[0021] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0023] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the bracket structure includes: a first mounting part 1 and a second mounting part 2 arranged in a staggered manner, and a connecting part 3 for connecting the first mounting part 1 and the second mounting part 2. The first mounting part 1 is used to fix to the unit panel, and the second mounting part 2 is used to support the sensor 9 so that the sensor 9 is suspended relative to the unit panel.

[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first mounting part 1 and the second mounting part 2 are staggered. The first mounting part 1 is used to fix the unit panel, and the second mounting part 2 is used to support and fix the sensor 9. The staggered arrangement of the two mounting parts allows the sensor 9 to be suspended relative to the unit panel, thereby allowing the temperature sensing head of the sensor 9 to be fully exposed to the air, thus avoiding the reduction of its detection accuracy due to the limitation of the mounting components.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, the first mounting part 1 and the second mounting part 2 are connected by a connecting part 3 to form a whole. Thus, the entire bracket can be fixed to the unit panel using only the mounting and fixing structure of the first mounting part 1 and the unit panel. This allows the second mounting part 2 to form a cantilever-like structure, facilitating the suspended installation of the sensor 9. In this embodiment, both the mounting part and the connecting part 3 are tubular structures, arranged in two groups. Adjacent second mounting parts 2 are connected by tubular reinforcing ribs to form a U-shaped structure, thereby increasing the contact area with the sensor 9 and improving its stability. In other embodiments, the mounting part and the connecting part 3 can also be arranged in multiple groups at intervals, with adjacent second mounting parts 2 connected by reinforcing ribs; or, the second mounting part 2 can be a plate-like structure, which also increases its contact area with the sensor 9 and improves its stability.

[0026] In this embodiment, a cantilever structure is formed by sequentially connecting the first mounting part 1, the connecting part 3, and the second mounting part 2. The first mounting part 1 and the second mounting part 2 are arranged in an alternating manner. This allows the first mounting part 1 to be fixed to the unit panel, while the sensor 9 installed at the second mounting part 2 is suspended relative to the unit panel. On the one hand, this replaces the original method of mounting with a plastic box, avoiding the detection interference caused by the plastic box. On the other hand, it also allows the temperature sensing head of the sensor 9 to be completely exposed to the air, making the detected ambient temperature closer to the true value.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the first mounting part 1 has a mounting hole 501, and the mounting hole 501 has a threaded connection structure. Specifically, in order to install and fix the first mounting part 1 to the unit panel, this embodiment provides a mounting hole 501 at the first mounting part 1 (since the bracket is relatively light, only one mounting hole 501 needs to be provided at each first mounting part 1). Preferably, the end of the first mounting part 1 opposite to the connecting part 3 has a mounting handle 5, and the mounting hole 501 is formed at the mounting handle 5 for screws to pass through and lock the first mounting part 1 to the unit panel. In addition, the mounting handle 5 is flat and is formed by a flattening process. Its cross-section can be square or circular to increase the contact area with the unit panel, and the smooth surface also facilitates installation.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket structure further includes a clamping part 6, one end of which is fixed to the second mounting part 2, and the other end of which is spaced apart from the second mounting part 2 to form a clamping opening for interference fitting of the sensor 9. Specifically, in order to fix the sensor 9 to the second mounting part 2 and prevent it from falling off, this embodiment provides a clamping part 6 at the second mounting part 2. One end of the clamping part 6 is fixed to the second mounting part 2, and the other end is bent and spaced apart from the second mounting part 2. In this way, the clamping part 6 can form an open clamping opening with the second mounting part 2 to accommodate the sensor 9. In addition, in order to constrain the sensor 9 and prevent it from loosening, the width of the clamping opening can be adapted to the size of the sensor 9 so that the sensor 9 can be fixed in the clamping opening by interference fitting. Alternatively, the clamping part 6 can be made of an elastic material that can deform under external force, so as to place the sensor 9 into the clamping port and retain the sensor 9 within the clamping port by its elasticity after the external force is removed. Of course, in order to protect the sensor 9, a protective sleeve can be fitted on its outer surface, that is, the clamping part 6 and the sensor 9 are separated by the protective sleeve.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping part 6 is provided with a pull handle 7. One end of the pull handle 7 is set at an angle to the clamping part 6, and the other end extends away from the clamping opening. Specifically, in order to facilitate the insertion of the sensor 9 into the clamping opening, this embodiment provides a pull handle 7 at the end of the clamping part 6. The pull handle 7 is inclined, so that an angle is formed between the clamping part 6 and the pull handle 7. The pull handle 7 expands outward relative to the clamping opening, which can provide a point of force for the clamping part 6, so that the sensor 9 can be smoothly inserted into the clamping opening after pulling the pull handle 7. Figure 2As shown, a rounded corner is formed between the clamping part 6 and the pull handle 7, and the transition connection is made by rounding the corners to avoid forming burrs that could damage the sensor 9 and / or the aforementioned protective sleeve.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the misalignment distance between the first mounting part 1 and the second mounting part 2 is defined as H, where H > 30 mm. This ensures the misaligned arrangement of the first mounting part 1 and the second mounting part 2, and also allows a height difference to be formed between the second mounting part 2 and the unit panel, thereby enabling the sensor 9 to be suspended in the air.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, an arc-shaped transition portion 4 is formed at the connection between the first mounting portion 1 and / or the second mounting portion 2 and the connecting portion 3; the arc-shaped transition portion 4 has rounded corners to ensure a smooth transition at the connection points of the components. In one embodiment, as... Figure 2 As shown, the included angle between the first mounting part 1 and the connecting part 3 is defined as α, where 90°≤α<180°. Preferably, α=135°, which not only allows the first mounting part 1 to be mounted on the unit panel, but also allows the second mounting part 2 to extend to a preset position, so as to accurately position the sensor 9.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment also provides an air source heat pump water heater, including the aforementioned support structure. The specific structure of this support structure is the same as described in the above embodiment. Since this air source heat pump water heater adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here. On the other hand, the air source heat pump water heater also includes: a unit panel 8 and a finned core. The first mounting part 1 is disposed on the unit panel 8 and is located away from the finned core to avoid the sensor 9 from icing due to its proximity to the finned core, which could cause errors in its detection data.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
