PIPING ELEMENT TO PROTECT PIPES FROM THE ENVIRONMENT AND PIPE BRACKET MODULE

The invention relates to a piping element for insulating pipes from an environment comprising: and - fasteners for attaching the tube bracket module to the shell structure of the tubing element. wherein the shell structure includes exterior inwardly bulging of the tubular member for fasteners, which bulges include second openings for attaching the tubular bracket module to the tubular member and each tubular bracket module for engaging said opening, the second bulging member being tubularly disposed The invention also relates to a tubular bracket module.

Residential piping renovation can traditionally be done by opening floor and wall structures and replacing pipelines or replacing pipelines with surface-drawn piping elements. Such piping elements are manufactured, for example, by Finnish Pipe-Modul Oy. Correspondingly, pipeline elements can also be used in new construction.

125187 B discloses a prior art piping element. In addition to water pipelines, the piping element may have electrical wires that are divided into a separate fire-proof compartment within the piping element. The water pipelines are supported on the shell of the piping element by means of separate brackets. The brackets are attached to the shell of the piping element. The problem with such a construction, however, is that the fastening of the brackets requires the tubular element to be turned around during their manufacture, since the brackets are fastened from the outside of the tubular element. This slows down the production of the pipe elements in the form of an extra work step. Another problem is that the base portion of the bracket fasteners, such as rivet nuts, remains on the outer surface of the tubular member, which makes it difficult to install the tubular members.

JPH11270776 discloses a piping element having a structure provided by inwardly bulging, wherein the incoming tubular bracket module is attached to the piping element so that the outer surface of the piping element remains flat. In such a structure, the tubular bracket module is a rail-like structure that takes up space in the height direction of the piping element. The pipe brackets are fixed to the rail in a form-locked manner. However, the problem with such a structure is the space taken away from the insulators by the rail-like tubular bracket module and the fastening of the brackets which does not allow height adjustment.

It is an object of the invention to provide a piping element which is manufactured in a simpler manner than prior art pipe elements for insulating pipes from the environment. It is also an object of the invention to provide a tubular bracket module which takes up less space from the insulators in the vertical direction of the piping element than prior art tubular bracket modules. Characteristic features of the present invention will be apparent from the accompanying claim 5.

The object of the piping element according to the invention can be achieved by the piping element for insulating the pipes from the environment, which comprises a duct-like openable shell structure for insulating the pipes, at least one substantially planar tubular bracket module for The tube bracket duel includes a base plate adapted to be attached to the tube support element, at least one bracket attached to the base plate for supporting the tube to the tube element, and openings for attaching the tube bracket module to the tube element. The shell structure includes exterior inwardly bulging of the tubular member for fasteners, which bulges include second openings for attaching the tubular bracket module to the tubular member and each tubular bracket module includes a second bump comprising said opening, the second bulging member being disposed The base plate further comprises at least one inner thread for the bracket and the bracket includes corresponding outer threads for securing the bracket to the internal threads of the base plate. Such a tubular element can be manufactured quickly and cost-efficiently by conveyor belt work, since planar tubular bracket modules are easy to manufacture and can be fastened directly from inside the shell structure without turning the shell structure around. At the same time, the fasteners of the tubular bracket module remain within the bulges, whereby the outer surface of the tubular member may be flat without bumps. In addition, the fastening of the brackets is easy and fast thanks to the internal threads integrated in the tube bracket module. In addition, the use of threads to secure the brackets allows for limited height adjustment of the pipes. By essentially planar, it is meant herein that the base plate of the tubular bracket module does not have surfaces perpendicular to the plane of the base plate, as in prior art tubular bracket modules.

Preferably, the tubular bracket module includes at least one third bulging to attach the bracket to the base plate such that the surface opposite to the third bulges of the base plate is substantially flat. This allows the brackets to be secured to the base plate without the protrusion caused by the brackets on the opposite surface of the base plate, whereby the tubular bracket module is tightly and securely secured against the shell structure of the tubular element.

The tubular bracket module may include a plurality of brackets and third bulges secured to the third bulges by rivet nuts having internal threads. A plurality of brackets can be used to attach a plurality of different water pipes to the pipe element so that each water pipe is positioned at the desired level in the pipe element.

According to one embodiment, the brackets are arranged in at least two rows. This leaves enough distance between the brackets to rotate the brackets to adjust the height.

Preferably, the tubular bracket module includes at least three bulges to prevent vibration when using the tubular bracket module. Three bulges allow the tubular bracket module to be secured at three locations, thereby securing the bracket.

The second bulges may be positioned so as to form a triangle perpendicular to the plane of the base plate. The second bulges mounted in a triangular shape allow the tubular bracket module to be secured to the tubular member so that the bracket is supported by stresses from different directions while the other bulges are spaced apart.

Preferably, each bulge and the second bulge are adapted to rise from the plane of the base plate in the same direction as the bracket. In this case, bulges and other bulges allow the use of brackets mounted inside the tubular member without causing external protrusions on the tubular member.

Preferably, the tubing element includes a plurality of tubing head modules. A plurality of tubular bracket modules allow the pipes to be securely attached to the piping element.

Preferably, the brackets include a foot for attaching the bracket to the base plate and a bracket for attaching the tube to the tubular bracket module, which includes outer threads. Such a bracket structure is very simple and reliable.

Preferably, the tubing member includes an insulator mounted on a base plate to insulate the tubing attached to the bracket. The insulation also maintains good insulation of the pipe element at the pipe support modules.

The object of the tubular bracket module according to the invention can be achieved by a tubular bracket module for attaching pipes to a piping element including a base plate adapted to be fastened to a piping element, at least one bracket fixed to a base plate for supporting the pipe to the piping element. According to the invention, the fastening stops are at least two second bulges included in the base plate and an opening in each of the second bumps for fastening the tube support module to the tube support element from the inside by means of fasteners. The tubular bracket module is substantially planar and the base plate further includes at least one inner thread for the bracket and the bracket includes corresponding outer threads for securing the bracket to the internal threads of the base plate.

By means of the second bulging, the base plate of the tubular bracket module can be attached directly to the tubular member from the inside of the tubular member by means of brackets, since the bulging allows the use of bulges in the tubular member. Then, the second bulge of the tubular bracket module is positioned at the bulge of the piping element and the bracket used to secure the tubular bracket module to the duct element remains in the recess at the bulge of the duct element. In this case, the bracket does not cause the outer surface of the tubular member to protrude outwardly, which makes it difficult to install the tubular member. The flat tubular bracket module is easy to manufacture, and the use of threads makes the brackets easy and fast to mount, and allows for height adjustment of the pipes. By essentially planar, it is meant herein that the base plate of the tubular bracket module does not have surfaces perpendicular to the plane of the base plate, as in prior art tubular bracket modules.

The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 shows a substantially planar tubular bracket module 10 according to the invention without brackets. The tubular bracket module includes a base plate 16, which may be, for example, a sheet metal body adapted to a particular shape as shown in FIG. The tubular brace assembly 10 also includes at least two second bulges 28 for attaching the base plate 16 and thereby the entire tubular bracket module 10 to the piping element. The second bulges are protrusions rising from the plane of the base plate 16, each with an opening 20 for the bracket. In the embodiment of Fig. 1, the shape of the bottom plate 16 results from the fitting of the second bulges 28 as far apart as possible into the shape of a triangle 36, resulting in an increase in the surface area of the bottom plate. As the bottom plate grows, the weight of the tubular bracket module 10 also increases, but to control weight gain, the bottom plate 16 is cut to shape as shown in Figure 1. By positioning the other bulges as far apart as possible, it is sought to secure as firmly as possible the attachment of the tube support module to the tube element. In addition to the second bulges 28, the base plate 16 is provided with locations for brackets which in this embodiment are third bulges 30. Also, the third bulges 30 are raised from the plane of the base plate 16 in the same direction as the second bulges 28, preferably having third openings 38 can also have more than three pieces in the tubular bracket module.

Preferably, both the second bulges 28 and the third bulges 30 are strokes made on the sheet metal, which can be performed automatically in connection with the cutting of the base plate. Preferably, the second bulges 28 are smaller in diameter than the third bulges because the fasteners used to attach the tubular bracket module are smaller than the bracket brackets entering the third bulges. The second protuberances 28 may have a diameter of 10 to 20 mm starting from the plane of the base plate 16, narrowing to a level of 4-7 mm in the opening 20. The third protrusions may have a diameter of 20 to 30 mm starting from the 16 levels of the base plate, narrowing to a level of 12 to 18 mm in the 38 holes of the third openings. The size of the third bulges is partly determined by the size of the brackets, because the brackets used to secure the brackets must be of a size that allows the brackets to be attached to them.

In the embodiment of Figure 1, the third bulges 30 are disposed in two rows 34, which rows preferably extend transversely to the pipe element. The brackets to be attached to the third protrusions 30 are then spaced far enough apart to allow their height to be adjusted by rotating them without striking one another.

In the tubular bracket module according to the invention, the base plate 16 further includes at least one inner thread 80 for the bracket 18 and the bracket 18 includes respective outer threads 82 for securing the bracket 18 to the inner threads 80 of the base plate 16. As shown in FIG. In the embodiment of Figure 2, the fasteners are rivet nuts 50 secured to third openings 38 from above. Thus, the ends of the rivet nuts 50 remain within the third bulges and the underside of the base plate 16 is flat on the side opposite the brackets. The rivet nuts 50, in turn, may be fitted with a leg 46 and a bracket 48 preferably included in the brackets 18. The leg 46 may be a pin having, for example, external threads 82 which are threaded onto the counter threads of the rivet nut 50. Preferably, an insulator 40 is placed over the base plate 16, which in turn can be secured to the brackets 48 by means of bolts 52. The insulator may be, for example, rock wool, which is particularly well suited for the use of the pipe element. Alternatively, instead of a rivet nut, the inner threads can also be integrated integrally with the base plate and the outer threads in turn with the bracket.

As shown in Figure 3, the insulator 40 may have a groove 54 for the water pipe. As shown in Figure 3, after the insulator 40 and the brackets 18 have been secured, the second bulges 28 and their openings 20 in the base plate 16 remain open from above. This contributes in part to the mounting of the brackets from the top of the tubular bracket module 10 through the opening 20. In the final installation, the second bulges also remain under the other insulators 41 to be added, as shown in Figure 5.

Fig. 4 is an axonometric view of the tubular bracket module 10 according to the invention when attached to the shell structure 12 of the piping element 100. Because the tubular bracket module can be easily and quickly attached to the tubular element shell structure, tubular bracket modules may be assembled for various tubing elements. This enables workload balancing in the manufacture of tubular elements, since tubular carrier modules can be manufactured for storage during breaks in the production of tubular elements. In addition, the tubular bracket modules of the invention can be assembled separately, making them much easier to handle than the halves of whole tubular elements.

The tubular bracket module may have a width of 14 to 48 cm, preferably 18 to 39 cm, length 4 to 15 cm, preferably 6 to 10 cm. The tubular bracket module may be made of, for example, 1 mm steel plate or the like.

Figure 4 shows the shell structure 12 of the piping element according to the invention. The shell structure 12 is openable and preferably has two parts which are connected to one another. Preferably, the parts are symmetrical with each other. Figure 4 shows the shell structure 12 for the base portion only. Furthermore, Fig. 4 shows only a part of the pipe element for mounting the water pipes, since in addition to the part for water pipe generally, the pipe element 100 has both the water pipe part 58 and the electrical conduit part 60 shown in Fig. 5. According to the invention, bulges 24 are formed bulges 24 in both orientation and location as well as size and shape. Also, the second openings 26 in the bulges correspond to the size of the openings 24. The bulges 24 and the second bulges 28 are aligned so that the tubular bracket module 10 rests firmly against the housing structure 12. The function of the protuberances 24 and the second protuberances 28 is to align the tubular bracket module 10 with respect to the shell structure 12.

As shown in Figure 6, the bracket 22 locks the tubular bracket module 10 into the shell structure 12. In the embodiment of Figure 6, the bracket 22 is a rivet 56 which is secured from above. The base of the rivet 56 is compressed and remains in the space 62 formed by the bulge 24 so that the rivet does not form a protrusion down from the plane of the shell structure 12. In other words, if the underside of the shell structure 12 rests against the wall during installation, the pipe element will be tight against the wall.

Figure 5 shows how the tubular bracket module 10 sits within the tubular element 100 within the base portion 13 of the shell structure 12, more particularly the base 12.1 and walls 12.2 of the shell structure 12. between. Within the shell structure 12, in this embodiment, there is both a water pipe section 58 and an electrical conduit section 60 separated by a partition 12.3. As shown in Figure 5, the portions between the tubular bracket modules 10 of the piping element 100 are preferably filled with other insulators 41, wherein the piping element 100 has insulation throughout the pipes 14. Corresponding to the bottom part 12.1, the cover part 12.3 of the tubular element 12 also includes a shell structure 12 and other insulators 41 as shown in Figure 7. However, the cover portion does not include pipe bracket ducts, since the water pipes are only attached to the base. It is to be understood at this point that the base member refers to the part to which the tubular bracket modules are attached. In practice, the base member may even be physically over the cover member, but preferably the base member is mounted against the wall, while the cover member forms the facade of the tubular member.
