Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical four-way technology, and in particular to a reinforced grooved mechanical four-way casting. Background Technology
[0002] A mechanical four-way valve is a device that allows liquids or gases to flow and be conducted along a specific path within a system. It consists of four ports, each for the inlet and outlet of two different pipes or containers. Based on the connection method, mechanical four-way valves can be divided into grooved and threaded types.
[0003] In existing technologies, mechanical four-way connectors typically employ two cross-shaped pipes to form a basic structure. After being connected to external pipes via a connecting structure, fluid can flow in four directions. However, in practical applications, when fluid flows through the four-way connector, it impacts the protruding corners of the inner wall, which may lead to leaks after prolonged use, affecting the normal operation of the four-way connector. Furthermore, existing four-way connector components are difficult to filter fluid, potentially causing blockages. Therefore, a reinforced grooved mechanical four-way connector casting is proposed as an improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical defects.
[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a reinforced grooved mechanical four-way casting to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a reinforced grooved mechanical four-way casting, including a first pipe and a second pipe. Both the first and second pipes have grooves. A mounting box is provided at the connection between the first and second pipes. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting box at the junction of the first and second pipes. A guide fluid is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and several levers are fixedly connected to the guide fluid. A filter assembly is provided inside the mounting box, and a lever plate that can be driven by the levers is provided on the filter assembly. A first reinforcing hoop and a second reinforcing hoop are respectively provided on the first and second pipes, and a third reinforcing hoop is provided on the mounting box.
[0007] Preferably, of any of the above solutions, the first and second pipe fittings are arranged vertically, and the mounting box adopts a rectangular structure.
[0008] The above technical solution employs a four-way mechanical structure formed by the first and second pipe fittings to guide fluid flow. Their perpendicular arrangement facilitates the connection and layout of external pipes. Grooves are provided on both fittings, allowing them to be connected to external pipes via external snap-fit components. A mounting box provides installation space for components such as the shaft and fluid guide. The mounting box has a rectangular structure for easy shaft installation.
[0009] Preferably, the four corners of the inner wall of the mounting box are rounded, and the connection between the first pipe and the second pipe and the inner wall of the mounting box is rounded.
[0010] The above technical solution involves rounding the four corners of the inner wall of the mounting box, which allows for smoother fluid flow and reduces the impact of the fluid on the mounting box. Similarly, rounding the corners at the connections between the first and second pipe fittings and the mounting box also improves the smoothness of fluid flow at these points.
[0011] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the guide fluid adopts a cylindrical structure, and a plurality of the toggle blocks are evenly arranged on the guide fluid around their circumference.
[0012] The above technical solution employs a rotating shaft that provides an installation platform for the guide fluid. The guide fluid can withstand the fluid impact force and rotates under this force, converting the fluid's kinetic energy into its rotation, thereby reducing the impact of the fluid on the inner wall of the tee joint. The cylindrical structure of the guide fluid allows for flow guidance across the entire pipe height. Motion blocks are installed on the guide fluid, which can rotate under fluid impact. Several motion blocks are evenly arranged circumferentially, enabling the fluid to propel the guide fluid to rotate in a more balanced and stable manner.
[0013] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the height of the push block is the same as the height of the guide fluid, and the filter assembly includes two filters arranged in a cross configuration.
[0014] The above technical solution achieves this by controlling the height of the toggle block, ensuring that fluid flowing through the four-way valve at different heights can rotate the toggle block and guide fluid. The filter screen effectively filters the fluid, preventing impurities from entering the downstream pipe. The filter assembly uses two cross-laid filters, allowing for filtration of fluid from every direction, resulting in better filtration.
[0015] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, there are several deflectors, each disposed at the end of the filter assembly, and the ends of the deflectors and deflectors are rounded.
[0016] The above technical solution works as follows: when the pusher block and guide fluid rotate, the pusher block pushes the pusher plate to move, and the pusher plate causes the filter screen assembly to vibrate periodically, which can dislodge debris stuck on the filter screen assembly, allowing the filter screen assembly to perform its filtering function better. The pusher block and pusher plate are rounded to make their intersection smoother.
[0017] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the first reinforcing hoop and the second reinforcing hoop are respectively installed at the connection between the first pipe fitting, the second pipe fitting and the mounting box, and the third reinforcing hoop has two sections and is installed at opposite corners of the mounting box.
[0018] The above technical solution strengthens the first and second pipe fittings and the mounting box by setting a first, second, and third reinforcing hoop. Placing the reinforcing hoop at the connection points of the components strengthens these connections, thereby increasing the overall strength of the four-way fitting.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] 1. This reinforced grooved mechanical four-way casting, through the inclusion of a mounting box, rotating shaft, fluid guide, lever, filter assembly, and lever plate, allows fluid to flow to the four-way after it is connected to an external pipeline. Upon reaching the four-way, the fluid impacts the fluid guide in the mounting box. With the assistance of the lever, the fluid guide rotates under the impact, protecting the inner wall of the four-way. Simultaneously, the filter assembly filters the fluid, preventing impurities from entering the downstream pipeline. When the lever and fluid guide rotate, the lever pushes the lever plate, which in turn causes the filter assembly to vibrate periodically, dislodging any debris stuck on the filter assembly and improving its filtration efficiency.
[0021] 2. This reinforced grooved mechanical four-way casting features rounded corners on the inner wall of the mounting box, allowing for smoother fluid flow and reducing the impact of the fluid on the mounting box. Similarly, rounded corners at the connections between the first and second pipe fittings and the mounting box further improve fluid flow at these points.

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0029] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model includes a first pipe fitting 1 and a second pipe fitting 2. Both the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2 have grooves 3. An installation box 4 is provided at the connection between the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2. A rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the junction of the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2 inside the installation box 4. A guide fluid 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5. Several levers 7 are fixedly connected to the guide fluid 6. A filter screen assembly 8 is provided inside the installation box 4. A lever plate 9 that can be driven by the levers 7 is provided on the filter screen assembly 8. A first reinforcing hoop 10 and a second reinforcing hoop 11 are respectively provided on the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2. A third reinforcing hoop 12 is provided on the installation box 4.
[0031] Example 1: The first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2 are vertically arranged, and the mounting box 4 adopts a rectangular structure. The first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2 form a basic mechanical four-way structure for four-way fluid guidance. Their vertical arrangement facilitates the layout and connection of external pipes. Grooves 3 are provided on the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2, which can be used with external snap-fit components to connect the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2 to external pipes. The mounting box 4 provides installation space for components such as the rotating shaft 5 and the fluid guide 6. The rectangular structure of the mounting box 4 facilitates the installation of the rotating shaft 5.
[0032] The four corners of the inner wall of the mounting box 4 are rounded, as are the connections between the first fitting 1, the second fitting 2, and the inner wall of the mounting box 4. Rounding the corners of the inner wall of the mounting box 4 allows for smoother fluid flow and reduces the impact of the fluid on the mounting box 4. Similarly, rounding the connections between the first fitting 1, the second fitting 2, and the mounting box 4 also improves the smoothness of fluid flow at these points of connection.
[0033] Example 2: The guide fluid 6 adopts a cylindrical structure, with several levers 7 evenly arranged circumferentially on it. The rotating shaft 5 provides an installation platform for the guide fluid 6, which can withstand the fluid impact force and rotate under the action of the impact force, converting the kinetic energy of the fluid into the rotation of the guide fluid 6, thereby reducing the impact of the fluid on the inner wall of the tee joint. The cylindrical structure of the guide fluid 6 allows for flow guidance across the entire pipe height range. Levers 7 are installed on the guide fluid 6, which can drive the guide fluid 6 to rotate under the impact of the fluid. The evenly arranged circumferential arrangement of several levers 7 allows the fluid to drive the guide fluid 6 to rotate in a more balanced and stable manner.
[0034] The height of the toggle block 7 is the same as the height of the guide fluid 6, and the filter assembly 8 includes two cross-arranged filter screens. By controlling the height of the toggle block 7, fluid flowing through the four-way valve at different heights can drive the toggle block 7 and the guide fluid 6 to rotate. The filter screen 8 can filter the fluid, preventing impurities in the fluid from entering the downstream pipe. The filter assembly 8 uses two cross-arranged filter screens, which can filter the fluid in each direction, resulting in better filtration.
[0035] Example 3: Several baffles 9 are arranged at the ends of the filter assembly 8. The ends of both the baffle block 7 and the baffles 9 are rounded. When the baffle block 7 and the guide fluid 6 rotate, the baffle block 7 pushes the baffles 9 to move. The baffles 9 cause the filter assembly 8 to vibrate periodically, which can dislodge debris stuck on the filter assembly 8, allowing the filter assembly 8 to perform filtering work better. The rounded corners of the baffle block 7 and the baffles 9 make their movement smoother.
[0036] The first reinforcing hoop 10 and the second reinforcing hoop 11 are respectively installed at the connection points between the first pipe fitting 1, the second pipe fitting 2, and the mounting box 4. Two third reinforcing hoops 12 are installed diagonally opposite each other in the mounting box 4. By installing the first reinforcing hoop 10, the second reinforcing hoop 11, and the third reinforcing hoop 12, the first pipe fitting 1, the second pipe fitting 2, and the mounting box 4 can be strengthened. Placing the reinforcing hoops at the connection points of the components strengthens these connections, thereby increasing the overall strength of the four-way fitting.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0038] S1. The external components are connected to the external pipe through the grooves 3 on the first pipe fitting 1 and the second pipe fitting 2 to ensure the sealing of the connection.
[0039] S2. When the fluid flows to the four-way junction, the fluid impacts the guide fluid 6 of the mounting box 4. With the cooperation of the lever 7, the guide fluid 6 rotates under the impact, thus protecting the inner wall of the four-way junction.
[0040] S3, the filter assembly 8 filters the fluid to prevent impurities in the fluid from entering the downstream pipe. When the toggle block 7 and the guide fluid 6 rotate, the toggle block 7 pushes the toggle plate 9 to move, and the toggle plate 9 drives the filter assembly 8 to vibrate periodically, which can cause the impurities stuck on the filter assembly 8 to fall off, so that the filter assembly 8 can perform filtering work better.
[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0042] 1. This reinforced grooved mechanical four-way casting, through the arrangement of a mounting box 4, a rotating shaft 5, a fluid guide 6, a lever 7, a filter assembly 8, and a lever plate 9, allows fluid to flow to the four-way after it is connected to an external pipeline. The fluid impacts the fluid guide 6 in the mounting box 4, and with the assistance of the lever 7, the fluid guide 6 rotates under the impact, thus protecting the inner wall of the four-way. Simultaneously, the filter assembly 8 filters the fluid, preventing impurities from entering the downstream pipeline. When the lever 7 and the fluid guide 6 rotate, the lever 7 pushes the lever plate 9 to move, causing the filter assembly 8 to vibrate periodically. This dislodges impurities stuck on the filter assembly 8, allowing it to perform its filtering function more effectively.
[0043] 2. This reinforced grooved mechanical four-way casting features rounded corners on the inner wall of the mounting box 4. This allows for smoother fluid flow through the mounting box 4 and reduces the impact of the fluid on it. Similarly, rounded corners at the connections between the first fitting 1, the second fitting 2, and the mounting box 4 also improve fluid flow at these points.
