However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present utility model will be more complete and comprehensive, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2-9, which shows the structural schematic diagram of the combined ball valve connection device provided by the present utility model, including a combined ball valve structure 1, a clamp assembly 2, a sealing hemisphere 3, and a rotating rod 4; the combined ball valve structure 1 is composed of a left valve body 11 and a right valve body 12, the left valve body 11 and the right valve body 12 are of symmetric structure, and the left valve body 11 and the right valve body 12 are connected in a misaligned butt joint at the symmetry line, and a second sealing ring 32 is provided at the misaligned butt joint of the left valve body 11 and the right valve body 12; the clamp assembly 2 is placed on the front and rear outer sides of the symmetry line of the left valve body 11 and the right valve body 12 and is connected by clamping; the left valve body 11 is provided with a plurality of hollow grooves 111, the right valve body 12 is provided with a plurality of hollow grooves 121, and the sealing hemisphere 3 is provided inside both the hollow groove 111 and the hollow groove 121. The sealing hemisphere 3 is provided with holes near the opening direction to cooperate with the rotating rod 4. The cross-section of the rotating rod 4 is of square structure. One end of the rotating rod 4 is placed outside the top of the combined ball valve structure 1, and the other end is placed inside the bottom of the combined ball valve structure 1. The rotating rod 4 is provided with a left rotating rod 47 and a right rotating rod 48, which respectively pass through the left valve body 11 and the right valve body 12 and the sealing hemisphere 3 for cooperative connection.

[0033] The clamp assembly 2 is composed of a clamp 21 and a buckle structure 22; the clamp 21 is symmetrically arranged in a surrounding shape by a front clamp 211 and a rear clamp 212; the buckle structure 22 is placed outside one end of the clamp 21 and is hinged at the other end; the buckle structure 22 is composed of two groups of locking hooks 221, a torsion spring 222, and a pin shaft 223 relatively. The pin shaft 223 respectively passes through the through holes of the torsion spring 222 and the locking hook 221 and is fixed at one end of the clamp 21. The hooked end of the locking hook 221 can be hooked on the opposite pin shaft 223.

[0034] A fixed cover 41 is sleeved on the top of the rotating rod 4. A limit steel ball 42 is provided inside the fixed cover 41 near the symmetry line of the left valve body 11 and the right valve body 12. A return spring 43 is provided below the limit steel ball 42, and a limit gasket 44 is provided above the limit steel ball 42. The limit gasket 44 is in sealed contact with the inner side of the fixed cover 41. A first sealing ring 45 is respectively provided at the connection of the left rotating rod 47 and the left valve body 11 and the connection of the right rotating rod 48 and the right valve body 12. To prevent the sealing hemisphere 3 from rotating, a limit steel ball 42 is added at the limit gasket 44, and the limit steel ball 42 prevents the limit gasket 44 from rotating under the action of the return spring 43. Since the limit gasket 44 is connected and fixed to the rotating rod 4 through a square hole, and at the same time the rotating rod 4 is connected and fixed to the limit steel ball 42 through a square hole, the limit steel ball 42 can be prevented from accidentally rotating.

[0035] Sealing gaskets 31 are respectively further provided at the arc parts of the sealing hemisphere 3 and the gaps of the hollow grooves 111 and 121, and a corrugated spring 46 is further provided between the sealing gaskets 31 and the left valve body 11 and the right valve body 12.

[0036] AsFigure 5 Separation diagram of the clamp assembly and the combined ball valve structure. When the connected pipeline needs to be separated, rotate the rotating rod 4. The sealing hemisphere 3 contacts the sealing gasket 31, and the hemisphere compresses the corrugated spring 46, causing the sealing gasket 31 to generate a sealing pressing force with the sealing hemisphere 3. The left and right valve body pipelines form a self-seal under the isolation of the sealing hemisphere 3 and the sealing gasket 31. Pull the buckle structure 22 of the clamp assembly 2, and the left and right valve bodies are disengaged from the clamp 21, quickly realizing the separation of the pipeline.

[0037] As Figure 6 shown, pull the buckle in the direction of the arrow with an external force F. The locking hook 221 overcomes the acting force of the torsion spring 222 and disengages from the pin shaft 223, realizing the separation of the pipeline connected to the left and right valve bodies.

[0038] As Figure 7-8 shown, when the left and right valve bodies are connected, under the action of an external force F, the locking hook 221 is connected to the pin shaft 223. At the same time, the locking hook 221 clamps the pin shaft 223 under the action of the torsion spring 222 to prevent the locking hook 221 from automatically disengaging from the pin shaft 223.

[0039] Figure 9 shown, when the clamp assembly 2 is docked, the connection surface between the left and right valve bodies and the clamp is a 24° conical structure with a conical surface contact connection, which is convenient for the clamp to be guided and positioned, making the connection between the left and right valve bodies more reliable. After the left and right valve bodies are connected, rotate the left rotating rod 47 and the right rotating rod 48 to make the sealing hemisphere in the open position, and the pipeline connected by the left and right valve bodies is connected.

[0040] Adopting the structure form of the hemisphere and the sealing gasket can realize the simultaneous connection of 2 groups or more pipelines; adopting the clamp connection, the separation and docking are convenient; the gasket adopts a spring steel ball limit structure to prevent the hemisphere from rotating accidentally; adopting the corrugated spring to ensure the reliable sealing between the hemisphere and the sealing gasket; the clamp and the valve body adopt a conical surface contact, which is convenient for the connection between the valve body and the clamp and has reliable performance.
