Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of solar heater technology, and more particularly to a wind-resistant support for a solar water tank. Background Technology

[0002] Solar water heaters are heating devices that convert solar energy into heat energy, heating water from low to high temperatures to meet people's needs for hot water in daily life and production. Solar water heaters are classified into evacuated tube solar water heaters and flat-plate solar water heaters according to their structure, with evacuated tube solar water heaters being the dominant type, accounting for 95% of the domestic market share. A evacuated tube household solar water heater consists of collector tubes, a storage tank, and supporting components. The conversion of solar energy into heat energy mainly relies on the evacuated collector tubes. These tubes utilize the principle that hot water rises and cold water sinks, creating a micro-circulation of the water to obtain the desired hot water.

[0003] When installing a solar water heater, a support frame is required. However, ordinary support frames are not very wind-resistant and the stability of the water tank is relatively poor, making it easy for them to be blown over by strong winds. Therefore, we have proposed a wind-resistant support frame for solar water tanks. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a wind-resistant support for a solar water tank to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0005] This application provides a wind-resistant support for a solar water tank, comprising:

[0006] The circular arc support plate is provided in two. The lower left and right sides of the circular arc support plate are fixedly connected to the brackets. The four corner legs of the brackets are fixedly sleeved with the base by bolts. The lower side wall of the base is fixedly connected to the fixed base plate.

[0007] A reinforcing ring is provided, with an elastic rubber protective strip fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the reinforcing ring. A pull rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower end of the reinforcing ring. The lower end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to a threaded pull rod through a connector. The lower end of the threaded pull rod is threadedly inserted into the interior of the cylindrical shell.

[0008] Preferably, the lower part of the opposite side of the arc support plate is fixedly connected to a limiting block, and the pull rod is movably inserted through the middle of the limiting block.

[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the cylindrical shell is fixedly connected to the upper end of the corresponding fixed base plate, and the cylindrical shell has a threaded groove inside.

[0010] Preferably, a nut is fixedly sleeved on the upper outer side of the threaded tie rod.

[0011] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly connected to the lower part between the brackets on the right side.

[0012] Preferably, reinforcing rods are also fixedly connected between the brackets.

[0013] Preferably, the upper end of the threaded tie rod is inserted into the inside of the connector via a bearing.

[0014] Preferably, each of the fixed base plates has a fixing hole in the middle.

[0015] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0016] The structure provided in this application embodiment involves attaching reinforcing rings to both ends of the solar water tank and fixing the base plate of the overall bracket to the cement ground using expansion bolts. After the solar water tank and heating pipe are installed, the nuts are tightened using external tools, causing the threaded pull rod and threaded groove to engage and move downwards. This downward movement of the pull rod pulls the reinforcing rings downwards, which in turn presses down on both ends of the installed solar water tank. This makes the installation and positioning of the solar water tank more secure and greatly increases its wind resistance. Attached Figure Description

[0025] like Figures 1-2As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a wind-resistant support for a solar water tank, including:

[0026] Arc support plate 1, two arc support plates 1 are provided, and brackets 2 are fixedly connected to the lower left and right sides of the arc support plate 1. The four corner legs of the brackets 2 are fixedly sleeved with bases 3 by bolts. The lower side wall of the base 3 is fixedly connected to a fixed base plate 4.

[0027] A reinforcing ring 9 is provided, with an elastic rubber protective strip 8 fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the reinforcing ring 9. A pull rod 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower end of the reinforcing ring 9. The lower end of the pull rod 7 is rotatably connected to a threaded pull rod 13 through a connector 11. The lower end of the threaded pull rod 13 is threadedly inserted into the interior of the cylindrical housing 14.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the lower part of the opposite side of the arc support plate 1 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 6, and the pull rod 7 is movably inserted through the middle of the limiting block 6.

[0029] Specifically: the limiting block 6 can stabilize the vertical displacement of the pull rod 7.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the lower end of the cylindrical shell 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the corresponding fixed base plate 4, and the cylindrical shell 14 has a threaded groove 15 inside.

[0031] Specifically: the threaded groove 15 is for inserting the threaded tie rod 13, and the threaded tie rod 13 is positioned in real time after it rotates.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a nut 12 is fixedly sleeved on the upper outer side of the threaded tie rod 13.

[0033] Specifically: Nut 12 can be turned by external tools to tighten threaded rod 13.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a support plate 10 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the brackets 2 on the right side.

[0035] Specifically: the support plate 10 is for supporting the heating tube connected to the solar energy.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, reinforcing rods are also fixedly connected between the brackets 2.

[0037] Specifically: the reinforcing rod can increase the overall strength of the bracket 2.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the threaded tie rod 13 is inserted into the interior of the connector 11 via a bearing.

[0039] Specifically: the rotation of threaded tie rod 13 will not cause tie rod 7 to rotate.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, each of the fixed base plates 4 has a fixing hole 5 in the middle.

[0041] Specifically: the fixing hole 5 can be fixedly connected to the cement floor by an expansion wire.

[0042] Principle: When using the equipment, the two ends of the solar water tank are fitted with reinforcing rings 9, and the fixed base plate 4 of the overall bracket is fixed to the cement ground with expansion bolts. After the solar water tank and heating pipe are installed, the nuts 12 are tightened with external tools, so that the threaded tie rod 13 and the threaded groove 15 cooperate with each other, causing the threaded tie rod 13 to move downward, which in turn causes the tie rod 7 to move downward, pulling the reinforcing ring 9 downward. This downward movement of the reinforcing ring 9 compresses the two ends of the installed solar water tank, making the installation and positioning of the solar water tank more secure and greatly increasing the wind resistance of the solar water tank.

[0043] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features claimed in this application.
