Device For Establishing Branching And / Or Joining Point For Hoses And / Or Pipes, Modular System And Its Uses

Field of application of the invention

The invention relates to a device for establishing branch and / or junction points or points for hoses and / or pipes in one or more systems for transporting and / or distributing media, especially liquid media such as water, for example in water distribution systems, central heating systems, district heating systems and including underfloor heating systems, as specified in the preamble of claim 1, a modular system as specified in the preamble of claim 12, and uses as claimed in claims 13 and 14.

The prior art

For new construction and in some cases also for renovation of existing buildings, wiring must be established for the supply of cold and hot domestic water as well as wiring for inlet and return flow for heating systems such as district heating systems, central heating systems, etc. and including floor heating systems.

This is often done by piping and / or hoses, such as, for example, copper tubes, plastic hoses, including PEX hoses, etc. is conducted from one or more central locations, for example district heating, domestic water, etc. be brought into a house and where a common distribution unit can then be established, to the individual places of consumption, such as taps, fittings, toilets, etc. for domestic water, and radiators, underfloor heating systems, etc. for the heating system.

This work is often done before flooring, so that some of the pipelines involved will be cast into the floor and thereby retained. There is then the problem that before the casting is made, the individual pipelines, hoses, etc. are fixed where necessary, which may be a particular problem at the central location (s) where the pipelines are routed to a common junction or distribution point. Furthermore, it is desirable that pressure testing of the individual subsystems be performed before casting, so that errors can be corrected.

Pipelines and in particular hoses such as PEX hoses belonging to the same system, for example by a heating fluid conveying system, are typically connected to a generally known distribution pipe, to which a supply pipeline can be connected, so that the liquid can be distributed through it. the connected pipelines. Such a manifold, of which there can thus be one or more at a common distribution point, can be fixed, for example, temporarily, for example by bonding or otherwise, until the casting is made.

However, it is desirable that a more secure fixing can be established at such plants.

Furthermore, it is desirable that an installation be established which makes it easier to perform pressure testing of the wiring before the casting is made.

Thus, from Danish utility model specification no. 97 00268 U3, a plate for positioning pipes is known when feeding pipes in a building. This plate may assist in holding the pipelines at a given mutual distance corresponding to the distance between the spouts on the manifold. The document also discloses a support plate for the distributor tubes so that they can be positioned, the carrier plate being positioned relative to said plate.

However, it is an object of the present invention to achieve a fast, secure and fixed installation of distributor pipes for, for example, utility water and heat, including also floor heating, already at the start of the installation of pipelines etc.

Furthermore, it is an object to provide a device which can serve as part of a modular system.

3 DK 2001 00322 U3

It is also an object to provide a device that can be used as a basic module for the installation of pipelines, etc. in heating systems and domestic water supplies, and which can be directly connected to additional units that can be included in such plants.

These and other objects are achieved by the invention, as will be explained in more detail below.

Figure 8 is a photographic representation of an installed basic module according to an embodiment of the invention; 9 is an illustration of a mounting of the device according to the invention by means of a permanent retaining bracket; FIG. 10 is an illustration of an assembly of the device according to the invention by means of a reusable bracket; FIG. 11 is a photographic representation of a module shunt for use in a further embodiment of the invention; FIG. 12 is a photographic representation of a further module unit for use in connection with a further embodiment of the invention; and FIG. 13 is a photographic representation of a basic module connected to a further module unit according to the invention.

Embodiment Examples In FIG. 1, a base plate 1 is shown from one end so that the end wall 2 is seen. This is, as shown, designed with a series of steps at one side so as to form a series of vertical edges 3a - 3d which are offset relative to one another. At each of these vertical edges 3a - 3d, holes 4a are formed, the function of which will be explained later. Furthermore, other holes 4b and 4c are formed in the end wall, the function of which will also be explained later.

In FIG. 2, the base plate 1 is viewed from the front, so that a rear wall 5 extending between the two end walls 2 is seen. It is further seen that a top plate 6 extends above, the shape and function of which will be explained later. As shown in the figure, a series of connecting pipes 7, 8, 9 and 10 are arranged adjacent to the base plate 1. Common to these is that one end thereof extends up through the top plate 6, where they may be attached. A lower end of each of these connecting pipes opens into a horizontal plane adjacent one of the vertical edges 3a - 3d of the end walls 2. The course of the pipes between the two ends may be shaped in different ways, but conveniently there may be a horizontal or substantially horizontal portion extending parallel to the rear wall 5 and / or an end wall 2 over a larger or smaller portion. Further, the connecting pipes 7-10 may be supported by shackles or the like 4d as shown, for example, for the connecting pipes 8 and 10. Such shackles 4d may, for example, be attached to the rear wall 5 or the end wall 2, to which, in FIG. 1 holes 4c can be used for mounting.

9 9GB 2001 00322 U3 In fig. 3, the base plate 1 is viewed from above, and it is thus seen how the length of the top plate 6 corresponds essentially to the length of the base plate rear wall. The width of the top plate 6 is smaller than the greatest extent of the end walls and can, as shown, be L-shaped, so that the width at one end of the base plate is greater than for the rest of the top plate 6.1 the top plate, holes 11 are formed in a number and with a location which may vary depending on the current application.

It will be understood that in FIG. 3, the connecting pipes 7-10 are not shown, but at a location of these connecting pipes as shown in FIG. 2, the upper end of the connecting tube 10 can be passed through the hole 1a and optionally attached thereto to the top plate 6. The same can apply to the connecting tube 9 which can be passed through the hole 1b and attached thereto, for the connecting tube 8 which can be passed through the hole 1 lc and attached thereto as well as for the connecting tube 7 which can be led up through the hole 1 ld and attached thereto.

For use in connection with the invention, a holder 12 may be used which, as shown in FIG. 4 may be formed of a plate-shaped blank having a portion 12a having angularly bent end portions 12b. The holder has such length, that is, the length of the part 12a, that it substantially corresponds to the distance between the end walls 3 of the base plate 1, and the width of the holder substantially corresponds to or is less than the length of the vertical edges 3a - 3d of the end walls 2.

The portion 12a may, as shown in FIG. 5 may be arranged to carry a manifold shown schematically in the figure generally designated 13. The manifold may be of a type known per se and may be attached, for example, to the part 12a by screw connections, fittings, clamp fittings, hangers or the like, as will be well known to those skilled in the art. The distributor tube 13 may have an elongated main body with a plurality of branching pins 14 which, as shown, may extend both upwards and downwards. In some versions, there may only be branching spigots 14 on one side of the main body, e.g. up or down. One or more of the plugs may be connected to a special component, for example the component 15, which may be arranged as a valve for connection to pressure testing, etc. At one end, a valve 16, an aperture plug or the like may be provided. At the other end there may be provided a connecting device for connection to a connecting pipe 9, for example in the form of an angle piece connecting an end opening in the main body with the connecting pipe 9 in a manner known per se.

As shown in FIG. 5, the downward sockets 14 are connected to pipes or hoses 18, for example PEX hoses, copper pipes or the like, by means of schematically shown devices 17. The nature of these devices will depend on the type of pipe or hose connected as it will be well known to a person skilled in the art. For the downstream hoses or pipes, there may be distribution of hot or cold tap water as well as flow or return flow for central heating systems.

In the illustrated version, the upward sockets 14 are not connected to any hose or tubes, but must of course be closed in the use situation. These can then be connected later, for example hoses or pipes for flow or return flow for radiators or the like.

Finally, in FIG. 5 outlined that there may be means 19 at the end pieces 12b of the holder 12, for example screw and nut connections, which can be used to mount a holder 12 on the base plate 1, these means 19 being able to cooperate with the holes 4 shown on FIG. 1. Other types of fasteners may be used, for example other types of releasable or riveted joints, welded joints, etc.

It should be noted that the length of a bracket 12, that is the distance between the end walls 2, is dimensioned such that a bracket can carry a distributor tube 13 with a number of connection pins 14 corresponding, for example, to the number of underfloor heating circuits sufficient for the intended purpose. However, distributor pipes with a smaller length (and thus fewer connection sockets) can be used, if this is sufficient, as can be seen from the following examples. In these cases, extensions can subsequently be mounted on the distributor pipes used if there is a need for this. This is a flexible design with good opportunities for changes and extensions.

It will be appreciated that a holder 12 can be mounted for each "step" 3a - 3d of the end walls 2 so that a number of mounting locations for holders 12 with associated distributor tubes 13 are formed. It will also be understood that the downstream tubes or hose connections at this design will not collide with underlying manifolds, just as upstream tubing or hose connections will not collide with supersized manifolds. Furthermore, it will be possible to work with the individual couplings between mounting studs and hoses unhindered by other couplings and hoses.

It will be understood that the end walls do not necessarily have to be designed as shown, but may be formed with a sloping side or the like, it being essential that the mounting locations of the manifolds are substantially as shown so as to obtain the aforesaid advantages.

In FIG. 6 is a photographic representation of a base plate 1, which is designed as described above with a rear wall 5 and end walls 2 having mounting locations 3a - 3d. Also shown is the location of the connecting pipes 7-10, which may be made of stainless steel. Furthermore, the top plate 6 is seen with the holes 11.

In FIG. 7, which is also a photographic representation, is shown such a base plate 1, which is mounted in the case shown four holders 12 with distributor tubes 13. As shown, these are connected to hoses 18 by means of connections 17. Furthermore, the holding of the holders 12 is seen. by means of screws 19. Furthermore, at one end of the distributor tubes 13 it is seen that the connection to the distributor tubes from connecting tubes is established by means of an angle piece 21 as described above. It is further seen that in this construction according to the invention all couplings and the like will be directly accessible and visible, so that they can be inspected immediately and will be available for mounting, replacement etc. Thus, the risk of defects, leakage, etc. is also avoided. in connection with non-visible links.

12 12DK 2001 00322 U3

The use of the invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 8 is a photographic representation of an installed basic module according to the invention, and FIG. 9 and 10 illustrating various installation modes. It will be understood that a base plate 1 is mounted, for example on a pedestal indicated at 20, before casting floor 22 in a building. As shown in FIG. 9, the base plate can be mounted by screw or bolt connections 29 to the pedestal, these bolts being established, for example, by means of a pair of angular brackets 30 mounted on the base plate 1 so that the lower edge of the base plate will be a suitable piece 31 above the level of floor 22 when cast. For example, the distance 31 may be about 100 - 150 mm. It will be appreciated that the angle brackets 30 can be mounted on the base plate 1 in such a way that the distance 31 can be adjusted.

Once the base plate is mounted and a number of holders with associated distributor tubes 13 are mounted as already described (if this is not done before the base plate is mounted) the necessary wiring can be made. Hoses or pipes for various bottling sites such as toilets, taps, etc. and hoses or pipes for flow and return flow for underfloor heating and / or radiators can be laid and connected to the respective distributor pipes 13. Thus, for example, cold tap water hoses 32, which are normally laid at the bottom and under the insulation layer, can be laid first, drawn up to the respective distributor pipe. and mounted here. Subsequently, as indicated in sequence, the same can be done for hoses 33 for hot tap water, hoses 34 for return flow and hoses 35 for flow for underfloor heating, so that a rational and easy placement and installation of the hoses can be achieved. When these hoses are drawn and mounted, a pressure test of the system can be performed and if the results of these tests are satisfactory and it is found that there are no things to be corrected, the floor 22 can be molded so that pipes and hoses are cast down . Subsequently, a wall or wall 36 can then be mounted on the base 22, on which wall 36 can be mounted, for example, a district heating unit, a gas heating unit or the like 37. Further, a unit or module 38 can be mounted for connection directly to the device in the base plate 1, as will be further described below, which module 38 must also be connected to the unit 37.

13 13DK 2001 00322 U3

The base plate 1 can be mounted by other known fasteners or by means of a flexible bracket which can be removed after the casting, as will be described with reference to FIG. 10. The reusable bracket is here generally designated 39 and comprises lower support points in the form of, for example, angular lug 40 which can be displaced (and held) relative to one another so that the distance between them can be adjusted to the width of, for example, a base 20. For example, two U-rails 41 are mounted, and on the other side, for example, a knee joint connection 42 is mounted so that the knee joint connection 42 and the rails 41 are connected to each other at the top of the bracket at a connecting joint 43. The connecting joint 43 is similar to the connections indicated between the other parts of the bracket of the figure, namely as a connection which permits an angular rotation and which can preferably be locked in a given position. Thus, the two portions of the knee joint connection 42 can be rotated relative to one another as shown by the arrows to position the base plate vertically. Instead of or at the same time, the two parts of the knee joint 42 can be displaced relative to each other. Furthermore, the base plate 1 can be mounted on the U-rails 41 in such a way that the base plate can be moved up and down as shown by the arrows, whereby the distance 31 can be adjusted. The base plate can thus be supported relative to the base or other similar building part during installation by means of this bracket.

When the base plate 1 is mounted by means of this bracket 39 in a given position, the laying and mounting of hoses, etc. proceed as described above in connection with FIG. 9. Once the molding of the floor 22 has been made, the bracket 39 can be removed and reused by a new installation. The base plate 1 with its components will now be supported by the molded hoses 32 - 35, and the walling, etc. of wall 36, setting up, for example, gas heating unit or district heating unit 37 and optionally additional module 38 can be carried out.

After installation of the base plate 1 with its components, connection can be made at any time with further connections, that is, cold water supply, hot water supply, district heating or central heating and return flow of 14 14DK 2001 00322 U3 same upper ends of the connecting pipes 7-10 that protrude through the top plate 6. Further, for example, additional heat connections can be connected to the sockets 14 on, for example, the two lower distributor pipes 13 which are not used, but which are closed with glare plugs.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the number of holes 11 is of such a size that additional conduits, for example for radiator connections, can be made through them.

It should also be noted that by laying and installing the wiring guides as described above, it is convenient to fix the hoses in the arc, as shown in FIG. 9 and 10 will enter the transition between the horizontal and vertical courses up to the manifolds. For this purpose the holes 4b (Fig. 1) can be used, as a round knife or the like (not shown) can be inserted through the holes 4b in the two end walls 2, so that the hoses will be prevented from "straightening out". Therefore, the hoses will thus be held in an appropriate position. This can be done for all rows of connected hoses. After the floor is molded, the hoses will be retained by the casting and the circular blades can be removed if desired.

It will further be understood that additional units may be placed in connection with the described basic module which is constructed by means of the base plate 1. Such additional modules may be placed, for example, in connection with the top plate 6 or similar, so that connection to the connecting pipes 7- 10 can be established immediately. It will be appreciated that such additional modules will include connecting pipes, etc. be positioned in positions and spaced apart, corresponding to the positions and distances determined by holes II, 11a - Fire, so that coupling can be made easily and quickly.

An example of such an additional module is shown in FIG. 11, which shows a photographic representation of a module shunt 25 for central heating systems with outlets before the shunt part for any radiators, 15 if any, so that these can be supplied with the necessary flow temperature.

A further example is shown in the photographic representation of FIG. 12, which shows a module unit 26 for direct district heating with a shunt for underfloor heating and with radiator connection outside the mixing circuit. This unit is mounted on a backplate 27 which, when mounting such a unit on top of the base module already described, can possibly be connected to its base plate 1.

Examples of other additional module units that may be used are: a. Module unit for direct district heating with shunt for floor heating and with radiator connection outside the mixing circuit.

DHW with heat exchanger controlled with thermostat valve.

b. Module unit for direct district heating with mixing circuit (shunt) for underfloor heating and with radiator connection outside the mixing circuit.

Connection for hot water tank with thermostatic control valve.

c. Module unit for indirect district heating with inverter for the underfloor heating circuit, radiator connection on the primary side.

DHW with heat exchanger controlled with thermostat valve.

d. Module unit for indirect district heating with inverter for the underfloor heating circuit, radiator connection on the primary side.

Connection for hot water tank with thermostatic control valve.

e. Module unit for indirect district heating with inverter to the underfloor heating circuit, radiator connection on the primary side.

No drinking water.

Other types can of course be used, if desired.

16 16GB 2001 00322 U3

The connection between a basic module and a further unit is described with reference to FIG. 13, illustrating in photographic representation a base module 28 without base plate and with an additional module 26 located on top. As can be seen, direct connection is established with the upper ends of the connecting pipes 7-10 (as shown, for example, in Fig. 6), and thus with the construction shown, a compact structure is obtained which is also suitable for construction.

In the foregoing, the invention is described with reference to specific embodiments as shown in the figures. It will be understood, however, that the invention may be varied in several ways within the scope of the following claims.

Thus, for example, reference may be made to the fact that in a device according to the invention there may be fewer or more than four holders with distributor tubes 13, for example one, two, three, five, six, etc., and the individual manifolds may be designed with different numbers of mounting studs. for pipes or hoses, for example, depending on the number of yellow v heating circuits.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the nature of pipelines which may be used in connection with the invention may vary, as will be apparent to one skilled in the art. Thus pipes of copper, aluminum and other metals can be used, as well as pipes or hoses of many different plastic materials, including PEX.

Furthermore, connections and connections between pipes, hoses and components can be made in any manner known in the art, for example threaded joints, soldered joints, shrinkable joints, clamped joints, etc.

Furthermore, the holders 12 used may be disposed in other ways than shown and in other configurations. Furthermore, the holders may be configured differently than illustrated.
