Abstract

A fitting tube of a glue gun includes: a conical connector(10; fig. 5) and a fitting assembly 40. The conical connector includes a heater chamber (30; fig. 5); a feeding segment (11; fig. 5 – e.g. for extruding melted glue bar); and an open segment (12; fig. 5) for connecting to fitting assembly. The fitting assembly 40 includes a first fixing tube 41, an O ring 42, a second fixing tube 43, a stop sleeve 44, a locating ring 45, and a coupling tube 46. The first tube has a stepped portion 411. The O ring is retained between the stepped portion 411 and second tube 43. The stop sleeve 44 is fitted on the first tube 41 and has a large-diameter extension 441 and a small-diameter extension 442, the large-diameter extension covering the first tube and fitted using the locating ring 45. The coupling tube 46 is fixed on the small-diameter extension 442. The second tube 43 is made of aluminium or aluminum alloy to have a higher heat resistance than the first fixing tube 41 (e.g. made of hard plastic) to avoid deformation due to thermal expansion, and hence prevent glue leakage.

In use, a glue supply bar P is inserted into the fitting assembly 40A from the open segment 12, and the heater 30 melts the glue bar into adhesive glue, then the adhesive glue is extruded out of the feeding segment 11.
However, after the heater 30 heats the glue bar in a temperature of 200 °C, the fitting assembly 40A is soften to cause a leakage of the adhesive glue. In addition, the fitting assembly 40A deforms or ruptures in the temperature of 200 °C.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an improved fitting assembly 25 40B is provided and contains a first connection sleeve 40B1 and a second connection sleeve 40 B2 which are stacked and fixed on the open segment 12. However, a gap ID produces between the first connection sleeve 40Ba and the second connection sleeve 40B2. In use of the improved fitting assembly 40B, the heater 30 heats the first connection sleeve 40B1 so that the first connection sleeve 40B1 expands, and the first connection sleeve 40131 retracts after cooling down, thus enlarging the gap between the first connection sleeve 40B1 and the second connection sleeve 40B2 and leaking the adhesive glue out of the gap.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary aspect of the present invention is to provide a fitting tube structure of a glue gun which contains the first fixing tube, the second fixing tube, and the stop sleeve fitted together and fixed by the locating ring and the coupling tube so as to avoid a deformation of the first fixing tube because of thermal expansion and contraction, thus enhancing a service life of the first fixing tube.
To obtain above-mentioned aspects, a fitting tube structure of a glue gun provided by the present invention contains: a conical connection part, an accommodation chamber formed in a bottom of the conical connection part and configured to accommodate a heater, a feeding segment formed on a front end of the conical connection part, and an open segment defined on a rear end of the conical connection part and configured to connect with a fitting assembly.
The fitting assembly includes a first fixing tube, an 0 ring, a second fixing tube made of aluminum or aluminum alloy, a stop sleeve, a locating ring, and a coupling tube.
A first end of the first fixing tube is connected with the open segment of the conical connection part, and a second end of the first fixing tube is coupled with the second fixing tube, wherein the first fixing tube has a stepped portion formed on a center thereof.
The 0 ring is retained between the stepped portion of the second fixing tube and the second fixing tube.
The stop sleeve is fitted on an outer wall of the first fixing tube and has a large-diameter extension and a small-diameter extension, and the large-diameter extension covers the first fixing tube and is fitted on an outer wall of the large-diameter extension by using the locating ring.
The coupling tube is fixed on an outer wall of the small-diameter extension The first fixing tube, the second fixing tube, and the stop sleeve are fitted and are fixed by the locating ring and the coupling tube.
Preferably, the resilient retainer is mounted between the first fixing tube and the open segment.
Preferably, the small-diameter extension of the stop sleeve has multiple defining ribs formed thereon so as to increase a contact area of the stop sleeve and the coupling tube.
Preferably, the first fixing tube and the coupling tube are made of hard plastic.
