[0026] For the purpose of illustration, some exemplary embodiments of the present utility model are described. It should be understood that the present utility model can be implemented in other ways not specifically shown in the drawings.
[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the flushing joint assembly of the present utility model includes a pipeline assembly 10 and a flushing joint 20. The pipeline assembly 10 and the flushing joint 20 are detachably connected through a connection structure. When the pipeline assembly 10 needs to be flushed, the flushing joint 20 is connected to the pipeline assembly 10. When the pipeline assembly 10 normally outputs liquid, the flushing joint 20 is removed from the pipeline assembly 10.
[0028] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, the pipeline assembly 10 includes a base 13 and at least a pair of pipes. At least a pair of pipes are arranged on the base 13 and penetrate the base 13, so that the liquid flowing in at least a pair of pipes can flow from one side of the base 13 to the other side. In the embodiment of the present utility model, the base 13 is a plate. In other embodiments, the base 13 can also be of other shapes.
[0029] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, in the embodiment of the present utility model, the pipeline assembly 10 includes a plurality of pairs of pipes and is arranged in a form roughly divided into two groups. In other embodiments, the pipeline assembly 10 including at least a pair of pipes can cooperate with the flushing joint 20 of the present utility model.
[0030] As Figures 1 - 2 and <9000073>As shown, each pair of tubes includes a first tube 11 and a second tube 12. When the pipeline assembly 10 normally outputs liquid, the liquid in both the first tube 11 and the second tube 12 flows from one side of the base 13 to the other side. When the pipeline assembly 10 needs to be flushed, a flushing joint 20 is connected to the pipeline assembly 10, so that the first tube 11 and the second tube 12 are connected in series. The cleaning liquid (for example, water) can flow through the first tube 11 and then into the flushing joint 20, and then into the second tube 12, thereby cleaning a pair of tubes at one time. In other embodiments, the cleaning liquid (for example, water) can flow through the second tube 12 and then into the flushing joint 20, and then into the first tube 11, thereby cleaning a pair of tubes at one time.
[0031] As Figures 1 - 2 shown, the connection structure includes a first hole 14 and a second hole 15. The first hole 14 and the second hole 15 are provided on both sides of the base 13 of at least a pair of tubes and penetrate through the base 13. Threads are provided on the circumferential wall surfaces of the first hole 14 and the second hole 15, thereby forming internal threads for cooperating with the flushing joint 20 to form a detachable connection.
[0032] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the flushing joint 20 is generally a cuboid. At least one groove 21 is provided on the flushing joint 20. Each groove 21 is correspondingly arranged with a pair of tubes, so that when the pipeline assembly 10 and the flushing joint 20 are connected together, the groove 21 can communicate with its corresponding pair of tubes. As described above, the groove 21 can communicate with the first tube 11 and the second tube 12 in its corresponding pair of tubes. Each groove 21 is recessed from the outer surface of the flushing joint 20 and can accommodate at least a part of its corresponding first tube 11 and at least a part of the second tube 12.
[0033] As Figure 3 shown, when at least two grooves 21 are provided on the flushing joint 20, at least two grooves 21 are both recessed from the same outer surface of the flushing joint 20. In the present utility model, each groove 21 is recessed from the upper surface of the flushing joint 20.
[0034] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the circumferential dimension of each groove 21 is larger than the outer dimensions of the first tube 11 and the second tube 12, so that at least a part of the first tube 11 and at least a part of the second tube 12 can be accommodated in its corresponding groove 21.
[0035] As Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the connection structure includes a first post 22 and a second post 23. The first post 22 and the second post 23 are provided on the flushing joint 20. Threads are provided on the circumferential wall surfaces of the first post 22 and the second post 23, thereby forming external threads for mating with the internal threads of the first hole 14 and the second hole 15, thus forming a detachable connection.
[0036] As Figure 1 and Figures 3 - 4 shown, the first post 22 is connected to the first knob 24, and the second post 23 is connected to the second knob 25. Thus, when the first knob 24 rotates, the first post 22 also rotates, and when the second knob 25 rotates, the second post 23 also rotates. The external threads of the first knob 24 and the first post 22 are provided on opposite sides of the flushing joint 20, and the external threads of the second knob 25 are provided on opposite sides of the flushing joint 20. The user can rotate the first post 22 and the second post 23 by rotating the first knob 24 and the second knob 25, thereby connecting or disconnecting the base 13 and the flushing joint 20.
[0037] In the embodiments of the present utility model, the number of posts and knobs is correspondingly set, and the number of external threads and internal threads is correspondingly set. In other embodiments, at least one post and the knobs, external threads, and internal threads corresponding to its number are sufficient.
[0038] As Figure 1 and Figures 3 - 4 shown, the flushing joint assembly further includes a hand-held rod 26. The hand-held rod 26 is connected to the flushing joint 20, so that the user can well hold the flushing joint 20 in place during the process of connecting the pipe assembly 10 and the flushing joint 20. The hand-held rod 26 and the external threads are provided on opposite sides of the flushing joint 20.
[0039] The flushing joint assembly of the present utility model has at least the following advantages:
[0040] First, the flushing joint assembly of the present utility model has a simple structure and is convenient to install.
[0041] Second, the flushing joint assembly of the present utility model can clean at least a pair of pipes at a time, improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0042] Third, the flushing joint assembly of the present utility model can save the consumption of cleaning agents (such as disinfectants, descaling agents, clean water, etc.) because the cleaning agent flushed at one time can clean more pipes.
[0043] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present utility model should still be covered by the claims of the present utility model.
