[0020] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] like Figs. 1-4As shown, a water inlet prevention device includes an air outlet end 1 and a gas supply end 2, the air outlet end 1 and one end of the gas supply end 2 are communicated with the user pipeline and the gas supply pipeline through flanges respectively, and the other end is detachably connected through a straight pipe 3. The straight pipe 3 includes a first straight pipe 3 and a second straight pipe 3, the first straight pipe 3 is integrated with the air outlet end 1 and is provided with an external thread 11 near one end of the gas supply end 2. The second straight pipe 3 is integrated with the gas supply end 2 and is provided with an internal thread 21 matched with the external thread 11 near one end of the air outlet end 1. When the first straight pipe 3 and the second straight pipe 3 are assembled, sealing glue can be added at the connection to improve the sealing performance of the assembly. The straight pipe 3 is provided with a plastic ball 4 which can roll in the straight pipe 3. The free installation and removal of the gas supply end 2 and the air outlet end 1 facilitate the replacement of the aging and worn plastic ball 4 or the discharge of water flowing into the pipeline. The straight pipe 3 is provided with a polygonal protrusion 31 which facilitates the manual or tool operation of clamping and rotating the air outlet end 1 and the gas supply end 2 relative to each other.

[0023] The air outlet end 1 is provided with an expansion chamber 15 which is communicated with the straight pipe 3 through a second taper pipe 14. The diameter of the device is transitioned from the smaller diameter of the straight pipe 3 to the larger diameter of the expansion chamber 15 through the second taper pipe 14, which facilitates the plastic ball 4 to enter the expansion chamber 15 and return to the straight pipe 3 under the action of the pressure difference between the two sides. The second taper pipe 14 promotes the plastic ball 4 to be coaxial with the straight pipe 3, which facilitates the plastic ball 4 to enter the straight pipe 3 and prevents the plastic ball 4 from being stuck at the edge of the expansion chamber 15.

[0024] The baffle 12 is arranged in the expansion cavity 15, and a plurality of through holes are arranged on the baffle 12 in an array. When the plastic ball 4 enters the expansion cavity 15, the baffle 12 limits the plastic ball 4 from continuing to advance, and gas can pass through the baffle 12 when passing through the through holes. The baffle 12 is in a conical shape, and the middle part of the baffle 12 extends away from the straight pipe 3. The through holes on the conical baffle 12 have a larger area, which is beneficial to gas ventilation and improves the efficiency of gas ventilation, and facilitates the plastic ball 4 to return to the middle part of the baffle. The middle part of the baffle 12 is provided with a circular hole 122, and the diameter of the circular hole 122 is smaller than the diameter of the plastic ball 4. During normal ventilation, when the plastic ball 4 is embedded in the circular hole 122, the plastic ball 4 does not randomly roll in the expansion cavity 15, thereby reducing the wear of the plastic ball 4 and prolonging the service life of the plastic ball 4. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 123 are arranged on the surface of the baffle 12 close to the plastic ball 4 in a circumferential direction and are uniformly spaced. The reinforcing ribs 123 can improve the anti-deformation ability of the baffle 12, limit the movement of the plastic ball 4 on the plane of the baffle 12, and play a guiding role for the plastic ball 4. One end of the reinforcing rib 123 close to the inner wall of the gas outlet end 1 is provided with a round corner 124 matched with the plastic ball 4. When the plastic ball 4 cooperates with the round corner 124, the plastic ball 4 has not been completely embedded in the circular hole 122, and the gas can pass through the circular hole 122, thereby limiting the random movement of the plastic ball 4 while improving the efficiency of gas ventilation. The expansion cavity 15 is provided with a first tapered pipe 13 away from the straight pipe 3, and the expansion cavity 15 is connected with an external pipeline through the first tapered pipe 13. The gas enters the expansion cavity 15 with a larger pipe diameter, and the flow rate is slowed down. The first tapered pipe 13 gradually shrinks the pipe diameter of the device from the expansion cavity 15 to the flange end, so that the gas flow rate is restored to the flow rate before entering the expansion cavity 15.

[0025] The gas supply end 2 is provided with a profiling cavity 22 matched with the plastic ball 4. When the water body backflows occurs in the gas outlet end 1, the plastic ball 4 passes through the straight pipe 3 and cooperates with the profiling cavity 22, and the gas supply end 2 is closed. In this way, the water body is prevented from further backflowing into the gas supply pipeline. The profiling cavity 22 is provided with a third tapered pipe 23 away from the straight pipe 3, and the profiling cavity 22 is connected with an external pipeline through the third tapered pipe 23. The gas uniformly diffuses into the gas supply end 2 through the third tapered pipe 23, and the gas flow is stable.

[0026] The working principle of the specific implementation mode of the utility model is as follows: the polygonal convex block 31 is clamped, and the gas outlet end 1 and the gas supply end 2 are relatively screwed into the spiral, and then the gas outlet end 1 and the gas supply end 2 are respectively connected to the user pipeline and the gas supply pipeline through the flanges. During normal gas supply, the gas flows into the gas supply end 2, and the plastic ball 4 rolls along the straight pipe 3 under the action of the gas pressure, enters the expansion cavity 15, the gas passes through the through hole 121 and the circular hole 122, and finally flows out from the gas outlet end 1. When the water body backflows occurs in the gas outlet end 1, the water body passes through the baffle 12, and the plastic ball 4 returns to the gas supply end 2 along the straight pipe 3 under the action of the water pressure and cooperates with the profiling cavity 22, so that the gas supply end 2 is disconnected from the gas supply pipeline, thereby preventing the water body from further flowing into the gas supply pipeline.

When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements can also be present.

Although the present application has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application, and any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above disclosed technical content to make equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, as long as they do not deviate from the technical solution of the present application.
