Abstract

Disclosed is a fluid diverting device which comprises a saddle unit, a water dividing unit and a leakproof tube unit. The saddle unit includes a saddle body, a water inlet through hole and a main pipe accommodating portion. The water dividing unit includes a water dividing main portion, an inlet tube portion and an outlet tube portion. The inlet tube portion is inserted into the water inlet through hole. A screw thread is provided on an external tube wall of the inlet tube portion or on an internal tube wall of the inlet tube portion. The leakproof tube unit includes a sleeve portion, a connecting portion and a leakproof pad. The connecting portion is provided on one end of the sleeve portion and the leakproof pad is in tight contact with the connecting portion. A corresponding screw thread is provided on an external tube wall of the sleeve portion or on an internal tube wall of the sleeve portion. The sleeve portion is screwed with the inlet tube portion in a manner that the external tube wall of the sleeve portion is screwed with the internal tube wall of the inlet tube portion or the internal tube wall of the sleeve portion is screwed with the external tube wall of the inlet tube portion.

Claims (11)

1. A fluid diverting device that diverts water from a water pipe, the fluid diverting device comprising:

a saddle unit including a saddle body, a water inlet through hole and a main pipe accommodating portion, the saddle body having an upper saddle element and a lower saddle element, the water inlet through hole being formed on an upper side of the upper saddle element, the main pipe accommodating portion being formed as enclosed by the upper saddle element and the lower saddle element, the saddle body surrounding the water pipe such that the water pipe passes through the main pipe accommodating portion;

a water dividing unit including a water dividing main portion, an inlet tube portion and an outlet tube portion, the inlet tube portion and the outlet tube portion respectively extending from the water dividing main portion, the inlet tube portion being inserted into the water inlet through hole, a screw thread being provided on an external tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion or an internal tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion; and

a leakproof tube unit including a sleeve portion, a connecting portion and a leakproof pad, the connecting portion being provided on one end of the sleeve portion, the leakproof pad being in tight contact with the connecting portion, an inner tube space of the sleeve portion, an inner tube space of the connecting portion and an inner tube space of the leakproof pad being in fluid-connection with each other to form a fluid passage, a corresponding screw thread being provided on an external tube wall surface of the sleeve portion or being provided on an internal tube wall surface of the sleeve portion, the sleeve portion being provided to screw with the inlet tube portion to form a screw-connection portion in such a manner that the external tube wall surface of the sleeve portion is screwed with the internal tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion or the internal tube wall surface of the sleeve portion is screwed with the external tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion such that the screwed together sleeve portion and the inlet tube portion are inserted into the water inlet through hole, the leakproof pad being attached on the water pipe and in fluid-connection with the water pipe so as to enable the water in the water pipe to flow from the leakproof pad to the outlet tube portion through the connecting portion, the screw-connection portion and the water dividing main portion,

wherein a plurality of positioning portions are provided on the external tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion, a plurality of corresponding positioning portions are provided on a wall of the water inlet through hole, and each of the positioning portions is engaged with each of corresponding positioning portions such that the inlet tube portion is mounted on the water inlet through hole.

2. The fluid diverting device according to claim 1 , wherein the external tube wall surface of the sleeve portion is screwed with the internal tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion, the fluid diverting device further comprises a leakproof ring, the leakproof ring fits around the external tube wall surface of the sleeve portion, and the leakproof ring abuts against the inlet tube portion and a lower end of the water inlet through hole so as to prevent from leakage caused by a gap between the external tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion and the wall of the water inlet through hole.

3. The fluid diverting device according to claim 1 , wherein the internal tube wall surface of the sleeve portion is screwed with the external tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion, the fluid diverting device further comprises a leakproof ring, the leakproof ring fits around the external tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion, and the leakproof ring abuts against the inlet tube portion and an upper end of the water inlet through hole so as to prevent from leakage caused by a gap between the external tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion and the wall of the water inlet through hole.

4. The fluid diverting device according to claim 1 , wherein a recess portion is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion, a protruding portion is formed on an inner edge of the leakproof pad in position corresponding to the recess portion, and the leakproof pad fits around the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion in such a manner that the protruding portion is engaged with the recess portion.

5. The fluid diverting device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion is a flange.

6. The fluid diverting device according to claim 1 , wherein the leakproof tube unit is screwed with the inlet tube portion in such a manner that the external tube wall surface of the sleeve portion is screwed with the internal tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion, and the fluid diverting device further comprises a seal ring fitting around the external tube wall surface of the sleeve portion and contacting the internal tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion.

7. The fluid diverting device according to claim 1 , wherein the leakproof tube unit is screwed with the inlet tube portion in such a manner that the internal tube wall surface of the sleeve portion is screwed with the external tube wall surface of the inlet tube portion, and the fluid diverting device further comprises a seal ring fitting around a lower end of the inlet tube portion and contacting the internal tube wall surface of the sleeve portion.
