Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an air source heat pump water heater tank, including a base support 1, a water tank body 2 installed at the top of the base support 1, a plurality of fixed rods 3 rotatably connected to the top of the base support 1, a fixed plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed rods 3, a rack 5 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed rods 3, a first sliding frame 6 slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rods 3, a first rotating bolt 7 threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first sliding frame 6, a first support rod 8 rotatably connected to the bottom of the first sliding frame 6, a stabilizing block 9 rotatably connected to the bottom of the first support rod 8, a second sliding frame 10 slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rods 3, a second rotating bolt 11 threadedly connected to the inner wall of the second sliding frame 10, a second support rod 12 rotatably connected to the bottom of the second sliding frame 10, and a moving component provided on the inner wall of the base support 1.
[0025] Specifically, by fixing the water tank body 2 to the top of the base bracket 1, when the four fixing rods 3 are rotated, the fixing plate 4 contacts the outer wall of the water tank body 2, and then the first sliding frame 6 and the second sliding frame 10 are moved downwards respectively, so that the first support rod 8 is opened by the support of the second support rod 12, so that the stabilizing block 9 contacts the ground. Then the first rotating bolt 7 and the second rotating bolt 11 are rotated respectively, so that the first rotating bolt 7 contacts the tooth groove of the rack 5, and the second rotating bolt 11 contacts the fixing rod 3, so that the first support rod 8 and the second support rod 12 are fixed, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the water tank.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5The movable component includes a threaded rod 13, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the base bracket 1. A rotating handle 14 is fixedly connected to the left side of the threaded rod 13. Two movable frames 15 are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 13. Connecting rods 16 are rotatably connected to both the front and rear ends of the movable frames 15. Connecting frame 17 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting rods 16. Universal wheels 18 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the connecting frame 17.
[0027] Specifically, by rotating the handle 14, the threaded rod 13 is rotated, causing the two movable frames 15 to move inward together through the threaded connection with the threaded rod 13. This moves the connecting rod 16, causing the connecting frame 17 to move the caster 18 downward through the connecting rod 16, so that the caster 18 contacts the ground and the base bracket 1 is lifted off the ground, thus facilitating the movement of the water tank.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first rotating bolt 7 is threaded to the inner wall of the first sliding frame 6 and contacts the rack 5, and the second rotating bolt 11 is threaded to the inner wall of the second sliding frame 10 and contacts the fixed rod 3.
[0029] Specifically, by rotating the first rotating bolt 7, its tip is locked in the tooth groove of the rack 5, thus fixing the position of the first sliding frame 6. Then, by rotating the second rotating bolt 11, it is brought into contact with the outer wall of the fixed rod 3, thus fixing the second sliding frame 10. This makes the fixed rod 3, the first support rod 8, and the second support rod 12 form a triangular structure, achieving the effect of fixing the fixed rod 3.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second support rod 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first support rod 8, the second support rod 12 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod 3, the first support rod 8 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod 3, the first support rod 8 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the second sliding frame 10, the first support rod 8 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the base bracket 1, and the stabilizing block 9 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the base bracket 1.
[0031] Specifically, by moving the first sliding frame 6 and the second sliding frame 10, the first support rod 8 and the second support rod 12 can be driven. When the first sliding frame 6 and the second sliding frame 10 move upward, the first support rod 8 and the second support rod 12 move upward. During the movement, the first support rod 8 contacts the outer wall of the base bracket 1. Finally, the first support rod 8 and the second support rod 12 contact the outer wall of the fixed rod 3, and the stabilizing block 9 contacts the base bracket 1, so that the fixed rod 3, the first support rod 8, and the second support rod 12 are stored together, achieving the effect of convenient storage of the support frame.
[0032] Reference Figure 1The fixed plate 4 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the water tank body 2, and the second sliding frame 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the water tank body 2.
[0033] Specifically, the first support rod 8 and the second support rod 12 support the fixing rod 3, so that the fixing plate 4 and the second sliding frame 10 can jointly stabilize the outer wall of the water tank body 2 and prevent the water tank body 2 from collapsing due to external factors.
[0034] Reference Figure 5 The handle 14 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the base bracket 1, and the movable frame 15 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the base bracket 1.
[0035] Specifically, by rotating the handle 14, the threaded rod 13 drives the two movable frames 15, allowing the movable frames 15 to slide in the groove on the outer wall of the bottom of the base bracket 1, thus preventing the movable frames 15 from shaking during movement and making it difficult to rotate the handle 14.
[0036] Working principle: Install the water tank body 2 on the base bracket 1, so that the water tank body 2 is fixed at the top of the base bracket 1. Then rotate the handle 14, so that the threaded rod 13 drives the two moving frames 15 to move inward through the outer wall thread, so that the connecting rod 16 drives the connecting frame 17 to move downward, so that the caster wheel 18 contacts the ground, the base bracket 1 is lifted off the ground, and then move the water tank body 2. When the water tank body 2 is moved to the designated location, rotate the handle 14 again, so that the moving frame 15 drives the connecting frame 17 through the connecting rod 16, so that the base bracket 1 contacts the ground, the caster wheel 18 is lifted off the ground, so as to achieve the effect of conveniently moving the water tank.
[0037] After the water tank is placed and installed, rotate the four fixing rods 3 so that the four fixing plates 4 contact the outer wall of the water tank body 2. Then move the first sliding frame 6 and the second sliding frame 10 downward so that the second support rod 12 pushes through the first sliding frame 6 and the second support rod 12 to open and make the stabilizing block 9 contact the ground. Rotate the first rotating bolt 7 so that its outer wall contacts the tooth groove of the rack 5 to fix the first sliding frame 6. Rotate the second rotating bolt 11 so that it contacts the outer wall of the fixing rod 3 to fix the second sliding frame 10. The first support rod 8 supports the fixing rod 3 through the first rotating bolt 7, the second sliding frame 10, and the second support rod 12 to achieve the effect of fixing the water tank.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
