Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a bathroom heater conversion frame, belonging to the field of decoration and building materials. Background Technology
[0002] An integrated bathroom heater is a device that integrates ventilation, heating and lighting functions. It is usually installed on the ceiling of the bathroom. For integrated ceilings, installing a bathroom heater only requires disassembling part of the ceiling so that the heater can be placed on the keel frame. However, for gypsum board or PVC board, a conversion frame is required for installation.
[0003] Existing conversion frames are mostly made of aluminum alloy with a painted finish. To save costs, the clips are usually stamped directly onto the aluminum material. However, aluminum alloy is relatively soft and not thick enough, making the clips easy to pry open when installing the bathroom heater panel. Once pried open, the clamping force is weak, and the thin aluminum sheet has low hardness and poor elasticity, making it unable to spring back and reset properly. This causes the bathroom heater panel to fall down due to lack of tightness, causing inconvenience and safety hazards to the user.
[0004] In addition, existing conversion frames have some compatibility issues when installed on ceilings of different materials. For example, when installed on rigid ceilings such as gypsum board, a stable installation can be achieved simply by driving in screws. However, when installed on slightly softer ceilings such as honeycomb panels, relying solely on screws cannot guarantee the stability of the installation. Furthermore, when the main unit of the bathroom heater is heavy, the ceiling may sag or even collapse, affecting the overall aesthetics and lifespan of the ceiling. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a bathroom heater conversion frame to solve the problems of easy structural damage, poor versatility, and unstable installation of existing conversion frames.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0007] A bathroom heater conversion frame includes a frame body, the lower edge of the outer wall of the frame body extends outward to form an installation edge, the inner wall of the frame body is evenly provided with installation holes and evenly distributed with elastic buckles that cooperate with the panel of the bathroom heater, and the upper edge of the inner wall of the frame body extends inward to form a support edge that cooperates with the main unit of the bathroom heater.
[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0009] Furthermore, the frame is made of flame-retardant plastic, and the elastic buckles are made of metal.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a hook and a screw rod. The hook is integrally formed by an installation part parallel to the outer wall of the frame, a connecting part perpendicular to the installation part and respectively located at the top and bottom of the installation part. The installation part is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame. One end of the screw rod is fixedly connected to the connecting part, and the other end of the screw rod has a fastener fixedly connected to the concrete roof of the building.
[0011] Furthermore, the mounting section has a mounting groove, through which screws pass to fix the hook to the outer wall of the frame.
[0012] Furthermore, a connecting groove is provided on the connecting part, and one end of the lead screw passes through the connecting groove and is fixedly connected to the hook by multiple bolts.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the bathroom heater conversion frame includes a frame 10. The lower edge of the outer wall of the frame 10 extends outward to form a mounting edge 11. Mounting holes 12 are evenly provided on the inner wall of the frame 10, and elastic buckles 13 that cooperate with the bathroom heater panel are evenly distributed. The upper edge of the inner wall of the frame 10 extends inward to form a supporting edge 14 that cooperates with the bathroom heater main unit 40.
[0023] The installation of the elastic clip 13 involves first drilling holes in the frame 10, and then using a self-drilling screw to fix the elastic clip 13 to the frame 10. The position of the elastic clip 13 can be adjusted according to the different manufacturers' bathroom heater panels to achieve a closer match with the bathroom heater panel. Because the position of the protrusions that engage the clips is different on the bathroom heater panels of different manufacturers, this structural setting method allows for flexible adjustment of the position of the elastic clip 13 to accommodate the installation of more models of bathroom heaters.
[0024] In another embodiment of this utility model, the frame 10 is made of flame-retardant plastic (such as ABS), which is more stable than the traditional aluminum frame structure, less prone to deformation under stress, and similar to the mainstream bathroom heater panel material on the market, making the uniformity and aesthetics better after installation. The elastic buckle 13 is made of metal, such as high-hardness and elastic stainless steel.
[0025] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a hook 20 and a screw rod 30. The hook 20 is integrally formed by an installation part 21 provided parallel to the outer wall of the frame 10, a connecting part 22 and a fixing part 23 provided perpendicular to the installation part 21 and respectively provided at the top and bottom of the installation part 21. The installation part 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 10. One end of the screw rod 30 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 22, and the other end of the screw rod 30 has a fastener (such as an expansion tube) fixedly connected to the building's concrete roof.
[0026] In another embodiment of this utility model, the mounting part 21 has a mounting groove, and the screw passes through the mounting groove to fix the hook 20 to the outer wall of the frame 10.
[0027] In another embodiment of this utility model, a connecting groove is provided on the connecting part 22, and one end of the lead screw 30 passes through the connecting groove and is fixedly connected to the hook 20 by multiple bolts.
[0028] Ceiling panels on the market are generally available in two types: rigid (such as gypsum board and PVC board) and flexible (such as honeycomb board). Figure 3As shown, when installing the conversion frame of this utility model on the ceiling 50 made of gypsum board or PVC board, the conversion frame is fixed to the wooden block on the ceiling 50 by passing self-tapping screws through the mounting holes 12. Then, the bathroom heater is installed. During installation, the bathroom heater main unit 40 is first inserted into the ceiling 50 through the frame 10, and then its position is adjusted and placed on the support edge 14. Finally, the bathroom heater panel is installed with the elastic buckle 13.
[0029] When installing the conversion frame on the honeycomb panel ceiling 50, first place the frame 10 into the pre-drilled hole in the honeycomb panel, install the hook 20 with screws, and adjust the position of the hook 20 through the mounting groove so that the mounting edge 11 and the fixing part 23 clamp the honeycomb panel from top to bottom to achieve fixation. Then, the bathroom heater can be installed.
[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, when the weight of the bathroom heater is large, the threaded rod 30 can be installed through the connecting groove, and it can be clamped and fixed by setting bolts that cooperate with the threaded rod 30 at the top and bottom of the connecting part 22. The top of the threaded rod 30 is fixed to the building's cement ceiling by pre-drilling holes and cooperating with expansion tubes. At this time, when the bathroom heater main unit 40 is placed on the conversion frame, it will be pulled up by the hook 20 and the threaded rod 30 to prevent the ceiling 50 from sagging or even collapsing.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
