Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies, specifically an irregularly shaped tee. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production and daily life, pipeline systems serve as crucial carriers for material transport and circulation, making the performance and reliability of their connecting components paramount. With the continuous improvement of industrial automation and the increasing demands for product quality in sectors such as home furnishings and pet supplies, the application scenarios for special pipe fittings like shaped tees are becoming increasingly widespread, placing higher demands on their functionality, durability, and ease of installation.

[0003] Currently, most non-standard tees on the market have relatively simple structures, with the main connecting pipe and the connecting side pipe having a single cross-sectional shape, such as round or square. During assembly, positioning relies mainly on manual measurement and marking, lacking convenient positioning markers. Furthermore, to ensure structural strength, most tees simply increase wall thickness and other conventional methods, which, while meeting strength requirements, also increase material costs and component weight.

[0004] The current process for manufacturing and using irregularly shaped tees typically involves first fabricating the main connecting pipe and the connecting side pipe separately, and then assembling them together through welding, bonding, or other methods to form a tee structure. During use, they are directly installed into the piping system as needed. The design for preventing damage from external factors often lacks specific measures and relies solely on the inherent damage resistance of the materials themselves.

[0005] However, existing irregular-shaped tees have many drawbacks. Due to the lack of a quick-positioning structure, installation errors are prone to occur during assembly, affecting construction efficiency and the normal operation of the pipeline system. At the same time, the limitations of the strength reinforcement methods make the tees susceptible to damage when subjected to greater pressure or external impact. In special applications such as pet supplies, there is no anti-chewing design, and pets can easily damage the tee components by chewing, which not only affects use but may also cause safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0006] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an irregularly shaped tee to solve the technical problems of existing tee pipes, such as difficulty in assembly and positioning, insufficient strength, and susceptibility to damage from pet chewing.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an irregularly shaped tee, including a main connecting pipe, characterized in that: a pair of connecting side pipes are connected to the main connecting pipe, and a connecting plate is provided within the included angle of the connecting side pipes.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the structural strength of the three-way pipe body is constructed.

[0009] The present invention is further provided that the bottom of the connecting side tube is provided with a supporting reinforcing rib, and the supporting reinforcing rib is connected to the main connecting tube.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the strength of the tee pipe can be increased.

[0011] The present invention is further provided that the connecting plate has a connecting hole.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the effect of quickly connecting other mounting parts through the connection holes can be achieved.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the main connecting pipe and the pair of connecting side pipes are perpendicular to each other, the cross-section of the connecting side pipe is circular, and the cross-section of the main connecting pipe is square.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the pipe position of the tee pipe can be quickly located.

[0015] The present invention is further provided with a guide slope at the connection side plate of the main connecting pipe and the pair of connecting side pipes.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the effect of preventing pets from chewing on the corners and edges as stress points can be achieved.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that the supporting reinforcing rib is disposed in close to the edge of the main connecting pipe, and the supporting reinforcing rib is tangentially transitioned to the main connecting pipe and the connecting side pipe.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the edge of the T-shaped pipe can be prevented from becoming a point of force for pets to chew on.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0020] 1. This utility model sets different cross-sectional shapes on the main connecting pipe and the connecting side pipe, which can be quickly positioned according to the shape during assembly, reducing the manual measurement and marking process, reducing the installation error rate, significantly improving construction efficiency, and ensuring the accuracy and convenience of pipeline system installation;

[0021] 2. This utility model features a supporting reinforcing rib at the bottom of the connecting side tube, which transitions tangentially to the main connecting tube. A guide slope is also provided at the side plate, and a connecting plate further strengthens the side tube. This effectively enhances the strength of the tee structure, prevents damage from pet chewing, extends service life, and reduces safety hazards. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0028] Irregularly shaped tees, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a main connecting pipe 1, to which a pair of connecting side pipes 2 are connected. The main connecting pipe 1 and the pair of connecting side pipes 2 form the main body of a tee pipe. Specifically, the main connecting pipe 1 and the pair of connecting side pipes 2 are perpendicular to each other. The cross-section of the connecting side pipes 2 is circular, and the cross-section of the main connecting pipe 1 is square. By setting different cross-sectional shapes, the user can quickly position the pipe according to its cross-sectional shape when assembling it using the tee pipe.

[0029] Furthermore, a supporting reinforcing rib 4 is provided at the bottom of the connecting side tube 2. The supporting reinforcing rib 4 is connected to the main connecting tube 1. The strength of the tee tube body is ensured by the reinforcing rib, which can effectively prevent damage caused by low strength of the plastic parts.

[0030] Meanwhile, the supporting reinforcing rib 4 is set close to the edge of the main connecting pipe 1, and the supporting reinforcing rib 4 is tangentially transitioned to the main connecting pipe 1 and the connecting side pipe 2. In this way, the supporting reinforcing rib 4 increases the two-sided area of ​​the connecting side pipe 2, preventing pet teeth from finding the stress point and causing damage to the component. With this setting, when pets bite the plastic parts in daily use, their teeth will move under the guidance of the cut edge, making it difficult for pets to bite and damage the plastic parts. In conjunction with this, the main connecting pipe 1 and the pair of connecting side pipes 2 are provided with guide slopes 6 at the connecting side plates. The guide slopes 6 further enhance the effect of preventing pets from biting and damaging the plastic parts, shorten the three-sided travel of the tee pipe, and further reduce the possibility of damage.

[0031] Based on the above structure, a connecting plate 3 is provided within the included angle of the connecting side tube 2. A connecting hole 5 is provided on the connecting plate 3. The connecting plate 3 enhances the strength between the pair of connecting side tubes 2, while the connecting hole 5 facilitates the connection of the tee tube to other components.
