Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pipeline connection technology, and more particularly to an identifiable connection connector. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors are devices or components that are typically used to connect two or more parts. They are widely used in automotive fuel systems, cooling systems, air conditioning systems, as well as hydraulic and pneumatic systems, to maintain a stable connection between pipes.

[0003] During connector assembly, such as in the production of a complete vehicle, various connectors of different specifications and models may be involved. To facilitate identification of connector specifications and types and avoid misassembly, existing technologies typically use simple markings on the outer wall of the connector body for model and specification differentiation. However, due to the limitations of the connector body's own structure, the information it can carry is limited. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an identifiable connector that can carry relevant parameter information without affecting subsequent assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] The embodiments of this application provide an identifiable connector that enables the acquisition and traceability of connector parameter information without affecting subsequent assembly of the connector.

[0005] This application provides an identifiable connector, comprising: a connector body; a latch, movably connected to the connector body and movable along an axis perpendicular to the connector body; and an identification element, detachably connected to the outer wall of the connector body. The identification element includes a main body portion with an identification mark for tracing parameter information of the connector body. When the latch extends out of the outer wall of the connector body, the identification element is locked to the connector body by the latch. When the latch retracts into the connector body, the identification element is released and can detach from the connector body.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the main body has a clearance hole, which is correspondingly provided with a latch, and the latch can move within the clearance hole.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the marking element further includes a snap-fit ​​portion that protrudes from the side surface of the main body facing the connector body, and a snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the outer side wall of the connector body, into which the snap-fit ​​portion is engaged.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the angle between the protruding direction of the snap-fit ​​portion and the tangential direction of the main body portion at the location of the snap-fit ​​portion is less than 90°.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the snap-fit ​​portions are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the circumference of the identification piece.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the identification mark is disposed on the side surface of the identification piece facing the connector body.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the identification element has a positioning groove on the side surface facing the connector body, and the identification mark is located in the positioning groove.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the marker further includes a grip portion connected to the side surface of the main body facing away from the connector body, with a gap between the grip portion and the outer wall surface of the connector body.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the grip portion is provided with a force-receiving hole.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the identification mark can be at least one of a two-dimensional identification code, a barcode, a serial number, or an RFID tag.

[0015] This application provides an identifiable connector, including a connector body, a latch movably connected to the connector body, and an identification element detachably connected to the outer wall of the connector body. The identification element includes a main body portion with an identification mark, which can be used to trace parameter information of the connector body.

[0031] Connectors are commonly used devices or components to connect two or more parts. They can quickly connect and disconnect various pipes or cables in automotive systems and are widely used in systems that require frequent connection and disconnection, such as fuel systems, cooling systems, air conditioning systems, and hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

[0032] To help manufacturers, suppliers, and service personnel quickly identify and manage connector components, existing identification codes typically use numbers and letters to label the connector's model and specifications for quick identification of its applicability and compatibility. Alternatively, some connectors may have specific symbols or icons printed on them to indicate their function or connection method.

[0033] However, due to the limitations of the connector's own structure, the information it can carry is limited. It can generally only provide simple information and cannot provide some parameter information, such as production batch, production date, manufacturer, material composition, etc., so as to quickly trace back when quality problems occur.

[0034] In view of this, this application provides an identifiable connector, including a connector body, a latch movably connected to the connector body, and an identification element detachably connected to the outer wall of the connector body. The identification element includes a main body portion with an identification mark, which can be used to trace parameter information of the connector body. The latch is movable along an axis perpendicular to the connector body. When the latch extends out of the outer wall of the connector body, the identification element is locked to the connector body. When the latch retracts into the connector body, the identification element is released and can detach from the connector body.

[0035] With this setup, operators can obtain and trace the specific parameter information of the corresponding connector by using the identification mark set on the marker, facilitating subsequent management and maintenance of the connector. Furthermore, the marker can be fixed and released by switching the position of the latch movable to the connector body. Assembly and disassembly of the marker and connector body are simple and convenient, and the marker can be used to verify whether the connector and male connector are properly assembled.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of an identifiable connector provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 A perspective structural diagram of another identifiable connector provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the identifiable connector provided in this embodiment includes a connector body 100, a latch 200, and an identifier 300. The latch 200 is movably connected to the connector body 100 and can move along an axis perpendicular to the connector body 100. The identifier 300 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the connector body 100. Specifically, when the latch 200 extends beyond the outer wall of the connector body 100, the identifier 300 is locked to the connector body 100 by the latch 200. When the latch 200 retracts into the connector body 100, the identifier 300 is released and can detach from the connector body 100.

[0038] When the latch 200 retracts into the connector body 100, it locks the male connector into the connector body 100. Therefore, the marking element 300 can be used to verify whether the connector and the male connector are fully assembled. That is, when the marking element 300 is locked in the connector body 100, the connector and the male connector are not fully assembled. When the marking element 300 is released and can detach from the connector body 100, the connector and the male connector are fully assembled.

[0039] It is understood that, for different types of connectors, the connector body 100 may be a main body comprising sub-components mounted on the female connector housing (see...). Figure 1 (As shown), or it can be the female connector housing itself (see...). Figure 2 As shown in the figure, no specific limitations are made here.

[0040] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the connector body 100 may include a connector body 140 and a mating component 150. The mating component 150 is fixedly connected to the connector body 140. For example, the mating component 150 may be welded to the connector body 140, or the mating component 150 may be detachably connected to the connector body 140, such as by snap-fit, adhesive bonding, or riveting. Specifically, the latch 200 passes through the outer wall of the mating component 150 and locks the marking component 300 onto the mating component 150.

[0041] As another implementation method, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the connector body 100 can be a one-piece molded connector body 140. Specifically, the latch 200 passes through the outer side wall of the connector body 140 and locks the marking piece 300 onto the connector body 140.

[0042] The following is passed Figures 3-5 The working principle of the latch 200 is explained.

[0043] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of a connector without assembled markings, viewed from one angle. (Refer to...) Figure 3As shown, the latch 200 is provided with a guide boss 2201, and the guide boss 2201 is provided with a guide slope. At this time, the first end of the latch 200 extends out of the connector body 100. When the mating male connector is inserted along the insertion channel formed by the connector body 100, the boss provided on the male connector is engaged with the corresponding engagement groove provided on the latch 200. The male connector is inserted into place, and under the action of the guide slope, the latch 200 is opened. At this time, the first limit originally provided at the second end of the latch 200 will be released. Under the action of force, the latch 200 can move inward along the axis perpendicular to the connector body 100.

[0044] During the process of opening the latch 200, the latch 200 will clamp the male connector. When the operator presses the first end of the latch 200 inward, the latch 200 can retract into the connector body 100. At this time, the second end of the latch 200 reaches the second limit position, fixing the latch 200 inside the connector body 100, and completing the assembly of the female and male connectors. Therefore, when the first end of the latch 200 is equipped with the marking element 300, the connection relationship between the marking element 300 and the connector body 100 can be used to determine whether the female and male connectors are assembled, so as to avoid omissions or incomplete assembly. It should be noted that the first end of the latch refers to the end that can extend or retract into the connector body 100, and the second end of the latch refers to the end that is away from the first end of the latch and is located inside the connector body 100.

[0045] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the first state of the latch in the connector without the marking parts installed. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the second state of the latch in the connecting joint without the identification parts installed. (Refer to...) Figures 4-5 As shown, the latch 200 may include a connecting section 210 and legs 220 connected to both ends of the connecting section 210. The legs 220 may be made of elastic plastic. The connector body 100 is provided with a insertion channel for a male connector, and a positioning platform 130 for engaging with the legs 220 is provided at the end away from the connecting section 210. The positioning platform 130 includes [details omitted]. Furthermore, each of the two legs 220 facing the insertion channel has a guide protrusion 2201 and a supporting portion 2202. The supporting portion 2202 is located at the end of the leg 220 away from the connecting section 210 and abuts against the positioning platform 130.

[0046] In the first state (see Figure 4The connector body 100 is not assembled with the male connector, and the connecting section 210 extends out of the connector body 100, that is, the latch 200 extends out of the outer side wall of the connector body 100. The guide boss 2201 extends into the insertion channel. The outer end face of the holding part 2202 abuts against the inner end face of the positioning platform 130 provided on the connector body 100, preventing the latch 200 from moving inward, so as to maintain a stable connection with the connector body 100. At this time, the marking piece 300 can be locked onto the connector body 100 by the latch 200. It should be noted that the inner end face refers to the end face facing the center of the connector body, and the outer end face refers to the end face facing away from the center of the connector body and towards the outer side wall of the connector body.

[0047] When the male connector is inserted into the connector body 100 along the insertion channel, the guide protrusion 2201 on the support leg 220 is opened by the male connector. At this time, the outer end face of the holding part 2202 disengages from the inner end face of the positioning platform 130, releasing the abutment. Furthermore, as the male connector is inserted, the latch 200 holds the male connector tightly. When the operator applies an inward force to the connecting section 210 extending out of the connector body 100, under the action of the guide protrusion 2201, the holding part 2202 will slide along the outer contour of the positioning platform 130 until the inner end face of the holding part 2202 abuts against the outer end face of the positioning platform 130. At the same time, the groove provided on the inner arc segment of the connecting section 210 abuts against the limiting platform 120 provided inside the connector body 100, and the latch 200 is fixedly connected to the connector body 100.

[0048] At this point, latch 200 reaches the second state (see...). Figure 5 The male connector can be locked onto the connector body 100, completing the assembly of the male connector and the connector body 100. In the second state, the latch 200 retracts into the connector body 100, and the marking element 300 is released and can be detached from the connector body 100. It can be understood that whether the marking element 300 can be removed can determine whether the assembly of the female connector and the male connector is in place.

[0049] It should be noted that the above only explains the working principle of the latch 200, and does not limit the specific structure and connection relationship of the latch 200.

[0050] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an identification element provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A structural diagram of the marker in the image from another perspective. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of another identification element provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 for Figure 8 A structural diagram of the marker in the image from another perspective.

[0051] Reference Figures 6-9As shown, the identification element 300 is curved to match the outer diameter of the connector body 140 or the mating part 150. The identification element 300 includes a main body 310, on which an identification mark 3102 is provided. The identification mark 3102 can be used to trace the parameter information of the connector body 100. It should be noted that the parameter information may include connector specifications, connector type, production information (production batch, production date, production process), installation information, and manufacturer information, etc., which are not limited here. In addition, the identification mark 3102 can be set on the front, back, and side of the main body 310, which are not specifically limited here.

[0052] In some embodiments, the identification mark 3102 can be at least one of a two-dimensional identification code, barcode, serial number, or RFID tag. QR codes, barcodes, and RFID tags can store more information, such as production date, manufacturer, material composition, installation instructions, and compliance certifications. For connectors in high-value or critical applications, a single serial number combined with corresponding information can also be used for identification and tracking. By selecting and combining appropriate identification marks 3102, the management and maintenance of connectors can become more efficient and reliable.

[0053] For example, when the identification mark 3102 is a two-dimensional identification code, the operator can scan the two-dimensional identification code set on the main body 310 with a scanning device to quickly obtain detailed information and related documents of the connection joint, thereby realizing production traceability, installation guidance, quality control and inventory management of the connection joint.

[0054] The following explanation uses the identification mark 3102 as a two-dimensional identification code as an example. The main body 310 is provided with a clearance hole 3103, which corresponds to the latch 200. The latch 200 can move within the clearance hole 3103 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connector body 100. When the connector body 100 and the male connector are not assembled, the latch 200 can limit the vertical movement of the identification piece 300 through the clearance hole 3103. When the male connector and the connector body 100 are assembled, the latch 200 retracts into the connector body 100 and releases the vertical limitation on the identification piece 300, allowing the identification piece 300 to detach from the connector body 100. It should be noted that the clearance hole 3103 can also be configured to limit the horizontal movement of the identification piece 300; this is not limited here.

[0055] The identification mark 3102 can be disposed on the side surface of the identification piece 300 facing the connector body 100. With this arrangement, since the identification mark 3102 is disposed on the inner side of the main body 310 that mates with the connector body 100, dust can be isolated through the outer surface of the identification piece 300, and the dirt or wear of the identification mark 3102 caused by collisions, friction or splashes that may occur during transportation can be reduced.

[0056] Meanwhile, since the identification mark 3102 is set on the side surface of the identification piece 300 facing the connector body 100, the identification mark 3102 can only be obtained by removing the identification piece 300 after the connector body 100 and the male connector are assembled and the identification piece 300 is separated from the connector body 100. This can also prevent misoperation such as missing connectors from being caused by accidentally scanning the QR code when the connector body 100 and the male connector are not assembled, because the identification mark 3102 is placed in a visible position outside the identification piece 300.

[0057] A positioning groove 3101 may be provided on the surface of the main body 310 facing the connector body 100 (see...). Figure 9 As shown), the identification mark 3102 is located within the positioning groove 3101. Since the positioning groove 3101 is located on the inner side of the main body 310 that mates with the connector body 100, and the positioning groove 3101 has a certain depth, the identification mark 3102 set in the positioning groove 3101 will not directly contact the outer wall of the connector body 100, thereby preventing the two-dimensional identification code from being worn or damaged and losing its effectiveness.

[0058] As one implementation method, the identification mark 3102 can be engraved in the positioning groove 3101. The engraving method can be various, such as laser engraving, inkjet engraving, and electrochemical etching, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0059] The identification component 300 also includes a snap-fit ​​portion 320, which protrudes from the surface of the main body portion 310 facing the connector body 100 and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the identification component 300. A snap-fit ​​groove 110 is provided on the outer side wall of the connector body 100, and the snap-fit ​​portion 320 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 110.

[0060] By engaging the snap-fit ​​portion 320 in the identification element 300 with the snap-fit ​​groove 110 on the connector body 100, the connection strength between the identification element 300 and the connector body 100 can be enhanced, preventing the identification element 300 from detaching from the connector body 100 due to external impact. It is understood that the snap-fit ​​groove 110 can be provided on the connector body 140 or on the mating part 150.

[0061] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​groove 110 is disposed on the mating member 150, and the snap-fit ​​groove 110 can be configured to correspond to the shape of the snap-fit ​​portion 320, so that the upper end face and side wall face of the snap-fit ​​portion 320 abut against the upper end face and inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 110, thereby limiting the positioning of the marking member 300 in the left-right direction and improving the stability of the connection (see...). Figure 1 (As shown). It should be noted that the directions of up, down, left, right, and side here are... Figure 1 The orientation of the paper in the image.

[0062] In other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​groove 110 may also be formed by the contour of the outer wall of the connector body 140 itself, so that the snap-fit ​​portion 320 can snap onto the outer wall of the connector body 140, thereby expanding the application scenarios of the marking member 300. (See also...) Figure 2 (As shown)

[0063] The angle between the protruding direction of the snap-fit ​​portion 320 and the tangential direction of the main body portion 310 at the location of the snap-fit ​​portion 320 can be less than 90°. This arrangement allows the snap-fit ​​portion 320 to fasten inward to the connector body 100, further enhancing the connection strength and preventing the identification piece 300 from falling off and being lost, thus preventing the loss of connector information.

[0064] Continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the marking member 300 also includes a gripping part 330, which is connected to the side surface of the main body 310 opposite to the connector body 100, and there is a gap between the gripping part 330 and the outer wall surface of the connector body 100.

[0065] By providing a gripping part 330 on the outside of the marking part 300, after the connector body 100 and the male connector are assembled, the latch 200 retracts into the connector body 100. At this time, since there is a gap between the gripping part 330 and the outer wall of the connector body 100, the operator can apply a downward force to the gripping part 330 to release the connection between the locking part 320 and the outer wall of the connector body 100, thereby allowing the marking part 300 to be removed from the connector body 100.

[0066] Furthermore, to further enhance the ease of disassembling the marker 300, a force-receiving hole 3301 may be provided on the grip 330. The shape of the force-receiving hole 3301 may be square, oval, or irregular, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0067] Operators can apply downward force to the force-receiving hole 3301 on the grip 330 to remove the identification piece 300, thereby obtaining the QR code on the main body 310. By scanning the code, the operator can obtain the connector's parameter information, such as connector specifications, connector model, connector production batch, production time, and manufacturing process. At the same time, the operator can also record the connector's inventory usage and corresponding installation status to avoid omissions or misinstallations.

[0068] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 6 as well as Figure 7As shown, the grip portion 330 can be configured as a pull ring 3302, which is connected to the outer wall of the main body portion 310. The pull ring 3302 also has a force-receiving hole 3301 for applying force by hand. Correspondingly, to improve user comfort, within the area enclosed by the force-receiving hole 3301, the main body portion 310 can be provided with a finger-passing accommodating hole 3104 to provide operating space and prevent obstruction by the main body portion 310 of the marker 300 from affecting the application of force. It is understood that the accommodating hole 3104 can be configured as a semi-circular, square, circular, or other shapes, and is not specifically limited here.

[0069] The pull ring 3302 can be detachably or non-detachably connected to the main body 310. For example, the pull ring 3302 can be directly welded to the outer wall surface of the main body 310. This method is simple, provides a stable connection, and is low in cost. Alternatively, the pull ring 3302 can be detachably connected to the outer wall surface of the main body 310 using bolts or pins, allowing for timely replacement in case of damage. No specific limitations are placed on the connection method here.

[0070] As another implementation method, refer to Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 As shown. The grip portion 330 may include a boss protruding from the surface of the main body portion 310 and a force-receiving hole 3301 disposed adjacent to the boss. The boss provides a gripping area for the operator, and the force-receiving hole 3301 provides a force-receiving area, making the removal and removal of the identification piece 300 more convenient.

[0071] In some embodiments, the identification element 300 may be made of a plastic or metal material with a certain degree of elasticity to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the identification element 300 from the connector body 100; no specific limitation is made here. Furthermore, to improve the recognizability of the identification element 300 and remind operators to remove it promptly for scanning connector information, the identification element 300 may be painted in a different color to distinguish it from the connector body 100 and avoid misoperation.

[0072] This application provides an identifiable connector, including a connector body 100, a latch 200 movably connected to the connector body 100, and an identification element 300 detachably connected to the outer side wall of the connector body 100.

[0073] The identification element 300 includes a main body 310 with an identification mark 3102, which can be used to trace parameter information of the connector body 100. The latch 200 is movable along an axis perpendicular to the connector body 100. When the latch 200 extends beyond the outer wall of the connector body 100, the identification element 300 is locked to the connector body 100. When the latch 200 retracts into the connector body 100, the identification element 300 is released and can detach from the connector body 100.

[0074] This setup not only allows for the determination of the assembly status of the connector body 100 and the male connector based on the relative positional changes of the latch 200 and the identification piece 300, but also enables the following through the identification mark 3102 set on the identification piece 300: (1) Traceability of the production batch, production date, production process, and other information for each connector. This helps to quickly locate the source of the problem and carry out effective quality control and improvement when quality issues arise. (2) During the production and assembly process, workers or robots can quickly identify parts through the identification mark 3102, reducing the risk of manual input errors and improving production efficiency.
