[0033] This application provides a connector with multiple connection types, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the connector is used for draining engine oil or coolant. The connector includes a connector body 2 and a connector mounting base 1. The connector mounting base 1 includes a first mounting part 100 and a second mounting part 110 connected to the connector body 2. The first mounting part 100 is provided with a first assembly structure, and the second mounting part 110 is provided with a second assembly structure. The connector body 2 is connected to the first assembly structure or the second assembly structure.

[0034] This application solution provides two mounting positions for the same connector by simultaneously setting a first mounting part 100 and a second mounting part 110. Each mounting position has a different assembly structure, enabling the same connector to achieve different types of assembly connections. Depending on the connection type of the connector body 2, either the first or second assembly structure that is compatible with it is selected for connection. Complete assembly of the connector is achieved in either the first mounting part 100 or the second mounting part 110, eliminating the need to change the connector connector seat based on the type of connector body 2, thus achieving assembly versatility.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first mounting part 100 is located outside the connector mounting base 1, and the second mounting part 110 is located inside the connector mounting base 1.

[0036] In this solution, by setting the first mounting part 100 and the second mounting part 110 inside and outside the connector mounting base 1 respectively, the connector mounting base 1 can be connected to different types of connector connectors 2 through the inside and outside, thus achieving the universality of internal and external connection of the same connector.

[0037] It is understandable that the specific external and internal locations of the first mounting part 100 and the second mounting part 110 can be selected according to usage and assembly requirements, thereby setting up the first assembly structure and the second assembly structure. The specific setting method of the first assembly structure and the second assembly structure can be selected from commonly used assembly structures according to the usage scenario.

[0038] In one embodiment, the connector body 2 includes a rubber tube, and the first mounting part 100 is connected to the rubber tube. Rubber tube connection is a common method; it is sleeved outside the connector seat and can be fixed by clamps. The specific arrangement of the first mounting part 100 and the first assembly structure can be varied, as long as the rubber tube connection can be achieved. The following embodiments can be referred to:

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the first mounting part 100 is located at the end of the connector mounting base 1, and the first assembly structure includes an annular locking protrusion 101 disposed on the first mounting part 100. The connector mounting base 1 is also provided with a flange 120, and the hose is sleeved on the outside of the annular locking protrusion 101 and extends to the flange 120.

[0040] In this embodiment, an annular locking protrusion 101 is provided at the end to limit the hose and prevent the hose from detaching in the opposite direction. Furthermore, after the hose is connected, a clamp can be provided between the annular locking protrusion 101 and the flange 120 to fix the hose.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment, the first mounting part 100 is located on the outer wall surface of the connector mounting base 1, and the first assembly structure includes a plurality of protruding rings 102 evenly arranged along the outer wall surface of the connector mounting base 1, so that the connector mounting base 1 is in the shape of a pagoda.

[0042] In this embodiment, the convex ring 102 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the connector mounting base 1. Preferably, the convex ring 102 is integrally formed with it. The hose is sleeved on the outside of the convex ring 102 and extends to the flange 120. In this embodiment, the convex ring 102 can be configured to be narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, that is, the diameter of the convex ring 102 gradually increases, so as to provide a barrier when the hose tends to loosen.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment, the first assembly structure includes an annular boss 103 disposed on the outer wall of the connector mounting base 1 and a plurality of annular protrusions 104 disposed between the annular boss 103 and the flange 120, the annular protrusions 104 being evenly distributed along the axial direction of the connector mounting base 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, the annular boss 103 can be configured similarly to the annular locking protrusion 101, with multiple annular protrusions 104 evenly arranged along the hose insertion direction. This helps increase the friction between the hose and the connector mounting base 1, preventing the hose from slipping off. In this embodiment, clamps can also be used to limit and fix the hose, ensuring connection stability.

[0045] It is understandable that, in the above-mentioned embodiments, depending on the insertion direction of the hose, whether it is the annular protrusion or the annular boss 103, its protruding surface extends obliquely towards the insertion direction of the hose, which is beneficial for guiding the inserted hose and can stop the reverse movement of the hose during use.

[0046] In addition to the above-mentioned embodiments, other similar structures can be set to increase friction during hose installation and stop the hose from sliding off.

[0047] In addition, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present application also includes a second mounting part 110. In one embodiment, the second mounting part 110 is located on the inner wall of the connector mounting base 1. The connector connector 2 includes a connector with external threads, and the second assembly structure includes an internal thread 111 provided in the second mounting part 110.

[0048] The connector mounting base 1 is provided with a first mounting part 100 and a second mounting part 110. The second mounting part 110 is connected to the connector body 2 by a threaded connection. Thus, the connector can be connected to a hose through the first mounting part 100 and also to a threaded connection through the second mounting part 110. One connector mounting base 1 can realize different connection and assembly methods.

[0049] Furthermore, the internal thread 111 includes a tapered thread, or a seal is provided between the second assembly structure and the connector.

[0050] When using metric threaded connections, a sealing gasket 130 or a rubber ring can be used as a sealing element, placed between the connector mounting base 1 and the connector body 2 to enhance the seal.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the connector mounting base 1 further includes a third mounting portion 140, which is fixedly connected to the engine component.

[0052] Furthermore, the third mounting part 140 includes connecting threads, or the third mounting part 140 is interference-fitted with the engine component. For example, the connector mounting seat 1 is fixed to the oil pan 3 interface by means of the third mounting part 140. Whether it is set with a threaded connection or other form of connection can be set according to the actual application scenario.

[0053] For any parts not mentioned in this application, existing technologies may be used or referenced.

[0054] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0055] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
