Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric water heater structure technology, and in particular to an electric water heater fixing device. Background Technology
[0002] As essential large storage water appliances in homes and commercial spaces, the ease, stability, and safety of electric water heater installation are paramount. Currently, most electric water heaters are wall-mounted. The traditional method involves pre-drilling nails into the wall and then attaching the mounting bracket to the nails. This method is unstable, as all weight and torque are borne by the shear strength of the bolts, and unavoidable gaps exist between the mounting holes and bolts, making the water heater prone to wobbling and posing a safety risk. A pre-installed bracket method has emerged, where a dedicated bracket is pre-fixed to the wall, and the water heater is then hung on it. However, this method is less efficient because aligning the water heater with the bracket is cumbersome, often requiring multiple attempts and adjustments, extending installation time and causing inconvenience. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a quick-positioning water heater mounting device. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fixing device for electric water heaters, which solves the problem of difficulty in aligning and cooperating the existing electric water heaters with the brackets when they are mounted.
[0004] The present invention provides the following technical solution: an electric water heater fixing device, comprising a water heater body, a wall-mounted bracket, and a quick-installation mechanism and a positioning mechanism disposed between the water heater body and the wall-mounted bracket. The quick-installation mechanism includes a hanging plate, a hanging groove, and a plug-in plate. The hanging plate partially covers the hanging groove, forming an engagement positioning part and a plug-in fixing part. The plug-in fixing part is located between the hanging plate and the bottom of the hanging groove. When the plug-in plate approaches and engages with the engagement positioning part, the water heater body is attached to the wall-mounted bracket. The relative movement of the water heater body and the wall-mounted bracket allows the plug-in plate to be inserted into the plug-in fixing part to lock the water heater body and the wall-mounted bracket. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning auxiliary inclined surface disposed on the side wall of the hanging groove, such that the opening area of the hanging groove is larger than the area of the bottom of the groove.
[0005] In the electric water heater fixing device described above, the positioning auxiliary inclined surfaces are disposed opposite to each other on the left and right sides of the fitting positioning part, and the positioning auxiliary inclined surfaces are inclined toward the bottom of the hanging groove.
[0006] As described above, the positioning mechanism of the electric water heater fixing device further includes narrowing slopes. The narrowing slopes are disposed opposite to each other on the left and right sides of the insertion fixing part, and the narrowing slopes gradually move closer to each other in the direction away from the fitting positioning part, so that the left and right sides of the insertion fixing part gradually narrow in the direction away from the fitting positioning part.
[0007] As described above, in an electric water heater fixing device, the positioning mechanism further includes an insertion arc surface located at the end of the insertion piece. When the insertion piece is inserted from the fitting positioning part to the insertion fixing part, the insertion arc surface continuously abuts against the narrowing slope.
[0008] As described above, in an electric water heater fixing device, the insertion arc surface is located on the upper side of the insertion piece, the lower side of the insertion piece is connected to the wall-mounted bracket, and the hanging groove is provided on the side of the water heater body near the wall-mounted bracket.
[0009] As described above, in an electric water heater fixing device, there are recessed grooves on the left and right sides of the hanging groove, and the opposite sides of the hanging piece are fixed to the recessed grooves, so that the side of the hanging piece close to the wall bracket is flush with the surface of the water heater body.
[0010] As described above, in an electric water heater fixing device, the wall-mounted bracket is elongated and has at least two plug-in pieces, and the water heater body has at least two sets of hanging pieces and hanging grooves.
[0011] As described above, in an electric water heater fixing device, the wall-mounted bracket and the plug-in piece are integrally formed sheet metal.
[0012] As described above, in an electric water heater mounting device, the water heater body has a protruding abutment flange extending in the height direction on one side near the wall support. When the water heater body is mounted on the wall support, the abutment flange abuts against the wall.
[0013] As described above, in an electric water heater fixing device, the lower side of the wall-mounted bracket is provided with a lower connecting part extending toward the water heater body, and the lower side of the water heater body is recessed with a lower connecting groove corresponding to the lower connecting part.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This utility model discloses a water heater fixing device with a quick-installation mechanism between the wall-mounted bracket and the water heater body. The quick-installation mechanism includes a hanging plate, a hanging groove, and a plug-in plate. The hanging plate divides the hanging groove into an engagement positioning part and a plug-in fixing part, allowing the plug-in plate to first engage with the hanging groove in the engagement positioning part and then be fixed to the plug-in fixing part through a movable plug-in, thus achieving quick locking between the wall-mounted bracket and the water heater body. Furthermore, a positioning mechanism is provided, including a positioning auxiliary inclined surface on the side wall of the hanging groove. The positioning auxiliary inclined surface allows the opening area of the hanging groove to be larger than the area of the bottom of the groove, thereby increasing the maximum alignment error range of the engagement positioning part for the plug-in plate. This makes it easier for the plug-in plate to be aligned and engaged with the engagement positioning part, significantly shortening the installation time of the water heater and saving the manpower and resources required for installation.

[0019] 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 a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. 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.
[0020] Example 1: Please refer to the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3This embodiment provides a water heater fixing device, including a water heater body 1, a wall-mounted bracket 2, and a quick-installation mechanism 3 and a positioning mechanism 4 disposed between the water heater body 1 and the wall-mounted bracket 2. The quick-installation mechanism 3 includes a hanging piece 31, a hanging groove 32, and a plug-in piece 33. The hanging piece 31 partially covers the hanging groove 32, so that the hanging groove 32 forms an engagement positioning part 321 and a plug-in fixing part 322. The plug-in fixing part 322 is located between the bottom of the hanging piece 31 and the hanging groove 32. When the plug-in piece 33 approaches and engages with the engagement positioning part 321, the water heater body 1 is attached to the wall-mounted bracket 2. The relative movement between the water heater body 1 and the wall-mounted bracket 2 allows the plug-in piece 33 to be inserted into the plug-in fixing part 322 to lock the water heater body 1 and the wall-mounted bracket 2. The positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning auxiliary inclined surface 41, which is disposed on the side wall of the hanging groove 32, so that the opening area of the hanging groove 32 is larger than the area of the bottom of the groove. In this embodiment, the electric water heater fixing device includes a quick-installation mechanism 3 between the wall-mounted bracket 2 and the water heater body 1. The quick-installation mechanism 3 includes a hanging piece 31, a hanging groove 32, and a plug-in piece 33. The hanging piece 31 divides the hanging groove 32 into a fitting positioning part 321 and a plug-in fixing part 322, so that the plug-in piece 33 can first fit into the hanging groove 32 in the fitting positioning part 321, and then be fixed to the plug-in fixing part 322 by a movable plug-in, thereby achieving quick locking between the wall-mounted bracket 2 and the water heater body 1. On this basis, a positioning mechanism 4 is further provided. The positioning mechanism 4 includes a positioning auxiliary inclined surface 41 provided on the side wall of the hanging groove 32. The positioning auxiliary inclined surface 41 can make the opening area of the hanging groove 32 larger than the area of the bottom of the groove, thereby increasing the maximum alignment error range of the fitting positioning part 321 for the plug-in piece 33, making it easier for the plug-in piece 33 to be aligned and fitted into the fitting positioning part 321, greatly shortening the installation time of the electric water heater and saving the manpower and material resources required for the installation of the electric water heater.
[0021] Preferably, the positioning auxiliary inclined surface 41 is disposed on the left and right sides of the fitting positioning part 321, and the positioning auxiliary inclined surface 41 is inclined toward the bottom of the hanging groove 32, which can increase the maximum alignment error range of the fitting positioning part 321 to the plug piece 33.
[0022] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism 4 also includes a narrowing slope 42, which is disposed opposite to the left and right sides of the insertion fixing part 322. The narrowing slope 42 gradually approaches each other in the direction away from the fitting positioning part 321, so that the left and right sides of the insertion fixing part 322 gradually narrow in the direction away from the fitting positioning part 321. After the insertion piece 33 is locked to the insertion fixing part 322, it can prevent the water heater body 1 from shaking between the wall support 2 under the abutment of the narrowing slope 42.
[0023] Preferably, the positioning mechanism 4 further includes an insertion arc surface 43 located at the end of the insertion piece 33. When the insertion piece 33 is inserted from the fitting positioning part 321 to the insertion fixing part 322, the insertion arc surface 43 continuously abuts against the receiving narrow slope 42. The insertion arc surface 43 further facilitates the alignment and insertion of the insertion piece 33 in the fitting positioning part 321, and the rounded transition also prevents the end of the insertion piece 33 from cutting the hand.
[0024] The insertion arc surface 43 is located on the upper side of the insertion piece 33, and the lower side 33 of the insertion piece 33 is connected to the wall bracket 2. The hanging groove 32 is provided on the side of the water heater body 1 near the wall bracket 2. After the water heater body 1 is attached to the wall bracket 2, the insertion piece 33 is inserted into the fitting and positioning part 321. Then, the water heater body 1 is naturally slid down so that the insertion piece 33 is inserted into the insertion fixing part 322, thus realizing the wall mounting of the water heater body 1.
[0025] Preferably, the hanging groove 32 has a recessed groove 323 on the left and right sides, and the opposite sides of the hanging piece 31 are fixed to the recessed groove 323, so that the side of the hanging piece 31 close to the wall bracket 2 is flush with the surface of the water heater body 1.
[0026] Preferably, the wall-mounted bracket 2 is elongated and has at least two plug-in pieces 33, and the water heater body 1 has at least two sets of hanging pieces 31 and hanging grooves 32.
[0027] Preferably, the wall support 2 and the plug-in piece 33 are integrally formed sheet metal.
[0028] Preferably, the water heater body 1 has a protruding abutment flange 11 extending in the height direction on the side near the wall support 2. When the water heater body 1 is mounted on the wall support 2, the abutment flange 11 abuts against the wall, which can further reduce the shaking of the water heater body 1.
[0029] The wall-mounted bracket 2 has a lower connecting part 21 extending towards the water heater body 1 on its lower side, and a lower connecting groove 12 corresponding to the lower connecting part 21 is recessed on the lower side of the water heater body 1. After the water heater body 1 is mounted, the lower connecting part 21 fits into the lower connecting groove 12, and the two can be fixed by screws.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
