Abstract: A connector assembly for a heat exchanger has a fitting and a mount to which the fitting couples. The fitting has an elongate body having a proximal portion and a distal portion. At the proximal portion there is a crossbar, and at the distal portion there are an inlet and an outlet that protrude away from the body. Two wings extend from the body in a direction opposite to that of the inlet and outlet. There is formed on each of the wings a locking protrusion. The mount has a top portion where there is a groove dimensioned to accept the crossbar of the fitting. A longitudinal channel is formed orthogonal to the groove in the mount. Two sidewalls extend from the mount each for accepting a corresponding one of the wings, when the fitting is coupled to the mount. Apertures are provided at the sidewalls to engage the protrusion at the wings so that, once the fitting is coupled to the mount, it is secured thereto, until a force is exerted to compress the wings towards each other to disengage the protrusions from the apertures. To couple the fitting to the mount, a user first positions the crossbar of the fitting onto the groove of the mount, with the body of the fitting at an angle relative to the mount. With the crossbar resting on the groove, a pivot point is established between the fitting and the mount, so that the body of the fitting can be pivotally positioned within the channel of the mount. At that time the inlet and outlet of the fitting are mated to an output port and an input port, respectively, of the mount; and the protrusions at the wings of the fitting are engaged to the apertures at the sidewalls of the mount. An infusate line and a heat exchanger are connected to the proximal end and distal end, respectively, of the fitting.

Abstract translation: 用于热交换器的连接器组件具有配件和配件连接的安装件。 配件具有细长主体，其具有近侧部分和远侧部分。 在近端部分有一个横杆，在远端部分有一个从主体突出的入口和出口。 两个翅膀从身体向与入口和出口相反的方向延伸。 在每个翼上形成锁定突起。 安装座的顶部有一个槽，其尺寸可以接受配件的横杆。 纵向通道形成为与支架中的凹槽正交。 当配件连接到支架时，两个侧壁从支架延伸出来以用于接收对应的一个翼。 在侧壁上设置孔以与翼处的突起接合，从而一旦配件联接到安装件上，就将其固定到其上，直到施加力以朝向彼此压缩翼以使突起与孔脱离接合。 为了将配件连接到底座，使用者首先将配件的横杆定位到底座的凹槽上，使配件的主体相对于底座成一定角度。 在横杆搁置在凹槽上的情况下，在配件和安装件之间建立枢转点，使得配件的本体可枢转地定位在安装件的通道内。 此时，配件的入口和出口分别与支架的输出端口和输入端口配合; 并且配件的翼部处的突起接合到安装件的侧壁处的孔。 注入线和热交换器分别连接到配件的近端和远端。
