[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a bracket assembly and an air conditioner, wherein the first volute portion 31 fixing bracket 21 and bearing bracket 40 are respectively configured as an integral structure with the mounting plate 10. This arrangement can ensure the supporting capacity of the fixing bracket 21 while reducing the number of parts that the user needs to disassemble and assemble, making it more convenient for the user to disassemble and assemble the impeller and motor 201.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this disclosure provides a bracket assembly for an air conditioner, including: a mounting plate 10, a volute assembly, a motor 201 bracket, and a bearing bracket 40. The mounting plate 10 includes a mounting side; the volute assembly includes a first volute portion 31 disposed on the mounting side; the motor 201 bracket includes a fixing bracket 21 disposed on the mounting side, the fixing bracket 21 being located on one side of the first volute portion 31; the bearing bracket 40 is disposed on the mounting side, and the bearing bracket 40 is located on the other side of the first volute portion 31 relative to the motor 201 bracket; wherein, the first volute portion 31, the fixing bracket 21, and / or the bearing bracket 40 are integrally formed with the mounting plate 10.
[0045] Specifically, the air conditioner also includes a bearing body 50, a fan, and a motor 201. The bearing body 50 is mounted on a bearing bracket 40. The motor 201 has a rotating shaft corresponding to the fan, which extends towards the first volute portion 31 and is connected to the fan for drive rotation. The first volute portion 31 has a volute cavity 301, and the shape and size of the volute cavity 301 correspond to the lower half of the fan. The fan can be installed in the volute cavity 301 from above the first volute portion 31. The fixed bracket 21 has a lower mounting frame 211 with an upward-facing opening. The depth of the lower mounting frame 211 is greater than or equal to the height of the lower half of the motor 201, so that the lower half of the motor 201 can be completely assembled into the lower mounting frame 211. The rotating shaft extends through the volute cavity 301 to the bearing body 50 and is rotatably connected to the bearing body 50 so as to support the rotating shaft of the motor 201 through the bearing body 50.
[0046] Understandably, by configuring the first volute portion 31 and the mounting plate 10 as an integrally formed structure, users can directly install and remove the impeller to the volute cavity 301 of the first volute portion 31 without having to install and remove the first volute portion 31 to the mounting plate 10. Similarly, by configuring the fixed bracket 21 and the bearing bracket 40 as integrally formed structures with the mounting plate 10, users can directly install and remove the motor 201 and the bearing body 50 to the fixed bracket 21 and the bearing bracket 40 without having to install and remove the fixed bracket 21 and the bearing bracket 40 to the mounting plate 10. This configuration ensures the support capacity of the fixed bracket 21 while reducing the number of parts that users need to disassemble and assemble, making it more convenient for users to install and remove the impeller and the motor 201.
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the volute assembly includes a left first volute portion 31 and a right first volute portion 31, and the left first volute portion 31 and the right first volute portion 31 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the motor 201 bracket; wherein the left first volute portion 31 and the right first volute portion 31 are disposed with their center lines coinciding.
[0048] Specifically, the air conditioner is equipped with multiple fan blades, which can be respectively installed in the volute cavity 301 of the left first volute portion 31 and the right first volute portion 31. At least one left first volute portion 31 is provided on the left side of the motor 201 bracket, and at least one right first volute portion 31 is provided on the right side of the motor 201 bracket, so as to facilitate the user to drive multiple fan blades with one motor 201, thereby making the structure of the air conditioner more compact.
[0049] In the above embodiment, the volute cavity 301 of the left first volute portion 31, the volute cavity 301 of the right first volute portion 31, and the rotating shaft of the motor 201 are coaxially arranged.
[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the volute assembly includes a plurality of left first volute portions 31, and the bearing bracket 40 and the motor 201 bracket are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the plurality of left first volute portions 31; wherein the plurality of left first volute portions 31 are arranged in such a way that their center lines coincide.
[0051] Specifically, multiple left-side first volute portions 31 are spaced apart on the left side of the motor 201 bracket along the extension direction of the motor 201 shaft. The motor 201 shaft extends towards the bearing bracket 40 and sequentially passes through the volute cavities 301 of the multiple first volute portions 31, so that the shaft is simultaneously connected to the impeller within the multiple left-side first volute portions 31. Simultaneously, after passing through the multiple left-side first volute portions 31, the shaft is rotatably connected to the bearing body 50 within the bearing bracket 40. This arrangement allows for a more compact structure in the air conditioner.
[0052] Understandably, simultaneously connecting the rotating shaft to multiple left-side first volute sections 31 would increase the length of the rotating shaft on the left side of the motor 201. Therefore, by positioning the bearing bracket 40 on the other side of the multiple left-side first volute sections 31 relative to the motor 201, and rotatably connecting the rotating shaft to the bearing body 50, the bearing bracket 40 can support the rotating shaft on the left side of the motor 201, thereby ensuring that the motor 201 can stably drive the wind turbine to rotate.
[0053] In some practical applications, the volute assembly includes two left-side first volute portions 31 and one right-side first volute portion 31. The two left-side first volute portions 31 are spaced apart on the left side of the motor 201 bracket along the direction of rotation, and the right-side first volute portion 31 is located on the right side of the motor 201 bracket along the direction of rotation. The bearing bracket 40 is located on the left side of the two left-side first volute portions 31.
[0054] Optionally, the spacing between the multiple left-side first volute sections 31 is greater than or equal to a preset distance to avoid mutual interference between the multiple impellers. The preset distance can be set according to the user's actual needs; for example, the spacing between the multiple left-side first volute sections 31 can be greater than or equal to 3cm.
[0055] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the bearing bracket 40 is provided with a mounting groove 41 corresponding to the position of the first volute portion 31; the bracket assembly also includes a bearing body 50. The bearing body 50 is detachably mounted in the mounting groove 41.
[0056] Specifically, a mounting groove 41 is provided at the position corresponding to the first volute portion 31 on the bearing bracket 40. The mounting groove 41 is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft, and the bearing body 50 is detachably installed in the mounting groove 41. This arrangement makes it easier for users to install and remove the bearing body 50 from the bearing bracket 40, facilitating maintenance or replacement of the bearing body 50.
[0057] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a snap-fit protrusion 42 is provided in the mounting groove 41; the bearing body 50 is provided with a snap-fit groove 51 corresponding to the snap-fit protrusion 42; wherein, the snap-fit protrusion 42 can snap into the snap-fit groove 51 to snap the bearing body 50 into the mounting groove 41.
[0058] Specifically, the inner wall of the mounting groove 41 is provided with a snap-fit protrusion 42, and the outer wall of the bearing body 50 is provided with a snap-fit groove 51. The user can push the bearing body 50 into the mounting groove 41 and make the snap-fit protrusion 42 snap into the snap-fit groove 51. At this time, the snap-fit protrusion 42 abuts against the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 51 to prevent the bearing body 50 from coming out of the mounting groove 41.
[0059] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting groove 41 is provided in the form of penetrating the bearing bracket 40; the mounting groove 41 is also provided with a limiting protrusion 43, which abuts against the side of the bearing body 50 away from the first volute portion 31.
[0060] Specifically, by designing the mounting groove 41 to penetrate the bearing bracket 40, contact and interference between the bottom wall of the mounting groove 41 and the bearing body 50 or the rotating shaft can be avoided. Simultaneously, the user can directly push the bearing body 50 out of the opening on the other side of the mounting groove 41 through the opening on one side, making it easier for the user to install and remove the bearing body 50. The limiting protrusion 43 is located on the side of the bearing body 50 facing away from the first volute portion 31, that is, the limiting protrusion 43 is located on the side of the locking protrusion 42 facing away from the first volute portion 31, to prevent the bearing body 50 from dislodging from the opening on the side of the mounting groove 41 facing away from the first volute portion 31. Meanwhile, when the bearing body 50 is installed in the mounting groove 41, the limiting protrusion 43 can abut against the side wall of the bearing body 50 away from the first volute portion 31, and the snap-fit protrusion 42 can simultaneously abut against the side wall of the snap-fit groove 51 near the limiting protrusion 43, so as to limit the bearing body 50 by the limiting protrusion 43 and the snap-fit protrusion 42.
[0061] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first volute portion 31 is provided with a snap-fit portion; the volute assembly further includes a second volute portion 32. The second volute portion 32 is provided with a snap-fit mating portion corresponding to the snap-fit portion; wherein, the snap-fit mating portion can snap onto the snap-fit portion to snap the second volute portion 32 onto the first volute portion 31, and the first volute portion 31 and the second volute portion 32 can surround each other to form a volute cavity 301.
[0062] Specifically, the first volute portion 31 has a snap-fit portion on the side facing the second volute portion 32, and the second volute portion 32 has a snap-fit mating portion on the side facing the first volute portion 31. The snap-fit mating portion can snap onto the snap-fit portion. The second volute portion 32 can be installed on one side of the first volute portion 31 and snapped onto the first volute portion 31, so that the first volute portion 31 and the second volute portion 32 enclose a complete volute cavity 301. In this way, when the user needs to clean and maintain the volute and the impeller, the snap-fit mating portion can be disengaged from the snap-fit portion, so that the second volute portion 32 is disengaged from the first volute portion 31. At this time, the user can remove the second volute portion 32 and the impeller to clean and maintain the impeller and the volute. After cleaning and maintaining the volute and impeller, the impeller can be installed first inside the volute cavity 301. Then, the second volute part 32 is installed on one side of the first volute part 31, and the snap-fit part is engaged with the snap-fit part to complete the installation of the impeller and volute. This design makes it easier for users to disassemble and assemble the volute and impeller, and thus easier for them to clean and maintain the volute and impeller.
[0063] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixed bracket 21 is provided with a lower assembly frame 211, and the lower assembly frame 211 is provided with an upward-facing opening; the motor 201 bracket also includes a movable bracket 22. The movable bracket 22 is detachably installed above the fixed bracket 21.
[0064] Specifically, the depth of the lower assembly frame 211 is greater than or equal to the height of the lower half of the motor 201, so that the lower half of the motor 201 can be completely assembled inside the lower assembly frame 211. The movable bracket 22 can be fastened to the opening of the lower assembly frame 211 from above the fixed bracket 21 and installed on the fixed bracket 21.
[0065] Understandably, configuring the fixing bracket 21 and the mounting plate 10 as an integrally molded structure can ensure the connection strength between the fixing bracket 21 and the mounting plate 10 while reducing the number of parts for mounting and disassembling the bracket assembly. Simultaneously, aligning the size and shape of the lower assembly frame 211 with the lower half of the motor 201 can improve the fit between the lower assembly frame 211 and the lower half of the motor 201, thereby enhancing the stability of the motor 201 mounted on the lower assembly frame 211.
[0066] When the user needs to install motor 201, motor 201 can first be placed inside the lower assembly frame 211 of fixed bracket 21. At this time, the lower assembly frame 211 covers and fits against the lower half of motor 201 to support motor 201. After motor 201 is installed, movable bracket 22 is then fastened to motor 201 from above and fixed to fixed bracket 21. In this way, fixed bracket 21 and movable bracket 22 can respectively fix the lower and upper halves of motor 201 to ensure the installation stability of motor 201. When the user needs to disassemble motor 201, movable bracket 22 can be removed first, then removed from above motor 201, and motor 201 can be taken out from lower assembly frame 211 to complete the disassembly of motor 201. This design can reduce the number of parts that the user needs to disassemble and assemble while ensuring the supporting capacity of fixed bracket 21, making it more convenient for the user to disassemble and assemble motor 201.
[0067] Optionally, the movable bracket 22 includes an upper assembly frame 221, and the upper assembly frame 221 is provided with a downward opening; wherein, the upper assembly frame 221 can be fastened to the lower assembly frame 211 to form a complete assembly frame, and the size and shape of the upper assembly frame 221 are provided corresponding to the upper half of the motor 201.
[0068] Specifically, by making the size and shape of the upper mounting frame 221 correspond to the upper half of the motor 201, the fit between the upper mounting frame 221 and the upper half of the motor 201 can be improved, thereby improving the stability of the upper mounting frame 221 in fixing the motor 201.
[0069] In some embodiments, the device further includes a reinforcing rib. The reinforcing rib includes a first end connected to the fixing bracket 21 and a second end connected to the first volute portion 31; wherein the reinforcing rib and the fixing bracket 21 are configured as an integrally formed structure, and / or the reinforcing rib and the first volute portion 31 are configured as an integrally formed structure.
[0070] Specifically, a reinforcing rib is disposed between the first volute portion 31 and the fixed bracket 21, and when the bracket assembly includes multiple first volute portions 31, the bracket assembly is also provided with multiple reinforcing ribs accordingly. One end of the reinforcing rib is integrally connected to the fixed bracket 21, and the other end of the reinforcing rib is integrally connected to the first volute portion 31, so as to further improve the stability of the first volute portion 31 and the fixed bracket 21.
[0071] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an air conditioner including: a housing and the above-mentioned bracket assembly for the air conditioner, wherein the mounting plate 10 of the bracket assembly is fixedly installed on the housing.
[0072] Specifically, the mounting plate 10 can be fixed to the housing by fasteners such as bolts or screws.
[0073] In an air conditioner using the bracket assembly provided in this application, if the user needs to clean or maintain the motor 201, the fixed bracket 21 and the mounting plate 10 are configured as an integrally formed structure, and the user can directly install the motor 201 from above the fixed bracket 21 onto the lower assembly frame 211. This design ensures the supporting capacity of the fixed bracket 21 while reducing the number of parts that the user needs to disassemble, making it more convenient for the user to install and remove the motor 201.
