Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric water heater technology, and in particular to an installation structure for a ceiling-mounted electric water heater. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional electric water heaters are often hung on the side wall of the bathroom or kitchen in the form of a large water tank. Even with the use of a suspended ceiling for aesthetic purposes, part of them are still exposed, affecting the room's appearance and taking up a lot of wall space.

[0003] To address these issues, some integrated ceiling-mounted concealed electric water heaters have emerged on the market. These ceiling-mounted water heaters are fixed to the ceiling with bolts. During installation, the water heater needs to be lifted up, and then bolts need to be driven one by one to secure the brackets to the ceiling. Since there are usually four or more bolts, and due to the limitations of the water heater itself, it is often difficult to use power tools to install the bolts. As a result, workers need to lift the water heater for several minutes each time they install it, which is quite labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for a ceiling-mounted electric water heater to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Each nut 5 is equipped with an adjusting screw 42 that engages with it. The head of the adjusting screw 42 is located at its lower end, and each positioning pin 41 is fixed to the upper end surface of the corresponding adjusting screw 42. There are two left support legs 21 and two right support legs 22. The base plate 3 includes a left vertical plate 309, a right vertical plate 306, and two horizontal plates 307 connecting the left vertical plate 309 and the right vertical plate 306. The first connecting plate 31 and the second connecting plate 32 are both in the shape of a "7". The two first connecting plates 31 are fixed to the right edge of the left vertical plate 309, and the two second connecting plates 32 are fixed to the left edge of the right vertical plate 306. Each first connecting plate 31 is fixedly connected to a corresponding horizontal plate 307, and each second connecting plate 32 is fixedly connected to a corresponding horizontal plate 307. The base plate 3 is provided with a plurality of oblong holes 308 for mounting fasteners.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the method for installing a ceiling-mounted water heater using this mounting structure is as follows: 1. First, drill holes in the ceiling 7 and insert plastic expansion tubes into these holes. Then, align the oblong holes on the base plate 3 with the corresponding number of expansion tubes, and finally tighten the screws to fix the base plate 3 to the ceiling 7. 2. First, drill holes in the ceiling 7 and insert expansion screws into these holes. Then, fit the oblong holes on the base plate 3 onto the corresponding expansion screws, and finally tighten the nuts 5 to fix the base plate 3 to the ceiling 7. Next, lift the water heater with the mounting bracket 2 so that the left support leg 21 and right support leg 22 of the bracket 2 are raised to a height close to the ceiling 7, and each support leg is positioned in front of its corresponding recessed platform. Then, move the water heater and bracket 2 backward as a whole so that the through holes 201 on the left support leg 21 and the right support leg 22 are above their corresponding positioning pins 41. Finally, lower the water heater so that the left support leg 21 and right support leg 22 rest on the left recessed platform 301 and the right recessed platform 302 respectively, and insert each positioning pin 41 into its corresponding through hole 201 to complete the installation. Compared with the existing installation method, the user does not need to lift the water heater for a long time, reducing the workload, and it is convenient and quick to use power tools to tighten screws or nuts 5.

[0022] In the above embodiment, the function of the adjusting screw 42 is as follows: When the electric water heater is being repaired due to pipe blockage, the electric water heater filled with water is very heavy, and the blockage makes it difficult to drain the water. If it needs to be removed, it is difficult to lift the water heater to disengage each positioning pin 41 from the through holes 201 on each support foot. At this time, each adjusting screw 42 can be turned to lower the upper end of each positioning pin 41 to a position flush with the upper surface of the left support plate 33 and the upper surface of the right support plate 34. Then, the entire electric water heater can be pushed forward to remove the electric water heater.
