Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) piping technology, specifically to an adjustable temperature underfloor heating manifold assembly. Background Technology

[0002] A water distributor is a device that divides a single input water path into multiple output water paths. Its input and output ports can be located on the same side or on separate sides, depending on the requirements.

[0003] In existing underfloor heating manifolds, the slower water flow at corners can easily create eddies, resulting in unfavorable hydrodynamic conditions in the area that prevent corrosion and scale buildup. The accumulation of corrosion and scale will gradually clog the outlets, affecting the normal heating performance of the underfloor heating system. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable temperature underfloor heating manifold component to solve the technical problem that the accumulation of rust and scale will gradually clog the water outlet and affect the normal heating effect of the underfloor heating system.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable temperature underfloor heating manifold assembly, including a manifold pipe, an installation groove is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the manifold pipe, a plastic baffle is provided inside the installation groove, a plurality of water inlets are provided on the plastic baffle, a convex ring is fixedly connected around the water inlets, and a first filter ring is fixedly connected to the top of the convex ring.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, by opening an installation groove at the bottom of the inner wall of the water distribution pipe and placing a plastic baffle therein, the flow state of water at the corner of the water distribution pipe is effectively changed, the formation of eddies is reduced, and thus the corrosion and scale accumulation at the corner are slowed down.

[0007] Furthermore, a connecting rod is provided inside the water distribution pipe, and a second filter ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting rod inside the water distribution pipe and the second filter ring at its bottom constitute an adjustable filtration system. When it is necessary to adjust the water output or enhance the filtration effect, this can be achieved by moving the connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, a thermal actuator is threadedly connected to the top of the water distribution pipe, which is used to control the movement of the connecting rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the thermal actuator with a threaded connection at the top of the water distribution pipe provides a power source for the movement of the connecting rod. By receiving external control signals, the thermal actuator can accurately control the up and down movement of the connecting rod, thereby achieving flexible adjustment of the water output and filtration effect.

[0011] Furthermore, an extension tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the plastic baffle, and a groove is formed at the relative position of the extension tube.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the plastic baffle further extends the flow path of water in the water distribution pipe, making the water flow more stable and reducing the scouring and corrosion of the water distribution pipe wall by the water flow.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the water distribution pipe is connected to several water outlet pipes, which are arranged linearly and evenly.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the several outlet pipes connected to the bottom of the distribution pipe are arranged in a linear and uniform manner, ensuring that the heating effect of each area of ​​the underfloor heating system is uniform and consistent.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the second filter ring is matched with the outer diameter of the first filter ring.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner diameter of the second filter ring is matched with the outer diameter of the first filter ring, so that when the second filter ring is inserted into the first filter ring, a tight filter layer can be formed, which effectively reduces the mesh size and enhances the filtration effect.

[0017] Furthermore, an air vent valve is provided on one side of the water distribution pipe, which is used to vent air outward.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the air vent valve installed on one side of the water distribution pipe provides an effective air venting channel for the underfloor heating system. During the heating process, if gas is generated inside the water distribution pipe, it can be discharged in time through the air vent valve, avoiding the impact and interference of gas on the water flow.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0020] 1. This utility model, by incorporating a plastic baffle, water inlet, convex ring, extension pipe, and pipe groove, specifically addresses the problem of scale buildup and corrosion caused by slow water flow at the corners of the distribution pipe. The plastic baffle covers the corner, altering the water flow direction and reducing eddy currents, thus effectively slowing down corrosion and scale accumulation at the corners and ensuring unobstructed water flow. The water inlet ensures smooth water passage, while the convex ring acts as an effective barrier; its higher position intercepts and reduces the direct entry of sediment and impurities into the outlet pipe, improving the flow rate of water entering the underfloor heating system. The extension pipe reduces the risk of system blockage or damage caused by the accumulation of impurities. The extension pipe further extends the flow path of water in the distribution pipe, making the water flow more stable. At the same time, it reduces the scouring and corrosion of the distribution pipe wall by the water flow, and improves the service life of the distribution pipe. The opening of the pipe groove provides more space for water flow, reduces water flow resistance, improves the heating efficiency of the underfloor heating system, and also facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the distribution pipe. It also alleviates the problem that the accumulation of rust and scale after long-term use will gradually block the outlet and affect the normal heating effect of the underfloor heating system.

[0021] 2. This utility model, by incorporating a plastic baffle, a convex ring, a first filter ring, and a second filter ring, effectively alters the water flow pattern within the distribution pipe. Particularly at corners, the baffle's blocking and guiding effect reduces eddy currents, thus slowing down scale accumulation and corrosion, ensuring unobstructed water flow at the outlet, and providing a fundamental guarantee for the stable operation of the underfloor heating system. The convex ring, as a crucial component of the plastic baffle, effectively intercepts sediment and impurities due to its higher position. As water flows through, the convex ring blocks some larger impurities, reducing their direct entry into the outlet pipe. This improves the probability of water entering the underfloor heating system and reduces malfunctions caused by impurities. The combined use of the first and second filter rings forms an adjustable filtration system. The first filter ring is fixed to the top of the convex ring as a preliminary filtration layer, while the second filter ring is connected to the thermal actuator via a connecting rod. Its position can be adjusted as needed to control the water output and enhance the filtration effect. When the second filter ring is inserted into the first filter ring, the staggered arrangement between the two further reduces the mesh size, improves the filtration accuracy, and effectively prevents silt and fine impurities from entering the outlet pipe.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] An adjustable temperature underfloor heating manifold assembly, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a water distribution pipe 1. The bottom of the inner wall of the water distribution pipe 1 is provided with an installation groove 7. A plastic baffle 2 is installed inside the installation groove 7. Several water inlets 201 are provided on the plastic baffle 2. A convex ring 202 is fixedly connected around the water inlets 201. A first filter ring 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the convex ring 202. The several water inlets 201 on the plastic baffle 2, the convex ring 202 around it, and the first filter ring 203 together constitute a preliminary filtration system, which can intercept and filter out some of the mud and impurities in the water flow, thereby improving the water quality entering the underfloor heating system.

[0031] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The water distribution pipe 1 is equipped with a connecting rod 204. The bottom end of the connecting rod 204 is fixedly connected to a second filter ring 205. The presence of the second filter ring 205 means that the water flows through the pipe and is filtered again, which further improves the purity of the water and reduces the impact of sediment and impurities on the underfloor heating system.

[0032] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The top of the water pipe 1 is threaded with a thermal actuator 3, which is used to control the movement of the connecting rod 204. The threaded connection makes the installation and disassembly of the thermal actuator 3 more convenient, which is beneficial for the maintenance and repair of the underfloor heating water manifold assembly.

[0033] See Figure 2 , Figure 3, Figure 4 An extension pipe 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the plastic baffle 2. A pipe groove 4 is opened at the relative position of the extension pipe 206. The pipe groove 4 opened at the relative position of the extension pipe 206 provides more space for water flow, reduces water flow resistance, and improves the heating efficiency of the underfloor heating system.

[0034] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The bottom of the water distribution pipe 1 is connected to several water outlet pipes 5, which are arranged linearly and evenly. This arrangement makes the structure of the underfloor heating manifold assembly more compact and reasonable, and easier to install and arrange in the underfloor heating system.

[0035] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The inner diameter of the second filter ring 205 is matched with the outer diameter of the first filter ring 203. This matching relationship also enables the second filter ring 205 to remain stable during movement without shaking or shifting, thus improving the stability and reliability of the underfloor heating manifold assembly.

[0036] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the plastic baffle 2 is installed inside the water distribution pipe 1. At this time, the plastic baffle 2 and the extension pipe 206 cover the water outlet of the water distribution pipe 1. The connecting rod 204 and the second filter ring 205 are in the initial position. At this time, the water flow rate is relatively large. Because the second filter ring 205 does not form a tight filter layer with the first filter ring 203, hot water flows in from the inlet of the water distribution pipe 1. After being guided by the plastic baffle 2, the convex ring 202 intercepts some of the mud and sand when the water flows through, thus initially purifying the water quality. In addition, the water flow is dispersed and the direct impact on the corner is reduced, which reduces the risk of rust and scale, thereby preventing blockage caused by excessive rust.

[0037] The plastic baffle 2 is equipped with a water inlet 201, a convex ring 202, and a first filter ring 203. These components together constitute a preliminary filtration and buffering system. When hot water passes through the water inlet 201 and the convex ring 202, the convex ring 202 intercepts some sediment and impurities, initially purifying the water quality. Then, the hot water flows through the first filter ring 203, further filtering out fine impurities. When it is necessary to adjust the temperature or water flow of the underfloor heating system, the thermal actuator 3 receives a control signal and starts working. The thermal actuator 3 pushes the connecting rod 204 downward through an internal mechanism. The connecting rod 204 drives the second filter ring 205 downward, gradually inserting it into the first filter ring 203. As the second filter ring 205 is inserted, the cross-sectional area of ​​the water outlet channel decreases, thereby controlling the water flow. At the same time, the staggered arrangement of the two filter rings forms a denser filter layer, further reducing the mesh size and enhancing the filtration effect. As the usage time increases, impurities may accumulate on the filter ring. At this time, the underfloor heating system can be turned off, and the second filter ring 205 can be disassembled or lifted for cleaning and maintenance.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] See Figure 4 An air vent valve 6 is installed on one side of the water distribution pipe 1. The air vent valve 6 is used to release air outwards. The presence of the air vent valve 6 also improves the safety and stability of the underfloor heating system and reduces the risk of system failure or damage caused by gas accumulation.

[0040] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, during the heating process, if gas is generated inside the water distribution pipe 1, it can be vented to the outside through the exhaust valve 6 to ensure stable operation of the system.

[0041] All parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.
