The impeller is arranged in the volute assembly, the motor is fixed to the volute assembly through the bracket assembly, and the motor shaft is connected to the impeller; the air inlet of the volute assembly is connected to the air outlet of the smoke hood; the smoke hood is provided with a guide plate inside, and the guide plate divides the inside of the smoke hood into a first smoke channel and a second smoke channel along the direction of the smoke. However, the bracket assembly has a simple structure and insufficient supporting force. It only connects the motor and the volute assembly. In subsequent use, the motor shakes at high speed, causing mechanical noise. Summary of the invention

[0004] The utility model provides a reinforcing bracket for a gas water heater fan, which is used for supporting a motor and preventing the motor from shaking and generating mechanical noise.

[0006] Preferably, flange reinforcement ribs are provided on both sides of the fitting.

[0007] Preferably, the fitting and the flange reinforcement rib are connected to form a fixing groove for fixing the motor bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the support member is provided with a plurality of first through holes, and the side surface of the smoke collecting hood is provided with a plurality of corresponding first locking holes, and the plurality of first through holes and the plurality of first locking holes are connected.

[0009] Preferably, the first through hole and the corresponding first locking hole are fixed by screws.

[0010] Preferably, a second through hole is provided on the fitting, and a corresponding second locking hole is provided on the motor bracket, and the second through hole and the second locking hole are communicated with each other.

[0011] Preferably, a bolt is installed between the second through hole and the second locking hole to fix the motor bracket and the fitting.

[0012] Preferably, the supporting member is perpendicular to the fitting member.

[0013] Preferably, a plurality of first locking holes are provided in the middle of the side surface of the smoke collecting hood.

[0014] Preferably, the supporting member and the fitting member are an integrally formed structure.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] A reinforcing bracket for a gas water heater fan, which connects a smoke hood and a motor, improves the stability of the entire water heater fan, and avoids mechanical noise caused by the shaking of the motor when it runs at high speed; flanged reinforcing ribs are provided on both sides of the fitting to enhance the overall structural strength of the reinforcing bracket, and the flanged reinforcing ribs prevent deformation or damage caused by excessive local stress, thereby improving its anti-deformation ability.

[0017] Furthermore, the two sides of the fitting are connected with the flange reinforcement ribs, which increases the stability of the structure and forms a fixing groove, so that the motor bracket can be firmly installed on the fitting. The installation stability and reliability of the motor bracket are improved, and the risk of loosening and damage caused by improper installation or vibration is reduced.

[0018] Furthermore, when the width of the fixing slot is the same as the width of the lower surface of the motor bracket, the reinforcing bracket can slide smoothly into the slot during installation without shaking or misalignment, which helps to avoid gaps that may be generated during installation, thereby reducing vibration and noise. When the reinforcing bracket is subjected to external forces or vibrations, it can better disperse and withstand these forces, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire structure.

[0019] Furthermore, the first through hole provided on the support member cooperates with the first locking hole on the side of the smoke hood to achieve a fixed connection between the support member and the smoke hood, providing a reliable guarantee for the stable installation and use of the smoke hood. A plurality of first through holes and a plurality of first locking holes are connected to achieve rapid assembly of the reinforced bracket.

[0020] Furthermore, the first through hole and the corresponding first locking hole are fixed by screws. This connection method is simple, practical, firm and reliable. It can effectively connect the support member and the smoke hood tightly together, and the screw connection has a high load-bearing capacity and shock resistance, which can ensure that the smoke hood remains stable when subjected to external forces or vibrations.

[0021] Furthermore, the second through hole and the second locking hole make the installation process of the motor bracket simpler and more efficient, reducing the difficulty and cost of installation. Through the fixing effect of the locking piece, the motor bracket can be firmly attached to the attachment piece, reducing the risk of loosening and displacement caused by vibration or external force.

[0022] Furthermore, a bolt is installed between the second through hole and the second locking hole to fix the motor bracket and the fitting. This fixing method not only ensures the stable installation of the motor bracket, but also improves the strength and stability of the entire structure. Since the bolt connection is adjustable, fine-tuning can be performed as needed during the actual installation process to ensure the precise fit between the motor bracket and the fitting.

[0023] Furthermore, the design of the support member being perpendicular to the fitting ensures the stability and strength of the structure. The vertical structure means that the support member provides solid support for the fitting member, preventing it from tilting or shaking, and can effectively support and fix the motor to ensure its stable operation. When the support member is perpendicular to the fitting member, the contact area between the two is maximized, allowing the fitting member to evenly disperse and withstand the weight and vibration from the motor bracket. This design helps reduce stress concentration and deformation, and improves the overall life and reliability of the structure.

[0024] Furthermore, several first locking holes are opened in the middle of the side of the smoke hood, ensuring that the connection between the smoke hood and the support is more uniform and firm. The several first locking holes effectively disperse the force and reduce the situation of excessive force at a single point, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire structure.

[0025] Furthermore, the seamless connection between the supporting part and the fitting part is ensured. This tight connection not only enhances the stability and strength of the entire structure, but also effectively prevents loosening or displacement that may occur during use; it effectively supports and fixes the motor to prevent shaking and noise; and the one-piece molding structure simplifies the production process, reduces production costs, and improves production efficiency.

[0032] The following is an explanation and description of the technical scheme of the embodiment of the utility model in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiment of the utility model, but the following embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, not all. Based on the embodiment in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0033] In the following description, terms such as "inside", "outside", "up", "down", "left", "right", etc. that indicate directions or positional relationships are only used to facilitate the description of the embodiments and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing bracket for a gas water heater fan is assembled between a smoke hood 3 and a motor 4, which is convenient for operators to install and disassemble; the reinforcing bracket includes a support member 1 and a fitting member 2, the support member 1 is perpendicular to the fitting member 2, ensuring the stability and strength of the structure, and the support member provides a solid support for the fitting member to prevent it from tilting or shaking, and reduce noise and vibration caused by loose or deformed structure; the support member 1 and the fitting member 2 are an integrally formed structure, which ensures a seamless connection between the support member 1 and the fitting member 2, which enhances the stability and strength of the entire structure and effectively prevents loosening or displacement that may occur during use.

[0035] Among them, the support member 1 of the reinforcing bracket is connected to the side of the smoke hood 3, which enhances the structural stability of the smoke hood; the smoke hood 3 is usually a key component in the gas water heater, responsible for collecting and discharging exhaust gas generated by combustion, so its stability is crucial. By strengthening the support of the bracket, the smoke hood 3 can better withstand the vibration and force generated by the operation of the fan and extend its service life. The fitting 2 is connected to the lower surface of the motor bracket 4-1 provided on the motor 4. This design effectively fixes the motor 4 on the reinforcing bracket. The motor is the core component of the gas water heater fan, and its stable operation is crucial to the performance of the entire water heater. The reinforcing bracket is tightly connected to the motor bracket 4-1 through the fitting 2 to ensure the stability and safety of the motor 4 during operation.

[0036] Furthermore, flanged reinforcing ribs 2-1 are provided on both sides of the fitting 2, which not only enhance the overall structural strength of the reinforcing bracket, but also improve its anti-deformation ability. The design of the flanged reinforcing ribs 2-1 enables the bracket to better disperse stress when subjected to external force, preventing deformation or damage caused by excessive local stress.

[0037] Among them, the two sides of the fitting 2 are vertically connected to the flange reinforcement rib 2-1, ensuring that the connection between the fitting 2 and the flange reinforcement rib 2-1 is firm and not prone to deformation or displacement. The vertical connection increases the overall strength and stability of the structure, enabling it to withstand a larger load; the fitting 2 and the flange reinforcement rib 2-1 are connected to form a fixing groove 5 for fixing the motor bracket 4-1. The width of the fixing groove 5 is equal to the width of the lower surface of the motor bracket 4-1, so that the motor bracket 4-1 can be accurately placed in the fixing groove 5 and fit tightly therewith, ensuring the stable installation of the motor bracket 4-1 and avoiding the problem of shaking or installation difficulty caused by width mismatch.

[0038] The first through hole 1-1 is a circular or other shaped hole pre-opened on the support 1. There are usually multiple first through holes 1-1. In this embodiment, there are two first through holes 1-1. Correspondingly, the side of the smoke hood is also provided with the same number, position and shape of first locking holes 3-1. These first locking holes 3-1 correspond to the first through holes 1-1 on the support, so that when the smoke hood 3 is placed on the support 1, the first through holes 1-1 and the first locking holes 3-1 can be aligned with each other.

[0039] Furthermore, several first locking holes 3-1 are provided in the middle of the side of the smoke hood 3. During the installation process, the operators can more easily find and correspond the first locking holes 3-1 in the middle, and fix them with screws and other fixing parts, which simplifies the installation steps and improves work efficiency. There are usually multiple first locking holes 3-1, and two are provided in this embodiment. The provision of several first locking holes 3-1 can ensure that the connection between the smoke hood 3 and the support member 1 is more uniform and firm. By reasonably distributing the position and number of the first locking holes 3-1, the force can be effectively dispersed, and the situation of excessive force at a single point can be reduced, thereby improving the stability and durability of the entire structure.

[0040] Furthermore, when the first through hole 1-1 and the first locking hole 3-1 are connected, a fixing member such as a screw can be passed through the first through hole 1-1 and screwed into the first locking hole 3-1, thereby firmly connecting the support member 1 to the smoke hood 3. This connection method is not only simple and effective, but also has high stability and reliability.

[0041] The fitting 2 is provided with a second through hole 2-2, and the motor support 4-1 is provided with a corresponding second locking hole 4-1-1, and the second through hole 2-2 and the second locking hole 4-1-1 realize the fixed connection between the fitting and the motor support 4-1. The second through hole 2-2 is usually pre-opened on the fitting 2, and its position and layout correspond to the second locking hole 4-1-1 on the motor support 4-1. When the motor support 4-1 is placed on the fitting 2, the second through hole 2-2 and the second locking hole 4-1-1 are aligned with each other, which provides convenience for subsequent fixing operations. When the second through hole 2-2 and the second locking hole 4-1-1 are connected, they can be fixed with fixing parts such as bolts. The screw passes through the second through hole 2-2 and is screwed into the second locking hole 4-1-1, and is fixed with a nut. Bolt fixing improves the strength and stability of the entire structure, and is convenient for operators to disassemble and replace during assembly or overhaul and maintenance.

[0042] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model includes but is not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the above specific implementation.
