Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oil cooler technology, and specifically relates to a connector structure for oil coolers. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive industry, oil coolers, as critical thermal management components, play a vital role in maintaining the normal operating temperature of the engine and transmission system. The oil cooler connector structure is a key link connecting the oil cooler to the cooling system piping, and its design directly affects cooling efficiency and system reliability.

[0003] Currently, automotive oil cooler joints rely on a single rubber sealing ring to achieve static sealing. While this traditional sealing solution has the advantages of simple structure and low cost, the sealing mechanism is overly dependent on mechanical clamping force. Secondly, the sealing ring is prone to permanent deformation, hardening and cracking under long-term immersion in high-temperature oil, and there is also a risk of chemical corrosion when facing cooling media such as ethylene glycol. Furthermore, this structure lacks redundant design, and the failure of a single sealing element can lead to leakage of the entire cooling system, posing a significant safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a joint structure for oil coolers to solve the problem of insufficient sealing performance of existing joint structures mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a connector structure for an oil cooler, comprising a connecting pipe with a connector at one end and a plug at the other end; an end pipe screwed into the connector, and the two being threadedly connected, wherein the end pipe is a pipe connected to an external oil cooler or related equipment of the oil cooler; a sealing assembly is provided inside the connector, the sealing assembly comprising: a mating member, coaxially arranged with the connector, the mating member being threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connector; and an adjusting member disposed between the mating member and the connector, wherein the adjusting member pushes the mating member upward to achieve a sealing connection between the mating member and the end pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the docking component includes a docking sleeve and a closing ring;

[0007] The connecting sleeve consists of a ring and a hollow cylinder fixed at the center of the bottom end face of the ring. The hollow cylinder part of the connecting sleeve passes through the connector and is inserted into the interior of the connecting pipe. The outer wall of the hollow cylinder of the connecting sleeve fits seamlessly with the inner wall of the connecting pipe.

[0008] The closed ring is fixed on the top surface of the annular part of the mating sleeve, and the inner side of the closed ring has an inclined surface facing outward.

[0009] Preferably, the adjusting element is a spring, and the two ends of the spring abut against the bottom end face of the mating sleeve ring and the inner bottom end face of the connector, respectively.

[0010] Preferably, a mating ring is fixed to the inner wall of the end tube. The mating ring fits against the top surface of the closing ring. Under the elastic force of the spring, the closing ring will press against the bottom surface of the mating ring, thereby achieving a sealing effect.

[0011] During installation, first screw the end tube into the connector. As the end tube is screwed down, it will compress the mating sleeve. At this time, under the spring's rebound, the closing ring will press against the mating ring. During use, the medium will be directly transmitted from the hollow cylinder of the mating sleeve. During medium transmission, the closing ring and the mating ring form the first seal. At the same time, the end tube will press against the sealing gasket as it is screwed down, forming a second seal to increase the sealing effect.

[0012] Preferably, the top surface of the annulus constituting the mating sleeve is further provided with a sealing gasket, which abuts against the bottom surface of the end tube to form a second seal, further preventing leakage. At the same time, the sealing gasket here will not come into contact with the medium under normal circumstances, so it can have a long service life.

[0013] Preferably, a semi-circular groove is formed at the middle of the contact surface of the closing ring and the docking ring, and a sealing ring is embedded in the groove. The sealing ring abuts against the closing ring and the docking ring respectively, thereby improving the sealing effect of the docking ring and the closing ring.

[0014] Preferably, the connector has at least two outwardly expanding bosses, the longitudinal section of which is an isosceles trapezoid.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] In this invention, by adding a sealing component inside the oil cooler, multiple seals can be achieved. Compared with the traditional single rubber sealing ring, this sealing component not only significantly reduces the risk of leakage through multiple sealing lines, but also reduces the direct contact area between the sealing ring and the high-temperature oil by optimizing the contact interface of the sealing medium, which is an improvement over the traditional structure and significantly extends the service life of the sealing ring system.
