FIG. 2 is a partially broken front elevation view illustrating an installation layout of a hot water distributor according to the invention,FIG. 3 is a side elevation view ofFIG. 2 , andFIGS. 4 to 6 are example views illustrating distributor pipes of the hot water distributor according to the invention. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 and3 , the hot water distributor of the invention includes plate-shaped support brackets 100, which are fixed in a mounting place, fixingbolts 110 extending perpendicularly and fastened to thesupport brackets 100, A-type, B-type and C-type distributor pipes fixing bolts 110, andwarming pipes 300, which are connected to the A-type, B-type and C-type distributor pipes - The mounting structure using the
support brackets 100 is merely illustrative, but the hot water distributor can be directly fixed to the mounting place using a clamp, a band or the like, without the use of the support brackets. - Each of the A-type, B-type and C-
type distributor pipes flow rate valve 400 or an automatictemperature regulating valve 500 through avalve actuator 510. -
Fixing nuts 120 are engaged with thefixing bolts 110, thereby fixing thefixing bolts 110 to thesupport brackets 100. - Furthermore, the A-type, B-type and C-
type distributor pipes support brackets 100 using thefixing bolts 110 and thefixing nuts 120, thereby forming a single main distribution pipe, that is, a supply pipe S or a return pipe R. - The supply pipe S and the return pipe R have the same structure, but are arranged in opposite directions so that they do not interfere with each other when connected to the
warming pipes 300. The supply pipe S and the return pipe R are generally arranged in this structure because construction is convenient. - The A-type, B-type and C-
type distributor pipes A-type distributor pipe 200 fixed to one of thesupport brackets 100 is the longest, the C-type distributor pipe 220 fixed to the other one of thesupport brackets 100 is the second longest, and the B-type distributor pipe 210 interposed between the A-type and C-type distributor pipes distributor pipe 210 forms a plurality of zones in order to vary the length of the supply pipe S or the return pipe R. - Here, the term "zone" indicates the number of
warming pipes 300 installed in the supply pipe S or the return pipe R, which is constructed by the connection of the A-type, second and C-type distributor pipes - As shown in
FIG. 4 (a) , theA-type distributor pipe 200 has substantially circular second fixing flanges F at both ends in the horizontal diametrical direction of theA-type distributor pipe 200. A bolt hole B is formed in a respective one of the second fixing flanges F. - Here, the second fixing flanges F closely contact the outer circumference of the
support brackets 100 in the configuration shown inFIG. 2 . -
Connectors A-type distributor pipe 200 in the direction crossing the second fixing flanges F. At least one of the automatictemperature regulating valve 500, theflow rate valve 400 and thewarming pipe 300 can be connected to theconnectors - A
distributor pipe connector 206 is provided in a lateral portion of theA-type distributor pipe 200, which extends a shorter distance in the longitudinal direction, and aboiler connector 208 is provided in the opposite portion of theA-type distributor pipe 200, which extends a longer distance in the longitudinal direction. - Hence, the B-
type distributor pipe 210 can be inserted into thedistributor pipe connector 206, and theboiler connector 208 can be connected to a boiler to supply or return warming water. - The top end, where the
connector 204 is formed, preferably protrudes higher than the inner circumference of theA-type distributor pipe 200. - That is, the top end of the
connector 204 forms an opening/closing seat surface SF, which protrudes higher than the inner circumference of theA-type distributor pipe 200, which is the bottom surface WF where fluid is located. In this way, it is possible to minimize the malfunction of the automatictemperature regulating valve 500 or theflow rate valve 400 by foreign materials in the case of opening/closing thereof. - The B-
type distributor pipe 210 has a structure similar to that of the aforementionedA-type distributor pipe 200. While theA-type distributor pipe 200 is a structure for fixing the entire piping, the B-type distributor pipe 210 is a distributor pipe having a pure connecting function, by which the length of the pipes of the supply pipe S or the return pipe R, that is, the number of zones, can be adjusted. - For this purpose, the B-
type distributor pipe 210 should have a sealing structure capable of realizing a perfect hermetic seal. - For example, as shown in
FIG. 5 (a) and (b) , like theA-type distributor pipe 200, the B-type distributor pipe 210 also hasconnectors temperature regulating valve 500, theflow rate valve 400 or thewarming pipe 300. A distributor pipe connector 216 is formed at one end in the longitudinal direction, and adistributor pipe insert 218 is formed on the opposite end. - In the outer circumference of the distributor pipe insert 218, an annular main sealing groove 218a is formed to have a slightly downwardly recessed shape, slightly stepped from the front end. A step is vertically formed in the direction opposite the front end, spaced apart from the main sealing groove 218a, and a sub sealing groove 218b is recessed in the step, thereby forming a double sealing structure.
- A
seal 600, such as an O-ring, as shown inFIG. 2 , is inserted into a respective one of the main sealing groove 218a and the sub sealing groove 218b. - Also, first fixing flanges F and bolt holes B are formed in opposing side portions of the B-
type distributing pipe 210 in a diametrical direction, configured the same as those in the aforementionedA-type distributor pipe 200. - Preferably, a bushing 800, as seen in an enlarged view in
FIG. 2 , is inserted into the bolt hole B to remove inner play when thefixing bolt 110 is screwed into the bolt hole B. This can improve fixing force as well as suppress noise. - The C-
type distributor pipe 220 is fabricated to have the average length of theA-type distributor pipe 200 and the B-type distributor pipe 210, and acts to fix one end of the entire piping, like theA-type distributor pipe 200. - For example, as shown in
FIG. 6 (a) and (b) , like the aforementionedA-type distributor pipe 200, the C-type distributor pipe 220 also hasconnectors temperature regulating valve 500, theflow rate valve 400 or the warmingpipe 300. Aboiler connector 226 is formed at one end in the longitudinal direction, and adistributor insert 228 is formed at the opposite end in the longitudinal direction. - In the outer circumference of the
distributor pipe insert 228, an annular main sealing groove 228a is formed in a slightly downwardly recessed shape, slightly stepped from the front end. A step is vertically formed in the direction opposite the front end, spaced apart from the main sealing groove 228a, and asub sealing groove 228b is recessed in the step, thereby forming a double sealing structure. - Also, second fixing flanges F and bolt holes B are formed in opposing side portions of the C-
type distributing pipe 210 in a diametrical direction, that is, the direction crossing theconnectors A-type distributor pipe 200. - The operation of the present invention as configured above will now be described as follows:
- First, the number of zones is suitably determined according to the areas to be warmed in order to construct the hot water distributor of the present invention.
- That is, the number of hot water distributors to be constructed is determined. For example, if it is determined that five (5) zone hot water distributors are to be constructed, as shown in the drawings, three identical B-
type distributor pipes 210 are prepared, in addition to theA-type distributor pipe 200 and the C-type distributor pipe 220. - Next, the
distributor pipes A-type distributor pipe 200, the three B-type distributor pipes 210 and the C-type distributor pipe 220 are inserted into and assembled with each other sequentially in the order. - The
distributor insert 218 of the first one of the B-type distributor pipes 210 is inserted into thedistributor pipe connector 206 of theA-type distributor pipe 200, with thesealings 600 inserted into the main sealing groove 218a and into the sub sealing groove 218b. Thedistributor insert 218 of the second one of the B-type distributor pipes 210 is inserted into the distributor connector 216 of theformer distributor pipe 210 in the same fashion. Thedistributor pipe insert 228 of the C-type distributor pipe 220 is inserted into the distributor pipe connector 216 of the last one of thesecond distributor pipes 210. - The fixing
bolt 110, that is, a long bolt, is pushed into the bolt holes B of the first fixing flanges F of the A-type, B-type and C-type distributor pipes bolt 110, and are thus assembled together. - Next, the
pipe connector 208 of theA-type distributor pipe 200 and theboiler connector 226 of the C-type distributor pipe 220 are brought in close contact with the inner surface of thesupport brackets 100, fixingbolts 110 are inserted through thesupport brackets 100, and the fixingbolts 110 are tightened with the fixingnuts 120 from outside. Then, the A-type, B-type and C-type distributor pipes sealings 600 form a perfect hermetic seal, thereby forming one main distribution pipe. - For example, one supply pipe S or one return pipe R is constructed.
- In the assembled state, the automatic
temperature regulating valves 500, theflow rate valves 400, or the warmingpipe 300 are connected, in necessary numbers, to necessary places of theconnectors type distributor pipes - Of course, the
valve actuator 510 can be provided to embody the automatictemperature regulating valves 500. - Accordingly, the length of the piping can be freely adjusted by suitably combining the A-type, B-type and C-
type distributor pipes - In the case where the hot water distributors are separated by the
support brackets 100, the first distributor pipe 200' and the third distributor pipe 220' can be embodied by modifying theA-type distributor pipe 200 and the C-type distributor pipe 220 so that the hot water distributors can maintain the integrally combined state. In this embodiment, the B-type distributor pipe 210 can be used as a linkage pipe without modification between the first distributor pipe 200' and the third distributor pipe 220'. Therefore, the B-type distributor pipe 210 in this embodiment is called as thesecond distributor pipe 210 for the purpose of distinguishing different embodiment of the invention. And, explanations about the second (B-type)distributor pipe 210 are omitted since its composition and function is the same as explained with regard to theFigs. 1 to 6 . -
FIGS. 7 to 12 are example views of the first distributor pipe 200' according to a second embodiment of the invention, in whichFIG. 7 is a partially broken front elevation view illustrating a hot water distributor according to the second embodiment,FIG. 8 is a front elevation view of the first distributor pipe of the hot water distributor shown inFIG. 7 , seen from the pipe connector,FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a hexagonal nut for fixing the first distributor pipe and the third distributor pipe with a fixing bolt,FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a cap nut for fixing the hot water distributor to the support brackets,FIG. 11 is a front elevation view illustrating the hexagonal nut engaged with the first distributor pipe, andFIG. 12 is a front elevation view illustrating the hexagonal nut engaged with the third distributor pipe. - As shown in
FIGS. 7 to 12 , the first and third distributor pipes 200' and 220' of this embodiment have the same overall structure as the A-type and C-type distributor pipes FIGS. 2 to 6 . However, the hexagonal nut insert hole B' is formed in the second fixing flange F', and theprotrusion 130a at one end of the hexagonal nut 130 (seeFIG. 9 ) is fixedly inserted into the hexagonal nut insert hole B'. The hexagonal nut hole 201 (seeFIG. 12 ) is formed in the outer circumference of the hexagonal nut insert hole B' in the side of the pipe connector of the second fixing flange F'. Thehexagonal nut hole 201 has a greater diameter than the hexagonal nut insert hole B', so that the outer circumference of thehexagonal nut 130 is inserted into and stored in thehexagonal nut hole 201. The hexagonal nut bolt hole B" is formed in the center of thehexagonal nut 130, and has inner threads for meshing with the fixing bolt 110 (seeFIGS. 9 and11 ). As main features different from the A-type and C-type distributor pipes hexagonal nuts 130 are stored in the hexagonal nut holes 201, and theprotrusion 130b in the bottom of thehexagonal nut 130 is inserted into the hexagonal nut insert hole B'. The fixingbolts 110 are inserted through the first and second flanges of the first tothird distributor pipes 200', 210 and 220', and the threads in the end of the fixingbolts 110 are screwed into the hexagonal bolt holes B". Then, the first tothird distributor pipes 200', 210 and 220' can be fixedly and integrally combined together without being fixed to the support brackets. - Also, as shown in
FIGS. 7 to 12 , the cap nuts 120' are provided in the first and third distributor pipes 200' and 220'. A respective cap nut 120' meshes with the end of the fixingbolt 110, which protrudes from thehexagonal hole 130b of thehexagonal nut 130, into which a hexagonal wrench will be inserted. In the case of fixing thesupport brackets 100, the cap nuts 120' are inserted into through holes in thesupport bracket 100, and mesh with the fixingbolts 110, which protrude from the inside of thehexagonal holes 130b of thehexagonal nuts 130, thereby fixing the hot water distributor having the first tothird distributor pipes 200', 210 and 220' to thesupport brackets 100. This feature of this embodiment is also different from the A-type and C-type distributor pipes FIGS. 2 to 6 . - The first and third distributor pipes 200' and 220' are also provided with connectors, like the A-type and C-
type distributor pipes - In regions where the first to third distributor pipes are inserted into each other, main sealing grooves are recessed in the outer circumference of the inserted part, spaced apart from the front end. Sub sealing grooves are formed in the step, spaced apart from the main sealing grooves. A seal (O-ring) is inserted into a respective one of the main and sub sealing grooves. A bushing is inserted in the bolt hole of the first and second fixing flanges.
- According to this structure, the hot water distributor of the invention maintains an integrally assembled and fixed shape, even if separated from the
support brackets 100. Hence, it is possible to test the internal pressure or hermetic seal in the state in which only the hot water distributor is fixedly assembled together, without being fixed to thesupport brackets 100. Also, in the case of separating the hot water distributor from thesupport brackets 100 for maintenance, even if the cap nut 120' is detached, the hot water distributor maintains a fixed state due to the fixingbolt 110 and thehexagonal nut 130, without the separation of the zone distributor pipe. Therefore, it is possible to protect the hot water distributor from leakage and breakage even in the situation where an unskilled person disassembles the hot water distributor. - According to the hot water distributor of the invention as set forth above, the length of the body can be freely varied according to the size of areas to be warmed. Thus, inventory control is easy, a perfect seal is obtained, and unnecessary operations can be avoided in the assembling operation, thereby improving working efficiency.
- Furthermore, in the case where the hot water distributor of the invention is separated from the support brackets, the hot water distributor can maintain the integrally assembled state. Thus, it is possible to easily test and repair products as well as prevent hot water from leaking, thereby improving operation stability.
