[0026] The joint B pipe 2 is provided with an abutting along 21 on the outer pipe wall close to the insertion pipe mouth, and the abutting along 21 is provided with annularly distributed ball clamping grooves 21a.

[0027] It should be noted that: when the joint A pipe 1 and the joint B pipe 2 are docked, the fireman holds the joint A pipe 1 in the click hole with one hand, holds the pressure ball sleeve ring 4 with the other hand and slides the pressure ball sleeve ring 4 backward to make the pressure ball sleeve ring 4 completely compress the spring 5A (at this time, the inner pressure ring 41 is no longer in contact with the corresponding ball falling cavity 1a), then holds the joint B pipe 2 with the other hand, inserts the inserted pipe orifice of the joint B pipe 2 into the sleeving pipe orifice of the joint A pipe 1, and then makes the steel ball 3 completely abut on the bottom of the ball falling cavity 1a through the abutting along 21 until the inserted pipe orifice of the joint B pipe 2 abuts on the inner along ring 11, at this time, the ball clamping groove 21a and the ball falling cavity 1a correspond to each other, so that the bottom of the steel ball 3 falls into the ball falling cavity 1a, then the pressure ball sleeve ring 4 is released, so that the pressure ball sleeve ring 4 is quickly reset under the action of the spring 5A, and the inner pressure ring 41 is quickly lowered to the ball falling cavity 1a, and at the same time, the inner pressure ring 41 stops above the ball falling cavity 1a, so as to realize the locking of the steel ball 3, so that the fireman can quickly realize the docking of the joint A pipe 1 and the joint B pipe 2 without the need for multiple people to cooperate, greatly reducing the demand for manpower, and adapting to the emergency rescue scene of the fire scene.

[0028] When disassembling, the fireman holds the pressure ball sleeve ring 4 with one hand and holds the joint A pipe 1 in the click hole, then slides the pressure ball sleeve ring 4 backward to make the pressure ball sleeve ring 4 completely compress the spring 5A, at this time, the inner pressure ring 41 no longer locks the steel ball 3, so that the joint B pipe 2 can be pulled out to complete the disassembly work (when the joint B pipe 2 is pulled out, the steel ball 3 is completely abutted in the ball falling cavity 1a through the abutting along 21, so that the restriction of the steel ball 3 on the ball clamping groove 21a is released).

[0029] In this embodiment, the inner pressure ring 41 is provided with a bevel transition arc surface near the ring surface of the sleeving pipe orifice of the joint A pipe 1, so as to facilitate the inner pressure ring 41 to lower the steel ball 3 into the ball falling cavity 1a.

[0030] The outer cavity orifice diameter of the ball falling cavity 1a is the same as the ball diameter of the steel ball 3, so that the bottom of the steel ball 3 can be completely inserted into the ball falling cavity 1a, and the inner cavity orifice diameter of the ball falling cavity 1a is three-fourths of the ball diameter of the steel ball 3, so that the steel ball 3 can be clamped into the ball clamping groove 21a without being completely inserted into the joint A pipe 1 from the ball clamping groove 21a.

[0031] In addition, the lip extending radially is arranged on the annular surface of the ball pressing sleeve 4 close to the pipe joint of the pipe 1, and the lip does not exceed the ball falling cavity 1a when the ball pressing sleeve 4 is in the maximum rear sliding position, so that the risk of the steel ball 3 sliding out of the ball falling cavity 1a is avoided.
