[0031] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0032] The present utility model is made based on the inventor's discovery and recognition of the following facts and problems:

[0033] In the related art, an outdoor unit of an air conditioner generally includes a front panel, a motor bracket, a motor, a wind wheel, etc. Among them, a wind guide ring is provided on the front panel. The motor bracket is usually fixed inside the outdoor unit, the motor is fixed on the motor bracket, the wind wheel is installed on the driving shaft of the motor, and the wind wheel is arranged opposite to the wind guide ring.

[0034] During the long - distance transportation and installation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, there is a situation where the outdoor unit of the air conditioner accidentally falls. Due to the poor installation reliability of the motor bracket in the related art, the motor bracket will shift under the action of the falling impact. Especially when the outdoor unit falls on its side, at this time, the wind wheel will approach and touch the wind guide ring, resulting in problems such as the wind wheel and the wind guide ring getting stuck, the wind wheel being unable to rotate, the wind wheel being cracked, and the wind wheel flying out of the outdoor unit.

[0035] Based on the above problems and understandings, an embodiment of the present utility model proposes a bracket installation assembly.

[0036] As Figure 1 shown, the bracket installation assembly according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a heat exchanger 1, a motor bracket 2, and a fixing member 3.

[0037] The heat exchanger 1 can be a plate - type heat exchanger. The heat exchanger 1 can be used as a condenser or an evaporator during use.

[0038] The motor bracket 2 is provided with a first connection structure 21 that is hung on the heat exchanger 1. For example, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the motor bracket 2 may include a frame body 24. The frame body 24 may be integrally in the shape of a rectangular plate and may be vertically arranged. The first connection structure 21 may be integrally formed on the top side of the frame body 24 and may extend rearward of the frame body 24.

[0039] During assembly, the heat exchanger 1 may be located behind the motor bracket 2, and the first connection structure 21 may be hung on the top of the heat exchanger 1. For example, a groove may be provided on the bottom side of the first connection structure 21, and the top edge of the heat exchanger 1 may be embedded in the groove, so as to realize the connection and limit between the first connection structure 21 and the heat exchanger 1.

[0040] One end of the fixing member 3 is connected to the first connection structure 21, the other end of the fixing member 3 is connected to a set component, and the fixing member 3 is used to pull or abut against the first connection structure 21 to limit the displacement of the first connection structure 21 relative to the heat exchanger 1 in a first direction, and the first direction is the extending direction of the heat exchanger 1.

[0041] For example, the material of the fixing member 3 may be metal, plastic, etc. The fixing member 3 is in the shape of a long strip and may extend along the left - right direction. The fixing member 3 as a whole may be disposed on the left side of the motor bracket 2. The right end of the fixing member 3 may be fixedly connected to the first connection structure 21, and the right end of the fixing member 3 may be fixedly connected to the set component. It should be noted that the set component may be a structural member with good installation stability, and specifically may be a component of the heat exchanger 1, the housing, etc.

[0042] As Figure 1 shown, the main body part of the heat exchanger 1 generally extends along the left - right direction, and the above - mentioned first direction can be regarded as the left - right direction. During use, since the first connection structure 21 is connected to the set component through the fixing member 3, the distance between the first connection structure 21 and the set component can be regarded as non - adjustable. That is, when the first connection structure 21 has a tendency to move to the right, the fixing member 3 can pull the first connection structure 21, so as to limit the right - ward movement of the first connection structure 21 relative to the heat exchanger 1. When the first connection structure 21 has a tendency to move to the left, the fixing member 3 can support between the first connection structure 21 and the set component, so as to limit the left - ward movement of the first connection structure 21 relative to the heat exchanger 1.

[0043] The bracket mounting assembly according to the embodiment of the present utility model. The setting of the fixing member 3 can achieve the pulling and abutting of the first connection structure 21, thereby restricting the displacement of the first connection structure 21 in the left - right direction, and further restricting the situation of the first connection structure 21 shifting and moving in the left - right direction. It avoids the problem that the relative movement between the motor bracket 2 and the heat exchanger 1 is likely to occur due to side - fall and other situations in the related art, improves the installation reliability and structural stability of the motor bracket 2, and further avoids problems such as the impeller being unable to rotate, the impeller being cracked, and the impeller flying out of the outdoor unit caused by the contact between the impeller and the air guide ring.

[0044] In some embodiments, the fixing member 3 extends along the first direction. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the first direction can be the left - right direction. The fixing member 3 can be in the shape of a long plate, and the fixing member 3 can extend along the left - right direction. Thus, the direction of the force exerted on the fixing member 3 by the first connection structure 21 or the set component can be consistent with the extension direction of the fixing member 3, avoiding the generation of component forces, and thus fully meeting the use requirements for limiting the first connection structure 21 in the left - right direction.

[0045] In some embodiments, the set component is the heat exchanger 1, and the fixing member 3 is connected between the first connection structure 21 and the heat exchanger 1. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the fixing member 3 can be arranged on the left side of the motor bracket 2. The right end of the fixing member 3 can be fixedly connected to the motor bracket 2, and the left end of the fixing member 3 can be fixedly connected to the left - hand side edge of the heat exchanger 1. Since the heat exchanger 1 has high fixing stability, connecting the fixing member 3 to the heat exchanger 1 can fully ensure the limiting and constraining effect of the fixing member 3 on the first connection structure 21.

[0046] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 1 includes a side plate 11. The side plate 11 is arranged at the end of the heat exchanger 1 in the first direction, and the fixing member 3 is connected between the first connection structure 21 and the side plate 11.

[0047] For example, as Figure 1 shown, the side plate 11 can be the left - hand side plate 11 of the heat exchanger 1. As Figure 3 shown, the side plate 11 is strip - shaped and can extend along the up - down direction. The right end of the fixing member 3 can be fixedly connected to the first connection structure 21, and the left end of the fixing member 3 can be fixedly connected to this side plate 11.

[0048] In some other embodiments, the side plate 11 can also be the right - hand side plate 11 of the heat exchanger 1. At this time, the fixing member 3 can be entirely arranged on the right side of the motor bracket 2, and the left end of the fixing member 3 can be connected to the first connection structure 21, and the right end of the fixing member 3 can be connected to the right - hand side plate 11.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first connection structure 21 is provided with a first hole 212, the side plate 11 is provided with a second hole 111, one end of the fixing member 3 is connected to the first hole 212 via a fastener, and the other end of the fixing member 3 is connected to the second hole 111 via a fastener.

[0050] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the first hole 212 is a through hole, and the first hole 212 can be provided on the top side of the first connection structure 21 and penetrate the first connection structure 21 along the up-down direction. Figure 3 As shown, the second hole 111 can be provided at the top of the side plate 11, and the second hole 111 can penetrate the side plate 11 in the left-right direction. During assembly, the right end of the fixing member 3 can be connected and fixed to the first hole 212 by fasteners such as screws and bolts, and the left end of the fixing member 3 can also be connected and fixed to the second hole 111 by fasteners such as screws and bolts, thereby facilitating the assembly of the fixing member 3.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first connection structure 21 includes a lap plate 211, the lap plate 211 is stacked on the top side of the heat exchanger 1, and the first hole 212 is provided on the lap plate 211. Figure 2 As shown, the first connection structure 21 can be generally U-shaped, and the bottom side of the first connection structure 21 can be provided with a groove for the heat exchanger 1 to be embedded, and the lap plate 211 can be a flat plate portion arranged opposite to the groove in the up and down direction. The first hole 212 can be provided on the lap plate 211 and close to the left edge of the lap plate 211.

[0052] During assembly, the lap plate 211 can be directly overlapped on the top surface of the heat exchanger 1 from above, so as to play a role in limiting and restraining the first connection structure 21 and the heat exchanger 1 in the up and down directions.

[0053] In some embodiments, the fixing member 3 includes a connected extension section 31 and a bending section 32, the extension direction of the extension section 31 and the extension direction of the bending section 32 are arranged to intersect, one end of the extension section 31 is connected to the first connecting structure 21, and the other end of the extension section 31 is overlapped on the side panel 11, and the bending section 32 is attached to the surface of the side panel 11 away from the motor bracket 2 and is connected to the side panel 11.

[0054] For example, Figure 4 As shown, both the extension section 31 and the bending section 32 can be rectangular plates, wherein the length of the extension section 31 is much larger than the length of the bending section 32. The extension section 31 and the bending section 32 can be arranged vertically, wherein the extension section 31 can be generally extended in the left-right direction, and the bending section 32 can be connected to the left end of the extension section 31 and extend downwardly. The right end of the extension section 31 and the bending section 32 can be provided with through holes for fasteners to pass through.

[0055] During assembly, the right end of the extension section 31 can be directly lapped on the top side of the above-mentioned lapping plate 211, and then it can be connected and fixed to the lapping plate 211 through a fastener passing through the perforation at the right end of the extension section 31 and the above-mentioned first hole 212. The left end of the extension section 31 can be lapped on the top side of the above-mentioned side plate 11, and the bending section 32 is located on the left side of the side plate 11 and is in close contact with the left side surface of the side plate 11, and then it can be connected and fixed to the side plate 11 through a fastener passing through the perforation of the bending section 32 and the above-mentioned second hole 111.

[0056] In some embodiments, the setting member is a middle partition plate, and the fixing member 3 is connected between the first connection structure 21 and the middle partition plate. For example, the middle partition plate can be a partition plate for separating the compressor chamber and the motor chamber of an outdoor air conditioner, the middle partition plate can be vertically arranged, and both ends of the fixing member 3 can be respectively connected and fixed to the first connection structure 21 and the middle partition plate through fasteners.

[0057] In some embodiments, the fixing member 3 is arranged on the side of the heat exchanger 1 facing the motor bracket 2. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the side of the heat exchanger 1 facing the motor bracket 2 can be the front side of the heat exchanger 1, and the fixing member 3 as a whole can be located on the front side of the heat exchanger 1. Thus, the fixing member 3 can be hidden inside the air-conditioning device, avoiding the situation of being easily touched when exposed, and also ensuring the overall appearance.

[0058] The air-conditioning device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0059] The air-conditioning device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a panel 4, a chassis 5 and a bracket mounting assembly, and the bracket mounting assembly can be the bracket mounting assembly described in any of the above embodiments.

[0060] The panel 4 and the heat exchanger 1 are oppositely arranged in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the motor bracket 2 is arranged between the panel 4 and the heat exchanger 1, and the chassis 5 is fixed to the bottom sides of the panel 4 and the heat exchanger 1. For example, as Figure 5 shown, the second direction can be the front-back direction, the panel 4 and the heat exchanger 1 can be oppositely arranged in the front-back direction, wherein the panel 4 is located on the front side of the heat exchanger 1. The chassis 5 can be fixed to the bottom sides of the panel 4 and the heat exchanger 1 through fasteners such as screws. The motor bracket 2 is arranged in the space surrounded by the panel 4, the heat exchanger 1 and the chassis 5.

[0061] The motor bracket 2 includes a second connection structure 22 and a third connection structure 23. The first connection structure 21 is hung on the top side of the heat exchanger 1, the second connection structure 22 is lapped on the top side of the panel 4 and is connected to the panel 4, and the third connection structure 23 is fixedly connected to the chassis 5.

[0062] For example, as Figure 2As shown, the second connecting structure 22 can be integrally formed on the top of the frame body 24, and the third connecting structure 23 can be integrally formed on the bottom of the frame body 24. Both the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23 can be plate-like structures, and both the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23 can extend forwardly overhanging the frame body 24. Assembly holes through which fasteners such as screws can pass can be provided on both the second connecting structure 22 and the third connecting structure 23.

[0063] As Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting structure 21 of the motor bracket 2 can be hung on the top of the rear heat exchanger 1 and connected to the rear heat exchanger 1. The second connecting structure 22 of the motor bracket 2 can be hung on the front panel 4 and fixedly connected by fasteners. The third connecting structure 23 of the motor bracket 2 can be fixedly connected to the chassis 5 by fasteners.

[0064] In some embodiments, a wind guiding ring can be provided on the panel 4, a motor can be installed on the motor bracket 2, and a wind blade can be installed on the driving shaft of the motor. The wind blade is located within the wind guiding ring and there is a certain gap between the wind blade and the wind guiding ring.

[0065] For the air-conditioning equipment according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the limiting constraint of the fixing member on the first connecting structure can prevent the first connecting structure from shifting when the air-conditioning equipment falls, so that a certain gap is always maintained between the wind guiding ring and the wind blade, avoiding the situation where the wind blade contacts the wind guiding ring.

[0066] Since the motor bracket is installed and fixed through three connecting structures, and good limiting constraint can be achieved through the fixing member at the first connecting structure, the overall fixing structure is stable and reliable. Therefore, the requirement for the material thickness of the motor bracket can be reduced, that is, the material thickness of the motor bracket can be appropriately thinned, thereby playing a role in reducing the overall cost.

[0067] In addition, since the problem that the motor bracket is prone to displacement is avoided, the gap between the wind guiding ring and the wind blade can be further reduced, thereby playing a role in improving the air volume and enhancing the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor unit.

[0068] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the above embodiments are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
