The connecting groove 201 is opened inside the valve body 1, the closed end 202 is arranged at one end of the valve body 1, the flow groove 203 is arranged inside the connecting groove 201, the number of connecting grooves 201 is three groups, the connecting pipe 204 is arranged inside the connecting groove 201, and a connection is arranged at one end of the connecting groove 201 to connect the connecting pipe 204 and the valve body 1 to each other.

[0032] By setting a connecting component 2 including a connecting groove 201, a closed end 202, a circulation groove 203, a connecting pipe 204 and a connecting bolt 205, the valve is installed at one end of the three groups of connecting pipes 204 when in use, and the connecting pipe 204 is tightly connected to the valve body 1 through the connecting bolt 205. The internal fluid first passes through the connecting groove 201 and then passes through the circulation groove 203, thereby reducing the impact force of the internal fluid and reducing damage to the valve body 1. In addition, the connecting groove 201 at any end can be blocked, so that the valve body 1 can be connected to different numbers of connecting pipes 204, which is more convenient.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the rotating assembly 3 includes a rotating groove 301, a rotating rod 302, a rotating ball head 303 and a connecting hole 304. The rotating groove 301 is opened on the inner side of the top of the valve body 1, the rotating rod 302 is rotatably set inside the rotating groove 301, the rotating ball head 303 is fixedly set at the bottom end of the rotating rod 302, and the connecting hole 304 is opened on the surface of the rotating ball head 303.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the middle part of the valve body 1 extends upward for a distance, a reinforcing plate 4 is fixedly provided on the top of the valve body 1 , and reinforcing holes 5 are opened around the reinforcing plate 4 .

The internal fluid first passes through the connecting groove 201 and then passes through the flow groove 203, so as to reduce the impact force of the internal fluid and reduce damage to the valve body 1. The connecting groove 201 at any end can be blocked, so that the valve body 1 can connect to different numbers of connecting pipes 204. The rotating ball head 303 at the bottom is driven to rotate by the rotating rod 302 to achieve the blocking of the flow groove 203 in different directions. It is installed in the reinforcement hole 5 by bolts to increase the diameter of the top of the valve body 1 to prevent stress fatigue at the top of the valve body 1 during long-term rotation.
