[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a water distributor that is easy to assemble, including a water distributor body 1. An automatic air vent valve 2 is provided on one side of the water distributor body 1. A sleeve pipe 4 is integrally formed at one end of the water distributor body 1. An insertion pipe 5 is integrally formed at the water inlet of the automatic air vent valve 2. The insertion pipe 5 is inserted into the inside of the sleeve pipe 4. A locking mechanism 3 is provided between the insertion pipe 5 and the sleeve pipe 4. The locking mechanism 3 includes a movable sleeve 11 located outside the sleeve pipe 4. An annular groove 12 is provided on the outer wall of the insertion pipe 5. A guide hole 13 is opened on the outer wall of the sleeve pipe 4. A locking pin 14 is inserted into the guide hole 13. The end of the locking pin 14 is adapted to the annular groove 12. A compression ball 15 is provided between the movable sleeve 11 and the locking pin 14. A relief groove 17 is provided inside the movable sleeve 11.

[0022] Specifically, in this embodiment, it includes a manifold body 1, which is a prior art manifold for underfloor heating. An automatic air vent valve 2 is provided on one side of the manifold body 1. The automatic air vent valve 2 automatically vents air from inside the manifold body 1. The working principle of the automatic air vent valve 2 is based on prior art. A sleeve pipe 4 is integrally formed at one end of the manifold body 1, communicating with the interior of the manifold body 1. A plug pipe 5 is integrally formed at the inlet of the automatic air vent valve 2, inserting into the sleeve pipe 4. The plug pipe 5 can be precisely inserted into the sleeve pipe 4. A locking mechanism 3 is provided between the plug pipe 5 and the sleeve pipe 4 to fix them. The locking mechanism 3 includes a movable sleeve 11 located outside the sleeve pipe 4. An annular groove 12 is provided on the outer wall of the plug pipe 5, and a guide hole 13 is opened on the outer wall of the sleeve pipe 4. There are 2-6 guide holes 13, which are centrally symmetrically distributed on the outer wall of the sleeve 4. A locking pin 14 is inserted into the guide hole 13. The end of the locking pin 14 is adapted to the annular groove 12. The end of the locking pin 14 near the annular groove 12 is hemispherical. A compression ball 15 is provided between the movable sleeve 11 and the locking pin 14. When the end of the locking pin 14 is engaged with the annular groove 12, the movable sleeve 11 can block the compression ball 15, so that the locking pin 14 has no room to move, thereby fixing the insert pipe 5 and the sleeve 4. The movable sleeve 11 has a relief groove 17 inside. When it is necessary to separate the insert pipe 5 and the sleeve 4, the movable sleeve 11 is moved so that the relief groove 17 corresponds to the guide hole 13. At this time, the compression ball 15 has room to move, and the insert pipe 5 can be directly pulled out from the inside of the sleeve 4.

[0023] The present invention provides a water distributor that is easy to assemble. The locking post 14 cooperates with the annular groove 12 on the plug pipe 5, and the locking post 14 is blocked by the movable sleeve 11. This allows the automatic air vent valve 2 to be assembled with the water distributor body 1 by simple plug-in connection, which simplifies the assembly method and makes it more convenient to assemble the air vent valve with the water distributor body 1.

[0024] In another embodiment of this utility model, a spring plate 16 is welded to one side of the outer wall of the extrusion ball 15. The spring plate 16 can undergo elastic deformation when subjected to force. The end of the spring plate 16 away from the extrusion ball 15 is welded to the sleeve 4, so that the extrusion ball 15 can apply elastic force to the locking pin 14 through the spring plate 16, so that the locking pin 14 tends to stay away from the movable sleeve 11, and the inner wall of the guide hole 13 contracts inward, so that the locking pin 14 will not detach from the inside of the guide hole 13. The movable sleeve 11 is located outside the spring plate 16. A spring 18 is provided on the outside of the sleeve 4. The spring 18 is located on the side of the movable sleeve 11 away from the automatic air valve 2. The spring 18 applies elastic force to the movable sleeve 11, so that the blocking of the locking pin 14 by the movable sleeve 11 is more stable, thereby making the assembly of the automatic air valve 2 with the water distributor body 1 more reliable. A sealing groove 20 is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 4. A sealing ring 21 is provided inside the sealing groove 20. The sealing ring 21 is sleeved on the The sealing ring 21 on the outside of the connector 5 improves the sealing effect between the sleeve connector 4 and the connector 5, preventing leakage between them. A mating groove 7 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the sleeve connector 4, and a mating block 6 is fixed on one side of the outer wall of the connector 5. A wedge-shaped surface 19 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the mating block 6. The mating block 6 is located inside the mating groove 7. Since the automatic air vent valve 2 needs to be installed in a vertical direction, the mating block 6 and the mating groove 7 work together to quickly determine the installation direction when assembling the automatic air vent valve 2 with the water distributor body, thus achieving a foolproof effect during assembly. A connecting plate 8 is fixed on the outer wall of the movable sleeve 11. A limit groove 9 is opened on the outer wall of the connecting plate 8. A limit post 10 is fixed on the outer wall of the water distributor body 1. The limit post 10 is located inside the limit groove 9. The limit post 10 and the limit groove 9 limit the movement range of the movable sleeve 11, preventing the movable sleeve 11 from detaching from the sleeve connector 4.

[0025] Working principle: When using the automatic air vent valve 2 and the water distributor body 1, the spring 18 is first compressed by the movable sleeve 11 so that the relief groove 17 corresponds to the guide hole 13. Then, the plug pipe 5 is inserted into the sleeve pipe 4, and the mating block 6 is located inside the mating groove 7. At this time, the compression ball 15 uses the elastic force of the spring plate 16 to engage the end of the locking pin 14 with the annular groove 12 and make a collision sound. Then, the movable sleeve 11 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 18 resets the movable sleeve 11, causing the relief groove 17 of the movable sleeve 11 to be misaligned with the compression ball 15, so that the compression ball 15 cannot move along the axial direction of the guide hole 13. This allows the locking pin 14 to maintain a stable engagement with the annular groove 12, so that the plug pipe 5 and the sleeve pipe 4 cannot be separated.

[0026] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
