Quick-connector valve for liquid cooling

A quick-connector for selectively allowing fluid flow, the quick-connector comprising:

• a first body portion defining a first fluid channel;
• a second body portion defining a second fluid channel, the second body portion being configured to be coupled to the first body portion such that the first fluid channel is aligned with the second fluid channel, forming a fluid channel extending through the quick-connector;
• a first ball valve positioned in the first fluid channel;
• a second ball valve positioned in the second fluid channel;
• a first rack gear formed on a surface of the first body portion and a second rack gear formed on a surface of the second body portion;
• a first pinion gear coupled to the first ball valve via a first gear shaft and a second pinion gear coupled to the second ball valve via a second gear shaft;
• wherein movement of the first body portion and the second body portion relative to each other causes the first ball valve and the second ball valve to each move between a flow position and a sealed position, the first ball valve and the second ball valve in the flow position allowing fluid to flow through the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel, the first ball valve and the second ball valve in the sealed position preventing fluid from flowing through the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel.
