This application claims the priority of China Patent Application No. 202321739431.0 filed on Jul. 4, 2023, entitled “Interface With Odor-resistant Component”, the entire contents of which, including the amendments therein, are all incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to the technical field of pipeline odor-resistant plugs, in particular to an interface with an odor-resistant component.
The floor drain used indoors in buildings may easily entrain sand and hair, and impurities such as fiber fabrics are easy to block at the lower through hole, which causes some trouble to the floor drain and is extremely difficult to clean and eliminate; and the floor drain is connected with the drainage pipeline arranged on the ground. In use, the phenomena of easy blockage, anti-water, anti-odor, etc. may occur for the conventional floor drain often, which often causes a lot of troubles in domestic use, so people often put the pipeline odor-resistant plug in the floor drain.
In the prior art, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 11,753,811, there is provided an apparatus for preventing offensive odors for a drain port; it deodorizes through an odor-resistant component mounted at the water outlet, and the odor-resistant component is opened to connect or disconnect the opening. In the process of downward flow of water, the odor-resistant component is opened due to the impact of the water flow, and the water flow can normally flow to a sewer pipe, and the odor-resistant component is closed under the condition of no water flow to prevent the odor of the sewer pipe from flowing upward. For example, U.S. patent publication No. US20130000035A1 further provides a wastewater discharge device, which can be quickly mounted under the floor drain and deodorized by providing a detachable odor-resistant device to block odor.
However, the odor-resistant component of the odor-resistant device disclosed above is not detachable or difficult to disassemble after installation, and thus it is inconvenient to maintain when replacement and cleaning are needed, and the odor-resistant effect cannot be achieved after long-term use.
Based on the above problems, it is necessary to propose an interface with an odor-resistant component, which has a detachable odor-resistant component and is easy to replace, so that the odor-resistant effect is good, and the structure is simple and the replacement is convenient.

When disassembling, the cover plate 3 is pressed inward from both sides, and the cover plate 3 is made of a plastic material, so that the cover plate 3 is elastically deformed, and the first boss 33 is separated from the hook 14, so that the cover plate 3 can be disassembled from the shell 1.
The interface further includes a buckle 5, which is detachably connected with the shell 1. Specifically, a connecting hook 15 is arranged on the side wall of one end of the shell 1 connected with the pipeline 100; a stop block 51 is arranged on the buckle 5, and the connecting hook 15 is hooked on the stop block 51 to realize the connection between the buckle 5 and the shell 1. A first seal 6 is arranged between the buckle 5 and the shell 1, and the seal is arranged by a sealing ring or a gasket. The corrugated pipe is mounted on the shell by the buckle, and the seal is convenient to assemble and disassemble.
The upper side wall of the cover plate 3 is provided with a first convex rib 34, and a first positioning groove 35 is formed between the first convex rib 34 and the side wall. The upper end of the fixed seat 21 is clamped in the first positioning groove 35, and the two inner side walls of the cover plate 3 are provided with second bosses 36. The middle part of the fixed seat 21 is erected on the second bosses 36, which is simple in structure and convenient to install. Two second convex ribs 16 are arranged on the inner side wall of the shell 1. The two second convex ribs 16 are arranged at intervals to form a second positioning groove 17, and the lower end of the fixed seat 21 is clamped in the second positioning groove 17, so that the structure of the fixed seat 21 is firm and stable, and will not be displaced under the influence of water flow.
