Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ventilation therapy technology, and in particular to a curved tube assembly and a breathing mask. Background Technology
[0002] Existing breathing masks typically connect a curved tube to a flexible tube. One method involves a mating section between the flexible tube and the curved tube, forming a non-removable unit that prevents free insertion and removal during use. Another method involves a smooth, rigid section within the curved tube, with the flexible tube's end made of silicone. When mated, the deformation and friction between the materials provide the necessary force for connection. However, this method results in significant friction between the silicone flexible material and the rigid tube, requiring substantial and sustained force for disassembly and assembly. Therefore, both connection methods suffer from inflexible and inconvenient disassembly and assembly. Utility Model Content

[0066] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0067] This invention provides a bent tube assembly, more specifically, a freely detachable bent tube assembly for connecting a breathing mask (not shown) and an air intake line. Specifically, the bent tube assembly includes a bent tube connector 5 and a flexible tube connector 6 connected to the bent tube connector 5. The side of the bent tube connector 5 away from the flexible tube connector 6 is connected to the breathing mask, and the side of the flexible tube connector 6 away from the bent tube connector 5 is connected to one end of the air intake line. The other end of the air intake line is connected to a gas generator (gas source). The air intake line can be, for example, a flexible tube 7. Therefore, breathable gas can be provided to the breathing mask through the flexible tube 7 and the bent tube assembly.
[0068] One or both of the bend joint 5 and the flexible joint 6 are provided with a detachable connection structure, and the bend joint 5 and the flexible joint 6 are connected by the detachable connection structure.
[0069] The detachable connection structure includes a deformable part 3 or a threaded part 4. The deformable part 3 is designed to deform under force, allowing the elbow joint 5 and the flexible tube joint 6 to connect or separate from each other. Therefore, during use, the flexible tube joint 6 and the flexible tube 7 can be freely inserted and removed from the elbow joint 5 and the breathing mask without applying a large force, thus making it more flexible and convenient to use.
[0070] Example 1
[0071] The deformable part 3 includes an opening groove 31, which is provided on the bend joint 5 or the flexible pipe joint 6. The opening groove 31 can contract or expand when subjected to force, so as to allow the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6 to be inserted into each other or separated from each other.
[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the opening slot 31 is provided on the elbow connector 5. Specifically, the elbow connector 5 includes an elbow body 52 and flexible tubing connection parts 51 and mask connection parts 53 respectively provided on both sides of the elbow body 52. The flexible tubing connection parts 51 can be connected to the flexible tube connector 6, and the mask connection parts 53 can be connected to a breathing mask. The elbow body 52 is constructed with a bent structure, so that there is a certain angle between the extending directions of the flexible tubing connection parts 51 and the mask connection parts 53.
[0073] The opening groove 31 can be provided on the flexible pipe connection part 51, for example. The opening groove 31 extends axially from the end of the flexible pipe connection part 51, that is, the opening of the opening groove 31 is located at the end of the flexible pipe connection part 51. Therefore, when the flexible pipe connection part 51 is inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6, a force can be applied to the flexible pipe connection part 51. Due to the opening groove 31, a deformable space is provided for the flexible pipe connection part 51, causing the end of the flexible pipe connection part 51 and the opening groove 31 to deform towards the axis, so that the flexible pipe connection part 51 can be inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0074] Understandably, the opening groove 31 can also be provided on the flexible pipe joint 6, and its arrangement is similar to that described above.
[0075] Furthermore, the deformable part 3 also includes an annular snap fastener 32. Both the annular snap fastener 32 and the opening groove 31 are disposed on the outer wall of the bend joint 5, or both are disposed on the outer wall of the flexible pipe joint 6, with the opening groove 31 penetrating the annular snap fastener 32. The annular snap fastener 32 not only generates deformation to connect with the flexible pipe joint 6, but also serves as an axial limiting function between the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6. Further, the detachable connection structure also includes a first limiting part 33 that cooperates (engages) with the annular snap fastener 32. Therefore, the first limiting part 33 depends on the placement position of the annular snap fastener 32. For example, if the annular snap fastener 32 is disposed on the bend joint 5, the first limiting part 33 can be disposed on the flexible pipe joint 6; conversely, if the annular snap fastener 32 is disposed on the flexible pipe joint 6, the first limiting part 33 can be disposed on the bend joint 5.
[0076] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment 1, the annular buckle 32 is set on the bend joint 5 and the first limiting part 33 is set on the flexible pipe joint 6 as an example for explanation.
[0077] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, both the annular snap fastener 32 and the opening groove 31 are disposed on the outer wall of the bend connector 5. More specifically, both the annular snap fastener 32 and the opening groove 31 are disposed on the outer wall of the flexible pipe connection portion 51, with the opening groove 31 penetrating through the annular snap fastener 32. The annular snap fastener 32 includes a first annular protrusion 321 and an annular groove 322 arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the flexible pipe connection portion 51. Since the opening groove 31 penetrates the first annular protrusion 321 and the annular groove 322, when the flexible pipe connection portion 51 is subjected to force, the first annular protrusion 321, the annular groove 322, and the opening groove 31 can all undergo axial contraction deformation.
[0078] The first limiting part 33 is constructed as a second annular protrusion 331 provided on the inner wall of the flexible pipe joint 6, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second annular protrusion 331 has inclined guide surfaces 333 on both sides. Correspondingly, the inner walls of the annular groove 322 are also guide surfaces with the same inclination. That is, the shape of the second annular protrusion 331 is approximately the same as the shape of the annular groove 322. Therefore, the second annular protrusion 331 can be inserted into the annular groove 322. During the process of the second annular protrusion 331 being inserted into the annular groove 322, due to the opening groove 31, the second annular protrusion 331 can first contact the first annular protrusion 321 and cause it to deform. As a result, the first annular protrusion 321 can shrink towards the axis as a load-bearing part. Then, the second annular protrusion 331 can pass over the first annular protrusion 321 and be inserted into the annular groove 322, so that the flexible pipe connection part 51 can be connected to the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0079] When the flexible pipe connector 51 is inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6 (more specifically, the first joint 61), the first annular protrusion 321 on it first contacts the inner wall of the flexible pipe joint 6. Therefore, the end of the first annular protrusion 321 can be set as an inclined guide surface, which facilitates the flexible pipe joint 6 to apply force to it and deform it. Therefore, during disassembly and assembly, when the flexible pipe connector 51 of the elbow joint 5 is subjected to a tensile or pushing force along the axial direction of the flexible pipe joint 6, the first annular protrusion 321 is subjected to a portion of the force perpendicular to the axial direction by the inclined guide surface. The first annular protrusion 321 deforms and contracts towards the axis, allowing it to pass over the second annular protrusion 331 on the flexible pipe joint 6, thereby realizing the free disassembly and assembly of the elbow joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0080] The number of openings 31 can be one or more, and multiple openings 31 can be arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the flexible pipe connection 51, for example. Figure 2 As shown, the two open slots 31 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the flexible pipe connection part 51.
[0081] like Figure 2As shown, the first annular protrusion 321 and the annular groove 322 extend throughout the entire circumference of the flexible conduit connection portion 51, and are interrupted only at the two opening slots 31. Conversely, multiple first annular protrusions 321 and / or annular grooves 322 can be intermittently provided in the circumference of the flexible conduit connection portion 51, as long as the mating second annular protrusion 331 can be engaged in the annular groove 322.
[0082] like Figure 2 As shown, the flexible pipe joint 6 in this embodiment 1 includes a first joint 61 and a second joint 62, wherein the first joint 61 and the second joint 62 are detachably connected, for example, by insertion. The side of the first joint 61 away from the second joint 62 is used to connect to the flexible pipe connection portion 51 of the bend joint 5, and the side of the second joint 62 away from the first joint 61 is used to connect to the flexible pipe 7. More specifically, the first joint 61 includes a first connection port 611 and a second connection port 612 located at its two ends, wherein the first connection port 611 is used for insertion connection with the flexible pipe connection portion 51, and the second connection port 612 is used for insertion connection with the third connection port 621 of the second joint 62.
[0083] One of the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 is provided with a connecting hole 63, and the other of the first connector 61 and the second connector 62 is provided with a third protrusion 64 that can be inserted into the connecting hole 63. Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting hole 63 can be set on the side wall of the second connecting port 612, and correspondingly, the third protrusion 64 can be set at the corresponding position on the third connecting port 621, so that when the second connecting port 612 is inserted into the third connecting port 621, the third protrusion 64 can be inserted into the connecting hole 63 accordingly.
[0084] In this embodiment 1, the first connector 61 and / or the second connector 62 can be made of flexible silicone material, or they can be made of a rigid material with a certain degree of deformability. Therefore, when they are connected by insertion, they can undergo slight deformation, so that the third protrusion 64 can be inserted into the connection hole 63 accordingly.
[0085] The number of connecting holes 63 can be one or more, and multiple connecting holes 63 can be evenly spaced along the circumference of the second connecting port 612, for example. Correspondingly, the number of third protrusions 64 should be the same as the number of connecting holes 63. Figure 4 As shown, the two connecting holes 63 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the second connector 62, and the two third protrusions 64 are correspondingly symmetrically arranged along the axis of the second connector 62.
[0086] One or both of the bend joint 5 and the flexible joint 6 are provided with a limiting boss. The limiting boss on the bend joint 5 can abut against the end of the flexible joint 6 or against the limiting boss on the flexible joint 6. The limiting boss on the flexible joint 6 can abut against the end of the bend joint 5 or against the limiting boss on the bend joint 5.
[0087] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment 1, a limiting boss, namely the bend joint limiting boss 54, is provided on the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5. When the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5 is inserted into the first connection port 611 and the second annular protrusion 331 is engaged in the annular groove 322, the end of the flexible pipe joint 6 (more specifically, the first joint 61) abuts against the bend joint limiting boss 54, thereby providing axial limiting for the connection between the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0088] Example 2
[0089] Based on the above embodiment 1, this embodiment 2 provides a modified embodiment.
[0090] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the bend connector 5 includes a bend body 52 and flexible pipe connection parts 51 and mask connection parts 53 respectively disposed on both sides of the bend body 52. That is, the bend connector 5 can adopt a structural form similar to that of Embodiment 1 above.
[0091] like Figure 7 As shown, the flexible pipe joint 6 includes a first joint 61 and a second joint 62. Unlike the above embodiment 1, the first joint 61 and the second joint 62 in this embodiment 2 can be constructed as an integral unit.
[0092] like Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment 2, both the annular buckle 32 and the opening groove 31 are disposed on the outer wall of the flexible pipe joint 6. More specifically, both the annular buckle 32 and the opening groove 31 are disposed on the outer wall of the first joint 61. The annular buckle 32 extends circumferentially along the first joint 61, and the opening groove 31 extends axially along the first joint 61.
[0093] The number of openings 31 can be one or more, and multiple openings 31 can be arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the first joint 61, for example. Figure 8 As shown, the two opening slots 31 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the first connector 61.
[0094] The annular snap fastener 32 and the opening slot 31 can adopt the structural form in Embodiment 1 above. For example, the annular snap fastener 32 can extend throughout the entire circumference of the first connector 61 and be interrupted only at the two opening slots 31, or multiple annular snap fasteners 32 can be intermittently provided in the circumference of the first connector 61. The end of the annular snap fastener 32 can be configured as an inclined guide surface to facilitate the flexible pipe connection part 51 to apply force to it and deform it.
[0095] In this embodiment 2, the first connector 61 is inserted into the flexible pipe connection part 51, and the two are connected by insertion. Therefore, when the first connector 61 is inserted into the flexible pipe connection part 51, the flexible pipe connection part 51 can apply force to the annular buckle 32 and the opening groove 31 on the first connector 61 to cause axial deformation, so that the first connector 61 can be smoothly inserted into the flexible pipe connection part 51.
[0096] Unlike Embodiment 1 described above, in Embodiment 2, the annular buckle 32 may only include an annular protrusion, i.e., without an annular groove 322. Correspondingly, the first limiting part 33 is constructed as an annular step 332 provided on the inner wall of the flexible pipe connection part 51, such as... Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, when the first connector 61 is inserted into the flexible pipe connection part 51, the annular buckle 32 can abut against the annular step 332, thereby playing an axial limiting role in the connection between the bend connector 5 and the flexible pipe connector 6.
[0097] During disassembly and assembly, the second joint 62 of the flexible pipe joint 6 is subjected to a tensile or pushing force along its axial direction, and the annular buckle 32 is subjected to a portion of the force perpendicular to the axial direction decomposed by the inclined plane. The annular buckle 32 undergoes a deformation that shrinks towards the axis, allowing it to cross the annular step 332, thereby realizing the process of free disassembly and assembly of the bent pipe joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0098] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment 2, the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5 is provided with a bend joint limiting boss 54, and the flexible pipe joint 6 is provided with a flexible pipe joint limiting boss 65 located between the first joint 61 and the second joint 62. When the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5 is inserted into the first joint 61, and the annular buckle 32 can abut against the annular step 332, the flexible pipe joint limiting boss 65 on the first joint 61 abuts against the bend joint limiting boss 54 on the flexible pipe connection part 51, thereby playing an axial limiting role in the connection between the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0099] like Figure 8As shown, an anti-slip part 622 may also be provided on the outer wall of the first connector 61 and / or the second connector 62. It may be a plurality of strip-shaped protrusions arranged in sequence or a plurality of dot-shaped protrusions distributed in an array, etc., which is used to increase the friction when the bend connector 5 and the flexible pipe connector 6 are connected or separated.
[0100] In this embodiment 2, the first connector 61 and / or the second connector 62 can also be made of flexible silicone material, or they can be made of rigid material with a certain deformation capability.
[0101] The similarities between this embodiment 2 and the above embodiment 1 will not be repeated.
[0102] Example 3
[0103] Based on the above embodiment 1, this embodiment 3 provides a modified embodiment.
[0104] like Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the bend connector 5 includes a bend body 52 and flexible pipe connection parts 51 and mask connection parts 53 respectively disposed on both sides of the bend body 52. That is, the bend connector 5 can adopt a structural form similar to that of Embodiment 1 above.
[0105] like Figure 13 As shown in this embodiment 3, the flexible pipe joint 6 can be an integral structure, which can be constructed integrally with the flexible pipe 7.
[0106] In this embodiment 3, the deformable part 3 includes an opening groove 31 and an opening groove mating part 34, one of which is disposed on the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5, and the other is disposed on the flexible pipe joint 6. Figure 13 As shown, the opening groove 31 can be provided on the outer wall of the flexible pipe joint 6 and extend along the axial direction of the flexible pipe joint 6. The opening groove mating part 34 is provided on the outer wall of the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the elbow joint 5, and it can also extend along the axial direction of the elbow joint 5.
[0107] The slotted fitting part 34 can have the same structural shape as the slotted opening 31. Therefore, when the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the elbow joint 5 is inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6, the slotted fitting part 34 can be inserted into the slotted opening 31. The slotted fitting part 34 is configured to be able to fit and connect with the slotted opening 31, and to cause the slotted opening 31 to expand under force when it is fitted or separated from the slotted opening 31.
[0108] like Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, the opening groove 31 includes a receiving groove 311 and a first groove 312 disposed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 311. The first groove 312 is a recessed portion on the inner wall of the receiving groove 311. The first groove 312 may be a recessed portion formed by recessing into two opposite inner sidewalls of the receiving groove 311 in a direction away from each other. The presence of the first groove 312 increases the space occupied by the receiving groove 311 in the circumferential direction of the flexible pipe connector 6. Correspondingly, the opening groove mating part 34 includes a receiving groove latch 341 and a first protrusion 342 disposed on the outer side of the receiving groove latch 341. The first protrusion 342 is a protruding portion on the outer wall of the receiving groove latch 341. The first protrusion 342 may be a protruding portion formed by protruding into two opposite outer sidewalls of the receiving groove latch 341 in a direction away from each other. The presence of the first protrusion 342 increases the space occupied by the receiving groove latch 341 in the circumferential direction of the flexible pipe connection part 51.
[0109] In other words, the portion where the first protrusion 342 is located is larger than the opening of the receiving groove 311. Therefore, when the opening groove mating part 34 is inserted into the opening groove 31, the first protrusion 342 can squeeze the opening of the receiving groove 311 to expand it outward, so that the opening groove mating part 34 can be smoothly inserted into the opening groove 31. When the receiving groove buckle 341 is located in the receiving groove 311, the first protrusion 342 is located in the first groove 312.
[0110] Therefore, during disassembly and assembly, the flexible pipe joint 6 is subjected to a tensile or pushing force along its axial direction, and the opening of the receiving groove 311 is subjected to a force perpendicular to the axis and outward from a portion of the first protrusion 342. The opening of the receiving groove 311 undergoes an outward deformation, and the opening of the receiving groove 311 can cross the first protrusion 342. The first protrusion 342 enters the first groove 312, thereby realizing the process of free disassembly and assembly of the bent pipe joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0111] Furthermore, such as Figure 13 As shown, the first groove 312 is an arc-shaped groove, and the first protrusion 342 is an arc-shaped protrusion. Therefore, the force required for disassembling and assembling the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6 can be controlled by adjusting the outward protrusion height and curvature of the arc-shaped protrusion, as well as adjusting the inward recess depth and curvature of the arc-shaped groove.
[0112] like Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment 3, a limiting boss, namely the bend joint limiting boss 54, is provided on the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5. When the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5 is inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6, and the opening groove mating part 34 is inserted into the opening groove 31, the end of the flexible pipe joint 6 abuts against the bend joint limiting boss 54, thereby providing axial limiting for the connection between the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0113] There can be one or more opening slots 31, and multiple opening slots 31 can be arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the flexible pipe joint 6. The number of opening slot mating parts 34 is the same as the number of opening slots 31. For example, two opening slots 31 symmetrically arranged along the axis of the flexible pipe joint 6 and two opening slot mating parts 34 symmetrically arranged along the axis of the flexible pipe connection part 51 can be provided.
[0114] like Figure 13 As shown, the flexible pipe connection part 51 has a guide end 511, which is a surface with a certain slope, so that the flexible pipe connection part 51 can be more easily inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0115] The similarities between this embodiment 3 and the above embodiment 1 will not be repeated.
[0116] Example 4
[0117] Based on the above embodiments 1 and 3, this embodiment 4 provides a modified embodiment.
[0118] Specifically, the difference between this embodiment 4 and embodiments 1 and 3 described above is that, as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the first groove 312 is a rectangular groove, and the first protrusion 342 is a rectangular protrusion. Furthermore, in this embodiment 4, the first groove 312 is a recessed portion formed by indenting in one of the inner sidewalls of the receiving groove 311. Therefore, the first groove 312 only expands the space it occupies in the circumferential direction of the flexible pipe joint 6 on one side of the receiving groove 311. Correspondingly, the first protrusion 342 is a protruding portion formed by protruding outward on the corresponding outer sidewall of the receiving groove latch 341. Therefore, the first protrusion 342 only expands the space it occupies in the circumferential direction of the flexible pipe connection portion 51 on one side of the receiving groove latch 341.
[0119] like Figure 19 As shown, when the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the elbow joint 5 is inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6, the slotted mating part 34 is inserted into the slotted opening 31, as shown. Figure 20 , Figure 21 As shown, and please refer to Figure 19 Simultaneously, by rotating the flexible pipe connector 51 and the flexible pipe joint 6 relative to each other, the first protrusion 342 can be rotated into the first groove 312, thereby engaging the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6 together. During disassembly, by rotating the flexible pipe connector 51 and the flexible pipe joint 6 in the opposite direction, the first protrusion 342 disengages from the first groove 312, i.e., returns to its original position. Figure 21 As shown in the diagram, the bend joint 5 and the flexible joint 6 can be separated.
[0120] Furthermore, the upper side of the first protrusion 342 is also provided with a first protrusion 3421 and a first recess 3422, and the corresponding sidewall of the first groove 312 is provided with a second protrusion 3121 and a second recess 3122. When the first protrusion 342 is inserted into the first groove 312, the first protrusion 3421 and the second recess 3122 cooperate with each other, and the first recess 3422 and the second protrusion 3121 cooperate with each other.
[0121] Furthermore, an inclined guide surface is provided between the first protrusion 3421 and the first recess 3422, and a guide surface with the same inclination is provided between the second protrusion 3121 and the second recess 3122. Therefore, during the process of rotating the first protrusion 342 to insert into the first groove 312, the first recess 3422 and the second protrusion 3121 provide a certain degree of resistance to the relative rotation of the elbow joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6, thus preventing accidental contact during use that could cause the elbow joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6 to fall off. When the user needs to actively separate the connection between the elbow joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6, an external force is used to rotate the elbow joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6 relative to each other. The externally applied torque is then decomposed into a force parallel to the axial direction through the inclined guide surface, causing the first recess 3422 and the second protrusion 3121 to deform in opposite directions, allowing them to cross each other and achieving the separation of the elbow joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0122] like Figure 21 As shown, in this embodiment 4, a limiting boss, namely the bend joint limiting boss 54, is provided on the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5. When the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5 is inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6, and the opening groove mating part 34 is inserted into the opening groove 31, the end of the flexible pipe joint 6 abuts against the bend joint limiting boss 54, thereby providing axial limiting for the connection between the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0123] There can be one or more opening slots 31, and the number of opening slot mating parts 34 is the same as the number of opening slots 31. For example, two opening slots 31 symmetrically arranged along the axis of the flexible pipe joint 6 and two opening slot mating parts 34 symmetrically arranged along the axis of the flexible pipe connection part 51 can be provided.
[0124] like Figure 17 As shown, the flexible pipe connection part 51 has a guide end 511, which is a surface with a certain slope, so that the flexible pipe connection part 51 can be more easily inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0125] The similarities between this embodiment 4 and the above embodiment 3 will not be repeated.
[0126] Example 5
[0127] Based on the above embodiment 1, this embodiment 5 provides a modified embodiment.
[0128] like Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, the bend connector 5 includes a bend body 52 and flexible pipe connection parts 51 and mask connection parts 53 respectively disposed on both sides of the bend body 52. That is, the bend connector 5 can adopt a structural form similar to that of Embodiment 1 above.
[0129] like Figure 23 As shown in this embodiment 5, the flexible pipe joint 6 can be an integral structure, which can be constructed integrally with the flexible pipe 7.
[0130] Unlike Embodiment 1 described above, in Embodiment 5, the deformable part 3 only includes an open groove 31, which is disposed on the flexible pipe joint 6. For example... Figure 23 As shown, the opening groove 31 can be provided on the outer wall of the flexible pipe joint 6 and extend along the axial direction of the flexible pipe joint 6. There can be one or more opening grooves 31, and multiple opening grooves 31 can be provided at equal intervals along the circumference of the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0131] Furthermore, in this embodiment 5, the detachable connection structure also includes a second limiting part 35. The second limiting part 35 includes a second groove 351 and a second protrusion 352 that are engaged and connected. The second groove 351 is located on one of the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6, and the second protrusion 352 is located on the other of the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0132] like Figure 23 , Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, the second groove 351 is located on the inner wall of the flexible pipe joint 6, and the second protrusion 352 is located on the outer wall of the elbow joint 5. When the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the elbow joint 5 is inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6, the second protrusion 352 expands and deforms the opening groove 31, so that it can be smoothly inserted into the opening groove 31 and prevents accidental dislodgement from the opening groove 31. On the other hand, it can be stuck into the second groove 351, thereby playing a role in axial positioning.
[0133] The second protrusion 352 has a sloped guide surface, and the second groove 351 has a guide surface with the same slope. During disassembly and assembly, the flexible pipe joint 6 is subjected to a tensile or pushing force along its axial direction, and the opening groove 31 undergoes an outward expansion deformation, causing the second protrusion 352 to cross the opening of the opening groove 31 and be inserted into the second groove 351, thereby realizing the free disassembly and assembly of the bent pipe joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0134] like Figure 23 and Figure 24As shown, in this embodiment 4, a limiting boss, namely the bend joint limiting boss 54, is provided on the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5. When the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the bend joint 5 is inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6, and the opening groove mating part 34 is inserted into the opening groove 31, the end of the flexible pipe joint 6 abuts against the bend joint limiting boss 54, thereby providing axial limiting for the connection between the bend joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0135] like Figure 23 As shown, the flexible pipe connection part 51 has a guide end 511, which is a surface with a certain slope, so that the flexible pipe connection part 51 can be more easily inserted into the flexible pipe joint 6.
[0136] The similarities between this embodiment 5 and the above embodiment 1 will not be repeated.
[0137] Example 6
[0138] Based on the above embodiment 1, this embodiment 6 provides a modified embodiment.
[0139] like Figure 26 and Figure 27 As shown, the bend connector 5 includes a bend body 52 and flexible pipe connection parts 51 and mask connection parts 53 respectively disposed on both sides of the bend body 52. That is, the bend connector 5 can adopt a structural form similar to that of Embodiment 1 above.
[0140] like Figure 27 As shown in this embodiment 6, the flexible pipe joint 6 can be an integral structure, which can be constructed integrally with the flexible pipe 7.
[0141] Unlike Embodiment 1 described above, in Embodiment 6, the detachable connection structure includes a threaded portion 4. For example... Figure 28 As shown, the threaded part 4 includes a first threaded part 41 located on the outer wall of the flexible pipe connection part 51 of the elbow joint 5 and a second threaded part 42 located on the flexible pipe joint 6. When connecting the elbow joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6, the elbow joint 5 can be screwed into the flexible pipe joint 6, and the first threaded part 41 and the second threaded part 42 can be engaged to connect the elbow joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6. Conversely, when separating the elbow joint 5 and the flexible pipe joint 6, they can be separated by rotating in the opposite direction.
[0142] The similarities between this embodiment 6 and the above embodiment 1 will not be repeated.
