[0023] During use, first place the water outlet pipe 3 in the limit card slot 2 of the fixed base plate 1 to ensure that the water outlet pipe 3 is stably placed. Then, according to the size and position of the water outlet pipe 3, adjust multiple groups of positioning components 5 to make them closely fit with the water outlet pipe 3, thereby realizing the fixation of the water outlet pipe 3. During the adjustment process, the guiding rods 4 and the sliding grooves 6 can be used to guide the positioning components 5 to move along the sliding grooves 6 easily. After the fixation is completed, check the stability of the water outlet pipe 3 to ensure that there is no loosening or deviation. If necessary, the positioning components 5 and the fastening device can be adjusted again to achieve the best fixation effect, effectively preventing water leakage caused by the loosening or deviation of the water outlet pipe 6, and improving the stability and service life of the air conditioning system.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As an embodiment of the present utility model, the positioning component 5 includes a movable seat 501, wherein the movable seat 501 is an arched structure with an opening at the lower end; two sides of the lower end of the movable seat 501 are respectively provided with sliders 502, wherein the sliders 502 are arranged below the guiding rods 4; one end of the slider 502 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the movable seat 501, and the other end of the slider 502 extends towards the side of the fixed base plate 1 and is arranged in the sliding groove 6; an internal threaded hole 503 is opened at the upper end of the movable seat 501, and an adjusting screw rod 504 is threadedly connected in the internal threaded hole 503; a rotating handle 505 is provided at the upper end of the adjusting screw rod 504, and the lower end of the adjusting screw rod 504 penetrates through the internal threaded hole 503 and is connected with a fixing block 506.

[0025] In the above-mentioned solution, the movable seat 501 is the main body of the positioning component 5. The movable seat 501 is designed as an arched structure with an opening at the lower end to adapt to the shape of the water outlet pipe 3 and provide stable support; two sides of the lower end of the movable seat 501 are respectively provided with sliders 502.

This design allows the movable seat 501 to slide and position smoothly under the guidance of the guiding rods 4 and the sliding grooves 6; an internal threaded hole 503 is opened at the upper end of the movable seat 501. The internal threaded hole 503 is used to connect the adjusting screw rod 504. The adjusting screw rod 504 is a key component of the positioning component 5. The lower end of the adjusting screw rod 504 penetrates through the internal threaded hole 503 of the movable seat and is connected with the fixing block 506. The fixing block 506 is used to contact the water outlet pipe 3 and apply a fixing force to ensure the stability of the water outlet pipe 3. For convenient operation, a rotating handle 506 is provided at the upper end of the adjusting screw rod 504. The user can easily rotate the adjusting screw rod 504 by rotating the rotating handle 506 to realize the adjustment of the fixing block 506.

[0026] During installation, first place the outlet pipe 3 in the limit card slot 2 of the fixed bottom plate 1, and move the movable seat 501 of the positioning component 5 along the guide rod 4 and the sliding groove 6 to an appropriate position to ensure that the movable seat 501 can cover the upper part of the outlet pipe 3. Then, rotate the rotating handle 505 of the adjusting screw rod 504 to move the adjusting screw rod 504 downward, thereby driving the fixed block 506 to move downward. When the fixed block 506 contacts the outlet pipe 3, continue to rotate the adjusting screw rod 504 to make the fixed block 506 apply an appropriate pressure to the outlet pipe 3, thereby fixing the position of the outlet pipe 3. After the fixing is completed, the user needs to check the stability of the outlet pipe 3 to ensure that there is no loosening or deviation. If loosening or deviation is found, the user can strengthen the fixing by adjusting the adjusting screw rod 504 of the positioning component 5 again. Due to the combined use of the movable seat 501 and the adjusting screw rod 204, the positioning component 5 can adapt to outlet pipes 3 of different sizes. The user only needs to adjust the position and fixing force of the movable seat 501 according to the size of the outlet pipe 3 to achieve stable fixing of outlet pipes 3 of different sizes.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 4 , as an embodiment of the present utility model, an arc-shaped pressing surface 7 is provided at the lower end of the fixed block 506, and the arc-shaped pressing surface 7 is attached to the upper end surface of the outlet pipe 3.

[0028] In the above-mentioned solution, during the installation process, first place the outlet pipe 3 in the limit card slot 2 of the fixed bottom plate 1 to ensure that the outlet pipe 3 is stably placed in the limit card slot 2. Then, drive the movable seat 501 to move along the guide rod 4 and the sliding groove 6 to an appropriate position so that the movable seat 501 can cover the upper part of the outlet pipe 3. Rotate the rotating handle 505 of the adjusting screw rod 504 to move the adjusting screw rod 504 downward, driving the fixed block 506 to move downward. When the arc-shaped pressing surface 7 of the fixed block 506 contacts the upper end surface of the outlet pipe 3, continue to rotate the adjusting screw rod 504 to make the arc-shaped pressing surface 7 apply an appropriate pressure to the outlet pipe 3. The attachment of the arc-shaped pressing surface 7 to the upper end surface of the outlet pipe 3 enables the fixed block 506 to apply pressure evenly on the upper end surface of the outlet pipe 3, thereby achieving a stable fixing effect. This uniform pressure distribution not only improves the stability of the fixing of the outlet pipe 3 but also avoids damage to the outlet pipe 3 caused by pressure concentration. During the fixing process, the user can appropriately adjust the rotation angle of the adjusting screw rod 504 according to needs to adjust the pressure magnitude of the fixed block on the outlet pipe 3. This adjustability enables the fixing device to adapt to outlet pipes 3 of different diameters and materials, improving the versatility and adaptability of the device.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 4 , as an embodiment of the present utility model, a movable groove 8 is provided at the upper end of the fixed block 506, and the lower end of the adjusting screw rod 504 is arranged in the movable groove 8 and is rotatably connected thereto.

[0030] In the above-described solution, the movable groove 8 at the upper end of the fixed block 506 is designed to allow the adjusting screw 504 to rotate within the movable groove 8 without affecting the stability of the fixed block 506 itself. This design enables the adjusting screw 504 to be flexibly adjusted while ensuring the fixing effect between the fixed block 506 and the water outlet pipe 3. The lower end of the adjusting screw 504 is disposed within the movable groove 8 and is rotatably connected to the movable groove 8, so that the rotation of the adjusting screw 504 can control the lifting and lowering of its lower end portion within the fixed block 506, thereby adjusting the pressure of the fixed block 506 on the water outlet pipe 3. Through the rotational connection design of the movable groove 8 and the adjusting screw 504, the positioning assembly 5 can flexibly adjust the pressure and spacing between the fixed block 506 and the water outlet pipe 3. By rotating the rotating handle 505 of the adjusting screw 504, the stability and safety of the water outlet pipe 3 are ensured. At the same time, this design also allows the user to readjust the fixing effect when needed to adapt to different usage environments and requirements.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 4 , as an embodiment of the present utility model, the fixed block 506 is made of wear-resistant plastic, and a rubber sleeve 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed block 506.

[0032] In the above-described solution, the fixed block 506 is made of wear-resistant plastic material because wear-resistant plastic has good mechanical strength, wear resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. These characteristics enable the fixed block 506 to withstand the pressure and friction from the water outlet pipe 3 for a long time and maintain a stable fixing effect. By sleeving the rubber sleeve 9 on the outer wall of the fixed block 506, it is mainly to increase the friction between the fixed block 506 and the water outlet pipe 3 and enhance the fixing stability. At the same time, the softness of the rubber sleeve 9 can also buffer the small displacement of the water outlet pipe 3 caused by vibration or temperature change, preventing loosening and water leakage. This design effectively prevents the loosening and water leakage of the water outlet pipe 3 and improves the operating efficiency and safety of the air conditioning system.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3 , as an embodiment of the present utility model, the cross-section of the limit card slot 2 is a semi-circular structure, and a rubber pad 10 is provided on the inner wall of the limit card slot 2, and anti-slip lines 11 are provided on the rubber pad 10.

[0034] In the above-described solution, the cross-section of the limit card slot 2 is designed as a semi-circular structure. This design is conducive to matching with the water outlet pipe 3 or components of a similar shape to ensure stable and accurate positioning. A rubber pad 10 is provided on the inner wall of the limit card slot 2. Rubber materials have good elasticity, wear resistance, and sealing properties. The addition of the rubber pad 10 can further increase the friction between the limit card slot 2 and the water outlet pipe 3, preventing the water outlet pipe 3 from sliding or shaking within the limit card slot 2. The presence of the rubber pad 10 can significantly increase the friction between the limit card slot 2 and the water outlet pipe 3, thereby improving the stability of the fixation of the water outlet pipe 3. Moreover, the elasticity of the rubber pad 10 can buffer the small displacements of the water outlet pipe 3 caused by vibration or temperature changes, reducing the wear and loosening of the water outlet pipe 3. By providing anti-slip patterns 11 on the rubber pad 10, the friction with the water outlet pipe 3 can be further increased to ensure that the water outlet pipe 3 remains stable within the limit card slot 2. The design of the anti-slip patterns 11 generally includes raised textures, grooves, or granular structures. The presence of the anti-slip patterns 11 can also prevent the rubber pad 10 from wearing and aging due to long-term use, extending its service life.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , as an embodiment of the present utility model, mounting plates 12 are respectively provided on both side edges of the fixed base plate 1. One side edge of the mounting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the fixed base plate 1, and screw holes 13 are provided on the mounting plate 12.

[0036] In the above-described solution, the mounting plates 12 are arranged on both side edges of the fixed base plate 1 for mounting the fixing device on a wall, bracket, or other fixed structures. The mounting plates 12 have a certain strength and stiffness to bear the load from the fixing device. The purpose of providing the screw holes 13 on the mounting plates 12 is to tightly connect the mounting plates 12 to the fixed structures such as walls and brackets using screws. The number and positions of the screw holes 13 are designed according to actual requirements to ensure the stability and firmness of the fixing device. This design not only improves the stability and firmness of the fixing device but also simplifies the installation process and reduces the installation difficulty.
