Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water heater accessories, specifically a wall-mounted bracket for a water heater. Background Technology

[0002] A wall-mounted water heater bracket is a device specifically designed for mounting water heaters. It secures the water heater to the wall, providing stable support. The bracket's design takes into account the water heater's weight, size, and the type of wall surface to ensure a safe and secure mounting. Wall-mounted brackets are typically made of sturdy materials, such as stainless steel, to bear the weight of the water heater and ensure its stability.

[0003] Water heaters are typically large and heavy. Wall-mounted brackets securely fix the water heater to the wall, preventing it from shaking or tipping over during use and ensuring stability. The installation of wall-mounted brackets effectively prevents the water heater from falling due to instability, thus avoiding potential property damage and personal injury, and improving home safety. The reinforcing role of the bracket is particularly important when installing water heaters on hollow walls or foam brick walls. By distributing the weight of the water heater, the wall-mounted bracket reduces pressure on the wall, preventing cracks or damage caused by prolonged heavy loads. Simultaneously, the bracket's fixing function prevents the water heater from squeezing or pulling on the wall during thermal expansion and contraction, further protecting the wall structure. In summary, wall-mounted brackets for water heaters play a vital role in providing stability, enhancing safety, protecting walls, and facilitating installation and maintenance. During the installation of a water heater, it needs to be suspended and supported by a wall-mounted bracket. However, the wall-mounted bracket needs to be fixed to the wall through an assembly structure. The water heater itself is relatively heavy, and the wall-mounted bracket is usually installed at a high position. Therefore, when it is necessary to assemble the water heater with the wall-mounted bracket, it is not convenient to quickly suspend and assemble the water heater with the wall-mounted bracket. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, the present invention aims to provide a wall-mounted bracket for a water heater, which offers the advantage of quick assembly and fixation of the water heater. This solves the problem that during water heater installation, the water heater needs to be suspended and supported by the wall-mounted bracket, but the bracket needs to be fixed to the wall via an assembly structure. Since the water heater itself is relatively heavy and the bracket is usually installed at a high position, it is not convenient to quickly suspend and assemble the water heater with the bracket.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wall-mounted bracket for a water heater, comprising a back plate, a storage tank, and a water heater. The storage tank is located on the front side of the back plate and is fixedly connected to the front side of the back plate. The water heater is located at the bottom of the front side of the storage tank. A suspension mechanism for use with the water heater is provided on the rear side of the water heater. A lifting mechanism for use with the suspension mechanism is provided in the inner cavity of the storage tank. Connection mechanisms for use with the suspension mechanism are provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the storage tank.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the suspension mechanism includes a horizontal plate, a plug-in block, and a connecting block. The connecting block is located on the rear side of the water heater and is fixedly connected to the rear side of the water heater. The plug-in block is located at the bottom of the connecting block and is plugged into and fitted into the inner cavity of the connecting block. The horizontal plate is located on the rear side of the plug-in block and is fixedly connected to the rear side of the plug-in block.

The output end of the bottom of the telescopic motor passes through the inner wall of the storage box and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage box. The movable block is located at the bottom of the storage box. The left and right sides of the top of the movable block are fixedly connected to the output end of the bottom of the telescopic motor. The front side of the movable block is fixedly connected to the rear side of the horizontal plate.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connecting mechanism includes a fixed frame, a vertical rod, and a slider.

The inner cavity of the slider is slidably connected to the surface of the vertical rod. The side of the slider near the moving block is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving block.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a synchronous controller is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing block, and the synchronous controller is electrically connected to the telescopic motors on both sides respectively.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, power modules are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the storage box, and the power modules are electrically connected to the synchronous controller and the telescopic motor through connecting lines.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the storage box is provided with heat dissipation holes on both the left and right sides, and the number of heat dissipation holes is multiple and evenly distributed on the left and right sides of the storage box.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model solves the problem of water heater installation by using a back plate, storage box, water heater, suspension mechanism, lifting mechanism and connecting mechanism in cooperation. The water heater needs to be suspended and supported by a wall-mounted bracket, but the wall-mounted bracket needs to be fixed to the wall by an assembly structure. The water heater itself is heavy and the wall-mounted bracket is usually installed at a high place. Therefore, it is not convenient to quickly suspend and assemble the water heater with the wall-mounted bracket. This invention achieves the effect of quickly assembling and fixing the water heater.

[0025] Specifically, the suspension mechanism 4 provides stable support for the water heater 3, preventing situations where the water heater 3 cannot be stably supported quickly.

[0026] Furthermore, the water heater 3 is connected to the horizontal plate 401. During the connection process, the connecting block 403 and the plug-in block 402 need to be plugged in and fitted together, so as to achieve the effect of suspending and supporting the water heater 3. Example

[0027] In the third embodiment of this utility model, the lifting mechanism 5 includes a fixed block 501, two telescopic motors 502, and a moving block 503. The fixed block 501 is located in the inner cavity of the storage box 2 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage box 2.

[0030] The water heater 3 is connected to the horizontal plate 401. During the connection process, the connecting block 403 and the plug-in block 402 need to be plugged in and fit together to achieve the effect of suspending and supporting the water heater 3. The telescopic motors 502 on both sides are started by the synchronous controller 7. The telescopic motors 502 will drive the moving block 503 to move through their output end. During the movement, the moving block 503 will ensure its movement stability through the cooperation of the slider 603 and the vertical rod 602, and at the same time drive the horizontal plate 401 to move. During the movement, the horizontal plate 401 will drive the water heater 3 to rise and fall, thereby achieving the effect of quickly suspending and installing the water heater 3. During use, the synchronous controller 7 and the telescopic motor 502 will be cooled through the heat dissipation holes 9.
