Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing joint technology for sealing testers, and in particular to a leak-proof self-locking sealing joint structure for airtightness testers. Background Technology

[0002] An airtightness tester is a professional instrument used to test the sealing performance of products or equipment. By simulating a specific pressure environment, it monitors the gas leakage inside or outside the tested object and determines whether it meets the prescribed airtightness standards.

Each time the airtightness tester pipe is fixed to the connector, the staff needs to manually tighten the bolts to connect them. The sealing performance is relatively poor, and the operation is relatively cumbersome. It does not have the ability to quickly lock and fix the connection. To address the above problems, a leak-proof self-locking airtightness tester sealing connector structure is proposed for improvement and upgrading. Utility Model Content

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a leak-proof self-locking airtightness tester sealing joint structure, including a joint sleeve 1. One end of the joint sleeve 1 is fixedly provided with a fluid pipe and the fluid pipe has a tail fluid hole 2. The other end of the joint sleeve 1 is provided with multiple locking claws 6 and a sealing ring 8 is provided on the rear side of the locking claws 6. The outer wall of the sealing ring 8 is in contact with the connecting cylinder 10. One end of the connecting cylinder 10 is fixedly attached with a first spring 11. The other end of the first spring 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the joint sleeve 1. Guide rods 12 are symmetrically fixedly provided on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 10. Limiting protrusions 16 are provided at the upper ends of the two guide rods 12. Pressing columns 4 are symmetrically provided at the upper and lower ends inside the joint sleeve 1.

[0022] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the connector sleeve 1 is made of stainless steel. One end of the connector sleeve 1 is inclined on the mating surface of the locking claw 6. The outer wall of the locking claw 6 is in contact with the inclined surface. The outer wall of the connector sleeve 1 is provided with anti-slip knurling 3. A connecting pipe 5 is provided on one side of the connector sleeve 1. The connecting pipe 5 is adapted to the size of the connector sleeve 1. A plastic anti-slip pad 7 is fixedly installed inside each locking claw 6. A insertion groove 9 is opened inside each locking claw 6. A sealing ring 8 is fixedly installed inside the insertion groove 9. One end of the connecting cylinder 10 is adapted to the size of the insertion groove 9. The locking claw 6 is connected to the connecting cylinder 10.

[0023] The anti-slip knurling 3 facilitates operator gripping of the connector, increases friction, and prevents hand slippage during insertion or removal of the pipe, improving ease of operation and operability. The tail fluid hole 2 allows test gas to smoothly enter the connector and reach the tested pipe, enabling airtightness testing. The stainless steel material of the connector sleeve 1 enhances overall structural strength, stability, and corrosion resistance, adapting to different working environments and testing requirements. A plastic anti-slip pad 7 is installed on the inner wall of the locking claw 6, ensuring relative stability during pipe clamping and locking, preventing lateral slippage and affecting airtightness testing. Simultaneously, an inclined surface at one end of the connector sleeve 1, conforming to the outer wall of the locking claw 6, facilitates rapid retraction of the locking claw 6 into the connector sleeve 1 when the pipe is pressed inside, providing a limiting position. The connecting pipe 5 is compatible with the sealing ring 8, which is made of neoprene rubber, offering excellent elasticity and sealing performance to prevent gas leakage.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, both guide rods 12 have mounting grooves 14 inside, and a retaining spring 15 is fixedly installed inside the mounting groove 14. One end of the retaining spring 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting protrusion 16. The upper and lower sides of the connector sleeve 1 are provided with guide grooves 13 that are adapted to the size of the guide rods 12. The guide rods 12 are slidably connected inside the guide grooves 13. The connector sleeve 1 has a snap-fit ​​groove that communicates with one end of the guide groove 13. The snap-fit ​​groove is adapted to the size of the pressing post 4.

[0025] By setting the guide groove 13, when the connecting cylinder 10 drives the guide rod 12 to squeeze the first spring 11, the two guide rods 12 drive the limiting protrusion 16 to move to the snap-fit ​​groove and use the spring force of the snap-fit ​​spring 15 to limit it. At the same time, the contact part between the guide groove 13 and the snap-fit ​​groove is relatively smooth, which makes it easy for the pressing column 4 to slide quickly in the guide groove 13 when it squeezes the limiting protrusion 16. The pressing column 4 is slidably installed inside the snap-fit ​​groove. The first spring 11 is set. When the pipe is inserted into the connector, the first spring 11 is compressed and stores energy. When the pressing column 4 squeezes the limiting protrusion 16, it causes the guide rod 12 to drive the connecting cylinder 10 to push the locking claw 6 to move outward under the energy released by the first spring 11, thereby causing the connecting pipe 5 to be misaligned with the connector sleeve 1, and the pipe is quickly disassembled.

[0026] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: When connecting and fixing the pipe fitting to the connector sleeve 1, firstly, when pushing one end of the connecting pipe fitting 5 forward into the connector sleeve 1, the locking claws 6 at the front end of the connector are open due to the compression of the internal first spring 11 and the cooperation of the connecting cylinder 10 structure. When the front end of the connecting pipe fitting 5 abuts against the front end structure of the connector and is inserted inward, it causes one end of the connecting pipe fitting 5 to compress the sealing ring 8, which causes multiple locking claws 6 to retract into the connector sleeve 1. Continuing to push it into the rated position, the connecting cylinder 10 compresses the first spring 11 to store force. When the connecting cylinder 10 moves, the limiting protrusions 16 on the two guide rods 12 are engaged with the snap-fit ​​groove in cooperation with the snap-fit ​​spring 15, causing the locking claws 6 to retract and utilize the plastic anti-slip material. The pad 7 quickly and automatically locks the connecting pipe fitting 5, while the front end of the connector and the sealing ring 8 on the end face of the pipe fitting are squeezed to form a good sealing surface. This allows the pipe fitting and connector to be quickly locked and fixed while effectively sealing and preventing leakage. After the test is completed, the test fluid is first drained out. Then, by holding the anti-slip knurled part 3 of the connector with one hand and pressing the two pressing posts 4 in opposite directions, the two limiting protrusions 16 are squeezed. The limiting protrusions 16 are compressed under the action of the snap ring 15. When the size of the limiting protrusions 16 is aligned with the guide groove 13, the guide rod 12 on the connecting cylinder 10 is ejected outward along the direction of the guide groove 13 under the action of the first spring 11. This causes multiple locking claws 6 to slide out along the inclined surface. Then, the connecting pipe fitting 5 is quickly disassembled. The operation is simple.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
