The mounting ring 54 is sleeved and fixed in the mounting groove 71.

[0040] The operating principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, eight mounting holes 13 are provided. Before use, first, a ball 11 is placed in each mounting hole 13. The diameter of the ball 11 is adapted to the aperture of the mounting hole 13 so that the ball 11 can fit and move in the mounting hole 13 but cannot slide out of the mounting hole 13; then the return spring 18 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting sleeve 1, and one end of the return spring 18 abuts against the end face of the corresponding end of the mounting boss 10. Then, the locking sleeve 12 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting sleeve 1. At this time, the other end of the return spring 18 abuts against the inner end face of the connecting boss 121. In this way, the locking sleeve 12 can be squeezed on the outside of the connecting sleeve 1 to achieve elastic movement. Then, a back-retraction spring 102 is provided in the placement groove 101, and the outer wall of the back-retraction spring 102 emerges from the notch of the placement groove 101. The protruding end of the back-retraction spring 102 abuts against the outer end face of the connecting boss 121 for limiting.

[0042] In addition, one end of the first compression spring 61 is fixedly connected to the stop ring 402, and the other end is fixedly connected to the upper valve core 2. A first sealing ring 20 is embedded in the outer wall of the upper valve core 2, and the outer wall of the first sealing ring 20 is in contact with the hole wall of the placement hole 401; at the same time, the limiting slope 403 is in contact with the transition slope 21, and the end face of the non-connection end of the upper valve core 2 is flush with the end face of the hole opening at the corresponding end of the placement hole 401.

[0043] Then, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figures 5 to 10 As shown, an upper sealing ring 63, an isolating ring 60 and a lower sealing ring 64 are sequentially placed in the step hole 15, and the outer side walls of the upper sealing ring 63 and the lower sealing ring 64 are in contact with the hole wall of the small hole end of the step hole 15. Then the sleeve 3 is placed, and the upper end face of the upper sealing ring 63 is in contact with the bottom of the step hole 15, and the lower end face of the lower sealing ring 64 is in contact with the end face of the insertion end of the sleeve 3. The isolating ring 60 is sleeved on the outer side of the lower valve core 5, and then the second compression spring 62 is placed.

[0044] Then, the mounting ring 54 is sleeved and fixed in the mounting groove 71, and the push rod 50 is placed vertically. Then, the female plug sleeve 7 is screwed to the connecting sleeve 1, and one end of the second compression spring 62 is abutted against the lower end surface of the connecting protrusion 52, and the other end is abutted against the inner side wall of the female plug sleeve 7. At this time, the push rod 50 extends into the directional hole 53 through the second compression spring 62 and the outer side wall of the second sealing ring 51 is in contact with the inner side wall of the directional hole 53. At the same time, the second positioning inclined surface 172 is in contact with the upper end surface of the connecting protrusion 52, and the outer side wall of the second sealing ring 51 is in contact with the inner side wall of the directional hole 53.

[0045] When using, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 11As shown, first turn the knob to lock the sleeve 12, and synchronously drive the locking block 17 to move from the horizontal section position of the guide groove 14 to the vertical section position, and then push the locking sleeve 12 along the axial direction of the return spring 18, that is, drive the connecting boss 121 to squeeze the return spring 18. As the locking sleeve 12 moves, the mounting hole 13 is exposed. At this time, the male plug sleeve 4 extends into the connecting sleeve 1, and the lower end surface of the limiting boss 40 first squeezes the eight balls 11 at the same time, so that each ball 11 moves outward at the same time in the corresponding mounting hole 13 and emerges from the outer opening of the corresponding mounting hole 13. The male plug sleeve 4 continues to extend, driving the lower valve core 5 to squeeze the second compression spring 62. At this time, the ejector rod 50 fixed in the female plug sleeve 7 forms a relative movement to push the upper valve core 2 upward. As the male plug sleeve 4 extends, the ejector rod 50 leaves the directional hole 53 and enters the placement hole 401, and the first compression spring 61 is squeezed. After the limiting boss 40 moves through the mounting hole 13, the locking sleeve 12 is released. Under the elastic force of the return spring 18, the locking sleeve 12 and the locking block 17 move synchronously along the vertical section of the guide groove 14 until the protruding end of the retaining spring 102 abuts against the outer end surface of the connecting boss 121 for limiting the position. During the movement, the connecting boss 121 abuts and pushes each ball 11 to move inward along the mounting hole 13 and emerge from the mounting hole 13. At the inner opening, at this time, the protruding end of the ball 11 extends into the limiting groove 42, and the upper end surface of the limiting boss 40 abuts against the lower end of the protruding end of the ball 11 to limit the position, thereby realizing the locking limit of the ball 11 on the male plug sleeve 4; finally, the locking sleeve 12 is rotated to move the locking block 17 from the vertical section position of the guide groove 14 to the horizontal section position of the guide groove 14, thereby preventing the locking sleeve 12 from moving axially due to force, thereby avoiding automatic unlocking.

[0046] At the same time, the end face of the inserted end of the male plug sleeve 4 abuts against the upper end face of the lower valve core 5, and the upper end face of the push rod 50 abuts against the lower end face of the upper valve core 2. In this way, the placement hole 401 is connected with the directional hole 53, and the medium can flow smoothly; since the lower end face of the male plug sleeve 4 always abuts against the upper end face of the lower valve core 5 during the movement, the medium will not leak out at this time.

[0047] When disassembling, first rotate the locking sleeve 12, and the locking block 17 moves along the horizontal section position to the vertical section position in the guide groove 14, then squeeze and move the locking sleeve 12, and the locking block 17 moves in the vertical section to expose the mounting hole 13 again, and pull out the male plug sleeve 4. Since the outer wall of the ball 11 is a circular curved surface, as the male plug sleeve 4 is pulled out, the upper end face of the limiting boss 40 abuts against the outer wall of the ball 11 and pushes the ball 11, and causes the ball 11 to leave the limiting groove 42 and move outward in the mounting hole to abut against the inner wall of the locking sleeve 12.

[0048] It should be noted that if Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, since the locking sleeve 12 is provided with a tapered hole with a smaller inner side and a larger outer side at the outer end position corresponding to the connecting boss 121, when the ball 11 moves outward in the mounting hole 13, on the one hand, sufficient displacement distance is left for the ball 11 to avoid interference with the movement of the male plug sleeve 4; on the other hand, the setting of the tapered hole can also catch the ball 11 that slides out, and at the same time, the inclined hole wall of the tapered hole can also prevent the ball 11 from falling out.

[0049] Then, slowly loosen the connecting sleeve 1, and under the elastic force of the second compression spring 62, push the lower valve core 5 out of the male plug sleeve 4. At the same time, the first compression spring 61 also drives the upper valve core 2 to abut against the push rod 50. As the lower valve core 5 moves upward, the second sealing ring 51 returns to the directional hole 53, and the outer wall of the second sealing ring 51 abuts against the inner wall of the directional hole 53; at the same time, the outer wall of the first sealing ring 20 abuts against the hole wall of the placement hole 401. During the whole process, the upper valve core 2 and the push rod 50 remain in abutment.

[0050] Due to the fit and limitation of the transition slope 21 and the limiting slope 403, the upper valve core 2 will not emerge from the placement hole 401, that is, the first sealing ring 20 and the second sealing ring 51 are both in a built-in sealing state, and the sealing stability is good. In this way, when the upper valve core 2 is separated from the push rod 50, no medium residue or leakage will occur.

[0051] In addition, in order to facilitate the installation of the locking block 17, an opening is provided at the upper end of the horizontal section of the guide groove 14. At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of limiting and rotation, it is appropriate to symmetrically set two guide grooves 14 and correspondingly set two locking blocks 17.

[0052] In addition, in order to prevent the medium from leaking at the position of the female plug sleeve 7, a third sealing ring 72 is embedded at the root position of the threaded section of the connecting sleeve 1. When the female plug sleeve 7 is connected and screwed to the connecting sleeve 1, the end face of the screwed end of the female plug sleeve 7 abuts against the end face of the corresponding end of the mounting boss 10, and the inner side wall of the screwed end of the female plug sleeve 7 abuts against the outer side wall of the third sealing ring 72 to ensure the sealing of the connection.
