A fixing sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the first end of the connector body 10. The fixing sleeve 20 is preferably made of zinc. Specifically, the fixing sleeve 20 is preferably riveted to the connector body 10. An elastic retaining ring 30, a pressure ring 40, a sealing ring 50, and an inner stop block 60 are arranged sequentially between the fixing sleeve 20 and the first step portion 11. The elastic retaining ring 30 is used to clamp the pipe inserted into the connector body 10. The pressure ring 40 is used to press the edge of the elastic retaining ring 30 to the fixing sleeve 20. The sealing ring 50 is used to seal the outer wall of the pipe inserted into the connector body 10. An unlocking sleeve 70 is axially slidably fitted on the fixing sleeve 20. Pressing the unlocking sleeve 70 can open the elastic retaining ring 30 to release the pipe. The second step portion 12 is located at the second end of the connector body 10.

[0022] In some embodiments, the one-way valve assembly 80 includes a piston 81, a sealing ring 82, and an elastic element 83. The piston 81 is placed orthogonally within the connector body 10. The sealing ring 82 is disposed on the outer periphery of the first end of the piston 81. The elastic element 83 abuts against the piston 81 and the second step portion 12, so that the piston 81 tends to seal the passage opening of the inner stop block 60. In this embodiment, when air is supplied from the first end of the connector body 10 to its second end, the medium passage can be opened; when air is supplied from the second end of the connector body 10 to its first end, the medium passage is closed by the one-way valve assembly 80.
[0023] In some embodiments, the one-way valve assembly 80 includes a piston 81, a sealing ring 82, and an elastic element 83. The piston 81 is positioned in reverse within the connector body 10. The sealing ring 82 is disposed on the outer periphery of the first end of the piston 81. The elastic element 83 abuts against the piston 81 and the inner stop block 60, so that the piston 81 tends to seal the passage opening at the second end of the connector body 10. In this embodiment, when air is supplied from the first end of the connector body 10 to its second end, the medium passage is blocked by the one-way valve assembly 80; when air is supplied from the second end of the connector body 10 to its first end, the medium passage can be opened.
[0024] In some embodiments, the piston 81 is provided with a mounting cavity with a second end opening, and the peripheral wall of the piston 81 is provided with a vent hole 811 communicating with the mounting cavity. The elastic member 83 is partially accommodated in the mounting cavity, and there are multiple vent holes 811 arranged circumferentially around the piston 81.
[0025] In some embodiments, the piston 81 includes a small section and a large section formed at the lower end of the small section. The large section slides with the inner wall of the connector body 10, making the axial movement of the piston 81 smoother. The elastic element 83 abuts against the large section, and the sealing ring 82 is installed on the small section.
[0026] In some embodiments, an O-ring 90 is provided between the outer periphery of the inner stop block 60 and the inner wall of the connector body 10.
[0027] In some embodiments, the sealing ring 50 has an inner ring groove 51 at one end adjacent to the pressure ring 40, and the pressure ring 40 has a flange 41 that is adapted to the inner ring groove 51. The flange 41 is fitted into the inner ring groove 51 to axially position the pressure ring 40 and the sealing ring 50. During installation, the sealing ring 50 and the pressure ring 40 can be fixed together first, and then the fixed sealing ring 50 and the pressure ring 40 can be installed into the connector body 10.
[0028] In some embodiments, the inner end of the unlocking sleeve 70 is radially provided with an outward protrusion 71, and the fixing sleeve 20 is provided with a limiting part 21 that cooperates with the outward protrusion 71. The limiting part 21 and the outward protrusion 71 are provided to prevent the unlocking sleeve 70 from detaching from the connector body 10.
[0029] In some embodiments, the elastic retaining ring 30 is provided with an annular skeleton 31, and retaining feet 32 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the annular skeleton 31. The pressure ring 40 is provided with space for the retaining feet 32 to open. The retaining feet 32 securely clamp the positioning tube. The material of the elastic retaining ring 30 is preferably 301 stainless steel.
[0030] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model of a one-way quick-connect pneumatic connector not only has a simple structure and excellent sealing performance, but also has a fluid working circuit control function. Specifically, through integrated design, it solves the system's requirement for accurate control of the fluid working circuit, greatly reduces the space required for components, and eliminates the need for users to connect a separate directional control component, thus greatly simplifying the piping system. It is particularly suitable for scenarios with high space requirements, improving system efficiency and safety control.
