Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a fastening unit for a hot water mat device,

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a fastening unit which tightens the male and female engagement of fastening members using a clip member in a hot water mat device.

Generally, a hot water mat is used in a period having a large absolute value in the difference between the inside temperature and the outside temperature of the house including the winter iron, or in a situation having a large absolute value in the difference between the temperature of the floor of the house and the temperature of the user's body ≪ / RTI > In this case, the hot water mat is used to artificially warm the user's body through the flow of hot water to the inside, thereby allowing the user to smoothly live outside the house.

The hot water mat communicates with the boiler through a hose fastening assembly. The hose fastening assembly receives hot water from the boiler and transfers hot water to the hot water mat. In this case, the hose fastening assembly realizes detachment of the male and female fastening members by using the vertical movement of the clip member between the male and female fastening members connected to the boiler and the hot water mat. The hose fastening assembly is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,052,725.

However, the upward and downward movement of the clip member 26 of the U.S. patent is due to the reaction forces directed to different directions of the tab portion 50 and the elastic biasing member 74 that disperses the force acting on the user of the lace fastening mechanism . Therefore, the user of the lace fastening mechanism must apply to the tab portion 50 more acting force than necessary corresponding to the reaction force of the elastic biasing member 74 when the male and female fastening members 22, 24 are detached.

The user of the lake fastening mechanism intentionally exerts a large amount of force on the clip member 26 due to the desorption experience of the male and female fastening members 22 and 24. The resilient biasing member 74 may have a high degree of friction against the surrounding components and may lose the initial shape. Through this, the elastic biasing member 74 shortens the service life of the hose fastening mechanism by the action force of the user through repetitive detachment of the male and female fastening members 22, 24.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a method of detaching a component of a hot water mat device according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

1 to 3, a boiler 10, a fastening unit 100, and a hot water mat 110 may be prepared to configure the hot water mat device 120. The boiler 10 may be connected to the first fastening portion 13 of the first fastening member 20 of the fastening unit 100. The second fastening member 70 of the fastening unit 100 can be connected to the hot water mat 100 through the second fastening part 65.

The sealing position adjusting portion 17 of the first fastening member 20 is engaged with the second fastening member 70 to connect the first fastening member 20 and the second fastening member 70 of the fastening unit 100, Through the coupling induction portion 49 of the first tube 39 and into the tube 33 of the first diameter in the second tube 39. More specifically, the sealing position adjusting unit 17 passes through the centers of the two rings 41 and 43 of the coupling guide portion 49 in the second fastening member 100, Diameter tube (33).

The stoppers 15 of the first fastening member 20 come into contact with the two rings 41 and 43 of the coupling induction portion 49 so as to come into contact with the tube 33 of the first diameter in the second tube 39 I can not go in. In this case, the coupling induction portion 49 exposes the first tube 11 between the stoppers 15 and the sealing position adjustment portion 17 in the first fastening member 20 through the guide holes 48 to the outside .

Subsequently, the clip member 90 of the fastening unit 100 can be positioned on the second fastening member 70. [ The push tab 86 of the clip member 90 and the push button 88 may be seated in the seating dam 54 of the second fastening member 70. The hook 82 of the clip member 90 can also be seated in the first seating guide 45 on the upper side between the two rings 41, 43 of the second fastening member 70.

The fastening unit can transmit a user's acting force to the hook 82 by receiving the action force of the user through the push tab 86 and the push button 88. In this case, while the pushing force of the user is applied to the push-button 86 and the push-button 88, while the push-button 88 is pushed down from the upper side of the seating dam 54, Relative to the pressure of the push button 88 can be directly transmitted to the push button 88 as compared to the prior art (US Patent No. 5052725), while moving along the bottom surface of the seating dam 54 have.

The prior art resilient biasing member 74 is spaced apart from the tab portion 50 so that the dispersion of the tab portion 50 is maintained, And produces a repulsive force against the dispersed pressure smaller than the push tab 86 of the present invention.

Therefore, the repulsive force of the push-button 86 and the pressure of the push-button 88 are superimposed superimposed interferingly, so that the user applies a minimum acting force to the push-button 88, The hook 82 can be aligned between the two rings 41, 43 of the coupling guide portion 49 by narrowing the width of the hook 82 on the hook portion 82. [ When the user's acting force is removed from the push button 88, the push tab 86 and the push button 88 are moved on the upper side of the seat dam 54.

Subsequently, the hook 82 extends toward the centers of the two rings 41, 43 along the sliding surfaces 47 between the two rings 41, 43 in the coupling guide portion 49, The engaging pieces 84 of the hook 82 can be inserted into the guide holes 48 between the two rings 41 and 43 in the coupling guide portion 49 to come in contact with the circumference of the first tube 11 . The engaging pieces 84 are positioned between the stoppers 15 of the first fastening member 20 and the sealing position adjusting portion 17 in the first tube 11 through the guide holes 48. [

The latching pieces 84 serve to prevent the first fastening member 20 from being separated from the second fastening member 70. The first fastening member 20 and the second fastening member 70 and the clip member 90 are engaged with each other to separate the first fastening member 20 and the second fastening member 70 of the fastening unit 100 It is possible to implement separation of the first fastening member 20 and the second fastening member 70 by reversing the operation sequence or operation steps enumerated above.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
