Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of faucets, and particularly relates to a pipeline connection structure. Background Art

[0002] In today's environment where people are increasingly concerned about the safety of domestic water, in order to avoid the pollution of domestic water caused by excessive lead content when the water is discharged, modern bathroom manufacturers have abandoned the traditional design of directly using the faucet as the final water diversion channel. Instead, they generally adopt a more advanced and safer method - adding a special faucet inner tube between the faucet's water inlet pipe and the water outlet for connection. This innovative design will ensure that the final water diversion process is completed by the faucet inner tube with a cleaner and extremely low risk of lead contamination, thereby providing users with a healthier and safer domestic water experience.

[0003] However, it cannot be ignored that since existing faucet bodies are usually cast in one piece of brass or zinc alloy, their internal structures are complex and varied, and different faucet bodies have certain differences in their internal structures, which makes it difficult for existing faucet inner tubes to directly adapt to various types of faucet bodies, which has certain limitations and is not conducive to installation.

The end of the connecting pipe 3 is pluggable at the plug interface 1 8, and the end of the water outlet pipe 4 is pluggable at the plug interface 2 9.

[0029] It should be noted that the connection between the connecting tube 3 and the connector 5 can be achieved by inserting the connecting tube 3 into the plug-in interface 8 through external force, and conversely, the connection between the connecting tube 3 and the connector 5 can be separated by pulling the connecting tube 3 out of the plug-in interface 8 through external force. The operation is simple, and the disassembly and assembly are convenient and quick.

[0030] Specifically, the inner wall of the plug interface 8 is provided with an annular groove 14, and the end of the connecting pipe 3 is provided with an annular flange 15. When the end of the connecting pipe 3 is inserted into the plug interface 8, the annular flange 15 can be snapped into the annular groove 14. The annular flange 15 and the annular groove 14 are snapped together to ensure the stability of the connection between the connecting pipe 3 and the connector 5.

[0031] It should be noted that the water outlet pipe 4 can be connected to the joint 5 by inserting the water outlet pipe 4 into the plug interface 9 through external force, and conversely, the water outlet pipe 4 can be pulled out from the plug interface 9 through external force to separate the water outlet pipe 4 from the joint 5.

[0033] The joint 5 is U-shaped and made of soft material, so the joint 5 can be deformed to a certain extent during the installation process to adapt to different installation angles, making it convenient for the installer to insert the connecting pipe 3 and the water outlet pipe 4 into the plug interface 1 8 and the plug interface 2 9 respectively.

[0034] The bubbler 7 is installed in the faucet body, the water outlet pipe 4 is passed through the faucet body and connected to the bubbler 7, the connecting pipe 3 and the water outlet pipe 4 are both made of soft materials. Since the connecting pipe 3 and the water outlet pipe 4 are both made of soft materials, the water outlet pipe 4 and the connecting pipe 3 can be bent according to the internal structure of the faucet body and change their own shapes to adapt to faucet bodies with different internal structures. It has a wide range of applications and is more convenient to install.

[0035] A second connection port 13 is provided on the bubbler 7, and the end of the water outlet pipe 4 is threadedly connected to the second connection port 13, that is, the water outlet pipe 4 and the bubbler 7 can be connected or the connection between the two can be released by rotating the water outlet pipe 4, which is simple to operate, convenient and quick to disassemble and assemble, and has high disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0036] Two installation grooves are provided in the faucet body, and the two ends of the joint 5 are respectively inserted into the corresponding installation grooves. The outer walls at both ends of the joint 5 are provided with limiting protrusions 18, and the installation groove is provided with limiting grooves matched with the limiting protrusions 18. The limiting protrusions 18 are inserted into the limiting grooves to improve the stability of the joint 5, ensure the relative position of the joint 5 and the faucet body is stable, and facilitate the installation of the joint 5.

[0037] Magnetic ring 19 is provided at both ends of the connector 5, and magnetic ring 2 is provided in the installation groove for cooperating with magnetic ring 19 for magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction force between magnetic ring 19 and magnetic ring 2 further ensures the stability of the connector 5 and prevents the connector 5 from falling off.

[0038] The installation method of the utility model is as follows:

[0039] During installation, first pass the water outlet pipe 4 through the faucet body to connect it with the bubbler 7, then complete the installation of the bubbler 7, then connect the water inlet pipe 1, the water inlet pipe 2 and the connecting pipe 3 to the valve seat 6, then install the valve seat 6 into the faucet body, and then connect the water outlet pipe 4 and the connecting pipe 3 to the connector 5. Finally, when installing the connector 5 to its predetermined position, first align the limiting protrusion 18 with the limiting groove, and then insert the two ends of the connector 5 into the corresponding installation grooves respectively until the magnetic ring 19 and the magnetic ring 2 cooperate with each other for magnetic attraction.
