[0029] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Attached Figure 1-7 The medical oxygen valve conversion joint described in the utility model comprises a conversion male head 1, a conversion female head 2 and an elastic quick-insertion component 3;

[0031] One end of the conversion female connector 2 is provided with a receiving cavity 21, and the other end is provided with a female internal thread 22 which is sealed and connected with the external thread of the American standard oxygen valve connector 4, and a female airway 23 which connects the receiving cavity 21 and the female internal thread 22 is provided inside; a plurality of through holes 24 evenly distributed in the circumferential direction are provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity 21;

[0032] The conversion male plug 1 is coaxially arranged in the accommodating cavity 21, and a male plug airway 11 communicating with the female plug airway 23 is arranged inside; the axial cross section of the conversion male plug 1 is step-shaped, with the large end facing outward and the small end facing inward; the large end surface is provided with a plurality of blind holes 12 corresponding to the through holes 24, and the end face is provided with a male plug internal thread 13 sealed and connected with the external thread of the national standard oxygen connector 5; a sealing member 7 is arranged between the small end and the accommodating cavity 21;

[0033] The elastic quick-connect assembly 3 includes a lock ring 31 sleeved on the conversion female head 2 and a plurality of clamping columns 33 arranged in the lock ring 31 and capable of passing through the through hole 24 and extending into the blind hole 12 under the action of a spring 32 .

[0034] During installation: first, thread the male head internal thread 13 and the national standard oxygen connector 5 and seal them with an airtight thread sealant. At this time, the nut 6 is placed behind the ring 52 of the national standard oxygen connector 5; then, the sealing ring is put on the external thread of the American standard oxygen valve connector 4, and then the external thread of the American standard oxygen valve connector 4 is screwed into the female head internal thread 22. If you want better sealing, you can also place a sealing gasket 8 in the female head internal thread 22, so that the external thread end face of the American standard oxygen valve connector 4 presses the sealing gasket 8 for secondary sealing; then, install the elastic quick-insert component 3 on the conversion female head 2, so that multiple clamping columns 33 pass through the through hole 24 and extend into the accommodating chamber 21; finally, insert the conversion male head 1 into the accommodating chamber 21 until the clamping column 33 extends into the blind hole 12, and the conversion female head 2 and the conversion male head 1 are clamped.

[0035] Furthermore, the shoulder of the conversion male head 1 is provided with a chamfer 14; the minimum radius of the chamfer 14 is smaller than the distance from the end to the axis when the clamping column 33 extends into the extreme position in the accommodating cavity 21; when the conversion male head 1 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 21, the clamping column 33 can be lifted up by the chamfer 14, which is convenient for assembly; when the conversion male head 1 is installed in place, the clamping column 33 extends into the blind hole 12 under the action of the spring 32, and clamps the conversion female head 2 and the conversion male head 1.

[0036] Furthermore, the large end surface of the conversion male head 1 is provided with inclined surfaces 15 on both sides of the circumferential direction of the blind hole 12; the large end surface of the conversion male head 1 is provided with inclined grooves 16 extending to the shaft shoulder between adjacent blind holes 12; when disassembly is required, the lock ring 31 is rotated, and the clamping column 33 is lifted up and separated from the blind hole 12 under the action of the inclined surface 15; when the clamping column 33 is rotated to the position of the inclined groove 16, due to the inclination angle of the inclined groove 16 and the force of the clamping column 33 being pushed outward by the spring 32, the conversion female head 2 and the conversion male head 1 are easily separated.

[0037] Furthermore, a groove 34 is provided on the inner wall of the locking ring 31; a positioning platform 35 is provided at the bottom of the groove 34; the clamping column 33 is arranged in the groove 34, and a limiting portion larger than the aperture of the through hole 24 is provided at the tail; the spring 32 is sleeved on the positioning platform 35, and is used to drive the clamping column 33 to move outward; when the elastic quick-plug assembly 3 is installed on the conversion female head 2, the clamping column 33 will pass through the through hole 24 and extend into the accommodating cavity 21 under the action of the spring 32, but because the clamping column 33 is provided with a limiting portion larger than the aperture of the through hole 24 at the tail, it can be ensured that the clamping column 33 will not fall out of the groove 34.

[0038] Furthermore, the elastic quick-connect assembly 3 also includes a connecting ring 36 sleeved on the conversion female head 2; the locking ring 31 is composed of three pieces spliced ​​together and fixed to the connecting ring 36 by bolts 37; the utility model not only facilitates the installation of the clamping column 33 and the spring 32, but also facilitates the installation of the annular groove 25 and the protrusion by splicing the locking ring 31 from three pieces.

[0039] Furthermore, the two ends of the lock ring 31 are respectively provided with a snap-fitting slot 38 and a snap-fitting block 39; the utility model provides the snap-fitting slot 38 and the snap-fitting block 39, so that adjacent lock rings 31 can play a positioning role when spliced, ensuring that their end faces are located in the same plane.

[0040] Furthermore, an annular groove 25 is provided on the outer surface of the conversion female head 2 at one end of the accommodating cavity 21; a protrusion that can be inserted into the annular groove 25 is provided on the inner wall of the locking ring 31; the utility model plays an axial positioning role for the locking ring 31 through the cooperation between the annular groove 25 and the protrusion, ensuring that the clamping column 33 can be aligned with the through hole 24.

[0041] Furthermore, an annular boss 26 is provided at the airway opening of the conversion female connector 2 in the accommodating cavity 21; the small end of the conversion male connector 1 is sleeved on the annular boss 26; the sealing member 7 is located between the annular boss 26 and the small end of the conversion male connector 1 to play a sealing role.

[0042] Furthermore, the sealing member 7 is fixedly mounted on the annular boss 26 or in the small end of the conversion male connector 1, which is not only convenient for assembly but also difficult to be misplaced during installation.

[0043] The above are only specific application examples of the utility model, and do not constitute any limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any technical solution formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement falls within the protection scope of the utility model.
