[0026] refer to Figures 1 to 5 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the four-way connecting joint is as follows: Figure 1As shown, it includes a connector body 10 having a first connector and a second connector 12. The first connector 11 and the second connector 12 are both located on the outer wall of the connector body 10, and the first connector 11 is perpendicular to the second connector 12. Specifically, when the product is placed horizontally, the second connector is located at the bottom of the connector body 10 and is arranged vertically, while the first connector 11 is located on the side wall of the connector body 10 and is arranged horizontally.

[0027] Furthermore, the side wall of the connector body 10 further has a first communicating hole 101 and a second communicating hole 102. The axis of the first communicating hole 101 is colinear with the axis of the first connector 11, and the axis of the second communicating hole 102 is perpendicular to the axis of the first communicating hole 101. That is, the second communicating hole 102 is located between the first communicating hole 101 and the first connector 11. The first communicating hole 101 is also connected to the second communicating hole 102.

[0028] It should be noted that the first connector 11 has a third communicating hole 103, which passes through the first connector 11 and communicates with the first communicating hole 101. The second connector 12 has a fourth communicating hole 104, which passes through the second connector 12. At the same time, the first communicating hole 101 and the second communicating hole 102 are both communicated with the fourth communicating hole 104.

[0029] In addition, Figure 3 As shown, one side of the connector body 10 has a connecting end 13, and the connecting end 13 is integrally formed with the connector body 10, and the connecting end 13 also has a positioning hole 1301, and the positioning hole 1301 passes through the connecting end 13, and the connecting end 13 is used to limit the position of the connector body 10, so that the user can connect the external pipeline to the first connector 11 or the second connector 12.

[0030] It should also be noted that the first communicating hole 101 and the second communicating hole 102 are both implemented as stepped holes, and a connecting sleeve 20 is provided in each of the first communicating hole 101 or the second communicating hole 102. Specifically, the connecting sleeve 20 is configured to be connected to an external pipeline. Specifically, when the size of the pipeline inserted into the first communicating hole 101 or the second communicating hole 102 is small, the user can select the connecting sleeve 20 of the appropriate size and place it in the corresponding first communicating hole 101 or the second communicating hole 102. The external pipeline then cooperates with the connecting sleeve 20 to define a small-sized external pipeline.

[0031] Specifically, the first connecting hole 101 or the second connecting hole 102 has an opening 1011, a stepped hole 1012 and a guide hole 1013, the opening 1011 is located on the outer wall of the joint body 10, and the opening 1011 is connected to the large hole of the stepped hole 1012, and the small hole of the stepped hole 1012 is connected to the guide hole 1013, wherein the connecting sleeve 20 passes through the opening 1011 and rests on the bottom wall forming the stepped hole 1012.

[0032] Specifically, the connecting sleeve 20 has an insertion end 21 and a rest end 22, the insertion end 21 is connected to the rest end 22, the rest end 22 contacts the wall of the opening 1011, and the connecting sleeve 20 also has an insertion hole 201, and the insertion hole 201 also passes through the connecting sleeve 20. Specifically, the above-mentioned insertion hole 201 is used to cooperate with an external pipeline.

[0033] It should be noted that the connecting sleeve 20 is arranged at the large hole of the step hole 1012.

[0034] Among them Figure 5 As shown, the outer side of the abutting end 22 and the wall forming the opening 1011 together form a first annular welding groove 200 , that is, the user can define the position of the connecting sleeve 20 through the first annular welding groove 200 .

[0035] Furthermore, the wall forming the insertion hole 201 and close to the opening 1011 also has a second annular welding groove 202. Specifically, the external small-sized pipeline can pass through the insertion hole 201 and rest on the step surface of the step hole 1012. At the same time, the user fills the above-mentioned second annular welding groove 202 with solder to limit the position of the external small-sized pipeline. The filler-type welding has a higher connection strength than the edge welding and is not easy to break due to excessive pressure. It should also be noted that the advantage of the present invention is that when the external small-sized pipeline is matched, the position of the external small-sized pipeline can be directly limited to reduce the difficulty of welding. The design of the above-mentioned step hole 1012 reserves the installation and welding space of the connecting sleeve 20. When the above-mentioned step hole 1012 is matched with the large-sized external pipeline, the large-sized external pipeline can be fixed by extrusion and welding.

[0036] It should also be noted that this product connects multiple pipes to the same connector, merging them into an integrated type, eliminating the need for multiple connectors and reducing space usage. At the same time, it is changed to a four-way design to solve the problem of insufficient space and the need for more connectors for connection, reducing resource waste. Compared with the original connector, it has more advantages in connection and space usage.

[0037] In summary, the four-way connecting joint according to the embodiment of the present application is explained, which provides the four-way connecting joint with advantages such as ease of use, convenient connection, and the ability to define the position of a small-sized outer tube.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that in the embodiments of the present application, the four-way connector has a simple structure, does not involve complex manufacturing processes and expensive materials, and is highly economical. At the same time, for manufacturers, the four-way connector provided in the present application is easy to produce and has low cost, which is more conducive to controlling production costs and further promoting product promotion and use.
