DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(6) Multiple preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings of the description, to make the technical content clearer and easier to be understood. The present invention can be implemented by many embodiments in different forms, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

(7) FIG. 1 shows a specific embodiment of the present invention. An inner wall of an anti-dropping steel ring 11 is provided with a row of first snapping parts 112 distributed at intervals in a circumferential direction, and a row of second snapping parts 111 distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction extend from a circumferential edge on one side of the anti-dropping steel ring 11 in an axial direction. A bottom of the first snapping part 112 is formed by means of stamping, which helps to simplify the process and save costs. The first snapping part 112 and the second snapping part 111 are arranged to be staggered with respect to each other in the circumferential direction. When pressed, the first snapping part 112 and the second snapping part 111 are snapped within an outer wall material of a pipe 2, and a design of a staggered arrangement enables the anti-dropping steel ring to bear uniform forces.

(8) In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the anti-dropping steel ring 11 is provided with multiple rows of first snapping parts 112 distributed in the circumferential direction, and a row of second snapping parts 111 distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction extend from the circumferential edge on one or two sides of the anti-dropping steel ring 11 in the axial direction. The multiple rows of first snapping parts 112 can be arranged to be staggered with respect to each other.

(9) A first interface part of the anti-dropping steel ring 11 is a convex part 113, and a second interface part of the anti-dropping steel ring 11 is a concave part 114 that can accommodate the convex part 113. The convex part 113 and the concave part 114 cooperate to implement closing of the anti-dropping steel ring 11. In this embodiment, both structures of the convex part 113 and the concave part 114 are V-shaped structures. For a press-fitting type pipe fitting 3 subject to press-fitting, a diameter of the anti-dropping steel ring 11 is reduced. The convex part 113 cooperates with the concave part 114. When an inner pressure or an outer tension is imposed, due to its shape feature, the V-structure can effectively prevent the anti-dropping steel ring 11 from being dislocated in a direction of the pipe 2, thereby ensuring the anti-dropping strength and the sealing performance.

(10) FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show another specific embodiment of the present invention. A press-fitting end of a fixing sealing device 3 is provided with a mounting part 31. The mounting part 31 has a first side edge 311 and a second side edge 312. The second side edge 312 leans inward to be integrally connected with the fixing sealing device 3. A cross section of the mounting part 31 is a U-shaped structure. The anti-dropping steel ring 11, a plastic washer 12, and a sealing ring 13 are mounted in the mounting part 31. Both the first snapping part 112 and the second snapping part 111 of the anti-dropping steel ring 11 face towards a positioning end 32 of the fixing sealing device 3. When pressed, an end part of the pipe 2 is located at the positioning end of the fixing sealing device 3, and the first snapping part 112 and the second snapping part 111 are snapped into the outer wall material of the pipe 2, to prevent the pipe 2 from dropping in the axial direction. The press-fitting end of the fixing sealing device 3 is a place where an eternal force is imposed. The positioning end of the fixing sealing device 3 can fix the end part of the pipe 2 inserted thereinto at a specified position.

(11) All of the anti-dropping steel ring 11, the plastic washer 12, and the sealing ring 13 are circular. All outer diameters of the anti-dropping steel ring 11, the plastic washer 12, and the sealing ring 13 are equal to an inner diameter of the mounting part 31 of the fixing sealing device 3, and all inner diameters of the anti-dropping steel ring 11, the plastic washer 12, and the sealing ring 13 are slightly greater than an outer diameter of the pipe 2, to facilitate insertion of the pipe 2 upon mounting. The first side edge 311 and the second side edge 312 fix the anti-dropping steel ring 11, the plastic washer 12, and the sealing ring 13 in the mounting part 31, so that the anti-dropping steel ring 11, the plastic washer 12, and the sealing ring 13 are not easy to drop from the press-fitting pipe fitting 3.

(12) FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the plastic washer 12 between the anti-dropping steel ring 11 and the sealing ring 13. In this embodiment, an outer side of the plastic washer 12 is provided with a hook-shaped flange 121, the hook-shaped flange 121 is a thin wall structure, and a compressible groove 122 is formed between the hook-shaped flange 121 and the body 123 of the plastic washer 12. For the fixing sealing device 3 subject to the press-fitting, due to a shape feature of the groove 122 provided at the outer side of the plastic washer 12, the groove 122 is compressed to be closed, so that the outer diameter of the plastic washer 12 is reduced to prevent deforming and bending of the plastic washer 12 in a direction after the press-fitting, which damage the sealing ring 13. In addition, the anti-dropping steel ring 11 and the sealing ring 13 can be separated effectively, to prevent the sealing ring 13 from being damaged by the first snapping part 112 and the second snapping part 111 on the anti-dropping steel ring 11, thereby implementing reliable sealing.

(13) FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show another specific embodiment of the present invention. Upon press-fitting, the first side edge 311 of the mounting part 31 is pressed in a radial direction onto the pipe 2. In this case, the diameter of the mounting part 31 is reduced, thereby compelling the diameters of the anti-dropping steel ring 11 and the plastic washer 12 pressing against the first side edge 311 and the sealing ring 13 pressing against the second side edge 312 to be reduced therewith. After the press-fitting is completed, the first snapping part 112 and the second snapping part 111 of the anti-dropping steel ring 11 are snapped into the outer wall material of the pipe 2, the first interface part and the second interface part on the anti-dropping steel ring 11 cooperate with each other to implement closing of the anti-dropping steel ring 11, the groove 122 on the plastic washer 12 is compressed, and the sealing ring 13 is compressed and enduringly presses against the pipe 2 in a sealing manner.

(14) The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention have already been described above in detail. It shall be understood that one skilled in the art could make various modifications and variations according to the concept of the present invention without contributing any inventive labor. Therefore, any technical solution that could be obtained by one skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments according to the concept of the present invention based on the prior art shall be included in the protection scope defined by the Claims.
