[0013] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0014] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0015] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0016] like Figure 1-3As shown, the water chamber inlet and outlet are large-diameter quick-connect fittings. The water chamber inlet and outlet include a plug-in part 1, an enlarged diameter part 2, and a connecting part 3 arranged in sequence. The diameter of the enlarged diameter part 2 gradually increases. The connecting part 3 is integrally formed and connected to the water chamber 4. The connecting part 3 is provided with an annular groove 5. The quick-connect fitting includes a threaded part 6, a positioning part 7, a sealing part 8, and a snap-fit ​​part 9 connected in sequence. The threaded part 6 is provided with external threads. The head end of the plug-in part 1 is inserted into the positioning part 7. A sealing ring 10 is provided between the sealing part 8 and the plug-in part 1. A U-shaped snap ring 11 is fitted on the snap-fit ​​part 9. Openings 12 communicating with the inside of the snap-fit ​​part 9 are provided on both sides of the snap-fit ​​part 9. The U-shaped snap ring 11 includes two snap arms 13, which pass through the openings 12 and extend into the annular groove 5.

[0017] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the sealing part 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the positioning part 7, and an inner limiting platform 14 is formed between the sealing part 8 and the positioning part 7. The inner diameter of the sealing part 8 is smaller than the inner diameter of the snap-fit ​​part 9, and an outer limiting platform 15 is formed between the sealing part 8 and the snap-fit ​​part 9. An inner limiting ring 16 is provided inside the sealing part 8, and the sealing ring 10 is located between the inner limiting platform 14 and the inner limiting ring 16. One end of the inner limiting ring 16 is bent outward to form an outer limiting ring 17, and the diameter of the outer limiting ring 17 is larger than the inner diameter of the sealing part 8. The inner limiting ring 16 and the outer limiting ring 17 are integrally formed. The inner limiting platform 14 and the inner limiting ring 16 limit the sealing ring 10, preventing it from shifting or deforming under the impact of high-pressure water flow, thereby ensuring a good sealing effect.

[0018] Furthermore, the inner limiting ring 16 has an inclined surface 18 on its inner side that fits against the enlarged diameter portion 2.

[0019] Furthermore, the inner limiting ring 16 is provided with a plurality of hooks 19, and the locking part 9 is provided with a plurality of slots 20. The hooks 19 correspond to the slots 20 and are engaged in the corresponding slots 20. This prevents the inner limiting ring 16 from rotating arbitrarily during installation, ensuring the accuracy and stability of its limiting effect on the sealing ring 10.

[0020] Furthermore, an annular guide slope 21 is provided on the side of the annular groove 5 near the water chamber 4. The annular guide slope 21 serves as a guide when installing the U-shaped retaining spring, making it easier for the retaining arm to slide smoothly into the annular groove, reducing the installation difficulty, and also improving the accuracy and stability of the snap-fit.

[0021] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​part 9 is provided with a clamping groove 22, and the top two sides of the U-shaped retaining spring 11 are respectively located in the clamping groove 22. The clamping groove 22 protects the U-shaped retaining spring 11 and prevents it from shaking or shifting after installation.

[0022] Both the water chamber and the quick-connect fittings are made of plastic. The quick-connect fittings meet VDA industry standards.

[0023] It is worth mentioning that the technical features such as the U-shaped retaining ring 11 and the sealing ring 10 involved in this utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle and possible control method and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be adopted by conventional choices in the field, and should not be regarded as the inventive point of this utility model patent. This utility model patent will not elaborate further.

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experimentation on the basis of the prior art should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
