Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of precision instrument technology, and in particular to a quick-connect microtube reducing connector with a sealing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Microtube reducers are primarily used to connect microtubes of different diameters, enabling diameter transitions within piping systems. They ensure stable transmission of fluids, gases, and other media between microtubes of varying sizes, reducing resistance and leakage risks. Commonly used in precision instruments, medical devices, and microfluidic systems, they ensure the sealing and compatibility of pipe connections and are a key component for achieving different diameter connections in micropipeline systems.

[0003] Existing micro-tube reducers have the problem of slow connection speed, often requiring manual alignment, which is time-consuming and prone to repeated adjustments due to misalignment during installation. This is especially true when assembling multi-pipe systems, where efficiency is even lower. In addition, some joints rely on auxiliary tools for fastening, further prolonging the operation process and affecting the convenience and timeliness of the overall pipeline construction.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a quick-connect microtube reducer with a sealing structure to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a quick-connect microtube reducing connector with a sealing structure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a quick-connect microtube reducer with a sealing structure, including a connector and further comprising:

[0007] A reinforcement component, comprising a support tube disposed on one side of the connector, a sliding groove being provided on one side of the support tube, a rolling ball being slidably disposed inside the sliding groove, and a connecting pad being provided on one side of the support tube;

[0008] The quick-connect assembly includes a connecting tube disposed on one side of a support tube, a retaining tube disposed on the outer side of the connecting tube, a compression pad disposed inside the retaining tube, a groove being formed on the inner wall of the retaining tube, and an anti-slip pad being disposed through the groove of the retaining tube.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing groove is provided inside the connecting tube, and the fixing groove is engaged with the connecting pad.

[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the fixing groove of the connecting pipe and the connecting pad of the support pipe are engaged, which enhances the connection sealing performance.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the connecting pipes has a slot, a rotating shaft is provided on the connecting pipe through the slot, a snap-fit ​​block is provided on the rotating shaft, and a spring piece is provided on the connecting pipe through the slot, with the other end of the spring piece connected to the snap-fit ​​block.

[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: a rotating shaft is provided at the groove of the connecting pipe, and the locking block on the shaft can rotate around the shaft. The spring piece at the groove connects to the locking block and provides elastic force. When connecting, after the locking block is pushed and rotated, the spring piece resets it and locks it, thus achieving a stable connection.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner wall of the support tube is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the snap-fit ​​block snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the snap-fit ​​groove on the inner wall of the support tube snaps into the snap-fit ​​block of the connecting tube, thereby achieving rapid fixation and enhancing connection stability.

[0015] Furthermore, a reinforcing tube is provided on the outside of the connector near the support tube.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the reinforcing tube on the outside of the connector is close to the supporting tube, which enhances the connection strength between the two and improves stability.

[0017] Furthermore, a reducing pipe is provided on the side of the connecting pipe away from the clamping pipe.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the reducing pipe on the side of the connecting pipe away from the clamping pipe can be adapted to different pipe diameters to achieve a reducing pipe connection.

[0019] Furthermore, the inner wall of the connector is provided with threaded grooves.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the threaded groove on the inner wall of the connector can be screwed onto the external threaded pipe fitting to achieve a stable connection and ensure sealing.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. When the reinforcement component is in use, the support tube provides basic support, the sliding groove provides sliding space for the rolling ball, and the rolling ball can move flexibly in the groove to adjust its position. The connecting pad can enhance the sealing during connection and reduce wear between components, so that the entire reinforcement component can achieve a stable connection and good sealing effect during use.

[0023] 2. When using the quick-connect assembly, the connecting tube serves as the basic component and works in conjunction with the support tube. The snap-fit ​​tube is used to achieve a quick snap-fit ​​operation. The compression pad inside the snap-fit ​​tube is compressed during snap-fit, which enhances the tightness and sealing of the connection. The anti-slip pad with grooves on the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​tube can increase friction and prevent the connecting parts from sliding, so that the quick-connect assembly can complete the connection task quickly, stably and in a sealed manner.

[0034] 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.

[0035] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a quick-connect microtube reducer with a sealing structure, including a connector 1, and further comprising:

[0036] The reinforcement component 5 includes a support tube 52 disposed on one side of the connector 1. A sliding groove 53 is provided on one side of the support tube 52. A rolling ball 54 is slidably disposed inside the sliding groove 53. A connecting pad 56 is provided on one side of the support tube 52. When the reinforcement component 5 is in use, the support tube 52 provides basic support, the sliding groove 53 provides sliding space for the rolling ball 54, and the rolling ball 54 can move flexibly in the groove to adjust its position. The connecting pad 56 can enhance the sealing during connection and reduce wear between components, so that the entire reinforcement component 5 can achieve a stable connection and good sealing effect during use.

[0037] The quick-connect assembly 2 includes a connecting pipe 21 disposed on one side of the support pipe 52. A snap-fit ​​tube 22 is disposed on the outer side of the connecting pipe 21. Each snap-fit ​​tube 22 is provided with a compression pad 23 inside. The inner wall of the snap-fit ​​tube 22 is provided with a groove. The snap-fit ​​tube 22 is provided with an anti-slip pad 24 through the groove. When using the quick-connect assembly 2, the connecting pipe 21 serves as a basic component to cooperate with the support pipe 52. The snap-fit ​​tube 22 is used to realize a quick snap-fit ​​operation. The compression pad 23 inside is compressed during snap-fit, which enhances the tightness and sealing of the connection. The anti-slip pad 24 provided by the groove on the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​tube 22 can increase the friction and prevent the connecting parts from sliding, so that the quick-connect assembly 2 can complete the connection task quickly, stably and in a sealed manner.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown: The connecting pipe 21 has a slot on its upper part. The connecting pipe 21 has a rotating shaft 27 through the slot. The rotating shaft 27 is equipped with a snap-fit ​​block 25. The connecting pipe 21 has a spring piece 28 through the slot. The other end of the spring piece 28 is connected to the snap-fit ​​block 25. The connecting pipe 21 has a rotating shaft 27 at the slot. The snap-fit ​​block 25 on the shaft can rotate around the shaft. The spring piece 28 at the slot is connected to the snap-fit ​​block 25 and provides elastic force. When connected, after the snap-fit ​​block 25 is pushed and rotated, the spring piece 28 resets it and locks it, so as to achieve a stable connection.

[0039] The above solutions still have issues with fast connection speed, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown: In this solution, the inner wall of the support tube 52 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 55, the snap-fit ​​block 25 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 55, and the snap-fit ​​groove 55 on the inner wall of the support tube 52 snaps into the snap-fit ​​block 25 of the connecting tube 21, so as to achieve quick fixation and enhance connection stability.

[0040] Working principle: such as Figures 1-5As shown, the inner wall threaded groove 3 of the connector 1 is screwed into the external threaded pipe fitting to ensure a stable connection and sealing. The outer reinforcing pipe 51 is close to the support pipe 52 to enhance the connection strength and stability. The support pipe 52 provides basic support. The sliding groove 53 allows the rolling ball 54 to slide and adjust its position. The connecting pad 56 is engaged with the fixing groove 26 of the connecting pipe 21 to enhance the sealing. The connecting pipe 21, as a basic component, cooperates with the support pipe 52. The locking block 25 on the rotating shaft 27 at its slot can rotate. The spring piece 28 provides elasticity. When connected, the locking block 25 is pushed and rotated and then resets, engaging with the locking groove 55 on the inner wall of the support pipe 52 to achieve quick fixation and stable connection. In the quick-connect assembly 2, the locking pipe 22 achieves quick engagement. The internal compression pad 23 is compressed to enhance tightness and sealing. The inner anti-slip pad 24 increases friction and prevents slippage. The reducing pipe 4 on one side of the connecting pipe 21 is adapted to different pipe diameters to achieve a reducing pipe connection. The whole assembly achieves a quick, stable, and sealed reducing pipe connection.
