Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water heater installation, in particular to a water heater hanger. Background Art

[0002] At present, storage electric water heaters are mainly divided into those with a cylindrical shell and those with a box-shaped shell. The cylindrical electric water heaters also include flat-cylindrical electric water heaters. The cylindrical-shell electric water heaters have a relatively high popularity rate. Among them, the cylindrical shell is mainly formed by rolling a metal plate with a machine tool, and the box-shaped shell is mainly formed by blow-molding with a plastic raw material after heating with a mold.

[0003] Among them, for the storage electric water heater with a box-shaped shell, such as in the patent "A Wall-mounted Device" (201520911193.6), the hanger corresponding to it in the embodiment is for a box-shaped electric water heater. The water tank is arranged in the box-shaped shell, and the hanger is installed on the detachable rear shell of the shell. The bent part at the upper end of the hanger is hung on the upper edge of the wall-mounted board, and the wall-mounted board is installed on the wall. However, this kind of hanger can only provide one installation method of hanging the water heater on the wall, and its installation method is relatively single. Moreover, after the water tank stores water, the shell bears the weight of the water tank and the water in the tank. Further, the hanger installed on the rear shell bears these weights. Since most of the shells of these box-shaped electric water heaters are made of plastic materials, this poses a relatively high requirement for the quality of the shell, and relatively high strength is required to bear the weight of the water tank and the water in the tank. In particular, the strength of the shell at the part where the hanger is installed is more important.

[0004] For the residents living in the building, the bathroom and the shower room generally share the same room, and basically all residents will decorate the bathroom including ceiling and so on. The electric water heater is generally installed on the wall behind the ceiling. For the residents with relatively high aesthetic requirements, the exposed water heater body and pipelines on the wall behind the ceiling make the already small space in the bathroom look more crowded, thus affecting people's visual experience. This installation method of installing the water heater on the wall is too single, making the installation methods that users can choose seem single. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, for the brackets of general box-type storage water heaters, most of them are wall-mounted methods for installing the water heaters on the wall. Regarding the problem that users have too single a choice for this installation method, or the above-mentioned problem that the brackets of these box-type storage water heaters have relatively high requirements for the strength of the shell, the present utility model provides a bracket mainly adapted to box-type storage water heaters to solve or improve the above problems or one of them. When the bracket is set on the shell, it is divided into an inner part of the shell and an outer part of the shell. Among them, the inner part of the shell is provided with a hanging bracket and a support bracket, and the outer part of the shell is provided with a bottom bracket and a suspension rod. The hanging plate in the support bracket is connected to the rear wall plate of the shell through a connecting piece. Both ends of the arc-shaped hanging plate in the bracket are respectively connected to the bearing plate of the support bracket and the top plate of the shell. The bearing plate and the arc plate in the support bracket of this bracket directly bear the weight of the inner tank body of the water heater. This weight is either conducted to the bottom bracket fixed on the top wall through the bearing plate, the arc-shaped hanging plate and the suspension rod in the support bracket respectively, or conducted to the bottom bracket fixed on the wall through the bearing plate, the hanging plate and the suspension rod in the support bracket respectively. At this time, the shell is mainly used to accommodate the tank body and fix the hanging plate in the bracket to the rear wall plate of the shell respectively through connecting pieces including screws, and fix one end of the arc-shaped hanging plate to the top plate of the shell, and an insulating layer is provided between the arc plate of the support bracket and the tank body to prevent the heat of the tank body from being conducted to the outside through the support bracket. This bracket has general requirements for the strength of the shell, and users can choose to hoist or wall-mount the box-type storage water heater on the top surface of a room including a bathroom or on the wall of a room including a bathroom according to different scenarios and wishes, which gives users one more choice and can thus meet the needs of certain different users. Further, when the bathroom ceiling is decorated, the hoisted water heater and its pipelines can be hidden inside the ceiling, making the bathroom look cleaner and more beautiful.

[0034] Specifically, the hanging bracket 6 includes an arc-shaped hanging plate, which is an arc-shaped plate body with a certain curvature and strength. The plate surfaces at both top ends of the arc-shaped hanging plate are both folded in the same direction parallel to the center of the arc of the arc surface of the arc-shaped hanging plate, respectively extending equal-length folded plates, and threaded holes 7 and positioning holes 10 are respectively arranged at intervals on the opposite folded plates. The inner circumferential walls of the threaded holes 7 on the folded plates are all provided with screws, and the hole diameters and screw directions of the threaded holes 7 on the folded plates are respectively adapted to the hole diameters and screw directions of the threaded holes 7 on the support frame. Moreover, the hole diameter of the rectangular installation hole provided on the bearing plate 13 of the support frame is slightly larger than the hole diameter of the threaded hole 7 on the hanging bracket 6.

[0035] Specifically, the support frame is formed by perpendicularly fixing the inner end port of the bearing plate 13 and one side end plate surface of the hanging plate 12. Among them, strengthening parts are respectively arranged at the joint plate bodies to increase the load-bearing capacity of the bearing plate. The hanging plate 12 is provided with positioning holes 10 and threaded holes 7 distributed at intervals. The inner circumferential walls of the threaded holes 7 are all provided with screws.
