[0002] Solar water heaters include wall-mounted solar water heaters and integrated solar water heaters. Wall-mounted solar water heaters are designed and developed for small high-rise residential buildings. The water tanks are placed on balconies, roofs, walls and other places. The collectors of wall-mounted solar water heaters are placed on the balcony, windows, roofs and walls of the south facade of the building, which makes up for the regret that traditional solar water heaters cannot be integrated with buildings and the environment due to their inherent deficiencies. Collectors can be divided into ceramic solar panels, copper-aluminum composite heat-absorbing panels, all-copper heat-absorbing panels, and stainless steel heat-absorbing panels according to the materials.
[0003] In order to absorb heat efficiently, existing ceramic solar panels are usually installed on balcony railings, and the solar panels are extended from the balcony to better absorb heat. Since the material of the ceramic solar panels themselves is relatively fragile, they are easily damaged when encountering severe weather (hail). In addition, the ceramic solar panels are exposed to the air for a long time, and are exposed to the sun and rain, resulting in damage to the heat absorption capacity, affecting customer use. Therefore, a solar water heater protection bracket is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] Furthermore, the fixing assembly includes a first sliding rod and a second sliding rod, the first sliding rod is fixedly installed on one side surface of the mounting plate, the second sliding rod is welded to the outer side of the first sliding rod, the first sliding rod and the second sliding rod are vertically arranged, and the first sliding rod and the second sliding rod are both slidably connected with a sleeve, one side surface of the sleeve is rotatably connected to a socket, the side of the socket away from the sleeve is open, and a hand-tightened screw is arranged on the socket.
[0006] Furthermore, the lengths of the three connecting arms gradually increase in the clockwise rotation direction of the main frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive motor, which is fixedly mounted on a side surface of the main frame. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a gear shaft via a coupling. A mounting arm is fixedly mounted on a side surface of the sub-frame close to the main frame. The mounting arm is provided with an internal tooth groove that meshes with the gear shaft, and the gear shaft is located in the internal tooth groove.
[0008] Furthermore, cross-shaped reinforcing ribs are welded on both the main frame and the sub-frame.
[0009] Furthermore, a protective layer is provided on the surface of the main frame and the auxiliary frame on one side away from the ceramic solar panel.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model can quickly install the mounting plate on the balcony guardrail by setting a fixing component, and it is also easy to disassemble. Three connecting arms of different lengths are set. After the sub-frame is rotated to coincide with the mounting plate, the three sub-frames are stacked together in sequence, so as to provide all-round surrounding protection for the ceramic solar panel, avoid direct rain, increase the service life of the ceramic solar panel, and improve the customer experience.
