[0029] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, rather than all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present application, its application, or use.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a rotatable pipe joint, including a male head 1 and a female head 2, one end of the male head 1 and one end of the female head 2 are coaxially rotatably connected, the other ends of the male head 1 and the female head 2 are respectively connected to the hose connector on the hose, and an O-ring 4 and a C-type elastic ring 5 are provided at the connection between the male head 1 and the female head 2, and a through hole is opened inside the male head 1 and the female head 2, and the through hole is connected to the interior of the hose for passing fluid.

[0032] One end of the male connector 1 connects to the female connector 2, and the other end connects to a hose connector. The female connector 2 connects to the male connector 1 at one end, and the other end connects to a hose connector. The hose connector is located at the end of the hose. The interiors of the hoses on the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are connected via a through-hole. When one end of the hose is rotated by another device, the rotatable connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 prevents the hose from being twisted, thereby preventing the flow of the internal fluid. An O-ring 4 and a C-ring 5 are installed at the connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2. The C-ring 5 ensures that the male and female connectors do not separate during relative rotation, ensuring stability. The O-ring 4 ensures that the internal fluid of the male and female connectors is sealed and prevents leakage.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment 2 provides a rotatable pipe joint based on the embodiment 1, wherein the male head 1 includes a male tail end connected to the hose joint and a male head end connected to the female head 2, and an O-ring mounting groove 6 and a C-type elastic ring anti-slip groove 8 are provided on the outer surface of the male head end, and a C-type elastic ring guide surface 7 is provided on one side of the O-ring mounting groove 6.

[0035] The female head 2 includes a female tail end connected to the hose connector and a female head end connected to the male head 1. A C-shaped elastic ring mounting groove 14 and an O-ring guide surface 13 are provided on the inner wall of the female head end. An O-ring sealing hole 12 is provided on the side of the O-ring guide surface 13 away from the end of the female tail end.

[0036] The male head 1 and the female head 2 are provided with a through hole running axially through the center. A male connecting thread 9 is provided on the inner surface of the male tail end, and the hose connector is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the male tail end. A female connecting thread 10 is provided on the outer surface of the female tail end, and the hose connector is threadedly connected to the female end on the outer surface of the female tail end 10.

[0037] The outer surface of the male end of the male connector 1 is provided with two O-ring mounting grooves 6 arranged at intervals, one of which is close to the end of the male end. An O-ring 4 is provided in each O-ring mounting groove 6, and a C-type elastic ring guide surface 7 is provided on the side of the C-type elastic ring anti-slip groove 8 facing the end of the male end.

[0038] A C-shaped elastic ring mounting groove 14 is located on the inner wall of the female end of the female connector 2, near the female end. An O-ring guide surface 13 is located on the side of the C-shaped elastic ring mounting groove 14 away from the female end. The diameter of the O-ring hole 12 is larger than the inner diameter of the female end. After the male end of the male connector 1 is installed inside the female end, the end of the male end abuts against the end surface of the O-ring hole 12.

[0039] The O-ring installation groove 6 and the O-ring sealing hole 12 cooperate to install the O-ring 4 , and the C-type elastic ring anti-slip groove 8 and the C-type elastic ring installation groove 14 cooperate to install the C-type elastic ring 5 .

[0040] The connection between the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 is provided with an axial clearance 15 and a radial clearance 16. The axial clearance 15 is in the range of 0.2-0.3, and the radial clearance 16 is in the range of 0.1-0.2. The axial clearance 15 and the radial clearance 16 ensure the compressive strength of the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 when used together.

[0041] During installation and use, first install the two O-rings 4 in the two O-ring installation grooves 6 on the outer surface of the male head respectively, install the C-type elastic ring 5 in the C-type elastic ring anti-slip groove 8 on the inner wall of the female head, and then insert the male end of the male head into the female end of the female head 2. When the male head 1 moves a certain distance toward the female head 2, the two O-rings 4 on the male head contact the O-ring guide surface 13 on the inner surface of the female head 1, and the O-rings 4 are gradually compressed by the O-ring wire surface 13. The C-type elastic ring 5 on the inner surface of the female head contacts the C-type elastic ring guide surface 7 on the outer surface of the male head 1, and the C-type elastic ring 5 is gradually expanded by the C-type elastic ring guide surface 7. The male head 1 continues to be inserted into the direction of the female head 2, and the compressed O-ring 4 enters the O-ring hole 12 of the female head 2 together with the male head 1. The expanded C-type elastic ring 5 enters the C-type elastic ring anti-slip groove 8 on the male head and then returns to its original state. After being compressed, the O-ring 4 is further compressed by the male connector 1 and the O-ring hole 12, providing a seal. The C-ring 5, located within the C-ring anti-slip groove 8 and the C-ring mounting groove 14, prevents the male connector 1 and female connector 2 from separating. The male end of the male connector 1 is connected to the hose connector's external connecting threads via connecting threads 9 on its inner wall. The female end of the female connector 2 is connected to the hose connector's internal connecting threads via connecting threads 10 on its outer surface. The ED seal 3, located on the exterior of the female end, seals the connection between the female end and the hose connector.
