[0054] Reference Figures 3 to 11 As shown, this embodiment provides a quick-connect connector, which includes a mounting base 100, an adapter 200, and a mating connector 300.

[0055] Specifically, the mounting base 100 has a mounting channel 101 that extends through the mounting base 100; the adapter 200 has an adapter channel 201 that extends through the adapter 200, the adapter 200 has a first end, the first end of the adapter 200 is provided with an adapter snap-fit ​​part 210, the mounting base 100 has a first end and a second end, the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210 passes through the mounting channel 101 from the second end of the mounting base 100 and snaps with the first end of the mounting base 100; the mating connector 300 has a first end, the first end of the mating connector 300 is provided with a mating snap-fit ​​part 310, the adapter 200 also has a second end, the mating snap-fit ​​part 310 passes through the adapter channel 201 from the second end of the adapter 200 and snaps with the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210.

[0056] In this embodiment, the mounting base 100 is fixed to the connected component (such as a container), and the adapter 200 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 100 via the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210. When the adapter 200 has a quality problem, it can be removed from the mounting base 100 and replaced. The mating connector 300 also has a second end, which is connected to the pipe fitting and snapped together by the mating snap-fit ​​part 310 and the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210, so that the mating connector 300 can be detachably inserted into the adapter 200 to realize the communication between the pipe fitting and the container. When the mating connector 300 has a quality problem, it can be removed from the adapter 200 and replaced. Furthermore, the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210 passes through the mounting channel 101 from the second end of the mounting base 100 and snaps into the first end of the mounting base 100, and the mating snap-fit ​​part 310 passes through the adapter channel 201 from the second end of the adapter 200 and snaps into the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210. This can reduce the overall length of the quick connector, effectively reduce the space occupied by the stacking of quick connectors, reduce transportation costs, and is suitable for applications with high integration requirements.

[0057] In this embodiment, the adapter 200 and the mating connector 300 can be combined into one, that is, the adapter 200 and the mating connector 300 are integrally formed, which can reduce the number of components of the quick-connect connector and simplify the structure of the quick-connect connector.

[0058] It is understood that the fitting 300 includes a fitting channel 301, which extends through the fitting 300. Gas or liquid in the container can flow into the pipe fitting through the fitting channel 301, or gas or liquid in the pipe fitting can flow into the container through the fitting channel 301. The second end of the fitting 300 can be designed in various forms to match different pipe fittings.

[0059] For example, the first end of the mounting base 100, the first end of the adapter 200, and the first end of the mating connector 300 are oriented in the same direction, and the second end of the mounting base 100, the second end of the adapter 200, and the second end of the mating connector 300 are oriented in the same direction.

[0060] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210 includes a plurality of first snap hooks 211 spaced apart around the adapter channel 201. The first end of the mounting base 100 and the mating snap-fit ​​part 310 are both snapped into the first snap hooks 211. In this embodiment, the arrangement of the plurality of first snap hooks 211 can ensure that the connection between the adapter 200 and the mating connector 300, as well as the connection between the adapter 200 and the mounting base 100, is stable and reliable.

[0061] Specifically, the first hook 211 includes a first hook-shaped portion 2111 and a second hook-shaped portion 2112. The first hook-shaped portion 2111 engages with the mating engagement portion 310, and the second hook-shaped portion 2112 engages with the first end of the mounting base 100. In this embodiment, the first hook-shaped portion 2111 and the second hook-shaped portion 2112 are integrated into the first hook 211, resulting in a compact structure and effectively reducing the size of the adapter 200.

[0062] Specifically, the mating snap-fit ​​portion 310 includes a plurality of snap-fit ​​grooves 311 spaced apart circumferentially along the mating connector 300. A first hook-shaped portion 2111 is correspondingly provided with each snap-fit ​​groove 311, and the first hook-shaped portion 2111 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 311, facilitating the insertion of the mating connector 300 into the adapter connector 200. Of course, the mating snap-fit ​​portion 310 can also be a protrusion or other structure that engages with the first hook-shaped portion 2111; this embodiment does not limit the specific configuration.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the first hook-shaped part 2111 engages with the slot 311, since the first hook-shaped part 2111 and the slot 311 correspond one-to-one, rotating the mating connector 300 relative to the adapter connector 200 can disengage the first hook-shaped part 2111 from the slot 311, that is, the mating engagement part 310 and the adapter engagement part 210 are disengaged, which facilitates the separation of the mating connector 300 and the adapter connector 200.

[0064] For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the slot 311 gradually decreases along the direction of insertion of the mating connector 300 toward the adapter connector 200, effectively preventing the first hook-shaped part 2111 from disengaging from the slot 311 along the direction of insertion of the mating connector 300 relative to the adapter connector 200.

[0065] Exemplarily, the first hook-shaped portion 2111 includes a first plane 21111, and the slot 311 includes a second plane (not shown). The side of the first plane 21111 facing away from the second end of the adapter 200 abuts against the side of the second plane facing the second end of the mating connector 300, effectively preventing the first hook-shaped portion 2111 from disengaging from the slot 311 along the direction in which the mating connector 300 is inserted relative to the adapter 200. Exemplarily, both the first plane 21111 and the second plane are perpendicular to the direction in which the mating connector 300 is inserted relative to the adapter 200; or along the radial direction of the quick-connect connector from the inside to the outside, both the first plane 21111 and the second plane are inclined toward the second end of the adapter 200.

[0066] Exemplarily, the first hook-shaped portion 2111 further includes a first guide structure 21112 to facilitate the insertion of the mating connector 300 into the adapter connector 200. Exemplarily, the first guide structure 21112 may be a concave arc surface, an inclined surface, or other shapes with a guiding effect provided towards the second end of the adapter connector 200; this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0067] Exemplarily, the second hook-shaped portion 2112 includes a second guide structure 21121 to facilitate the insertion of the adapter 200 into the mounting base 100. Exemplarily, the second guide structure 21121 can be a convex arc surface, an inclined surface, or other shapes with a guiding effect provided at the second end facing away from the adapter 200; this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0068] In one feasible embodiment, the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210 further includes a plurality of second hooks 212 spaced apart around the adapter channel 201. The first hooks 211 and the second hooks 212 are arranged alternately, and the second hooks 212 snap into the first end of the mounting base 100. In this embodiment, the arrangement of the plurality of second hooks 212 can ensure a stable and reliable connection between the adapter 200 and the mounting base 100, and can also ensure that the first sealing member 400 is subjected to uniform force, effectively ensuring the airtightness between the adapter 200 and the mounting base 100.

[0069] For example, the head of the second hook 212 is provided with a third guide structure 2121 to facilitate the insertion of the adapter 200 into the mounting base 100. For example, the third guide structure 2121 is the same as or similar to the second guide structure 21121, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 4As shown, the width B1 of the second hook 212 is greater than the width B2 of the first hook 211. When the first hook-shaped part 2111 engages with the slot 311, rotating the mating connector 300 relative to the adapter connector 200 allows all the second hooks 212 to be aligned with the slots 311 one by one, that is, the first hooks 211 and the slots 311 are misaligned, so that the first hook-shaped part 2111 is completely disengaged from the slot 311, facilitating the separation of the mating connector 300 and the adapter connector 200.

[0071] In some embodiments, the adapter latching portion 210 includes a first latch 211 and a second latch 212, and the first latch 211 includes a first hook-shaped portion 2111 and a second hook-shaped portion 2112. This makes the connection between the adapter 200 and the mounting base 100 more stable and reliable, and provides better airtightness between them. In this embodiment, when it is necessary to separate the adapter 200 and the mounting base 100, a converging force can be applied to the first latch 211 and the second latch 212 using a specific tool, causing the second latch 212 and the second hook-shaped portion 2112 to detach from the mounting base 100, facilitating separation.

[0072] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the first end of the adapter 200 is provided with a groove 220 that communicates with the adapter channel 201. The bottom of the groove 220 is provided with an adapter snap-fit ​​part 210 to ensure that the adapter 200 has a compact structure, effectively reduce the overall length of the quick-connect adapter, and provide deformation space for the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210.

[0073] In some embodiments, the groove 220 is annular, meaning that all the first hooks 211 and second hooks 212 are located within the groove 220, facilitating molding. In other embodiments, multiple grooves 220 are provided, and each groove 220 may contain one first hook 211 and / or one second hook 212.

[0074] In one feasible implementation, the groove 220 is annular, and the mounting base 100 includes a sleeve 110 with a mounting channel 101. The sleeve 110 is inserted into the groove 220, effectively reducing the overall length of the quick-connect connector. In this embodiment, refer to... Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the first end face of the mounting base 100 is provided with an annular groove 102 communicating with the mounting channel 101, and the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210 hooks onto the bottom surface 1021 of the annular groove 102. The bottom surface 1021 of the annular groove 102 is inclined towards the second end of the mounting base 100 along the radial direction from the inside to the outside, effectively preventing the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210 from disengaging from the annular groove 102 in the direction in which the adapter 200 is inserted relative to the mounting base 100. It is understood that the outer diameter of the second hook-shaped part 2112 and the outer diameter of the head of the second hook 212 are larger than the diameter of the mounting channel 101 and smaller than the outer diameter of the annular groove 102, so that the second hook-shaped part 2112 and the second hook 212 are hooked into the annular groove 102.

[0075] Specifically, the second hook-shaped part 2112 and / or the second hook 212 are hooked onto the bottom surface 1021 of the annular groove 102.

[0076] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, one of the adapter 200 and the mating connector 300 is provided with a guide groove 320, and the other is provided with a guide protrusion 230. Along the insertion direction of the mating connector 300 relative to the adapter 200, the guide protrusion 230 is inserted into the guide groove 320. In this embodiment, the guide protrusion 230 and the guide groove 320 cooperate to achieve the positioning and insertion of the adapter 200 and the mating connector 300, that is, the guide first hook-shaped portion 2111 and the locking groove 311 engage. Furthermore, the cooperation of the guide protrusion 230 and the guide groove 320 can prevent the mating connector 300 from rotating relative to the adapter 200, thereby preventing accidental separation of the adapter 200 and the mating connector 300. When it is necessary to separate the adapter 200 and the mating connector 300, the guide protrusion 230 can be bent or broken to separate the guide protrusion 230 from the guide groove 320. Then, after rotating the mating connector 300 relative to the adapter 200, the mating connector 300 can be pulled off the adapter 200.

[0077] For example, the second end of the adapter 200 is provided with a guide protrusion 230, and the outer periphery of the mating connector 300 is provided with a guide groove 320, which facilitates bending or breaking the guide protrusion 230. In this embodiment, the adapter 200 is provided with one guide protrusion 230, and the mating connector 300 is provided with at least two guide grooves 320 spaced apart circumferentially. The adapter 200 only needs to be adjusted by a small angle to make the guide protrusion 230 align with one of the guide grooves 320, which facilitates the mating connector 300 to be inserted into the adapter 200. Of course, the number of guide protrusions 230 and the number of guide grooves 320 can also be other values, which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a first sealing element 400 is provided between the mounting base 100 and the adapter 200 to achieve a seal between them, effectively preventing air or liquid leakage between the mounting base 100 and the adapter 200. The first sealing element 400 can be a sealing ring. Furthermore, the arrangement of multiple first hooks 211 and multiple second hooks 212 ensures that the first sealing element 400 is subjected to uniform force, effectively guaranteeing the airtightness between the adapter 200 and the mounting base 100.

[0079] In one feasible embodiment, the mounting base 100 includes a ring portion 120, and a first sealing member 400 is sandwiched between the ring portion 120 and the end face of the first end of the adapter 200, effectively ensuring the airtightness between the mounting base 100 and the adapter 200, and facilitating assembly. Exemplarily, to facilitate the positioning of the first sealing member 400, the first end of the adapter 200 is provided with a first positioning groove (not shown) to accommodate the first sealing member 400. In this embodiment, the mounting base 100 may include a sleeve portion 110, and the ring portion 120 is sleeved on the sleeve portion 110. The ring portion 120 may be located at the first end of the sleeve portion 110, or at the second end of the sleeve portion 110, or between the first and second ends of the sleeve portion 110; this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0080] In another feasible embodiment, a first sealing element 400 is disposed within the groove 220, and a sleeve 110 passes through the first sealing element 400 for easy assembly. Exemplarily, to facilitate the positioning of the first sealing element 400, a second positioning groove (not shown) is provided on the groove wall of the groove 220 to accommodate the first sealing element 400.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a second sealing element 500 is provided between the adapter 200 and the mating connector 300 to achieve a seal between them, effectively preventing air or liquid leakage between the adapter 200 and the mating connector 300. In addition, the arrangement of multiple first hooks 211 ensures that the second sealing element 500 is subjected to uniform force, effectively ensuring the airtightness between the adapter 200 and the mating connector 300.

[0082] In one feasible embodiment, a second seal 500 is provided within the transition channel 201, and a mating connector 300 passes through the second seal 500 for easy assembly. Exemplarily, to facilitate the positioning of the second seal 500, a third positioning groove (not shown) is provided on the channel wall of the transition channel 201 to accommodate the second seal 500.

[0083] In another feasible embodiment, the outer periphery of the mating joint 300 is provided with an annular boss (not shown), and the second seal 500 is sandwiched between the annular boss and the end face of the second end of the adapter 200 for easy assembly. Exemplarily, to facilitate the positioning of the second seal 500, at least one of the annular boss and the adapter 200 is provided with a fourth positioning groove (not shown) for accommodating the second seal 500.

[0084] Compared to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the prior art shown, the second connector 2 has a groove 21 that can engage with the first connector 1 and an insertion periphery that mates with the seal 3; in this embodiment, the first seal 400 and the second seal 500, combined with the engagement of the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210 with the first end of the mounting base 100 and the engagement of the mating snap-fit ​​part 310 with the adapter snap-fit ​​part 210, give the quick-connect connector in this embodiment a shorter length. Wherein, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, L1 = L2, M1 < M2, N1 < N2, that is, as Figure 2 The overall length of the quick-connect plug in the prior art shown is greater than the overall length of the quick-connect connector in this embodiment.

[0085] This embodiment also provides a container assembly, including a container (not shown) and the aforementioned quick-connect connector. The mounting base 100 of the quick-connect connector is fixed to the container, and the mounting channel 101 of the mounting base 100 communicates with the container's receiving cavity. In this embodiment, the adapter 200 and mating connector 300 on the container are easily replaceable, extending the service life of the container assembly; furthermore, the quick-connect connector reduces the size of the container assembly.

[0086] For example, the quick-connect fitting is installed on the top of the container. Because the quick-connect fitting is short, more products can be stacked in the same space along the height of the container, effectively reducing transportation costs. Of course, the quick-connect fitting can also be installed in other locations on the container; this embodiment is not limited to these locations.

[0087] For example, the mounting base 100 can be welded to the container via the ring portion 120, for example at... Figure 10 Welding is performed at point H in the middle.

[0088] For example, the container can be a battery box, and the quick-connect fitting can be a battery box water nozzle.

[0089] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, including a body (not shown) and the aforementioned container assembly, the container assembly being disposed on the vehicle body. In this embodiment, the adapter 200 and mating connector 300 of the container assembly are easy to replace, and the container assembly occupies little installation space on the vehicle body.
