[0033] An air conditioner is a device used to adjust indoor temperature and humidity. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is exposed to the outside for a long time, so the waterproof performance of the motor of the outdoor unit is required to be high. In the related art, the motor is installed on the bracket of the outdoor unit, and water will enter the inside of the motor through the gap between the motor housing and the end cover, causing a short circuit, resulting in motor damage, and seriously affecting the reliability of the motor.

[0034] To this end, the present utility model embodiment provides a motor assembly, which can reduce the risk of rainwater entering the interior of the motor 200 and improve the waterproof performance of the motor 200. Figures 1 to 5 The motor assembly is described.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model provides a motor assembly, including a bracket 100 and a motor 200, the bracket 100 includes a mounting portion 110 and a shielding portion 130, the mounting portion 110 is provided with a mounting cavity 120, the mounting portion 110 is arranged along the circumferential direction and is annular, and the space surrounded by the mounting portion 110 is the mounting cavity 120. The mounting portion 110 includes a body portion, the body portion includes a first plate 111, a second plate 112 and a third plate 113 connected in sequence, the first plate 111 and the third plate 113 extend along the radial direction of the motor 200 respectively, the first plate 111 and the third plate 113 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the motor 200, and the two ends of the second plate 112 are respectively connected to the first plate 111 and the second plate 112. The shielding portion 130 is connected to the mounting portion 110, and the shielding portion 130 is connected to one end of the first plate 111 away from the second plate 112. Along the axial direction of the motor 200, the shielding portion 130 extends toward the side of the mounting portion 110 close to the housing 210, so that the shielding portion 130 can cover a portion of the housing 210. Since the first plate 111 and the third plate 113 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the motor 200, and the two ends of the second plate 112 are respectively connected to the first plate 111 and the third plate 113, the first plate 111, the second plate 112 and the third plate 113 form a bent structure. The first plate 111, the second plate 112 and the third plate 113 form a bent structure, which enhances the structural strength of the mounting portion 110, improves the stress distribution of the mounting portion 110, and further enhances the structural strength and stability of the bracket 100.

[0036] It can be understood that the motor 200 is provided with a central axis, the direction around the central axis is the circumferential direction, the direction along the central axis is the axial direction, and the radial direction is perpendicular to the axial direction.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, a portion of the motor 200 is accommodated in the installation cavity 120 and fixedly installed on the installation portion 110, and the motor 200 includes a housing 210, an end cover 230, and a water retaining portion 220. The end cover 230 is installed at one end of the housing 210, and the connection between the end cover 230 and the housing 210 is located in the installation cavity 120, so that the installation portion 110 covers the outer periphery of the connection between the end cover 230 and the housing 210. By covering the outer periphery of the connection between the end cover 230 and the housing 210 with the installation portion 110, rainwater can be prevented from entering the interior of the motor 200 from the connection between the end cover 230 and the housing 210 to a certain extent.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the utility model, the water retaining portion 220 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 210, and along the radial direction of the motor 200, the water retaining portion 220 extends in a direction away from the central axis of the motor 200. Along the axial direction of the motor 200, the water retaining portion 220 is located between the mounting portion 110 and the end of the shielding portion 130 away from the mounting portion 110, so that the shielding portion 130 can cover the outer periphery of the water retaining portion 220, that is, the shielding portion 130 shields the water retaining portion 220. The water retaining portion 220 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 210 to prevent rainwater from flowing along the outer peripheral wall of the housing 210 to the connection between the housing 210 and the end cover 230, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the motor 200, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the motor 200. Since the shielding portion 130 can shield the water retaining portion 220, when rainwater falls from the end of the shielding portion 130 away from the mounting portion 110 to the outer peripheral wall of the shell 210, the rainwater falls on the side of the water retaining portion 220 away from the mounting portion 110, thereby reducing the probability of rainwater drifting into the space between the mounting portion 110 and the water retaining portion 220. At the same time, the water retaining portion 220 can block rainwater from flowing along the outer peripheral wall of the shell 210 to the space between the mounting portion 110 and the water retaining portion 220, thereby reducing the probability of rainwater flowing to the connection between the shell 210 and the end cover 230, reducing the risk of rainwater entering the interior of the motor 200, improving the waterproof performance of the motor 200, and ensuring the reliability of the motor 200.

[0039] In some embodiments of the utility model, the water retaining portion 220 is annular and arranged along the circumference of the shell 210. In this way, the water retaining portion 220 at any circumferential position of the shell 210 can block rainwater from flowing along the outer wall of the shell 210 to the space between the mounting portion 110 and the water retaining portion 220, thereby achieving good waterproof performance.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion 110 further includes a first flange portion 114, the first flange portion 114 is connected to an end of the main body portion close to the central axis of the motor 200, that is, the first flange portion 114 is connected to an end of the third plate 113 away from the second plate 112, and the first flange portion 114 is arranged circumferentially around the motor 200, that is, the first flange portion 114 encloses and defines the mounting cavity 120. Along the axial direction of the motor 200, the first flange portion 114 extends in a direction away from the water retaining portion 220, and the first flange portion 114 protrudes from the end surface of the end cover 230 away from the housing 210, that is, the first flange portion 114 protrudes from the wall surface of the end cover 230 on the side away from the housing 210. Since the first flange portion 114 protrudes from the end surface of the end cover 230 away from the shell 210, when rainwater falls on the mounting portion 110, the first flange portion 114 prevents rainwater from falling on the outer wall of the end cover 230, and prevents rainwater from flowing from the outer wall of the end cover 230 to the connection between the end cover 230 and the shell 210, thereby reducing the risk of rainwater entering the interior of the motor 200 and improving the waterproof performance of the motor 200.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion 110 is further provided with a second flange portion 115, and the second flange portion 115 is arranged along the circumference of the motor 200. The second flange portion 115 is connected to one end of the first flange portion 114 away from the water retaining portion 220, and along the radial direction of the motor 200, the second flange portion 115 extends in a direction close to the central axis of the motor 200, that is, the second flange portion 115 is bent toward the central axis of the motor 200. The second flange portion 115 is connected to the first flange portion 114, and the second flange portion 115 is bent toward the central axis of the motor 200, so that the second flange portion 115 covers a part of the end surface of the end cover 230 away from the housing 210, so as to prevent rainwater from flowing into the outer peripheral wall of the motor 200 from the gap between the first flange portion 114 and the end cover 230, further prevent rainwater from flowing into the connection between the end cover 230 and the housing 210, thereby reducing the risk of rainwater intruding into the interior of the motor 200, and further improving the waterproof performance of the motor 200.

[0042] It is understandable that the water retaining portion 220 and the housing 210 are an integrated structure, that is, there is no gap or seam between the water retaining portion 220 and the housing 210, which prevents rainwater from entering the interior of the motor 200 through the gap between the water retaining portion 220 and the housing 210, thereby ensuring the waterproof performance of the water retaining portion 220. Since the water retaining portion 220 and the housing 210 are an integrated structure, the overall structural strength of the housing 210 and the water retaining portion 220 is enhanced. At the same time, there is no need to additionally install the water retaining portion 220 and the housing 210, which simplifies the production and installation process and facilitates production and processing.

[0043] It is understandable that the water retaining portion 220 and the housing 210 are an integrated structure, and the water retaining portion 220 and the housing 210 can be produced by injection molding, which has high production efficiency and can be customized and adjusted according to the specific sizes of the water retaining portion 220 and the housing 210. The integrated structure of the water retaining portion 220 and the housing 210 can also be produced by other processes such as 3D printing, which can be selected according to actual production applications, and this application is not limited here.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the utility model, the housing 210 is further provided with a plurality of fixing portions 211, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the housing 210, and the fixing portions 211 are mounted on the second plate 112 of the mounting portion 110. A plurality of water retaining portions 220 are provided, and the number of the water retaining portions 220 is equal to the number of the fixing portions 211. A water retaining portion 220 is arranged between each two adjacent fixing portions 211, and the two ends of each water retaining portion 220 are respectively connected between two adjacent fixing portions 211. The water retaining portion 220 is connected between two adjacent fixing portions 211 so that the water retaining portion 220 does not affect the connection between the fixing portion 211 and the mounting portion 110, thereby preventing the water retaining portion 220 from affecting the installation of the motor 200 on the bracket 100. Since the water retaining part 220 is connected between two adjacent fixing parts 211, that is, the water retaining part 220 and the plurality of fixing parts 211 are connected as one, the fixing parts 211 and the water retaining part 220 can jointly block rainwater from entering the interior of the motor 200, thereby saving the material usage of the water retaining part 220 and reducing the production cost.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of the utility model, the side of the water retaining portion 220 facing the mounting portion 110 has a first wall 221, and the side of the fixing portion 211 facing the mounting portion 110 has a second wall 212. The first wall 221 and the second wall 212 are coplanar, which facilitates the processing and forming of the water retaining portion 220 and the fixing portion 211, reduces the difficulty of the processing technology, simplifies the production process, and thus improves production efficiency.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of the utility model, a rubber member 240 is provided between the fixing portion 211 and the mounting portion 110, and two ends of the rubber member 240 are respectively abutted against the fixing portion 211 and the second plate 112 of the mounting portion 110, and the rubber member 240 has good cushioning properties. The rubber member 240 puts the fixing portion 211 and the mounting portion 110 in a soft contact state. The rubber member 240 can reduce the vibration of the motor 200 during use, reduce the damage to the motor 200 and the bracket 100 caused by vibration and impact, and reduce noise.

[0047] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments of the present invention, along the axial direction of the motor 200, the minimum distance between the end surface of the water retaining portion 220 and the end surface of the shielding portion 130 away from the mounting portion 110 is L 1 , that is, L 1 The minimum distance between the side of the water retaining portion 220 away from the mounting portion 110 and the end surface of the shielding portion 130 away from the mounting portion 110. The maximum width of the shielding portion 130 is L 2 , that is, the maximum distance between the two ends of the shielding portion 130 along the axial direction of the motor 200 is L 2 , the design meets: 0.25≤L 1 / L 2 ≤0.5. Generally speaking, the maximum width L of the shielding portion 130 2 To determine the value, if L 1 / L 2 <0.25, then along the axial direction of the motor 200, the minimum distance between the water retaining portion 220 and the end face of the shielding portion 130 away from the mounting portion 110 is too small, making it difficult for the water retaining portion 220 to block rainwater, and rainwater can easily pass over the water retaining portion 220 and enter the space between the mounting portion 110 and the water retaining portion 220, thereby causing rainwater to enter the interior of the motor 200 from the connection between the end cover 230 and the housing 210, resulting in poor waterproofing of the motor 200, which reduces the safety performance of the motor 200. Similarly, if L 1 / L 2 >0.5, then along the axial direction of the motor 200, the minimum distance between the end faces of the water retaining portion 220 and the shielding portion 130 away from the mounting portion 110 is too large, resulting in the distance between the mounting portion 110 and the water retaining portion 220 being too small, which in turn results in the installation space of the rubber component 240 being too small, resulting in the thickness of the rubber component 240 being too small, and the structural strength of the rubber component 240 being small, which in turn affects the vibration reduction and buffering effect of the rubber component 240, causing the motor 200 to generate vibration and noise during operation, which is not conducive to the stability of the motor 200 during use.

[0048] Therefore, the minimum distance L between the water retaining portion 220 and the end surface of the shielding portion 130 away from the mounting portion 110 is 1 and the maximum width L of the shielding portion 130 2 , the design meets: 0.25≤L 1 / L 2 ≤0.5. For example, L 1 / L 2 The value of is 0.25, 0.35, 0.45 or 0.5, etc., to ensure the waterproof effect of the shielding part 130 and the water retaining part 220, ensure the waterproof performance of the motor 200, ensure the installation space of the rubber part 240 and the thickness of the rubber part 240, and then improve the shock absorbing and buffering effect of the rubber part 240.

[0049] It can be understood that, in some embodiments of the present invention, the minimum distance L between the end surface of the water retaining portion 220 and the end surface of the shielding portion 130 facing away from the mounting portion 110 is 1 Also need to meet: L 1 ≥2mm, so as to improve the waterproof effect of the shielding portion 130 and the water retaining portion 220, ensure the waterproof performance of the motor 200, and reduce the risk of rainwater entering the motor 200.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the maximum outer diameter of the housing 210 is D, D is the maximum outer diameter of the housing 210 when the fixing portion 211 and the water retaining portion 220 are not included, and along the radial direction of the motor 200, the maximum protruding height of the water retaining portion 220 relative to the outer peripheral wall of the housing 210 is L 3 , i.e. along the radial direction of the motor 200, L 3 The maximum distance between the wall surface of the end of the water retaining portion 220 away from the central axis of the motor 200 and the outer peripheral wall of the housing 210 is designed to meet the following conditions: 0.05≤L 3 / D≤0.1. When the maximum outer diameter D of the housing 210 is basically determined, if L 3 / D<0.05, then along the radial direction of the motor 200, the maximum protrusion height of the water retaining portion 220 relative to the outer peripheral wall of the housing 210 is too small, causing rainwater to easily pass over the water retaining portion 220 and enter the space between the mounting portion 110 and the water retaining portion 220, making it difficult for the water retaining portion 220 to prevent rainwater from entering the connection between the end cover 230 and the housing 210, thereby increasing the probability of rainwater entering the motor 200 and affecting the waterproof effect. Similarly, when the maximum outer diameter D of the housing 210 is basically determined, if L 3 / D>0.1, then along the radial direction of the motor 200, the maximum protrusion height of the water retaining portion 220 relative to the outer peripheral wall of the housing 210 is too large, resulting in excessive weight and volume of the water retaining portion 220, which is not conducive to the lightweight of the motor 200 and affects the overall performance of the motor 200. At the same time, the material usage of the water retaining portion 220 is too large, increasing the production cost.

[0051] Therefore, the maximum outer diameter D of the housing 210 and the maximum protruding height L of the water retaining portion 220 relative to the outer peripheral wall of the housing 210 are 3 The design meets the following requirements: 0.05≤L 3 / D≤0.1. For example, L 3 The value of / D is 0.05, 0.07, 0.09 or 0.1, etc. The waterproof effect of the water retaining part 220 is ensured, thereby ensuring the waterproof performance of the motor 200, while avoiding excessive volume and weight of the water retaining part 220, which is beneficial to the lightweight design of the motor 200 and saves production costs.

[0052] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, along the radial direction of the motor 200, the maximum protrusion height L of the water retaining portion 220 relative to the outer peripheral wall of the housing 210 is 3 Also need to meet: L 3 ≥5mm, so as to ensure the waterproof effect of the water retaining part 220, and then ensure the waterproof performance of the motor 200, and ensure the safety performance of the motor 200.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the maximum outer diameter of the housing 210 is D, and the width of the second flange portion 115 along the radial direction of the motor 200 is L. 4 Since the second flange portion 115 is arranged around the circumference of the motor 200 and the second flange portion 115 is bent toward the central axis of the motor 200, that is, along the radial direction of the motor 200, L 4 L is the distance between the wall surface of the second flange portion 115 at one end close to the central axis of the motor 200 and the outer peripheral wall of the first flange portion 114. The design satisfies: 0.05≤L 4 / D≤0.1. When the maximum outer diameter D of the housing 210 is basically determined, if L 4 / D<0.05, the width of the second flange portion 115 is too small, and rainwater can easily pass over the second flange portion 115 and enter between the first flange portion 114 and the motor 200, thereby causing rainwater to enter the interior of the motor 200 from the connection between the end cover 230 and the housing 210, resulting in insufficient waterproof effect of the motor 200 and reducing the safety performance of the motor 200. Similarly, when the maximum outer diameter D of the housing 210 is basically determined, if L 4 / D>0.1, the width of the second flange portion 115 is too large, resulting in an increase in the volume and weight of the second flange portion 115 , reducing the structural stability of the bracket 100 , and increasing the processing difficulty and production cost of the bracket 100 .

[0054] Therefore, the maximum outer diameter D of the housing 210 and the width L of the second flange portion 115 are 4 The design meets the following requirements: 0.05≤L 4 / D≤0.1. For example, L 4 The value of / D is 0.05, 0.07, 0.09 or 0.1, etc., so as to ensure the waterproof effect of the second flange portion 115, reduce the probability of rainwater entering the motor 200, and thus ensure the reliability of the motor 200. At the same time, the volume and weight of the second flange portion 115 are prevented from being too large, the structural stability of the bracket 100 is improved, and the production cost of the bracket 100 is reduced.

[0055] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the width L of the second flange portion 115 is 4 Also need to meet: L4 ≥3mm. If L 4 <3mm, so as to ensure the waterproof effect of the second flange portion 115, reduce the probability of rainwater entering the interior of the motor 200, and improve the safety and reliability of the motor 200.
