A torsion spring is provided on the connecting shaft, so that when the pressing block is not pressed, the locking block can be aligned with the toothed groove.
[0030] The sealing ring mechanism 4 includes a sealing ring body 5. One end of the outer wall of the sealing ring body 5 protrudes outward to form a first convex ring 6, and the other end of the outer wall of the sealing ring body 5 protrudes outward to form a second convex ring 7. The outer wall of the second convex ring 7 is provided with a limiting part, which includes a horizontally arranged first ring body 8 and a vertically arranged second ring body 9. The first ring body 8 and the second ring body 9 are intersecting. The inner wall of the second ring body 9 is integrally connected to the outer wall of the second convex ring 7. The first convex ring 6, the first ring body 8, and the second ring body 9 are all connected to the connecting seat 3. In this embodiment, the first ring body 8 and the second ring body 9 are integrally connected, the second ring body 9 and the second convex ring 7 are integrally connected, the second convex ring 7 and the sealing ring body 5 are integrally connected, and the first convex ring 6 and the sealing ring body 5 are integrally connected. In use, the first ring body 8 and the second ring body 9 are set inside the side wall of the connecting seat 3, and the first convex ring 6 is also set inside the side wall of the connecting seat 3. This can stably connect the sealing ring body 5 and prevent the sealing ring 18 from detaching or shifting in axial position due to repeated contact of the sealing ring 18 by the external water pipe.
[0031] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the connecting seat 3 includes a base 10 and a connecting cylinder 11 connected to one end of the base 10, and the base 10 is connected to the valve body 1.

[0032] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes an elastic support piece 12. A first annular groove 13 is formed inside the first ring body 8, and the elastic support piece 12 is disposed within the first annular groove 13. The elastic support piece 12, disposed inside the first ring body 8, increases the support strength of the first ring body 8 and prevents the first ring body 8 from detaching from the first annular groove 13 and the second annular groove 14. It possesses excellent resistance to aging, heat, ozone, weathering, water vapor, and acids and alkalis, and has a wide range of applications, suitable for various fields.
[0033] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a second annular groove 14 is provided at one end of the base 10, a third annular groove 15 is provided at one end of the connecting cylinder 11, and a fourth annular groove 16 is provided on the side of the third annular groove 15 near the base 10. A first ring body 8 is disposed within the second annular groove 14 and the third annular groove 15, and a second ring body 9 is disposed within the fourth annular groove 16. The outer wall of the sealing ring body 5 contacts the inner walls of the base 10 and the connecting cylinder 11. See also Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first ring body 8 can be injection molded in the second annular groove 14 and the third annular groove 15, while the second ring body 9 can be injection molded in the fourth annular groove 16. With this arrangement, the sealing ring body 5 can be prevented from falling off, and the sealing ring body 5 can be made more stable after installation.
[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, an "L"-shaped fixing part 17 is provided on the inner wall of the other end of the base 10. A slot is provided on the side of the fixing part 17 near the sealing ring body 5. The other end of the sealing ring body 5 is inserted into the slot. This can prevent the fluid in the valve body 1 from directly scouring the end of the sealing ring body 5, thereby protecting the sealing ring body 5 and reducing wear on the sealing ring body 5.
[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the sealing ring body 5 is made of nitrile rubber, which is suitable for use with water, oil, waste liquid, etc., and has the characteristics of oil resistance, heat resistance, and wear resistance. Of course, the sealing ring body 5 can also be made of EPDM rubber, which has excellent aging resistance, heat resistance, ozone resistance, weather resistance, water vapor resistance, and acid and alkali resistance, and has a wide range of applications, making it suitable for various fields.
[0036] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a sealing ring 18 is also included. The sealing ring 18 is disposed between the base 10 and the valve body 1, and one side of the sealing ring 18 has a cross-section in the shape of a cross. For details on the structure of the sealing ring 18, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 As shown, it is mainly used for sealing between the base 10 and the valve body 1.
[0037] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a fifth annular groove 19 is formed on the outer wall of the outlet end of the valve body 1, and a sixth annular groove 20 is formed on the other end of the base 10. The second sealing ring mechanism 4 is disposed in the fifth annular groove 19 and the sixth annular groove 20. The sealing ring 18 can be injection molded in the fifth annular groove 19 and the sixth annular groove 20.
[0038] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 As shown, a clamping structure 21 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 11. The clamping structure 21 is an existing structure and will not be limited here.
[0039] In use, the valve body 1 is installed in the designated position with bolts. Then, one end of the external water pipe is inserted into the other end of the connecting cylinder 11. Since the first protruding ring 6 at one end of the sealing ring body 5 is fixed inside the side wall of the connecting cylinder 11, the water pipe will not push the sealing ring body 5 to move axially when it touches the sealing ring body 5, nor will it cause the sealing ring body 5 to fall off. The water pipe can easily enter the sealing ring body 5 until the end of the water pipe abuts against the fixing part 17. At this time, the water pipe is installed in place. Then, the clamp structure 21 on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 11 is tightened so that the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 11 can squeeze the sealing ring body 5, so that the sealing ring body 5 can make tight contact with the outer wall of the water pipe to achieve a sealing effect and prevent fluid leakage.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
