Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically, to an automotive pipe fitting. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, pipe fittings, as important connection and transmission components, are widely used in many key areas such as fuel systems, cooling systems, and braking systems. During the production and assembly process, as well as the subsequent storage and transportation stages, these pipe fittings must maintain their internal cleanliness to prevent the entry of debris, dust, or moisture, which could affect the performance and service life of the pipe fittings.
[0003] During the production, storage, and transportation of pipe fittings, environmental factors can easily cause debris and dust to enter the interior, leading to blockages, wear, or performance degradation during use. Traditional sealing methods often rely on manual operation, such as using plugs or tape for temporary sealing. These methods are not only cumbersome but also have unstable sealing effects, easily falling off during transportation or storage, and cannot effectively ensure the internal cleanliness of the pipe fittings. To address these problems, this device was invented. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] Example:
[0025] See attached document Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment of an automotive pipe fitting includes a pipe fitting body 1 and connecting blocks 2 fixedly connected to both ends of the pipe fitting body 1. The connecting blocks 2 are used to connect with other components. The connecting blocks 2 are made of aluminum alloy material to reduce weight while maintaining good strength and toughness. Multiple bolt holes 3 are provided on the connecting blocks 2.
[0026] See attached document Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A sealing mechanism 4 is provided on the outside of the connecting block 2. The sealing mechanism 4 includes a fixing block 401 and a connecting component 402. The diameter of the fixing block 401 is equal to the diameter of the connecting block 2. A plug 403 and a positioning post 404 are fixedly installed on the inner end of the fixing block 401. The diameter of the plug 403 is equal to the inner diameter of the pipe body 1, ensuring the tightness of the sealing. The diameter of the positioning post 404 is equal to the inner diameter of the bolt hole 3, and the number of positioning posts 404 and bolt holes 3 is equal. The fixing block 401, plug 403 and positioning post 404 are all made of wear-resistant alloy steel to ensure long-term stability and durability. An installation groove 405 is opened in the middle of the fixing block 401. A connecting groove 407 is opened on both sides of the fixing block 401, and the connecting grooves 407 on both sides are connected to the installation groove 405. A gasket 406 is fixedly installed in the middle of the installation groove 405. The gasket 406 is vertically set.
[0027] See attached document Figures 3-5The connecting assembly 402 includes springs 4021 fixedly installed on both sides of the gasket 406. The springs 4021 are made of stainless steel spring steel. A connecting piece 4022 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the spring 4021. A toggle piece 4023 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting piece 4022. The outer wall surface of the toggle piece 4023 is processed with anti-slip texture. The anti-slip texture increases the friction between the toggle piece 4023 and the operator's palm, which is conducive to the operator to toggle the toggle pieces 4023 on both sides. A limiting piece 4024 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the connecting piece 4022. The limiting piece 4024 has a "[" shaped structure and is slidably connected to the connecting groove 407.
[0028] In use, the operator first moves the two actuating plates 4023 on both sides, causing them to move in opposite directions. This allows for quick positioning using the bolt holes 3 and positioning posts 404. Then, the plug 403 is aligned with the pipe body 1 and the connecting block 2 and inserted to seal the pipe body 1. Once the connecting block 2 and the fixing block 401 are in contact, the actuating plates 4023 are released. Under the elastic action of the springs 4021 on both sides, the actuating plates 4023 on both sides move towards each other, causing the connecting plates 4022 and the limiting plates 4024 on both sides to move towards each other. The limiting plates 4024 on both sides move along the connecting grooves 407 on both sides, and their inner walls fit against the connecting block 2, thus achieving the connection between the connecting block 2 and the fixing block 401.
[0029] This application achieves effective sealing of the pipe body 1 by setting a sealing mechanism 4. The design of the spring 4021 and the actuating plate 4023 in the connecting assembly 402 allows the operator to quickly install and remove the sealing mechanism 4 by actuating the actuating plate 4023. The elasticity of the spring 4021 allows the limiting plate 4024 to automatically fit with the connecting block 2, simplifying the installation process and improving the convenience of operation.
[0030] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
