[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] See Figures 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] A ring-shaped hard-seal union includes a threaded conduit 1, a clamping conduit 2, a locking sleeve 3, and a hard-seal ring 4. An outer protruding ring 5 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of one end of the clamping conduit 2. An inner protruding ring 6, which mates with the outer protruding ring 5, is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of one end of the locking sleeve 3. The inner wall of the other end of the locking sleeve 3 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the threaded conduit 1. The hard-seal ring 4 is fixedly and sealed on the end of the threaded conduit 1, and a groove 7, which seals with the hard-seal ring 4, is provided on the end of the clamping conduit 2. Alternatively, the hard-seal ring 4 is fixedly and sealed on the end of the clamping conduit 2, and the groove 7, which seals with the hard-seal ring 4, is provided on the end of the threaded conduit 1, without contact between the end of the threaded conduit 1 and the end of the clamping conduit 2. The threaded conduit 1 and the clamping conduit 2 are detachably connected via the locking sleeve 3. The outer protruding ring 5 and the clamping conduit 2 are integrally formed, and the inner protruding ring 6 and the locking sleeve 3 are integrally formed. The threaded conduit 1 and the clamping conduit 2 are sealed together by the sealing fit between the groove 7 and the hard sealing ring 4. To ensure a better sealing effect of the hard sealing ring 4, the ends of the threaded conduit 1 and the clamping conduit 2 do not contact each other. Since only the threaded conduit 1 and the clamping conduit 2 need to be sealed together, it is feasible for the hard sealing ring 4 to be fixed to the end of either the threaded conduit 1 or the clamping conduit 2.

[0023] In some embodiments, the hard sealing ring 4 is integrally formed with the threaded conduit 1, or the hard sealing ring 4 is integrally formed with the clamping conduit 2. In order to make the connection of the hard sealing ring 4 more secure and the sealing effect better, the hard sealing ring 4 is integrally formed with the threaded conduit 1 or the clamping conduit 2 during the manufacturing process.

[0024] In some embodiments, the threaded conduit 1, the clamping conduit 2, the locking sleeve 3, and the hard sealing ring 4 are coaxially arranged. A limiting groove 8 is coaxially provided on the end of the threaded conduit 1, and a limiting end 9 that mates with the limiting groove 8 is coaxially provided on the end of the clamping conduit 2; or, a limiting groove 8 is coaxially provided on the end of the clamping conduit 2, and a limiting end 9 that mates with the limiting groove 8 is coaxially provided on the end of the threaded conduit 1, with the bottom of the limiting groove 8 not contacting the end of the limiting end 9. To facilitate the connection between the threaded conduit 1 and the clamping conduit 2 without requiring rotation of the mating angle, the threaded conduit 1, the clamping conduit 2, the locking sleeve 3, and the hard sealing ring 4 are coaxially arranged. Simultaneously, to prevent damage to the hard sealing ring 4 due to shear force between the threaded conduit 1 and the clamping conduit 2, thus ensuring a better seal, the limiting groove 8 and the limiting end 9 are provided to give this union better shear resistance.

[0025] In some embodiments, a first force-bearing ring 10 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the threaded conduit 1, and a second force-bearing ring 11 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the locking sleeve 3. Since the threaded conduit 1 and the locking sleeve 3 are connected by threads, both the first force-bearing ring 10 and the second force-bearing ring 11 are nut structures. The threaded conduit 1 and the first force-bearing ring 10 are integrally formed, and the locking sleeve 3 and the second force-bearing ring 11 are integrally formed.

[0026] In some embodiments, the groove 7 has a V-shaped cross-section, and the end section of the hard sealing ring 4 is arc-shaped and mates with the groove 7. The arc-shaped end of the hard sealing ring 4 contacts both sides of the groove 7, achieving a line seal between the arc and the sides of the groove 7. This provides a better sealing effect and prevents media leakage.

[0027] In some embodiments, the wall thickness of the hard sealing ring 4 is 1-5 mm, and the radius of the arc is 0.5-3 mm. The included angle between the two sides of the groove 7 is 60-120°, the depth of the groove 7 is 0.5-4 mm, and the width of the opening of the groove 7 is 2-6 mm. The roughness of the two sides of the groove 7 is Ra0.8-3.2, and the roughness of the outer side of the arc is Ra0.8-3.2. Specifically, when the wall thickness of the hard sealing ring 4 is 1 mm, the radius of the arc is 0.5 mm, the depth of the groove 7 is 1 mm, and the width of the opening of the groove 7 is 2 mm; when the wall thickness of the hard sealing ring 4 is 4 mm, the radius of the arc is 2.5 mm, the depth of the groove 7 is 4 mm, and the width of the opening of the groove 7 is 6 mm, etc.
