Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, due to the limited height requirements of some roads, it is inconvenient to transport heat pump machines vertically and they need to be transported horizontally. Due to structural and functional reasons, the compressor needs to be better fixed and protected during horizontal transportation to avoid damage to the compressor. Since the compressor itself is relatively heavy, a more reliable fixing method is to fix both the lower and upper parts of the compressor to reduce the left and right vibration of the compressor, better protect the compressor and the compressor connecting pipeline from cracks and leakage caused by the compressor swing.

[0003] Some existing compressor mounting methods only secure the lower portion of the compressor, leaving the upper portion unsecured. Others secure both ends, but these solutions require a large number of materials, making assembly difficult during production. Furthermore, these existing solutions occupy a large space and easily block wind, which affects the evaporator's heat exchange efficiency and reduces the machine's energy efficiency. There is also the risk of damaging the evaporator during mounting, causing system leaks and impacting normal machine operation. Furthermore, existing compressor mounting methods are inflexible, unable to adjust angles according to actual use, lack practical functionality, and fail to accommodate horizontal transport of the machine.

[0029] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a compressor fixing structure, including a base plate 100, a compressor 200 and a fixing bracket 300. A foot seat 201 is provided at the bottom of the compressor 200, and the compressor 200 is installed on the base plate 100 through the foot seat 201. A sleeve 400 is provided on the top of the compressor 200, and the sleeve 400 is provided with a connecting seat extending radially outward along the sleeve 400. The fixing bracket 300 extends from a first end to a second end along the length direction. The first end of the fixing bracket 300 is connected to the base plate 100, and the second end of the fixing bracket 300 is inclined along the tangent direction of the sleeve 400 and connected to the connecting seat.

[0030] In the technical solution of the present invention, the first end of the fixing bracket 300 is connected to the base plate 100, and the second end of the fixing bracket 300 is connected to the connection seat of the hoop 400. The fixing bracket 300 is connected obliquely between the base plate 100 and the hoop 400 at the top of the compressor 200. The fixing bracket 300, the compressor 200, and the base plate 100 form a stable triangular force-bearing structure, which improves the fixing and stabilization effect of the compressor 200 and reduces the left and right (horizontal) vibration of the compressor 200, thereby preventing the compressor 200 connecting pipeline from cracking and leaking due to the swing of the compressor 200. Moreover, the embodiment of the present invention can simultaneously fix the lower and upper parts of the compressor 200, thereby enabling the machine to be transported horizontally, reducing transportation costs and enabling the machine to be transported horizontally.

[0031] Also, see Figure 4-Figure 7 The fixing bracket 300 is tilted along the tangential direction of the collar 400, allowing the fixing bracket 300 to be closer to the compressor 200. The entire fixing structure requires at least one fixing bracket 300, which can be positioned at different positions on the compressor 200 as needed. This provides more flexible installation and a more user-friendly fixing method, saving space, reducing the windshield range, and improving equipment efficiency. Furthermore, this design uses fewer materials, simplifies assembly, improves production efficiency, and saves costs.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The first and second ear seats 401, 402 are provided at both ends of the collar 400. The collar 400 is circumferentially mounted on the top of the compressor 200. The first and second ear seats 401, 402 are connected by fasteners 403 to form a connecting seat. The second end of the fixing bracket 300 is connected to the connecting seat by fasteners 403. In this embodiment, the collar 400 is circumferentially mounted on the top of the compressor 200. The installation direction of the first and second ear seats 401, 402 on the compressor 200 can be adjusted as needed, thereby making the installation of the fixing bracket 300 more flexible. Multiple angles can be adjusted according to actual assembly needs. Multiple installation solutions can be used to save space. Because less material is used and the bracket is close to the compressor 200, the corresponding strength is increased and the windshield area is reduced, thereby improving the assembly and use efficiency of the machine.

[0033] Further, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The first and second ear mounts 401 and 402 are provided with opposing first mounting holes 404. Fasteners 403 pass through these holes and secure the second end of the fixing bracket 300 to one side of the connecting base. Fasteners 403 can be screws, rivets, bolts, or the like. This novel and practical fixing method utilizes minimal materials and simplifies assembly, improving production efficiency and reducing costs.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , a first shock-absorbing pad 405 is connected in series between the connecting seat and the fixing bracket 300 on the fastener 403. The first shock-absorbing pad 405 is made of rubber, sponge or spring, and rubber, sponge and spring are all capable of absorbing vibration.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 3 The fixed bracket 300 includes an inclined bracket body 301. A first end plate 302 is provided at the first end of the fixed bracket 300, forming an angle with the bracket body 301. The first end plate 302 is parallel to the base plate 100 and has a second mounting hole for connection to the base plate 100. A second end plate 303 is provided at the second end of the fixed bracket 300, forming an angle with the bracket body 301 and parallel to the connecting base. In this embodiment, by providing end plates at both ends of the fixed bracket 300, it can better fit with the base plate 100 and the connecting base, improving connection stability and installation efficiency.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 1-Figure 3 The bracket body 301 is provided with a plurality of wiring holes 304, through which the cables of the compressor 200 can be routed and supported by the bracket body 301. While ensuring reliable strength, the bracket body 301 can both secure the compressor 200 and provide wiring, preventing the cables from being damaged during operation.

[0037] The fixing bracket 300 can be made of plastic or metal. In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The fixing bracket 300 includes a sheet-like metal strip, and the metal strip is provided with folded edges 305 on both sides of the bracket body 301, and the folded edges 305 avoid damaging the wire.

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The base plate 100 is provided with a raised compressor support platform 101. The compressor 200 is mounted on the compressor support platform 101 via feet 201. The base plate 100 forms a water collection area 102 in the outer area of ​​the compressor support platform 101. The compressor 200 is mounted on top of the compressor support platform 101, which prevents water in the water collection area 102 from entering the compressor 200, thereby improving equipment safety.

[0039] Further, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 A second shock-absorbing pad 202 is provided between the foot 201 and the compressor support platform 101. The second shock-absorbing pad 202 is made of rubber, sponge or spring, and rubber, sponge and spring are all capable of absorbing vibration.

[0040] The embodiment of the present utility model also provides a water heater, see Figure 4 The water heater includes a heat exchanger and a compressor fixing structure in any of the above embodiments. The heat exchanger is installed on the base plate 100 and is located on one side of the compressor 200. The compressor fixing structure can adjust the fixing angle according to actual use to reduce wind blocking, without affecting the normal use of the machine and improving the energy efficiency of the machine.
