Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar water heater technology, and in particular to an adjustable tilt angle solar water heater mounting frame. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, solar water heaters, as a common clean energy utilization device, are widely used in various types of buildings. However, traditional solar water heater mounting frames cannot adapt to installation environments such as roofs with different slope angles, making the installation process extremely inconvenient when facing sloping roofs. This requires the construction of additional complex support structures, which not only increases installation costs but also reduces installation efficiency.

[0003] At the same time, the existing installation frame is not convenient for flexibly adjusting the tilt angle of the solar water heater according to the solar altitude angle in different regions. This results in the need for a complex support structure to adjust it in order to ensure that the solar water heater maintains the best light-receiving angle, which is not conducive to ensuring the overall working performance of the solar water heater.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides an adjustable tilt angle solar water heater mounting frame to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides an adjustable tilt solar water heater mounting frame, including a mounting frame body 1. The mounting frame 1 is made of high-strength metal material, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, to ensure that the mounting frame will not rust or deform during long-term use, providing stable support for the solar water heater. A semi-circular mounting groove 103 is carefully opened at the top of the mounting frame 1. The surface of the mounting groove 103 is finely polished, making it smooth and flat. This mounting groove 103 provides a precise positioning base for the installation of subsequent components.

[0032] An adjustable frame 2 for fixing the solar water heater tank is installed within the mounting slot 103 via a rotating mounting method. The adjustable frame 2 is made of a lightweight yet sturdy alloy material to reduce overall weight while ensuring sufficient strength. Specifically, inverted L-shaped limiting members 202 are firmly fixed to the lower edges of both ends of the adjustable frame 2. These limiting members 202 are made of the same alloy material as the adjustable frame 2 and are welded to it to ensure a secure connection. The limiting members 202 fit tightly against the lower surface of the adjustable frame 2, forming a groove that adapts to the edge of the mounting slot 103, ensuring stable rotation of the adjustable frame 2 within the slot. An installation opening 201 is also provided on one side of the adjustable frame 2, with rounded edges to prevent scratching operators during vacuum tube installation. This installation opening 201 faces the location of the movable frame 3 to be installed later, forming an installation port for the solar water heater's vacuum tubes, facilitating the installation of the solar water heater's vacuum tubes.

[0033] The lower edge of the adjusting frame 2 is fitted with the aforementioned movable frame 3 for fixing the vacuum tubes of the solar water heater. This movable frame 3 is located between two positioning rods 101 fixed at the center of both sides of the mounting frame 1. The positioning rods 101 are made of the same metal material as the mounting frame 1 and are fixed to the mounting frame 1 by welding. Fastening bolts 4 are provided on the positioning rods 101 to fix the position of the movable frame 3. Specifically, several positioning holes 102 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the positioning rods 101, the diameter of which is determined according to the specifications of the fastening bolts 4. Correspondingly, several fastening holes 301 are provided on the side of the movable frame 3, and the inner wall of the fastening holes 301 is threaded for threaded connection with the fastening bolts 4. During the actual installation and adjustment process, the tilt angle of the solar water heater is adjusted according to actual needs, and the movable frame 3 is moved to a suitable position so that the fastening bolt 4 can pass through a positioning hole 102 on the positioning rod 101 and be threaded into the fastening hole 301 at the corresponding position on the side of the movable frame 3, thereby forming a firm fixation of the position of the movable frame 3, ensuring that the movable frame 3 will not be displaced during subsequent use, and ensuring the stability of the solar water heater.

[0034] In addition, to enable the mounting frame 1 to adapt to different inclined installation environments, vertical support columns 6 are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the mounting frame 1, and rotatable fixing plates 5 are installed at the lower ends of the support columns 6. In specific implementation, a fixing groove 601 is opened at the lower end of the support column 6, and a wear-resistant bushing is provided inside the fixing groove 601 to reduce wear when the movable block 501 rotates. The movable block 501 is fixed in the middle of the fixing plate 5. The movable block 501 is made of high-strength metal material and is fixed to the fixing plate 5 by welding. The movable block 501 is rotatably installed in the fixing groove 601, so that the fixing plate 5 can rotate flexibly at the lower end of the support column 6.

[0035] The fixing plate 5 has through holes for fixing with bolts. When the mounting frame is installed on a slope such as a roof, the fixing plate 5 can be rotated according to the angle of the slope to make the fixing plate 5 fit tightly with the slope. Then, the fixing plate 5 is fixed on the slope by passing the bolt through the through hole, thereby realizing the flexible installation of the mounting frame on the slope and greatly improving the versatility of the device.

[0036] The working principle provided by this utility model is as follows: When the solar water heater needs to be installed on a sloping roof, the installation frame is first placed in a suitable position, and the fixing plate 5 at the lower end of the support column 6 is rotated according to the angle of the roof slope to make the fixing plate 5 fit tightly with the roof slope. Then, bolts are used to firmly fix the installation frame to the roof through the through holes on the fixing plate 5.

[0037] Next, place the solar water heater's tank on the adjusting frame 2 and secure it. Then, install the vacuum tubes onto the movable frame 3 through the mounting port 201 on the adjusting frame 2. Adjust the tilt angle of the solar water heater by rotating the adjusting frame 2 and the movable frame 3, depending on the local solar altitude angle and seasonal changes. Once the appropriate angle is reached, use a fastening bolt 4 to thread it through the positioning hole 102 on the positioning rod 101 and into the fastening hole 301 on the side of the movable frame 3 to fix the position of the movable frame 3. This ensures that the solar water heater always faces the sun at the optimal angle, improving its solar energy absorption efficiency.

[0038] In summary, this device can be flexibly installed on various inclined surfaces, and the installation angle of the solar water heater can be easily adjusted during installation. It is easy to operate, highly stable, and helps to ensure the working efficiency of the solar water heater, resulting in good overall performance.

[0039] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
