Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dry underfloor heating module connection technology, specifically to a quick-connect snap-fit ​​for dry underfloor heating modules. Background Technology

[0002] Dry underfloor heating is a thin type of underfloor heating that uses prefabricated grooved insulation modules laid dry without the need for cement backfilling. It uses a metal heat exchange layer as a floor radiator, allowing a low-temperature heat medium to evenly heat the floor and supply heat to the room through radiation and convection, achieving a relatively fast and comfortable heating effect.

[0003] In actual construction, dry electric heating systems often place the floor heating modules side by side, lay the pipes inside, and then lay tiles or wood flooring on top of the floor heating modules. However, in actual use, no connection device is installed between the two floor heating modules, which leads to loosening during subsequent use, causing the pipes to move and rub against each other, resulting in pipe damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art by providing a quick-connect snap-fit ​​for dry underfloor heating modules.

[0005] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] The quick-connect buckle for dry underfloor heating modules includes a buckle mechanism for connecting four dry underfloor heating modules. Each of the four dry underfloor heating modules has a receiving groove on one side that is close to each other, and the buckle mechanism is located inside the receiving groove.

[0007] The latching mechanism includes a mounting base plate, the mounting base plate having four storage slots inside, and connecting rods being inserted into the storage slots.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting groove is provided inside the dry floor heating module and on one side of the receiving groove, and a second receiving cavity is provided inside the dry floor heating module, the second receiving cavity extending into the interior of the connecting groove.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first receiving groove is provided on the top of the mounting base plate and above the receiving groove, and a connecting bolt is inserted inside the first receiving groove.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the connecting rod has two connecting cavities, and the interior of the connecting cavities is threaded.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting groove is formed inside the mounting base plate and on both sides of the storage groove. A limiting block is slidably connected inside the limiting groove, and one side of the limiting block is fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the head diameter of the connecting bolt is larger than the opening width of the first receiving groove, and the shank of the connecting bolt is adapted to the thread inside the connecting cavity. By rotating the connecting bolt, the connecting rod can extend and retract within the receiving groove. The adaptation between the connecting bolt and the thread inside the connecting cavity allows for precise control of the extension and retraction length of the connecting rod. This helps ensure that each connecting rod is inserted into the connecting groove to a consistent depth, avoiding problems such as uneven splicing and uneven gaps in the dry underfloor heating modules caused by different insertion depths, thereby guaranteeing the installation quality of the entire underfloor heating system.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sealing rubber ring is provided inside the second receiving cavity. When the connecting rod is inserted into the connecting groove, the sealing rubber ring can fit tightly against the outer wall of the connecting rod to prevent dust, moisture and other substances from entering the dry floor heating module.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fitting gap between the limiting block and the limiting groove is between 0.05-0.1mm, which not only ensures that the connecting rod slides smoothly in the receiving groove, but also effectively restricts the movement direction of the connecting rod to prevent it from deviating or shaking.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The quick-connect buckle for dry underfloor heating modules provided by this utility model has a recessed groove for accommodating the buckle mechanism, allowing it to be embedded inside the dry underfloor heating module during installation, thus facilitating the subsequent installation of tiles and wood flooring. A storage slot accommodates the connecting rod, which in turn secures the dry underfloor heating module adjacent to the mounting base. The mounting base connects the four surrounding dry underfloor heating modules, preventing loosening and avoiding friction damage. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Example

[0028] The quick-connect clips for the dry underfloor heating module provided in this embodiment, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes four dry underfloor heating modules 1. Each of the four dry underfloor heating modules 1 has a receiving groove 3 on one side that is close to each other. The receiving groove 3 is provided with a snap-fit ​​mechanism 2. The receiving groove 3 is used to accommodate the snap-fit ​​mechanism 2, so that the snap-fit ​​mechanism 2 can be embedded in the dry underfloor heating module 1 during installation and use, which facilitates the subsequent installation of tiles and wood flooring.

[0029] The latching mechanism 2 includes a mounting base plate 201. The mounting base plate 201 has four storage slots 205 inside. A connecting rod 204 is inserted into the storage slots 205. The storage slots 205 are used to accommodate the connecting rod 204. The connecting rod 204 is used to fix the dry underfloor heating module 1 adjacent to the mounting base plate 201. Under the action of the mounting base plate 201, the four dry underfloor heating modules 1 around it are connected.

[0030] A connecting groove 208 is provided inside the dry underfloor heating module 1 and on one side of the receiving groove 3. A second receiving cavity 207 is provided inside the dry underfloor heating module 1. The second receiving cavity 207 extends into the inside of the connecting groove 208. The second receiving cavity 207 is provided to accommodate the fixing bolt, thereby allowing the connecting rod 204 to be inserted into the inside of the connecting groove 208 and connected to the dry underfloor heating module 1, increasing the overall stability.

[0031] A first receiving groove 203 is provided on the top of the mounting base plate 201 and above the receiving groove 205. A connecting bolt 202 is inserted inside the first receiving groove 203. The first receiving groove 203 is used to receive the connecting bolt 202. The connecting bolt 202 is used to fix the connecting rod 204 relative to the mounting base plate 201, thereby increasing the stability of the mounting base plate 201 and the connecting rod 204 and thus achieving subsequent stable fixing of the dry floor heating module 1.

[0032] The top of the connecting rod 204 has two connecting cavities 210, and the inside of the connecting cavity 210 is threaded. The connecting cavity 210 is used to connect the connecting rod 204 with the connecting bolt 202 and the fixing bolt.

[0033] Limiting grooves 206 are provided inside the mounting base plate 201 and on both sides of the storage groove 205. Limiting blocks 209 are slidably connected inside the limiting grooves 206. One side of the limiting block 209 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 204. The limiting grooves 206 and the limiting blocks 209 are used to limit the connecting rod 204 relative to the mounting base plate 201, so as to prevent the connecting rod 204 from falling off and being lost when not in use, thus affecting subsequent use.

[0034] The head diameter of the connecting bolt 202 is larger than the opening width of the first receiving groove 203, and the shank of the connecting bolt 202 is adapted to the thread inside the connecting cavity 210. By rotating the connecting bolt 202, the connecting rod 204 can extend and retract within the receiving groove 205. The adaptation between the connecting bolt 202 and the thread inside the connecting cavity 210 allows for precise control of the extension and retraction length of the connecting rod 204. This helps ensure that each connecting rod 204 is inserted into the connecting groove 208 to a consistent depth, avoiding problems such as uneven splicing and uneven gaps in the dry underfloor heating modules 1 caused by different insertion depths, thereby ensuring the installation quality of the entire underfloor heating system.

[0035] The second receiving cavity 207 is equipped with a sealing rubber ring. When the connecting rod 204 is inserted into the connecting groove 208, the sealing rubber ring can fit tightly against the outer wall of the connecting rod 204 to prevent dust, moisture and other substances from entering the dry floor heating module 1.

[0036] The fit gap between the limiting block 209 and the limiting groove 206 is between 0.05-0.1mm, which ensures that the connecting rod 204 slides smoothly in the receiving groove 205 and effectively restricts the movement direction of the connecting rod 204 to prevent it from deviating or shaking.

[0037] In use, the corner of the dry underfloor heating module 1 to be laid is compressed inward or cut off, so that the inside of the dry underfloor heating module 1 forms a receiving groove 3. After the two dry underfloor heating modules 1 are laid, the connecting bolts 202 are unscrewed so that the connecting rod 204 is released from the restraint and extends out from the inside of the receiving groove 205. Then, the connecting rod 204 is fixed relative to the mounting base plate 201 by the connecting bolts 202. After fixing, the connecting rod 204 is inserted into the connecting groove 208 inside the two dry underfloor heating modules 1 that have been laid. The fixing bolts are inserted into the second receiving cavity 207 and extend into the connecting cavity 210 to fix the dry underfloor heating module 1 and the connecting rod 204. Since the connecting rod 204 is fixed to the mounting base plate 201 by the connecting bolts 202, the dry underfloor heating module 1 and the mounting base plate 201 are fixed. The following two dry underfloor heating modules 1 are placed on the other two sides of the mounting base plate 201 and fixed according to the above method.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
