Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a modular multi-channel fluid high-efficiency docking connector. Background Technology

[0002] Modular multi-channel fluid high-efficiency docking connectors have emerged. These connectors adopt a modular concept, integrating multiple fluid channels into a compact structure. They can transmit multiple channels of fluid simultaneously, distributing one fluid to multiple different parts, greatly improving the efficiency and flexibility of fluid transmission. By optimizing the connection structure, they can achieve fast and reliable connections, reduce incorrect connections, and improve safety and convenience. In addition, the modular design also makes the connectors highly scalable and compatible, facilitating flexible adjustments and configurations during upgrades and modifications, and reducing installation and maintenance costs.

[0003] Connectors are difficult to expand and adjust flexibly. On an industrial production line, if new equipment needs to be added or the process flow needs to be optimized, which involves changes in fluid transmission, traditional connectors may not be able to easily interface with the new equipment to meet the new fluid transmission requirements. Often, a large-scale modification of the entire fluid transmission process is required. However, most existing fluid connectors are independent single-channel designs. When using multi-channel applications, multiple independent connectors need to be installed, which leads to complex wiring and difficult maintenance. In addition, when connecting equipment, positional errors can easily cause seal failure or component damage. Furthermore, traditional interfaces have low modularity and are difficult to adapt to different operating conditions. Utility Model Content
