As the market demand for efficient, energy-saving, and compact designs of air source water heaters continues to increase, copper pipe welding processes face higher requirements, and support frames to prevent welding deformation have become core equipment to ensure production quality.

[0003] However, in the use of existing copper pipe support brackets for air source water heaters, the copper pipes are prone to shifting during the welding process, affecting the welding position of the copper pipes and causing deformation, thus reducing the efficiency of the copper pipe welding. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a copper pipe support frame for air source water heaters that prevents welding deformation. By setting a clamping part, it solves the problem that in the use of existing copper pipe support frames for air source water heaters, the copper pipes of the air source water heater are prone to displacement during the welding process, affecting the welding position of the copper pipes, causing deformation of the copper pipes, and affecting the welding efficiency of the copper pipes.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a copper pipe support frame for an air source water heater to prevent welding deformation. It includes a base and a rectangular cover fixedly connected to the top of the base. The top of the rectangular cover has a sliding groove, and the central axis of the base has a circular hole. The frame also includes a clamping part installed on the top of the base, and a buffer part located on the top of the base. The clamping part is located inside the rectangular cover. When the clamping part is activated, it fixes the copper pipe through the sliding groove. During this process, the buffer part is compressed, generating elasticity to cushion the copper pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping part includes a power component mounted on the top of the base; and a fixing component disposed on the top of the rectangular cover; wherein the power component is located inside the rectangular cover, the fixing component is hinged to the power component, and the fixing component is slidably connected to the slide groove. When the power component is activated, it pushes the fixing component to slide within the slide groove, thereby fixing the copper tube.

[0008] Furthermore, the power assembly includes a threaded rod rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the rectangular cover, a motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular hole, a rectangular plate threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod, hinged arms hinged to both ends of the rectangular plate, and a guide post fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the rectangular cover, the guide post penetrating the rectangular plate and slidably connected to the rectangular plate; wherein, the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the threaded rod through a coupling, the two hinged arms are located on the front and rear sides of the rectangular cover respectively, the middle of the two hinged arms is hinged to the rectangular cover, and the other ends of the two hinged arms are respectively connected to a fixing component, pushing the moving plate of the fixing component to move closer or further away from each other, thereby fixing and releasing the copper tube.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing assembly includes a groove formed on the top of the rectangular cover. Two movable plates are slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove. A hinge block is fixedly connected to the side of each of the two movable plates that is far apart from each other. A hinge plate is hinged to each of the two hinge blocks. The two movable plates are located on the front and rear sides of the groove, respectively. The two hinge plates are hinged to two hinge arms, respectively. By bringing them close together, the copper tube is clamped and fixed, ensuring that the copper tube is stable in position during welding and preventing displacement.

[0010] Furthermore, the buffer portion includes a support assembly disposed on the top of the rectangular cover; and a buffer assembly disposed on the top of the circular hole; wherein the support assembly is fixedly connected to the fixing assembly, the buffer assembly is hinged to the support assembly, and both the support assembly and the buffer assembly are located between the fixing assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the support assembly includes two rectangular blocks fixedly connected to two movable plates respectively, two sliding rods fixedly connected between several rectangular blocks, two sliders slidably connected to the outer walls of the two sliding rods, hinge rods hinged to several sliders, and elastic elements provided on the two sliding rods; wherein, several rectangular blocks are located between the two movable plates, and the elastic elements include two springs respectively sleeved on the outer walls of the two sliding rods; wherein, the sides of several springs that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to several rectangular blocks respectively, and the sides of several springs that are close to each other are fixedly connected to several sliders respectively, so as to buffer and stabilize the copper tube through the elastic force, and drive the fixed plate to reset after welding is completed.

[0012] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes two fixed plates disposed between two movable plates. A high-temperature resistant pad is fixedly connected to the side of each fixed plate that is close to the other, and two hinge blocks are fixedly connected to the side of each fixed plate that is far from the other. Both high-temperature resistant pads are made of high-temperature resistant rubber. Several hinge blocks are respectively hinged to several hinge rods to prevent the fixed plates from causing damage such as pinch marks or indentations to the surface of the copper tube, to absorb the thermal stress generated by the copper tube due to heat, and to absorb vibrations during the welding process, thereby improving the stability of the support system and ensuring welding quality.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. By setting up a clamping part, when fixing the copper pipe of the water heater, the motor is started. At this time, the motor drives the threaded rod to rotate clockwise. The threaded rod drives the two hinged arms to move through the rectangular plate. At this time, the two hinged arms rotate around the hinge point of the base and move closer to each other. At this time, the two hinged arms push the two hinge blocks one to move through the corresponding hinge plates. At this time, the two hinge blocks one push the corresponding moving plates to move in the slide groove and move closer to each other, thereby fixing the copper pipe of the water heater. Through the reverse operation process, the fixing of the copper pipe of the water heater is released, avoiding the copper pipe offset or tilting caused by uneven force, and fixing the copper pipe stably on the support frame, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent welding work and preventing the welding quality from being affected by the shaking of the copper pipe.

[0015] 2. By setting up a buffer section, during the fixing process of the water heater copper pipe, two moving plates drive several hinge rods to move through two sliders on two sliding rods. These hinge rods, in turn, drive two high-temperature resistant pads on two fixed plates to fix the water heater copper pipe through several hinge blocks. This process generates compressive force, causing the two fixed plates to move away from each other. The two fixed plates then compress the hinge rods through corresponding hinge blocks, causing the hinge rods to drive corresponding sliders to slide on the two sliding rods and move away from each other. Simultaneously, the sliders compress several springs, causing deformation and elasticity. Under the action of these spring forces, the water heater copper pipe is stabilized, thus facilitating welding. After welding, the fixing of the welded water heater copper pipe is released. Under the action of the spring forces, the two fixed plates and two high-temperature resistant pads return to their original positions, preventing damage such as clamping marks and indentations on the copper pipe surface. This protects the integrity and sealing of the copper pipe material, improves product yield, enhances the stability of the overall support system, and ensures welding quality.
