[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects as follows:

[0011] 1) The surface of the plastic tee fitting of this utility model is provided with equally divided reinforcing ribs, and the two ends of the equally divided reinforcing ribs are provided with snap-fit ​​structures. The other end of the plastic snap-fit ​​ring is snapped into the snap-fit ​​structure. When the nut is tightened to the pre-tightening force marked on the fitting, due to the elasticity of the plastic itself, the plastic snap-fit ​​ring at the nut end can be adjusted by external force and snapped into the snap-fit ​​structure on the reinforcing rib of the plastic fitting, forming a positioning and fixing function, and ensuring that the nut does not leak due to loosening.

[0012] 2) This utility model provides a set of plastic snap rings evenly on the end face of the nut. An installation groove is provided at the mating point between the end face of the nut and the plastic snap ring. One end of the plastic snap ring is provided with an auxiliary elastic tapered structure. The plastic snap ring is inserted into the installation groove with an interference fit to form an inverted triangular structure, which strengthens the fastening between the two and enables it to withstand the pull-out force caused by displacement of the nut joint.

[0013] 3) The mounting groove of this utility model is a dovetail trapezoidal groove, which is narrow at one end and gradually expands inward until it becomes larger at the other end, thereby increasing the contact area of ​​the connecting surface and thus improving the connection strength.

[0014] 4) The pipe fitting of this utility model has a reasonable structural design, good waterproof performance, and simple operation. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the scope described herein.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 A type of anti-loosening fitting includes a plastic tee fitting 2. The plastic tee fitting 2 includes a straight pipe body 7 and a branch pipe body 8. Both ends of the straight pipe body 7 are provided with plastic support rings 3. The port of the plastic support ring 3 at one end of the straight pipe body 7 is the inlet 12, and the port of the other plastic support ring 3 is the outlet 13. The port of the branch pipe body 8 is the connection port. The inlet 12 is connected to the straight pipe body 7, the outlet 13 and the branch pipe 8.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 A nut 1 is fitted over a plastic support ring 3. A set of plastic snap rings 6 are evenly distributed on the end face of the nut 1. An installation groove 9 is provided at the mating point between the end face of the nut 1 and the plastic snap ring 6. An auxiliary elastic tapered structure 10 is provided at one end of the plastic snap ring 6. The plastic snap ring 6 is inserted into the installation groove 9 with an interference fit to form an inverted triangular structure, which strengthens the fastening between the two and enables it to withstand the pull-out force caused by the displacement of the nut joint.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 3-6 Furthermore, the mounting groove 9 is a dovetail trapezoidal groove, narrow at one end and gradually expanding inwards until it becomes larger at the other end. This dovetail trapezoidal groove increases the contact area of ​​the connecting surfaces, thereby improving the connection strength. When the auxiliary elastic tapered structure 10 is inserted into the dovetail trapezoidal groove, it is compressed by the contact surface and can contract inwards at a certain angle, effectively inserting into the dovetail groove. The auxiliary elastic tapered structure 10 rebounds and returns to its original position, locking itself within the groove, forming an effective fixation.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 7-8 The plastic tee fitting 2 has equally spaced reinforcing ribs 5 on its surface, and each of the equally spaced reinforcing ribs 5 has a snap-fit ​​structure 11 at both ends. The other end of the plastic snap-fit ​​ring 6 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​structure 11. Furthermore, the end of the plastic snap-fit ​​ring 6 that mates with the snap-fit ​​structure 11 is an arc-shaped head 4, which is adjusted and snapped into the snap-fit ​​structure 11 by external force to form a positioning and fixing function.

[0029] When nut 1 is tightened to the pre-tightening force indicated on the pipe fitting, due to the elasticity of the plastic itself, the fixing pin at the end of the nut can be adjusted by external force and snapped into the buckle structure 11 on the reinforcing rib of the plastic pipe fitting, forming a positioning and fixing function to ensure that the nut does not leak due to loosening.

[0030] In this embodiment, there are 4 out of 6 plastic buckle rings.
