[0010]
【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0011]
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a pipe storage device in the embodiment of the present invention in which the configuration of the pipe lid can be opened and closed by each of the piping box and the piping cover body, and FIG. 2 is an installation of the pipe storage device of FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the pipe storage device of FIG. 1 installed, and FIG. 4 is an embodiment of the present invention. It is a disassembled perspective view made possible.
[0012]
In the figure, 1 is a water heater, 2 is a piping box, 3 is a piping cover body, 4 is a piping box, a piping lid for closing both front opening portions of the piping cover body, and 4a is a piping box and a piping cover body. 4b is a lower piping lid that closes the piping box, 5 is a gas piping, 6 is a gas cock, and 7 is a water supply piping. , 8 is a water supply valve, 9 is a hot water supply pipe, 10 is a power outlet, 11 is a power cord, 12 is a water supply pipe connection port of the water heater, 13 is a hot water supply pipe connection port of the water heater, 14 is a drain plug of the water heater, 15 is a wall surface, 16 is a screw, and 17 is a set screw.
[0013]
In FIG. 1, the piping box 2 has holes through which the gas piping 5, the water supply piping 7, and the hot water supply piping 9 penetrate on a surface other than the opening on the front surface (the lower surface of the piping box in the example in the figure). The main body 3 is fixed with screws 16. Further, the upper piping lid 4a can be secured to the piping cover body 3 and the lower piping lid 4b can be secured to the lower portion of the piping box 2 with a set screw 17, and the set screw 17 can be attached by hand, removed, and easily opened and closed. Of course, it is also possible to easily make the lid structure a door-type opening / closing structure using a hinge.
[0014]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the piping box 2 is mounted and fixed in a hole formed on the wall 15 on the side where the water heater 1 is attached. The gas pipe 5, the water supply pipe 7, and the hot water supply pipe 9 disposed inside the wall surface 15 are introduced into the pipe box 2 from holes (lower surface in the example in the figure) provided on the surface other than the front opening of the pipe box 2. The gas pipe 6 is connected to the gas pipe 5, and the water supply valve 8 is connected to the water supply pipe 7, and the hot water supply pipe 9 is connected to the water heater 1.
[0015]
The gas pipe 5, the water supply pipe 7, and the hot water supply pipe 9 connected from the front opening of the pipe box 2 to the water heater 1 naturally come out of the wall surface 15 at the upper part of the pipe box 2, but this part is covered. The pipe cover body 3 is fixed with screws 16 at the lower part of the water heater 1 and the upper part of the pipe box 2.
[0016]
Normally, when the water heater 1 is used, what is operated in the piping section is a drain for draining the water inside the water heater 1 attached to the water supply pipe connection port 12 and the hot water supply pipe connection port 13 of the water heater 1. The opening / closing of the stopper 14, the opening / closing of the gas cock 6, and the opening / closing of the water supply valve 8. In order to perform this operation easily, the upper piping lid 4a is fixed to the front opening of the piping cover body 3 and the lower piping lid 4b is fixed to the lower portion of the piping box 2 with the set screw 17, and the upper piping lid is easily formed by hand. 4a and lower piping lid 4b can be opened and closed.
[0017]
Moreover, since the power cord 11 taken out from the bottom surface of the water heater 1 can be connected to the power outlet 10 attached in the piping cover body 3 or the piping box 2, the power cord 11 is placed in the piping cover body 3 and the piping box 2. It fits and cannot be seen from the outside.
[0018]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, even if it is the structure of the piping lid 4 which made the upper piping lid 4a and the lower piping lid 4b integral, it becomes the same thing.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the pipe storage device according to claim 1 of the present invention, piping (for example, a valve, a gas cock, etc.) connected to the water heater can be stored in a pipe box embedded in the wall surface. The protruding part becomes compact only with the piping cover body, and the appearance is excellent in appearance.
[0020]
Further, in claim 2 of the present invention, by connecting a power cord for supplying power to the water heater to a power outlet attached to at least one of the piping cover body or the piping box, the power cord, the connecting portion, etc. Because it is not visible from the outside, it looks better.
