Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of eaves rain gutters, specifically an adjustable built-in rain gutter support device. Background Technology
[0002] Rain gutters are typically fixed to the eaves using an external gutter bracket. This bracket consists of a rigid load-bearing rod and elastic fixing plates welded together. In use, the tip of the rigid load-bearing rod is nailed into the wall; the gutter is placed on the exposed part of the rigid load-bearing rod; the elastic fixing plates are manually bent to lock into the outer wall of the gutter, thus securing it. This external gutter bracket has several drawbacks: nailing the tip of the load-bearing rod into the wall is a manual operation, making it difficult to precisely control the depth, resulting in inconsistent tightness between the elastic fixing plates and the gutter's outer wall, affecting the installation effect; due to manufacturing precision issues, the contours of the elastic fixing plates and the gutter's outer wall are not perfectly aligned, affecting the bending and tightening of the fixing plates; gutters come in various sizes and outer wall shapes, and a single external gutter bracket has poor adaptability, requiring the production of different sizes of external gutter brackets for different gutter sizes and shapes; after installation, the external gutter bracket is visible, and due to issues with fit and color differences, the overall aesthetics are affected. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes an adjustable built-in eaves rainwater gutter bracket to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0004] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution: To achieve the above purpose, this utility model proposes an adjustable built-in rainwater trough bracket, including a support arm, a fixing plate and a friction sleeve; the support arm includes a rotating arm, a hook arm and an adjusting arm; the fixing plate includes a mounting plate, a fastening groove, a limiting plate and a positioning plate; the support arm and the fixing plate are connected by the rotating arm, and the connection method is friction fit.
[0005] Furthermore, the rotating arm includes a vertical rod, a bending transition rod, a horizontal transition rod, and a horizontal connecting rod; the hook arm includes a hook, a horizontal rod, and a connecting rod; the hook arm and the adjusting arm are connected by the connecting rod; the rotating arm and the adjusting arm are connected by the horizontal connecting rod.
[0006] Furthermore, the connecting rod is entirely externally threaded; the horizontal connecting rod is entirely externally threaded; and the adjusting arm is an internally threaded straight tube.
[0007] Furthermore, the vertical rod connects the support arm to the fixed plate, and the support arm hooks the water tank via hooks. The hooks are hook-like structures used to hook the outer edge of the water tank.
[0008] Furthermore, the length of the water tank support can be adjusted by adjusting the thread engagement length of the adjusting arm.
[0009] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with mounting holes; the fastening groove is a circular pocket groove that connects the fixing plate and the support arm, and is used to accommodate the inserted friction sleeve and the support arm; the limiting plate is used to limit the height of the support arm hook.
[0010] Furthermore, the positioning plate limits the inner wall of the water tank during installation; the outer side of the inner wall of the water tank fits against the side of the positioning plate, and the top surface of the inner wall of the water tank fits against the top surface of the positioning plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the friction sleeve is fitted onto the vertical rod, and the vertical rod with the friction sleeve is inserted into the fastening groove of the fixing plate and contacts the limiting plate; the friction sleeve is made of plastic or rubber.
[0012] Furthermore, the total length of the water tank support is increased by reducing the thread engagement length on both sides of the adjusting arm; the total length of the water tank support is reduced by increasing the thread engagement length on both sides of the adjusting arm.
[0013] Furthermore, the thread engagement length between the rotating arm and the adjusting arm shall not be less than half of the total thread length of the rotating arm itself; the thread engagement length between the hook arm and the adjusting arm shall not be less than half of the total thread length of the hook arm itself.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with external rain gutter brackets, the adjustable built-in eaves rain gutter bracket proposed in this utility model has the following significant effects: The bracket is provided with mounting holes for fixing the bracket to the wall surface. During construction, the installation position of each bracket can be more precisely controlled by drawing lines; the bracket is fixed to the side wall and outer edge of the rain gutter, and deviations in the outer wall contour of the rain gutter will not affect the use of the bracket; the bracket length is adjustable, allowing the bracket to better adapt to rain gutters of different widths and reducing the impact of the manufacturing precision of the rain gutter on the use of the bracket; due to the friction sleeve, the support arm and the fixing plate are in a frictional tight fit, thus enabling the rain gutter bracket to have rotation and folding functions. When the support arm is parallel to the fixing plate, it is in a folded state, which is convenient for packaging and transportation; when the support arm is at 90° to the fixing plate, it is in the working state; the built-in bracket achieves concealed installation, solving the problems of fit with the rain gutter and appearance caused by color differences.
