Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a floating connector structure with deflection and reset function. Background Technology

[0002] Existing floating joints, by having a female joint that can move slightly axially and radially within the mounting base, can effectively eliminate the problem of difficulty in joining the male and female joints due to machining errors during the mating process.

[0003] However, during the disassembly and maintenance of fluid pipelines, floating connectors need to be plugged in and out multiple times. Due to the characteristics of the floating connector structure, the other end of the female connector is connected to a hose. If the female connector cannot rotate within the mounting base, it is difficult to solve the deflection problem of the male connector and the female connector connection. If the female connector can rotate freely within the mounting base, the floating connector will rotate due to the deflection of the multiple plugging and unplugging, which can easily cause the hose to become tangled and knotted. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a floating connector structure with deflection and reset function, including a mounting base, a connector tube assembly, and a reset spring. The mounting base has a trapezoidal circular hole that extends through both sides, consisting of a large hole section and a small hole section, with the length of the large hole section being greater than the length of the small hole section. The connector tube assembly includes a male connector and a female connector. The female connector passes through the trapezoidal circular hole onto the mounting base, and the diameter of the female connector is smaller than the inner diameter of the small hole section. One end of the female connector extends to the outside of the mounting base and has a first limiting part and a flexible hose connector. The first limiting part abuts against the opening of the small hole section. The other end of the female connector extends to the outside of the mounting base and has a second limiting part and a insertion interface. An axial gap is left between the second limiting part and the mounting base. The insertion interface is inserted into the male connector. The reset spring is conical and sleeved on the female connector. One end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the mounting base, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second limiting part.

[0005] Preferably, the two ends of the return spring are respectively provided with a first plug and a second plug, the inner wall of the mounting base is provided with a corresponding first insertion hole, the first plug is inserted into the first insertion hole, the second limiting part is provided with a corresponding second insertion hole, and the second plug is inserted into the second insertion hole.

[0006] Preferably, the first limiting part is an abutment piece, and the diameter of the abutment piece is larger than the inner diameter of the opening of the small hole segment.

[0007] Preferably, the second limiting part consists of a boss and a convex ring, the convex ring being located inside the large hole section, the diameter of the convex ring being smaller than the inner diameter of the large hole section, the boss being located outside the mounting base, and the width of the boss being larger than the inner diameter of the large hole section.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with multiple fixed mounting plates.

[0009] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It provides a floating connector structure with deflection and reset function. By setting a conical reset spring and floating gap, when the floating connector is connected, the female connector can make slight axial, radial and rotational movements. After the floating connector is disconnected, the female connector can be reset to the starting position. This solves the deflection problem when the male connector is connected to the female connector and avoids the problem of hose tangling and knotting caused by the rotation of the female connector.

[0012] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the cross-section of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0014] The specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0015] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a floating connector structure with deflection and reset function includes a mounting base 1, a connector tube assembly 2, and a reset spring 3. The mounting base 1 has a trapezoidal circular hole 4 extending horizontally, consisting of a large hole section 41 and a small hole section 42, with the length of the large hole section 41 greater than the length of the small hole section 42. The connector tube assembly 2 includes a male connector 22 and a female connector 21. The female connector 21 passes through the trapezoidal circular hole 4 onto the mounting base 1, and the diameter of the female connector 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the small hole section 42. One section of the female connector 21 extends to… The mounting base 1 is provided with a first limiting part 5 and a hose connector 6 on its exterior. The first limiting part 5 abuts against the opening of the small hole section 42. The other end of the female connector 21 extends to the exterior of the mounting base 1 and is provided with a second limiting part 7 and a plug interface 8. An axial gap is left between the second limiting part 7 and the mounting base 1. The plug interface 8 is plugged into the male connector 22. The return spring 3 is conical and is sleeved on the female connector 21. One end of the return spring 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1, and the other end of the return spring 3 is fixedly connected to the second limiting part 7.

[0016] The aforementioned reset spring 3 has a first plug 31 and a second plug 32 at its two ends respectively. The inner wall of the mounting base 1 has a corresponding first insertion hole, and the first plug 31 is inserted into the first insertion hole. The second limiting part 7 has a corresponding second insertion hole, and the second plug 32 is inserted into the second insertion hole.

[0017] The first limiting part 5 is an abutting piece, and the diameter of the abutting piece is larger than the inner diameter of the opening of the small hole segment 42.

[0018] The second limiting part 7 is composed of a boss 72 and a convex ring 71. The convex ring 71 is located inside the large hole section 41, and the diameter of the convex ring 71 is smaller than the inner diameter of the large hole section 41. The boss 72 is located outside the mounting base 1, and the width of the boss 72 is larger than the inner diameter of the large hole section 41.

[0019] The aforementioned mounting base 1 is provided with multiple fixed mounting plates 9.

[0020] During the mating process, the male connector 22 is inserted into the insertion interface 8 of the female connector 21. The male connector 22 pushes the female connector 21 axially, and the return spring 3 is compressed axially, allowing the female connector 21 to move slightly axially within the mounting base 1. The male connector 22 pushes the female connector 21 radially, and the return spring 3 is compressed radially, allowing the female connector 21 to move slightly radially within the mounting base 1. The male connector 22 causes the female connector 21 to deflect, and the return spring 3 acts as a torsion spring, deforming under force. The female connector 21 can rotate slightly within the mounting base 1, allowing the male connector 22 and the female connector 21, which have machining errors, to be smoothly joined together.

[0021] After the connectors are separated, the male connector 22 is pulled out of the insertion interface 8 of the female connector 21. The external force on the return spring 3 disappears, and the return spring 3 releases energy, allowing the female connector 21 to return to its initial position in the mounting base 1. This solves the problem of deflection when the male connector 22 is connected to the female connector 21, and also avoids the problem of hose tangling and knotting caused by the rotation of the female connector 21.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
