It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0052] A water pump connection structure, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , used for connecting the water pump body and the valve body, the water pump body includes a water pump connecting port 10, the valve body includes a valve connecting port 20, and the connection structure includes the valve connecting port 20, the water pump connecting port 10, a locking nut 30 and a pin 40: in the valve connecting port 20 and the water pump connecting port 10, one includes a two-stage external thread, and the other includes a first internal thread 11; the two-stage external thread includes a first external thread 21 and a second external thread 22 with opposite thread rotation directions and coaxially arranged, and the first external thread 21 is located on the outside of the water pump body; the first internal thread 11 is connected to the first external thread 21, and the locking nut 30 is connected to the second thread; the pin 40 is used to connect the locking nut 30 and the body component with the first internal thread 11.

[0053] By adopting the solution of the present application, the valve connecting port 20 and the water pump connecting port 10 are connected by a threaded structure, thereby improving the stability and sealing of the connection between the valve connecting port 20 and the water pump connecting port 10; since the first external thread 21 in the two-stage external thread is used to connect the first internal thread 11, and the second external thread 22 in the two-stage external thread is used to connect the locking nut 30, the locking nut 30 is fixed to the water pump body or the valve body by the pin 40, so that the locking nut 30 and the water pump body or the valve body no longer rotate relative to each other; and since the first external thread 21 and the second external thread 22 in the two-stage external thread have opposite thread rotation directions, after being fixed by the pin shaft, the locking nut 30, the water pump body and the valve body will no longer rotate relative to each other, that is, the connection stability and sealing of the locking nut 30, the water pump body and the valve body are enhanced, thereby reducing the probability of water leakage at the connection structure position and effectively improving the durability of the connection structure.

[0054] In the embodiment, the two-stage external thread in this solution can be located on the valve connection port 20, in which case the first internal thread 11 is located on the water pump connection port 10; the two-stage external thread can also be located on the water pump connection port 10, in which case the first internal thread 11 is located on the valve connection port 20. When the pin 40 is connected, it can connect the lock nut 30 and the water pump body; the pin 40 can also be used to connect the lock nut 30 and the valve body; the specific connection position of the pin 40 depends on whether the first internal thread 11 belongs to the valve body or the water pump body. Therefore, the body component with the first internal thread 11 means that: when the first internal thread 11 is on the valve body, the pin 40 is used to connect the lock nut 30 and the valve body; when the first internal thread 11 is on the water pump body, the pin 40 is used to connect the lock nut 30 and the water pump body.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The valve connection port 20 includes a two-stage external thread, and the water pump connection port 10 includes a first internal thread 11. The valve connection port 20 is located above the water pump connection port 10, and the pin 40 is used to connect the lock nut 30 to the water pump body. Thus, by placing the two-stage external thread at the valve connection port 20, the first internal thread 11 at the water pump connection port 10, and the valve connection port 20 above the water pump connection port 10, the lock nut 30 and the water pump body can be connected sequentially from top to bottom via the pin 40, facilitating the connection of the pin 40 while preventing the pin 40, with its thickened head structure, from slipping out, thereby improving the stability of the pin 40 after connection.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The locking nut 30 includes a first connecting portion, which is used to connect to one end of the pin 40. The water pump connection port 10 also includes a connecting lug 12, which has at least two connecting lugs and extends outward in the radial direction of the water pump connection port 10, and a second connecting hole. The connecting lug 12 is provided on the connecting lug 12 and is used to connect to the other end of the pin 40. In this way, by providing the first connecting portion on the locking nut 30, the first connecting portion is used to connect to one end of the pin 40; by providing the corresponding lug and second connecting hole on the water pump connection port 10, the second connecting hole is provided on the connecting lug 12, and the other end of the pin 40 is connected through the second connecting hole, thereby achieving the technical effect of simultaneously connecting the pin 40 to the locking nut 30 and the water pump connection port 10.

[0057] Specifically, when the pin 40 is connected to the water pump body, the pin 40 can be directly connected to the water pump connection port 10, or the pin 40 can be connected to other positions on the water pump body; when the pin 40 is directly connected to the water pump connection port 10, since the water pump connection port 10 is close to the locking nut 30, the length of the pin 40 extending out can be effectively reduced, thereby helping to reduce the complexity of the connection structure.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The pin 40 includes a connecting end 41 and a clamping end 42. The connecting end 41 is cylindrical; the clamping end 42 is T-shaped, and the vertical section of the T is perpendicular to and connected to the connecting end 41; the first connecting portion is also T-shaped, and the clamping end 42 extends into the first connecting portion. In this way, the clamping end 42 of the pin 40 is set in a T-shape, so that the cylindrical connecting end 41 of the pin 40 is perpendicular to the T-shaped clamping end 42. When the clamping end 42 is installed, the clamping end 42 is clamped into the first connecting portion, thereby increasing the clamping area between the clamping end 42 and the first connecting portion. When the clamping end 42 is tightly fitted, relative to the T-shaped structure of the entire pin 40, the structural setting of the present application increases the clamping area between the clamping end 42 and the first connecting portion, thereby increasing the friction between the clamping end 42 and the first connecting portion, effectively preventing the clamping end 42 from slipping out of the first connecting portion, thereby increasing the stability after the clamping end 42 is connected to the first connecting portion, and thus facilitating the improvement of the sealing performance of the connection structure.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first connection portion is located above the locking nut 30, and a clearance fit is formed between the first connection portion and the clamping end 42. Thus, by providing the first connection portion above the locking nut 30, the pin 40 can be installed from top to bottom, thereby effectively preventing the pin 40 from sliding off the first connection portion and increasing the stability of the connection structure.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are two connecting lugs 12, symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the water pump connection port 10, and each connecting lug 12 is provided with a second connection hole. This evenly distributed arrangement of connecting lugs 12 facilitates balanced force distribution on the water pump connection port 10, preventing excessive force on a single connecting lug 12, thereby increasing the durability of the connecting lugs 12.

[0061] In the embodiment, the number of second connection holes opened on a single connection lug 12 can also be adaptively adjusted; the connection lug 12 is rectangular, and the second connection hole is opened in the middle of the connection lug 12; the locking nut 30 is a hexagonal nut, and the first connection portion is located in the middle of two opposite sides of the hexagonal locking nut 30.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water pump body further includes a water pump inlet 60, the axial direction of which is perpendicular to the axial direction of the water pump connection port 10. The valve body further includes a valve outlet 70, the axial direction of which is perpendicular to the axial direction of the valve connection port 20. The pin 40 is used to connect and position the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70 when their axes are parallel. In this way, the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70 can serve as indicators when the water pump body is connected to the valve body. After the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70 are adjusted to be parallel in their axes, the pin 40 can be engaged to achieve the positioning of the water pump body and the valve body.

[0063] In the embodiment, when adjusting the directions of the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70, the axial directions of the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70 can be adjusted to be parallel. At the same time, the opening directions of the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70 can also be adjusted; for example, after the axial directions of the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70 are adjusted to be parallel, and the opening directions of the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70 are made the same, the pin 40 is inserted to fix the relative positions of the water pump body, the valve body and the locking nut 30.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connection structure also includes an O-shaped sealing ring 50 that surrounds the middle of the two-stage external thread. This arrangement of the sealing ring 50 in the middle of the two-stage external thread enhances the sealing between the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70, thereby reducing water leakage after the connection between the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6The two-stage external thread also includes a transition section 23, the two axial ends of which are connected to the first external thread 21 and the second external thread 22, respectively. The sealing ring 50 is sleeved on the transition section 23. The radial dimension of the first external thread 21 is smaller than that of the second external thread 22, and the pitch of the first external thread 21 is smaller than that of the second external thread 22. The provision of the transition section 23 facilitates the installation of the sealing ring 50, avoids the problem of the sealing ring 50 being easily damaged by being stuck on the thread structure, and improves the stability and durability of the connection structure after installation.

[0066] Specifically, the sealing ring 50 is an O-ring.

[0067] In some embodiments, the present solution also provides a water supply system, including a connection structure for a water pump.

[0068] Specifically, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 During installation, since the first external thread 21 and the second external thread 22 are both provided on the valve connection port 20, and the second connection hole and the connecting lug 12 are provided on the water pump connection port 10, the lock nut 30 is first sleeved on the second external thread 22, and the sealing ring 50 is sleeved on the transition section 23, and then the first external thread 21 is screwed into the first internal thread 11. Then, the opening direction and axial parallelism of the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70 are adjusted so that the opening directions of the water pump inlet 60 and the valve outlet 70 are the same and the axial directions of the two are parallel, and the first connection hole 31 is coaxial with the second connection hole on the connecting lug 12, and then the pin 40 is installed to complete the installation of the water pump connection structure.
