Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of three-way connectors, in particular to a rotatable three-way connector. Background Art

[0002] The foldable bathtub is lightweight and convenient. It is much lighter than a bathtub and can be folded directly after use. It occupies a smaller area and is more suitable for small-sized families. When assembling the foldable bathtub, a three-way connector is required to connect the bent pipe and the folded vertical rod of the foldable bathtub.

[0003] For example, in the prior art, patent publication number "CN220249276U" proposes a three-way connector for a bathtub, which has been widely used in the market, but still has certain defects. When the existing three-way connector is in use, when the folding bathtub is folded, the two ends of the curved pipe and the three-way connector are stress points, which causes the two ends of the horizontal pipe on the three-way connector to often break. Therefore, we propose a rotatable three-way connector. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a rotatable three-way connector, which solves the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions: a rotatable three-way connector, including a vertical pipe and a bend pipe connecting a horizontal pipe, the top of the vertical pipe is fixedly connected to a horizontal pipe connecting ring, one side of the horizontal pipe connecting ring is provided with an opening, the inner cavity of the horizontal pipe connecting ring is rotatably sleeved with a bend pipe connecting a horizontal pipe, and the surface of the bend pipe connecting the horizontal pipe and on both sides of the horizontal pipe connecting ring are fixedly connected with limiting rings.

[0006] Preferably, through holes are provided on both end sides of the curved pipe connecting the horizontal pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the vertical tube and the horizontal tube connecting ring are an integrally formed structure.

[0008] Preferably, the curved pipe connecting the transverse pipe and the limiting ring are an integrally formed structure.

[0009] Preferably, the inner cavity of the through hole is circular, and the through holes are symmetrically arranged.

[0010] Preferably, the two ends of the curved pipe connecting the horizontal pipe are arc-shaped.

[0011] The utility model provides a rotatable three-way connector, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The rotatable three-way connector is used in conjunction with the vertical tube, the horizontal tube connecting ring and the limit ring. Compared with the traditional old three-way connector, when the folding bathtub is folded, the horizontal tube connecting ring and the elbow connecting the horizontal tube rotate relative to each other, and the vertical tube rotates directly without any obstruction. At this time, there is no need for the elbow connecting the horizontal tube and the elbow to rotate and change, thereby changing the stress point when the folding bathtub is folded, making the folding process smoother, thereby avoiding the situation in which the traditional three-way connector is easily broken due to stress at the connection between the two ends and the elbow during use, thereby extending the service life of the folding bathtub. In addition, the connector has a simpler structure, a simpler production process and a low manufacturing cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0018] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model provides a rotatable three-way connector, including a vertical tube 1 and a curved tube connecting transverse tube 3, characterized in that: a transverse tube connecting ring 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical tube 1, and an opening 5 is provided on one side of the transverse tube connecting ring 2. The inner cavity of the transverse tube connecting ring 2 is rotatably sleeved with a curved tube connecting transverse tube 3. The surface of the curved tube connecting transverse tube 3 and the two sides of the transverse tube connecting ring 2 are fixedly connected with limiting rings 4. The limiting rings 4 are used to limit the position of the transverse tube connecting ring 2 on the curved tube connecting transverse tube 3 and play a limiting role. When the folding is pushed, the transverse tube connecting ring 2 and the curved tube connecting transverse tube 3 rotate relative to each other, and the vertical tube 1 will rotate directly without obstruction. At this time, there is no need for the curved tube connecting transverse tube 3 and the curved tube to rotate and change, thereby changing the stress point when the foldable bathtub is folded, thereby avoiding the situation that the traditional three-way connector is easily broken when the connection between the two ends and the curved tube is stressed during use.

[0019] Among them, through holes 6 are provided on the side surfaces of both ends of the elbow connecting the horizontal pipe 3, the inner cavity of the through holes 6 is circular, and the through holes 6 are symmetrically arranged.

[0020] The vertical pipe 1 and the horizontal pipe connecting ring 2 are an integrally formed structure.

[0021] Among them, the curved pipe connecting the horizontal pipe 3 and the limiting ring 4 are an integrally formed structure, which is more stable.

[0022] The two ends of the elbow connecting transverse pipe 3 are arc-shaped, and the two ends of the elbow connecting transverse pipe 3 are used to connect the elbow of the folding bathtub, and the elbows are respectively inserted into the inner cavities at the two ends of the elbow connecting transverse pipe 3.

[0023] To sum up, when using the rotatable three-way connector, first assemble it, insert the elbow connecting transverse tube 3 into the inner cavity of the transverse tube connecting ring 2 through the opening 5, and after being sleeved in the inner cavity of the transverse tube connecting ring 2, insert the elbow of the folding bathtub into the two ends of the elbow connecting transverse tube 3 for installation, so that the elbow and the elbow connecting transverse tube 3 form a circular ring, assemble two groups of circular rings, and then rotate the vertical tube 1 to a vertical state, insert the two ends of the folding vertical rod of the folding bathtub into the inner cavity of the vertical tube 1 on the two circular rings placed up and down, and the frame installation of the folding bathtub can be completed. When folding, push the folding vertical rod to rotate inward, thereby driving the vertical tube 1 to rotate, and then the transverse tube connecting ring 2 to rotate. As the rotation angle of the vertical tube 1 becomes larger and larger, the folding bathtub will slowly fold.
