[0002] In various piping systems, tee fittings are key components for fluid diversion, merging, and flow direction modification. Their performance significantly impacts the overall system's efficiency and stability. Traditional tee fittings typically employ threaded nut butt joints or thermoforming welding for connection. Threaded nut butt joints require tools to tighten the nuts, making installation cumbersome and time-consuming. Disassembly is also extremely difficult, greatly increasing maintenance and time costs. Furthermore, piping systems often face diverse requirements, with pipe diameters being a significant factor. Different equipment interfaces, varying flow rates, and different installation space constraints necessitate connecting pipes of various diameters within a single piping system. However, most existing tee fittings are designed for specific pipe diameters, offering limited versatility. When connecting pipes of different diameters, adapters are usually required, necessitating multiple conversions to achieve the connection.

[0003] Therefore, this application provides a quick-connect tee connector. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0025] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application provides a quick-connect tee connector, comprising:

[0027] The tee connector 100 includes a tee seat 10, a connector 20, and a fixing mechanism 40. The tee seat 10 is provided with three interfaces 11. The connector 20 is inserted into the interface 11, and the fixing mechanism 40 is provided inside the connector 20. The quick-connect mechanism 30 is provided on the outside of the interface 11 and includes a locking push ring 31 slidably connected to the outer wall of the interface 11, an installation groove 33 equidistantly opened on the inner wall of the interface 11, and a locking groove 36 opened on the outer wall of the connector 20. A pressure table 35 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the locking push ring 31. The pressure table 35 and the outer inner wall of the locking push ring 31 form a receiving cavity 32. A ball bearing 34 is slidably connected inside the installation groove 33.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixing mechanism 40 is set inside the connector 20, so that the connector 20 can be connected to pipes of different sizes. When connecting pipes, the quick-connect mechanism 30 is set to insert the connector 20 into the tee connector. The ball 34 in the quick-connect mechanism 30 is squeezed into the locking groove 36 on the outer wall of the connector 20, thereby fixing the connector 20 and realizing quick connection. By moving the ball 34 out of the locking groove 36, the connector 20 is unlocked, thereby realizing quick disassembly.

[0029] It should be noted that when one end of the pipe to be connected is inserted into the connector 20, the pipe first pushes the connecting piece 44 on the outer wall of the retaining ring 41 outward, so that the fastening piece 45 at the end of the connecting piece 44 is tightly against the outer wall of the pipe. Continue to push the pipe inward until the end of the pipe contacts the reducing groove 43 inside the reducing block 42. Since the reducing groove 43 has a stepped structure, it can seal pipes of different diameters. At the same time, since the inner wall of the fastening piece 45 is provided with a friction pad 46, the friction of the friction pad 46 combined with the resistance of the connecting piece 44 prevents the pipe from being pulled outward after entering the retaining ring 41. This allows the connector 20 to connect pipes of different diameters. After the pipe is installed, pull the locking push ring 31 inward to lock it. The receiving cavity 32 on one side of the push ring 31 moves to the upper surface of the ball 34. At this time, the connector 20 is inserted into the interface 11. When the connector 20 enters the interface 11, its outer wall pushes the ball 34 upward into the receiving cavity 32. When the locking groove 36 on the outer wall of the connector 20 moves below the ball 34, the ball 34 enters the locking groove 36 due to gravity. At this time, the locking push ring 31 is released and the rebound force of the return spring 13 resets the locking push ring 31. When the locking push ring 31 resets, the pressure plate 35 on one side moves to the outer wall of the mounting groove 33. The pressure plate 35 blocks the upper end of the mounting groove 33 to prevent the ball 34 from moving out of the locking groove 36, thereby achieving quick installation. When disassembling, simply repeat the above operation to pull out the connector 20.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the outer wall of the interface 11 is integrally provided with a mounting base 12, and a return spring 13 is provided between the locking push ring 31 and the mounting base 12. The locking push ring 31 can be automatically reset by the rebound force of the return spring 13.

[0031] In one optional embodiment, a sealing platform 38 is integrally provided on one side of the inner wall of the interface 11, and a sealing ring 39 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the sealing platform 38. A support platform 37 adapted to the sealing platform 38 is provided on the outer wall of the connector 20 near the locking groove 36. When the connector 20 is inserted into the interface 11, the position of the connector 20 is limited by the support platform 37 and the sealing platform 38, and the sealing performance inside the connector is improved by setting the sealing ring 39.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the fixing mechanism 40 includes a fixing ring 41 fixedly installed on one side inside the connector 20 and a reducing block 42 disposed inside the connector 20. The reducing block 42 is provided with a reducing groove 43 with a stepped structure inside. When the pipe enters the connector 20, since the reducing groove 43 has a stepped structure, it can contact and cooperate with pipes of different diameters, thereby enabling the connector to seal pipes of different diameters.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of equidistantly distributed connecting pieces 44 are integrally provided on one side of the fixing ring 41, and a fastening piece 45 is integrally provided on the side of the connecting piece 44 away from the fixing ring 41. There are gaps between the plurality of connecting pieces 44. When the pipe enters the interior of the connector 20, it first pushes the connecting pieces 44 on the outer wall of the fixing ring 41 outward, so that the fastening piece 45 at the end of the connecting piece 44 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the pipe, so that the pipe cannot be withdrawn outward after entering the interior of the fixing ring 41, thereby enabling the connector 20 to connect pipes of different diameters.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the radius of the fastening plate 45 is smaller than the radius of the fixing ring 41, and friction pads 46 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of multiple fastening plates 45. The friction between the fastening plate 45 and the pipe is increased by setting the friction pads 46.

[0035] In one optional embodiment, the outer wall of the locking push ring 31 is provided with friction texture to increase the friction of the outer wall of the locking push ring 31.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, a sealing ring 2 47 is fixedly installed on each step vertical surface of the reducing groove 43, thereby improving the sealing performance between the joint 20 and the pipe.
