[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The image shows a press-fit drain connector.

[0040] Example 1: Includes a metal connector 1, a sealing element 2, a sealing element 3, a connecting element 4, and a protective element 6. The metal connector 1 is used to connect with the box product and communicates with the interior of the box product. The sealing element 2 is located on the side of the metal connector 1 and is used to seal the interior of the metal connector 1. The sealing element 3 is located between the sealing element 2 and the metal connector 1 and is used to seal the connection between the sealing element 2 and the metal connector 1. The connecting element 4 is located on the other side of the metal connector 1 and is used to connect with the sealing element 2 to apply pressure to the fit between the sealing element 2 and the metal connector 1. The protective element 6 is located on the metal connector 1 and is used to protect the metal connector 1 from detachment.

[0041] Furthermore, the metal connector 1 includes a main body 11 and a connecting cylinder 12. The main body 11 is hexagonal to facilitate the installation of the connecting cylinder 12 with the housing product. The connecting cylinder 12 has external threads on its exterior. The housing product has a drain hole that mates with the connecting cylinder 12, and the inner wall of the drain hole has internal threads that mate with the connecting cylinder 12. A sealing ring is provided between the connecting cylinder 12 and the drain hole to facilitate sealing. The interior of the connecting cylinder 12 is connected to the interior of the T-slot and the interior of the housing product to facilitate the drainage of condensate. The side of the main body 11 has a T-slot, and the connecting cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the main body 11. The side of the connecting cylinder 12 has an annular assembly groove.

[0042] Specifically, the sealing component 2 includes a cube 21, a support platform 22, and a docking ring 23. The cube 21 is useful for sealing the inside of the connecting cylinder 12 to seal the inside of the box product. The support platform 22 is useful for supporting the connecting column 24. The docking ring 23 is useful for inserting into the rubber ring 31 to increase the sealing between the cube 21 and the connecting cylinder 12. The cube 21 is located on the side of the connecting cylinder 12. The support platform 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the cube 21. The support platform 22 is slidably inserted into the inside of the connecting cylinder 12. The docking ring 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the cube 21.

[0043] More specifically, the sealing component 2 also includes a connecting post 24, which facilitates connection with the spring post 41 to connect the spring post 41 and the cube 21. The connecting post 24 has external threads on its exterior and is located inside the connecting cylinder 12.

[0044] Specifically, the sealing element 3 includes a rubber ring 31, a protrusion, and an annular groove 32. The rubber ring 31 facilitates sealing between the body 21 and the connecting cylinder 12 to increase the sealing performance. The protrusion facilitates pressing against the inner wall of the annular assembly groove to lock and fix the rubber ring 31, preventing the rubber ring 31 from sliding out at will. The rubber ring 31 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the annular assembly groove. The protrusion is fixedly connected to the outside of the rubber ring 31 and fits against the inner wall of the annular assembly groove. The annular groove 32 is opened on the side of the rubber ring 31, and the mating ring 23 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the annular groove 32.

[0045] Specifically, the protective component 6 includes a fixed base 61, a protective post 62, a sliding post 64, and an elastic rope 65. The fixed base 61 facilitates the sliding of the protective post 62. The housing product has a limiting hole that cooperates with the protective post 62. The protective post 62 helps to lock the installation position of the main body 11, preventing the main body 11 from rotating arbitrarily and improving adaptability and stability. The sliding post 64 helps to shield and protect the inside of the circular groove, and in turn helps to shield and protect the elastic rope 65 from external contamination. The sliding post 64 helps to support the elastic rope 65, and the tension of the elastic rope 65 helps to... After the operating plate 63 moves the protective column 62, it returns to its original position, which facilitates repeated operation of the protective column 62. The fixed base 61 is fixedly connected to the top of the main body 11. The protective column 62 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the fixed base 61. The operating plate 63 is fixedly connected to the end of the protective column 62, which is conducive to pulling the protective column 62. The sliding column 64 is fixedly connected to the side of the operating plate 63. A circular groove is opened on the side of the fixed base 61. The sliding column 64 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the circular groove. One end of the elastic rope 65 is fixedly connected to the sliding column 64, and the other end of the elastic rope 65 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular groove.

[0046] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the connector 4 includes a spring post 41 and a compression spring 5. The spring post 41 facilitates the movement of the connecting post 24, pushing the cube 21 away from the connecting cylinder 12, allowing condensate to flow out from the inside of the connecting cylinder 12, then through the inside of the T-groove, and further through the gap between the spring post 41 and the T-groove, before being discharged. The elastic force of the compression spring 5 facilitates the movement of the annular plate, ensuring closer contact between the cube 21 and the connecting cylinder 12. The spring is pressurized to increase the sealing between the cube 21 and the connecting cylinder 12. The spring column 41 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the T-slot. The end of the spring column 41 is provided with a mounting hole 42 that matches the connecting column 24. The inner wall of the mounting hole 42 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread. The other end of the spring column 41 is fixedly connected to an annular plate. The compression spring 5 is sleeved on the outside of the spring column 41. One end of the compression spring 5 is in contact with the inner wall of the T-slot, and the other end of the compression spring 5 is in contact with the side of the annular plate.
