The valve body outlet 212 comprises a valve body outlet flange portion 213 and an inner concave portion 214, and the valve body outlet flange portion 213 is sleeved with a ring-shaped elastic member 213A. The ring-shaped elastic member 213A is a metal spring. The inner concave portion 214 contains a valve body outlet gasket 214A, and the rear side of the valve body outlet gasket 214A is concave and provided with a through-hole. The valve body outlet gasket 214A is elastically resisted by the ring-shaped elastic member 213A, and its valve body core 21 is accommodated in the valve housing body 11 of the valve housing 10. Inside the inner cavity 12, the valve body control shaft 22 is combined and fixed with the control pivot 14 provided on the valve housing body 11, and the valve body outlet 212 of the valve body core 21 is opposite to the valve housing outlet 13 provided on the valve housing body 11, and the valve body outlet flange portion 213 comprises a ring-shaped elastic member 213A, which biases the valve body outlet gasket 214A to abut to the inner wall of the inner cavity 12, and is in a fluid-tight conduction state at the opposite side of the valve housing outlet 13.

(22) The inlet connector 30 comprises a valve body seat 31 and an inlet connector conduit 32. In some embodiments, the valve body seat 31 and the inlet connector conduit 32 communicate with each other, and the rear side of the valve body seat 31 comprises a lateral groove hole 310 comprising a positioning hole 311 on the front side of the valve body seat 31 opposite to the lateral groove hole 310. A U-shaped fixing pin 310A is inserted into the lateral groove hole 310. The valve body seat 31 is fitted on the bottom side of the valve housing body 11, and the lateral groove hole 310 of the valve body seat 31 is opposite to the side locking groove 110 provided on the outside of the valve housing body 11. The U-shaped fixing pin 310A is used to secure the valve housing 10 to the inlet connector 30.

(23) Reference is next made to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 7. As can be seen, the embodiments are shown are the three-dimensional combined partial sectional state, three-dimensional exploded state, side partial sectional state, three-dimensional exploded, and enlarged state of the valve housing 10. The three-dimensional exploded and enlarged state of the valve body 20 of an embodiment of the multi-outlet valve 1000. Some embodiments are shown in top view partial cross-section valve body outlet 212 control actuation state and in top partial cross-section. The inlet connector 30 is relatively inserted into the valve housing 10 with a U-shaped fixing pin 310A that can be U-shaped. The reference diagrams for the actuation state of the valve body 20. The valve body core 21 is accommodated in the inner cavity 12 provided in the valve housing body 11 of the valve housing 10. The valve body control shaft 22 is coupled to the control pivot 14 provided in the valve housing body 11. The valve body outlet 212 of the valve body core 21 is opposite to the valve housing outlet 13 provided on the valve housing body 11, and the valve body outlet flange portion 213 of the valve body outlet 212 comprises a ring-shaped elastic member 213A. When the fluid pressure is 30 psi (2.068e+05 newtons/square meter)200 psi (1.379e+06 newtons/square meter), the ring-shaped elastic member 213A pushes against the valve body outlet gasket 214A in close contact with the inner wall of the inner cavity 12 provided in the valve housing body 11. The opposite valve housing outlet 13 is in a fluid-tight and conductive state, providing the valve body outlet gasket 214A with a stable auxiliary pushing force so that the frictional force of the valve body outlet gasket 214A relative to the inner wall of the inner cavity 12 under the action of fluid pressure can be reduced. Further, the valve body control shaft 22 of the valve body 20 is not affected by the fluid pressure when it rotates, and the valve body seat 31 fits on the bottom side of the valve housing body 11.

With the cooperation of the valve housing 10, the valve body 20, and the inlet connector 30, the valve body 20 can be reached relative to the valve housing 10. The fluid-tight and anti-leakage effect of the valve housing 10 and the cooperation of the valve housing 10 and the inlet connector 30 can prevent the inlet connector 30 from twisting relative to the inlet connector conduit 32 when connecting an inlet pipe, which affects the use of the inlet connector conduit 32 longevity, in order to achieve the effect of structural functionality and structural stability.

(24) Reference is next made to FIG. 5, which is a reference view of the three-dimensional exploded enlarged state of the valve body 20 of an embodiment of the multi-outlet valve 1000. When accommodated in the inner cavity 12, the setting of the notch 215 decreases the outer surface of the valve body core 21 relative to the inner cavity 12 of the valve housing body 11 provided on the valve housing 10. Reducing the contact area of the surface effectively reduces the frictional force of mutual rotation, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the valve body core 21 relative to the valve housing body 11, further increasing the multiple variabilities of the present invention.

(25) Reference is made to FIG. 7, which is a top view partial cross-section inlet connector of an embodiment of the multi-outlet valve 1000 with a U-shaped fixing pin 310A for relative insertion and positioning.

When the U-shaped fixing pin 310A is inserted into the lateral groove hole 310, the inside indent 310C can make insertion the U-shaped fixing pin 310A simple. To the positioning hole 311, the rounded positioning protrusion 310B can be relatively stable and easily clamped and fixed to the edge of the rounded positioning hole outer wall 311A, which increases the stability and tightness of the connection between the structures. Thus, increasing the multiple variabilities of the multi-outlet valve 1000.

(26) Reference is made to FIGS. 2 to 5, which are the three-dimensional exploded state of an embodiment of the multi-outlet valve 1000. The partial sectional state of the side view, the three-dimensional exploded enlarged state of the valve housing 10, and the three-dimensional exploded enlarged state of the valve body 20, as shown.

The valve housing outlet 13 and the valve body outlet flange portion 213 of the valve body outlet 212 are provided with a ring-shaped elastic member 213A. When the fluid pressure is between 30 psi (2.068e+05 newtons/square meter) and 200 psi (1.379e+06 newtons/square meter), the ring-shaped elastic member 213A pushes against the valve body outlet gasket 214A and closely adheres to it. The inner wall of the inner cavity 12 is set in the valve housing body 11. The opposite side valve housing outlet 13 is in a fluid-tight and conductive state, providing a stable auxiliary thrust of the valve body outlet gasket 214A, and reducing the valve body outlet gasket 214A under the action of fluid pressure. The friction force of the valve body outlet gasket 214A relative to the inner wall of the inner cavity 12 provided in the valve housing body 11 makes the valve body control shaft 22 of the valve body 20 rotate without being affected by the fluid pressure, achieving a variety of multiple outlet options.
