Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar water heater technology, specifically relating to solar water heater mounting brackets. Background Technology

[0002] Solar energy, as a clean and renewable natural energy source, has enormous potential. Therefore, solar water heaters have emerged as a highly efficient device for heating water using solar energy. A solar water heater typically consists of a water tank, collector tubes, support rods, and extension rods, all working together to convert and store heat energy. In sunny areas, solar water heaters, with their unique heat collection design, can efficiently absorb and utilize solar energy to heat the water inside. This process is not only environmentally friendly and energy-saving, but also provides a stable and reliable hot water supply for households.

[0003] However, despite the numerous advantages that solar water heaters offer in terms of hot water supply, some problems still exist during installation and use. Current solar water heater mounting brackets primarily focus on support functions and lack adaptability to changes in the actual environment. This makes it difficult to flexibly adjust the collector tubes according to factors such as the angle of sunlight and seasonal changes. Consequently, the collector tubes cannot always maintain the optimal angle, limiting the water heater's solar energy absorption efficiency and affecting its heating effect. In seasons with shorter sunshine hours, such as winter, it is often impossible to supply hot water at a suitable temperature, thus limiting the use of solar water heaters to some extent. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model designs a solar water heater mounting bracket to allow for angle adjustment of the solar water heater's collector tubes according to actual environmental conditions, thereby ensuring the water heater's solar energy absorption efficiency.

[0005] This utility model discloses a solar water heater mounting bracket, comprising a solar water heater body composed of a water tank, heat collection tubes, support rods, and a drag rod. The water tank is supported on both sides by hooks, which connect to a support plate at the rear. The support plate is mounted on a support frame. The support frame includes an optical axis passing through both sides of the support plate. The top of the optical axis is connected to a top plate, and the bottom of the optical axis is connected to a rotating seat. A lead screw is threaded downwards through the center of the top plate and threadedly connected to the center of the support plate. The rotating seat has slide rails on both sides, with rollers installed within the slide rails. The rollers are connected to a connecting shaft via bearings, and the ends of the connecting shaft are threadedly connected to threaded holes on both sides of the drag rod. The rotating seat is mounted on a base, and a rotation drive mechanism is installed inside the base and connected to the center of the bottom of the rotating seat. The rotation drive mechanism includes a rotating shaft with one end fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat, and the other end rotatably connected inside the base. A worm gear is mounted on the rotating shaft, and a worm is connected to the worm gear. One end of the worm penetrates the side wall of the base and is connected to the output shaft of a servo motor.

[0006] The top of the lead screw is connected to the output shaft of a stepper motor mounted on the top plate, and the bottom of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotary seat.

[0007] The rotating seat is configured as a hollow U-shaped seat, with a cross plate connecting the middle of the U-shaped seat, and the center of the cross plate is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0008] The slide rails are respectively horizontally installed on the two parallel frames of the U-shaped frame, and the inner opening of the slide rail is smaller than the diameter of the roller, while the outer opening of the slide rail is equal to the diameter of the roller.

[0009] The base is also connected to mounting legs.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the solar water heater mounting bracket of this utility model supports the water tank with hooks, and then connects the water tank, collector tubes, support rods, and trailing rods to form the solar water heater body. Rollers are connected to both ends of the trailing rods, and the rollers are connected to the slide rails on both sides of the rotating seat. At this time, the height of the support plate connected to the hooks can be adjusted by rotating the screw to adjust the placement angle of the collector tubes. Then, driven by the rotation drive mechanism in the base, the rotating seat rotates, causing the solar water heater body to rotate, thereby adjusting the overall orientation of the solar water heater body. This allows for angle adjustment of the solar collector tubes according to the actual environmental conditions, ensuring the water heater's solar energy absorption efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] To improve the adaptability of the solar water heater and enable it to adjust according to actual environmental conditions, thus ensuring the solar energy absorption efficiency of collector tube 2. (See also...) Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, a solar water heater mounting bracket is provided, comprising a solar water heater body consisting of a water tank 1, a collector tube 2, a support rod 3, and a drag rod 4. The water tank 1 is supported on both sides by hooks 5, which are semi-circular and used to support both sides of the water tank 1. Simultaneously, the rotation of the water tank 1 is unrestricted within the hooks 5, simplifying installation. The hooks 5 connect rearward to a support plate 6, which is mounted on a support frame 7. The support frame 7 includes an optical axis 701 penetrating both sides of the support plate 6. The top of the optical axis 701 is connected to a top plate 702, and the bottom of the optical axis 701 is connected to a rotating seat 8. A lead screw 703 is connected downwards through the center of the top plate 702, and the lead screw 703 is connected to the support plate 6. The center threaded connection connects the top of the lead screw 703 to the output shaft of the stepper motor 704 mounted on the top plate 702, and the bottom of the lead screw 703 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating seat 8. The rotating seat 8 has slide rails 801 on both sides, and rollers 9 are installed in the slide rails 801. The rollers 9 are connected to the connecting shaft 902 through bearings 901. The end of the connecting shaft 902 is threadedly connected to the threaded holes 401 on both sides of the drag rod 4. After the water tank 1 is mounted on the hook 5, the solar water heater body is assembled. Finally, the connecting shaft 902 with rollers 9 is connected to both ends of the drag rod 4. After connection, the rollers 9 are located inside the slide rails 801 on both sides of the rotating seat 8 and can slide freely. When it is necessary to adjust the angle between the collector tube 2 and the horizontal plane, the stepper motor 704 drives the lead screw 703 to rotate, thereby moving the support plate 6 up and down, that is, adjusting the height of the water tank 1. At the same time, the roller 9 at the drag bar 4 adapts to the sliding within the slide rail 801 to generate displacement, thus completing the height and angle adjustment of the collector tube 2, so as to better adapt to the actual environmental conditions and improve the efficiency of the collector tube 2 in absorbing solar energy.

[0022] The rotating seat 8 is installed on the base 10. The base 10 is equipped with a rotating drive mechanism 11 connected to the center of the bottom of the rotating seat 8. The rotating seat 8 is driven to rotate by the drive mechanism installed inside the base 10 to adjust the orientation of the solar water heater body so that it moves according to the sun's offset to maximize the absorption of solar energy.

[0023] The rotary drive mechanism 11 in this embodiment includes a rotating shaft 1101 with one end fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat 8, and the other end of the rotating shaft 1101 rotatably connected to the inside of the base 10. A worm gear 1102 is installed on the rotating shaft 1101, and a worm 1103 is connected to the worm gear 1102. One end of the worm 1103 passes through the side wall of the base 10 and is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 1104. The servo motor 1104 drives the rotation of the worm 1103, which drives the worm gear 1102 to rotate, thereby rotating the rotating seat 8 connected to the rotating shaft 1101. The drive mechanism of the worm gear 1102 and worm 1103 has a large transmission ratio, smooth transmission, and self-locking properties, which improves the rotational stability of the solar water heater body.

[0024] In order to reduce the weight of the rotary seat 8 and reduce the driving pressure of the servo motor 1104, the rotary seat 8 is set as a hollow U-shaped seat, and a cross plate 802 is set in the middle of the U-shaped seat for connection. The center of the cross plate 802 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 1101.

[0025] Meanwhile, with the U-shaped base, the slide rails 801 are horizontally installed on the two parallel frames of the U-shaped frame. The inner opening of the slide rail 801 is smaller than the diameter of the roller 9, and the outer opening of the slide rail 801 is equal to the diameter of the roller 9. This allows the connecting shaft 902 to pass through the slide rail 801 and connect to the threaded hole 401 of the drag rod 4 when the roller 9 is installed. After tightening the connecting shaft 902, the roller 9 is tightly attached to the inside of the slide rail 801. This not only fixes the drag rod 4, but also prevents the drag rod 4 from rising along with the solar water heater body during the height increase, ensuring the adjustment stability of the solar water heater.

[0026] In this embodiment, a mounting leg 12 is also connected to the bottom of the base 10, and the entire mounting bracket is fixed in the preset installation position by the mounting leg 12.

[0027] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not describe all details exhaustively, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
