The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a universal four-way adapter comprises a main pipe 1, on which a plurality of slots 2 are symmetrically opened, and a first adapter 3 and a second adapter 4 are respectively sleeved on the slots 2. The first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 pass through the slots 2 and are connected to the inside of the main pipe 1. A connecting block 5 is provided between the first adapter 3 and the main pipe 1 and between the second adapter 4 and the main pipe 1. The connecting block 5 is used to connect the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 to the main pipe 1.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a through slot 31 is provided on the connecting block 5, the through slot 31 corresponds to the card slot 2 and matches with the outer walls of the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4, so that the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 can be connected through the connecting block 5 through the main pipe 1.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, one side of the connecting block 5 is set as a plane and the other side is set as an arc surface. The arc surface cooperates with the circumferential surface of the main pipe 1 to receive the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4, so that the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 can be connected to the main pipes 1 of different lengths and diameters.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the connection mode of the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 is set to be a threaded connection. When in use, after the two connection blocks 5 are placed, the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 pass through the connection block 5 and the slot 2 respectively, and are threadedly connected inside the main pipe 1, so that the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 are connected to the main pipe 1. This method can connect the branch pipe, valve, filter component, etc. to the main pipe 1 of different diameters and sizes through threads, buckles, welding, copy forest quick connection, glue, etc.
[0031] like Figure 5As shown, the connection method between the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 is set as snap connection. The connection block 5 can be fixedly arranged on the limiting ring 7 and is an integral structure with the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4. During use, the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 respectively pass through the card slots 2 and are snap-connected inside the main pipe 1, so that the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 are connected to the main pipe 1. The connection is convenient and the operation is simple.
[0032] As Figure 2 shown, the connection method between the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 is set as glue bonding, which improves the installation speed and simplifies the installation process.
[0033] As Figure 2 shown, connecting pieces 6 are arranged at the outer ends of both the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4. During use, they are connected to branch pipes, valves, filtering components, etc. in a threaded manner, improving the usage efficiency of the four-way joint. The branch pipes, valves, filtering components can also be connected to the main pipe 1 by means of snap connection, welding, copy quick connection, glue bonding, etc.
[0034] As Figure 4 shown, a limiting ring 7 is arranged on the connecting piece 6 and the bottom surface of the limiting ring 7 is matched with the plane of the connection block 5, so that the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 can be connected to the main pipe 1.
[0035] Working process
[0036] The two connection blocks 5 are respectively placed on the main pipe 1. The arc surface of the connection block 5 is fitted with the circumferential surface of the main pipe 1 and the through groove 31 corresponds to the card slot 2. The first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 respectively pass through the connection block 5 and the card slot 2 and are connected inside the main pipe 1, so that the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4 are connected to the main pipe 1. Subsequently, branch pipes, valves, filtering components, etc. are connected to the first adapter 3 and the second adapter 4. This method can connect branch pipes, valves, filtering components, etc. to main pipes 1 with different diameters and sizes.
