Abstract
An insert piece for inserting into a rapid connector device for fluid lines. The insert piece comprises a hollow cylindrical main part, and the hollow cylindrical main part extends between a front annular surface and a rear annular surface along a cylinder axis and has a passage opening extending along the cylinder axis and an outer lateral surface for arranging on the inner wall of a rapid connector device The passage opening has a passage section which expands in the direction of the front annular surface. The insert piece can prevent a fluid line and/or a rapid connector device from being damaged.
Claims14
A system for connecting fluid lines, comprising:
- a quick-action connector device having an entry opening and an inner wall extending from the entry opening into the quick-action connector device;
- a fluid line having an end piece;
- and
- an insert piece comprising:
- a hollow-cylindrical main body, wherein the hollow-cylindrical main body:
- extends along a cylinder axis between
- a front ring surface and
- a rear ring surface,
- has a passage opening extending along the cylinder axis, and
- has an outer lateral surface arranged in a depression arranged on the inner wall of the quick-action connector device such that the insert piece is arranged on the inner wall by way of the outer lateral surface,
- wherein the passage opening has a passage section which widens in the direction of the front ring surface,
- wherein the passage opening extends through the entire hollow-cylindrical main body and connects a ring opening of the front ring surface to a ring opening of the rear ring surface,
- wherein the passage section has a rounded edge on the front ring surface,
- wherein the hollow-cylindrical main body has a bevel which extends in a ring-shaped manner around the passage section and which delimits the passage section radially at the hollow-cylindrical main body,
- wherein the bevel is a surface defining the passage section at the hollow-cylindrical main body,
- wherein the bevel converges conically from the front ring surface to a section of the passage opening arranged outside the bevel,
- wherein, when the fluid line is introduced into the quick-action connector device, the end piece of the fluid line is arranged on the bevel of the insert piece by way of an upper surface of the fluid line,
- wherein, upon contact with the insert piece, the end piece of the fluid line transmits a force to the insert piece,
- wherein the contact between the end piece of the fluid line and the insert piece is realized at the rounded edge, and
- wherein the end piece has an outer diameter whose magnitude is between a maximum diameter at the passage section and a minimum diameter of the passage opening.
