Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water distributor technology, and in particular to an anti-clogging device for an indoor water distributor. Background Technology

[0002] A manifold is a device for distributing and collecting water flow. In a water system, it's used to connect the supply and return water to various heating pipes. Manifolds are classified as either inlet or outlet pipes. Therefore, they are called manifolds or distribution manifolds, commonly known as distributors. As a core component of an underfloor heating system, the manifold is responsible for the rational distribution and efficient circulation of hot water in the room, making it the "heart" of the system. However, if a manifold is not maintained for a long time, its operating efficiency will gradually decline, and it may even face the risk of blockage.

[0003] In existing technology, the main pipe of the indoor manifold for underfloor heating has smaller branch pipes below it, typically DN20. Each branch loop has a valve to control its own loop. Both ends of the indoor manifold have plugs for connecting pipes or for maintenance, and an automatic air vent valve is located at the top. However, due to particulate matter and impurities in the water, the manifold is prone to clogging. The main reason is that the water contains many impurities such as sand, soil, and plant debris; these tiny particles accumulate in the manifold and gradually cause blockages.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, those skilled in the art urgently need to develop an anti-clogging device for indoor water distributors. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-clogging device for indoor water distributors in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0010] Furthermore, the filter cavity has a flat cylindrical cavity structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the first branch pipe extends into the interior of the filter chamber along the tangential direction of the filter chamber.

The connecting post is fixedly connected between the support frame and the inner wall of the filter chamber.

[0016] Furthermore, the support frame is arranged in an arc shape to match the circular inner wall of the filter cavity.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-2 An indoor manifold anti-clogging device includes a main manifold line 1 and multiple first branch lines 2 installed on the main manifold line 1. Each first branch line 2 is equipped with a first valve 3. This is the conventional manifold structure in the current technology. The first valve 3 is used to close the flow of the first branch line 2 at any time for maintenance. The main manifold line 1 also has an air vent valve for releasing air. A filter chamber 4 is installed at the end of the first branch line 2. A second branch line 5 is installed at the bottom of the filter chamber 4. Heating water reaches the first branch line 2 through the main manifold line 1, first enters the filter chamber 4, is filtered, and then enters the second branch line 5. The second branch line 5 is then connected to the water pipe for heating.

[0030] The filter chamber 4 is equipped with a filter mechanism to filter the heating water entering the filter chamber 4 from the first branch pipe 2. That is, the heating water entering the filter chamber 4 is filtered by the filter mechanism and then enters the second branch pipe 5.

[0031] A solid matter collection chamber 6 is provided on the outside of the filter chamber 4 to collect the solid matter filtered out by the filter mechanism. The solid matter collection chamber 6 is connected to the filter chamber 4. The filtered solid matter enters the solid matter collection chamber 6 and settles under the interception of the filter mechanism. It is cleaned regularly to avoid excessive accumulation of solid matter in the water distributor and cause blockage.

[0032] Furthermore, the filter chamber 4 has a flat cylindrical cavity structure.

[0033] Furthermore, the first branch pipe 2 enters the interior of the filter chamber 4 along the tangential direction of the filter chamber 4.

[0034] Specifically, the filter chamber 4 with its flat cylindrical cavity structure has a circumferential surface structure. Combined with the first branch pipe 2, which enters the filter chamber 4 along the tangential direction, the water flows along the inner cavity of the circumferential surface of the filter chamber 4, forming a vortex flow. During the flow, the water is filtered by the filtration mechanism and then enters the second branch pipe 5.

[0035] Furthermore, the filtration mechanism includes:

[0036] Opening 7 is located on the circumferential surface of filter chamber 4;

[0037] A support frame 8 has a filter screen 9 installed inside it. One end of the support frame 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter chamber 4, while the other end has a gap between itself and the inner wall of the filter chamber 4 to allow water to pass through. The support frame 8 covers the opening 7, allowing water to enter at one end and flow to the other end where it is blocked, passing only through the filter screen 9. Therefore, the two sides of the support frame 8 can be connected to the two opposing inner walls of the filter chamber 4. The support frame 8 supports the filter screen 9, stabilizing the filtration structure and preventing deformation under high-pressure water flow.

[0038] A connecting column 10 is provided on the support frame 8 at the end opposite to the end that is connected to the inner wall of the filter chamber 4 to support the gap between the support frame 8 and the inner wall of the filter chamber 4. The connecting column 10 is fixedly connected between the support frame 8 and the inner wall of the filter chamber 4.

[0039] Specifically, under the support of the connecting column 10, one end of the support frame 8 is kept at a distance from the inner wall of the filter chamber 4, so that when the water flows on the inner wall of the circumferential surface of the filter chamber 4, it enters the space between the support frame 8, the filter screen 9 and the opening 7, and as it continues to flow, the water passes through the filter screen 9, and the solids flow down. The water that continues to flow finally enters the second branch pipe 5.

[0040] Furthermore, the support frame 8 is arranged in an arc shape to match the circular inner wall of the filter chamber 4, so as not to excessively affect the flow of water.

[0041] Furthermore, the upper end of the solid matter collection cavity 6 is connected to the opening 7, and the lower end extends downward to below the opening 7. The solid matter filtered out by the filtration mechanism enters the solid matter collection cavity 6 through the opening 7 and gradually deposits at the bottom of the solid matter collection cavity 6.

[0042] Furthermore, a drain outlet 11 and a sealing cap 12 for sealing the drain outlet 11 are provided at the bottom of the solid matter collection cavity 6. Every once in a while, the solid deposits at the bottom of the solid matter collection cavity 6 are discharged from the drain outlet 11 by opening the sealing cap 12.

[0043] Furthermore, a second valve 13 is installed on the second branch pipe 5.

[0044] During this process, to allow solid sediment to drain from the drain outlet 11 at the bottom of the solid sediment collection chamber 6, both the first valve 3 and the second valve 13 must be closed to prevent a large amount of water from spraying out. During the venting of the pipeline, air can be released through the vent valve on the main water distributor 1, or by opening the sealing cover 12 to vent from the drain outlet 11. This ensures that the filter chamber 4 remains full of water during normal use.

[0045] Furthermore, the second branch pipe 5 is connected to the water pipe for heating.

[0046] In summary, this device has a filter chamber installed on the branch of the water inlet pipe on the indoor water distributor, and a filter mechanism is installed in the filter chamber to filter the heating water entering the filter chamber from the first branch pipe. At the same time, a solids collection chamber is set up to collect the filtered solids for regular cleaning, so as to prevent a large amount of particulate matter and other solids from accumulating in the water distributor and causing blockage.

[0047] The above description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
