Box for draining water from radiators

Abstract

Box for splash-free and drip-free emptying of radiators, characterized in that it is arranged in front of and behind a valve block and completely encloses this as well as the associated flow and return pipes, suction fittings and compression fittings.

Description

Brief description:

[0001] The present utility model relates to a box consisting of two parts. Its design and placement at the level of the valve block around the inlet and outlet pipes enable splash-free and drip-free drainage of the radiator.

[0002] According to the invention, the box is further developed by a different sealing shape and closure option, which improves the tightness of the box. Product description:

[0003] The box is designed for splash-free and drip-free drainage of radiator water. It consists of two halves, positioned in front of and behind the valve block, thus enclosing the valve block, suction fittings, and compression fittings. Two seals, each placed opposite each other in a recess on one side of the box, ensure a watertight seal around the flow and return pipes. Each seal is a single piece and is located on the left and right sides of each half of the box, as well as on the bottom, where it forms two semicircles in the area of ​​the flow and return pipes. When the two seals are placed together, they form two circles on the bottom.

[0004] The front half of the box has a conical opening that allows the connection of various sizes of wet / dry vacuums. The recess above it allows access to the vacuum fitting. Additionally, there are locking mechanisms on the sides. The underside has inward-facing latches.

[0005] The rear half of the box has corresponding slots on the sides for the tension lock. Additionally, there are matching pins on the underside for the latches of the front half of the box; these pins, when slid into each other, hold the box together on the bottom. Innovation and uniqueness:

[0006] The utility model refers to the existing utility model DE 20 2024 001 125 U1, which discloses a box for draining heating systems. However, this box exhibited disadvantages in terms of assembly and sealing, as it used only two clamping fasteners to connect the two halves. Furthermore, it described only one seal, which was positioned solely at the level of the flow and return pipes.

[0007] The object of the invention is to provide a closure mechanism of the aforementioned type which completely closes the box. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the latches with the corresponding pins attached to the bottom in conjunction with the tension locks, which together ensure a uniform contact pressure on both halves.

[0008] A further object of the invention is the provision of new seals that reliably prevent water leakage. According to the invention, a total of two seals, one on each side, are provided in a recess of the box, covering the lower and side areas of the box and thus preventing water from escaping. Furthermore, the opening of the front half of the box is conically shaped to allow for the connection of wet vacuums of different sizes. Advantages and applications:

[0009] The current state of the art is represented by utility model DE 20 2024 001 125 U1, in which the components are held together only by two clamping fasteners.

[0010] The single seal described there is located only at the level of the supply and return pipes and therefore does not guarantee a watertight seal for the box. The described opening on the front half of the box does not allow for the connection of different sizes of wet vacuum cleaners.

[0011] The innovative modifications described here greatly improve the assembly and sealing, thus ensuring the box functions correctly. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION

Claims

[1] Box for splash-free and drip-free emptying of radiators, characterized by that it is positioned in front of and behind a valve block and completely encloses it as well as the associated supply and return pipes, suction fittings and compression fittings. [2] Box according to claim 1, characterized by , that each half has a circumferential seal which is arranged in a recess of the respective half and seals the side and bottom areas of the box. [3] Box according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the seal consists of one piece and has two semicircular recesses in the lower area which, when the two halves are joined together, form two circular passages for the supply and return pipes. [4] Box according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by, that the two halves can be connected to each other by means of tension locks on the sides and corresponding latches and pins on the underside, thereby achieving an even contact pressure and a completely closed seal. [5] Box according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by , that the front half has a cone-shaped opening which allows the connection of wet vacuum cleaners of different sizes. [6] Box according to claim 5, characterized by , that a recess is arranged above the cone-shaped opening, which allows work to be carried out on the suction screw connection. [7] Box according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the seals are made of an elastic, chemical-resistant material that ensures a permanent seal against heating water. [8] Box according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by, that the latches and pins on the underside of the box interlock by sliding them in, securing the halves in addition to the tension locks. [9] Box according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the two halves are made of a dimensionally stable, heat-resistant plastic. [10] Box according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized by that it can be positioned at the level of the tap block and allows for splash- and drip-free emptying of the radiator.
