Abstract

A connecting mechanism of a flexible pipe and an outlet device, includes a pipe fixing seat fixedly connected to a flexible pipe, an outlet fixing seat fixedly connected to an outlet device and a joint having a ball joint. Water in the flexible pipe is deflected to the outlet device by the pipe fixing seat and the joint. The joint is fixedly connected to the outlet fixing seat and the outlet fixing seat is disposed with a self-lock surface surrounding the ball joint. An end of the pipe fixing seat is concaved with an assembly groove. The groove opening of the assembly groove protrudes inwardly with an anti-off portion. The ball joint is assembled in the assembly groove by the elastic deformation of the end portion of the pipe fixing seat. The anti-off portion connects the ball joint to the pipe fixing seat.
