[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a geothermal heating manifold for a hot spring geothermal system, comprising a water inlet mechanism, which includes a main water inlet pipe 1, a connector 3, a filter box 4, a water inlet valve 5, a water supply pipe 6, a solenoid valve 10, and a branch water inlet pipe 11. A cover 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the filter box 4. A shelf 22 is fixedly installed inside the filter box 4. A groove is provided on the upper surface of the shelf 22. A square frame 24 is provided inside the groove of the shelf 22. A filter screen 23 is fixedly installed below the square frame 24. The filter screen 23 is shaped like a groove.

Water inlet branch pipes 11 are fixedly installed below solenoid valves 10. Multiple solenoid valves 10 are arranged at intervals and fixedly installed below the main water inlet pipe 1.
[0024] By setting up a filter box 4, the water entering the underfloor heating system is filtered. The filter box 4 is equipped with a shelf 22 and a filter screen 23. The shelf 22 provides a stable support platform, while the filter screen 23 can intercept impurities, particles, and some scale in the water. This not only ensures that the water entering the underfloor heating pipes is clean and free of impurities, but also effectively reduces the problems of pipe blockage and poor water flow caused by the accumulation of impurities and scale. Furthermore, the cover 21 fixedly installed on the top of the filter box 4 makes it easy to open the filter box 4 and take out the filter screen 23 for regular cleaning and replacement. At the same time, by equipping multiple solenoid valves 10 and water inlet branch pipes 11, the water supply can be adjusted to meet personalized heating needs.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 Below the inlet mechanism is a return mechanism. Both the inlet and return mechanisms are used in the underfloor heating system of the geothermal system. The return mechanism includes a return main pipe 2, a connector 2 12, a connecting pipe 13, a return valve 14, an output pipe 15, a manual water valve 18, and a return branch pipe 19. The connector 2 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the return main pipe 2, the connecting pipe 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the connector 2 12, the return valve 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting pipe 13, and the output pipe 15 is fixedly installed below the return valve 14. There are multiple manual water valves 18 and multiple return branch pipes 19, and the number of manual water valves 18 and return branch pipes 19 is the same. The return branch pipes 19 are fixedly installed below the manual water valves 18. Multiple manual water valves 18 are arranged at intervals and fixedly installed below the return main pipe 2. The number of return branch pipes 19 is the same as the number of inlet branch pipes 11.
[0026] The inclusion of inlet and return water mechanisms facilitates the circulating heating function of the hot spring floor heating system. The availability of multiple manual water valves 18 and return water branch pipes 19 allows for adjustment of the return water volume according to demand, thereby achieving personalized heating needs and increasing practicality.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4A connecting frame 20 is symmetrically arranged on both sides between the inlet main pipe 1 and the return main pipe 2. The connecting frame 20 includes a first fixing sleeve 2001, a second fixing sleeve 2002, a first upright plate 2003, a second upright plate 2004, a fixing bolt 2005, and a fixing nut 2006. The first fixing sleeve 2001 is fixedly installed on the outside of the inlet main pipe 1, the first upright plate 2003 is fixedly installed below the first fixing sleeve 2001, and the second fixing sleeve 2002 is fixedly installed on the outside of the return main pipe 2. On the side, the second upright plate 2004 is fixedly installed above the second fixed sleeve plate 2002. The second upright plate 2004 is located on one side of the first upright plate 2003. Both the first upright plate 2003 and the second upright plate 2004 have elongated slots inside. The fixing bolt 2005 is located on one side of the first upright plate 2003, and the threaded end of the fixing bolt 2005 passes through the elongated slot to penetrate the first upright plate 2003 and the second upright plate 2004. The fixing nut 2006 is threaded onto the outside of the threaded end of the fixing bolt 2005.
[0028] The connecting bracket 20 provides stable support and connection for the inlet main pipe 1 and the return main pipe 2. The coordinated action of components such as fixing sleeve 1 2001, fixing sleeve 2 2002, upright plate 1 2003, and upright plate 2 2004, as well as the use of long slots, fixing bolts 2005, and fixing nuts 2006, allows the connecting bracket 20 to be adjusted, thereby changing the distance between the inlet main pipe 1 and the return main pipe 2. This improves the flexibility of use and helps to meet the needs of different installation scenarios.
[0029] Please see Figure 4 Mounting plate 26 is fixedly installed at the rear end of fixing sleeve 1 2001, and mounting plate 27 is fixedly installed at the rear end of fixing sleeve 2 2002. Mounting plate 26 and mounting plate 27 are both provided with mounting slots inside.
[0030] The installation of mounting plate 1 (26) and mounting plate 2 (27) allows the underfloor heating manifold to be easily installed on the wall or other fixed structure, improving its practicality.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 A temperature sensor 9 is fixedly installed above the main water inlet pipe 1.

A side pipe 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the main water inlet pipe 1, and an automatic air vent valve 8 is fixedly installed above the side pipe 7.
[0032] The temperature sensor 9 enables the monitoring of the water temperature in the main water inlet pipe 1, which is beneficial for the temperature regulation of the underfloor heating system. At the same time, the side pipe 7 and the automatic air vent valve 8 effectively prevent the accumulation of gas in the underfloor heating system and improve the heating effect.
[0033] Please see Figure 1A side pipe 16 is fixedly installed at one end of the return water main pipe 2, and a manual air vent valve 17 is fixedly installed above the side pipe 16.
[0034] The manual air vent valve 17 allows the air in the return water main pipe 2 to be manually released, improving the heating effect and safety of the system.
[0035] Working principle: When in use, the underfloor heating manifold introduces hot spring water through the water inlet mechanism. The water supply pipe 6 receives the water source, and the water flows through the water inlet valve 5 into the filter box 4. The filter screen 23 intercepts impurities, particles, and some scale in the water. Then, the water flows through the main water inlet pipe 1 into the water inlet branch pipes 11 controlled by multiple solenoid valves 10, and is then distributed to the various heating areas of the underfloor heating system. At the same time, the return water mechanism collects the water after circulation in the underfloor heating system through the return water branch pipe 19 and the manual water valve 18. The water then flows through the return water main pipe 2, connector 2 12, connecting pipe 13, and return water valve 14, and then flows back through the output pipe 15 to achieve circulating heating.
