[0047] like Figures 1-2 As shown, when the motor 1 is assembled and connected with the motor bracket 2, the base 12 of the motor 1 is first placed between two adjacent slots 22, and then the base 12 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise so that it is rotated and engaged with the slots 22, and the installation of the motor 1 is completed.

[0048] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the motor 1 includes a motor body 11 and a base 12 . The motor body 11 is cylindrical, and the base 12 is distributed on the outer surface of the motor body 11 along the circumferential direction.

[0049] Further, such as Figures 5 to 8As shown, the slot 22 has a front wall 221 and a rear wall 222 that are relatively parallel, and the front wall 221 and the rear wall 222 are not connected on one side near the center of the circle to form a clamping opening 226, one end of the clamping opening 226 is closed and connected by a limiting wall 223, and the other end is provided with a snap-in portion 225, and the snap-in portion 225 is an open structure connected to the clamping opening 226.

When snapped with the foot 12, the foot 12 can enter the slot 22 through the snap-in portion 225, and the foot 12 after installation is clamped and fixed by the clamping opening 226 and the limiting wall 223. Preferably, the slot 22 and the motor bracket 2 are integrally formed, and the rear wall 222 is formed by a partial area of ​​the motor bracket 2 .

[0050] Furthermore, the front wall 221 and the rear wall 222 are arranged in parallel with the main board body of the motor bracket 2 , and the front wall 221 and the rear wall 222 are arranged in parallel with the base 12 , so that the base 12 can be inserted into the slot 22 and tightly combined with the slot 22 .

[0051] Furthermore, the limiting wall 223 is arranged at the same end of each clamping opening 226 in a counterclockwise or clockwise direction, and correspondingly, the snap-in portion 225 is arranged at the other end of each clamping opening 226 in a counterclockwise or clockwise direction, so that the base foot 12 can be snapped into the slot 22 by rotating in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0052] It can be understood that, in the present application, the relative positions of the limiting wall 223 and the snap-in portion 225 determine the rotation direction of the motor 1 when it is installed in the slot 22. Figures 1 to 8 When the position is set as shown, the motor 1 needs to rotate in the counterclockwise direction ( Figure 2 The motor 1 needs to be rotated in the clockwise direction to be inserted into the slot 22 through the insertion portion 225.

[0053] Furthermore, a buckle structure 224 is provided in the snap-in portion 225 , and the buckle structure 224 can be snapped with the base foot 12 to limit the base foot 12 and prevent it from escaping from the slot 22 .

[0054] Specifically, Figure 4As shown, the foot 12 has a first side surface 121 and a second side surface 122 that are arranged opposite to each other, wherein when the observer faces the motor 1 and the motor bracket 2, the first side surface 121 is located in the counterclockwise direction of the second side surface 122. When the motor 1 is assembled and connected with the motor bracket 2, the foot 12 of the motor 1 is first placed between two adjacent slots 22, and then the motor 1 is rotated so that the foot 12 can be inserted into the slot 22 through the insertion portion 225, and then the motor 1 is continuously rotated until the foot 12 contacts the limiting wall 223, at which point the first side surface 121 of the foot 12 is in contact with the limiting wall 223, and the second side surface 122 of the foot 12 is limited and fixed by the buckle structure 224 in the insertion portion 225.

[0055] As some embodiments of the present application, the buckle structure 224 includes the rear wall 222 and a protrusion arranged on the front wall 221, the protrusion on the front wall 221 extends from the front wall 221 to the rear wall 222, and there is a gap between the protrusion on the front wall 221 and the rear wall 222 for the foot 12 to enter; or the buckle structure 224 includes the front wall 221 and a protrusion arranged on the rear wall 222, the protrusion on the rear wall 222 extends from the rear wall 222 to the front wall 221 The protrusion on the rear wall 222 extends from the front wall 221 to the rear wall 222, and there is a gap between the protrusion on the rear wall 222 and the front wall 221 for the foot 12 to enter; or the buckle structure 224 includes protrusions respectively arranged on the front wall 221 and the rear wall 222, the protrusion on the front wall 221 extends from the rear wall 222 to the front wall 221, and there is a gap between the protrusion on the front wall 221 and the protrusion on the rear wall 222 for the foot 12 to enter. The buckle structure 224 is arranged so that after the foot 12 and the slot 22 are rotated and engaged, the first side surface 121 of the foot 12 can be closely fitted with the limiting wall 223, and the second side surface 122 of the foot 12 can be closely contacted with the buckle structure 224, and the foot 12 is finally limited by the buckle structure 224, and is not easy to shake or fall out of the slot 22.

[0056] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the thickness of the foot 12 along the axial direction of the motor 1 is recorded as D2.
