[0007] The hanging bracket described in this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0008] The water heater body is hung on hooks on a fixed object via its hanging edge. Because the hanging edge has an inclined section along its extension direction, and the height of the inclined section near the hanging body is lower than that of the other end, when the two hooks on the fixed object that correspond to the hooks are not on the same horizontal line, the water heater body can automatically level itself under its own weight after being hung. This makes the water heater body installed stably, and there is no need to reinstall hooks on the fixed object to fix the water heater body, which helps to improve installation efficiency.

[0009] In one embodiment, the hook portion further includes a first limiting protrusion protruding from the hanging edge, the first limiting protrusion being located at the end of the hanging edge away from the hanger body.

[0010] In one embodiment, the hanging edge is provided with a positioning structure for positioning the hook.

[0011] In one embodiment, the positioning structure is a second limiting protrusion, and the hook can abut against the periphery of the second limiting protrusion; or, the positioning structure is a limiting groove, and the hook can be hooked onto the limiting groove.

[0012] And / or, the positioning structure is provided in multiple intervals along the extension direction of the hanging edge.

[0013] In one embodiment, the hanging edge further includes a horizontal segment that extends along the extension direction of the hanging edge, and the horizontal segment and the inclined segment are arranged alternately and connected to each other.

[0014] In one embodiment, the bracket body is provided with a first reinforcing rib, and / or the hook portion is provided with a second reinforcing rib.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first reinforcing ribs are spaced apart along the length of the bracket;

[0016] The second reinforcing rib includes a first reinforcing part and a second reinforcing part that are connected to each other. The first reinforcing part extends along the length direction of the bracket, and the second reinforcing part extends along the height direction of the bracket.

[0017] In one embodiment, the bracket body is provided with fixing holes for the connector to pass through, and the bracket body is connected to the water heater body through the connector.

[0018] In one embodiment, the hook portion is provided with a hanging hole, and the water heater body can be hung on the hanging hole by a plate-shaped hook or a screw threaded through the hanging hole and installed on the fixed object.

[0019] The second technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a water heater that can effectively solve the problem of unstable installation caused by the water heater body being hung crookedly.

[0020] The above-mentioned technical problems are solved by the following technical solutions:

[0021] A water heater includes a water heater body and the aforementioned bracket, wherein the bracket body is connected to the water heater body.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the hanging bracket described in this utility model has the following advantages: after the water heater body is hung by the hook, it can automatically level itself under its own weight, thereby making the water heater body installed stably, and there is no need to reinstall the hook on the fixed object to fix the water heater body, which helps to improve the installation efficiency.

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this embodiment provides a mounting bracket for mounting the water heater body (not shown) onto a fixed object (not shown).

[0045] Specifically, the hanger includes two hook portions 200 and a hanger body 100 disposed between the two hook portions 200. The bottom of each hook portion 200 has a hanging edge 210, and the hanging edge 210 has an inclined section 2101 along its extending direction. The height of the inclined section 2101 near the hanger body 100 is lower than that of the other end. It can be understood that the extending direction of the hanging edge 210 is the same as the length direction of the hanger.

[0046] In this embodiment, the water heater body is hung on the hooks 10 provided on the fixed object via the hanging edge 210, thereby realizing the installation of the water heater body. Since the hanging edge 210 is provided with an inclined section 2101 along its extension direction, and the height of the inclined section 2101 near the bracket body 100 is lower than that of the other end, when the two hooks 10 on the fixed object that correspond one-to-one with the hook part 200 are not on the same horizontal line, the water heater body can automatically level itself under its own weight after being installed, thereby making the water heater body installed stably, and there is no need to reinstall the hooks 10 on the fixed object to fix the water heater body, which is beneficial to improving installation efficiency.

[0047] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the two hooks 10 on the fixed object that correspond one-to-one with the hook part 200 are not on the same horizontal line, the contact position of one of the two hooks 10 with the inclined section 2101 of the corresponding hanging edge 210 is different from that of the other hook with the inclined section 2101 of the corresponding hanging edge 210, so that the water heater body is installed stably.

[0048] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the two hooks 10 on the fixed object that correspond one-to-one with the hook part 200 are on the same horizontal line, the two hooks 10 and the corresponding inclined section 2101 are in the same contact position, thereby making the water heater body installed securely.

[0049] For example, the fixing object can be a wall.

[0050] For example, hook 10 can be an L-shaped expansion hook.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the included angle α between the inclined section 2101 of one of the two hook parts 200 and the inclined section 2101 of the other is less than 180°, for example 150°, 155°, 160° or 165°, so that the hanger has good structural strength and can effectively avoid problems such as hanger deformation and breakage caused by stress concentration.

[0052] For example, the bracket may be wing-shaped.

[0053] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 1As shown, the hook portion 200 also includes a first limiting protrusion 211 protruding from the hanging edge 210. The first limiting protrusion 211 is located at the end of the hanging edge 210 away from the bracket body 100. The first limiting protrusion 211 can block the hook 10 to prevent the hook 10 from detaching from the corresponding hanging edge 210, that is, to prevent the hook 10 from detaching from the bracket, thereby preventing the water heater body from falling accidentally, which is safe and reliable.

[0054] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a positioning structure is provided on the hanging edge 210. The positioning structure is used to position the hook 10, effectively preventing the bracket from shifting relative to the hook 10, thereby making the water heater body installed securely. The positioning structure is located on the side of the first limiting protrusion 211 near the bracket body 100.

[0055] In one feasible implementation, multiple positioning structures are spaced apart along the extension direction of the hanging edge 210 to accommodate the attachment of two hooks 10 with different spacing, thereby improving applicability. For example, two to six positioning structures are spaced apart along the extension direction of the hanging edge 210, such as three, four, or five. Of course, a single positioning structure can also be provided on the hanging edge 210.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the positioning structure is a second limiting protrusion 212, and the hook 10 can abut against the periphery of the second limiting protrusion 212 to position the hook 10 on the hanging edge 210. For example, when the two hooks 10 on the fixing object that correspond one-to-one with the hook portion 200 are not on the same horizontal line, at least one hook 10 abuts against the periphery of the corresponding second limiting protrusion 212, effectively preventing the bracket from shifting relative to the hook 10, thereby ensuring the water heater body is securely installed.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the positioning structure is a limiting groove 213, and the hook 10 can be hooked into the limiting groove 213 to position the hook 10 on the hanging edge 210. For example, when the two hooks 10 on the fixing object that correspond one-to-one with the hook part 200 are not on the same horizontal line, at least one hook 10 is hooked into the corresponding limiting groove 213, effectively preventing the bracket from shifting relative to the hook 10, thereby making the water heater body installed securely.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the hanging edge 210 also includes a horizontal segment 2102, which extends along the extending direction of the hanging edge 210. The horizontal segment 2102 and the inclined segment 2101 are arranged alternately and connected to each other. In this embodiment, when the two hooks 10 on the fixing object that correspond one-to-one with the hook part 200 are not on the same horizontal line, at least one hook 10 is hooked on the corresponding horizontal segment 2102, so that the water heater body is installed securely.

[0059] For example, the positioning structure can be provided on the inclined section 2101 or on the horizontal section 2102, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0060] For example, the hanging edge 210 includes at least one inclined segment 2101 and at least one horizontal segment 2102; for example, the inclined segment 2101 has three to six segments and the horizontal segment 2102 has three to six segments.

[0061] For example, both the inclined segment 2101 and the horizontal segment 2102 are provided with one section. In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the horizontal segment 2102 of the same hanging edge 210 is located at the end of the inclined segment 2101 away from the bracket body 100. In other embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the horizontal segment 2102 of the same hanging edge 210 is located at the end of the inclined segment 2101 near the hanging frame body 100.

[0062] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the bracket body 100 is provided with fixing holes 110 for the connector to pass through. The bracket body 100 is connected to the water heater body through the connector, which facilitates assembly.

[0063] For example, the side of the bracket body 100 facing the water heater body can be fitted against the water heater body, and with the connection of the connector, the connection between the bracket body 100 and the water heater body can be stable and reliable. The side of the bracket body 100 facing the water heater body can be designed as an arc-shaped surface that fits against the water heater body.

[0064] For example, the fixing hole 110 is provided with at least two holes to ensure a stable and reliable connection between the bracket body 100 and the water heater body.

[0065] For example, the fixing hole 110 can be an oblong hole to facilitate adjustment of the position of the bracket body 100 relative to the water heater body.

[0066] For example, the connector can be a bolt.

[0067] In one feasible implementation, the bracket body 100 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 120 so that the bracket body 100 has good structural strength.

[0068] For example, the first reinforcing ribs 120 are spaced apart along the length of the bracket to ensure that the bracket body 100 has good structural strength.

[0069] For example, the bracket body 100 is provided with two first reinforcing ribs 120 spaced apart along the height direction of the bracket, and the fixing hole 110 is located between the two first reinforcing ribs 120 to ensure that the bracket body 100 has good structural strength.

[0070] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the hook part 200 is provided with a hanging hole 220. The water heater body can be hung on the hanging hole 220 by the plate-shaped hook 30 or the screw 20 passing through the hanging hole 220 to install it on a fixed object, so as to improve the applicability of the bracket.

[0071] For example, the hanging hole 220 can be an oblong hole.

[0072] For example, the screw connector 20 can be an expansion bolt.

[0073] For example, two plate-shaped hooks 30 on the fixing object, each corresponding to a hook portion 200, can be integrated onto a hanging plate (not shown). That is, the hanging plate is provided with two plate-shaped hooks 30. By fixing the hanging plate to the fixing object, the plate-shaped hooks 30 are fixed relative to the fixing object. In this embodiment, the hanging plate can be fixed to the wall with expansion screws.

[0074] In one feasible implementation, the hook portion 200 is provided with a second reinforcing rib 230 so that the hook portion 200 has good structural strength.

[0075] For example, the second reinforcing rib 230 is L-shaped and includes a first reinforcing portion 231 and a second reinforcing portion 232 that are connected to each other. The first reinforcing portion 231 extends along the length direction of the bracket, and the second reinforcing portion 232 extends along the height direction of the bracket to ensure that the hook portion 200 has good structural strength. In this embodiment, the second reinforcing portion 232 extends to the first limiting protrusion 211 to further ensure that the hook portion 200 has good structural strength.

[0076] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the hanger has a plate-like structure, and both the hanger body 100 and the hook portion 200 have folded edges 300 on their outer peripheries and are connected as a whole. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the folded edge 300 of the hook portion 200 gradually decreases along the length direction of the hanger from the end facing the hanger body 100 to the end facing away from the hanger body 100, ensuring good structural strength of the hook portion 200 while facilitating hook attachment. It can be understood that the hanging edge 210 is a part of the folded edge 300.

[0077] This embodiment also provides a water heater, which includes a water heater body and the aforementioned bracket, with the bracket body 100 connected to the water heater body. In this embodiment, the bracket effectively ensures that the water heater body remains horizontal after installation, and eliminates the need to drill new holes in the fixing object for the hook 10 to secure it.

[0078] In the specific implementation of the above embodiments, the technical features can be combined in any non-contradictory way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0079] The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
