Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of quick-connect devices for liquid-cooled pipelines, and more specifically, to a ferrule mechanism that enables anti-unlocking. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, quick-connect devices widely used in liquid cooling pipeline connections consist of a male connector and a female connector. In actual use, after the male and female terminals are plugged in, there is a risk that the locking mechanism may automatically unlock due to misoperation, external vibration, or pulse pressure. This could lead to accidental disconnection of the pipeline, resulting in ineffective cooling of heat-generating components, causing functional degradation, damage, or even spontaneous combustion. Therefore, the connection device needs to have the function of preventing the locking mechanism from being mis-locked under the above-mentioned operating conditions. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a card sleeve mechanism that can achieve anti-unlocking, which is equipped with a male plug and a female connector, wherein the lower end of the male plug and the upper end of the female connector can be detachably and quickly connected.

[0004] The female connector includes a female QC upper housing, a female QC lower housing, a female sleeve, a female valve core, a female locking sleeve, a female locking spring, a female valve stem, a female upper housing end cover, and a female locking spring unlocking button. The lower end of the female QC upper housing is connected and penetrates the upper end of the female QC lower housing. The female locking sleeve is located on the outer side of the upper end of the female QC upper housing and is slidably connected to the female QC upper housing. The female upper housing end cover is located on the outer side of the top of the female QC upper housing. The female locking spring is located on both sides inside the upper end of the female QC upper housing, and a female locking spring unlocking button is provided on one side of the female locking spring. The female locking spring unlocking button is slidably connected to one side of the female upper housing end cover. The female sleeve is located inside the lower end of the female QC upper housing. The female valve stem is located inside the lower end of the female sleeve, and the female valve core is located on the outer side of the upper end of the female valve stem.

[0005] The male connector includes a male QC housing, a male anti-reverse ring, and a male valve core. The male valve core is disposed inside the bottom of the male QC housing and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the male QC housing.

A female locking sleeve return spring 12 is provided between the upper end of the female locking sleeve 10 and the top end of the female QC lower housing 2. A male return spring 20 is provided between the upper end of the male valve core 18 and the lower end of the male anti-reverse ring 17. The female locking spring 11 achieves the locking function through self-resetting force, and its reset direction is orthogonal to the elastic force direction of the female locking sleeve return spring 12.

[0031] A female end isolation ring 7 is provided between the top of the female end sleeve 3 and the inner wall of the female end QC upper housing 1.

[0032] The upper and lower ends of the female end isolation ring 7 are provided with female end inner sealing rings 6, and the top of the female end valve column 13 is provided with a female end valve core sealing ring 8 between the female end valve core 4 and the inner wall of the female end valve core 13.

[0033] The male valve core 18 has a male valve core sealing ring 19 on its lower outer side, and the male QC housing 16 has a male outer sealing ring 22 on its middle outer side.

[0036] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0037] 1. During the locking process, the guide bevel of the male plug contacts the locking spring 11 at the female end, pushing the female locking spring 11 outward. After the male plug is inserted into place, the female locking spring 11 moves to its (shipping) locking position under its own restoring force, locking the male plug. When the male plug and female connector are connected, the end face of the male plug abuts against the end face of the valve core inside the female connector, and the valve core inside the male plug abuts against the end face of the central support column of the lower housing of the female connector, and disengages from their respective sealing ring structures to achieve passage for fluid flow. When the male connector is installed in place, the unlocking button 15 of the female locking spring cannot be pressed, thus preventing the female locking spring 11 from being mistakenly locked.

[0038] 2. Unlocking process: First, move the female locking sleeve 10 downwards to the unlock position. Then, press the female locking spring unlock button 15 to its unlock position. The unlocking ramp on the female locking spring unlock button 15 pushes the female locking spring 11 outwards until the male plug can be smoothly moved out of the housing cavity. After the male plug is completely moved out of the housing cavity, release the female locking spring unlock button 15 and the female locking spring 11. Under the restoring force provided by the female locking spring 11, the female locking spring unlock button 15 moves to its ejection position. The female locking sleeve 10 moves to its ejection position under the push of the female locking sleeve return spring 12. At this time, the female locking spring 11 also moves to its (ejection) locking position under its own restoring force. When the male plug and female connector are in the disconnected state.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
