Description

[0002] The applicant previously proposed a sealing connection tube for a vacuum helium leak detection device in application CN216715518U. The technical solution is as follows: the spherical tooling head tube has a backtooth. The small flexible tube is inserted along the backtooth of the spherical tooling head tube until the backtooth is embedded in the small flexible tube to form a seal and is not easy to fall off. One end of the clamping tube multi-port tube has a backtooth. The large flexible tube is inserted into the backtooth of the clamping tube multi-port tube. The other ends of the connected small flexible tube and large flexible tube are inserted into the backtooth of the tooling connector and the clamping tube in the same way to achieve fixation.
[0003] The disadvantages of the above solution are:
[0004] a. Both the large and small hoses are fixed using a reverse thread structure, which may lead to connection failure when filled with high-pressure gas.
