One end of the movable block extends out of the movable slot, and the extended end of the movable block abuts against the upper end surface of the base. The connecting post is provided with a drive assembly for controlling the movable block to slide along the movable slot.

[0005] Preferably, the connecting post has an inner cavity, and the bottom of the inner cavity has a guide hole. The driving assembly includes a vertical rod movably connected in the guide hole. The vertical rod is divided into a guide section, a connecting section, and a pressing section, with the diameter increasing from bottom to top. The upper end face of the connecting post has a through hole for the pressing section to extend out. The bottom end of the guide section is connected to a first spring, which is in a compressed state. The division between the guide section and the connecting section is a tapered transition. The movable groove communicates with the inner cavity. The other end of the movable block abuts against the circumference of the guide section. A second spring is sleeved on the portion of the movable block located in the inner cavity. A stop block is provided on the movable block. The second spring is compressed between the stop block and the inner wall of the inner cavity.

[0006] Preferably, the extended end of the movable block has an upward slope.

[0013] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0014] Example:

[0015] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses an easy-to-install valve handwheel, comprising a handwheel body 1 and a base 2 connected in the middle of the handwheel body 1. The valve stem 3 has a connecting post 4 at its top end. The base has a mounting hole 5 that matches the connecting post 4. The base is fitted onto the connecting post 4. The connecting post 4 has a spline on its circumferential surface. The inner wall of the mounting hole 5 has a keyway that matches the spline. The connecting post 4 has multiple movable grooves 6. Movable blocks 7 are connected in the movable grooves 6. One end of the movable block 7 extends out of the movable groove 6. The extended end of the movable block 7 abuts against the upper end surface of the base. The connecting post 4 has a drive assembly for controlling the movable block 7 to slide along the movable groove 6.

[0016] The connecting post 4 has an inner cavity, and the bottom of the inner cavity has a guide hole 8. The driving assembly includes a vertical rod 9 movably connected in the guide hole 8. The vertical rod 9 is divided into a guide section 10, a connecting section 11, and a pressing section 12, with the diameter increasing from bottom to top. The upper end face of the connecting post 4 has a through hole for the pressing section 12 to extend out. The bottom end of the guide section 10 is connected to a first spring 13, which is in a compressed state. The division between the guide section 10 and the connecting section 11 is set as a tapered transition 14. The movable groove 6 communicates with the inner cavity. The other end of the movable block 7 is hemispherical and abuts against the circumference of the guide section 10. A second spring 15 is sleeved on the part of the movable block 7 located in the inner cavity. A stop block 16 is provided on the movable block 7. The second spring 15 is compressed between the stop block 16 and the inner wall of the inner cavity.

[0017] The extended end of the movable block 7 has an upward slope.

[0018] The handwheel body 1 includes a triangular plate, which is an upward-arched arc. A triangular through hole is provided in the middle of the triangular plate. The corners and sides of the triangular plate are both concave arc surfaces. A connecting part 17 for connecting to the base is provided in the middle of the inner side of the triangular plate.

[0019] The handwheel installation process is as follows: Place the handwheel to be installed on the top of the valve stem 3, press down on the vertical rod 9, and move one end of the movable block 7 from the guide section 10 to the connecting section 11. During this process, the movable block 7 retracts into the inner cavity under the elastic force of the second spring 15. Press down on the handwheel so that the movable block 7 passes through the base. After the handwheel is in place, release the vertical rod 9. The vertical rod 9 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the first spring 13. The other end of the movable block 7 abuts against the guide section 10 again. The movable block 7 extends outward and blocks the upper end face of the base, thereby fixing the handwheel to the valve stem 3.

[0020] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
