Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drain pipe connectors, specifically a multi-purpose drain pipe connector for washing machines. Background Technology

[0002] There are many models and specifications of washing machines on the market, and the drain pipe diameters of various washing machines are not the same. When it is necessary to replace the drain pipe, the pipe diameter must be measured. Existing drain pipe interfaces that can be adapted to different pipe diameters generally use a section of pipe with interfaces for various pipe diameters. During installation, if the larger pipe diameter is not needed, it needs to be cut off. After cutting to the appropriate pipe diameter, it is connected to the washing machine drain pipe and then fixed with a clamp. The installation is inconvenient, and this method destroys the original design. When it is used again, it cannot be adapted to a larger drain pipe diameter, and the entire drain pipe connector needs to be replaced, which easily leads to waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the defects of existing washing machine drain pipe connectors, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multi-purpose washing machine drain pipe connector that is simple in structure, adaptable to various washing machine drain outlet diameters, has a wide range of applications, and is reusable.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention is achieved through the following technical measures: a multi-purpose drain pipe connector for washing machines, including a connector seat and an adapter, wherein the connector seat is provided with an inlet end and an outlet end, the inlet end is provided with a stepped hole forming a limiting part, the limiting part is used to install and limit the adapter, and the outlet end is connected to the drain pipe.

[0005] Furthermore, the number of the fittings is several, and the fittings are tightly nested together in sequence.

[0006] Furthermore, the adapter has a plurality of limiting rings on its outer wall and a plurality of limiting grooves on its inner wall, the number of limiting grooves and limiting rings being the same.

[0007] Furthermore, the connector seat is equipped with a right-angle turn.

[0008] Furthermore, both the connector and the adapter are made of soft materials.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: simple structure, easy to install, and can be fixed with a clamp after the inner diameter of the adapter is matched with the diameter of the washing machine drain pipe; it can be adapted to various washing machine drain pipe diameters and has a wide range of applications; several adapters can be disassembled and assembled, so that the washing machine drain pipe joint can be reused. Attached Figure Description

[0010] The accompanying drawings, which form part of this utility model, are used to provide a further understanding of the utility model. The illustrative embodiments of the utility model and their descriptions are used to explain the utility model and do not constitute an undue limitation of the utility model. In the drawings:

[0011] Figure 1 This is an exploded structural diagram of the multi-purpose drain pipe connector for washing machines according to the present invention;

[0012] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the multi-purpose drain pipe connector for washing machines with a right-angle turn head as described in this utility model.

[0013] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached drawings: 1. Connector seat; 2. Adaptor; 3. Water inlet end; 4. Limiting part; 5. Limiting ring; 6. Limiting groove. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present application can be combined with each other.

[0015] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", "bottom", "top", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0016] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The multi-purpose washing machine drain hose connector provided in this embodiment includes a connector base 1 and an adapter 2. The connector base 1 has an inlet end 3 and an outlet end. The inlet end 3 of the connector base 1 has a stepped hole forming a limiting part 4, which is used to install and limit the adapter 2. The outlet end connects to the drain hose. The connector base 1 can be equipped with a right-angle turn head to match the installation environment. The adapter 2 is tubular and made of soft material. The outer wall of the adapter 2 has several limiting rings 5, and the inner wall of the adapter 2 has several limiting grooves 6. The limiting grooves 6 and the limiting... The number of rings 5 ​​is the same, and the number of adapters 2 is several. The inner diameter of the adapters 2 is compatible with commonly used sizes on the market, including but not limited to 28mm, 30mm, 34mm, 38mm, and 42mm. The adapters 2 are tightly fitted together in sequence. The outer diameter of the inner layer of adapters 2 matches the inner diameter of the outer layer of adapters 2. Adjacent adapters 2 are limited and fixed by limiting rings 5 ​​and limiting grooves 6. The outermost adapter 2 with the largest size does not have a limiting ring 5 on its outer wall, so as to facilitate a tight connection with the water inlet end 3 of the connector 1.

[0017] The multi-purpose washing machine drain pipe connector provided in this embodiment is assembled by tightly fitting several adapters 2 layer by layer onto the water inlet end 3 limiting part 4 of the connector seat 1. When in use, find the appropriate inner diameter of the adapter 2 and remove the adapter 2 with an inner diameter lower than the appropriate inner diameter. The adapter 2 is made of soft material, and it can be removed by simply squeezing the adapter 2 to deform it. After connecting the water inlet end 3 and the washing machine drain outlet, tighten it with a clamp. The connector is made of soft material, which can better fit the drain outlet pipe diameter and prevent water leakage.

[0018] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
