Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and more specifically, to a shock absorption device and an air conditioner having the same. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in air conditioning, ventilation, and refrigeration systems, the motor is a core component, and its operational stability is crucial to the efficiency of the entire system. To ensure stable motor operation and reduce noise and equipment damage caused by vibration, the industry widely employs various vibration damping and fixing devices, including rubber pads, spring dampers, and rigid supports. Rubber pads, with their excellent elasticity and fatigue resistance, effectively absorb vibrations during motor startup and operation, performing particularly well in low-frequency vibration environments. They provide buffering for equipment operation, reduce noise levels, and improve the user experience. Spring dampers offer a more specialized solution for low-frequency vibrations. By cleverly matching the spring's natural frequency with the motor's vibration frequency, they achieve effective conversion and dissipation of vibration energy, thereby significantly reducing the impact of vibration on the motor and surrounding structures.
[0003] However, while these existing technologies can meet the vibration reduction requirements of motors in certain directions and frequencies, their limitations in dealing with complex multi-directional vibrations and frequency variations are becoming increasingly apparent. This is especially true for top-mounted motor units, such as condensing chillers, multi-split systems, and motor coils, whose motor mounting methods generally rely on vibration isolation in a single direction, such as vertical rubber pads or spring dampers, or rigid support structures. This fixed vibration reduction method often fails to achieve ideal results in actual operating conditions. Most vibration damping devices are designed only for vertical motor vibration, neglecting potential horizontal and rotational vibrations. During actual motor operation, especially at high speeds or during variable frequency operation, horizontal and rotational vibrations are equally significant. Failure to effectively suppress these vibrations will severely impact the motor's operational stability and efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-5The embodiments of this application provide a vibration damping device, including: a mounting frame 100 for connecting to a foundation to be installed; a first connecting member 220 for fixedly connecting to a component to be damped; and a circumferential damping structure 210, the circumferential damping structure 210 including a first elastic member 2112, one end of the first elastic member 2112 being connected to the first connecting member 220, and the other end of the first elastic member 2112 being connected to the mounting frame 100. The first elastic member 2112 extends circumferentially along the component to be damped and is arranged in an arc shape. The first elastic member 2112 is deformably arranged circumferentially along the component to be damped so that circumferential damping is achieved through the deformation of the first elastic member 2112 during the operation of the component to be damped.
[0028] The vibration damping device provided in this application includes a mounting frame 100, a first connecting member 220, and a circumferential damping structure 210. Circumferential deformable vibration damping is achieved through the arrangement of a first elastic member 2112. Due to the vibration absorption and energy dissipation characteristics of the elastic member, the first elastic member 2112 is arranged in a circumferential arc along the part to be damped, effectively absorbing the circumferential vibration energy generated by the operation of the part to be damped, and achieving vibration reduction and dispersion through its deformation characteristics. This design overcomes the limitations of traditional vibration damping methods such as the easy aging and damage of rubber pads and the fixed and unadjustable stiffness of spring dampers, especially in the suppression of multi-directional (axial, radial, and circumferential) vibrations. The vibration damping device can adapt to changes in vibration frequency under different operating conditions, improving the reliability and adaptability of the damping performance. It avoids the decrease in equipment stability and noise problems caused by the inability of a single damping method to effectively control composite vibrations. Especially in harsh environments, it maintains the long-term stable operation of the damping system, significantly improving equipment operating efficiency and user experience. By utilizing the circumferential deformation of the first elastic element 2112, this technical solution achieves comprehensive suppression of axial, radial, and circumferential vibrations in the damping component assembly, effectively solving the common multi-directional vibration management problem in the industry.
[0029] Specifically, the circumferential damping structure 210 also includes a first guide rod 2111, which is mounted on the mounting frame 100. A first connector 220 is provided at the end of the first guide rod 2111 away from the mounting frame 100. At least a portion of the first guide rod 2111 is arc-shaped, and a first elastic member 2112 is sleeved on the first guide rod 2111.
[0030] In this embodiment, the circumferential damping structure also includes a first guide rod 2111, which is mounted on the mounting frame 100. A first connector 220 is located at the end furthest from the mounting frame. At least a portion of the first guide rod is arc-shaped, and a first elastic element 2112 is sleeved on the first guide rod. This design allows the first guide rod to guide the first elastic element to undergo arc-shaped displacement when the damped component vibrates circumferentially. The arc-shaped first guide rod enables orderly deformation of the elastic element, effectively absorbing and converting circumferential vibration energy, thereby achieving damping. This solution not only achieves circumferential damping but also ensures a soft connection between the damper and the damped component through the use of the first elastic element, avoiding vibration transmission that might be caused by a hard connection and enhancing the overall stability of the system. Through the arc-shaped design of the first guide rod and the cooperation of the first elastic element, this embodiment achieves precise control and efficient damping of the circumferential vibration of the damped component, improving the smoothness of equipment operation and its service life. In other embodiments not shown, the specific shape of the first guide rod and the material of the first elastic element can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different models of shock absorbers and working environments, thereby improving the shock absorption effect and equipment compatibility.
[0031] Specifically, the first guide rod 2111 is movably mounted on the mounting frame 100 along the circumference of the component to be damped. One end of the first guide rod 2111 away from the mounting frame 100 is fixedly connected to the first connecting member 220. One end of the first elastic member 2112 abuts against the mounting frame 100, and the other end of the first elastic member 2112 abuts against the first connecting member 220. Alternatively, the first guide rod 2111 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 100, and one end of the first guide rod 2111 away from the mounting frame 100 is movably mounted on the first connecting member 220 along the circumference of the component to be damped. The first elastic member 2111... One end of the first elastic member 2112 abuts against the mounting bracket 100, and the other end of the first elastic member 2112 is connected to the first connecting member 220; or, the circumferential damping assembly 211 further includes a first adjusting member, which is detachably mounted on the first guide rod 2111 along the axial direction of the damping member, and the first guide rod 2111 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 100. One end of the first guide rod 2111 away from the mounting bracket 100 is movably inserted through the first connecting member 220 along the circumference of the damping member, one end of the elastic member abuts against the first adjusting member, and the other end of the elastic member abuts against the first connecting member 220.
[0032] In this embodiment, the first guide rod 2111 is movably mounted on the mounting frame 100 along the circumference of the component to be damped and is fixedly connected to the first connecting member 220. The first elastic member 2112 is located between the first guide rod 2111 and the mounting frame 100, and achieves the damping effect through the abutment of both ends. Alternatively, the first guide rod 2111 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 100, while the first connecting member 220 is movably mounted on the end of the first guide rod 2111 along the circumference, and the first elastic member 2112 is connected to both, absorbing and reducing the vibration of the component to be damped through compression deformation. More specifically, the circumferential damping assembly 211 may also include a first adjusting member, which is detachably mounted on the first guide rod 2111 along the axial direction of the component to be damped. This allows the pre-compression amount of the first elastic member 2112 to be changed by adjusting its position, thereby adjusting the stiffness of the entire assembly and achieving adaptive damping for vibrations in different frequency bands. This structural innovation not only ensures comprehensive suppression of axial, radial, and circumferential vibrations by the shock absorber, but also enhances the dynamic response capability of the damping system through the precise adjustment function of the first adjustment component. It effectively addresses vibration frequency fluctuations caused by load changes during the operation of the damped component, significantly improving damping efficiency and equipment operational stability. The integrated design of the multi-directional bracket allows the damping components to be quickly embedded in the recessed structure of the motor housing of the damped component, avoiding the need for high-precision modifications to the equipment structure required during the installation of traditional damping solutions. This reduces maintenance costs and improves durability and reliability under harsh environmental conditions.
[0033] Specifically, the damping device includes a plurality of first connectors 220 and a plurality of first elastic elements 2112. The plurality of first connectors 220 are spaced apart circumferentially along the component to be damped. A first guide rod 2111 passes through at least a portion of the mounting frame 100. The two ends of the first guide rod 2111 are respectively connected to two first connectors 220. The first guide rod 2111 has a first guide section located on one side of at least a portion of the mounting frame 100 and a second guide section located on the other side of at least a portion of the mounting frame 100. A first elastic element 2112 is sleeved on both the first guide section and the second guide section.
[0034] In this embodiment, the vibration damping device employs a structure in which a first guide rod 2111 passes through the mounting frame 100, and both ends are connected to a plurality of first connecting members 220 spaced apart circumferentially along the component to be damped. This design achieves multi-directional absorption of vibrations from the component by using a first elastic member 2112 fitted onto the first guide section and the second guide section formed on both sides of the mounting frame 100 by the first guide rod 2111. When the component to be damped vibrates during operation, the first connecting member 220 effectively converts vibration energy into deformation energy through the elastic deformation between the first elastic member 2112 and the first guide rod 2111, thereby achieving the effect of vibration damping. More importantly, by adjusting the position of the first elastic member 2112 on the first guide rod 2111, i.e., adjusting the tightness of the limiting nut, the compression of the first elastic member 2112 can be flexibly changed, achieving adjustable device stiffness.
[0035] Specifically, the connection between the first connector 220 and the first guide rod 2111 allows the vibration of the component to be damped to be directly transmitted to the first elastic element 2112. The elastic deformation of the first elastic element 2112 buffers the vibration, reducing the impact of the component to be damped on the mounting bracket 100. The design of the first guide section and the second guide section ensures that the first elastic element 2112 can effectively respond to axial, radial, or circumferential vibrations of the component to be damped, achieving all-round vibration damping. The adjustment function of the limit nut allows the user to dynamically adjust the stiffness of the first elastic element 2112 according to actual needs, thereby optimizing the vibration damping effect.
[0036] Specifically, the damping device includes at least one set of circumferential damping structures 210, each set of circumferential damping structures 210 including two circumferential damping components 211, which are symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame 100 along the motor axis.
[0037] In this embodiment, the vibration damping device integrates at least one set of circumferential damping structures 210. Each set of circumferential damping structures 210 includes two circumferential damping components 211, which are symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame 100 along the motor axis. By symmetrically arranging the circumferential damping components, the torque of the motor during rotation can be effectively balanced, thereby reducing the circumferential vibration and sway of the damped component. This design fully utilizes the force balance effect brought about by symmetry, enabling the damper to not only function in the vertical and horizontal directions but also effectively suppress vibration in the rotational direction, enhancing the stability of the entire damping system in three-dimensional space. The coordinated work of the circumferential damping components and the mounting frame ensures that the vibration energy of the motor during operation is evenly distributed and absorbed, avoiding local stress concentration, and thus reducing the risk of vibration noise and equipment fatigue damage. During implementation, the addition of this circumferential damping structure can achieve effective control of multi-directional vibration without additional complex adjustments, demonstrating the efficiency and practicality of the design. Of course, according to actual working conditions, the number of circumferential damping structures can be increased or decreased for optimization and adjustment to achieve the best damping effect.
[0038] In other embodiments not shown in the figures, the circumferential damping component can also be combined with other damping units, such as axial or radial damping units, to form a more comprehensive multi-directional damping system, specifically improving the smoothness and quietness of the damped component's operation. This integrated design not only simplifies the installation and maintenance process of the damped component but also significantly improves the equipment's adaptability and reliability in complex environments.
[0039] Specifically, the damping device also includes a radial damping structure 230, which includes a second elastic element 2312. One end of the second elastic element 2312 is fixedly connected to the damping member, and the other end of the second elastic element 2312 is connected to the mounting bracket 100. The second elastic element 2312 is deformably arranged along the radial direction of the damping member so that radial damping can be achieved through the deformation of the second elastic element 2312 during the operation of the damping member.
[0040] In this embodiment, the vibration damping unit further includes a radial damping structure 230, which encompasses a second elastic element 2312. One end of this element is securely connected to the component to be damped, while the other end is connected to the mounting bracket 100. The second elastic element 2312 has deformable characteristics in the radial direction of the component to be damped, enabling it to absorb and offset radial vibrations through its own deformation during equipment operation. This radial damping design works in conjunction with the axial and circumferential damping units to jointly construct a comprehensive multi-directional damping system. When subjected to radial force, the second elastic element 2312 undergoes elastic deformation, converting the vibration energy into elastic potential energy. Subsequently, in another phase of the vibration cycle, the element returns to its original shape, releasing energy, thereby achieving the damping effect.
[0041] Specifically, the radial damping assembly 231 further includes a second guide rod 2311, which extends radially along the component to be damped. One end of the second guide rod 2311 is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 100 along the radial direction of the component to be damped, and the other end of the second guide rod 2311 is mounted on the component to be damped. A second elastic member 2312 is sleeved on the second guide rod 2311, with one end of the second elastic member 2312 abutting against the mounting bracket 100 and the other end of the second elastic member 2312 abutting against the component to be damped.
[0042] In this embodiment, the innovative design of the radial damping component 231 introduces a second guide rod 2311, which extends radially along the component to be damped. One end is radially movably mounted on the mounting bracket 100, and the other end is mounted on the component. A second elastic element 2312 is sleeved on the second guide rod 2311, abutting against the mounting bracket 100 and the component to be damped. This configuration aims to synergistically suppress the radial vibration of the component to be damped. Through the guiding effect of the second guide rod 2311, it ensures that the compression direction of the second elastic element 2312 is consistent with the radial vibration of the component to be damped, thereby achieving efficient and precise energy absorption and conversion.
[0043] Specifically, the damping device also includes an axial damping structure 240, which includes an axial damping component 241. The axial damping component 241 includes a third elastic element 2412 and a fourth elastic element 2413. The third elastic element 2412 and the fourth elastic element 2413 are respectively disposed on both sides of the mounting frame 100 along the axial direction. The third elastic element 2412 and the fourth elastic element 2413 are both deformably disposed along the axial direction of the component to be damped, so that axial damping can be achieved through the deformation of the second elastic element 2312 during the operation of the component to be damped.
[0044] In this embodiment, the vibration damping device specifically integrates an axial vibration damping structure 240, wherein the axial vibration damping component 241 includes a third elastic element 2412 and a fourth elastic element 2413, respectively placed at both ends of the mounting frame 100 in the axial direction. These elastic elements are deformably arranged along the axial direction of the component to be damped, aiming to effectively suppress axial vibration through the deformation of the third elastic element 2412 and the fourth elastic element 2413 when the component is running. The core of this design is that by configuring dual elastic elements in the axial direction, axial vibration energy can be absorbed more evenly, avoiding damping failure caused by unidirectional stress concentration. At the same time, the deformability of the elastic elements ensures adaptability to different vibration amplitudes, improving the overall stability and reliability of the vibration damping system. This technical solution not only enhances the control of axial vibration of the component to be damped, but also specifically improves the multi-directional vibration damping system, making it a more comprehensive vibration suppression solution.
[0045] Specifically, the axial damping assembly 241 also includes a third guide rod 2411, which is movably mounted on the mounting frame 100 along the axial direction of the damping component. Both ends of the third guide rod 2411 are connected to the damping component. A third elastic element 2412 and a fourth elastic element 2413 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the third guide rod 2411. One end of the third elastic element 2412 and the fourth elastic element 2413 abuts against the mounting frame 100, and the other end of the third elastic element 2412 and the fourth elastic element 2413 is fixedly connected to the damping component.
[0046] In this embodiment, the axial damping assembly further includes a third guide rod 2411, which is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 100 along the axial direction of the component to be damped, with both ends connected to the component. A third elastic element 2412 and a fourth elastic element 2413 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the third guide rod 2411, with one end abutting against the mounting bracket 100 and the other end fixedly connected to the component to be damped. This design, through the axial mobility of the third guide rod 2411 and the interaction between it and the elastic elements at both ends, provides an additional axial damping path for the component to be damped. As the third guide rod 2411 moves, the third elastic element 2412 and the fourth elastic element 2413, through their own elastic deformation, can absorb the axial vibration energy generated by the component to be damped, thereby enhancing the axial damping capability. Meanwhile, the contact and fixed connection between the elastic elements at both ends and the mounting bracket 100 and the damping component ensures the stability of the damping effect. Even when the damping component experiences strong axial vibration, it maintains good damping performance, effectively reducing vibration and noise during equipment operation. Furthermore, this multi-stage damping design allows for fine-tuning of the damping intensity to adapt to different operating conditions, improving the overall adaptability and reliability of the device. In other embodiments not shown in the figures, the structure of the axial damping assembly can be specifically optimized, for example, by adjusting the shape, size, or material of the third guide rod 2411, or changing the type of elastic element, to achieve better damping effect and longer service life.
[0047] In the above embodiments, this application also provides an L-shaped connector, one end of the third guide rod 2411 is connected to the shock absorber through the L-shaped connector, and the other end of the third guide rod 2411 is connected to the shock absorber through the first connector 220.
[0048] like Figure 4As shown, specifically, the damping device further includes a radial damping structure, at least a portion of which is deformably arranged radially along the member to be damped. The damping device also includes a second connector 250 extending circumferentially along the member to be damped, and the radial damping structure is mounted on the second connector 250. The first connector 220 includes a horizontal mounting plate 221, a vertical mounting plate 222, two first side plates 223, and two second side plates 224 connected to each other. The vertical mounting plate 222 is disposed on the side of the horizontal mounting plate 221 near the member to be damped. Two first side plates 223 are respectively arranged on both sides of the vertical mounting plate 222 along the circumference of the shock absorber. A first guide rod is passed through each first side plate 223. The horizontal mounting plate 221, the vertical mounting plate 222 and the two first side plates 223 form a protective space. A third guide rod is passed through the horizontal mounting plate 221 and located in the protective space. Two second side plates 224 are respectively arranged on both sides of the horizontal mounting plate 221 along the circumference of the shock absorber. A second connector 250 is connected to each second side plate 224.
[0049] In this embodiment, the radial damping structure works in conjunction with the second connector 250. The second connector extends circumferentially along the component to be damped, providing a stable mounting base for the radial damping structure. The first connector 220 is designed to include a horizontal mounting plate 221, a vertical mounting plate 222, two first side plates 223, and two second side plates 224, forming a protective space. The vertical mounting plate 222 is connected to the horizontal mounting plate 221 and is located on the side of the horizontal mounting plate closer to the component to be damped. The first side plates 223 and the second side plates 224 are respectively arranged on both sides of the vertical mounting plate and the horizontal mounting plate along the circumference of the component to be damped. This layout ensures that the radial damping structure conforms to support in multiple directions. Each first side plate 223 is provided with a first guide rod, and the horizontal mounting plate 221 is provided with a third guide rod. These guide rods, in conjunction with the limiting nut, can precisely adjust the compression of the radial damping spring during the operation of the component to be damped, thereby adjusting the stiffness of the damping device. The inclusion of the second connector 250 enhances system stability, enabling the entire damping device to be adjusted axially and effectively suppress radial vibration, ultimately achieving multi-directional adaptive damping. This design fully utilizes the characteristics of metal springs, overcoming the limitations of traditional rubber pads' aging susceptibility and fixed stiffness, improving the reliability and service life of the damper in harsh environments, while also simplifying the installation process and avoiding the need for high-precision modifications to the damping component structure. In summary, the damping device of this embodiment, through its multi-directional support and dynamically adjustable metal springs, forms a comprehensive and highly adaptable damping system that effectively addresses the multi-directional vibration problems of the damping component under different operating conditions, significantly improving the operational stability and noise reduction effect of the air conditioning system.
[0050] This application provides an air conditioner including the above-mentioned shock absorption device. The air conditioner includes a shock absorber, which is disposed in the installation area enclosed by the mounting bracket 100. The end of the first mounting part 110 away from the mounting bracket 100 is connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner.
[0051] This application also provides an air conditioner, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner integrates the aforementioned vibration damping device, enabling it to effectively reduce and suppress multi-directional vibrations generated by its internal fan during operation. The air conditioner includes the damping component, namely the motor 300, which is disposed within the mounting area enclosed by the mounting bracket 100. The end of the first mounting part 110 furthest from the mounting bracket 100 is directly connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner. Through this integrated design, the circumferential deformation of the first elastic element 2112 not only achieves comprehensive suppression of axial, radial, and circumferential vibrations but also enhances the operational stability of the entire air conditioning system and reduces operating noise. More importantly, this vibration damping structure of the air conditioner significantly improves the long-term operational reliability of the equipment under harsh environmental conditions, avoids equipment failures and increased maintenance costs caused by vibration, and provides users with a quieter and more comfortable user experience.
[0052] The mounting bracket 100 includes a first mounting portion 110 and a second mounting portion 120. The first mounting portion 110 consists of multiple mounting beams, one end of which is mounted on a mounting plate at the top air outlet of the air conditioner. The second mounting portion 120 is a circular bracket located at the end of the first mounting portion 110 away from the mounting plate. Below the second mounting portion 120, a first mounting plate extending vertically is provided, and a first guide rod 2111 passes through the mounting plate. Below the first mounting plate, a second mounting plate perpendicular to the first mounting plate is provided, and a second guide rod 2311 passes through the second mounting plate.
