Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water-heated mattress technology, and in particular to a water distribution component for connecting a water-heated mattress to a main unit. Background Technology

[0002] In a water-heated mattress system, the water distribution component is a crucial part connecting the main unit to the internal piping of the mattress. Its core function is to distribute and guide the water flow. Traditional connection methods often use simple pipe fittings for direct splicing or simple clamps for fixation. This structure is prone to loosening or even detachment of the joints due to bed displacement or human activity over long-term use. Due to the lack of effective restraint and support for the pipes, changes in water pressure or equipment vibration can cause pipe swaying, generating noise and potentially causing fatigue damage at the connection points, leading to a risk of leakage. Furthermore, traditional water distribution structures often do not consider integrated fixation with the mattress itself, relying mostly on external binding or hanging, which affects aesthetics and poses a risk of tangling.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, an integrated water distribution box structure with slots has emerged. This structure uses a plastic injection-molded shell with several slots inside for embedding pipes. The pipes are secured within the slots by screws when the upper and lower covers are closed. This method limits pipe movement to some extent, preventing them from detaching due to direct pulling. Furthermore, the outer shell of the water distribution box has a flange edge, allowing it to be secured to the edge of the mattress using additional straps or fasteners, thus attaching the entire water distribution box to the side of the mattress and improving upon the previous loose structure.

[0004] However, while this water distribution box structure solves the original problems, it also introduces new technical challenges. Because it relies on external binding for fixation, the bindings only have frictional contact with the mattress and the water distribution box, which can still lead to slippage or even loosening during long-term use, resulting in insufficient reliability of the fixation. More importantly, the upper and lower covers are only secured around the perimeter with screws, concentrating the radial constraint on the internal pipes on the tank wall, lacking a dedicated limiting structure for axial movement of the pipes. Under water flow impact or external vibration, the pipes may still experience slight displacement within the tank, potentially leading to stress concentration at the joints over time. Furthermore, fixing the water distribution box to the mattress and connecting the pipes are two separate steps, making the assembly process cumbersome and difficult to align and tighten. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water distribution component for connecting a water-heated mattress to a main unit. This component solves the problems of insufficient fixation reliability and easy slippage and loosening that exist in existing water distribution box structures that rely on external binding and fixing methods. It also overcomes the problem that the internal pipes lack axial limiting ability due to only relying on the groove wall surface constraint, which may cause the pipes to still have slight displacement and accumulate stress under the impact of water flow. At the same time, it improves the defects of alignment difficulties and cumbersome operation caused by split assembly.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a water distribution component for connecting a water-heated mattress to a main unit, comprising two conduits. The conduits are respectively embedded between a first semi-circular groove and a second semi-circular groove. Limiting plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the conduit embedding connection. The two limiting plates are located on both sides of the first semi-circular groove and the second semi-circular groove, respectively. The first semi-circular groove is symmetrically opened on one side of the length of the first sealing plate. The first sealing plate is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom end of the upper cover in the length direction and on both sides in the width direction. The second semi-circular groove is symmetrically opened on one side of the length of the second sealing plate. The second sealing plate is fixedly installed on one side of the top end of the lower cover in the length direction and on both sides in the width direction.

[0007] Wherein, the width of the first sealing plate is less than the width of the upper cover on both sides, and the bottom end of the upper cover near the first sealing plate and at the inner corner of the first sealing plate are respectively fixedly installed with first connecting blocks.

[0008] Among them, three insert blocks are installed at intervals on the other side of the length direction at the bottom end of the upper cover, and the center of each insert block and the first connecting block is concave.

[0009] The width of the second sealing plate is less than the width of the lower cover on both sides. The top of the lower cover near the second sealing plate and at the inner corner of the second sealing plate are respectively fixedly installed with second connecting blocks.

[0010] Among them, three insert rods are installed at intervals on the other side of the length direction at the top of the lower cover, and the ends of the insert rods and the center of the second connecting block are respectively rounded and convex.

[0011] Wherein, after the first sealing plate and the second sealing plate are attached to each other, the insertion rod is connected to the center of the insertion block and the first connecting block is connected to the second connecting block and fixed by bolts.

[0012] Several connecting rods are fixedly installed between the catheters, and several insertion tubes are fixedly installed at the end of the catheter and on the side of the catheter opposite to the connecting rods.

[0013] This utility model discloses a water distribution component for connecting a water-heated mattress to a main unit. Through the structural design of a first and second sealing plate, it achieves a direct mechanical connection with the mattress, avoiding the slippage risk associated with external binding. Two conduits are respectively accommodated within the complete constraint space formed by the first and second semi-circular grooves. Limiting plates on both sides of the conduits are located on either side of the semi-circular grooves, effectively restricting axial movement of the conduits and solving the problem of pipe displacement due to water flow impact in traditional structures. The upper and lower covers form a closed structure through the adhesion of the first and second sealing plates, stably constraining the conduits. This integrated design ensures reliable pipe fixation and simplifies the assembly process. By replacing external binding with a mechanical connection, this component achieves a secure integration with the mattress. Simultaneously, the combination of the limiting structure and the semi-circular grooves effectively disperses the stress generated by water flow impact, improving the overall structural stability and service life.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 .

[0022] This utility model provides a water distribution assembly for connecting a water-heated mattress to a main unit, comprising two conduits 101 for conveying and distributing water. During assembly, the two conduits 101 are respectively accommodated within the complete arc-shaped space formed by the first semi-arc groove 102 and the second semi-arc groove 103, thereby achieving encapsulation and support of the conduits 101. Limiting plates 104 are fixedly installed on both sides of the section where each conduit 101 is embedded and connected. The limiting plates 104 are located on the two side edges of the first semi-arc groove 102 and the second semi-arc groove 103, respectively, and their function is to restrict the movement of the conduits 101 in the axial direction and improve their positional stability.

[0023] The first semi-circular groove 102 is symmetrically formed on one side of the length direction of the first sealing plate 105. The first sealing plate 105 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom end of the upper cover 106 in the length direction and on both sides in the width direction, and is used to form a constraint structure for the upper half of the conduit 101. The second semi-circular groove 103 is symmetrically formed on one side of the length direction of the second sealing plate 109. The second sealing plate 109 is fixedly installed on one side of the top end of the lower cover 110 in the length direction and on both sides in the width direction, and is used to form a constraint structure for the lower half of the conduit 101.

[0024] The length of the first sealing plate 105 in the width direction is less than the length of the upper cover 106 in the width direction, thus forming an edge region on both sides of the upper cover 106 that protrudes beyond the first sealing plate 105. A first connecting block 107 is fixedly installed in this edge region and at the inner corner of the first sealing plate 105, with a circular concave structure at its center. Three insert blocks 108 are spaced apart on the other side of the bottom of the upper cover 106 in the length direction. The insert blocks 108 also have a circular concave center, used to cooperate with corresponding structures on the lower cover 110 for positioning.

[0025] The length of the second sealing plate 109 in the width direction is less than the length of the lower cover 110 in the width direction, thus forming an edge region on both sides of the lower cover 110 that protrudes beyond the second sealing plate 109. Second connecting blocks 111 are fixedly installed in this edge region and at the inner corner of the second sealing plate 109, respectively. The center of each second connecting block 111 has a rounded convex structure. Three insert rods 112 are spaced apart on the other side of the lower cover 110 in the length direction. The ends of the insert rods 112 are rounded convex and are used to insert into the insert blocks 108 of the upper cover 106 to achieve initial alignment and connection.

[0026] In actual assembly, the first sealing plate 105 and the second sealing plate 109 fit together, so that the first semi-circular groove 102 and the second semi-circular groove 103 together cover the conduit 101. The insert rod 112 is inserted into the central circular recess of the insert block 108, and at the same time, the first connecting block 107 and the second connecting block 111 fit together through their circular concave and convex structures, achieving precise alignment of the upper cover 106 and the lower cover 110. Finally, the upper cover 106 and the lower cover 110 are fixedly connected by bolts, thus making the water distribution assembly a whole.

[0027] Several connecting rods 113 are fixedly installed between the two conduits 101 to maintain their relative positions and enhance the overall structural integrity. Several inserts 114 are fixedly installed at the ends of the conduits 101 and on the side of the conduits 101 opposite to the connecting rods 113. These inserts 114 connect the internal pipes of the mattress to the main unit interface, enabling the distribution of water inlet and outlet. This water distribution assembly, through the aforementioned structure, achieves reliable fixation of the conduits 101, effective water distribution, and stable installation of the overall structure.

[0028] Working principle: The two conduits 101 are respectively accommodated in the complete arc groove space formed by the first semi-arc groove 102 and the second semi-arc groove 103, and are radially limited by the limiting plates 104 on both sides of the connection, preventing the conduits 101 from axially moving or shifting during assembly or use. The first sealing plate 105 is fixed to the bottom of the upper cover 106, and the second sealing plate 109 is fixed to the top of the lower cover 110. When closed, the two are in contact with each other and jointly constrain the main body of the conduits 101.

[0029] The portion of the conduit 101 extending outward to the outside of the first sealing plate 105 and the second sealing plate 109 is used to connect to the water interface of the main unit, realizing the functions of water inlet and water return; while the section of the conduit 101 located in the area enclosed by the upper cover 106 and the lower cover 110 is provided with several inserts 114, which are used to connect to the flexible pipes inside the mattress, thereby realizing the distribution and circulation of water flow between the main unit and the mattress.

[0030] In terms of assembly and fixing, since the dimensions of the first sealing plate 105 and the second sealing plate 109 in the width direction are smaller than those of the upper cover 106 and the lower cover 110, the upper cover 106 and the lower cover 110 form extensions on both sides of the width. These extensions can directly fit against the mattress surface. The insertion rod 112 installed at the top of the lower cover 110 can pass through the reserved hole at the edge of the mattress and be inserted and aligned with the insertion block 108 at the bottom of the upper cover 106. At the same time, the first connecting block 107 and the second connecting block 111 also form a concave-convex fit at the corresponding position. This design not only achieves the initial alignment and pre-fixation of the upper cover 106 and the lower cover 110, but also provides guidance and support for subsequent bolt connection. After the insertion rod 112 and the insertion block 108, and the first connecting block 107 and the second connecting block 111 are respectively connected, they are finally tightened by bolts, so that the entire water distribution assembly is stably installed on the edge of the mattress.

[0031] In this structure, the limiting plate 104 fits tightly with the conduit 101 to prevent it from vibrating or displacing under the action of water flow. At the same time, the first connecting block 107 and the second connecting block 111, which are distributed near the sealing plate on the upper cover 106 and the lower cover 110, further enhance the local constraint of the conduit 101, and jointly improve the overall rigidity and reliability of the component. The connecting rod 113 is set between the two conduits 101 to maintain their relative position and enhance the structural stability. The insert 114 is used to ensure the sealing and firmness of the connection with the mattress pipe. Through the above-mentioned structural cooperation, the water distribution component achieves reliable connection of the water circuit, accurate positioning of components and stable installation of the whole, and has good anti-loosening, anti-vibration and easy assembly technical effects.

[0032] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
