Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses an easy-to-install stainless steel connector, including a connecting pipe 1, and further including: several sets of placement grooves disposed inside the connecting pipe 1, and a sealing component 2 fixedly connected inside the several sets of placement grooves. The sealing component 2 seals the interface to prevent liquid from leaking out from the interface. The sealing component 2 includes several sets of compression springs 201 and sealing gaskets 202; a limiting block 3 disposed on the surface of the connecting pipe 1, and a snap-fit ​​component 4 overlapping and connecting one side of the limiting block 3. The snap-fit ​​component 4 enables the device to be quickly connected to an external pipeline. The snap-fit ​​component 4 includes a moving frame 401, a snap-fit ​​spring 402 and several sets of ball bearings 403.

[0023] Specifically, the sealing assembly 2 includes several sets of compression springs 201 fixedly connected inside the placement groove, and a sealing gasket 202 is fixedly connected to one end of each set of compression springs 201.

[0024] In this embodiment, when the external pipeline is connected to the device, the sealing gasket 202 is used to seal and prevent liquid from leaking out from the interface. The compression spring 201 provides a certain force to the sealing gasket 202, so that the sealing gasket 202 fits tightly with the external pipeline, further improving the sealing performance of the device.

[0025] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​assembly 4 includes a movable frame 401 that overlaps and is connected to one side of the limiting block 3. A snap-fit ​​spring 402 is fixedly connected inside the movable frame 401, and a ball bearing 403 is overlapped and connected inside the movable frame 401.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the device is connected to an external pipeline, the bottom surface of the ball 403 falls into the groove on the surface of the external pipeline, and the locking spring 402 pushes the moving frame 401 to limit the ball 403, thereby fixing the device and the external pipeline.

[0027] Specifically, the surface of the connecting pipe 1 is provided with several sets of placement holes, and several sets of the ball bearings 403 are disposed inside the placement holes.

[0028] In this embodiment, the placement hole is used to place the ball bearing 403, allowing the device to be connected to an external pipeline.

[0029] Specifically, an installation block 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting pipe 1, and a water inlet pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting pipe 1.

[0030] Specifically, a support block 7 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the connecting pipe 1, and a water inlet pipe 8 is connected through one side of the support block 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, the support block 7 is used to install the water inlet pipe 8, which is connected to the external water pipe.

[0032] Specifically, the water inlet pipe 8 has a threaded hole inside, a thread on its surface, and a first connector 9 is threaded to its outer side.

[0033] Specifically, the other end of the support block 7 is connected to a water outlet pipe 10, and the outer side of the water outlet pipe 10 is threaded with a second connector 11.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the sliding frame 401 moves, compressing the locking spring 402. At this time, the external pipe is inserted into the connecting pipe 1, and the ball bearing 403 falls into the groove on the surface of the external pipe. Releasing the sliding frame 401 causes the locking spring 402 to reset, and the sliding frame 401 presses against the ball bearing 403, thus limiting the external pipe. When disassembly is required, sliding the sliding frame 401 releases the limitation on the ball bearing 403, allowing the pipe to be pulled out of the device. This eliminates the need for threaded connections during installation. During installation, one end of the external pipe exerts pressure on the sealing gasket 202. The compression spring 201, in a compressed state, provides a certain force to the sealing gasket 202, ensuring a tight seal between the sealing gasket 202 and the external pipe. This prevents fluid leakage from the joint and ensures the sealing performance of the pipeline system.

[0035] In summary, this easy-to-install stainless steel connector, through the setting of sealing component 2 and snap-fit ​​component 4, allows the device to be quickly connected to external pipelines, while also preventing liquid leakage from the interface.
