[0040] refer to Figures 1-6 The present application provides a plug-in sealing structure, which includes a male needle assembly 1, a female needle assembly 2 and a sealing assembly 3. The female needle assembly 2 has a plug-in hole 21. When plugging in, the male needle assembly 1 is partially inserted into the plug-in hole 21. The inner wall of the female needle assembly 2 has a receiving groove 22. The receiving groove 22 is circumferentially arranged around the female needle assembly 2; the sealing assembly 3 is arranged inside the plug-in hole 21. The sealing assembly 3 includes a sealing ring 31 and an elastic assembly 32. The sealing ring 31 is arranged in the receiving groove 22. The elastic assembly 32 is elastic and can be stretched and retracted along the axial direction of the plug-in hole 21. The elastic assembly 32 is used to block or disengage from the sealing ring 31, thereby achieving sealing of the air outlet end of the female needle assembly 2.

[0041] The present application provides a plug-in sealing structure, in which the sealing ring 31 is built into the accommodating groove 22 of the female needle assembly 2, and the elastic component 32 is elastic and can be extended and retracted along the axial direction of the plug-in hole 21. When the male needle assembly 1 and the female needle assembly 2 are relatively inserted, the male needle assembly 1 pushes the elastic component 32 to move in the direction away from the sealing ring 31, thereby realizing the separation of the elastic component 32 and the sealing ring 31, and the high-pressure gas enters the male needle assembly 1 through the plug-in hole 21. When the male needle assembly 1 and the female needle assembly 2 are separated by plugging and unplugging, the elastic component 32 moves toward the direction close to the sealing ring 31 under the action of the elastic force and the impact of the high-pressure gas until the elastic component 32 blocks the sealing ring 31 and realizes the sealing of the female needle assembly 2 by the sealing component 3 under the high-pressure gas. In the present application, the sealing ring 31 is built into the interior of the female needle assembly 2. When the male needle assembly 1 and the female needle assembly 2 are plugged in and out under high-pressure gas, the elastic assembly 32 gradually blocks the sealing ring 31 while the male needle assembly 1 is pulled out, thereby avoiding the risk of the sealing ring 31 being blown out under the impact of high-pressure gas and ensuring the sealing effect of the female needle assembly 2.

[0042] Specifically, the air outlet is located at the top of the plug hole 21, and the sealing component 3 is arranged close to the air outlet to achieve sealing of the air outlet.

[0043] refer to Figures 1-6The female needle assembly 2 includes a female end assembly and a connector 23. The female end assembly includes a female end pin 24 and a first quick connector 25. The plug hole 21 includes a first through hole 26 and a second through hole 27 that are connected to each other. The connector 23 is provided with a first through hole 26. The female end pin 24 is provided with a second through hole 27 along the axial direction. The second through hole 27 includes a first hole section 271 and a second hole section 272 from top to bottom, and the diameter of the first hole section 271 is larger than the diameter of the second hole section 272. The connector 2 3 is arranged at the top end of the female end pin 24 and partially extends into the first hole section 271. The bottom wall of the connector 23, the side walls of the first hole section 271 and the bottom wall of the first hole section 271 together form the accommodating groove 22. The elastic component 32 is arranged in the second hole section 272. The first quick connector 25 is arranged at the bottom end of the female end pin 24 and partially extends into the second hole section 272. A third through hole 28 is defined in the interior of the first quick connector 25 and is in communication with the second hole section 272.

[0044] Specifically, the diameter of the accommodating groove 22 is smaller than the sum of the outer diameters of the sealing ring 31 and the outer diameters of the sealing member 321, so that the sealing member 321 cooperates with the sealing ring 31 to seal the female needle assembly 2. The minimum diameter of the second hole section 272 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the sealing member 321. This ensures that when the sealing member 321 is pushed open by the male needle assembly 1, a flow channel for high-pressure gas is formed, and the sealing member 321 does not hinder the flow of high-pressure gas.

[0045] The outer diameter of the sealing ring 31 and the side wall of the accommodating groove 22 are in interference fit, and the outer side of the sealing ring 31 and the bottom of the accommodating groove 22 are in interference fit, which further improves the sealing effect.

[0046] The female pin assembly 2 further includes a gasket 29 , which is disposed between the female pin 24 and the first quick connector 25 . The gasket 29 is provided to support the elastic assembly 32 .

[0047] Specifically, the assembly process of the female pin assembly 2 is as follows: the sealing ring 31 and the connector 23 are sequentially installed into the female end pin 24. At this time, the interior of the connector 23 and the female end pin 24 forms a receiving groove 22, and then the sealing member 321, the elastic member 322, and the gasket 29 are sequentially installed into the female end pin 24. Finally, the first quick connector 25 is screwed in to complete the assembly of the female pin assembly 2.

[0048] refer to Figures 1-4The elastic component 32 includes a sealing member 321 and an elastic member 322. The sealing member 321 is arranged on the elastic member 322. The end of the elastic member 322 away from the sealing member 321 abuts against the top of the first quick connector 25 extending into the female end pin 24. When the male pin assembly 1 is pulled out relative to the female pin assembly 2 and the female pin assembly 2 is in the initial state, the end of the sealing member 321 away from the elastic member 322 abuts against the sealing ring 31, and the sealing member 321 partially extends into the inner ring of the sealing ring 31 and abuts against the inner ring side wall of the sealing ring 31, thereby blocking the sealing ring 31 to seal the air outlet end of the female pin assembly 2.

[0049] Specifically, the outer diameter of the sealing member 321 gradually increases from the end away from the elastic member 322 to the end close to the elastic member 322 , and the outer diameter of the end of the sealing member 321 close to the male needle assembly 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sealing ring 31 .

[0050] Furthermore, the cross-sectional dimension of the sealing member 321 is circular, and the sealing member 321 may be spherical or conical.

[0051] refer to Figure 2 The male needle assembly 1 includes a male end pin 11 and a second quick connector 12. A circulation pipeline 13 is opened inside the male end pin 11. The second quick connector 12 is partially arranged in the circulation pipeline 13. The second quick connector 12 and the circulation pipeline 13 are connected.

[0052] Specifically, the male end pin 11 includes a male needle seat 14 and a male needle head 15. The diameter of the male needle head 15 is smaller than the diameter of the male needle seat 14. The circulation pipeline 13 passes through the male needle seat 14 and the male needle head 15. The second quick connector 12 is arranged at the end of the male needle seat 14 away from the male needle head 15. The male needle head 15 matches the third through hole 28. The male needle head 15 is used to be inserted into the plug hole 21.

[0053] An air inlet 16 is further formed on the side wall of the male needle 15 , and the air inlet 16 is communicated with the flow pipe 13 .

[0054] Specifically, the assembly process of the male pin assembly 1 is as follows: screw the male end pin 11 into the second quick-connect connector 12 to complete the assembly of the male pin assembly 1.

[0055] When the male needle assembly 1 and the female needle assembly 2 are plugged in, the male needle head 15 is inserted into the plug-in hole 21 and pushes open the seal 321, so that the seal 321 moves away from the male needle head 15. At the same time, the compression elastic member 322 moves downward. When the male end pin 11 and the female end pin 24 are plugged in to the stop surface, the end of the first quick connector 25 away from the female end pin 24 is used to connect the high-pressure gas. The high-pressure gas enters the second hole section 272 through the first quick connector 25, and then enters the circulation pipeline 13 of the male needle assembly 1 through the air inlet 16 along the four sides of the seal 321.

[0056] When the male needle assembly 1 is pulled out, the seal 321 inside the female end pin 24 moves outward synchronously with the male needle assembly 1 under the action of the internal gas pushing outward and the elastic force of the compressed elastic member 322 being released. When the male needle assembly 1 and the female needle assembly 2 are separated, the air outlet end of the female needle assembly 2 is in a sealed state. The seal 321, under the action of the high-pressure gas and the elastic member 322, fits tightly against the sealing ring 31, causing the sealing ring 31 to deform and seal. At the same time, the sealing ring 31 is subjected to the oblique upward force F generated by the seal 321, and the sealing ring 31 is pressed into the accommodating groove 22. Therefore, the greater the air pressure inside the female needle assembly 2, the more reliable the seal, and the less likely the sealing ring 31 is to be blown out. Therefore, the product of the present application has a good sealing effect, is safe and reliable, and is durable and long-lasting, and has a simple structure and a short assembly time. Under high-pressure gas, it can be repeatedly plugged and unplugged, and the effort required for plugging and unplugging is small, making it easy to operate.

[0057] Furthermore, when the male needle assembly 1 and the female needle assembly 2 are in the plugged-in state, the outer diameter of the male needle head 15 and the inner diameter of the sealing ring 31 are interference fit, further ensuring the sealing effect.

[0058] refer to Figures 1-6 In embodiment 1, the sealing member 321 is a steel ball and the elastic member 322 is a double-cone spring. By adopting the steel ball seal, the high-pressure gas flow between the male needle assembly 1 and the female needle assembly 2 can be made smoother. The connector 23 and the female end are plug-in threaded connection, and a groove is formed at the bottom end of the male needle head 15 to form an air inlet 16.

[0059] refer to Figure 10-11 In the second embodiment, different from the first embodiment, the connector 23 is completely built into the first through hole 26, and then the mouth of the first through hole 26 is subjected to shrinkage deformation treatment to achieve a fixed connection between the connector 23 and the female end pin 24.

[0060] refer to Figure 12-13 In the third embodiment, different from the first embodiment, the connector 23 includes an embedded connector 231 and a C-ring 232 . The C-ring 232 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the embedded connector 231 . The embedded connector 231 is connected to the female end pin 24 through the C-ring 232 .

[0061] refer to Figure 7-Figure 9 In the fourth embodiment, different from the first embodiment, the sealing member 321 is a conical plug. By adopting the conical plug for sealing, the male needle assembly 1 and the female needle assembly 2 can be guided more stably when being inserted into each other.

[0062] refer to Figure 14 In the fifth embodiment, different from the first embodiment, an air inlet 16 is formed by punching a hole in the side wall of the bottom end of the male needle head 15. When the male needle assembly 1 accidentally falls on the floor, the mouth of the male needle assembly 1 is not easily deformed.

[0063] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
