Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal bracket technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable metal bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, many walls need to be fitted with load-bearing items such as air conditioners or shelves. The existing ones are usually fixed brackets or simple brackets, which use two L-shaped support rods to support or fix the items to the wall.

[0003] However, when the items installed on the shelf need to be changed, the two fixed-distance L-shaped support rods cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the items installed, making it lack versatility. At the same time, the existing L-shaped support rods are usually perpendicular to the wall, which can easily cause accidental slippage when some smooth or round items are placed on the shelf. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable metal bracket. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing metal brackets have fixed spacing, lack versatility, and cannot adjust the tilt angle, which reduces their flexibility of use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable metal bracket includes a fixed base. Two sliding plates are symmetrically slidably connected to the outer side of the fixed base. The fixed base drives the two sliding plates to slide symmetrically via a driving mechanism. A top rod is rotatably connected to the outer side of each sliding plate. A support rod is rotatably connected to the outer side of each sliding plate. A limit block is slidably connected to the bottom surface of each top rod. The other end of each support rod is rotatably connected to a corresponding limit block. Each limit block restricts its sliding position on the top rod via a limiting mechanism. A placement plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of each of the two top rods. A connecting plate is slidably connected to both placement plates.

[0007] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the specific implementation method is as follows: by setting a drive mechanism and a sliding plate, the two sliding plates can slide symmetrically, thereby changing the distance between the two sliding plates. At the same time, by using a support rod, a top rod, and a limiting block, the position of the limiting block on the bottom surface of the top rod can be changed, and then the limiting mechanism can restrict the limiting block to the position of the top rod, thereby changing the rotation angle of the top rod. This makes it easier to change the tilt angle between the placement plate and the connecting plate according to the specific shape of the object being placed, thereby improving the flexibility of the device.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the driving mechanism includes multiple slide rails, which are fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed base. Each slide rail has two sliders symmetrically slidably connected inside it, and the outer sides of multiple sliders on the same side are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the corresponding slide plate. One of the slide rails is rotatably connected to a double-ended screw, and the two corresponding sliders are threadedly connected to the double-ended screw.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, each of the limiting mechanisms includes multiple grooves, and each groove is symmetrically opened in a corresponding limiting block. Each groove is elastically slidably connected to a limiting post. Each limiting post has a handle fixedly installed on its side, and each handle is slidably connected in a corresponding groove. Each top rod has multiple positioning grooves on its outer side, and each limiting post is engaged in a corresponding positioning groove.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a spring is fixedly mounted on the outer side of each handle, and the other end of each spring is fixedly connected to the sidewall of a corresponding groove.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the double-ended screw passes through a corresponding slide rail and is fitted with a knob.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, each of the top rods is fixedly mounted with a mounting base on its top surface, and each mounting base has a plurality of mounting holes symmetrically opened on its top surface.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, each of the slide rails is provided with an I-shaped groove, and each slider is slidably connected in the corresponding I-shaped groove.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of hanging ears are symmetrically installed on the outer side of the fixing base, and each hanging ear has a plurality of mounting holes.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model, by setting up a double-headed screw, slider, slide rail, and slide plate, realizes that by turning the knob, the double-headed screw is driven to rotate, and then, under the limit of the I-shaped groove, the two sliders connected by symmetrical threads slide towards each other, and drive the two slide plates to slide towards each other. Thus, the distance between the slide plates can be flexibly changed according to the width of the object to be installed, thereby increasing the universality of the device.

[0017] 2. This utility model, by setting up a support rod, a top rod, a sliding plate, a positioning groove, a limiting post, and a limiting block, achieves the following: by driving the limiting post inward with the handle, the limiting post is moved out of the positioning groove. Then, the limiting block is slid, and at the same time, both ends of the support rod rotate simultaneously. Then, the handle is released, and under the action of the spring, the limiting post is re-locked in the positioning groove. Thus, by changing the sliding position of the limiting block, the rotation angle of the top rod is changed, allowing the rotation angle of the flexible top rod to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the object, so as to meet diverse needs.

[0018] In summary, this utility model is simple to operate and allows for flexible adjustment of the spacing between the slide plates according to the width of the object being installed, thereby increasing the versatility of the device. Furthermore, by changing the sliding position of the limiting block, the rotation angle of the push rod can be altered, thus changing the tilt angle of the object on the push rod. This allows the rotation angle of the push rod to be adjusted flexibly according to the characteristics of the object, easily meeting diverse needs. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 An adjustable metal bracket includes a fixed base 1. Two sliding plates 4 are symmetrically slidably connected to the outer side of the fixed base 1. The fixed base 1 drives the two sliding plates 4 to slide symmetrically through a drive mechanism. A top rod 6 is rotatably connected to the outer side of each sliding plate 4. A support rod 5 is rotatably connected to the outer side of each sliding plate 4. A limit block 15 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of each top rod 6. The other end of each support rod 5 is rotatably connected to the limit block 15 corresponding to the position. Each limit block 15 restricts the sliding position of the limit block 15 on the top rod 6 through a limit mechanism. A placement plate 7 is fixedly installed on the outer side of each of the two top rods 6. A connecting plate 8 is slidably connected to both placement plates 7.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the specific implementation method is as follows: by setting a drive mechanism and a sliding plate 4, the two sliding plates 4 can slide symmetrically, thereby changing the distance between the two sliding plates 4. At the same time, by using a support rod 5, a top rod 6, and a limiting block 15, the position of the limiting block 15 on the bottom surface of the top rod 6 can be changed. Then, the limiting mechanism restricts the limiting block 15 to the position of the top rod 6, thereby changing the rotation angle of the top rod 6. This makes it easier to change the tilt angle between the placement plate 7 and the connecting plate 8 according to the specific shape of the object being placed, thereby improving the flexibility of the device.

[0028] The drive mechanism includes multiple slide rails 3, which are fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed base 1. Each slide rail 3 has two sliders 9 symmetrically slidably connected inside. The outer sides of the multiple sliders 9 on the same side are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the corresponding slide plate 4. A double-ended screw 11 is rotatably connected inside one of the slide rails 3, and the two corresponding sliders 9 are threadedly connected to the double-ended screw 11. It is worth noting that the thread has self-locking properties. Therefore, when the double-ended screw 11 stops rotating, the positions of the two corresponding sliders 9 are fixed, thereby fixing the position of the slide plate 4. At the same time, the arrangement of multiple slide rails 3 and sliders 9 can enhance the stability and support strength of the device.

[0029] Each limiting mechanism includes multiple grooves 19, and each groove 19 is symmetrically opened in the corresponding limiting block 15. Each groove 19 is elastically slidably connected to a limiting post 16. Each limiting post 16 has a handle 17 fixedly installed on its side, and each handle 17 is slidably connected in the corresponding groove 19. Each push rod 6 has multiple positioning grooves 14 on its outer side, and each limiting post 16 is locked in the corresponding positioning groove 14. By sliding the handle 17, the limiting post 16 can be moved to slide, thereby disengaging it from the positioning groove 14, and thus allowing the limiting block 15 to slide.

[0030] Each handle 17 is fixedly mounted with a spring 18 on its outer side, and the other end of each spring 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the groove 19 corresponding to the position. The spring 18 can make the limiting post 16 tightly locked in the positioning groove 14, making it difficult to fall out of the positioning groove 14, while also allowing the user to flexibly change the position.

[0031] One end of the double-ended screw 11 passes through the corresponding slide rail 3 and is equipped with a knob 12. The double-ended screw 11 is driven by turning the knob 12.

[0032] Each top rod 6 is fixedly mounted with an assembly base 13. Each assembly base 13 has multiple symmetrically opened assembly holes on its top surface. Some objects can be fixed to the top surface of the top rod 6 by bolts or other tools through the assembly base 13.

[0033] Each slide rail 3 has an I-shaped groove 10, and each slider 9 is slidably connected in the corresponding I-shaped groove 10. The I-shaped groove 10 prevents the slider 9 from rotating, thereby improving the stability and guiding properties of the slider 9.

[0034] Multiple hanging ears 2 are symmetrically installed on the outer side of the fixing base 1. Each hanging ear 2 has multiple mounting holes. When the fixing base 1 is installed on the wall, the force can be evenly distributed due to the symmetrical distribution of the multiple hanging ears 2, which improves the stability of the installation. At the same time, the multiple mounting holes provide more choices and flexibility.

[0035] When using this utility model, firstly, the fixing base 1 is fixed to the wall by the expansion screw and the mounting hole passing through the hanging ear 2. Then, the knob 12 is turned to drive the double-headed screw 11 to rotate. Then, under the limit of the I-shaped groove 10, the two sliders 9 connected by symmetrical threads slide towards each other, thereby driving the two slide plates 4 to slide towards each other. This makes it easy to flexibly change the distance between the slide plates 4 according to the width of the object being installed, thereby increasing the versatility of the device.

[0036] If an object needs to be fixed, it can be fixed to the top surface of the top rod 6 by bolts or other tools through the mounting base 13 installed on the top surface of each top rod 6. If an object only needs to be placed, it can be placed directly on the top surface of the placement plate 7 or the connecting plate 8 to support the object.

[0037] Meanwhile, when the surface of the object is smooth or the fixed installation needs to change the tilt angle of the object, the handle 17 can be used to drive the limiting post 16 to slide inward, thereby driving the limiting post 16 to disengage from the positioning groove 14. Then, the limiting block 15 is slid, and at the same time as the limiting block 15 is slid, the two ends of the support rod 5 are rotated simultaneously. Then, the handle 17 is released, and under the action of the spring 18, the limiting post 16 is re-locked in the positioning groove 14, thereby realizing the limiting of the limiting block 15. Since the length of the support rod 5 is fixed, the tilt angle of the top rod 6 can be changed by the support of the support rod 5, so that the rotation angle of the top rod 6 can be flexibly changed according to the characteristics of the object, which can meet diverse needs.

[0038] The above description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
