Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a water pipe docking device, in particular to a water pipe docking device which is anti-falling and easy to assemble and disassemble. Background Art

[0002] Electricity has gradually become the most important secondary energy source. In the information age, the continuous emergence of new technologies has made electricity a necessity for people. Electrical equipment operating in humid environments for extended periods of time is prone to condensation and dripping, which can lead to rust and mold, and even safety accidents.

[0003] As power electronics cooling technology matures with the booming semiconductor industry, dehumidifiers utilizing this technology have become a common active dehumidification method for electrical cabinets. These dehumidifiers create localized condensation conditions to lower the relative humidity within the cabinet, actively guiding condensation and draining any condensed water. When in use, the dehumidifier drains moisture out of the cabinet through a drain pipe that fits over the dehumidifier's water collection pipe. However, dehumidifiers are typically wall-mounted, with the drain and collection pipes arranged vertically. Due to aging and gravity, the drain pipe can easily become detached, causing water to fall directly into the cabinet, potentially causing safety hazards.

[0004] The existing technology also provides a solution. Chinese patent CN201920521092.6 proposes a dehumidification device for a power distribution cabinet, including a dehumidifier body, a water outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the dehumidifier body, clamping blocks are symmetrically provided on both sides of the water outlet pipe, and the two clamping blocks are fixedly connected to the outer wall on the side away from each other, and the two fixing rods are provided with a first circular groove at one end away from each other, and the first fixing blocks are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the dehumidifier body, and the guide slide is fixedly connected to the outer wall on the side where the two first fixing blocks are close to each other. The utility model is highly practical. By providing a fixing mechanism adapted to the water outlet pipe at the bottom of the dehumidifier body, the water pipe used in conjunction with the dehumidifier body can be reliably fixed, which can effectively prevent the water pipe from falling off, and the operation is simple.

[0005] However, the patent has a complex structure, high cost, and is not easy to disassemble. In addition, the device clamps the water outlet pipe through springs and anti-slip pads, and there is still a risk of the water outlet pipe detaching when encountering a large external force. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a water pipe docking device that is anti-falling and easy to disassemble and assemble, with a simple and stable structure, simple operation, and easy disassembly and assembly.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

The water pipe docking device of claim 17, wherein the first and second pipes are connected by a female connector and a male connector, the female connector comprising a sleeve, one end of the sleeve being connected to the first pipe, the other end of the sleeve being provided with a plurality of clips, the plurality of clips being circumferentially spaced apart around a central axis of the sleeve, the end of the clip being provided with a hook, the male connector comprising a truncated cone-shaped first limiting block, the first limiting block being coaxially sleeved on the second pipe, the side surface of the first limiting block being provided with a second limiting block, the number of the second limiting blocks being the same as the number of the clips, the inner side surface of the clip being provided with a first inclined surface matching the side surface of the first limiting block, when the female and male connectors are docked, the first limiting block being stuck between the plurality of clips, the first inclined surface being in close contact with the side surface of the first limiting block, the hook being in contact with the lower bottom surface of the first limiting block, the second limiting block being inserted into the first notch between the two adjacent clips, and the second pipe being inserted into the sleeve;

[0009] The first inclined surface and the hook together limit the first limit block along the axial direction of the sleeve, and the second limit block is clamped in the first notch to limit the first limit block along the circumferential direction of the sleeve. The structure is simple and stable, and the installation is easy;

[0010] Furthermore, the first notch faces the central axis of the sleeve, and the clip is provided with a second notch facing the central axis of the sleeve. Second inclined surfaces are provided on both sides of the first notch. The radial side surface and the inner side surface of the clip connected by the second inclined surface drive the first limit block to rotate by rotating the second pipe. The second limit block on the first limit block slides toward the first inclined surface through the second inclined surface. At this time, the second limit block presses against the clip, so that the clip expands in the direction away from the central axis of the sleeve. At this time, the hook on the clip is disengaged from the lower bottom surface of the first limit block. At this time, the limit of the first limit block is released, and the second limit block continues to slide to the second notch on the first inclined surface and is inserted into the second notch. At this time, the limit of the second limit block is released, and the male head can be pulled out along the central axis direction of the sleeve to complete the disassembly, and the operation is simple.

[0011] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is provided between the second pipe and the first limiting block, so that the structure is stable, and the second pipe can be rotated by the reinforcing rib, which facilitates operation.

[0012] Furthermore, there are multiple reinforcing ribs, and the multiple reinforcing ribs are evenly spaced apart.

[0013] Furthermore, the second limiting block is provided with a rounded corner to reduce wear of the second limiting block when sliding and extend its service life.

[0014] Furthermore, the integrated design of the clip and the sleeve facilitates production and has a simple and beautiful structure.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) The present invention includes a female head and a male head. The female head includes a sleeve. One end of the sleeve is connected to the first pipe. The other end is provided with a plurality of clips. The plurality of clips are arranged circumferentially around the central axis of the sleeve. A hook is provided at the end of the clip.

At this time, the second limit block presses against the clip, causing the clip to expand in the direction away from the central axis of the sleeve, so that the diameter of the circle surrounded by several clips is larger than the diameter of the lower bottom surface of the first limit block. At this time, the hook on the clip is separated from the lower bottom surface of the first limit block. At this time, the limit of the first limit block is released, and the second limit block continues to slide to the second notch on the first inclined surface and is inserted into the second notch. At this time, the limit of the second limit block is released, and the male head can be pulled out along the central axis of the sleeve to complete the disassembly, and the operation is simple;

[0036] The clip 22 and the sleeve 21 are designed as an integrated whole, which is easy to produce and has a simple and beautiful structure.

[0037] The disassembly and assembly process of the water pipe docking device is as follows:

[0038] During installation, the upper bottom surface of the first limit block 41 is facing the female head 2, and the position of the second limit block 42 and the first notch 224 are aligned, and the first limit block 41 is pressed toward the female head 2. The five clips 22 are squeezed by the side of the first limit block 41 and expand outward until the first limit block 41 is completely inserted into the female head 2. At this time, the first limit block 41 is stuck between the several clips 22, the first inclined surface 222 is in close contact with the side of the first limit block 41, and the hook 221 is in close contact with the first limit block.

At this time, the hook 221 on the clip 22 is disengaged from the lower bottom surface of the first limit block 41. At this time, the limit of the first limit block 41 is released, and the second limit block 42 continues to slide to the second notch 225 on the first inclined surface 222 and is inserted into the second notch 225. At this time, the limit of the second limit block 42 is released, and the male head 4 can be pulled out along the central axis direction of the sleeve 21 to complete the disassembly, which is simple to operate.

[0040] This embodiment proposes a water pipe docking device that is anti-falling and easy to disassemble and assemble, which can fix the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 34 to prevent falling and relative rotation, ensuring the sealing and stability of the pipe connection. At the same time, only pressing is required to complete the installation. When disassembling, only the second pipe 34 needs to be rotated to pull out the male connector 4. The operation is simple. At the same time, the water pipe docking device has a simple structure and low cost.
