Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pipe joint, specifically a universal joint for liquid cooling pipes. Background Technology

[0002] A liquid cooling pipe connection joint is a joint used to connect pipes in a liquid cooling system. Its main function is to ensure the smooth flow of coolant in the system, thereby effectively dissipating heat.

[0003] Existing liquid cooling pipeline connection joints typically require valves to control fluid flow during use. However, valves have the following drawbacks: firstly, they complicate the internal structure of the joint; secondly, the internal parts of the valves wear out over time, making them prone to failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a universal connector for liquid cooling pipelines. It controls fluid flow by cooperating with two magnets, eliminating the need for valves and thus simplifying the structure. This makes fluid flow control simpler and more convenient. Furthermore, the method of controlling fluid flow through magnet cooperation is very stable and reliable, eliminating wear on parts and greatly reducing the probability of failure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a universal connector for liquid cooling pipelines, comprising a male connector and a female connector disposed below the male connector. The male connector is disposed inside a bearing shell, and a locking cap is provided between the male connector and the bearing shell. A support rod is disposed within the cavity of the locking cap. The bottom of the male connector extends into the cavity of the locking cap, and a flow cavity is formed within the male connector. A sealing ring and a shielding ring connected below the sealing ring are disposed within the flow cavity. A tightening spring is disposed below the shielding ring and abuts against it. The support rod comprises a rod body and a positioning plate and a base plate respectively fixed to both ends of the rod body. The positioning plate is disposed within the flow cavity, and an annular groove is formed on the positioning plate. A second magnet is disposed within the annular groove. An inner groove is disposed within the cavity of the locking cap, and a first magnet is disposed within the inner groove. When the second magnet moves to a designated position, it can cooperate with the first magnet.

[0006] Preferably, both the bearing shell and the locking cover are cavity structures with openings at both ends and hollow interiors. The bearing shell has an internal thread inside the cavity, and the locking cover has an external thread on its outer circumference. The bearing shell and the locking cover are connected by their threads.

[0007] Preferably, the bearing shell is provided with an embossed pattern, which surrounds the outer circumference of the bearing shell.

[0008] Preferably, a limiting ring is also provided between the male head and the locking cover. The limiting ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the locking cover and is located on the inner side of the inner groove.

[0009] Preferably, a blocking block is also provided in the flow cavity, and the bottom of the clamping spring is fixedly connected to the blocking block.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the flow cavity has a conical inner wall, and the blocking block is disposed within the conical inner wall.

[0011] Preferably, the rod body and the chassis are connected by a connecting part, and the connecting part is provided with multiple fluid holes penetrating both sides thereon.

[0012] Preferably, the chassis abuts against the inner wall of the female head, and a return spring is also provided in the cavity of the locking cover.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting spring is provided inside the cavity of the bearing shell, and the two ends of the connecting spring are respectively connected to the female head and the bearing shell.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. By setting an embossed pattern on the outer circle of the bearing shell, it can play a role in preventing slippage during assembly, thereby avoiding assembly failure due to slippage. By setting a sealing ring above the shielding ring, the tightening spring, shielding ring and sealing ring can cooperate to achieve a sealing effect in the flow cavity, thereby preventing accidental fluid leakage and giving the joint a good sealing effect.

[0016] 2. This utility model, by setting a support rod, allows the positioning plate of the support rod to extend into the flow cavity, so that the second magnet on the positioning plate cooperates with the second magnet in the inner groove. The two magnets attract each other, thus fixing the positioning plate at a specified height. At this time, the blocking block separates from the conical inner wall, allowing the fluid to pass smoothly. When the two magnets do not cooperate, the blocking block presses against the conical inner wall, preventing the fluid from passing through. This makes the control of fluid flow simpler and more convenient. Furthermore, the solution of controlling fluid flow through magnet cooperation is very stable and reliable, with no wear of parts, greatly reducing the probability of failure. It is also easy for users to disassemble and assemble, making it highly practical. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] Please see Figure 1This utility model provides an embodiment of a universal connector for liquid cooling pipelines, including a male connector 1 and a female connector 2 disposed below the male connector 1. The male connector 1 is disposed on the inner side of a support shell 3, and a locking cap 4 is provided between the male connector 1 and the support shell 3. The outer circle of the support shell 3 is provided with an embossed pattern 31, which can play a role in preventing slippage during assembly. In specific implementation, the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are made of stainless steel, which can improve the service life of the connector.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 Both the bearing shell 3 and the locking cover 4 are hollow cavity structures with openings at both ends. Internal threads are provided inside the cavity of the bearing shell 3, and external threads are provided on the outer circumference of the locking cover 4. The bearing shell 3 and the locking cover 4 are connected by their threads. A support rod 5 is provided inside the cavity of the locking cover 4. The bottom of the male head 1 extends into the cavity of the locking cover 4, and a flow cavity 11 is formed inside the male head 1. A sealing ring 12 and a blocking ring 13 connected below the sealing ring 12 are provided inside the flow cavity 11. A tightening spring 14 is provided below the blocking ring 13 and abuts against it. A blocking block 16 is also provided inside the flow cavity 11. The bottom of the tightening spring 14 is fixedly connected to the blocking block 16. The bottom of the flow cavity 11 has a conical inner wall 15. The plug 16 is disposed inside the conical inner wall 15. When the plug 16 moves upward and separates from the conical inner wall 15, the fluid can flow out through the conical inner wall 15. When the plug 16 presses on the conical inner wall 15, the fluid cannot flow out. The support rod 5 includes a rod body 51 and a positioning plate 52 and a base plate 57 respectively fixed to both ends of the rod body 51. The positioning plate 52 is disposed inside the flow cavity 11. A limit ring 6 is also disposed between the male head 1 and the locking cover 4. The base plate 57 abuts against the inner wall of the female head 2. A return spring 7 is also disposed inside the cavity of the locking cover 4. The two ends of the return spring 7 are respectively connected to the base plate 57 and the limit ring 6. A connecting spring 8 is disposed inside the cavity of the bearing shell 3. The two ends of the connecting spring 8 are respectively connected to the female head 2 and the bearing shell 3.

[0028] Please see Figure 3An annular groove 53 is formed on the positioning plate 52, and a second magnet 54 is disposed in the annular groove 53. An inner groove 41 is disposed in the cavity of the locking cover 4, and a first magnet 42 is disposed in the inner groove 41. When the second magnet 54 moves to the designated position, it can cooperate with the first magnet 42. At this time, the positioning plate 52 will drive the rod 51 to move upward a certain distance, so that the blocking block 16 is separated from the conical inner wall 15, and the fluid can pass through smoothly. Conversely, if the two magnets do not cooperate with each other, under the action of gravity, the blocking block 16 will press on the conical inner wall 15, completely blocking the fluid passage. At this time, the fluid cannot pass through, thus realizing the control of fluid flow. There is no need to set up a valve, avoiding the wear of parts caused by valve operation. The control of fluid by magnetic cooperation also greatly reduces the probability of failure. The limiting ring 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the locking cover 4, and the limiting ring 6 is located inside the inner groove 41, so that the limiting ring 6 can block the first magnet 42 and prevent it from falling off.

[0029] Please see Figure 4 The rod body 51 is connected to the chassis 57 by a connecting part 55. Multiple fluid holes 56 are provided on the connecting part 55 through both sides, through which fluid can flow out.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
