A valve hole 43 is opened at the center of the throttle valve 4, and the valve hole 43 is connected to the flow hole 11.

[0033] In a possible implementation manner, a groove 421 is formed on the outer side of the sealing surface 42 , and a sealing ring is formed in the groove 421 for sealing the sealing surface 42 and the flow hole 12 .

[0036] In a possible implementation, the front end of the pipe joint 5 contacts the rear end of the throttle valve 4. When the clamping nut 7 is tightened, as the clamping nut 7 moves forward, the front end of the pipe joint 5 squeezes the throttle valve 4, pushing the throttle valve 4 to slide forward until the sealing ring on the sealing surface 42 is squeezed and deformed, thereby achieving sealing between the sealing surface 42 and the flow hole 12.

[0037] In a possible implementation manner, the compression nut 7 is loosened, and the pipe joint 5 and the throttle valve 4 can be taken out in turn, and the throttle valve 4 can be replaced with a throttle valve 4 of a suitable aperture.

This has a positive impact on environmental protection and cost control.

[0042] In a possible implementation, the novel variable throttle valve diverter has a controllable tightening force. Through proper design and processing, the threaded connection can achieve sufficient tightening force during installation and can be easily disassembled during disassembly.

[0043] In a possible implementation, the novel variable throttle valve diverter has the advantages of simple structure, reliable connection, and strong practicality.
