Any embodiment described in this application as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] The embodiment of the present application provides a motor bracket 100, which can be applied to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner. Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the motor bracket 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes at least one support column 110, the support column 110 includes a first mounting portion 111 for mounting the motor 220 and connecting portions 112 respectively arranged at both ends of the first mounting portion 111, and the width of the connecting portion 112 is smaller than the width of the first mounting portion 111.

[0030] The motor bracket 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is configured to include a support column 110 including a connecting portion 112 and a first mounting portion 111, wherein the first mounting portion 111 is used to mount the motor 220, and the width of the connecting portion 112 is smaller than the width of the first mounting portion 111. Thus, while meeting the basic installation requirements of the motor 220, the windshield area of the support column 110 can be greatly reduced, the wind resistance can be reduced, and the air volume of the air conditioner outdoor unit can be increased, thereby improving the cooling / heating performance of the air conditioner.

[0031] Optionally, the number of support columns 110 can be one or more, which can be set according to the structural strength requirements. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the motor bracket 100 includes two support columns 110, which are opposite to each other and spaced apart. When installing the motor 220, the motor 220 can be made to span the two support columns 110 and connected to the first mounting portions 111 of the two support columns 110.

[0032] Optionally, the number of the first mounting portions 111 of each support column 110 can be one or more, and can be specifically set according to the number of motors 220 to be installed; when the support column 110 includes multiple first mounting portions 111, the multiple first mounting portions 111 are spaced apart along the length direction of the support column 110, and two adjacent first mounting portions 111 are connected by a connecting portion 112. For example, Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, each support column 110 includes two first mounting portions 111 and three connecting portions 112 , wherein one connecting portion 112 is connected between the two first mounting portions 111 , and the other two connecting portions 112 are respectively connected to one side of the two first mounting portions 111 away from each other.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the connection portion 112 includes a connection body 1121, a first folded edge 1122, and a second folded edge 1123. The first folded edge 1122 and the second folded edge 1123 are respectively provided on both sides of the connection body 1121 along the length direction of the support column 110, and the first folded edge 1122 is connected to the second folded edge 1123. By providing the connected first folded edge 1122 and the second folded edge 1123, the support column 110 can be narrowed (i.e., the windshield area of the support column 110 is reduced) while achieving a structural reinforcement effect.

[0034] Optionally, a first recessed platform 1124 is formed on the first folded edge 1122, recessed toward the second folded edge 1123. A second recessed platform 1125 is formed on the second folded edge 1123, recessed toward the first folded edge 1122. The bottom surface of the first recessed platform 1124 is aligned with and connected to the bottom surface of the second recessed platform 1125. By providing the first recessed platform 1124 and the second recessed platform 1125, the support cross section formed by the connecting body 1121, the first folded edge 1122, and the second folded edge 1123 is formed into a triangular shape, thereby further enhancing the structural stability of the support column 110.

[0035] Optionally, a plurality of first sinks 1124 are provided on the first folded edge 1122, and a plurality of second sinks 1125 are provided on the second folded edge 1123. The plurality of first sinks 1124 are connected to the plurality of second sinks 1125 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the connected first sinks 1124 and second sinks 1125 are at the same height. In this embodiment, the bottom surfaces of the first sink 1124 and the second sink 1125 at the same height are attached and welded, for example, they can be connected by a butt welding process, and the welding point is located on the bottom surface of the first sink 1124. In other embodiments, the bottom surface of the first sink 1124 and the bottom surface of the second sink 1125 can also be connected by bonding or other methods, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0036] Optionally, the first fold edge 1122 and the second fold edge 1123 are formed by bending the two side edges of the connecting body 1121 backward, that is, the two side edges of the connecting body 1121 are bent backward to form the first fold edge 1122 and the second fold edge 1123 respectively, thereby making the connecting part 112 easier to process.

[0037] Optionally, the connection between the connecting body 1121 and the first folding edge 1122 and the second folding edge 1123 is provided with an avoidance notch 1126, that is, the connection between the connecting body 1121 and the first folding edge 1122 is provided with an avoidance notch 1126, and the connection between the connecting body 1121 and the second folding edge 1123 is also provided with an avoidance notch 1126. This arrangement is convenient for bending the mold, and can avoid interference with the first sink 1124 and the second sink 1125 during material withdrawal, resulting in the inability to form a normal molding. Specifically, after bending and molding, the position of the avoidance notch 1126 can be argon arc welded to connect the connecting body 1121 with the first folding edge 1122 and the second folding edge 1123, so that the structural strength requirements can be met while reducing the windshield area without the need for additional connectors.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the first mounting portion 111 includes a mounting body 1111, a third folded edge 1112, and a fourth folded edge 1113. The third folded edge 1112 and the fourth folded edge 1113 are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting body 1111 along the length direction of the support column 110. By providing the connected third folded edge 1112 and the fourth folded edge 1113, the support column 110 can be narrowed (i.e., the windshield area of the support column 110 is reduced) while achieving a structural reinforcement effect.

[0039] Optionally, the third fold edge 1112 and the fourth fold edge 1113 are formed by bending the two side edges of the installation body 1111 backward, that is, the two side edges of the installation body 1111 are bent backward to form the third fold edge 1112 and the fourth fold edge 1113 respectively, so that the first installation part 111 is easier to process.

[0040] Optionally, the width of the first mounting portion 111 is greater than or equal to 20 mm, and the width of the connecting portion 112 is less than or equal to 15 mm. It is understood that by setting the width of the first mounting portion 111 to be greater than or equal to 20 mm, the first mounting portion 111 has greater structural strength, thereby allowing the motor 220 to be more stably mounted on the first mounting portion 111; and by setting the width of the connecting portion 112 to be less than or equal to 15 mm, the windshield area can be minimized while meeting support requirements.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, support column 110 is a sheet metal part, which refers to a metal part that can be processed by means such as stamping, bending, and stretching. Using sheet metal as support column 110 makes support column 110 easier to process, allowing it to be constructed from a single sheet metal part at a low cost, reducing processing costs while also ensuring basic strength requirements. Of course, in other embodiments, support column 110 can also be made of other materials, such as plastic (e.g., PVC), and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the motor bracket 100 further includes a bottom plate 120 and a top plate 130, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the support column 110. By disposing the bottom plate 120 and the top plate 130 at both ends of the support column 110, the motor bracket 100 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the casing of the air conditioner outdoor unit via the top plate 130 and the bottom plate 120, respectively, thereby making the connection between the motor bracket 100 and the casing of the air conditioner outdoor unit more stable and reducing the shaking of the motor bracket 100 that may occur when the motor 220 is running.

[0043] Optionally, a second mounting portion 113 is further provided at both ends of the support column 110, wherein the second mounting portion 113 at one end is connected to the top plate 130, and the second mounting portion 113 at the other end is connected to the bottom plate 120, so as to realize the connection between the support column 110 and the top plate 130 and the bottom plate 120.

[0044] It should be noted that the top plate 130 and the bottom plate 120 are connected to the motor bracket 100 through the connection holes on the motor bracket 100. The connection method can be threaded connection, for example, they can be directly fixed by screws, or connected and fixed by bolts and nuts.

[0045] The present application also provides an air conditioner outdoor unit, comprising a fan and a motor bracket 100. The specific structure of the motor bracket 100 is similar to that of the above-described embodiment. The fan comprises blades 210 and a motor 220 for rotating the blades 210. The motor 220 is mounted on the first mounting portion 111 of the motor bracket 100. Specifically, when the air conditioner outdoor unit is in operation, the motor 220 rotates the blades 210. The rotating blades 210 drive air flow, generating a wind field. The air passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 300 from the rear side to the front side of the air conditioner indoor unit to undergo heat exchange.

[0046] Since the air-conditioning outdoor unit adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0047] Optionally, the air conditioner outdoor unit further includes at least one motor base 230, each motor base 230 being detachably connected to the first mounting portion 111 of the motor bracket 100, so as to fix the motor 220 through the motor base 230 and realize the connection between the motor 220 and the motor bracket 100. The motor base 230 is provided with a portion connected to the motor bracket 100 and a portion connected to the motor 220. When the model or shape of the motor 220 is not convenient for direct installation on the motor bracket 100, the connection between the motor 220 and the motor base 230 can be realized by changing the size or shape of the portion connected to the motor 220. By adjusting the corresponding positions and angles of the portion connected to the motor bracket 100 and the portion connected to the motor 220, the orientation and position of the motor 220 relative to the motor bracket 100 can be changed, thereby making the arrangement of the motor 220 more flexible according to the actual air duct.

[0048] It should be noted that the connection between the motor base 230 and the motor bracket 100 can be a threaded connection, for example, they can be directly fixed by screws, or fixed by bolts and nuts.

[0049] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0050] The above is a detailed introduction to the motor bracket and air-conditioning outdoor unit provided in the embodiments of the present application.
