[0040] The following describes an air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] like Figures 1-11 As shown, the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a support frame 100 and a motor 210 assembly 200 .

[0042] The motor 210 assembly 200 includes a motor 210 and a mounting member 220. The mounting member 220 includes a connecting portion and a mounting portion, and the motor 210 is mounted on the mounting portion. The connecting portion is connected to the support frame 100, and the connecting portion is configured such that when the connecting portion is connected to the support frame 100, the mounting portion and the motor 210 are spaced apart from the support frame 100.

[0043] That is, the motor 210 is mounted on the support frame 100 via the mounting member 220, and the mounting member 220 is connected to the support frame 100 via the connecting portion. The connecting portion can separate the motor 210 and the mounting portion from the support frame 100 by a certain distance, so that the motor 210 and the mounting portion do not contact the support frame 100.

[0044] Compared with the related art, the air-conditioning indoor unit of the embodiment of the present invention installs the motor 210 on the support frame 100 through the mounting part 220, and the connecting part separates the motor 210 and the mounting part from the support frame 100 by a certain distance, thereby reducing the contact part between the motor 210 assembly 200 and the support frame 100, reducing the noise generated by the vibration of the motor 210 during operation, and thus improving the user experience.

[0045] In order to make the present application easier to understand, the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the present invention is further described below by taking the horizontal direction being consistent with the left-right direction and the vertical direction being consistent with the up-down direction as an example.

[0046] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 100 has a mounting end surface 110, and a mounting groove 120 for the motor 210 assembly 200 is provided on the mounting end surface 110. At least a portion of the motor 210 assembly 200 is located in the mounting groove 120. The mounting end surface 110 is also provided with a first mounting portion 130 and a second mounting portion 140, and the first mounting portion 130 and the second mounting portion 140 are spaced apart.

[0047] The connecting portion includes a first connecting portion 230 and a second connecting portion 240 . The first connecting portion 230 is snap-fitted with the first mounting portion 130 , and the second connecting portion 240 is fixedly connected with the second mounting portion 140 .

[0048] When installing the motor 210, first install the motor 210 on the mounting portion, then snap-fit the first connecting portion 230 to the first mounting portion 130, thereby positioning the motor 210 and the mounting member 220. Finally, the second connecting portion 240 is fixedly connected to the second mounting portion 140, so that the motor 210 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 100.

[0049] In other words, by snapping the first connecting portion 230 into engagement with the first mounting portion 130 and fixing the second connecting portion 240 to the second mounting portion 140, it is possible to achieve a situation where the motor 210 assembly 200 can be relatively stably mounted and fixed on the support frame 100 while a smaller portion of the motor 210 assembly 200 is in contact with the support frame 100. This reduces the noise generated by the vibration of the motor 210 during operation, providing a better user experience.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, one of the first connecting portion 230 and the first mounting portion 130 has a bent latch 131, and the other of the first connecting portion 230 and the first mounting portion 130 has a snap-fitting slot 250 that mates with the latch 131. In other words, the first connecting portion 230 has the bent latch 131 and the first mounting portion 130 has the snap-fitting slot 250; alternatively, the first connecting portion 230 has the bent snap-fitting slot 250 and the first mounting portion 130 has the snap-fitting slot 250. The snap-fitting engagement between the first connecting portion 230 and the first mounting portion 130 via the snap-fitting slot 250 and the snap-fitting slot 131 creates a simple structure and facilitates the manufacture of the mounting member 220.

[0051] For example Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the latch 131 on the first mounting portion 130 is bent upward, and the engaging groove 250 on the first connecting portion 230 is open downward. When the first connecting portion 230 and the first mounting portion 130 are mated, the first mounting portion 130 is engaged in the engaging groove 250 via the upwardly bent latch 131, thereby achieving a snap-fit engagement between the first connecting portion 230 and the first mounting portion 130.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, a mounting through hole 231 is provided on the second connecting portion 240, and a threaded hole 141 is provided on the second mounting portion 140. The second connecting portion 240 is configured so that when the snap member 131 cooperates with the snap-fit groove 250, the mounting through hole 231 corresponds to the threaded hole 141, and an internal thread is provided on the inner wall surface of the threaded hole 141.

[0053] The motor 210 assembly 200 further includes a threaded connector 260 (not shown). The threaded connector 260 includes a nut portion and a screw portion that are opposed to each other in the longitudinal direction thereof. The screw portion is provided with an external thread that mates with the internal thread of the threaded hole 141. The threaded connector 260 is connected to the mounting through-hole 231 and the threaded hole 141, so that the second connecting portion 240 is pressed against the second mounting portion 140 by the nut portion, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the second connecting portion 240 and the second mounting portion 140. Thus, the second connecting portion 240 and the second mounting portion 140 are connected by a threaded connection, which not only ensures a stable connection between the second connecting portion 240 and the second mounting portion 140, but also has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, there are two first connecting parts 230, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and two first mounting parts 130, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The two first connecting parts 230 are engaged with the two first mounting parts 130 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0055] There are two second connecting parts 240, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and two second mounting parts 140, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The two second connecting parts 240 are engaged with the two second mounting parts 140 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0056] In other words, the two first connecting parts 230 are snap-fitted with the two first mounting parts 130, and the two second connecting parts 240 are fixedly connected with the two second mounting parts 140. The force applied to the motor 210 assembly 200 in the left and right directions is more uniform, so that the motor 210 assembly 200 can be more stably installed on the support frame 100.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, the first connecting portion 230 on the left side is snap-connected to the first mounting portion 130, and the second connecting portion 240 on the left side is threadedly connected to the second mounting portion 140; the first connecting portion 230 on the right side is snap-connected to the first mounting portion 130, and the second connecting portion 240 on the left side is threadedly connected to the second mounting portion 140.

[0058] In other optional embodiments, the first connecting portion 230 on the left side is threadedly connected to the first mounting portion 130, and the second connecting portion 240 on the left side is snap-connected to the second mounting portion 140; the first connecting portion 230 on the right side is snap-connected to the first mounting portion 130, and the second connecting portion 240 on the left side is threadedly connected to the second mounting portion 140.

[0059] In some further optional embodiments, the first connecting portion 230 on the left is threadedly connected to the first mounting portion 130, and the second connecting portion 240 on the left is snap-connected to the second mounting portion 140; the first connecting portion 230 on the right is threadedly connected to the first mounting portion 130, and the second connecting portion 240 on the left is snap-connected to the second mounting portion 140.

[0060] In some further optional embodiments, the first connecting portion 230 on the left side is connected to the first mounting portion 130 by snapping, and the second connecting portion 240 on the left side is threadedly connected to the second mounting portion 140; the first connecting portion 230 on the right side is threadedly connected to the first mounting portion 130, and the second connecting portion 240 on the left side is connected to the second mounting portion 140 by snapping.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first connecting portion 230 and the second connecting portion 240 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the first mounting portion 130 and the second mounting portion 140 are spaced apart in the vertical direction. A positioning protrusion 150 is provided on the mounting end surface 110. The positioning protrusion 150 corresponds to the threaded hole 141 and has a limiting surface 151. The outer surface of the mounting portion includes a mating surface (not shown). The limiting surface 151 and the mating surface are opposed to each other in the vertical direction. The positioning protrusion 150 is configured such that when the limiting surface 151 and the mating surface contact, the threaded hole 141 and the mounting through-hole 231 correspond in the vertical direction.

[0062] When installing the mounting member 220 , the threaded hole 141 and the mounting through hole 231 can be aligned in the vertical direction by cooperating with the limiting surface 151 and the matching surface, so that the threaded hole 141 and the mounting through hole 231 can be fixed by the threaded connector 260 .

[0063] For example Figure 4 As shown, the positioning protrusion 150 is disposed below the threaded hole 141 , and the limiting surface 151 faces upward so as to correspond to the mating surface located on the lower surface of the mounting portion.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the positioning protrusion 150 also has a guide surface 152, which is connected to the limiting surface 151 and is inclined relative to the limiting surface 151. In other words, when installing the mounting member 220, the inclined guide surface 152 can first be matched with the mating surface, so that the mating surface contacts the guide surface 152, and then the guiding effect of the guide surface 152 can be used to slide the mating surface to a position that matches the limiting surface 151, thereby improving practicality. Figure 4 As shown, one end of the guide surface 152 away from the mounting end surface 110 is located below the other end thereof.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 6-Figure 9 As shown, the mounting member 220 includes a first casing 270 and a second casing 280. The first casing 270 and the second casing 280 are both arc-shaped and enclose a housing for mounting the motor 210. One end of the first casing 270 is connected to one end of the second casing 280 by a snap connection, and one end of the first casing 270 is threadedly connected to one end of the second casing 280. The first casing 270 and the second casing 280 are detachable, making it easy to remove the motor 210 installed between the first casing 270 and the second casing 280 from the first casing 270 and the second casing 280, thereby improving practicality.

[0066] Furthermore, the second casing 280 includes a first portion 281 and a second portion 282, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction. This reduces the material used in manufacturing the second casing 280 and the manufacturing cost of the mounting member 220. Furthermore, the separation of the first portion 281 and the second portion 282 increases the contact area between the motor 210 and the outside world, improving heat dissipation. The first casing 270 is positioned away from the mounting slot 120 relative to the second casing 280, allowing the mounting slot 120 and the first casing 270 to protect the motor 210.

[0067] Specifically, the upper end of the first portion 281 engages with a first slot 284 on the right end of the second portion 282 via a first hook 283, and the lower end of the first portion 281 engages with the right end of the second portion 282 via threads. The upper end of the second portion 282 engages with a second slot 286 on the left end of the second portion 282 via a second hook 285, and the lower end of the second portion 282 engages with the left end of the second portion 282 via threads.

[0068] In some embodiments, the motor 210 assembly 200 further includes a shock absorbing sleeve, which is disposed on the outside of the motor 210 and between the motor 210 and the mounting member 220. By disposing the shock absorbing sleeve between the motor 210 and the mounting member 220, the noise generated by the motor 210 during operation is further reduced.

[0069] Optionally, the shock-absorbing sleeve is made of rubber.

[0070] The air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention includes the air conditioner indoor unit of any one of the above embodiments.

[0071] The air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention has an air conditioning indoor unit that installs the motor 210 on the support frame 100 through the installation part 220, and the connecting part separates the motor 210 and the installation part from the support frame 100 by a certain distance, thereby reducing the contact part between the motor 210 component 200 and the support frame 100, reducing the noise generated by the vibration of the motor 210 during operation, and thus improving the user experience.

[0072] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or deduced from the contents disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
