Description

Title of the invention: Distribution plate device for a domestic hot water tank Technical field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a distribution plate device for a domestic hot water tank. It applies, in particular, in the field of energy. Prior art

[0002] Nowadays, energies are used in our daily lives for various reasons. They are divided into two categories: renewable and non-renewable.

[0003] Humans are looking for multiple energy solutions to heat their homes and to live long-term. They need innovative devices or systems that allow them to use energy.

[0004] This is the case of a BEC or hot water tank, it is a device that stores domestic hot water (DHW) for domestic needs, generally inside a building. It is generally composed of the following elements. A tank which is the reservoir that contains the water. It is generally made of enameled steel or stainless steel. A resistance which is a heating element that heats the water. It is generally made of copper or stainless steel. A thermostat that allows you to adjust the water temperature. It cuts off the power to the resistance when the water reaches the desired temperature. A vent that allows you to evacuate the air that forms in the tank. A pressure regulator that regulates the water pressure. The operation of a hot water tank is simple. Cold water enters the tank from the bottom and is heated by the resistance. The hot water is then stored in the tank until it is used. When hot water is drawn, cold water replaces it..

[0005] However, installing a hot water tank has some drawbacks.

[0006] Installing the connecting pipes may require construction work, such as drilling into walls.

[0007] When building a house or a building, the installation of the different parts is done by professionals who need a certain amount of time to connect the hot water tank to the different parts such as the radiators and the water rooms. Presentation of the invention

[0008] The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks with a completely innovative approach.

[0009] More specifically, the invention aims to provide a distribution plate device for a hot water tank.

[0010] In particular, an objective of the invention is to provide such a technique allowing to free itself from any other complex adjustment system.

[0011] An objective of the invention is to provide such a device, which can be easily adapted to existing systems.

[0012] These objectives, as well as others which will appear subsequently, are achieved, according to a first aspect, using a distribution plate device for a domestic hot water tank, said device comprising a first cold water inlet, a second hot water inlet, remarkable in that it comprises; - a first cold water inlet circuit extending between the first cold water inlet and a connection cross comprising four connections, said first circuit comprising a cold water inlet valve; - a second circuit extending between the connection cross and a cold water collector connected to one of the four connections of the connection cross, said cold water collector comprising a plurality of cold water outlets; - a third hot water circuit extending between the second hot water inlet and a hot water collector, said hot water collector comprising a plurality of hot water outlets; the third circuit comprises a mixer having three connections: the second hot water inlet, the hot water collector and one of the four circuits of the connection cross; - a fourth circuit extending between one of the connections of the connection cross and a safety device configured to be connected to a hot water tank; - a support plate supporting the first cold water inlet circuit, the second circuit, the third hot water circuit and the fourth circuit.

[0013] Thanks to these provisions, the distribution board device for a hot water tank has four separate circuits. This device allows for quick installation adapted to specific needs, thus contributing to operational efficiency while being aesthetically pleasing.

[0014] The deck is pre-assembled, which simplifies and speeds up installation. Fast installation helps reduce labor costs. Fast installation can improve customer satisfaction by reducing installation inconvenience.

[0015] The distribution plate allows the collectors to be grouped on a single support, which frees up space compared to a conventional installation.

[0016] The invention is advantageously implemented according to the embodiments and variants set out below, which are to be considered individually or according to any technically effective combination.

[0017] In one embodiment, said first circuit further comprises a pressure reduction device.

[0018] Thanks to these provisions, the pressure reducer makes it possible to limit the pressure coming out of the cold water inlet valve into the first cold water inlet circuit.

[0019] In one embodiment, the safety device comprises a siphon.

[0020] In one embodiment, said support plate is a sheet metal plate. Brief description of the figures

[0021] Other advantages, aims and characteristics of the present invention emerge from the following description given, for explanatory and in no way limiting purposes, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:

[0022] [Fig. 1] shows a diagram of a distribution board device for a hot water tank. Description of the embodiments

[0023] [Fig. 1] shows a diagram of a distribution board device for a hot water tank.

[0024] In this figure a first cold water inlet EE and a second hot water inlet EC are visible.

[0025] A first cold water inlet circuit extending between the first cold water inlet EE and a connection cross 22. The connection cross 22 comprising four connections. The first circuit comprising a cold water inlet valve.

[0026] A second circuit extending between the connection cross and a cold water collector 21 connected to one of the four connections of the connection cross 22. The cold water collector 21 comprising a plurality of cold water outlets V.

[0027] According to an exemplary embodiment, the cold water collector 21 has five outlets. According to another example, the cold water collector 21 has eight outlets.

[0028] A third hot water circuit extending between the second hot water inlet EC and a hot water collector 20. The hot water collector 20 comprises a plurality of hot water outlets.

[0029] According to an exemplary embodiment, the hot water collector 20 has five outlets. According to another example, the hot water collector 20 has eight outlets.

[0030] The third circuit comprises a mixer M having three connections: the second hot water inlet, the hot water collector 20 and one of the four circuits of the connection cross 22.

[0031] A mixer tap is a device used in plumbing systems to regulate water temperature. Unlike conventional faucets, a mixer tap is equipped with a thermostatic cartridge that helps maintain a constant water temperature, even when the hot or cold water temperature fluctuates.

[0032] A fourth circuit extending between one of the connections of the connection cross and a safety device DS configured to be connected to a hot water tank.

[0033] A support plate P supporting the first cold water inlet circuit, the second circuit, the third hot water circuit and the fourth circuit.

[0034] According to one example, the support plate P is made of sheet metal.
