Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of water pipe storage brackets, and in particular relates to a water pipe storage bracket. Background Technology
[0002] A pipe support is an engineering device used for winding and unwinding flexible water pipes. It typically consists of a base, two side supports, and rotatable winding rollers. During operation, the rollers are rotated manually or by a drive mechanism to wind, unwind, or release the water pipe.
[0003] Existing technical problems: Although existing pipe supports can achieve basic pipe deployment and retraction functions, they have the following drawbacks in actual use: the water outlet end of the pipe often needs to be connected to a water gun head to switch spray modes, but the water gun head is too large to be stored with the pipe. If left connected, the water gun head hanging at the end of the pipe is prone to collision and damage to the ground; if disassembled and stored separately, the support body lacks a dedicated fixing position, resulting in a cumbersome operation process and the risk of water gun head loss or damage. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a water pipe storage bracket is provided that facilitates the storage of water gun heads.
[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a water pipe storage bracket, comprising:
[0006] A support assembly comprising two vertical support frames spaced apart in a horizontal direction, and a handle horizontally connected to the top of the two support frames;
[0007] A roller, rotatably mounted horizontally between two support frames, is used to wind flexible water pipes;
[0008] A hand crank drive mechanism includes a crank handle located on the outside of one of the support frames, and a transmission assembly connecting the crank handle to the end of the roller, which drives the roller to rotate about its axial direction via the crank handle.
[0009] A sleeve assembly is fixed to the top of the handle or support frame. The sleeve assembly includes an insertion cavity for inserting a water gun head. The inner diameter of the insertion cavity is smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the water gun head. When the water gun head is inserted into the insertion cavity, its head abuts against the opening edge of the insertion cavity to limit the vertical displacement of the water gun head.
[0010] When the water gun head is not in use, it can be separated from the water pipe. Then, the water gun head can be inserted into the insertion cavity of the sleeve assembly, so that the water gun head has a dedicated fixed position on the storage bracket, preventing the water gun head from being damaged or lost.
[0011] The transmission assembly connecting the crank handle and the end of the roller is a transmission assembly used in any existing water pipe storage bracket.
[0012] Preferably, the sleeve assembly includes a sleeve body and a rotating base. The sleeve body has the insertion cavity inside, and the rotating base is rotatably connected to the top of the handle or support frame, so that the sleeve body can rotate between a first position and a second position about a horizontal axis.
[0013] Wherein, the first position is the storage state of the sleeve assembly, the sleeve body is located above the handle or support frame, and the insertion cavity extends horizontally in the axial direction;
[0014] The second position is the usage state of the sleeve assembly, in which the sleeve body is rotated to the side of the handle or support frame, and the insertion cavity extends vertically in the axial direction.
[0015] With the above configuration, when the sleeve assembly is to be used, the sleeve body can be rotated to the side of the handle or support frame, at which point the insertion cavity extends vertically axially, allowing the water gun head to be inserted for use. When not in use, the sleeve body can be rotated above the handle or support frame to avoid obstructing the flexible water hose or crank handle, thus achieving a storage function.
[0016] Preferably, the top of the handle or support frame is provided with a through slot. When the rotating base rotates the sleeve body to the first position, the rotating base can be inserted into the slot to hide the rotating base inside the handle or support frame.
[0017] The rotating base can be hidden by using slots, thereby further enhancing its storage function.
[0018] Preferably, the rotating base is plate-shaped and has a shape that fits the top of the handle or support frame. When the sleeve body is in the second position, the rotating base fits against the wall of the top of the handle or support frame.
[0019] When the sleeve body is in the second position, the rotating base is in contact with the wall at the top of the handle or support frame, and the rotating base can be stably supported on the wall at the top of the handle or support frame, thereby ensuring the stability of the sleeve body.
[0020] Preferably, the rotating base is provided with a pivot at the other end of the sleeve body. The size of the pivot is larger than the size of the slot. When the rotating base extends completely outside the slot, the rotating base can rotate around the pivot, thereby enabling the sleeve body to rotate between a first position and a second position around a horizontal axis.
[0021] The pivot allows the rotating base to rotate, and the size of the pivot is larger than the size of the slot, so that the rotating base will not disengage from the slot.
[0022] Preferably, the sleeve assembly is disposed on the support base, and when the sleeve body is in the second position, the sleeve body is located on the axial outer side of the support base.
[0023] The sleeve assembly is mounted on the support base, and when the sleeve body is in the second position, the sleeve body is located on the axial outer side of the support base. The reserved space on the axial outer side is larger, so it is easier to place the water gun head.
[0024] Preferably, when the sleeve body is in the second position, the sleeve body is located above the crank handle, and the crank handle will not collide with the sleeve body when rotating.
[0025] The crank handle will not collide with the sleeve body when rotating, which has a foolproof effect. Even if the sleeve assembly is not stored, the user can directly crank the handle, which is safer.
[0026] Preferably, the connection ends of the rotating base and the pivot are provided with bend sections, and there is an angle between the bend sections and the rotating base to form a clearance space, which is used to reduce interference between the rotating base and the handle or support frame when the rotating base rotates.
[0027] The angled section is designed to facilitate the rotation of the base.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: there is a dedicated fixing position for the water gun head on the storage bracket, which facilitates the placement of the water gun head and avoids damage or loss of the water gun head.

[0037] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a water pipe storage bracket, including a bracket assembly, a roller 7, a crank drive mechanism, and a sleeve assembly 4. The bracket assembly includes two vertical support frames 1 spaced apart in a horizontal direction, and a handle 2 horizontally connected to the top of the two support frames 1. The roller 7 is located between the two support frames 1 and is rotatably connected to the two support frames 1. The crank drive mechanism includes a crank 3 located on the outside of one of the support frames, and a transmission assembly connecting the crank 3 and the end of the roller 7, which drives the roller 7 to rotate around its axial direction via the crank 3; wherein, the transmission assembly is any existing assembly that can realize the crank 3 driving the roller 7 to rotate.
[0039] The sleeve assembly 4, located on top of one of the support frames 1, includes a sleeve body 41 and a rotating base 42. The sleeve body 41 has a through-hole insertion cavity 411 inside, into which the water gun head 100 can be inserted. One end of the rotating base 42 has a pivot 5, and the other end is connected to the sleeve body 41. A through slot 6 is provided at the top of the support frame 1. The rotating base 42 is plate-shaped and can be inserted into or removed from the slot 6, causing it to rotate. This allows the sleeve body 41 to rotate around a horizontal axis between a first position and a second position. The first position is the retracted state of the sleeve assembly 4, where the sleeve body 41 is located above the support frame 1, and the insertion cavity 411 extends horizontally. The second position is the active state of the sleeve assembly 4, where the sleeve body 41 rotates or is located outside the support frame 1, and the insertion cavity 411 extends vertically. When the sleeve body 41 is in the second position, the water gun head 100 can be inserted into the insertion cavity. Since the outer diameter of the head of the water gun head 100 is the maximum outer diameter of the water gun head 100, the head of the water gun head 100 abuts against the opening edge of the insertion cavity 411 to limit the vertical displacement of the water gun head 100.
[0040] The thickness of the rotating base 42 is less than the width of the slot 6, so after the rotating base 42 is inserted into the slot 6, it will be hidden inside the support frame 1. The rotating base 42 has a shape adapted to the top of the support frame 1. When the sleeve body 41 is in the second position, the rotating base 42 is in contact with the top wall of the support frame 1. The size of the pivot 5 is larger than the size of the slot 6. When the rotating base 42 is fully extended outside the slot 6, it can rotate around the pivot 5, thereby allowing the sleeve body 41 to rotate around the horizontal axis between the first and second positions.
[0041] When the sleeve body 41 is in the second position, the sleeve body 41 is located above the crank handle 3, and the crank handle 3 will not collide with the sleeve body 41 when it rotates.
[0042] Both the rotating base 42 and the pivot 5 are provided with bend sections 43. The bend section 43 between the pivot 5 and the rotating base 42 forms an angle of 90° with the rotating base 42. The bend section 43 can form a clearance space to reduce interference between the rotating base 42 and the support frame 1 when it rotates.
[0043] When the water gun head 100 is not needed, the rotating base 42 can be pulled out and rotated to put the sleeve body 41 into use. At this time, the water gun head 100 can be inserted into the sleeve body 41. When the water gun head 100 needs to be used, it can be removed from the sleeve body 41 and connected to the water pipe. Then, the rotating base 42 can be rotated and inserted into the slot 6, so that the sleeve body 41 is in the storage state.
[0044] In some other embodiments, the sleeve assembly 4 described above may also be provided on the handle 2.
