Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar water heater technology, and more specifically relates to a quick-installation tube support for solar vacuum tubes. Background Technology

[0002] Solar water heaters are equipped with several vacuum heat-absorbing tubes. One end of each tube has a heat-conducting copper rod extending out and connecting to the water tank. The other end of the tube is fixed to the solar panel bracket and supported by a tube support. Existing tube supports are directly bolted to the bracket. During installation, the vacuum tube must first be connected to the tube support, then the connection hole on the tube support must be aligned with the threaded hole on the bracket, and then the bolts must be tightened. During this process, the tube support must be stabilized by hand to prevent it from moving, which is time-consuming and laborious. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a quick-installation tube holder for solar vacuum tubes. By aligning the T-shaped locking block on the tube holder body with the through slot on the card holder and passing it through, and then rotating the tube holder body, the T-shaped locking block can be fixed by the fixing and limiting mechanism, thus achieving rapid installation and fixation of the tube holder with high efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a quick-installation tube holder for a solar vacuum tube, comprising a tube holder body and a mounting base. The tube holder body is provided with a T-shaped locking block, and the mounting base is provided with a through groove corresponding to the T-shaped locking block. The T-shaped locking block passes through the through groove and rotates to fix the tube holder body on the mounting base. The mounting base is provided with a fixing and limiting structure corresponding to the T-shaped locking block.

[0005] Furthermore, the fixed limiting structure includes two limiting blocks and two spring plates with a certain elasticity. One end of the elastic plate is hinged to a card seat, and the card seat is provided with a groove corresponding to the elastic plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the opening of the channel is chamfered.

[0007] Furthermore, the card holder includes a support plate and connecting plates located on both sides of the support plate. The support plate is higher than the connecting plates. The through groove and the fixing and limiting mechanism are located on the support plate. The connecting plates are connected to the bracket of the solar water heater.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the card holder is connected to the solar water heater bracket, the T-shaped card block on the pipe support body is aligned with the through groove on the card holder, the T-shaped card block is inserted into and passes through the through groove, and then the pipe support body is rotated and the T-shaped card block is fixed by the fixing limiting mechanism, that is, the pipe support body is fixed, which realizes the quick installation and fixing of the pipe support and is highly efficient.

[0014] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "horizontal (X)", "longitudinal (Y)", "vertical (Z)", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this utility model.

[0015] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features. Thus, the use of "first" and "second" to define a feature may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "several" or "a number" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0016] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The present invention will be further described below.

[0017] A quick-release tube holder for a solar vacuum tube includes a tube holder body 1 and a mounting base 2. The tube holder body 1 is provided with a T-shaped locking block 3, and the mounting base 2 is provided with a through groove 4 corresponding to the T-shaped locking block 3. The T-shaped locking block 3 passes through the through groove 4 and rotates to fix the tube holder body 1 on the mounting base 2. The mounting base 2 is provided with a fixing and limiting structure corresponding to the T-shaped locking block 3.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, first connect the bracket 2 to the solar water heater bracket, then align the T-shaped clip 3 on the pipe support body 1 with the through groove 4 on the bracket 2, insert the T-shaped clip 3 into and through the through groove 4, and then rotate the pipe support body 1 so that the vertical plane where the T-shaped clip 3 is located is perpendicular to the vertical plane where the through groove 4 is located. At this time, the pipe support body 1 contacts the bracket 2, and the lower end of the T-shaped clip 3 contacts the bottom surface of the bracket 2. The T-shaped clip 3 is fixed by the fixing limiting mechanism, that is, the pipe support body 1 is fixed, realizing the quick installation and fixing of the pipe support with high efficiency.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown in the example, the preferred fixed limiting structure includes two limiting blocks 5 and two spring plates 6 with a certain elasticity. One end of the elastic plate 6 is hinged to the base 2, and the base 2 is provided with a groove 7 corresponding to the elastic plate 6.

[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the lower end of the T-shaped locking block 3 begins to rotate, it first contacts the spring locking plate 6 and squeezes the spring locking plate 6 to gradually extend into the groove 7 until the lower end of the T-shaped locking block 3 completely passes the elastic locking plate 6. At this time, the end of the elastic locking plate 6 rises again and contacts the side of the lower end of the T-shaped locking block 3. At this time, the other side of the lower end of the T-shaped locking block 3 also contacts the limiting block 5. Therefore, the rotation limit and fixation of the tube support body 1 are achieved by the spring locking plates 6 and the limiting block 5 on the left and right sides of the lower end of the T-shaped locking block 3.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, in this example, preferably, the opening of the channel 4 is provided with a chamfer to facilitate the insertion of the T-shaped card block 3 into the groove 7.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown in this example, preferably, the card holder 2 includes a support plate 8 and connecting plates 9 located on both sides of the support plate 8. The support plate 8 is higher than the connecting plates 9. The through groove 4 and the fixing and limiting mechanism are located on the support plate 8. The connecting plate 9 is connected to the bracket of the solar water heater.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
