[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the present utility model;
[0018] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the present utility model;
[0019] Figure 3 This is an installation diagram of another embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0020] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0022] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.
[0023] An embodiment of this utility model provides a water pipe positioning fixture, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes: a fixture body 1, a first positioning structure 101 for fixing to a frame 2, and a second positioning structure 201 connected to the first positioning structure 101 for positioning the water pipe 3 to be installed. The first positioning structure 101 includes a first fixing part 102 fixed to one side of the frame 2 and a second fixing part 103 that can approach or move away from the first fixing part 102. The second positioning structure 201 includes a first positioning part 202 for positioning the position of the water pipe 3 and a second positioning part 203 for positioning the height of the water pipe 3.
[0024] The fixture body 1 can be precisely fixed by the first positioning structure 101, wherein the first fixing part 102 is fixed to the frame 2 to fix the fixture body 1. Because some equipment frames 2 have additional structures such as insulation cotton attached to their inner sides, the thickness of frames 2 installed in the same batch is inconsistent, making it impossible for the first positioning structure 101 to be directly snapped onto the frame 2. Therefore, a movable second fixing part 103 is added. After the first fixing part 102 is installed, it can move closer to the first fixing part 102 and adhere to one side of the frame 2, further improving the stability of the fixture body 1. The second fixing part 103 improves support and effectively prevents the second positioning structure 201 from sagging. The second fixing part 103 can either elastically press against the first fixing part 102 or slide against the first fixing part 102. Using the first positioning structure 101 as the positioning reference, the first positioning part 202 and the second positioning part 203 in the second positioning structure 201 can locate the position and height of the water pipe 3 respectively, ensuring the accuracy of the position and height of the water pipe 3 to be installed. The positioning function is intuitive and easy to understand, and can quickly complete the positioning of the water pipe 3 even in a complex and dark installation environment, thus improving efficiency.
[0025] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the first fixing part 102 includes a first fixing plate 104 fixed to one side of the frame 2, a first connecting plate 105 connected to the second positioning structure 201, and a second connecting plate 106 connecting the first fixing plate 104 and the first connecting plate 105.
[0026] The first fixing plate 104 provides a stable connection with the frame 2, ensuring that it will not shift or loosen due to external forces during installation. The effective connection between the first connecting plate 105 and the second connecting plate 106 and the second positioning structure 201 provides a solid supporting foundation and positioning reference for the second positioning structure 201. The second connecting plate 106 provides space for installation and is less likely to interfere with the frame 2.
[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the frame 2 has a plurality of first positioning reference holes 107 for positioning with the first fixing plate 104 and a plurality of first mounting holes 108 for fastening with the first fixing plate 104. The first fixing plate 104 has a plurality of second positioning reference holes 109 for being aligned with the positioning reference holes and a plurality of second mounting holes 110 for engaging and fastening with the first mounting holes 108.
[0028] When the fixture body 1 is fixed, the first positioning reference hole 107 on the first fixing plate 104 is aligned with the second positioning reference hole 109 on the frame 2. In practice, the diameter of the reference hole is much larger than the diameter of the mounting hole, which makes it easier to align. When the first positioning reference hole 107 and the second positioning reference hole 109 are aligned, the first mounting hole 108 and the second mounting hole 110 are aligned synchronously. Then, the first fixing plate 104 is fixed to the frame 2 by fasteners 210 such as screws, bolts, and protrusions.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second fixing part 103 includes a clamping plate 111 and a first adjustment structure 112 that allows the clamping plate 111 to move closer to or further away from the first fixing plate 104.
[0030] The clamping plate 111 can move closer to or further away from the first fixed plate 104 through the first adjusting structure 112 to clamp or adhere to the frame 2. The first adjusting structure 112 can be a spring structure, which clamps the clamping plate 111 and the first fixed plate 104 onto the frame 2 through elastic force. The first adjusting structure 112 can also be a sliding structure such as a slider, slide plate, or push block, which pushes the clamping plate 111 to one side of the frame 2 and then restricts the displacement, provides auxiliary support force, reduces the instability of unilateral fixation, and can also adapt to frames 2 of different sizes and shapes, enhancing the versatility and applicability of the fixture.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first adjustment structure 112 includes a sliding plate 113 disposed below the clamping plate 111, a sliding groove 114 that cooperates with the sliding plate 113 and a positioning groove 115 for limiting the displacement of the sliding plate 113 on the first fixing part 102 and / or the first positioning part 202, and positioning blocks 116 for engaging in the positioning groove 115 on both sides of the sliding plate 113.
[0032] The sliding plate 113 is located below the clamping plate 111 and can slide smoothly along the sliding groove 114, thereby driving the clamping plate 111 to move closer to or away from the first fixed plate 104. Multiple positioning grooves 115 can be provided according to different installation distances. When the sliding plate 113 slides to the required distance, the positioning block 116 can be inserted into the positioning groove 115 to limit the sliding plate 113. The structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.
[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first positioning part 202 includes a first positioning plate 204 connected to the first connecting plate 105. The side edge of the first positioning plate 204 is provided with one or more opening grooves 205 that match the shape of the water pipe 3.
[0034] The connection between the first positioning plate 204 and the first connecting plate 105 ensures the sturdiness of the entire positioning structure. The shape of the opening groove 205 matches the shape of the water pipe 3, which can ensure that the water pipe 3 is accurately positioned and fixed in the predetermined position during installation. The opening also facilitates the removal of the fixture later.
[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the second positioning part 203 includes a second fixing plate 206 connected to the first positioning plate 204 and a second positioning plate 207 disposed on the second fixing plate 206, with the top of the water pipe 3 abutting against the bottom of the second positioning plate 207.
[0036] The bottom of the second positioning plate 207 abuts against the top of the water pipe 3 to maintain the water pipe 3 in a precise position in the height direction.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second fixing plate 206 and the second positioning plate 207 are connected in an L-shape, and the second fixing plate 206 is disposed on the side edge of the first positioning plate 204.
[0038] Specifically, the second fixing plate 206 is the folded edge of the first positioning plate 204, and the second positioning plate 207 is the folded edge of the second fixing plate 206, and is folded at 90°. The folded edge design is easy to process, and the positioning effect is better and more efficient than welding it on separately later.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second positioning part 203 also includes a second adjustment structure 208 for adjusting the height of the second positioning plate 207.
[0040] The second adjustment structure 208 can flexibly adjust the height of the second positioning plate 207 through thread adjustment, sliding groove adjustment, etc., so as to adapt to the height positioning requirements of the water pipe 3 in different installation scenarios, greatly enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the fixture.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second fixed plate 206 has a vertically arranged adjustment groove 209, and the second adjustment structure 208 includes a fastener 210 adjustablely arranged on the adjustment groove 209. The second positioning plate 207 is connected to the fastener 210, and the second positioning plate (207) can be adjusted up and down by the fastener (210).
[0042] The second positioning part 203, by setting an adjustment groove 209 on the second fixed plate 206 and cooperating with an adjustable fastener 210 to move up and down along the adjustment groove 209 and fix it in the required position, thereby driving the second positioning plate 207 to move up and down, realizing flexible adjustment of the height of the second positioning plate 207.
[0043] The terms and words used in the foregoing description and claims are not limited to their literal meaning, but are merely used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing description of various embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and not intended to limit the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
