AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During use of existing quick-connect connectors, the inner liner tube is easily pushed in too far, causing the clamping ring to become unusable, resulting in a problem of insufficient reliability.

Method used

A positioning step and a limiting ring are set inside the plug end. The locking cap is threaded to the inside of the plug end and limits the limiting ring at the positioning step. The two ends of the inner liner tube pass through the annular protrusions of the limiting ring and the locking cap. The annular protrusions and the convex edge prevent the inner liner tube from coming out. At the same time, the limiting ring and the annular convex edge limit the inner movement distance of the inner liner tube and ensure the stability of the retaining ring.

Benefits of technology

This improves the reliability of quick-connect fittings, prevents the inner liner from coming out and the retaining ring from loosening, and achieves higher connection stability and structural compactness.

Therefore, people design the connector which can form quick connection with the pipeline in view of the above problems existing in the traditional pipe connector, and it has been widely applied in the market.

[0003] For example, the quick plug connector with patent application No. 201620619739.5, it includes the connector body, one end of the connector body is the plug-in end, the plug-in end is provided with a ring and an inner liner tube, the plug-in end is also provided with a positioning ring in the form of a ring, the outer side wall of the positioning ring abuts against the inner side wall of the plug-in end, the positioning ring limits the ring and the inner liner tube in the plug-in end, the plug-in end is screw connected with a locking cap outside, the inner side of the locking cap abuts against the rear end of the positioning ring, the rear end of the inner liner tube passes through the positioning ring and the locking cap in turn and is located outside the locking cap; the front end of the inner liner tube has an annular shoulder outside, the positioning ring is in the form of a ring, the rear end of the positioning ring has an annular convex edge inside, and the annular shoulder abuts against the annular convex edge. When using, the pipe is inserted into the plug-in end of the connector body through the inner liner tube, when the pipe passes through the ring, the teeth on the ring will be engaged on the outer side wall of the pipe to form quick connection, when disassembling, only need to push the inner liner tube inward to open the teeth of the ring and separate from the outer side wall of the pipe.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned quick plug connector also has the following problems: as can be seen from the drawings of the specification, the inner liner tube cannot be pushed out from the plug-in end due to the existence of the annular shoulder and the annular convex edge, but the moving distance of the inner liner tube towards the inside is not limited, and in actual use, the inner liner tube is easily pushed in too much and directly passes through the ring, at this time, the teeth of the ring will be directly engaged on the outer side wall of the inner liner tube, which causes the quick plug connector to be unable to be used again, so there is a problem of insufficient use reliability. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model aims at the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, and provides a quick plug connector, which solves the problem of insufficient use reliability.

[0006] The utility model can be realized by the following technical schemes:

[0008] By abutting limiting ring on positioning step, locking cap is directly screwed inside in the port of plug-in end and limiting ring is positioned at positioning step, and inner liner tube is passed through limiting ring and annular convex part inside in locking cap respectively, and annular convex edge in the middle part of inner liner tube can move between limiting ring and annular convex part, so that, while preventing inner liner tube from being pulled out of plug-in end by annular convex part and annular convex edge, the maximum distance of inner liner tube moving inward can be limited by annular convex edge abutting against the outer end surface of limiting ring, thereby ensuring the use reliability of the fast connector.

[0009] In addition, positioning step is located between abutting step and locking cap, limiting ring is positioned at abutting step with ring, that is, limiting ring also restricts ring, so it has higher reliability.

[0010] In the above-mentioned fast plug-in connector, the limiting ring and the ring have a gap.

[0011] By setting a gap between limiting ring and ring instead of directly abutting, the limiting of ring is not affected (ring has only a small amount of movement), and ring can be in a suspended state to prevent pipe from exiting plug-in end when rotating.

[0012] In the above-mentioned fast plug-in connector, the limiting ring includes a main body in the form of a ring and a lug integrally connected to the inner circumferential surface of the outer end of the main body, and the limiting ring abuts against the positioning step through the lug.

[0013] When installing, the limiting ring is directly placed into the plug-in end, the main body of the limiting ring passes through the center of the positioning step, and the lug is hung on the positioning step so that the limiting ring can abut against the positioning step.

[0014] In the above-mentioned quick plug connector, the outer end surface of the locking cap is provided with a plurality of connecting holes distributed around the center line thereof.

[0015] Since the locking cap is threadedly connected to the inner side of the port of the plug-in end, a plurality of connecting holes are provided on the outer end surface of the locking cap, and the locking cap can be conveniently installed by inserting a tool into the connecting holes.

[0016] In the above-mentioned quick plug connector, the locking cap is a plastic part, the port of the plug-in end has a groove, and the outer peripheral side of the outer end portion of the locking cap has an ear portion abutting against the groove.

[0017] The ear portion abutting against the groove can limit the depth of the thread connection of the locking cap. Since the locking cap is a plastic part, the ear portion is protected by being covered by the groove, so that the ear portion is prevented from being damaged.

[0018] In the above-mentioned quick plug connector, both ends of the connector body are the plug-in end, and the structures of both ends of the connector body are the same.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the quick plug connector of the present application is provided with a limiting ring abutting against the positioning step, the locking cap is directly threadedly connected to the inner side of the port of the plug-in end and limits the limiting ring at the positioning step, the inner liner tube passes through the limiting ring and the annular convex portion on the inner side of the locking cap at both ends thereof, and the annular convex edge on the outer side of the middle portion of the inner liner tube can move between the limiting ring and the annular convex portion. Thus, the annular convex edge and the annular convex portion are used to prevent the inner liner tube from being pulled out of the plug-in end, and the annular convex edge abuts against the outer end surface of the limiting ring to limit the maximum distance of the movement of the inner liner tube towards the inside, so that the use reliability of the quick plug connector is ensured. The positioning step is located between the abutting step and the locking cap, the limiting ring limits the ring at the abutting step, that is, the limiting ring also limits the ring, so that the reliability is higher.
