The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides an inlet and outlet water connector, including a support component 1, which can be arbitrarily deformed; an inlet and outlet water pipe 2, which corresponds to the shape of the support component 1 one-to-one and can be arbitrarily deformed with the support component 1; one end of the inlet and outlet water pipe 2 is connected to an operating equipment, and the other end is inserted into the water or leaves the water; a shaping component 3, which wraps the support component 1 and the inlet and outlet water pipe 2, and the shape of the shaping component 3 corresponds to the shape of the support component 1 one-to-one.

[0047] Specifically, the shaping component 3 is made of thermal insulation foam material.

[0048] This utility model uses a pre-buried or internally tunneled method to insert a support component 1 and inlet and outlet pipes 2 into a custom-shaped component 3, forming a flexible, universal water inlet and outlet connector. Because one end of the connector can be directly inserted into the water pipe, users can easily control the connection between the inlet and outlet pipes and the device or equipment requiring heat exchange (such as a bathtub). This eliminates the difficulty of connecting and installing the inlet and outlet pipes during use, making it simple and convenient to operate and suitable for a wide range of applications.

[0049] In addition, the shaping parts can be made of insulating foam materials, such as polystyrene foam (EPS), extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), polyurethane foam (PU), polyethylene foam (PE), phenolic foam (PF), etc., as long as they can meet the characteristics of thermal insulation and can be bent arbitrarily.

[0050] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a first connecting component 4. After one end of the water inlet and outlet pipe 2 is connected to the first connecting component 4, it is inserted into the water or removed from the water.

[0051] Specifically, the first connecting component includes a locking ring 41, a first quick-connect body 42, a first connection port 43, and a guide cover 44. The locking ring 41 is connected to one end of the inlet and outlet pipes 2. The locking ring 41, the first quick-connect body 42, the first connection port 43, and the guide cover 44 are connected in sequence. Finally, the guide cover is fastened to guide the incoming water, creating a swirling flow inside the container. After the above components are connected, it is placed in water for heat exchange.

[0052] By using the above components, the inlet and outlet water pipes are fixed and protected, reducing the number of equipment maintenance times and improving work efficiency.

[0053] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment is provided. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a second connecting component 5. After the other end of the inlet and outlet water pipes 2 is connected to the second connecting component 5, it is connected to the operating equipment. The utility model connects the inlet and outlet water pipes to the operating equipment through the second connecting component, solving the problem of fixing the inlet and outlet water connector and the problem of connecting to the inlet and outlet water pipes inside the chiller.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown, the second connecting component 5 includes a base 51, a sealing ring 52, a fixing seat 53, and a first joint 54. The sealing ring 52 is connected to the base 51, and the fixing seat 53 is connected to the first joint 54.

[0055] Among them, the other end of the inlet and outlet water pipes 2 is connected to the base 51, and the base 51, the sealing ring 52, the fixing seat 53, and the first joint 54 are arranged in the operating equipment. The utility model is connected to the water inlet and outlet inside the operating equipment through the base, the sealing ring, the fixing seat, and the first joint. The first joint 54 links the base 51 with the internal pipeline of the chiller. The base 51 can be fixed in any direction of the chiller, and can be selected up and down, left and right, front and back, and any direction of the surface. It can be flexibly arranged in any direction of the chiller, making multi-angle selections for flexible layout of flexible pipelines.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting component also includes a connecting member 55, a second joint 56, a sealing plate 57, a locking mechanism 58, and a second connecting quick-plug body 59. The connecting member 55, the second joint 56, the sealing plate 57, the locking mechanism 58, and the second connecting quick-plug body 59 are connected in sequence; wherein, the connecting member 55 is connected to the base 51, and the second connecting quick-plug body 59 is connected to the other end of the inlet and outlet water pipes 2.

[0057] The present invention connects one end of the inlet and outlet connector to the base through the second quick-connect connector body by using the above-mentioned connector, the second joint, the sealing plate, the locking mechanism, and the second quick-connect connector body parts. Of course, a locking ring 510 can also be provided between the second quick-connect connector body and the inlet and outlet connector body to tightly combine the second quick-connect connector body with the inlet and outlet connector body. At the same time, a locking mechanism is used to fix the position of the inlet and outlet water pipes to ensure that the second quick-connect connector body is tightly combined with the inlet and outlet water pipes, the base and the connector, and the efficiency of the heat exchange is ensured. Specifically, the locking mechanism 58 can be a combination of a locking bracket 581, a spring lock 582, and a buckle 583, so that the second quick-connect connector body can be locked after being connected to the base to prevent it from loosening due to vibration. In addition, a conductive sheet 584 is also included, which supplies power to the submersible pump 45.

[0058] On the basis of the above embodiment, another embodiment is as follows: Figure 3 or Figure 6As shown, it also includes a clamping member 6, which is provided on the first connecting member 4 and is used to flexibly connect the inlet and outlet water pipes 2 to the operating equipment. The operating equipment is provided with a corresponding clamping member for flexibly connecting. The specific clamping member is selected to be a magnetically attracted claw, which is attracted to the clamping member on the operating equipment, such as an iron plate lock, so that the universal inlet and outlet water pipes can be fixed to one side of the operating equipment. Of course, there are other flexible connection methods that can be selected according to the actual application scenario.

[0059] When the inlet and outlet water pipes complete the cooling task, the end thereof inserted into the water can be removed from the water and movably connected to the corresponding fastener on the operating equipment through the clamp. When used again, it can be taken off the operating equipment and inserted into the water to achieve cooling of the water body. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0060] It also includes a submersible pump 45 and a submersible pump body 10. The submersible pump 45 is located between the locking clip 41 and the first connecting quick-plug body 42. The submersible pump 45 is connected to the submersible pump body 10 through the locking clip 41; the submersible pump body 10 corresponds to the shape of the support component 1 one by one and can be deformed arbitrarily with the support component 1. The shaping component wraps the submersible pump body, the support component, and the inlet and outlet water pipes.

[0061] A small submersible pump is connected to the second connector through the submersible pump body. Water flows through the connector and hose into the main submersible pump (in the chiller), ensuring normal startup of the main submersible pump. This eliminates the need for exhausting the chiller, which can be a common problem, and provides greater convenience. This device is suitable for use with existing bathtubs, volumetric equipment, or other devices, providing both hot and cold water without requiring any modification. It is simple to operate, convenient to use, and extremely user-friendly.

[0062] The utility model uses shaping components to make the keel bracket and the inlet and outlet water pipes into a whole, which is convenient for installation and carrying. At the same time, the shaping components are selected from plastics with thermal insulation properties. These materials are foamed by chemical or physical methods to form a porous structure, thereby providing good thermal insulation performance. While ensuring the cooling effect, it can also be bent and formed arbitrarily with the keel bracket and the inlet and outlet water pipes, ensuring that customers can use it in different places and expand the application scenarios.

[0063] The present invention also provides a water chiller device having a water inlet and outlet connection body, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it includes a water chiller 7 and the water inlet and outlet connector 8 provided above, one end of the water inlet and outlet connector 8 is connected to the water chiller 7, and the other end is inserted into or out of the water. Figure 7 As shown, one end of the water inlet and outlet connector 8 is inserted into or removed from the water tank of the bathtub 9.

[0064] Since the water inlet and outlet connecting body can be arbitrarily bent and formed, the customer can easily control the connection mode between the water inlet pipe, the water outlet pipe and the operation equipment and the application equipment. The cold water device provided by the utility model greatly avoids the difficulty in installation caused by the failure of water inlet and outlet pipeline connection during use, and has the advantages of simple use, no special installation, convenient operation and the like.

[0065] The water inlet and outlet connecting body is matched with the starting vacuum air pump in the cold water machine, and the air remaining in the water inlet pipe in the universal water inlet and outlet connecting body is discharged into the water outlet pipe before the main submersible pump of the cold water machine is started, so that a negative pressure environment is formed in the water inlet pipe, and the water in the volume equipment or device is automatically sucked into the inlet of the main submersible pump of the cold water machine, thereby providing conditions for normal starting of the main submersible pump, and then the main submersible pump starts to work normally, and the starting vacuum air pump stops running. Meanwhile, a small submersible pump can be used to connect with the second connector through the submersible pump pipe body, so that water enters the main submersible pump (in the cold water machine) through the connector and the hose, thereby providing conditions for normal starting of the main submersible pump, and the exhaust operation that may occur during use of the cold water machine by the customer can be omitted, thereby facilitating use of the customer. The exhaust scheme has the characteristics of quietness. Meanwhile, since the vacuum pump of the cold water machine is difficult to repair after being damaged, the cold water machine needs to be disassembled for repair. If the submersible pump in the water inlet and outlet connecting body is damaged, only a new water inlet and outlet connecting body needs to be configured for the cold water machine, and even if the vacuum pump of the cold water machine is not repaired, the normal exhaust of the cold water machine can be ensured through the submersible pump in the water inlet and outlet connecting body, thereby reducing the repair cost.

[0066] Through the above technical scheme, the water inlet and outlet connecting body and the cold water machine are integrated into one whole, and the user can conveniently install and use. The device of the cold water machine provided by the utility model is suitable for various bathtubs, volume equipment or devices, and can realize supply of cold water and hot water, and is simple to operate, convenient to use and very friendly to customers.
