[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Please refer to the following: Figure 1-3This utility model discloses a spiral duct that is easy to connect and assemble, including a duct 1. A connector 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of one end side wall of the duct 1. Positioning posts 3 are evenly fixedly connected to the side wall of the connector 2 away from the duct 1. A slot 4 is opened in the middle of the side wall of the duct 1 away from the connector 2. A positioning groove 5 is opened in the middle of one end side wall of the slot 4. The connector 2 is inserted into the slot 4, and the positioning post 3 is inserted into the positioning groove 5.

[0018] The technical advantages of this solution are as follows: slots 4 and fixed connectors 2 are respectively opened at both ends of the air duct 1. When the air duct 1 needs to be assembled, the connector 2 is aligned with the slot 4 on the air duct 1 to be assembled, and then the slot 4 is inserted into the connector 2. After rotation, the positioning pin 3 is inserted into the positioning groove 5, and the assembly connection effect can be achieved. This simple plug-in method can effectively simplify the assembly steps, thereby reducing the cumbersomeness of operation, improving the assembly efficiency, and reducing the need to use too many other parts, thus reducing the assembly cost.

[0019] An anti-retraction plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning post 3 and the side wall away from the connector 2. The anti-retraction plate 8 has a wedge-shaped structure. A storage groove 12 is opened on one side wall of the positioning groove 5. A torsion spring 11 is rotatably connected to one corner of the storage groove 12. A baffle 13 is provided in the storage groove 12. One end of the baffle 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the torsion spring 11. A control plate 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the torsion spring 11 away from the baffle 13. The control plate 10 has an outwardly tilted and raised structure. The positioning post 3 and A pressing block 9 is fixedly connected to the opposite side wall of the control plate 10. The baffle 13 and the anti-retraction plate 8 are corresponding wedge-shaped structures. The end of the pressing block 9 away from the positioning post 3 is an inclined structure. The side wall of the control plate 10 and the pressing block 9 are corresponding inclined structures. A limiting groove 7 is opened in the slot 4 near the opening. The limiting groove 7 is a Z-shaped structure. The outer ring wall of the plug 2 is uniformly fixedly connected with protrusions 6. The protrusions 6 are cylindrical structures. The protrusions 6 are slidably inserted into the limiting groove 7.

[0020] The technical effect of this solution is as follows: A limiting groove 7 is opened in the slot 4. When the connector 2 is inserted into the slot 4, the protrusion 6 will also be inserted into the limiting groove 7 at the same time. After the connector 2 is inserted into the limiting groove 7 to the end, the corresponding air duct 1 is rotated, and then the connector 2 is pushed in. At this time, the positioning post 3 has been aligned with the positioning groove 5 by rotation. Afterwards, the insertion action of the connector 2 will also insert the positioning post 3 into the corresponding positioning groove 5, thereby achieving a complete assembly effect. The limiting groove 7 and the protrusion 6 can improve the anti-retraction performance, while the baffle 13 connected in the positioning groove 5 and the anti-retraction plate 8 connected to the positioning post 3 can improve the stability of the connection.

[0021] Specifically, when using this utility model, the connector 2 is aligned with the corresponding slot 4, and then the connector 2 is inserted into the slot 4. At the same time, the protrusion 6 is inserted into the limiting groove 7. After insertion, the air duct 1 fixed with the connector 2 is rotated, and then it is inserted further to insert the positioning post 3 into the positioning groove 5. As the positioning post 3 is inserted, the anti-retraction plate 8 will first pass through the control plate 10 and the baffle 13 to reach the bottom. Then the pressing block 9 will fit against the control plate 10, and as it descends, it will gradually apply pressure to the control plate 10. Under pressure, the control plate 10 will drive the baffle 13 to tilt up through the torsion spring 11, thereby blocking the top of the anti-retraction plate 8 and completing the sealing of the connection between the positioning post 3 and the positioning groove 5. In this way, the stability of the assembly and splicing is improved.

[0022] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] All other parts of this utility model that are not described in detail belong to the prior art, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
