DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The present invention is further described below through specific implementation methods.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a flexible water pipe adapter described in the utility model includes a flexible and hollow middle connecting pipe 1, a first side sleeve 2 and a second side sleeve 3, both ends of the middle connecting pipe 1 are fixed with a first annular connector 4, one end of the first side sleeve 2 and the second side sleeve 3 are fixed with a second annular connector 5, the first side sleeve 2 and the second side sleeve 3 are respectively detachably connected to the two ends of the middle connecting pipe 1 through the threaded connection between the first annular connector 4 and the second annular connector 5, the other ends of the first side sleeve 2 and the second side sleeve 3 are respectively detachably sleeved on the two water pipes that need to be connected and are respectively locked and fixed by fasteners 6.
[0024] Through the threaded connection between the first annular connector 4 and the second annular connector 5, it is convenient to realize the detachable connection between the first side sleeve 2 and the middle connecting pipe 1 and the second side sleeve 3 and the middle connecting pipe 1, thereby making the overall structure of the flexible water pipe adapter non-fixed and detachable. Therefore, it is only necessary to produce the first side sleeve 2 or the second side sleeve 3 of multiple different pipe diameters and the middle connecting pipe 1 of one maximum pipe diameter, which is beneficial to reduce the production quantity of required accessory models, and by adopting the first side sleeve 2 and the second side sleeve 3 of different pipe diameters to connect and combine with the two ends of the middle connecting pipe 1 respectively, the required flexible water pipe adapters of multiple different pipe diameter combinations can be combined, so that it can well adapt to the connection of two water pipes of various pipe diameter combinations, its use is more flexible, and it is beneficial to reduce the overall inventory quantity and production input cost of the manufacturer.
[0025] In addition, by adopting the flexible intermediate connecting pipe 1, it has a certain bending and deformation function, so even if there is a slight misalignment between the two water pipes to be connected, it will not affect the flexible water pipe adapter to stably connect and communicate the two water pipes.
[0026] For example, the diameters of the water pipes are 45cm, 50cm, 55cm, and 60cm. In this way, the combinations of the diameters of the two water pipes to be connected are as follows: 45cm-45cm, 45cm-50cm, 45cm-55cm, 45cm-60cm, 50cm-50cm, 50cm-55cm, 50cm-60cm, 55cm-55cm, 55cm-60cm, and 60cm-60cm. There are ten different combinations of pipe diameters. Therefore, for the water pipe adapter in the prior art, it is necessary to produce Ten different types of water pipe adapters are produced for backup, but in the present application, only one middle connecting pipe 1 with a diameter of 60 cm and four side sleeves with one end diameter of 45 cm, 50 cm, 55 cm and 60 cm need to be produced, and the side sleeves are divided into a first side sleeve 2 and a second side sleeve 3. Therefore, by combining and assembling the first side sleeve 2 and the second side sleeve 3 with different diameters and the middle connecting pipe 1, the required ten different types and different diameter combinations of flexible water pipe adapters can be combined.
[0027] An annular recessed hole 41 is provided in one end of the first annular connector 4, and an internal thread section 42 is provided on the inner surface of the annular recessed hole 41.

In addition, an annular sealing gasket 7 is provided between the first annular connector 4 and the second annular connector 5, which is beneficial to further ensure the sealing of the threaded connection between the first annular connector 4 and the second annular connector 5, making it less susceptible to water seepage.
[0028] In addition, a first annular insert 43 is fixedly provided at the other end of the first annular connector 4, and both ends of the intermediate connecting pipe 1 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the first annular insert 43 of the corresponding first annular connector 4, thereby facilitating further ensuring the stability of the connection between the intermediate connecting pipe 1 and the first annular connector 4, and a second annular insert 53 is fixedly provided at the other end of the second annular connector 5, and one end of the first side sleeve 2 and the second side sleeve 3 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the second annular insert 53 of the corresponding second annular connector 5, thereby facilitating further ensuring the stability of the connection between the first side sleeve 2 and the second annular connector 5 and between the second side sleeve 3 and the second annular connector 5. Accordingly, the intermediate connecting pipe 1 and the first annular connector 4, the first side sleeve 2 and the second annular connector 5, and the second side sleeve 3 and the second annular connector 5 can be fixed as a whole by vulcanization or bonding.
[0029] The fastener 6 is a fixing clamp. In addition, the first side sleeve 2 is provided with a first annular groove 21 matched with the fixing clamp on the outer surface of the end away from the intermediate connecting pipe 1, so that when in use, the fixing clamp can be clamped in the first annular groove 21, so as to facilitate more stably locking and fixing the first side sleeve 2 on the water pipe to be transferred. The second side sleeve 3 is provided with a second annular groove 31 matched with the fixing clamp on the outer surface of the end away from the intermediate connecting pipe 1, so as to facilitate more stably locking and fixing the second side sleeve 3 on the water pipe to be transferred.
[0030] The first side sleeve 2 and the second side sleeve 3 both include a water pipe connecting section 81, an inclined transition section 82 and a fixed connecting section 83 which are arranged in sequence.
