Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a sealing structure, and more particularly to a convenient hand-tightening sealing structure for ferrules, belonging to the technical field of ferrule sealing structures. Background Technology

[0002] Compression fittings are a class of essential components widely used in industry, scientific research, and laboratories. These include guard columns, in-line filters, and column tubes. Guard columns are typically used in chromatographic analysis systems as the connection between the injector and the column, effectively protecting the column from contamination by impurities in the sample and extending its lifespan. In-line filters are primarily used in liquid or gas pipelines, using built-in filter screens or membranes to filter out tiny particles, impurities, or microorganisms in the fluid in real time, ensuring fluid purity and stable system operation. Column tubes, as one of the core components of chromatographic analysis, are filled with a specific stationary phase for the separation and purification of different components in a sample. These compression fittings, with their high precision, high reliability, and ease of replacement, play an indispensable role in various analytical testing, fluid transport, and purification systems.

[0003] Conventional seals are typically tightened using tools like wrenches during installation to ensure the desired sealing effect. In some cases, for ease of operation or due to space constraints, knurled structures are designed on the exterior of the seal to increase friction and facilitate hand-tightening. However, the torque that can be applied by hand-tightening is limited, and the cylindrical shape is prone to relative rotation, leading to poor sealing performance, affecting normal equipment operation, and even posing safety hazards. Therefore, a convenient hand-tightening sealing structure with a ferrule is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a convenient hand-tightening sealing structure for a ferrule, including a main component 10. The main component 10 includes a lower shell inner connector 14, an annular groove 15, a lower shell 16, and a threaded hole 17. The outer side wall of the lower shell inner connector 14 is provided with an annular groove 15, and the lower shell 16 is fitted onto the outer side wall of the lower shell inner connector 14. The lower shell 16 is provided with a threaded hole 17 inside.

[0029] The main body component 10 is provided with a limiting component 20, which includes a fixing pin 21, a pin hole 22, a locking bolt 23 and a top block 24; the annular groove 15 is fixedly connected to the fixing pin 21, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the pin hole 22; the threaded hole 17 is threadedly connected to the locking bolt 23, and one end of the locking bolt 23 is fixedly connected to the top block 24.

[0030] In this embodiment, specifically: the top block 24 is disposed inside the annular groove 15. By rotating the locking bolt 23, it moves into the sleeve, causing the top block 24 to be embedded inside the annular groove 15. The limiting mechanism between the top block 24 and the fixing pin 21 effectively prevents the relative rotation between the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 16, ensuring that the sleeve is in a stable state during the tightening process.

[0031] In this embodiment, specifically: the main body component 10 also includes an upper shell 11, an inner connector 12 of the upper shell, and a core 13;

[0032] The upper housing 11 is fitted with an inner connector 12. The bottom of the inner connector 12 is provided with a core 13. The inner connector 12 is used to connect to the upper housing 11. The core 13 adopts a compression fitting structure to achieve a sealed connection with the pipeline. The self-tightening effect is generated through the conical surface fit to ensure that the seal is maintained under high pressure and wide temperature range.

[0033] In this embodiment, specifically: the lower shell inner connector 14 is disposed at the bottom of the core 13, and the lower shell inner connector 14 is used to connect the lower shell 16.

[0034] In this embodiment, specifically: a first sealing ring 18 is provided between the inner connector 12 of the upper shell and the core 13, and the sealing performance of the connection between the inner connector 12 of the upper shell and the core 13 is enhanced by the first sealing ring 18.

[0035] In this embodiment, specifically: a second sealing ring 19 is provided between the inner connector 14 of the lower shell and the core 13, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the connection between the inner connector 14 of the lower shell and the core 13.

[0036] In this embodiment, specifically: the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 16 are triangular. By designing the appearance structure of the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 16 as triangular, it is easier for the staff to grip firmly with their bare hands, effectively preventing slippage. At the same time, it can increase the torque applied when twisting by hand, thereby improving the sealing effect of the ferrule.

[0037] In this embodiment, specifically: the pin hole 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the lower shell inner connector 14, and the shape of the pin hole 22 matches the fixing pin 21 to ensure that the fixing pin 21 can be stably inserted and fixed in the pin hole 22.

[0038] In operation, this utility model features a triangular design for the upper housing 11 and lower housing 16, which facilitates a firm grip by the operator and effectively prevents slippage. It also increases the torque applied during hand tightening, thereby improving the sealing effect of the ferrule. By rotating the locking bolt 23, it moves into the ferrule, causing the top block 24 to embed into the annular groove 15. The limiting mechanism between the top block 24 and the fixing pin 21 effectively prevents relative rotation between the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 16, ensuring that the ferrule remains stable during tightening.

[0039] The shell structure of this utility model can be designed as either a split type or an integrated type. In this embodiment, a split type structure is preferred to reduce processing costs and improve manufacturing flexibility. However, it should be noted that the structure also supports the conversion to an integrated design. The sealing performance of the ferrule assembly can be further improved through the integral molding process, thereby achieving flexible adaptation between cost control and functional requirements in different application scenarios.

[0040] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
