Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe processing structures, and in particular to a water supply pipe installation connector. Background Technology

[0002] There are two main methods for installing and connecting drainage pipes: fusion welding and mechanical connection. When choosing fusion welding, the ends of the pipes to be connected must first be carefully cut and cleaned to ensure they are flat and clean. After these preparations, the next step is to process the ends using heat fusion. This process requires precise control of temperature and time to ensure the quality of the weld. Finally, the processed ends are precisely butt-jointed to ensure a tight seal and strong connection, thus completing the fusion welding installation of the entire drainage pipe.

[0003] The main structure of the welding fixture is a fixed support, which uses two semi-circular structures to fix the water pipe. However, it generally suffers from high processing difficulty and poor adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0032] In the existing technology, the main structure of the welding fixture is a fixed bracket, which fixes the water pipe through two semi-ring-shaped structures. However, it generally suffers from high processing difficulty and weak adaptability.

[0033] The water supply pipe installation connector provided by this utility model includes a first support portion 100 comprising a first lower frame 110 with a rectangular first upper recess on its upper surface and a first upper frame 120 with a rectangular first lower recess on its lower surface, which are hinged to each other. Multiple guide rods 130 extend from the first lower frame 110 in the thickness direction.

Furthermore, the processing difficulty of the first and second kits is significantly reduced.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the water supply pipe installation connector further includes a heating plate 500 detachably connected to the first lower frame 110.

[0039] In this embodiment, the heating plate 500 is movably fixed on the first lower frame 110, thereby facilitating the use of the heating plate 500 and avoiding the need to carry the heating plate 500 separately. The fixing method of the heating plate 500 on the first lower frame 110 can be varied, such as snap-fit ​​or sleeve connection, and is not limited. Specifically, the heating plate 500 is used to heat the end face of the water supply pipe 010, and the heating method of the heating plate 500 can be resistance, etc.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, a guide rod 130 is provided at one end of the first lower frame 110 in the width direction, and the heating plate 500 is rotatably and slidably disposed on the guide rod 130 at one end of the first lower frame 110 in the width direction.

[0041] In this embodiment, the installation position of the heating plate 500 is restricted to a guide rod 130, while the heating plate 500 can slide and rotate. The rotation action can transfer the heating plate 500 to the heating position of the water supply pipe 010, and the sliding action can adapt to the movement of the water supply pipe 010 in the length direction during the heating process.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, a guide rod 130 is provided at the other end of the first lower frame 110 in the width direction, and a handle 510 is provided on the heating plate 500.

[0045] In this embodiment, a guide rod 130 is provided at the bottom of the first lower frame 110, thereby making the sliding process of the second support portion 300 more stable.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first upper sleeve 220, the first lower sleeve 210, the second upper sleeve 420, and the second lower sleeve 410 are elastically snapped together in the thickness direction.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fixing direction of the first upper sleeve 220, the first lower sleeve 210, the second upper sleeve 420 and the second lower sleeve 410 is set to the thickness direction, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation in the circumferential direction. As a result, the first and second kits can form a better shape match with the water supply pipe 010, and ultimately form a better support effect.

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the first lower shelf 110 is arc-shaped, and a base 600 is connected to the bottom of the first lower shelf 110.

[0049] In this embodiment, the structure of the first lower frame 110 is simplified, and an independent base 600 is provided. The connection between the base 600 and the first lower frame 110 can be a threaded connection or welding, etc. The base 600 supports the other components. The structure of the base 600 can be designed to match base surfaces with different shapes.

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, a plurality of feet 610 are distributed on the base 600, and the height of the feet 610 on the base 600 is adjustable.

[0051] In this embodiment, stable support on a complex base surface can be achieved by adjusting each foot 610. The connection between the foot 610 and the base 600 can be a threaded connection, thereby providing stable support while achieving height adjustment.

[0052] In one embodiment, the first support portion 100 and the second support portion 300 are made of aluminum or stainless steel.

[0053] In this embodiment, two material options are provided that are technologically mature, easy to process, and weather-resistant, providing a foundation for the stable use of the first support portion 100 and the second support portion 300 in various situations.

[0054] In one embodiment, the first kit and the second kit are made of polymer.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first and second kits can be made of rubber or plastic, such as PVC plastic or polyurethane rubber.

[0056] In summary, the water supply pipe installation connector provided by this utility model allows the first and second components to be made of rubber or plastic, facilitating processing, transportation, and use. The first upper sleeve 220, first lower sleeve 210, second upper sleeve 420, and second lower sleeve 410 are installed using a flexible snap-fit ​​method, thereby improving installation convenience. Different models of water supply pipes 010 can be adapted by replacing the first and second components, and both components are rectangular in shape. The first component's installation at the first support portion 100 avoids positional errors and abnormal rotation; similarly, the second component's installation at the second support portion 300 avoids positional errors and abnormal rotation. Furthermore, the processing difficulty of the first and second components is significantly reduced.
