Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of dishwasher technology, and more specifically, to a motor mounting device and a dishwasher. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society, dishwashers are gradually becoming a common household appliance. Dishwashers typically use a motor to drive a water pump, which pumps cleaning fluid through a tubing to the nozzles, thus cleaning the dishes inside the washing chamber.
[0003] In related technical fields, motors are generally mounted on the side walls or back of the base via motor brackets, resulting in a relatively fixed installation position for the motor. However, due to different layout requirements, the installation position of the water pump can vary considerably. Since the motor's position is relatively fixed, multiple transmission structures are needed to achieve the transmission connection between the motor and the water pump, which leads to poor stability in the connection between the motor and the water pump. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a motor mounting device and a dishwasher, which allows the mounting structure to be set at any position on the base, thereby allowing the motor to be set at any position on the base so that the output shaft of the motor is close to the water pump. This reduces the transmission structure between the output shaft of the motor and the water pump, thereby improving the connection stability between the output shaft of the motor and the water pump.
[0005] This application provides a motor mounting device suitable for dishwashers. The motor mounting device includes a base and a mounting structure. The base has a bottom surface. The mounting structure is at least connected to the bottom surface. Along the height direction, the projection of the mounting structure onto the plane of the bottom surface is located within the bottom surface. The motor is connected to the mounting structure.
[0006] Based on the above embodiments, since the projection of the mounting structure onto the plane containing the bottom surface lies within the bottom surface along the height direction, the mounting structure can be placed at any position on the base. This allows the motor to be placed at any position on the base, facilitating the proximity of the motor's output shaft to the water pump. Consequently, the transmission structure between the motor's output shaft and the water pump can be reduced, improving the connection stability between them. Furthermore, the mounting structure can be positioned at corresponding locations on the base according to the different locations of the water pump, ensuring a stable connection between the motor's output shaft and the water pump, thus expanding the overall applicability of the motor mounting device.
[0007] In some embodiments, the base also has a side surface connected to the bottom surface, and the mounting structure is spaced apart from or connected to the side surface.
[0008] Based on the above embodiments, the mounting structure is spaced apart from the side to allow for selection of the mounting structure's position on the bottom surface according to the motor's installation location. This ensures the motor is as close to the water pump as possible, facilitating connection between the motor and water pump and improving connection stability. Furthermore, the spaced-apart arrangement between the mounting structure and the side reduces the space occupied by the mounting structure within the base, thereby reducing the overall size of the motor mounting device and consequently, the size of the dishwasher.
[0009] In other embodiments, the mounting structure is connected to the side, which can increase the connection stability between the mounting structure and the base, thereby improving the connection stability between the motor and the base, and thus improving the connection stability between the motor and the water pump. This facilitates the motor driving the water pump to work, allowing the water pump to pump cleaning fluid to the nozzle through the infusion pipe, and then the cleaning fluid can be used to clean the tableware in the washing chamber.
[0010] In some embodiments, the base also has a side surface connected to the bottom surface, and the mounting structure includes a mounting base and a reinforcing rib. The mounting base is connected to the bottom surface and to the motor; the reinforcing rib is connected to both the mounting base and the side surface.
[0011] Based on the above embodiments, by using reinforcing ribs to connect the mounting base and the side, the mounting structure is connected to both the bottom and the side, which can improve the connection stability between the mounting structure and the base, thereby improving the connection stability between the motor and the base, and thus improving the connection stability between the motor and the water pump.
[0012] In some embodiments, the mounting structure further includes a first mounting member and a second mounting member, the first mounting member being connected to a mounting base; the second mounting member being connected to the first mounting member and to a motor.
[0013] Based on the above embodiments, the motor can be installed by connecting the mounting component to the mounting base and by connecting the second mounting component to the first mounting component and the motor.
[0014] In some embodiments, the mounting base includes a base body, a first snap-fit assembly, and a second snap-fit assembly. The base body is connected to a bottom surface, and the side of the base body opposite to the reinforcing rib has a mounting surface. The first snap-fit assembly is disposed on the mounting surface and has a first snap-fit space. At least a portion of the first mounting member is located in the first snap-fit space. The first snap-fit assembly is used to restrict the movement of the first mounting member along a first direction, which is perpendicular to the mounting surface. The second snap-fit assembly is disposed on the mounting surface and spaced apart from the first snap-fit assembly. It also has a second snap-fit space. At least a portion of the first mounting member is located in the second snap-fit space. The second snap-fit assembly is used to restrict the movement of the first mounting member along a second direction, which is parallel to the mounting surface.
[0015] Based on the above embodiments, the first mounting component and the base body can be connected by the first snap-fit component and the second snap-fit component, thereby restricting the first mounting component from detaching from the base body in the first direction and the second direction, so as to improve the connection stability between the first mounting component and the base body, and thus improve the connection stability between the motor and the base body.
[0016] In some embodiments, the first mounting member includes a body portion and two first snap-fit portions, the body portion being connected to the second mounting member; the two first snap-fit portions are disposed on the side of the body portion away from the second mounting member, and are respectively disposed on both sides of the body portion; the first snap-fit assembly includes two first snap-fit members, both of which extend along a second direction, and the two first snap-fit members are opposite to each other and spaced apart; wherein, a first snap-fit space is formed between each first snap-fit member and the mounting surface.
[0017] Based on the above embodiments, when installing the first mounting component, the first snap-fit portion can be aligned with the snap-fit space, and the main body portion can be moved along the second direction so that the main body portion drives the first snap-fit portion to move into the snap-fit space until the first snap-fit portion snaps into the snap-fit space. Thus, the first snap-fit component and the mounting surface can be used to restrict the movement of the first snap-fit portion along the first direction, thereby restricting the first mounting component from detaching from the mounting base along the first direction. The second snap-fit component can also be used to restrict the first mounting component from detaching from the mounting base along the second direction, thereby achieving the connection between the first mounting component and the base body.
[0018] In some embodiments, the first snap-fit assembly further includes a reinforcement member that is connected to the first snap-fit member and the mounting surface.
[0019] Based on the above embodiments, the reinforcement can improve the structural strength of the connection between the first snap-fit member and the mounting surface, thereby improving the connection stability between the first mounting member and the base body through the first snap-fit assembly, and further improving the connection stability between the motor and the mounting base.
[0020] In some embodiments, the first snap-fit assembly further includes an abutment member disposed on the mounting surface and extending along a second direction. The abutment member is disposed within the first snap-fit space and spaced apart from the first snap-fit member. The abutment member abuts against the first mounting member.
[0021] Based on the above embodiments, after the first latching part is latched into the first latching space, the abutting member can abut against the side of the first mounting member facing the abutting surface, thereby increasing the tightness of the connection between the first mounting member and the first latching space, thereby reducing the probability of the first mounting member disengaging from the first latching space, and improving the connection stability between the first mounting member and the base body.
[0022] In some embodiments, the first mounting member further includes an abutment portion disposed on the first snap-fit portion and extending along a second direction, the abutment portion being used to abut against the inner wall of the first snap-fit space.
[0023] Based on the above embodiments, after the first latching part is latched into the first latching space, the abutting part can abut against the inner wall of the first latching space to increase the tightness of the connection between the first mounting part and the first latching space, thereby reducing the probability of the first mounting part detaching from the first latching space and improving the connection stability between the first mounting part and the base body.
[0024] In some embodiments, the first mounting member further includes a second snap-fit portion, which is disposed on the side of the first snap-fit portion away from the second mounting member and protrudes from the first snap-fit portion; the base body has a relief groove, which is disposed on the mounting surface; the second snap-fit assembly includes an elastic member and a second snap-fit member, one end of the elastic member is connected to the base body and is disposed corresponding to the relief groove; the second snap-fit member is connected to the other end of the elastic member and is disposed corresponding to the relief groove; the second snap-fit member can drive the elastic member to deform into the relief groove; the second snap-fit member has a snap-fit surface facing the first snap-fit member, and a second snap-fit space is formed between the snap-fit surface and the first snap-fit member; at least the second snap-fit portion is disposed in the second snap-fit space.
[0025] Based on the above embodiments, the movable body portion can drive the first latching portion to move in the first latching space along the second direction, and drive the second latching portion to move into the second latching space until the second latching portion is latched into the second latching space. This utilizes the latching surface and the first latching member to restrict the second latching portion from disengaging from the seat body in the second direction, thereby further improving the connection stability between the first mounting member and the mounting base.
[0026] In some embodiments, the second snap-fit member further has a first inclined surface facing away from the snap-fit surface. The first inclined surface is used to abut against the body portion so that the second snap-fit member drives the elastic member to deform into the clearance groove. The body portion has a clearance hole, and the first inclined surface can abut against the hole wall of the clearance hole so as to push the second snap-fit member to drive the elastic member to deform into the clearance groove.
[0027] Based on the above embodiments, when installing the first mounting component, the first mounting component is first moved so that the second snap-fit component passes through the clearance hole. The first mounting component is then moved along the second direction so that the first snap-fit portion can move along the first snap-fit space until the first inclined surface abuts against the wall of the clearance hole. The first mounting component continues to move along the first snap-fit space, and the wall of the clearance hole pushes the first inclined surface so that the second snap-fit component moves into the clearance groove, causing the elastic element to deform until the first mounting component passes the second snap-fit component. The elastic deformation of the elastic element recovers, causing the second snap-fit component to move until the snap-fit surface abuts against the first mounting component. This allows the second snap-fit portion to be snapped into the second snap-fit space and prevents the first snap-fit portion from disengaging from the first snap-fit space in the second direction, thereby achieving the connection between the first mounting component and the base body.
[0028] In some embodiments, the first mounting member further includes an annular protrusion that protrudes from the body portion and surrounds the periphery of the clearance hole.
[0029] Based on the above embodiments, the annular protrusion can increase the structural strength of the hole wall of the clearance hole, reduce the probability of damage to the hole wall of the clearance hole, so that the hole wall of the clearance hole can have a longer service life, and thus the first mounting component can have a longer service life.
[0030] In some embodiments, the first mounting member has a mounting hole, and the second mounting member has a positioning post that is inserted into the mounting hole.
[0031] Based on the above embodiments, by inserting the positioning pin into the mounting hole, the assembly of the second mounting component and the first mounting component can be achieved.
[0032] In some embodiments, the positioning post has a slot, and the wall of the mounting hole engages with the slot.
[0033] Based on the above embodiments, after the positioning post is inserted into the mounting hole, the hole wall of the mounting hole is engaged in the slot, which can reduce the probability of the second mounting part detaching from the first mounting part, thereby improving the connection stability between the second mounting part and the first mounting part, and thus improving the installation stability of the motor.
[0034] In some embodiments, the positioning post is a flexible post, and the positioning post further includes a second inclined surface, which is used to abut against the wall of the mounting hole and to guide the wall of the mounting hole to engage in the slot.
[0035] Based on the above embodiments, when connecting the second mounting component to the first mounting component, the second mounting component can be moved first until the positioning post is aligned with the mounting hole. Moving the second mounting component along the axis of the mounting hole allows the second inclined surface to abut against the wall of the mounting hole. Continuing to move the second mounting component along the axis of the mounting hole causes the wall of the mounting hole to press against the second inclined surface, resulting in elastic deformation of the positioning post. When the wall of the mounting hole is aligned with the slot, the elastic deformation of the positioning post recovers, thereby engaging the wall of the mounting hole in the slot, thus achieving the installation between the first mounting component and the second mounting component.
[0036] In some embodiments, the second mounting member has a positioning groove, the first mounting member is embedded in the positioning groove, and the positioning post is disposed at the bottom of the positioning groove.
[0037] Based on the above embodiments, after the wall of the mounting hole is engaged with the slot, the first mounting member is embedded in the positioning groove. The positioning groove increases the contact area between the first and second mounting members, thereby improving the connection stability between them. Furthermore, since the first mounting member is embedded in the positioning groove, the positioning groove restricts the rotation of the second mounting member relative to the first mounting member, thus preventing the motor from rotating relative to the first mounting member. This improves the connection stability between the motor and the first mounting member, and consequently, the connection stability between the motor and the water pump.
[0038] In some embodiments, the second mounting element is a flexible element.
[0039] Based on the above embodiments, since the second mounting component is a flexible component, it can deform when the motor vibrates to absorb the motor vibration, prevent the motor vibration from being transmitted to the first mounting component, and further prevent the motor vibration from being transmitted to the base, thereby reducing the probability of the base vibrating and generating vibration noise, and improving the user experience.
[0040] In some embodiments, the second mounting member has a mounting sleeve, and the motor has a mounting post that can be inserted into the mounting sleeve.
[0041] Based on the above embodiments, the motor and the second mounting component are installed by inserting the mounting post into the mounting sleeve, thereby enabling the assembly of the motor and the first mounting component.
[0042] This application also provides a dishwasher, including a body and a motor mounting device, with the base connected to the body.
[0043] Based on the motor mounting device of this application, since the projection of the mounting structure onto the plane of the bottom surface along the height direction lies within the bottom surface, the mounting structure can be set at any position on the base, thereby allowing the motor to be set at any position on the base. This facilitates the placement of the motor's output shaft close to the water pump, reducing the transmission structure between the motor's output shaft and the water pump, and improving the connection stability between the motor's output shaft and the water pump. Furthermore, the mounting structure can be set at the corresponding position on the base according to different water pump locations, ensuring a stable connection between the motor's output shaft and the water pump, thus expanding the overall applicability of the motor mounting device.

Detailed Implementation
[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a dishwasher 1, which includes a body 11 and a motor mounting device 2.
[0058] The body 11 includes a washing chamber (not shown in the figure), a nozzle (not shown in the figure), an infusion pipe (not shown in the figure), and a water pump (not shown in the figure). The nozzle is located inside the washing chamber. The infusion pipe connects the water pump and the nozzle. The water pump is used to pump cleaning liquid to the nozzle through the infusion pipe. The cleaning liquid is sprayed out through the nozzle, thereby cleaning the tableware placed in the washing chamber.
[0059] The motor mounting device 2 includes a base 21, a mounting structure 3, and a motor 4. The base 21 is connected to the body 11 to support it. The output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to a water pump to drive the pump, allowing it to pump cleaning fluid through a delivery pipe to the nozzles, thus cleaning the tableware in the washing chamber. The motor 4 is connected to the mounting structure 3, and the mounting structure 3 is connected to the base 21 to achieve the connection between the base 21 and the motor 4.
[0060] In related technologies, the mounting structure 3 is generally installed on the side walls or bottom surface 21A around the base 21, resulting in a relatively fixed installation position of the motor 4. However, due to different layout requirements, the installation position of the water pump can vary greatly. Since the position of the motor 4 is relatively fixed, more transmission structures are needed to realize the transmission connection between the motor 4 and the water pump, resulting in poor connection stability between the motor 4 and the water pump.
[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the base 21 has a bottom surface 21A, and the mounting structure 3 is at least connected to the bottom surface 21A. Along the height direction, the projection of the mounting structure 3 onto the plane where the bottom surface 21A is located is within the bottom surface 21A.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, since the projection of the mounting structure 3 onto the plane of the bottom surface 21A along the height direction is within the bottom surface 21A, the mounting structure 3 can be placed at any position on the base 21. This allows the motor 4 to be placed at any position on the base 21, facilitating the proximity of the motor 4's output shaft to the water pump. This reduces the need for a separate transmission structure between the motor 4's output shaft and the water pump, thereby improving the connection stability between them. Furthermore, the mounting structure 3 can be placed at corresponding positions on the base 21 according to the location of the water pump, ensuring a stable connection between the motor 4's output shaft and the water pump, thus expanding the overall applicability of the motor mounting device 2.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the base 21 also has a side surface 21B connected to the bottom surface 21A. The mounting structure 3 is spaced apart from the side surface 21B to allow the position of the mounting structure 3 on the bottom surface 21A to be selected according to the installation position of the motor 4. This allows the motor 4 to be as close as possible to the water pump, facilitating the connection between the motor 4 and the water pump and improving the stability of the connection. Furthermore, the space occupied by the mounting structure 3 within the base 21 is reduced due to the space spacing between the mounting structure 3 and the side surface 21B, thereby reducing the overall volume of the motor mounting device 2 and thus the volume of the dishwasher 1.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 In another embodiment, the base 21 also has a side 21B connected to the bottom surface 21A. The mounting structure 3 is connected to the side 21B, which can increase the connection stability between the mounting structure 3 and the base 21, thereby improving the connection stability between the motor 4 and the base 21, and thus improving the connection stability between the motor 4 and the water pump. This makes it easier for the motor 4 to drive the water pump to work, so that the water pump can pump the cleaning liquid to the nozzle through the liquid delivery pipe, and then the cleaning liquid can be used to clean the tableware in the washing chamber.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 2Specifically, the mounting structure 3 includes a mounting base 31 and a reinforcing rib 32. The mounting base 31 is connected to the bottom surface 21A and to the motor 4. The reinforcing rib 32 is connected to both the mounting base 31 and the side surface 21B, thereby connecting the mounting structure 3 to both the bottom surface 21A and the side surface 21B. This improves the connection stability between the mounting structure 3 and the base 21, which in turn improves the connection stability between the motor 4 and the base 21, thus enhancing the connection stability between the motor 4 and the water pump.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 2 It is understandable that both the base 21 and the mounting base 31 can be made of plastic. The base 21 and the mounting base 31 can be molded into one piece through a secondary injection molding process, which can improve the structural strength of the connection between the mounting base 31 and the base 21, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the motor 4 and the mounting base 31. Furthermore, since the base 21 and the mounting base 31 can be molded into one piece through secondary injection molding, the position of the mounting base 31 mold can be moved arbitrarily on the base 21 mold. This allows the mounting base 31 to be placed at any position on the base 21, enabling the motor 4 to be placed at any position on the base 21. This facilitates the proximity of the motor 4's output shaft to the water pump, thereby reducing the transmission structure between the motor 4's output shaft and the water pump, and improving the connection stability between the motor 4's output shaft and the water pump.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 It is understandable that the reinforcing rib 32 can also be integrally formed with the base 21 and the mounting base 31 through a secondary injection molding process to improve the connection stability between the reinforcing rib 32 and the base 21 and the mounting base 31, thereby improving the connection stability between the base 21 and the mounting base 31.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the mounting structure 3 further includes a first mounting member 33 and a second mounting member 34. The first mounting member 33 is connected to the mounting base 31; the second mounting member 34 is connected to the first mounting member 33 and to the motor 4. The mounting member is connected to the mounting base 21, and the second mounting member 34 connects the first mounting member 33 and the motor 4, thereby enabling the installation of the motor 4.
[0069] It is understood that the connection method between the first mounting component 33 and the mounting base 31 includes at least one of screw connection, adhesive connection, and snap-fit connection. In other embodiments, the first mounting component 33 and the mounting base 31 can also be connected in other ways. In this embodiment, the connection method between the first mounting component 33 and the mounting base 31 is not limited. It is understood that the connection method between the second mounting component 34 and the first mounting component 33 includes at least one of screw connection, adhesive connection, and snap-fit connection. In other embodiments, the second mounting component 34 and the first mounting component 33 can also be connected in other ways. In this embodiment, the connection method between the second mounting component 34 and the first mounting component 33 is not limited. It is understood that the connection method between the second mounting component 34 and the motor 4 includes at least one of screw connection, adhesive connection, and snap-fit connection. In other embodiments, the second mounting component 34 and the motor 4 can also be connected in other ways. In this embodiment, the connection method between the second mounting component 34 and the motor 4 is not limited.
[0070] Please refer to Figure 2-4 In one embodiment, the mounting base 31 includes a base body 311, a first snap-fit component 312, and a second snap-fit component 313. The base body 311 is connected to the bottom surface 21A, and the side of the base body 311 facing away from the reinforcing rib 32 has a mounting surface 311A. The first snap-fit component 312 is disposed on the mounting surface 311A and has a first snap-fit space 312A. At least a portion of the first mounting member 33 is located in the first snap-fit space 312A. The first snap-fit component 312 is used to restrict the first mounting member 33 from moving along a first direction X, which is perpendicular to the mounting surface 311A. The second snap-fit component 313 is disposed on the mounting surface 311A and spaced apart from the first snap-fit component 312. It also has a second snap-fit space 313A. At least a portion of the first mounting member 33 is located in the second snap-fit space 313A. The second snap-fit component 313 is used to restrict the first mounting member 33 from moving along a second direction Y, which is parallel to the mounting surface 311A. The first mounting component 33 can be connected to the base body 311 using the first snap-fit component 312 and the second snap-fit component 313, thereby restricting the first mounting component 33 from detaching from the base body 311 in the first direction X and the second direction Y, so as to improve the connection stability between the first mounting component 33 and the base body 311, and thus improve the connection stability between the motor 4 and the base body 311.
[0071] Please refer to Figure 4-6In one embodiment, the first mounting member 33 includes a body portion 331 and two first snap-fit portions 332. The body portion 331 is connected to the second mounting member 34. The two first snap-fit portions 332 are disposed on the side of the body portion 331 away from the second mounting member 34, and are respectively disposed on both sides of the body portion 331. The first snap-fit assembly 312 includes two first snap-fit members 3121. Both first snap-fit members 3121 extend along the second direction Y, and the two first snap-fit members 3121 are opposite to each other and spaced apart. A first snap-fit space 312A is formed between each first snap-fit member 3121 and the mounting surface 311A.
[0072] When installing the first mounting member 33, the first snap-fit portion 332 can be aligned with the snap-fit space, and the main body portion 331 can be moved along the second direction Y, so that the main body portion 331 drives the first snap-fit portion 332 to move into the snap-fit space until the first snap-fit portion 332 snaps into the snap-fit space. Thus, the first snap-fit portion 332 can be restricted to move along the first direction X by the first snap-fit member 3121 and the mounting surface 311A, thereby restricting the first mounting member 33 from disengaging from the mounting base 31 along the first direction X. The second snap-fit component 313 can also restrict the first mounting member 33 from disengaging from the mounting base 31 along the second direction Y, thereby achieving the connection between the first mounting member 33 and the base body 311.
[0073] Please refer to Figure 4-6 In one embodiment, the first snap-fit assembly 312 further includes a reinforcing member 3122, which is connected to the first snap-fit member 3121 and the mounting surface 311A. The reinforcing member 3122 can improve the structural strength of the connection between the first snap-fit member 3121 and the mounting surface 311A, thereby improving the connection stability between the first mounting member 33 and the base body 311 through the first snap-fit assembly 312, and further improving the connection stability between the motor 4 and the mounting base 31.
[0074] Please refer to Figure 4-6 In one embodiment, the first snap-fit assembly 312 further includes an abutment 3123. The abutment 3123 is disposed on the mounting surface 311A and extends along the second direction Y. The abutment 3123 is disposed within the first snap-fit space 312A and spaced apart from the first snap-fit member 3121. The abutment 3123 abuts against the first mounting member 33. After the first snap-fit portion 332 is snapped into the first snap-fit space 312A, the abutment 3123 can abut against the side of the first mounting member 33 facing the abutment surface, thereby increasing the tightness of the connection between the first mounting member 33 and the first snap-fit space 312A. This can reduce the probability of the first mounting member 33 disengaging from the first snap-fit space 312A, thereby improving the connection stability between the first mounting member 33 and the base body 311.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 4-7In another embodiment, the first mounting member 33 further includes an abutment portion 333, which is disposed on the first snap-fit portion 332 and extends along the second direction Y. The abutment portion 333 is used to abut against the inner wall of the first snap-fit space 312A. After the first snap-fit portion 332 is snapped into the first snap-fit space 312A, the abutment portion 333 can abut against the inner wall of the first snap-fit space 312A to increase the tightness of the connection between the first mounting member 33 and the first snap-fit space 312A, thereby reducing the probability of the first mounting member 33 disengaging from the first snap-fit space 312A and improving the connection stability between the first mounting member 33 and the seat body 311.
[0076] Please refer to Figure 4-7 In this embodiment of the application, the first snap-fit component 312 includes an abutment 3123 and the first mounting component 33 includes an abutment portion 333, so as to increase the tightness of the connection between the first mounting component 33 and the first snap-fit space 312A, thereby reducing the probability of the first mounting component 33 disengaging from the first snap-fit space 312A, and improving the connection stability between the first mounting component 33 and the base body 311.
[0077] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the first mounting member 33 further includes a second snap-fit portion 334, which is disposed on the side of the first snap-fit portion 332 away from the second mounting member 34 and protrudes from the first snap-fit portion 332; the seat body 311 has a relief groove 311B, which is disposed on the mounting surface 311A; the second snap-fit assembly 313 includes an elastic member 3131 and a second snap-fit member 3132, one end of the elastic member 3131 is connected to the seat body 311 and to the relief groove 311B. Correspondingly configured; the second snap-fit member 3132 is connected to the other end of the elastic member 3131 and is correspondingly configured with the clearance groove 311B. The second snap-fit member 3132 can drive the elastic member 3131 to deform into the clearance groove 311B. The second snap-fit member 3132 has a snap-fit surface 3132A facing the first snap-fit member 3121. A second snap-fit space 313A is formed between the snap-fit surface 3132A and the first snap-fit member 3121. At least the second snap-fit part 334 is disposed in the second snap-fit space 313A. The movable body 331 can drive the first latching part 332 to move along the second direction Y in the first latching space 312A, and drive the second latching part 334 to move into the second latching space 313A until the second latching part 334 is latched into the second latching space 313A. The latching surface 3132A and the first latching member 3121 are used to restrict the second latching part 334 from disengaging from the seat body 311 along the second direction Y, thereby further improving the connection stability between the first mounting member 33 and the mounting base 31.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 4, Figure 6 and Figure 7 Furthermore, the second latching member 3132 also has a first inclined surface 3132B facing away from the latching surface 3132A. The first inclined surface 3132B is used to abut against the body portion 331 so that the second latching member 3132 drives the elastic member 3131 to deform into the relief groove 311B. The body portion 331 has a relief hole 331A, and the first inclined surface 3132B can abut against the hole wall of the relief hole 331A so as to push the second latching member 3132 to drive the elastic member 3131 to deform into the relief groove 311B.
[0079] When installing the first mounting member 33, first move the first mounting member 33 so that the second snap-fit member 3132 passes through the clearance hole 331A. Move the first mounting member 33 along the second direction Y so that the first snap-fit part 332 can move along the first snap-fit space 312A until the first inclined surface 3132B abuts against the hole wall of the clearance hole 331A. Continue to move the first mounting member 33 along the first snap-fit space 312A. The hole wall of the clearance hole 331A pushes the first inclined surface 3132B so that the second snap-fit member 3132 moves into the clearance groove 311. The movement within B causes the elastic element 3131 to deform until the first mounting member 33 passes the second snap-fit member 3132. The elastic deformation of the elastic element 3131 then recovers, causing the second snap-fit member 3132 to move until the snap-fit surface 3132A abuts against the first mounting member 33. This allows the second snap-fit part 334 to be snapped into the second snap-fit space 313A, and prevents the first snap-fit part 332 from disengaging from the first snap-fit space 312A in the second direction Y. This enables the connection between the first mounting member 33 and the base body 311.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 4-7 In one embodiment, the first mounting member 33 further includes an annular protrusion 335, which protrudes from the body portion 331 and surrounds the periphery of the clearance hole 331A. The annular protrusion 335 can increase the structural strength of the hole wall of the clearance hole 331A and reduce the probability of damage to the hole wall of the clearance hole 331A, so that the hole wall of the clearance hole 331A can have a longer service life, thereby enabling the first mounting member 33 to have a longer service life.
[0081] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the first mounting member 33 has a mounting hole 331B, and the second mounting member 34 has a positioning post 341. The positioning post 341 is inserted into the mounting hole 331B, which enables the assembly of the second mounting member 34 and the first mounting member 33.
[0082] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9Furthermore, the positioning post 341 has a slot 341A, and the wall of the mounting hole 331B engages within the slot 341A. After the positioning post 341 is inserted into the mounting hole 331B, the wall of the mounting hole 331B engages within the slot 341A, which reduces the probability of the second mounting member 34 detaching from the first mounting member 33, thereby improving the connection stability between the second mounting member 34 and the first mounting member 33, and thus improving the installation stability of the motor 4.
[0083] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the positioning post 341 is a flexible post, and the positioning post 341 further includes a second inclined surface 341B, which is used to abut against the wall of the mounting hole 331B and to guide the wall of the mounting hole 331B to engage in the slot 341A. When connecting the second mounting member 34 to the first mounting member 33, the second mounting member 34 can be moved first until the positioning post 341 is aligned with the mounting hole 331B. Moving the second mounting member 34 along the axis of the mounting hole 331B allows the second inclined surface 341B to abut against the wall of the mounting hole 331B. Continuing to move the second mounting member 34 along the axis of the mounting hole 331B causes the wall of the mounting hole 331B to press against the second inclined surface 341B, resulting in elastic deformation of the positioning post 341. When the wall of the mounting hole 331B is aligned with the slot 341A, the elastic deformation of the positioning post 341 recovers, thereby engaging the wall of the mounting hole 331B within the slot 341A, thus achieving the installation between the first mounting member 33 and the second mounting member 34.
[0084] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the second mounting member 34 has a positioning groove 34A, the first mounting member 33 is embedded in the positioning groove 34A, and the positioning post 341 is disposed at the bottom of the positioning groove 34A. After the wall of the mounting hole 331B is engaged in the groove 341A, the first mounting member 33 is embedded in the positioning groove 34A, thereby increasing the contact area between the first mounting member 33 and the second mounting member 34, which can improve the connection stability between the first mounting member 33 and the second mounting member 34. Furthermore, since the first mounting member 33 is embedded in the positioning groove 34A, the positioning groove 34A can be used to restrict the rotation of the second mounting member 34 relative to the first mounting member 33, thereby preventing the motor 4 from rotating relative to the first mounting member 33, thus improving the connection stability between the motor 4 and the first mounting member 33, and improving the connection stability between the motor 4 and the water pump.
[0085] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9In one embodiment, the second mounting member 34 is a flexible member. Because the second mounting member 34 is flexible, it can deform when the motor 4 vibrates, absorbing the vibration and preventing it from being transmitted to the first mounting member 33. This, in turn, prevents the vibration from being transmitted to the base 21, reducing the probability of vibration and noise in the base 21 and improving the user experience. For example, the material of the second mounting member 34 can be rubber, silicone, etc.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 10 In one embodiment, the second mounting member 34 has a mounting sleeve 342, and the motor 4 has a mounting post 41. The mounting post 41 can be inserted into the mounting sleeve 342. By inserting the mounting post 41 into the mounting sleeve 342, the motor 4 and the second mounting member 34 can be installed, thereby enabling the assembly of the motor 4 and the first mounting member 33.
[0087] Please refer to Figure 10 For example, the second mounting member 34 may have four mounting sleeves 342 and the motor 4 may have four mounting posts 41. The axes of the four mounting posts 41 are arranged in parallel, so that the second mounting member 34 can be stably connected to the motor 4, thereby reducing the probability of the motor 4 detaching from the second mounting member 34.
[0088] Please refer to Figure 10 Furthermore, the axial length of the mounting post 41 is greater than the length of the mounting sleeve 342 to reduce the probability of the mounting sleeve 342 detaching from the mounting post 41, thereby making the connection between the mounting sleeve 342 and the mounting post 41 more stable and improving the connection stability between the motor 4 and the second mounting component 34.
