[0027] The utility model is further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. Specific Implementation Example 1:
[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a connector equipped with a backflow prevention sealing device includes an upper connector seat 1 and a lower connector seat 2. The upper connector seat 1 has an upper water core structure A at its center, and the lower connector seat 2 has a lower water core structure B that can conduct water through the upper water core structure A at its center. The lower water core structure B includes a lower water inlet pipe 3 and a leak-proof sealing rod 4. The leak-proof sealing rod 4 is slidably disposed within the lower water inlet pipe 3 along the axial direction, and at least part of its upper part extends out of the upper side of the lower water inlet pipe 3 and is vertically pushed and engaged with the upper water core structure A. A water inlet channel 301 is formed between the leak-proof sealing rod 4 and the lower water inlet pipe 3. A silicone sealing ring 5 is sleeved on the middle part of the leak-proof sealing rod 4, and a first spring 6 is provided between its lower part and the lower water inlet pipe 3. The first spring 6 causes the silicone sealing ring 5 to elastically press against the inner wall of the lower water inlet pipe 3 to conduct or close the water inlet channel 301.
[0029] This connector relies on the force of the first spring 6 to push the leak-proof sealing rod 4 upward when the kettle is lifted. The silicone sealing ring 5 then adheres to the inner wall of the lower water pipe 3, achieving a self-sealing effect. This prevents water in the lower water pipe 3 from spraying out directly and also prevents water between the water pump and the water pipe from overflowing from the connector due to water pressure, thus solving the water backflow problem and maintaining the cleanliness and aesthetics of the countertop.
[0030] The upper water core structure A includes an upper water inlet pipe 8, inside which is provided a second spring 9, a sealing steel ball 10, and an elastic sealing sleeve 11; the elastic sealing sleeve 11 is tightly fitted to the bottom port of the upper water inlet pipe 8, and a sealing end face 111 is provided on the upper side of the elastic sealing sleeve 11; the sealing steel ball 10 is movably supported on the sealing end face 111, and the second spring 9 is supported between the sealing steel ball 10 and the top of the upper water inlet pipe 8; in the normal static state, the second spring 9 presses against the sealing steel ball 10, and the sealing steel ball 10 abuts against the elastic sealing sleeve 11 to prevent water in the kettle from leaking downwards.
[0031] The top end of the upper water pipe 8 is provided with an upper spring support frame 81, which forms multiple water outlets. One end of the second spring 9 is actually abutted against the upper spring support frame 81.
[0032] The lower side of the leak-proof sealing rod 4 is also provided with a drain sleeve 7. The drain sleeve 7 is assembled and connected to the bottom port of the lower water pipe 3 through a quick-release structure. The first spring 6 is axially abutted between the leak-proof sealing rod 4 and the drain sleeve 7. The drain sleeve 7 encapsulates the bottom port of the lower water pipe 3 and provides a support point for the first spring 6, thereby fixing the leak-proof sealing rod 4.
[0033] The lower water inlet pipe 3 includes a main body 31, which has a wide cavity 311. A water inlet nozzle 32 extends from the top of the main body 31 and is inserted into the upper water core structure A. The water inlet nozzle 32 has a narrow cavity 321, the diameter of which is smaller than that of the wide cavity 311. An inclined sealing wall 33 is provided between the wide cavity 311 and the narrow cavity 321. The silicone sealing ring 5 is elastically pressed against the inclined sealing wall 33. The top of the water inlet nozzle 32 has an inlet surface, and the water inlet nozzle 32 is used to quickly connect the lower water inlet pipe 3 with the upper water core structure A. The silicone sealing ring 5 abuts against the inclined sealing wall 33, and under the axial thrust of the first spring 6, they can be tightly pressed together to achieve a self-sealing effect.
[0034] The leak-proof sealing rod 4 is provided with several radially extending primary ribs 41, secondary ribs 42, and tertiary ribs 43 on the upper side of the wide pipe cavity 311, the narrow pipe cavity 321, and the lower water pipe 3, respectively. The extension length of each rib gradually decreases. A water inlet channel 301 is formed between two adjacent primary ribs 41 or secondary ribs 42 and the lower water pipe 3. The silicone sealing ring 5 is snapped between the primary ribs 41 and the secondary ribs 42. In order to avoid the primary ribs 41, secondary ribs 42, and tertiary ribs 43 being too dense, in this embodiment, there are four primary ribs 41, secondary ribs 42, and tertiary ribs 43, which form a cross structure.
[0035] The extension lengths of the primary rib 41 and the secondary rib 42 are mainly adapted to their corresponding inner diameter of the pipe cavity, so that the anti-leakage sealing rod 4 forms a radial support force, preventing the anti-leakage sealing rod 4 from shaking significantly. On this basis, the water inlet channel 301 is formed between two adjacent primary ribs 41 or secondary ribs 42, so that the lower water core structure B maintains water inlet efficiency.
[0036] The drain sleeve 7 has a lower positioning part 71 extending upward from its center, and the lower end of the first spring 6 is sleeved on the lower positioning part 71. The bottom end of the leak-proof sealing rod 4 extends downward from the lower positioning part 71 to the upper positioning part 44, and the upper end of the first spring 6 is sleeved on the upper positioning part 44. By using the cooperation of the lower positioning part 71 and the upper positioning part 44, the depth of downward sliding of the leak-proof sealing rod 4 can be limited. In addition, the first spring 6 is positioned and fixed to prevent the first spring 6 from deforming or shifting under pressure.
[0037] The upper part of the drain sleeve 7 is provided with a lower spring support frame 72, which forms multiple water inlets. The lower positioning part 71 is a columnar structure that extends upward from the center of the lower spring support frame 72.
[0038] The upper side of the elastic sealing sleeve 11 is integrally extended with a trumpet-shaped sealing lip 112. The outer wall surface of the sealing lip 112 is spaced apart from the elastic sealing sleeve 11, and the inner wall surface of the sealing lip 112 forms a sealing end face 111. Compared with the traditional structure, the sealing lip 112 of this structure is more flexible and elastic, ensuring that the entire sealing lip 112 can completely cover the surface of the sealing steel ball 10, thereby improving the sealing effect.
[0039] The height of the leak-proof sealing rod 4 extending above the sealing end face 111 is H1. When the leak-proof sealing rod 4 is reset, the maximum distance between the upper positioning part 44 and the lower positioning part 71 is H2, where H1 > H2.
[0040] When the leak-proof sealing rod 4 comes into contact with the sealing steel ball 10, it is limited by the weight of the sealing steel ball 10 and the force of the second spring 9. The leak-proof sealing rod 4 can only slide downward. After sliding down a distance H2, the upper positioning part 44 will abut against the lower positioning part 71 to limit the maximum sliding depth of the leak-proof sealing rod 4. After the leak-proof sealing rod 4 has a supporting force, it will push up the sealing steel ball 10 to form a conductive gap. Therefore, when H1>H2, the leak-proof sealing rod 4 will no longer move down and will always maintain a fixed conductive gap.
[0041] Based on the above structure, the connector is used as follows:
[0042] After the connector upper seat 1 and connector lower seat 2 are coupled, the water inlet nozzle 32 is inserted into the elastic sealing sleeve 11 to form a sealed connection (the inner wall of the elastic sealing sleeve 11 is provided with several sealing ribs 113). At the same time, the leak-proof sealing rod 4 passes through the elastic sealing sleeve 11 and first abuts against the sealing steel ball 10. The sealing steel ball 10 presses against the lower leak-proof sealing rod 4. The leak-proof sealing rod 4 can only move downwards until it is supported. At the same time, the silicone sealing ring 5 moves downwards and leaves the inclined sealing wall 33, and the water inlet channel 301 is connected. After the leak-proof sealing rod 4 is supported, the upper part of the leak-proof sealing rod 4 pushes up the sealing steel ball 10. The sealing steel ball 10 leaves the sealing end face 111 to form a conductive gap and connects with the water inlet channel 301, thereby enabling water inlet or pumping operation.
[0043] The quick-release structure includes two inverted buckles 73 and two buckle interfaces 34 corresponding to the number of inverted buckles 73; the two inverted buckles 73 are arranged on opposite sides of the outer surface of the drain sleeve 7, and the two buckle interfaces 34 are opened on the lower water pipe 3 corresponding to the inverted buckles 73; the drain sleeve 7 is fixed by a quick connection method, which is easy to install and disassemble, has a firm connection, and can improve production efficiency.
[0044] The bottom of the lower water pipe 3 has two open anti-fool notches 35, which are staggered with two snap-fit interfaces 34. The outer side of the lower water sleeve 7 is provided with two anti-fool blocks 74. The anti-fool blocks 74 cooperate with the anti-fool notches 35 to align the snap-fit block 73 with the snap-fit interface 34. Before assembly, when the anti-fool blocks 74 correspond to the anti-fool notches 35, the snap-fit block 73 is exactly aligned with the snap-fit interface 34. During assembly, the anti-fool blocks 74 and the anti-fool notches 35 serve as guides to ensure that the snap-fit block 73 is snapped into the snap-fit interface 34, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the lower water core structure B. Specific Implementation Example 2:
[0045] The difference between Specific Embodiment Two and Specific Embodiment One is that: Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the lower water pipe 3 is integrally provided with a horizontal connecting pipe 12. The horizontal connecting pipe 12 is preferably set at 90° with the lower water pipe 3. In this embodiment, the bottom end of the lower water pipe 3 forms a bottom opening 302. At this time, the drain sleeve 7 is replaced by a closed bottom cover 13, which is positioned and fastened in the bottom opening 302 by using the same structure of the inverted buckle block 73 and the anti-fooling block 74. Specific Implementation Example 3:
[0046] The difference between Specific Embodiment Three and Specific Embodiment One is that: Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a detachable 90° elbow 13. The 90° elbow 13 includes a transverse connecting pipe 12 and a longitudinal connecting pipe 14 sleeved at the bottom of the lower water pipe. The bottom of the lower water pipe 3 has at least one sealing groove along its length. A silicone sealing ring 15 is inserted into each sealing groove. The silicone sealing ring 15 elastically abuts against the inner wall of the longitudinal connecting pipe 14 to achieve a sealing effect. Specific Implementation Example 4:
[0047] Specific embodiment four is similar to specific embodiment two, except that: Figure 10 As shown, a separate sealing plug 16 is provided inside the bottom opening 302, and the bottom end of the lower water pipe 3 is connected to a cap 17 that can open or close the bottom opening. The sealing plug 16 is placed at the bottom opening 302 through the cap 17, and an inverted block 73 is provided on the opposite side of the bottom of the lower water pipe 3. A fastening interface 34 is provided on the cover wall of the cap 17 corresponding to the inverted block 73. The cap 17 is fastened to the bottom opening 302 through the inverted block 73 and the fastening interface 34. In other embodiments, the positions of the fastening interface 34 and the inverted block 73 can be interchanged.
