The mechanism can simplify the disassembly process of the drain pipe connector 140, realize the quick disassembly of the drain pipe connector 140, and fix the position of the drain pipe connector 140 after disassembly to prevent the drain pipe connector 140 from falling, thereby improving the user experience.

[0032] In this embodiment, the connector quick release mechanism 100 is applied to an air conditioner hanging machine (not shown), and the connector quick release mechanism 100 is used to connect the air conditioner hanging machine and a drain pipe (not shown). In the process of cleaning the air conditioner hanging machine, it is necessary to first disassemble the connector quick release mechanism 100, and then disassemble the air conditioner hanging machine, so as to avoid interference of the drain pipe with the disassembly of the air conditioner hanging machine, thereby improving the disassembly efficiency of the air conditioner hanging machine. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the connector quick release mechanism 100 can also be applied to air conditioner cabinets or other household appliances that require drainage, and the application scenario of the connector quick release mechanism 100 is not specifically limited.

[0033] The joint quick release mechanism 100 includes a base 110, an end cover 120, a hinge plate 130, a drain pipe joint 140, a connecting rod 150, a bracket 160, a guide slide 170 and a stopper 180. The base 110 is provided with a water outlet pipe 111, and the water outlet pipe 111 is used to discharge the condensed water generated by the air conditioner. The drain pipe joint 140 is sleeved outside the water outlet pipe 111 and is detachably matched with the water outlet pipe 111 to facilitate the installation and removal of the drain pipe joint 140 and the water outlet pipe 111. The end of the drain pipe joint 140 away from the water outlet pipe 111 is connected to the drain pipe, and the condensed water generated by the air conditioner can be discharged to the outside through the water outlet pipe 111, the drain pipe joint 140 and the drain pipe in sequence to achieve the drainage operation of the air conditioner. The end cover 120 is disposed on the side of the base 110 and is hinged to the hinge plate 130 through a hinge. The hinge plate 130 can rotate relative to the end cover 120 and move away from or closer to the base 110. The hinge plate 130 is hinged to the drain pipe joint 140 through a connecting rod 150. The hinge plate 130 is used to drive the drain pipe joint 140 to be removed from the outlet pipe 111 when the drain pipe joint 140 is released from the outlet pipe 111. Specifically, when the drain pipe joint 140 is released from the outlet pipe 111, the hinge plate 130 can rotate relative to the end cover 120 in a direction away from the base 110, so as to drive the drain pipe joint 140 to be displaced relative to the outlet pipe 111 through the connecting rod 150, so that the drain pipe joint 140 is removed from the outlet pipe 111.

[0034] It should be noted that the guide slide 170 is connected to the base 110, the bracket 160 is installed on the drain pipe joint 140 and is slidably connected to the guide slide 170, the drain pipe joint 140 can drive the bracket 160 to move, the bracket 160 is used to slide relative to the guide slide 170 during the process of removing the drain pipe joint 140 from the outlet pipe 111, and the guide slide 170 can limit the position and sliding direction of the bracket 160 to limit the position and sliding direction of the drain pipe joint 140, so as to facilitate the removal of the drain pipe joint 140 from the outlet pipe 111. The stopper 180 is connected to the side of the guide slide 170 away from the base 110, and the stopper 180 is used to abut against the bracket 160 after the drain pipe joint 140 is removed from the outlet pipe 111, so as to prevent the bracket 160 from being separated from the guide slide 170, so as to facilitate the reset of the drain pipe joint 140 and the bracket 160.

[0035] Further, the base 110 includes an upper base 112 and a lower base 113, the upper base 112 and the lower base 113 are detachably connected, the guide slide 170 is connected to the upper base 112, and the water outlet pipe 111 is arranged on the lower base 113. The hinge plate 130 can drive the drain pipe joint 140 to be removed from the water outlet pipe 111 through the connecting rod 150, so as to remove the lower base 113 from the upper base 112 for cleaning.

[0036] In this embodiment, the guide slide 170 is detachably connected to the upper base 112, so that the guide slide 170 can be removed for maintenance or replacement. Specifically, the upper base 112 is provided with a slot (not shown), and the guide slide 170 is inserted into the slot, and the slot can limit the position of the guide slide 170. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the guide slide 170 can be bonded to the upper base 112, and the guide slide 170 can also be integrally formed with the upper base 112, and the connection method of the guide slide 170 and the upper base 112 is not specifically limited.

[0037] In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 111 is obliquely arranged on the side of the base 110, and the guide member 170 is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 111, so that the sliding direction of the bracket 160 is the same as the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 111, so that the sliding direction of the bracket 160 is the same as the sliding direction of the drain pipe joint 140, so as to ensure that the sliding process of the drain pipe joint 140 is stable and reliable. Specifically, the water outlet pipe 111 is arranged to extend downwardly obliquely so that the condensed water in the air conditioner hanging machine can be discharged under the action of gravity.

[0038] It is worth noting that the drain pipe connector 140 is sleeved outside the water outlet pipe 111 and is detachably connected to the water outlet pipe 111. If the drain pipe connector 140 is to be removed from the water outlet pipe 111, the connection between the drain pipe connector 140 and the water outlet pipe 111 must be released first. In this embodiment, the drain pipe connector 140 is connected to the water outlet pipe 111 by means of a spring-clip connection, which is similar to the way in which a ballpoint pen core pops out or retracts in the prior art, that is, one press is performed to realize the connection between the drain pipe connector 140 and the water outlet pipe 111, and another press is performed to release the connection between the drain pipe connector 140 and the water outlet pipe 111. In this way, in the process of removing the drain pipe connector 140 from the water outlet pipe 111, the hinged plate 130 is first pressed in a direction close to the base 110 to drive the drain pipe connector 140 to move in a direction close to the base 110 through the connecting rod 150, thereby releasing the connection between the drain pipe connector 140 and the water outlet pipe 111, and then the hinged plate 130 is rotated in a direction away from the base 110 to drive the drain pipe connector 140 to separate from the water outlet pipe 111 through the connecting rod 150. However, this is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the drain pipe connector 140 is connected to the water outlet pipe 111 by a snap-fitting manner. When removing the drain pipe connector 140 from the water outlet pipe 111, the hinged plate 130 is first pulled away from the base 110 to release the snap-fitting state between the drain pipe connector 140 and the water outlet pipe 111 through the connecting rod 150. Then, the hinged plate 130 is rotated away from the base 110 to drive the drain pipe connector 140 to be detached from the water outlet pipe 111 through the connecting rod 150. The manner of the detachable connection between the drain pipe connector 140 and the water outlet pipe 111 is not specifically limited.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 The connecting rod 150 includes a first hinge portion 151, a body portion 152, and a second hinge portion 153. The first hinge portion 151 is fixedly connected to the second hinge portion 153 through the body portion 152. In this embodiment, the first hinge portion 151, the body portion 152, and the second hinge portion 153 are integrally formed to improve the connection strength. The first hinge portion 151 is hinged to the hinge plate 130, and the second hinge portion 153 is hinged to the drain pipe joint 140. One end of the connecting rod 150 can rotate relative to the hinge plate 130, and the other end can rotate relative to the drain pipe joint 140. The connecting rod 150 realizes the transmission operation between the hinge plate 130 and the drain pipe joint 140 through two hinge points.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first hinge part 151 and the second hinge part 153 are both hook-shaped, a first hinge column 131 is provided on the hinge plate 130, and a second hinge column 141 is provided on the drain pipe joint 140, the first hinge column 131 and the second hinge column 141 are provided in parallel, the first hinge part 151 is hung on the first hinge column 131 and can rotate relative to the first hinge column 131, and the second hinge part 153 is hung on the second hinge column 141 and can rotate relative to the second hinge column 141.

[0041] In this embodiment, there are two connecting rods 150, which are arranged on both sides of the drain pipe joint 140 and are parallel to each other. The hinge plate 130 can drive the drain pipe joint 140 to move through the two connecting rods 150 at the same time, so as to improve the stability of the transmission process and ensure that the drain pipe joint 140 can be smoothly removed from the water outlet pipe 111. Furthermore, there are two first hinge columns 131 and two second hinge columns 141, and one end of each connecting rod 150 is hinged to one first hinge column 131, and the other end is hinged to one second hinge column 141.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The bracket 160 includes a mounting portion 161, a connecting portion 162 and a sliding portion 163. The guide slide 170 is provided with a slide groove 175. The mounting portion 161 is fixedly connected to the sliding portion 163 through the connecting portion 162. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 161, the connecting portion 162 and the sliding portion 163 are integrally formed to improve the connection strength. The mounting portion 161 is connected to the drain pipe joint 140, and the sliding portion 163 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 175. The drain pipe joint 140 can drive the mounting portion 161 to move, thereby driving the sliding portion 163 to slide in the slide groove 175. The slide groove 175 can limit the sliding direction of the sliding portion 163.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 161 is annular, and the mounting portion 161 is sleeved outside the drain pipe joint 140 and fixedly connected to the drain pipe joint 140. The drain pipe joint 140 can drive the entire bracket 160 to slide relative to the guide member 170 through the mounting portion 161. A flange 142 is provided at one end of the drain pipe joint 140 close to the base 110, and the mounting portion 161 abuts against the flange 142. The flange 142 can stop the mounting portion 161 to prevent the mounting portion 161 from detaching from the drain pipe joint 140. Specifically, the flange 142 is annular, and the flange 142 is coaxially arranged with the mounting portion 161 to increase the contact area between the flange 142 and the mounting portion 161, so as to ensure that the mounting portion 161 will not detach from the drain pipe joint 140.

[0044] It should be noted that the slide groove 175 is a T-shaped groove, and the sliding portion 163 includes a first column 165, a connecting platform 166, and a second column 167. One end of the connecting platform 166 is fixedly connected to the first column 165, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second column 167. The first column 165 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 162. The first column 165 and the second column 167 are both slidably matched with the slide groove 175, and the connecting portion 162 extends out of the slide groove 175 and is fixedly connected to the mounting portion 161. Specifically, the first column 165 and the second column 167 slide in the slide groove 175, and the slide groove 175 can simultaneously limit the first column 165 and the second column 167 to prevent the sliding portion 163 from rotating relative to the slide groove 175, thereby ensuring the stability of the sliding match between the sliding portion 163 and the slide groove 175.

[0045] In this embodiment, the guide member 170 includes a first side wall 171, a second side wall 172, a first limiting platform 173 and a second limiting platform 174. The first side wall 171 and the second side wall 172 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, the first limiting platform 173 is fixedly connected to a side of the first side wall 171 close to the second side wall 172, the second limiting platform 174 is fixedly connected to a side of the second side wall 172 close to the first side wall 171, the sliding portion 163 is arranged between the first side wall 171 and the second side wall 172, and the connecting portion 162 is arranged between the first limiting platform 173 and the second limiting platform 174. One end of the first column 165 is arranged on the first limiting platform 173 and can slide relative to the first limiting platform 173, and the other end is arranged on the second limiting platform 174 and can slide relative to the second limiting platform 174.

[0046] It is worth noting that the stopper 180 is provided with a receiving cavity 181, and the receiving cavity 181 is connected with the slide groove 175. The inner side wall of the receiving cavity 181 has a rotating curved surface 182, and the bracket 160 can extend into the receiving cavity 181, and abut against the rotating curved surface 182, and rotate relative to the rotating curved surface 182, so as to drive the drain pipe joint 140 to rotate and move away from the outlet pipe 111, so as to make way for the air conditioner, and facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the air conditioner. Specifically, the first column 165 of the sliding part 163 in the bracket 160 can abut against the rotating curved surface 182, and rotate relative to the rotating curved surface 182, and the curvature radius of the first column 165 is the same as the curvature radius of the rotating curved surface 182, so as to realize the function of the bracket 160 rotating relative to the stopper 180.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 It should be noted that, during the disassembly process of the joint quick-release mechanism 100, the connection between the drain pipe joint 140 and the water outlet pipe 111 is first released, and the hinge plate 130 and the end cover 120 are located on the same plane; then, the hinge plate 130 is rotated to a first preset angle relative to the end cover 120 in a direction away from the base 110, and the hinge plate 130 drives the drain pipe joint 140 to slide relative to the water outlet pipe 111 along the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 111 through the connecting rod 150, and gradually separates from the water outlet pipe 111. During this process, the drain pipe joint 140 drives the bracket 160 to slide relative to the guide slide 170, and the sliding portion 163 slides in the slide groove 175; when When the drain pipe joint 140 is completely separated from the water outlet pipe 111, the bracket 160 extends into the accommodating cavity 181, and the first column 165 abuts against the rotating curved surface 182; then the hinged plate 130 continues to be rotated to a second preset angle in the direction away from the base 110, and the hinged plate 130 drives the drain pipe joint 140 to rotate through the connecting rod 150. During this process, the first column 165 rotates relative to the rotating curved surface 182, and the entire bracket 160 rotates with the rotation of the drain pipe joint 140, so that the drain pipe joint 140 continues to move away from the base 110, thereby allowing the drain pipe joint 140 to give way to the air conditioner hanging machine, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning of the air conditioner hanging machine.

[0048] The joint quick-release mechanism 100 described in the embodiment of the present invention has a base 110 provided with a water outlet pipe 111, a drain pipe joint 140 is sleeved outside the water outlet pipe 111 and detachably matched with the water outlet pipe 111, an end cover 120 is provided on the side of the base 110 and is hinged to the hinged plate 130, and the hinged plate 130 is hinged to the drain pipe joint 140 through a connecting rod 150, and the hinged plate 130 is used to drive the drain pipe joint 140 to be removed from the water outlet pipe 111 when the drain pipe joint 140 and the water outlet pipe 111 are released from each other.
