Description

CONECTOR PARA CONDUCCIÓN DE FLUIDOS  CONNECTOR FOR FLUID CONDUCTION
DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
Campo de la invención Field of the invention
La presente invención se refiere a un conector para conducción de fluidos, líquidos o gases, en sistemas de frenado, refrigeración, lubricación o amortiguación de vehículos en general, y especialmente para sistemas de frenado en motocicletas.  The present invention relates to a connector for conducting fluids, liquids or gases, in braking systems, cooling, lubrication or damping of vehicles in general, and especially for braking systems in motorcycles.
Antecedentes de la invención BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Los conectores para la conducción de fluidos en los sistemas mencionados deben garantizar el correcto suministro del fluido a los distintos componentes del sistema, soportando al mismo tiempo la presión de trabajo y posibles sobrepresiones para evitar cualquier tipo de avería o fuga que pueda afectar al correcto funcionamiento del sistema y/o poner en riesgo la seguridad de los usuarios del vehículo.  The connectors for the fluid conduction in the aforementioned systems must guarantee the correct supply of the fluid to the different components of the system, supporting at the same time the working pressure and possible overpressures to avoid any type of failure or leakage that may affect the correct functioning of the system and / or putting the safety of the users of the vehicle at risk.
Generalmente estos sistemas comprenden un importante número de conexiones entre los distintos componentes del mismo. Por ejemplo; entre dos elementos de transporte del fluido (latiguillos, tubos rígidos, mangueras flexibles, etc.), entre un elemento de transporte y un elemento funcional (bomba hidráulica, pinza de frenos, amortiguador, ABS, etc.), entre otras conexiones. Asimismo, a medida que los vehículos resultan más complejos, la integración de estos sistemas en ellos resulta cada vez más difícil y complicada. La falta de espacio, la diversidad de elementos a conectar, o el elevado número de conexiones a realizar dificultan significativamente las labores de ensamblaje de estos sistemas. Generally these systems comprise a significant number of connections between the different components of the same. For example; between two fluid transport elements (hoses, rigid pipes, flexible hoses, etc.), between a transport element and a functional element (hydraulic pump, brake caliper, shock absorber, ABS, etc.), among other connections. Also, as vehicles become more complex, the integration of these systems into them becomes increasingly difficult and complicated. The lack of space, the diversity of elements to be connected, or the high number of connections to be made make it difficult to assemble these systems.
El documento EP3104056A1 muestra un conector para la conducción de fluidos que facilita la conexión entre los elementos del sistema durante su ensamblaje al vehículo. Dicho conector comprende un primer extremo de conexión configurado para introducirse dentro de un segundo extremo de conexión según un eje axial para conectar ambos extremos. A su vez, el primer extremo de conexión presenta una acanaladura circular concéntrica al eje axial que conforma un primer rebaje, mientras que el segundo extremo de conexión presenta un orificio conector que conforma un segundo rebaje enfrentado al primer rebaje cuando ambos extremos se encuentran conectados, y un elemento de retención configurado para introducirse por el orificio conector y quedar alojado entre el primer rebaje y el segundo rebaje para mantener unido el primer extremo de conexión al segundo extremo de conexión cuando ambos extremos se encuentran conectados. Document EP3104056A1 shows a connector for conducting fluids that facilitates the connection between the elements of the system during its assembly to the vehicle. Said connector comprises a first connection end configured to be inserted into a second connection end along an axial axis to connect both ends. In turn, the first connection end has a circular groove concentric to the axial axis forming a first recess, while the second connection end has a connecting hole that forms a second recess facing the first recess when both ends are connected, and a retaining element configured to be inserted through the orifice connector and housed between the first recess and the second recess to hold the first connection end to the second connection end when both ends are connected.
A pesar de las ventajas que presenta el conector del documento EP3104056A1 , cabe señalar que su empleo está especialmente previsto para conexiones en las que los extremos de conexión quedan alineados entre sí, una vez conectados, sin que se produzca ningún cambio de dirección u orientación de los mismos. De modo que los elementos a los que se encuentran asociados no suelen presentar una posición predeterminada de montaje. Por tal motivo, dicho conector permite la introducción del primer extremo de conexión dentro del segundo extremo de conexión en cualquier posición y, por consiguiente, que se produzca un movimiento de giro relativo entre ambos extremos, una vez unidos, gracias a la acanaladura circular del primer extremo de conexión. Asimismo, dicha conexión alineada, hace que la aplicación de este conector esté especialmente prevista para la conexión de dos extremos. Despite the advantages of the connector of document EP3104056A1, it should be noted that its use is especially provided for connections in which the connection ends are aligned with each other, once connected, without any change of direction or orientation of the device. the same. Thus, the elements to which they are associated do not usually have a predetermined assembly position. For this reason, said connector allows the introduction of the first connection end inside the second connection end in any position and, consequently, that a relative rotation movement between both ends occurs, once joined, thanks to the circular groove of the first connection end. Likewise, said aligned connection makes the application of this connector specially designed for the connection of two ends.
No obstante, en el sector de la automoción, y especialmente en el campo de los sistemas de frenado de motocicletas, muchos de los elementos asociados a los mismos se encuentran diseñados para ser montados en una posición predeterminada. Es decir, sólo admiten una única posición de montaje, a fin de no interferir con otros componentes del vehículo (como el bastidor, chasis, horquilla, motor, manillar, rueda, etc.). Por lo tanto, los conectores que no presentan una única posición de conexión entre los extremos de conexión asociados a dichos elementos pueden llevar a que se produzcan errores de montaje durante el ensamblaje del vehículo, y/o ralentizar el montaje hasta que el operario encuentra la posición de conexión correcta. However, in the automotive sector, and especially in the field of motorcycle braking systems, many of the elements associated therewith are designed to be assembled in a predetermined position. That is, they only allow a single mounting position, so as not to interfere with other components of the vehicle (such as the frame, chassis, fork, engine, handlebar, wheel, etc.). Therefore, connectors that do not have a single connection position between the connection ends associated with said elements can lead to assembly errors during the assembly of the vehicle, and / or slow down the assembly until the operator finds the correct connection position.
A su vez, algunos de los elementos asociados a estos sistemas requieren también la conexión de más de dos extremos de conexión, como suele ser el caso de los distribuidores hidráulicos, hecho que encuentra también sus limitaciones en el tipo de conector mencionado. In turn, some of the elements associated with these systems also require the connection of more than two connection ends, as is usually the case with hydraulic distributors, a fact that also finds its limitations in the type of connector mentioned.
La presente invención se refiere a un conector para conducción de fluidos, cuya configuración permite fijar una única posición de introducción del primer extremo de conexión dentro del segundo extremo, así como evitar un movimiento de giro relativo entre ambos extremos una vez unidos. Gracias a ello se facilitan considerablemente las operaciones de ensamblaje del vehículo, se reducen los tiempos de montaje de los elementos de dichos sistemas, y se elimina el riesgo de que dichos elementos se monten en una posición incorrecta. A su vez, dicho conector permite también la conexión de más de dos extremos de conexión, por ejemplo, para su aplicación en distribuidores hidráulicos. The present invention relates to a connector for fluid conduction, whose configuration allows to fix a single position of introduction of the first connection end inside the second end, as well as to avoid a movement of relative rotation between both ends once joined. Thanks to this they are considerably facilitated the assembly operations of the vehicle, the assembly times of the elements of said systems are reduced, and the risk that said elements are assembled in an incorrect position is eliminated. In turn, said connector also allows the connection of more than two connection ends, for example, for application in hydraulic distributors.
Descripción de la invención Description of the invention
El conector para conducción de fluidos de la presente invención comprende un primer extremo de conexión y un segundo extremo de conexión asociados respectivamente a un primer elemento y a un segundo elemento de un sistema.  The fluid conduit connector of the present invention comprises a first connection end and a second connection end respectively associated with a first element and a second element of a system.
El primer y el segundo elemento del sistema pueden ser dos elementos de transporte del fluido (latiguillos, tubos rígidos, mangueras flexibles, etc.) conectados entre sí, o bien un elemento de transporte del fluido conectado a un elemento funcional (distribuidor, bomba hidráulica, pinza de frenos, amortiguador, ABS, etc.), entre otros elementos. The first and second element of the system can be two fluid transport elements (hoses, rigid pipes, flexible hoses, etc.) connected to each other, or a fluid transport element connected to a functional element (distributor, hydraulic pump) , brake caliper, shock absorber, ABS, etc.), among other elements.
El primer extremo de conexión se encuentra configurado para introducirse axialmente dentro del segundo extremo de conexión según un eje axial para conectar ambos extremos. El primer extremo de conexión presenta un primer rebaje. The first connection end is configured to be inserted axially into the second connection end along an axial axis to connect both ends. The first connection end has a first recess.
A su vez, el segundo extremo de conexión presenta: In turn, the second connection end presents:
- un orificio conector que conforma un segundo rebaje enfrentado al primer rebaje cuando ambos extremos se encuentran conectados en la posición de montaje correcta; y  - a connector hole forming a second recess facing the first recess when both ends are connected in the correct mounting position; Y
- un elemento de retención configurado para introducirse por el orificio conector y quedar alojado entre el primer rebaje y el segundo rebaje para mantener unido el primer extremo de conexión al segundo extremo de conexión cuando ambos extremos se encuentran conectados en la posición de montaje correcta.  - a retaining element configured to enter the connector hole and be housed between the first recess and the second recess to hold the first connection end to the second connection end when both ends are connected in the correct mounting position.
Dicho conector se caracteriza por que el primer rebaje se encuentra formado por una primera muesca lateral que define un primer tramo recto alrededor del eje axial, sobre el que queda dispuesto a lo largo del mismo el elemento de retención, que permite fijar una posición de introducción del primer extremo de conexión dentro del segundo extremo y evitar un movimiento de giro relativo entre ambos extremos una vez que se encuentran unidos. Said connector is characterized in that the first recess is formed by a first lateral notch defining a first straight section around the axial axis, on which the retention element is arranged along it, which allows to fix an insertion position. of the first connection end inside the second end and avoid a relative turning movement between both ends once it is find united.
En concreto, dado que ambos rebajes únicamente pueden quedar enfrentados en una posición de introducción predeterminada entre ambos extremos, el elemento de retención tampoco puede avanzar a través del orificio conector en otra posición de montaje que no sea la correcta. Por lo tanto, se elimina el riesgo de que dichos elementos se monten en una posición incorrecta. In particular, since both recesses can only be confronted in a predetermined insertion position between both ends, the retention element can also not advance through the connecting hole in another mounting position that is not correct. Therefore, the risk that these elements are assembled in an incorrect position is eliminated.
Por otro lado, dado que el segundo rebaje se encuentra formado por el orificio conector, éste define también un segundo tramo recto en el segundo rebaje. De modo que, el elemento de retención queda alojado longitudinalmente entre el primer tramo recto y el segundo tramo recto, por lo que ambos tramos rectos impiden un movimiento de giro relativo entre ambos extremos. On the other hand, since the second recess is formed by the connecting hole, it also defines a second straight section in the second recess. Thus, the retaining element is housed longitudinally between the first straight section and the second straight section, so that both straight sections prevent a movement of relative rotation between both ends.
El elemento de retención queda alojado entre el primer rebaje y el segundo rebaje pudiendo quedar una pequeña holgura, por ejemplo de 1 mm. Una vez introducido el fluido de trabajo en el circuito el sistema adquiere presión, provocando un pequeño desplazamiento axial relativo entre ambos extremos de conexión para compensar la mencionada holgura. Mientras se mantiene la presión del sistema ambos extremos quedan inamovibles entre sí. Alcanzado con ello unas elevadas prestaciones de trabajo y una gran eficiencia, y pudiendo soportar en algunas aplicaciones presiones punta superiores a 700 bar. The retaining element is housed between the first recess and the second recess and a small clearance, for example 1 mm, can remain. Once the working fluid has been introduced into the circuit, the system acquires pressure, causing a small relative axial displacement between both connection ends to compensate for the aforementioned clearance. While maintaining the pressure of the system, both ends are immovable with each other. Achieved with it high performance of work and high efficiency, and can withstand in some applications peak pressures above 700 bar.

In this way it is ensured that, once the first connection end is introduced, both recesses face each other. Thus, when the retaining element is inserted, it is housed between the first recess and the second recess, preventing from that moment that both connection ends can be separated. To ensure the tightness of the connector when both ends are connected, preferably the first connection end comprises one or more circular grooves, concentric to the axial axis, which house one or more o-rings manufactured, for example, by synthetic rubber, thermostable plastic materials , or thermoplastic materials.
El primer extremo de conexión conecta con un primer tubo externo que define un primer ángulo de orientación de 90° aprox. a 180° respecto al eje axial. Dicho ángulo de orientación depende de la geometría del primer elemento del sistema y de la posición de montaje del mismo con respecto a otros componentes del vehículo. The first connection end connects to a first external tube that defines a first orientation angle of 90 ° approx. at 180 ° with respect to the axial axis. Said angle of orientation depends on the geometry of the first element of the system and the mounting position thereof with respect to other components of the vehicle.

Como se ha comentado anteriormente, el conector de la presente invención permite la conexión de dos o más extremos de conexión asociados a distintos elementos del sistema, por ejemplo, para su aplicación en distribuidores hidráulicos. As mentioned above, the connector of the present invention allows the connection of two or more connection ends associated with different elements of the system, for example, for application in hydraulic distributors.
En el caso de tres elementos, el conector comprende adicionalmente un tercer extremo de conexión asociado a un tercer elemento del sistema, configurado para introducirse dentro del segundo extremo de conexión según un eje axial adicional para conectar ambos extremos. El tercer extremo de conexión presenta un tercer rebaje. In the case of three elements, the connector additionally comprises a third connection end associated with a third element of the system, configured to be inserted into the second connection end along an additional axial axis to connect both ends. The third connection end has a third recess.
A su vez, el segundo extremo de conexión presenta adicionalmente: In turn, the second connection end additionally presents:

Said third recess is formed by a third lateral notch defining a third straight section around the additional axial axis, on which the additional retention element is laterally arranged to prevent a relative turning movement between the third connection end and the second connection end when both ends are joined.
En concreto, dado que ambos rebajes únicamente pueden quedar enfrentados en una posición de introducción predeterminada entre ambos extremos, el elemento de retención adicional tampoco puede avanzar a través del orificio conector adicional en otra posición de montaje que no sea la correcta. Por lo tanto, se elimina el riesgo de que dichos elementos se monten en una posición incorrecta. In particular, since both recesses can only be confronted in a predetermined insertion position between both ends, the additional retention element can also not advance through the additional connector hole in another mounting position that is not correct. Therefore, the risk that these elements are assembled in an incorrect position is eliminated.

On the other hand, since the second additional recess is formed by the additional connector hole, it also defines a second additional straight section in the second additional recess. Thus, the additional retaining element is housed longitudinally between the third straight section and the second additional straight section, so that both straight sections prevent a relative rotation movement between both ends.
Preferentemente, el tercer extremo de conexión comprende un tercer tope adicional configurado para detener la introducción del tercer extremo de conexión dentro del segundo extremo de conexión, y posicionar el tercer rebaje frente al segundo rebaje adicional. De este modo se asegura que, una vez introducido el tercer extremo de conexión, ambos rebajes quedan enfrentados.
