The first sealing ring 3 ensures a tight seal between the plug pipe 2 and the main pipe 1. The length of the plug pipe 2, installation pipe 4, threaded rod 6 and first nut 8 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to realize the expansion and contraction of the pipe connector, which is more flexible and reduces the difficulty of construction. The second sealing ring 9 enhances the sealing performance of the connection between the installation pipe 4 and the pipe body 10.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the fixing structure 11 further includes two mounting posts 1101 symmetrically fixed on the connecting ring 7, a lower retainer 1102 installed between the two mounting posts 1101, and a second nut 1103 threaded to the outer end of each of the two mounting posts 1101. The lower retainer 1102 is connected to an upper retaining ring 1104 by a bolt assembly; this allows for a firm fixation of the pipe body 10, while facilitating installation and disassembly, thus improving the flexibility and ease of use of the pipe connector.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the adjustable support structure 12 further includes a support block 1201 fixed at the center of the main tube 1. Threaded posts 1202 are installed at both ends of the bottom of the support block 1201. A base plate 1203 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the threaded posts 1202. Two third nuts 1204 are threadedly connected to the threaded posts 1202. By adjusting the position of the third nuts 1204, the height of the support block 1201 can be adjusted, which can support the pipe connector and ensure its stability.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the number of first sealing rings 3 is two and the number of second sealing rings 9 is three; multiple sealing guarantees are provided to ensure that the connector maintains good sealing performance under various operating conditions.

[0038] Specifically, when using the telescopic pipe connector in this water conservancy project: when the length of the pipe connector needs to be adjusted, rotate the two first nuts 8 away from the mounting ring 5, then pull the mounting pipe 4 and the plug 2 outward to the appropriate length and stop. Rotate the first nuts 8 towards the mounting ring 5 to adjust the telescopic extension of the mounting pipe 4. Insert the pipe body 10 into the outer end of the mounting pipe 4 and make the end of the pipe body 10 contact the sealing gasket 15. Then, snap the upper retaining ring 1104 onto the pipe body 10. Then, use the bolt assembly to connect the upper retaining ring 1104 to the lower retaining seat 1102. Then, by adjusting the position of the third nut 1204, adjust the position of the threaded post 1202 and the base plate 1203 so that the base plate 1203 contacts the ground. Then, tighten the third nut 1204 and fix the base plate 1203 to the ground with ground nails, thereby supporting the pipe connector.

[0039] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0040] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
