Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water pipes, and in particular to a water inlet pipe assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Water inlet pipes are piping components used to deliver water to equipment or systems. They are widely used in homes, industries, agriculture, and urban water supply. They typically connect water sources to water treatment facilities, pumping stations, water storage tanks, or other water-using equipment. Water inlet pipes are made of various materials, including PVC, PE, and stainless steel. The appropriate material is selected based on different application scenarios. The design of water inlet pipes needs to consider factors such as water flow, water pressure, and corrosion resistance to ensure the stability and safety of the water supply. Regularly checking and maintaining the unobstructed flow and sealing of water inlet pipes is crucial for the normal operation of the system.
[0003] In daily life, the most common water inlet pipe is that of a washing machine. A washing machine is a household appliance used to automatically clean clothes. It uses an electric motor to drive the inner drum to rotate, thus mixing water and detergent for cleaning. Washing machines can be divided into two types: front-loading and top-loading. Front-loading machines tumble clothes by simulating hand washing, which is gentler. Top-loading machines clean clothes by agitating the water. Modern washing machines usually have multiple washing modes, temperature control, spin-drying functions, and some even have intelligent operation, which can be remotely controlled via a mobile app. Washing machines greatly improve washing efficiency, save time and labor, and have become an essential household appliance.
[0004] Currently, the water inlet hoses of washing machines are commonly used and are directly clipped onto the faucet. Although this method of installation and removal is convenient, it cannot guarantee a complete seal, and the hose may even come loose. There have been many cases of houses being flooded due to the detachment of washing machine water inlet hoses. Therefore, a water inlet hose assembly is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A threaded ring 8 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the adapter 7, and a sealing gasket 9 is fitted inside the threaded ring 8. The first sleeve 2 is used to connect the adapter 3 and the hose 1. The adapter 3 is... To connect and restrict the rotation direction of threaded ring 4, threaded ring 4 is used to install hose 1 on the washing machine. Sealing gasket 5 is to ensure a seal and prevent water leakage. Sleeve 6 is used to connect adapter 7 and housing 11. Adapter 7 is used to connect and restrict the rotation direction of threaded ring 8. Threaded ring 8 is used to install the filter assembly on the faucet. Sealing gasket 9 is to ensure a seal during connection and prevent detachment. The bottom of adapter 3 is inserted into the top right side of hose 1. Adapter 3 is bent at a right angle to achieve connection and seal.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5The filter assembly includes a mounting base 10, which is internally and fixedly connected to the top left side of the hose 1. A housing 11 is slidably connected to the outside of the mounting base 10. A limit post 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 11. A filter element 13 is sleeved on the right side of the limit post 12. The mounting base 10 is used to connect to the housing 11. The housing 11 is for connecting and protecting the internal parts. The limit post 12 is used to facilitate the installation of the filter element 13. The filter element 13 is used to filter impurities such as sand and rust in the water. A fixing assembly is installed on the outside of the housing 11. The fixing assembly includes... A fixed ring 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 11. A rotating ring 15 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed ring 14. Four ropes 16 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring 15. Springs 17 are sleeved on the outside of the ropes 16. A baffle 18 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the spring 17. A fixing bolt 19 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the baffle 18. The fixed ring 14 is used to connect and limit other parts. The rotating ring 15 encloses the fixed ring 14 and is connected to the ropes 16 for easy manual rotation. The ropes 16 are used to pull the baffle 18 to move. Spring 17 is for automatically resetting baffle 18. Fixing bolt 19, limited by housing 11, can only move in a designated direction and will not move or wobble. Baffle 18 is fixed to its outer side to prevent fixing bolt 19 from exceeding its range of motion and falling off. Fixing bolt 19 is used to lock the mounting base 10, facilitating the removal and replacement of filter element 13. Adapter 2 7 is inserted into the input end of housing 11 at its bottom for fixation. The inner wall of filter element 13 is slidably connected to the top left side of hose 1, and the right side of filter element 13 abuts against the left side of mounting base 10. Both ends of the filter element 13 are sealed. The rope 16 is externally slidably connected to the inside of the fixing ring 14. The inside of the rope 16 is fixedly connected to the outside of the baffle 18, so that the baffle 18 moves when the rope 16 moves. The fixing bolt 19 passes through the housing 11 and is inserted into the mounting base 10 to realize disassembly and assembly. The outside of the baffle 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring 14. The fixing ring 14 restricts the movement direction of the baffle 18 to prevent it from moving or shaking randomly. The outside of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring 14 to keep the spring 17 stable.
[0036] Working principle: When installing the washing machine, first install hose 1 onto the faucet, align the threaded ring 2 8 with the bottom of the faucet, and start rotating the threaded ring 2 8 to engage the internal threads of the threaded ring 2 8 with the threads on the faucet. With the help of the sealing gasket 2 9, it is fixed and sealed, preventing easy detachment. Next, install hose 1 onto the washing machine, align the threaded ring 1 4 with the washing machine's water inlet, and start rotating. With the help of the sealing gasket 1 5, it is fixed and sealed, preventing leakage. Then it can be used normally. During use, water enters the housing 11 through adapter 2 7, is filtered by filter element 13 to intercept impurities, and the filtered water then enters filter element 13. Inside, the water is ultimately delivered to the washing machine via hose 1. After a period of use, the filter element 13 needs to be replaced in time to avoid clogging and affecting the water delivery efficiency. By rotating the rotating ring 15, the rope 16 pulls the baffle 18 to compress the spring 17, causing the fixing bolt 19 to retract into the fixing ring 14, thus unlocking the machine. At this time, the casing 11 is removed and the filter element 13 is pulled out. Under the limit of the limiting post 12, a new filter element 13 is placed on it. Then, the casing 11 is put back on the mounting base 10. At this time, the rotating ring 15 is released. Under the limit of the fixing ring 14, the spring 17 pushes the baffle 18, pushing out the fixing bolt 19, so that the fixing bolt 19 is inserted into the mounting base 10 to achieve fixation. The operation is convenient.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
