Specific embodiments

[0033] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Embodiment

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , a steplessly adjustable water outlet unit fixing device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the device includes a fixing member 1. The fixing member 1 is formed with a notch 13 with one end open. The two sides of the notch 13 are bent to form a vertical surface portion 11 and two bending portions 12. Waist-shaped holes 121 extending along their respective long directions are respectively formed on the two bending portions 12. The part of the notch 13 located on the vertical surface portion is used to support the first end of the water outlet elbow 4. When the fixing member is actually manufactured, a bendable plate can be used through a punching process. First, the notch is punched, and then the parts on both sides of the open end can be bent at appropriate positions as needed. After bending, the vertical surface portion and the bending portion can be in a perpendicular relative state. The waist-shaped hole can ensure that the bolt pair can move freely along its long direction, so that the bolt pair adjusts the position to realize the variable position limitation of the clamping assembly.

[0036] The clamping and fixing assembly 2 is used to be sleeved on the outer side of the water outlet elbow 3 so as to limit the second end of the water outlet elbow. The clamping and fixing assembly provided in this application can adopt any clamping fixture in the prior art that can limit the water outlet elbow. For example, a clamping fixture in the form of a fixing through hole provided in the middle and connecting ears provided at both ends can be adopted. When using a clamping fixture with a fixed structure, it needs to be pre-sleeved on the water outlet elbow in advance, which is troublesome in construction and not conducive to subsequent disassembly and maintenance. In order to achieve the purpose of simple installation, two independent clamping members 21 can be provided in the clamping and fixing assembly 2 of this application embodiment; the two clamping members 21 are arranged oppositely on the outer side of the second end of the water outlet elbow 4 to limit the second end of the water outlet elbow 4. By adopting a split clamping fixture, the fixing member can be connected to the decorative panel and then the clamping and fixing assembly can be installed, so that both the purpose of convenient installation can be achieved, and at the same time, after the positions of the pipe and the fixing member are fixed, the length of the end face included in the first end of the water outlet elbow protruding from the vertical surface portion can be adjusted more accurately, and the accurate position adjustment can be completed at one time. In order to ensure that the clamping and fixing assembly can firmly clamp the second end of the water outlet elbow, the clamping member 21 includes an arc section 211 and two straight sections 212 located at both ends of the arc section 211; semi-circular notches 213 are respectively formed in the two straight sections 212, and the two clamping members 21 are arranged oppositely on the outer side of the second end of the water outlet elbow 4, and the semi-circular notches 213 included in the opposite straight sections are combined to form a through hole for a bolt pair to pass through. Further, in order to prevent relative radial movement between the two clamping members, a serrated structure 214 is formed in the part of the straight section 212 outside the semi-circular notch 213.

[0037] Wherein, the clamping and fixing assembly 2 is respectively connected to the waist-shaped holes 121 on the two bending parts 12 through bolt pairs 3, and the position of the bolt pairs 3 in the waist-shaped holes 121 is adjusted to realize the length of the end face included in the first end of the water outlet elbow 4 protruding from the vertical surface part 11.

[0038] In order to facilitate the connection between the fixing member and the decorative panel, fixing through holes 111 are respectively formed on both sides of the notch 13 on the vertical surface part 11, and the fixing through holes 111 are used for fixing screws to pass through so as to realize the connection between the vertical surface part 11 and the decorative panel 5. In order to improve the limiting stability of the notch to the first end of the water outlet elbow, a U-shaped structure is formed at one end of the notch on the vertical surface part. The width of the U-shaped structure can be adapted to the outer diameter of the first end of the water outlet elbow.

[0039] The infinitely adjustable water outlet unit fixing device provided by the present application can achieve infinitely adjustable extension length of the water outlet elbow and adapt to back-mounted solutions for decorative panels of various thicknesses. The entire installation process does not involve polluting operations such as on-site cutting and drilling. The on-site cleanliness is good. And since each module has been standardized in design and processing, on-site only splicing according to the instructions is required, which can greatly improve the decoration efficiency, save time, and can be disassembled at any time, enabling the reuse of pipes, fittings, and wall finishing materials, which is conducive to sustainable development.

[0040] As Figure 5 shown, an embodiment of the present application can also provide an installation structure including the above-mentioned infinitely adjustable water outlet unit fixing device, including:

[0041] A decorative panel 5, on which a pipe interface is opened; the pipe interface can be opened at the factory according to the designed position when the decorative panel leaves the factory.

[0042] A water outlet elbow 4, the water outlet elbow 4 is connected to the back of the decorative panel 5 through the water unit fixing device; the first end of the water outlet elbow 4 is opposite to the pipe interface; the water outlet elbow 4 can be an internal thread elbow.

[0043] A pipe 6, the pipe 6 is connected to the back of the decorative panel 5; one end of the pipe 6 is connected to the second end of the water outlet elbow 4; the pipe 6 can be connected to the decorative panel in various ways. Specifically, an embodiment of the present application can provide that the pipe 6 is connected to the back of the decorative panel 5 through a wire pipe saddle clamp 7. To improve the heat preservation performance of the pipe, a heat preservation layer 8 is wrapped outside the pipe.

[0044] Among them, adjust the position of the bolt pair 3 in the waist-shaped hole 121 so that the end face included in the first end of the water outlet elbow 4 is flush with the outer finish face of the decorative panel 5.

[0045] When this structure is in use, first prefabricate and open a pipe interface on the decorative panel according to the water supply point in the factory. After connecting the pipe to the internal thread elbow, fix it on the back of the decorative panel with a saddle clamp. After clamping the fixing part on the internal thread elbow, nail it to the back of the decorative panel. Then butt-connect the two split-type clamping parts to firmly hold the upper part of the internal thread elbow. Insert the bolt pair into the waist-shaped holes on the split-type clamping part and the fixing part but do not lock. After adjusting the internal thread elbow back and forth to be flush with the outer finish face of the decorative panel, lock the bolt pair. After the pipeline integrated installation is completed, then install the decorative panel on-site and connect the back pipe to the top reserved pipe to complete the installation of the water supply system pipeline. The back-mounted internal thread elbow can use an infinitely adjustable method to keep the port flush with the outer finish face when installed with decorative panels of various thicknesses.
