Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a pressurized convertible water outlet pipe connector. Background Technology

[0002] Cars are a common means of transportation in daily life, and the radiator is a crucial component of the car's cooling system.

[0003] Most car radiators are equipped with water pipe connectors. For example, Chinese utility model patent document with publication number "CN2191401409U" discloses a sealed water pipe connector. The structure of this water pipe connector includes three interface units: the first interface unit is connected to the car radiator through a sliding groove, locking ring, etc., and has a sealing ring and a detachable ring inside to ensure sealing; the second interface unit is connected to the engine thermostat through a conical opening, annular ribs, and a semi-circular piece; the third interface unit is perpendicular to the body and is connected to the heater water pipe through a convex ring, ribs, and grooves.

[0004] This water pipe connector only has a third interface unit as the water outlet. In practical applications, this single-outlet design has significant shortcomings. Firstly, it cannot meet the needs of complex operating conditions requiring multiple outlets. For example, in some large automotive cooling systems or multi-equipment cooling systems, it is necessary to supply coolant to different components or areas simultaneously, while this water pipe connector can only supply coolant to a single component or area. Secondly, it cannot meet conditions requiring higher water pressure. When the system requires higher water pressure to drive the coolant to circulate rapidly for efficient heat dissipation, this water pipe connector cannot provide sufficient pressure support, thus affecting the performance and efficiency of the entire cooling system. This could cause critical components such as the engine to overheat due to insufficient heat dissipation, seriously affecting the normal operation and service life of the vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a pressurized convertible water outlet water pipe connector to address the shortcomings of the prior art. By adding a pressurized convertible water pipe to the outside of the main body, the problems of single water outlet and low water pressure are solved, significantly improving the system's flexibility and adaptability, meeting the simultaneous cooling needs under complex working conditions, and increasing water pressure to ensure efficient circulation of coolant and prevent overheating of key components.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pressurized convertible water outlet pipe connector, comprising a body and a connecting ring installed on the upper part of the body, wherein the connecting ring has an upper through hole, a connecting body is provided below the body, the connecting body has a lower through hole, the body has a main through hole, and a lateral branch water pipe is provided on the side of the body, the lateral branch water pipe being connected to the main through hole, characterized in that: a pressurized conversion water pipe is also provided on the side of the body, the pressurized conversion water pipe being connected to the main through hole.

[0007] This application can be further configured such that: the end of the booster water pipe away from the main body is provided with a connecting structure, the connecting structure including an outer conical ring disposed on the outer periphery of the booster water pipe and an inner conical ring disposed on the inner periphery of the booster water pipe, the small end of the outer conical ring being away from the main body and the large end facing the main body, and the small end of the inner conical ring being close to the main body and the large end being away from the main body.

[0008] This application can be further configured such that: a support ring is provided at the connection between the main body and the booster conversion water pipe, the support ring has a first inclined surface on its side, a support block is provided in the middle of the first inclined surface, and the side of the support block is connected to the booster conversion water pipe.

[0009] This application can be further configured such that the inner diameter of the booster conversion water pipe is smaller than the inner diameter of the lateral branch water pipe.

[0010] This application can be further configured such that: the side wall of the connecting ring is provided with a number of sets of slots arranged sequentially and at intervals along the circumference of the connecting ring; the body is provided with a set of buckles that cooperate with each set of slots; the slot is located on the side near the body and is connected to an elastic stop; when the slot is inserted into the slot, the elastic stop abuts against the bottom of the buckle.

[0011] This application can be further configured such that: the inner circumferential surface of the connecting ring is provided with a set of guide grooves corresponding to each set of card holes, the end of the guide groove extends to the lower end of the connecting ring and is open, the body is provided with a protrusion corresponding to each set of guide grooves, the protrusion is distributed below the buckle, and the end of the protrusion near the buckle is provided with a second inclined surface.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By adding a pressure-boosting conversion water pipe to the outside of the main body, the problems of a single water outlet and low water pressure are effectively solved, significantly improving the system's flexibility and adaptability. The pressure-boosting conversion water pipe can be connected to a conversion joint, allowing adjustment of the number and position of the water outlets as needed to meet the simultaneous cooling requirements under complex working conditions. It can also increase water pressure, ensuring efficient circulation of coolant and preventing overheating of critical components. In the connection structure, the outer conical ring and the inner conical ring cooperate to enhance the connection's stability and sealing, while the support ring and support block improve the structural strength and stability of the connection. The inner diameter of the pressure-boosting conversion water pipe is smaller than that of the lateral branch water pipe, utilizing fluid mechanics principles to achieve the pressure boosting effect while simultaneously meeting different flow rate requirements. The design of the locking holes and buckles, and the guide grooves and protrusions, makes installation and disassembly more convenient, improving installation efficiency and reducing installation risks.

[0013] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the main body structure of an embodiment of the present utility model;

[0017] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the connecting ring according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 The illustrated pressurized convertible water outlet pipe connector includes a body 1, a connecting ring 2 installed on top of the body 1, an upper through hole 4 penetrating the inside of the connecting ring 2, a connecting body 3 provided below the body 1, a lower through hole penetrating the inside of the connecting body 3, a main through hole 5 penetrating the inside of the body 1, a lateral branch water pipe 6 provided on the side of the body 1, the lateral branch water pipe 6 communicating with the main through hole 5, and a pressurized conversion water pipe 7 provided on the side of the body 1, the pressurized conversion water pipe 7 communicating with the main through hole 5.

[0020] By adding a booster water pipe 7 to the exterior of the main body 1, the problems of a single water outlet and low water pressure mentioned in the prior art are effectively solved. The side branch water pipe 6 is mainly used for exhaust and water pipe installation, and its function is consistent with the third interface unit in "CN2191401409U", which can meet the basic water outlet requirements. The newly added booster water pipe 7 significantly improves the system's flexibility and adaptability. In complex operating conditions requiring multiple water outlets, the booster water pipe 7 can be connected to a conversion connector, allowing the water pipe connector to flexibly adjust the number and position of water outlets according to actual needs (selectively installing conversion connectors with an appropriate number of water outlets is sufficient), meeting the simultaneous cooling needs of different components or areas in large automotive cooling systems or multi-equipment cooling systems. At the same time, the booster water pipe 7 can significantly increase the water pressure, ensuring efficient circulation of coolant within the system, meeting efficient heat dissipation requirements, preventing overheating and other malfunctions of critical components such as the engine due to insufficient heat dissipation, ensuring normal vehicle operation and extending service life.

[0021] The end of the booster water pipe 7 away from the main body 1 is provided with a connecting structure. The connecting structure includes an outer conical ring 8 set on the outer periphery of the booster water pipe 7 and an inner conical ring 9 set on the inner periphery of the booster water pipe 7. The small end of the outer conical ring 8 is away from the main body 1 and the large end faces the main body 1. The small end of the inner conical ring 9 is close to the main body 1 and the large end is away from the main body 1.

[0022] The outer conical ring 8 enhances the stability and sealing of the connection between the booster pipe 7 and external connectors. The small end of the outer conical ring 8 is away from the body 1, while the large end faces the body 1. This design allows the outer conical ring 8 to gradually increase the contact area with the connecting parts through its conical structure when connected to external pipes or joints, thus achieving a tighter fit and effectively preventing leakage at the connection. The inner conical ring 9 optimizes the water flow channel and improves sealing performance. The small end of the inner conical ring 9 is close to the body 1, while the large end is away from the body 1. This shape design creates a gradually expanding flow channel inside the booster pipe 7. When water flows through, this conical flow channel guides the water flow more smoothly into the booster pipe 7, reducing water flow turbulence and energy loss, thereby improving the boosting effect. Simultaneously, the inner conical ring 9 and the outer conical ring 8 work together to form a double sealing structure, further enhancing the sealing performance of the connection and ensuring no leakage occurs when high-pressure water flows through.

[0023] The connection between the main body 1 and the booster water pipe 7 is provided with a support ring 10 that surrounds the outer periphery of the booster water pipe 7. The side of the support ring 10 is provided with a first inclined surface 11, and the middle of the first inclined surface 11 is provided with a support block 12. The side of the support block 12 is connected to the booster water pipe 7.

[0024] The support ring 10 enhances the structural strength and stability of the connection between the pressurization conversion water pipe 7 and the main body 1. Surrounding the outer periphery of the pressurization conversion water pipe 7, the support ring 10 effectively disperses stress at the connection, preventing damage caused by stress concentration. The support block 12 is located in the middle of the first inclined surface 11 and is connected to the pressurization conversion water pipe 7. Its function is to provide additional support at critical locations, further enhancing the stability of the connection. The support block 12 restricts the radial displacement of the pressurization conversion water pipe 7 at the connection, ensuring that the pressurization conversion water pipe 7 does not experience excessive swaying or displacement when high-pressure water flows through, thereby guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0025] The inner diameter of the booster water pipe 7 is smaller than the inner diameter of the lateral branch water pipe 6.

[0026] The booster water pipe 7 has a smaller inner diameter. According to fluid mechanics principles, the fluid velocity in a pipe is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. The smaller inner diameter increases the water velocity, generating higher water pressure and achieving a booster effect. This helps propel the coolant to circulate rapidly within the system, meeting the demands of efficient heat dissipation. The lateral branch water pipe 6 has a larger inner diameter, providing a greater flow rate to meet the system's coolant flow requirements during normal operation. The booster water pipe 7, with its smaller inner diameter, allows for flow control by adjusting the water flow through it when booster pressure is needed, ensuring stable system operation under various conditions.

[0027] The side wall of the connecting ring 2 is provided with several sets of locking holes 13 arranged sequentially and at intervals along the circumference of the connecting ring 2. The body 1 is provided with a set of buckles 14 that cooperate with each set of locking holes 13. The locking holes 13 are located on the side near the body 1 and are connected to elastic blocks 15. When the locking holes 13 are inserted, the elastic blocks 15 abut against the bottom of the buckles 14.

[0028] The engagement of the locking hole 13 and the buckle 14 ensures a tight connection between the connecting ring 2 and the body 1, while the elastic stop 15 further enhances the stability of the connection. The elastic stop 15 rests against the bottom of the buckle 14 to prevent the buckle 14 from loosening or falling off during use, ensuring the reliability of the connection and thus improving the sealing performance of the water pipe joint.

[0029] The inner circumferential surface of the connecting ring 2 is provided with a set of guide grooves 16 corresponding to each set of card holes 13. The end of the guide groove 16 extends to the lower end of the connecting ring 2 and is open. The body 1 is provided with a protrusion 17 corresponding to each set of guide grooves 16. The protrusion 17 is distributed below the buckle 14, and the end of the protrusion 17 near the buckle 14 is provided with a second inclined surface 18.

[0030] The end of the guide groove 16 extends to the lower end of the connecting ring 2 and is open, facilitating the accurate insertion of the protrusion 17 on the body 1 into the guide groove 16 during installation. This open design provides a clear insertion path for the protrusion 17, making the installation process more intuitive and convenient, and avoiding alignment difficulties during installation. After the protrusion 17 is inserted into the guide groove 16, the cooperation between the second inclined surface 18 and the guide groove 16 allows the protrusion 17 to slide smoothly into the locking hole 13, achieving a tight connection between the connecting ring 2 and the body 1. This inclined surface cooperation not only reduces frictional resistance during installation but also ensures the stability of the connection, preventing the connecting ring 2 from loosening or falling off during use.
