Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a testing device that facilitates the hanging of a water heater. Background Technology

[0002] During the water heater testing process, the water heater is frequently hung up or removed from the testing device. Because the fixing column on the testing device is located at a relatively high position, usually about 1.9m above the ground, the fixing column is not visible when the water heater is suspended, making it difficult to align the positioning groove on the water heater with the fixing column on the testing platform.

[0003] The current installation method relies solely on intuition for suspension. For heavier water heaters, testers expend considerable effort aligning the positioning slot with the fixing post by feel during the suspension process. If the tester is not tall enough or lacks strength, the water heater may fall and injure them. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defect in the prior art that the positioning groove and the fixed column are difficult to align, and to provide a testing device that facilitates the hanging of water heaters.

[0070] The present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings, using a preferred embodiment.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a testing device 100 for facilitating the hanging of a water heater. The testing device 100 includes: a device bracket 1, a fixing part 2, and a support part 3.

[0072] The fixing part 2 is provided on the device bracket 1 and is used to fix the top of the water heater.

[0073] The support part 3 includes a support base 31 and a sliding seat 32 slidably disposed on the support base 31. The support base 31 is installed on the device bracket 1 through the height adjustment component 4, and the sliding seat 32 is used to fix the bottom of the water heater.

[0074] In this way, by setting the support part 3 on the device bracket 1, the water heater to be installed can be placed on the support part 3. The support part 3 bears the weight of the water heater, making the installation process easier and avoiding the problem that the water heater may fall and injure the installer due to insufficient height or strength. Furthermore, by setting the support part 3 to include a support base 31 installed on the device bracket 1 and a sliding seat 32 slidably set on the support base 31 for fixing the bottom of the water heater, the water heater is fixed on the sliding seat 32, and the water heater is moved to the preset position corresponding to the fixing part 2 through the sliding seat 32, so as to fix the top of the water heater. This makes it easier to position the water heater's hanging hole and the fixing part 2, making the installation simpler.

[0075] Specifically, the support base 31 has a horizontally oriented groove 311, and the sliding seat 32 is slidably disposed in the groove 311. The horizontal direction is parallel to the ground and can be either the length or width direction of the support base 31. In this embodiment, the groove 311 is oriented along the width direction W of the support base 31. However, it is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the groove 311 can also be oriented along the length direction L of the support base 31.

[0076] Guide rails 3211 are provided on the opposite side walls of the sliding seat 32 along the horizontal direction; guide grooves 3111 are provided in the sliding grooves 311 of the support seat 31 corresponding to the positions of the guide rails 3211. The guide rails 3211 slide in the guide grooves 3111. Through the cooperation of the guide rails 3211 and the guide grooves 3111, the sliding seat 32 can be guided and limited, so that the sliding seat 32 can slide more smoothly and accurately to the preset position, which facilitates the next step of fixing the upper end of the water heater to the fixing part 2. The horizontal direction can be the length direction or the width direction of the sliding seat 32. The length direction of the sliding seat 32 is in the same direction as the length direction L of the support seat 31, and the width direction of the sliding seat 32 is in the same direction as the length direction L of the support seat 31. In this embodiment, since the slide groove 311 is provided along the width direction W of the support base 31, the sliding seat 32 corresponding to the slide groove 311 slides on the support base 31 along the width direction W. Therefore, the two opposite side walls of the sliding seat 32 with the guide rail 3211 refer to the two side walls of the sliding seat 32 provided along the length direction L. That is to say, the setting direction of the slide groove 311 determines the setting direction of the guide rail 3211.

[0077] A hollow area extending vertically H is provided on the bottom wall of the slide groove 311. This hollow area is used to avoid the water heater's piping components, which pass through the hollow area. By providing this hollow area, the piping components located at the bottom of the water heater are avoided, ensuring the proper testing of the water heater. The vertical direction H is perpendicular to the horizontal direction, and the height direction of the support base 31 is in the same direction as the vertical direction H.

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, a first fixing part 51 is detachably installed at the bottom of the water heater 5. Specifically, the first fixing part 51 is a lower mounting plate, and a through first fixing hole 511 is opened on the lower mounting plate along the thickness direction. A second fixing part 52 is detachably installed at the top of the water heater 5. Specifically, the second fixing part 52 is an upper mounting plate, and a through second fixing hole 521 is opened on the upper mounting plate along the thickness direction.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, a positioning groove 322 extending vertically through the sliding seat 32 is provided on the sliding seat 32. The bottom end of the water heater 5 is fixed to the side wall of the positioning groove 322 by the first fixing part 51. Thus, by providing the positioning groove 322, it is convenient to fix the water heater 5 to the sliding seat 32. The side wall of the positioning groove 322 can serve as a positioning surface 3221, facilitating the fixing of the water heater 5 to the positioning surface 3221 by the first fixing part 51. Specifically, one end of the fixing member passes through the first fixing hole 511 of the first fixing part 51, and the other end is fixed to the positioning surface 3221, thereby achieving the fixing of the bottom end of the water heater 5.

[0080] The sliding seat 32 is also provided with a clearance hole 323 along the vertical direction H, which communicates with the positioning groove 322. The clearance hole 323 is used to avoid the piping assembly of the water heater 5, and the piping assembly of the water heater 5 passes through the clearance hole 323. The orthographic projection of the clearance hole 323 along the vertical direction H is located within the outer periphery of the water heater 5. In this way, by setting the clearance hole 323, the piping assembly located at the bottom of the water heater 5 is avoided, ensuring the normal testing of the water heater 5.

[0081] In this embodiment, the device support 1 includes a base 12 and a main body 11 fixed on the base 12. The base 12 is arranged in a horizontal direction, and the main body 11 is arranged in a vertical direction H.

[0082] The support part 3 is detachably connected to the main body 11 via the height adjustment component 4. The support part 3 can move up and down or be fixed relative to the main body 11 in the vertical direction H. In this way, by setting the height adjustment component 4 to be detachably connected to the main body 11, the support part 3 can move and be fixed in the vertical direction H, so that the height of the support part 3 can be adjusted according to the size of the water heater 5, which can meet the needs of different water heaters 5 and has strong adaptability.

[0083] However, this is not the only option. In other embodiments, the support part 3 can be movably connected to the main body 11 via a height adjustment component 4, allowing the support part 3 to move up and down or be fixed relative to the main body 11 in the vertical direction H. Thus, by movably connecting the height adjustment component 4 to the main body 11, the support part 3 can move and be fixed in the vertical direction H, enabling the height of the support part 3 to be adjusted according to the size of the water heater 5, meeting the needs of different water heaters 5 and demonstrating strong adaptability.

[0084] Specifically, the height adjustment assembly 4 includes multiple fixing bolts 41, which are respectively located on both sides of the support part 3 close to the main body 11. The main body 11 has through grooves 111 along the vertical direction H on both sides, through which the fixing bolts 41 pass to fix the support part 3. Thus, the height of the support part 3 is adjustable by means of the fixing bolts 41. The support part 3 can be movably connected to the device bracket 1 by sliding along the through grooves 111 by loosening the fixing bolts 41, or detachably connected by removing the fixing bolts 41.

[0085] The device bracket 1 also includes a height gauge 112, which is located on one side of the main body 11 and abuts against the through groove 111. In this way, by setting the height gauge 112, a reading can be taken when adjusting the height of the support part 3 to make the fixed position of the support part 3 more accurate, and further facilitate the installation of the water heater 5.

[0086] Specifically, the fixing part 2 is a fixing post, which is located in the upper middle area of ​​the device bracket 1 and extends horizontally out of the device bracket 1. By making the fixing part 2 a fixing post, the installation of the water heater 5 becomes more convenient and stable. Furthermore, the fixing post is located on the vertical axis of symmetry of the device bracket 1, thus ensuring the overall stability of the device after the water heater 5 is suspended. In other embodiments, those skilled in the art can also choose other suitable fixing components such as fixing hooks, and can also add fasteners to the fixing components to improve the safety of the water heater 5 after suspension. The water heater 5 is fixed to the fixing post by the second fixing part 52. Specifically, the top of the water heater 5 is fixed by the end of the fixing post away from the device bracket 1 passing through the second fixing hole 521 of the second fixing part 52.

[0087] In this embodiment, by providing a support part 3 on the device bracket 1, the water heater 5 to be installed can be placed on the support part 3. The support part 3 bears the weight of the water heater 5, making the installation process easier and avoiding the problem that the water heater 5 may fall and injure the installer due to insufficient height or strength. Furthermore, by providing a support part 3 including a support base 31 installed on the device bracket 1 and a sliding seat 32 slidably disposed on the support base 31 for fixing the bottom end of the water heater 5, the water heater 5 is fixed on the sliding seat 32, and the water heater 5 is moved to a preset position corresponding to the fixing part 2 through the sliding seat 32, so as to fix the top of the water heater 5. This makes it easier to position the hanging hole of the water heater 5 and the fixing part 2, making the installation simpler.

[0088] The specific operation steps of the testing device 100 in this embodiment are as follows:

[0089] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, measure the distance from the first fixing hole 521 of the second fixing part 52 of the water heater 5 to the first fixing hole 511 of the first fixing part 51; adjust the height of the support base 31 to the corresponding height according to the height gauge 112, and fix the support base 31 to the main body 11 with two bolts on the left and right; after placing the water heater 5 on the sliding seat 32, pass one end of the fastener through the first fixing hole 511 and fix the other end to the positioning surface 3221, thereby fixing the bottom of the water heater 5.

[0090] like Figure 9 As shown, after completing the above steps, push the sliding seat 32 to the preset position to align the second fixing part 52 with the fixing column and complete the suspension. This process does not require the height of the test personnel.

[0091] The testing device 100, which facilitates the hanging of the water heater 5, is simple to operate and has the following advantages:

[0092] 1. Regardless of the weight of the water heater 5, during the suspension process, the water heater 5 only needs to be placed on the sliding seat 32, and there is no need to hold the water heater 5 all the time, which reduces the strength requirements for the tester.

[0093] 2. As long as the first fixing part 51 (lower hanging plate) of the water heater 5 can be fixed to the fixing surface in the positioning groove 322 of the sliding seat 32, the alignment of the fixing column and the second fixing part 52 (upper hanging plate) can be completed. The tester does not need to align the two by hand, and there are no requirements on the height of the tester.

[0094] 3. The height of the support base 31 can be adjusted according to the size of the water heater 5, making it suitable for water heaters of various sizes and highly adaptable.

[0095] While specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
