Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a pipeline connector. Background Art

[0002] The domestic waste disposal process typically includes the following key steps: collection, transportation, and treatment. Currently, the large-scale vehicles used to transport waste include dump trucks and semi-trailers. Dump trucks are equipped with a hydraulic lift system. When unloading containers, the hydraulic lift system tilts the container from a flat position to release the waste. While dump trucks offer convenience during unloading, their disadvantage is that the heavy weight of the hydraulic lift system consumes a portion of the vehicle's rated load capacity, reducing the container's load capacity.

[0003] With the advancement of technology and the increase in demand, a new way of transporting garbage has emerged. The container is loaded onto a semi-trailer, the garbage is stored in the container, and a hydraulic push unloading device is installed in the container. A hydraulic station is installed between the container and the front of the vehicle, and the hydraulic station is connected to the hydraulic push unloading device.

[0004] When the semi-trailer transports the container full of garbage to the garbage disposal site, the hydraulic station is controlled to output hydraulic oil, which is supplied to the container tailgate cylinder and the hydraulic push unloading device respectively, so that the tailgate is opened and the hydraulic push unloading device is operated. The hydraulic push unloading device pushes the garbage in the container to move, thereby pushing the garbage out of the container.

[0005] For the above structure, since the hydraulic station is installed on the semi-trailer vehicle, the weight of the hydraulic station is usually one to two tons. Therefore, the hydraulic station occupies a part of the load capacity of the semi-trailer. The load capacity occupied by the hydraulic station on the semi-trailer is equivalent to reducing the loading capacity of the garbage. Therefore, the amount of garbage transported in a single trip is reduced.

[0006] If the hydraulic station is separated from the semi-trailer, that is, the hydraulic station is placed at the disposal site, and an oil pipeline is set up on the container, when the semi-trailer arrives at the disposal site, the hydraulic station is connected to the oil pipeline. In this way, the amount of garbage loaded in the container can be increased. Obviously, for this method, a separate connecting connector is required to connect the hydraulic station to the oil pipeline, and then the hydraulic oil of the hydraulic station is supplied to the container tailgate cylinder and the hydraulic push unloading device through the oil pipeline. Although there are many kinds of pipeline connectors, these pipeline connectors are mostly threaded connections, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive to connect. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model provides a pipeline connector which is convenient to connect.

[0008] Pipe connectors, including:

[0009] A medium connecting component is provided with a first connecting portion;

[0010] The medium supply assembly is provided with a second connecting portion, and when the medium supply assembly is combined with the medium receiving assembly, the second connecting portion cooperates with the first connecting portion;

[0011] A locking assembly is provided on the medium supply assembly, and a locking coupling portion is provided on the medium receiving assembly. After the medium supply assembly and the medium receiving assembly are combined, the locking assembly cooperates with the locking coupling portion on the medium receiving assembly to fix the medium supply assembly and the medium receiving assembly into one piece;

[0012] Alternatively, the locking assembly is arranged on the medium receiving assembly, and a locking coupling portion is provided on the medium supply assembly. After the medium supply assembly is combined with the medium receiving assembly, the locking assembly cooperates with the locking coupling portion on the medium supply assembly to fix the medium supply assembly and the medium receiving assembly into one.

[0013] When the media receiving assembly and the media supply assembly need to be docked, the media supply assembly is moved and entered into the accommodating cavity, the plug-in tube is inserted into the first connecting portion, the rotating component rotates, the rotating component provides power to the connecting rod, and the connecting rod drives the lock core to move along the sliding guide portion. The lock core passes through the sliding guide portion and enters the lock hole, thereby fixing the media receiving assembly and the media supply assembly into one piece, thereby preventing the media receiving assembly and the media supply assembly from separating due to the pressure of the medium when the medium is transported. Since the utility model docks the media receiving assembly and the media supply assembly in a plug-in manner, it has the advantage of convenience. In addition, the locking assembly fixes the media receiving assembly and the media supply assembly into one piece, thereby ensuring the reliability of the docking. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementations.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the pipeline connector of the present invention includes a medium connecting component, a medium supply component, and a locking component. Each component and the relationship between them are described in detail below.

[0028] The medium receiving assembly is provided with a first connection portion 11. In this embodiment, the first connection portion 11 is a through hole. One end of the first connection portion 11 engages with the medium supply assembly, and the other end of the first connection portion 11 engages with the installation oil pipeline B. In this embodiment, the medium being transported can be gas or liquid. The gas can be compressed air, and the liquid can be water or hydraulic oil.

[0029] The medium supply assembly includes a first support 12 and a mounting plate 13. The first connecting portion 11 is disposed on the first support 12. After the mounting plate 13 is secured to the first support 12, a receiving cavity 14 for accommodating the medium supply assembly is formed between the mounting plate 13 and the first support 12. In this embodiment, the first support 12 is fixed to the container A, so the entire medium supply assembly is stationary.

[0030] The medium supply assembly is connected to the hydraulic station D via a pipeline. The medium supply assembly is provided with a second connecting portion 21. When the medium supply assembly is coupled to the medium receiving assembly, the second connecting portion 21 plugs into the first connecting portion 11. The medium supply assembly includes a second support 22, mounted on the second support 22. The second connecting portion 21 includes a first through-hole 21a and a plug-in tube 21b that plugs into the first connecting portion 11. The plug-in tube 21b is connected to the first through-hole 21a. The plug-in tube 21 and the second support 22 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the first through-hole 21a is connected to the oil supply station, which is located at the unloading site C. Therefore, the entire medium supply assembly can be moved under external force, such as by an operator manually docking the medium supply assembly with the medium receiving assembly or by a robotic arm. During docking, the second support 22 enters the accommodating cavity 14, allowing the second connecting portion 21 to plug into the first connecting portion 11.

[0031] The medium supply assembly further includes a sealing ring 21c. An annular groove is provided on the circumference of the plug-in tube 21b. The sealing ring 21c cooperates with the annular groove on the plug-in tube 21b. The sealing effect of the sealing ring 21c can prevent leakage during the conveying of the medium.

[0032] The locking assembly is arranged on the medium supply assembly, and the medium receiving assembly is provided with a locking coupling portion. After the medium supply assembly and the medium receiving assembly are combined, the locking assembly cooperates with the locking coupling portion on the medium receiving assembly to fix the medium supply assembly and the medium receiving assembly into one body.

[0033] The locking assembly includes a rotating component 31, a lock core 32, and a connecting rod 33. The rotating component 31 is movably engaged with the medium supply assembly. The medium supply assembly is provided with a sliding guide portion 23, which is arranged on the second support 22. The lock core 32 is loosely engaged with the sliding guide portion 23. One end of the connecting rod 33 is hinged to the rotating component 31, and the other end of the connecting rod 33 is hinged to the lock core 32. The locking joint is a lock hole 15, and the lock core 32 engages with the lock hole 15. The lock hole 15 is provided on the mounting plate 13. When the lock core 32 passes through the sliding guide portion 23 and is inserted into the lock hole 15, a portion of the lock core 15 is respectively present in the lock hole 15 and the sliding guide portion 23. Therefore, the second support 22 and the mounting plate 13 are fixed together by the lock core 15.

[0034] The rotating component 31 includes a rotating base 31a, with a clearance groove 31b defined on its circumference. One end of the connecting rod 33 is positioned within the clearance groove 31b and articulated to the rotating base 31a. The rotating base 31a also includes a coupling portion 31c, which in this embodiment is a raised portion with an axial hole. The media supply assembly is provided with a mounting cavity 24, with the rotating component 31 engaging with the mounting cavity 24. The sliding guide portion 23 is a through-hole extending through the mounting cavity 24. The rotating base 31a is cylindrical and has a clearance fit within the mounting cavity 24.

[0035] The contour line segments of the installation cavity 24 include a first arc segment 24a, a first straight line segment 24b, a second straight line segment 24c, a third straight line segment 24d, a second arc segment 24e, a fourth straight line segment 24f, a fifth straight line segment 24g, and a sixth straight line segment 24h. When the first arc segment 24a, the first straight line segment 24b, the second straight line segment 24c, the third straight line segment 24d, the second arc segment 24e, the fourth straight line segment 24f, the fifth straight line segment 24g, and the sixth straight line segment 24h are connected end to end in sequence, the space in the middle portion of the installation cavity 24 is larger than the space at both ends, that is, the space in the middle portion is larger than the space at the left and right ends of the middle portion.

[0036] Since the rotating seat 31a is cylindrical, the rotating seat 31a is respectively matched with the arc surface gaps corresponding to the first arc segment 24a and the second arc segment 24e in the middle part of the installation cavity 24, and the space at the two ends of the installation cavity 24 is smaller than the space in the middle part. This restricts the position of the rotating seat 31a, that is, it restricts the rotating seat 31a from moving toward the two ends of the installation cavity 24. This kind of cooperation between the installation cavity 24 and the rotating seat 31a only needs to ensure that when the rotating seat 31a rotates, the lock core 32 is driven into or out of the lock hole 15 through the connecting rod 33. There is no need to have particularly high precision requirements for the cooperation between the lock core 32 and the lock hole 15. Therefore, bearings can be used to install the rotating seat 31a, which is beneficial to cost saving.

[0037] The locking assembly also includes a cover plate 34, which is provided with a clearance hole 34a. The clearance hole 34a cooperates with the rotating component 31, the cover plate 34 cooperates with the installation cavity 24, the cover plate 34 is fixed to the medium supply assembly, and the joint 31c cooperates with the clearance hole 34a, thereby restricting the rotating component 31 in the installation cavity 24. The cover plate 34 prevents the rotating component 31 from axial movement.

[0038] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, a locking assembly may be provided on a media receiving assembly, and a locking engagement portion may be provided on a media supply assembly. After the media supply assembly and the media receiving assembly are coupled, the locking assembly cooperates with the locking engagement portion on the media supply assembly to secure the media supply assembly and the media receiving assembly together. In other words, the structure of the locking assembly in this configuration is the same as in the above embodiment, only the position is different. For detailed structure, please refer to the above embodiment.

[0039] When the medium receiving assembly and the medium supply assembly need to be matched, the medium supply assembly will be moved and enter the accommodating cavity 14, the plug-in tube 21b will be inserted into the first connecting part 11, the rotating part 31 will rotate, the rotating part 31 will provide power to the connecting rod 33, the connecting rod 33 will drive the lock core 32 to move along the sliding guide part 23, and the lock core 32 will pass through the sliding guide part 23 and enter the lock hole 15, so that the medium receiving assembly and the medium supply assembly are fixed into one, thereby avoiding the separation of the medium receiving assembly and the medium supply assembly due to the pressure of the medium when conveying the medium.
