Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0025] A quick-release connector for metal pipe fittings includes a quick-release female connector 1 and a quick-release male connector 2. A return spring 20 is provided on the quick-release female connector 1, and a ring 3 is connected to the return spring 20. The return spring 20 can reset the ring 3, thereby adjusting the subsequent connection. A plug 4 is provided on one side of the quick-release female connector 1, and multiple balls 5 are provided on the plug 4. The ring 3 can restrict the position of the multiple balls 5 and can hold the multiple balls 5 after the ring 3 resets. An annular groove 6 adapted to the multiple balls 5 is provided on one side of the quick-release male connector 2. After snapping, the multiple balls 5 are locked inside the annular groove 6, thereby realizing the connection between the male and female connectors. An external hexagonal nut 7 is provided on the other side of the quick-release male connector 2. A first mounting base 8 is provided inside the quick-release male connector 2. A first spring 9 is connected to one side of the first mounting base 8, and a collar 10 is connected to one side of the first spring 9. A first valve is fixedly connected to one side of the first collar 10. The valve body 11 has a first valve core 12 on it. A first contact surface is provided on one side of the first valve core 12. Multiple first limiting posts 14 are provided on one side of the first collar 10 to limit the retraction of the first valve body 11. A second mounting seat 16 is provided inside the quick-release female head 1. A second spring 17 is connected to one side of the second mounting seat 16. A second collar 18 is connected to one end of the second spring 17. A second valve body 19 is connected to one side of the second collar 18. A second valve core 21 is connected to the second valve body 19. A second contact surface 22 is provided on one end of the second valve core 21. Multiple second limiting posts 23 are provided on the other side of the second collar 18 to limit the retraction of the second valve body 19. This design ensures that the effect of the valve body is not affected by the change of spring force on both sides, avoids the narrowing of the infusion channel due to the different spring forces on both sides, and improves its service life. The valve body and the valve core can move as a whole, so that they can move synchronously. The valve body is the mounting seat for the valve core.

[0026] Furthermore, a sealing ring 13 is fitted on the first valve core 12, which can improve the sealing performance of the connection between the first valve core 12 and the quick-release female head 1.

[0027] Furthermore, a second sealing ring 15 is provided on one side of 8, which can improve the sealing performance of its installation.

[0028] Furthermore, a No. 3 sealing ring 24 and a No. 4 sealing ring 25 are provided inside the quick-connect female connector 1, which can further improve the sealing performance of the quick-connect connector.

[0029] Furthermore, the first sealing ring 13 ensures the seal between the first valve core 12 and the inner wall of the quick-release female head 1; the second sealing ring 15 seals the gap between the first mounting seat 8; the third sealing ring 24 and the fourth sealing ring 25 respectively strengthen the static and dynamic seals between the second valve body 19 and the inner wall of the female head.

[0030] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the quick-release male connector 2 is inserted into the quick-release female connector 1, the connector 4 pushes the second valve core 21 to compress the second spring 17 until the first contact surface and the second contact surface 22 abut; the ball 5 slides into the annular groove 6, and the reset spring 20 pushes the ring sleeve 3 forward to lock the ball 5; when separated, the ring sleeve 3 is pulled back to release the ball 5, and the valve cores on both sides automatically reset and cut off the flow under the action of the springs (9, 17).
