Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of air conditioner technology, specifically relating to a motor mounting structure, a motor assembly, and an air conditioner having the same. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the traditional wall-mounted air conditioning industry, indoor units of split wall-mounted air conditioners use different types of motors for various applications. As a result, different types of motor pressure plates need to be developed to fix different types of motors. From a cost perspective, each different model requires a corresponding motor pressure plate, which greatly increases the development cost.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a motor mounting structure, motor assembly, and air conditioner with the same structure that can improve the versatility of motor mounting structures has become an urgent problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a motor mounting structure, a motor assembly, and an air conditioner having the same, which can improve the versatility of the motor mounting structure.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a motor mounting structure, including a body with a receiving space, an installation space within the receiving space, and a motor capable of being installed within the installation space; an adjustment structure is provided within the receiving space, which can move within the receiving space to adjust the size of the installation space, thereby enabling the installation space to be matched with motors of different sizes.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner wall of the accommodating space includes a first end face, a side wall face, and a second end face. The adjustment structure is movably disposed on the side wall face, and an installation space is formed between the adjustment structure and the second end face. When the motor is installed in the installation space, the end face of the motor abuts against the adjustment structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the motor mounting structure also includes an elastic structure, which is disposed between the adjusting structure and the first end face. When the motor is installed in the mounting space, the elastic structure can generate elastic force on the adjusting structure so that the end face of the motor abuts against the adjusting structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic structure has a free state and a compressed state; when the adjusting structure is in the initial position, the elastic structure is in the free state; when the motor is installed in the installation space, the adjusting structure moves to the corresponding position so that the installation space can match motors of different sizes; and the adjusting structure compresses the elastic structure during the movement so that the elastic structure is in the compressed state, thereby causing the elastic structure to generate elastic force on the adjusting structure.

[0009] Furthermore, a guide rail is provided on the side wall, and a guide structure is provided on the adjustment structure. The guide structure can move on the guide rail to drive the adjustment structure to move within the accommodating space.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of guide rails is set to at least one; when the number of guide rails is set to two or more, the two or more guide rails are arranged sequentially in the circumferential direction of the side wall; the number and position of the guide rails correspond to those of the guiding structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide rail includes a guide groove; the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide groove increases sequentially towards the bottom of the guide groove; the guide structure corresponds to the shape and size of the guide groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the sidewall of the guide channel and the bottom of the guide channel are set at an angle of 30°-60°.

[0013] According to another aspect of this application, a motor assembly is provided, including a motor mounting structure and a motor, wherein the motor mounting structure is the motor mounting structure described above.

[0014] According to another aspect of this application, an air conditioner is provided, including a motor assembly, which is the motor assembly described above.

[0015] The motor mounting structure, motor assembly, and air conditioner provided in this application allow for adjustment of the size of the mounting space by adjusting the structure's movement within the accommodating space. This enables the mounting space to be matched with motors of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the motor mounting structure. Attached Figure Description

[0026] See also Figure 1-8 As shown, a motor mounting structure includes a body 1 with a receiving space and an installation space within the receiving space, where a motor 3 can be installed. An adjustment structure 2 is provided within the receiving space, which can move to adjust the size of the installation space, thereby allowing the installation space to match motors 3 of different sizes. This application improves the versatility of the motor mounting structure by adjusting the size of the installation space through the movement of the adjustment structure 2 within the receiving space, thus enabling the installation space to match motors 3 of different sizes. The motor mounting structure of this application is a motor pressure plate, which can increase the scope of application of the motor mounting structure, reduce the cost of developing molds for different models, and thus achieve cost reduction. It also achieves multi-purpose functionality (one motor mounting structure can install motors 3 of different sizes), and the addition of the adjustment structure 2 reduces the development frequency of the motor mounting structure, reducing development time and thus achieving efficiency improvement. The adjustment structure 2 can slide within the receiving space to adjust the size of the installation space, thereby enabling the installation space to match motors 3 of different sizes. The movement can be sliding, flipping, or other types of movement. For example, the adjustment structure 2 is a flip-up flap that can be moved by flipping within the receiving cavity. Flipping forward once moves it a certain distance forward, and flipping backward once moves it a certain distance backward.

[0027] This application also discloses some embodiments. The inner wall of the accommodating space includes a first end face 113, a side wall face 115, and a second end face 114. The adjusting structure 2 is movably disposed on the side wall face 115, and an installation space is formed between the adjusting structure 2 and the second end face 114. When the motor 3 is installed in the installation space, the end face of the motor 3 abuts against the adjusting structure 2. That is, the adjusting structure 2 can generate abutting force on the end face of the motor 3. The end face of the motor 3 mentioned in this application refers to the end faces of the two ends of the motor 3 along its axial direction. The adjusting structure 2 in this application can be an adjusting plate. The adjusting plate can move during the pushing and pulling process, that is, form a push-pull motor pressure plate. The adjusting plate can divide the accommodating space into an adjusting space and an installation space. During the movement, the adjusting plate can adjust the size of the installation space. That is, when the installation space increases, the size of the adjusting space decreases. This application is applicable to the functions of different models of motor 3, thereby achieving the purpose of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0028] This application also discloses some embodiments. The motor mounting structure further includes an elastic structure 4, which is disposed between the adjusting structure 2 and the first end face 113. When the motor 3 is installed in the mounting space, the elastic structure 4 can generate a spring force on the adjusting structure 2, so that the end face of the motor 3 abuts against the adjusting structure 2. That is, the spring force generates a spring force on the adjusting structure 2, so that the adjusting structure 2 forms an abutment force on the end face of the motor 3. A spring fixing structure 112 is provided on the first end face 113 to fix the spring structure.

[0029] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the elastic structure 4 has a free state and a compressed state. When the adjusting structure 2 is in the initial position, the elastic structure 4 is in the free state. When the motor 3 is installed in the installation space, the adjusting structure 2 moves to the corresponding position so that the installation space can match motors 3 of different sizes. During the movement, the adjusting structure 2 compresses the elastic structure 4, so that the elastic structure 4 is in the compressed state, thereby causing the elastic structure 4 to generate elastic force on the adjusting structure 2. Through the adjusting structure 2 and the elastic structure 4, when the adjusting structure 2 is at its innermost position, the installation space can be maximized, allowing the longest motor 3 to be installed. When the adjusting structure 2 is at its outermost position, the installation space can be minimized, allowing the shortest motor 3 to be installed. In fact, the length of the installation space for assembling the motor 3 is limited by the structure of the elastic structure 4 and the adjusting structure 2, thus making it suitable for motors 3 of different lengths. The elastic structure 4 includes a spring. One end of the spring is connected to the first end face 113, and the other end of the spring is connected to the adjusting structure 2. The adjusting structure 2 has an annular spring groove 22, and a protrusion is formed between the annular spring grooves 22, i.e., on the inner circumference of the annular ring, and the spring can be sleeved on the protrusion; a spring groove 22 is formed on the first end face 113, and the spring can be locked in the spring groove 22. The elastic structure 4 can be set as one or at least two. When the elastic structure 4 is set as at least two, the at least two elastic structures 4 are evenly arranged.

[0030] This application also discloses some embodiments. A guide rail 111 is provided on the side wall 115, and a guide structure 21 is provided on the adjustment structure 2. The guide structure 21 can move on the guide rail 111 to drive the adjustment structure 2 to move within the accommodating space. The indoor unit motor pressure plate of this application adopts a controllable push-pull type motor pressure plate, which is suitable for fixing different models of motors 3. By adding an adjustment structure 2 within the accommodating space, different models of motors 3 can be precisely fixed by the elastic force of the elastic structure 4 and the guide rail 111. The two ends of the spring are fixed to the main body of the motor pressure plate and the groove of the adjustment structure 2. The adjustment structure 2 is inserted into the end of the guide rail 111 of the adjustment structure 2. Through the spring, the adjustment structure 2 can be locked onto any motor rubber ring 31 on the guide rail 111. The purpose of fixing the motor 3 is achieved by the cooperation between the adjustment structure 2 and the motor rubber ring 31 and by adjusting the number of springs or the spring elastic coefficient. The guide rail 111 can be a groove, and the guide structure 21 can be a guide block, which moves within the groove. Alternatively, two strip-shaped protrusions can form a guide rail 111, with the guide rail 111 formed between the two strip-shaped protrusions. The guide structure 21 can be a ball bearing or similar material, capable of moving between the two strip-shaped protrusions to drive the adjustment structure 2. If the cross-section of the installation space is semi-circular, the adjustment structure 2 can be a semi-circular adjustment plate, with the shape of the adjustment plate matching that of the side wall 115. The guide rails 111 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the side wall 115. The guide rail 111 can also be a guide hole, and the guide structure 21 can be a guide block.

[0031] An inlet is provided on the guide rail 111, through which the guide structure 21 can enter the guide rail 111. For example, if the guide rail 111 is a guide bar, a notch is provided on the guide bar to form an inlet. If the guide rail 111 is a guide groove, a larger inlet groove is opened at the position of the guide groove. The inlet groove connects to the guide groove, thereby forming an inlet. The inlet can be set at any position on the guide rail 111, but it is better to set it at the end. The end refers to the position where the adjustment structure 2 is located when the elasticity is in a free state.

[0032] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the number of guide rails 111 is set to at least one; when the number of guide rails 111 is set to two or more, the two or more guide rails 111 are arranged sequentially in the circumferential direction of the side wall surface 115; the number and position of the guide rails 111 correspond to those of the guide structure 21. This makes the adjustment structure 2 more stable during the operation.

[0033] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the guide rail 111 includes a guide groove; the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide groove increases sequentially towards the bottom of the guide groove; the guide structure 21 corresponds to the shape and size of the guide groove. This can prevent the guide structure 21 from detaching from the guide groove, so that the adjustment structure 2 can move more stably within the guide groove.

[0034] This application also discloses some embodiments in which the sidewall of the guide groove and the bottom of the guide groove are set at an angle of 30°-60°. Further, the angle is 45°; 30-60 degrees is preferred, which can make the connection between the guide structure 21 and the guide rail 111 more secure, and at 45 degrees, the sliding stability is further improved.

[0035] The two ends of the spring are fixed to the main body of the motor pressure plate and the groove of the adjustment structure 2. The adjustment structure 2 is inserted into the end of the guide groove. Through the spring, the adjustment structure 2 can be locked on the motor rubber ring 31 of any size motor 3 on the guide rail 111. The purpose of fixing the motor 3 is achieved by the cooperation between the adjustment structure 2 and the motor rubber ring 31, as well as by adjusting the number of springs or the spring elastic coefficient.

[0036] According to an embodiment of this application, a motor assembly is provided, including a motor mounting structure and a motor 3. The motor mounting structure is the one described above. The cooperation between the motor mounting structure and the motor 3 can meet the needs of fixing different models of motors 3. When installing the motor 3, the adjusting structure 2 slides on the guide rail 111, and the position of the motor 3 is precisely fixed under the push-pull of the spring. By using a push-pull type motor pressure plate (movable adjusting structure 2), it is possible to develop a single motor mounting structure suitable for different models of motors 3, increasing the application range of the motor pressure plate, reducing its development frequency, and achieving the goal of cost reduction and efficiency improvement. This application is a part that can be applied to different models of motors 3.

[0037] According to an embodiment of this application, an air conditioner is provided, including a motor assembly, which is the motor assembly described above. The air conditioner is a split-type wall-mounted air conditioner. The motor mounting structure can be a motor pressure plate of the indoor unit.

[0038] In the traditional air conditioning industry, when different motor models (3) are selected for the indoor unit, the motor mounting plate needs to be redesigned to fix the motor 3 due to the different lengths of the motor 3. This method of redesigning a motor mounting plate for each selected motor model greatly increases manpower and material resources. However, the motor mounting structure of this application is applicable to motor mounting structures of different motor models (3). By adding an adjustment structure (2) within the accommodating space, different motor models (3) are precisely fixed through the push-pull of springs and the guide rail (111). Using this application, a single motor mounting structure can be developed to suit different motor models (3), increasing the scope of application of the motor mounting structure, reducing its development frequency, and achieving the goal of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0039] The motor 3, motor mounting structure, and evaporator 5 of this air conditioner are sequentially mounted on the bottom casing 6. The bottom casing 6 has space reserved for the maximum length of the motor 3. The motor 3 is fitted into the inner cavity of the bottom casing 6. The motor mounting structure, the motor 3, and the bottom casing 6 are all fitted together. The evaporator 5 is also fitted into the bottom casing 6. A schematic diagram of the motor mounting structure is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, it includes a main body, a spring, and an adjustment structure 2. The main body has a 45° adjustment structure 2 guide rail 111 and a spring fixing groove, as shown. Figure 4 As shown; the spring is fixed between the motor pressure plate body and the adjustment structure 2. The adjustment structure 2 slides in cooperation with the guide rail 111. By adjusting the number of springs or the spring elastic coefficient, the adjustment structure 2 has enough thrust to fix the motor 3, thereby achieving the purpose of accurately fixing the motor 3.

[0040] It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the aforementioned advantageous methods can be freely combined and superimposed without conflict.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application.
