Therefore, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly defined.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a liquid inlet valve for a polyurethane foam sealant, comprising a valve body 1, wherein the valve body 1 is provided with a liquid inlet channel 1a and a liquid outlet channel 1b arranged in an offset manner, wherein the liquid inlet channel 1a can be connected with the liquid outlet channel 1b to form a liquid passage, and a pullable sealing valve stem device capable of opening or closing the liquid passage is installed in the middle of the valve body 1.

[0030] Specifically, the valve body 1 of this embodiment is provided with a mounting portion 1c, and a connecting hole 1d is provided in the mounting portion 1c, which is connected with the liquid inlet channel 1a and the liquid outlet channel 1b, and the pullable sealing valve stem device is horizontally arranged at the connecting hole 1d.

[0031] The pull-seal valve stem device described in this embodiment includes a pull-seal valve stem 2, which is laterally movable and mounted within a communication hole 1d. A valve stem seal 3 is disposed between the outer end of the pull-seal valve stem 2 and the communication hole 1d, and an elastic member 4 is disposed between the valve stem seal 3 and the inner end of the pull-seal valve stem 2. The elastic member 4 may be a spring. The inner end of the pull-seal valve stem 2 has a tapered switch portion 2c that can open or close the fluid passage. The outer end of the pull-seal valve stem 2 protrudes from the mounting portion 1c and has a pull portion 2a. The pull portion 2a may have a concave or corrugated structure to facilitate manual operation.

[0032] During use, the tapered switch portion 2c of the pullable sealing valve stem 2, under the elastic force of the elastic member 4, presses against the inner surface of the liquid inlet channel 1a, forming an initial seal. When the polyurethane foam bottle is installed on the liquid inlet valve, the internal pressure of the foam bottle pushes the pullable sealing valve stem 2 open, allowing the foam to flow further toward the offset liquid outlet channel 1b and into the spray gun. When the foam is exhausted and the polyurethane foam bottle is removed from the liquid inlet valve, the offset arrangement of the liquid inlet channel 1a prevents the foam in the liquid inlet valve from directly spraying back, thereby preventing accidental injury to the user.

[0033] After use, the pushable sealing valve stem 2 can press against the inner side surface of the liquid inlet channel under the elastic force of the elastic member 4 to achieve complete locking and sealing.

[0034] When the residual foaming agent on the outside of the liquid inlet channel solidifies, the liquid inlet valve inlet can be reopened by pulling the pullable sealing valve stem 2 outward through the pulling portion 2a of the pullable sealing valve stem 2, so that the spray gun can be reused.

[0035] The utility model disposes a pullable sealing valve stem device transversely in the middle part of the liquid inlet valve, and realizes the purpose of opening or closing the foam agent inlet by moving the transverse pullable sealing valve stem. At the same time, even if the residual foam agent is completely solidified and sticks, the sealing valve stem can be pulled by external force to reopen the foam agent inlet, which effectively solves the problem of sticking after the foam agent is solidified.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a sealing ring 2'b is provided between the conical switch portion 2'c and the communicating hole 1d to prevent the foaming agent from entering the gap of the elastic member 4 and reduce the reset resistance of the elastic member 4.

[0038] The remaining structures and functions are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that an opening adjustment sleeve 5 is threaded onto the outer ring of the mounting portion 1c, which adjusts the opening of the pull-seal valve stem 2'. The pull-seal valve stem 2' is inserted into the opening adjustment sleeve 5. An elastic circlip 6 is provided on the side of the pull-seal valve stem 2' near the pulling portion 2'a. The elastic circlip 6 is located inside the opening adjustment sleeve 5. The surface of the pull-seal valve stem 2' exposed outside the opening adjustment sleeve 5 is provided with a scale or color-coded area to indicate the opening of the pull-seal valve stem 2'.

[0041] After use, the opening adjustment sleeve 5 is adjusted inwards, and the tapered switch portion 2'c of the movable sealing valve stem 2' is pressed tightly against the inner side of the liquid inlet channel 1a through the elastic circlip 6 to achieve complete locking and sealing.

[0042] When residual foaming agent solidifies on the outer side of the liquid inlet channel 1a, the opening adjustment sleeve 5 is adjusted outward to a state where the pullable sealing valve stem 2' can be opened at any time. The pullable sealing valve stem 2' can be pulled outward through the pulling portion 2'a of the pullable sealing valve stem 2' to reopen the liquid inlet valve inlet, so that the spray gun can be reused.

[0043] The remaining structures and functions are the same as those in the second embodiment.

[0044] Example 4

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a spray gun, including a gun body 7 with a handle, a sealing device 8, a trigger 9, a barrel 10, a gun nozzle 11, a ejector device 12, and an ejector opening adjustment and locking device 13. The barrel 10 and the gun nozzle 11 are sequentially mounted on the front end of the gun body 7, and the trigger 9 is hinged to the middle of the gun body 7. The ejector device 12 is press-fitted into the gun body 7, the trigger 9 and the barrel 10 through the ejector opening adjustment and locking device 13, and is linked by the trigger 9; the gun body 7 is equipped with a liquid inlet valve for the polyurethane foam sealant described in Example 1, 2 or 3.

[0046] The spray gun of the utility model is provided with a pullable sealing valve stem device horizontally in the middle of the liquid inlet valve, and the foam agent inlet is opened or closed by the movement of the horizontally placed pullable sealing valve stem. At the same time, even if the residual foam agent is completely solidified and causes adhesion, the sealing valve stem can be pulled by external force to reopen the foam agent inlet, which effectively solves the adhesion problem after the foam agent is solidified.
