[0018] 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 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.

[0019] Embodiment: As can be seen from the attached Figure 1-5 description, the present application specifically designs a leak-proof sealing connection structure for a gas meter joint, including a fixed joint 1 provided on the gas meter body. A valve body 3 is connected between the fixed joint 1 and the gas pipeline joint 2. An extrusion sealing assembly is provided at the lower end of the valve body 3, and the extrusion sealing assembly is respectively sealed and connected to the fixed joint 1. A limit sealing assembly is provided at the upper end of the valve body 3, and the limit sealing assembly is connected to the gas pipeline joint 2; a valve body 3 is provided between the fixed joint 1 and the gas pipeline joint 2 on the gas meter body to control the opening and closing of the gas transmission channel. The lower end of the valve body 3 is assembled and connected to the fixed joint 1 through an extrusion sealing assembly. By using the cooperation of a stepped joint structure, an elastic support member, and a sealing rubber ring, multiple seals at the connection position can be achieved, effectively improving the structural strength and sealing effect at the connection position; the upper end of the valve body 3 is connected to the gas pipeline joint 2 through a limit sealing assembly, and a threaded assembly is adopted, which has a simple structure and convenient operation. In addition, double seals on both the inside and outside can be achieved, greatly improving the connection tightness between the gas pipeline joint 2 and the valve body 3

[0020] Among them, the extrusion sealing assembly includes an insertion joint 4, a fixing ring 5, an elastic support member, a sealing rubber ring 6, and a flange nut 7. The insertion joint 4 is arranged at the lower end of the valve body 3. The outer wall surface of the insertion joint 4 is a stepped structure. The fixing ring 5 is welded to the outside of the insertion joint 4. A stepped groove is provided on the inner ring surface of the fixed joint 1, and the stepped groove matches the stepped structure. The elastic support member is arranged on the step surface of the stepped structure. The sealing rubber ring 6 is arranged on the lower end surface of the elastic support member. The flange nut 7 is rotatably sleeved at the position of the fixing ring 5 and is threadedly connected to the fixed joint 1. The above-mentioned elastic support member includes a compression spring 8, a top column 9, and a support ring 10. Blind holes are evenly arranged in a circular array along the step surface of the stepped structure. The compression spring 8 is installed in the blind holes. The upper end of the top column 9 is slidably inserted into the blind holes and is connected to the compression spring 8. The support ring 10 is welded to the lower end of the top column 9. A rubber sealing ring 20 is arranged between the above-mentioned flange nut 7 and the fixing ring 5. During installation, the insertion joint 4 at the lower part of the valve body 3 is inserted into the fixed joint 1 at the upper part of the gas meter main body, and the stepped structure on the outer wall surface of the insertion joint 4 is tightly combined with the stepped groove on the inner ring surface of the fixed joint 1. Rotate the flange nut 7 to realize the assembly and fixation between the insertion joint 4 and the fixed joint 1. During the tightening process of the flange nut 7, the gap between the stepped groove and the stepped surface of the stepped structure continuously decreases. Then, the sealing rubber ring 6 between the support ring 10 and the stepped surface of the stepped groove is extruded to improve the sealing performance of the contact position. At the same time, the top column 9 at the top of the support ring 10 continuously squeezes the compression spring 8 inward. The reset elastic force of the compression spring 8 can generate a downward thrust on the support ring 10, thereby further enhancing the elastic deformation of the sealing rubber ring 6 at the joint position and improving the sealing effect.

[0021] In the specific implementation process, the above-mentioned limit sealing assembly includes a threaded joint 11, a limit ring 12, an inner gasket 13, an outer gasket 14 and a limit fastener. The threaded joint 11 is welded to the upper end of the valve body 3 and is assembled and connected with the pad nut on the gas pipeline. The limit ring 12 is welded to the outside of the threaded joint 11. The inner gasket 13 is attached to the upper end face of the threaded joint 11. The outer gasket 14 is attached to the upper end face of the limit ring 12. The limit fastener is buckled on the outside of the pad nut and the limit ring 12. The above-mentioned limit fastener includes an arc-shaped buckle plate 15, an arc-shaped limit plate 16 and a locking member. The arc-shaped buckle plate 15 is buckled on the outside of the limit ring 12 and the pad nut and one end is hinged to each other. The arc-shaped limit plate 16 is welded to the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped buckle plate 15 and is respectively in contact with the limit plate and the end face of the pad nut. The locking member is installed at the opening position of the arc-shaped buckle plate 15. The locking member includes a support 17, a fixing nut 18 and a fastening bolt 19. The support 17 is welded to the side wall of the arc-shaped buckle plate 15. The fixing nut 18 is welded to the support 17. The fastening bolt 19 passes through the support 17 and is assembled and connected with the fixing nut 18. After the valve body 3 is installed in place, the end joint of the gas pipeline is aligned with the threaded joint 11 at the top of the valve body 3. The assembly connection between the end joint of the gas pipeline and the threaded joint 11 is realized by using the pad nut. The gap between the top of the threaded joint 11 and the end joint of the gas pipeline is sealed by the inner gasket 13. The gap between the limit ring 12 and the pad nut is sealed by the outer gasket 14. The outside of the pad nut and the limit ring 12 is mechanically reinforced by the limit fastener, which can effectively improve the structural strength of the connection position and enhance the safety of gas transmission.
