Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connector technology, specifically relating to a multifunctional tee connector. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most connectors on the market are connected in one-to-one or two-to-two configurations. Their female end is usually composed of the connector body, positioning buckle, positioning spring, snap button, and snap button spring. In addition, a sealing ring is required to achieve good airtightness.
[0003] This type of connector cannot achieve interoperability between single-tube, double-tube, or triple-tube connectors. If you want to use them, you must use them individually in a one-to-one or two-to-two manner. This is cumbersome, as you must change the female or male end at the same time to make a connection. The connection is inconvenient, the structure is complex, and it is not conducive to the diversified and multifunctional design of products. Utility Model Content

The lower rear side of the snap fastener is connected to the top surface of the tee body through a snap fastener spring. The front part of the snap fastener is engaged in the slot. The front part of the snap fastener has a through hole, and the lower side of the through hole has a notch. The lower side of the tee body has a snap fastener mounting cavity, which contains a snap fastener and a snap fastener spring. The snap fastener is connected to the snap fastener spring, and one end of the snap fastener extends out of the snap fastener mounting cavity. The snap fastener is adapted to the notch, and the end of the snap fastener extending out of the snap fastener mounting cavity is engaged in the notch. The tee body has a first connecting cavity, a second connecting cavity, and a third connecting cavity. The first connecting cavity, the second connecting cavity, and the third connecting cavity are isolated from each other and are respectively connected to the three connecting terminals of the tee body. Each of the first connecting cavity, the second connecting cavity, and the third connecting cavity has a silicone nozzle.
[0008] Preferably, the male end of the single tube is detachably connected to the second communicating cavity.
[0009] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided on the male end of the single tube.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] (1) When this utility model is used in a specific way, the tee female end structure is detachably connected with a tee male end or a single pipe male end, which can be matched with both tee male ends and single pipe male ends. It has multiple functions and is convenient to connect. In specific connection and use, it is not necessary to replace the female end or the male end at the same time to connect.
[0012] (2) This utility model includes a three-way body, a snap button, a silicone air nozzle, a buckle and a buckle spring, etc. The overall structure is simple and low in cost. Moreover, the silicone air nozzle and the sealing ring on the male end of the single tube ensure airtightness, and the snap button and buckle structure ensure the firmness of the connection.
[0013] In summary, this utility model has the advantages of convenient connection and simple structure. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Example 1
[0024] In this embodiment, a multi-functional tee connector is proposed, which can be used as a single-tube single-way connector or as a three-tube tee connector.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the multifunctional tee connector includes a tee female terminal structure. The first end of the tee female terminal structure has three connecting terminals 316. The second end of the tee female terminal structure is detachably connected to a tee male terminal 1 or a single-tube male terminal 2. For details, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3This diagram illustrates the mating of the female tee terminal structure and the male tee terminal 1. The female tee terminal structure includes a tee body 31 and a snap fastener 32. The first end of the tee body 31 has three connecting terminals 316, and the second end of the tee body 31 has a slot 311. The lower rear side of the snap fastener 32 is connected to the top surface of the tee body 31 via a snap fastener spring 33. The front part of the snap fastener 32 is engaged in the slot 311. The front part of the snap fastener 32 has a through hole 321, and the lower side of the through hole 321 has a notch 3. 22. The lower side of the tee body 31 is provided with a snap-fit mounting cavity 312. The snap-fit mounting cavity 312 is provided with a snap 34 and a snap 34 spring. The snap 34 is connected to the snap 34 spring and one end of the snap 34 extends out of the snap-fit mounting cavity 312. The snap 34 is adapted to the notch 322 and the end of the snap 34 extending out of the snap-fit mounting cavity 312 is engaged in the notch 322. The tee body 31 is provided with a first connecting cavity 313, a second connecting cavity 314 and a third connecting cavity 315. The first connecting cavity... Cavity 313, second connecting cavity 314, and third connecting cavity 315 are isolated from each other, and the first connecting cavity 313, second connecting cavity 314, and third connecting cavity 315 are respectively connected to the three connecting terminals 316 of the three-way body 31. A silicone air nozzle 35 is provided in each of the first connecting cavity 313, second connecting cavity 314, and third connecting cavity 315. At this time, the setting of the silicone air nozzle 35 of this utility model can improve the airtightness. The setting of the buckle 34, snap 32, and other structures can increase the connection firmness. In specific use, the left and right sides of the male end 1 of the three-way are directly inserted into the first connecting cavity 313 and the third connecting cavity 315. After the middle part of the male end 1 of the three-way is inserted into the second connecting cavity 314 (through the through hole 321), the snap 32 is pressed and then the through hole 321 of the snap 32 is engaged with the middle part of the male end 1 of the three-way. At this time, there is no need to set an additional sealing ring 21 on the male end 1 of the three-way.
[0026] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The single-tube male end 2 of this utility model is matched with the three-way female end structure. Specifically, the single-tube male end 2 is detachably connected to the second connecting cavity 314. In specific use, after the single-tube male end 2 is inserted into the second connecting cavity 314 (through the through hole 321), the through hole 321 of the snap 32 is engaged with the single-tube male end 2 by pressing the snap 32 and then cooperating with the buckle 34 and other structures. At this time, the single-tube male end 2 is provided with a sealing ring 21 to increase the sealing performance.
