EXAMPLES

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the hanging bracket includes a bracket body 1 and a hook 2, the bracket body 1 being bent at some positions to one side to form some of the hooks 2; A plurality of mounting holes 3 are opened in the bracket body 1, and the mounting holes 3 include a mounting hole 3 for detachably fixing the bracket body 1 to the outside by a bolt.

[0023] The hanging bracket of this solution is applied to a heater 5, and the hanging bracket can be used to fix the heater 5 to a wall or other external structure, providing an alternative fixing method for the heater 5, the structure of the hanging bracket is simple, and the heater 5 can be firmly fixed to the external structure.

[0024] In this embodiment, the bracket body 1 is in the form of a sheet, and is usually made of a metal material with high strength, so that the weight of the heater 5 when fixed is not too large. The hooks 2 are directly pressed into the bracket body 1, that is, the two are integrally molded, and are strong. The hooks 2 are pressed into the bracket body 1 at multiple positions, and the metal edge pressed into the bracket body 1 is bent to one side to form multiple hooks 2. During actual production, at least two hooks 2 are usually pressed, and the positions of the two hooks 2 are spaced apart from each other to make the fixing effect of the heater 5 more stable. A bolt is provided in the mounting hole 3 of the bracket body 1, and generally, mounting holes 3 are provided on both sides of the bracket body 1, and the bolt is fixed to the wall or other external structure through the mounting hole 3, and then the heater 5 and the hanging bracket are fixed.

[0025] Of course, in other embodiments, three or four hooks 2 can be pressed onto the bracket body 1 with a space between each hook 2 to meet the needs of fixing the heater 5.

[0026] Furthermore, the bracket body 1 includes a first end 11, a middle portion 12 and a second end 13 which are connected to each other, and the central portions of the first end 11 and the second end 13 are bent to the same side to form the two hooks 2.

[0027] The length of the middle part 12 located in the middle of the bracket body 1 is relatively long, and the projection of the middle part 12 is approximately rectangular, but the first end 11 and the second end 13 are approximately square, and two hooks 2 are pressed at the center positions of the first end 11 and the second end 13, making the structure more stable. The centers of the first end 11 and the second end 13 do not mean completely central positions, and allow for misalignment, that is, the hooks 2 are press-formed inside the first end 11 and the second end 13. Of course, in other embodiments, the hooks 2 can be press-formed at the outermost edges of the first end 11 and the second end 13.

[0028] Furthermore, the hook 2 includes a first connecting arm 21 and a second connecting arm 22, and the bracket body 1 is bent to one side to form the first connecting arm 21, and the tip of the first connecting arm 21 extends vertically upward to form the second connecting arm 22.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2, the hook 2 is used to fix the heater 5, the first connecting arm 21 and the second connecting arm 22 are perpendicular to each other, and the second connecting arm 22 is used to limit the position of the heater 5 and / or its auxiliary fixing structure, preventing the heater 5 and / or its auxiliary fixing structure from coming off, and allowing the heater 5 and / or its auxiliary fixing structure to be stably hooked onto the first connecting arm 21, resulting in a high fixing effect.

[0030] Furthermore, the bent portion 14 of the bracket main body 1 and the first connecting arm 21 transitions to form an arc shape, a recess 141 is provided in the center of the bent portion 14, and a reinforcing rib 142 is provided on the rear side of the recess 141, with one side of the reinforcing rib 142 connected to the first connecting arm 21 and the other side of the reinforcing rib 142 connected to the bracket main body 1.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the connection surface between the bracket body 1 and the first connecting arm 21 is a bent portion 14, and the press-formed bent portion 14 has an arc shape. Since the heater 5 and / or its auxiliary fixing structure have a certain weight, this weight is mainly supported by the hook 2. In order to increase the strength of the first connecting arm 21 of the hook 2, the central portion of the bent portion 14 is recessed inward to form a recess 141, and the recess 141 continues to extend rearward to form a reinforcing rib 142. The planar projection of the reinforcing rib 142 is triangular, and one side of the reinforcing rib 142 is bonded and connected to the bracket body 1, and the other side is bonded and connected to the first connecting arm 21, thereby providing a high reinforcing effect.

[0032] Moreover, the thickness of the reinforcing rib 142 gradually decreases from one end close to the bent portion 14 to the other end away from the bent portion 14, which not only provides reinforcement but also saves more raw material.

[0033] Furthermore, the width of the tip of the second connecting arm 22 gradually decreases from bottom to top. When mounting, the bracket body 1 of the present solution is first fixed to a wall or other external structure, and then the heater 5 and / or its auxiliary fixing structure are hung on the hook 2. In order to hang the heater 5 and / or its auxiliary fixing structure more smoothly, the width of the tip (i.e., the upper end) of the first connecting arm 21 is gradually reduced, so that the hook 2 can pass through the fixing hole 41 of the heater 5 and / or its auxiliary fixing structure more easily.

[0034] Furthermore, a first machining groove 15 is formed by recessing downward above the connection point between the intermediate portion 12 and the first end 11 and the second end 13, and a second machining groove 16 is formed by recessing upward below the connection point between the intermediate portion 12 and the first end 11 and the second end 13.

[0035] A machining groove is provided at each of the four corners of the middle portion 12, with the first machining groove 15 located at the top and the second machining groove 16 located at the bottom. The provision of the first machining groove 15 and the second machining groove 16 is necessary for the sheet metal processing. When the bracket body 1 is processed, the bracket body 1 can be fixed by the first machining groove 15 and the second machining groove 16.

[0036] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the middle part 12 are bent in the same direction to form a bent part 121, and the bending direction of the bent part 121 is the same as the bending direction of the hook 2. The upper and lower ends of the middle part 12 are both bent in one direction to form a bent part 121, and the bent part 121 also serves a reinforcing function, increasing the strength of the entire bracket body 1 and ensuring stable fixing of the heater 5. In this solution, the bent part 121 and the hook 2 are bent in the same direction, and the rear side of the bracket body 1 can be closely attached to a wall surface or other external structure, making the connection more stable.

[0037] Furthermore, the four mounting holes 3 are provided at the four corners of the bracket body 1. The mounting holes 3 are provided at the first end 11 and the second end 13, and are located on one side close to the outside of the first end 11 and the second end 13, and the mounting holes 3 are located far apart, which improves the fixing effect between the bracket body 1 and the wall or other external structure, and the first end 11 and the second end 13 each have two mounting holes 3, and the four mounting holes 3 can firmly fix the hanging bracket and heater 5 and other structures in this solution.

[0038] Of course, in other embodiments, the intermediate portion 12 may further include mounting holes 3 for reinforcing a fixed relationship with a wall or other exterior structure.

[0039] In addition, the present invention further provides a heater 5, comprising a mounting frame 4 and any one of the hanging brackets described above, the mounting frame 4 is detachably connected to the back side of the heater 5 by a number of first bolts 6, and the mounting frame 4 is provided with several fixing holes 41, the hooks 2 protrude outward from the mounting frame 4 through the fixing holes 41, and the inner diameter of the ends of the fixing holes 41 gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0040] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the rear side of the heater 5 is fixed to the mounting frame 4 by the first bolt 6 (which may be a butterfly screw that is easy for the user to twist when specifically installing), and the mounting frame 4 is provided with several fixing holes 41 corresponding to the hooks 2, the hooks 2 pass through the fixing holes 41, and the second connecting arm 22 protrudes from the fixing holes 41 to one side of the mounting frame 4 close to the heater 5, and acts as a stopper for the mounting frame 4. After the bracket body 1 and the mounting frame 4 are fixed, the first connecting arm 21 of the hook 2 is located at the tip of the fixing hole 41, and the inner diameter of the fixing hole 41 is usually larger than the thickness of the first connecting arm 21 but smaller than the dimension of the bottom end of the fixing hole 41, which prevents the hanging bracket and the mounting frame 4 from shaking excessively after hanging, and ensures the installation stability of the heater 5.

[0041] Furthermore, a base 7 is detachably connected to the lower end of the heater 5 by a plurality of second bolts 8, and the base 7 is used to place the heater 5 on the floor. The heater 5 of this solution can be fixed to a wall or other external structure by a hanging bracket, and further includes a base 7 (landing leg), and the lower end of the heater 5 is fixed to the base 7 by second bolts 8 (which may be butterfly screws that are easy for the user to twist), providing another fixing method for the heater 5, and allowing the heater 5 to be both wall-mounted and floor-standing.

[0042] The above is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the patent claims of the present invention. The conversion of equivalent structures using the contents of the description and accompanying drawings of the present invention under the inventive concept of the present invention, or the direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, are all included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
