[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of manifolds, in particular to an energy-saving adjustable manifold. Background Art
[0002] As one of the main components of the floor heating, there are mainly four types of manifolds: bare rod type manifold, ball valve type manifold, globe valve type manifold and flow type manifold. Among them, the bare rod type manifold has no flow regulation and shut-off function inside; the ball valve type manifold has a shut-off function for individual pipelines, but no regulation function; the globe valve type manifold is internally provided with a globe valve in the cavity of the manifold, which can realize the flow distribution of branches with different loop lengths; the flow type manifold enables designers to accurately adjust each loop heating system.
[0003] From the above, it can be seen that the current manifolds have achieved flow regulation. The thermostat is mainly used to set the room temperature and switch time to meet the needs of people and achieve the purpose of energy saving. However, with the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for flexible adjustment of room temperature comfort has gradually increased. For example, the existing floor heating manifolds can achieve certain flow regulation and conventional temperature setting, but the temperature adjustment when the room is unoccupied for a long time or after people enter and leave the room cannot be realized, and there is a lack of further improvement in energy saving. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, the present application provides an energy-saving adjustable manifold. An infrared detection module is integrated on the detection end - the thermostat to monitor the presence of people in the room. On the manifold, the conversion from monitoring to execution is realized through a shunt component - an acting device - the thermostat, so that the flow can be adjusted immediately when the room is unoccupied to reduce energy consumption.

Two groups of flow regulating plates are covered on the flow splitting ports, and each flow regulating plate is movably covered at the opening of the corresponding flow splitting port. Both sides of the flow regulating plate are connected to the acting device.
