Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pipe connection technology, and in particular to a tee fitting. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pipeline connection technology has been widely applied and developed in fluid transportation systems. Traditional pipeline connection methods mainly include welding, threaded connections, and flange connections. While these traditional connection methods meet practical needs to a certain extent, they still have many shortcomings in terms of ease of installation, sealing performance, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance.

[0003] In existing technologies, a common method for controlling media flow is to install sensors and regulating valves inside the tee fitting. These sensors monitor parameters such as pressure, temperature, and flow rate in the pipeline in real time and feed the data back to the control system. The regulating valve then automatically adjusts its opening and closing based on this data to balance the pressure and flow rate at the two outlets. Another simpler method is to install a fixed partition plate inside the tee fitting, physically changing the flow area ratio at the two outlets to achieve basic flow distribution. However, this method lacks flexibility and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to actual needs.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, installing sensors and regulating valves significantly increases the cost of tee fittings, which is unacceptable for some low-cost applications. Secondly, the complex structural design makes the manufacturing and maintenance of tee fittings more difficult, increasing the complexity of production and use. Therefore, how to achieve effective control of the medium flow rate in tee fittings without significantly increasing costs has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to achieve effective control of the medium flow rate in the tee fitting, this application provides a tee fitting.

[0006] This application provides a tee fitting, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A tee fitting includes a pipe body and a first branching assembly;

[0008] The pipe body includes a first pipe and a second pipe that are perpendicular to each other. One end of the first pipe is a water inlet and the other end is connected to the second pipe. One end of the second pipe is a first water outlet and the other end is a second water outlet. A flow divider is formed at the connection between the first pipe and the second pipe.

[0009] The first diversion component is installed inside the diversion cavity, and the diversion component includes a connecting rod and a diversion plate;

[0010] The connecting rod is parallel to the length of the first pipe and is connected to the pipe body. Two flow dividers are connected to the connecting rod. The two flow dividers are inclined and symmetrically arranged along the connecting rod. There is a water passage gap between the flow divider and the side wall of the first pipe. The flow divider is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The axis of rotation of the flow divider along the connecting rod is perpendicular to both the length of the first pipe and the length of the second pipe.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the first diversion component, water flows into the first pipe through the inlet end and contacts the two diversion plates. Under the guidance of the diversion plates, the water flows into the second pipe and is discharged from the first outlet end and the second outlet end. By setting the diversion plates, the uniformity of water flow discharged from the first outlet end and the second outlet end can be improved, and the uniformity of water flow at both ends of the second pipe can be improved. Moreover, when the water flow through the first pipe is large, a large pressure is applied to the diversion plates to make the diversion plates rotate towards the side closer to the connecting rod, thereby increasing the width of the water passage gap so that water can pass through.

[0012] Optionally, the first diversion assembly further includes a first elastic element, one end of which is directly or indirectly connected to the diversion plate, and the other end of which is directly or indirectly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod. Under recoverable deformation, the first elastic element has a force that drives the diversion plate to move away from the connecting rod.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a first elastic element, which is connected between the connecting rod and the diverter plate, under the action of the first elastic element, when there is no water flow through the first pipe, the diverter plate is in the initial position and the diverter plate is inclined. When the water flow is large, the water flow applies pressure to the diverter plate to make the diverter plate rotate towards the side closer to the connecting rod. When the water flow decreases, the diverter plate gradually rotates from the side closer to the connecting rod back to the initial position.

[0014] Optionally, a second diversion assembly is also included. The second diversion assembly further includes a diversion pipe and a first sliding seat. The diversion pipe is parallel to the second pipe. The diversion pipe is provided with a plurality of first diversion holes and second diversion holes along its circumferential direction. The first sliding seat is located inside the diversion pipe and slides along the length of the diversion pipe. The first diversion holes and the second diversion holes are respectively provided at both ends of the first sliding seat. The first diversion holes communicate with the diversion cavity, and the second diversion holes communicate with the diversion cavity.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when water flows into the second pipe, there may be a difference in water pressure at the first outlet and the second outlet in the second pipe. To address this, a second diversion component is installed. When the water pressure at the first outlet and the second outlet in the second pipe is different, for example, if the water pressure at the first outlet is higher, the first sliding seat will be pushed to slide towards the second outlet in the diversion pipe, so that the first sliding seat slides towards the second diversion hole. The first sliding seat will further block the second diversion hole, thereby reducing the water passage space of the second diversion hole and changing the amount of water entering through the second diversion hole, thus balancing the water pressure at both ends of the second pipe.

[0016] Optionally, it also includes a limiting ring, which is located inside the second pipe. Each end of the diversion pipe is provided with a limiting ring. The limiting ring is engaged with the second pipe and contacts the diversion pipe to prevent the diversion pipe from sliding out of the second pipe.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to reduce the sliding of the diversion pipe in the second pipe, limiting rings are set at both ends of the diversion pipe to block the sliding of the diversion pipe in the second pipe, thereby improving the stability of the diversion pipe in the second pipe.

[0018] Optionally, a first groove is provided on one side of the diverter pipe along its own length, and the end of the connecting rod away from the diverter plate passes through the first groove and is connected to the first sliding seat.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to further adjust the water flow pressure at both ends of the second pipe, a connecting pipe is set to connect to the first sliding seat. When the first sliding seat slides along the length of the second pipe, it drives the diverter plate to slide inside the first pipe through the connecting rod, thereby changing the width of the water passage gap between the diverter plate and the inner wall of the first pipe, and further adjusting the water flow rate through the first pipe. If the water pressure at the first outlet end is large, it will push the first sliding seat to slide towards the second outlet end in the diverter pipe, driving the connecting rod to slide. The area of ​​the second diverter hole decreases, and the water passage gap between the diverter plate near the second outlet end and the inner wall of the first pipe will also decrease, thereby reducing the water flow rate. The water pressure at the second outlet end of the second pipe will increase as the water flows through the second diverter hole, further adjusting the water pressure at both ends of the second pipe to a balanced state.

[0020] Optionally, the connecting rod is connected to each of the diverter plates via a telescopic rod. The telescopic rod is located on the side of the diverter plate closer to the diverter pipe. The movable section of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the diverter plate, and the fixed section of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The movable section and the fixed section of the telescopic rod are slidably connected at their adjacent ends.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to ensure that the diverter plate can always divert the water flow entering the first water pipe, if one side of the diverter plate contacts the side wall of the connecting rod, the diverter plate will not be able to guide and divert the water flow. Therefore, by setting a telescopic rod between the diverter plate and the connecting rod, the diverter plate cannot contact the connecting rod during rotation, so as to ensure that the diverter plate can still divert the water flow even when the water flow is too large.

[0022] Optionally, a second sliding seat is sleeved on the connecting rod, and the second sliding seat slides along the length of the connecting rod. One end of the telescopic rod away from the diverter plate is rotatably connected to the second sliding seat, and the other end of the telescopic rod away from the diverter plate is rotatably connected to the second sliding seat.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when water enters from the first pipe, in order to make the water flow through the two diverter plates to the second pipe as even as possible, a second sliding seat is set up. When one of the diverter plates rotates under the action of water pressure, it drives the second sliding seat to slide along the length of the connecting rod, thereby driving the other diverter plate to rotate, so as to ensure that the rotation angle of the two diverter plates is the same, and that the water flow through the two diverter plates is the same.

[0024] Optionally, the connecting rod can be detachably connected to the first sliding seat.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting rod is detachably connected to the first sliding seat, which facilitates the installation of the connecting rod and the diverter plate by personnel.

[0026] Optionally, a connecting assembly is also included. The connecting assembly includes two fixed rods, a second mounting base, and a mounting block. Two second mounting bases are fixedly connected to the first sliding base. The connecting rod is disposed between the two second mounting bases. The connecting rod has a second sliding groove along its length. A third sliding groove is formed on each of the two side walls of the connecting rod. The third sliding groove communicates with the second sliding groove. One end of the fixed rod is located above the connecting rod, and the other end is located in the third sliding groove. The fixed rod slides in the second sliding groove along a direction parallel to the length of the second pipe. The mounting block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed rod. The third sliding groove is used for the mounting block to slide out of the second sliding groove. A receiving groove for accommodating the mounting block is formed on one side of the second mounting base.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to connect the first sliding seat and the connecting rod, a connecting component is set up. The two connecting rods are slid towards each other, causing the mounting block to move into the second sliding groove. The connecting rod is placed between the two second mounting seats. Then, the two connecting rods are slid towards each other, so that the mounting block is slid from the third sliding groove into the receiving groove, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting rod and the first sliding seat.

[0028] Optionally, the connecting assembly further includes a second elastic element located within the second groove. The extension and retraction direction of the second elastic element is parallel to the second pipe. One end of the second elastic element is fixedly connected to the groove wall of the second groove, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixing rod. Under recoverable deformation, the second elastic element has a force that drives the second mounting seat to move outward toward the third groove.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to connect the fixed rod and the connecting rod, a second elastic element is set. When the person pulls the two fixed rods toward each other, the second elastic element is stretched. When the person releases the hand, under the force of the second elastic element, the mounting block further enters the receiving groove, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the connecting rod and the first sliding seat.

[0030] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. This application, by setting a first diversion component, allows water to enter through the inlet end of the first pipe and contact the two diversion plates. Guided by the diversion plates, the water enters the second pipe and is discharged from the first outlet end and the second outlet end. By setting the diversion plates, the uniformity of water flow discharged from the first outlet end and the second outlet end can be improved. When the water flow through the first pipe is large, a large pressure is applied to the diversion plates to make them rotate towards the side closer to the connecting rod, thereby increasing the width of the water passage gap to allow water to pass through.

[0032] 2. By setting a second diversion component, if the water pressure at the first outlet is high, the first sliding seat will be pushed to slide towards the second outlet side inside the diversion pipe, causing the connecting rod to slide. The area of ​​the second diversion hole will decrease, and the water passage gap between the diversion plate near the second outlet and the inner wall of the first pipe will also decrease, thereby reducing the water flow. The water pressure at the second outlet of the second pipe will increase as the water flows through the second diversion hole, further adjusting the water pressure at both ends of the second pipe to a balanced state.

[0033] 3. This application provides a detachable connection between the connecting rod and the sliding seat to facilitate the installation or removal of the connecting rod and the diverter plate by personnel. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0043] This application discloses a tee fitting. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The tee fitting includes a pipe body 1 and a first diversion assembly 2. The pipe body 1 includes a first pipe 11 and a second pipe 12 that are perpendicular to each other. One end of the first pipe 11 is an inlet 111, and the other end is connected to the second pipe 12. One end of the second pipe 12 is a first outlet 121, and the other end is a second outlet 122. A diversion cavity 13 is formed at the connection between the first pipe 11 and the second pipe 121. The first diversion assembly 2 is installed in the diversion cavity 13. The first diversion assembly 2 includes a connecting rod 21 and a diversion plate 22. The connecting rod 21 is parallel to the length direction of the first pipe 11 and is connected to the pipe body 1. Two diversion plates 22 are connected to the connecting rod 21. The two diversion plates 22 are inclined and are connected along the connecting rod 21. The connecting rods 21 are symmetrically arranged, and the diverter plate 22 has a water passage gap 23 with the inner wall of the first pipe 11. Specifically, the diverter plate 22 is inclined in the direction away from the connecting rod 21 along the water flow direction. One end of the diverter plate 22 away from the connecting rod 21 is inclined towards the first outlet 121, and the other end of the diverter plate 22 away from the connecting rod 21 is inclined towards the second outlet 122. The water flows into the first pipe 11 through the inlet 111 and comes into contact with the two diverter plates 22. Under the guidance of the diverter plate 22, the water flows into the second pipe 12 and is discharged from the first outlet 121 and the second outlet 122. By setting the diverter plate 22, the uniformity of the water flow discharged from the first outlet 121 and the second outlet 122 can be improved.

[0044] join Figure 2 When the water flow through the first pipe 11 is large, in order to facilitate the water flow, the diverter plate 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 21. The diverter plate 22 is perpendicular to both the length of the first pipe 11 and the length of the second pipe 12 along the rotation axis of the connecting rod 21. When the water flow through the first pipe 11 is large, a large pressure is applied to the diverter plate 22 to make the diverter plate 22 rotate toward the side closer to the connecting rod 21, thereby increasing the width of the water passage gap 23 so that the water can flow through.

[0045] join Figure 2 and Figure 3To reset the diverter plate 22, the first diverter assembly 2 further includes a first elastic element 24, a first rotating shaft 25, and a first mounting base 26. The diverter plate 22 has a mounting groove 221 on the side near the connecting rod 21. One end of the first mounting base 26 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 21, and the other end is located within the mounting groove 221. Two first mounting bases 26 are provided within the mounting groove 221. The first rotating shaft 25 passes through the diverter plate 22 and the first mounting base 26, and is rotatably connected to the first mounting base 26. The diverter plate 22 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 25. The first elastic element 24 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 25. The elastic element 24 is fixedly connected between the two first mounting seats 26. Under recoverable deformation, the first elastic element 24 has a force that drives the diverter plate 22 to move away from the connecting rod 21. In this embodiment, the first elastic element 24 is a torsion spring. Under the action of the first elastic element 24, when there is no water flow through the first pipe 11, the diverter plate 22 is in the initial position and the diverter plate 22 is inclined. When the water flow is large, the water flow applies pressure to the diverter plate 22 to make the diverter plate 22 rotate towards the side closer to the connecting rod 21. When the water flow decreases, the diverter plate 22 gradually rotates from the side closer to the connecting rod 21 back to the initial position.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 When water flows into the second pipe 12, there may be a difference in water pressure between the first outlet 121 and the second outlet 122 within the second pipe 12. Therefore, the tee fitting also includes a second diversion assembly 3. The second diversion assembly 3 includes a diversion pipe 31 and a first sliding seat 32. The diversion pipe 31 is parallel to the second pipe 12, and multiple first diversion holes 311 and second diversion holes 312 are provided on the diversion pipe 31 along its circumferential direction. In this embodiment, the first diversion hole 311 is located on the side of the diversion pipe 31 near the first outlet 121, and the second diversion hole 312 is located on the side of the diversion pipe 31 near the second outlet 122. The first sliding seat 32 is located inside the diversion pipe 31 and slides along the length of the diversion pipe 31. The first sliding seat 311 and the second diversion hole 312 are respectively disposed at both ends of the first sliding seat 32. The first diversion hole 311 is connected to the diversion cavity 13, and the second diversion hole 312 is connected to the diversion cavity 13. When the water pressure at the first outlet 121 and the second outlet 122 in the second pipe 12 is different, for example, if the water pressure at the first outlet 121 is larger, it will push the first sliding seat 32 to slide towards the second outlet 122 in the diversion pipe 31, so that the first sliding seat 32 slides towards the second diversion hole 312. The first sliding seat 32 will further block the second diversion hole 312, thereby reducing the water passage space of the second diversion hole 312, changing the distribution of water entering through the second diversion hole 312, thereby balancing the water pressure at both ends of the second pipe 12.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In order to reduce the sliding of the diversion pipe 31 in the second pipe 12, the tee fitting also includes a limiting ring 4. The limiting ring 4 is located in the second pipe 12. A limiting ring 4 is provided at each end of the diversion pipe 31. The limiting ring 4 is engaged with the second pipe 12 and contacts the diversion pipe 31 so as to prevent the diversion pipe 31 from sliding out of the second pipe 12.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 To further adjust the water flow pressure at both ends of the second pipe 12, a first groove 313 is provided on one side of the diversion pipe 31 along its own length. The end of the connecting rod 21 away from the diversion plate 22 passes through the first groove 313 and is connected to the first sliding seat 32. When the first sliding seat 32 slides along the length of the second pipe 12, it drives the diversion plate 22 to slide inside the first pipe 11 through the connecting rod 21, thereby changing the width of the water passage gap 23 between the diversion plate 22 and the inner wall of the first pipe 11, and further adjusting the water flow rate through the first pipe 11. If the water pressure at the first outlet 121 is high, it will push the first sliding seat 32 to slide towards the second outlet 122 in the diversion pipe 31, causing the connecting rod 21 to slide. The area of ​​the second diversion hole 312 will decrease, and the water passage gap 23 between the diversion plate 22 near the second outlet 122 and the inner wall of the first pipe 11 will also decrease, thereby reducing the water flow. The water pressure at the second outlet 122 of the second pipe 12 will increase as the water flows through the second diversion hole 312, further adjusting the water pressure at both ends of the second pipe 12 to a balanced state.

[0049] Reference Figure 5 To ensure that the diverter plate 22 can always divert the water flow entering the first water pipe, one side of the diverter plate 22 cannot contact the connecting rod 21. Therefore, the connecting rod 21 is connected to each diverter plate 22 by a telescopic rod 5. The telescopic rod 5 is located on the side of the diverter plate 22 closer to the diverter pipe 31, and the telescopic rod 5 is inclined. The movable section of the telescopic rod 5 is rotatably connected to the end of the diverter plate 22 away from the connecting rod 21, and the fixed section of the telescopic rod 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 21. The ends of the movable section and the fixed section of the telescopic rod 5 that are close to each other are slidably connected. By setting the telescopic rod 5, the diverter plate 22 cannot contact the connecting rod 21 during rotation, so as to ensure that the diverter plate 22 can still divert the water flow even when the water flow is too large.

[0050] Reference Figure 5When water enters through the first pipe 11, in order to make the water flow through the two diversion plates 22 to the second pipe 12 as even as possible, a second sliding seat 6 is fitted on the connecting rod 21. The second sliding seat 6 slides along the length of the connecting rod 21. One end of a telescopic rod 5 away from the diversion plate 22 is rotatably connected to the second sliding seat 6, and the other end of the telescopic rod 5 away from the diversion plate 22 is rotatably connected to the second sliding seat 6. When one of the diversion plates 22 rotates under the action of water pressure, it drives the second sliding seat 6 to slide along the length of the connecting rod 21, thereby driving the other diversion plate 22 to rotate, so as to ensure that the rotation angle of the two diversion plates 22 is the same, and that the water flow through the two diversion plates 22 is the same.

[0051] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments, the connecting rod 21 and the first sliding seat 32 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected. In order to facilitate the installation of the connecting rod 21 and the diverter plate 22, in this embodiment, the connecting rod 21 is detachably connected to the first sliding seat 32.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 To connect the first sliding seat 32 to the connecting rod 21, the tee fitting also includes a connecting assembly 7. The connecting assembly 7 includes two fixed rods 71, a second mounting seat 72, and a mounting block 73. Two second mounting seats 72 are fixedly connected to the first sliding seat 32. The connecting rod 21 is located between the two second mounting seats 72. The connecting rod 21 has a second sliding groove 211 extending through it along its length. A third sliding groove 212 is formed on each of the two side walls of the connecting rod 21. The third sliding groove 212 communicates with the second sliding groove 211. One end of the fixed rod 71 is located above the connecting rod 21, and the other end is located inside the third sliding groove 212. The fixed rod 71 is located inside the second sliding groove 211. Sliding along the length of the second pipe 12, the mounting block 73 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing rod 71. The third sliding groove 212 is used for the mounting block 73 to slide out of the second sliding groove 211. The second mounting seat 72 has a receiving groove 721 on one side for accommodating the mounting block 73. The two connecting rods 21 are slid towards each other, causing the mounting block 73 to move into the second sliding groove 211. The connecting rods 21 are placed between the two second mounting seats 72. Then the two connecting rods 21 are slid towards each other, so that the mounting block 73 can slide from the third sliding groove 212 into the receiving groove 721, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting rods 21 and the first sliding seat 32.

[0053] Reference Figure 7In order to connect the fixing rod 71 and the connecting rod 21, the connecting assembly 7 also includes a second elastic element 74. The second elastic element 74 is located in the second slide groove 211. Each fixing rod 71 is fixed to the connecting rod 21 through the second elastic element 74. The extension and retraction direction of the second elastic element 74 is parallel to the second pipe 12. One end of the second elastic element 74 is fixedly connected to the groove wall of the second slide groove 211, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 71. Under recoverable deformation, the second elastic element 74 has a force that drives the second mounting seat 72 to move outward toward the third slide groove 212. In this embodiment, the second elastic element 74 is a tension spring.

[0054] The implementation principle of a tee fitting in this application embodiment is as follows: A first diversion assembly 2 and a second diversion assembly 3 are installed inside the pipe body 1. Water flows into the first pipe 11 through the inlet end 111 and contacts the two diversion plates 22. Guided by the diversion plates 22, the water flows into the second pipe 12 and is discharged from the first outlet end 121 and the second outlet end 122. When the water flow through the first pipe 11 is large, a larger pressure is applied to the diversion plates 22, causing them to rotate towards the side closer to the connecting rod 21, thereby increasing the width of the water passage gap 23. This ensures smooth water flow. If the water pressure at the first outlet 121 is high, it will push the first sliding seat 32 to slide towards the second outlet 122 inside the diversion pipe 31, causing the connecting rod 21 to slide. The area of ​​the second diversion hole 312 will decrease, and the water passage gap 23 between the diversion plate 22 near the second outlet 122 and the inner wall of the first pipe 11 will also decrease, thereby reducing the water flow. The water pressure at the second outlet 122 of the second pipe 12 will increase as the water flows through the second diversion hole 312, further adjusting the water pressure at both ends of the second pipe 12 to a balanced state.

[0055] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
