Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of underfloor heating equipment, and in particular to an extruded polystyrene board underfloor heating module with U-shaped pipe clamps. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, underfloor heating pipes are commonly installed by manually pressing them with U-shaped clips or by using a clip gun. This method has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Low construction efficiency: The underfloor heating pipes need to be laid first and then clamped one by one. The on-site operation is cumbersome and it is difficult to plan the pipe route in advance, which affects the construction accuracy and efficiency.

[0004] 2. Insulation effect is easily damaged: Traditional plastic U-shaped clips are difficult to manually press and fix in high-density, high-compression extruded polystyrene boards (because they need to bear the ground load, they need high compressive strength and density to avoid long-term compression leading to insulation failure, and high-density extruded polystyrene boards themselves have better insulation performance). Using a clip gun can easily puncture the extruded polystyrene board, forming a "thermal bridge", which leads to heat loss and reduces the insulation effect.

[0005] 3. Affects heat dissipation after fixing: The clips tightly fit the pipe to the extruded polystyrene board, affecting the heat dissipation efficiency of the water pipe. Furthermore, long-term use may cause the pipe to dent in the extruded polystyrene board due to compression, further reducing the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an underfloor heating pipe installation structure that can solve the above defects. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing an extruded polystyrene board underfloor heating module with a U-shaped pipe clamp, which can effectively simplify the laying process of underfloor heating pipes, achieve rapid installation, and thus improve construction efficiency. Moreover, thanks to its excellent design structure, it significantly improves the heat insulation and heat dissipation performance of the underfloor heating pipes.

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution. This utility model is an extruded polystyrene board underfloor heating module with U-shaped pipe clamps, including several bottom support plates for laying on the ground. Several U-shaped pipe clamps for fixing underfloor heating pipes are installed on each bottom support plate. At least two rows of U-shaped pipe clamps are arranged, and each row of U-shaped pipe clamps cooperates to form a laying channel for the underfloor heating pipes. A laying gap is left between two adjacent rows of U-shaped pipe clamps. The U-shaped pipe clamp includes a clamping part, a supporting part, and a self-tapping part arranged in sequence. The clamping part is provided with a U-shaped groove for cooperating with the underfloor heating pipe. The self-tapping part is conical and has threads on its outer surface.

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be further achieved through the following technical solution: for the extruded polystyrene board floor heating module with U-shaped pipe clamps mentioned above, the self-tapping part is a self-tapping screw structure.

[0010] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be further achieved through the following technical solution: for the extruded polystyrene board floor heating module with U-shaped pipe clamps mentioned above, the U-shaped pipe clamps are integrally formed structures.

[0016] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be further achieved through the following technical solution: for the extruded polystyrene board floor heating module with U-shaped pipe clamps mentioned above, the bottom support plate and the filling plate are both extruded polystyrene boards.

[0017] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be further achieved through the following technical solution: For the extruded board floor heating module with U-shaped pipe clamps mentioned above, the bottom support plate and the filling plate are both rectangular in shape.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. Convenient and efficient construction: The U-shaped pipe clamp of this utility model is fixed to the extruded polystyrene board in advance with screw feet. On-site, only the module needs to be laid to directly coil the underfloor heating pipes.

[0020] 2. Protect the integrity of the extruded polystyrene board: The screw length of the U-shaped pipe clamp of this utility model is less than the thickness of the extruded polystyrene board. When tightening and fixing, it will not penetrate the board, avoid thermal bridging, and retain the thermal insulation and load-bearing performance of the high-compression extruded polystyrene board, solving the problem that traditional clips cannot be adapted to high-density boards.

[0021] 3.

At the same time, the underfloor heating pipe is fixed by a U-shaped pipe clamp, which enhances the stability of the fixation and prevents the pipe from shifting.

[0022] 4. Adaptable to dry construction: After filling the gaps between the underfloor heating pipes installed by this utility model with extruded polystyrene board, backfilling can be eliminated, simplifying the process, reducing the ground load, and expanding the application scenarios of the module.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 A new type of extruded polystyrene (XPS) board underfloor heating module with U-shaped pipe clamps addresses the problems of low installation efficiency, easy damage to the integrity of the XPS board, and poor heat dissipation associated with traditional nail installations by optimizing the pipe clamp fixing method and structure. It is compatible with high-compression XPS boards, improving the overall performance of the underfloor heating system. Specifically:

[0029] This module includes several bottom support plates 1 for laying on the ground, providing basic support for the entire underfloor heating module. In the actual installation process, the appropriate number and size of bottom support plates 1 can be flexibly selected and spliced ​​according to the actual area and layout of the ground to ensure that the ground is completely covered.

[0030] Preferably, the bottom support plate 1 is made of extruded polystyrene (XPS) board. XPS board has excellent thermal insulation properties, effectively reducing heat loss to the ground, improving the thermal efficiency of the underfloor heating system, and reducing energy consumption. Simultaneously, XPS board also has good compressive strength, able to withstand certain pressure without deformation, ensuring the stability of the underfloor heating module during long-term use. More preferably, the bottom support plate 1 is made of graphite XPS board. Due to the infrared reflection mechanism of graphite, the thermal insulation performance is further improved, reducing the need for aluminum foil reflective film 4. Furthermore, the bottom support plate 1 is generally rectangular, a regular shape that facilitates production and installation. The rectangular structure allows the bottom support plate 1 to fit tightly during splicing, reducing gaps, improving the flatness of the ground, and creating favorable conditions for the subsequent laying of underfloor heating pipes and the installation of the infill board 3.

[0031] Each bottom support plate 1 is equipped with several U-shaped pipe clamps 2 for fixing the underfloor heating pipes. There are at least two rows of U-shaped pipe clamps 2, and the specific number can be set to 3-5 rows according to actual needs. Each row of U-shaped pipe clamps 2 has 6-18 clamps. Each row of U-shaped pipe clamps 2 works together to form a laying channel for the underfloor heating pipes. A laying gap is left between two adjacent rows of U-shaped pipe clamps 2. The reasonable number of rows and quantities can ensure that the underfloor heating pipes are evenly and stably fixed during the laying process, avoiding loosening or displacement of the underfloor heating pipes. The laying gap facilitates the subsequent backfilling of cement mortar.

[0032] Preferably, the U-shaped pipe clamp 2 includes a clamping part 21, a supporting part 22, and a self-tapping part 23 arranged sequentially. The clamping part 21 is provided with a U-shaped groove 24 for engaging with the underfloor heating pipe. The shape and size of the U-shaped groove 24 are adapted to the outer diameter of the underfloor heating pipe, enabling it to firmly clamp the pipe and prevent it from shaking or falling off during operation. The supporting part 22 is located between the clamping part 21 and the self-tapping part 23, serving as a connection and support. It can withstand the weight of the underfloor heating pipe and various stresses generated during use, ensuring the overall stability of the U-shaped pipe clamp 2. Furthermore, the design of the supporting part 22 allows for… The underfloor heating pipes are positioned too high to ensure a certain distance between them and the bottom support plate 1 after installation, forming a heat dissipation gap to ensure even heat distribution and 360° heat dissipation for excellent heat dissipation performance. The self-tapping part 23 is conical and has threads on its outer surface. This design allows the U-shaped pipe clamp 2 to be easily screwed into the bottom support plate 1 during installation without the need for additional drilling or fixing tools, greatly improving installation efficiency. Preferably, the self-tapping part 23 is a self-tapping screw structure, which further enhances its fixing effect and ensures a firm and reliable connection between the U-shaped pipe clamp 2 and the bottom support plate 1.

[0033] In actual use, the U-shaped pipe clamp 2 is made of plastic material, such as PP, PE, PS, ABS, PA or PVC, which has the advantages of light weight, low cost and good insulation performance. At the same time, the U-shaped pipe clamp 2 is an integral molded structure, which is formed in one piece through injection molding and other processes, ensuring that the connection between each part is tight, the structure is stable, and it is not easy to loosen or be damaged.

[0034] An aluminum foil reflective film 4 is also laid on the bottom support plate 1 to enhance the efficiency of heat reflection upwards, which helps to improve heating performance.

[0035] Filler plates 3 are installed on the bottom support plate 1 between the laying gaps and between the U-shaped pipe clamp 2 and the edge of the bottom support plate 1. The filler plates 3 can fill the laying gaps between the underfloor heating pipes to reduce cement mortar backfilling, or even eliminate backfilling, making the ground flatter. At the same time, they can also play a certain role in heat preservation and sound insulation. They can further enhance the overall sealing of the underfloor heating module, prevent heat loss from the edges, and can also form a dry underfloor heating module that does not require backfilling, reducing construction steps and floor thickness. Note that the filler plate 3 should be thicker, at least higher than the height of the installed underfloor heating pipes, to protect the underfloor heating pipes.

[0036] Preferably, the filler plate 3 is bolted to the bottom support plate 1, which is simple, reliable, and easy to install and disassemble. During installation, simply place the filler plate 3 in the appropriate position and then fix the filler plate 3 to the bottom support plate 1 with bolts. If it is necessary to replace or repair the underfloor heating module, simply unscrew the bolts to easily remove the filler plate 3. The filler plate 3 is an extruded polystyrene board, which is consistent with the bottom support plate 1 to ensure that the insulation performance of the entire underfloor heating module is uniform. At the same time, the filler plate 3 is rectangular in shape, which matches the shape of the bottom support plate 1, making it easy to splice and install.

[0037] The method of using this application is as follows:

[0038] 1. Based on the floor area and design requirements, prepare a sufficient number of extruded polystyrene (XPS) floor heating modules with U-shaped pipe clamps, including bottom support plate 1, U-shaped pipe clamps (which can be pre-installed on bottom support plate 1) and filling plate 3. At the same time, prepare an appropriate amount of floor heating pipes to ensure that their length and specifications meet the design requirements. In addition, bolts for connecting filling plate 3 and bottom support plate 1, as well as matching nuts, washers, etc., are also required.

[0039] 2. Based on the ground dimensions and design requirements, plan the laying scheme of the bottom support plate 1, determine the installation position and splicing method of each bottom support plate 1, minimize splicing gaps, and seal the joints of adjacent support plates with tape to improve the overall integrity and thermal insulation performance of the ground.

[0040] 3. Lay the underfloor heating pipes on the U-shaped pipe clamps of the bottom support plate 1 according to the predetermined route and spacing, and insert the underfloor heating pipes into the U-shaped grooves of the U-shaped pipe clamps to ensure that the underfloor heating pipes fit tightly with the grooves and will not loosen.

[0041] 4. Based on the laying gap and the space between the U-shaped pipe clamp and the edge of the bottom support plate 1, use scissors or a knife to cut the filler plate 3 to match its size with the installation space.

[0042] Place the cut filler plate 3 in the corresponding installation position, and then use bolts to fix the filler plate 3 to the bottom support plate 1 to ensure that the filler plate 3 is installed firmly and there are no gaps between it and the bottom support plate 1, thereby improving the overall sealing and heat insulation performance of the ground.
