Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air cooler installation technology, and in particular to a retractable air cooler bracket that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] As the mainstream cooling equipment for large spaces, the installation height of evaporative air coolers directly affects their air delivery efficiency. Currently, welded metal brackets are commonly used, which have significant drawbacks:

[0003] The process is complex: it relies on professional welders for cutting, positioning, welding and post-processing, resulting in low installation efficiency and high labor costs.

[0004] Non-adjustable: The dimensions are fixed after welding and cannot be adapted to on-site pipe / beam / column obstacles or differences in wall spacing, requiring rework and reconstruction;

[0005] Poor flexibility: Although the existing bolt splicing brackets are adjustable, they suffer from low hole matching efficiency and insufficient locking reliability, resulting in a weaker load-bearing capacity than welded structures.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a support solution that combines rapid installation, continuous adjustability, and high load-bearing rigidity. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, the present invention aims to provide a retractable evaporative air cooler bracket that is easy to install, employs a fully bolted connection, and features adjustable width, strong applicability, and convenient assembly.

[0008] A simple-to-install retractable evaporative air cooler bracket includes:

[0009] At least two long beams are arranged in parallel, and the long beams are provided with fixing holes for fixing the air cooler;

[0010] A transverse connection group is connected to both ends of the long beam. The transverse connection group and the long beam are connected to form a frame structure. Each transverse connection group includes several end beams and several telescopic beams. The telescopic beams are bolted to the end beams through waist-shaped holes to realize the adjustment of the support width.

[0011] Multiple vertically arranged columns are provided, with at least one column located at the corner of the frame structure. A top plate and a reinforcing plate are welded to the column, and the top plate of the column is connected to the transverse connecting group by bolts.

[0012] At least one support plate group is provided on the same side as the transverse connection group. The two ends of the support plate group are respectively connected to the reinforcing plate of the adjacent column by bolts. Each telescopic plate group includes at least two support plates. The adjacent support plates are connected by waist-shaped holes and bolts to realize the adjustment of the width direction of the bracket.

[0013] Preferably, each transverse connection group includes two end beams and several telescopic beams, with the two end beams located at both ends in the width direction and the several telescopic beams located between the two end beams; the column is connected to the end beams.

[0014] Preferably, a first set of waist-shaped holes and a second set of waist-shaped holes are provided between the telescopic beam and the end beam. The first set of waist-shaped holes and the second set of waist-shaped holes connect the telescopic beam and the end beam from the top and the side, respectively. The first set of waist-shaped holes includes a first waist-shaped hole provided on the telescopic beam and a first connecting hole provided on the end beam corresponding to the first waist-shaped hole. The second set of waist-shaped holes includes a second waist-shaped hole provided on the telescopic beam and a second connecting hole provided on the end beam corresponding to the second waist-shaped hole. The width of the second waist-shaped hole is greater than the width of the first waist-shaped hole, and at least the second connecting hole on the end beam is a waist-shaped hole.

[0015] Preferably, the long beam is integrally folded and formed, including a middle plate and flanges located on the left and right sides of the middle plate, with the middle plate located above the flanges; the long beam is provided with connecting holes on the flanges at its front and rear ends respectively.

[0016] Preferably, the end beams and the middle plates of the long beams are provided with corresponding positioning holes.

[0017] Preferably, the connecting holes at both ends of the end beam are symmetrically arranged in width, and the lower end of the same bolt passes through the flange of the long beam, the end beam and the top plate of the column from top to bottom for fixation.

[0018] Preferably, a fixed base is welded to the bottom of the column, and the fixed base is provided with a connection hole.

[0019] Because this application adopts the above-mentioned scheme, all components are connected using pre-drilled bolt holes, making installation convenient and allowing for on-site assembly. Furthermore, bolted connections are easier to adjust than traditional welding methods, offering stronger on-site error correction capabilities. The reasonable arrangement of bolt connection positions according to the above scheme ensures sufficient strength even when using bolted connections. The telescopic beam and end beam are connected using oblong holes, allowing the support plate to slide laterally, thus enabling the frame structure to expand and contract in the width direction to accommodate different evaporative cooler sizes.

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below.

[0027] This embodiment provides a simple-to-install retractable air cooler bracket, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes at least two parallel long beams 3, each with mounting holes for securing the air cooler. The bottom of the air cooler is bolted to the long beams 3 at the mounting holes. In a preferred embodiment, three or more long beams 3 are preferably used to improve support reliability.

[0028] A transverse connecting group is connected to both ends of the long beam 3. The transverse connecting group and the long beam 3 are connected to form a frame structure. Each transverse connecting group includes several end beams 1 and several telescopic beams 2. The telescopic beams 2 are bolted to the end beams 1 through waist-shaped holes to realize the adjustment of the support width. The end beams 1 and the telescopic beams 2 are connected by waist-shaped holes and bolts. By adjusting the connection position in the waist-shaped holes, the width of the frame structure can be realized to adapt to different sizes of air coolers.

[0029] Multiple vertically arranged columns 5 are provided, with at least one column 5 located at the corner of the frame structure. A top plate and a reinforcing plate are welded to the column 5. The top plate of the column 5 is connected to the horizontal connecting group by bolts. The column 5 is fixed to the ground to raise the air cooler.

[0030] At least four sets of support plates are provided on the same side of the transverse connecting group. The two ends of each set of support plates are bolted to the reinforcing plates of the adjacent columns 5. Each telescopic plate group includes at least two support plates 4, and adjacent support plates 4 are connected by oblong holes and bolts to achieve width adjustment of the support structure. The four sets of support plates between the columns 5 enhance the overall strength of the support structure. Furthermore, to accommodate the adjustable width structure of the transverse connecting group, the four sets of support plates are also connected by oblong holes and bolts to achieve overall width adjustment.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, in order to enhance the strength of the components themselves, the end beam 1, the telescopic beam 2 and the long beam 3 are all integrally bent from sheet metal.

[0032] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each transverse connection group in this embodiment includes two end beams 1 and several telescopic beams 2. The two end beams 1 are located at both ends in the width direction, and the several telescopic beams 2 are located between the two end beams 1. The column 5 is connected to the end beams 1. With this configuration, the end beams 1 and the column 5 are connected uniformly, eliminating the need for additional structures on the telescopic beams 2 to connect the column 5, which is convenient for manufacturing.

[0033] A first set of oblong holes and a second set of oblong holes are provided between the telescopic beam 2 and the end beam 1. The first set of oblong holes and the second set of oblong holes connect the telescopic beam 2 and the end beam 1 from the top and side, respectively. The first set of oblong holes includes a first oblong hole on the telescopic beam 2 and a first connecting hole on the end beam 1 corresponding to the first oblong hole. The second set of oblong holes includes a second oblong hole on the telescopic beam 2 and a second connecting hole on the end beam 1 corresponding to the second oblong hole. The width of the second oblong hole is greater than the width of the first oblong hole, and at least the second connecting hole on the end beam 1 is an oblong hole. Fixing the beam in different directions using the first set of oblong holes and the second set of oblong holes increases the reliability of the connection between the two. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple narrow oblong holes are used as the first oblong holes, and the second oblong holes are wider. This arrangement ensures a wide adjustment range between the telescopic beam 2 and the end beam 1, while also limiting the offset by the width of a single first oblong hole, thus preventing large offsets caused by loosening of a single connector during later use. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting hole on the end beam 1 that connects to the first waist-shaped hole is a regular round hole, and the second connecting hole on the end beam 1 is a waist-shaped hole. This configuration allows for a larger width adjustment range through the cooperation of the second connecting hole and the second waist-shaped hole, and enables continuous adjustment of the width; while limiting the offset through the cooperation of the first connecting hole and the first waist-shaped hole.

[0034] The end beam 1 has symmetrically arranged connecting holes at both ends in the width direction. The end beams 1 on both sides in the width direction can be connected to other components by selecting the corresponding connecting holes at the ends. It is not necessary to open molds separately for end beams 1 with different settings, and there is no need to distinguish between the left and right end beams 1 during assembly, making manufacturing and assembly simpler.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the long beam 3 is integrally folded and formed, including a middle plate and flanges located on the left and right sides of the middle plate, with the middle plate positioned above the flanges. The long beam 3 has connecting holes on both sides of its front and rear flanges. The long beam 3 is connected to the end beam 1 through the connecting holes at the flanges. In this embodiment, the lower end of the same bolt passes through the flanges of the long beam 3, the end beam 1, and the top plate of the column 5 sequentially from top to bottom for fixation, reducing the number of connecting parts and simplifying the installation process. Preferably, the end beam 1 and the middle plate of the long beam 3 have corresponding positioning holes. During assembly, the corresponding positioning holes are first connected to facilitate alignment of the remaining connecting holes, making assembly easier.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, a fixed base is welded to the bottom of column 5, and the fixed base has connection holes. The fixed base of column 5 is fixed to the ground with expansion bolts, and the overall bracket connection is reliable.

[0037] Combination Figure 1-6 The assembly relationship in this embodiment is as follows:

[0038] End beam 1 and telescopic end beam 2 are fitted together: the waist-shaped hole 12 and the waist-shaped hole 14 are fixed with bolts according to the required width of the bracket; the waist-shaped hole 13 is aligned with the hole 9 and the hole 11 and then fixed with bolts.

[0039] End beam 1, long beam 3 (both ends of the bracket), and top plate 6 are fitted together: after hole 15 is aligned with hole 10, it is fixed with self-tapping screws; after hole 9, hole 17, and hole 19 are aligned, they are fixed with bolts; after hole 11 is aligned with hole 20, they are fixed with bolts.

[0040] The support plate 4 and the reinforcing plate 7 are fitted together: after the hole 7 is aligned with the oblong hole 18, it is fixed with bolts; the oblong hole 18 is fixed with the oblong hole 18 of another support plate 4 by bolts.

[0041] The position of the long beam 3 in the middle of the bracket is adjusted according to the size of the air cooler. After the position is determined, the hole 17 is aligned with the waist-shaped hole 13 of the telescopic end beam or the hole 9 or hole 10 on the end beam and then fixed with bolts.

[0042] After assembling the bracket using this fixing method, move the bracket to the location where the air cooler will be installed. Use expansion screws to fix the bracket to the ground at hole 22 on the fixing base 8; align the pre-drilled fixing holes on the air cooler with hole 16 and then fix it with bolts. The bracket is now fixed.

[0043] As described above, the components of the support system are connected using pre-drilled bolt holes, facilitating installation. Each component possesses significant strength, and there are sufficient connection points between them, ensuring reliable connections and thus guaranteeing the overall reliability of the support system.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
