The fixed block 7 is threaded with a reinforcing bolt 12 on the opposite side. The locking block 9 is installed inside the sliding cavity 8. By rotating the reinforcing bolt 12, it moves inward, thereby squeezing the locking blocks 9 on both sides and making them unfold to the sides, so as to quickly lock into the locking groove 6, thus completing the quick installation and fixing of the connecting pipe 1. The inner side of the connecting pipe 1 is provided with a buffer mechanism 2. The right side of the plug head 3 is provided with an installation groove 13. The inner side of the installation groove 13 is fixedly connected with a sealing ring 14. With the sealing ring 14 between the plug head 3 and the outer pipe 4, the sealing performance and pressure measurement accuracy can be further improved. The left end of the connecting pipe 1 is connected to a water outlet pipe 23. A valve 24 is installed on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 23. An anti-slip sleeve 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve 24. Reinforcing plates 15 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the outer wall of the connecting pipe 1. The right side of multiple reinforcing plates 15 is fixedly connected to the left side of the plug head 3.

[0040] Specifically, a plug head 3 is fixed to the right end of the connecting pipe 1, making the connecting pipe 1 and the plug head 3 an integral structure, significantly improving the structural strength and durability of the entire device. Insertion pieces 5 are fixed to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the plug head 3. These insertion pieces 5 have slots 6 on their inner sides, facilitating subsequent installation and fixing. Fixing blocks 7 are fixed to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the outer pipe 4.

The left end of the connecting pipe 1 is connected to the water outlet pipe 23. A valve 24 is installed on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 23, which not only facilitates operation but also enhances the safety during use.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 The buffer mechanism 2 includes an arc groove 201, which is located on the right side of the plug head 3. The arc groove 201 can offset the incoming water impact. A water flow hole 202 is provided on the left side of the plug head 3. A cavity 203 is provided inside the connecting pipe 1, allowing the water to quickly enter the cavity 203 through the water flow hole 202. A spiral flow channel plate 204 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cavity 203. The spiral flow channel plate 204 inside the cavity 203 guides the water flow for secondary buffering, gradually reducing the impact of the water and improving the service life of the pressure gauge 19.

[0042] Specifically, the arc-shaped groove 201 is located on the right side of the plug head 3. Its main function is to effectively counteract and absorb the impact of water rushing towards it, thereby protecting the entire device from damage caused by severe impact. At the same time, a water flow hole 202 is designed on the left side of the plug head 3. The function of this water flow hole 202 is to allow water to flow smoothly. The internal structure of the connecting pipe 1 has also been designed, with a cavity 203. The existence of this cavity 203 allows water to quickly pass through the water flow hole 202 and directly enter the cavity 203. In order to further optimize the flow path of the water and reduce the impact force, a spiral flow channel plate 204 is fixed inside the cavity 203. The addition of the spiral flow channel plate 204 allows the water to undergo secondary buffering within the cavity 203. By guiding the water to flow along the spiral path, the impact force brought by the water flow is gradually reduced. This design not only improves the efficiency of water flow but also significantly extends the service life of the pressure gauge 19, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire system.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 An installation cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the left end of the outer wall of the connecting pipe 1. A connecting end 17 is connected to the top of the outer wall of the installation cylinder 16. A sensing end 18 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the connecting end 17. The bottom of the pressure gauge 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the sensing end 18. An exhaust valve 22 is connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the connecting pipe 1. An installation groove 20 is opened at the top of the connecting end 17. A sealing ring 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the installation groove 20.

[0044] Specifically, an exhaust valve 22 is connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the connecting pipe 1 to release internal pressure when needed. The top of the connecting end 17 is provided with a mounting groove 20, and a sealing ring 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting groove 20 to ensure the tightness and sealing of the connection.

[0045] Working principle: First, when the plug head 3 and the outer pipe 4 are connected by installation, the plug 5 can be plugged into the fixing block 7 to complete the initial positioning installation. At this time, by rotating the reinforcing bolt 12 to move inward, the locking block 9 inside the sliding cavity 8 is squeezed and unfolded to both sides, so that it can quickly lock into the slot 6, completing the quick installation and fixing of the connecting pipe 1. With the sealing ring 14 between the plug head 3 and the outer pipe 4, the sealing performance and pressure measurement accuracy can be further improved.

[0046] Furthermore, when water enters the throttle head 3 through the outer pipe 4, the arc groove 201 on the right side of the throttle head 3 can offset the incoming water impact and quickly enter the cavity 203 through the water flow hole 202. The spiral flow channel plate 204 inside the cavity 203 guides the water flow for secondary buffering, gradually reducing the impact of the water and improving the service life of the pressure gauge 19.

[0047] 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.
