[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art can understand that, in the embodiments of the present application, many technical details are presented in order to make the readers better understand the present application. However, the technical solutions claimed by the present application can be implemented even without these technical details and based on various changes and modifications of the following embodiments. The following embodiments are classified for the purpose of description, and should not constitute any limitation on the specific embodiments of the present application, and the embodiments can be combined and referenced with each other without contradiction.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application; the description and the claims of this application and the above description of drawings, the terms "comprising" and "having", as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover not exclusively including.

In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited.

[0027] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the technical terms "mounting", "connecting", "connecting" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] The working principle of the traditional pneumatic and electrical integrated quick connector is that during the insertion process, the plug part (including pneumatic and electrical pins) of the connector is accurately inserted into the socket part (including pneumatic and electrical sockets), and stable connection is achieved through the locking mechanism. The structure uses more bolt connections, and has more sealing rings, and the temporary space size is larger, which is relatively limited in use, and the production cost is higher; in addition, it cannot be connected without difference in 360° during installation, which is not convenient for manual and robot operation, and the conventional electrical connection part adopts pin mode, which is easy to damage and deform during plugging, affecting signal transmission, resulting in large deviation of collected data.

[0029] Therefore, in view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the embodiments of the present application optimize the conventional pneumatic and electrical integrated quick connector, and improve the connection efficiency, working efficiency, reliability, stability, flexibility and diversity of the pneumatic and electrical integrated quick connector. The structure is redesigned and arranged, the electrical male head terminal adopts a ring structure, the male head and the female head are connected by a buckle structure, and 360° non-discriminatory installation and connection are achieved. The male head and the female head are connected by glue, avoiding more bolt connections, making the structure simpler, smaller in size, and reducing the cost.

[0030] The following describes some embodiments of the present application. Figures 1 to 5 An efficient heat sink is provided.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 The embodiments of the present application provide a pneumatic and electrical integrated quick connector, which comprises:

[0032] The plug part comprises a plug shell 1, and a male part 3 is arranged outside the plug shell 1.

[0033] The socket part comprises a socket shell 2 arranged in pairs with the plug shell 1, and a female part 4 is arranged on the socket shell; a clamping block structure is arranged inside the female part 4, and a clamping groove structure is arranged outside the male part 3, and the male part 3 and the female part 4 are electrically connected through the clamping block structure and the clamping groove structure while being clamped.

[0034] It should be noted that the plug shell 1 is made of 316L stainless steel material, which is more compatible with hydrogen. The socket shell 2 is made of 6061 aluminum alloy as the material, which has good compatibility with hydrogen, and the material itself is very light, which is convenient for operation. The male part 3 and the female part 4 use copper sheets as the material for signal transmission, which ensures good electrical conductivity.

[0035] In some embodiments, the clamping groove structure is at least one annular groove 6, and the clamping block structure is at least one group of U-shaped spring tabs 5.

[0036] It should be noted that the design of the annular groove 6 ensures that it can be installed and connected in 360° without difference, and can be flexibly operated without orientation restriction problem. In specific application, the number of groups of U-shaped spring tabs 5 is the same as the number of annular grooves 6, each group includes a plurality of U-shaped spring tabs 5 to ensure the connection of the male part 3 and the female part 4. When a plurality of annular grooves 6 are arranged, the cross section of the male part 3 is arranged as a trapezoid inclined to the female part 4, so that different annular grooves 6 are located at different heights, which increases the fixation while preventing the U-shaped spring tab 5 from being clamped after entering the nearest annular groove 6.

[0037] In some embodiments, the male part 3 is connected to the plug shell 1 by glue, and the female part 4 is connected to the socket shell 2 by glue.

[0038] It should be noted that a spiral check ring 11 is also arranged to fix and limit the male part 3. The connection by glue avoids more bolt connections, so that the structure is simpler and the volume is smaller.

[0039] In some embodiments, the male part 3 is also provided with a first O-ring 7 for clamping with the female part 4.

[0040] In some embodiments, a plurality of second O-rings 8 are arranged on the plug shell 1 for clamping with the socket shell 2.

[0041] It should be noted that the first O-ring 7 is used to ensure the connection of the male head and the female head by friction, and the plurality of second O-rings 8 are used to seal the connection of the plug housing 1 and the socket housing 2 as much as possible. This connection mode not only has high reliability, but also is very convenient to operate, greatly improving the work efficiency. The O-rings are made of EPDM material, which is more compatible with hydrogen.

[0042] In some embodiments, the male head component 3 is provided with a male head lead 9, and the female head component 4 is provided with a female head lead 10.

[0043] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the plug housing 1 includes a plug cavity penetrating through the side close to the socket component and the opposite side, and the socket housing 2 includes a socket cavity penetrating through the side close to the plug component. When the plug housing 1 and the socket housing 2 are connected, the plug cavity and the socket cavity are communicated.

[0044] The side wall of the socket housing 4 is provided with an opening, which is communicated with the socket cavity.

[0045] It should be noted that the communication of the plug cavity and the socket cavity ensures the connection of the gas path in the quick plug connector, and then the opening communicated with the socket cavity is used to realize the connection with the gas path of other devices.

[0046] Those skilled in the art can understand that the above-mentioned embodiments are specific examples for implementing the present application, and in actual application, various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
