[0002] Three -way joint (also known as three -way pipe joint or three -way pipe fitting) is a kind of accessory commonly used in pipeline connection, is usually used to connect three pipelines together, and three -way joint is a common and very important component in pipeline system, which can flexibly meet the needs of different pipeline configurations, and ensure the efficient and safe operation of pipeline system.

[0003] The prior art has the following deficiencies: the prior art with application number 202122837240.5 proposes a plastic three-way joint with a clamping sealing leak-proof structure, which includes a joint body and a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe is fixed to the outside of the joint body for butt joint with an external pipeline. The inside of the connecting pipe is inlaid with a fixed plate, and the inner end of the fixed plate is fixed with a support plate, which provides internal support for the external pipeline. The outside of the support plate is provided with a limiting head, and the outer end of the limiting head is fixed with a movable rod. The movable rod penetrates the connecting pipe and the connecting pipe to form a sliding connection. The plastic three-way joint with clamping sealing leak-proof structure is provided with a sealing air bag and an auxiliary air bag. By pressing the auxiliary air bag with the pressing plate, the gas in the auxiliary air bag is transferred to the sealing air bag, causing the sealing air bag to expand. The gap between the connecting pipe and the external pipeline can be filled, and the butt joint can be sealed to prevent subsequent leakage.

[0004] The above device provides sealing effect between the connecting pipeline and the three-way joint when in use. When the medium flowing in the pipeline has a large pressure and flows through the three-way joint, the sealing effect brought by the air bag alone cannot withstand the pressure of the medium flowing in the pipeline. At the same time, for the connection between the external connecting pipeline and the three-way pipe joint, four sets of support plates and limiting heads are used to limit the external connecting pipeline to ensure stability. The contact area between the four sets of support plates, limiting heads and external connecting pipeline is small, and when the limiting head abuts against the external connecting pipeline, the first spring will contract. The resilience of the spring itself will cause the limiting head to shake, affecting the stability between the external connecting pipeline and the three-way joint. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
