Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to underfloor heating technology, specifically to an overhead underfloor heating support structure and underfloor heating system. Background Technology

[0002] The traditional underfloor heating system operates as a continuous cycle from heat source preparation to heat release. After the boiler or centralized heating system is started, it heats water to 40-60°C to form high-temperature hot water. The heat medium is then transported through pipes to the manifold. The manifold distributes the hot water evenly into multiple underfloor heating loop pipes buried under the ground according to a preset zone layout. These pipes are densely laid in a "U" or "serpentine" pattern within the concrete filling layer. As the hot water circulates within the pipes, it conducts heat to the surrounding concrete layer through the pipe walls. Once heated, the concrete layer continuously releases heat into the indoor space primarily through long-wave radiation, supplemented by convection. Simultaneously, the floor covering (such as tiles or wood flooring) further assists in heating through contact conduction. The cooled return water is collected by the manifold and returned to the boiler or heat source for reheating, forming a closed loop.

[0003] Traditional heating methods rely on the slow storage and release of heat in the concrete layer, which has the disadvantages of high thermal inertia and slow heating and cooling. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an overhead underfloor heating support structure and underfloor heating system to solve the shortcomings of the traditional heating method in the prior art, which relies on the slow heat storage and release of the concrete layer, resulting in large thermal inertia and slow heating and cooling.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an overhead floor heating support structure, comprising a pressure plate and several support members, wherein the several support members are used to support the pressure plate;

[0006] The support member includes:

[0007] Base;

[0008] The support column is fixedly installed on the top of the base;

[0009] Top mount, which is fixedly installed on the top of the support column;

[0010] The spacer protrusion is fixedly installed on the top of the top seat. The spacer protrusion evenly divides the top of the top seat into multiple positioning areas to limit the displacement of the pressure plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the pressure plate comprises a metal plate with a dotted recessed structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the base is a rectangular or circular flat plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the support column is one of cylindrical, I-shaped, or cross-shaped.

[0014] Furthermore, the spacer protrusion is a strip-shaped protrusion.

[0015] A floor heating system, comprising the aforementioned floor heating support structure, and further comprising:

[0016] Building base;

[0017] The insulation layer is laid on top of the building's base layer;

[0018] The support array layer is composed of multiple sets of evenly distributed support members, which are disposed on the top of the insulation layer, and the bottom of the base is fixedly connected to the top of the insulation layer.

[0019] A pressure plate is laid on top of the support array layer. The pressure plate is supported by the top seat and the spacer protrusion, so that a continuous air circulation cavity is formed between the pressure plate and the insulation layer.

[0020] The decorative surface layer is laid on top of the pressure plate.

[0021] Furthermore, a leveling layer is provided between the bearing plate and the decorative surface layer.

[0022] Furthermore, a flow guide baffle is provided inside the air circulation cavity, which is used to guide the air to circulate within the air circulation cavity.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the above-ground floor heating support structure and floor heating system provided by this utility model uniformly supports the pressure plate through the support members composed of the base, support column, top seat and spacer protrusion, forming a continuous air circulation cavity between the pressure plate and the insulation layer, realizing the transformation from solid heat storage radiation to air convection and radiation synergy.

[0024] The air circulation chamber in this design allows the heat from the heat transfer pipes to efficiently heat the air inside the chamber first. The hot air, guided by the baffles, quickly fills the entire chamber through convection, enabling the pressure plate to be heated rapidly and evenly by air from the bottom and multiple directions. By eliminating the thick and heat-absorbing concrete filling layer, the system's heat load is significantly reduced, and more heat energy is used to directly heat the indoor space, avoiding unnecessary heat accumulation and loss, thereby improving thermal efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] Please see Figures 3 to 5 An overhead underfloor heating support structure includes a pressure plate 4 and several support members, wherein the support members are used to support the pressure plate 4.

[0036] The support components include:

[0037] Base 71;

[0038] Support column 72 is fixedly installed on the top of base 71;

[0039] Top seat 73, which is fixedly installed on the top of support column 72;

[0040] The spacer protrusion 74 is fixedly installed on the top of the top seat 73. The spacer protrusion 74 divides the top of the top seat 73 into multiple positioning areas to limit the displacement of the pressure plate 4.

[0041] The pressure plate 4 and several supporting members work together. The pressure plate 4 is evenly supported by the supporting members to distribute the load. The base 71 of each supporting member provides stable foundation support. The support column 72 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the base 71 by welding to bear vertical force and maintain height. The top seat 73 is fixedly installed at the top of the support column 72 by welding to directly support the bottom of the pressure plate 4. The spacer protrusion 74 is fixedly installed on the top of the top seat 73 by welding or integral molding and evenly divides the top of the top seat 73 into multiple positioning areas. The shape of the spacer protrusion 74 is preferably cross-shaped, and the number of positioning areas is preferably four, thereby effectively limiting the displacement of the pressure plate 4 in the horizontal direction and ensuring that the entire support structure maintains stability and uniform force when subjected to pressure.

[0042] The pressure plate 4 includes a metal plate with a dotted recessed structure.

[0043] The pressure plate 4 is a metal plate with a dotted recessed structure. The dotted recessed structure enhances the rigidity and compressive strength of the plate surface, reduces the risk of deformation of the pressure plate 4 under load, and provides a larger surface area to improve heat conduction efficiency, making the heat more evenly distributed when it is transferred upward from the underfloor heating system. In addition, the dotted recesses also help to increase the friction when in contact with the top seat 73, so that the pressure plate 4 will not move easily during installation, reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0044] The base 71 is a rectangular or circular flat plate.

[0045] The base 71 is a rectangular or circular flat plate structure. Its flat design provides a wide contact area, allowing the support to be firmly placed on the insulation layer 2, preventing the support from sinking or tilting due to load. This ensures the stability and load-bearing capacity of the support array layer 3. At the same time, the rectangular or circular shape adapts to different installation environments, simplifies the construction process, and improves the overall consistency of the structure.

[0046] The support column 72 is one of cylindrical, I-shaped, or cross-shaped.

[0047] The support column 72, being a cylindrical, I-shaped, or cross-shaped structure, provides specific mechanical properties depending on its shape. The cylindrical support column 72 has uniform resistance to compression and bending, the I-shaped support column 72 provides high bending stiffness and efficiency through its cross-sectional shape, and the cross-shaped support column 72 enhances torsional stability and load distribution, ensuring that the support column 72 reliably transmits loads in the vertical direction and prevents deformation, thereby maintaining the height and integrity of the support structure.

[0048] Spacer protrusion 74 is a strip-shaped protrusion.

[0049] The spacer protrusion 74 is a strip-shaped protrusion. Its strip-shaped design evenly divides the top of the top seat 73 into multiple positioning areas. These protrusions effectively restrict the lateral movement of the pressure plate 4 and prevent the pressure plate 4 from sliding or shifting during use.

[0050] Example 2:

[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: a floor heating system, including the aforementioned floor heating support structure, and further including:

[0052] Building base 1;

[0053] Insulation layer 2 is laid on top of building base layer 1;

[0054] The support array layer 3 is composed of multiple sets of evenly distributed support members. The support members are set on the top of the insulation layer 2, and the bottom of the base 71 is fixedly connected to the top of the insulation layer 2.

[0055] The pressure plate 4 is laid on top of the support array layer 3. The pressure plate 4 is supported by the top seat 73 and the spacer protrusion 74, so that a continuous air circulation cavity is formed between the pressure plate 4 and the insulation layer 2.

[0056] Decorative surface layer 6 is laid on top of pressure plate 4.

[0057] Traditional heating methods rely on the slow storage and release of heat in concrete layers, which has the disadvantages of high thermal inertia and slow heating and cooling.

[0058] This scheme utilizes an air circulation chamber to efficiently heat the air within the chamber first, thanks to the heat from the heat medium pipe (not shown). The hot air, guided by the flow guide baffle 8, rapidly fills the entire chamber through convection. This allows the pressure plate 4 to be quickly and evenly heated by air from the bottom and multiple directions. The dotted recessed structure of the pressure plate 4 not only enhances its rigidity and compressive strength but also significantly improves the heat exchange efficiency with the hot air due to its increased surface area. This makes the pressure plate 4 itself a highly efficient and uniform radiative heat dissipation surface, thus significantly accelerating the system response speed and achieving… The system achieves rapid heating; simultaneously, by eliminating the thick and heat-absorbing concrete infill layer, the system's heat load is significantly reduced, allowing more heat energy to be used to directly heat the indoor space, avoiding unnecessary heat accumulation and loss, thereby improving thermal efficiency and reducing energy consumption; in addition, the spacer protrusions 74 of the support effectively limit the horizontal displacement of the bearing plate 4, ensuring the long-term stability of the system, while the dotted recessed structure increases the friction with the top seat 73, further preventing movement during installation and use; the entire system structure is lighter and thinner, reducing the floor load and facilitating maintenance and repair.

[0059] The underfloor heating system is supported by the building base 1. The insulation layer 2 is laid on top of the building base 1 to minimize heat loss. The support array layer 3 is composed of multiple sets of evenly distributed support members. The support members are set on top of the insulation layer 2 and the bottom of the base 71 is fixedly connected to the top of the insulation layer 2 to ensure the firm installation of the support array layer 3. The pressure plate 4 is laid on top of the support array layer 3 and supported by the top seat 73. The pressure plate 4 is limited by the spacer protrusion 74, thereby forming a continuous air circulation cavity between the pressure plate 4 and the insulation layer 2. This cavity allows air to flow to distribute heat evenly. The decorative surface layer 6 is laid on top of the pressure plate 4 as the final surface for use, completing the construction of the entire underfloor heating system.

[0060] A leveling layer 5 is provided between the pressure plate 4 and the decorative surface layer 6.

[0061] When the flat surface formed by the bearing plate 4 is uneven, a leveling layer 5 needs to be laid. The leveling layer 5 is placed between the bearing plate 4 and the decorative surface layer 6 to level the surface of the bearing plate 4, ensuring that the decorative surface layer 6 can be laid smoothly and maintain its appearance. At the same time, the leveling layer 5 fills the minor unevenness that may exist in the bearing plate 4, providing additional cushioning and sound insulation, and enhancing the comfort and service life of the underfloor heating system.

[0062] A flow guide baffle 8 is provided inside the air circulation chamber, which is used to guide the air to circulate within the air circulation chamber.

[0063] The baffle plate 8 is fixedly installed in the air circulation cavity. It guides the air to circulate along a specific path in the cavity, avoiding air stagnation or short circuits. This ensures that heat is evenly transferred from the underfloor heating source to the pressure plate 4 and the decorative surface layer 6, improving thermal efficiency and reducing energy waste. At the same time, the baffle plate 8 optimizes the airflow distribution in the cavity, preventing local overheating or cooling, and improving the overall system performance and user comfort.

[0064] Working principle: In use, an insulation layer 2 is laid on top of the building base 1. Then, multiple sets of support components of the support array layer 3 are evenly distributed and fixed on top of the insulation layer 2. The bottom of the base 71 of each support component is fixedly connected to the top of the insulation layer 2. The support component includes a base 71, a support column 72, a top seat 73, and a spacer protrusion 74. The support column 72 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 71, the top seat 73 is fixedly installed on the top of the support column 72, and the spacer protrusion 74 is fixedly installed on the top of the top seat 73. Next, a pressure plate 4 is laid on top of the support array layer 3, so that the pressure plate 4 is supported by the top seat 73 and the spacer protrusion 74, thereby forming a continuous air circulation cavity between the pressure plate 4 and the insulation layer 2. If the surface of the pressure plate 4 is not flat, a leveling layer 5 is set on top of the pressure plate 4 to flatten the surface. Then, a decorative surface layer 6 is laid on top of the leveling layer 5 or the pressure plate 4. Finally, a flow guide baffle 8 is installed in the air circulation cavity to guide the air circulation flow, completing the construction and operation of the underfloor heating system.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
