Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a quick-connect tee for water pipes, which is a quick-connect fitting for water pipes with a movable clamp. Background Technology

[0002] Quick-connect tees, also known as tee quick couplings, are a common type of pipe fitting in industrial piping systems. They are mainly used for the rapid assembly of three pipes. Their core function is to split or merge fluid media, and they are suitable for scenarios involving the transmission of liquids, gases, and other media. Some quick-connect tees are located at and connected to ball-head quick-connect components, such as the Chinese patent document CN215950723U, authorized announcement date 2022.03.04, utility model title "A quick-connect structure for tee pipes"; and the Chinese patent document CN222925133U, authorized announcement date 2025.05.30, utility model title "Active quick-connect connector". However, the above-mentioned ball-head quick-connect components or active quick-connect connectors are designed with a ball head at one end and a quick connector at the other end. It is difficult to use the ball-head quick-connect components or active quick-connect connectors of the branch pipes on one side of the tee as ball-head universal joints to connect with atomizing nozzles with ball heads, which makes it inconvenient to extend the number of sections, inconvenient to adjust the angle, and inconvenient to install and construct. Meanwhile, the tee bottom or side of the ball joint at the top of the middle of the tee lacks a clamp, making installation and fixing inconvenient; and the clamps of existing similar products are relatively fixed, making it difficult to adjust the width of the clamps. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-connect water pipe fitting with a movable clamp, thereby solving the technical problems of existing similar products lacking clamp settings, resulting in inconvenient fixing, especially the lack of a movable clamp structure design. Additionally, the angle adjustment at the top center connection of some T-joint quick-connect fittings or T-joint micro-spray pipe fittings is inconvenient, leading to inconvenient installation and construction. This objective is achieved through the following technical solution.
