[0002] Water supply steel pipes are steel pipes used to transport water. They are usually made of materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel, and have the characteristics of high strength, good toughness, and corrosion resistance (some materials may be treated with anti-corrosion). The pipes can be combined into a network system by welding, flange connection, grooved connection and other methods. They can withstand a certain water pressure and ensure safe and stable water supply. They are widely used in urban water supply, indoor and outdoor water supply of buildings, industrial water supply and other fields.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218152869U discloses a 3PE anti-corrosion steel pipe for water supply, which includes: a pipe and a connecting flange. The connecting flange is inserted and installed at one end of the pipe. Four sets of fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the inner end of the connecting flange. A movable column is connected through the inside of the fixing block. A rotating block is connected to one end of the movable column through the fixing block. A pressure block is movably connected to the surface of the rotating block. The surface of the pressure block is pressed against the inner wall of the pipe.
[0004] During the operation of a water supply pipeline system, when encountering conditions such as slight foundation settlement or lateral displacement due to environmental factors, the connections of traditional steel pipes used for water supply are prone to loosening. This loosening not only damages the integrity of the pipeline structure but also directly affects the sealing performance of the water supply pipeline system, potentially leading to water leakage, water pressure loss, and other problems, thereby threatening the safe and stable operation of the entire water supply system and the reliability of water supply.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the vertical telescopic adjusting assembly has the advantages and positive effects that:
[0016] 1、In the utility model, through the cooperation of the vertical telescopic adjusting assembly and the flexible hose, the stress generated by pipeline vibration can be dispersed and absorbed, structural damage caused by stress concentration to the pipeline connection can be avoided, and the anti-vibration performance and durability of the pipeline system are greatly improved; in addition, the self-adaptive adjusting mechanism can effectively maintain the sealing performance of the pipeline system, even under complex vibration working conditions, water leakage caused by loose interface can be prevented, and the continuity and safety of water supply transportation are ensured.
[0017] 2.

When the flexible joint steel pipe for water supply is affected by vibration and slides up and down or left and right, the movement of the insertion pipe 2 will drive the adapter 31 to undergo displacement changes in the axial direction, thereby driving the vertical telescopic adjustment component 32 to perform vertical telescopic adjustment. At the same time, the flexible hose 33, with its good flexibility, will undergo elastic deformation in the horizontal direction, effectively offsetting the offset caused by the left and right sliding of the pipe. The synergistic effect of the vertical telescopic adjustment component 32 and the flexible hose 33 can disperse and absorb the stress generated by the pipe vibration, avoiding stress concentration and structural damage to the pipe connection, and greatly improving the vibration resistance and durability of the pipeline system. In addition, this adaptive adjustment mechanism can effectively maintain the sealing of the pipeline system, and even under complex vibration conditions, it can prevent water leakage caused by loose joints, ensuring the continuity and safety of water supply.
[0030] Example 2: Figures 1-7As shown, the utility model discloses a water supply socket flexible interface steel pipe, including socket 1 and spigot 2, and the spigot 2 with socket 1 between through bolt fixed communication has adapter assembly 3, adapter assembly 3 includes two adapter heads 31 and the flexible hose 33 connected between two adapter heads 31 with spigot 2 and socket 1 are connected respectively, the outside between the both ends of flexible hose 33 and the inside of two adapter heads 31 is fixedly connected with vertical telescopic adjusting assembly 32, and vertical telescopic adjusting assembly 32 includes two groups of setting in the flexible hose 33 both ends no.
