The outer diameter of the skirt 3 is the same as the outer diameter of the sealing ring 2, and the end of the skirt 3 is provided with at least two protrusions 4 extending horizontally toward the inner wall of the socket base shell 1.

[0033] For details, please refer to the attached Figure 1 The sealing ring 2 is installed inside the socket base shell 1. The socket base shell 1 is an L-shaped tube. The socket base shell 1 is connected to the plug shell 8. The plug shell 8 is a tubular structure. The two ports of the socket base shell 1 and the plug shell 8 that are opposite to each other are used to realize the connection of the high-pressure water supply pipeline. The upper end of the sealing ring 2 is set as a tubular structure, and the lower end is provided with a tubular skirt 3. The thickness of the skirt 3 is thinner than that of the sealing ring 2, and at least two protrusions 4 are provided at the end of the skirt 3 away from the sealing ring 2. The protrusions 4 extend from the skirt 3 to the socket base shell 1, and there is a certain gap between adjacent protrusions 4, so that the button-type fluid connector is plugged and unplugged under pressure. In the connected state, the liquid can flow back to the cavity from the notch position at the cross section, thereby preventing leakage caused by liquid splashing caused by pressure and ensuring the sealing of the connector product.

[0034] Optionally, the sealing ring 2 can be cut and modified from an existing sealing ring, that is, the raised portion at the end of the skirt 3 can be cut along a plane tangent to the side of the sealing ring 2. This allows the sealing ring that has been manufactured but not assembled to be modified, thereby reducing costs.

[0035] Optionally, providing a through hole on the skirt 3 can also achieve the technical effect of the present application and also falls within the protection scope of the present application.

[0036] On the basis of the above embodiment, a plurality of triangular prism-shaped support members 5 are provided inside the sealing ring 2 , and two end faces of the support members 5 are respectively disposed against the lower end face of the sealing ring 2 and the inner wall face of the skirt 3 .

[0037] For details, please refer to the attached Figure 3A plurality of support members 5 are arranged inside the sealing ring 2, and the structural strength of the sealing ring 2 is improved by the support members 5. In the prior art, the raised portion 4 at the end of the skirt 3 of the sealing ring 2 enables the sealing ring 2 to play a sealing role, while the structural strength of the raised portion 4 of the present application is reduced after the improvement, which can easily cause deformation of the sealing ring 2 under high pressure. Therefore, a plurality of support members 5 are arranged to improve the overall structural strength and extend the service life.

[0038] On the basis of the above embodiment, the protrusion 4 is an arc-shaped protrusion, the width of the protrusion 4 in the horizontal direction gradually decreases from the skirt 3 to the socket base housing 1, and the radius of the protrusion 4 is greater than the radius of the sealing ring 2.

[0039] For details, please refer to the attached Figure 2 The raised portion 4 is an arc-shaped structure and the width of the raised portion 4 in the horizontal direction gradually decreases from the skirt 3 to the inner circumference of the socket base shell 1, which can ensure that a large connection area is maintained between the raised portion 4 and the skirt 3, and the structure is stable. The outer circumferential size of the raised portion 4 is less than or equal to the inner circumferential size of the socket base shell 1 to ensure that the raised portion 4 can be installed in the socket base shell 1.

[0040] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, each protrusion 4 has the same structure and two adjacent protrusions 4 are provided with a smooth cut surface, and the smooth cut surface is tangent to the outer wall surface of the sealing ring 2 .

[0041] Specifically, there is at least one raised portion 4, and the raised portion 4 can be obtained by cutting off the sealing ring in the prior art. The skirt end of the lower end of the sealing ring in the prior art is provided with an annular protrusion, and the raised portion 4 can be obtained by cutting off the annular protrusion through a section tangent to the outer periphery of the sealing ring. The main purpose of the cutting is to cut a notch on the annular protrusion so that the liquid can return from the notch during pressure plugging and unplugging to prevent leakage.

[0042] On the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a first elastic member 13, a sealing rod 6 and a limiting assembly 7. The limiting assembly 7 is used to be arranged at the bottom of the socket base shell 1 and is used to limit the sealing rod 6.
