Abstract
Description
A multi-angle free-flowing fluid connector Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulators, and in particular to the field of liquid conduction technology for granulators, specifically a multi-angle free liquid guide connector. Background Technology
[0002] The existing automatic lubrication module for pellet mills adds semi-solid grease in low winter temperatures, resulting in low lubrication efficiency. The lubricating grease needs to be preheated to a certain temperature before being fed into the pellet mill's main shaft and pressure rollers to turn the semi-solid grease into a liquid state. If traditional electric heating is used, it will put a heavy burden on the existing pellet mill's power supply system and consume a lot of energy. Therefore, a section of shaft is extended at the drive shaft end outside the pellet mill's main shaft box via a connecting shaft. A bushing is then fitted on the outside of the extended shaft, and a channel is opened between the bushing and the shaft to allow the lubricating grease to absorb the heat generated by friction between the bushing and the shaft through heat conduction.
[0003] During the process of grease being poured out of the heating channel, it was found that if a threaded hole is directly drilled on the outside of the bushing to connect to the channel, and an oil nozzle is inserted into the hole, the side wall of the bushing is relatively thin, and the inside of the bushing is an extended shaft. It is impossible to set up an oil nozzle embedded in the inner side wall of the bushing on one side. Only a quick-connect oil nozzle can be set up by threading. In actual use, there will always be a certain angle between the connecting surface of the quick-connect oil nozzle and the mounting surface of the outer side wall of the bushing. This results in a small contact area between the oil nozzle and the coupling, and a large pressure inside the bushing. Oil leakage will occur after about 3 hours of continuous use. In addition, the hole position of the threaded hole is fixed, making it more troublesome to install the oil pipe. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-angle free fluid guide connector to solve the difficulties of the prior art.

This invention does not limit the type of bushing, but the structure of the copper nut 1, free channel 2, sealing structure 3, and anti-rotation structure 4 is particularly suitable for the improved design of the oil circuit of a pellet mill.
[0043] Overall, the multi-angle free fluid guiding connector proposed in this utility model mainly includes a copper nut 1, a free channel 2, a sealing structure 3, and an anti-rotation structure 4. As shown in Figure 1, the arrangement of the copper nut 1, the free channel 2, the sealing structure 3, and the anti-rotation structure 4 is shown.
[0044] When using the multi-angle free-flowing fluid connector proposed in this utility model, the copper nut 1 is fitted onto the outside of the oil outlet hole in the bushing 5. The spacing between the oil holes is the same as the width of the copper nut 1. The number of copper nuts 1 is designed according to the number of oil outlet holes.

During the oil circuit layout process, the copper nut 1 can be rotated to a suitable angle according to the position of the oil port corresponding to the required oil supply, which facilitates the installation of the oil pipeline in the oil circuit. This structure, by adding the copper nut 1 as an interface, designs a free channel 2 structure to make the oil pipe connection more flexible. In addition, the long oil outlet hole 22 designed on the copper nut 1, together with the step designed inside the oil outlet hole 22, increases the bottom contact area of the oil nozzle 23 or plug 24, resulting in high connection strength and less oil leakage.

A step is provided in the center of the oil outlet 22. The top diameter of the oil outlet 22 is larger than the bottom diameter. A thread is provided on the inner wall of the top of the oil outlet 22. An oil nozzle 23 or a plug 24 is inserted into the oil outlet 22.
[0047] The sealing structure 3 is provided on the inner wall of the copper nut 1 on the left and right sides of the free channel 2. The sealing structure 3 includes a sealing groove 31 and a rubber sealing ring 32. The sealing groove 31 is provided on the inner wall of the copper nut 1 on the left and right sides of the oil groove 21. One side of the rubber sealing ring 32 is stuck in the sealing groove 31, and the other side of the rubber sealing ring 32 is tightly fitted on the outside of the bushing 5.
[0048] The aforementioned anti-rotation structure 4 is fitted on the outside of one or more copper nuts 1. The anti-rotation structure 4 includes: a U-shaped sleeve 41, a locking threaded hole 42, and a locking bolt 43. The U-shaped sleeve 41 is fitted on the outside of several copper nuts 1. The locking threaded hole 42 is opened on the left and right sides of the U-shaped sleeve 41. The locking bolt 43 is engaged in the locking threaded hole 42 by threaded engagement.
