Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to an air conditioning water channel disassembly and assembly structure and an air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] For reasons of hygiene and health, an air conditioner that is easy to disassemble and clean is now available on the market. The base of the air conditioner includes an upper base and a lower base that can be disassembled up and down. The existing air conditioner drain pipe is generally connected to the water outlet of the lower base of the air conditioner. Since the air conditioner drain pipe needs to meet the requirements of anti-pulling and good sealing, the disassembly and assembly of the water outlet and the drain pipe is difficult and complicated, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency is low. In addition, there is residual water in the drain pipe, which is easy to cause the accumulated water to spill when the drain pipe is removed, polluting the wall and other areas. Summary of the invention
[0003] The problem solved by the invention is that the disassembly and assembly efficiency between the existing air-conditioning drainage pipe and the water outlet of the waterway is low, and accumulated water is easily spilled when the drainage pipe is disassembled.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air-conditioning water channel disassembly and assembly structure, including an upper base, a lower base and a joint, the upper base is provided with an interface structure, the lower base is provided with a water channel outlet structure, the interface structure is suitable for installing a drain pipe, the joint is installed between the upper base and the lower base, when the lower base is disassembled and assembled relative to the upper base, the joint moves along its axial direction, and the joint is disengaged from the interface structure or the water channel outlet structure to make way for the water channel outlet structure or the interface structure.
[0005] The present invention installs the drain pipe on the upper base, and the joint is axially moved between the upper base and the lower base, that is, moved left and right, so that the joint is separated from the upper base or the waterway outlet structure, thereby avoiding interference between the joint and the waterway outlet structure or between the joint and the upper base, so that the joint can automatically give way to the waterway outlet structure or the upper base when the lower base is disassembled, thereby facilitating the smooth disassembly and assembly of the lower base. At the same time, there is no need to unplug or install the drain pipe, which reduces the disassembly and installation actions, improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency, and effectively avoids pollution caused by the exposure of accumulated water in the drain pipe. In addition, the joint is installed on the upper base or the lower base. When the lower base is disassembled, the joint can be retained on the upper base or disassembled together with the lower base, and there is no need to disassemble the joint separately, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency.
[0006] Furthermore, it also includes an elastic member and a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism is suitable for driving the joint to move axially, the elastic member is installed in the radial gap between the joint and the interface structure or the axial gap between the joint and the waterway outlet structure, and the elastic member is coaxially arranged with the interface structure or the waterway outlet structure, when the driving mechanism drives the joint to move axially, the elastic member is suitable for being compressed in the axial direction, when the driving mechanism stops driving the joint to move axially, the joint moves in the opposite direction in the axial direction under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member.
[0007] The present invention provides an elastic member so that the joint can be reset under the action of the elastic member after it moves out of position, that is, when the lower base is installed relative to the upper base, the joint moves in the opposite axial direction, so that after the lower base is installed, the waterway outlet structure and the drain pipe are automatically connected without manual intervention, thereby improving installation efficiency.
[0008] Further, the driving mechanism includes a slider and a push block that cooperate with each other, the slider is arranged on the joint, the push block is arranged on the upper base or the lower base, and the contact surface between the push block and the slider is an inclined surface, when the lower base is installed relative to the upper base, the inclined surfaces are in contact with each other; when the lower base is installed in place relative to the upper base, the inclined surfaces are out of contact.
[0009] Thus, when the lower base is installed upward, under the action of the inclined surface, the push block pushes the slider, and the slider drives the joint to move left or right, and when the lower base is installed in place, the inclined surface is disengaged, so that the joint moves in the opposite direction under the action of the elastic member to achieve reset. The present invention drives the joint to move left or right through the cooperation of the slider and the push block, and the structure is simple and easy to implement.
[0010] Further, the inclined surface includes a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, the push block has the first inclined surface, the sliding block has the second inclined surface, and from the time when the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface contact each other to the time when the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface lose contact with each other, the second inclined surface tilts toward the direction approaching the push block.
[0011] Therefore, when the lower base is installed upward, the push block moves upward to contact the second inclined surface of the slider, pushing the slider to move left or right, thereby driving the joint to move left or right.
[0012] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a pull rod, and the joint includes a joint body, the joint body is used to connect the interface structure and the waterway outlet structure, the pull rod is arranged on the joint body, and when the lower base is removed relative to the upper base, the pull rod is suitable for driving the joint body to move axially.
[0013] Therefore, when the lower base is installed relative to the upper base, the pull rod is pulled to the left. Under the pulling action of the pull rod, the connecting rod drives the joint body to move to the left, so that the joint water outlet structure gives way, which is convenient for disassembling the lower base.
[0014] Furthermore, the joint also includes a connecting rod, and the connecting rod is used to connect the slider and the joint body.
[0015] The present invention arranges a connecting rod on the joint body so that a certain distance exists between the slider and the joint body, so that when the lower base is installed, the slider is easy to contact the push block, so that the joint gives way to the water outlet structure in advance.
[0016] Furthermore, the joint also includes a buckle, which is arranged on the connecting rod, and the upper base is provided with a slot suitable for cooperating with the buckle, and the buckle cooperates with the slot to fix the joint on the upper base.
[0017] The present invention has a limiting effect on the joint through the cooperation of the buckle and the slot, thereby preventing the joint from being separated from the interface structure when the joint is moved to the right and reset.
[0018] Furthermore, the buckles are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the pull rod, and the pull rod is suitable for passing through the clamping slot.
[0019] Therefore, there is no need to provide additional holes or grooves on the upper base for the pull rod to pass through, thus simplifying the manufacturing process.
[0020] Furthermore, the joint also includes a sealing ring, and the sealing ring is arranged on the joint body.
[0021] Therefore, when the joint is moved and reset to be connected to the water outlet structure, the sealing performance of the connection between the joint and the water outlet structure is improved.
[0022] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, comprising the air conditioning water channel disassembly and assembly structure as described above.
[0023] The beneficial effects of the air conditioner provided by the present invention relative to the prior art are the same as the beneficial effects of the air conditioning water channel disassembly and assembly structure relative to the prior art, which will not be repeated here.

[0040] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] In addition, the above, below, left, right, front, and back mentioned in the embodiments of the invention refer to the present invention. Figure 1 The directions shown in the figure; wherein, X positive represents "front", X negative represents "back", Y positive represents "right", Y negative represents "left", Z positive represents "up", and Z negative represents "down".
[0042] See also Figure 1-9As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioning water channel disassembly and assembly structure, including an upper base 1, a lower base 2 and a joint 4. The upper base 1 is provided with an interface structure 11, and the lower base 2 is provided with a water channel outlet structure 21. The interface structure 11 is suitable for installing a drain pipe 3. The joint 4 is installed between the upper base 1 and the lower base 2. When the lower base 2 is disassembled relative to the upper base 1, the joint 4 moves along its axial direction, and the joint 4 is separated from the interface structure 11 or the water channel outlet structure 21 to achieve the water channel outlet structure 21 or the interface structure 11 giving way. It should be noted that the axial direction of the joint 4 is as follows. Figure 1 The left and right direction in .
[0043] The first advantage of this embodiment is that the drain pipe 3 is installed on the upper base 1. Since the upper base 1 and the lower base 2 are detachably connected, there is no need to unplug or install the drain pipe 3 when disassembling or assembling the lower base 2, thereby reducing the disassembly and installation actions and improving the disassembly and installation efficiency. In addition, since the drain pipe 3 does not need to be disassembled, the pollution caused by the exposure of accumulated water in the drain pipe 3 can be effectively avoided.
[0044] The second advantage of this embodiment is that, by moving the joint 4 left and right, the water outlet structure 21 or the interface structure 11 of the joint 4 can be made to give way, thereby smoothly removing the lower base 2. Specifically, when the joint 4 is installed on the upper base 1, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the lower base 2 is installed upwards, and the joint 4 is driven to move to the left. At this time, the joint is separated from the waterway outlet structure 21, so that the joint 4 makes way for the waterway outlet structure 21 by moving the joint 4, thereby preventing the joint 4 from interfering with the waterway outlet structure 21. Figure 6 As shown, when the lower base 2 needs to be disassembled, the joint 4 is driven to move to the left, and at this time the joint is disengaged from the waterway outlet structure 21 to make way for the waterway outlet structure 21, so that when the lower base is disassembled, the waterway outlet structure 21 makes way for the waterway outlet structure 21 through the movement of the joint 4. Similarly, when the joint 4 is installed on the lower base 2, the joint 4 is moved so that the joint 4 makes way for the interface structure 11 to prevent the joint 4 from interfering with the interface structure 11. In addition, the joint 4 is installed on the upper base 1 or the lower base 2. When the lower base 2 is disassembled, the joint 4 can be retained on the upper base 1, or disassembled together with the lower base 2, without the need to disassemble the joint 4 separately, thereby improving the disassembly efficiency.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, when the joint 4 is installed on the upper base 1, the drain pipe 3 is installed at one end of the interface structure 11, and the joint 4 is installed at the other end of the interface structure 11, and the joint 4 can be selectively connected to the waterway outlet structure 21. When the joint 4 is installed on the lower base 2, one end of the joint 4 is installed on the waterway outlet structure 21, and the other end of the joint 4 can be selectively connected to the interface structure 11. Thus, the joint 4 is installed between the interface structure 11 and the waterway outlet structure 21, and the joint 4 is suitable for moving between the interface structure 11 and the waterway outlet structure 21 when the lower base 2 is disassembled, thereby realizing the giving way of the joint 4, and realizing the connection or disconnection between the interface structure 11 and the waterway outlet structure 21, thereby realizing the connection or disconnection between the drain pipe 3 and the waterway outlet structure 21. It should be understood that the interface structure 11, the joint 4 and the waterway outlet structure 21 are all parts for water transportation. Therefore, when the connection mode between the joint 4 and the interface structure 11 and the waterway outlet structure 21 is that the joint 4 is inserted into the interface structure 11 and the waterway outlet structure 21 is inserted into the joint 4, the movement of the joint 4 between the interface structure 11 and the waterway outlet structure 21 can be the movement of the joint 4 in the interface structure 11 or the movement of the joint 4 on the waterway outlet structure 21. When the connection mode between the joint 4 and the interface structure 11 and the waterway outlet structure 21 is that the interface structure 11 is inserted into the joint 4 and the joint 4 is inserted into the waterway outlet structure 21, the movement of the joint 4 between the interface structure 11 and the waterway outlet structure 21 can be the movement of the joint 4 on the interface structure 11 or the movement of the interface structure 11 in the waterway outlet structure 21.
[0046] In this embodiment, an interface structure 11 is provided on the upper base 1, which is used to install the drain pipe 3 on the one hand, and to install the joint 4 or selectively connect with the joint 4 on the other hand. The left and right movement of the joint 4 makes the interface structure 11 and the waterway outlet structure 21 connected or disconnected, so that when the lower base 2 is removed, the interface structure 11 is separated from the waterway outlet structure 21, and the drain pipe 3 remains on the interface structure 11 of the upper base 1. When the lower base 2 is reinstalled, the joint 4 moves to the left or right, and the joint 4 automatically gives way, so that the joint 4 does not interfere with the waterway outlet structure 21 or the interface structure 11, so as to ensure the smooth installation of the lower base 2.
[0047] Furthermore, the air conditioning water channel disassembly and assembly structure further includes a driving mechanism, which is used to drive the joint 4 to move left and right between the upper base 1 and the lower base 2, that is, to provide a force for the joint 4 to move. The driving mechanism includes a first driving mechanism and a second driving mechanism, the first driving mechanism is used to drive the joint 4 to move when the lower base 2 is installed, and the second driving mechanism is used to drive the joint 4 to move when the lower base 2 is removed.
[0048] In one of the modes, the first driving mechanism includes a slider 43 and a push block 22 that cooperate with each other. The slider 43 is arranged on the joint 4, and the push block 22 is arranged on the upper base 1 or the lower base 2. Since the joint 4 can move in the interface structure 11 or on the waterway outlet structure 21, that is, the slider 43 is movable, and the push block 22 is arranged on the upper base 1 or the lower base 2 and is immovable, therefore, when the upper base 1 is assembled with the lower base 2, that is, the lower base 2 is installed upward, under the pushing action of the push block 22, the slider 43 drives the joint 4 to move left or right. It can be understood that when the joint 4 is installed on the upper base 1, the push block 22 is arranged on the lower base 2, and when the joint 4 is installed on the lower base 2, the push block 22 is arranged on the upper base 1. In this way, when the lower base 2 is moved upward for installation, the push block 22 pushes the slider 43, thereby driving the joint 4 to move. This embodiment adopts the mode of cooperation between the slider 43 and the push block 22, and the structural setting is simple and easy to implement.
[0049] Further, the contact surface between the push block 22 and the slider 43 is an inclined surface, the push block 22 has a first inclined surface 221, and the slider 43 has a second inclined surface 431. When the lower base 2 is installed upward, the push block 22 moves upward, the first inclined surface 221 contacts the second inclined surface 431, and the push block 22 pushes the slider 43 away to prevent the joint 4 from interfering with the waterway outlet structure 21 (when the joint 4 is installed on the upper base 1) or the joint 4 from interfering with the interface structure 11 (when the joint 4 is installed on the lower base 2). It can be understood that when the joint 4 is set on the upper base 1, the relative position relationship between the push block 22 and the slider 43 is: the push block 22 is on the right side of the slider 43. From the beginning of contact between the push block 22 and the slider 43 to separation, the second inclined surface 431 tilts toward the direction close to the push block 22. In this way, when the lower base 2 is installed upward, the push block 22 moves upward and contacts the second inclined surface 431 of the slider 43, pushing the slider 43 to move leftward, thereby driving the joint 4 to move leftward. When the joint 4 is arranged on the lower base 2, the push block 22 is arranged on the upper base 1. At this time, the relative position relationship between the push block 22 and the slider 43 is: the push block 22 is on the left side of the slider 43. The second inclined surface 431 of the slider 43 is still inclined toward the push block 22. In this way, when the lower base 2 is installed upward, the push block 22 pushes the slider 43 to move rightward, thereby driving the joint 4 to move rightward.
[0050] Further, when the lower base 2 is installed in place, the inclined surface between the push block 22 and the slider 43 is out of contact, and the lower surface of the push block 22 is in contact with the upper surface of the slider 43, so that the joint 4 can be reset and connected with the waterway outlet structure 21 or the interface structure 11, so that the waterway outlet structure 21, the joint 4, the interface structure 11 and the drain pipe 3 are connected, thereby completing the installation of the lower base 2. The so-called installation of the lower base 2 in place means that the waterway outlet structure 21 of the lower base 2 and the joint 4 are on the same central axis.
[0051] Furthermore, the air conditioning water channel disassembly and assembly structure further includes an elastic member 5, which is installed in the radial gap between the joint 4 and the interface structure 11 or the axial gap between the joint 4 and the water channel outlet structure 21, and the elastic member 5 is coaxially arranged with the interface structure 11 or the water channel outlet structure 21. When the driving mechanism drives the joint 4 to move axially, the elastic member 5 is adapted to be compressed in the axial direction, and when the driving mechanism stops driving the joint 4 to move axially, the joint 4 moves in the opposite direction in the axial direction under the action of the restoring force of the elastic member 5.
[0052] Preferably, the elastic member 5 includes a spring. When the joint 4 is mounted on the upper base 1, the spring is sleeved on the joint 4, and the joint 4 is mounted in the interface structure 11, so that the spring is installed between the joint 4 and the radial direction of the interface structure 11. At this time, the spring, the joint 4 and the interface structure 11 are coaxially arranged, and the joint 4 can move left and right in the interface structure 11. It should be understood that one end of the spring is fixed in the interface structure 11, so that the spring will deform when the joint 4 moves. Figure 8 , 9 As shown, when the push block 22 pushes the slider 43 to make the joint 4 move to the left in the interface structure 11, the spring contracts to the left, and the joint 4 gives way to the waterway outlet structure 21, so as to facilitate the removal of the lower base 2. When the push block 22 is separated from the inclined surface in contact with the slider 43, the force driving the joint 4 to move to the left disappears. At this time, since the spring is in a compressed state, the joint 4 is driven to reset under the elastic force of the spring, that is, the joint 4 moves to the right, so that the joint 4 is connected to the waterway outlet structure 21. Similarly, when the joint 4 is installed on the lower base 2, the spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the waterway outlet structure 21, and the waterway outlet structure 21 is inserted into the joint 4, so that the spring is installed between the joint 4 and the axial direction of the waterway outlet structure 21. At this time, the spring is coaxially arranged with the joint 4 and the waterway outlet structure 21, and the joint 4 can move left and right on the waterway outlet structure 21.
[0053] Furthermore, if Fig.10As shown, the joint 4 includes a joint body 41, one end of the joint body 41 is connected to the interface structure 11 or the waterway outlet structure 21, and the other end of the joint body 41 is selectively connected to the waterway outlet structure 21 or the interface structure 11. When the joint 4 is installed on the upper base 1, one end of the joint body 41 is connected to the interface structure 11, and the other end of the joint body 41 is selectively connected to the waterway outlet structure 21. At this time, when the other end of the joint body 41 is connected to the waterway outlet structure 21, the waterway outlet structure 21, the joint body 41, the interface structure 11 and the drain pipe 3 are connected, which is convenient for water flow to pass through. When the other end of the joint body 41 is not connected to the waterway outlet structure 21, the waterway outlet structure 21 is separated from the interface structure 11, and the drain pipe 3 is detached from the waterway outlet structure 21. It can be understood that at this time, the lower base 2 is disassembled from the upper base 1. When the joint 4 is installed on the lower base 2, one end of the joint body 41 is connected to the water outlet structure 21, and the other end of the joint body 41 is selectively connected to the interface structure 11. At this time, when the other end of the joint body 41 is connected to the interface structure 11, the water outlet structure 21, the joint body 41, the interface structure 11 are connected to the drain pipe 3. When the other end of the joint body 41 is not connected to the interface structure 11, the interface structure 11 is separated from the water outlet structure 21, and the drain pipe 3 is detached from the water outlet structure 21.
[0054] Furthermore, in order to improve the sealing performance of the connection between the joint 4 and the waterway outlet structure 21 or the interface structure 11, as Figure 7 As shown, the joint 4 further includes a sealing ring 46 , which is disposed on the joint body 41 .
[0055] Furthermore, when the connector 4 is installed on the upper base 1, during the installation process of the lower base 2, after the lower base 2 is installed in place, the connector 4 moves to the right under the action of the spring to connect with the waterway outlet structure 21, and there is a risk of the connector 4 being separated from the interface structure 11 when it is reset to the right. Similarly, when the connector 4 is installed on the lower base 2, there is also a risk of the connector 4 being separated from the waterway outlet structure 21 when it is reset to the left under the action of the spring. In order to prevent the connector 4 from being separated from the interface structure 11 or the waterway outlet structure 21 under the action of the spring, in this embodiment, the air conditioning waterway disassembly and assembly structure also includes a fixing structure, which is used to fix the connector 4 to the upper base 1 or the lower base 2. There can be many specific forms of the fixing structure, such as the fixing structure including a fixing portion and a fixing groove that cooperate with each other, the fixing portion is arranged on the connector 4, the fixing groove is arranged on the upper base 1 or the lower base 2, and the fixing portion cooperates with the fixing groove.
[0056] In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the connector 4 is mounted on the upper base 1. Figure 1-4As shown, taking the case where the connector 4 is installed on the left side of the air conditioner as an example, the drain pipe 3 is installed at one end of the interface structure 11 of the upper base 1, and the connector 4 is installed at the other end of the interface structure 11 of the upper base 1. One end of the connector body 41 is inserted into the interface structure 11, and the other end of the connector body 41 is selectively connected to the waterway outlet structure 21. When the connector body 41 and the waterway outlet structure 21 are sealed, the waterway outlet structure 21, the connector 4, and the interface structure 11 are connected to the drain pipe 3, which is convenient for water to flow through. In this embodiment, the connector 4 is installed on the upper base 1. When the lower base 2 is disassembled, the connector 4 is retained on the upper base 1, which reduces the weight of the lower base 2 and facilitates disassembly and assembly. At the same time, it also prevents the connector 4 from being installed loosely due to disassembly and assembly, and increases the risk of the connector 4 falling due to loose installation of the connector 4.
[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the joint 4 further includes a connecting rod 42, one end of which is disposed on the joint body 41, and the other end of the connecting rod 42 is connected to a slider 43. The arrangement of the connecting rod 42 makes it easy for the slider 43 to contact the push block 22. The shape of the connecting rod 42 is not specifically limited, and can be a straight rod or a bent rod. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting rod 42 is arranged as a bent rod, and is adapted to the shape of the bottom of the lower base 2, so that when the lower base 2 is installed upward, it is convenient for the slider 43 to cooperate with the push block 22.
[0058] In the preferred embodiment, Figure 5 , 6 As shown in FIG. 10 , the connector 4 further includes a buckle 44, which is disposed on the connecting rod 42. A slot suitable for cooperating with the buckle 44 is disposed on the left panel of the upper base 1. The buckle 44 cooperates with the slot to fix the connector 4 to the upper base 1. In this way, after the lower base 2 is installed in place, the connector 4 moves to the right under the action of the spring, and at the same time, under the limiting action of the buckle 44 and the slot, the connector 4 is prevented from being separated from the interface structure 11.
[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the second driving mechanism includes a driving rod, which is a pull rod 45 disposed on the joint 4. Fig.10 As shown, the pull rod 45 is arranged on the connecting rod 42, and a hole or groove suitable for the pull rod 45 to pass through is arranged on the left plate of the upper base 1. When the lower base 2 needs to be disassembled, the pull rod 45 is pulled in the direction away from the waterway outlet structure 21 (i.e. to the left). Under the pulling action of the pull rod 45, the connecting rod 42 drives the joint body 41 to move in the direction away from the waterway outlet structure 21 (i.e. to the left). At this time, the joint 4 gives way to the waterway outlet structure 21 to facilitate the disassembly of the lower base 2. It can be understood that in other ways, when the joint 4 is installed on the lower base 2, the second driving mechanism can be a push rod arranged on the joint 4, and the push rod is pushed in the direction away from the interface structure 11 (i.e. to the right), and the joint 4 moves in the direction away from the interface structure 11 (i.e. to the right). Of course, other ways can also be used to drive the joint 4 to move to the right.
[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the buckles 44 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the pull rod 45. In this way, the pull rod 45 passes through the slot and the buckles 44 cooperate with the slot. There is no need to set additional holes or slots on the upper base 1 for the pull rod 45 to pass through, thereby reducing the number of holes or slots opened on the upper base 1.
[0061] Taking the installation of the joint 4 on the upper base 1 as an example, the working process of this embodiment is described as follows:
[0062] When the lower base 2 needs to be removed, the pull rod 45 on the connecting rod 42 is pulled, the pull rod 45 drives the connecting rod 42, and the connecting rod 42 drives the joint body 41 to move to the left, so that the joint body 41 moves to the left in the interface structure 11, and the spring is in a contracted state. At this time, the joint 4 is separated from the waterway outlet structure 21, and the slider 43 on the joint 4 gives way to the push block 22 on the lower base 2, so that the lower base 2 can be removed smoothly. It should be understood that during the removal of the lower base 2, the pull rod 45 needs to be kept in a tensioned state to ensure that the joint 4 gives way to the waterway outlet structure 21. After the lower base 2 is removed, the pull rod 45 is released, and the joint 4 moves to the right and resets under the action of the spring.
[0063] When the lower base 2 is installed upward, the push block 22 on the lower base 2 contacts the slider 43. Under the action of the inclined mating surface, the push block 22 pushes the slider 43 to the left, thereby driving the connector 4 to move to the left in the interface structure 11. At the same time, the spring is in a contracted state. At this time, the connector 4 gives way to the water outlet structure 21. When the lower base 2 is installed in place, the inclined surface between the push block 22 and the slider 43 is disengaged, and the connector 4 moves to the right and resets under the action of the spring, so that the connector 4 is sealed and connected to the water outlet structure 21, thereby connecting the pipeline from the water outlet structure 21 to the drain pipe 3.
[0064] In the present embodiment, during the installation and removal process of the lower base 2, the drain pipe 3 is fixedly mounted on the upper base 1, and there is no need to remove the drain pipe 3. When the lower base 2 is installed, the joint 4 can automatically give way to the waterway outlet structure 21. After the lower base 2 is installed in place, the joint 4 can automatically reset and be sealed and connected with the waterway outlet structure 21, without the need for manual intervention by the staff, thus reducing the actions during the disassembly process, and being simple and convenient.
[0065] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
