Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 A pluggable tee connector includes a tee connector body 1, a fixed cover 2 fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the tee connector body 1, a first movable groove 5 and a second movable groove 6 that are interconnected inside the fixed cover 2, the tee connector body 1 is connected to the first movable groove 5 through a through hole 4, a sliding post 7 is provided inside the through hole 4, a retaining ring 8 located inside the second movable groove 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding post 7, a first spring 10 located inside the first movable groove 5 is provided on the outer wall of the sliding post 7, and a retaining ring 9 located between the retaining ring 8 and the first spring 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding post 7.
[0023] The fixed cover 2 has two symmetrically distributed clamping mechanisms inside.
[0024] In this embodiment: when it is necessary to seal the body 1 of the tee connector, by pressing the handle 18, the handle 18 drives the sliding column 7 to move downward, and at the same time drives the retaining ring 8, the retaining ring 9, the sealing plate 15 and the rubber head 16 to move downward. The retaining ring 9 squeezes the first spring 10, and the retaining ring 8 squeezes the inclined surface of the retaining block 14, so that the retaining block 14 squeezes the second spring 13 and enters the interior of the placement groove 12. When the retaining ring 8 moves below the retaining block 14, the second spring 13 squeezes the retaining block 14, so that the retaining block 14 moves towards the second movable groove 6 to lock the retaining ring 8. At the same time, the sealing plate 15 drives the rubber head 16 to move into the interior of the sealing ring 3, so that the rubber head 16 and the sealing ring 3 are tightly abutted, thus completing the sealing of the body 1 of the tee connector.
[0025] When it is necessary to connect the T-connector body 1, rotate the handle 18 by 90 degrees, so that the handle 18 drives the slide column 7 to rotate by 90 degrees, and at the same time drives the retaining ring 8 to rotate by 90 degrees, so that the two inclined grooves 17 are aligned with the two retaining blocks 14 respectively. The first spring 10 squeezes the retaining ring 9, which in turn causes the inclined groove 17 on the outer wall of the retaining ring 8 to squeeze the retaining block 14, so that the retaining block 14 squeezes the second spring 13 and enters the interior of the mounting groove 12. This causes the slide column 7 to drive the retaining ring 8, the sealing plate 15 and the rubber head 16 to move upward, so that the interior of the T-connector body 1 is connected.
[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the mounting mechanism includes a mounting groove 12 disposed inside the fixed cover 2 and communicating with the second movable groove 6. A locking block 14 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 12, and a second spring 13 is disposed between the inner side wall of the mounting groove 12 and the locking block 14.
[0027] In this embodiment: the second spring 13 presses the locking block 14, which facilitates the locking block 14 to move and reset inside the mounting groove 12.
[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, one side of the card block 14 is set as an inclined surface, and the outer wall of the card ring 8 is provided with two symmetrically distributed inclined grooves 17 that match the card block 14.
[0029] In this embodiment, two symmetrically distributed inclined grooves 17 that match the locking block 14 are formed on the outer wall of the retaining ring 8, which facilitates the squeezing of the locking block 14 and thus resets the retaining ring 8.
[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a sealing ring 3 is fixedly connected inside the body 1 of the tee connector, and a sealing plate 15 matching the sealing ring 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding column 7. A rubber head 16 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the sealing plate 15.
[0031] In this embodiment: the sealing plate 15 drives the rubber head 16 to move, so that the rubber head 16 enters the interior of the sealing ring 3, thereby facilitating the sealing of the sealing ring 3.
[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper end of the sliding column 7 extends above the fixed cover 2 and is fixedly connected to a handle 18.
[0033] In this embodiment, the handle 18 facilitates the movement of the sliding column 7.
[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a sealing ring 11 is fixedly connected inside the through hole 4, and the sealing ring 11 abuts tightly against the outer wall of the sliding column 7.
[0035] In this embodiment, the sealing of the through hole 4 is ensured by the sealing ring 11.
[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When it is necessary to seal the body 1 of the tee connector, press the handle 18 to move the sliding column 7 downward, and at the same time move the retaining ring 8, the retaining ring 9, the sealing plate 15 and the rubber head 16 downward. The retaining ring 9 squeezes the first spring 10, and the retaining ring 8 squeezes the inclined surface of the retaining block 14, so that the retaining block 14 squeezes the second spring 13 and enters the interior of the placement groove 12. When the retaining ring 8 moves to the bottom of the retaining block 14, the second spring 13 squeezes the retaining block 14, so that the retaining block 14 moves towards the second movable groove 6 to lock the retaining ring 8. At the same time, the sealing plate 15 moves the rubber head 16 to the interior of the sealing ring 3, so that the rubber head 16 and the sealing ring 3 are tightly abutted, thus completing the sealing of the body 1 of the tee connector.
[0037] When it is necessary to connect the tee connector body 1, rotate the handle 18 90 degrees, so that the handle 18 drives the slide column 7 to rotate 90 degrees, and at the same time drives the retaining ring 8 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the two inclined grooves 17 are aligned with the two retaining blocks 14 respectively. The first spring 10 squeezes the retaining ring 9, which in turn causes the inclined groove 17 on the outer wall of the retaining ring 8 to squeeze the retaining block 14, so that the retaining block 14 squeezes the second spring 13 and enters the interior of the mounting groove 12. This causes the slide column 7 to drive the retaining ring 8, the sealing plate 15 and the rubber head 16 to move upward, so that the interior of the tee connector body 1 is connected. This makes it easy to quickly control the connection or blockage, and the operation is simple and the practical effect is better.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
