Abstract

A blind-mating floating clamp device includes a device body having two opposite side surfaces respectively provided a through hole penetrating the inside of the device body, and an elastic member assembled inside the device body, and a quick connector with the shank thereof movably inserted into the through holes of the device body. The diameter of each through hole is larger than the inner diameter of the elastic member or smaller than the outer diameter of the elastic member. The shank of the quick connector is movably held at the inner diameter of the elastic member, so that the docking portion located in the shank can be assembled with a corresponding preset adapter. It achieves elastic floating offset, rapid adjustment, convenient assembly and docking purposes, and the quick connector application is not easily restricted by the installation position.
