Abstract
A fluid seal having two fluidly connected connecting ends including a ferrule-type connector and a female nut connector configured to be fixed on an end of a conduit, the female nut connector being rotatably mounted on the tubular connector section of the fluid seal, Section has a distal end that includes an internally tapered sealing section that includes an annular portion having a convex surface configured to be in contact with the cooperating end of the male connector inserted into the nut connector.
Description
The present invention relates generally to the attachment of a ferrule type female nut-stem attachment catheter for use with an enhanced flexible hose and adapter. In particular, the present invention is applicable to high-pressure pipe and hose applications and high-pressure adapters, and it will be convenient to disclose the present invention in the context of such exemplary applications. It should be understood, however, that the present invention is not limited to that application and can be used with many other similar fluid seal configurations.
The following description of the background of the present invention is intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention. It should be understood, however, that the description does not acknowledge or acknowledge that any material discussed has been disclosed, publicly disclosed, or was part of the general knowledge common to the priority date of the present application.
The high pressure pipe and hose operation and the high pressure adapter require seams or couplings that can be secured to the ends of the conduits (e.g., hoses or pipes) and provide a secure, fluid tight connection with the other seams. One such attachable conduit joint includes a ferrule-type connector for connection to the end of the conduit at one end and a female nut configured to receive a threaded male connector of the adapter at the other end.
The ferrule-type conduit joint typically has a male-stem portion insertable into the hose end and a ferrule-type sleeve concentric with the male-stem. In addition, the male and female and ferrule sleeves define an annular cavity for receiving the hose end. By pinching the hose end in the annular cavity between the ferrule sleeve and the stem, such as by radially reducing some of the parts or elements of the ferrule sleeve or radially increasing the size of the male-stem, Is held on the hose.
The female nut connector includes a rotatable sleeve having an inner thread configured to cooperate with an outer thread of a cooperating male connector. The female nut is rotatably mounted on a nut stem fluidly connected to the ferrule-type connector. The nut stem includes a sealing end that contacts the end of the adapter (which is received within the rotatable sleeve) and forms a fluid seal. The sealing end is typically planar with an end that is radially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the joint or may include a linear or planar inner tapered surface between the outer diameter of the nut stem and the inner diameter of the nut stem.
Figures 4 and 5 show details of the inner sealing end of the prior art ferrule-type connector and nut stem (Figure 5). As shown in Figure 5, a seal is created when the tapered end of the adapter received in the nut contacts the tapered sealing surface of the nut stem. In this configuration, the contact surface between the adapter and the tapered sealing surface of the sealing end of the nut stem is a small annular area. The fluid tight seal requires a tight, aligned fit between the threaded cooperating part of the female nut and the adapter, thereby ensuring such adequate surface contact. Nonetheless, fluid pressure, rough handling or handling, and / or damage to this area may alter this alignment and may alter the integrity of such seals.
Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a ferrule-type conduit joint having an alternate or improved seal between the female nut and the male connector of the adapter within the female nut.
The present invention provides seams and associated systems and methods that include two fluid connection connectors including a female nut connector and a single integrated ferrule.
A first aspect of the present invention provides a fluid seal having two fluidically connected connecting ends comprising a ferrule-type connector configured to be fixed on an end of a conduit and a female nut connector, the female nut connector having a fluid- Wherein the connector section has a distal end comprising an internally tapered sealing section including an annular portion having a convex surface adapted to be in contact with the cooperating end of the male connector inserted in the nut connector .
The fluid seals of the present invention include a convex sealing surface configured to be in contact with the cooperating end of the male connector inserted into the nut connector. The cooperating end of the male connector typically includes a cooperating annular surface contacting a surface of the sealing section tapered into the interior of the tubular connector section to create a seal therebetween. The convex sealing surface provides a curved engagement surface that better accommodates changes, alignment problems, and / or movement between the contact surfaces. Indeed, the sealing surface provides a better fit and seal between the male connector and the contact surface of the connector stem. Thus, the fluid seals of the present invention can be used for higher fluid pressure applications compared to conventional fluid seals having connector sections with planar tapered sealing surfaces (as shown, for example, in FIGS. 4 and 5) .
It is to be understood that the internally tapered sealing section is intended to mean that the taper of the sealing section extends from the outer edge of the distal end to the seam, i. E. Towards the opposite end of the seam comprising the ferrule-type connector.
The fluid seal's female nut connector is configured to receive and seal a complementary threaded male connector. The cooperating seal is the result of the contact bond between the sealing section tapered into the tubular connector section of the fluid seal and the surface of the male connector, typically the tapered end surface. As described above, the convex shape of the sealing section tapered into the interior of the tubular connector section provides a sealing property favorable to the fluid seals of the present invention.
In some embodiments, the tapered sealing section includes an inner surface of the tubular connector section between the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the tubular connector section. Thus, the taper of the sealing section is inclined inwardly from the outer diameter to the inner diameter in the axial direction toward the ferrule-shaped connector.
Within the tapered sealing section, the convex surface may comprise, for example, a portion of the surface which is a central annular portion of the surface. That portion may be as small as 10 to 40% or may extend to a larger portion, for example 50% to 95% of the surface. In some embodiments, the convex surface extends substantially throughout the inwardly tapered sealing section. Thus, the surface of the tapered sealing section forms a convex shape.
The dimensions and curvature of the convex taper may be any suitable dimension. The convex taper may have any suitable curve or arc to provide a convex shape. Examples of suitable arcs include circular or curved segments or sectors, such as circles, ellipses, parabolic segments, arcs, and the like. In some embodiments, the convex taper includes a circle segment or sector having a radius between 0.5 and 2 times the inner radius of the tubular connector section. In some embodiments, the convex taper has a radius between 0.5 and 1.5 times the inner radius of the tubular connector section.
The nut connector preferably includes a standard nut connector. Thus, in some embodiments, the nut connector is a hexagonal nut. However, it should be understood that other types of nut connectors may be used, such as, for example, a circular nut. In some embodiments, the outer surface of the nut connector is colored. Any color such as red, orange, green, purple, blue, red, violet, white or the like is possible, but the outer surface of the nut connector is preferably colored black. In particular, the color used on the nuts in black provides a distinct contrast to the tubular connector section and the ferrule-type connector section of the fluid seam, which is typically metallic silver, with the original material color of the manufacture. Such a contrasting color combination allows the seam to be readily identifiable to the consumer and can provide an indication of the origin of the fluid seam, particularly the transaction origin, that is identifiable to the application.
The tubular connector section may have any suitable configuration. In some embodiments, the tubular connector section includes a stem having a nut mounted thereon. The nut may be mounted on the tubular connector section using a variety of mounting configurations. In some embodiments, the connector section includes an annular projection or flange to retain the nut connector thereon. In some embodiments, the connector section includes an annular groove or channel that receives an annular flange of the nut connector to retain the nut connector thereon.
It is to be understood that the male connector is preferably an integral part of the adapter, preferably an adapter, more preferably a high-pressure adapter. The adapter has a male connector that is receivable within the nut connector at one end and another connector arrangement (male, female, snap fit, etc.) on the other end. The adapter may have any suitable configuration selected for a particular application. Examples of suitable adapters include, but are not limited to, straight, compact and swept 45 ° and 90 °, sockets, bulkheads, caps, plugs, reduced bushes, tees, weld- .
The ferrule-type connector is configured to be fixed, for example, on the end of a conduit, such as a pipe or hose, preferably a reinforced flexible hose. The ferrule-type connector preferably includes a ferrule-shaped sleeve extending around the ferrule stem to cooperatively catch the end of the duct within the ferrule-shaped connector. The ferrule sleeve is configured to receive a conduit therein, and the ferrule stem (male-to-stem) is configured to be inserted within the conduit. In addition, the ferrule stem and the ferrule sleeve define an annular cavity for receiving the hose end.
By pinching the end of the conduit in the annular cavity between the ferrule sleeve and the stem, such as by radially reducing some parts or elements of the ferrule sleeve or by radially increasing the size of the ferrule stem, And is retained on the conduit. In some embodiments, the ferrule sleeve is configured to be defined around the end of the conduit. In some embodiments, the ferrule stem is configured to extend the diameter of the end of the conduit into which the stem is inserted. Of course, a combination of the sleeve limitation described above and the ferrule stem extension described above can also be used.
It should be understood that the ferrule-type connector may have any number of suitable configurations. Some ferrule-type connectors are reusable and use mechanical means of seam, such as a threaded member to activate the means for pinning the hose against the stem, as described, for example, in European Patent EP0241651. For example, a ferrule-type connector may include a ferrule, more specifically a ferrule-type ferrule of radius-size of the ferrule sleeve that is reduced through crushing by, for example, a crimping process or other means . In another embodiment, the ferrule-type connector includes a toothed stem with ferrule locking collar. In some embodiments, the ferrule sleeve may be pre-attached to the stem and then attached to the ferrule locking collar. In an exemplary embodiment, the ferrule sleeve is integrally connected to the ferrule stem. The ferrule may be configured to catch the conduit end without insertion or insertion.
The ferrule-type connector can be attached to the connector stem using a variety of different connections. In some embodiments, the ferrule-type connector is integrally connected, and preferably integrally formed, with the tubular connection section. The fluid seal preferably includes an internal bore extending between the ferrule-type connector and the distal end of the connector section. Advantageously, the internal bore is continuous when the ferrule-type connector and tubular connection section are integrally connected. Therefore, no fluid may leak when flowing through the inner bore.
Fluid seals typically include an intermediate portion between a ferrule-type connector and a nut connector for fluidly connecting such a connector end of a fluid seal. The intermediate portion may have any suitable configuration. In some embodiments, the middle portion is a linear or linear configuration. In another embodiment, the middle portion is angled, for example, at right angles, 45 degrees, 30 degrees, and the like. In yet another embodiment, the intermediate portion comprises at least one curved section.
The conduit joints of the present invention may be made from any suitable material, including, but not limited to, polymers, metals, alloys thereof, and the like. Examples include plastic, stainless steel, steel, iron, copper, brass, and the like.
