[0007] Two side seats are symmetrically arranged on the connecting pipe, and a limiting hole is formed in the side seat.

[0008] Two limiting seats are symmetrically fixed on the flange body, a limiting column is penetratingly arranged on the limiting seat, and a limiting plate is fixed at one end of the limiting column.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the side seat is welded on the surface of the connecting pipe.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the internal thread and the external thread are both sprayed with an anti-rust coating.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the limiting column away from the limiting plate is wedge-shaped and is rounded.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a return spring is sleeved on the limiting column, one end of the return spring is fixed on the limiting plate, and the other end of the return spring is fixed on the limiting seat.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the side seat edge is rounded, so that the side seat edge and the connecting pipe connecting part are curved surfaces.

[0014] The utility model discloses beneficial effect:

[0015] When using, staff only needs to insert the head with external thread of connecting pipe to the center of flange body, and when connecting pipe meets the limiting column, the limiting column will move, at this time, the reset spring is compressed, and rotating the connecting pipe makes the flange body and the connecting pipe be connected together through thread, when the limiting column and the limiting hole are located in the same plane, the limiting column enters the inside of the limiting hole under the action of reset spring, and the operation is simple and convenient, and the connecting strength between the flange body and the connecting pipe is greatly improved.

[0016] And under the action of reset spring, the connection between the flange body and the connecting pipe has high self-locking, which avoids the connection loosening of the flange body and the connecting pipe when using. DRAWINGS
