Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water heater technology, and in particular to a wall mount and a water heater. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, the popularity of electric water heaters is constantly increasing. During installation, expansion hooks are installed on the wall, and a bracket is installed on the water heater, which is then hung from the expansion hooks to achieve a fixed installation. However, when the water heater is installed against the wall, interference may occur between the expansion hooks and the water and electrical pipes embedded in the wall. Furthermore, after a period of use, the water heater needs to be replaced, but the new water heater may not be the original brand or model, and its size and bracket spacing may differ from the original, making the original expansion hooks on the wall incompatible with the new water heater. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a wall mount and water heater. The wall mount can flexibly adapt to the spacing between different water heater fixing parts, effectively solving the problem that the water heater body cannot be installed close to the wall due to interference between the water heater fixing parts and the buried water and electricity pipelines. At the same time, the wall mount can be compatible with the installation of water heaters of different brands or models, improving the convenience of use and the scope of application.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a hanger, comprising:

[0005] A fixing part, said fixing part being used for connection to the water heater body; and

[0006] The mounting part and the fixing part are arranged along the first direction of the bracket and connected to the fixing part; the mounting part is provided with a plurality of mounting positions, which are arranged along the second direction of the bracket, and any one of the mounting positions is used to mount and cooperate with the water heater fixing parts, wherein the first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0007] The aforementioned bracket has multiple mounting positions arranged along a second direction. During installation, the bracket is moved horizontally along this second direction, allowing the water heater mounting hardware to engage with any of the mounting positions. This adjusts the mounting position of the water heater mounting hardware, enabling the bracket to flexibly adapt to different spacing between mounting hardware, effectively solving the problem of the water heater not being able to be installed flush against the wall due to interference between the mounting hardware and the embedded water and electrical pipes. If the user needs to replace the water heater with a different brand or model, the existing mounting hardware on the wall is retained. Based on the spacing between the two existing mounting hardware pieces, the bracket is moved horizontally along the second direction, allowing the mounting hardware to engage with any of the mounting positions. This bracket is compatible with different brands or models of water heaters, improving convenience and applicability.

[0008] In one embodiment, the mounting portion is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, which are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and each mounting hole is a mounting position.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fixing part is provided with a strip-shaped fixing hole that extends along the second direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, the fixing hole is an oblong hole, and the distance between the centers of the two semicircular holes of the oblong hole is greater than or equal to half the center distance between two adjacent hanging holes.

[0011] In one embodiment, the fixing part is provided with a fixing hole; in the first direction, the fixing hole is disposed opposite to the first hook hole in the second direction; and / or, the fixing hole is disposed opposite to the last hook hole in the second direction.

[0012] In one embodiment, the hooking part is provided with a strip-shaped hooking hole that extends along the second direction, and the hooking position is a different position of the strip-shaped hooking hole in the second direction.

[0013] In one embodiment, the fixing part is provided with a fixing hole, and in the first direction, the fixing hole and the strip-shaped hook hole are arranged opposite to each other at the ends in the second direction.

[0014] In one embodiment, the fixing part and the hooking part are connected to form an L-shape.

[0015] In one embodiment, the fixing part and the hanging part are integrally formed.

[0016] Secondly, this application also provides a water heater, comprising:

[0017] Water heater body;

[0018] The bracket described in any one of the preceding claims is used for mounting on the water heater body; and

[0019] A water heater mounting bracket, which is used for mounting on a wall and for engaging with any of the mounting positions.

[0020] The aforementioned water heater has multiple mounting positions arranged along a second direction. During installation, the bracket is moved horizontally along this second direction, allowing the water heater's mounting hardware to engage with any of the mounting positions. This adjustment of the mounting position allows the bracket to flexibly accommodate different spacing between water heater mounting hardware, effectively solving the problem of the water heater not being able to be installed flush against the wall due to interference between the mounting hardware and the embedded water and electrical pipes. If the user needs to replace the water heater with a different brand or model, the existing mounting hardware on the wall is retained. Based on the spacing between the two existing mounting hardware pieces, the bracket is moved horizontally along the second direction, allowing the mounting hardware to engage with any of the mounting positions. This bracket is compatible with different brands and models of water heaters, improving ease of use and applicability. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a water heater according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 A side view of a water heater and its mounting bracket according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The water heater provided in one embodiment of this application includes a wall mount 10, a water heater body 20, and a mounting bracket 30. The mounting bracket 30 is used for mounting on a wall, and the wall mount 10 is used for mounting on the water heater body 20. The water heater body 20 is connected to the mounting bracket 30 via the wall mount 10.

[0035] Among them, see Figure 1 The water heater body 20 includes a water tank 21, an inlet pipe 22, and an outlet pipe 23. The water tank 21 is connected to the inlet pipe 22 and the outlet pipe 23, and both the inlet pipe 22 and the outlet pipe 23 are connected to the wall-mounted water pipe. The bracket 10 is used to install on the water tank 21.

[0036] Optionally, see Figure 2 The water heater mounting bracket 30 is an expansion hook. The expansion hook includes an expansion bolt and a hook. The expansion bolt is used to install on the wall, and the hook is used to engage with the bracket 10.

[0037] During installation, the water heater mounting bracket 30 is installed on the wall, and the bracket 10 is installed on the water heater body 20. Then, the bracket 10 is hung on the water heater mounting bracket 30, thus allowing the water heater body 20 to be installed on the wall.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 3 The following is a rear view of a water heater and water heater fastener assembled according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 4 The following is a rear view of a water heater and water heater fastener assembled according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 , Figure 5 The following is a rear view of a water heater and water heater fastener assembled according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 , Figure 6 It shows Figure 5 The diagram shows the structure of the water heater bracket. The bracket 10 includes a fixing part 11 and a hanging part 12. The fixing part 11 and the hanging part 12 are arranged along a first direction of the bracket 10. The fixing part 11 and the hanging part 12 are connected. The fixing part 11 is used to connect with the water heater body 20, and the hanging part 12 is used to connect with the water heater fixing component 30.

[0039] Further, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting part 12 has multiple mounting positions arranged along the second direction of the bracket 10. Each mounting position is used to mount and engage with the water heater fixing component 30. The first direction intersects the second direction. Optionally, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. X represents the first direction, and Y represents the second direction.

[0040] During installation, the bracket 10 is moved horizontally along the second direction so that the water heater fixing part 30 is engaged with the appropriate mounting position. This allows the mounting position of the water heater fixing part 30 to be adjusted, enabling the bracket 10 to flexibly adapt to the spacing between different water heater fixing parts 30. This effectively solves the problem that the water heater body 20 cannot be installed close to the wall due to interference between the water heater fixing part 30 and the buried water and electricity pipelines.

[0041] If a user needs to replace a water heater with a different brand or model, the existing water heater mounting bracket 30 on the wall is retained. Based on the distance between the two existing water heater mounting brackets 30 on the wall, the bracket 10 is shifted in the second direction so that the water heater mounting bracket 30 engages with one of the mounting positions. In this way, the bracket 10 can be compatible with different brands or models of water heaters, which improves the convenience and applicability of use.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The mounting portion 12 is provided with a strip-shaped mounting hole 121, which extends along a second direction. The mounting positions are different locations of the strip-shaped mounting hole 121 in the second direction. It can be understood that the strip-shaped mounting hole 121 provides continuous, stepless adjustment stroke in the second direction.

[0043] During installation, the water heater fixing component 30 is placed in the strip-shaped hanging hole 121. The bracket 10 is moved horizontally along the second direction, allowing the water heater fixing component 30 to move relative to the bracket 10 within the strip-shaped hanging hole 121. This adjusts the hanging position of the water heater fixing component 30 within the strip-shaped hanging hole 121, enabling the bracket 10 to flexibly adapt to the spacing between different water heater fixing components 30. This effectively solves the problem that the water heater body 20 cannot be installed flush against the wall due to interference between the water heater fixing component 30 and the buried water and electricity pipelines.

[0044] If a user needs to replace a water heater with a different brand or model, they should retain the existing water heater mounting bracket 30 on the wall and insert it into the strip-shaped mounting hole 121. Then, the bracket 10 should be moved horizontally along the second direction so that the spacing between the two water heater mounting brackets 30 can be continuously matched at any position in the strip-shaped mounting hole 121. In this way, the bracket 10 can be compatible with the installation of water heater bodies 20 of different brands or models, which improves the convenience of use and the scope of application.

[0045] It should be noted that the length of the strip-shaped mounting hole 121 in the second direction can be set according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited here. In this embodiment, the length of the strip-shaped mounting hole 121 in the second direction is 70mm.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fixing part 11 is provided with a fixing hole 111 for the fastener 40 to pass through. During installation, the fastener 40 is inserted into the fixing hole 111, and the bracket 10 is detachably installed on the water heater body 20 using the fastener 40. In this way, with the cooperation of the fixing hole 111 and the fastener 40, the bracket 10 can be quickly installed on the water heater body 20, ensuring the firmness of the connection between the bracket 10 and the water heater body 20. At the same time, the bracket 10 can also be quickly removed from the water heater body 20 for easy replacement.

[0047] Optionally, see Figure 6 The fixing hole 111 is a circular hole, and the diameter of the circular hole is adapted to the fastener 40.

[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing hole 111 can also be an elliptical hole or a square hole, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0049] In one embodiment, at least two fixing holes 111 are provided. During installation, fasteners 40 are inserted into at least two fixing holes 111, and the bracket 10 is installed on the water heater body 20 using at least two fasteners 40. This can further improve the firmness of the connection between the bracket 10 and the water heater body 20 and prevent the bracket 10 from rotating relative to the water heater body 20.

[0050] It should be noted that the arrangement of at least two fixing holes 111 can be set according to actual needs. Optionally, at least two fixing holes 111 are spaced apart in the first direction; or, at least two fixing holes 111 are spaced apart in the second direction.

[0051] Of course, in other embodiments, only one fixing hole 111 may be provided, and a limiting structure may be provided between the bracket 10 and the water heater body 20. Specifically, the limiting structure includes a limiting protrusion and a limiting hole. One of the bracket 10 and the water heater body 20 is provided with a limiting hole, and the other of the bracket 10 and the water heater body 20 is provided with a limiting protrusion. The limiting protrusion is provided in the limiting hole to limit the bracket 10 and the water heater body 20, thereby preventing the bracket 10 from rotating relative to the water heater body 20.

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 In the first direction, the fixing hole 111 and the strip-shaped hanging hole 121 are positioned opposite each other at their ends in the second direction. It is understood that the strip-shaped hanging hole 121 extends towards the side of the fixing hole 111. This arrangement allows for a wider spacing range of the water heater fixing components 30 when the two brackets 10 are installed back-to-back, facing each other, or in the same direction on the water heater body 20.

[0053] It should be noted that, for reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 There are multiple ways to install the bracket 10 on the water heater body 20, such as setting the two brackets 10 back to back, facing each other, or in the same direction. This can not only meet the spacing requirements between different water heater fixing parts 30, but also meet the relative position requirements of different water heater fixing parts 30 and bracket 10.

[0054] Assume the center distance between the two existing water heater fasteners 30 on the wall is L, and the length of the strip-shaped mounting hole 121 in the second direction is 50mm.

[0055] See Figure 3 If the two brackets 10 are set back from each other, the spacing range of the water heater fixing parts 30 can be [L, L+100].

[0056] See Figure 3 If the two brackets 10 are set facing each other, the spacing range of the water heater fixing parts 30 can be [L-100, L].

[0057] See Figure 4 If the two brackets 10 are set in the same direction, the spacing range of the water heater fixing parts 30 can be [L-50, L+50].

[0058] In one embodiment, see Figure 7, Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 7 A rear view of the water heater and water heater fastener after assembly according to another embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1 , Figure 8 A rear view of the water heater and water heater fastener after assembly according to another embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 , Figure 9 A rear view of the water heater and water heater fastener after assembly according to another embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 , Figure 10 It shows Figure 9 The diagram shows the structure of the water heater mounting bracket. The mounting section 12 has multiple mounting holes 121, which are spaced apart in a second direction. Each mounting hole 121 represents a mounting position. It is understood that the multiple mounting holes 121 are spaced apart in the second direction to provide discrete adjustment strokes.

[0059] During installation, based on the existing spacing between the two water heater fixing parts 30 on the wall, select one of the multiple hanging holes 121 to hang with the water heater fixing part 30. This allows the bracket 10 to flexibly adapt to different spacings between water heater fixing parts 30, effectively solving the problem that the water heater body 20 cannot be installed close to the wall due to interference between the water heater fixing parts 30 and the buried water and electricity pipelines.

[0060] When a user replaces a water heater with a different brand or model, the existing water heater mounting bracket 30 on the wall is retained. Based on the distance between two existing water heater mounting brackets 30 on the wall, a corresponding mounting hole 121 from among multiple mounting holes 121 is selected to hang the water heater mounting bracket 30. In this way, the bracket 10 can be compatible with different brands or models of water heaters, improving the convenience and applicability of use.

[0061] Furthermore, since the multiple mounting holes 121 are spaced apart in the second direction, the opening area can be reduced, the cross-sectional weakening rate can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the bracket 10, preventing the bracket 10 from deforming, and increasing the service life of the bracket 10.

[0062] It should be noted that the length of the mounting hole 121 in the second direction is greater than the diameter of the water heater fixing member 30. The water heater fixing member 30 is positioned behind the mounting hole 121, and the mounting member 30 and the wall of the mounting hole 121 are fitted with a clearance, thus providing a certain safety gap between them. Furthermore, the wall of the mounting hole 121 can limit the movement of the water heater fixing member 30 in the second direction, preventing it from moving and also preventing the fixing member 30 from rotating out.

[0063] In one embodiment, see Figure 9 and Figure 10 The fixing hole 111 is strip-shaped and extends along the second direction. Multiple mounting holes 121 are spaced apart along the second direction to provide discrete adjustment strokes. During installation, based on the existing distance between the two water heater fixing parts 30 on the wall, a corresponding mounting hole 121 is selected from the multiple mounting holes 121 to engage with the water heater fixing part 30. If the center distance between the corresponding mounting holes 121 of the two brackets 10 is not equal to the original distance between the two water heater fixing parts 30, the bracket 10 is translated along the second direction to adjust the position of the fastener 40 within the fixing hole 111, thus providing continuous compensation for the discrete adjustment strokes. This configuration satisfies the continuity of the distance between the two water heater fixing parts 30, allowing the bracket 10 to flexibly adapt to different distances of water heater fixing parts 30, while also being compatible with different brands or models of water heaters, improving ease of use and applicability.

[0064] In one embodiment, see Figure 10 The fixing hole 111 is an oblong hole that extends along the second direction. Specifically, the oblong hole includes a rectangular hole 1111 and two semi-circular holes 1112. The two semi-circular holes 1112 are respectively located at both ends of the rectangular hole 1111, and both semi-circular holes 1112 are connected to the rectangular hole 1111.

[0065] Furthermore, the distance between the centers of the two semicircular holes 1112 is greater than half the center distance between two adjacent mounting holes 121; or, the distance between the centers of the two semicircular holes 1112 is equal to half the center distance between two adjacent mounting holes 121. Since the oblong holes provide continuous adjustment stroke, making the distance between the centers of the two semicircular holes 1112 greater than or equal to half the center distance between two adjacent mounting holes 121 can compensate for the continuity of discrete adjustment stroke, thereby satisfying the continuity of the center distance between the two water heater fasteners 30.

[0066] In this embodiment, the length of the mounting hole 121 in the second direction is 20mm, the distance between the holes of two adjacent mounting holes 121 is 5mm, and the center distance between two adjacent mounting holes 121 is 25mm. The fixing hole 111 is an oblong hole, and the distance between the centers of the two semi-circular holes 1112 is 12.5mm.

[0067] In one embodiment, see Figure 10 The fixing hole 111 is set to correspond to the first or last hanging hole 121 in the second direction. With this setting, after the two brackets 10 are installed back to back, facing each other, or in the same direction on the water heater body 20, the spacing range of the water heater fixing parts 30 can be larger.

[0068] Optionally, the center of the fixing hole 111 is aligned with the center of the first hook hole 121; or, the center of the fixing hole 111 is aligned with the center of the last hook hole 121.

[0069] In one embodiment, the bracket 10 is provided with at least one of reinforcing ribs and flanges. This improves the structural strength of the bracket 10, ensures that the bracket 10 can bear the weight of the water heater body 20, prevents the bracket 10 from deforming, and extends the service life of the bracket 10.

[0070] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 and Figure 10 The fixing part 11 and the hanging part 12 are connected to form an L-shape. In this way, the size of the bracket 10 can be reduced, and costs can also be saved.

[0071] In one embodiment, the fixing part 11 and the hanging part 12 are integrally formed. This facilitates processing, ensures the overall strength of the bracket 10, guarantees that the bracket 10 can bear the weight of the water heater body 20, prevents the bracket 10 from deforming, and extends the service life of the bracket 10.

[0072] In this embodiment, the fixing part 11 is provided with fixing holes 111. The hanging part 12 is provided with hanging holes 121, which are strip-shaped; or, multiple hanging holes 121 are provided, and the multiple hanging holes 121 are arranged at intervals along the second direction. This arrangement makes the hanger 10 simple in structure, low in cost, and highly versatile.
