[0009] Preferably, the rear end of the outer wall of the sub-joint is fixedly connected to an external threaded portion, and the rear end of the inner wall of the rotating tube is fixedly connected to an internal threaded portion. The rotating tube is fitted into the rear end of the outer wall of the sub-joint, and the external threaded portion and the internal threaded portion are threadedly connected.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the sub-joint is provided with a ring array of multiple threaded holes in the middle, and the front end of the upper end face of the rotating tube is provided with a rectangular groove, and the lower end face of the rectangular groove is connected to the inner wall of the rotating tube through a strip opening.

[0011] Preferably, the rotating tube is inserted into the rectangular groove and through the strip opening by a screw, and then inserted into a threaded hole on the sub-connector and threadedly connected and fixed to the sub-connector.

[0012] Preferably, the outer rear end of the rotating tube is arranged in a ring and fixedly connected with multiple rectangular paddles.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) In this utility model, by setting a conical slot structure and annular tooth design, it can be adapted to PPR pipes of different diameters, so that the pipe and the joint after hot melting can form a tight fit, improve the sealing performance and connection strength, and solve the problem that traditional joints can only fix a single pipe diameter.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a PPR pipe fitting suitable for different diameters, including a female fitting 1 and a female fitting 2. The female fitting 2 is connected to the rear end of the female fitting 1. Both the front end face of the female fitting 1 and the rear end face of the female fitting 2 are provided with a conical slot 101. A barrier tube 102 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the conical slot 101. Multiple annular teeth 104 are arrayed and fixedly connected on the inner wall of the conical slot 101. By heat-melting the outer walls of the PPR pipe fittings of different diameters, the two PPR pipes are heat-melted and inserted into the conical slots 101 of the female fitting 1 and the female fitting 2 respectively, so that the barrier tube 104... 2. Insert the PPR pipe into the PPR pipe joint, positioning the PPR pipe joint between the conical slot 101 and the outer wall of the barrier pipe 102. When the conical slot 101 is inserted into the PPR pipe joint, the molten pipe wall contacts the annular teeth 104 on the inner wall of the conical slot 101. As the PPR pipe is gradually inserted, the molten pipe wall engages and is fixed with multiple annular teeth 104. At the same time, the molten pipe wall fills the space between adjacent annular teeth 104 to form an interlocking structure and achieve a seal. The conical slot 101 facilitates the insertion of PPR pipes of different diameters, thereby enabling the connection of PPR pipes of different diameters.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 A tightening ring 203 is fixedly connected to the front end of the outer wall of the female connector 2. A rotating tube 3 is rotatably connected to the outside of the tightening ring 203. An external thread 105 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the outer wall of the male connector 1. An internal thread 302 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the inner wall of the rotating tube 3. The rotating tube 3 is fitted into the rear end of the outer wall of the male connector 1, and the external thread 105 and the internal thread 302 are threadedly connected. Multiple rectangular paddles 301 are arranged in a ring and fixedly connected to the rear end of the outer wall of the rotating tube 3. After the two PPR tubes are fixed to the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 respectively, the male connector 1 and the female connector 2 are connected by the rotating tube 3. At the same time, the tightening ring 203 helps to connect the male connector 1 and the female connector 2. The two PPR pipes are connected by a first sealing ring 201 between the rear end face of the sub-connector 1 and the front end face of the female connector 2, and a second sealing ring 202 between the rear end face of the sub-connector 1 and the front end face of the female connector 2, and outside the first sealing ring 201. The first sealing ring 201 and the second sealing ring 202 are fixedly connected to the front end face of the female connector 2. When the sub-connector 1 and the female connector 2 are tightly connected, they are sealed by the first sealing ring 201 and the second sealing ring 202. The barrier tubes 102 inside the sub-connector 1 and the female connector 2 are connected by the circular opening 103, so that the two PPR pipes are connected by the circular opening 103.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The outer wall of the sub-connector 1 has a ring array of multiple threaded holes 106 in the middle. The front end of the upper surface of the rotating tube 3 has a rectangular groove 303. The lower end of the rectangular groove 303 is connected to the inner wall of the rotating tube 3 through a strip opening 304. The rotating tube 3 and the sub-connector 1 are connected by a screw 4 which extends into the rectangular groove 303, passes through the strip opening 304, and is inserted into a threaded hole 106 on the sub-connector 1 and threadedly connected and fixed. After the rotating tube 3 presses the sub-connector 1 and the female connector 2 together, the rotating tube 3 is rotated slightly (achieved by the elastic deformation of the first sealing ring 201 and the second sealing ring 202) to align the strip opening 304 on the rotating tube 3 with a single threaded hole 106 on the outer wall of the sub-connector 1. Then, the rotating tube 3 and the sub-connector 1 are fixed by the screw 4 to restrict the rotation of the rotating tube 3, thereby effectively preventing the sub-connector 1 and the female connector 2 from separating.

[0026] Working Principle: In use, the ends of two PPR pipes of different diameters are first heat-fused, and then inserted into the tapered slots 101 at the front ends of the female connector 1 and male connector 2, respectively. During insertion, the heat-fused PPR pipe walls tightly engage with the annular teeth 104 on the inner wall of the tapered slot 101. The molten material fills the gaps between the annular teeth 104, forming a double-seal structure. Simultaneously, the barrier tube 102 inserts into the inner cavity of the PPR pipe, providing stable support. During connection, the rotating tube 3 is rotated so that its internal thread 302 is screwed along the external thread 105 of the female connector 1, pushing the tightening ring 203 to press the female connector 2 tightly against the female connector 1. At this point, the first sealing ring 201 and the second sealing ring 202 form a double seal. Finally, a screw 4 is passed through the strip opening 304 of the rotating tube 3 and fixed into the threaded hole 106 of the female connector 1 to prevent loosening. This design, through the tapered slot structure and adjustable rotating tube mechanism, achieves compatible connection of PPR pipes of different diameters and provides anti-loosening and multiple sealing functions.
