DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0037] The present disclosure is further described below in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] This specific embodiment is only an explanation of the present disclosure, and it is not a limitation to the present disclosure. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment that do not create any contribution as needed, but the modifications shall be protected by the patent law within the scope of the claims of the present disclosure.

[0039] Embodiment I

[0040] This embodiment relates to an adapter assembly, including a main pipeline 1 and an adapter pipeline 2.

[0041] The main pipeline 1 is configured to circulate gas or liquid. The main pipeline itself has a certain degree of scalability and is soft. The main pipeline 1 includes an extended pipeline 5 and a connection pipeline 3. The extended pipeline 5 and the connection pipelines 3 are made of the same material and are both flexible.

[0042] The extended pipeline 5 is provided with a first end and a second end opposite to the extended pipeline 5. An outlet is arranged at a tail end of the first end of the extended pipeline 5, and gas or liquid is discharged from the outlet. The second end of the extended pipeline 5 is integrally formed with one end of the connection pipeline 3.

[0043] The adapter pipeline 2 is provided with a near end and a far end opposite to the near end. The near end of the adapter pipeline 2 is integrally formed with the other end of the connection pipeline 3, and the far end of the adapter pipeline 2 is configured to be in sleeving connection with a liquid channel or gas channel in a sleeving manner.

[0044] In this embodiment, a material of the adapter pipeline 2 is rubber. In other embodiments, a material of the adapter pipeline 2 can be any of silica gel, latex, or another clastic material.

[0045] In this embodiment, the material of the adapter pipeline 2 is different from a material of main pipeline 1. A flexibility of the adapter pipeline 2 is greater than a flexibility of the main pipeline 1. Then, the near end of adapter pipeline 2 is connected and fixed to the connection pipeline 3 through secondary injection molding, hot melt bonding, or solvent bonding. In other embodiments, the near end of the adapter pipeline 2 can also be connected and fixed to the connection pipeline 3 in a way such as ultrasonic welding, hot plate fusion, or hot gas welding.

[0046] As the adapter pipeline 2 is made of a soft rubber material and has elastic and stretchable characteristics, a shape of the adapter pipeline 2 can change according to shapes of different main pipelines 1 when the adapter pipeline 2 is fixed to the main pipeline 1. In this embodiment, due to the flat shape of the main pipeline 1, when the adapter pipeline 2 is fixed on an outer surface of the main pipeline 1, the adapter pipeline 2 also becomes flat in shape. In other embodiments, if the main pipeline 1 can be round, square, or in another shape, the adapter pipeline 2 corresponds to be round, square, or in another shape.

[0047] A radius of the adapter pipeline 2 is less than or equal to a radius of the main pipeline 1. When an inner wall of the adapter pipeline 2 sleeves the outer surface of the main pipeline 1, due to the elasticity of the material of the adapter pipeline 2, an elastic resetting force generated when the adapter pipeline 2 is stretched causes an inner surface of the adapter pipeline 2 to push and press against an outer surface of the connection pipeline 3, so that the inner surface of the adapter pipeline 2 pushes and seals the outer surface of the connection pipeline 3. A part of the connection pipeline 3 is located in the adapter pipeline 2. An inlet 31 is arranged at a tail end of the part, located in the adapter pipeline 2, of the connection pipeline 3, and the inlet 31 is configured to be in sleeving connection with the gas channel or gas channel. The inlet 31 is also located inside the adapter pipeline 2. The part, located in the adapter pipeline 2, of the connection pipeline 3 sleeves and is inserted into the liquid channel or gas channel. In this way, in order to reserve a mounting travel space for the sleeving connection between the inlet 31 and the liquid channel or gas channel, during sleeving connection, the main pipeline 1 can completely enter or sleeve the liquid channel or gas channel to prevent collapse inside the adapter pipeline 2. If no mounting travel space is reserved between the main pipeline 1 and the adapter pipeline 2, the main pipeline 1 cannot sleeve the liquid channel or gas channel, so that hollows may be formed between the main pipeline 1 and both a water outlet and a gas outlet, causing collapse in the adapter pipeline 2. As a result, the adapter pipeline is easily washed away by gas pressure or water pressure, and connection between the main pipeline 1 and the liquid channel or gas channel is unstable. A radius of the far end of the adapter pipeline 2 is less than a radius of the liquid channel or gas channel. When the adapter pipeline 2 sleeves the liquid channel or gas channel, the elastic resetting force generated when the adapter pipeline 2 is stretched causes the inner surface of the adapter pipeline 2 to push and press against an outer surface of the liquid channel or gas channel, so that the inner surface of the adapter pipeline 2 pushes and seals the outer surface of the liquid channel or gas channel, and the connection between the main pipeline 1 and the liquid channel or gas channel is more stable, to prevent the main pipeline 1 from being washed away by the gas pressure or water pressure.

[0048] Due to the scalability of the adapter pipeline 2, the far end of the adapter pipeline 2 can sleeve liquid channels or gas channels in different sizes, which is simple and convenient.

[0049] A ripple 4 is arranged between the outlet of the main pipeline 1 and the inlet 31. The ripple 4 is convenient for a user to bend the main pipeline 1. The ripple 4 may includes a saw-toothed or wave structure extending from a length direction of the main pipeline 1, such that the main pipeline 1 is able to get longer and bend when an external force provided to the main pipeline 1 along the length direction of the main pipeline 1.

Embodiment II

[0050] This embodiment relates to an adapter assembly. A difference between this embodiment and Embodiment I is that the second end of the extended pipeline 5 is connected to the connection pipeline 3 in a different way.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second end of the extended pipeline 5 is detachably connected to the connection pipeline 3. An inner diameter of the second end of the extended pipeline 5 is less than an outer diameter of the connection pipeline 3 or an outer diameter of the extended pipeline 5 is greater than an inner diameter of the connection pipeline 3. The second end of the extended pipeline 5 and one end of the connection pipeline 3 are in plugging fit to achieve detachable connection.

[0052] The above is only the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements that are made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
