[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0035] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1-5 A quick-connect crankcase ventilation pipe includes a ventilation pipe body 1, which is made of conventional nylon material and is used to connect to the crankcase.

[0038] Quick-connect connector 2, one end of which is fixedly connected to the ventilation duct body 1 as a whole, and the other end of which is used to form a quick-connect structure with the engine bulge connector.

[0039] The quick-connect crankcase ventilation pipe provided in this embodiment is made of conventional nylon material for the ventilation pipe body 1 to avoid leakage risks. One end of the DC-type quick-connect connector 2 is fixedly connected to the nylon ventilation pipe body 1 by a room temperature bamboo joint press-fit process. The other end of the quick-connect connector 2 can be directly connected to the engine connector to form a quick-connect assembly. Compared with the current mainstream assembly method of rubber hose plus clamp, it can not only solve the leakage problem, but also reduce the assembly time, thereby making the assembly more efficient, more reliable, and more convenient for after-sales service.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The quick-connect crankcase ventilation pipe provided in Embodiment 1 is further optimized. Specifically, the ventilation pipe body 1 is made by extrusion, and the quick-connect connector 2 is made by injection molding and assembly. The quality produced by extrusion is stable and reliable, and continuous production can be achieved. There is no need to stop the machine frequently during the production process, and it can run stably for a long time, which greatly improves the production efficiency. Compared with other molding processes, extrusion molding has a faster production speed, which can meet the needs of large-scale production. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the extrusion process parameters, such as temperature, pressure, screw speed, etc., and by using high-precision die head and cooling and shaping device, the dimensional accuracy of the produced products can be relatively stable with small deviations. At the same time, the assembly process facilitates the assembly of the quick-connect connector 2.

[0042] The quick-connector 2 is made of conventional plastic and metal materials. Compared with the conventional plastic material, the plastic quick-connector 2 has a significant advantage in terms of lightness. The metal material is made of aluminum alloy, which has the significant characteristics of low overall density and light weight.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] The quick-connect crankcase ventilation pipe provided in Embodiment 1 or 2 is further optimized, such as... Figure 2-5 As shown, the quick-connect connector 2 includes a quick-connect housing 201, a quick-connect end 202 disposed on one side of the quick-connect housing 201, and a bamboo joint end 203 fixedly connected to the other side of the quick-connect housing 201. The ventilation tube 1 is fitted and fixed on the outer surface of the bamboo joint end 203. A spring 204 and a first sealing ring 205 are installed inside the quick-connect housing 201. The ventilation tube 1 and the bamboo joint end 203 are fixed by a room temperature bamboo joint connector press-fitting process. A second sealing ring 208 is fitted on the end of the bamboo joint end 203 away from the quick-connect housing 201. The second sealing ring 208 improves the sealing between the ventilation tube 1 and the bamboo joint end 203 and prevents leakage.

[0045] A connecting tube 206 is inserted into the inside of the quick-connect end 202. One end of the connecting tube 206 inside the quick-connect end 202 is fixedly connected to a bulge head 207, which has a conical structure. In use, one end of the connecting tube 206 is connected to the engine, and the bulge head 207 at the other end of the connecting tube 206 can be inserted into the inside of the quick-connect end 202. Then, the restoring force of the spring 204 can make the first sealing ring 205 fit against the inner wall of the bulge head 207 and the quick-connect end 202, forming a stable communication structure. The spring 204 and the first sealing ring 205 inside the ventilation pipe 1 are existing structures.

[0046] Example 4

[0047] The quick-connect crankcase ventilation pipe provided in the above embodiments is further optimized. The material of the quick-connect housing 201 is PA66 GF30. PA66 GF30 is a high-performance engineering material composed of polyamide 66 (PA66) and 30% glass fiber (GF). By combining the impact resistance, heat resistance and chemical corrosion resistance of PA66 with the high strength and high rigidity of glass fiber, the life of the quick-connect connector 2 is improved.

[0048] Both the first sealing ring 205 and the second sealing ring 208 are made of FKM material. FKM is an abbreviation for fluororubber, which is a special synthetic elastomer. Fluororubber can maintain stable physical properties in high-temperature environments and does not melt or decompose.

[0049] Spring 204 is made of metal. Springs made of stainless steel have a beautiful surface finish, good formability, high plasticity, uniform wire diameter, good gloss, corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and high temperature resistance.

[0050] The usage process of the quick-connect crankcase ventilation pipe provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0051] By fitting and fixing the ventilation duct 1 onto the outer surface of the bamboo joint end 203, and improving the sealing between the ventilation duct 1 and the bamboo joint end 203 through the second sealing ring 208, the production is completed after passing the airtightness test and being marked. This combines the ventilation duct 1 and the quick-connect connector 2 together to prevent leakage. In use, one end of the ventilation duct 1 is connected to the crankcase, and the other end is connected to the engine connector. The nylon ventilation duct 1 can absorb the relative movement between the engine and the vehicle body, reduce the impact force of external forces on the ventilation duct 1, and improve its service life.

[0052] By using this quick-connect crankcase ventilation pipe under a working pressure of 50 kPa and a working temperature of -40°C to 120°C, the leakage rate was measured to be ≤10 ml / min.
