Description of the Invention (/) The present invention relates to a plug device for a conduit, and in particular a conduit for a fluid in a motor vehicle. A fluid conduit system connecting the various components of the system to each other is particularly provided for connection to an air-conditioning system in a motor vehicle, but may also be provided to other systems. This fluid conduit must always be leak-proof, especially when applied to its connector. On the other hand, during assembly, it should be possible to make the fluid connection between the conduit and the system components connected to it in the simplest possible way. Several requirements are added here: the units connected to them must be installed in the engine room of a motor vehicle, such as the air-conditioning system and its components in this example, and the access paths to the respective connection points are large. Is restricted. Generally, screwdrivers and similar tools have little access to these connection points. Other special tools for making fluid connections are also almost unusable. This makes it possible to make the connection process reliable in the simplest way, and if it is possible, no special tools are required. Furthermore, the connection technique must result in a reliable process without regard to the individual training of the assembler. This means that the possibility of incorrect assembly should be largely ruled out. In addition to the simple assembly required and the tightness of the connection over an extended period of time, the connection system should be as cost effective as possible, even under adverse environmental conditions such as temperature fluctuations, humidity and vibration effects. This is even more so, as connection points exist in a large number in fluid guidance systems. One connection system for fluid conduits is known from U.S. Patent No. 5,727,304, which largely meets the needs described. This system is used to connect one end of a fluid guide line to a suitable unit. For this purpose, individual pipelines have 3 circular grooves on a free end.

A snap ring system extends behind the annular shoulder of the bolt to form a snap element. The snap ring system is an opening in the holding jig provided in an annular structure groove, and the annular structure groove has a radial opening facing inward. If it is intended to connect a pipeline to a unit by this connection technology, the end of the pipeline provided with an O-ring is inserted into the opening, and the opening of the holding fixture is simultaneously pressed against the tapered head of the holding bolt until The snap ring system extends beyond the annular shoulder and in this way locks the holding fixture to the bolt. As a result of this known catheter connection device, the object of the present invention is to burst it further so that the insertion force or actuation force required for making the connection can be reduced. This object is achieved by a catheter insertion device according to item 1 of the scope of patent application. When it is put together, the two connecting elements that can connect the two pipes to each other are part of the catheter insertion device. To maintain this connection for a long time, a fixed configuration is provided, which is designed as a locked configuration. A tension spring element implemented as a closed loop is used as a snap element. When the latter (tensile spring element) is transferred to the snap-in position, it is first guided to a snap-in protrusion, wherein it is stretched in the peripheral direction during the process. The snap-in protrusion is preferably designed to be rotationally symmetric. When the tension spring is placed in the buckling protrusion 4 This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 public love) ~ --- I ---- ^ --------- ( (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) 499554 A7 _____ B7 _ 5. Description of the invention ($), it also becomes a rotationally symmetric shape. It only stretches when it is snapped into the protrusion, so that equal, inwardly directed radial forces occur over its entire periphery. The result of this average force distribution is that the snap element can be moved relatively easily to the snap-in projection. Therefore, the snap-in force for generating the snap connection is small. Therefore, the connection can be made manually without having to deal with the extraordinarily large forces required for this. Therefore, where it is difficult to reach and the assembler can only apply a small manual force, the use of this catheter insertion device is also required. Furthermore, the risk of incorrect assembly is low. What experience has shown is that when it is made with small forces, the risk of incorrect assembly due to improper force is minimized. The pipe connector device according to the present invention is applicable to an air conditioning system of a motor vehicle, such as a condenser connection, an evaporator connection, a connection to a compressor, or a connection to a thermal expansion valve. In each of these examples, it is necessary to provide a connection between a device component and a conduit, that is, one of the connection components is configured or implemented on an individual device component. Furthermore, the catheter insertion device can also be used for connecting two catheters. Furthermore, for example, the 'catheter channel can be generated at the firewall of the motor vehicle by the catheter insertion device. Other fluid conduits, such as low-pressure hydraulic lines (return lines), fuel lines, oil lines, or water flow lines, can also be connected by a conduit plug-in device according to the present invention. Preferably, the catheter insertion device according to the present invention has an opening in one of its holding elements, wherein the tension spring element is maintained in a manner that can be moved radially but not substantially axially. For example, the opening is a passageway, and a suitable fixing bolt (second connection element) is extended through 5 paper standards to apply Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (21G X 297 public love). --- I--I --- I 1 IIIII ^ ------- II (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) 499554 A7 ___B7 ___ 5. Description of the invention (! / ≫) This aisle. To be arranged in a manner that can be moved radially but not substantially axially, the tension spring element is enclosed in a suitable pocket, for example, it can be provided by the opening wall of the holding element. An annular groove is formed. The diameters of the tension spring element and the annular groove are matched with each other 'so that the tension spring element has a radial play to be disposed in the annular groove without falling out of the opening. The second holding element is substantially composed of an elongated element having a snap-in shape, and the second holding element preferably has a ring-shaped snap-in bolt that snaps into the shoulder. The snap bolt may be implemented as a one-piece with a (second) connecting element associated therewith. However, it is preferably screwed together with the latter (second connecting element). To release the plug for the catheter, the bolts can be removed by the respective connecting elements 'for example' by this means it becomes possible, for example, for the disconnection of a catheter connector for maintenance purposes. In the snap-in position, the tension spring element is preferably held between two (eg, annular) contact surfaces. 'One contact surface is part of the first holding element, and the other contact surface is one of the second holding element. In part, the two contact surfaces constitute an acute angle with the opening facing outward, especially where it is in contact with the tension spring element. The contact surfaces are positioned such that they hold the tension spring element in its extended state. The tendency of the tension spring elements to contract is converted from the angular position of the contact surfaces with respect to each other into an axial tension, which pushes the connection element together in the snap-in position. Acute angles between 1 and 15 degrees (preferably 5 degrees) have been shown to be particularly useful for tilting such contact surfaces in the radial direction between 20 and 25 degrees. When using these angles, it can be easily made but cannot be made by the axial direction acting on the connecting elements. 6 The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) ^ ------ -^ -------- (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 499554 A7 ___B7_____ V. Description of the invention (f) The establishment of a particularly reliable snap-in connection system released by the force. In this way, the tension spring elements act between these contact surfaces whose wedges are oriented towards each other and establish the pressure of the connecting elements on each other. The tension spring element is preferably a torus designed with a circular cross section. In this example, it is preferably made of a flexible material, and the flexibility (elasticity) of the flexible material is allowed to roll on its central axis. In this way, the tension spring element can be rolled to the snap-in projection assigned to it, which reduces the insertion force (that is, the force required to make the plug) to an extremely low 値. The frictional forces which would otherwise be noted here are prevented. Furthermore, a clearly defined deduction point is established, which is noticed by the assembler so that it will prevent erroneous assembly caused by, for example, the complete deduction of the lack of other deduction elements. The use of an annular closed coil spring as a tension spring element has been shown to be particularly useful. The helical spring is preferably made of spring steel and slides or rolls on individual snap-in projections with a small actuating force. The extension force can be set as required by a properly selected spring coefficient and helical spring element circuit thickness. It has nothing to do with the fact that the toroidal coil spring is extremely hard with respect to its axial direction (ie the direction of actuation of the connecting element), which is conducive to the reliability of the snap-in connection. When it comes to the direction of extension (peripheral direction), the individual windings of the closed spiral tension spring itself are arranged in a row, which means that they are arranged in parallel with respect to the axial direction. Because of this, it is possible to make the ratio 介于 between the hardness in the axial direction and the hardness (or extensibility) in the peripheral direction extremely large, which is conducive to the reliability of the snap-in connection. 7 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) I -------- 1 -------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 499554 A7 ^ ___ B7 _ 5.

Description of the invention (1) Fluid reservoir 5 and evaporator 6. These components They are connected to each other by lines 7, 8, 9, 10, where the lines 7, 8, 9, 10 define fluid ducts. The evaporator 6 is generally arranged inside the motor vehicle and the remaining components are arranged in Engine room. The interior and engine room are connected to each other by a firewall 11 Separately, lines 7 and 10 are guided through the firewall 11. Lines 7 and 10 are thus divided into line segments 7a, 7b, 10a, and 10b. A passage element 12 is arranged on the firewall 11 'The passage element 12 is connected to the parts 7a, 10a of the individual lines 7, 10 on the side of the engine room and to the parts 7b, 10b of the lines 7, 10 to the passenger Room side. The conduit connection device 1 shown in the second figure can be used for connecting the wires 7, 8, 9, 10 to the system components 3, 4, 5, 6 and to the connecting element 12. A first connection element 14 (female connection element) is a part of the catheter connection device 1, and the first connection element 14 is provided with a connection opening 15. It constitutes a fluid conduit 15a for a line to be connected, such as line 8, which contains a fluid conduit 8a. The line 8 is connected to a second connection element 16 (male connection element), which is to be inserted into the connection opening 15 like the same tubular extension. As can be seen particularly in the fifth figure, the connecting element 16 has a first cylindrical section 17 whose outer diameter approximately matches the inner diameter of the connecting opening 15 and is assembled to the connecting opening 15 with a slight margin of movement. The outer diameter of the connecting element 16 is reduced at its free end, and one or two claw ribs 18 are provided at its outer periphery. The claw ribs 18 are used to seal an end ring 19 so that it cannot fall out and it constitutes a connector of the connecting element 16, such as a plastic ring having a tapered insertion ramp 20. Along with the torus at the front end of the cylindrical section 17, the plastic ring 19 defines an annular groove 21 (the second and the 11 paper sizes are applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) IIIIIIIII1--IIIIII 1 · ΙΙΙΙ — — — »(Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) 499554 A7 B7 V.

The O-ring 23 or other sealing element is used for the external sealing of the line conduit 24. The line conduit 24 is bordered by two connection elements 14, 16 and is constituted by the fluid conduits 8a, 15a. The connection elements 14, 16 Departments are connected to each other. A part of a holding arrangement 25 is a first holding element 27 and a second holding element 26. The holding arrangement 25 is provided to keep the connection elements 14, 16 in a connected state, that is, the connection element 16 is inserted into the connection opening 15. As can be particularly seen in the third figure, the second holding member 26 can be implemented as one of the individual connecting members 16. The line 8 to be connected has been omitted from the third figure. The connecting element 16 and / or the holding element 26 may be connected by any suitable means, for example, by gluing, welding, crimping or the like. If a flexible circuit is desired, as indicated in the second figure, it is possible to provide a tubular extension which extends away from the retaining element 26 and is used as a seat for a flexible circuit mechanism. The holding element 26 is connected to the connection element 16 in a fixed or releasable manner, and has a substantially flat bottom side 28 in an assembled (placed together) state, whereby the bottom side 28 is placed against the connection One of the elements 14 corresponds to a flat surface 29 or (if required) is placed on a holding element 27. In this example, the connecting element 14 may be a separate connecting element, or a part of a member to be connected. For example, the connection element 14 may be provided in the condenser 4, the evaporator 6, the compressor 3, or the connection element 12, and the fluid reservoir 5 having a filter dryer. The connecting element 26 has an opening.

Description of the invention (丨 /) Road 31 ( See in particular Figure 5), which can be implemented essentially as a cylindrical hole. The inner wall of the opening 31 is provided with an annular groove 32, the opening of which is radially inward and can be seen particularly in the fourth figure. The annular groove 32 has an approximately trapezoidal cross section and accommodates an annular tension spring element. In this exemplary embodiment, a tension spring 33 is connected, and two ends 33a, 33b are connected to each other so as to form a closed circle. The ends 33a, 33b can be inserted into each other. If necessary, they can be connected to each other by a laser welding point. Furthermore, they can be connected to each other by an elastic body, and the elastic system is at least in the region of the ends 33a, 33b or fully infills the interior. The tension springs 33 shown separately in the tenth figure are wound and dimensioned so that their coils 35 are arranged with pre-stress to each other. This is a pre-stressed spring element whose characteristic curve can be adapted and changed as required. In the relaxed state, the tension spring system therefore has an inner diameter slightly larger than the opening 1 31. Therefore, even if the holding member 27 does not extend through the opening 31, the tension spring is held inside the annular groove 32 without the possibility of being lost and cannot fall out of the opening 31. On the other hand, the tension spring 33 has a length so as to protrude to the opening 31 with a length slightly larger than half of its coil diameter in the free-running state. In this way, it can constitute a claw member for the holding member 27, the design of which will be discussed separately. The annular groove 32 constitutes a pocket portion for accommodating the tension spring 31, and the side 34 facing the flat surface 28 constitutes a conical annular surface, that is, one located on the outer shell of the conical portion. It constitutes an angle of preferably 70 degrees from the axial direction A shown in the fourth figure, that is, it is arranged at Guan 13 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) ( Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)-III 1 I-^ · I ------- 499554 A7 ____B7 _ V.

However, the annular side surface 35 located relative to the annular groove 32 may be implemented as a flat surface, and the inclination of this surface is secondary. The groove bottom surface 36 (that is, the outer diameter of the annular groove 32) is configured or dimensioned so that the tension spring element 33 can be fully pressed to the annular groove 32 if necessary, that is, it disappears on the wall surface of the opening 31 when it is properly extended. Rear. The connecting element 27 is implemented as a snap bolt which projects upwards from the flat surface 29. If necessary, the snap bolt 27 can be connected to the connecting element 14 in one piece. However, it is preferable and in this exemplary embodiment, it is a releasable connection with the connecting element 14. A threaded hole 41 is used for this purpose, and the threaded hole 41 is arranged parallel to and separated by the connection opening 15. The positioning here is such that when the connecting element 16 is pushed to the connecting opening 15, the bolt 27 can enter the opening 31 without tripping. The connecting element 27 has an extension 42 provided with a thread which follows, for example, a section 43 which is cylindrical. When the bolt 27 used as the connecting element is screwed into the threaded hole 41, the annular front end surface 44 adjacent to the thread extension 42 is fixed on the flat surface 29. In this way, the front end surface 44 fixes a position of the snap-in shoulder 45, and the snap-in shoulder 45 is adjacent to the cylindrical section 43 and is preferably implemented as a tapered surface having a large opening angle. It is preferably formed at an angle of about 25 degrees in the radial direction. Its maximum diameter is only slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the hole 31. The narrowest diameter is measured at the transition to the cylindrical section 43. The outer diameter of the cylindrical section 43 is smaller than the internal diameter of the fully relaxed tension spring 33. This is also applied symbolically, even if the section 43 is not shaped into a cylindrical shape, such as a cymbal (corner column).

In this way , Even if it is strong and produces considerable radial The tension spring 33 with inward force (that is, the person who is difficult to extend) rolls with small resistance on the insertion cone 46. The axial actuating force required for this action is small, so that it lies between the inclined surface 35 and the tension spring The sliding friction force between 33 is kept low. Shortly before the connecting element 16 has been fully pushed against the connecting opening 15, that is, shortly before the flat surface 28 of the holding element 26 reaches the flat surface 29 and becomes parked thereon, The spring 33 has reached the snap-in shoulder 45. In other words, and as can be seen particularly in the eleventh figure, the snap-in shoulder 45 has been positioned so as to be between the radially outer end 45 & The distance (distance A1) is greater than the diameter D (tenth figure) of the tension spring 33, and the minimum diameter (inner end 34a) of the side 34 is relatively smaller than the distance that is buckled into the shoulder (distance A2 in the eleventh figure) is less than The diameter D of the tension spring 33. As shown in the eleventh figure, the inclined position of the surfaces 34 and 45 relative to the radial direction allows the tension spring 33 with a circular cross-section to be snapped in, without the surfaces 45 and 34 in the axial direction. Overlapping situation. Once the tension spring 33 has remained in the shoulder 45, it immediately snaps into the space (distance A1) shown in Fig. 11 and contracts there. In this way, it is squeezed into the gap 'between the side 34 and the snap-in shoulder 45, and because of this, it is pulled out of the holding member 26 against the connection member 14 with great force. By doing so, a snap-in connection is created, which cannot be broken by axial pulling. It can only be opened again by removing the bolt 27. Otherwise, you get a durable connection. In particular, a large amount of deduction force is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) in 16 books. ——I -------- Refitting—— (please first Read the notes on the back and fill in this page) Order: 499554 A7 _______B7___ V. Description of the invention (丨 ^) Obtained by small actuation force (insertion force). One of the holding configurations 25 (seating) (without room for axial movement) is achieved by the strong pulling (stretching) effect of the tension spring 33, and the tension spring 33 is squeezed between the inclined surfaces 45, 34 between. The above exemplary embodiment relates to a single conduit fluid connection and its fixation by a single holding device. As can be seen in the sixth and seventh figures, the fluid conduit system, which is especially subjected to high pressure, can also be fixed by two holding arrangements 25, 25a. Both the holding configurations 25, 25a are designed to match and correspond to the holding configuration 25 according to the above-described exemplary embodiment. As shown in the seventh figure, the lines 8 may be arranged with respect to each other in the diametric direction. The holding element 26 is then implemented to correspond to geometry and symmetry with respect to force. Furthermore, it can withstand torsional stress. These forces are kept away from the O-ring 23. In particular, it is not a radial pressure, which is beneficial to its sealing ability. This is applied to all embodiments with two or more holding configurations 25 (Figures 7 and 8). Because the tension spring elements 33 of the individual holding configurations 25, 25a allow a certain radial movement margin, a common holding It is possible to arrange a plurality of elements 26 in the same manner as the holding arrangements 25 and 25a. The coaxial position and orientation between the connecting elements 14, 16 is determined only by the O-ring 23 and not by the holding arrangements 25, 25a. This is also applied to other embodiments. Because the O-ring 23 is not subjected to additional radial stress from the holding arrangement 25 or 25a, it provides the best seal. The O-ring system determines the radial position and creates a coaxial orientation. Therefore, the O-ring is provided with its own built-in position according to the specifications. The holding configuration is adapted to change itself. 17 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 x 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page)-Install a 5J · 499554 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (l t7) Catheter Another embodiment of the plug-in device is illustrated in FIG. For example, it can be used as a channel or connecting element 12 according to the first figure for connecting the lines 7a, 10a and approaching the firewall 11 from both sides, and the end of individual lines is tied on the other side. The structure of this type of catheter insertion device largely corresponds to that according to the sixth figure, in which the connecting element 16 has two wiring connections 7a, 10a. The connection element 14 is provided with two connection openings, which are coaxial with the lines 7 and 10. Although the two holding configurations 25 and 25a are provided for holding the components 26 in the exemplary embodiment according to the seventh figure, the connection system can also be fixed by a single holding configuration 25, as can be seen in the ninth figure Out. The connecting element 12a shown in the ninth figure has a connecting element 14 having a connecting bolt 27 and two connecting openings, which are arranged with respect to each other in the diameter direction and are not shown further. The holding member 26 has connectors for both the wires 7, 10, and the wires 7, 10 are tied in place on the holding member 26. The holding configuration 25 is arranged at the center 'between the two connectors for the lines 7, 10, so as to create a symmetrical force state. The catheter insertion device 1 has a fluid-tight connector and a snap-in device 25 for particularly simple and reliable assembly. When its fixing element is axially connected, it has an extremely easy function and Unreleasable buckle when passing more than one buckle point. A tension spring is used as the snap-in element, and the tension spring is designed as a ring and itself is used as a stopper member. This system ensures, in particular, a low actuation force and minimizes the margin of axial movement. 18 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) • 'ϊργ r
