[0046] Reference Figures 1-13As shown, this utility model discloses a drain pipe fixing structure for a concealed water tank, including: a fixed iron frame 1, a drain pipe 2, and a pipe fitting fixing bracket 3. The pipe fitting fixing bracket 3 is detachably or integrally fixed to the fixed iron frame 1. The drain pipe 2 is detachably installed on the pipe fitting fixing bracket 3. The fixed iron frame 1 has a through hole 11, and one end of the drain pipe 2 is located opposite the through hole 11. The pipe fitting fixing bracket 3 is detachably or integrally fixed to the fixed iron frame 1. The integral connection can be achieved by welding or other methods to fix the pipe fitting fixing bracket 3 to the fixed iron frame 1. In this embodiment, the pipe fitting fixing bracket 3 is detachably fixed to the fixed iron frame 1.

[0047] Therefore, this utility model features a structural design in which the pipe fitting fixing bracket 3 is detachably fixed to the fixed iron frame 1, and the drain pipe 2 is detachably installed on the pipe fitting fixing bracket 3. The pipe fitting fixing bracket 3 provides stable support for the drain pipe 2, making the drain pipe 2 securely installed. The pipe fitting fixing bracket 3 is not easily damaged during installation or subsequent use, thereby reducing the risk of installation damage. Furthermore, the overall structure of this utility model is simple and easy to install. The pipe fitting fixing bracket 3 is detachably fixed to the fixed iron frame 1, eliminating the need to cut grooves in the fixed iron frame and form fixing pieces by bending or subsequent welding on the grooves. This saves processing costs and reduces damage to the strength of the fixed iron frame, ensuring the reliable strength of the fixed iron frame.

[0048] In some embodiments, the drain pipe 2 is detachably installed on the pipe fitting bracket 3 through a snap-fit ​​limiting structure, but this is not a limitation. The drain pipe 2 can also be installed on the pipe fitting bracket 3 through other detachable structures, such as locking or insertion.

[0049] In some embodiments, the pipe fitting fixing bracket 3 includes a fixing cavity 31, an installation inlet 32, and a first stop 33. The drain pipe 2 has a bend 21, which enters the fixing cavity 31 through the installation inlet 32 ​​and is stopped and limited by the first stop 33, so that the bend 21 is locked in the fixing cavity 31. Thus, the installation position of the drain pipe 2 in the fixing cavity 31 is restricted by the setting of the first stop 33.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first stop 33 is the cavity wall of the fixed cavity 31.

[0051] For example, the snap-fit ​​limiting structure may include a snap-fit ​​part on the drain pipe 2 and a limiting part 34 on the pipe fitting fixing bracket 3. The limiting part 34 is located between the installation inlet 32 ​​and the first stop part 33. The snap-fit ​​part snaps into the limiting part 34 and the first stop part 33. The first stop part 33 and the limiting part 34 cooperate to limit the snap-fit ​​part in a first direction. The snap-fit ​​part is located between the limiting part 34 and the first stop part 33. By setting the limiting part 34, the drain pipe 2 is prevented from coming out of the fixing cavity 31 between the limiting part 34 and the first stop part 33, thereby limiting the drain pipe 2 to a preset installation position in the fixing cavity 31.

[0052] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​limiting structure further includes a guide portion disposed on the drain pipe 2. A second stop portion 35 is formed on the top of the pipe fitting fixing bracket 3. The second stop portion 35 limits the guide portion in a second direction, where the first direction intersects the second direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second stop portion 35 is disposed above the fixing cavity 31, the installation inlet 32 ​​is located in front of the fixing cavity 31, and the first stop portion 33 is located behind the fixing cavity 31. When the snap-fit ​​portion is engaged between the limiting portion 34 and the first stop portion 33, both the snap-fit ​​portion and the guide portion are located below the second stop portion 35.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first direction can be a front-back direction and the second direction can be a top-bottom direction; however, it is not limited to this, and it can also be that the first direction can be a top-bottom direction and the second direction can be a front-back direction, as long as the first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0054] In some embodiments, in order to improve the installation firmness of the present invention, the second stop 35 is disposed above the first stop 33, and limits the drain pipe 2 in the second direction. The snap-fit ​​part is disposed below the second stop 35, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0055] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​part is a rib provided on the drain pipe 2, specifically the second rib 24. The limiting part 34 is a spring-loaded buckle corresponding to the snap-fit ​​part. The spring-loaded buckle is Z-shaped, with one end connected to the wall of the fixing cavity 31 and the other end used to prevent the snap-fit ​​part from dislodging from the installation position of the fixing cavity 31. The distance between the limiting part 34 and the first stop part 33 is adapted to the thickness of the snap-fit ​​part. This distance can be slightly greater than the thickness of the snap-fit ​​part, i.e., the thickness of the second rib 24, so that the drain pipe 2 can be stably positioned in the installation position of the fixing cavity 31.

[0056] To facilitate quick installation, the limiting part 34 has an inclined guide surface 341 on the side facing the drain pipe 2, so that the snap-fit ​​part can quickly move between the limiting part 34 and the first stop part 33 to achieve quick installation.

[0057] In some embodiments, a guide portion is formed on the drain pipe 2, and a guide groove is provided at a corresponding position on the pipe fitting fixing bracket 3. The guide portion is engaged in the guide groove and can slide along the guide groove.

[0058] In this embodiment, the gap between the second stop portion 35 and the limiting portion 34 forms a guide groove corresponding to the position of the guide portion. The guide portion is engaged in the guide groove and can slide along the guide groove.

[0059] In this embodiment, the guide portion includes a first rib 23 formed on the side wall of the outer wall of the drain pipe 2, and a first guide groove 311 is provided in the fixing cavity 31 corresponding to the position of the first rib 23. The end of the first rib 23 is engaged in the first guide groove 311 and can slide along the first guide groove 311. The guide portion also includes a third rib 25 formed on the bottom wall of the outer wall of the drain pipe 2, and a third guide groove 312 is provided in the fixing cavity 31 corresponding to the position of the third rib 25. The third rib 25 is engaged in the third guide groove 312 and can slide along the third guide groove 312.

[0060] In this embodiment, a second rib 24 is provided below the first rib 23, and the first rib 23 and the second rib 24 are arranged vertically, which makes the arrangement of the ribs of the drainage pipe more compact.

[0061] Furthermore, a notch 13 is formed on the side of the fixed iron frame 1 facing the drain pipe 2, and the notch 13 can be used to avoid the drain pipe when the diameter is large.

[0062] The top of the fixing cavity 31 has a notch 313, and the bent part 21 is inserted into the notch 313, thereby making the overall structure of this utility model more robust.

[0063] In some embodiments, the pipe fitting fixing bracket 3 is detachably fixed to the fixing iron frame 1 by locking or by snap-fitting.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in Embodiment 1 of the concealed water tank drain pipe fixing structure of this utility model, the fixing iron frame 1 and the pipe fixing component are fixed by screws 4 passing through them to achieve locking, as shown. Figures 5 to 7As shown in Embodiment 2 of the concealed water tank drainage pipe fixing structure of this utility model, the pipe fixing bracket 3 has at least two spaced elastic buckle members 36 protruding from the surface facing the fixing iron frame 1. The fixing iron frame 1 has at least two through holes 12. The elastic buckle members 36 pass through the through holes 12 one by one. After the elastic buckle members 36 pass through the through holes 12, the elastic buckle members 36 elastically open and snap onto the surface of the fixing iron frame 1 away from the pipe fixing bracket 3, thereby achieving a snap-fit ​​fixation. The ends of the elastic buckle members 36 can be two separate and elastic halves.

[0065] This utility model also discloses a concealed water tank structure, including a water tank body and a drain pipe fixing structure of the above-mentioned concealed water tank, wherein the other end of the drain pipe 2 is sealed and connected to the drain outlet of the water tank body.

[0066] In summary, the installation process of the drain pipe 2 and the fitting bracket 3 is as follows: When the drain pipe 2 is installed along the installation direction, after the first rib 23 is aligned with the first guide groove 311 and the third rib 25 is aligned with the third guide groove 312, the drain pipe 2 is pushed inward. The first rib 23 and the third rib 25 can play a guiding and positioning role during installation. When not locked in place, the second rib 24 is located in front of the limiting part 34. After being locked in place, the second rib 24 passes over the limiting part 34 and is locked between the first stop part 33 and the limiting part 34 (that is, the locking part at the end of the second rib 24 is locked between the first stop part 33 and the limiting part 34). When disassembling the drain pipe 2 and the fitting bracket 3, the limiting part 34 can be pried outward by manpower, and the drain pipe 2 can be removed.

[0067] It should be understood that the various examples described above can be utilized in multiple directions, such as tilted, inverted, horizontal, vertical, etc., and in multiple configurations, without departing from the principles of this invention. The embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples of effective application of the principles of this invention, and this invention is not limited to any specific details of these embodiments.
