Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0024] This utility model provides a multifunctional tent support device, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, it includes a bracket 1 and an anchoring mechanism 3.

[0025] The bracket 1 is used to install the outdoor unit 2 of the air conditioner.

[0026] The anchoring mechanism 3 includes a sleeve 31, an anchor rod 32, and a limiting plate 33. The sleeve 31 is connected to the bracket 1, the anchor rod 32 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 31, and the limiting plate 33 is connected to the end of the anchor rod 32. The anchor rod 32 is used to anchor to the ground so that the limiting plate 33 abuts against the sleeve 31 to fix the bracket 1 firmly.

[0027] In use, when it is necessary to fix the bracket 1 on which the outdoor unit 2 of the air conditioner is installed, first connect the sleeve 31 to the bracket 1. Then, insert the anchor rod 32 into the sleeve 31, and the anchor rod 32 can slide inside the sleeve 31. Align the anchor rod 32 with a suitable position on the ground, and gradually drive the anchor rod 32 into the ground with external force. As the anchor rod 32 continues to penetrate into the ground, the limiting plate 33 at the end of the anchor rod 32 will gradually approach the sleeve 31. When the anchor rod 32 is completely anchored into the ground to a suitable depth, the limiting plate 33 will tightly abut against the sleeve 31. At this time, an anchoring force is formed between the anchor rod 32 and the ground. Due to the obstruction of the limiting plate 33, the anchor rod 32 cannot continue to detach from the sleeve 31, thereby firmly fixing the sleeve 31 and the bracket 1 connected to it to the ground, achieving stable support for the bracket 1 on which the outdoor unit 2 of the air conditioner is installed.

[0028] In this invention, by anchoring the anchor rod 32 into the ground, the friction and resistance of the soil on the anchor rod 32, as well as the cooperation between the limiting plate 33 and the sleeve 31, make the bracket 1 tightly connected to the ground, which greatly improves the stability of the overall structure and ensures that the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 can operate safely and stably.

[0029] To control the depth of anchor bolt 32 into the soil, please refer to... Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the anchor rod 32 includes a screw 321 and a tip 322, the tip 322 being connected to the bottom end of the screw 321, and the limiting plate 33 being threadedly connected to the screw 321.

[0030] During installation, the position of the limiting plate 33 on the screw 321 can be adjusted by rotating it according to the ground conditions and actual needs. The tip 322 is connected to the bottom of the screw 321 and plays a crucial role when anchoring the anchor 32 into the ground. The screw 321 is the main body of the anchor 32. After being guided into the soil by the tip 322, the screw 321 continues to penetrate deeper, relying on friction and mechanical interlocking force with the soil to provide anchoring force. As the depth of the screw 321 increases, its contact area with the surrounding soil increases, and the friction between them also increases, effectively preventing the anchor 32 from being pulled out. Once the anchor 32 has been driven into the ground to a suitable depth, the limiting plate 33 is tightened to firmly abut against the sleeve 31. At this time, the limiting plate 33 restricts the anchor rod 32 from continuing to come out of the sleeve 31, ensuring that the bracket 1 is firmly connected to the ground; on the other hand, the tightening process can further increase the friction between the screw 321 and the soil, enhance the anchoring effect, and ensure the stability of the bracket 1 on which the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is installed.

[0031] To increase the contact area between anchor bolt 32 and the soil, please refer to... Figure 2In a preferred embodiment, the anchoring mechanism 3 further includes a pressure plate 34, which is threadedly connected to the screw 321. The pressure plate 34 is located between the sleeve 31 and the ground and is used to abut against the ground.

[0032] In use, the pressure plate 34 is installed between the sleeve 31 and the ground, and is connected to the screw rod 321 by threads. During the tightening process, the pressure plate 34 exerts downward pressure on the ground, while simultaneously receiving an upward reaction force from the ground. This pressure and reaction force ensure that the pressure plate 34 is tightly pressed against the ground and increases the friction between the anchor rod 32 and the ground. When the bracket 1 is subjected to external forces, the pressure plate 34 can better resist these forces, preventing the anchor rod 32 from shaking or being pulled out within the sleeve 31, thereby improving the stability of the entire anchoring mechanism 3 and ensuring that the bracket 1 on which the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is installed is stable and does not shift.

[0033] To ensure a tighter fit between the pressure plate 34 and the ground, please refer to... Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the anchoring mechanism 3 further includes an elastic layer 35, which is connected to the pressure plate 34 and located between the pressure plate 34 and the ground. The elastic layer 35 is used to abut against the ground and is made of rubber with a thickness of 2 mm.

[0034] During use, the ground is not perfectly flat and may have some minor undulations or unevenness. The elastic layer 35 can deform according to the actual shape of the ground, adapting to the unevenness. It can fill in the potholes and depressions, making the contact between the pressure plate 34 and the ground more compact and ensuring that the pressure is evenly distributed on the ground. In this way, even on uneven ground, the anchoring mechanism 3 can be ensured to function fully, enhancing the fixing effect on the bracket 1 and improving the stability of the entire device.

[0035] To properly adjust the distance between anchor bolt 32 and bracket 1, please refer to... Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the anchoring mechanism 3 further includes a telescopic component 36, the fixed end of which is connected to the bracket 1, and the movable end of which is connected to the sleeve 31. The telescopic component 36 is used to adjust the distance between the bracket 1 and the anchor rod 32.

[0036] During use, a proper distance between the bracket 1 and the anchor rod 32 helps improve the stability of the overall structure. The telescopic component 36 can fine-tune the distance according to the actual stress conditions. When the outdoor unit 2 of the air conditioner vibrates or is subjected to external forces, adjusting the telescopic component 36 can make the stress distribution between the bracket 1 and the anchor rod 32 more uniform, avoiding excessive local stress.

[0037] To adjust the distance between anchor rod 32 and bracket 1, please refer to... Figure 3In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic assembly 36 includes a first rod 361, a second rod 362, and a plug rod 363. The end of the first rod 361 is hinged to the bracket 1. The second rod 362 is slidably connected to the first rod 361 along the length direction of the first rod 361. The sleeve 31 is hinged to the end of the second rod 362 away from the first rod 361. The first rod 361 is provided with a socket 364. The second rod 362 is provided with a plurality of slots 365 spaced apart along the sliding direction of the second rod 362. The plug rod 363 is slidably connected to the socket 364 and any slot 365.

[0038] When using the device, to change the spacing, first pull the insert rod 363 out of its current socket 364 and slot 365 to release the lock on the second rod 362. At this point, the second rod 362 can slide freely on the first rod 361. Slide the second rod 362 to the appropriate position as needed. Since multiple slots 365 are spaced along the sliding direction on the second rod 362, after determining the position, insert the insert rod 363 into the corresponding slot 365 and socket 364, fixing the first rod 361 and the second rod 362 relatively, thus achieving precise adjustment of the spacing between the bracket 1 and the anchor rod 32. The hinge between the first rod 361 and the bracket 1, and the hinge between the sleeve 31 and the second rod 362, increases the flexibility of the assembly. During adjustment, the hinge point between the first rod 361 and the bracket 1 allows the entire telescopic assembly 36 to be angled according to the actual terrain and installation conditions, avoiding installation inconvenience caused by fixed connections.

[0039] To make it easier for the insert 363 to slide into the slot 365, please refer to... Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the end of the insertion rod 363 near the second rod body 362 is spherical.

[0040] In use, the ball-shaped end design reduces the precision requirements for the machining of the slot 365 and the socket 364 by the insert 363. Even if the slot 365 and the socket 364 have certain dimensional deviations or irregular shapes during manufacturing, the ball-shaped end can still fit them well, improving the applicability of the telescopic component 36.

[0041] To improve the stability of the 363 plug bar, please refer to... Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic component 36 further includes a spring 366, which is sleeved on the insert rod 363. One end of the spring 366 is connected to the insert rod 363, and the other end of the spring 366 is connected to the first rod 361. The spring 366 is in a stretched state, and the spring 366 causes the insert rod 363 to tend to slide towards the second rod 362.

[0042] In use, spring 366 is sleeved on insert rod 363, with one end connected to insert rod 363 and the other end connected to first rod 361, and is in a stretched state. The elastic restoring force generated by spring 366 provides a preload force to insert rod 363 in the direction of second rod 362, so that insert rod 363 always has a tendency to slide in the direction of second rod 362, ensuring that insert rod 363 can be tightly inserted into slot 365 of second rod 362, maintaining the relative fixation between first rod 361 and second rod 362, preventing insert rod 363 from accidentally coming out due to vibration, shaking or other reasons during use of the device, and enhancing the stability of the telescopic assembly 36 connection.

[0043] To ensure more even force distribution on bracket 1, please refer to... Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the anchoring mechanism 3 further includes a leveling component 37, which is disposed on the bracket 1 and is used to keep the bracket 1 in a horizontal state.

[0044] During use, if the bracket 1 is not level, some support points will bear excessive pressure, while other points will bear less force, resulting in uneven stress on the overall structure. By leveling the bracket 1 with the leveling component 37, the weight can be evenly distributed among the support points, reducing local stress concentration, lowering the risk of structural deformation and damage, and extending the service life of the anchoring mechanism 3.

[0045] To adjust bracket 1 to a horizontal position, please refer to... Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the leveling component 37 includes a plurality of bolts 371 and a pad 372. The bottom of the bracket 1 is provided with a plurality of screw holes, and the plurality of bolts 371 are respectively threaded into the plurality of screw holes. The pad 372 is connected to the bottom of the bolts 371. By controlling the length difference of the plurality of bolts 371 extending out of the bracket 1, the bracket 1 is kept in a horizontal state.

[0046] When using the bracket 1 on an uneven foundation, observe its tilt to determine which parts need to be raised or lowered. For relatively low parts, rotate the bolt 371 clockwise to increase its extension length from the bracket 1, thus raising that part of the bracket 1. For relatively high parts, rotate the corresponding bolt 371 counterclockwise to retract it, lowering the height of that part of the bracket 1. By continuously adjusting the extension length of each bolt 371 and repeatedly measuring and fine-tuning, the height of all support points of the bracket 1 is made consistent, ultimately ensuring that the bracket 1 is level.

[0047] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figure 1 - Figure 3The working principle of this utility model's multifunctional tent support device is explained in detail as follows: When the support frame 1 is placed on an uneven foundation, the tilt of the support frame 1 is observed to determine the parts that need to be raised or lowered. For relatively low parts, the bolt 321 at that position is rotated clockwise to increase its extension length from the support frame 1, thereby raising that part of the support frame 1. For relatively high parts, the corresponding bolt 321 is rotated counterclockwise to retract the bolt 321, lowering the height of that part of the support frame 1. By continuously adjusting the extension length of each bolt 321 and through repeated measurements and fine-tuning, the height of each support point of the support frame 1 is made consistent, ultimately bringing the support frame 1 to a horizontal position.

[0048] When the spacing needs to be changed, first pull the insert rod 363 out of its current position in the insertion hole 364 and slot 365 to release the lock on the second rod 362. At this time, the second rod 362 can slide freely on the first rod 361. According to the actual needs, slide the second rod 362 to the appropriate position. Since multiple slots 365 are set at intervals along the sliding direction on the second rod 362, after determining the position, insert the insert rod 363 into the corresponding slot 365 and insertion hole 364 to fix the first rod 361 and the second rod 362 relatively, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the spacing between the bracket 1 and the anchor rod 32. The first rod 361 is hinged to the bracket 1, and the sleeve 31 is hinged to the second rod 362. This design increases the flexibility of the component. During the adjustment process, the hinge point between the first rod 361 and the bracket 1 allows the entire telescopic component 36 to be angled according to the actual terrain and installation conditions, avoiding installation inconvenience caused by fixed connections.

[0049] When it is necessary to fix the bracket 1 on which the outdoor unit 2 of the air conditioner is installed, first connect the sleeve 31 to the bracket 1. Then, insert the anchor rod 32 into the sleeve 31, and the anchor rod 32 can slide inside the sleeve 31. Align the anchor rod 32 with a suitable position on the ground, and gradually drive the anchor rod 32 into the ground with external force. As the anchor rod 32 continues to penetrate into the ground, the limiting plate 33 at the end of the anchor rod 32 will gradually approach the sleeve 31. When the anchor rod 32 is completely anchored into the ground to a suitable depth, the limiting plate 33 will tightly abut against the sleeve 31. At this time, an anchoring force is formed between the anchor rod 32 and the ground. Due to the obstruction of the limiting plate 33, the anchor rod 32 cannot continue to detach from the sleeve 31, thereby firmly fixing the sleeve 31 and the bracket 1 connected to it to the ground, achieving stable support for the bracket 1 on which the outdoor unit 2 of the air conditioner is installed.

[0050] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
