[0030] Depend on Figure 1-6 The present invention relates to a modular PTC electric heater support bracket system, comprising two support units, which are fixedly arranged between multiple connecting frames; the support unit comprises a bottom plate 1, a top plate 2, a lifting electric push rod 3 and a clamping mechanism, the lifting electric push rod 3 is fixedly arranged on the bottom plate 1, the top plate 2 is fixedly arranged on the output end of the lifting electric push rod 3, and the clamping mechanism is arranged on the top plate 2;

[0031] The clamping mechanism includes a power electric push rod 4, a power plate 5, two connecting rods 6, two sliding blocks 7 and two clamping members, wherein the power electric push rod 4 is fixedly arranged on the power plate 5, and the output end of the power electric push rod 4 is fixedly arranged on the top plate 2, the rod hole on the power plate 5 is slidably matched with the lifting electric push rod 3, the two sides of the power plate 5 are respectively hinged with the two sliding blocks 7 through two connecting rods 6, the two sliding blocks 7 are symmetrically slidably arranged on the top plate 2, and the two clamping members are respectively fixedly arranged on the two sliding blocks 7;

[0032] With such a design, when in use, the top plate 2 is first driven down to a suitable height by the lifting electric push rod 3 to lower the height of the PTC electric heater during installation, and then the PTC electric heater is placed on the top plate 2 by hoisting or other means, and then the top plate 2 is raised to the required height by the lifting electric push rod 3, and then the power plate 5 is driven to move by the power electric push rod 4, and the power plate 5 drives the two sliding blocks 7 to move through the two connecting rods 6, and the corresponding clamping parts are driven to move by the sliding blocks 7, and the PTC electric heater is clamped and fixed by the clamping parts.

[0033] It should be noted that the support unit and the connecting frame are fixed by bolts, so during transportation, the two support units and the connecting frame can be disassembled to achieve modular assembly and disassembly, thereby reducing the space occupied during transportation.

[0036] With such a design, when in use, the sliding block 7 drives the mounting plate 10 to move, the mounting plate 10 drives the side plate 11 to move, the side plate 11 drives the clamping plate 12 to move, and the PTC electric heater is clamped and fixed by the clamping plate 12; since the side plate 11 can slide along the mounting plate 10, even if there is a deviation in the installation position of the PTC electric heater, the clamping plate 12 can automatically fit on the outer wall of the PTC electric heater to ensure the stability of the clamping; and since liquid is provided inside the side plate 11, under the transmission of liquid pressure, the force at the upper and lower ends of the clamping plate 12 and the contact position with the PTC electric heater can be equal, thereby avoiding uneven clamping force and reducing the stability of the PTC electric heater during installation.

After the liquid is pressurized, it passes through the conduit and the connecting groove 22 in sequence and enters the interior of the installation groove 23, and squeezes the sliding column 27, so that the sliding column 27 drives the clamping rod 26 to extend out of the installation groove 23 and clamp with the corresponding clamping groove 24, and at the same time, the lateral spring 28 is compressed; in this way, the locking between the lower rod body 21 and the upper cylinder body 20 can be achieved, and after the installation is completed, it can be supported by the lower rod body 21 and the upper cylinder body 20, and there is no need to keep the lifting electric push rod 3 in a working state all the time, which plays a good protective role for the lifting electric push rod 3.

[0044] In this design, the screw rod 33 is driven to rotate by the rotating rod 34, and the screw rod 33 drives the limit block 31 to slide in the limit groove 30 through the thread, and the limit block 31 drives the moving wheel 32 thereon to move, so that when it is necessary to move, the moving wheel 32 extends out of the limit groove 30, and when it is not necessary to move, the moving wheel 32 is stored in the inside of the limit groove 30.

[0045] Specifically, a support platform 35 is fixedly provided on the top plate 2 , an arc-shaped groove 36 is formed on the support platform 35 , and a rubber pad is fixedly provided inside the arc-shaped groove 36 .
