Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline technology, specifically a three-way pipe. Background Technology
[0002] A tee is a pipe fitting used in piping systems. It consists of a main pipe and branch pipes, and its main function is to allow fluids (liquids or gases) to flow separately or together in the pipeline.
[0003] Existing tee pipes also have the following problems: Traditional tee pipes usually adopt a smooth connection structure where the main pipe and branch pipes are directly connected, which is relatively simple in construction. However, when fluid flows inside the pipe, especially during the process of diversion or merging at the tee, the tee structure will be subjected to more powerful impacts. In the long-term use, the pipe structure is more prone to damage, which will seriously have an adverse effect on the normal use and service life of the pipe.
[0004] Therefore, a three-way pipe is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The inner ring is rotatably disposed inside the main pipe, and the center line of the main pipe coincides with the center line of the inner ring. The driving element is rotatably disposed on the side of the main pipe, and the driving element penetrates the main pipe and engages with the inner ring.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of a tee pipe, the inner ring is connected to the main pipe via a sealing seat, the inner ring can rotate along the sealing seat, and the drive element passes through the main pipe and the sealing seat to engage with the inner ring.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of a tee pipe, one or more turbine blades are arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the inner ring to improve the flow of clogging within the main pipe.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0030] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0032] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used merely for descriptive distinction and have no specific meaning.
[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, a tee pipe is provided, including: a main pipe 1, a mounting ring 2, a connecting port 3, and a branch pipe 4. The mounting ring 2 surrounds the main pipe 1 and protrudes from the inner wall of the main pipe 1 toward the pipe surface of the main pipe 1; the connecting port 3 is opened in the mounting ring 2 and extends into the cavity of the main pipe 1; the branch pipe 4 is disposed in the connecting port 3 and communicates with the main pipe 1, and both the mounting ring 2 and the recessed groove are engaged with the branch pipe 4.
[0035] The present invention provides a three-way pipe, in which the mounting ring 2 protrudes from the inner wall of the main pipe 1 to the pipe surface, which can strengthen the pipe, especially near the connecting port 3, so that the pipe can better withstand the internal fluid pressure and possible external impact force, and ensure the integrity of the pipe structure.
[0036] When fluid flows inside the pipe, stress is concentrated, especially near the connection port 3 of the tee pipe. The mounting ring 2, protruding from the inner wall of the main pipe 1 towards the pipe surface, forms a reinforcing structure. According to beam theory in mechanics of materials, the protruding mounting ring 2 increases the moment of inertia of the pipe cross-section. The moment of inertia is an important indicator of an object's resistance to bending deformation; the larger the moment of inertia, the stronger the object's resistance to bending deformation. When subjected to bending moments generated by fluid pressure, the mounting ring increases the pipe's resistance to these bending moments, thereby reducing pipe deformation near the connection port.
[0037] Preferably, the tee pipe is mainly made of plastic, so that the main pipe 1, the mounting ring 2, the connecting port 3 and the branch pipe 4 are integrally formed.
[0038] Preferably, the side of the pipe opening of the main pipe 1 has a label 5, which is used to mark the installation direction and the material flow direction, thereby improving the efficiency of the installation work.
[0039] The three-way pipe also includes a filter screen 7, which is positioned inside the main pipe 1. The inner wall of the main pipe 1 is provided with a boss 6, which is integrally formed with the main pipe 1. The filter screen 7 is positioned on the boss 6 by screws. The filter screen 7 is used to intercept waste in the main pipe 1.
[0040] Preferably, the pipe opening of the main pipe 1 is provided with an installation groove 8, which is used for installation limit to improve the installation fit accuracy.
[0041] The opening of the main pipe 1 can clamp the pipe body 9 to achieve the function of extending the length. The pipe body 9 has an integrally formed locking block 10. The locking block 10 cooperates with the installation groove 8 to improve the installation accuracy of the pipe body 9 and the main pipe 1 and prevent the tee pipe from leaking.
[0042] like Figure 4-7 As shown, this three-way pipe also includes an anti-blocking component 11, which is installed at the opening of the main pipe 1 to effectively prevent blockage inside the main pipe 1, ensuring smooth flow of fluid in the pipe, thereby ensuring that the entire pipe system can operate continuously and stably.
[0043] Specifically, the anti-clogging component 11 includes an inner ring a and a driving element b. The inner ring a is rotatably disposed inside the main pipe 1, and the center line of the main pipe 1 coincides with the center line of the inner ring a to ensure the concentricity of the main pipe 1 and the inner ring a. The driving element b is rotatably disposed on the side of the main pipe 1 and penetrates the main pipe 1 to engage with the inner ring a.
[0044] The inner ring a is rotatably mounted inside the main pipe 1 and coincides with the center line of the main pipe 1, ensuring that the inner ring a can evenly act on the fluid flowing through the main pipe 1 during rotation. When the fluid flows in the main pipe 1, the rotation of the inner ring a can generate a stirring effect. For fluids containing solid particulate impurities, such as silt mixed in sewage, the rotation of the inner ring a can prevent these impurities from accumulating and settling at the bottom or wall of the main pipe 1, keeping them in a suspended state and transported away with the fluid, thereby avoiding pipe blockage caused by impurity accumulation.
[0045] When transporting viscous fluids, the rotation of the inner ring a can break the viscous layer of the fluid, change the flow state of the fluid, make it easier to flow in the pipe, reduce the risk of slow flow or even blockage caused by viscosity, and help maintain good fluidity of the fluid in the main pipe 1.
[0046] Since the centerline of the inner ring a coincides with the centerline of the main pipe 1, its rotation will not disrupt the normal mainstream direction of the fluid. Instead, it will generate moderate disturbances locally, guiding the fluid to be distributed more evenly across the cross-section of the main pipe 1. This helps improve the uniformity of the fluid velocity within the main pipe 1, avoiding the risk of blockage caused by excessively slow local flow velocities, ensuring a more stable and balanced flow rate to each branch pipe 4, and ensuring efficient flow throughout the entire pipeline.
[0047] The drive element b is rotatably mounted on the side of the main pipe 1 and engages with the inner ring a. Driven by an external power source c (such as a motor), the drive element b accurately transmits power to the inner ring a, causing it to rotate in a predetermined direction and speed. The drive power and speed of the drive element b can be rationally selected based on factors such as fluid properties, flow rate, and pipe size to precisely control the rotation of the inner ring a, achieving optimal anti-clogging performance.
[0048] This also ensures the accuracy and stability of power transmission. The tight and reliable fit between them allows the inner ring a to rotate stably with the rotation of the drive element b, without slippage, jamming, or other issues that could affect the anti-clogging function, ensuring that the inner ring a can continuously and effectively play its anti-clogging role within the main pipe 1.
[0049] Moreover, this external drive element b configuration facilitates its operation, maintenance, and replacement. During the daily operation and maintenance of the pipeline system, if the drive element b fails, it can be repaired or replaced relatively easily from the main pipe 1 side without requiring large-scale disassembly of the entire pipeline, thus minimizing the impact on the normal operation of the pipeline.
[0050] Specifically, the inner ring a is connected to the main pipe 1 through the sealing seat g. The inner ring a can rotate along the sealing seat g. The driving element b passes through the main pipe 1 and the sealing seat g and engages with the inner ring a.
[0051] The sealing seat g plays a key role in connecting the inner ring a and the main pipe 1. It provides a stable rotational support structure for the inner ring a, allowing the inner ring a to rotate smoothly along the sealing seat g, avoiding abnormal situations such as eccentricity or shaking of the inner ring a, ensuring that the inner ring a uniformly agitates the fluid in the main pipe 1, and can play a good anti-clogging role.
[0052] It effectively prevents fluid from leaking out from the connection between the inner ring a and the main pipe 1, ensuring the pipeline's sealing and protecting other equipment and the environment outside the pipeline.
[0053] Preferably, the sealing seat g can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which has an extremely low coefficient of friction. This results in minimal friction on the inner ring a as it rotates along the sealing seat g, allowing for smoother rotation and reducing power loss in the drive element b. It also exhibits excellent chemical stability, being virtually unaffected by all chemicals and capable of stable operation in pipelines transporting corrosive fluids such as strong acids and alkalis. Even with prolonged contact with corrosive media, the performance of the sealing seat g will not degrade, maintaining excellent sealing performance over a long period.
[0054] Specifically, the inner ring a has one or more turbine blades f arranged circumferentially on its inner wall. The turbine blades f improve the flow of fluid within the main pipe 1, enhancing fluid agitation. As the fluid passes through, it exerts a force on the turbine blades f, causing them to rotate the inner ring a, much like water driving a waterwheel. Simultaneously, the rotating inner ring a further agitates the surrounding fluid, promoting smoother flow within the main pipe 1 and reducing the risk of slow flow and blockage. Specifically, the turbine blades f can be integrally formed with the inner ring and are made of plastic.
[0055] Preferably, there is a rotating connector d between the inner ring a and the main pipe 1. The rotating connector d is fixed to the inner wall of the main pipe 1 and is fitted onto the surface of the inner ring a.
[0056] Preferably, the rotating connector d can be a bearing to improve the rotational flexibility of the inner ring a. Furthermore, an mounting plate e can be integrally formed inside the main pipe 1 to position the sealing seat g, which can be directly snapped into the outer circumference of the inner ring a during bearing installation, thereby improving the concentricity of the inner ring a and enhancing the anti-clogging effect of the pipeline.
[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
