It should be understood that the structural form of the second partition 327 is not limited to that shown in fig. 5, and may be provided as an annular shoulder or the like as shown in the first partition 313, as long as the above-described technical effects can be achieved; even if the second partition 327 is not present, the second connector 320 is not practically unusable, in other words, the second partition 327 is mainly provided for improving the convenience of installation, and the second partition 327 is not required only from the viewpoint of being usable or not.

The locking head 330 includes a cylindrical portion 331 and an end plate portion 332. The cylindrical portion 331 and the first joint 310 are screwed together, and the end plate portion 332 can directly or indirectly abut against the second joint 320. When the locking head 330 is in the tightened state, the second connector 320 is sealingly connected with the first connector 310, so that the tightness between the first connector 310 and the second connector 320 can be ensured.

In the above-mentioned scheme, in the embodiment of the utility model, only the first connector 310 is connected with the first component 100, the second connector 320 is connected with the second component 200, and then the second connector 320 is inserted into the second channel section 312 of the first connector 310 and screwed up by the locking head 330 and the first connector 310, so that the connection between the first component 100 and the second component 200 can be realized, the structure of the connector assembly 300 is relatively simple, the installation and the disassembly are relatively convenient, the labor intensity in the disassembly process is lower, and the cost is lower.

In some alternative implementations, an abutment 314 may be provided within the second channel segment 312, and in the tightened state, a hard sealing fit may be formed between the axial end of the second joint 320 and the abutment 314 in the form of an abutment. The sealing fit mode only needs to ensure that the second connector 320 and the first connector 310 can abut against each other, and the structure is relatively simple.

In one example, one of the abutment 314 and the axial end of the second joint 320 may have a tapered surface 323, the other may have an annular rib 314a, and the annular rib 314a and the tapered surface 323 may form a hard sealing fit in the form of a line contact in such a manner that the contact area of the abutment 314 and the axial end is relatively small, the sealing is relatively easy to ensure, reliability may be higher, and the risk of leakage is relatively low. This example is specifically shown in fig. 1, 3, and 5, in which the abutment 314 and the annular rib 314a may be formed in the first joint 310, and the tapered surface 323 may be formed in the second joint 320, although the positions of the abutment 314 and the tapered surface 323 are reversed.

The number of the annular ribs 314a may be one or plural, and when the number is plural, a plurality of line seals may be formed between each annular rib 314a and the tapered surface 323, so that the reliability of the seal is further improved. In addition, in fig. 1 and 3, the annular edge 314a is a boundary edge of two different surfaces, in addition to the above, the annular edge 314a may be one of arc surfaces formed by chamfering at the boundary of two different surfaces, and in any case, the annular edge 314a may form a line contact with the conical surface 323 to achieve sealing.

In other examples, the abutment 314 and the second joint 320 may be in a surface-contact manner to form a hard seal, for example, the second abutment 314 and the second joint 320 may each be provided with the tapered surface 323 described above, as is also possible.

In some alternative implementations, at least one of the outer peripheral wall of the second joint 320 and the inner peripheral wall of the second channel segment 312 may be provided with a seal groove 325a, and a sealing element 326 may be provided within the seal groove 325 a. The sealing element 326 may be a deformable body made of flexible material such as rubber, and may be compressed during the process of inserting the second connector 320 into the second channel section 312 of the first connector 310, so as to form a soft sealing fit between the second connector 320 and the first connector 310; in this way, the sealing performance between the second connector 320 and the first connector 310 can be improved, so that a better leakage-proof technical effect can be achieved.

Specifically, referring to fig. 5, a seal groove 325a may be provided at the second joint 320. The number of seal grooves 325a may be one or a plurality of seal grooves; when the number of seal grooves 325a is plural, the number of seal elements 326 may be plural, and each seal element 326 may be disposed in each seal groove 325a in a one-to-one correspondence to form multiple seals between the first joint 310 and the second joint 320, and the reliability of the seal may be higher.

In practical applications, the above-mentioned hard seal fit and soft seal fit may be alternatively arranged so as to simplify the structure. Of course, the above-mentioned hard seal fit and soft seal fit may be provided, so that the seal forms may be more diversified, which is more advantageous for ensuring the tightness between the first connector 310 and the second connector 320.

In some alternative implementations, the second joint 320 may further include a thick neck portion 324 and a thin neck portion 325, and at least a portion of the third channel section 321 may be located at the thick neck portion 324.

As previously mentioned, the third channel section 321 is adapted to be connected to the second component 200, for example by welding, in which case the structural strength requirements for the second joint 320 are high. Therefore, the embodiment of the present utility model selects at least a portion of the wall portion for forming the third channel section 321 to be provided as the thick neck portion 324 for enhancing the structural strength of the second joint 320, so that the welding deformation of the second joint 320 is not easily caused when the second joint 320 and the second member 200 are welded, which has positive significance in ensuring the welding quality, the welding reliability between the second joint 320 and the second member 200, and the like.

Correspondingly, the second channel section 312 for inserting the second connector 320 may also be designed with a variable diameter, and a portion of the second channel section 312 corresponding to the thick neck 324 may be provided with a diameter-expanding portion 321a to accommodate the insertion of the thick neck 324.

In some alternative implementations, the joint assembly 300 may further include a spacer 340, where the spacer 340 may be located between the end plate 332 and the second joint 320, and where the end plate 332 may specifically indirectly abut the second joint 320 via the spacer 340. The spacer 340 may play a role in buffering, which may reduce the driving force generated by the end plate 332 on the second connector 320, and may avoid the second connector 320 from rotating under the driving of the locking head 330 to a greater extent, so as to reduce wear between the second connector 320 and the first connector 310, which has positive significance for ensuring the integrity and the service life of the hard seal mating structure and the soft seal mating structure between the second connector 320 and the first connector 310.

Referring to fig. 7, the inner hole of the cylindrical portion 331 includes a thread section 331a and a groove section 331b, the groove section 331b is located at a side of the thread section 331a near the end plate portion 332, and the thickness of the spacer 340 may be less than or equal to the axial dimension of the groove section 331 b. In this way, the space of the threaded section 331a in the cylindrical portion 331 is not occupied by the arrangement of the spacer 340, so that the threaded section 331a in the cylindrical portion 331 can be used for threaded connection with the first joint 310, and the utilization rate of the threaded section 331a can be effectively improved; in addition, the groove section 331b can also be used as a tool retracting groove for facilitating the processing and preparation of the thread section 331 a.

The thread segments 331a may be female threads, and accordingly, the first connector 310 may be provided with male threads, and the cylindrical portion 331 may be located radially outside the first connector 310.

For convenience of connection, the outer wall surfaces of the first connector 310 and the locking head 330 may be provided with an operation portion, and referring to fig. 2 and 6, the first connector 310 may be provided with a first operation portion 315, the locking head 330 may be provided with a second operation portion 333, and cross sections perpendicular to the axial direction of the first operation portion 315 and the second operation portion 333 may be non-circular, for example, hexagonal, etc., so that the first connector 310 and the locking head 330 are operated through the first operation portion 315 and the second operation portion 333. In specific practice, the operator may clamp the first operation part 315 with an operation tool in the form of a wrench or the like, so that the first joint 310 may be fixed, and then the locking head 330 may be rotated by the second operation part 333 with an operation tool in the form of a wrench or the like to tighten or loosen the locking head 330.

In the description of each of the above embodiments, the cylindrical portion 331 is taken as an example to be located outside the first joint 310. In fact, it is also possible to provide the external thread on the cylindrical portion 331 and then provide the internal thread on the second passage section 312 of the first joint 310, and in this case, the cylindrical portion 331 may be located inside the first joint 310, so that the locking head 330 generates an abutment force on the second joint 320 through the cylindrical portion 331, the locking head 330 may not include the end plate 332, and the structural form of the locking head 330 may be simplified.

The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and it should be noted that modifications and adaptations to those skilled in the art may be made without departing from the principles of the present utility model, which are intended to be comprehended within the scope of the present utility model.
