Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water manifold accessories, specifically to an anti-condensation rubber and plastic sponge insulation sleeve for a water manifold and a water manifold. Background Technology
[0002] The manifold is a key distribution device in HVAC and water circulation systems. It consists of a distributor (for supplying water) and a collector (for collecting return water), primarily responsible for flow distribution, hydraulic balancing, and system control. In residential underfloor heating systems, to prevent the water temperature inside the manifold from being affected by the outside air temperature, insulation material is usually placed on the main manifold support. Traditional insulation materials, such as glass wool, easily absorb water, leading to condensation failure. Increased water absorption can also negatively impact the insulation effect, thus affecting the water temperature inside the manifold and impacting the user experience.
[0003] In addition, the manifold has a complex structure, and existing insulation materials are difficult to adapt to its complex structure, making it difficult for the manifold and insulation materials to adhere stably, which also affects the insulation effect of the manifold.
[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-condensation rubber and plastic sponge insulation sleeve for a water manifold and a water manifold.
[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0007] In the first aspect, this utility model provides an anti-condensation rubber and plastic sponge insulation sleeve for a water distribution manifold, including a main body and connecting components. The main body has a slit on one side along the axial direction, and connecting components that cooperate with each other are provided on both sides of the slit.
[0008] The main body is also provided with a water guide groove, which is connected to at least one end of the insulation sleeve along the axial direction. After the insulation sleeve is installed, the water guide groove is located at the bottom of the insulation sleeve.
[0009] In optional embodiments, the shape of the water guide channel includes any one of the following: V-shaped, U-shaped, dovetail groove, multi-stage stepped, wavy, or sawtooth.
[0010] In an optional embodiment, the water guide channel is V-shaped, and the included angle of the V-shaped water guide channel is 10 to 20°.
[0011] In an optional embodiment, the main body includes a foamed thermally conductive filler layer and a moisture-proof and oxygen-barrier film layer, with the moisture-proof and oxygen-barrier film layer located on the outside of the foamed thermally conductive filler layer.
[0012] In an optional embodiment, the thickness ratio of the foamed thermally conductive filler layer to the moisture-proof and oxygen-barrier film layer is 15 to 25:1; the thickness of the moisture-proof and oxygen-barrier film layer is 0.1 to 0.3 mm.
[0013] In an alternative implementation, the connecting assembly includes any one of a hook-and-loop fastener assembly, a hook-and-loop fastener assembly, a magnetic fastener strip, a self-adhesive silicone pressure-sensitive tape, and a tongue-and-groove structure.
[0014] In an optional embodiment, the connecting component is a combination of a hook and a hook strap, with the hook and hook and hook strap located on opposite sides of the gap in the body.
[0015] In an optional implementation, the number of connecting components is at least two.
[0016] In an optional embodiment, the main body is also provided with an opening for the branch pipe of the water distribution unit to extend out. The opening is divided into two groups of openings that are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The water guide groove connects multiple lower openings, and the slit on one side of the main body along the axial direction connects multiple upper openings.
[0017] Secondly, this utility model provides a water distribution manifold, including a water distribution manifold body and an insulation sleeve as described in any of the foregoing embodiments; the water distribution manifold body includes a main bar and branch pipes, and the insulation sleeve is fitted onto the main bar.
[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This utility model provides an anti-condensation rubber-plastic sponge insulation sleeve for a water manifold and the water manifold itself. By setting up a connecting component and making a slit along one side of the main body along the axial direction, the insulation sleeve can be quickly installed and adapted to the complex structure of the water manifold. Then, the gap is tightened by the connecting component, achieving a stable and close fit between the insulation sleeve and the water manifold. In addition, by setting up a water guide channel, when condensation occurs on the surface of the water manifold due to temperature difference, the dew can flow into the water guide channel and drain out from the channel, preventing the insulation sleeve material from absorbing water and thus preventing its insulation failure.

[0031] First Embodiment
[0032] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides an anti-condensation rubber and plastic sponge insulation sleeve 100 for a water distribution manifold, including a main body 110 and a connecting component 120. The main body 110 has a slit on one side along the axial direction, and the connecting component 120 is provided on both sides of the slit to cooperate with each other.
[0033] The manifold 200 has a complex structure, and existing insulation materials are difficult to adapt to its complex structure, making it difficult to achieve a stable fit between the manifold 200 and the insulation material. Conventional insulation sleeves 100 are difficult to install and are prone to damage during installation, thus reducing their insulation and moisture-proof performance. By designing the main body 110 of the insulation sleeve 100 with a single-sided axial slit, the insulation sleeve 100 can be fitted onto the surface of the manifold 200 through the slit. The slit is then tightened by the connecting components 120 on both sides of the slit, simultaneously fixing the insulation sleeve 100 to the surface of the manifold 200.
[0034] In an optional embodiment, the connecting assembly 120 includes any one of a hook and loop fastener assembly, a hook and loop fastener assembly, a magnetic fastener strip, a self-adhesive silicone pressure-sensitive tape, and a tongue-and-groove structure.
[0035] In this embodiment, the connecting component 120 is composed of a buckle 121 and a buckle strap 122, with the buckle 121 and buckle strap 122 located on both sides of the gap in the main body. By inserting the buckle strap 122 into the through hole of the buckle 121, and with the limiting structure on the buckle strap 122 limiting the buckle 121, the insulation sleeve 100 is fixed to the surface of the water manifold 200.
[0036] In optional embodiments, the number of connecting components 120 is at least two. For example, in some embodiments, to ensure that the gaps on the insulation sleeve 100 are small enough, the number of connecting components 120 can be as large as possible to ensure the insulation effect of the insulation sleeve 100. For example, a set of connecting components 120 can be designed at each end of the insulation sleeve 100, and another set of connecting components 120 can be designed between the branch pipes 210 of two adjacent manifolds 200. This reduces the installation difficulty of the complex insulation structure while ensuring the insulation and moisture-proof effect.
[0037] Preferably, the distance between two adjacent sets of connecting components 120 is 120 to 180 mm, for example, it can be any value or a range between any two numbers from 120 mm, 130 mm, 140 mm, 150 mm, 160 mm, 170 mm or 180 mm.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a set of connecting components 120 is designed at each end of the insulation sleeve 100, and a set of connecting components 120 is designed at the branch pipes 210 that are spaced apart from two water distribution manifolds 200. The distance between two adjacent sets of connecting components 120 is 150mm.
[0039] Furthermore, a water guide groove 111 is also provided on the main body 110. The water guide groove 111 is connected to both ends of the insulation sleeve 100 in the axial direction, which facilitates water guidance from both sides of the insulation sleeve 100. After the insulation sleeve 100 is installed, the water guide groove 111 is located at the bottom of the insulation sleeve 100.
[0040] To prevent existing insulation materials from failing due to water absorption after condensation, this embodiment provides a water guide channel 111. After the insulation sleeve 100 is installed, the water guide channel 111 is located at the bottom of the insulation sleeve 100. Therefore, the water generated by condensation on the surface of the water distributor 200 can be accumulated in the water guide channel 111 and discharged, preventing the insulation sleeve 100 from absorbing water and thus avoiding its insulation failure.
[0041] In this embodiment, the water guide groove 111 and the gap on the main body 110 of the insulation sleeve 100 are correspondingly set, and their axes are parallel to each other. This not only allows the water guide groove 111 to guide water, but also further reduces the installation difficulty of the insulation sleeve 100, making the insulation sleeve 100 able to open at a larger angle from the single-sided opening, and making it more suitable for the installation of the insulation sleeve 100 with complex structures.
[0042] In an optional embodiment, the shape of the water guide channel 111 includes any one of the following: V-shaped, U-shaped, dovetail groove, multi-stage stepped, wavy, or sawtooth.
[0043] In this embodiment, the water guide channel 111 is V-shaped, and the included angle of the V-shaped water guide channel 111 is 15°.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, in order to further ensure the heat insulation effect of the insulation jacket 100, the main body 110 includes a foamed thermally conductive filler layer 112 and a moisture-proof and oxygen-barrier film layer 113. The moisture-proof and oxygen-barrier film layer 113 is located on the outside of the foamed thermally conductive filler layer 112, and the water channel 111 is formed on the foamed thermally conductive filler layer 112.
[0045] The materials used for the foamed thermally conductive filler layer 112 and the moisture-proof and oxygen-barrier film layer 113 can be commercially available materials. For example, the foamed thermally conductive filler layer 112 can be made of BASF brand materials. H1601 polyurethane foam substrate. The moisture-proof and oxygen-barrier film layer 113 can be made of DuPont material. TM The 1073B polyethylene composite film has a thickness of 0.2 mm.
[0046] In this embodiment, the connecting component 120 can be integrally molded with the foamed thermally conductive filler layer 112 by injection molding. In other embodiments, the connecting component 120 can also be glued to the surface of the main body.
[0047] In this embodiment, the thickness ratio of the foamed thermally conductive filler layer 112 to the moisture-proof and oxygen-barrier film layer 113 is 10:1; the thickness of the moisture-proof and oxygen-barrier film layer 113 is 0.1 to 0.3 mm.
[0048] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the water manifold 200 and the fit between the insulation sleeve 100 and the water manifold 200, the main body is also provided with an opening for the branch pipe 210 of the water manifold 200 to extend out. The opening is divided into two groups of openings, one above the other, which are arranged in a corresponding manner. The water guide groove 111 connects multiple lower openings, and the slit on one side of the main body 110 along the axial direction connects multiple upper openings.
[0049] The insulation jacket 100 provided in this embodiment has a foamed thermally conductive filler layer 112 with a density of 45 kg / m³. 3 It has a thermal conductivity of 0.033 W / m·K, providing some insulation; its water vapor permeability is 5.8 g / (m²). 2 •d)(ASTM E96) has a certain moisture-proof effect.
