A connecting assembly for driving the water guide valve 305 to rotate is arranged between the valve knob 306 and the water guide valve 305. In order to ensure the sealing performance, a sealing member is arranged between the valve knob 306 and the auxiliary water supply interface 301. In this embodiment, the sealing member is two sealing rings sleeved in the gap between the valve knob 306 and the auxiliary water supply interface 301.
[0030] The connecting component includes an arc-shaped groove 7 provided on the auxiliary water supply interface 301, and a connecting piece 8 installed between the valve knob 306 and the water guide valve 305, and the connecting piece 8 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 7. In the present embodiment, there are two arc-shaped grooves 7. A first through hole 4 is provided at a position near the bottom end of the water guide valve 305. A second through hole 5 corresponding to the first through hole 4 is provided in the auxiliary water supply interface 301. The valve knob 306 is rotated to drive the water guide valve 305 to rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the position of the first through hole 4, controlling the overlap between the first through hole 4 and the second through hole 5, and realizing the control of the water flow.

[0033] The one-way valve 304 is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the auxiliary water supply interface 301. After the water supply nut 302 is threadedly connected with the top end of the interface seat 2, the lower end of the auxiliary water supply interface 301, the interface positioning member 303 and the one-way valve 304 are inserted into the interface seat 2. In this embodiment, the one-way valve 304 is made of silicone. The one-way valve 304 and the auxiliary water supply interface 301 are bonded together by glue. The one-way valve 304 is provided with a gap. When the water pump delivers water, the external pressure is greater than the lens of the endoscope. Internal pressure, so the gap will open to let the liquid pass smoothly. When the water pump is not used to deliver water, the internal pressure is greater than the external pressure, which will squeeze the gap to prevent the liquid from flowing back. An auxiliary water supply cap 12 is sleeved on the upper end of the interface seat 2, and the auxiliary water supply cap 12 can rotate in the circumferential direction of the interface seat 2. When the endoscope needs to be cleaned, the interface component 3 can be removed from the interface seat 2 to expose the auxiliary water supply port for cleaning with tools such as a brush.

By controlling the overlap between the first through hole 4 and the second through hole 5, a large water flow can be achieved. With a small control, after the auxiliary water supply nut 302 is sleeved onto the auxiliary water supply interface 301, the interface positioning piece 303 is fixed to the lower end of the auxiliary water supply interface 301 to limit the auxiliary water supply nut 302 from coming out of the lower end of the auxiliary water supply interface 301, and the one-way valve 304 is fixedly installed to the bottom through hole position of the auxiliary water supply interface 301 with glue. The one-way valve 304 is made of silicone material, and the one-way valve 304 can prevent the liquid from flowing back. Finally, the lower end of the interface assembly 3 is inserted into the interface seat 2, and the auxiliary water supply nut 302 is rotated to make it threadedly connected with the top end of the interface seat 2 to complete the installation.
