TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to spraying equipment technical field relates to a connection structure of spraying cup and spray gun, especially a cup cover assembly device and adapter. BACKGROUND
[0002] The current spray gun mainly adopts the pneumatic mode to atomize paint and then sprays, so paint needs to be provided to the spray gun. At present, a common way is to connect a paint supply cup to the spray gun. This way can ensure that the supply cup and the spray gun move simultaneously and that paint is continuously pressed into the spray gun by gravity and then sprayed out after being atomized by compressed gas. The liquid outlet of the paint supply cup is connected to the spray gun through a connecting nut (or adapter), so it can be seen that ensuring good cooperation between the paint supply cup and the connecting nut (or adapter) is an important prerequisite for effective paint supply. In addition, the convenient disassembly and assembly of the paint supply cup and the connecting nut (or adapter) are also one of the considerations of the qualification standard.
[0003] For example, the wide-mouth fluid connector for a handheld spray gun, spray gun reservoir connector system is disclosed in Chinese patent document AU2017207357B2. The system includes a reservoir cap, a spray gun inlet, and complementary first and second connector formats. The first and second connector formats are equipped with one of the cap or the spray gun inlet. The first format includes a plurality of retention structures, each defining a capture region. The retention structures are collectively arranged in a circular pattern. The second format includes a plurality of locking structures, each including a grommet body configured to selectively engage with the capture regions. The connector formats are configured to provide a wedge-shaped engagement between the locking structures and the corresponding retention structures as the spray gun inlet is rotated relative to the cap. The cap can include a spray opening. The retention and locking structures are radially spaced apart outside the spray opening, and the spray opening can have an inner diameter of no less than 22 mm.
[0004] In the above technical solution, the reservoir cap and the adapter are matched through the complementary first and second connector formats, and the first and second connector formats form a locking assembly through wedge-shaped engagement. As shown in its accompanying Figure 10 And 11 The locking structure as the connector format is disclosed in the specification, which has a wedge-shaped locking surface. The expansion height of the end 336 of the locking structure to the second end 338, i.e., the position of the second end 338 is low in the wedge angle to form a locking position, and the position of the end 336 is high in the wedge angle to form a disengagement position. The stopper 334 is arranged at the second end 338 (locking position). When the first and second connector formats are wedge-shaped locked, the stopper 334 at the locking position is limited to stop the screwing action in the locking direction.
[0005] As shown in its accompanying Figure 10Obviously, the wedge-shaped body 362 of the support body 360 can correspond to the gasket body 332 entering the locking structure, when one end of the wedge-shaped body 362 is screwed to the locking position, and at the same time, the end of the wedge-shaped body 362 presses the stop body 334 to form a stop, because the adapter is usually made of steel metal, and the locking structure on the liquid reservoir cover is integrally injection molded by plastic, the second end 338 of the locking structure is subjected to wedge extrusion and limiting pressure at the same time, after repeated cooperation for a long time, the locking and positioning stress can easily cause the second end 338 to be damaged due to fatigue, resulting in problems such as wear, deformation and the like, and then the cooperation is misaligned, and problems such as tightness and firmness of the connection are reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] The following is a specific embodiment of the present application and further describes the technical solution of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.
[0039] As Figures 1 to 11 shown, the cup cover assembly device comprises a cover body 1 and an adapter 6, a first connecting feature is arranged on the liquid outlet 2 of the cover body 1, a second connecting feature is arranged in the inlet 6a area of the adapter 6, the first connecting feature and the second connecting feature are wedge-shaped combined to connect the cover body 1 and the adapter 6, the liquid outlet 2 of the cover body 1 and the inlet 6a of the adapter 6 are matched with a bidirectional limiting mechanism, the first connecting feature and the second connecting feature are combined to a locked state, the bidirectional limiting mechanism is stopped at the locking limiting point 3d, the first connecting feature and the second connecting feature are separated from each other, and the bidirectional limiting mechanism is stopped at the disassembly limiting point 3e.
[0040] Through the screwing action, the first connecting feature and the second connecting feature are gradually transitioned from the gap matching area to the locking matching area, and the bidirectional limiting mechanism is exactly stopped for screwing in to prevent misalignment and tripping caused by excessive force during screwing in, thereby effectively protecting the connecting features. Through the unscrewing action, the first connecting feature and the second connecting feature are gradually transitioned from the locking matching area to the gap matching area, and finally the two are completely separated, and the bidirectional limiting mechanism is exactly stopped for unscrewing, thereby achieving precise positioning to directly implement two opposite forces to quickly separate the two, thereby improving the disassembly efficiency.
[0041] As Figure 1 and 8As shown, preferably, the outer circumference of the outlet 2 of the cover 1 is divided into locking areas 2a and limiting areas 2b. One end of the locking area 2a is a locking end 3b, and the other end of the locking area 2a is a separation end 3c. One end of the limiting area 2b is a locking limiting point 3d, and the other end of the limiting area 2b is a disassembly limiting point 3e. The locking end 3b of the locking area 2a corresponds to the disassembly limiting point 3e of the limiting area 2b, and the separation end 3c of the locking area 2a corresponds to the locking limiting point 3d of the limiting area 2b.
[0042] The locking end 3b of the locking area 2a corresponds to the disassembly limiting point 3e of the limiting area 2b, specifically, the two different functional features of the locking end 3b and the disassembly limiting point 3e are located at the same position. The separation end 3c of the locking area 2a corresponds to the locking limiting point 3d of the limiting area 2b, specifically, the two different functional features of the separation end 3c and the locking limiting point 3d are located at the same position.
[0043] The locking area 2a and the limiting area 2b are alternately arranged, that is, one limiting area 2b is arranged between two locking areas 2a, and one locking area 2a is arranged between two limiting areas 2b. When the rotation-in or rotation-out action is performed, the first connecting feature and the second connecting feature rotate relative to each other, synchronously driving the bidirectional limiting mechanism to rotate, so that when the first connecting feature and the second connecting feature are locked in place, the bidirectional limiting mechanism is matched to the locking limiting point 3d at the same time; when the first connecting feature and the second connecting feature are separated, the bidirectional limiting mechanism is matched to the disassembly limiting point 3e at the same time.
[0044] As shown in Figure 1 and 8 As shown, preferably, the first connecting feature is a wedge-shaped section 3 arranged on the outer circumference of the outlet 2. The surface of the wedge-shaped section 3 facing the surface of the cover 1 is a wedge-shaped surface 3a. The wedge-shaped surface 3a gradually approaches the cover 1 to form a locking end 3b at the low end point, and gradually moves away from the cover 1 to form a separation end 3c at the high end point. The outlet 2 is a circular pipe interface. Two arc-shaped protrusions are symmetrically distributed on the outer circumferential wall of the circular pipe interface to form the wedge-shaped section 3. The lower surface of the wedge-shaped section 3 is inclined at a certain angle to form the wedge-shaped surface 3a. The area between the wedge-shaped surface 3a and the cover 1 is the locking area 2a. The outer wall of the outlet 2 between the two adjacent wedge-shaped sections 3 forms the limiting area 2b.
[0045] As shown in Figures 5 to 7 The second connecting feature is a hook 8 arranged on the inlet area of the adapter 6. The hook 8 is combined with the wedge-shaped surface 3a of the wedge-shaped section 3 through a clamping surface 8a. A platform 7 is arranged on the inlet 6a of the adapter 6. Two hooks 8 are protruded on the bottom surface of the platform 7, and the two hooks 8 are centrally symmetrically arranged.
[0046] Preferably, the hook 8 has a hook body bent towards the central axis of the adapter 6, and the surface of the hook body towards the inlet direction of the adapter 6 is a clamping surface 8a, which is specifically a flat surface or an inclined surface. The clamping surface 8a can be provided as a flat surface, which forms a wedge-shaped locking with the wedge surface 3a through point contact; or the clamping surface 8a can be provided as an inclined surface, which forms a wedge-shaped locking with the wedge surface 3a through surface contact, so that the locking strength of surface contact is greater.
[0047] As shown in Figures 1 to 7 Preferably, the bidirectional limiting mechanism includes a limiting block 9 provided on the adapter 6, the limiting block 9 is arranged in the inlet area of the adapter 6, one side of the limiting block 9 is provided with a locking stop surface 9a, and the other side of the limiting block 9 is provided with a disassembly stop surface 9b, the wedge surface 3a gradually forms a locking limiting point 3d away from the cover body 1 to the high position end point, and the wedge surface 3a gradually forms a disassembly limiting point 3e close to the cover body 1 to the low position end point, the locking stop surface 9a of the limiting block 9 contacts the locking limiting point 3d to form a locking stop state, and the disassembly stop surface 9b of the limiting block 9 contacts the disassembly limiting point 3e to form a disassembly stop state.
[0048] As shown in Figure 2 and 9 The first connecting feature has an assembly stroke greater than the length of the second connecting feature, and the second connecting feature is spaced apart from the bidirectional limiting mechanism by a positioning distance 6c. In the wedge-shaped combined state, part of the body of the first connecting feature extends out of the second connecting feature and is located in the positioning distance 6c.
[0049] The second connecting feature is designed to be separated from the bidirectional limiting mechanism, so that the bidirectional limiting mechanism can provide two different direction limiting features. The length of the first connecting feature is the length of the assembly stroke, and the total length of the second connecting feature connecting the positioning distance is equal to the length of the assembly stroke, so that when the first connecting feature reaches the locking end, the bidirectional limiting mechanism just reaches the locking limiting point.
[0050] As shown in Figures 5 to 7 The platform 7 is provided on the inlet 6a of the adapter 6, two limiting blocks 9 are protruded on the bottom surface of the platform 7, the two limiting blocks 9 are arranged in central symmetry, one hook 8 cooperates with one limiting block 9 to form a group, and the hook 8 and the limiting block 9 are arranged alternately. Figures 1 to 4As shown, a reasonable distance is set between the hook 8 and the limiting block 9 in each group. When the cover 1 and the adapter 6 are connected and rotated clockwise, the hook 8 rotates along the locking area 2a, simultaneously causing the limiting block 9 to rotate forward within the limiting area 2b, until the locking stop surface 9a of the limiting block 9 contacts the locking limit point 3d of the wedge segment 3, stopping the adapter 6 from continuing to rotate clockwise. The hook surface 8a of the hook 8 and the wedge surface 3a of the wedge segment 3 are just locked in place. When the connected cover 1 and adapter 6 are rotated counterclockwise, the hook 8 rotates in the opposite direction along the locking area 2a, simultaneously causing the limiting block 9 to rotate within the limiting area 2b, until the split stop surface 9b of the limiting block 9 contacts the split limit point 3e of the wedge segment 3, stopping the adapter 6 from continuing to rotate counterclockwise. The hook surface 8a of the hook 8 and the wedge surface 3a of the wedge segment 3 are completely disengaged, and the adapter 6 is pulled off the cover 1.
[0051] like Figures 8 to 11 As shown, in a further optimized implementation, the inlet 6a of the adapter 6 protrudes from the outer periphery of the first connecting structure, and a second connecting structure is provided on the outer wall of the cover 1. The inlet 6a of the adapter 6 is sleeved onto the outlet 2 of the cover 1 and rotates, and the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure form an axial limit.
[0052] Preferably, the first connecting structure is a platform 7 arranged around the inlet 6a. The top surface of the platform 7 is a limiting surface 7a. The bottom surface of the platform 7 is provided with a second connecting feature and a bidirectional limiting mechanism. The second connecting structure is a claw 4 arranged around the outlet 2. The claw 4 has a support body 4a. The top of the support body 4a protrudes into the claw head 4b towards the outlet 2. The bottom surface of the claw head 4b facing the cover 1 is a limiting surface 4c. The inlet 6a of the adapter 6 is connected to the outlet 2 of the cover 1. The limiting surface 4c and the limiting surface 7a form a stop fit.
[0053] The platform 7 protruding from the outer periphery of the adapter 6 inlet 6a resembles a flange structure and is roughly an annular plate. Platform 7 provides space for the arrangement of the hooks 8 and the limiting blocks 9, and also provides a stop surface for the claws 4. There are two claws 4, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outlet 2. The limiting surface 4c of the claw 4 can be either a plane or an inclined plane; when the limiting surface 4c is a plane, a clearance fit is formed between the planar limiting surface 4c and the limiting surface 7a when the adapter 6 and the cover 1 rotate relative to each other; when the limiting surface 4c is an inclined plane, the inclined limiting surface 4c and the limiting surface 7a gradually press together to form an interference fit after the relative rotation of the adapter 6 and the cover 1.
[0054] like Figures 5 to 11As shown, preferably, the platform 7 is provided with a notch 7b between the second connecting feature and the bidirectional limiting mechanism, and the claw head 4b is matched with the notch 7b to guide the limiting surface one 7a of the platform 7. The bottom surface of the platform 7 is centrally symmetrically provided with two groups of clamping hooks 8 and limiting blocks 9, and the part of the platform 7 between each group of clamping hooks 8 and limiting blocks 9 forms a notch 7b, and each notch 7b corresponds to a clamping claw 4. Two effects are achieved through the notch 7b: first, the depth of the notch 7b corresponds to the elongated part of the claw head 4b, and the notch 7b is aligned with the clamping claw 4 during docking, and the notch 7b provides a space for the clamping claw 4 to allow the clamping claw 4 to pass through the notch 7b to the upper side of the platform 7, and then through the rotating movement, the clamping claw 4 is dislocated with the notch 7b, and the limiting surface two 4c of the clamping claw 4 enters the limiting surface one 7a of the platform 7 to form a stop cooperation. Second, the notch 7b forms a recess structure on the circumferential contour of the platform 7, and when the adapter 6 and the cover body 1 are manually screwed, the fingers can be embedded in the notch 7b to perform screwing force, thereby avoiding slipping, reducing locking force, and ensuring the locking effect.
[0055] As shown in the drawings, Figure 8 Preferably, the center arrangement point of the clamping claw 4 and the center arrangement point of the first connecting feature have an included angle with the axis of the liquid outlet 2 as the center. Around the axis of the liquid outlet 2, the two wedge-shaped segments 3 are separated by 180°, the two clamping claws 4 are separated by 180°, and the adjacent wedge-shaped segment 3 and the clamping claw 4 are separated by 90°. The two wedge-shaped segments 3 and the two clamping claws 4 form a cross point around the liquid outlet 2, so that after the cover body 1 and the adapter 6 are docked and locked, four different point axial locking points are formed. Even if the adapter 6 is moved in an inclined direction, the coaxiality of the adapter 6 and the liquid outlet 2 can be ensured, and the stability and firmness of the connection between the adapter 6 and the cover body 1 are improved.
[0056] As shown in the drawings, Figures 5 to 7 An adapter, one end of the adapter 6 is an inlet 6a, and the other end is an outlet 6b. The inlet 6a is a port for liquid to flow in, and the outlet 6b is a port for liquid to flow out. The inlet 6a is connected with the liquid outlet 2 of the cover body 1, and the outlet 6b is connected with the liquid supply port of the spray gun 13.
[0057] The inlet 6a region of the adapter 6 is provided with a second connecting feature and a bidirectional limiting mechanism. The second connecting feature is matched with the first connecting feature of the cover body 1. The first connecting feature and the second connecting feature are combined to a locked state. The bidirectional limiting mechanism is stopped at a locking limiting point 3d. The first connecting feature and the second connecting feature are separated from each other, and the bidirectional limiting mechanism is stopped at a disassembly limiting point 3e.
[0058] The second connecting feature is spaced apart from the bidirectional limiting mechanism by a positioning distance 6c, the second connecting feature is a clamping hook 8 with a clamping surface 8a, one end of the clamping surface 8a is a locking point 8b, and the other end of the clamping surface 8a is a separation point 8c; the bidirectional limiting mechanism comprises a limiting block 9, one side of the limiting block 9 is provided with a locking stop surface 9a, and the other side of the limiting block 9 is provided with a disassembly stop surface 9b; as shown in Figures 5 to 7 The positioning distance 6c is arranged between the separation point 8c and the locking stop surface 9a.
[0059] The adapter 6 is provided with two groups of clamping hooks 8 and two groups of limiting blocks 9, each group of clamping hooks 8 has two center-symmetrical clamping hooks 8, each group of limiting blocks 9 has two center-symmetrical limiting blocks 9, the two clamping hooks 8 and the two limiting blocks 9 are alternately arranged around the inlet 6a of the adapter 6, the locking point 8b of the clamping surface 8a is opposite to the disassembly stop surface 9b of the adjacent limiting block 9, and the separation point 8c of the clamping surface 8a is opposite to the locking stop surface 9a of the adjacent limiting block 9. Thus, when the adapter 6 is locked and matched with the cover body 1, the clamping surface 8a of the clamping hook 8 is gradually rotated into the locking area 2a of the liquid outlet 2 of the cover body 1, the clamping surface 8a is gradually wedge-shapedly combined with the wedge surface 3a, and then the locking point 8b is synchronously rotated clockwise to the stop position with the locking stop surface 9a; when the adapter 6 is disengaged from the cover body 1, the clamping surface 8a of the clamping hook 8 is gradually rotated out of the locking area 2a of the liquid outlet 2 of the cover body 1, and after the clamping surface 8a is completely separated from the wedge surface 3a, the disassembly stop surface 9b is rotated counterclockwise to the stop position.
[0060] The assembly method of the cup cover assembly device is as follows:
[0061] As shown in Figure 8 1, the adapter 6 and the liquid outlet 2 of the cover body 1 are kept on the same axis, and the angles of the two are aligned, that is, the two notches 7b and the two clamping jaws 4 are one-to-one corresponding, each group of clamping hooks 8 and limiting blocks 9 corresponds to a limiting area 2b, the liquid outlet 2 of the cover body 1 is butted against the inlet 6a of the adapter 6, and the clamping jaw 4 passes through the notch 7b to reach above the platform 7.
