Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water manifold technology, specifically relating to a main pipe structure of a spliced ​​anti-condensation water manifold based on a double-layer cavity. Background Technology

[0002] A manifold is a device used in underfloor heating systems to collect, distribute, regulate, and control the supply and return water. It can manually or automatically remove air trapped in the water. The manifold is a device used to connect the main supply and return water pipes of the heating system. It consists of two parts: a manifold and a collector. The manifold connects to the main supply pipe in the water system and distributes hot water to the various heating branch lines. The collector collects the return water from each branch line and returns it to the heating system.

[0003] Existing manifold main pipe structures are mostly directly exposed to the outside air. When the manifold main pipe structure transports underfloor heating water, the exposed manifold main pipe structure will result in poor heat insulation and condensation problems, affecting the normal use of the manifold main pipe structure. To address this, we propose a spliced ​​anti-condensation manifold main pipe structure based on a double-layer cavity. Utility Model Content

[0008] A sealed cavity is formed between the main pipe assembly of the modular water distributor and the outer shell assembly, and the sealed cavity is filled with expanding foam.

[0009] Preferably, the main body assembly of the spliced ​​manifold includes a front end body of the manifold, a middle body of the manifold, and a rear end body of the manifold.

This realizes the assembly and installation of the modular housing assembly and can be adjusted and assembled according to the structure of the main pipe assembly of the modular water manifold, improving the ease of assembly.

[0026] 4. The main body of the water manifold is equipped with a protruding post for sealing connection of the flow meter or valve core. This eliminates the need for the existing lower part of the water manifold, and the finished product of one water manifold can be completed in one assembly, reducing a large number of production steps and saving production costs.
