AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Current fluid connection designs require difficult assembly processes, necessitate machining for retaining clips, are prone to structural integrity issues, and need tools for assembly, with retaining clips being easily lost.
Method used
A fluid connection assembly with a connector body and retainer featuring a seal overmolded onto the retainer, allowing for tool-free assembly and secure engagement without additional machining, using a tongue-shaped portion to secure the retainer to the connector body.
Benefits of technology
Enables rapid assembly and disassembly with reduced insertion force, ensuring a fluid-tight connection and eliminating the need for separate seals and retention mechanisms.
