• Topological phononic crystals (PnCs) with topologically protected boundary states have important applications in the fields of acoustic wave transmission and control. However, previous studies based on solid‐state PnC systems are mostly limited by fixed structures, resulting in the difficulty to deform the edge states, which partly limits its practical applications. Herein, a 2D solid topological PnC coupled with the defect is designed to achieve the adjustable valley edge state and rainbow trapping. First, by breaking the spatial inversion symmetry, the valley Hall phase transition of elastic wave is realized and valley edge states are obtained. Next, by introducing defects of different widths between the two different valleys’ topological PnCs, both the defect‐adjusted valley edge state and defect state are achieved. Then, by designing different topological PnCs waveguides, the robust transport characteristics of the two above states are compared. Subsequently, a new power divider based on the defect‐adjusted valley edge state is designed, which is found to possess various manners of operation such as equal and unequal power divisions. Finally, based on defect adjustment of the edge states, a rainbow trapping is implemented. This research provides an important guidance for ultrasonic devices, such as waveguides, energy harvesters, and power dividers. By introducing the line defects in the topological domain wall for the elastic wave, the defect‐adjusted valley edge states and defect states are presented, which further are applied to design the novel elastic ultrasonic devices, such as the equal or unequal power dividers and the rainbow trapping effects.
