[0027] [Example]
[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a floating blind-plug quick connector device, including a female quick connector 100 and a male quick connector 200, which can be quickly connected by plugging into each other. For ease of understanding, in this invention, the end facing the insertion direction of the female quick connector 100 and the male quick connector 200 is called the "front end", and the end facing the removal direction of the female quick connector 100 and the male quick connector 200 is called the "rear end".
[0029] Please see Figures 3 to 5 The female quick connector 100 includes a female housing 1, a fixed valve core 2, a first elastic element 3, and a movable valve core 4. The female housing 1 may be a circular hollow body, allowing a channel to be formed inside for coolant flow. The fixed valve core 2 is disposed inside the female housing 1. The movable valve core 4 may be a circular hollow body, disposed inside the female housing 1, and sleeved outside the fixed valve core 2. The first elastic element 3 is disposed between the rear end of the fixed valve core 2 and the movable valve core 4, with the front end of the first elastic element 3 abutting against the movable valve core 4, allowing the movable valve core 4 to be elastically disposed inside the female housing 1. The first elastic element 3 can push the movable valve core 4 forward, allowing the movable valve core 4 to elastically close the interior of the female housing 1, so that the female quick connector 100 is in a closed state when not engaged with the male quick connector 200.
[0030] A first C-ring 13 may be provided on the inner side of the female end housing 1. The first C-ring 13 is snapped onto the inner side of the female end housing 1 to limit and fix the valve core 2. In this embodiment, the fixed valve core 2 has a rod body 21 and a fixing seat 22. The fixing seat 22 is hollow and is connected to the rear end of the rod body 21. The rear end of the fixing seat 22 abuts against the first C-ring 13, so that the fixed valve core 2 can be stably set in the female end housing 1. A first elastic member 3 is disposed between the fixing seat 22 of the fixed valve core 2 and the movable valve core 4. The fixing seat 22 of the fixed valve core 2 may also be provided with a positioning groove 221. The rear end of the first elastic member 3 can be accommodated in the positioning groove 221 to position the first elastic member 3, so as to avoid the first elastic member 3 and the fixed valve core 2 from being misaligned, so that the fixed valve core 2 and the first elastic member 3 have good positioning.
[0031] In this embodiment, the movable valve core 4 has a first ring 41 and a second ring 42 connected to each other. The outer diameter of the first ring 41 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second ring 42. The front end of the first elastic member 3 abuts against the rear end of the first ring 41. A first contact surface 43 is formed between the first ring 41 and the second ring 42. A second contact surface 11 is provided on the inner side of the female end housing 1. The second contact surface 11 can be used to stop and limit the first contact surface 43 to control the movement stroke of the movable valve core 4, so that the movable valve core 4 can move forward to a predetermined position.
[0032] In this embodiment, two first sealing rings 12 can be provided on the inner side of the female end housing 1 near the front end. The two first sealing rings 12 are spaced apart. When the female end quick connector 100 and the male end quick connector 200 are engaged with each other, the two first sealing rings 12 can be located between the female end housing 1 and the male end housing 5, which can provide a double-layer sealing function and enhance the leakage prevention function.
[0033] Please see Figures 6 to 8 The male quick connector 200 includes a male end housing 5, a retaining ring 6, a tail cap 7, a second elastic element 8, and a male end valve core 9. The male end housing 5 may be a circular hollow body, allowing a channel to be formed inside for coolant flow. The retaining ring 6 is fitted over the male end housing 5, and the tail cap 7 is fitted over the retaining ring 6. A floating space A is formed between the male end housing 5, the retaining ring 6, and the tail cap 7, allowing the male end housing 5 to move relative to the retaining ring 6 and the tail cap 7 in the radial direction of the male quick connector 200. In other words, the male end housing 5 can float relative to the retaining ring 6 and the tail cap 7, thus giving the male quick connector 200 a floating mechanism and providing a floating (circumferential floating) function for smooth engagement with the female quick connector 100. The floating space A may have a floating distance H, which can be 0.5~1.5mm, preferably 1mm, providing an optional floating effect.
[0034] In this embodiment, the male end housing 5 has a plug-in portion 51 and a ring portion 52. The plug-in portion 51 and the ring portion 52 may be cylindrical, and the ring portion 52 is located at the rear end of the plug-in portion 51. A fixing ring 6 is sleeved on the plug-in portion 51 of the male end housing 5, and a tail cap 7 is located on the outside of the fixing ring 6 and the ring portion 52. The floating space A may be located on the outside of the plug-in portion 51 and the ring portion 52, so that the floating space A may be located between the plug-in portion 51 and the fixing ring 6, and between the ring portion 52 and the tail cap 7, so that the male end quick connector 200 has a stable floating function.
[0035] In this embodiment, the front end of the fixing ring 6 has a positioning part 61, which abuts against the front end of the tail cover 7 for positioning. The rear end of the fixing ring 6 has a limiting part 62, which is located on one side of the ring part 52. The limiting part 62 can block and limit the male end shell 5 and the ring part 52, so that there will be no axial displacement between the male end shell 5 and the tail cover 7.
[0036] The male valve core 9 and the second elastic member 8 are disposed inside the male housing 5. In this embodiment, a second C-ring 10 may be disposed on the inner side of the male housing 5. The second C-ring 10 is snapped onto the inner side of the male housing 5. The rear end of the second elastic member 8 abuts against the second C-ring 10 to stop and limit the second elastic member 8. The front end of the second elastic member 8 abuts against the male valve core 9, so that the male valve core 9 is elastically disposed inside the male housing 5. The second elastic member 8 can push the male valve core 9 forward, so that the male valve core 9 can elastically close the interior of the male housing 5. This allows the male quick connector 200 to be in a closed state when not engaged with the female quick connector 100. When the female quick connector 100 and the male quick connector 200 are disassembled, the internal channel remains closed, which can automatically stop water flow and facilitate disassembly.
[0037] A plurality of sliding members 20 are provided between the annular portion 52 of the male end housing 5 and the tail cap 7. These sliding members 20 can be ball bearings or protruding spheres. In this embodiment, the sliding members 20 are ball bearings, and a plurality of receiving grooves 71 are provided on the inner side of the tail cap 7. The sliding members 20 are respectively housed in the receiving grooves 71, and lubricating oil can be added to the receiving grooves 71. The sliding members 20 partially expose the receiving grooves 71, allowing them to slide in contact with the annular portion 52 of the male end housing 5, thus providing a floating motion and making the male end housing 5 float more smoothly. Additionally, as... Figure 9 As shown, the plurality of sliding members 20 may also be protruding spheres. The plurality of sliding members 20 are formed on the inner side of the tail cap 7. The plurality of sliding members 20 can slide in contact with the ring portion 52 of the male end housing 5 so as to provide a floating sliding effect by utilizing the sliding members 20, making the joint float more smoothly.
[0038] In this embodiment, a second sealing ring 30 may be provided between the ring portion 52 of the male end housing 5 and the fixing ring 6 (e.g., Figure 7As shown), it can provide a positive pressure sealing function. A third sealing ring 40 can be provided between the retaining ring 6 and the tail cap 7 to provide a side pressure sealing function, so that the male end housing 5, the retaining ring 6 and the tail cap 7 can provide a preferred sealing performance. In this embodiment, the front end of the insertion part 51 of the male end housing 5 can be provided with a chamfer 53, and the front end of the female end housing 1 of the female end quick connector 100 can also be provided with a tapered hole 14 (as shown). Figure 2 As shown, the tapered hole 14 can be enlarged to facilitate the insertion of the male end housing 5.
[0039] When the female quick connector 100 and the male quick connector 200 are plugged into each other (e.g.) Figure 2 As shown, the fixed valve core 2 and the male valve core 9 can push against each other, and the male housing 5 and the movable valve core 4 can push against each other to open the internal channels of the female quick connector 100 and the male quick connector 200, so that the female quick connector 100 and the male quick connector 200 can be in an open state, allowing the coolant to flow in the female quick connector 100 and the male quick connector 200, so as to facilitate the delivery of coolant.
