Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water pipe storage devices, and in particular to a water pipe storage bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Pipe support brackets are common engineering tools used for winding and unwinding flexible water pipes. They typically consist of a bracket with a base and a rotating winding roller. Winding and unwinding are achieved by rotating the roller. For example, Chinese patent application number 202210154290.X discloses an improved automatic pipe winding structure. This patent includes two brackets and a winding roller located between them. One bracket has a crank, and the other has a water inlet. The winding roller rotates by cranking the crank, thus winding the outlet pipe. One end of the water inlet is connected to the outlet pipe, and the other end is connected to the inlet pipe, which is connected to a faucet.

[0003] However, when the aforementioned pipe support is no longer needed, the water inlet pipe needs to be removed from the water inlet interface. If it is not removed, it is difficult to solve the problem of water inlet pipe placement. In addition, the water inlet pipe itself is also quite long, making it difficult to wind and store when the water inlet pipe is not in use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a water pipe storage bracket that is more convenient for users to store water pipes and easier to place is provided.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a water pipe storage bracket, including a first bracket and a second bracket arranged horizontally at intervals and extending in a vertical direction, a roller rotatably connected between the first bracket and the second bracket, an inlet nozzle for connecting a water inlet pipe on the outer side wall of the first bracket, the inlet nozzle including a fixed part and a rotating part, the fixed part being vertical and fixed to the first bracket, the rotating part being rotatably connected to the fixed part and being able to rotate from a direction perpendicular to the first bracket to a direction parallel to the first bracket; the outer side wall of the first bracket is provided with at least three winding frames for winding the water inlet pipe.

[0006] When not in use, the user can connect the inlet hose connector to the water inlet nozzle and then wrap the inlet hose around the hose reel. When needed, simply unwrap the hose and connect it to the faucet.

[0007] Among them, the roller can be any existing component that can achieve the winding of the water pipe by rotation.

[0008] The roller has an outlet connected to the inlet, and the outlet is connected to an outlet pipe wound around the roller. The outlet and inlet are rotatably connected, and the connection method between the outlet and inlet is existing technology.

[0009] The rotating part and the fixed part are fitted with a dynamic seal using existing technology, such as by setting a sealing ring.

[0010] This design incorporates a rotating part in the water inlet nozzle, which can rotate from a direction perpendicular to the first support to a direction parallel to the first support. This reduces the space required in the direction perpendicular to the first support, making it easier to store the support in confined spaces. Simultaneously, the water inlet pipe can be wound around the support, facilitating its storage.

[0011] Preferably, the circumferential sidewall of the first bracket is provided with a plurality of protrusions for connecting the other end of the water inlet pipe.

[0012] By setting protrusions, the other end of the water inlet pipe can also be fixed after it is wound.

[0013] Preferably, the winding frame is L-shaped, and a groove that opens outward toward the first support is formed between the L-shaped winding frame and the first support.

[0014] The L-shaped winding frame forms a groove with the first bracket, which facilitates the winding of the water inlet pipe.

[0015] Preferably, the width of the slot is L1, the diameter of the water inlet pipe is L2, and L2≤L1<2L2.

[0016] L1 is greater than or equal to L2 and less than twice L2, thus avoiding the water inlet pipe from overlapping perpendicular to the first support direction during winding, which could cause it to jam. Ensuring the water inlet pipe overlaps parallel to the first support direction prevents it from jamming during winding and unwinding.

[0017] Preferably, the fixing part includes a vertical section perpendicular to the first bracket and a parallel section parallel to the first bracket, the end of the vertical section is connected to the parallel section, and the rotating part is sleeved on the parallel section and rotatably connected to the parallel section.

[0018] By rotating the parallel section and the rotating part together, the rotating part can be rotated from a direction perpendicular to the first support to a direction parallel to the first support.

[0019] Preferably, the circumferential outer edge of the part where the rotating part is rotatably connected to the parallel section is circular, and the end of the vertical section that deviates from the parallel section is provided with a mating part, the mating part having an arc surface adapted to the rotating part, the arc surface being in contact with the rotating part.

[0020] The curved surface contacts the rotating part, which guides the amplitude of the rotating part during rotation, ensuring that the rotating part can rotate stably.

[0021] Preferably, the second bracket is provided with a crank for driving the roller to rotate. The crank includes a radially extending rocker arm and a gripping rod located at the end of the rocker arm. The rocker arm is hollow, and the gripping rod is connected to an insertion section that extends into the rocker arm. The insertion section and the rocker arm can rotate, so that the gripping rod can be rotated from a direction perpendicular to the second bracket to a direction parallel to the second bracket. The insertion section and the rocker arm have a locking structure to keep the gripping rod perpendicular to the second bracket.

[0022] By rotating the insertion section and the rocker arm, the grip rod can be rotated from a direction perpendicular to the second bracket to a direction parallel to the second bracket, thereby further reducing the space occupied in the direction perpendicular to the second bracket and making it easier to place the entire storage bracket in a narrow space. The locking structure can be an existing structure, such as opening a through hole on the rocker arm and having a protrusion on the insertion section that cooperates with the leaf spring. When the protrusion is inserted into the through hole, the grip rod is in the position perpendicular to the second bracket.

[0023] Preferably, the portion of the insertion section away from the gripping rod has an expanded head, and the gripping rod has a mating hole through which the expanded head passes. The mating hole compresses the expanded head, causing its diameter to decrease so that it can pass through the mating hole. The rocker arm is equipped with a button, and the rocker arm has a spring inside that drives the button to move outward. The button has an oblong hole through which the insertion section passes, and the oblong hole communicates with the inner cavity of the gripping rod. The insertion section has a laterally extending snap-fit ​​flange, and the oblong hole has a support flange for supporting the snap-fit ​​flange.

[0024] When the button is released, the button moves outward, and the supporting protrusion of the waist-shaped hole supports the locking protrusion so that the locking protrusion is located inside the waist-shaped hole. At this time, the insertion section is fixed to the rocker arm and cannot rotate. When the button is pressed, the supporting protrusion of the waist-shaped hole moves away from the locking protrusion, so that the locking protrusion disengages from the waist-shaped hole, and the insertion section is released from the rocker arm and can rotate.

[0025] The expansion head prevents the entire insertion section from falling out of the grip rod's inner cavity; the length of the oblong hole is greater than the length of the insertion part plus the snap-fit ​​protrusion, so when the button is pressed, the snap-fit ​​protrusion can disengage from the oblong hole. Simultaneously, because the snap-fit ​​protrusion extends laterally on the insertion section, the snap-fit ​​protrusion within the oblong hole not only secures the insertion section to the rocker arm but also restricts rotation between the insertion section and the rocker arm.

[0026] Preferably, the insertion segment has a guide segment located above and connected to the snap-fit ​​flange, and the thickness of the guide segment gradually decreases along the insertion direction of the insertion segment.

[0027] The guide section can compress the support protrusion, causing the entire button to move inward, allowing the snap-fit ​​protrusion to enter the oblong hole. Once the snap-fit ​​protrusion enters the oblong hole, the button is reset by the action of the spring.

[0028] Preferably, the outer circumferential edge of the insertion section near the gripping rod is rectangular, and the inner circumferential edge of the end opening of the rocker arm is rectangular. When the direction of the gripping rod is perpendicular to the second bracket, the insertion section can be inserted into the rocker arm; when the direction of the gripping rod is not perpendicular to the second bracket, the insertion section cannot be inserted into the rocker arm.

[0029] The insertion section has a rectangular section, and the rocker arm has a rectangular opening. The rectangular design not only prevents the insertion section from being inserted into the rocker arm when the direction of the grip rod is not perpendicular to the second bracket, but also has another major function after the insertion section is inserted into the rocker arm: to prevent rotation between the insertion section and the rocker arm, thereby achieving stability of the rocker arm when it is in use.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, this utility model reduces the space of the entire storage bracket in the direction perpendicular to the first and second brackets by improving the hand crank and the water inlet nozzle, thus making it easier to place the entire storage bracket in a small space; at the same time, the water inlet pipe can be wrapped around it, which further facilitates the storage of the water inlet pipe and makes it easier for users to use.

[0042] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a water pipe storage bracket, including a first bracket 11 and a second bracket 12 horizontally spaced and extending vertically. The first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are connected by a handle 13 and a connecting rod 15. A roller 14 is rotatably connected between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12. The outer wall of the first bracket 11 is provided with an inlet nozzle 3 for connecting a water inlet pipe 100. A crank 5 and an outlet nozzle 200 are respectively provided at both ends of the roller 14. The outlet nozzle 200 and the inlet nozzle 3 are rotatably connected and dynamically sealed using existing technology. The outlet nozzle 200 is used to connect an outlet pipe (not shown in the figure), which is wound around the roller 14. The crank 5 is rotatably connected to the second bracket 12 and drives the roller 14 to rotate.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the inlet nozzle 3 includes a hollow fixing part 31 and a rotating part 32. The fixing part 31 has four cross-shaped insertion parts 35 arranged on its outer circumferential side. The first bracket 11 has insertion holes (not shown in the figure). The insertion parts 35 are inserted into the insertion holes to ensure that the fixing part 31 is vertical and fixed to the first bracket 11. The fixing part 31 includes a vertical section 311 perpendicular to the first bracket 11 and a parallel section 312 parallel to the first bracket 11. The end of the vertical section 311 is connected to the parallel section 312. The rotating part 32 is sleeved on the parallel section 312 and rotatably connected to it. A retaining ring 33 limits the movement between the rotating part 32 and the parallel section 312, and a sealing ring 34 achieves dynamic sealing. The circumferential outer edge of the portion where the rotating part 32 is rotatably connected to the parallel section 312 is circular. A mating part 313 is provided at the end of the vertical section 311 that deviates from the parallel section. The mating part 313 has an arc surface 3131 adapted to the rotating part 32, and the arc surface 3131 contacts the rotating part 32. The rotatable connection between the rotating part 32 and the fixed part 31 allows the rotating part 32 to rotate from a direction perpendicular to the first support 11 to a direction parallel to the first support 11.

[0045] Three circumferentially evenly spaced winding frames 2 are provided on the outer wall of the first support 11. The winding frames 2 are L-shaped, and the L-shaped winding frames 2 form a groove with the first support 11 opening outward in a circumferential direction. The width of the groove is L1, that is, the distance between the L-shaped winding frame 2 and the first support 11 is L1. The diameter of the water inlet pipe is L2, where L2≤L1<2L2.

[0046] The first support 11 and the second support 12 each have three legs, which are arranged at 120° intervals. The circumferential side wall of the first support 11 is provided with two protrusions 4 for connecting the other end of the water inlet pipe 100. The two protrusions 4 are located between the upper leg and the two lower legs, respectively.

[0047] like Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the rocker arm 5 includes a radially extending rocker arm 51. The end of the rocker arm 51 is provided with a gripping rod 52. The rocker arm 51 is hollow. The gripping rod 52 is connected to an insertion section 53 that extends into the rocker arm 51. The inner cavity of the rocker arm 51 can realize the insertion of the insertion section 53. The insertion section 53 can rotate in the inner cavity of the rocker arm 51.

[0048] The portion of the insertion section 53 away from the gripping rod 52 has an expansion head 531, which is tapered and has a U-shaped groove in the middle to facilitate the inward deformation of the expansion head 531.

[0049] The gripping rod 52 has a mating hole 58 through which the expansion head 531 passes. The mating hole 58 compresses the expansion head 531, reducing its diameter so that it can pass through the mating hole 58. The rocker arm 51 has space above the mating hole 58 to allow the insertion section 53 to move upward.

[0050] The rocker arm 51 is equipped with a button 54. Inside the rocker arm 51 is a spring 55 that drives the button 54 to move outwards. The inner cavity of the rocker arm 51 has space to restrict the movement of the button 54 along the length of the rocker arm 51, allowing the button 54 to move only along the length of the spring 55. The button 54 has an oblong hole 541 through which the insertion section 53 passes. The oblong hole 541 extends vertically and communicates with the inner cavity of the rocker arm 51. The insertion section 53 has a laterally extending locking flange 56 to restrict rotation of the insertion section 53 within the oblong hole 541. A support flange 542 for supporting the locking flange 56 is provided within the oblong hole 541. The support flange 542 is located on the lower inner wall of the oblong hole 541 in the figure. The insertion section 53 has a guide section 57 located above and connected to the locking flange 56. The thickness of the guide section 57 gradually decreases along the insertion direction of the insertion section 53 (from bottom to top in the figure).

[0051] The outer circumferential edge of the insertion section 53 near the gripping rod 52 is rectangular, and the inner circumferential edge of the lower end opening of the rocker arm 51 is rectangular. When the direction of the gripping rod 52 is perpendicular to the second bracket 12, the insertion section 53 can be inserted into the rocker arm 51. When the direction of the gripping rod 52 is not perpendicular to the second bracket 12, the insertion section 53 cannot be inserted into the rocker arm 51.

[0052] When button 54 is released, it moves outward under the action of spring 55. Rotating the grip lever 52 perpendicular to the second bracket 12 allows the rectangular portion to engage, at which point the engaging flange 56 is directly below the supporting flange 542. Then, inserting the insertion section 53 into the inner cavity of the rocker arm 51 causes the guide section 57 to contact and press against the upper supporting flange 542, causing button 54 to move inward. Once the engaging flange 56 enters the oblong hole 541, button 54 moves outward under the action of spring 55. This brings the supporting flange 542 into contact with the engaging flange 56. At this point, the insertion section 53 cannot disengage from the rocker arm 51, and there is no rotation between them, maintaining the grip lever 52 perpendicular to the second bracket 12. When not in use, the user presses button 54, causing the waist-shaped hole 541 to move inward, the support protrusion 542 to disengage from the locking protrusion 56, causing the insertion section 53 to fall off. However, due to the presence of the expansion head 531, the insertion section 53 remains connected to the rocker arm 51, and the insertion section 53 can rotate, thereby making the direction of the gripping rod 52 parallel to the second bracket 12.

[0053] When the device is not in use, pressing the button causes the insertion section 53 to drop downwards, and then rotating the insertion section 53 so that the direction of the gripping rod 52 is parallel to the second bracket 12; the water inlet pipe 100 is wound around the winding frame 2, with one end of the water inlet pipe 100 engaging with the protrusion 4. The entire device can then be stored away. When the device is needed, the user unwinds the water inlet pipe 100, connecting the end of the water inlet pipe 100 that engages with the protrusion 4 to the faucet. The gripping rod 52 is rotated to be perpendicular to the second bracket 12, and then the insertion section 53 is inserted into the rocker arm 51 to secure the gripping rod 52. The user can then hold the gripping rod 52 and rotate the rocker arm 5 to rotate the roller 14.
