Claim:
1. A quick release connector, including: a female connector, including an inner sleeve member, an outer sleeve member slidably sleeved on the inner sleeve member, a first elastic member abutting against between the inner sleeve member and the outer sleeve member, a blocking member disposed on the inner sleeve member and partially protrudable into the inner sleeve member and a first elastic abutting assembly disposed in the female connector, the inner sleeve member having an inserting opening, the first elastic abutting assembly elastically abutting against the inner sleeve member toward the inserting opening, the outer sleeve member formed with a first shallow recess and a first deep recess on an inner circumferential wall thereof, a protrusion disposed between the first shallow recess and the first deep recess; a male connector, including a connecting protrusion, the connecting protrusion formed with a second shallow recess and a second deep recess, the connecting protrusion being releasably inserted into the inner sleeve member and connected with the inner sleeve member, the connecting protrusion being movable between a stuck position and a releasing position relative to the inner sleeve member, the connecting protrusion elastically abutted by the first elastic abutting assembly and normally located in the stuck position; wherein when the connecting protrusion is in the stuck position, the first and second shallow recesses correspond to each other, the blocking member is partially protrudable into the inner sleeve member and is located between the first and second shallow recesses, the connecting protrusion is stuck and abutted against a side of the blocking member, the first deep recess of the outer sleeve member is unmovable toward the blocking member; when the connecting protrusion is in the releasing position, the second deep recess corresponds to the first shallow recess, the blocking member is located between the second deep recess and the first shallow recess, the blocking member is partially retreatable into the second deep recess, the connecting protrusion is unabutted with the blocking member, the first deep recess of the outer sleeve member is movable toward the blocking member; when the first deep recess corresponds to the blocking member, the blocking member is partially retreatable into the first deep recess, and the connecting protrusion is withdrawable from the inner sleeve member; wherein the first elastic abutting assembly includes a first resistance member and a first elastic abutting member, the first elastic abutting member abuts against between an inner wall of the inner sleeve member and the first resistance member and urges the first resistance member toward the inserting opening, the male connector includes a second elastic abutting assembly disposed therein and an opening disposed at an end of the connecting protrusion, the second elastic abutting assembly includes a second resistance member and a second elastic abutting member which abuts against between an inner wall of the male connector and the second resistance member, and the second elastic abutting member urges the second resistance member toward the opening; wherein an end of the first resistance member has a recessed stepped portion, during insertion of the connecting protrusion into the inner sleeve member, the second resistance member abuts the first resistance member to move backward to allow the blocking member to move radially within the recessed stepped portion so that the protrusion of the outer sleeve member is unabutted by the blocking member, the first deep recess is movable toward the blocking member, and the connecting protrusion is insertable into the inner sleeve member to be connected with the inner sleeve member.
