When the joint body 1 is connected to the connecting tube 2 6 for use, the connecting tube 2 6 and the flange plate 8 fixed on the connecting ring 5 are fixed by a group of bolts 9 to ensure tightness during use.

[0023] The surface of the connecting ring 5 is fixedly connected with a flange 8, and the surface of the flange 8 is movably sleeved with a group of bolts 9. The flange 8 and the connecting pipe 2 6 are fixed by a group of bolts 9. The surfaces of the two movable blocks 13 are fixedly connected with springs 14. The two springs 14 are fixedly connected with the two limit grooves 10 respectively. A movable tube 4 is fixed on the right side of the connecting ring 5. The movable tube 4 is movably connected to the fixed tube 2 through the two limit blocks 7 fixed thereon. The movable tube 4 is squeezed inwardly through the connecting pipe 2 6 to the bottom end. During the inward squeezing process of the movable tube 4, the two limit blocks 7 will push the two movable blocks 13 to move together, compressing the two springs 14. The two movable The movable block 13 will now be completely engaged in the two limit grooves 10. At this time, the connecting tube 2 6 is rotated counterclockwise to drive the movable tube 4 fixed thereto to rotate together. After rotating to the top, the two movable blocks 13 are pushed to reset by the elastic force of the two springs 14. During the resetting process, the two movable blocks 13 will push the two limit blocks 7 to be engaged in the two clamping grooves 2 15 for limiting. The pressure generated by the two springs 14 can continuously make the movable tube 4 and the fixed tube 2 tightly fit and sealed. In this way, even if they are subjected to external collisions and impacts, pressure can be continuously applied to ensure stability, thereby effectively avoiding loosening and leakage at the joints.

[0024] Two limit blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable tube 4, and the two limit blocks 7 are movably engaged with the two card slots 11 respectively.

The movable tube 4 fits tightly with the fixed tube 2, so that the two card slots 11 and the two card slots 2 15 are in a confined space. Inert gas can be injected into the two card slots 11 and the two card slots 2 15 through two air valves 16 to isolate the temperature. At the same time, the inert gas can flow into the two limit slots 10, thereby protecting the two springs 14 from affecting the service life due to ultra-low temperature.

[0025] Working principle:

[0026] When the joint body 1 is connected to the connecting pipe 2 6 for use, the connecting pipe 2 6 is fixed to the flange 8 fixed on the connecting ring 5 by a set of bolts 9 to ensure tightness during use. A movable pipe 4 is fixed on the right side of the connecting ring 5. The movable pipe 4 is movably connected to the fixed pipe 2 through the two limit blocks 7 fixed thereon. The movable pipe 4 is squeezed inwardly by the connecting pipe 2 6 until the bottom end. During the inward squeezing process of the movable pipe 4, the two limit blocks 7 will push the two movable blocks 13 to move together, compressing the two springs 14. The two movable blocks 13 will now be completely connected to the two limit grooves 10. At this time, the connecting pipe 2 6 is rotated counterclockwise to drive the movable pipe 4 fixed thereto to rotate together. After rotating to the top, the two movable blocks 13 are pushed to reset by the elastic force of the two springs 14. The two movable blocks 13 are reset during the resetting process. During the process, the two limit blocks 7 will be pushed to be clamped in the two card slots 15 for limiting. The pressure generated by the two springs 14 can continuously make the movable tube 4 and the fixed tube 2 tightly fit and sealed. In this way, even if they are subjected to external collisions and impacts, pressure can be continuously applied to ensure stability, thereby effectively avoiding loosening and leakage at the joint. The movable tube 4 is entirely passed through the fixed tube 2 and extends into the joint body 1. The movable tube 4 fits tightly with the fixed tube 2, so that the two card slots 11 and the two card slots 2 15 are in a closed space. Inert gas can be injected into the two card slots 11 and the two card slots 2 15 through the two air valves 16 to isolate the temperature. At the same time, the inert gas can flow into the two limit grooves 10, thereby protecting the two springs 14 from affecting the service life due to ultra-low temperature.
