Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to hot water heaters and other hot water equipment.

Originally, hot water equipment requires laying and piping work for various external piping to connect to it, so it is often purchased and installed during construction work, but this piping work is compared to the construction process. Because this work is carried out at an early stage, it is impossible to install the hot water equipment and connect the piping work to it at the same time as the piping work, as the hot water equipment would get in the way and interfere with subsequent construction work, such as exterior work. and
Conventionally, the pipes are laid in advance at the end of the construction process, and the piping work for connecting the external pipes and the hot water equipment is carried out.

However, with this method, when laying piping work, the worker has no choice but to visually determine the position of the connection end of the external piping from the wall surface, etc., so when it comes time to actually perform the connection piping work, Difficulties may arise in piping, damage may occur to connection ends that are left standing free during construction work, and furthermore, when it comes time to install hot water equipment, it may not fit in the planned installation location. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to prevent such troubles from occurring.

The present invention was proposed based on such a request, and is a hot water heater or other hot water equipment. In the case where the various connection ports 2 are arranged on the same piping surface 1a on the outer surface of the device main body 1, a piping stand that is freely separable from the device main body 1 is placed opposite to the piping surface 1a. 4, the piping stand 4 is provided with an opposing surface 4a having substantially the same size and shape as the piping surface 1a on the outer surface of the equipment main body 1, and is configured to be smaller than the equipment main body 1, and the opposing surface 4a has a The connection port 2 and the external piping 3
Each joint pipe 5 is arranged to connect the two.

In the illustrated example, the lower surface, which is the outer surface of the vertically elongated device main body 1, is used as the piping surface 1a, and is used for water supply, hot water supply, etc.
Connecting ports 2 for sending and returning heating heat medium, and for fuel are provided, and an opposing surface 4a having substantially the same width and shape as the piping surface 1a is provided on the lower side of the main body 1.
A piping stand 4 equipped with a piping stand 4 is provided so that both 1 and 4 can be vertically separated, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to provide a piping stand 4 that can be freely separated.

The piping stand 4 has joint pipes 5 projecting vertically from the support plate portion of the upper surface, which is the opposing surface 4a, and has the lower surface and the front, rear, left, and right circumferential surfaces as open surfaces, and has a service cover 6 on the front and both left and right sides. It is equipped with blind covers 7, 7 on the surface, and these covers 6,
By removing 7 and 7, the external piping 3 can be easily connected, and the external piping 3 can be guided into the piping stand 4 from any direction from below, from the back, left or right, and connected to each joint. It was designed so that it could be connected to pipe 5.

Furthermore, in the illustrated one, a terminal block 8 for connecting external wiring is attached to the piping stand 4, and an electrical wiring connector 9 is provided connected to the terminal block 8, so that wiring to the device main body 1 can be connected with one touch using the connector 9. I did it so that I could get it.

In the drawing, reference numeral 10 indicates an adjuster for height adjustment provided at the lower end of the piping stand 4, and reference numeral 11 indicates a service cover on the lower front of the equipment body 1. After removing the cover 11, the connection port 2 of the equipment body 1 and the joint pipe 5 are shown. Perform connection work with.

Next, to explain the piping work procedure for the proposed hot water equipment, first, when laying the external piping 3, place the piping stand 4 at the planned installation location of the equipment body 1, and connect the external piping 3 and the joint pipe provided on the piping stand 4. 5 is performed at the same time as the laying of the external piping 3. According to this method, the external piping 3 is laid and connected at the desired position from the beginning, and there is no need to modify it later. The connecting end is fixed to the piping stand 4 via the joint pipe 5 to protect it from damage during subsequent construction work. In this case, the joint pipe 5 is covered with a cover to prevent foreign matter and rainwater from entering.

Incidentally, the piping stand 4 is much smaller than the equipment body 1, and unlike the equipment body 1, there is no problem even if it is slightly scratched, so there is almost no problem in the subsequent construction work process.

Next, when the construction process has progressed to the stage where the equipment main body 1 is installed, the main body 1 is set on the piping stand 4, and the connection port 2 provided on the piping surface 1a is installed.
The joint pipe 5 is connected to the joint pipe 5, but since the joint pipe 5 is arranged on the opposing surface 4a of the piping stand 4 in line with the connection port 2, the connection between both 2 and 5 is ensured. You can get it by doing it.

Note that the piping stand 4 is provided in advance with an opposing surface 4a having approximately the same size and shape as the piping surface 1a on the outer surface of the device main body 1.
Since the main body 1 is installed in a fixed position, problems such as not being able to fit the main body 1 of the device into the planned installation location will not occur.

As described above, according to the present invention, a separable piping stand 4 is provided for the equipment main body 1, and a joint pipe 5 for connecting the connection port 2 provided in the equipment main body 1 and the external piping 3 is arranged on this. The piping stand 4 is smaller than the equipment body 1 and is less likely to get in the way of construction work. Therefore, the piping stand 4 is left in place during the installation work of the external piping 3, and the piping work for connecting the external piping 3 to the joint pipe 5 is also performed. Children can now use the piping stand 4
Since the piping stand 4 is configured to have substantially the same size and shape as the piping surface 1a on the outer surface of the equipment main body 1, and an opposing surface 4a, the installation position of the hot water equipment main body 1 is determined by the piping stand 4, and the hot water equipment can be installed easily. It is possible to prevent troubles that may occur at the stage of installation, such as the pipe not fitting into the planned installation location, and also prevent damage to the connection end of the external piping 3 during construction work by using the piping stand 4. It is protected and less likely to occur, and since the piping stand 4 has been installed in advance, the connection port 2 can be easily and reliably connected by simply connecting the connection port 2 to the joint pipe 5 provided on it. It has the effect of being able to connect the external piping 3 to the external piping 3.
