Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an insert-type connector assembly for the outlet pipe of an electromagnetic valve and a pressure reducing valve for a liquefied gas tank. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most devices for leak detection and gas supply cutoff in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders use robotic arms, while some use solenoid valves. Because these devices are directly installed at the high-pressure outlet of the gas cylinder, installation and commissioning are complex, and there are still certain risks involved in their use. Even slight loosening, insufficient precision of the robotic arm, wear and tear over time, or hardening and aging of the rubber in cold weather can cause a sudden release of high-pressure gas, creating a hazard. Furthermore, the cutoff device itself is easily damaged due to constant exposure to high-pressure gas, gradually affecting its precision and reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a plug-in gas connector that is simple and easy to install and will not cause danger or damage to equipment.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes the following technical solution: an insert-type connector assembly for the outlet pipe of a solenoid valve and a liquefied gas tank pressure reducing valve, comprising:
[0005] A metal connector body has a round hole with a recessed step at the front end in the center of its interior, and symmetrical flanges and fixing holes on both sides of its front section to lock and fix it with the air inlet port of the solenoid valve. Its middle section has a split external thread and a split cone at the end.
[0006] A tubular soft rubber inner sleeve is installed in the central inner circular hole of the metal connector body. It has a hole in the center and a large diameter ring at the front end to lock with the air inlet port of the solenoid valve to prevent air leakage. It has a convex ring at the rear end to prevent loosening.
[0007] A polygonal metal clamp sleeve has an internal thread at its front end that mates with the split external thread of the metal connector body, and a tapered hole at its rear end. The inner diameter of the tapered hole at its very end is the same as or close to the outer diameter of the split taper of the metal connector body. The entire gas outlet pipe of the liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve is inserted into the central hole of the tubular soft rubber inner sleeve of the metal connector body, and then the polygonal metal clamp sleeve is tightened forward. The gas outlet pipe of the liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve will be clamped and will not loosen or leak.
[0008] A further limitation of the above technical solution is that the inner hole of the tubular soft rubber inner sleeve can be a through hole.
[0009] A further limitation of the above technical solution is that the inner hole shape of the tubular soft rubber inner sleeve is the same as the outer surface shape of the gas outlet pipe of the standard specification of the pressure reducing valve of a commonly used liquefied gas cylinder.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The solenoid valve and the gas outlet pipe insertion connector of the liquefied gas tank pressure reducing valve of the present invention are installed at the gas outlet of the pressure reducing valve of the gas tank. Since the pressure of the gas has been greatly reduced to a safe range by the pressure reducing valve, and the gas flow can also be controlled stably, it is not only simple and easy to install, but also will not cause damage to the equipment. It is a novel, practical and safe product. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the specific accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figure 1The diagram shown is an exploded perspective view of Embodiment 1 of the solenoid valve and liquefied gas tank pressure reducing valve outlet pipe insert connector assembly of this utility model. The metal connector body 02 has a centrally located circular hole 024 at its front end. Its external front end has symmetrical flanges 026 and fixing holes 021 on both sides. Its external middle section has a split external thread 022 and a split cone 023 at its end. Both split sections are formed by four cracks 025, thus providing a certain degree of elasticity. A tubular soft rubber inner sleeve 01 is installed in the central circular hole 024 of the metal connector body 02. This inner sleeve has a central inner hole 013, a large-diameter ring 011 at its front end, and a raised ring 012 at its rear end to prevent loosening. A polygonal metal clamp sleeve 03 with internal threads is installed on the outer periphery of the metal connector body 02. The rear section of the clamp sleeve 03 is a tapered hole 032. The inner diameter of the outermost end of the tapered hole 032 is the same as the outer diameter of the split taper 023 of the metal connector body 02. When the polygonal metal clamp sleeve 03 is tightened forward, the tapered hole 032 in the rear section will force the outer diameter of the split taper 023 at the end of the metal connector body 02 to be compressed and reduced.
[0024] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is an exploded perspective view of Embodiment 1, illustrating the actual use of an insert-type connector assembly for the outlet pipe of a solenoid valve and a liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve. The solenoid valve 04 has an inlet port 041 and an outlet port 042 on each side. The inlet port 041 has a screw hole 043 on each of its two flanges, and a vent pipe 045 in the center of the inlet port 041, with a stepped opening 044 of a relatively large inner diameter at its front end. By using two screws 06 to lock the metal connector body 02 through the fixing holes 021 on the two flanges 026 at the front end of the metal connector body 02 and the screw holes 043 on the flanges of the inlet port 041 of the solenoid valve 04, the fixed connection between the metal connector body 02 and the solenoid valve 04 is completed.
[0025] like Figure 3 The diagram shows a perspective view of Embodiment 1, illustrating the actual use of an electromagnetic valve and a liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve outlet pipe insert connector assembly. After the metal connector body 02 and the electromagnetic valve 04 are secured with screws, the entire outlet pipe 051 of the liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve is inserted into the central hole 013 of the tubular soft rubber inner sleeve within the metal connector body 02. Then, the polygonal metal clamp 03 is tightened forward, thus securing the outlet pipe 051 of the liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve and preventing it from loosening.
[0026] like Figure 4The diagram shown is an exploded cross-sectional view of Embodiment 1 of the solenoid valve and liquefied gas tank pressure reducing valve outlet pipe insert connector assembly of this utility model. The metal connector body 02 has a central circular hole 024 with a recessed step 027 at its front end. Its outer front end has symmetrical flanges 026 and fixing holes 021 on both sides. Its outer middle section has a split external thread 022 and a split cone 023 at its end, both split by four cracks 025. A tubular soft rubber inner sleeve 01 is installed in the central circular hole 024 of the metal connector body 02. The tubular soft rubber inner sleeve 01 has a central inner hole 013 and a large-diameter ring 011 at its front end, positioned at the recessed step 027 at the central front end of the metal connector body 02 to lock with the air inlet port 041 of the solenoid valve 04 to prevent leakage. Its rear end has a protruding ring 012 to prevent the tubular soft rubber inner sleeve 01 from detaching from the metal connector body 02. A polygonal metal clamp 03 is installed on the outer periphery of the metal connector body 02. The front section of the clamp has an internal thread 033 that cooperates with the split external thread 022 of the metal connector body 02. The rear section of the clamp is a tapered hole 032 without threads. The inner diameter of the tapered hole 032 at its end is the same as or close to the outer diameter of the split taper 023 of the metal connector body 02.
[0027] like Figure 5 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of Embodiment 1 of the solenoid valve and liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve outlet pipe insertion connector assembly of this utility model. Two screws 06 are used to lock the metal connector body 02 through the fixing holes 021 on both sides of the front flange 026 and the screw holes 043 on both ends of the solenoid valve 04 inlet port 041, thus completing the fixed connection between the metal connector body 02 and the solenoid valve 04. Then, the entire liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve outlet pipe 051 is inserted into the central hole 013 of the tubular soft rubber inner sleeve inside the metal connector body 02. Finally, the polygonal metal clamp 03 is tightened forward, thus securing the liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve outlet pipe 051 and preventing it from loosening. Because the solenoid valve 04 has a large inner diameter step 044 at the air inlet port 041, the diameter of which is the same as the annulus 011 at the front end of the tubular soft rubber inner sleeve 01, when the solenoid valve 04 air inlet port 041 is locked and fixed to the metal connector body 02, the annulus 011 at the front end of the tubular soft rubber inner sleeve 01 will be forced flattened and tightly surround the front outlet of the gas outlet pipe 051 of the liquefied gas tank pressure reducing valve, thus preventing gas leakage.
[0028] like Figure 6The diagram shown is a cross-sectional view of the tubular soft rubber inner sleeve of the solenoid valve and the gas outlet pipe insertion connector assembly of the liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve of this utility model, according to embodiment 2. The inner hole shape of the tubular soft rubber inner sleeve can be designed to be the same as the outer shape of the gas outlet pipe of the commonly used liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve, thus more effectively preventing gas leakage in the gas outlet pipe 051 of the liquefied gas cylinder pressure reducing valve and increasing the stability of the overall assembly.
