[0018] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this drain pipe includes a cylindrical water storage pipe 1, with a sealing cap 2 detachably connected to the lower end of the water storage pipe 1. The water storage pipe 1 has a cylindrical water-blocking part 1a extending axially downward from its upper end. There is a water passage gap between the water-blocking part 1a and the sealing cap 2. The water storage cavity 1b is located between the water-blocking part 1a and the inner wall of the water storage pipe 1. A connecting pipe 3 connected to the water storage cavity 1b is fixed to the side of the water storage pipe 1 near its upper end. Sealing rings 4 are embedded in both the inner and outer walls of the connecting pipe 3. A drain pipe 5 is inserted into or sleeved onto the connecting pipe 3. A water receiving pipe 6 extending into the water-blocking part 1a is axially inserted into the upper end of the water storage pipe 1. The outer end of the water receiving pipe 6 is the connecting end. A locking cap 7 is connected to the upper end of the water storage pipe 1 through an external thread. A sealing ring 8 is provided between the locking cap 7 and the upper end of the water storage pipe 1, sealing the outer wall of the water receiving pipe 6.

[0020] Based on the usage environment, drain pipe 5 is selected. If drain pipe 5 is of American standard, it is inserted into connecting pipe 3. If drain pipe 5 is of European standard, it is sleeved on the outside of connecting pipe 3. This ensures good compatibility. Sealing ring 4 ensures the seal between connecting pipe 3 and drain pipe 5. Water inlet pipe 6 is directly inserted into the upper end of water storage pipe 1. The structure is reasonable and compact. Water inlet pipe 6 can rotate around its axis, which is convenient for installation and layout. Moreover, water inlet pipe 6 can be axially raised and lowered according to the position of the water outlet of the sink or basin. After the connecting end of water inlet pipe 6 is connected to the water outlet of the sink or basin, tighten the locking cap 7 so that the sealing ring 8 locks and seals the outer wall of water inlet pipe 6, making the connection convenient.

[0021] When this drain pipe is in use, the water discharged from the sink or basin enters the water storage pipe 1 through the water inlet pipe 6, then passes through the water storage chamber 1b, and is discharged from the drain pipe 5. After the drainage is completed, because the height of the inner end of the connecting pipe 3 is higher than the bottom of the water-blocking part 1a, water will be stored in the water storage chamber 1b and the water-blocking part 1a to form a water seal and prevent the backflow of odors; the sealing cover 2 can be detached for easy sewage discharge.

[0022] The outer end of the water inlet pipe 6 has a flange 6a. A locking nut 9 is fitted onto the water inlet pipe 6, and a ring-shaped washer 10 is located inside the locking nut 9, abutting against the flange 6a. The upper end of the water inlet pipe 6 abuts against the water outlet of the sink or basin. Then, the locking nut 9 is rotated, and the locking nut 9 connects to the water outlet of the sink or basin via its internal thread. After the locking nut 9 is tightened, the washer 10 seals between the flange 6a and the water outlet of the sink or basin. This connection is convenient and provides a good seal. In actual manufacturing, the water inlet pipe 6 is made of stainless steel.

[0023] The water storage pipe 1 is covered by an outer shell 11. The upper end of the outer shell 11 is folded inward and covers the locking cap 7. The water inlet pipe 6 extends out of the outer shell 11, and the lower end of the water inlet pipe 6 is flush with the bottom of the water storage pipe 1. The outer shell 11 has a clearance hole for the connecting pipe 3 to extend out. The outer shell 11 protects the water storage pipe 1. During manufacturing, the water storage pipe 1 is made of plastic, and the outer shell 11 is made of stainless steel, which results in an aesthetically pleasing appearance and low manufacturing cost.

[0024] The water pipe 1 has a radially convex connecting ring 12 on its inner bottom wall. The inner wall of the connecting ring 12 has internal threads. The sealing cap 2 has external threads that connect with the internal threads. The outer wall of the sealing cap 2 has a step. An O-ring 13 is provided between the step and the connecting ring 12. The bottom surface of the sealing cap 2 has two symmetrical semi-circular grooves so that there is a crossbeam 2a in the middle of the bottom of the sealing cap 2. The crossbeam 2a is easy to grip and allows the user to manually rotate the sealing cap 2 without tools. The sealing cap 2 is easy to install and remove. The O-ring 13 ensures the sealing performance between the sealing cap 2 and the connecting ring 12. In actual manufacturing, the water pipe 1 and the connecting ring 12 are both plastic parts and are welded together. The sealing cap 2 is also a plastic part. When the sealing cap 2 is threadedly connected to the connecting ring 12, the bottom surface of the sealing cap 2 is flush with or recessed into the bottom of the water pipe 1. This makes the sealing cap 2 less obtrusive and aesthetically pleasing.

[0025] A decorative cover 14 is fixed to the outer wall of the end of the drain pipe 5 away from the connecting pipe 3. The decorative cover 14 protects the connection of the drain pipe 5 and also makes it look beautiful. In actual manufacturing, both the drain pipe 5 and the decorative cover 14 are stainless steel parts. The inner wall of the decorative cover 14 is folded and welded to the outer wall of the drain pipe 5.

[0026] Two sealing rings 4 are embedded in the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3, and three sealing rings 4 are embedded in the outer wall of the connecting pipe 3. The spacing of each sealing ring 4 is determined according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, two sealing rings 4 are embedded in the inner wall of the section from the middle to the outer end of the connecting pipe 3, and three sealing rings 5 ​​are embedded in the outer wall from the middle to the inner end of the connecting pipe 3. This forms a multiple seal, ensuring the sealing performance. Moreover, the drain pipe 5 can be axially displaced relative to the connecting pipe 3 to compensate for the installation position, making installation convenient. In actual manufacturing, the connecting pipe 3 is a plastic part. The inner end of the connecting pipe 3 abuts against the outer wall of the water storage pipe 1. The inner end of the connecting pipe 3 has a plug-in part for inserting into the water storage pipe 1. The inner end of the connecting pipe 3 is welded to the water storage pipe 1, resulting in good structural strength.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the drain pipe 5 is inserted into the connecting pipe 3, a stainless steel sleeve 15 is fitted over the outer wall of the connecting pipe 3 to cover it. This makes the appearance more aesthetically pleasing, and the stainless steel sleeve 15 protects the sealing ring 4 on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 3. When it is necessary to adapt to a European standard drain pipe 5, the American standard drain pipe 5 and the stainless steel sleeve 15 are removed, and the European standard drain pipe 5 is fitted over the outside of the connecting pipe 3.
