Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building engineering technology, and specifically to a building pipeline separation system. Background Technology

[0002] Pipeline separation refers to the practice of placing equipment and pipelines outside the structural system in a building. As is well known, with my country's increasing emphasis on environmental protection, traditional high-energy-consuming buildings are no longer suitable for sustainable development. Therefore, the country is vigorously promoting industrialized construction, with "prefabricated buildings," which extensively utilize precast concrete technology, becoming a trend. In traditional buildings, interior equipment pipelines are typically embedded in the concrete floor slabs and walls, resulting in high maintenance costs. When these pipelines age, they cannot be replaced, thus affecting the building's lifespan. Pipeline separation technology, by residing pipelines outside the building, allows for modular and standardized production in factories based on blueprints. During construction, different combinations can be assembled on-site, greatly increasing flexibility and reducing waste during construction.

[0003] Traditional techniques involve pre-drilling holes / embedding pipes within the structure to embed water pipes, high-voltage electrical wires (e.g., live, neutral, and ground wires), and low-voltage electrical wires (e.g., network cables, telephone lines, and digital TV cables) into the main structural wall panels and floor slabs. However, the lifespan of these devices and pipelines is generally only 10-20 years, requiring multiple replacements within the building's lifespan, leading to repeated damage to the main structure and reducing the building's lifespan. Furthermore, interior modifications also necessitate structural damage and re-laying of pipelines, further reducing the building's durability. At the junctions between wall and floor pipelines, holes need to be pre-drilled in the floor to provide access for subsequent pipeline installation. A typical method involves erecting formwork, setting up molds at predetermined locations on the formwork, and then pouring concrete onto wooden planks. Once the concrete hardens, the required holes are created between the floor slabs. This existing method of separating pipelines results in high maintenance costs and is inconvenient for future renovations and upgrades.

[0004] Existing technologies employ prefabricated mounting brackets to achieve separate pipeline layouts. For example, Chinese patent CN208604981U discloses a residential building where pipelines are separated from the main structure. This building includes a main structure and pipelines. The main structure includes wall panels and floor slabs. The pipelines include water pipes, low-voltage electrical wires, and high-voltage electrical wires. The room has a suspended ceiling, a baseboard, door frames around the doorway, and longitudinal grooves on the wall panels. This allows water pipes and high-voltage electrical wires to be laid within the suspended ceiling and then extend downwards to sockets and faucets through the longitudinal grooves or gaps between decorative panels on the wall panels. Low-voltage electrical wires are laid within the baseboards and door frames. While this method overcomes the drawback of requiring the excavation of floor slabs and wall panels for traditional pre-buried pipeline maintenance, it also presents the following problems: the mounting brackets are generally not directly installed on the floor slab or wall to avoid excessive drilling. Typically, a light steel keel is first installed on the base plate and ceiling, and the mounting brackets for accommodating pipelines are installed on the keel. Then, decorative panels are installed on the outer side of the wall. This not only increases the wall thickness and reduces the indoor area, but also creates gaps between the decorative panels and the keel, resulting in a hollow feel in the wall and a poor user experience. Furthermore, in the humid environment of the south, mold can grow in the gaps, affecting the health of the residents.

[0005] Existing pipeline separation technology is often combined with overhead systems. For example, an overhead ground system supplied by China Chuanli (CN111764593) includes a wooden joist frame, a basic structural layer, a base assembly, an underfloor heating module layer, a heat dissipation layer, and a painted panel. The wooden joist frame is fixed to the wall elevation line above the basic structural layer. The underfloor heating module layer is erected on the wooden joist frame and the base assembly, forming an overhead layer between the underfloor heating module layer and the basic structural layer. The underfloor heating module layer has a pipe groove for embedding underfloor heating pipes. Structural adhesive is applied to the underfloor heating module layer, and a heat dissipation layer made of calcium carbonate boards is bonded to the structural adhesive. Isolators are set on the heat dissipation layer with the threaded sleeves of the isolators facing upwards. The assembled painted panels are laid on the heat dissipation layer, and the isolators are set at the corners of the painted panels. Each painted panel corner is pressed by a clamping device screwed into the threaded sleeve. In the aforementioned prior art, the elevated floor serves as a pipeline channel, eliminating the need for additional installation components at the junction of the wall and the floor. However, this approach presents several problems. Firstly, it raises the indoor floor level, reducing the indoor vertical space, which is not well-received by users. Secondly, in humid residential or office spaces in the south, the elevated floor is prone to dampness and mold growth, affecting health and well-being. Furthermore, rodents and ants can easily enter the elevated space and damage the pipelines.

[0006] In summary, the existing pipeline separation layout method has the following problems:

[0007] 1) The traditional method of pre-drilling holes / embedding pipes in the structure will damage the structure of the floor slab or structural wall, and the subsequent maintenance cost is high and it is not convenient for pipeline modification and replacement.

[0008] 2) Prefabricated wall mounting increases the thickness of the wall and creates a hollow feeling, resulting in a poor user experience and making it prone to mold growth;

[0009] 3) The elevated ground method not only raises the ground height too much, but also makes it easy for mold to grow, and even insects and ants can enter the elevated space to gnaw on the pipelines, shortening the service life of the pipelines. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The present invention aims to provide a building pipeline separation system to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0011] A building pipeline separation system includes a ground system and a wall system. The ground system includes a ground construction layer, and the wall system includes a wall structure layer. The improvement lies in that a pre-reserved trench is provided between the ground construction layer and the wall structure layer. This pre-reserved trench is formed during the laying of the ground construction layer. Pipeline channels are provided within the pre-reserved trench. These pipeline channels are one or more of the following: pipeline channel I for laying low-voltage lines, pipeline channel II for laying high-voltage lines, and pipeline channel III for laying water pipes. The wall system also includes a wall adjustment module disposed on the wall structure layer. The wall adjustment module has a pipeline channel IV, through which water and electricity pipelines in the pipeline channel within the pre-reserved trench are laid in the wall system.

[0012] Preferably, the wall adjustment module is a point-type keel, a strip keel, or a baseboard, and the pipeline groove IV is a square pipe installed in the wall adjustment module.

[0013] Preferably, the wall system further includes a wall finish layer disposed on the wall adjustment module.

[0014] Preferably, the wall system further includes a power outlet and / or a low-voltage outlet disposed along the conduit groove IV.

[0015] Preferably, the wall adjustment module has a receiving groove at a corresponding position to accommodate a power socket and / or a low-voltage socket, and a portion of the power socket and / or low-voltage socket is exposed outside the wall finish layer.

[0016] Preferably, the reserved trench is provided with a constraint member for limiting and fixing the pipeline trench.

[0017] Preferably, the ground structure layer includes a filling layer and an adhesive layer arranged sequentially from bottom to top, or a self-leveling layer, a raised floor, and a calcium silicate board layer, or a self-leveling layer, a raised floor, a calcium silicate board layer, an underfloor heating layer, and a wood flooring balancing layer, or a self-leveling layer, an insulation layer, a raised floor, a calcium silicate board layer, and an underfloor heating layer.

[0018] Preferably, the ground system further includes a ground finish layer laid on the ground structure layer.

[0019] Preferably, it also includes a cover plate, which is disposed on the reserved groove.

[0020] Preferably, it also includes a skirting board, which is disposed at the angle between the wall system and the floor system.

[0021] This invention replaces the existing method of pre-reserving / embedding or creating openings in the building structure walls and floors for laying water and electricity pipes. It achieves this by reserving space along the wall structure layer during the laying of the ground construction layer to form pre-reserved trenches, and by setting pipe grooves on the wall adjustment module to accommodate the water and electricity pipes within the wall system. This ensures the integrity and load-bearing strength of the building structure, while also facilitating later maintenance, repair, and renovation. Compared with the prior art, this invention has the following advantages:

[0022] 1) It ensures the integrity and load-bearing strength of the building structure, while facilitating later maintenance, repair, and renovation, and reducing the cost of repair and replacement.

[0023] 2) It can reduce the height of indoor floors and reduce the occurrence of problems such as mold growth and insects gnawing on pipes;

[0024] 3) It can reduce the thickness of interior walls, increase interior space, and reduce the occurrence of problems such as hollowness caused by prefabricated decoration;

[0025] 4) The pipeline layout is neat and undisturbed, making it easy to identify, branch, and maintain;

[0026] 5) It can reduce the cost of interior decoration, especially suitable for mass-produced interior decoration. Attached Figure Description

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] A building pipeline separation system includes a ground system 1 and a wall system 2. The ground system 1 includes a ground construction layer 12, and the wall system 2 includes a wall structure layer 21. The improvement lies in that a reserved groove 5 is provided between the ground construction layer 12 and the wall structure layer 12. The reserved groove 5 is a groove pre-formed during the laying of the ground construction layer 12. Pipeline channels are provided within the reserved groove 5. These pipeline channels are one or more of the following: pipeline channel I51 for laying low-voltage lines, pipeline channel II52 for laying high-voltage lines, and pipeline channel III53 for laying water pipes. The wall system 2 also includes a wall adjustment module 22 disposed on the wall structure layer 2. The wall adjustment module 22 has a pipeline channel IV24, through which water and electricity pipelines in the pipeline channel within the reserved groove 5 are laid in the wall system 2.

[0035] This embodiment replaces the existing method of reserving / embedding or opening holes in the building structure walls and floors to lay water and electricity pipes, thereby ensuring the integrity and load-bearing strength of the building structure, and also facilitating later maintenance, repair and renovation.

[0036] Furthermore, the water and electricity pipes in the pipeline trench within the reserved trench 5 enter the pipeline trench IV24 through the tee component and are laid out in the wall system 2.

[0037] Furthermore, the wall adjustment module 22 is a point-type keel, a strip keel, or a baseboard, and the pipeline groove IV24 is a square pipe installed in the wall adjustment module 22.

[0038] In this embodiment: when the wall adjustment module 22 uses point-type or strip-type keel, it adopts prefabricated decoration, which is suitable for users who accept prefabricated decoration. When users do not accept prefabricated decoration, especially those with small indoor areas and spaces, a baseboard, such as gypsum board, can be used to level and / or adjust the wall system. Since gypsum board is used as the wall adjustment module 22, the thickness of this type of adjustment board is generally 10mm, which reduces the thickness of the wall system 2 during decoration and the occupation of usable indoor space. Moreover, the wall system 2 is a solid wall, without hollowness and will not breed mold.

[0039] Furthermore, the baseboard is gypsum board. In this embodiment, grooves are first cut into the gypsum board, and then the gypsum board is laid on the wall structural layer 21; alternatively, the gypsum board can be laid on the wall structural layer 21 first, and then grooves are cut into the gypsum board; finally, the pipe groove IV24 is installed in the grooves in the gypsum board.

[0040] Furthermore, the pipe groove IV24 is a flat rectangular pipe. In this embodiment, the flat rectangular pipe IV24 is inserted between point-type or strip-type keels, or laid in the grooves of the baseboard. Simultaneously, the outer surface of the flat rectangular pipe IV24 is not higher than the outer surface of the wall adjustment module 22. In this embodiment, a flat rectangular pipe is used instead of the circular pipe in the prior art because the flat rectangular pipe can reduce the thickness requirement of the wall adjustment module while still being sufficient to accommodate the water and electricity pipes laid within it.

[0041] Furthermore, the wall system 2 also includes a wall finish layer 23 disposed on the wall adjustment module 22.

[0042] Furthermore, the wall finish layer 23 is a paint layer, wallpaper, or decorative panel.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the wall finish layer 23 is a paint layer or wallpaper, the wall adjustment module 22 correspondingly selects a baseboard; when the wall finish layer 23 is a decorative panel, the wall adjustment module 22 correspondingly selects a dotted keel or a strip keel. For users who accept and like prefabricated decoration, a decorative panel can be selected as the wall finish layer 23; for users who do not accept prefabricated decoration, a paint layer or wallpaper can be selected as the wall finish layer 23.

[0044] Furthermore, the wall system also includes a power outlet 25 and / or a low-voltage outlet 26 disposed along the conduit groove IV24.

[0045] Furthermore, the wall adjustment module 22 is provided with a receiving groove at a corresponding position to accommodate the power socket 25 and / or the low-voltage socket 26, and a portion of the power socket 25 and / or the low-voltage socket 26 is exposed outside the wall surface layer 23.

[0046] Furthermore, the reserved trench 5 is provided with a constraint member 6 for limiting and fixing the pipeline trench.

[0047] In this embodiment, constraint members 6 are set to limit and fix the water and electricity pipelines laid in the reserved trench and pipeline trench, thereby preventing the water and electricity pipelines from shifting during the laying process.

[0048] Furthermore, the ground structure layer 2 includes, from bottom to top, a filling layer 1202 and an adhesive layer 1201, or a self-leveling layer 1207, a raised floor 1206, and a calcium silicate board layer 1205, or a self-leveling layer 1207, a raised floor 1206, a calcium silicate board layer 1205, a floor heating layer 1204, and a wood flooring balancing layer 1203, or a self-leveling layer 1207, an insulation layer 1208, a raised floor 1206, a calcium silicate board layer 1205, and a floor heating layer 1204.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the user does not need to install underfloor heating, the first and second types of ground structure layer 2 can be selected; when the user needs to install underfloor heating, the third and fourth types of ground structure layer 2 can be selected. When the user does not accept the raised ground, the first type of ground structure layer 2 can be selected; when the user can accept the raised ground, the second, third, and fourth types of ground structure layer 2 can be selected.

[0050] In this embodiment, the heights of the four types of ground structure layer 2 are 80mm, 90mm, 130mm, and 130mm respectively. Using the first type of ground structure layer 2 avoids excessively raising the ground level, and because the ground is a solid structure, it is less prone to mold growth. Similarly, using the second type of ground structure layer 2 also avoids excessively raising the ground level. In this embodiment, the four types of ground structure layer 2, with water and electricity pipelines laid in the pre-reserved trenches 5, greatly reduce the occurrence of insect and ant damage to the pipelines. Even if water and electricity pipelines are damaged, repairs can be carried out only along the pre-reserved trenches 5 along the wall, eliminating the need to inspect and repair the entire ground. This makes repair and replacement more convenient and faster, and avoids damaging the entire ground system, saving costs.

[0051] Furthermore, the insulation layer 1208 is an extruded polystyrene insulation board.

[0052] Furthermore, the calcium silicate plate 1205 can be a single layer or a double layer.

[0053] Furthermore, the underfloor heating layer 1204 is a polystyrene board underfloor heating block or a GRC underfloor heating block.

[0054] Furthermore, the ground system 1 also includes a ground finish layer 11 laid on the ground structure layer 12.

[0055] Furthermore, the floor finish layer 11 is wood flooring or composite ceramic tile.

[0056] Furthermore, it also includes a cover plate 3, which is disposed on the reserved groove 5.

[0057] Furthermore, the upper surface of the cover plate 3 is flush with the upper surface of the ground structure layer 12.

[0058] Furthermore, the cover plate 3 is a calcium silicate plate.

[0059] Furthermore, the cover plate 3 is mounted on the reserved groove 5 via a connector 31. Even further, the connector 31 is an angle steel, with one flange fixedly connected to the wall system 2 and the other flange used for mounting the cover plate 3.

[0060] Furthermore, the cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to the reserved groove 5 and the connector 3 by screws.

[0061] In this embodiment, the cover plate 3 is provided to cover the reserved trench 5 and to provide support for the laying of the ground surface layer 11 above the reserved trench 5.

[0062] Furthermore, it also includes a skirting board 4, which is located at the angle between the wall system 2 and the floor system 1.

[0063] Furthermore, the skirting board 4 is located at the angle between the wall finish layer 23 and the floor finish layer 11.

[0064] In this specific embodiment, the ground structure layer 12 is laid first, and then the wall adjustment module 22 is laid, or vice versa; then the water and electricity pipes are laid in the reserved trench, and the water and electricity pipes of the wall system 2 are laid in the pipe trench IV24; finally, the wall finishing layer 23 and the ground finishing layer 11 are laid.
