Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fitting for a circuit of a heating or cooling supply system operated with a liquid medium, such as e.g. Pipe piece, tap, valve or the like.
  • a liquid medium such as e.g. Pipe piece, tap, valve or the like.
  • the heating system comprises several circuits, e.g. a hot water heating system, an underfloor heating system and a domestic water preparation system, possibly even a solar system, for each circuit to provide the units required for conveying the heat transfer medium and for regulating and monitoring the circuit.
  • a hot water heating system e.g. a hot water heating system, an underfloor heating system and a domestic water preparation system, possibly even a solar system, for each circuit to provide the units required for conveying the heat transfer medium and for regulating and monitoring the circuit.
  • modules possibly together with the surrounding housing made of heat-insulating plastic, must be attached to an installation wall of the building for which the heating system is intended.
  • such assemblies are fastened by means of brackets, clips, clamps or the like. This involves a considerable amount of assembly work, above all because the fastening parts on the tubes of the assembly can move and as a result, new drilling points on the wall again and again must be measured.
  • a problem also exists if there is still the rear wall of a heat-insulating housing between the wall and the assembly; it is usually not possible without complete dismantling of the assembly to remove the rear half-shell of the heat-insulating housing from the assembly so that work can be carried out on the individual units.
  • the invention has for its object to find a simple and economical, but above all assembly-friendly way to fast and safely attach such assemblies to an installation wall and to solve them - for maintenance or repair purposes.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to attach the connecting means to be used for the attachment of such an assembly to an installation wall not only to a certain extent passively to the assembly, but to actively provide individual parts of the assembly, in particular of course the fittings, with means to which the Can directly engage lanyards non-positively and / or positively.
  • this is an attachment molded onto the back of a fitting housing can be brought into operative connection with correspondingly designed parts of the connecting means.
  • This operative connection can consist of a screw connection, in which a threaded nut can be screwed onto the external thread on the attachment designed as a cylindrical bolt with the interposition of at least parts of the connecting means.
  • a plug connection in which a bolt can be inserted directly into a corresponding receptacle is considered to be particularly advantageous. Either the bolt on the fitting and the receptacle on the connecting means or the receptacle on the fitting and the bolt on the connecting means can be arranged.
  • the invention is in no way limited to the exemplary embodiments or areas of application mentioned. Approaches designed in this way for the direct fastening of fittings can in principle be used with any type of fitting, even with individual pipe sections.
  • FIG. 1 an embodiment of the attachment of an assembly 1 for a heating circuit is shown, as it is used many times.
  • the assembly 1 basically consists of two tube strands arranged parallel to one another, namely a flow strand 2 and a return strand 3.
  • Flow line 2 as essential units usually a mixer, a circulation pump with a flanged electric motor and a ball valve 4 to shut off the flow line.
  • a corresponding ball valve 5 is located in the return line 3.
  • the invention is only exemplified by fastening means 4, 5 arranged in the area of these ball valves 4, 5, which can be seen in plan view in FIG. 1.
  • the fasteners described below can be arranged on any fittings.
  • the entire assembly 1 can be embedded in a housing made of heat-insulating material, which is only indicated in FIG. 1 by a dashed line 6.
  • FIG. 2 shows an illustration corresponding to FIG. 1 of the ball valve 5 arranged in the return line 3 in an exploded form in order to show the manner of attachment with its individual parts
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of an attachment molded onto a fitting housing according to the invention in the direction III-III in Fig. 2nd
  • the housing 7 of the ball valve 5 can be seen in FIG. a twist grip, and on one side a connecting piece 9 for connecting a line, e.g. an overflow line to which the flow line 2 is arranged.
  • a connecting piece 9 for connecting a line, e.g. an overflow line to which the flow line 2 is arranged.
  • an extension projecting at right angles from the housing axis which is designated overall by 10, is formed on the valve housing 7 on the rear side opposite the operating element.
  • the approach 10 comprises a threaded bolt 11 onto which a nut 12 can be screwed.
  • the approach 10 is intended and suitable for actively receiving fasteners that serve the direct fastening of the tap housing 7 to an installation wall 13 (FIG. 1).
  • these fastening means initially consist of a flat steel rail 14 which has an opening 15 corresponding to the outline of the extension 10, then from a washer 16 and, as already mentioned, from the nut 12.
  • the flat steel rail 14 is placed on the extension 10 in the direction of the arrows in such a way that the opening 15 fits onto the extension 10; the valve housing 5 and with it the attached part of the assembly 1 are then fixed by screwing the nut 12 with the washer 16 in between.
  • the projection 10 can have a lower region 17 which has a non-circular cross section with respect to the threaded bolt 11. As the enlarged detail in FIG. 3 shows, this region 17 can be oval; it could of course also be done in another way, e.g. polygonal, be designed.
  • the opening 15 in the flat steel rail 14 has an outline corresponding to the outline of this region 17, so that when the non-circular region 17 fits into the opening 15, the flat steel rail 14 is held in a rotationally fixed manner on the valve housing 5 or vice versa.
  • the mounting of the flat steel rail 14 carrying the assembly 1 on the installation wall 13 serves, as shown in FIG. 1, a stud 18, which is arranged in the center of the rail 14 and in turn via a corresponding fastening construction, e.g. another flat steel rail 19 and screws 20, is attached to the installation wall 13.
  • the stud bolt 18 carries at its free end a threaded bolt 21 onto which a wing nut 22 can be screwed.
  • the flat steel rail 14 is usually straight; it can be parallel to the surface of the installation wall 13 in the view, but also be angular to be accessible for the assembly and disassembly of the assembly 1 if, for example, both ball valves 4 and 5 are connected to one another via the two connecting pieces 9 by an overflow line ,
  • FIG. 4 shows, similar to FIG. 1, a horizontal section through an assembly 1a with ball valves 4a, 5a, which are each fastened to the installation wall 13 by means of stud bolts 18a, a flat steel rail 19a and screws 20a.
  • FIG. 5b shows a detail of a tap housing 7a with an extension 10a, which is designed here as a cylindrical bolt 23 and is intended to be inserted into a receptacle 24 arranged at the end on a stud 18a (Fig. 5a).
  • the stud 18a here consists of a tube section which is fastened to the end face opposite the receptacle 24 by means of a countersunk screw 25 on the rail 19a fastened to the installation wall 13.
  • the arrow 26 shows the direction of insertion.
  • both ball valves 4a and 4b are provided with such approaches 10a, so that an assembly 1a comprising the two ball valves 4a, 5a can be fastened to the wall 13 solely by inserting them into the receptacles 24 in two stud bolts 18a already fastened to the installation wall 13 (FIG. 4).
  • the bolt 23 has an annular groove 27 in its outer surface.
  • this annular groove 27 there is a snap ring 28 in a manner known per se, which protrudes somewhat beyond the outer surface of the bolt 23, but is so elastic that it can reduce its circumference when the bolt 23 is inserted into the receptacle 24, in order to then have it in the area to enlarge the annular groove 29 arranged in the inner wall of the receptacle 24 again. 6 and 23 in the engaged state are shown in FIG. 6.
  • the lower region 22a of the extension 10a can be designed to be non-circular, in order to provide a rotation lock after insertion into a correspondingly shaped region 30 of the receptacle 24.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 A further alternative is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, in which only the essential parts of a fastening device according to the invention, also in the form of a plug connection, are shown in an isometric representation before (FIG. 7) and after (FIG. 8) the plugging together.
  • the plug pin and the receptacle are interchanged with respect to the embodiment according to FIGS. 4 to 6, ie the receptacle is located on the fitting housing and the plug pin on the free end of a stud bolt facing the assembly. Otherwise, the manner in which this assembly is fastened corresponds to that shown in FIG. 4.
  • the projection 10b which is molded onto a fitting housing in the manner described, comprises a cylindrical extension 31 which surrounds a receptacle 32 in its central region.
  • the receptacle 32 has a square cross section, so that the front part of a stud bolt 18b, which is designed as a plug pin 33 and also has a square cross section, can be inserted into the receptacle.
  • the non-positive and positive fixation of the receptacle 32 on the plug pin 33 is used by a resilient bracket 34 which is approximately U-shaped with two parallel legs 35.
  • the cylindrical extension 31 has in its outer wall two parallel slots 36 which cut opposite corners of the square receptacle 32 in their deepest area; this creates openings 37.
  • the plug pin is machined conically at its front end, thereby creating oblique gussets 38 in the region of the edges.
  • an annular groove is milled at a short distance from the end of the plug pin 33, which form triangular grooves 39 only in the region of the edges of the square cross section.
  • the clip 34 is first pushed over the extension 31 such that the two legs 35 lie in the slots 36 lying opposite one another; lower bends 40 fix the clamp 34 against accidental pulling out.
  • the fitting housing with the attachment 10b thus prepared is then pushed onto the stud bolt 18b already fastened to the installation wall.
  • the legs 35 of the spring 34 are spread apart by the oblique gusset 38.
  • the extension 10b is pushed onto the plug pin 33, the legs 35 come into the area of the triangular grooves 39 on the plug pin, into which they snap. 8 shows this state.
  • a module of the type described several times above can thus be centered in a rotationally fixed manner and against only by a push-on operation Secure axial displacement securely on an installation wall.
  • the assembly can be released if the clamp 34 is spread and pushed upwards in order to release the locks by the crankings 40.
  • valve housing As was described here using the example of a ball valve housing, is not restricted to such a housing. It is of course possible to form an attachment which serves for the direct active fastening of fastening means in the case of any fittings, right down to simple pipe sections. In addition to the fastening of such installation units by means of clamps, the invention is characterized in particular by the fact that it is then possible to fasten elements serving to fasten a fitting directly thereon.
