[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a quick-connect explosion-proof connector that is easy to install, including a pipeline connector 1 and a movable connector. The pipeline connector 1 is fixed on the pipeline 2. The movable connector includes an intermediate connector 3 and an external connector 4. The intermediate connector 3 has threaded connectors 5 on both sides. Both the pipeline connector 1 and the external connector 4 have threaded grooves that connect with the threaded connectors 5. The intermediate connector 3 has sealing rings 6 on both sides of the threaded connectors 5. After the intermediate connector 3 is connected to the pipeline connector 1 and the external connector 4, the sealing rings 6 are squeezed and deformed in the gap at the connection. The intermediate connector 3 locks the pipeline connector 1 and the external connector 4 through the same locking mechanism. During connection, the connector end of the external cable is put on the intermediate connector 3 and the external connector 4, and the external cable is connected to the pipeline 2. The intermediate connector 3 is screwed onto the pipeline connector 1. After it is in place, the locking mechanism prevents it from loosening. Then the external connector 4 is screwed onto the threaded connector 5 of the pipeline 2. Similarly, the locking mechanism prevents it from loosening. During this process, after the intermediate connector 3 is connected to the pipeline connector 1 and the external connector 4, the sealing ring 6 is squeezed into the gap at the connection point. Due to the locking mechanism preventing loosening, a stable seal is achieved.

[0027] Specifically, the locking mechanism includes a protrusion 7 located on the pipeline connector 1 and the outer connector 4. The protrusion 7 has grooves on its upper and lower sides, and a spring 8 and a positioning post 9 are installed in the grooves. The intermediate connector 3 has annular cavities on both sides for the protrusion 7 to partially enter. Annular grooves 10 are provided in the annular cavities. The outer wall of the intermediate connector 3 has two through holes 11 that penetrate the annular grooves 10. After the intermediate connector 3 is connected to the pipeline connector 1 and the outer connector 4, the positioning post 9 partially abuts in the annular grooves 10. In this embodiment, the spring 8 and the positioning post 9 are then installed in the upper and lower grooves of the pipeline connector 1. After pressing, the intermediate connector 3 is screwed onto the pipeline connector 1. After it is in place, the positioning post 9 will partially enter the annular grooves 10 under the action of the spring 8 to prevent loosening. Then, the outer connector 4 is screwed onto the threaded connector 5 of the pipeline 2. Similarly, the positioning post 9 enters the annular grooves 10 to prevent loosening. When it needs to be opened, the positioning post 9 can be opened by pressing it with an external component through the through holes 11.

[0028] Specifically, the width of the annular groove 10 is greater than the width of the positioning post 9, and the through hole 11 is a long groove extending along the annular groove 10. In this embodiment, since unavoidable errors may occur when the intermediate connector 3 is connected to the pipeline connector 1 and the external connector 4, the annular groove 10 with a certain width is conducive to the entry of the positioning post 9. At the same time, the through hole 11 is a long groove, so that even after a certain error occurs, the annular groove 10 can still correspond to the positioning post 9 to facilitate the insertion and return of the external component.

[0029] Specifically, the outer edge of the protrusion 7 is a polygonal structure, and the outer wall of the intermediate connector 3 is a polygonal structure; in this embodiment, the polygonal structure facilitates the twisting of the pipeline connector 1, the intermediate connector 3, and the outer connector 4.

[0030] Specifically, the intermediate connector 3 has multiple annular grooves 12 on both sides surrounding the threaded connector 5, and the end faces of the pipeline connector 1 and the external connector 4 have corresponding annular grooves 12. After the intermediate connector 3 is connected to the pipeline connector 1 and the external connector 4, the sealing ring 6 is squeezed and deformed between the two corresponding annular grooves 12. In this embodiment, after the intermediate connector 3 is connected to the pipeline connector 1 and the external connector 4, the sealing ring 6 is squeezed and deformed between the two corresponding annular grooves 12, which further plays a sealing role. The deformed sealing ring 6 will form multiple seals at the compression point of the annular groove 12, resulting in high sealing performance.

[0031] Specifically, the external connector 4 is provided with a pipeline inlet 13, and the intermediate connector 3 is provided with a receiving interface 14 at the pipeline inlet 13. A sealing positioning ring 15 is fitted on the receiving interface 14. The width of the sealing positioning ring 15 is greater than that of the receiving interface 14. The diameter of the sealing positioning ring 15 after being squeezed and deformed by the pipeline inlet 13 is smaller than that of the receiving interface 14 and the inner diameter of the pipeline inlet 13. In this embodiment, the pipeline inlet 13 will squeeze the outer end of the sealing positioning ring 15, so that the sealing positioning ring 15 squeezes and tightens to fix the external cable for positioning and stable sealing.

[0032] Specifically, the pipeline inlet 13 has a tapered opening structure from left to right; in this embodiment, the tapered opening structure of the pipeline inlet 13 facilitates the gradual compression and tightening of the sealing positioning ring 15 to fix and position the external cable.

[0033] Specifically, the sealing positioning ring 15 is exposed on the inner wall of the receiving interface 14 as an annular toothed groove 16; in this embodiment, the design of the annular toothed groove 16 is conducive to the deformation of the sealing positioning ring 15 and the formation of multiple seals after deformation.

[0034] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0035] Working principle: During connection, the connector end of the external cable is fitted with the intermediate connector 3 and the external connector 4, and the external cable is connected to the pipeline 2. Then, the spring 8 and the positioning post 9 are installed in the upper and lower grooves of the pipeline connector 1. After pressing, the intermediate connector 3 is screwed onto the pipeline connector 1. After it is in place, the positioning post 9 will partially enter the annular groove 10 under the action of the spring 8 to prevent loosening. Then, the external connector 4 is screwed onto the threaded connector 5 of the pipeline 2. Similarly, the positioning post 9 enters the annular groove 10 to prevent loosening. During this process, the pipeline inlet 13 will squeeze the outer end of the sealing positioning ring 15, causing the multiple annular grooves 16 of the sealing positioning ring 15 to squeeze and tighten to fix the external cable for positioning and stable sealing. During this process, after the intermediate connector 3 is connected to the pipeline connector 1 and the external connector 4, the sealing ring 6 is squeezed and deformed between the two corresponding annular grooves 12, further playing a sealing role. The deformed sealing ring 6 will form multiple seals at the compression point of the annular groove 12, resulting in high sealing performance.
