Those skilled in the art can readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] Example:

[0023] Refer to the attached Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an automobile water pipe connector reinforcement device of this embodiment includes two water pipes 1, one end of the two water pipes 1 is fixedly installed with a first connector 3 and a second connector 4, and the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 have the same specifications, wherein one end of the first connector 3 is integrally formed with a threaded sleeve, and the inner wall of the second connector 4 is processed with an internal thread, and the threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the second connector 4 through the internal thread. The threaded connection ensures the tightness and stability of the connection between the two water pipes 1. This connection method can effectively prevent the connection between the two water pipes 1 from loosening or leaking due to vibration or pressure.

[0024] Refer to the attached Figure 2 The reinforcement mechanism 2 between the two water pipes 1 includes a first clamping ring 201 and a second clamping ring 202. The first clamping ring 201 and the second clamping ring 202 have the same specifications, and their thickness is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the first connector 3 and the second connector 4. Their inner diameter is equal to the diameter of the first connector 3 and the second connector 4. The thickness and inner diameter of the first clamping ring 201 and the second clamping ring 202 match the first connector 3 and the second connector 4, ensuring the reinforcement effect while also ensuring the convenience of installation.

[0025] Refer to the attached Figure 2 and Figure 3 , annular limit baffles 203 are fixedly connected on both sides of the first snap ring 201 and the second snap ring 202, and the inner diameter of the annular limit baffle 203 is smaller than the diameters of the first connecting head 3 and the second connecting head 4, and positioning grooves 5 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the outer wall of the first connecting head 3 and the second connecting head 4, and a positioning protrusion 206 that is adapted to the positioning groove 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular limit baffle 203. The cooperation between the positioning groove 5 and the positioning protrusion 206 realizes the rapid cooperation between the first snap ring 201, the second snap ring 202, the first connecting head 3 and the second connecting head 4, thereby improving the installation efficiency and stability of the reinforcement device.
