JPH089543Y2 - Cover for header of soft floor heating mat - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed description of the device] [Industrial applications]

The present invention is mounted on a header installation portion of a soft floor heating mat that uses a heating fluid such as hot water as a heat medium, and is used as a holding member for fixing the header to the soft floor heating mat and also laying the soft floor heating mat. In this case, the present invention relates to a cover for a header of a soft floor heating mat that can also serve as a protection member for preventing damage to the floor surface due to a connecting tool between the header and the heat medium supply / return pipe.

[Prior art]

A soft floor heating mat that uses a heating fluid such as warm water as a heat medium is provided with a pipe groove on a base sheet made of a thermoplastic resin foam that serves as a heat insulating layer of the mat, and a conduit for circulating the heat medium is provided in the pipe groove. It is generally known that the structure is laid and a covering material is applied to the surface side (for example, Jikkai Sho-6-6).
See 0608). Then, the start end and the end of the conduit are connected to the inlet and the return of the header, respectively, so that the heat medium can flow through the header to the conduit. The header is installed near the edge of the soft floor heating mat.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

If only the header is connected to the conduit, the support condition of the header for the soft floor heating mat is very unstable, and the header is easily rattled due to shaking during transportation, and the connection part with the conduit is damaged. I'm worried. When a soft floor heating mat is laid, the header and the connecting parts of the heat medium supply and return pipes may be stepped on and hit the floor surface (laying surface such as tatami mat), There is also the problem of hurt. Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to mount the header on the part of the soft floor heating mat where it is installed and use it to hold the header in a fixed state, while supplying and returning the header and heat medium when laying the soft floor heating mat. A soft floor heating mat that covers the portion of the floor surface facing the lower part of the connection with the pipe and prevents the floor surface of the portion from coming into contact with the connection tool to prevent the floor surface from being damaged by the connection tool. Is to provide a cover for the header.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the header cover of the soft floor heating mat, which is a feature of the present invention, has a U-shaped cross-section with a shoulder portion and upper and lower plate portions, and is installed on the soft floor heating mat. A cover body made of a thermoplastic resin that can be fitted from the end edge side of the soft floor heating mat is formed in the mounting portion of the header that is installed, and the lower side plate portion of this cover body is attached to the lower side plate portion. And a cover piece that can be unfolded so as to project forward from the ridgeline of the shoulder portion is foldably provided on the lower plate portion, and a window hole is bored in the shoulder portion. It is a thing. In this configuration, the foldable cover piece can be provided as a cut-and-raised piece on the lower plate portion.

[Action]

The shoulder part of the cover body is brought into contact with the end face of the soft floor heating mat and fitted to the header part, and when the upper and lower side plate parts are attached to the soft floor heating mat, the cover body can hold the header in a fixed state, When the cover piece is unfolded toward the front of the shoulder when laying the soft floor heating mat, the cover piece is placed on the floor facing the connection between the header and the heat medium supply / return pipe. Is covered, and it is possible to completely eliminate the concern that the connector will come into contact with the floor surface.

【Example】

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The cover body 1 has a U-shaped cross-sectional shape including a shoulder portion 2 and upper and lower side plate portions 3 and 4, and an edge of a soft floor heating mat (hereinafter, simply referred to as mat in this section) 11 described later. It is formed in such a size that it can be fitted into the mounting portion of the header 21 installed on the mat 11 from the 11a side, and the material thereof is a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene. On the lower plate portion 4 side of the cover body 1, a cover piece 5 which is developed so as to be flush with the lower plate portion 4 and which can be projected forward from a ridge line 9 of the shoulder portion 2 is foldable. On the other hand, the shoulder portion 2 has a pair of window holes 6 and 7 for inserting the connecting pipe portions 22 and 23 protruding from the header 21. Then, the connecting pipe portions 22 and 23 are connected to the pipes 24 and 25 for circulating the heat medium, respectively, by using connecting members 26 such as fixed bands. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover piece 5 is formed as a cut-and-raised piece by providing the cutout window 8 on the lower plate portion 4, but this is the ridge line 9 of the shoulder portion 2 and the lower plate portion 4. It is also possible to attach a cover piece in a state of following and to fold the cover piece with respect to the lower plate portion 4. Next, the mat 11 used by mounting the header cover of the present invention will be schematically described. On the base sheet 12 made of a thermoplastic resin foam, which serves as a heat insulating layer, a conduit 13 made of a thermoplastic resin is laid in a meandering state via a piping groove, and the surface side thereof is a woven or non-woven covering material. Covered by 14. Then, the header 21 is installed in the cutout portion 15 provided in the portion of the base material sheet 12 facing the edge 11a of the mat 11, and the starting end portion of the conduit 13 at the inlet port 21a of the header 21, Also, the return ports 21b are connected to the respective end portions of the conduits 13, and the heat medium is circulated through the headers 21 to the conduits 13.

[Effect of device]

The present invention is as described above, and by mounting the cover body on the header mounting portion of the soft floor heating mat, the header can be stably held in a fixed state, and the rattling of the header which is likely to occur during transportation is prevented. it can. Also, when laying a soft floor heating mat, the cover piece may be unfolded, and the cover piece may be projected below the connection portion between the header and the heat medium supply / return pipe, and the floor surface of the portion may be covered with the cover piece. Therefore, it is possible to completely prevent the floor surface from being damaged by the connecting tool attached to the connecting portion, and it is extremely effective in handling the soft floor heating mat.
