The surface of the end of the through part 21 is provided with a first external thread 28. The first locking assembly includes a mounting cylinder 23. The surface of the mounting cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through part 21. A guide protrusion 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 23. A sliding member 25 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide protrusion 24. A locking member 26 is provided at the top of the sliding member 25. The upper end of the locking member 26 is inserted into the interior of the anti-loosening hole 13. A spring 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding member 25. The bottom of the spring 27 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 23.

[0030] In this embodiment, by selecting the corresponding aluminum pipe fitting mechanism according to the connection requirements, when using the tee fitting 21 for connection, the end of the aluminum pipe 11 is aligned with the tee fitting interface, and the aluminum pipe is rotated so that the internal thread 12 engages with the first external thread 28 of the tee fitting. During the tightening process, the end of the aluminum pipe squeezes the locking member 26, which pushes the sliding member 25 down along the guide protrusion 24 and compresses the spring 27.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figure 1-10 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: preferably, the aluminum pipe fitting mechanism is a direct connection pipe fitting, the direct connection pipe fitting includes a direct connection member 31, the two ends of the direct connection member 31 are provided with second external threads 33, and the inside of the direct connection member 31 is provided with a second locking component 32.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the aluminum tube is screwed to the preset position, the anti-loosening hole 13 is aligned with the locking component, the spring return force pushes the sliding component upward, and the locking component is inserted into the anti-loosening hole to complete the double fixation. When the aluminum tube is extended by using the straight connector 31, the internal threads 12 of the aluminum tubes at both ends are respectively screwed into the second external threads 33 of the straight connector, and the internal second locking component 32 is triggered to lock synchronously, which is the same as the first locking component of the tee.

During tightening, the end of the aluminum pipe presses against the locking member 26, causing it to push the sliding member 25 down along the guide protrusion 24 and compress the spring 27. When the aluminum pipe is screwed to the preset position, the anti-loosening hole 13 aligns with the locking member, the spring's return force pushes the sliding member upward, and the locking member inserts into the anti-loosening hole to complete the double fixation. When the straight connector 31 extends the aluminum tube, the internal threads 12 of the aluminum tubes at both ends are screwed into the second external threads 33 of the straight connector. The internal second locking component 32 is triggered to lock synchronously, and the principle is the same as the first locking component of the tee. When the L-shaped pipe fitting 41 is installed to achieve a right-angle connection, the aluminum tube is screwed into the third external thread 43 at the end of the L-shaped pipe fitting. The locking structure of the third locking component 42 is embedded in the anti-loosening hole to ensure a stable connection in the vertical direction. When disassembling, press the locking component to disengage it from the anti-loosening hole, and rotate the aluminum tube in the opposite direction to separate it. The operation is convenient and does not damage the thread structure.
