[0032] The embodiments of the present invention 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 invention, and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0033] The present invention is made based on the inventor's discovery and recognition of the following facts and problems:

[0034] In the related art, an outdoor unit of an air conditioner generally includes a front panel, a motor bracket, a motor, a wind blade, 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 blade is installed on the drive shaft of the motor, and the wind blade is arranged opposite to the wind guide ring.

[0035] 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 drops. Due to the poor installation reliability of the motor bracket in the related art, the motor bracket will shift under the action of the drop impact. Especially when the outdoor unit drops on its side, at this time, the wind blade will approach and touch the wind guide ring, resulting in problems such as the wind blade and the wind guide ring getting stuck, the wind blade unable to rotate, the wind blade being cracked, and the wind blade flying out of the outdoor unit.

[0036] Based on the above problems and understandings, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a bracket fixing assembly.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the bracket fixing assembly of the embodiment of the present invention includes a heat exchanger 1, a motor bracket 2, and a connecting piece 3.

[0038] The heat exchanger 1 can be a plate heat exchanger 1. Specifically, the heat exchanger 1 can be used as a condenser. In some other embodiments, the heat exchanger 1 can also be used as an evaporator.

[0039] The motor bracket 2 includes a frame body 21 and a first connection structure 22. The frame body 21 and the heat exchanger 1 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction, and the first connection structure 22 is hung on the heat exchanger 1. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the frame body 21 can generally be in the shape of a rectangular frame, the frame body 21 extends along the up and down direction, and the first connection structure 22 can be integrally formed at the top of the frame body 21 and can overhang towards the rear side of the frame body 21. The first direction can be the front and rear direction, and the heat exchanger 1 can be arranged at the rear side of the frame body 21 and is spaced from the frame body 21.

[0040] The first connection structure 22 can be integrally U-shaped grooved, that is, a groove with the notch facing down is provided on the bottom side of the first connection structure 22. During assembly, the top side edge of the heat exchanger 1 can be embedded into the groove, so that the first connection structure 22 can be hung and assembled on the top side of the heat exchanger 1 and the limit constraint of the motor bracket 2 and the heat exchanger 1 in the front and rear direction can be realized.

[0041] The connecting piece 3 is connected between the heat exchanger 1 and the frame body 21 to limit the displacement of the first connection structure 22 relative to the heat exchanger 1 in the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0042] For example, as Figure 1 shown, the connecting piece 3 can be a long strip-shaped structure. The material of the connecting piece 3 can be metal, plastic, etc. One end of the connecting piece 3 can be fixedly connected to the heat exchanger 1, and the other end of the connecting piece 3 can be fixedly connected to the frame body 21. During use, the connecting piece 3 can play a role in limiting the displacement of the motor bracket 2 and the first connection structure 22 in the left and right directions.

[0043] In the bracket fixing assembly of the embodiment of the present utility model, the setting of the connecting piece 3 can realize the limit constraint of the motor bracket 2 and the first connection structure 22, so that the displacement of the first connection structure 22 in the left and right directions can be limited, and further the situation of the first connection structure 22 shifting in the left and right directions can be limited, avoiding the problem that the relative movement between the motor bracket 2 and the heat exchanger 1 is likely to occur due to side falling and other situations in the related art, improving the installation reliability and structural stability of the motor bracket 2, and further avoiding problems such as the impeller cannot rotate, the impeller is cracked, and the impeller flies out of the outdoor unit caused by the contact between the impeller and the air guide ring.

[0044] In some embodiments, the connecting piece 3 extends along the first direction. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the first direction can be the front and rear direction, the connecting piece 3 is long strip-shaped and can extend along the front and rear direction, wherein the front end of the connecting piece 3 can be fixedly connected to the frame body 21, and the rear end of the connecting piece 3 can be fixedly connected to the heat exchanger 1.

[0045] The straight-line distance between the frame 21 and the heat exchanger 1 in the first direction enables the overall length of the connecting member 3 to be relatively short. While reducing the structural size of the connecting member 3, it also enables the connecting member 3 to have a relatively high flexural strength, fully meeting the usage requirement of restricting the swinging displacement of the frame 21 connected to the first connecting structure 22 in the left-right direction.

[0046] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 1 includes a plurality of fins 11, and the plurality of fins 11 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and one end of the connecting member 3 is inserted between two adjacent fins 11. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the plurality of fins 11 can all be aluminum fins 11, the fins 11 can be in the shape of thin sheets, the second direction can be the left-right direction, and the plurality of fins 11 can be arranged at equal intervals along the left-right direction.

[0047] The front end of the connecting member 3 can be directly connected to the frame 21, and the rear end of the connecting member 3 can be inserted into the space between two fins 11. During use, the rear end of the connecting member 3 can be blocked and limited by the fins 11 on the left and right sides, so as to meet the usage requirement of restricting the displacement of the frame 21 and the first connecting structure 22 in the left-right direction through the limiting assembly with the fins 11.

[0048] In some embodiments, the end of the connecting member 3 for insertion between two fins 11 is provided with an avoidance groove 33, and the heat exchanger 1 includes a heat exchange tube, and the heat exchange tube is embedded in the avoidance groove 33. For example, as Figure 2 shown, the avoidance groove 33 is provided at the rear end of the connecting member 3, the avoidance groove 33 can be an arched groove, the heat exchange tube of the heat exchanger 1 can extend along the left-right direction and can pass through a plurality of fins 11, and the heat exchange tube can be a copper tube or the like. When the rear end of the connecting member 3 is inserted between two fins 11, the heat exchange tube can be horizontally embedded in the avoidance groove 33.

[0049] Thus, on the one hand, the avoidance groove 33 can avoid the situation of the connecting member 3 touching and interfering with the heat exchange tube during the plugging and assembling process. On the other hand, the limiting effect between the connecting member 3 and the heat exchanger 1 can be enhanced through the blocking of the avoidance groove 33 and the heat exchange tube, improving the connection stability and structural strength.

[0050] In some embodiments, the depth direction of the avoidance groove 33 is the first direction. For example, as Figure 2 shown, the first direction can be the front-rear direction, the notch of the avoidance groove 33 can be provided at the rear end of the connecting member 3, and the depth direction of the avoidance groove 33 is the front-rear direction. Thus, when the connecting member 3 is inserted between two fins 11 along the front-to-back direction, the heat exchange tube can be inserted into the avoidance groove 33 smoothly, thereby improving the assembly convenience.

[0051] In some embodiments, a first hole 211 is provided on the frame body 21, and a second hole 34 is provided at the other end of the connecting member 3. The first hole 211 and the second hole 34 are for a fastener to pass through to realize the connection and fixation between the connecting member 3 and the frame body 21.

[0052] For example, as Figure 3 shown, the first hole 211 can be provided at a position on the frame body 21 adjacent to the left edge of the frame body 21. The first hole 211 can be a round hole and can penetrate the frame body 21 in the front-rear direction. As Figure 2 shown, the second hole 34 can be provided at the front end of the connecting member 3 and can penetrate the connecting member 3 in the front-rear direction. The fastener can be a screw, a bolt, etc.

[0053] During assembly, a part of the connecting member 3 can be lapped on the frame body 21. At this time, the first hole 211 and the second hole 34 are arranged opposite to each other in the front-rear direction. Then, the fastener can be passed through the first hole 211 and the second hole 34 at the same time to complete the connection and fixation between the connecting member 3 and the frame body 21, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the assembly of the connecting member 3 and the frame body 21.

[0054] In some embodiments, the connecting member 3 includes a first extension section 31 and a second extension section 32 that are cross-connected. The first extension section 31 extends along a first direction, and the second extension section 32 extends along a second direction. The first extension section 31 is inserted between two adjacent fins 11, and the second hole 34 is provided on the second extension section 32.

[0055] For example, as Figure 2 shown, both the first extension section 31 and the second extension section 32 can be generally rectangular plate-shaped. Both the first extension section 31 and the second extension section 32 are vertically arranged, wherein the first extension section 31 extends in the front-rear direction, and the second extension section 32 extends in the left-right direction, that is, the first extension section 31 and the second extension section 32 are perpendicularly arranged. The second extension section 32 can be integrally connected to the front end of the first extension section 31 and bent to the right side of the first extension section 31. The above-mentioned avoidance groove 33 can be provided at the rear end of the first extension section 31, and the above-mentioned second hole 34 can be provided in the middle of the second extension section 32.

[0056] Thus, during assembly, the second extension section 32 can be lapped on the frame body 21, and the first extension section 31 can be directly inserted between two adjacent fins 11, thereby facilitating the lap fixation between the connecting member 3 and the frame body 21.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, in the front-rear direction, the frame body 21 is located between the second extension section 32 and the heat exchanger 1, and the second extension section 32 is lapped on the front side of the frame body 21. In some other embodiments, the second extension section 32 can also be provided at the rear side of the frame body 21.

[0058] In some embodiments, the corners of the first extension section 31 and the second extension section 32 are rounded corners 35. For example, as Figure 2 shown, both the first extension section 31 and the second extension section 32 can be rectangular, and each corner of the first extension section 31 and the second extension section 32 can be a quarter-round corner 35. This can avoid the sharp corners that are likely to scratch the human body during installation, thus enhancing the safety of operation.

[0059] In some embodiments, the motor bracket 2 includes a second connection structure 23 and a third connection structure 24. The first connection structure 22 and the second connection structure 23 are provided at the same end of the frame body 21, and the first connection structure 22 and the second connection structure 23 are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction. The third connection structure 24 is provided at the other end of the frame body 21. The second connection structure 23 is used to connect to the panel 4, and the third connection structure 24 is used to connect to the chassis 5.

[0060] For example, as Figure 3 shown, both the first connection structure 22 and the second connection structure 23 can be provided at the top end of the frame body 21. Among them, the first connection structure 22 can extend rearwardly from the frame body 21, and the second connection structure 23 can extend forwardly from the frame body 21. The third connection structure 24 can be provided at the bottom end of the frame body 21, and the third connection structure 24 can extend forwardly from the frame body 21.

[0061] As Figure 4 shown, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can include a panel 4 and a chassis 5. The panel 4 can be provided at the front side of the heat exchanger 1, and the chassis 5 can be fixed to the bottom of the panel 4 and the heat exchanger 1. The motor bracket 2 can be provided between the panel 4 and the heat exchanger 1 and above the chassis 5.

[0062] During assembly, the first connection structure 22 can be directly hung on the top of the heat exchanger 1, the second connection structure 23 can be connected and fixed to the front panel 4 through fasteners, and the third connection structure 24 can also be connected and fixed to the bottom chassis 5 through fasteners. This fully ensures the stability of the fixation of the motor bracket 2.

[0063] The air-conditioning equipment of the embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

[0064] The air-conditioning equipment of the embodiments of the present invention includes a bracket fixing component as described in any of the above embodiments. The air-conditioning equipment can be an outdoor unit of an air conditioner. For example, as Figure 4 shown, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can include a heat exchanger 1, a motor bracket 2, a panel 4, a chassis 5, etc. The motor bracket 2 is provided between the panel 4 and the heat exchanger 1, and the frame body 21 of the motor bracket 2 is connected and fixed to the heat exchanger 1 through a connector 3. The first connection structure 22 of the motor bracket 2 can be lapped on the top of the heat exchanger 1, the second connection structure 23 is fixed to the panel 4 through fasteners, and the third connection structure 24 is connected to the chassis 5 through fasteners.

[0065] In the air-conditioning equipment according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the frame body 21 is fixedly connected to the heat exchanger 1 through the connecting member 3, so that the first connecting structure 22 can be limited and constrained, and the situation that the first connecting structure 22 is displaced when the air-conditioning equipment falls can be avoided. Furthermore, a certain gap is always maintained between the air guide ring and the air blade, and the contact between the air blade and the air guide ring is avoided.

[0066] Since the motor bracket 2 is installed and fixed through three connecting structures, and better limiting and constraining can be achieved through the connecting member at the first connecting structure 22, and the overall fixed structure is stable and reliable. Therefore, the requirement for the material thickness of the motor bracket 2 can be reduced, that is, the material thickness of the motor bracket 2 can be appropriately thinned, thereby playing a role in reducing the overall cost.

[0067] In addition, since the problem that the motor bracket 2 is prone to displacement is avoided, the gap between the air guide ring and the air blade can be further reduced, thereby playing a role in improving the air volume and 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 limitations on 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.
