[0002] As an indispensable household appliance in modern families, water heaters are used frequently and have strict requirements on safety and reliability. The existing water heater connection pipes are mainly composed of a main body, a cold water inlet pipe and a hot water outlet pipe, which are used to introduce tap water into the water heater for heating and transport the heated hot water to the point of use. However, in actual use, due to water pressure fluctuations or water outages, cold water is prone to flow back from the hot water pipe, which will not only cause the hot water in the hot water system to be diluted by cold water, reduce the hot water temperature, and affect the user experience, but also may damage the internal structure of the water heater due to the water hammer effect caused by the backflow, shortening the service life of the water heater.

[0003] In addition, medium backflow may also bring bacteria and other pollutants in the hot water system into the cold water pipeline, posing a threat to the safety of drinking water. Therefore, how to effectively prevent medium backflow and ensure the normal operation of the water heater system and the safety of users' water use has become an urgent problem to be solved in the current design of water heater connecting pipes.
