AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, plastic hoses lack effective radial support at bends, making them prone to collapse. Furthermore, their fixing methods are inflexible and difficult to adapt to different installation conditions, resulting in reduced flow rate, increased energy consumption, and unsightly installation.
An integrated adjustable plastic hose support and positioning device is adopted, including clamps, support bases and fixing plates. A stable external frame is constructed through support rods and swing rods. Combined with the sliding cooperation of guide rails and sliders, precise angle and height adjustment can be achieved. The clamp's pressure ring and support ring cooperate to provide uniform fastening.
This ensures smooth bending of the hose at bends, prevents collapse, maintains a stable flow cross-section, reduces pressure loss, extends service life, and improves the adaptability and aesthetics of the installation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline support technology, specifically a plastic hose support and positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible hoses, especially those for water supply and drainage, ventilation, and industrial fluid transport, are widely used in construction, home use, agricultural irrigation, and industrial production due to their good flexibility, ease of installation, and relatively low cost. However, while the flexibility of hoses brings convenience, it also presents challenges in fixing and supporting them, especially at bends or turns where the pipeline needs to change direction.
[0003] In existing technologies, for flexible hoses, especially those over long distances or requiring specific routing, common fixing methods often involve simply binding them with straps, cable ties, or universal pipe clamps to supports, walls, or other fixed objects. These methods have the following significant drawbacks: Inability to provide effective and precise radial support can easily lead to hose collapse: At bends, the hose is prone to collapse and flattening on the inside of the bend due to the pressure of the internal fluid or gas and its own gravity. This folding not only significantly increases fluid resistance, leading to reduced flow rate and increased energy consumption, but may also generate eddies, vibrations, and noise due to sudden changes in the flow cross-section. Long-term or repeated folding can also cause localized stress concentration in the hose, accelerating fatigue aging and increasing the risk of cracks or even rupture.
[0004] Lacking flexible angle and height adjustment capabilities, the existing support devices suffer from poor installation adaptability: traditional fixed points often have fixed positions and angles. When on-site installation conditions change, or when pipeline routing needs to be adjusted, existing support devices struggle to make quick and continuous fine-tuning of angle and height. Construction workers often resort to non-standard methods such as using pads or forced bending to achieve a compromise, which further exacerbates the risk of uneven stress and brittleness on the hoses, and also affects the aesthetics and standardization of the installation. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model addresses the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a plastic hose support and positioning device. Through an integrated and adjustable mechanical structure, it achieves "active shape retention and positioning support" for plastic hoses (especially at bends), rather than simply "passive binding." This results in comprehensive and excellent technical effects in multiple aspects, including preventing bending and pressure, ensuring flow rate, facilitating adjustment, protecting the hose body, and ensuring stable fixation. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A plastic hose support and positioning device includes a clamp, a support base, and a fixing plate. The support base includes a slider connected to the fixing plate. A support rod is connected to one side of the slider, and a rotatable rocker arm is connected to one end of the support rod. Both the support rod and the rocker arm are provided with clamps. The clamps include a support ring connected to the support rod or the rocker arm, and a pressure ring is connected above the support ring. The support ring and the pressure ring cooperate to fix the plastic hose.
[0006] Preferably, the fixing plate is provided with fixing holes. Preferably, the side wall of the fixing plate is provided with a first positioning hole and two guide rails with open top ends, the slider is located between the two guide rails, and the side wall of the slider is provided with a sliding groove that cooperates with the guide rails and a first positioning bolt that cooperates with the first positioning hole.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the slider is connected to a support block, the upper end of the support block is provided with a positioning plate, the positioning plate is evenly provided with second positioning holes, the support rod is connected to the upper end of the positioning plate, the swing rod is connected to the positioning plate through a rotating shaft, and a second positioning bolt that mates with the second positioning hole is connected to the swing rod. Preferably, one end of the support ring is provided with a guide hole with an upper opening, and the bottom of the guide hole is provided with a bolt hole. One side of the pressure ring is connected to a guide post that mates with the guide hole, and a clamping bolt that mates with the bolt hole passes through the guide post.
[0008] Preferably, both the support ring and the pressure ring have anti-slip pads on their inner walls.
[0009] Preferably, the two clamps are set at the same height.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model constructs a stable and customizable "external skeleton" at the bend of the hose using a support rod and an adjustable-angle swing rod. Two clamps precisely define the start and end points of the hose bend, forcing the hose to form a smooth, uniform curved arc, rather than a random deformation that could result in sharp bends. This eliminates the possibility of the hose collapsing or denting on the inside of the bend due to lack of support, ensuring the stability of the flow cross-section, thereby guaranteeing the designed flow rate, reducing pressure loss and energy consumption, and extending the service life of the hose at this critical location.
[0011] 2. This utility model, through the sliding cooperation of the guide rail and slider on the fixed plate, allows for easy vertical adjustment of the entire support base, quickly adapting to installation points at different heights on the wall. The swing arm rotates relative to the support rod via a pivot, enabling precise angle fixing within a certain range. This not only meets the needs of different turning angles but, more importantly, ensures that the relative position of the two clamps is firmly locked after adjustment, fixing the turning angle of the hose and preventing it from changing due to external forces or vibrations during operation, thus ensuring reliable use.
[0012] 3. The clamp's pressure ring engages with the guide hole on the support ring via a guide post. During clamping, it can only move vertically and cannot rotate, ensuring that the clamping force is vertically downward and evenly distributed. The head of the clamping bolt presses down on the guide post, driving the pressure ring to move parallel to the support ring. This "downward pressing" fastening method is easier to operate than the traditional "lateral compression" bolt, and the clamping force distribution is more symmetrical and stable. The anti-slip pads (such as rubber pads) on the inner walls of the support ring and pressure ring increase the static friction with the hose surface through flexible contact, preventing the hose from sliding or twisting axially after fixing. On the other hand, this flexible layer acts as a buffer, dispersing the concentrated stress on the hose from the rigid body of the clamp, avoiding mechanical damage such as indentations and cuts, which is especially suitable for soft plastic hoses.
[0013] 4. The height positioning of the slider on the fixed plate and the angle positioning of the swing arm on the positioning plate form two independent and stable locking points, ensuring that the support structure will not slip or shift angle when bearing the weight of the hose and its internal medium, and has good vibration resistance.
[0014] 5. The device can be pre-adjusted in height and angle before installation, and then fixed to the wall in one go through the bolt holes on the fixing plate. The clamp's pressure ring is detachable, making pipe insertion extremely convenient. This greatly simplifies the installation process at heights or in confined spaces, improving construction efficiency and safety. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0016] 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.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, a plastic hose support and positioning device includes a clamp 1, a support base 2, and a fixing plate 3. The fixing plate 3 has a rectangular plate structure and is mainly connected to a wall or other structure for fixed support. Figure 3 As shown, the support base 2 includes a slider 201 connected to the fixed plate 3. The slider 201 can slide up and down to adjust its height as needed. A support rod 209 is connected to one side of the slider 201, and a rotatable rocker arm 207 is connected to one end of the support rod 209. The angle between the rocker arm 207 and the support rod 209 can be adjusted by the rocker arm 207. The lengths of the support rod 209 and the rocker arm 207 can be the same or different. Both ends (non-stepped ends) of the support rod 209 and the rocker arm 207 are equipped with clamps 1. The two clamps 1 are set at the same height to prevent the pipe from bending and to make fixing easier. The clamp 1 includes a support ring 101 connected to the support rod 209 or the rocker arm 207. A pressure ring 106 is connected above the support ring 101. The pressure ring 106 is detachable. The support ring 101 and the pressure ring 106 cooperate to fix the plastic hose.
[0018] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the fixing plate 3 are provided with fixing holes 303, which are fixed by bolts. The side wall of the fixing plate 3 is provided with a first positioning hole 301 and two guide rails 302 with open top ends. The slider 201 is located between the two guide rails 302. The side wall of the slider 201 is provided with a sliding groove 202 that cooperates with the guide rail 302 and a first positioning bolt 203 that cooperates with the first positioning hole 301. The slider 201 slides along the guide rail 302. The height of the slider 201 can be fixed by the first positioning bolt 203.
[0019] The bottom of the slider 201 is connected to a support block 204, and the upper end of the support block 204 is provided with a positioning plate 205. The positioning plate 205 is evenly provided with second positioning holes 206. The support rod 209 is connected to the upper end of the positioning plate 205 and is fixed. The swing rod 207 is connected to the positioning plate 205 through a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through the end of the support rod 209. The swing rod 207 is connected with a second positioning bolt 208 that mates with the second positioning hole 206, which can fix the swing rod 207 at different angles. like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the support ring 101 is provided with a guide hole 102 with an open top. The guide hole 102 is not a round hole, such as a square hole. The bottom of the guide hole 102 is provided with a bolt hole 103. One side of the pressure ring 106 is connected to a guide post 104 that mates with the guide hole 102. The guide post 104 guides the pressure ring 106 vertically to prevent rotation and ensure the reliability of the clamping. A clamping bolt 105 that mates with the bolt hole 103 passes through the guide post 104. After the lower end of the clamping bolt 105 mates with the bolt hole 103, the clamping bolt 105 is rotated downwards. The head of the clamping bolt 105 presses down on the guide post 104, causing the pressure ring 106 to move closer to the support ring 101 to clamp and fix the plastic hose and position it to ensure that the bending angle remains unchanged.
[0020] Both the inner walls of the support ring 101 and the pressure ring 106 are equipped with anti-slip pads, such as adhesive rubber pads, which can increase friction while reducing damage to the pipe sidewalls.
[0021] like Figure 5 The steps for using the device are briefly explained below: Wall fixing: The fixing plate 3 is installed on the wall or supporting base with bolts through the fixing holes 303 at its upper and lower ends.
[0022] Adjusting the support height: Align the groove 202 of the slider 201 with the guide rail 302 on the fixing plate 3 and insert it. Slide the slider 201 up and down to the desired height, and then tighten the first positioning bolt 203 on the slider 201 so that it is inserted into the corresponding first positioning hole 301 on the side wall of the fixing plate 3, locking the slider 201 at that height.
[0023] Setting the support angle: Based on the required turning direction of the hose, rotate the swing arm 207 to form the target angle between it and the support rod 209. Then, screw the second positioning bolt 208 on the swing arm 207 into the corresponding second positioning hole 206 on the lower positioning plate 205 to lock the angle of the swing arm 207.
[0024] Install the hose: Remove the clamping ring 106 (on the side with guide post 104) of the clamp 1 at the end of the support rod 209 and the swing rod 207 upwards, or loosen the clamping bolt 105 and lift it up. Insert the plastic hose into the two support rings 101 according to the preset direction.
[0025] Secure the hose: Align the guide posts 104 of the two clamping rings 106 vertically with the guide holes 102 on their respective support rings 101 and lower them to ensure the clamping rings 106 are in place. Insert the clamping bolts 105 into the guide posts 104 on both sides in sequence and screw them downwards. The heads of the clamping bolts 105 will press down on the guide posts 104, driving the clamping rings 106 to smoothly approach the support rings 101 until the internal hose is evenly and firmly clamped between the support rings 101 and the clamping rings 106 (the inner anti-slip pads contact the hose body).
[0026] Final inspection: Check that all bolts (first positioning bolt 203, second positioning bolt 208, and clamping bolt 105) are tightened. Confirm that the hose transitions smoothly at bends without kinking or abnormal stress; installation is now complete.
[0027] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
