Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of four-way connector technology, specifically a multifunctional combined four-way connector. Background Technology

[0002] A multi-functional combination four-way connector is a pipe fitting used in piping systems. It typically has four connection ports, enabling multi-directional fluid or gas diversion, merging, and mixing. It is widely used in petrochemical, water supply and drainage, irrigation, and industrial pipeline fields. It features convenient installation, high pressure resistance, and good corrosion resistance. In the context of multi-functional combination four-way connectors, "multi-functional combination" refers to the ability to achieve multiple connection functions and meet the needs of different application scenarios through modular or integrated design.

[0003] For metal bellows, threaded connection is a simple and reliable method. By machining threads at the end of the bellows and tightening them with the threaded interface of the four-way connector, a seal and fixation are achieved. This connection method is suitable for small and medium diameter piping systems, is easy to install, and has good sealing performance.

[0004] When connecting metal corrugated pipes to four-way fittings, in the process of large-scale pipeline system installation, it is usually necessary to fix each metal corrugated pipe individually. This method of fixing each one individually means that the installers need to repeat the operation many times, which not only increases the complexity of the installation, but also significantly prolongs the construction time, thereby greatly reducing the construction efficiency. Therefore, a multi-functional combined four-way fitting is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional combination four-way connector to solve the problem that when connecting metal corrugated pipes to the four-way connector, each metal corrugated pipe needs to be fixed one by one. This method of fixing each one means that the installer needs to repeat the operation many times, which not only increases the complexity of the installation, but also significantly prolongs the construction time, thereby greatly reducing the construction efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A multifunctional four-way connector includes a four-way connector assembly, a connecting pipe assembly rotatably connected to the outer side of the four-way connector assembly, an operating assembly rotatably connected to the lower end of the four-way connector assembly, a transfer box including an extension tube fixedly connected to the outer side of the transfer box, a rubber sealing ring fixedly connected to one side of the extension tube, a limit ring fixedly connected to the outer side of the extension tube, a connecting post fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transfer box, a ball bearing and a one-way gear ring fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting post, a connecting pipe assembly including a sleeve including a first helical gear ring fixedly connected to one end of the sleeve, an annular groove and a threaded hole formed on the inner side of the sleeve, an operating panel including an operating disc including a second helical gear ring fixedly connected to the outer side of the operating disc, an embedding groove formed on the inner side of the operating disc, a linear sliding spring telescopic rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the embedding groove, a one-way gear block fixedly connected to the front end of the linear sliding spring telescopic rod, a reset handle fixedly connected to the bottom end of the one-way gear block, a ball bearing fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner side of the operating disc, and a limit ring rotatably connected to the inner side of the annular groove.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the inner side of the transfer box is hollow, a through hole is provided on the inner side of the transfer box near the extension tube, the inner side of the extension tube is hollow, and the extension tube communicates with the inner side of the transfer box through the through hole.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the number of extension tubes is four, the shape of the limiting ring is a circular ring, and the shape of the circular groove is a circular ring.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the extension tube is shaped as two hollow cylinders of different diameters, one end of the extension tube is embedded in the inner side of the sleeve, and the outer side of the extension tube is in contact with the inner side of the sleeve.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the outer side of the first helical gear ring meshes with the outer side of the second helical gear ring, and both the first and second helical gear rings are inclined structures.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, the operating plate is fitted onto the outside of the connecting post through an embedded groove, the bottom end of the connecting post is flush with the bottom end of the operating plate, the one-way gear ring and the one-way gear block are both right-angled triangular prisms, and one end of the one-way gear block meshes with the outside of the one-way gear ring.

[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, the linear sliding spring telescopic rod, the one-way toothed block, and the reset handle are embedded in the recessed groove, with the reset handle located at the bottom end of the one-way toothed block.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] In this invention, the device achieves rapid connection and disassembly of the metal bellows and the four-way connector through the provided four-way connector assembly, pipe assembly, and operating assembly. This avoids the tedious operation and repetitive labor caused by the traditional method of fixing each pipe individually. During the installation of large-scale pipeline systems, installers do not need to fix each metal bellows one by one, greatly reducing the number of repetitive operations, thereby effectively reducing the difficulty and time of operation. This efficient connection method not only saves a lot of manpower and time costs, but also improves the overall quality and reliability of construction, and is particularly suitable for large-scale pipeline installation scenarios.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A multifunctional four-way connector includes a four-way connector assembly 1, a connecting pipe assembly 2 rotatably connected to the outer side of the four-way connector assembly 1, and an operating assembly 3 rotatably connected to the lower end of the four-way connector assembly 1. The four-way connector assembly 1 includes a transfer box 11, an extension tube 12 fixedly connected to the outer side of the transfer box 11, a rubber sealing ring 13 fixedly connected to one side of the extension tube 12, a limit ring 14 fixedly connected to the outer side of the extension tube 12, a connecting post 15 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transfer box 11, a ball bearing 16 and a one-way gear ring 17 fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting post 15, and a sleeve 21, one end of the sleeve 21... A first helical gear ring 22 is fixedly connected. A circular groove 23 and a threaded hole 24 are opened on the inner side of the sleeve 21. The operating component 3 includes an operating disc 31. A second helical gear ring 32 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the operating disc 31. An embedding groove 33 is opened on the inner side of the operating disc 31. A linear sliding spring telescopic rod 34 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the embedding groove 33. A one-way toothed block 35 is fixedly connected to the front end of the linear sliding spring telescopic rod 34. A reset handle 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the one-way toothed block 35. The outer side of the ball bearing 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the operating disc 31. A limiting ring 14 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the circular groove 23.

[0031] As a further implementation of this scheme, the inner side of the transfer box 11 is hollow, and a through hole is opened on the inner side of the transfer box 11 near the extension pipe 12. The inner side of the extension pipe 12 is hollow, and the extension pipe 12 is connected to the inner side of the transfer box 11 through the through hole. Through the above settings, the smooth flow of fluid or gas in the pipeline system is realized, while ensuring the rational use of the internal space of the device.

[0032] As a further implementation of this solution, there are four extension tubes 12, the limiting ring 14 is in the shape of a ring, the opening shape of the ring groove 23 is in the shape of a ring, and the extension tube 12 is in the shape of two hollow cylinders with different diameters. One end of the extension tube 12 is embedded in the inner side of the sleeve 21, and the outer side of the extension tube 12 is in contact with the inner side of the sleeve 21. Through the above settings, the sleeve 21 is limited when it rotates to the outer side of the extension tube 12, and the sleeve 21 and the extension tube 12 are prevented from separating, thus improving the stability during installation.

[0033] As a further implementation of this solution, the outer side of the first helical gear ring 22 meshes with the outer side of the second helical gear ring 32. Both the first helical gear ring 22 and the second helical gear ring 32 are inclined structures. Through the above arrangement, the inclined first helical gear ring 22 and the second helical gear ring 32 can achieve efficient power transmission and rotation control through meshing transmission, making the device smoother during connection and disassembly, reducing the difficulty of operation, and improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0034] As a further implementation of this solution, the operating plate 31 is fitted onto the outside of the connecting post 15 through the embedded groove 33. The bottom end of the connecting post 15 is flush with the bottom end of the operating plate 31. The one-way gear ring 17 and the one-way gear block 35 are both right-angled triangles. One end of the one-way gear block 35 meshes with the outside of the one-way gear ring 17. Through the above arrangement, the one-way gear ring 17 and the one-way gear block 35 of the right-angled triangles achieve one-way rotation control, effectively preventing misoperation from causing the device to detach from the metal bellows, improving the safety and reliability of the device. At the same time, the flush bottom design ensures the overall stability and aesthetics of the device.

[0035] As a further implementation of this solution, the linear sliding spring telescopic rod 34, the one-way toothed block 35, and the reset handle 36 are embedded in the mounting groove 33. The reset handle 36 is located at the bottom end of the one-way toothed block 35. Through the above arrangement, the compactness and stability of the device are enhanced. The reset handle 36 can be pulled through the mounting groove 33 to achieve the disassembly effect.

[0036] Workflow: When the device is quickly connected to the metal bellows, one end of each of the four pre-embedded metal bellows is placed inside the threaded hole 24 for contact. At this time, the operating disc 31 is rotated. The operating disc 31 is rotatably connected to the connecting column 15 via the ball bearing 16. As the operating disc 31 rotates, the second helical gear ring 32 drives the first helical gear ring 22 to rotate. The first helical gear ring 22 rotates, driving the sleeve 21 to rotate. The sleeve 21 is rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting ring 14 via the annular groove 23, which limits the rotation of the sleeve 21. As the sleeve 21 rotates, it spirally contacts the threaded metal bellows through the threaded hole 24. At this time, the four metal bellows extend and move closer to the inside of the sleeve 21. Installation is complete when the metal bellows are in contact with the rubber sealing ring 13. The device serves to seal the metal bellows and extension pipe 12. Simultaneously, as the operating disc 31 rotates, it drives the linear sliding spring telescopic rod 34 and the one-way toothed block 35 to rotate. Through the meshing of the one-way toothed ring 17 and the one-way toothed block 35, and the shape of the one-way toothed block 35 and the one-way toothed ring 17, the operating disc 31 can only rotate in one direction, preventing accidental separation between the device and the metal bellows. If disassembly of the water pipe is required, pull the reset handle 36 from the lower end of the recessed groove 33 to move the one-way toothed block 35 away from the one-way toothed ring 17, then rotate the operating disc 31 in the opposite direction to disassemble the device from the metal bellows. The principle behind this device design reduces the number of repetitive operations when connecting four water pipes, lowering the operational difficulty and time, making it suitable for large-scale pipeline installations.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
