During long-term use, a large amount of impurities will accumulate in the water tanks and their pipelines, which will affect the water quality and cause blockages in the EMU water tanks, pipelines, and solenoid valves. In order to ensure the safety of drinking water for passengers and further implement the requirements that the water quality of the water tank outlet is free of hardening and impurities, and the water-using equipment operates normally without scale stagnation, it is necessary to deeply rinse and clean the scale in the water tank. At present, when using the upper water pipe to backwash the water tank from the bottom drain port of the EMU water tank upward, in order to prevent the problem of damage to equipment and personal safety caused by the inability to connect the upper water pipe and the bottom drain port of the EMU water tank during the backwashing process, a reducer is needed to connect them.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a reducer for flushing water pipes of a water tank, including a first joint 1 and a second joint 2. The inner diameters of the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 are different, and are used to connect water pipes of different diameters. One end of the two joints is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the other end is connected to the drain of the water tank to flush and clean the water tank. When connecting and disassembling, only a simple plug-in operation is required to achieve quick connection and quick disassembly between the water inlet pipe and the water tank, ensure the stability of the connection between the water inlet pipe and the drain of the water tank, avoid loose connection at the connection, and avoid the connection port falling off due to high pressure, causing personal injury to the operator and affecting the flushing effect.

[0042] The first inner cavity 11 in the first connector 1 is connected to the second inner cavity 21 in the second connector 2. The two have the same inner diameter and the ends are directly connected, that is, the first inner cavity 11 and the second inner cavity 21 have the same cross-sectional size, and the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are concentrically arranged.

[0043] The outer surface of the first joint 1 is provided with a plurality of first anti-skid teeth 12 along the radial direction to form a first anti-skid tooth array, and the outer surface of the second joint 2 is provided with a plurality of third anti-skid teeth 22 along the radial direction to form a third anti-skid tooth array. The outer diameter of the first anti-skid teeth 12 is a conical surface, which is arranged in an annular shape on the outer surface of the first joint 1, and the outer diameter of the first anti-skid teeth 12 gradually increases from the end to the middle connection. The outer diameter of the third anti-skid teeth 22 is a conical surface, which is arranged in an annular shape on the outer surface of the second joint 2, and the outer diameter of the third anti-skid teeth 22 gradually increases from the end to the middle connection. Two groups of anti-skid tooth arrays are provided on the surface of the two end joints, and when connected with the water pipe and / or the water tank drain, they contact with the inner wall to form a water-blocking structure to achieve sealing at the connection. The outer diameters of the first anti-skid teeth 12 and the third anti-skid teeth 22 at both ends gradually increase toward the middle, which is convenient for connection with the water pipe or the water tank drain.

When the water pipe or the water tank drain is connected, it is selected to be connected to the first joint 1 or the first sub-joint 13 according to its actual size. When connected to the first joint 1, the water pipe or the water tank drain is placed in the first outer cavity 15.

[0059] The second joint 2 is also provided with a second sub-joint 23, the bottom of which is connected to the other end of the connecting part 3, and is a tube with an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the second joint 2, and a length shorter than the second joint 2. The outer surface of the second sub-joint 23 is provided with a plurality of fourth anti-slip teeth 24 along the radial direction to form a fourth anti-slip tooth array, and the outer surface of the fourth anti-slip teeth 24 is a conical surface, which is arranged in an annular shape on the outer surface of the second sub-joint 23, and the outer diameter of the fourth anti-slip teeth 24 gradually increases from the end to the middle connection. An annular second outer cavity 25 is formed between the second sub-joint 23 and the outer surface of the second joint 2, and when the water pipe or the water tank drain is connected, it is selected to connect with the second joint 2 or the second sub-joint 23 according to its actual size, and when connected with the second joint 2, the water pipe or the water tank drain is placed in the second outer cavity 25.
