The above solution solves the problem that adding a hot water system to the water tank 101 to prevent the waterway pipe from freezing will increase the power consumption of the water tank 101. It can be understood that the above solution can be used in the scenario where the waterway pipe is not used in winter.
[0018] According to the present specific embodiment, the device for preventing the RV waterway from freezing and cracking in winter comprises a water tank 101 and a drainage mechanism 102, wherein the drainage mechanism 102 comprises a first connecting pipe 114, a first three-way switching valve 103, a water pump 104, a second connecting pipe 115, a second three-way switching valve 105, and a third connecting pipe 116; the first connecting pipe 114 is connected to the water tank 101 and is located at the top of the water tank 101, one way of the first three-way switching valve 103 is connected to the first connecting pipe 114 and is located on a side away from the water tank 101, and the other way of the first three-way switching valve 103 is connected to the first connecting pipe 114 and is located on a side away from the water tank 101. The water pump 104 is connected, the last route of the first three-way switching valve 103 is connected to the air, the second connecting pipe 115 is connected to the side of the water pump 104 away from the first three-way switching valve 103, one route of the second three-way switching valve 105 is connected to the side of the second connecting pipe 115 away from the water pump 104, the other route of the second three-way switching valve 105 is connected to the third connecting pipe 116, the last route of the second three-way switching valve 105 is used for water outlet, and the side of the second connecting pipe 115 away from the second three-way switching valve 105 is connected to the first connecting pipe 114. When the water tank 101 is used for water supply normally, the first three-way switching valve 103 connects the water pump 104 with the first connecting pipe 114, and the second three-way switching valve 105 connects the second connecting pipe 115 with the water outlet, and the water pump 104 discharges the water in the water tank 101 through the first connecting pipe 114 and the second connecting pipe 115 for use by the user. When the water needs to be emptied, the first three-way switching valve 103 connects the air to the water pump 104, and the second three-way switching valve 105 connects the second connecting pipe 115 with the third connecting pipe 116, and the water pump 104 discharges the air. Air is injected into the second connecting pipe 115, the second connecting pipe 115 and the second connecting pipe 115, so that the water in the three connecting pipes is pumped back into the water tank 101. At the same time, when the water in the water tank 101 needs to be drained, the water pump 104 continues to work, so that the air fills the entire water tank 101, and the water in the water tank 101 is discharged from the water outlet at the bottom thereof.

The handles 109 are used to increase the contact area between the rotating rod 108 and the hand, and the friction pads 110 can increase the friction between the handles 109 and the hand, thereby improving the force effect on the rotating rod 108.
[0021] Meanwhile, the drainage mechanism 102 further comprises a sealing ring 111, which is fixedly connected to the first connecting pipe 114 and is located at a side close to the water tank 101. The sealing ring 111 is used to increase the sealing performance between the T-shaped connecting pipe 106 and the water tank 101.
