[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plumbing pipe installation technology, specifically a fixing structure for plumbing pipe installation. Background Technology

[0002] In residential buildings, plumbing fittings are used to construct water supply, drainage, and heating systems. For example, hot and cold water supply systems in kitchens and bathrooms use PPR (random copolymer polypropylene) fittings for heat fusion connections, which have good temperature resistance and sealing properties; underfloor heating systems use PE-RT (heat-resistant polyethylene) pipes and matching fittings, which can adapt to temperature changes in hot water circulation and provide residents with a comfortable heating environment.

[0003] Public buildings such as schools, hospitals, and office buildings have large-scale and frequently used plumbing systems. In the drainage systems of large bathrooms, large-diameter, high-strength drainage pipes are required to ensure smooth drainage; while the supply of chilled and hot water in central air conditioning systems relies on pressure-resistant and heat-insulating metal or composite pipes.

[0004] In residential homes, these structures are used to connect various water pipes and heating pipes. For example, in kitchens and bathrooms, hot and cold water pipes are securely fixed to walls or floors using a fixing structure. This prevents pipe displacement or loosening due to water flow impact or minor bumps during daily use, ensuring a stable water supply for the household. In heating systems, the fixing structure secures the heating pipes, ensuring their stability during heating and preventing deformation or detachment of pipes due to thermal expansion and contraction.

[0005] Regarding the existing related technologies, the inventor believes that there are the following drawbacks: In the installation of plumbing fittings, the traditional fixing method is generally to fix them by bolt connection, but workers need to use tools to install and remove the bolts, which is inconvenient for the installation and removal of plumbing fittings and the operation is relatively cumbersome.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 This embodiment provides a fixing structure for installing plumbing pipes, including a fixed ring 1 and a movable ring 2. One end of the fixed ring 1 is hinged to one end of the movable ring 2. A pipe body 3 is provided inside the fixed ring 1 and the movable ring 2. A connecting block 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed ring 1. A slider 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 4. An extension plate 6 is movably connected to the slider 5. A side plate 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the extension plate 6. An insert block 10 is fixedly connected to the other end of the movable ring 2. A slot 11 is machined on the other end of the fixed ring 1. The insert block 10 is inserted into the slot 11. A pull block 12 is provided on one side of the fixed ring 1. A connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the pull block 12. The connecting rod 13 is movably connected to the inside of the fixed ring 1. A locking tongue 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 13. One end of the locking tongue 14 is inserted into the insert block 10.

[0023] When installing plumbing fittings, first pull the pull block 12. The pull block 12 will move the connecting rod 13, which will then move the locking tongue 14, disengaging the locking tongue 14 from the inside of the insert block 10. Then, rotate the movable ring 2, disengaging the insert block 10 at one end of the movable ring 2 from the inside of the slot 11, thereby opening the fixed ring 1 and the movable ring 2, making it easier to place the pipe body 3 inside the fixed ring 1 and the movable ring 2. Then, rotate the movable ring 2 again, causing the insert block 10 at one end of the movable ring 2 to rotate and insert into the inside of the slot 11. The movement of the insert block 10 inside the slot 11 will squeeze the locking tongue 14, causing the locking tongue 14 to retract into the inside of the groove 17. When the insert block 10 is fully inserted into the inside of the slot 11, the return spring 15 will push the locking tongue 14 into the inside of the limiting groove 16, thereby limiting and locking the insert block 10, and thus fixing the fixed ring 1 and the movable ring 2 together, facilitating the fixed installation of plumbing fittings.

[0024] Furthermore, one end of the movable ring 2 is fixedly connected to a hinge seat 8, and one end of the fixed ring 1 is machined with a hinge groove 9. The hinge seat 8 is rotatably connected inside the hinge groove 9. When the movable ring 2 rotates around the fixed ring 1, the movable ring 2 will drive the hinge seat 8 to rotate around the inside of the hinge groove 9.

[0025] Furthermore, a limiting groove 16 is machined on one side of the insert block 10, and the locking tongue 14 is plugged into the inside of the limiting groove 16. A groove 17 is machined on one side of the slot 11, and the locking tongue 14 is movably connected to the inside of the groove 17.

[0026] When the pull block 12 is pulled, the pull block 12 will drive the locking tongue 14 to move through the connecting rod 13, so that the locking tongue 14 will disengage from the inside of the limiting groove 16 and enter the inside of the groove 17, thereby releasing the locking of the insert 10, and thus allowing the insert 10 to disengage from the inside of the slot 11.

[0027] Furthermore, a return spring 15 is provided on the outside of the connecting rod 13. One end of the return spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inside of the pull block 12, and the other end of the return spring 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing ring 1. With the return spring 15 provided, when the pull block 12 is pulled, the pull block 12 will drive the return spring 15 to stretch. When the pull block 12 is released, the return spring 15 will return to its original position and retract. The return spring 15 will drive the connecting rod 13 to move, thereby allowing the locking tongue 14 to be inserted into the interior of the limiting groove 16.

[0028] Furthermore, a turntable 18 is provided at one end of the extension plate 6, and a threaded rod 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the turntable 18. One end of the threaded rod 19 is threadedly connected to the inside of the slider 5. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the fixed ring 1 and the movable ring 2 and the wall, the turntable 18 is rotated, the turntable 18 will drive the threaded rod 19 to rotate, the threaded rod 19 will drive the slider 5 to move, the slider 5 will drive the connecting block 4 to move, and the connecting block 4 will drive the fixed ring 1 and the movable ring 2 to move.

[0029] Furthermore, a fixing block 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 5. The fixing block 20 is located at the bottom of the extension plate 6. The movement of the slider 5 will cause the fixing block 20 to move along the bottom of the extension plate 6. By providing the fixing block 20, the fixing block 20 will limit the movement of the slider 5.

[0030] Working principle: First, pull the pull block 12, which will drive the connecting rod 13 and the locking tongue 14 to move, so that the locking tongue 14 is disengaged from the inside of the insert block 10. Then, rotate the movable ring 2, so that the insert block 10 at one end of the movable ring 2 is disengaged from the inside of the slot 11, thereby opening the fixed ring 1 and the movable ring 2 to insert the pipe body 3. Then, rotate the movable ring 2 again, and the movement of the insert block 10 inside the slot 11 will squeeze the locking tongue 14, causing the locking tongue 14 to retract into the inside of the groove 17. When the insert block 10 is completely inserted into the inside of the slot 11, the return spring 15 will push the locking tongue 14 into the inside of the limiting groove 16, thereby fixing the fixed ring 1 and the movable ring 2 together, which facilitates the fixed installation of water heating pipes.

[0031] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
