Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar water heater bracket technology, and in particular to a solar water heater bracket with protective function. Background Technology
[0002] The solar water heater bracket is an indispensable part of the solar water heater system. It is mainly responsible for supporting the water tank and collector of the solar water heater, ensuring its stability and safety. The bracket is equipped with a base, which can limit the bottom of the vacuum collector tube. However, when the vacuum collector tube is removed from the inside of the base, the installation position of the vacuum collector tube will be exposed. Due to the lack of a shielding structure, it is easy for foreign objects to enter. When a hard foreign object enters the installation position of the vacuum collector tube, the vacuum collector tube will be damaged due to contact with the hard foreign object during installation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a protective solar water heater bracket, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A protective solar water heater bracket includes a bracket body and a base. The base is fixedly installed below the front end of the bracket body, and a baffle is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base. Fasteners are embedded on the surface of the baffle, and a protective plate is embedded inside the base.
[0006] More preferably, the base has a rod groove inside, and a threaded groove is formed on the lower surface of the base around the rod groove. A spring is provided inside the rod groove, and a tube groove is formed on the upper surface of the base, which communicates with the rod groove. The number of tube grooves is several.
[0007] More preferably, the fastener passes through the baffle and is embedded in the threaded groove, the baffle is fixed to the base by the fastener, and the diameter of the baffle is larger than the diameter of the rod groove.
[0008] More preferably, the upper surface of the protective plate is provided with a protective pad, the lower surface of the protective plate is fixedly installed with a guide rod, and the lower surface of the guide rod is fixedly installed with a limit block.
[0009] More preferably, the protective plate is embedded in the tube groove, the lower end of the guide rod extends into the rod groove, and the diameter of the tube groove is larger than the diameter of the rod groove.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model proposes a protective solar water heater bracket, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] In this invention, by setting up a base, baffle, fasteners and protective plate in cooperation, when the vacuum collector tube is not inserted into the tube groove of the base, the spring inside the base rod groove pushes the protective plate to block the tube groove, thus preventing foreign objects from entering the tube groove. By disassembling the fasteners, the baffle can be removed, and the spring inside the rod groove can be taken out for replacement and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0017] It should be noted that all directional indicators such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc. in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture as shown in the attached figure. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0018] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can also refer to a mechanical connection, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a protective solar water heater bracket includes a bracket body 1 and a base 2. The base 2 is fixedly installed below the front end of the bracket body 1. A baffle 3 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base 2. Fasteners 4 are embedded on the surface of the baffle 3. A protective plate 5 is embedded inside the base 2.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment: a rod groove 201 is provided inside the base 2, a threaded groove 202 is provided on the lower surface of the base 2 and around the rod groove 201, a spring 203 is provided inside the rod groove 201, and a tube groove is provided on the upper surface of the base 2, which is connected to the rod groove 201, and the number of tube grooves is several.
[0021] In the above structure, the spring 203 is in an extended state in its natural state, and the elastic coefficient of the spring 203 must ensure that when the vacuum heat collection tube is inserted into the tube groove, it can push the protective plate 5 down and cause the spring 203 to deform. This avoids the spring 203's elastic coefficient affecting the insertion of the vacuum heat collection tube into the tube groove of the base 2.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment: the fastener 4 passes through the baffle 3 and is embedded in the threaded groove 202. The baffle 3 is fixed to the base 2 by the fastener 4. The diameter of the baffle 3 is larger than the diameter of the rod groove 201.
[0023] In the above structure, the baffle 3 can cover the rod groove 201. By removing the fastener 4, the baffle 3 can be removed, thereby exposing the rod groove 201, so that the spring 203 can be replaced and maintained.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment: the upper surface of the protective plate 5 is provided with a protective pad 503, the lower surface of the protective plate 5 is fixedly installed with a guide rod 501, and the lower surface of the guide rod 501 is fixedly installed with a limit block 502.
[0025] In the above structure, the protective gasket 503 can protect the bottom of the vacuum heat collection tube when it is inserted into the tube groove, so as to avoid damage caused by hard contact between the vacuum heat collection tube and the protective plate 5.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment: the protective plate 5 is embedded in the tube groove, the lower end of the guide rod 501 extends into the rod groove 201, and the diameter of the tube groove is larger than the diameter of the rod groove 201.
[0027] In use, when the vacuum collector tube is not inserted into the tube groove of the base 2, the protective plate 5 is positioned at the end of the tube groove and blocks it under the pushing action of the spring 203. This prevents foreign objects from entering the tube groove when the vacuum collector tube is not inserted. When the vacuum collector tube is inserted into the tube groove of the base 2, the protective plate 5 is squeezed into the bottom of the tube groove as the vacuum collector tube is continuously inserted into the tube groove, and the spring 203 is compressed in the process. When the vacuum collector tube is removed from the tube groove, the protective plate 5 will block the end of the tube groove again under the pushing action of the spring 203. When it is necessary to disassemble the spring 203, first remove the fastener 4, and then the baffle 3 can be removed, so that the rod groove 201 is exposed. At this time, the spring 203 can be removed for replacement and maintenance.
[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
