[0003] When assembling compressors of different sizes, first, positioning holes corresponding to the matching holes of the compressor are formed on the bottom plate according to different compressors. The positioning holes are used to position the fixing part, and then the fixing part is welded to the bottom plate. Generally, there are multiple positioning holes, and the center of the circle formed by the multiple positioning holes is coaxial with the axis of the compressor. The multiple positioning holes are formed by punching with a punching die at one time. Since different sizes of compressors result in different diameters of the concentric circles where the fixing parts are distributed on the bottom plate, multiple bottom plate punching dies are required for assembling compressors of different sizes, resulting in high costs. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a support structure and an air conditioner unit thereof, aiming to solve the technical problem of high costs caused by the need to replace punching dies when assembling compressors of different sizes in the related art.

[0005] To solve the above problems, according to one aspect of the present application, an embodiment of the utility model provides a support structure for installing a compressor. The support structure includes a bottom plate and a fixing part. The compressor is arranged on one side of the bottom plate. A guiding groove extending along the radial direction of the compressor is formed on the bottom plate. One end of the fixing part is connected to the compressor, and the other end of the fixing part is locked to the side of the bottom plate away from the compressor through the guiding groove.

[0006] In some embodiments, a locking protrusion is formed at the other end of the fixing part, and a first through hole is formed at the guiding groove, which can enable the locking protrusion to penetrate from one side of the bottom plate to the other side, so that the locking protrusion is locked to the side of the bottom plate away from the compressor.

[0007] In some embodiments, in the width direction of the guiding groove, the maximum width of the fixing part is less than the width of the guiding groove, and the minimum width of the locking protrusion is greater than the width of the guiding groove.

[0008] In some embodiments, in the radial direction of the first through hole, the maximum width of the locking protrusion is less than the diameter of the first through hole.

[0009] In some embodiments, the support structure further includes a fixing plate disposed on a side of the bottom plate away from the compressor, and the locking protrusion is clamped between the fixing plate and the bottom plate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the support structure further includes a first locking member;

[0011] A second through hole is formed in the bottom plate, a first locking hole is formed in the fixing plate, and the first locking member is locked with the first locking hole through the second through hole; and / or,

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the support structure of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a support structure for installing a compressor. The support structure includes a bottom plate and a fixing member. The compressor is disposed on one side of the bottom plate, and the compressor is generally fixed above the bottom plate. A guiding groove extending in the radial direction of the compressor is formed in the bottom plate of the present invention. By connecting one end of the fixing member to the compressor and locking the other end of the fixing member to a side of the bottom plate away from the compressor through the guiding groove, the compressor is fixed above the bottom plate. Since the fixing member can move in the guiding groove during assembly, the support structure of the present invention can be applied to the assembly of compressors of different sizes, and only a bottom plate punching die with a guiding groove needs to be manufactured, which reduces the manufacturing cost. At the same time, when assembling the compressor, the fixing member can be moved to make it easier to align with the mating hole of the compressor, improving the assembly efficiency.

[0039] To further elaborate on the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following combines the drawings and preferred embodiments to detail the specific implementation manners, structures, features, and effects of the application according to the present invention. In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "embodiment" does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, the specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be clear that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence; the terms "vertical", "lateral", "longitudinal", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", "down", "horizontal", etc. indicate the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, rather than meaning that the indicated device or element must have a specific orientation or position, so it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present invention.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0042] As Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, when the compressor 10 is installed in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner during air conditioner assembly, first weld the fixing member 2 to the air conditioner bottom plate 1, and then insert the compressor 10 into the fixing member 2.

[0043] However, when assembling compressors of different sizes, first drill positioning holes corresponding to the mating holes of the compressor 10 on the bottom plate 1 according to different compressors 10. The positioning holes are used to position the fixing member 2, and then weld the fixing member 2 to the bottom plate 1. Generally, there are multiple positioning holes. The center of the circle formed by the multiple positioning holes is coaxial with the axis of the compressor 10. The multiple positioning holes are formed by punching with a punching die at one time. Since different sizes of compressors 10 result in different diameters of the circles concentric with the compressor 10 on which the fixing member 2 is distributed on the bottom plate 1, when assembling with compressors of different sizes, multiple bottom plate punching dies are required, resulting in a high cost.

[0044] In addition, when assembling the compressor 10, the mating holes of the compressor 10 are not easily aligned with the fixing member 2, and the assembly efficiency is low.

The support structure includes a bottom plate 1 and a fixing member 2. The compressor 10 is disposed on one side of the bottom plate 1. A guiding groove 11 extending along the radial direction of the compressor 10 is formed on the bottom plate 1. One end of the fixing member 2 is connected to the compressor 10, and the other end of the fixing member 2 is locked to the side of the bottom plate 1 away from the compressor 10 via the guiding groove 11.

[0047] In this embodiment, the support structure is used to install the compressor 10. The support structure includes a bottom plate 1 and a fixing member 2. The compressor 10 is disposed on one side of the bottom plate 1. Generally, the compressor 10 is fixed above the bottom plate 1. A guiding groove 11 extending along the radial direction of the compressor 10 is formed on the bottom plate 1 of this embodiment. By connecting one end of the fixing member 2 to the compressor 10 and locking the other end of the fixing member 2 to the side of the bottom plate 1 away from the compressor 10 via the guiding groove 11, the compressor 10 is fixed above the bottom plate 1. Since the fixing member 2 can move in the guiding groove 11 during assembly, the support structure of this embodiment can be applied to the assembly of compressors 10 of different sizes. Only the bottom plate punching die with the guiding groove 11 needs to be manufactured, reducing the manufacturing cost. At the same time, when assembling the compressor 10, the fixing member 2 can be moved to make it easier to align with the mating holes of the compressor 10, improving the assembly efficiency.
