Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a quick-connection device, especially a male connector for quick fluid couplings. Background Technology

[0002] Quick couplings, including hydraulic quick couplings and various fluid quick couplings, are connection devices that quickly connect or disconnect pipelines, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly. Because quick couplings have a bidirectional check valve function, preventing leakage when the pipeline is disconnected, they are widely used in petroleum, metallurgy, hydropower, engineering machinery, shipbuilding, and electromechanical equipment industries. The connection structure of a quick coupling is its most important part; its connection method and structure directly determine the ease of use, reliability, and product quality. Quick couplings consist of two parts: a female connector and a male connector. Existing structures often have valve cores subjected to high impact forces, which may affect the performance and safety of the quick coupling. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the technical problem of high impact force on the valve core, this utility model provides a male connector for quick fluid couplings.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A male quick-connector for fluids includes a plug, a plug connector body fitted on the outer rear wall of the plug, a plug valve core on the inner front wall of the plug, a plug valve core spring between the plug connector body and the plug valve core, a backstop groove on the outer middle wall of the plug, the front part of the plug valve core is an annular body a, the annular body a has a recess in the middle, a valve core O-ring a is located in the recess, spring blocks are located on the upper and lower rear sides of the annular body a, a limiting step is located on the outer side of the spring blocks, a flow guide boss is located between the spring blocks, the flow guide boss is frustum shaped, and flow guide slopes are located on the outer walls of both sides of the flow guide boss.

[0006] The inner diameter of the plug connector body is smaller than the inner diameter of the rear inner wall of the plug. The plug connector body protrudes inward to form a convex ring. A plug valve core spring is provided inside the convex ring. The plug connector body is Z-shaped. A recess is provided at the right angle of the inner wall. An O-ring of the plug connector body is provided at the recess. An expanded inner wall is provided on the front inner wall of the plug. The expanded inner wall is located between the plug valve core and the rear inner wall.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model has a novel structure and a clever and simple design. The plug connector body in the plug is used as a valve seat. The inner side of the convex ring is equipped with a plug valve core spring. The flow guide protrusion avoids structural instability caused by long-term scouring in this area. The fluid is smoothly diverted and depressurized through the outer wall of the truncated cone and the flow guide slope. The steel ball locking method achieves locking and unlocking by pushing and pulling. It is easy to operate. It can maintain a seal in both the plugged and unplugged states, with no leakage, and is safe and reliable. Attached Figure Description

A plug valve core spring 15 is provided inside the convex ring. The plug connector body 8 is Z-shaped. A recess is provided at the right angle of the inner wall. A plug connector body O-ring 17 is provided at the recess. An expanded inner wall is provided on the front inner wall of the plug 2. The expanded inner wall is located between the plug valve core 6 and the rear inner wall.

[0016] The front part of the plug valve core 6 is an annular body a19, with a recess in the middle of the annular body a19. The valve core O-ring a9 is located in the recess. Spring blocks 20 are located on the upper and lower sides of the rear side of the annular body a19. Limiting steps are provided on the outer side of the spring blocks 20. A flow guide boss 21 is provided between the spring blocks 20. The flow guide boss 21 is frustum-shaped. Flow guide slopes 22 are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the flow guide boss 21.

[0017] like Figure 6 , 7As shown in Figures 8 and 9, in use, the female connector includes a housing 1 and an outer sleeve 3.
