Abstract
A valve connector includes a body and a control component. The body has a through hole divided into a first receiving section and a second receiving section. The control component has a body portion with a guide hole connecting to the through hole. The body portion has an abutting end and a control end exposed at the second end for attachment to an inflating device. The control component can move relative to the body, with the abutting end selectively entering the first receiving section to abut against the core rod of the Schrader valve, and with a sealing ring selectively abutting the second receiving section, enabling easy detachment of the valve from the valve connector.
Claims19
A valve connector, comprising:
- a body having a first end for connecting to a Schrader valve, a second end opposite the first end, and a through hole extending between the first end and the second end, wherein an inner peripheral surface of the through hole forms a shoulder dividing the through hole into a first receiving section and a second receiving section, and wherein the through hole is provided with a sealing ring on an inner peripheral surface of the second receiving section;
- and
- a control component movable relative to the body in an axial direction between a first position and a second position, wherein the control component is provided with a body portion and a guide hole inside the body portion and communicating with the through hole, wherein one end of the body portion forms an abutting end and the other end forms a control end exposed out of the second end for connecting to an inflating device, wherein the guide hole allows airflow between the abutting end and the control end to facilitate communication between the through hole and the inflating device, wherein the body portion is provided with a release portion positioned between the abutting end and the control end, wherein the release portion has a proximal end near the abutting end, and a distal end farther from the abutting end, and wherein the proximal end has a first outer diameter, and the distal end has a second outer diameter greater than the first outer diameter;
- wherein when the control component is in the first position, the sealing ring is positioned between the release portion and the control end and abuts against an outer peripheral surface of the body portion, with the abutting end inserting through the shoulder and entering the first receiving section to abut against a core rod of the Schrader valve;
- wherein when the control component is in the second position, the sealing ring is positioned between the release portion and the abutting end and detaches from the outer peripheral surface of the body portion, with the abutting end withdrawing from the first receiving section.
A valve connector, comprising:
- a body having a first end for connecting to a Schrader valve, a second end opposite the first end, and a through hole extending between the first end and the second end, wherein an inner peripheral surface of the through hole forms a shoulder dividing the through hole into a first receiving section and a second receiving section, wherein the through hole is provided with a release portion on an inner peripheral surface of the second receiving section, wherein the release portion has a proximal end near the shoulder, and a distal end farther from the shoulder, and wherein the proximal end has a first inner diameter, and the distal end has a second inner diameter greater than the first inner diameter;
- and
- a control component movable relative to the body in an axial direction between a first position and a second position, wherein the control component is provided with a body portion and a guide hole inside the body portion and communicating with the through hole, wherein one end of the body portion forms an abutting end and the other end forms a control end exposed out of the second end for connecting to an inflating device, wherein the guide hole allows airflow between the abutting end and the control end to facilitate communication between the through hole and the inflating device, and wherein the body portion is provided with a sealing ring positioned between the abutting end and the control end;
- wherein when the control component is in the first position, the sealing ring is positioned between the release portion and the shoulder and abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the second receiving section, with the abutting end inserting through the shoulder and entering the first receiving section to abut against a core rod of the Schrader valve;
- wherein when the control component is in the second position, the sealing ring is positioned between the release portion and the second end and detaches from the inner peripheral surface of the second receiving section, with the abutting end withdrawn from the first receiving section.
A valve connector, comprising:
- a body having an air channel and a penetrating hole communicating with the air channel;
- a connecting assembly rotatably mounted to the penetrating hole and configured to connect with a Schrader valve, wherein the connecting assembly is provided with a through hole communicating with the air channel, wherein an inner peripheral surface of the through hole forms a release portion dividing the through hole into a first receiving section and a second receiving section, wherein the release portion has a proximal end connected to the first receiving section, and a distal end connected to the second receiving section, and wherein the proximal end has a first internal diameter, and the distal end has a second internal diameter greater than the first inner diameter;
- a control component movable relative to the connecting assembly in an axial direction between a first position and a second position, wherein the control component is provided with a body portion and a guide recess outside the body portion and communicating with the through hole, wherein one end of the body portion forms an abutting end and the other end forms a control end exposed out of the through hole, wherein the guide recess allows airflow from the abutting end to facilitate communication between the through hole and the air channel, and wherein the body portion is provided with a sealing ring positioned at the control end;
- and
- a lever pivotally mounted to the connecting assembly to selectively push against the control end and actuate the control component to switch between the first position and the second position;
- wherein when the control component is in the first position, the sealing ring is positioned in the first receiving section and abuts against an inner peripheral surface of the first receiving section, with the abutting end abutting against a core rod of the Schrader valve;
- wherein when the control component is in the second position, the sealing ring is positioned between the release portion and the second receiving section and detaches from the inner peripheral surface of the first receiving section, with the abutting end spaced from the core rod of the Schrader valve.
