Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connecting pipe technology, specifically relating to a three-way connecting pipe. Background Technology
[0002] A tee connector is a pipe fitting used in piping systems to achieve fluid diversion or merging. Its main body has a "T" shape and three interfaces, which can be connected to three pipes respectively. It is widely used in water supply and drainage, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, chemical industry, gas industry and other fields.
[0003] Current T-joint pipes often face problems such as insufficient connection flexibility and easy blockage of pipes by impurities in the medium. Traditional T-joint fittings are mostly fixed structures, and long-term flow of impurities in the medium can lead to blockage inside the pipe or damage to equipment. Existing filter structures are either inconvenient to install or not securely fixed. Therefore, a new T-joint pipe is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a three-way connecting pipe that facilitates the installation and removal of filter screens in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A three-way connector includes two centrally symmetrical three-way fittings, each three-way fitting having multiple connection ports, a filter screen inside each three-way fitting, and a sealing gasket between the three-way fittings.
[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the connection port is provided with a mounting groove, and the mounting groove is connected with a recess.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the filter screen is disposed in the mounting groove.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the filter screen is provided with protrusions on both sides, and the protrusions can be embedded in the grooves.
[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, a sealing groove is provided on the tee fitting, and a sealing ring is provided in the sealing groove, and the sealing groove is located above the mounting groove.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the tee fitting is provided with multiple rotating seats, and a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the rotating seats. The tee fitting is hinged to another tee fitting through the rotating shaft.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] Unlike existing technologies, this system utilizes two centrally symmetrical tee fittings, a rotating seat, and a rotating shaft to achieve a hinged connection, significantly improving connection flexibility and facilitating rapid pipe assembly. The sealing gasket between the two fittings effectively enhances the sealing performance of the connection, preventing media leakage. The mounting groove and recess at the connection point, combined with the protrusions on the filter screen, ensures stable installation and quick disassembly of the filter screen, facilitating cleaning and maintenance while effectively filtering media impurities and preventing pipe blockage.

[0019] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0020] Example 1, such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a three-way connecting pipe includes two centrally symmetrical three-way fittings 1, each with multiple connection ports 11. The three-way fittings 1 are characterized by having a filter screen 3 inside and a sealing gasket 5 between them. The filter screen 3 filters the flowing medium, preventing impurities from clogging the pipe or damaging downstream equipment. The sealing gasket 5 fills the gap when the two three-way fittings 1 are connected, effectively preventing medium leakage and ensuring the sealing of the transportation process.
[0021] The connector 11 has a mounting groove 4, which is connected to a recess 41. The filter screen 3 is placed in the mounting groove 4. The filter screen 3 has protrusions 31 on both sides, which can be embedded in the recess 41. The mounting groove 4 provides a precise installation position for the filter screen 3, ensuring that the filter screen 3 can stably perform its filtering function. At the same time, the installation position of the filter screen 3 can be selected as needed. The cooperation between the recess 41 and the protrusions 31 can firmly fix the filter screen 3, preventing it from shifting or rotating under the impact of the medium, thus increasing the wear of the filter screen 3 and ensuring the stability of the filtering effect. This structure also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the filter screen 3, making it convenient for later cleaning or replacement and reducing maintenance costs.
[0022] The tee fitting 1 has a sealing groove 21, and a sealing ring 2 is provided in the sealing groove 21. The sealing groove 21 is located above the mounting groove 4. The sealing groove 21 provides installation space for the sealing ring 2, so that it can fit tightly to the connection part and enhance the sealing performance of the connection between the connection port 11 and the external pipe. The sealing groove 21 is located above the mounting groove 4, providing installation space for the pipe and improving the overall sealing and filtration effect.
[0023] The tee fitting 1 is provided with multiple rotating seats 12, and a rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 12. The tee fitting 1 is hinged to another tee fitting 1 through the rotating shaft 13. The cooperation between the rotating seat 12 and the rotating shaft 13 realizes the hinge connection of the two tee fittings 1, so that they can rotate flexibly.
[0024] The working principle of this tee connector is as follows: The whole is composed of two centrally symmetrical tee fittings 1. The two are hinged by a rotating seat 12 on the tee fitting 1 and a rotating shaft 13 rotatably connected to the rotating seat 12. This structure allows the two tee fittings 1 to rotate flexibly, thus facilitating the quick connection of the pipes. The sealing gasket 5 set between the two tee fittings 1 can effectively prevent the medium from leaking at the connection and ensure the sealing of the connection.
[0025] At the connection port 11 of the tee fitting 1, an installation groove 4 is provided, and a groove 41 is connected to the installation groove 4. The filter screen 3 is placed in the installation groove 4, and the protrusions 31 on both sides of the filter screen 3 can be embedded in the groove 41, thereby firmly fixing the filter screen 3 in the installation groove 4. Since there are multiple connection ports 11, the filter screen 3 is installed in the installation groove 4 corresponding to the water inlet. When the medium flows through the connection port 11, the filter screen 3 can filter the medium and intercept impurities, thereby purifying the medium. At the same time, the hinged tee fitting 1 facilitates the quick disassembly and assembly of the filter screen 3 and makes it easy to clean the filter screen 3.
[0026] In addition, a sealing groove 21 is provided on the tee fitting 1. The sealing groove 21 is located above the mounting groove 4. The sealing ring 2 provided inside it can further enhance the sealing between the connection port 11 and the external pipeline when they are connected, and prevent the medium from leaking from the connection port 11 and the external pipeline. Combined with the sealing gasket 5 between the two tee fittings 1, the sealing performance of the entire tee connection pipe is fully guaranteed during the medium transportation process.
[0027] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
