[0009] Further, the waterway pipe is provided with an interface at both ends; the interface is a horn type. The horn type interface can reduce the turbulence and vortex when the water flow enters, thereby improving the overall stability of the system.
[0010] Further, the waterway joint is provided with a clamping platform inside the end close to the waterway pipe; the interface and the clamping platform cooperate to complete the installation, provide a high-strength connection, and ensure the stability of the pipeline system; the interface and the clamping platform cooperate to have good sealing performance, can maintain good sealing effect under high pressure and high flow conditions, thereby avoiding leakage.
