[0022] 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.

[0023] It should be noted that the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "up," "down," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this article are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0024] 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 invention pertains; the terminology used herein in the description of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention; the term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a quick-release aviation conduit connector includes an inner connecting tube 1. The inner connecting tube 1 is connected to an outer shell 2 via a connecting ring 11 sleeved on its exterior. The connecting ring 11 has several evenly distributed protrusions 12 above it. The inner wall of the outer shell 2 has grooves 21 corresponding to the protrusions 12. Below the grooves 21 is a slot 22 placed on the inner wall of the outer shell 2. A retaining plate 13 corresponding to the slot 22 is connected to the side wall of the inner connecting tube 1. Below the grooves 21 is a limiting groove 23 that communicates with itself and corresponds to the protrusions 12, ensuring connection stability. A sealing ring 14 corresponding to itself is sleeved on the outside of the outer shell 2 for connecting other tubes, enhancing the connector's sealing performance.

[0026] In this embodiment, the connector's rapid assembly and disassembly characteristics are primarily due to its unique structural design. The inner tube 1 is connected to the outer shell 2 via a connecting ring 11. The protrusion 12 on the connecting ring 11 engages with the groove 21 on the inner wall of the outer shell 2, achieving rapid locking. This engagement not only simplifies the connection process but also ensures connection stability and reliability through the design of the limiting groove 23. The engagement of the retaining plate 13 and the retaining slot 22 further enhances the connection's robustness, allowing the entire connector to remain stable under pressure and vibration. Furthermore, the sealing ring 14 on the outside of the outer shell 2 provides additional sealing performance and allows the connector to be easily connected to other tubes, expanding its application range. Overall, this rapid assembly and disassembly aviation conduit connector design, through the engagement of protrusions and grooves, and the engagement of retaining plates and retaining slots, achieves rapid and stable connection while ensuring reliability and ease of maintenance in various environments, significantly improving the performance and user experience of aviation conduit connectors.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the width of the slot 22 is greater than the width of the slot 22 itself. This design makes the fit between the card plate 13 and the slot 22 tighter, improving the reliability of the connection. The connecting ring 11 and the connecting inner tube 1 adopt an elastic connection method to achieve quick assembly and disassembly. The connecting ring 11 is made of elastic rubber, and the protrusion 12 fits tightly against the groove 21, ensuring a tight connection and convenient quick disassembly. The inner diameter of the outer shell 2 corresponds to the diameter of the connecting inner tube 1. The card plate 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting inner tube 1. The outer shell 2 and the sealing ring 14 adopt a threaded connection or a snap-fit ​​connection to adapt to different connection requirements and provide flexible installation options.

[0028] In this embodiment, the width of the slot 22 is greater than the width of the plate 13. This design allows the plate 13 to be more tightly embedded in the slot 22 and to rotate horizontally within it, thereby improving the structural strength and reliability of the connector. The connecting ring 11 is made of elastic rubber material and forms an elastic connection with the inner tube 1. This design allows the connecting ring 11 to expand and contract within a certain range, enabling the protrusion 12 to fit tightly with the groove 21, while maintaining a tight connection and easy disassembly. The inner diameter of the outer shell 2 is precisely matched with the diameter of the inner tube 1, ensuring the sealing and connection stability between the two. The plate 13 is fixed to the outer wall of the inner tube 1 and cooperates with the slot 22 on the inner wall of the outer shell 2, enhancing the stability of the connection. The outer shell 2 and the sealing ring 14 can be connected by threads or snaps. This design not only provides flexible installation options but also allows the connector to adapt to different connection requirements, satisfying both quick connection and sealing requirements. Overall, this quick-release aviation conduit connector design, through careful structural layout and material selection, achieves fast, stable, and reliable connection, while ensuring adaptability in various environments and ease of maintenance, significantly improving the performance and user experience of aviation conduit connectors.

[0029] In use, firstly, insert the inner connecting tube 1 into the outer shell 2, aligning the protrusion 12 on the connecting ring 11 with the groove 21 on the inner wall of the outer shell 2. Then, rotate the inner connecting tube 1 so that the protrusion 12 is embedded in the groove 21, and the stability of the connection is ensured by the limiting groove 23. Next, insert the retaining plate 13 into the retaining groove 22 on the inner wall of the outer shell 2. Since the width of the retaining groove 22 is designed to be slightly larger than the width of the retaining plate 13, the retaining plate 13 can be tightly embedded and can rotate horizontally within the retaining groove 22, enhancing the stability of the connection. Subsequently, if it is necessary to connect with other tubes, the sealing ring 14 can be fitted onto the outside of the outer shell 2 and connected to other tubes by means of threaded connection or snap-fit ​​connection to adapt to different connection requirements. Finally, when it is necessary to disassemble the connector, simply rotate the inner connecting tube 1 in the opposite direction and pull it out. The protrusion 12 will come out of the groove 21, and the retaining plate 13 will be pulled out of the retaining groove 22, which can quickly complete the disassembly. The whole process does not require additional tools, is simple and quick to operate, and significantly improves the performance and user experience of the aviation conduit connector.

[0030] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the claims.
