Abstract
A quick connector includes: a connector body for an plug-in member to be inserted therein, the connector body including an indication part; a locking member including a locking leg for locking the plug-in member to the connector body, a movement of the locking leg from an unlocking position to a locking position including an axial movement along insertion direction of the plug-in member and a transverse movement toward the locking position along a transverse direction of the connector body; and a shielding sleeve sleeved outside the connector body. The shielding sleeve is actuated by the locking leg and moved relative to the connector body during the axial and transverse movements. The shielding sleeve is in an initial position when the locking leg is in the unlocking position and in an indication position when the locking leg is in the locking position.
