[0005] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0006] This invention provides a water pipe assembly with a filtration structure, including a base. A first quick-connect fitting is threaded onto one side of the base.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should also be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments. For some well-known technologies, those skilled in the art can also use other alternative methods to implement the invention; moreover, the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that the use of terms such as "an embodiment," "an embodiment," "an exemplary embodiment," and "some embodiments" in the specification indicates that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments (whether explicitly described or not) should be within the knowledge of those skilled in the art.

[0030] Generally, terms can be understood at least partly from their use in context. For example, depending at least partly on the context, the term "one or more" as used herein can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic in a singular sense, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics in a plural sense. Additionally, the term "based on" can be understood not necessarily to convey an exclusive set of factors, but rather, alternatively, depending at least partly on the context, to allow for the presence of other factors that are not necessarily explicitly described.

[0031] It is understood that the meanings of “on”, “above”, and “above” in this invention should be interpreted in the broadest manner, such that “on” not only means “directly on” something, but also includes the meaning of being “on” something with an intervening feature or layer, and that “above” or “above” not only means “on” something, but also includes the meaning of being “on” something without an intervening feature or layer.

[0032] Furthermore, spatially related terms such as “below,” “under,” “lower,” “above,” and “upper” are used herein for convenience to describe the relationship of one element or feature to one or more other elements or features, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Spatially related terms are intended to cover different orientations in the use or operation of the device other than those depicted in the accompanying drawings. The device may be oriented in other ways, and the spatially related descriptive terms used herein can be interpreted similarly.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a water pipe assembly with a filtration structure, including a base 1. A first quick-connect fitting 2 is threaded to one side of the base 1. A water pipe assembly is sleeved on one end of the first quick-connect fitting 2. The water pipe assembly consists of a clean water pipe tail 3 and a clean water pipe head 31. An adapter assembly is provided on the outside of the water pipe assembly. The clean water pipe tail 3 and the clean water pipe head 31 are connected to each other through the adapter assembly. A metal connector 4 is sleeved on one end of the clean water pipe head 31. A first filter 5 is threaded to the inside of the metal connector 4. A first water pipe connector 6 is threaded to one end of the first filter 5. One end of the first water pipe connector 6 is internally threaded for connection with other water pipes. A filter element 11 is provided inside the first filter 5. One-way valves 14 are provided at both ends of the clean water pipe tail 3. The two one-way valves 14 are oriented in the same direction. Figure 2 For example, the water in the clear water pipe tail 3 can flow from the first water pipe joint 6 to the first base joint 12, but is blocked by the one-way valve 14 if it flows away from the first water pipe joint 6.

[0034] A second quick-connector 7 is provided on one side of the base 1. A sewage pipe 8 is provided inside the second quick-connector 7. The diameter of the sewage pipe 8 is larger than the diameter of the clean water pipe tail 3. A second filter 9 is provided at one end of the sewage pipe 8. A second water pipe connector 10 is provided at one end of the second filter 9. The second water pipe connector 10 is a metal connector. The screws connected by the threads on the outside of the second water pipe connector 10 improve the connection strength when connected to other water pipes. A first base connector 12 and a second base connector 13 are connected on the side of the base 1 away from the first quick-connector 2. The first base connector 12 is connected to the clean water pipe tail 3, and the second base connector 13 is connected to the sewage pipe 8.

[0035] It should be noted that this invention is used after being connected to cleaning appliances and components such as inlet and outlet pipes. By setting a first filter 5 and a second filter 9 at one end of the clean water pipe head 31 and the sewage pipe 8, the water entering and exiting the cleaning appliance can be filtered to prevent impurities from entering the cleaning appliance and causing blockages during long-term use. At the same time, the discharged water is also filtered to filter and collect impurities in the sewage generated during the cleaning process, so as to enable centralized cleaning. Furthermore, both ends of the first filter 5 and the second filter 9 are provided with corresponding connectors, which can improve the flexibility of connection with other water pipes and meet various installation requirements in actual installation.

[0036] Furthermore, the adapter assembly includes a first adapter 15 sleeved on one end of the clean water pipe tail 3. A first sealing joint 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first adapter 15. The first sealing joint 16 is inserted into the inner side of the clean water pipe tail 3. Multiple raised rings are provided on the outer side of the first sealing joint 16. The raised rings can further improve the sealing between the first sealing joint 16 and the clean water pipe tail 3. The second sealing joint 18 mentioned below has the same configuration. A rubber connecting tube 17 is connected to one end of the first adapter 15. The rubber connecting tube 17 is a soft hose.

[0037] One end of the rubber connecting tube 17 is connected to a second adapter 19. A second sealing joint 18 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second adapter 19. The second sealing joint 18 is inserted into the inner side of the clean water pipe head 31. An external threaded component 20 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the clean water pipe head 31. One end of the second adapter 19 is rotatably connected to an internal threaded sleeve 21. The internal threaded sleeve 21 and the external threaded component 20 are threadedly connected. The rotatable connection between the internal threaded sleeve 21 and the second adapter 19 allows the second adapter 19 to be connected without rotating it, thereby improving the convenience of connecting the second adapter 19 and the clean water pipe head 31. A gasket 22 is sleeved on the inner side of the second adapter 19. The gasket 22 is sleeved on the outer side of the second sealing joint 18, and the gasket 22 is in contact with the clean water pipe head 31.

[0038] A connecting seat 23 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first adapter 15. A limiting reinforcement 24 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the connecting seat 23. An L-shaped groove is provided on the inner side of the limiting reinforcement 24. A connecting slide post 25 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second adapter 19. The connecting slide post 25 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting reinforcement 24. An adjusting member 27 is rotatably connected to the inside of the limiting reinforcement 24. A screw 28 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the adjusting member 27. A fixed slider 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 28. The fixed slider 26 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting reinforcement 24.

[0039] It should be noted that in actual installation, when the length of the sewage pipe 8 is also long and inconvenient to install, it can be set up and installed with the same adapter component as the water pipe component to improve the convenience of installation and subsequent maintenance.

[0040] When connecting the water pipe tail 3 and the water pipe head 31, the water pipe tail 3 is connected to the cleaning appliance, and the water pipe head 31 is connected to the first filter 5 and then to the water pipe at the water source. Then, the water pipe tail 3 and the water pipe head 31 are connected. At this time, the limiting reinforcement 24 and the connecting slide 25 are separated, and the rubber connecting pipe 17 is a flexible hose. This allows the water pipe tail 3 and the water pipe head 31 to approach each other in a staggered state. After the water pipe tail 3 approaches the water pipe head 31, the second sealing joint 18 can be inserted into the inside of the water pipe head 31. By rotating the internal threaded sleeve 21, the internal threaded sleeve 21 and the external threaded part 20 are engaged. The water pipe is connected and tightened to connect the water pipe tail 3 and the water pipe head 31, thus dividing the water pipe into two sections. After installing the two sections separately, they are connected close to each other, which avoids the difficulty of installing the entire water pipe in a narrow space. This significantly improves the ease of installation in narrow spaces. At the same time, when the water pipe needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the water pipe tail 3 and the water pipe head 31 can be separated by separating the internal threaded sleeve 21 from the external threaded part 20. At this time, there is sufficient space for disassembly and maintenance when disassembling the water pipe tail 3 or the water pipe head 31, thus improving the convenience of later maintenance of the water pipe.

[0041] During the connection process between the second sealing joint 18 and the water pipe head 31, the positions of the water pipe tail 3 and the water pipe head 31 are further adjusted to ensure they are coaxial. At this point, multiple limiting reinforcements 24 can be brought closer together, and the connecting slide 25 can enter the inner side of the limiting reinforcements 24. Then, the connection between the second sealing joint 18 and the water pipe head 31 is completed. The second sealing joint 18 gradually enters the inner side of the water pipe head 31, while the connecting slide 25 slides within the limiting reinforcements 24. Through the limiting of multiple limiting reinforcements 24, the water pipe tail 3 and the water pipe head 31 are limited, fixing them in a coaxial state and preventing misalignment. This improves the connection efficiency. The connection strength between the water pipe tail 3 and the water pipe head 31 is enhanced to prevent excessive shaking between them, which could damage the rubber connecting pipe 17. After the internal threaded sleeve 21 is tightened, the adjusting parts 27 on both sides are rotated to cause the screw 28 to drive the fixed slider 26 to approach the connecting slide post 25. The fixed slider 26 abuts against the connecting slide post 25, thereby limiting the connecting slide post 25 and preventing it from sliding further inside the limiting reinforcement 24. This fixes the distance between the water pipe tail 3 and the water pipe head 31, further limiting their movement. This prevents the rubber connecting pipe 17 from folding or tilting, ensuring its service life.

[0042] In summary, the water pipe assembly with a filter structure designed in this invention improves the adaptability of the invention during installation and simplifies the installation method by using the first water pipe connector 6 and the second water pipe connector 10, making the installation steps more convenient. At the same time, the first filter 5 and the second filter 9 can filter the inlet and outlet water to improve water quality and facilitate the centralized cleaning of impurities later. In addition, the adapter assembly can significantly improve the installation convenience of longer water pipes and increase the space available for disassembly of the water pipes later, thereby reducing the difficulty of disassembly and maintenance.

[0043] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following:
