Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of hydraulic pipeline connection devices, and more specifically, to a hydraulic fluid connector. Background Technology

[0002] The hydraulic hose connector industry currently suffers from severe homogenization. Over 60% of products in the global market still use Eaton's existing Yonghua design structure, with only a few international brands offering differentiated solutions. This design convergence leads to stagnant product innovation, slow technological upgrades, and an inability to meet the ever-increasing performance demands of hydraulic systems.

[0003] Existing connectors have revealed significant defects during long-term use: their simple groove structure design in the crimping area leads to uneven distribution of the steel wire layer's interlocking force. Under pulse pressure conditions, stress concentration caused by changes in the inner rubber layer and temperature accelerates seal failure; simultaneously, excessive deformation of the inner bore after crimping not only reduces fluid throughput but also causes localized pressure surges, directly affecting the product's pressure resistance and pulse life. Conventional products struggle to meet the requirements of high-frequency pulse testing, becoming a long-standing technical bottleneck in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems in related technologies, this utility model proposes a hydraulic fluid connector that can overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art.

The depth of the damping grooves gradually increases from near the hose insertion end to away from the insertion end, and the width of the groove bottom gradually changes in the axial direction, forming a variable cross-section groove structure. The variable cross-section groove structure is configured to gradient the distribution of the steel wire layer interlocking force after crimping and reduce the amount of inner hole deformation.

[0008] Furthermore, the cross-section of the damping groove is trapezoidal, and the included angle α between the two side walls of the trapezoid satisfies: 90°<α<120°.

[0009] Furthermore, the included angle β formed by the extended surfaces of the trapezoidal side walls of the damping groove is 55°-65°.

[0010] Furthermore, the ratio of the spacing L between adjacent damping grooves to the maximum groove depth H satisfies: 1.5 ≤ L / H ≤ 2.5.

[0011] Furthermore, the crimping section forms a gradient interlocking structure with the steel wire layer of the hose through the damping groove; in the gradient interlocking structure, the depth of the steel wire layer embedded in the damping groove increases by 0.2-0.4 mm from the insertion end of the hose to the distal end.

[0012] Furthermore, the crimping section includes a transition zone and a locking zone, and the distribution density of the damping groove in the locking zone is greater than that in the transition zone.

[0013] Furthermore, the damping groove depth variation gradient of the locking zone is 1.2-1.8 times that of the transition zone.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting body is made of 20# low carbon steel with a surface hardness of HB 131-156.

[0015] Furthermore, the radius of curvature R of the bottom of the variable cross-section groove structure satisfies: 0.2mm≤R≤ 0.5mm.

[0016] Furthermore, the ratio of the axial length of the damping groove to the maximum groove depth is 3:1 to 5:1.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by using a variable cross-section gradient design for the damping groove of the crimping section, the steel wire layer interlocking force is more evenly distributed and the inner hole deformation is reduced, thereby improving service life, enhancing pressure resistance stability, and reducing local pressure surges. At the same time, it breaks through the limitations of homogenization and achieves synergistic optimization of two-layer hoses for 600,000 cycles and four-layer hoses for 1 million pulse leak-free operation.
