Abstract

A check joint structure for a connection of an air nozzle of a tire and a connection hose of an air compressor, the air compressor contains: a box, a sealant supply can, and a connection hose. The box includes a body of the air compressor. The sealant supply can includes an open segment and a supply tube. The connection hose includes a first segment and a second segment. The second segment has a check connector which includes a fitting sleeve, and the fitting sleeve has a threaded orifice, a through orifice, and a projected shoulder. A cylindrical base includes a cylindrical room, a stepped coupling segment, a conduit, and a first stepped portion. A first spring is received into the cylindrical room to abut against the first stepped portion. A valve bolt includes a contacting element, at least one cutout, a head, a conical rib, and a neck.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A check joint structure for connecting with an air nozzle of a tire, comprising:
a check connector configured to connect to an end of a connection hose of an air compressor, the check connector comprising:
a fitting sleeve, wherein the fitting sleeve has a threaded orifice formed at a first end thereof and having female threads, a through orifice defined on a second end of the fitting sleeve, and a projecting shoulder formed on an inner wall of the through orifice, wherein a diameter of the projecting shoulder is greater than a diameter of the through orifice, and the threaded orifice is in communication with the through orifice;
a cylindrical base comprising a cylindrical room, a stepped coupling segment extending on an outer wall of a first end of the cylindrical base, and a conduit defined in the stepped coupling segment and communicating with the cylindrical room, wherein a diameter of the cylindrical room is greater than a diameter of the conduit, and the cylindrical base further includes a first stepped portion formed between the cylindrical room and the conduit;
a first spring disposed in the cylindrical room of the cylindrical base so that a first end of the first spring abuts against the first stepped portion;
a valve bolt in a columnar shape, the valve bolt comprising a contacting element arranged on a first end of the valve bolt, a second end of the valve bolt inserted through the cylindrical room of the cylindrical base and the conduit of the stepped coupling segment to extend out of the stepped coupling segment of the cylindrical base, and the contacting element abuts against a second end of the first spring; and
a first abutting loop disposed on the second end of the valve bolt;
wherein the first spring pushes the valve bolt so that first abutting loop of the valve bolt contacts with the stepped coupling segment of the cylindrical base and closes the conduit.

2. The check joint structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the fitting sleeve has a chamber defined therein, and the threaded orifice, the chamber, and the through orifice are in communication with one another;
the cylindrical base includes a trench formed on an outer wall of a second end thereof, and the cylindrical base includes a recessed section formed proximate to the stepped coupling segment;
wherein a diameter of the cylindrical base is greater than a diameter of the recessed section, and a second stepped portion is defined between the cylindrical base and the recessed section.

3. The check joint structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein:
a first seal ring is disposed on the trench of the cylindrical base; and
the stepped coupling segment of the cylindrical base is disposed in the chamber from the threaded orifice of the fitting sleeve via the through orifice so that the projecting shoulder contacts with the second stepped portion of the cylindrical base.

4. The check joint structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein:
the valve bolt includes at least one cutout defined on an outer wall of the contacting element, a head extending from the second end of the valve bolt, a conical rib extending from the valve bolt away from the first end of the valve bolt and adjacent to the head, wherein a largest diameter of the conical rib is equal to the diameter of the conduit, and the valve bolt further includes a neck formed between the conical rib and the head, such that the neck and the head of the valve bolt extend out of the stepped coupling segment of the cylindrical base; and
the first abutting loop is disposed on the neck of the valve bolt, a first end of the first abutting loop abutting against the conical rib of the valve bolt, and a second end of the first abutting loop is fixed by a lock element.

5. The check joint structure as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the stepped coupling segment of the cylindrical base extends out of the fitting sleeve to connect with the end of the connection hose, and a fixing bushing is configured to connect the connection hose and the check connector together.

6. The check joint structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a valve core assembly is accommodated in the air nozzle of the tire, and the valve core assembly includes:
a mounting, an aperture defined in the mounting;
an arcuate stop shoulder surrounding a mouth of the mounting and extending inward from an end of the mounting;
a hollow receiving sleeve having a retaining shoulder formed on a first end of the hollow receiving sleeve, and a holder formed on a second end of the hollow receiving sleeve;
a central needle having a columnar shape and comprising multiple spaced ribs formed on the central needle;
a second spring engaging with the central needle, a first end of the second spring abutting against the multiple spaced ribs of the central needle; wherein the central needle is received in the hollow receiving sleeve from the first end of the hollow receiving sleeve so that a second end of the second spring contacts with the holder, and the second spring is surrounded by the receiving hollow sleeve;
a second abutting loop disposed on a first end of the central needle;
wherein after the hollow receiving sleeve is connected with the mounting, the arcuate stop shoulder of the mounting engages with the retaining shoulder of the hollow receiving sleeve, a second end of the central needle extends out of the aperture of the mounting, and the second spring pushes the second abutting loop of the central needle to close the holder of the hollow receiving sleeve.
