[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 3The utility model provides a technical solution: a length-adjustable valve comprises a valve seat 1, a guide groove 2 is provided inside the valve seat 1, a valve plate 3 is rotatably connected inside the guide groove 2, a regulator 4 is installed on the top of the valve seat 1, a worm wheel 5 and a worm 6 are rotatably connected inside the regulator 4, the worm wheel 5 and the worm 6 are meshed, a first square valve stem 7 is rotatably connected on one side of the regulator 4, the worm wheel 5 and the worm 6 are respectively connected to the valve plate 3 and the first square valve stem 7, a limiting groove 8 is provided inside the first square valve stem 7, a second square valve stem 9 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 8, a handle 10 is connected to one end of the second square valve stem 9, the first square valve stem 7 is driven and kept consistent with the valve plate 3 by the meshing of the worm wheel 5 and the worm 6, and the handle 10 drives the valve plate 3 to rotate and rotate. When the second square valve stem 9 and the first square valve stem 7 rotate, the valve plate 3 is triggered to rotate, which can control the opening and closing of the valve seat 1. A protective cover 12 is installed on the outer wall of the regulator 4 and on the outer side of the first square valve stem 7, which is convenient for protecting the second square valve stem 9 and the handle 10, so that they are not easily accidentally touched and damaged by external forces. At the same time, through the sliding structure of the first square valve stem 7 and the second square valve stem 9, it is convenient to adjust the overall length of the first square valve stem 7 and the second square valve stem 9, and move the handle 10 out of the protective cover 12 to ensure the normal use of the valve seat 1. A plurality of positioning holes 13 are provided inside the first square valve stem 7 and at the bottom of the limiting groove 8, and a slide groove 14 is provided inside the second square valve stem 9. The slide groove 14 is internally slidably connected with The positioning rod 15 has an arc shape at one end, and one end of the positioning rod 15 passes through one of the positioning holes 13. A telescopic spring 16 is installed inside the slide groove 14, and one end of the telescopic spring 16 is connected to the other end of the positioning rod 15, so that when one end of the positioning rod 15 is squeezed by the limiting groove 8 in the first square valve stem 7 as the second square valve stem 9 moves, it can automatically retract into the slide groove 14 in the second square valve stem 9, and under the action of the telescopic spring 16, it is inserted into the positioning hole 13 corresponding to the required position, and is limited to fix the position of the second square valve stem 9 and the handle 10. The structure of the protective cover 12 is concave, so that the hand can contact the handle 10 in the protective cover 12 through the gap of the protective cover 12, and the auxiliary handle 10 Sliding, movable grooves 17 are provided inside the valve seat 1 and on both sides corresponding to the guide groove 2, and a connecting pipe 18 is slidably connected inside the movable groove 17. The sliding structure allows the two connecting pipes 18 to expand outward, extending or adjusting the overall length of the valve seat 1, which is beneficial to improving the flexibility of the connection between the valve seat 1 and the pipeline. A sealing ring 11 is installed inside the movable groove 17, which is beneficial to increase the sealing between the movable groove 17 and the connecting pipe 18 to avoid leakage. A flow sensor 19 is installed inside the guide groove 2 and on one side of the valve plate 3, and a controller 20 is installed on one side of the regulator 4 and on the top of the protective cover 12. A warning light 21 is installed on one side of the controller 20, and the controller 20 is electrically connected to the flow sensor 19 and the warning light 21 respectively.The flow sensor 19 can determine the opening and closing status of the valve seat 1 according to the flow of the fluid in the guide groove 2, transmit the signal to the controller 20, and trigger the warning light 21 to light up to remind the user, which is helpful to prevent the user from forgetting to close the valve seat 1.

[0021] In summary, when the length-adjustable valve is used, since the first square valve stem 7 on one side of the regulator 4 is slidably connected with the second square valve stem 9, and a protective cover 12 is installed on the outer wall of the regulator 4 and located on the outer side of the first square valve stem 7, the handle 10 at one end of the second square valve stem 9 is pulled through the gap at the bottom of the protective cover 12 on one side of the regulator 4, and the handle 10 and the second square valve stem 9 can be moved outward from the protective cover 12. At the same time, the arc structure at one end of the positioning rod 15 in the slide groove 14 in the second square valve stem 9 is squeezed and automatically retracted into the slide groove 14, and the telescopic spring 16 is squeezed until it is aligned with the positioning hole 13 on the first square valve stem 7 at the desired position. The telescopic spring 16 pushes the positioning rod 15 to return to its original position, so that one end of the positioning rod 15 is inserted into the positioning hole 13, The first square valve stem 7 and the second square valve stem 9 are fixed. At this time, rotating the handle 10 can drive the first square valve stem 7 to rotate. Similarly, under the action of the meshing of the worm wheel 5 and the worm 6 in the regulator 4, and the connection of the worm wheel 5 and the worm 6 with the valve plate 3 and the first square valve stem 7 respectively, the valve plate 3 rotates accordingly to control the switch of the valve seat 1 and the circulation of the fluid. When closing, the handle 10 is rotated in the opposite direction and the handle 10 and the second square valve stem 9 are pushed into the first square valve stem 7 to shorten the overall length of the first square valve stem 7 and the second square valve stem 9 so that the handle 10 is located in the protective cover 12. Since the two movable grooves 17 in the valve seat 1 are slidably connected to the inside thereof with the connecting pipe 18, the two connecting pipes 18 can be slid according to demand to adjust the length of the valve seat 1.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
