DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Embodiment 1. The purpose of this embodiment is to facilitate the solution of the problem that in the existing copper joint, when transmitting gas, the connection may become loose when the air pressure is relatively high, and at this time, the gas may leak from the gap. Please refer to Figures 1-4, A copper joint for sealed connection, comprising a main joint 110, a threaded tube 111, a connecting tube 112, an air tube 113 and a connecting microtube 114. The threaded tube 111 is fixedly installed at one end of the main joint 110, the connecting tube 112 is installed at the other end of the main joint 110, the air tube 113 is fixedly inserted at the bottom of the main joint 110. An internal thread ring 115 for external thread connection is provided inside the threaded tube 111. A connection hole 116 is formed inside the connecting tube 112, the connecting microtube 114 is inserted into the connection hole 116, a clamping block 117 is installed outside the connecting microtube 114, a clamping groove 118 corresponding to the clamping block 117 is formed inside the connecting tube 112, the clamping block 117 is engaged with the clamping groove 118, and a first sealing ring 119 is fixedly sleeved outside the connecting microtube 114.
[0023] Fix the threaded tube 111 at one end of the main joint 110 to ensure a tight threaded connection and avoid any looseness. The internal thread ring 115 inside the threaded tube 111 should ensure a perfect fit with the externally threaded device. Install the connecting tube 112 at the other end of the main joint 110, ensuring that the interface of the connecting tube 112 is in a horizontal position for subsequent connection of the connecting microtube 114. The connection hole 116 inside the connecting tube 112 fits tightly with the external connecting microtube 114.
[0024] Fix the air tube 113 by inserting it into the bottom of the main joint 110 so that gas can be transported through the air tube 113 to the connection point to facilitate the advancement of the microcable. Insert the connecting microtube 114 into the connection hole 116 and ensure that the external clamping block 117 of the connecting microtube 114 is engaged with the clamping groove 118 inside the connecting tube 112 to achieve a stable connection. The engagement design of the clamping block 117 and the clamping groove 118 can effectively prevent loosening caused by air pressure changes.
[0025] Set the first sealing ring 119 on the front side outside the connecting microtube 114 to ensure a preliminary sealing effect under the action of gas pressure. The second sealing ring 120 inside the connection hole 116 corresponds to the first sealing ring 119, and the two are in interference fit to further enhance the sealing performance. This design can effectively prevent gas from leaking from the connection point.
[0026] Install a limit plate 122 inside the main joint 110. The limit hole 123 of the limit plate 122 is designed to accurately position the microcable and prevent it from being unstable during the gas pushing process. Place the damping ring 124 into the limit hole 123. The rubber material of the damping ring 124 can absorb and slow down the impact force during the pushing process of the microcable, further protecting the sealing performance and stability of the connection point.
[0027] Start the gas delivery system, deliver gas into the microtube through the gas pipe 113, and push the cable inside the connecting microtube 114. At this time, the elastic design of the sealing film 121 ensures the uniform distribution of gas pressure and avoids loosening at the connection due to high pressure. Regularly check the sealing performance of the connection to ensure that the first sealing ring 119 and the second sealing ring 120 are in good condition. If it is found that the sealing rings are aged or damaged, they should be replaced in time. The engagement state of the clamping block 117 and the clamping groove 118 ensures that the connection remains stable when the gas pressure changes.
[0028] In this embodiment: By setting the first sealing ring 119 outside the connecting microtube 114 and setting the corresponding second sealing ring 120 inside the connecting hole 116, a double-sealing effect is achieved, effectively preventing gas leakage under high pressure. Through the engagement design of the clamping block 117 outside the connecting microtube 114 and the clamping groove 118 inside the connecting pipe 112, an additional mechanical locking force is provided for the connection, effectively avoiding connection loosening caused by air pressure changes, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the entire joint. Through the elastic design of the sealing film 121, the uniform distribution of gas pressure inside the joint is ensured, thereby preventing loosening or damage at the connection due to local high pressure, and further protecting the integrity and safety of the joint.
[0029] Embodiment 2. This embodiment aims to facilitate the solution of the disassembly problem when the connecting microtube 114 needs to be replaced. This embodiment is an improvement based on Embodiment 1. Specifically, please refer to Figures 1-4 , an anti-corrosion coating 137 is sprayed on the connecting pipe 112 and the main joint 110, and the anti-corrosion coating 137 is set as a polyurethane coating. The polyurethane anti-corrosion coating 137 sprayed on the connecting pipe and the main joint 110 provides additional anti-corrosion protection and enhances the durability and service life of the equipment in a harsh environment.
[0030] When the connecting microtube 114 needs to be replaced. Press the control block 134 to drive the control rod 133 to push the clamping block 117 back into the retraction groove. At this time, just pull the connecting microtube 114 to disassemble the original damaged connecting microtube 114, and then insert the new connecting microtube 114 into the connecting hole 116 of the connecting pipe 112. Since the clamping block 117 is set as a triangular block, as the connecting microtube 114 is inserted, the clamping block 117 will be retracted into the retraction groove due to the contact with the inner wall of the connecting hole 116. Then insert the connecting microtube 114 again, and the clamping block 117 moves to the clamping groove 118. Since a torsion spring 131 is provided in the retraction groove, the clamping block 117 will be driven by the torsion spring 131 to engage with the clamping groove 118, thus completing the replacement of the connecting microtube 114. At the same time, due to the setting of the spring 136 and the ability of the spring 136 to automatically recover, when the control block 134 is pressed, the control block 134 can be quickly reset.
[0031] In this embodiment: By pressing the control block 134, the control rod 133 is driven to push the clamping block 117 back into the recovery groove 130, enabling the user to easily disassemble the damaged connecting microtube 114, thus greatly simplifying the disassembly operation and reducing the complexity of manual operation. When the new connecting microtube 114 is inserted, the triangular design of the clamping block 117 causes it to automatically retract when in contact with the inner wall of the connecting hole 116 during insertion, and quickly resume and engage with the card slot 118 after insertion, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of replacement. The setting of the torsion spring 131 ensures that the clamping block 117 can quickly return to its original position and accurately engage with the card slot 118 after the replacement of the connecting microtube 114.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
