[0025] In order to facilitate the fixation of the sealing ring 3, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , at least two positioning groove blocks 21 are arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the water inlet pipe 2, a through groove 211 is formed on each positioning groove block 21 along the axial direction of the water inlet pipe 2, and a positioning protrusion 311 corresponding in position and same in number as the positioning groove blocks 21 is arranged on the first end portion 31, during installation, the positioning protrusion 311 is clamped in the through groove 211, and in order to facilitate the fixed connection of the positioning groove block 21 and the positioning protrusion 311, a screw 22 communicating with the through groove 211 is arranged through the side wall of the water inlet pipe 2, as shown in Figure 4 , a threaded hole connected with the screw 22 is formed on the positioning protrusion 311, and in the present embodiment, the positioning protrusion 311 is in the shape of L. Further, since the screw 22 is small and is easy to be lost during installation and disassembly, the elastic rope 23 for fixed connection with the screw 22 is arranged on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 2.
[0026] Further, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the sealing ring 3, a plurality of convex strips 331 are arranged on the outer wall of the second end portion 33, the convex strips 331 are arranged linearly, which can increase the friction between the second end portion 33 and the hand, so as to facilitate the pulling out of the sealing ring 3 from the water inlet pipe 2.
[0027] Further, the supporting assembly 4 assists in supporting the output pipe, which ensures that the output pipe and the water inlet pipe 2 are coaxial and avoids the installation position from being deviated, as shown in Figure 3 , the supporting assembly 4 comprises a first connecting rod 41 and a second connecting rod 42 located on both sides of the water inlet pipe 2 and parallel to the axis of the water inlet pipe 2, wherein the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 are fixedly connected with the outer wall of the water turbine set 1, and the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42 are provided with a supporting ring 43 with adjustable installation height, and the axis of the supporting ring 43 is parallel to the axis of the water inlet pipe 2, as shown inFigure 3 As shown, the support ring 43 is a semi-circular ring structure, and the inner side thereof can be attached to the outer wall of the water conveying pipe. Since the installation height of the support ring 43 is adjustable, the installation of the water conveying pipe can be finely adjusted.
[0028] Specifically, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the installation height of the support ring 43 and facilitate the guiding of the support ring 43 during the adjustment, a vertical sliding groove is formed on each of the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42.

The positioning protrusion 311 and the positioning groove block 21 are fixed by the screw 22, so that one side surface of the sealing part 32 is attached to the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 2. Then, the water conveying pipe is sleeved on the second end part 33, and the outer wall of the water conveying pipe is attached to the inner side surface of the support ring 43. The support height of the support ring 43 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 4312, so that the water conveying pipe and the water inlet pipe 2 are coaxial. Then, the water conveying pipe is moved along the axial direction, so that the water outlet end of the water conveying pipe is attached to the other side surface of the sealing part 32. The water inlet pipe 2 and the water conveying pipe are fixed by the bolt, so that the sealing part 32 is deformed by extrusion to seal the connection between the water inlet pipe 2 and the water conveying pipe.
