The valve body 1 is conical in shape. An opening is provided on the valve body 1. The valve body 1 also forms a second arc end 11 around the outer periphery of the opening. The second arc end 11 matches the first arc end 21. When the connecting pipe 2 is inserted into the opening, the connection is inserted from the opening in the flow channel, so that the first arc end 21 is close to the second arc end 11, and the body of the connecting pipe 2 is located on the outside. The connecting pipe 2 connects the flow channel and the pressure relief valve 6. A sealing element for the connecting part 22 is provided inside the valve body 1.
[0020] The connecting part 22 extends into a snap-fit section, which is located outside the connecting part 22 and has a snap-fit protrusion 223 protruding in the direction of the connecting pipe 2. The valve body 1 has a locking groove that matches it. The snap-fit section includes at least three snap-fit protrusions 223.
[0021] The sealing element also includes a sealing ring 5 and a push spring 51. The valve body 1 is provided with a spring groove and the sealing ring 5 slides in the spring groove. The connection port of the spring groove is located on the second arc end 11. The push spring 51 is provided in the spring groove and drives the sealing ring 5 to move in the direction close to the connection part 22. By setting the sealing ring 5 and the push spring 51, the sealing ring 5 can be tightly attached to the first arc end 21 to ensure sealing performance. The spring setting ensures that the sealing ring 5 can always be tightly attached to the first arc end 21.

The sealing element has a sealing protrusion 43 that engages with the second sealing groove 13, and sealing sections 44 extend to both sides. When the connecting pipe 2 is inserted into the opening, the sealing element is fitted onto the connecting pipe 2 and moved to the second sealing groove 13. Then the sealing element is rotated, and the fixing element 7 pushes the sealing protrusion 43 to engage in the second sealing groove 13. The fixing element 7 also squeezes the sealing section 44 to ensure a seal and cooperates with the sealing ring 5 to provide a double seal to ensure the sealing performance of the connecting pipe 2.
[0024] The two ends of the fixing member 7 have extrusion protrusions 71; the extrusion protrusions 71 are arranged around the outer periphery of the fixing member 7 and the cross section between them and the fixing block is L-shaped.
