Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gas meter mounting brackets, and more specifically, to an adjustable bracket for fixing an indoor gas pipe. Background Art

[0002] The gas pipe is a special pipeline for transporting combustible gas. It is a metal gas pipe hose that replaces the traditional clip-on rubber hose and is generally connected to the gas meter.

[0003] Currently, when installing a gas meter, the gas pipe entrance is usually located close to the inner wall. In addition, users often install the gas pipe deep in the kitchen cabinet during renovation. To facilitate users to open the valve, the gas company will add a short pipe of varying lengths, ranging from 10cm to 50cm, to extend the pipe to facilitate users to use the gas meter valve. At this time, a fixed support must be installed for the extended pipe. Previously, due to the limited space inside the cabinet, installation was difficult or even impossible.

[0004] Moreover, the indoor gas pipes designed in the cabinet in the past, including the pipes extending to gas-using appliances such as stoves and water heaters, need to be fixed with brackets to ensure a firm installation. No suitable pipe codes were found, making it impossible to install them. In addition, the commonly used pipe codes require drilling holes in the wall or cabinet panels, which can easily damage the pipelines buried in the wall or affect the appearance.

[0005] In response to the above situation, the utility model proposes an adjustable bracket for fixing the indoor gas pipe, which can support the installed gas pipe in the cabinet to ensure that the gas pipe is horizontal and vertical and not loose. It is also easy to install. The bracket can be adjusted according to the height of the pipe installation. The adjustment height is 5-50cm and the load-bearing capacity is within 5 kilograms. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable bracket for fixing an indoor gas pipe, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable bracket for fixing an indoor gas pipe, comprising a vertical pole, a first extension rod being slidably provided inside the vertical pole, a second extension rod being slidably provided inside the first extension rod, and a U-shaped pipe support being provided on the top of the second extension rod.

[0008] It can be seen that in the above structure, the first extension rod slides inside the vertical rod, and the second extension rod slides inside the first extension rod, which can adjust the height of the entire bracket and ensure that the U-shaped pipe support supports the gas meter pipeline.

[0009] In order to provide stable support for the entire bracket and facilitate folding and storage, preferably, a triangular support structure is provided on the outside of the vertical pole, and the triangular support structure includes a support seat, which is fixedly mounted on the outside of the vertical pole, and three support legs are provided at the bottom of the support seat, one end of the three support legs is hinged to the bottom of the support seat, and a movable seat is slidingly provided on the outside of the vertical pole at the bottom of the support seat, and connecting rods are connected between the movable seat and the three support legs, and the two ends of the connecting rods are respectively hinged to the support legs and the movable seat, and a locking bolt is threadedly installed on the surface of the movable seat.

[0010] In order to be able to tighten the adjusted bracket, preferably, a locking fastener is provided at the connection between the first extension rod and the vertical rod and the connection between the second extension rod and the first extension rod, and the locking fastener includes a fastener, which is respectively fixed to the outside of the vertical rod and the first extension rod, and a locking nut is installed on the external thread of the fastener, and the fastener is a frustum structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the inner cavity of the locking nut matches the outer wall structure of the fastener.

[0011] In order to prevent the first extension rod from detaching when it slides to the end inside the vertical rod or the second extension rod slides to the end inside the first extension rod, preferably, anti-detachment blocks are provided at the bottom of the first extension rod and the second extension rod, and the anti-detachment blocks are respectively slidably connected inside the vertical rod and the first extension rod.

[0012] In order to facilitate the disassembly, assembly and replacement of the U-shaped tube support, preferably, a threaded column is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped tube support, the threaded column is threadedly connected to the top end of the second extension rod, and an anti-slip pad is provided at the top of the U-shaped tube support.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. By stretching the first and second extension rods, the height of the entire bracket can be adjusted. When installing the gas meter, the U-shaped pipe support is ensured to be at the bottom of the gas meter pipe for support. This facilitates the installation of the gas meter. At the same time, the triangular support structure is opened until the top is firmly on the ground, which can provide stable support for the entire bracket and facilitate removal of the entire bracket when disassembling the gas meter.

[0015] 2. By setting up a triangular support structure, the movable seat slides outside the vertical pole and drives the three connecting rods to hinge and rotate, thereby making one end of the three support legs hinge and rotate with the support seat. The three support legs can be opened to stably support the bracket. Similarly, when not in use, the three support seats can be folded for easy storage. By turning the locking bolt, the movable seat outside the vertical pole can be limited;

[0016] 3. By setting a locking piece, the first extension rod slides inside the vertical rod, and the second extension rod slides inside the first extension rod. After adjusting the height of the entire bracket, by turning the locking nut, the fastener can tighten and lock the extended first and second extension rods to ensure the stability of the entire bracket support;

[0017] 4. The U-shaped pipe support can be threadedly connected to the top of the second extension rod through a threaded column to achieve the installation and replacement of the U-shaped pipe support, making it convenient to replace different types of U-shaped pipe supports. The anti-slip pad can protect and prevent the gas meter pipeline from slipping, ensuring that the U-shaped pipe support fits tightly with the pipeline and will not slip.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] As attached Figure 1-5 The adjustable bracket for fixing an indoor gas pipe includes a vertical pole 1, a first extension rod 2 is slidably arranged inside the vertical pole 1, a second extension rod 3 is slidably arranged inside the first extension rod 2, and a U-shaped pipe support 4 is arranged on the top of the second extension rod 3.

[0026] Specifically, in this structure, when installing an indoor gas meter, the gas pipe entrance is generally located close to the inner wall, and the user installs the gas pipe in a deeper position in the kitchen cabinet during renovation. In order to facilitate the user to open the valve, the gas company will add a short pipe with a length of 10cm to 50cm when installing the gas meter to extend the pipe to facilitate the user to use the gas meter valve. At this time, it is necessary to install a fixed support for the extended pipe. In the past, due to the limited position in the cabinet, installation was difficult or even impossible.

[0027] Therefore, when installing the gas meter, since an extension pipe is installed in front of the meter, the structure can be installed under the pipeline. The first extension rod 2 and the second extension rod 3 are stretched to adjust the height of the entire bracket so that the U-shaped pipe support 4 is at the bottom of the pipeline for support. At the same time, the triangular support structure is opened until the ground top is firm, and the entire bracket installation is completed.

[0028] In the past, indoor gas pipes designed in cabinets, including those extending between gas appliances such as stoves and water heaters, needed to be fixed with brackets to ensure a secure installation. However, due to the lack of suitable pipe brackets, installation was impossible. In addition, commonly used pipe brackets required drilling holes in the wall or cabinet panels, which could easily damage the pipelines buried in the wall or affect the appearance. When the indoor gas pipe is installed in the cabinet, an adjustable bracket can be placed in the cabinet where the pipe passes. The entire bracket is stretched and adjusted until the triangular support structure is firmly against the ground. After tightening the structure, the bracket is used to support the pipe.

[0029] In short, the arrangement of this structure can facilitate the support of the gas pipe during installation and fixation.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 1 、 2 As shown, a triangular support structure is provided on the outside of the vertical pole 1, and the triangular support structure includes a support seat 5, which is fixedly mounted on the outside of the vertical pole 1, and three support legs 6 are provided at the bottom of the support seat 5, one end of each of the three support legs 6 is hinged to the bottom of the support seat 5, and a movable seat 7 is slidingly provided on the outside of the vertical pole 1 at the bottom of the support seat 5, and connecting rods 8 are connected between the movable seat 7 and the three support legs 6, and both ends of the connecting rod 8 are hinged to the support legs 6 and the movable seat 7 respectively, and a locking bolt 9 is threadedly installed on the surface of the movable seat 7.

[0031] Specifically, in this structure, when the triangular support structure needs to be opened, the movable seat 7 can be slid on the outside of the vertical pole 1, and the three connecting rods 8 can be driven to hinge and rotate, thereby making one end of the three support legs 6 hinge and rotate with the support seat 5, and the three support legs 6 can be opened for support. Similarly, when not in use, the three support seats 5 can be folded for easy storage, and the movable seat 7 outside the vertical pole 1 can be limited by rotating the locking bolt 9.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 1 、 4 As shown, the connection between the first extension rod 2 and the vertical rod 1 and the connection between the second extension rod 3 and the first extension rod 2 are both provided with locking fasteners, which include fasteners 10. The fasteners 10 are respectively fixed to the outside of the vertical rod 1 and the first extension rod 2, and the external threads of the fasteners 10 are installed with locking nuts 11. The fasteners 10 are a frustum structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the inner cavity of the locking nut 11 matches the outer wall structure of the fastener 10.

[0033] Specifically, in this structure, when the first extension rod 2 slides inside the vertical rod 1, and the second extension rod 3 slides inside the first extension rod 2, after adjusting the height of the entire bracket, by rotating the locking nut 11, since the fastener 10 is a frustum structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the inner cavity of the locking nut 11 matches the outer wall structure of the fastener 10, therefore, by rotating the locking nut 11, the fastener 10 can tighten and lock the extended first extension rod 2 and second extension rod 3.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 4 As shown, the bottoms of the first extension rod 2 and the second extension rod 3 are both provided with anti-slip blocks 12 , and the anti-slip blocks 12 are slidably connected inside the upright rod 1 and the first extension rod 2 .

[0035] Specifically, in this structure, when the first extension rod 2 slides inside the vertical rod 1 or the second extension rod 3 slides inside the first extension rod 2, the anti-slip block 12 can slide inside the vertical rod 1 and the second extension rod 3. The anti-slip block 12 can prevent the first extension rod 2 from sliding to the end inside the vertical rod 1 or the second extension rod 3 from sliding to the end inside the first extension rod 2, thereby preventing the first extension rod 2 from detaching.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 1 、 3 As shown, a threaded column 13 is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped tube bracket 4 , the threaded column 13 is threadedly connected to the top end of the second extension rod 3 , and an anti-slip pad 14 is provided at the top of the U-shaped tube bracket 4 .

[0037] Specifically, in this structure, the U-shaped pipe support 4 can be threadedly connected to the top end of the second extension rod 3 through the threaded column 13 to achieve the installation of the U-shaped pipe support 4, and the anti-slip pad 14 can protect and prevent the gas meter pipeline from slipping, ensuring that the U-shaped pipe support 4 fits tightly with the pipeline and will not slide.

[0038] Working principle of this utility model:

[0039] The present application provides an adjustable bracket for fixing indoor gas pipes. When a gas meter is installed indoors, in order to facilitate the installation of the gas meter inside a cabinet, the device can be used to support the gas meter pipe. The installed gas pipe can be supported in the cabinet to ensure that the gas pipe is horizontal and vertical and not loose. It is also easy to install. The bracket can be adjusted according to the height of the pipe installation. The adjustable height is 5-50 cm and the load-bearing capacity is within 5 kg. It is made of plastic steel or stainless steel. The bottom is a triangular bracket structure. The upper part supports the pipe at a U-shaped pipe support 4 design. The middle can be extended and tightened with a nut. Specifically;

[0040] According to the specific situation, slide the first extension rod 2 inside the vertical rod 1, and slide the second extension rod 3 inside the first extension rod 2, and adjust the height of the entire bracket so that the U-shaped pipe support 4 supports the gas meter pipeline. After the height of the entire bracket is adjusted, tighten it by turning the locking nut 11;

[0041] By sliding the movable seat 7 on the outside of the upright pole 1 and driving the three connecting rods 8 to hinge and rotate, the three supporting legs 6 are hinged and rotated at one end with the supporting seat 5, and the three supporting legs 6 can be opened to support the entire bracket. Similarly, when not in use, the three supporting seats 5 can be folded for easy storage. By rotating the locking bolt 9, the movable seat 7 outside the upright pole 1 can be limited.

[0042] Then, the bracket is used to support the gas meter during installation. The installation is simple and does not require drilling holes in the wall or cabinet. It can be installed directly and is easy to disassemble and update. When replacing the gas meter, only the middle locking nut 11 needs to be loosened to remove the bracket. It is beautiful and will not damage user facilities.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
