Abstract

A quickconnect structure having a fitting connector, a connector, and U-shaped positioning snap pin. The fitting connector has a connector part, a fitting connector body part coupled to the connector part, and a fitting part coupled to the fitting connector. The connector part, the fitting connector body part, and the fitting part define a fitting hole extending therethrough, and the fitting part defines positioning groove, a longitudinal snap hole, and a side snap opening in communication with the longitudinal snap hole. The connector has a connection end, a connector body part coupled to the connection end, and a positioning bump. The connection end and the connector body part define a duct hole extending therethrough, the connection end defines a positioning snap groove, and the fitting connector is configured to accept the connection end in the fitting hole. When the connection end is fully inserted into the fitting connector, the positioning bump is located in the positioning groove, and the longitudinal snap hole is aligned with the positioning snap groove. The U-shaped positioning snap pin has a pin base, a pin body part coupled to the pin base, and a snap protrusion coupled to the pin body part. The U-shaped positioning snap pin is configured to be partially inserted and fully inserted into the longitudinal snap hole; when partially interested, the snap protrusion engages the side snap opening and the connector is able to be inserted into the fitting connector; and when fully inserted and when the connector is inserted into the fitting connector, the pin body part engages the positioning snap groove and the snap protrusion engages a longitudinal snap hole exit.
