1 TARIFF FOR USE IN FEMALE FITTINGS OF BRAKE PIPES. PROTECTIVE PLUG TECHNICAL FIELD The invention provides a temporary connection for the internal fitting of a threaded connector located at the end of a brake pipe. It relates to a protective plug used to close it. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Production of hydraulic brake lines, widely used in the automotive industry, during bending, shipping and storage processes, located at the end of the brake tube A protective plug for temporarily closing the inner connection opening of a threaded fitting 15 It is directed towards the structure. In particular, the inner surface of the brake pipes through which the brake fluid is carried. Preventing exposure to dirt, particles and other external factors, while ensuring production. twisting machines, feeding tables and support systems used in the lines The aim is to preserve geometric and functional harmony. In this context... The invention is a 20-inch threaded fitting that fits snugly into a brake pipe, integrated with the brake tube. performing a protective sealing function and being part of the automotive brake systems manufacturing process. This text discusses the technical details regarding the design of the compatible protective plug. In the known state of the art, this is to protect the threaded ends of brake lines. The plugs used are generally plastic elements that fit into the inner cavity of the fitting, 25 Most of these have side-shaped or central-shaped ears (See Figure 1a) or middle-shaped ears (See Figure 1b) is designed in this form. Side-opening plugs, brake pipe bend. movement of machines on feed tables or downward inclined conveyor lines Obstacles caused by ear protrusions positioned perpendicularly or at an angle to the ear canal, This leads to blockages and interruptions in flow. 30 with a central ear. In the case of plugs, the ear portion serves as the length reference function of the twisting machine. It makes contact with the support device that it is using, resulting in the brake pipe breaking. The length referenced to the machine is shifting and in the pipe routing after bending. Undesirable deviations occur. These types of lugged designs cause the brake lines to deviate. 2 Combined with the fact that it cannot be processed without installing a pre-bending plug, the production unavoidable process inconsistencies, quality risks, and downtime in the production lines It constitutes. In this context, the technical problem is the bending and manufacturing process of brake pipe threaded fittings. 5 However, a protective plug is needed to ensure internal protection throughout. The supply line, conveying ducts and length of the existing ear-shaped plug solutions Due to mechanical conflicts with referencing devices, production The disruption of continuity and the erroneous referencing of pipe lengths are some of the issues. Another one... In other words, it provides a reliable protection against the ingress of dirt and particles to the inner surface of the brake pipe. This ensures that it is protected and also provides support to the twisting machine feeding systems. without getting caught on, hitting, or colliding with inclined conveyor lines and support elements. A protective plug geometry that can be integrated without creating a false reference. Therefore, the main engineering problem that needs to be solved is the plug. ear-like protrusions that contradict the production line kinematics of the external geometry 15 without containing, and also a structure that can be easily removed by the operator. It is designed to have sufficient strength. In conclusion, all the problems mentioned above require an innovation in the relevant technical field. This has made it necessary to do so. 20 A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and the related technical It is related to a protective plug, designed to bring new advantages to the area. 25 One aim of the invention is to improve the internal workings of threaded fittings used in brake pipe production lines. a connector that effectively protects the connection port from dirt, particles and other external factors The goal is to create a protective plug. Another purpose of the invention is to improve the feed tables and inclined conveyors of twisting machines. earless and fully circular outer geometry that does not cause entanglement on the channels The goal is to create a protective plug. 3 Another aim of the invention is to avoid mechanical interference with support devices. a protective cover that allows the pipe length referencing process to be performed correctly The goal is to reveal the problem. All the objectives mentioned above and those that will emerge from the detailed explanation below are 5 The present invention, designed to achieve this, involves a gear located at the end of a brake pipe. It is a protective plug used to temporarily close the internal connection opening of the fitting.

A feature of a possible design of the invention is that on the inward-facing side of the plug body, 15 The inner part is designed to lighten the protective plug and increase its elasticity. It must contain at least one recess in its hollow structure. This allows the plug body to flex. By increasing its capability, the stresses generated during a tight fit into the fitting are dampened. and the plug has a controlled elasticity during both assembly and disassembly. It is made to exhibit deformation. 20 Another possible configuration of the invention features an external circular projection on the It includes at least two bridges positioned opposite each other. Thus, tension by distributing the force evenly between the bridges, the plug passes through the fitting. It becomes possible to remove it stably in the axial direction and the 25 of the pull ring It is ensured that it performs its function without deformation. Another possible configuration of the invention features two rings in the pull ring. It consists of half of these parts. Thus, the pull ring is controlled during the pulling process. By opening it in this way, the operator's grip ergonomics are improved and the ring structure of the plug is 30 It is designed to be able to flex without separating from its stem. Another possible configuration of the invention features a monolithic plastic-based structure. It is manufactured from recycled materials. This reduces production costs. 4 Thanks to its continuity, mechanical strength is increased, and thanks to its one-piece form, both Both a snug fit and elastic recovery behavior are reliably achieved.

Thanks to its outer circular and earless form, the protective plug (1) bends Machine feed line and support device jamming or length reference error 20 They work together without creating a separate structure. When the processes are complete, the operator pulls the ring. (14) holding the opposite ring halves (141) and pulling the protective plug (1) from the fitting It removes it, and the brake line is clean and ready for connection. With this invention, protective plugs (1) used in brake pipe (21) production lines 25 thanks to the jams experienced in the feed tables and inclined conveyor lines by eliminating the need for support devices, the production flow is made uninterrupted. Since contact is prevented, the pipe length is ensured to be correctly referenced to the machine. and post-bend routing deviations are reduced. Earless, circular form. While the design is highly compatible with automatic lines, thanks to the pull ring (14) 30 allows the operator to remove the plug easily and quickly. This also provides additional benefits in terms of ergonomics and occupational safety. 7 The scope of protection of the invention is set out in the attached claims and is strictly adhered to.
