[0002] In modern building heating and cooling systems, water is used as a medium to transport water to the heating / cooling system pipes to regulate the temperature inside the house to the set temperature. In order to improve energy efficiency and enhance indoor comfort, the requirements for water distribution devices are becoming increasingly stringent.
[0003] Traditional water distribution devices typically only meet single-function requirements, such as providing only floor heating. They are also structurally complex, inconvenient to operate, and cannot adequately address the heating / cooling needs of both upper (e.g., walls, ceilings) and lower (e.g., floor) systems. This presents significant limitations in practical applications, resulting in poor overall system performance and a subpar user experience. This application addresses these issues with improvements.

[0025] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-7 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0026] Example:
[0027] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this utility model discloses an intelligent multi-source mixing and distributing device, including a distribution box 1, an upper distribution mechanism, and a lower distribution mechanism. The distribution box 1 is equipped with a water supply valve 21 and a return valve 22. The upper and lower distribution mechanisms are respectively connected to the upper and lower sides of the distribution box 1. Each of the upper and lower distribution mechanisms includes a water pump 31, an inlet module assembly 32, and an outlet module assembly 34. The distribution box 1 is equipped with an inlet pipe 33 for connecting to the inlet module assembly 32 and an outlet pipe 35 for connecting to the outlet module assembly 34. The water pump 31 is located on the outlet pipe 35. This intelligent multi-source mixing and distributing device achieves precise control of heating / cooling systems in different areas through the integrated distribution box 1 and the two sets of upper and lower distribution mechanisms. During operation, hot or cold water from outside first enters the distribution box 1 through the water supply valve 21. Depending on actual needs, the water can be distributed to the upper distribution mechanism and / or the lower distribution mechanism. In practical applications, the upper distribution mechanism is used to connect to the heating / cooling system pipes embedded in the walls and ceilings of the building, while the lower distribution mechanism is used to connect to the heating / cooling system pipes embedded in the floor of the building. In each distribution mechanism, water is propelled by the water pump 31, passing through the outlet module assembly 34 into the corresponding pipe of the heating / cooling system. The water then returns to the distribution box 1 through the inlet module assembly 32 and is finally discharged through the return valve 22.
[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown: The distribution box 1 includes a partition 11, which divides the interior of the distribution box 1 into a water supply chamber 12 and a water return chamber 13. The water outlet pipe 35 is connected to the water supply chamber 12, and the water inlet pipe 33 is connected to the water return chamber 13. The water supply valve 21 is connected to the water supply chamber 12. The distribution box 1 is provided with a water return pipe 14 for connecting the water return valve 22 and the water return chamber 13. This structure can effectively simplify the water flow path, improve the water supply efficiency, and prevent the large-scale mixing of water supply and return water from resulting in low water temperature application efficiency. In addition, a water return port 15 is provided through the partition 11 to connect the water supply chamber 12 and the water return chamber 13. When there is too much water in the water supply chamber 12, it can directly enter the water return chamber 13 through the water return port 15 and then be discharged from the water return valve 22.
[0029] Furthermore, a proportional regulating valve 36 is provided on the outlet pipe 35. This proportional regulating valve 36 is located between the water pump 31 and the distribution box 1, while a connecting pipe 37 connected to the proportional regulating valve 36 is provided on the inlet pipe 33. Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the proportional regulating valve 36 specifically includes a three-way valve body 361, an electric actuator 362, and a valve core 363. The three-way valve body 361 is connected to the water pump 31, the distribution box, and the connecting pipe 37. The valve core 363 is rotatably fitted within the three-way valve body 361. The electric actuator 362 controls the rotation of the valve core 363. The proportional regulating valve 36 and the connecting pipe 37 can adjust the proportion of water flowing directly from the inlet pipe 33 into the outlet pipe 35. Originally, all the water entering the inlet pipe 33 from the inlet module assembly 32 would return to the distribution box 1, while all the water in the outlet pipe 35 would be drawn out from the distribution box 1. Now, through the setting of the proportional regulating valve 36 and the connecting pipe 37, the proportion of water flowing from the distribution box 1 into the outlet pipe 35 and the proportion of water flowing directly from the inlet pipe 33 into the outlet pipe 35 can be adjusted, allowing some of the water in the inlet pipe 33 to directly enter the outlet pipe 35 to re-enter the circulation, instead of entering the distribution box 1. Since the water in the inlet pipe 33 is closer to room temperature, this design is beneficial for regulating the temperature of the water in the outlet pipe 35, while preventing energy waste.
[0030] In this utility model, the uppermost side of the water outlet pipe 35 of the upper distribution mechanism is connected to an exhaust valve 4. The exhaust valve 4 can promptly discharge air from the system, preventing air bubbles from affecting the normal operation of the system and improving the stability and reliability of the system.
[0031] In this utility model, the water outlet module assembly 34 of the upper distribution mechanism is connected to a secondary water outlet pipe 51 at the end away from the water outlet pipe 35. A secondary water pump 52 is provided on the secondary water outlet pipe 51. The secondary water outlet pipe 51 is connected to the distribution box 1. A water supply pipe 16 is provided in the distribution box 1 to connect the secondary water outlet pipe 51 and the water supply chamber 12. The water inlet module assembly 32 of the upper distribution mechanism is provided with a secondary water inlet pipe 53 that connects to the return water chamber 13 of the distribution box 1. The design of the secondary water outlet pipe 51 and the secondary water inlet pipe 53 increases the water flow speed of the system. When it is necessary to quickly adjust the temperature or adjust the temperature of multiple areas at the same time, adding the secondary water outlet pipe 51 and the secondary water inlet pipe 53 can speed up the flow rate and speed of the water in the upper distribution mechanism.
[0032] The distribution box 1 is provided with a reserved water outlet 17 connected to the water supply chamber 12 and a reserved water inlet 18 connected to the return water chamber 13. The reserved water outlet 17 and the reserved water inlet 18 can be used to add an additional distribution mechanism or connect an intelligent multi-source mixing distribution device in series. When not in use, they can be blocked. The design of the reserved water outlet 17 and the reserved water inlet 18 takes into account possible future expansion needs, making the system more scalable and convenient for later maintenance and upgrades.
[0033] like Figure 5As shown, both the inlet module assembly 32 and the outlet module assembly 34 include a cover plate 61 and a module frame 62. A water supply cavity 63 is formed through the module frame 62. Hot and cold water pipe connectors 64 are provided on the module frame 62. Multiple module frames 62 are arranged and connected sequentially, with the water supply cavities 63 of each module frame 62 connected. Two cover plates 61 are provided, located on either side of the connected module frames 62, to seal the water supply cavities 63. One cover plate 61 of the outlet module assembly 34 is connected to the outlet pipe 35, allowing water to enter. This structure allows for the addition or reduction of the number of modules according to actual needs, improving the system's adaptability. In terms of adaptability and economy, the cover plate 61 and the module frame 62 are fixedly connected to the water supply cavity 63 by the threaded rod 65 and the nut 66. One side cover plate 61 of the water outlet module assembly 34 of the upper distribution mechanism is connected to the water outlet pipe 35, and the other side cover plate 61 is connected to the auxiliary water outlet pipe 51. The water inlet module assembly 32 and the water outlet module assembly 34 of the lower distribution mechanism both have capillary joints 67 on their hot and cold pipe joints 64. This allows the lower distribution mechanism to control the water flow more precisely. Especially in the ground heating / cooling system, the capillary joint 67 can provide a more uniform water flow distribution and improve the heating or cooling effect of the ground heating / cooling system.
