Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective support technology, specifically a protective support for transporting a double-tank electric water heater. Background Technology

[0002] As a common household appliance, electric water heaters require careful protection of their core component, the inner tank, during production and transportation. Currently, dual-tank electric water heaters are available on the market, offering advantages such as high heating efficiency and the ability to be used alternately. However, the dual-tank structure also increases the overall length and weight of the water heater, placing higher demands on its stability and protection during transportation.

[0003] In existing technologies, transport supports are typically simple in structure and use a single fixing method, often employing rigid supports and simple binding. During transport, especially under conditions such as bumps and sudden braking, these supports are ineffective in preventing the inner tank from shaking, rotating, or axially shifting, posing a risk of collision and friction with the support. This can easily damage the enamel layer on the inner tank surface or cause scratches, affecting product quality and even causing structural damage to the inner tank, resulting in economic losses. Furthermore, traditional supports are often highly fixed, unable to flexibly adapt to inner tanks of different sizes, and inconvenient for stacking and storage, resulting in low space utilization. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a specialized transport protection support that can provide all-around, flexible, and stable fixing for dual-tank electric water heaters, adaptable to different sizes, and easy to handle and stack. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a protective bracket for transporting double-tank electric water heaters. It features all-round three-dimensional protection, stable and reliable fixation, effective protection of the inner tank surface, shock and scratch resistance, adjustable height, strong versatility, and ease of handling and stacking. It solves the problems of multi-dimensional movement of the inner tank during transportation, easy damage to the inner tank surface, poor versatility and adaptability of the bracket, and inconvenience in handling and storage.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the aforementioned objectives of providing all-around three-dimensional protection, stable and reliable fixation, effective protection of the inner tank surface, shock and scratch resistance, adjustable height, strong versatility, and ease of handling and stacking, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A protective bracket for transporting a double-tank electric water heater, comprising a base, with support columns at the four corners of the upper side of the base, and lifting rods inside the support columns. A top plate is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting rods, and a fixing component is fixedly installed on the lower side of the top plate. Two V-shaped support blocks are provided on the upper side of the base, and the inner tank is provided on the upper side of the V-shaped support blocks. The fixing components are respectively located directly below the corresponding V-shaped support blocks. Fixing plates are installed at both ends of the base, and the fixing plates are located at both ends of the corresponding V-shaped support blocks.

[0006] Preferably, foam pads are provided on the upper side of the V-shaped support block and the lower side of the fixing member, and a fixing suction cup is provided inside the V-shaped support block. The output end of the fixing suction cup passes through the upper side of the V-shaped support block and the interior of the foam pad in sequence.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly installed on the lower side of the top plate, and a fixing member is fixedly installed on the lower side of the connecting rod. A fixing rod is fixedly installed on the upper side of the top plate, and the two ends of the fixing rod are respectively fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod.

[0008] Preferably, the support column at the diagonal position on the upper side of the base is provided with a lifting screw, and the lifting screw passes through the interior of the corresponding lifting rod. The top end of the lifting screw is provided with a rotating head, and the rotating head is located on the upper side of the top plate and is rotatably connected to the upper side of the top plate.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a protective bracket for transporting a double-tank electric water heater, which has the following beneficial effects: This temporary lighting fixture, through the clamping of the bottom V-shaped support and the top fixing component, effectively restricts the longitudinal movement and rolling of the inner tank. The fixing plates at both ends, together with the air cushion and the rotatable fixing frame, limit the inner tank from the axial and lateral directions, preventing it from moving back and forth or swinging left and right, forming a three-dimensional constraint space. Foam pads are placed on the V-shaped support and fixing component, providing a soft buffer contact surface to avoid hard collisions and friction. The fixed suction cup uses the principle of negative pressure to adsorb... The inner liner surface is reinforced with a non-destructive fixing method, perfectly protecting the enamel layer and appearance of the inner liner. The lifting screw and lifting rod structure allows for precise adjustment of the height of the top plate and fixing components, adapting to inner liners of different diameters and greatly enhancing the versatility and applicability of the bracket. Forklift holes inside the base facilitate forklift insertion for overall handling, making operation convenient and efficient.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-4A protective support for transporting a double-tank electric water heater includes a base 1. Support columns 2 are provided at the four corners of the upper side of the base 1, and lifting rods 4 are provided inside the support columns 2. A top plate 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting rod 4, and a fixing member 11 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the top plate 3. Two V-shaped support blocks 9 are provided on the upper side of the base 1, and an inner tank is provided on the upper side of the V-shaped support blocks 9. The fixing members 11 are respectively located directly below the corresponding V-shaped support blocks 9. Fixing plates 6 are installed at both ends of the base 1, and the fixing plates 6 are located at both ends of the corresponding V-shaped support blocks 9.

[0016] The core structure of the protective bracket includes a base 1 serving as a basic load-bearing platform. Support columns 2 are fixed at the four corners of the upper side of the base 1, forming the vertical skeleton of the bracket and ensuring the stability of the overall structure. Each support column 2 contains a movable lifting rod 4, allowing for flexible height adjustment. A top plate 3 is fixedly installed at the top of all the lifting rods 4, serving as the mounting base for the upper fixing mechanism. Two V-shaped support blocks 9 are arranged side-by-side on the upper surface of the base 1, each supporting an inner liner. This V-shaped design has good self-centering properties, accommodating inner liner diameters within a certain range and initially limiting their lateral movement. Crucially, fixing members 11 are fixedly installed on the lower side of the top plate 3, precisely positioned above the corresponding V-shaped support blocks 9. This forms a "top-pressing, bottom-supporting" clamping structure, effectively preventing the inner liner from jumping vertically. To further constrain the axial forward and backward movement of the inner liner, fixing plates 6 are installed at both ends of the base 1. These fixing plates, like a wall, are set at both ends of the V-shaped support pier 9, directly limiting the ends of the inner liner.

[0017] Foam pads 15 are provided on the upper side of the V-shaped support block 9 and the lower side of the fixing member 11, and a fixing suction cup 14 is provided inside the V-shaped support block 9. The output end of the fixing suction cup 14 passes through the upper side of the V-shaped support block 9 and the interior of the foam pad 15 in sequence.

[0018] Foam pads 15 are respectively attached or embedded on the upper contact surface of the V-shaped support block 9 and the lower contact surface of the fastener 11. These foam pads are preferably made of highly elastic, pressure-resistant cushioning materials such as polyethylene (PE) or polyurethane (PU). Their function is to provide support while absorbing vibration energy, preventing direct contact between the rigid support and the inner liner surface, thus preventing scratches. A fixed suction cup 14 is integrated inside the V-shaped support block 9. The suction cup opening of the fixed suction cup 14 faces upwards, and its output end, the suction cup rod, passes through the upper side of the V-shaped support block 9 and the interior of the foam pad 15, allowing the suction cup surface to fit tightly against the inner liner surface placed on the foam pad. By pressing or pumping air (in the case of a vacuum suction cup operation), the fixed suction cup 14 can generate a strong suction force, "locking" the inner liner onto the V-shaped support block, effectively preventing the inner liner from rolling or shifting laterally during transport.

[0019] A connecting rod 17 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the top plate 3, and a fixing member 11 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the connecting rod 17. A fixing rod 12 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the top plate 3, and the two ends of the fixing rod 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 17.

[0020] To ensure sufficient structural strength and stability of the fixing component 11 suspended from the top plate 3, a connecting rod 17 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the top plate 3, and the fixing component 11 is directly fixed to the lower side of the connecting rod 17. Simultaneously, a fixing rod 12 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the top plate 3, with both ends of the fixing rod 12 fixedly connected to the upper ends of the connecting rods 17 on both sides. This forms a stable "door" or "bridge" shaped frame structure, greatly enhancing the rigidity of the fixing component 11 and preventing it from bending or deforming when subjected to the upward force of the inner liner.

[0021] The support column 2 at the diagonal position on the upper side of the base 1 is provided with a lifting screw 18, and the lifting screw 18 passes through the interior of the corresponding lifting rod 4. The top of the lifting screw 18 is provided with a rotating head 13, and the rotating head 13 is located on the upper side of the top plate 3, and the rotating head 13 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the top plate 3.

[0022] Inside the two support columns 2 located diagonally on the upper side of the base 1, lifting screws 18 are installed. These lifting screws 18 pass through threaded holes inside the corresponding lifting rods 4, which act as nuts. The top of the lifting screw 18 extends above the top plate 3 and connects to a rotating head 13. This rotating head 13 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the top plate 3 via a bearing or a clearance fit between the rotating head and the shaft hole. When height adjustment is needed, the operator rotates the rotating head 13, causing the lifting screw 18 to rotate. Since the lifting screw 18 is circumferentially fixed to the base 1 via bearings or threaded holes, its rotational motion is converted into linear motion of the meshing lifting rods 4, thereby causing the top plate 3 and the entire upper frame to rise or fall synchronously. This diagonal arrangement ensures the necessary adjustment force while simplifying the structure.

[0023] The bottom of the base 1 is provided with an opening 16 that can accommodate the rotating head 13 and the fixing rod 12, and the interior of the base 1 is provided with a forklift hole 7.

[0024] To optimize space utilization, this invention fully considers the stacking requirements during large-volume transportation. A specific opening 16 is provided at the bottom of the base 1. When multiple supports are stacked, the opening 16 at the bottom of the base 1 of the upper support can precisely accommodate the rotating head 13 and fixing rod 12 at the top of the lower support. This "concave-convex fit" stacking method allows the upper and lower supports to fit tightly together, preventing slippage and misalignment during stacking, greatly improving the stability and safety of stacking. For easy mechanized handling, a standard forklift hole 7 is pre-drilled inside the base 1, allowing for direct insertion and handling of forklift forks, saving time and effort.

[0025] An air cushion 10 is provided on one side of the fixed plate 6, and the air cushion 10 is located at both ends of the V-shaped support block 9. A partition 5 is provided on the upper side of the base 1, and two V-shaped support blocks 9 are respectively located on both sides of the partition 5. A rotating fixed frame 8 is provided on both sides of the upper end of the partition 5, and the fixed frame 8 is located on one side of the fixed plate 6.

[0026] Air cushions 10 are installed on the side of the fixing plate 6 facing the inner liner. These air cushions 10 are located at both ends of the V-shaped support blocks 9, contacting the ends of the inner liner. The air cushions 10 are filled with air, providing excellent cushioning performance and absorbing the impact energy of the inner liner in the axial and longitudinal directions, preventing the inner liner end cap from colliding with the rigid fixing plate. To better secure the inner liner before transportation, a partition plate 5 is also provided between the two V-shaped support blocks 9 on the upper side of the base 1. Rotatable fixing brackets 8 are respectively installed on both sides of the upper end of the partition plate 5 via hinges or pivots. After the inner liner is loaded, the fixing brackets 8 can be rotated to the top or side of the inner liner and locked with the fixing plate 6 or connecting rod 17 by pins or buckles, thereby applying additional pressure or limiting the inner liner from above or the side, forming a second layer of protection to ensure safety.

[0027] Working principle: First, according to the diameter of the inner liner to be transported, rotate the rotating head 13 to adjust the top plate 3 and the fixing part 11 to a suitable height, leaving space for placing the inner liner. Place the two inner liners on the two V-shaped support blocks 9 respectively. The V-shaped structure will automatically center. Lower the fixing part 11 so that the foam pad 15 on its lower side gently presses on the top of the inner liner to form a vertical clamp. At this time, the fixing suction cup 14 at the bottom of the inner liner will be manually pressed or vacuumed to firmly adhere the inner liner and prevent it from rolling. The two ends of the inner liner are flexibly limited by the air pad 10 on the fixing plate 6 to prevent it from moving back and forth. Finally, flip the fixing frame 8 and lock it to provide additional safety.

[0028] During transportation, when encountering bumps and vibrations, the foam pad 15 and air cushion 10 absorb impact energy through their own deformation, providing a primary buffer. The composite fixing scheme of upper and lower clamping, end limit, and bottom adsorption together constitutes a three-dimensional constraint system, effectively suppressing the movement of the inner liner in all degrees of freedom (up and down, left and right, forward and backward, and rolling), ensuring the smoothness of the transportation process. When stacking is required, the opening 16 at the bottom of the base 1 cooperates with the rotating head 13 and the fixing rod 12 at the top of the lower support to achieve stable stacking. When handling is required, the forklift forks can be directly inserted into the forklift hole 7 for easy movement.
