Abstract
A flow control structure of a water hose joint has: a hose connector, a coupler, a control section, and a hose. The coupler is coupled with the hose connector, the control section is sleeved on the coupler, and the coupler is inserted into the hose, so as to complete a flow control structure of the hose connector. By combining the hose connector with a connecting pipe and rotating the control section to adjust the relative position of the control section and the coupler to change the water flow, which has the effect of simple flow adjustment.
