[0041] Generally used in conjunction with fluid pipelines, it is used to switch the open and closed states of fluid flow within the pipeline. As a component connecting to external pipelines, one end of the pipeline connector is installed on the tubular body. When it is necessary to connect the pipeline connector to the tubular body, first, one end of the pipeline connector is embedded into the tubular body, so that the annular groove on the pipeline connector and the strip groove on the tubular body are at the same height. Then, one end of a flexible rib, such as an iron wire, is inserted from the strip through hole on the tubular body between the annular groove and the strip groove, and the iron wire is moved circumferentially in the area between the annular groove and the strip groove until it comes out from the strip through hole on the tubular body, thereby realizing the connection between the pipeline connector and the tubular body.

[0042] When the pipe joint is connected to the external pipe by rotation during subsequent use, the pipe joint and the tubular body can still maintain a stable connection when they rotate relative to each other.

[0043] A strip-shaped guide groove 151 is formed on the end face of the tubular body 1 near the sphere 2. One end of a movable pin 152 is embedded in the strip-shaped guide groove 151 and connected to the bottom surface of the strip-shaped guide groove 151 by a spring 16. The other end of the movable pin 152 can extend out of the end face of the tubular body 1 under the action of the spring 16. A rotating handle 4 is provided on the outside of the tubular body 1. The other end of the rotating handle 4, which is free at one end, has a protrusion 41 extending towards the tubular body 1.

A bolt 9 passes through the protrusion 41 on the rotating handle 4 in sequence and... A connecting block 8 is connected to the ball 2. A drive ring 10 is fitted on the outside of the protrusion 41. A push pin 17 is movably provided between the drive ring 10 and the movable pin 152 that can move along the axial direction of the tubular body 1. A circumferentially extending strip groove 11 is opened on the drive ring 10, which is fixedly connected to the protrusion 41 of the rotating handle 4 or the connecting block 8. The push pin 17 has a radially outward extending convex part 12 on the side surface opposite to one end of the movable pin 152. The convex part 12 is slidably embedded in the strip groove 11 extending at least a quarter circumference. The distance between the two side walls of the strip groove 11 and the rotation center of the drive ring 10 gradually changes in its extension direction.

[0044] An annular clearance groove 19 is provided on the side wall of the movable pin 152 that slides in contact with the inner wall of the strip guide groove 151. When the movable pin 152 is pushed into the strip guide groove 151 and the ball 2 rotates to a 90° position with the rotating handle 4, the end of the push pin 17 away from the drive ring 10 is embedded in the annular clearance groove 19. When the ball 2 rotates to a 0° position with the rotating handle 4, the end of the push pin 17 away from the drive ring 10 is in abutting contact with the side wall of the movable pin 152 and the end of the movable pin 152 opposite to the spring 16 extends out of the end face of the tubular body 1.

[0045] When the flow channel needs to be switched from the open state to the closed state, the rotating handle needs to be driven to rotate, causing the ball to rotate from the 90° position to the 0° position. During this process, the push pin also moves away from the movable pin shaft under the action of the strip groove on the drive ring, thus being pulled out from the strip guide groove on the movable pin shaft. At the same time, the movable pin shaft, no longer restricted by the push pin, is reset under the action of the spring, so that one end of it extends out of the end face of the tubular body and its outer wall presses against one end of the push pin to limit the rotating handle, preventing the rotating handle from rotating due to misoperation or accidental contact. The direction of the flow channel through hole on the ball at the 0° position is perpendicular to the axis of the tubular body, and the outer circumferential surface of the ball is sealed with the inner wall of the tubular body, thus closing the flow channel.

[0046] The aforementioned flexible rib 22 is made of iron wire; the outer wall of the aforementioned pipe joint 23 and the inner wall of the tubular body 1 are sealed together by at least two joint sealing rings 24 spaced apart along the axial direction; the aforementioned at least two joint sealing rings 24 are located axially between the ball 2 and the flexible rib 22.

[0047] The sphere 2, located on the side opposite to the connecting block 8, is connected to the inner wall of the tubular body 1 via a rotating shaft 7.

[0049] An annular pushing groove 20, which is connected to the annular pushing groove 19 and has a depth less than the annular pushing groove 19, is provided on the movable pin 152 and located on the side of the annular relief groove 19 near the spring 16. When the ball 2 rotates to the 0° position with the rotating handle 4, one end of the push pin 17 presses against the bottom surface of the annular pushing groove 20.

[0050] The side wall of the aforementioned annular pushing groove 20 away from the annular relief groove 19 is configured as a sloping surface that mates with the end face of the push pin 17.

[0051] The inner or outer wall of the aforementioned pipe joint 23 is provided with threads for connecting to external pipes; an outer sealing ring 251 is fitted on the outer side of the tubular body 1 opposite to one end of the pipe joint 23.

[0052] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0053] Generally used in conjunction with fluid pipelines, it is used to switch the open and closed states of fluid flow within the pipeline. As a component connecting to external pipelines, one end of the pipeline connector is installed on the tubular body. When it is necessary to connect the pipeline connector to the tubular body, first, one end of the pipeline connector is embedded into the tubular body, so that the annular groove on the pipeline connector and the strip groove on the tubular body are at the same height. Then, one end of a flexible rib, such as an iron wire, is inserted from the strip through hole on the tubular body between the annular groove and the strip groove, and the iron wire is moved circumferentially in the area between the annular groove and the strip groove until it comes out from the strip through hole on the tubular body, thereby realizing the connection between the pipeline connector and the tubular body.

[0054] When the pipe fitting is connected to the external pipe by rotation during subsequent use, the stable connection between the pipe fitting and the tubular body can still be maintained even when relative rotation occurs between them.

[0055] When the flow channel needs to be switched from the closed state to the open state, firstly, the movable pin needs to be pressed into the strip guide groove to move the movable pin axis towards the spring and squeeze the spring until the annular clearance groove on the movable pin is aligned with the push pin. Then, drive the rotating handle to rotate the ball from the 0° position to the 90° position. At the 0° position, the distance H1 between the contact position of the strip groove on the drive ring and the protrusion on the push pin and the rotation center of the drive ring is less than the distance H2 between the contact position of the strip groove on the drive ring and the protrusion on the push pin and the rotation center of the drive ring at the 90° position. During the rotation of the rotating handle, the push pin gradually moves towards the movable pin axis under the action of the strip groove on the drive ring until its end is embedded in the strip guide groove on the movable pin. At the 90° position, the direction of the flow channel through hole on the ball is parallel to the axis of the tubular body, and the internal flow channels of the tubular body located on both sides of the ball are connected through the flow channel through hole on the ball, and the flow channel is opened.

[0056] When the flow channel needs to be switched from the open state to the closed state, the rotating handle needs to be driven to rotate, causing the ball to rotate from the 90° position to the 0° position. During this process, the push pin also moves away from the movable pin shaft under the action of the strip groove on the drive ring, thus being pulled out from the strip guide groove on the movable pin shaft. At the same time, the movable pin shaft, no longer restricted by the push pin, is reset under the action of the spring, so that one end of it extends out of the end face of the tubular body and its outer wall presses against one end of the push pin to limit the rotating handle, preventing the rotating handle from rotating due to misoperation or accidental contact. The direction of the flow channel through hole on the ball at the 0° position is perpendicular to the axis of the tubular body, and the outer circumferential surface of the ball is sealed with the inner wall of the tubular body, thus closing the flow channel.

[0057] When using the aforementioned self-locking valve connector, it not only quickly opens and closes the fluid channel, but also facilitates the connection of the tubular body to external pipelines via the pipe connector. This ensures the ease of connection and stability between the pipe connector and the tubular body, preventing loosening of the connection during connection and improving reliability. Furthermore, it allows for rapid opening and closing of high-flow-rate fluid channels while maintaining stability when the fluid channel is closed, preventing abnormal opening of the flow path due to misoperation or accidental contact, ensuring safety during use, and facilitating the replacement of easily damaged parts.
