DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] 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.

[0031] First embodiment

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The embodiment of the present invention provides a connector quick-release assembly 100 for disassembling a drain pipe connector 120. The connector can conveniently and quickly disassemble the drain pipe connector 120, with high disassembly efficiency, and can fix the position of the drain pipe connector 120 after disassembly to prevent the drain pipe connector 120 from falling.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connector quick-release assembly 100 is applied to an air conditioner hanging machine (not shown), and the connector quick-release assembly 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 assembly 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, improve the disassembly efficiency of the air conditioner hanging machine, and facilitate the cleaning of the air conditioner hanging machine. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the connector quick-release assembly 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 assembly 100 is not specifically limited.

[0034] The connector quick-release assembly 100 includes a base 110, a drain pipe connector 120, a connecting frame 130, a matching piece 140, a rack 150 and a driving piece 160. 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 connector 120 is sleeved outside the water outlet pipe 111 and is detachably matched with the water outlet pipe 111, so that the drain pipe connector 120 can be installed on the water outlet pipe 111 or removed from the water outlet pipe 111. The end of the drain pipe connector 120 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 connector 120 and the drain pipe in sequence, so as to realize the drainage function of the air conditioner. The connection frame 130 is installed on the drain pipe joint 120 and is movably connected to the base 110. The connection frame 130 can move relative to the base 110. The connection frame 130 is used to drive the drain pipe joint 120 to detach from the outlet pipe 111 when the drain pipe joint 120 and the outlet pipe 111 are released from each other. Specifically, when the drain pipe joint 120 and the outlet pipe 111 are released from each other, the connection frame 130 can drive the drain pipe joint 120 to move relative to the base 110, so that the drain pipe joint 120 is displaced relative to the outlet pipe 111, thereby detaching the drain pipe joint 120 from the outlet pipe 111.

[0035] It should be noted that one end of the connecting frame 130 is fixedly connected to the drain pipe joint 120, and the other end is slidably connected to the base 110 through the matching piece 140. The connecting frame 130 can slide relative to the base 110 to drive the drain pipe joint 120 to slide relative to the outlet pipe 111, thereby detaching the drain pipe joint 120 from the outlet pipe 111. The matching piece 140 cooperates with the rack 150, and the matching piece 140 can move relative to the rack 150. The rack 150 can limit the matching piece 140 to ensure the stability of the matching piece 140 driving the connecting frame 130 to slide relative to the base 110. The driving piece 160 is connected to the matching piece 140, and the driving piece 160 can provide power to the matching piece 140, so that the matching piece 140 drives the connecting frame 130 to slide relative to the base 110, thereby driving the drain pipe joint 120 to slide relative to the outlet pipe 111.

[0036] The base 110 includes a base body 112 and a stopper 113. The water outlet pipe 111 is disposed on the base body 112, and the base body 112 is connected to the stopper 113 to prevent the stopper 113 from being displaced relative to the base body 112. One end of the connecting frame 130 is fixedly connected to the drain pipe joint 120, and the other end is slidably connected to the stopper 113. The connecting frame 130 can slide relative to the stopper 113 to drive the drain pipe joint 120 to slide relative to the water outlet pipe 111. The stopper 113 can limit the position and sliding direction of the connecting frame 130 to improve the sliding stability of the connecting frame 130.

[0037] Further, the base body 112 includes an upper base 1121 and a lower base 1122. The upper base 1121 and the lower base 1122 are detachably connected, the water outlet pipe 111 is arranged on the lower base 1122, and the stopper 113 is connected to the upper base 1121. The connecting frame 130 can slide relative to the stopper 113 to drive the drain pipe joint 130 to be detached from the water outlet pipe 111, so as to facilitate the detachment of the lower base 1122 from the upper base 1121, and then facilitate the detachment of the lower base 1122 for cleaning.

[0038] In this embodiment, the position-limiting member 113 is detachably connected to the upper base 1121, so that the position-limiting member 113 can be removed for maintenance or replacement. Specifically, the upper base 1121 is provided with a slot (not shown), and the position-limiting member 113 is inserted into the slot, and the slot can limit the position of the position-limiting member 113. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the position-limiting member 113 can be bonded to the upper base 1121, and the position-limiting member 113 can also be integrally formed with the upper base 1121, and the connection method of the position-limiting member 113 and the upper base 1121 is not specifically limited.

[0039] In this embodiment, the outlet pipe 111 is tilted and arranged on the side of the base 110, and the stopper 113 is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the outlet pipe 111, so that the sliding direction of the connecting frame 130 is the same as the axial direction of the outlet pipe 111, so that the sliding direction of the drain pipe joint 120 is the same as the axial direction of the outlet pipe 111, and the sliding process of the drain pipe joint 120 is ensured to be stable and reliable. Specifically, the outlet pipe 111 is tilted and extended downward, so that the condensed water in the air conditioner is discharged under the action of gravity, and the drain pipe joint 120 is tilted and extended upward, so that the drain pipe joint 120 and the outlet pipe 111 can be detachably matched. When the connecting frame 130 slides to the extreme position away from the base 110, the drain pipe joint 120 is completely separated from the outlet pipe 111. At this time, sufficient clearance space is formed between the drain pipe joint 120 and the base 110, which is convenient for the disassembly of the air conditioner, and because the drain pipe joint 120 is tilted and arranged upward, the accumulated water in the drain pipe joint 120 will not flow out, and the user experience is good.

[0040] It is worth noting that the drain pipe connector 120 is sleeved outside the water outlet pipe 111 and is detachably connected to the water outlet pipe 111. If the drain pipe connector 120 is to be detached from the water outlet pipe 111, the connection between the drain pipe connector 120 and the water outlet pipe 111 must be released first. In this embodiment, the drain pipe connector 120 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 made to realize the connection between the drain pipe connector 120 and the water outlet pipe 111, and another press is made to release the connection between the drain pipe connector 120 and the water outlet pipe 111. In this way, in the process of removing the drain pipe connector 120 from the water outlet pipe 111, the drain pipe connector 120 is first pressed in a direction close to the base 110 to release the connection between the drain pipe connector 120 and the water outlet pipe 111, and then the connecting frame 130 is slid relative to the limit member 113 in a direction away from the base 110, and the connecting frame 130 drives the drain pipe connector 120 to slide relative to the water outlet pipe 111. However, this is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the drain pipe connector 120 is connected to the water outlet pipe 111 by a snap-fitting manner. When the drain pipe connector 120 is detached from the water outlet pipe 111, the drain pipe connector 120 is first pulled in a direction away from the base 110 to release the snap-fitting state between the drain pipe connector 120 and the water outlet pipe 111. Then, the connecting frame 130 is slid relative to the limit member 113 in a direction away from the base 110. The connecting frame 130 drives the drain pipe connector 120 to slide relative to the water outlet pipe 111. The manner in which the drain pipe connector 120 and the water outlet pipe 111 are detachably connected is not specifically limited.

[0041] The connecting frame 130 includes a fixed portion 131, a connecting portion 132 and a sliding portion 133, and the limiting member 113 is provided with a guide slide groove 114. The fixed portion 131 is fixedly connected to the sliding portion 133 through the connecting portion 132. In this embodiment, the fixed portion 131, the connecting portion 132 and the sliding portion 133 are integrally formed to improve the connection strength. The fixed portion 131 is fixedly connected to the drain pipe joint 120, and the sliding portion 133 extends into the guide slide groove 114 and can slide relative to the guide slide groove 114. The sliding portion 133 can slide in the guide slide groove 114 to drive the drain pipe joint 120 to slide relative to the water outlet pipe 111 through the fixed portion 131, and the guide slide groove 114 can limit the sliding direction of the sliding portion 133.

[0042] In this embodiment, the fixing portion 131 is annular, and the fixing portion 131 is sleeved outside the drain pipe joint 120 and fixedly connected to the drain pipe joint 120. The sliding portion 133 can drive the fixing portion 131 to slide through the connecting portion 132, so that the drain pipe joint 120 slides relative to the outlet pipe 111. A boss 121 is provided at one end of the drain pipe joint 120 close to the base 110, and the fixing portion 131 abuts against the boss 121. The boss 121 can stop the fixing portion 131 to prevent the fixing portion 131 from detaching from the drain pipe joint 120. Specifically, the boss 121 is annular, and the boss 121 and the fixing portion 131 are coaxially arranged to increase the contact area between the boss 121 and the fixing portion 131, so as to ensure that the fixing portion 131 will not detach from the drain pipe joint 120.

[0043] The stopper 113 includes a main body 115 and an end cover 116. The end cover 116 is detachably connected to the main body 115, and the guide groove 114 is provided on the main body 115. The end cover 116 can be installed on the main body 115 and can also be removed from the main body 115, so as to facilitate the installation and replacement of the connecting frame 130. Specifically, the end cover 116 is arranged on a side of the main body 115 away from the base 110, and the end cover 116 is used to abut against the connecting frame 130 after the drain pipe joint 120 is separated from the water outlet pipe 111, so as to prevent the connecting frame 130 from being separated from the stopper 113, so as to facilitate the reset of the drain pipe joint 120 and the connecting frame 130.

[0044] It should be noted that the fitting 140 is connected to the sliding part 133, the fitting 140 is arranged in the guide groove 114, and can move along the extension direction of the guide groove 114 to drive the sliding part 133 to slide along the extension direction of the guide groove 114. During this process, the guide groove 114 can simultaneously limit the fitting 140 and the sliding part 133 to ensure that the sliding process of the connecting frame 130 is stable and reliable.

[0045] The guide slot 114 is provided with a first side wall 117, a connecting wall 118 and a second side wall 119. The first side wall 117 is fixedly connected to the second side wall 119 through the connecting wall 118. The first side wall 117 and the second side wall 119 are arranged on both sides of the connecting wall 118, and the rack 150 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting wall 118. The first side wall 117 is provided with a first limiting groove 1171, and the second side wall 119 is provided with a second limiting groove 1191. The first limiting groove 1171 and the second limiting groove 1191 are both connected to the guide slot 114, and the extension direction of the first limiting groove 1171, the extension direction of the second limiting groove 1191 and the extension direction of the guide slot 114 are all the same. The sliding portion 133 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 114, one end of the fitting 140 extends into the first limiting groove 1171, and the other end extends into the second limiting groove 1191. The fitting 140 can move relative to the first limiting groove 1171 and the second limiting groove 1191 to drive the sliding portion 133 to slide in the guide groove 114, thereby driving the drain pipe connector 120 to slide relative to the water outlet pipe 111 through the connecting frame 130. During this process, the first limiting groove 1171 and the second limiting groove 1191 can limit the fitting 140 to limit the position and movement direction of the fitting 140.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the matching member 140 includes a connecting shaft 141 and a gear 142. The gear 142 is sleeved outside the connecting shaft 141 and fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 141, and the gear 142 can drive the connecting shaft 141 to rotate. The rack 150 is fixedly connected to the connecting wall 118, and the length direction of the rack 150 is the same as the extension direction of the guide slide 114. The gear 142 is meshed with the rack 150, and the gear 142 can rotate relative to the rack 150 and move along the length direction of the rack 150, that is, along the extension direction of the guide slide 114. The sliding part 133 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 141, and the sliding part 133 can rotate relative to the connecting shaft 141. One end of the connecting shaft 141 is rollingly set in the first limiting groove 1171, and the other end is rollingly set in the second limiting groove 1191. The first limiting groove 1171 and the second limiting groove 1191 can limit the connecting shaft 141. Specifically, the gear 142 rotates relative to the rack 150 to drive the connecting shaft 141 to roll in the first limiting groove 1171 and the second limiting groove 1191. During this process, the sliding part 133 rotates relative to the connecting shaft 141, that is, the sliding part 133 maintains a sliding state in the guide groove 114 and will not rotate relative to the guide groove 114 to ensure the smooth sliding of the connecting frame 130.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 7In this embodiment, the sliding portion 133 is provided with a protrusion 134, which extends into the first limiting groove 1171 and can slide relative to the first limiting groove 1171. The first limiting groove 1171 can limit the protrusion 134 to prevent the protrusion 134 from rotating relative to the first limiting groove 1171, thereby preventing the sliding portion 133 from rotating relative to the guide groove 114, thereby ensuring that the connecting frame 130 can only slide along the extension direction of the guide groove 114.

[0048] In this embodiment, the sliding portion 133 is in the shape of a hook, and the sliding portion 133 is hung on the connecting shaft 141 and can rotate relative to the connecting shaft 141, so as to facilitate installation and disassembly, thereby facilitating maintenance and replacement of the matching member 140. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the sliding portion 133 can also be in the shape of a ring, and the sliding portion 133 is sleeved outside the connecting shaft 141 and can rotate relative to the sliding portion 133. The shape of the sliding portion 133 is not specifically limited.

[0049] In this embodiment, there are two sliding parts 133, which are arranged on the connecting part 132 in parallel and at intervals, and the gear 142 is arranged between the two sliding parts 133. One end of the connecting shaft 141 passes through one sliding part 133 and can rotate relative to the sliding part 133, and the other end of the connecting shaft 141 passes through the other sliding part 133 and can rotate relative to the sliding part 133. The two sliding parts 133 work together to limit the position of the gear 142, prevent the gear 142 from being displaced relative to the connecting frame 130, and improve the stability of the transmission process.

[0050] It should be noted that the driving member 160 is connected to the matching member 140, and the driving member 160 can drive the matching member 140 to move in the guide groove 114, so as to drive the drainage pipe joint 120 to slide relative to the outlet pipe 111 through the connecting frame 130. Specifically, the driving member 160 is in transmission connection with the connecting shaft 141, and the driving member 160 can drive the gear 142 to rotate relative to the rack 150 through the connecting shaft 141, thereby driving the sliding part 133 to slide in the guide groove 114, and then driving the drainage pipe joint 120 to slide relative to the outlet pipe 111 through the connecting frame 130.

[0051] In this embodiment, the driving member 160 is a spring, which is connected to the connecting shaft 141. When the connecting frame 130 slides relative to the guide groove 114 in the direction close to the base 110, the gear 142 rotates relative to the rack 150, and the connecting shaft 141 drives the spring to rotate to realize the energy storage of the spring; when the connecting frame 130 slides to the extreme position close to the base 110, the drain pipe joint 120 is connected to the outlet pipe 111, and the energy stored by the spring is the largest at this time; when the drain pipe joint 120 and the outlet pipe 111 are disassembled, the spring releases energy to drive the gear 142 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the rack 150 through the connecting shaft 141, thereby driving the connecting frame 130 to slide relative to the guide groove 114 in the direction away from the base 110, and then driving the drain pipe joint 120 to slide relative to the outlet pipe 111. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the driving member 160 can be a motor, or a pneumatic motor or a hydraulic motor, and the type of the driving member 160 is not specifically limited.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 It should be noted that, during the disassembly process of the connector quick-release assembly 100, the connection between the drain pipe connector 120 and the water outlet pipe 111 is first released; then the driving member 160 drives the matching member 140 to rotate in the guide groove 114, during which the gear 142 engages with the rack 150 to drive the connecting frame 130 to slide in the guide groove 114 in a direction away from the base 110, and at the same time, the connecting frame 130 drives the drain pipe connector 120 to slide relative to the water outlet pipe 111; when the matching member 140 abuts against the end cover portion 116 of the limiting member 113, the connecting frame 130 slides to the extreme position away from the base 110, at which time the drain pipe connector 120 is completely separated from the water outlet pipe 111, and sufficient clearance space is formed between the drain pipe connector 120 and the base 110, so as to facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the air conditioner hanging unit.

[0053] In the joint quick-release assembly 100 described in the embodiment of the present invention, the base 110 is provided with a water outlet pipe 111, the drain pipe joint 120 is sleeved outside the water outlet pipe 111 and detachably matched with the water outlet pipe 111, the connecting frame 130 is installed on the drain pipe joint 120 and movably connected with the base 110, and the connecting frame 130 is used to drive the drain pipe joint 120 to detach from the water outlet pipe 111 when the drain pipe joint 120 and the water outlet pipe 111 are released from the matching. Compared with the prior art, the joint quick-release assembly 100 provided by the present invention can conveniently and quickly disassemble the drain pipe joint 120, with high disassembly efficiency, and can fix the position of the drain pipe joint 120 after disassembly to prevent the drain pipe joint 120 from falling.
