DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" and the like are used solely for distinction and description and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0030] Example 1: Figure 1 As shown, the utility model describes a height-adjustable valve and drive mechanism connecting bracket, comprising an upper end bracket 1 and a lower end bracket 2 of a split structure, the upper end bracket 1 comprising an upper receiving plate 4 and two oppositely arranged upper support plates 3, the lower end bracket 2 comprising a lower receiving plate 6 and two oppositely arranged lower support plates 5; the upper receiving plate 4 is used to form a mounting platform for the drive mechanism, and the lower receiving plate 6 is used to connect the valve body of the ball valve; the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 5 are connected to form an integral structure by bolts 7, and the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 5 are provided with a plurality of fixing holes in the vertical direction, which are connected by the fixing holes at different heights in conjunction with the bolts 7, so that the spacing distance between the upper receiving plate 4 and the lower receiving plate 6 can be adjusted.
[0031] Using the height-adjustable valve and drive mechanism connection bracket described in this invention, during installation, first secure the lower bracket 2 to the ball valve body. Then, based on site conditions, adjust the relative positions of the upper and lower support plates 3 and 5, select fixing holes at appropriate heights, and use bolts 7 to connect the upper and lower support plates 3 and 5 to form a single structure. Compared to existing fixed-height brackets, the present invention can be adjusted to meet installation requirements at varying heights, improving installation flexibility and ease of use.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above approach, the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 5 further include a snap-fit portion 8 and a main body 9. The snap-fit portion 8 has a thickness that is half that of the main body 9, and the fixing holes are provided in the snap-fit portion 8. This structural arrangement improves the structural integrity of the novel bracket; in addition, the design of the snap-fit portion 8 reduces the overall weight of the bracket, making height adjustment easier and more convenient.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, further, a rubber pad layer 10 is provided on the contacting side of the bite portion 8 .
[0034] The provision of the rubber pad layer 10 in this embodiment can increase the friction between the engaging portions 8 and improve the stability of the overall bracket structure. Furthermore, the rubber pad layer 10 provides a certain cushioning effect, reducing friction between the engaging portions 8 caused by vibration or impact during use, thereby extending the service life of the bracket. Furthermore, the rubber pad layer 10 can fill gaps between the engaging portions 8 due to machining errors, further improving the stability of the connection between the upper bracket 1 and the lower bracket 2.
[0035] Example 2: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model describes a height-adjustable valve and drive mechanism connecting bracket. On the basis of the above method, further, the connecting bracket also includes a plurality of bearing blocks 11, and the bearing blocks 11 are provided with through holes for the bolts 7 to pass through; when the spacing distance between the upper receiving plate 4 and the lower receiving plate 6 increases, the bearing blocks 11 are used to fill the fitting gap between the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 5; and the structural dimension of the bearing block 11 is a, and when the spacing distance between the upper receiving plate 4 and the lower receiving plate 6 increases by the spacing of one of the fixing holes, the spacing dimension formed between the bite portion 8 and the main body 9 is b, a=b.
[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the spacing distance between the upper receiving plate 4 and the lower receiving plate 6 needs to be adjusted and increased, the matching gap between the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 5 is filled by adding a corresponding number of the supporting blocks 11, thereby improving the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure of the bracket.
[0037] For example, when the upper receiving plate 4 moves upward by the distance between the two fixing holes, the two bearing blocks 11 can be used to fill the fitting gap between the upper supporting plate 3 and the lower supporting plate 5 .
[0038] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned method, further, a slot 12 is provided on the side of the lower support plate 5 that abuts the bearing block 11, and a protrusion 13 is provided on the side of the upper support plate 3 that abuts the bearing block 11. The slot 12 and the protrusion 13 both extend to the side that fits the bite portion 8. The bearing block 11 is also provided with a limit block 14 that is adapted to the slot 12, and a limit groove 15 that is adapted to the protrusion 13. This structural setting can prevent the bearing block 11 from shifting or falling off during use, further improving the stability of the overall structure of the bracket. In addition, the design of the slot 12 and the protrusion 13 can also increase the contact area between the bearing block 11 and the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 5, thereby improving the connection strength between the bearing block 11 and the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 5.
[0039] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above manner, further, the cross-sectional dimension of the locking slot 12 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the limiting block 14 , and the cross-sectional dimension of the limiting slot 15 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the protrusion 13 .
[0040] In this embodiment, it is taken into consideration that in the processing and production of the bracket, there may be certain errors in the processing accuracy of the slot 12, the protrusion 13 and the limit block 14. Therefore, the cross-sectional dimensions of the slot 12 are designed to be larger than the cross-sectional dimensions of the limit block 14, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the limit slot 15 are designed to be larger than the cross-sectional dimensions of the protrusion 13. This ensures that the limit block 14 can be smoothly installed between the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 5, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and stability of the bracket. In addition, adopting this structural setting can also avoid the formation of a matching gap between the limit block 14 and the bite portion 8, further improving the stability of the overall structure of the bracket. On the other hand, this design can also adapt to the slight deformation of the bracket caused by factors such as thermal expansion and contraction during use, avoid the bearing block 11 from getting stuck or falling off due to deformation, and further improve the reliability and service life of the bracket.
[0041] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, further, both ends of the bearing block 11 extend beyond the side surfaces of the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 5 .
[0042] In this embodiment, the two end portions of the supporting block 11 are arranged to extend beyond the side surfaces of the upper support plate 3 and the lower support plate 5, which can make it easier for the staff to install or disassemble the supporting block 11, thereby improving the installation convenience and efficiency of the bracket. At the same time, this design can also prevent the risk of rainwater infiltrating into the fitting gap between the card slot 12 and the limit block 14, as well as the risk of rainwater infiltrating into the fitting gap between the protrusion 13 and the limit groove 15, thereby further improving the corrosion resistance and service life of the bracket.
[0043] Example 3: Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the height-adjustable valve and drive mechanism connecting bracket described in the present invention is further provided with an added armpit angle 16 between the upper receiving plate 4 and the upper support plate 3, and an added armpit angle 16 is provided between the lower receiving plate 6 and the lower support plate 5 on the basis of the above method.
[0044] This structural setting increases the structural strength of the upper bracket 1 and the lower bracket 2; in addition, the design of adding the armpit angle 16 can also disperse stress, reduce the risk of bracket damage caused by stress concentration, and further improve the bearing capacity and service life of the bracket.
[0045] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further, the plane size of the upper receiving plate 4 is larger than the plane size of the lower receiving plate 6 .
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
