[0033] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present utility model to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, details the specific implementation manners, structures, features and their effects of the application according to the present utility model. In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "embodiment" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, the specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0034] In the description of the present utility model, it should be clear that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present utility model and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence; the terms "vertical", "lateral", "longitudinal", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", "horizontal", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model, rather than meaning that the indicated device or element must have a specific orientation or position, so it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0035] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] The air conditioner drainage pipe refers to the pipe connecting the indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner, generally made of PVC material. According to national standards and industry specifications, the thickness of the air conditioner water pipe is generally between 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm, and the specific value should be determined according to the actual situation.

[0037] Such as Figures 6 - 8As shown in the figure, the existing drain pipe consists of two parts: a drain hose main body 1 and a drain connection pipe 2. One end of the drain hose main body 1 is installed on the air conditioner indoor unit, and the other end is butted with the drain connection pipe 2. The connecting socket lumen of the existing drain hose main body 1 has a conventional cylindrical opening. There are two card slots at the connecting socket of the drain hose main body 1. The installer directly inserts the drain connection pipe 2 into the drain hose main body 1, and the snap ring is snapped into the two card slots of the drain connection pipe 2 to achieve locking. During the installation process, it is easy to cause deformation of the connecting socket, affecting the docking effect. Moreover, due to the low groove depth height, the docking area between the two is small, and it is easy for the drain pipe plug joint to fall off. In order to ensure the tightness of the docking, the drain pipe joint position needs to be wrapped with insulating tape to prevent the drain pipe joint from falling off. However, the tape is prone to failure after a long time, and the condensed water flows out along the falling-off position after the drain pipe plug joint falls off, causing damage to the user's wall or furniture. In severe cases, abnormal conditions such as electrical sparking may even occur.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second plug connector 21 is inserted into the first plug connector 11. The rotation locking structure includes a spiral groove 111 formed on the inner hole wall of the first plug connector 11 and a spiral protrusion 211 formed on the outer wall of the second plug connector 21 and adapted to the spiral groove 111. During assembly, the spiral groove 111 on the inner hole wall of the first plug connector 11 is screwed with the spiral protrusion 211 on the outer wall of the second plug connector 21, so that the first plug connector 11 of the drainage hose body 1 is screwed and self-locked with the first plug connector 11 of the drainage connecting pipe 2, which can effectively solve the problem of loose connection of the air conditioner drainage pipe assembly and cause after-sales water leakage complaints; directly cancel the insulating tape, the drainage pipe assembly can be self-locked and will not fall off, avoiding the hidden danger of the drainage pipe assembly falling off and requiring manual reinstallation multiple times; simplifies the installation process, reduces the installation difficulty and installation cost of the installation workers, and is convenient for subsequent replacement of the drainage pipe assembly.

[0053] In some embodiments, at least two corrugated grooves 112 are formed on the inner hole wall of the first plug connector 11 and are spaced along the axial direction of the drainage hose body 1. A clamping protrusion 212 adapted to the corrugated groove 112 is formed on the outer wall of the second plug connector 21. Both of the two corrugated grooves 112 are located on the side of the spiral groove 111 away from the drainage connecting pipe 2.

[0055] Preferably, the clamping protrusion 212 is clamped in the corrugated groove 112 farthest from the drainage connection pipe 2, which helps to prevent it from being pulled out easily when stressed. Even when the threaded connection fails and the clamping protrusion 212 disengages from the corrugated groove 112 farthest from the drainage connection pipe 2, the other corrugated grooves 112 will continue to lock the clamping protrusion 212.

[0056] The corrugated groove 112 and the adjacent corrugated grooves 112 can be further fixed with wire ties, which further improves the docking stability, avoids the potential hazard of the disconnection between the drain pipe components and the need for manual reinstallation multiple times, and prevents water leakage.

The installation process is simplified, the installation difficulty and cost of the installation workers are reduced, and it is convenient to replace the drain pipe components subsequently.

[0062] Preferably, the clamping protrusion 212 is clamped in the corrugated groove 112 farthest from the drain hose body 1, which helps to prevent it from being pulled out easily when stressed.
