Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a quick-connect tee for water pipes, specifically a bamboo-joint atomizing nozzle type quick-connect tee. Background Technology
[0002] Quick-connect tees, also known as tee quick couplings, are common pipe fittings in industrial piping systems, primarily used for the rapid assembly of three pipes. Their core function is to split or merge fluid media, suitable for liquid and gas transmission scenarios. Some quick-connect tees are used for spraying and are equipped with a ground insertion rod, such as the Chinese patent document CN218251078U, authorized on January 10, 2023, entitled "An Irrigation Spraying Device"; others have the tee pipe located at the ball-type quick-connect assembly and connected, such as the Chinese patent document CN215950723U, authorized on March 4, 2022, entitled "A Quick Connector for Tee Pipes". The structure is described in the patent document CN222925133U, authorized on May 30, 2025, and named "Quick Connector". However, the ball-head quick connector or quick connector is a structural design with a ball head at one end and a quick connector at the other. The ball-head quick connector or quick connector of the branch pipe on one side of the tee is difficult to use as a ball-head universal joint to connect with the atomizing nozzle with a ball head, which makes it inconvenient to extend the number of sections, inconvenient to adjust the angle, and inconvenient to install and construct. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The structure of this utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. For example... Figures 1-5 As shown, the quick-connect tee valve body 1 is T-shaped, with pipe connectors 6 at both ends and a ball-head atomizing assembly 3 on the protruding pipe opening in the middle. The ball head seat 301 at one end of the ball-head atomizing assembly is connected to the protruding pipe opening in the middle of the tee valve body via a ball-head connector 2. The ball-head connector serves as a universal joint between the ball-head atomizing assembly and the tee valve body. The internal channel of the ball head seat of the ball-head atomizing assembly communicates with the internal channel of the tee valve body via the ball-head connector. The protruding pipe opening on the middle side of the tee valve body is the valve body ball head groove 101, and the ball-head connector... One end of the quick-connect ball joint 201 is press-fitted into the ball joint groove of the three-way valve body, and a third sealing ring 5 is provided at the connection; the other end of the ball joint connector has a quick-connect ball joint groove 202 press-fitted into the ball joint head of one end of the ball joint seat of the ball joint atomizing assembly, and a second sealing ring 4 is provided at the connection; an atomizing head 303 is provided in the orifice at the other end of the ball joint seat, and an atomizing cover 304 is provided on the outer diameter of the orifice at this end. The cover opening of the atomizing cover is located on the outer diameter of the top orifice of the ball joint seat, and a first sealing ring 302 is provided at the connection. An atomizing spray hole 3041 is provided on the top of the atomizing cover.
[0020] Its specific structure is as follows: The first sealing ring is located in the first sealing ring groove 3011 below the outer diameter of the atomizing cap 304 at one end of the ball head seat; the second sealing ring is located in the second sealing ring groove on the outer diameter of the ball head at the other end of the ball head seat; and the third sealing ring is located in the third sealing ring groove on the outer diameter of the ball head at one end of the ball head connector. A top limiting ring 3012 for limiting the atomizing cap is provided below the first sealing ring groove on the outer diameter of the ball head seat. The opening of the atomizing cap is fixedly mounted on the edge of the groove on one side of the first sealing ring groove above the top limiting ring of the ball head seat, and the fixed mounting point has a gap that allows it to move up and down with the internal channel pressure.
[0021] The internal thread of one end of the aforementioned pipe fitting is connected to the external threads of the orifices at both ends of the three-way valve body. The inner diameter of the orifice at the other end of the pipe fitting is aligned with the outer diameter of the extended protruding pipe orifices at both ends of the three-way valve body and the sealing barb ring 102 at the outer diameter of the pipe orifice end with a gap. The diameter of the extended protruding pipe orifices at both ends of the three-way valve body is smaller than the diameter of the external threads at both ends. The external threads at both ends of the three-way valve body include a continuous thread section and a gap thread section. The gap thread section between the continuous thread section and the side limit ring 103 is provided with reinforcing ribs of the same diameter as the continuous thread section and evenly distributed. The threaded opening of the gap thread section is located on the outer diameter of the reinforcing rib and is integrally connected with the helical opening of the continuous thread section. The pipe fitting is respectively limited to the side limit rings at both ends of the outer diameter of the three-way valve body.
[0022] The atomizing nozzle of the aforementioned atomizing cap is located at the top center of the central conical protrusion. Symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer diameter of the lower circular circumference of the atomizing cap, which is larger than the diameter of the central conical protrusion, are knob lugs 3042 for easy manual operation. The ball-head atomizing assembly has symmetrically arranged side spray holes 3043 on both sides of the step between the central conical protrusion and the lower circular circumference of the atomizing cap. The first sealing ring is located between the side spray holes and the side through-hole 3031 of the atomizing head. The side through-holes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the step below the raised circular protrusion at the top of the atomizing head. The outer diameter protrusion below the step of the atomizing head is limited to the top opening of the ball-head seat.
[0023] In use, one or more ball-head connectors are provided between the ball head seat at one end of the aforementioned ball-head atomizing assembly and the ball head groove in the middle of the top of the three-way valve body. After the quick-connect ball head at one end of one ball-head connector is sequentially press-fitted with the quick-connect ball head groove of another ball-head connector, the quick-connect ball heads and quick-connect ball head grooves at both ends of the ball-head connectors are respectively connected to the ball head groove of the three-way valve body and the ball head at the ball head seat of the ball-head atomizing assembly. Finally, the pipe connectors on both sides of the three-way valve body are inserted into water pipes, and the pipe openings are respectively inserted into the extended pipe openings on both sides of the three-way valve body and the outer diameter of the sealing barb ring. The pipe connectors are then screwed back into the external threads on both sides of the three-way valve body, and the quick-connect tee is ready for use.
[0024] In summary, this quick-connect tee has been upgraded to meet the specific usage environment of customers' actual needs. In particular, the number of universal joint sections has been increased to meet actual needs. The multi-section design allows for a wider adjustable angle. During the initial pipe installation, there is no need to consider the consistency of a row. After the pipe is fixed, the angle can be quickly and easily adjusted by rotating the universal joint, thus saving time and effort. This avoids the situation where, in the past, when multiple nozzles were arranged over a long distance with different nozzle angles, it was necessary to repeatedly turn the nuts at both ends of the corresponding tee, which was time-consuming and laborious to adjust.
