These pneumatic tools usually need to be connected to a compressed air source through a flexible air pipe. In order to facilitate connection and use, a flexible air pipe is often pre-buried on the ground of the workshop site, and the air pipe joint on the ground is connected to the pneumatic tool through the flexible air pipe extending from the pneumatic tool. Although this layout facilitates the use of tools, it also brings some technical problems, such as the neglect of protection of the joint itself, the direct exposure of the air pipe joint on the ground without adequate protection measures, and the vulnerability to external factors.
