Coradial connector system with plug and socket components
The granted patent US12068560B2 describes a connector system designed for welding or plasma cutting operations, featuring a plug and socket configuration that allows for efficient electrical and fluid connections. The system includes a socket with a housing and a tab, and a plug with a housing that has a radially positioned bearing surface. The tab is engineered to engage the bearing surface of the plug, while a translatable collar with multiple radially disposed fingers enables the disengagement of the tab, facilitating the removal of the plug from the socket. The design allows for the plug to be inserted into the socket in any radial alignment, ensuring versatility in connection.
Further claims detail the internal structure of both the plug and socket, which include process conductors for conducting current and fluid, as well as signal conductors for electrical signals. These conductors are arranged coaxially, with insulators positioned between them to prevent interference. The system is designed to allow the plug to rotatably connect to the socket, ensuring a secure fluid and electrical coupling. The translatable collar mechanism enhances the ease of disconnection, allowing the plug to be removed by translating the collar, which disengages the retaining tab from the bearing surface. Overall, the connector system aims to provide a reliable and flexible solution for conducting process currents and fluids in industrial applications.
