Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drainage pipes, and more particularly to a water seal pipe fitting. Background Art
[0002] Amidst the wave of environmental protection and sustainable development, rainwater drainage systems are gradually shifting from their traditional function of simply draining rainwater to a more comprehensive and efficient resource recycling approach. This shift not only helps reduce the risk of urban flooding, but also effectively replenishes urban water resources and promotes ecological balance. However, as rainwater recycling practices deepen, new challenges arise. Recycled and stored rainwater for extended periods often produces unpleasant odors that are released into the surrounding environment through the rainwater drainage system, impacting residents' quality of life. Therefore, when designing rainwater recycling systems, it is important to consider how the water is stored and treated to prevent water quality deterioration and the spread of odors.
[0003] Existing technologies often solve the problem of odor leakage by installing water traps on the pipe system. However, there are many specifications of rainwater downpipes. In order to adapt to rainwater downpipes of different specifications, water traps of different specifications need to be installed accordingly, which is costly. This problem limits the application of rainwater recycling technology in a wider range. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the invention can be adapted to pipes of various specifications, improving versatility and reducing costs. A pipe is inserted through the inlet portion, and rainwater flows from the pipe and passes through the water seal portion. Some of the rainwater is retained in the water seal portion, achieving a water seal effect and blocking odors. The remaining rainwater flows out through the outlet portion.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting part, which is installed between the inlet part and the water seal part. One end of the limiting part is connected to the inlet part, and the other end is connected to the water seal part, and the lower end of the pipeline abuts against the limiting part.
[0009] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of the upper end of the limiting portion is larger than that of the lower end.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom end of the water outlet portion is arranged higher than the top end of the limiting portion.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a socket part, which is installed between the inlet part and the limiting part. One end of the socket part is connected to the inlet part, and the other end is connected to the limiting part.
[0012] Furthermore, the outside of the inlet portion is provided with a plurality of grooves in sequence from top to bottom.

[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figures 1 to 3The figure shows a first embodiment of a water seal pipe fitting of the present invention, comprising an inlet portion 1, a water seal portion 3, and a water outlet portion 4, all of which are hollow structures. The upper end of the inlet portion 1 is provided with an opening and the cross-sectional area of the upper end is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the lower end. The lower end of the inlet portion 1 is connected with the water seal portion 3, and the water seal portion 3 is connected with the water outlet portion 4. The bottom end of the water outlet portion 4 is arranged higher than the top end of the water seal portion 3. The pipe 7 is inserted into and passes through the inlet portion 1. Rainwater flows in from the pipe 7, flows through the water seal portion 3, and part of the rainwater remains in the water seal portion 3, and the rest of the rainwater flows out from the water outlet portion 4.
[0031] The cross-sectional area of the lower end of the inlet portion 1 of the present invention is larger than that of the upper end. The upper end of the inlet portion 1 can be cut according to the size of the pipe 7 so that the size of the opening is adapted to the size of the pipe 7. Therefore, it can adapt to pipes of various specifications, improving versatility and reducing costs. The pipe 7 is inserted into and passes through the inlet portion 1. Rainwater flows into the pipe 7 and flows through the water seal portion 3. Some rainwater is retained in the water seal portion 3 to achieve a water seal effect, blocking odors and odors. The remaining rainwater flows out from the outlet portion 4. The water seal of the water seal portion 3 prevents odors from flowing when rainwater is recycled, and also prevents small insects and other organisms from entering the system through the pipe 7, reducing the risk of disease transmission. The utility model can adapt to a variety of pipes 7 of different specifications through the inlet portion 1, which not only reduces the need to purchase different types of pipe fittings and reduces material costs, but also reduces the number of different pipe fittings in inventory and saves storage space. When designing a pipe 7 system, the water seal fitting can be used to adapt and connect a variety of rainwater downpipes 7, increasing design flexibility and allowing maintenance personnel to find the right accessories more quickly during installation or maintenance.
[0032] The present invention also includes a limiting part 2, which is installed between the inlet part 1 and the water seal part 3. One end of the limiting part is connected to the inlet part 1, and the other end is connected to the water seal part 3. The pipe 7 is inserted into and passes through the inlet part 1, and the lower end of the pipe 7 abuts against the limiting part 2. The limiting part 2 ensures the axial positioning of the pipe 7 after insertion, and the pipe 7 and the present invention can be quickly connected and installed. The upper end area of the limiting part 2 is larger than the lower end area and the transition is smooth. This design makes the limiting part 2 universal, and can ensure that the limiting part 2 can abut against pipes 7 of different specifications. Cooperating with the inlet part 1, the present invention can adapt to pipes 7 of various specifications, reducing the inventory demand for pipe fittings of specific specifications, reducing the waste caused by specification mismatch, and bringing many conveniences and advantages to the design, installation, maintenance and use of the pipe 7 system; reducing the need to purchase different types of pipe fittings, reducing material costs, and also reducing the number of different pipe fittings in inventory, saving storage space.
[0033] The bottom end of the water outlet part 4 of the utility model is arranged higher than the top end of the limiting part 2. Rainwater flows in from the pipe 7, flows through the water seal part 3, and part of the rainwater is retained in the water seal part 3, and the rest of the rainwater flows out from the water outlet part 4. The lower end of the pipe 7 abuts against the limiting part 2. In the utility model, the liquid level of rainwater must be greater than the bottom end height of the water outlet part 4 before it can flow out from the water outlet part 4. Rainwater with a liquid level equal to or lower than the bottom end height of the water outlet part 4 is retained in the water seal part 3, achieving a water seal effect, effectively isolating the odor and smell in the pipe 7, solving the problem of odor flow during rainwater recycling, and preventing insects and other organisms from entering the rainwater downpipe; it can prevent rainwater from backflowing, especially in the rainy season. The water seal effect of the water seal pipe can prevent rainwater from flowing back into the room, protecting the building from rainwater erosion.
[0034] The present invention also includes a socket part 5, which is installed between the inlet part 1 and the limit part 2. One end of the socket part 5 is connected to the inlet part 1, and the other end is connected to the limit part 2. The socket part 5 ensures the socket depth of the pipe fitting inserted into the present invention. The correct socket depth can ensure the connection strength between the pipe fitting and the present invention, and prevent leakage and falling off due to poor connection. In this embodiment, the height of the socket part 5 is greater than the width of the pipe 7, so that the socket height ensures the connection strength and prevents the pipe 7 from shaking due to too shallow socket depth, which leads to leakage or falling off. The appropriate socket depth combined with the appropriate sealing material can provide a better sealing effect; and the standardized socket depth helps to improve the consistency and quality of construction and reduce errors in the construction process.
[0035] The cross-sections of the inlet part 1, the socket part 5 and the limit part 2 of the utility model are all quadrilaterals, corresponding to the square pipe 7. The corresponding shapes can ensure the sealing of the connection between the pipe 7 and the utility model to prevent rainwater leakage; the standardized production of water-sealed pipe fittings and pipe fittings can ensure the consistency of shape and size, which is convenient for achieving shape correspondence; strictly follow the installation specifications and standards of the pipe 7 to ensure the correct installation of the pipe 7 and the utility model.
[0036] The outside of the inlet part 1 of the utility model is provided with a plurality of circles of grooves 11 in sequence from top to bottom. After the pipe fitting is inserted into the inlet part 1 and abuts against the limiting part 2, a tightening belt can be installed in the groove 11 at the upper end of the inlet part 1 or a sealant can be applied to provide additional sealing protection to ensure the sealing effect after the pipe groove is inserted and prevent rainwater leakage; and the tightening belt or sealant can adapt to pipe fittings of different specifications and provide a flexible connection solution; no special tools are required, which is convenient for on-site installation and subsequent maintenance; in addition, the sealant can form an elastic buffer layer at the connection of the pipeline 7 to absorb vibration and impact and improve stability and reliability.
[0037] The bottom height of the water outlet portion 4 of the present invention is higher than the bottom height of the socket portion 5, and the height difference between the bottom of the receiving section and the bottom of the water outlet is at least 50 mm. By forming a water column of a certain height to isolate the flow of gas, a good water seal effect is ensured to prevent harmful gases or odors from flowing back into the indoor environment. In addition, the state of the water seal portion 3, such as the water level, can serve as an intuitive indicator of whether the pipeline 7 system is operating normally, facilitating inspection and monitoring. If the water seal height is insufficient, it may not be able to effectively prevent odors and pests; and if the water seal is too high, it may affect the drainage efficiency. At the same time, this height also helps to reduce the risk of water seal failure due to evaporation. The present invention also includes a connecting portion 6, which is respectively connected to the water outlet portion 4 and the water seal portion 3, and the socket portion 5 and the limit portion 2 are both connected to the connecting portion 6.
[0038] The water outlet 4 of the utility model is a standard pipe, which is connected to the pipe 7 for storing rainwater. It can be used to connect standard 90° elbows or straight-through fittings, so that it can be assembled into P-type and S-type water traps according to actual usage needs, reducing the need to purchase different types of pipe fittings, reducing material costs, and also reducing the number of different pipe fittings in inventory, saving storage space; when designing the pipe 7 system, the water seal pipe fitting can be used to connect a variety of pipe fittings, increasing the flexibility of the design, and maintenance personnel can find suitable accessories more quickly during installation or maintenance. Due to its structural characteristics, the P-type trap is usually installed at the horizontal right-angle connection of the drainage horizontal pipe or drainage vertical pipe, that is, in the drainage system where space is limited or a right-angle turn is required, such as the connection of the drainage vertical pipe or horizontal pipe close to the wall; the S-type trap, due to its shape design, can more effectively form a water seal to prevent odor and harmful gases from the sewer from flowing back into the room, and the curved design of the S-type trap can slow down the water flow speed and reduce the noise generated when the water flows through, making the drainage process quieter. In general, the P-type trap and the S-type trap are both effective devices for preventing odor and pollutants in the sewer from entering the room. Which one to choose depends on the specific installation environment and the design requirements of the drainage system.
[0039] The inlet part 1, the limiting part 2, the water seal part 3, the connecting part 6, the socket part 5 and the water outlet part 4 of the utility model are integrally formed by the blow molding process. The traditional water trap requires multiple assemblies to cooperate to realize the function. The utility model has no other assemblies and a simple structure. The blow molding process can quickly produce hollow pipe fittings, which are suitable for large-scale production and improve production efficiency. Moreover, the blow molding process can well control the use of materials, reduce the generation of waste, and improve the utilization rate of materials. Since it is an integral molding, the wall thickness of the utility model is uniform, the product quality is more consistent, and the defect rate of the product is reduced. The blow-molded water seal pipe fittings usually have good mechanical strength and durability, and can withstand greater pressure and impact. In addition, compared with other manufacturing methods, the blow molding process has certain advantages in equipment cost and production cost, especially in large-scale production.

The upper end of the inlet portion 1 is provided with an opening, and the area of the lower end thereof is larger than that of the upper end. The socket portion 5 and the limit portion 2 are both connected to the connection portion 6, that is, the upper end of the socket portion 5 is connected to the inlet portion 1, the side portion is connected to one side of the connection portion 6, and the lower end is connected to the inlet portion 1. The end is communicated with the limiting part 2, the side of the limiting part 2 is communicated with one side of the connecting part 6, the lower end is communicated with the water seal part 3, the side of the water seal part 3 is communicated with one side of the connecting part 6, and the other side of the connecting part 6 is communicated with the water outlet part 4. The height of the bottom end of the water outlet part 4 is greater than or equal to the height of the upper end of the limiting part 2. The pipe 7 is inserted into and passes through the inlet part 1 and abuts against the limiting part 2. Rainwater flows in from the pipe 7, flows through the limiting part 2, the water seal part 3, and the connecting part 6. Part of the water and rainwater remain in the water seal part 3, and the rest of the rainwater flows out from the water outlet part 4. The area of the lower end of the inlet portion 1 of the present invention is larger than that of the upper end. The inlet portion 1 can be cut according to the size of the pipe 7 so that the size of the opening is adapted to the size of the pipe 7. The pipe 7 passes through the inlet portion 1 and its lower end abuts against the limit portion 2. The limit portion 2 realizes the axial positioning of the pipe 7. Rainwater flows from the pipe 7 through the inlet portion 1 and the limit portion 2, and then flows to the water seal portion 3. Part of the rainwater remains in the water seal portion 3 to achieve the effect of water sealing and block odor. The remaining rainwater flows out from the water outlet portion 4. The bottom end of the water outlet portion 4 is higher than the bottom end of the pipe 7 to achieve water sealing. Unlike Example 1, the connecting portion 6 is not only connected to the water outlet portion 4 and the water seal portion 3, but also the socket portion 5 and the limit portion 2 are both connected to the connecting portion 6.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] The following is the third embodiment of a water-sealed pipe fitting of the present invention. This embodiment is similar to embodiment 1, except that the inlet portion 1, the socket portion 5, and the limit portion 2 of the present invention are all circular in cross-section, corresponding to the circular pipe 7. The corresponding shape can ensure the sealing of the connection between the pipe 7 and the present invention to prevent rainwater leakage; the standardized production of the water-sealed pipe fitting and the pipe 7 can ensure the consistency of shape and size, making it easier to achieve shape correspondence; operations are strictly carried out in accordance with the installation specifications and standards of the pipe 7 to ensure the correct installation of the pipe 7 and the present invention.
[0044] In this embodiment, the height of the socket part 5 is greater than the radius of the pipe 7 to ensure the connection strength and prevent the socket depth of the pipe 7 from being too shallow, causing shaking and thus leakage or falling off. The appropriate socket depth combined with appropriate sealing materials can provide a better sealing effect; and the standardized socket depth helps to improve the consistency and quality of construction and reduce errors in the construction process.
