[0031] The following is combined Figures 1-8 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0032] Example

[0033] A quick connector for a laptop water cooling system includes a male connector 1 and a female connector 2 that mates with the male connector 1. The male connector 1 is provided with at least two plug valve core assemblies, and the female connector 2 is provided with a socket valve core assembly corresponding to the plug valve core assembly. The male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are provided with fixing components for preventing the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 from disengaging.

[0034] Two plug valve core assemblies are integrated onto male connector 1, and two socket valve core assemblies are integrated onto female connector 2. Female connector 2 is installed on the laptop and is connected to the cooling pipes inside the laptop. Male connector 1 is installed on the pipes of the water chiller. The connection between the water chiller and the laptop is simple, thus enabling rapid pipe connection. The fixing component prevents male connector 1 and female connector 2 from detaching after they are connected, preventing them from slipping due to pipe pressure or external force, and ensuring the safety of using the laptop.

[0035] The male connector 1 includes a male connector housing 101. The plug valve core assembly includes a hollow plug 103 fixed in the male connector housing 101. A movable valve core 104 is movably disposed in the hollow plug 103. A first elastic element 110 that abuts against the movable valve core 104 is disposed in the hollow plug 103. A first connecting tube 102 is threadedly connected to the tail of the hollow plug 103. A first sealing ring 109 is sleeved between the hollow plug 103 and the first connecting tube 102.

[0036] The hollow plug 103 has a conical channel. When the movable valve core 104 is at the smallest end of the conical channel, it blocks the channel. When the movable valve core 104 moves from the smallest end to the largest end, the conical channel is opened. The first elastic element 110 can be a spring, which provides a reset function for the movable valve core 104, ensuring that the conical channel can be closed after the movable valve core 104 has opened. A bracket (not shown in the figure) is provided on the movable valve core 104 to abut against the conical channel, preventing the movable valve core 104 from moving out of the hollow plug 103. The first connecting tube 102 is threadedly connected to the hollow plug 103, facilitating the placement of the movable valve core 104 and the first elastic element 110 into the hollow plug 103 before installing the first connecting tube 102. The first connecting tube 102 limits the first elastic element 110, preventing it from moving out of the hollow plug 103. The first sealing ring 109 is provided to seal the connection gap between the first connecting pipe 102 and the hollow plug 103, thereby preventing leakage.

[0037] The first connecting pipe 102 has at least two symmetrically arranged slots 3. The two slots 3 allow the first connecting pipe 102 to be screwed on with a special tool, avoiding the use of the hexagonal protrusion (the shape of a nut) in the prior art, which is prone to leakage due to accidental contact by the operator.

[0038] The fixing component includes a hook 105 rotatably mounted on the male connector housing 101, a second elastic element 107 positioned between the hook 105 and the male connector housing 101, and a fixing groove 203 on the female connector 2 that mates with the hook 105. When the hook 105 engages in the fixing groove 203, the second elastic element 107 keeps the hook 105 locked within the groove, thus preventing the male connector 1 from detaching. To release the fixing, simply press the hook 105 to deflect it, disengaging it from the fixing groove 203. The second elastic element 107 can be a spring, and both the hook 105 and the male connector housing 101 have guide posts 108. The second elastic element 107 is fitted onto the guide posts 108 to prevent it from disengaging from the hook 105 and the male connector housing 101.

[0039] A rotating shaft 106 is interference-fitted onto the male connector housing 101, and a latch 105 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 106. The rotating shaft 106 is installed onto the male connector housing 101 via an interference fit, thereby enabling the assembly operation of the latch 105.

[0040] The female connector 2 includes a female connector housing 201, in which at least two circular channels 205 are provided. A second connecting pipe 202 is threadedly connected to the circular channels 205. A socket valve core assembly is disposed in the second connecting pipe 202. The socket valve core assembly includes a valve core rod 204 fixedly disposed in the second connecting pipe 202. A valve sleeve 207 is movably sleeved on the outside of the valve core rod 204. A third elastic member 210 is disposed in the second connecting pipe 202 that abuts against the valve sleeve 207.

[0041] When male connector 1 is connected to female connector 2, valve core rod 204 abuts against movable valve core 104 and pushes movable valve core 104 to move. Valve sleeve 207 is pushed open by hollow plug 103, thereby realizing the connection between male connector 1 and female connector 2. After valve sleeve 207 is pushed open, third elastic element 210 is compressed. When male connector 1 and female connector 2 are not connected, third elastic element 210 resets valve sleeve 207, thereby keeping female connector 2 closed. Among them, valve sleeve 207 is conical, and valve core rod 204 has a conical head, thereby restricting valve sleeve 207 from moving out of female connector housing 201.

[0042] A connecting seat 213 is fixedly installed in the second connecting pipe 202. The connecting seat 213 has a porous flow channel. A limiting protrusion 212 is provided on the valve core rod 204. The valve core rod 204 moves through the connecting seat 213 and the limiting protrusion 212 abuts against the connecting seat 213. An installation groove 216 is provided on the valve core rod 204. A U-shaped retaining spring 215 that cooperates with the limiting protrusion 212 to clamp the connecting seat 213 is installed in the installation groove 216.

[0043] The valve core rod 204, the third elastic element 210, and the valve sleeve 207 are placed together into the second connecting pipe 202, and the valve core rod 204 is passed through the connecting seat 213. Then, a special tool is used to snap the U-shaped snap ring 215 into the mounting groove 216, thereby fixing the valve core rod 204 in the second connecting pipe 202 and ensuring the normal use of the valve core rod 204.

[0044] A tapered head 214 is provided at one end of the valve core rod 204 near the mounting groove 216. The tapered head 214 facilitates the valve core rod 204 to pass through the connecting seat 213, and also facilitates the U-shaped retaining ring 215 to be inserted into the mounting groove 216.

[0045] A boss 206 is provided in the circular channel 205, spaced apart from the end face of the second connecting pipe 202. An isolation ring 209 is provided between the boss 206 and the second connecting pipe 202. Second sealing rings 208 are provided on both sides of the isolation ring 209. A third sealing ring 211 is sleeved between the female connector housing 201 and the second connecting pipe 202.

[0046] The isolation ring 209 separates the two second sealing rings 208 to increase the sealing performance during the connection process between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2, reducing leakage. When installing the two second sealing rings 208 and the isolation ring 209, insert them into the female connector housing 201 from the end away from the boss 206, and abut against the boss 206. Then, screw the second connecting pipe 202, with the valve core rod 204 installed, onto the female connector housing 201 to complete the installation of the female connector 2. The third sealing ring 211 seals the gap between the second connecting pipe 202 and the female connector housing 201 to prevent leakage.

[0047] The second connecting pipe 202 is also provided with at least two symmetrically arranged slots 3. The two slots 3 allow the second connecting pipe 202 to be screwed on with a special tool, avoiding the use of the hexagonal protrusion (the shape of a nut) in the prior art, which is prone to leakage due to accidental contact by the operator.

[0048] Both the movable valve core 104 and the valve core rod 204 are equipped with sealing rings at their heads to ensure their sealing performance.

[0049] The female connector 2 of this application is disposed on the side wall of the laptop casing, and the end face of the female connector 2 is recessed into the side wall of the laptop casing. When the male connector 1 is connected to the female connector 2, as... Figure 8 As shown, a certain gap is left between the end face of the male connector shell 101 and the female connector 2 to avoid the laptop shell. At the same time, a gap is left between the side wall of the hook 105 and the side wall of the fixing groove 203 to meet the connection error and product size error.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
