TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of diving breathing tube structure, in particular to a diving breathing tube structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The diving breathing tube is one of the core equipment when snorkeling or free diving, which provides a water surface breathing passage for the user to avoid frequent head-up breathing. The diving breathing tubes on the market are mainly divided into three types: dry type, semi-dry type and wet type. Among them, the semi-dry type breathing tube becomes the mainstream choice because it has both wave prevention and drainage functions. However, the existing technology still has the following defects:
[0003] In the prior art, the upper drainage wave prevention head is mostly made of hard plastic (such as ABS, PVC), which has a certain wave prevention effect, but the material is hard and can easily scratch the user's face during use, which poses a safety hazard.
[0004] Moreover, the upper drainage structure is directly connected with the long tube without setting an additional drainage port, which only relies on the wave prevention sheet to block seawater. When encountering a large wave impact or rapid movement, seawater is easy to flow into the tube through the gap between the wave prevention sheets, which leads to the risk of water choking.
[0005] In addition, the soft tube of the diving breathing tube in the prior art is mostly made of a single soft material (such as silicone or soft PVC), which can be bent to adapt to different face shapes, but is easy to deform under deep water pressure or external pressure, which leads to a decrease in air volume, and even completely blocks the airway. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0028] In order to make the purposes, characteristics and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a structural schematic diagram of a snorkel structure provided by the present application.
[0030] A snorkel structure includes an upper drainage assembly, a long tube 2, a lower drainage assembly, a universal tube 1, and a mouthpiece 6 connected in sequence, the upper drainage assembly includes a wave-preventing head 3, an upper drainage main body 4, and a drainage port 5, the upper drainage main body is tubular and is connected with the wave-preventing head 3 and the long tube 2 respectively, and the side wall of the upper drainage main body is provided with the drainage port 5; the universal tube 1 includes an inner layer structure and an outer layer structure, the inner layer structure includes a segmented skeleton, and the outer layer structure is coated on the surface of the inner layer; the inner layer structure and the outer layer structure form a lumen and are connected with the long tube 2 and the lower drainage assembly respectively.
[0031] It should be noted that the upper drainage assembly is the top structure of the snorkel and is composed of two parts, the wave-preventing head 3 and the upper drainage main body 4. The wave-preventing head 3 is located at the uppermost end, and its main function is to prevent sea waves, splashes or other external water bodies from entering the tube to avoid the diver from choking on water when breathing. The wave-preventing head 3 is usually designed in a streamlined or other form of water-blocking structure, which can effectively block the intrusion of water. The upper drainage main body 4 is connected with the wave-preventing head 3, and the inside is provided with the drainage port 5. The function of the drainage port 5 is to quickly drain the water that may enter the tube, ensuring that the inside of the snorkel is always dry and unobstructed. This design not only improves the breathing efficiency, but also reduces the frequency of manual drainage required by the diver, improving the use experience.
[0032] It should be noted that the long tube 2 is the main part connecting the upper drainage assembly and the lower drainage assembly, responsible for transmitting air to the diver's mouth. The length of the long tube 2 is usually designed according to the diving depth and use requirements, neither too long to increase the breathing resistance, nor too short to affect the activity range of the diver. The material of the long tube 2 is usually selected to be light and durable, which can maintain stability in water without adding extra burden.
[0033] It should be noted that the universal pipe 1 is located at one end of the long pipe 2 close to the mouthpiece 6, and has the characteristics of flexible adjustment. The function of the universal pipe 1 is to allow the diver to adjust the angle of the breathing pipe according to individual needs, so that it is more in line with the use habit. Whether it is the change of the position of the head or the need of underwater activity, the universal pipe 1 of the embodiment can provide sufficient flexibility to ensure that the breathing pipe is always in the best position. The universal pipe 1 is in communication with the long pipe 2 and the lower drainage assembly, ensuring that the air flow is not hindered, while maintaining the stability of the structure.
[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, a diving breathing pipe structure includes an upper drainage assembly, a long pipe 2, a lower drainage assembly, a universal pipe 1, and a mouthpiece 6 in sequence, the upper drainage assembly includes a wave-resistant head 3, an upper drainage body 4 and a drainage port 5, the upper drainage body is tubular and is connected to the wave-resistant head 3 and the long pipe 2 respectively, and the side wall of the upper drainage body is provided with the drainage port 5; the universal pipe 1 includes an inner layer structure and an outer layer structure, the inner layer structure includes a segmented skeleton, and the outer layer structure is coated on the surface of the inner layer; the inner layer structure and the outer layer structure form a pipe cavity and are connected to the long pipe 2 and the lower drainage assembly respectively. The diving breathing pipe provided by the present application solves the problems of traditional breathing pipes, such as the wave-resistant head 3 being easy to scratch the face, the upper drainage structure being easy to cause water inhalation, and the soft pipe being easy to deform under deep water pressure, by setting the upper drainage assembly and the universal pipe 1. The upper drainage assembly is provided with the drainage port 5, which effectively drains water and reduces the risk of water inhalation; the universal pipe 1 enhances the flexibility of the breathing pipe and adapts to different head postures; the overall structure optimization ensures the stability of the ventilation volume in the deep water environment, and improves the safety, comfort and user experience.
[0035] In the following, a diving breathing pipe structure in the present exemplary embodiment will be further described, and specific reference can be made to Figures 1-2 .
[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, the hard material in the universal pipe 1 is polypropylene or polycarbonate, and the soft material is thermoplastic elastomer or silicone. The universal pipe 1 includes an inner layer structure and an outer layer structure, the inner layer structure is made of hard material or soft and hard composite material, the outer layer structure is made of soft material, and the wave-resistant head 3 is made of elastic material. The inside of the diving breathing pipe is provided with an antibacterial coating, which is a silver ion coating or a nano titanium dioxide coating. The thickness of the mouthpiece 6 gradually thins from the biting part to the connecting part, and the inner wall of the mouthpiece 6 is coated with an antibacterial coating.
[0037] It should be noted that the inner layer of the universal pipe 1 can be made of hard material or soft and hard composite material, with smooth inner wall and moderate diameter (preferably in the range of 15-30 mm) to effectively reduce the resistance of fluid passing through. This design ensures smooth flow of gas or liquid. Preferably, the inside of the universal pipe 1 can be embedded with a spiral metal or plastic skeleton, or use a segmented support structure, which can maintain shape stability after bending. This feature ensures that the universal pipe 1 does not collapse or deform when bent, maintaining the smoothness of the internal passage, suitable for scenarios that require stable gas or liquid flow. The outer layer of the universal pipe 1 is usually made of soft and durable material (such as TPE, silicone or soft PVC), with anti-tear and anti-aging properties. Even after repeated bending, stretching or exposure to harsh environments (such as UV light, seawater or high temperature), the universal pipe 1 can maintain its functionality and appearance integrity, with long service life.
[0038] It should be noted that the outer layer of the universal pipe 1 can be designed with various colors and textures through double-color injection molding process or surface coating, thereby improving the product aesthetics. In addition, the size, shape and function of the universal pipe 1 can be customized according to user needs, which are not limited in the present embodiment.
[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, the lower drainage assembly includes a water valve 8 connector 7, a water valve 8, a water valve 8 cover and a valve piece; the water valve 8 connector 7 is detachably connected with the water valve 8 cover; the water valve 8 connector 7 and the universal pipe 1 are in communication; the end of the water valve 8 connector 7 away from the universal pipe 1 is provided with the mouthpiece 6, and the water valve 8 is arranged between the mouthpiece 6 and the water valve 8 connector 7. The water valve 8 and the water valve 8 cover are made of polycarbonate or polypropylene material, and the valve piece is made of silicone material.
[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, a sealing assembly is further included, which is arranged at the connection between the universal pipe 1 and the long pipe 2, and the connection between the universal pipe 1 and the lower drainage assembly. The sealing assembly includes a rotating clasp 10 and a plurality of sealing rings 11; the connection between the universal pipe 1 and the long pipe 2 is detachably connected through the rotating clasp 10 and the sealing rings 11; the connection between the universal pipe 1 and the lower drainage assembly is detachably connected through the rotating clasp 10 and the sealing rings 11.
[0041] It should be noted that the water valve 8 connector 7 is made of high-strength hard plastic (such as polycarbonate PC or ABS), which ensures the stability and pressure resistance of the connection. The inner wall of the connector is provided with an annular groove or thread structure for fixing the sealing ring 11 and the rotating clasp 10.
[0042] It should be noted that the main function of the lower water drainage assembly is to control the inflow and outflow of water, prevent water from entering the breathing tube, and ensure that the user can breathe smoothly. The sealing assembly is responsible for ensuring the sealing of each connection (such as the universal tube 1 and the long tube 2, the universal tube 1 and the lower water drainage assembly), preventing water from seeping into the connection.
[0043] It should be noted that the end of the universal tube 1 is connected to the water valve 8 connector 7 of the lower water drainage assembly through the rotating clasp 10. Multiple layers of sealing rings 11 are provided inside the connection to ensure the sealing of the connection. The design of the rotating clasp 10 allows the connection to be quickly disassembled and assembled, facilitating maintenance and cleaning. The end of the water valve 8 connector 7 is connected to the mouthpiece 6, and the connection is also sealed by the rotating clasp 10 and multiple layers of sealing rings 11. The water valve 8 and valve inside the water valve 8 connector 7 work together with the sealing ring 11 of the sealing assembly to ensure that there is no water leakage when the water valve 8 is opened and closed.
[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, a carabiner 12 is also included, which is fixedly connected to the long tube 2 or the upper water drainage assembly.
[0045] It should be noted that the carabiner 12 can be fixed to the long tube 2 or the upper water drainage assembly of the breathing tube by means of buckling or threaded connection. The user can hang the carabiner 12 on the strap of the diving mask to prevent the breathing tube from accidentally falling off or being lost during use. When diving or snorkeling, the breathing tube may sway due to water flow or user movement. The fixing effect of the carabiner 12 can effectively reduce this sway and improve the stability of use.
[0046] It should be noted that the carabiner 12 can be made of lightweight and durable materials such as polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), or nylon. These materials have excellent corrosion resistance and anti-aging properties, and can adapt to harsh environments such as seawater and ultraviolet light.
