Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve technology, specifically a three-way ball valve. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology, intelligent agriculture has become a trend. Agricultural irrigation is a crucial activity in agricultural production, and intelligent equipment is urgently needed to reduce the burden on farmers and improve agricultural production efficiency. Current agricultural irrigation valves generally consist of one inlet connector and multiple outlet connectors. These connectors are typically threaded to the valve body, while the other end is connected to the outlet post and hose using adhesive or threaded connections. Due to the unstable irrigation water pressure and the complex and variable operating environment and weather conditions in agricultural production, irrigation valves using this connection method are prone to leakage, have severely insufficient reliability, and require cumbersome and inefficient disassembly.
[0003] For example, the ball valve structures disclosed in patents CN219712658U and CN210687102U have problems such as multiple threaded connections in the pressure-bearing parts, insufficient reliability, and a high risk of leakage after long-term use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a three-way ball valve to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A three-way ball valve includes a valve body and a valve core disposed in the valve body. The valve body has a first outlet and a second outlet respectively disposed at both ends along its axial direction. The valve body has an inlet disposed at one end along its radial direction. A first outlet connector is fixedly disposed at the first outlet. A connecting end is disposed on the outside of the second outlet, and the connecting end is detachably connected to the second outlet connector.
[0006] Furthermore, the connecting end is threadedly connected to the second water outlet connector.
[0007] Furthermore, a locking element is provided between the second water outlet connector and the connecting end.
[0008] Furthermore, a first sealing gasket is provided between the first water outlet connector and the valve core, and a second sealing gasket is provided between the second water outlet connector and the valve core.
[0009] Furthermore, a male inlet connector is fixedly connected to the water inlet, and a female inlet connector is detachably sleeved on the male inlet connector for connecting to an external water source.
[0010] Furthermore, the lower part of the water inlet male connector is provided with a plurality of first claws protruding along its circumferential direction. The first claws gradually rise along the axial direction of the water inlet male connector and form a limiting end at the end. The upper part of the inlet connector is provided with a plurality of second claws protruding along its circumference. The first claw and the second claws are screwed together. The limiting section is used to restrict the continued movement of the second claws.
[0011] Furthermore, an adhesive seat is provided inside the female inlet connector, and a third sealing gasket is provided at the upper end of the adhesive seat, the third sealing gasket abutting against the male inlet connector.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Example 1 like Figures 1-3 As shown, the three-way ball valve in this embodiment includes a valve body 4 and a valve core 6 disposed within the valve body 4. The valve body 4 has a first outlet 2 and a second outlet 7 respectively disposed at both ends along its axial direction. The valve body 4 has an inlet 11 disposed at one end along its radial direction. The first outlet 2 is fixedly connected to the first outlet connector 1. The second outlet 7 and the inlet 11 form a connection end for the second outlet connector 10 to be detachably connected. The connection end is located outside the second outlet 7. A valve stem 5 is connected to the valve core 6. By rotating the valve stem 5, the connection between the inlet 11 and the first outlet 2 and the second outlet 7, as well as the water flow rate, can be controlled.
[0018] Here, the connecting end is threadedly connected to the second water outlet connector 10, that is, the second water outlet 7 and the water inlet 11 form a ring structure as the connecting end, with an internal thread on the inner wall and an external thread on the second water outlet connector 10, thus forming a threaded connection. In order to improve the connection stability, a locking element 9 is provided between the second water outlet connector 10 and the connecting end. The locking element 9 can be a bolt, which is screwed and fixed at the end face positions of the second water outlet 7 and the water inlet 11.
[0019] Meanwhile, a first sealing gasket 3 is provided between the first water outlet connector 1 and the valve core 6, and a second sealing gasket 8 is provided between the second water outlet connector 10 and the valve core 6 to improve the sealing performance.
[0020] In addition, a male inlet connector 13 is fixedly connected to the water inlet 11, and a female inlet connector 14 is detachably sleeved on the male inlet connector 13, which is used to connect to an external water source.
[0021] The male inlet connector 13 has multiple first claws 131 protruding from its lower circumference. These first claws 131 gradually rise along the axial direction of the male inlet connector 13, forming a limiting end 132 at their ends. The female inlet connector 14 has multiple second claws 141 protruding from its upper circumference. The first claws 131 and second claws 141 are screwed together, and the limiting end restricts the further movement of the second claws 141. Thus, the male inlet connector 13 and the female inlet connector 14 can be quickly connected and disconnected by inserting and rotating at small angles.
[0022] Correspondingly, an adhesive seat 142 is provided inside the female inlet connector 14, and a third sealing gasket 12 is provided at the upper end of the adhesive seat 142. The third sealing gasket 12 abuts against the male inlet connector 13 to achieve a seal.
[0023] When connecting to an external water source, such as a water outlet, first use glue to attach the adhesive base 142 to the water outlet, and place the third sealing gasket 12 on the adhesive base 142. Then insert the male inlet connector 13 into the female inlet connector 14, and rotate the valve body 4 clockwise to make the first claw 131 and the second claw 141 engage with each other until the limiting end 132 contacts the second claw 141 to complete the installation. When disassembling, rotate the valve body 4 in the opposite direction until the male inlet connector 13 can be pulled out of the female inlet connector 14 to complete the disassembly.
[0024] Example 2 In this embodiment, the first water outlet connector 1 can be threaded to the first water outlet 2, with a fourth sealing gasket 15 in between; the second water outlet connector 10 can be externally connected to a third water outlet connector 17, also threaded, with a fifth sealing gasket 16 in between. This structure allows for adaptation to water hoses of different pipe diameters without replacing the valve body 4, simplifying the water hose replacement process and saving costs.
[0025] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
