for fine-tuning and translation of the floating joint body.
[0010] Furthermore, an outer retaining ring is provided between the floating joint housing and the floating joint base, which limits the position of the floating joint housing and has a certain buffering capacity, thereby protecting the floating joint housing and the floating joint base.
[0011] Furthermore, an outer friction ring is provided on the floating joint housing at the contact point with the outer retaining ring. The outer friction ring has a simple structure and provides support for fine-tuning and translation of the floating joint body.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner friction ring cooperates with the outer friction ring to ensure that the floating joint body can float. The inner friction ring and the outer friction ring provide friction to ensure that the floating joint body can be fine-tuned and translated 360 degrees.
[0013] Furthermore, two sealing rings are provided at the connection between the floating joint base and the floating joint body, which provide sealing guarantee for the connection between the floating joint base and the floating joint body.
[0014] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The utility model provides a floating module, which ensures the stability and buffering capacity of the mechanism by setting a number of retaining rings;
[0016] 2. The utility model provides a floating module, which is provided with an inner friction ring and an outer friction ring to ensure that the floating joint body can rotate 360 degrees by providing friction, and at the same time achieves its fine-tuning translation through a spring.
