Technical field
[0001] The utility model relates to a fluid connector, in particular to a fluid connector suitable for fluid transmission. [Background Technology]
[0002] The fluid connector connects or disconnects with the complementary connector to connect or disconnect the fluid flow in the fluid channel. An existing fluid connector CN202321977845.7 includes a housing 1 whose front end can be axially docked with the housing of the adapter connector. The front end face of the housing 1 is provided with a first blind hole 6 and a second blind hole 7 extending in the axial direction. The unlocking guide rod 8 is located in the first blind hole 6, and the locking guide rod 9 is located in the second blind hole 7. The unlocking guide rod 8 has a locking position and an unlocking position. When in the locking position, the front end of the unlocking guide rod 8 extends out of the first blind hole 6. The first blind hole 6 is provided in the first blind hole 6, and the valve stem 4 is kept in the closed position, preventing the valve stem 4 from rotating from the closed position to the open position. When the adapter connector is docked with the housing and in the unlocked position, the front end of the unlocking guide rod 8 retracts into the first blind hole 6, and the ball 5 can move toward the unlocking guide rod 8 and disengage the locking groove 17. The valve stem 4 and the ball 5 are unlocked, allowing the valve stem 4 to rotate from the closed position to the open position. The locking guide rod 9 has a first position in which the front end extends out of the second blind hole 7 and a second position in which it is retracted into the second blind hole 7. The locking guide rod 9 can move freely between the first position and the second position. The connector and the adapter connector are connected and locked by relative rotation of the housing. When the connector and the adapter connector are plugged into place, the locking guide rod 9 corresponds to the clearance groove 12 of the adapter housing, and the locking guide rod 9 can be maintained in the first position. Only when the locking guide rod 9 can be moved from the first position to the second position can the anti-rotation fit between the locking guide rod 9 and the clearance groove 12 be released, that is, the connector and the adapter connector can be separated.
[0003] The above structure has the following problems:
[0004] 1. When the connector and the adapter connector are plugged into each other but not rotated into place, the unlocking guide rod has moved to the unlocking position, and the ball can move toward the unlocking guide rod and disengage from the locking groove. The valve stem and the ball are unlocked, allowing the valve stem to rotate from the closed position to the open position. At this time, if the valve stem is manually rotated, fluid leakage is likely to occur because the connector and the adapter connector have not been rotated into place. In addition, rotating the valve stem at this time will cause the locking guide rod to hit the complementary connector, which is likely to damage the locking guide rod.
[0005] Second, the unlocking guide rod unlocks the valve stem. The rotation of the valve stem causes the locking guide rod to enter the clearance groove of the adapter housing to prevent the adapter housing from rotating when the valve body is opened. The valve stem is unlocked and the adapter housing is prevented from rotating by two structural components. There are many parts and the structure is complicated.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new fluid connector to overcome the above problems. [Utility Model Content]

At this time, the locking member is in the unlocked position. After the driving member rotates, the stopping portion stops the locking portion to prevent the locking member from moving. The locking member stops the complementary connector from rotating relative to the fluid connector along a first direction and in the opposite direction of the first direction.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. The locking member is received in the locking hole and moves between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the fluid connector and the complementary connector are docked, the complementary connector rotates relative to the fluid connector and pushes against the locking member, causing the locking member to move within the locking hole. When the locking member is in the unlocked position, the locking member is used to allow the valve core to rotate from the closed position to the open position. At this time, the valve core will not rotate from the closed position to the open position due to the locking member not being moved into place, thereby avoiding fluid leakage.
[0022] Second, when the locking member is in the unlocked position, the locking member can both allow the valve core to rotate from the closed position to the open position and prevent the complementary connector from rotating relative to the fluid connector.

[0062] In order to facilitate a better understanding of the purpose, structure, features and effects of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0063] like Figures 1 to 13 FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a fluid connector 100 suitable for fluid transmission and is configured to dock with a complementary connector 200 along a front-to-back direction L. The fluid connector 100 includes a housing 10, a valve core 11, a locking member 13, a drive member 12, a button 15, and an elastic member 16. The housing 10 defines a central axis X for docking with the complementary connector 200. When the fluid connector 100 is docked with the complementary connector 200, the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100 in a first direction M. Before the fluid connector 100 is separated from the complementary connector 200, the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100 in a direction opposite to the first direction M, defining the first direction M as a rotation relative to the central axis X. The complementary connector 200 includes a push portion 20 and two stop portions 21. The push portion 20 is inclined in a direction opposite to the first direction M, from closer to the central axis X to farther away from the central axis X. The two stopping portions 21 are respectively a first stopping portion 211 and a second stopping portion 212 , wherein the first stopping portion 211 is connected to the pushing portion 20 .
[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the housing 10 includes a docking surface 101, a locking hole 102, a fluid channel 103 extending through the docking surface 101 in the front-to-back direction L, a tilting member 104 located within the locking hole 102, and a limiting portion 105 located within the locking hole 102. The docking surface 101 is located at the front end of the housing 10 and docks with the complementary connector 200. In this embodiment, the housing 10 is a straight head type; in other embodiments, the housing 10 is an elbow type. In this embodiment, the locking hole 102 extends through the docking surface 101 in the front-to-back direction L; in other embodiments, the locking hole 102 does not extend through the docking surface 101 in the front-to-back direction L. The tilting member 104 includes a fixing portion 1041 and a mating portion 1042 integrally connected to the fixing portion 1041. The limiting portion 105 protrudes from the bottom wall of the locking hole 102 in a direction away from the central axis X, and the fixing portion 1041 is assembled and fixed to the limiting portion 105. The limiting portion 105 is provided with a stop surface 1051 and a notch 1052.
[0065] like Figure 5 and Figure 12As shown, the valve core 11 is rotatably mounted in the fluid passage 103, and a sealing ring (not numbered) is located between the housing 10 and the valve core 11. The valve core 11 includes a spherical outer surface 111 and a through hole 112 passing through the spherical outer surface 111. The valve core 11 can rotate around the axis Y between a closed position blocking the fluid passage 103 and an open position opening the fluid passage 103. The axis Y is perpendicular to the front-to-back direction L and intersects with the front-to-back direction L. When the valve core 11 is in the closed position, the surface of the valve core 11 cooperates with the housing 10 and the sealing ring (not numbered) to completely block the fluid passage 103, thereby preventing fluid communication from the docking surface 101 of the housing 10 through the fluid passage 103. When the valve core 11 is in the open position, the through hole 112 is coaxially aligned with the fluid passage 103 and allows fluid communication therethrough.
[0066] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 12 As shown, the driving member 12 extends through the outer circumference of the housing 10 (not numbered) and is rigidly connected to the valve core 11 by means of fasteners (not numbered) so as to rotate together with the valve core 11 around the axis Y. The rotation of the driving member 12 drives the valve core 11 to rotate, and when the driving member 12 stops rotating, the valve core 11 also stops rotating. The driving member 12 includes a pull portion 121 and a connecting portion 122 arranged near the outer circumference of the housing 10. The two ends of the connecting portion 122 are respectively fixedly connected to the pull portion 121 and the valve core 11. The fasteners pass through the connecting portion 122 to further fix the valve core 11. Accordingly, the rotation of the pull portion 121 around the axis Y drives the valve core 11 to rotate between the open position and the closed position. In this embodiment, the pull portion 121 includes a snap-fit portion 1211 and a stop portion 1212 connected to the snap-fit portion 1211. The snap-fit portion 1211 is a snap-fit groove. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 122 includes a buckling portion 1211 and a stopping portion 1212 connected to the buckling portion 1211 , and the buckling portion 1211 is a buckling groove.
[0067] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the locking member 13 is received in the lock hole 102 and moves between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member 13 includes an abutting portion 131, a locking portion 132 located behind the abutting portion 131, and a fulcrum 133 located between the abutting portion 131 and the locking portion 132. The abutting portion 131 is located at the front end of the locking member 13. The locking portion 132 is received in the notch 1052. The locking portion 132 is a locking protrusion. The fulcrum 133 abuts the mating portion 1042. In this embodiment, the fulcrum 133 is closer to the central axis X relative to the mating portion 1042, and the elastic member 16 is closer to the central axis X relative to the locking portion 132, and the elastic member 16 abuts the locking portion 132. In other embodiments, the fulcrum 133 is farther from the central axis X relative to the mating portion 1042, and the elastic member 16 is farther from the central axis X relative to the locking portion 132, and the elastic member 16 abuts the locking portion 132. The locking member 13 also includes a through-slot 134, through which the limiting portion 105 passes. The connecting portion 122 extends through both the limiting portion 105 and the through-slot 134 to securely connect to the valve core 11. A stop surface 1051 abuts the inner wall of the through-slot 134, preventing the locking member 13 from rotating relative to the limiting portion 105. The fixing portion 1041 is located within the through-slot 134, while the mating portion 1042 is located outside the through-slot 134.
[0068] The process of docking and undocking the fluid connector 100 and the complementary connector 200 is as follows:
[0069] refer to Figures 3 to 7 As shown, before the fluid connector 100 and the complementary connector 200 are docked, the abutting portion 131 extends forward from the locking hole 102, the fulcrum 133 abuts the mating portion 1042, the locking member 13 remains in the locked position, and the locking portion 132 and the locking portion 1211 are engaged with each other. At this time, the locking portion 132 prevents the pull portion 121 from rotating, that is, the valve core 11 is in the closed position and the locking member 13 prevents the valve core 11 from rotating from the closed position to the open position. The motion state of the fluid connector 100 before docking is consistent with the motion state of the fluid connector 100 when the complementary connector 200 has not started to rotate after docking, which can be referred to Figures 3 to 7 The fluid connector 100.
[0070] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, when the fluid connector 100 is docked with the complementary connector 200, the abutment portion 131 is received in the complementary connector 200. Figures 8 and 9As shown, the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100 along the first direction M, and the pushing portion 20 pushes the abutting portion 131 to move along the second direction N, that is, the abutting portion 131 moves away from the central axis X, and the second direction N is defined to rotate relative to the fulcrum 133 until the abutting portion 131 abuts the first stop portion 211. The abutting portion 131 is used to prevent the complementary connector 200 from continuing to rotate relative to the fluid connector 100 along the first direction M. At the same time, the locking portion 132 moves along the second direction N, that is, the locking portion 132 moves closer to the central axis X until the locking portion 132 is disengaged from the buckling portion 1211; at this time, as shown in FIG. Figures 10 and 11 As shown, the abutment portion 131 is located between the first stop portion 211 and the second stop portion 212, and the locking member 13 is located in the unlocked position, for allowing the pull portion 121 to rotate, that is, the locking member 13 is used to allow the valve core 11 to rotate from the closed position to the open position; Figures 12 to 13 As shown, after the pull portion 121 rotates, the stopping portion 1212 is located at the end of the locking portion 132 away from the central axis X, and is used to stop the locking portion 132 from moving in the opposite direction of the second direction N, that is, to stop the locking portion 132 from moving away from the central axis X, thereby preventing the abutting portion 131 from moving in the opposite direction of the second direction N, that is, to prevent the abutting portion 131 from moving toward the central axis X. The abutting portion 131 is stopped by the first stop portion 211 from continuing to rotate in the first direction M and stops the second stop portion 212 from rotating in the opposite direction of the first direction M, that is, the locking member 13 stops the complementary connector 200 from rotating relative to the fluid connector 100 in the first direction M and in the opposite direction of the first direction M.
[0071] Before the fluid connector 100 is separated from the complementary connector 200, the pull portion 121 drives the valve core 11 to rotate from the open position to the closed position, and the snap-on portion 1211 rotates to the end of the locking portion 132 away from the central axis X. As the complementary connector 200 moves in the opposite direction of the fluid connector 100 along the first direction M, the elastic member 16 abuts against the locking portion 132 and moves in the opposite direction of the second direction N, that is, the locking portion 132 moves away from the central axis X, so that the locking portion 132 and the snap-on portion 1211 are snapped together. At this time, the abutting portion 131 moves in the opposite direction of the second direction N, that is, the abutting portion 131 moves toward the central axis X, and the abutting portion 131 disengages from between the first stop portion 211 and the second stop portion 212.
[0072] like Figures 14 to 31FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. A fluid connector 100 is configured to mate with a complementary connector 200 along a front-to-back direction L. The fluid connector 100 includes a housing 10, a valve core 11, a locking member 13, an elastic member 16, a spring member 17, a pressing member 14, and a button 15. The housing 10 defines a central axis X for mating with the complementary connector 200. When the fluid connector 100 and the complementary connector 200 are mated, the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100 in a first direction M. Before the fluid connector 100 and the complementary connector 200 are separated, the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100 in a direction opposite to the first direction M, defining the first direction M as rotation relative to the central axis X. The complementary connector 200 includes a push portion 20 and two stop portions 21. The push portion 20 is inclined from front to back in a direction opposite to the first direction M. The two stop portions 21 are a first stop portion 211 and a second stop portion 212, respectively, with the first stop portion 211 connected to the push portion 20.
[0073] like Figure 14 As shown, the housing 10 includes a docking surface 101, a locking hole 102, a fluid channel 103 extending through the docking surface 101 in the front-to-back direction L, a rocker 104 located within the locking hole 102, and a stopper 105 located within the locking hole 102. The docking surface 101 is located at the front end of the housing 10 and docks with the complementary connector 200. In this embodiment, the housing 10 is a straight head type; in other embodiments, the housing 10 is an elbow type. The housing 10 defines the central axis X of the complementary connector 200. In this embodiment, the locking hole 102 extends through the docking surface 101 in the front-to-back direction L; in other embodiments, the locking hole 102 does not extend through the docking surface 101 in the front-to-back direction L. The rocker 104 includes a fixing portion 1041 and a mating portion 1042 integrally connected to the fixing portion 1041. The stopper 105 protrudes from the bottom wall of the locking hole 102 in a direction away from the central axis X, and the fixing portion 1041 is assembled and fixed to the stopper 105. The limiting portion 105 defines a stopping surface 1051 and a notch 1052 .
[0074] like Figure 19 and Figure 29As shown, the valve core 11 is rotatably mounted in the fluid passage 103, and a sealing ring (not numbered) is located between the housing 10 and the valve core 11. The valve core 11 includes a spherical outer surface 111 and a through hole 112 passing through the spherical outer surface 111. The valve core 11 can rotate around the axis Y between a closed position blocking the fluid passage 103 and an open position opening the fluid passage 103. The axis Y is perpendicular to the front-to-back direction L and intersects with the front-to-back direction L. When the valve core 11 is in the closed position, the surface of the valve core 11 cooperates with the housing 10 and the sealing ring (not numbered) to completely block the fluid passage 103, thereby preventing fluid communication from the docking surface 101 of the housing 10 through the fluid passage 103. When the valve core 11 is in the open position, the through hole 112 is coaxially aligned with the fluid passage 103 and allows fluid communication therethrough.
[0075] like Figures 1 to 2 、 Figure 19 and Figure 29 As shown, the driving member 12 extends through the outer circumference of the housing 10 (not numbered) and is rigidly connected to the valve core 11 by means of fasteners (not numbered) so as to rotate together with the valve core 11 around the axis Y. The rotation of the driving member 12 drives the valve core 11 to rotate, and when the driving member 12 stops rotating, the valve core 11 also stops rotating. The driving member 12 includes a pull portion 121 and a connecting portion 122 arranged near the outer circumference of the housing 10. The two ends of the connecting portion 122 are respectively fixedly connected to the pull portion 121 and the valve core 11. The fasteners pass through the connecting portion 122 to further fix the valve core 11. Accordingly, the rotation of the pull portion 121 around the axis Y drives the valve core 11 to rotate between the open position and the closed position. In this embodiment, the pull portion 121 includes a snap-fit portion 1211 and a stop portion 1212 connected to the snap-fit portion 1211. The snap-fit portion 1211 is a snap-fit groove. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 122 includes a buckling portion 1211 and a stopping portion 1212 connected to the buckling portion 1211 , and the buckling portion 1211 is a buckling groove.
[0076] like Figure 14As shown, the locking member 13 is received in the locking hole 102 and moves between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member 13 includes an abutting portion 131, a locking portion 132 located behind the abutting portion 131, a fulcrum 133 located between the abutting portion 131 and the locking portion 132, and a crimping portion 135 located behind the fulcrum 133. The abutment portion 131 is located at the front end of the locking member 13. The locking portion 132 is received in the notch 1052. The locking portion 132 is a locking protrusion. The fulcrum 133 abuts the mating portion 1042. In this embodiment, the fulcrum 133 is closer to the central axis X relative to the mating portion 1042, and the elastic member 16 is closer to the central axis X relative to the locking portion 132. The elastic member 16 abuts the locking portion 132. In other embodiments, the fulcrum 133 is farther from the central axis X relative to the mating portion 1042, and the elastic member 16 is farther from the central axis X relative to the locking portion 132. The elastic member 16 abuts the locking portion 132. The locking member 13 also includes a through-slot 134. The limiting portion 105 passes through the through-slot 134. The connecting portion 122 passes through the limiting portion 105 and the through-slot 134 to securely connect the valve core 11. The stopping surface 1051 abuts the inner wall of the through-slot 134 to prevent the locking member 13 from rotating relative to the limiting portion 105. The fixing portion 1041 is located in the through slot 134 , and the matching portion 1042 is located outside the through slot 134 . The spring member 17 abuts against the locking member 13 forward.
[0077] like Figures 14 and 15 As shown, the pressing member 14 includes a main body 141, an elastic arm 142 bent from the main body 141, a clamping portion 143 bent from the main body 141, and a pressing portion 144 bent from the main body 141 toward the center axis X. The end of the elastic arm 142, away from the main body 141, is clamped to the trigger portion 121, and the end of the elastic arm 142 connected to the main body 141 is elastically displaceable within the trigger portion 121. The button 15 includes a snap-fit portion 151 that cooperates with the clamping portion 143.
[0078] The process of docking and undocking the fluid connector 100 and the complementary connector 200 is as follows:
[0079] like Figure 16 As shown, before the fluid connector 100 is docked with the complementary connector 200, the abutting portion 131 extends forward from the locking hole 102, the fulcrum 133 abuts the mating portion 1042, the locking member 13 remains in the locked position, and the locking portion 132 and the snapping portion 1211 are snapped together. At this time, the locking portion 132 prevents the pull portion 121 from rotating, that is, the valve core 11 is in the closed position and the locking member 13 prevents the valve core 11 from rotating from the closed position to the open position.
[0080] like Figures 17 to 21As shown, when the fluid connector 100 is docked with the complementary connector 200, the abutting portion 131 is received in the complementary connector 200, and the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100 along the first direction M, and the pushing portion 20 pushes the abutting portion 131 to move backward, and the crimping portion 135 moves backward until the abutting portion 131 abuts the first stop portion 211, as shown in FIG. Figures 22 to 24 As shown, the abutment portion 131 is used to prevent the complementary connector 200 from continuing to rotate relative to the fluid connector 100 along the first direction M; at this time, as shown in FIG. Figures 25 to 28 As shown, the button is pressed forward, and the button 15 drives the holding portion, the pressing portion 144 and the main body 141 to move forward. At the same time, the button 15 drives the end of the elastic arm 142 connected to the main body 141 to elastically displace forward; the pressing portion 144 abuts the crimping portion 135, pushing the crimping portion 135 to move along the second direction N, that is, the crimping portion 135 moves toward the center axis X, and the crimping portion 135 drives the locking portion 132 to move along the second direction N, that is, the crimping portion 135 drives the locking portion 132 to move toward the center axis X until the locking portion 132 is disengaged from the buckling portion 1211, and the abutting portion 131 moves along the second direction N, that is, the abutting portion 131 moves away from the center axis X; at this time, the abutting portion 131 is located between the first stop portion 211 and the second stop portion 212, and the locking member 13 is in the unlocked position, used to allow the pull portion 121 to rotate, that is, the locking member 13 is used to allow the valve core 11 to rotate from the closed position to the open position; Figures 29 to 31 As shown, after the pull portion 121 rotates, the stop portion 1212 is located at the end of the locking portion 132 away from the central axis X, and is used to stop the locking portion 132 from moving in the opposite direction of the second direction N, that is, stopping the locking portion 132 from moving away from the central axis X. This in turn prevents the abutting portion 131 from moving in the opposite direction of the second direction N, that is, preventing the abutting portion 131 from moving toward the central axis X. The abutting portion 131 is stopped by the first stop portion 211 from continuing to rotate in the first direction M and stops the second stop portion 212 from rotating in the direction opposite to the first direction M. In other words, the locking member 13 prevents the complementary connector 200 from rotating relative to the fluid connector 100 in the first direction M and in the direction opposite to the first direction M. When the button 15 is released, the end of the elastic arm 142 connected to the main body 141 elastically rebounds backward, driving the holding portion, the pressing portion 144, and the main body 141 to move backward.
[0081] Before the fluid connector 100 is separated from the complementary connector 200, the pull portion 121 drives the valve core 11 to rotate from the open position to the closed position, and the buckle portion 1211 rotates to the end of the locking portion 132 away from the central axis X. The elastic member 16 abuts the locking portion 132 and moves in the opposite direction of the second direction N, that is, the locking portion 132 moves away from the central axis X, so that the locking portion 132 and the buckle portion 1211 are engaged with each other. At this time, the abutting portion 131 moves in the opposite direction of the second direction N, that is, the abutting portion 131 moves toward the central axis X until the abutting portion 131 and the second stop portion 212 are offset from each other. At this time, the abutting portion 131 is stopped by the first stop portion 211. As the complementary connector 200 moves in the opposite direction of the fluid connector 100 along the first direction M, the spring-pressing member 17 abuts the locking member 13 and moves forward until the abutting portion 131 and the pushing portion 20 are disengaged from each other.
[0082] like Figures 32 to 37 FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. A fluid connector 100 is configured to mate with a complementary connector 200 along a front-to-back direction L. The fluid connector 100 includes a housing 10, a valve core 11, a locking member 13, an elastic member 16, and a button 15. The housing 10 defines a central axis X for mating with the complementary connector 200. When the fluid connector 100 and the complementary connector 200 are mated, the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100 in a first direction M. Before the fluid connector 100 and the complementary connector 200 are separated, the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100 in a direction opposite to the first direction M, defining the first direction M as rotation relative to the central axis X. The complementary connector 200 includes a push portion 20 and a stop portion 21.
[0083] like Figure 32 As shown, the housing 10 includes a docking surface 101, a locking hole 102, a fluid passage 103 extending through the docking surface 101 in the front-to-back direction L, and a rocker 104 located within the locking hole 102. The docking surface 101 is located at the front end of the housing 10 and mates with the complementary connector 200. In this embodiment, the housing 10 is a straight type; in other embodiments, the housing 10 is an angled type. The housing 10 defines a central axis X for the complementary connector 200. In this embodiment, the locking hole 102 extends through the docking surface 101 in the front-to-back direction L; in other embodiments, the locking hole 102 does not extend through the docking surface 101 in the front-to-back direction L.
[0084] The valve core 11 is rotatably mounted in the fluid passage 103, and a sealing ring (not numbered) is located between the housing 10 and the valve core 11. The valve core 11 includes a spherical outer surface 111 and a through hole 112 passing through the spherical outer surface 111. The valve core 11 can rotate around the axis Y between a closed position blocking the fluid passage 103 and an open position opening the fluid passage 103. The axis Y is perpendicular to the front-to-back direction L and intersects with the front-to-back direction L. When the valve core 11 is in the closed position, the surface of the valve core 11 cooperates with the housing 10 and the sealing ring (not numbered) to completely block the fluid passage 103, thereby preventing fluid communication from the docking surface 101 of the housing 10 through the fluid passage 103. When the valve core 11 is in the open position, the through hole 112 is coaxially aligned with the fluid passage 103 and allows fluid communication therethrough.
[0085] like Figure 32 As shown, the driving member 12 extends through the outer circumference of the housing 10 (not numbered) and is rigidly connected to the valve core 11 by means of fasteners (not numbered) so as to rotate together with the valve core 11 around the axis Y. The rotation of the driving member 12 drives the valve core 11 to rotate, and when the driving member 12 stops rotating, the valve core 11 also stops rotating. The driving member 12 includes a pull portion 121 and a connecting portion 122 arranged near the outer circumference of the housing 10. The two ends of the connecting portion 122 are respectively fixedly connected to the pull portion 121 and the valve core 11. The fasteners pass through the connecting portion 122 to further fix the valve core 11. Accordingly, the rotation of the pull portion 121 around the axis Y drives the valve core 11 to rotate between the open position and the closed position. In this embodiment, the pull portion 121 includes a snap-fit portion 1211 and a stop portion 1212 connected to the snap-fit portion 1211. The snap-fit portion 1211 is a snap-fit groove. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 122 includes a buckling portion 1211 and a stopping portion 1212 connected to the buckling portion 1211 , and the buckling portion 1211 is a buckling groove.
[0086] like Figure 32 As shown, the locking member 13 is received in the locking hole 102 and moves between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member 13 includes an abutting portion 131, a locking portion 132 located behind the abutting portion 131, and a fulcrum 133 located between the abutting portion 131 and the locking portion 132. The abutting portion 131 is located at the front end of the locking member 13 and includes a first abutting block 1311 and a second abutting block 1312. The locking portion 132 is a locking protrusion. The rocker 104 is received at the fulcrum 133, and the elastic member 16 abuts the locking portion 132.
[0087] The process of docking and undocking the fluid connector 100 and the complementary connector 200 is as follows:
[0088] refer to Figure 34As shown, before the fluid connector 100 and the complementary connector 200 are docked, the abutment portion 131 extends forward from the lock hole 102, the fulcrum 133 abuts the rocker 104, the locking member 13 remains in the locked position, and the locking portion 132 and the locking portion 1211 are engaged with each other. At this time, the locking portion 132 prevents the pull portion 121 from rotating, that is, the valve core 11 is in the closed position and the locking member 13 prevents the valve core 11 from rotating from the closed position to the open position. The motion state of the fluid connector 100 before docking is consistent with the motion state of the fluid connector 100 when the complementary connector 200 has not started to rotate after docking, which can be referred to Figure 34 The fluid connector 100.
[0089] like Figure 34 As shown, when the fluid connector 100 is docked with the complementary connector 200, the abutment portion 131 is received in the complementary connector 200. Figure 35 As shown, the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100 in the first direction M, and the pushing portion 20 is located between the first abutting block 1311 and the second abutting block 1312. The pushing portion 20 pushes the first abutting block 1311 to rotate in the second direction N, which is defined as the second direction N rotating relative to the fulcrum 133. The second abutting block 1312 rotates along the second direction N with the first abutting block 1311. At this time, the locking portion 132 rotates in the second direction N until the locking portion 132 is disengaged from the buckling portion 1211. At this time, as shown in FIG. Figure 36 As shown, the second abutment block 1312 is located between the pushing portion 20 and the stop portion 21, and the locking member 13 is located in the unlocked position. The locking member 13 is used to allow the pull portion 121 to rotate, that is, the locking member 13 is used to allow the valve core 11 to rotate from the closed position to the open position; Figure 37 As shown, after the pull part 121 rotates, the stopping part 1212 rotates to the trajectory of the locking part 132 rotating in the opposite direction of the second direction N. The stopping part 1212 stops the locking part 132 from rotating in the opposite direction of the second direction N, thereby preventing the second abutment block 1312 from rotating in the opposite direction of the second direction N. The second abutment block 1312 stops the stopping part 21 from rotating in the first direction M and stops the pushing part 20 from rotating in the opposite direction of the first direction M, that is, the locking member 13 stops the complementary connector 200 from rotating relative to the fluid connector 100 in the first direction M and in the opposite direction of the first direction M.
[0090] Before the fluid connector 100 is separated from the complementary connector 200, the pull portion 121 drives the valve core 11 to rotate from the open position to the closed position, and the snap-fit portion 1211 rotates to the trajectory of the locking portion 132 rotating in the opposite direction of the second direction N. As the complementary connector 200 moves in the opposite direction of the fluid connector 100 along the first direction M, the elastic member 16 abuts against the locking portion 132 and moves in the opposite direction of the second direction N, so that the locking portion 132 and the snap-fit portion 1211 are snapped together. At this time, the second abutting block 1312 moves in the opposite direction of the second direction N, and the second abutting block 1312 disengages from between the pushing portion 20 and the stop portion 21.
[0091] In summary, the electrical connector of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0092] (1) The buckling portion 1211 and the locking portion 132 are buckled with each other, so that when the locking member 13 is maintained in the locked position, the pull portion 121 cannot rotate, thereby preventing the valve core 11 from rotating from the closed position to the open position.
[0093] (2) The stopping surface 1051 of the limiting portion 105 abuts against the inner wall of the through groove 134, and is used to stop the locking member 13 from rotating relative to the limiting portion 105, so as to prevent the abutting portion 131 from pushing the pushing portion 20 to move out of position along the second direction N as the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100, that is, the abutting portion 131 does not move away from the central axis X, thereby causing the locking portion 132 to move along the second direction N, that is, the locking portion 132 does not move close to the central axis X, thereby preventing the locking portion 132 from being separated from the buckling portion 1211; the locking portion 132 is accommodated in the notch 1052, and the notch 1052 provides a space for the locking portion 132.
[0094] (3) The rocker 104 includes a fixing portion 1041 located in the through groove 134 and a matching portion 1042 integrally connected to the fixing portion 1041. The fixing portion 1041 is assembled and fixed with the limiting portion 105. During assembly, the locking member 13 can be first inserted into the locking hole 102, and then the fixing portion 1041 of the rocker 104 is assembled and fixed with the limiting portion 105; the fulcrum 133 is close to the central axis X relative to the matching portion 1042, and the elastic member 16 is close to the central axis X relative to the locking portion 132. The elastic member 16 can abut the locking portion 132 and move in the opposite direction of the second direction N, that is, the locking portion 132 can move away from the central axis X.
[0095] (4) The pushing portion 20 is inclined in a direction opposite to the first direction M from close to the central axis X to away from the central axis X. As the complementary connector 200 rotates relative to the fluid connector 100 in the first direction M, the pushing portion 20 pushes the abutting portion 131 to move in the second direction N, that is, the abutting portion 131 moves away from the central axis X, and the locking portion 132 moves in the second direction N, that is, the locking portion 132 moves close to the central axis X until the locking portion 132 disengages from the fastening portion 1211.
[0096] (5) When the fluid connector 100 is docked with the complementary connector 200, the driving member 12 rotates to drive the valve core 11 from the closed position to the open position, and the stopping portion 1212 rotates to the trajectory of stopping the locking member from rotating in the opposite direction of the second direction N. The stopping portion 1212 stops the locking member from rotating in the opposite direction of the second direction N, thereby preventing the second abutment block 1312 from rotating in the opposite direction of the second direction N. The second abutment block 1312 stops the stop portion 21 from rotating in the first direction M and stops the push portion 20 from rotating in the opposite direction of the first direction M, that is, the locking member 13 stops the complementary connector 200 from rotating relative to the fluid connector 100 in the first direction M and in the opposite direction of the first direction M, thereby avoiding the fluid connector 100 and the complementary connector 200 from accidentally loosening when the fluid channel 103 is opened, thereby causing fluid leakage.
[0097] The above detailed description is only an illustration of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made by using the description and illustrations of this invention are included in the patent scope of this invention.
