[0002] Four-way pipe fittings are pipeline connectors used at the confluence of four identical or different pipelines. Their main function is to change the direction of fluid. They can be classified into straight four-ways, oblique four-ways, and reducing four-ways according to type. Four-way pipe fittings are made of carbon steel, cast steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and other materials according to their materials. The commonly used processing methods are hydroforming and hot pressing. As connectors, the connection methods between four-way pipe fittings and steel are generally welding connection or threaded connection, etc. However, traditional connection methods have many disadvantages:

[0003] (1) Welding connection: During the construction of welding connection, heavy tools and numerous auxiliary materials are required. Open-flame welding is carried out during installation, which has many potential safety hazards. Painting needs to be repeated many times during installation and later maintenance, which requires high skills of workers, unstable quality, long process time, and high cost.

[0004] (2) Threaded connection: During the construction of threaded connection, heavy tools and numerous auxiliary materials are required. A heavy and complicated threading process is needed, and it requires professional technicians with long working experience to operate. Painting also needs to be repeated many times later, and the process time is long.

[0005] In addition, at present, after the pipes and pipe fittings are installed, the pipes and pipe fittings are placed naturally in the air. When moving objects or accidentally touching the pipes or pipe fittings, the relative positions of the pipes and pipe fittings will change due to external force collision, and there is a hidden danger of fluid leakage. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects and deficiencies existing in four-way pipe fittings in the existing market, and provide a carbon steel press-fit hydroformed four-way pipe fitting, which uses a crimping connection method and a fixing device to fix the pipe fitting, making the connection between the pipe fitting and the profile more tight and reliable, the construction simple and fast, and the construction cost low.

[0027] Embodiment

[0028] As Figures 1-5 shown, a carbon steel press-fitting hydroforming four-way pipe fitting of the present utility model includes a pipe fitting main body 1 and a fixing device 6. First press joints 2 and second press joints 3 are fixed at the left and right ends of the pipe fitting main body 1. Third press joints 4 and fourth press joints 5 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the pipe fitting main body 1. The outer wall ends of the first press joints 2, the second press joints 3, the third press joints 4, and the fourth press joints 5 are all provided with convex structures 8. The inner wall of the convex structure 8 is provided with an O-ring placement groove 9. An O-ring 10 is arranged inside the O-ring placement groove 9. The fixing device 6 is arranged on the first press joints 2 and the second press joints 3.

[0029] The first press joints 2, the second press joints 3, and the pipe fitting main body 1 are of an integral structure. A first weld seam 11 is arranged between the third press joints 4 and the pipe fitting main body 1. A second weld seam 12 is arranged between the fourth press joints 5 and the pipe fitting main body 1. The third press joints 4 and the fourth press joints 5 are both fixed to the pipe fitting main body 1 by welding.

[0030] The number of the fixing devices 6 is set to 2.

[0031] The fixing device 6 includes an installation base 601, a front ring 602, and a rear ring 603. Connecting rods 7 are arranged at both ends of the rear ring 603. First connection holes 13 are arranged at both ends of the rear ring 603. The front ring 602 and the rear ring 603 are fixedly connected by passing the connecting rods 7 through the first connection holes 13 and using first nuts 14. The installation base 601 and the connecting rods 7 are fixedly connected by second nuts 15. And the installation base 601 is fixed to the wall surface by fastening bolts 18.

[0032] The connecting rods 7 and the rear ring 603 are of an integral structure, and the connecting rods 7 are provided with external threads.

[0033] Second connection holes 17 are arranged at the middle positions of the installation bases 601. Installation holes 16 are arranged at both ends of the installation bases 601. The numbers of the second connection holes 17 and the installation holes 16 are both set to 2.

[0034] The first press joints 2 and the second press joints 3 are symmetric with each other about the central axis of the pipe fitting main body 1. The third press joints 4 and the fourth press joints 5 are symmetric with each other about the central axis of the pipe fitting main body 1.

[0035] The material of the O-ring 10 is ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber.

[0036] The working principle of a carbon steel press-fitting hydroforming four-way pipe fitting of the present utility model:

[0037] Insert the upper and lower ends and the left and right ends of the fitting body 1 into the pipe respectively, and then use a special crimping tool to crimp and connect the fitting body 1 and the pipe. The cross-section of the extrusion position is hexagonal to achieve anti-rotation. The crimping part deforms, being smaller in the middle and larger at both ends to achieve anti-pull-out. At the same time, the convex structure 8 will deform, and the O-ring 10 inside it will squeeze the pipe, enhancing the sealing performance of the connection between the fitting and the pipe. Use the fixing device 6 to fix the fitting. Place the front ring 602 and the rear ring 603 on the first pressing joint 2 and the second pressing joint 3. Then pass the front ring 602 and the rear ring 603 through the connecting rod 7 and through the first connection hole 13, and fix them with the first nut 14. The mounting base 601 and the connecting rod 7 pass through the second connection hole 17 and are fixedly connected by the second nut 15. By adjusting the second nut 15, the length of the fixing device can be adjusted. Finally, fix the mounting base 601 on the corresponding wall surface through the fastening bolt 18 to complete the fixing of the fitting, which can avoid the problem of leakage caused by the relative position change between the pipe and the fitting due to the fitting being collided by external force.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify or equivalently replace the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
