[0024] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "plurality" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0025] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only used for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a connection structure of a water pipe connector, the connection structure of the water pipe connector, including a connector for connecting water pipes to each other, the connector including a main body 10 and a connector 20; the connector 20 is installed on the main body 10, the water path of the connector 20 is connected with the water path of the main body 10, the water flow in the water pipe can enter the main body 10 through the connector 20, and then enter another connector 20 through the main body 10, enter another water pipe through the connector 20, or enter the connector 20 through the water inlet hole below the main body 10. The number of connectors 20 is not limited, for example, four-way or five-way, can all use the connection structure of the present application; and a pressure sensor 14 is also installed on the column to detect water pressure.

[0027] Specifically, the connector 20 has an external thread 21, and the connector 20 is connected to the water pipe through the external thread 21. In the prior art, the water pipe and the connector 20 need to be connected through the external thread 21, while the present application directly makes the external thread 21 on the connector 20, so there is no need to add additional external thread 21 connectors when connecting to the water pipe, saving production resources and costs.

[0028] In addition, the outer edge of the connector 20 is provided with a hexagonal protrusion 22 , which is located between the connector 20 and the column. The user can insert a wrench into the hexagonal protrusion 22 to rotate the connector 20 , thereby facilitating screw installation.

[0029] In the first embodiment, the connector 20 is integrally mounted on the main body 10 , which facilitates the production of the connector.

[0030] In the second embodiment, the connector 20 is rotatably mounted on the main body 10. When the connector 20 needs to be screwed onto the water pipe, the water pipe and the connector 20 may be unable to rotate. At this time, the connector 20 with the external thread 21 cannot be installed on the water pipe. The rotatable connector 20 allows the user to first align the water pipe with the connector 20 and then rotate the connector 20, so that the external thread 21 can be screwed into the water pipe.

[0031] Based on the above structure, a snap ring 12 is integrally formed around the opening 11 of the main body 10 and the connecting head 20 on one side of the main body 10 close to the connecting head 20, and a first protrusion 121 is provided on the side wall of the snap ring 12; an annular groove 23 is provided around the water inlet of the connecting head 20 and the main body 10, and the snap ring 12 can be embedded in the annular groove 23, and the annular groove 23 has a second protrusion 231 extending along the inner wall of the annular groove 23. When installing, it is necessary to align the annular groove 23 of the connecting head 20 with the snap ring 12 and press it in. It should be noted that the materials of the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 231 are They should all be made of a material that can be deformed retroactively, such as plastic. When inserted, the inclined surfaces of the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 231 approaching each other will cause the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 231 to squeeze each other and accumulate elastic potential energy, so that the top heights of the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 231 become lower, so that the first protrusion 121 can enter the annular groove 23, and the side of the first protrusion 121 close to the main body 10 and the side of the second protrusion 231 close to the connecting head 20 abut against each other to ensure that the main body 10 and the connecting head 20 will not separate when they can rotate relative to each other.

[0032] Furthermore, a sealing ring 122 is installed on the side of the first protrusion 121 close to the main body 10, and the sealing ring 122 is in contact with the second protrusion 231. The second protrusion 231 and the first protrusion 121 will squeeze each other, so that the sealing ring 122 can fit more closely with the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 231, thereby increasing the sealing between the connector 20 and the main body 10 and preventing water leakage. In addition, when water flows from the main body 10 to the connector 20, the water flow will drive the connector 20 to be pushed away from the main body 10, so that the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 231 can fit more closely, resulting in a better sealing effect.

[0033] Further, the two sides of the first protrusion 121 have an angle α with the vertical line; the two sides of the second protrusion 231 have an angle β with the vertical line; the angle α> the angle β, so that the gap between the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 231 gradually decreases along the height direction of the first protrusion 121, so that the position of the sealing ring 122 becomes smaller, so that the sealing ring 122 is not easy to fall off, and the sealing ring 122 is further squeezed, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0034] Based on the improvement of the above structure, the part where the main body 10 and the connector 20 overlap is provided with an annular extension section 13, and the annular extension section 13 extends in the direction of the connector 20; the connector 20 is provided with an annular groove 24 that matches the annular extension section 13, and the side wall of the annular groove 24 is close to the annular extension section 13, such as Figure 3 As shown, the contact area between the main body 10 and the connector 20 can be further increased, which can effectively prevent water leakage at the connection between the main body 10 and the connector 20, and the end of the annular extension section 13 has an inclined surface 131 to further increase the contact area between the side wall of the annular groove 24 and the annular extension section 13.

[0035] The embodiment of the utility model further provides a water pipe connector, and a connector body having the connection structure of the water pipe connector mentioned above.

[0036] In the description of the present disclosure, it should be noted that the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present disclosure.

[0037] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are only for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, other changes or modifications may be made based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications are still within the scope of the present disclosure.
