Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical design technology, and specifically to an anti-detachment pipe connector. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicle thermal management systems need to take a holistic approach, coordinating the relationship between heat, the powertrain, and the entire vehicle. They should employ comprehensive methods to control and optimize heat transfer. Based on driving conditions and environmental factors, the system can automatically adjust cooling intensity to ensure the cooled components operate within their optimal temperature range, thereby optimizing the vehicle's environmental performance and energy efficiency, while also improving operational safety and driving comfort.

[0003] Currently, automotive water valves used in the automotive thermal management market generally adopt an integral structure, with the connectors being part of the valve body and not removable or changeable. This makes them unsuitable for different customer needs and also prevents the pipe connection dimensions from being changed as required. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an anti-detachment pipe connector with a simple structure and detachable connection to the valve body. It can be customized to match different market demands by changing the size of the pipe connector interface and pipeline connection as needed.

[0005] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: an anti-detachment connector, comprising a connector body, wherein the through hole cross-section of the connector body is circular, and the inner diameter of the through hole of the connector body is the same or variable diameter. One end of the connector body connected to the valve body is provided with a double-layer cylinder, and an annular groove for placing a first sealing ring and a sealing gasket is formed between the inner and outer cylinders. At one end of the connector body near the double-layer cylinder, a plurality of claws are provided along the circumference of the connector body for corresponding to the grooves of the valve body. The plurality of claws and the outer surface of the connector body between the double-layer cylinder form a groove for placing a second sealing ring. The other end of the connector body is used for connection to a system pipeline.

[0006] Furthermore, a connector is provided at one end of the connector body that connects to the system pipeline. The connector is in the shape of a truncated cone, and a bayonet is formed between the connector and the connector body.

[0007] Furthermore, four claws are evenly arranged along the two vertical directions of the cross-section of the connector body, and one end of the claw protrudes outward to correspond to the groove of the valve body. The valve body is provided with a boss that holds the claw.

[0008] Furthermore, each claw has a convenient contact part on its side, which the user can press against with their fingers to easily rotate the connector body during assembly.

[0009] This utility model features an ingenious structural design, high strength, and anti-detachment function, effectively fixing it to the valve body and forming a seal. The connector and valve body are detachable and installable, making it convenient and flexible to use. Different pipe connector interfaces and pipeline connection sizes can be changed as needed, making it widely applicable and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] like Figure 1-6 The diagram shows an anti-detachment pipe connector, comprising a connector body 1, wherein the through-hole cross-section of the connector body 1 is circular, and the inner diameter of the through-hole of the connector body 1 is either the same diameter or a variable diameter. One end of the connector body 1 connected to the valve body 2 is provided with a double-layer cylinder 3, wherein an annular groove 6 for placing a first sealing ring 4 and a sealing gasket 5 is formed between the inner cylinder 301 and the outer cylinder 302. The connector body 1 near the double-layer cylinder 3 is provided with a plurality of claws 7 along the circumference of the connector body 1 for corresponding to the groove 201 of the valve body. The outer surface of the connector body 1 between the plurality of claws 7 and the double-layer cylinder 3 forms a groove 9 for placing a second sealing ring 8. The other end of the connector body 1 is used for connection to a system pipeline.

[0021] The connector body 1 is provided with a connector 10 at one end that is connected to the system pipeline. The connector 10 is in the shape of a truncated cone, and a bayonet is formed between the connector 10 and the connector body 1.

[0022] Four claws 7 are evenly arranged along two perpendicular directions of the cross-section of the connector body 1. One end of each claw 7 protrudes outward from a groove 201 in the valve body. A boss 202 is provided on the valve body 2 to hold the claws 7 in place. Each claw 7 has a contact part 11 on its side for easy operation, which is used by the user to easily rotate the connector body 1 by pressing against it with their fingers during assembly.

[0023] In practical use, the valve core 203 is installed in the valve body 2, and the first sealing ring 4, sealing gasket 5, and second sealing ring 8 are installed on the anti-detachment connector. The claws 7 of the anti-detachment connector are aligned with the grooves 201 of the valve body and pressed in axially to fit tightly against the valve body 2. The anti-detachment connector is rotated clockwise, and the boss 202 on the valve body 2 locks the claws 7 of the anti-detachment connector, preventing the connector from falling off axially. A positioning pin 12 is installed on the positioning hole 204 of the valve body 2 to prevent the connector from rotating off axially. Then, the system pipeline is connected through the connector 10. This utility model can change the inner or outer diameter of the connector as needed to connect pipelines of different sizes and meet different usage requirements.

[0024] The connector claws of this utility model correspond to the grooves in the valve body. The connector structure is ingeniously designed, allowing for direct and convenient installation. The sealing gasket and sealing ring together form an elastic seal, ensuring that the sealing effect of the liquid in the valve body space meets the requirements. After the anti-detachment connector is inserted into the valve body mounting hole, it turns to the right and locks into the valve body groove to prevent outward movement. The positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole of the valve body to prevent the connector from reversing and falling off.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
