Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and more particularly to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] As people's demands for air conditioning user experience continue to increase, optimizing air conditioner performance has become a key focus for the industry. Among these factors, the vibration of the outdoor unit during operation has a significant impact on its stability, lifespan, and the surrounding environment.

[0003] Traditional air conditioners face numerous vibration-related challenges during installation and operation. Taking a common air conditioner structure as an example, the motor and heat exchanger, as the main vibrating components, generate continuous vibration during operation. Furthermore, the motor and heat exchanger are directly mounted on the mounting plate using simple fixing devices. This mounting method creates a rigid connection between the vibration source and the mounting plate, allowing vibration energy to be transmitted to the entire outdoor unit structure through the connecting components, leading to a series of problems. For instance, when vibration is transmitted to the mounting surface, it generates noticeable noise. Simultaneously, long-term vibration transmission accelerates the wear and tear of various components in the outdoor unit, causing loosening and deformation, and shortening the lifespan of the outdoor unit. In addition, vibration can affect the normal operating accuracy of the motor and heat exchanger, reducing the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner and failing to meet users' demands for highly efficient and energy-saving air conditioning products.

[0004] To address these issues, some manufacturers have added rubber pads to reduce vibration transmission. While this provides shock absorption, the pads are not securely fixed and pose potential hazards. Others have adjusted the structure of the fixing device while adding rubber pads, but because the rubber pads are compressed too tightly by the fixing device, they lose their elasticity and cannot effectively reduce vibration transmission while ensuring a secure fit, thus failing to solve the problem at its root.

[0005] Against this technological backdrop, developing a device that can effectively reduce vibration transmission while ensuring component fastening has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the air conditioning industry. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application addresses at least one of the technical problems in the related art by providing an air conditioner that can ensure the fastening of components while effectively reducing vibration transmission.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an air conditioner, comprising:

[0008] Mounting plate, wherein a mounting portion is provided through the mounting plate;

[0009] A vibration component is located on one side of the mounting plate;

[0010] Fixing device, including:

[0011] A fixed column, one end of which is connected to the vibration component, and the other end of which extends through the mounting portion to the other side of the mounting plate;

[0012] A fixing part is located on the side of the mounting plate away from the vibrating component, and the fixing part is sleeved on the fixing post;

[0013] A shock-absorbing pad is fitted onto the fixed column. The shock-absorbing pad is an elastic element and is compressed between the vibrating component and the fixed part.

[0014] A support frame is disposed between the fixed column and the shock-absorbing pad, with one end of the support frame abutting against the vibration component and the other end abutting against the fixed part.

[0015] In this technical solution, adding vibration-damping pads effectively absorbs the vibration energy generated by vibrating components, reduces vibration transmission caused by rigid connections, and minimizes the impact of vibration on other components of the outdoor unit. Furthermore, the vibration-damping pads, after elastic compression, possess significant elastic potential energy, allowing them to firmly engage with the fixing nuts and ensure a secure fit even under vibration, preventing the fixing nuts from loosening. Simultaneously, the addition of a support frame prevents excessive compression of the vibration-damping pads by the fixing components, thus avoiding loss of elasticity and ensuring the effective vibration damping of the pads.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting plate includes:

[0017] Main body of the board;

[0018] An extension extends from the edge of the mounting portion along the thickness direction of the plate body;

[0019] The fixed column, the supporting frame, and the shock-absorbing pad are inserted into the extension.

[0020] In the technical solution, the extension increases the contact area between the mounting plate and the damping pad, thereby reducing the pressure of the mounting plate on the damping pad and preventing the longitudinal shaking of the mounting plate from scratching the damping pad during vibration.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the shock-absorbing pad includes:

[0022] The main body is located within the extension.

[0023] A first extension portion extends radially outward from the end of the main body portion near the fixing portion, and the first extension portion is located between the extension portion and the fixing portion;

[0024] The second extension extends radially outward from the end of the main body near the vibrating component, and the second extension is located between the vibrating component and the mounting plate.

[0025] In the technical solution, the first and second extensions not only provide shock absorption but also act as limiters to prevent the mounting plate from shifting horizontally on the fixed column, ensuring that the entire fixed structure remains stable under long-term vibration.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, the first extension portion includes a first contact surface, and the first contact surface is fitted with the fixing portion;

[0027] The second extension includes a second contact surface, which is in contact with the vibration component;

[0028] The two ends of the support frame along the axial direction are a first end and a second end, with the first end close to the first contact surface and the second end close to the second contact surface.

[0029] When the shock-absorbing pad is in an uncompressed state, the ratio of the distance from the first end to the first contact surface to the distance from the second end to the second contact surface is equal to the ratio of the area of ​​the second contact surface to the area of ​​the first contact surface.

[0030] In the technical solution, by determining the fixed position of the support frame on the shock-absorbing pad, it is ensured that when the fixing nut and the fixing column are fastened together, the support frame can effectively transmit pressure between the end of the vibrating component and the fixing part, so that the entire fixing device is subjected to uniform force.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, the extension extends toward the first extension portion and abuts against the first extension portion.

[0032] In the technical solution, the extension abuts against the first outer extension, thereby fixing the mounting plate horizontally between the first and second outer extensions and preventing horizontal displacement of the mounting plate during the operation of the air conditioner.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting plate further includes a reinforcing portion that extends radially outward from the end of the extension near the first extension portion.

[0034] In the technical solution, the reinforcement increases the structural strength of the mounting plate in critical stress areas, preventing the mounting plate from deforming or being damaged due to long-term exposure to high pressure, thus ensuring the stable operation of the equipment.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the inner wall of the extension is fitted to the outer peripheral wall of the main body.

[0036] The technical solution aims to fix the mounting plate vertically, preventing vertical displacement of the mounting plate during the operation of the air conditioner.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the fixing device further includes a limiting member, the limiting member having a through limiting portion, the limiting member being sleeved on the fixing post through the limiting portion, and the limiting member being located between the fixing portion and the shock-absorbing pad, the limiting member being in contact with the fixing portion, and the outer peripheral edge of the limiting member extending beyond the outer peripheral edge of the fixing portion.

[0038] In the technical solution, the limiting component, compared to the fixing component, can provide a larger contact area with the shock-absorbing pad, which helps to distribute the pressure of the fixing component more evenly on the shock-absorbing pad and avoid excessive local compression of the shock-absorbing pad.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the end of the support frame passes through the limiting portion and abuts against the fixing portion;

[0040] The inner diameter of the limiting part is adapted to the outer diameter of the support frame to limit the radial displacement of the support frame.

[0041] In the technical solution, the displacement of the fastening frame is limited by the limiting part, so that the support frame, support plate and fixing part form a stable connection structure. The support frame and the fixing nut will not have relative displacement during vibration, thus ensuring the fixing effect of the fixing device.

[0042] In addition, this application also provides an air conditioner, comprising:

[0043] Mounting plate, wherein a mounting portion is provided through the mounting plate;

[0044] A vibration component is located on one side of the mounting plate;

[0045] Fixing device, including:

[0046] A supporting frame is fitted over the fixed column;

[0047] The shock-absorbing pad is an elastic element. The shock-absorbing pad is sleeved outside the support frame. One end of the shock-absorbing pad is in contact with the vibrating component. The axial length of the shock-absorbing pad is greater than the axial length of the support frame when there is no external force.

[0048] A fixing part is located on the side of the mounting plate away from the vibrating component, and the fixing part is sleeved on the fixing post;

[0049] The movement of the fixing part toward the vibrating component compresses the damping pad between the vibrating component and the fixing part, and causes the two ends of the support frame to abut against the vibrating component and the fixing part, respectively.

[0050] In this technical solution, by adding vibration-damping pads, the vibration energy generated by the operation of vibrating components can be effectively absorbed, reducing vibration transmission caused by rigid connections and minimizing the impact of vibration on other components of the outdoor unit. Furthermore, the vibration-damping pads possess elastic potential energy when compressed, allowing them to firmly abut against the fixing nuts, ensuring a tight fit even under vibration and preventing the fixing nuts from loosening. Simultaneously, the addition of the support frame prevents excessive compression of the vibration-damping pads by the fixing parts, thus avoiding loss of elasticity and guaranteeing the vibration-damping effect of the pads.

[0070] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0071] This application incorporates vibration-damping pads in the fixing devices of the vibrating components and mounting plates of the air conditioner. The pads are made of elastic materials such as rubber. When subjected to vibration, the molecular chains of the pads can extend and deform, absorbing vibration energy through elastic deformation. By incorporating vibration-damping pads, vibration transmission can be effectively reduced while ensuring the secure fastening of the internal components of the outdoor unit.

[0072] In the following, embodiments of this application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0073] As attached Figures 1 to 10 As shown in an illustrative embodiment of this application, the air conditioner includes an outdoor unit, which includes a casing, a base, a mounting plate 100, and a vibration component 200. The mounting plate 100 and the vibration component 200 are both disposed inside the casing of the outdoor unit.

[0074] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes an indoor unit, and the outdoor unit includes the indoor unit. The indoor unit includes a casing, a mounting plate 100, and a vibration component 200. The mounting plate 100 and the vibration component 200 are both disposed inside the casing of the indoor unit.

[0075] The vibrating components 200 include motors, plate heat exchangers, etc. The motors include fan motors and compressor motors, etc. The vibrating components 200, including the motors and plate heat exchangers, generate vibrations during operation.

[0076] In some embodiments, the base is fixed to the mounting surface of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner to secure the outdoor unit. To ensure the normal operation of the air conditioner, the mounting surface of the outdoor unit is horizontal.

[0077] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 100 is disposed on the base and fixedly connected to the base. The mounting plate 100 extends in a direction forming an angle with the base, and a mounting portion 110 is provided through the mounting plate 100 to provide a mounting position for the vibration component 200.

[0078] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 110 is a mounting hole that penetrates the surface of the mounting plate 100.

[0079] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 100 extends upward in a direction perpendicular to the base.

[0080] In some embodiments, the vibration components 200 are disposed on one side of the mounting plate 100 and are all fixed to the mounting plate 100 by the fixing device 300.

[0081] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 100 is made of thin-walled steel plate.

[0082] In existing technologies, motors and heat exchangers generate significant vibrations during operation. These are directly mounted on the mounting plate 100 using a simple fixing device 300. This mounting method creates a rigid connection between the vibration sources (motor, heat exchanger, etc.) and the mounting plate 100, allowing vibration energy to be transmitted to the entire outdoor unit structure through the connecting components, leading to a series of problems. For example, when vibration is transmitted to the mounting surface, it generates noticeable noise. Furthermore, long-term vibration transmission accelerates the wear and tear on various components of the outdoor unit, causing loosening and deformation, and shortening the unit's lifespan. In addition, vibration can affect the normal operating accuracy of the motor and heat exchanger, reducing the cooling and heating efficiency of the air conditioner and failing to meet users' demands for high-efficiency, energy-saving air conditioning products.

[0083] Based on this, this application provides a fixing device 300 that can fasten the motor and heat exchanger to the mounting plate 100 while reducing the vibration transmission of the motor and heat exchanger, thereby meeting the actual assembly needs of the air conditioner.

[0084] In some embodiments, the fixing device 300 includes a fixing post 310, a shock-absorbing pad 330, and a fixing part 320.

[0085] In some embodiments, one end of the fixing post 310 is connected to the vibration member 200, the middle part of which is inserted into the mounting part 110, and the other end of which extends through the mounting part 110 to the other side of the mounting plate 100.

[0086] In some embodiments, the fixing part 320 is sleeved on the fixing post 310, and the fixing part 320 is located on the side of the mounting plate 100 away from the vibration component 200.

[0087] In some embodiments, the fixing post 310 is threaded on the side of the mounting plate 100 away from the vibration component 200. The fixing part 320 is a nut, which includes a threaded hole with threads inside for threaded connection with the fixing post 310.

[0088] In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing pad 330 is sleeved on the fixing post 310 and is an elastic member. The shock-absorbing pad 330 is compressed between the vibrating member 200 and the fixing part 320. The material of the shock-absorbing pad 330 can be rubber, silicone, foam, etc., preferably rubber.

[0089] By installing the vibration damping pad 330, the vibration energy generated by the operation of the motor and heat exchanger can be effectively absorbed, reducing the vibration transmission caused by rigid connections, reducing the impact of vibration on other components of the outdoor unit, reducing component wear and failure caused by vibration, and extending the service life of the outdoor unit. Furthermore, after being elastically compressed, the vibration damping pad 330 has a large elastic potential energy, which allows it to firmly abut against the fixing part 320, ensuring that it remains secure even under vibration, preventing the fixing part 320 from loosening, and guaranteeing the stability of the outdoor unit's operation.

[0090] In some embodiments, to further enhance the fixing and damping effect of the fixing device 300 on the vibrating component 200, the mounting part 110 is provided at two locations in the same vertical direction of the mounting plate 100, and the fixing device 300 is provided at two locations corresponding to the mounting part 110.

[0091] Fixing the vibrating component 200 at two locations, compared to a single fixing point, better restricts the vertical displacement and sway of the component, making the vibrating component 200 more stable during operation. The two damping pads 330 work together to more evenly distribute the vibration energy generated by the vibrating component 200. Furthermore, the two fixing devices 300 share the weight of the vibrating component 200 and the forces generated during operation, preventing excessive load on a single fixing point. This results in more balanced stress on components such as the fixing column 310, damping pads 330, and support frame 340, helping to extend the service life of these components and improve the overall reliability of the fixing device 300.

[0092] In some embodiments, to prevent the fixing part 320 from excessively compressing the damping pad 330 and causing the damping pad 330 to lose its elasticity, thereby making the components of the fixing device 300 rigidly connected again, the fixing device 300 further includes a support frame 340. With the radial direction of the fixing post 310 as a reference, the support frame 340 is disposed between the fixing post 310 and the damping pad 330, with one end of the support frame 340 abutting against the vibrating component 200 and the other end abutting against the fixing part 320.

[0093] In some embodiments, the support frame 340 is sleeved outside the fixing post 310; the damping pad 330 is sleeved outside the support frame 340, one end of the damping pad 330 is in contact with the vibrating component 200, and its axial length under no external force is greater than the axial length of the support frame 340; the fixing part 320 is located on the side of the mounting plate 100 away from the vibrating component 200, and it is sleeved on the fixing post 310. By moving the fixing part 320 toward the vibrating component 200, the damping pad 330 is compressed between the vibrating component 200 and the fixing part 320, and both ends of the support frame 340 abut against the vibrating component 200 and the fixing part 320, respectively.

[0094] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 100 includes a plate body and an extension 120. The extension 120 extends from the edge of the mounting portion 110 along the thickness direction of the plate body, and the fixing post 310, the support frame 340 and the shock-absorbing pad 330 pass through the extension 120.

[0095] The extension 120 increases the contact area between the mounting plate 100 and the shock-absorbing pad 330, thereby reducing the pressure of the mounting plate 100 on the shock-absorbing pad 330 and preventing the longitudinal shaking of the mounting plate 100 from scratching the shock-absorbing pad 330 during vibration.

[0096] In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing pad 330 includes a main body 333 located between the extension 120 and the support frame 340.

[0097] In some embodiments, the damping pad 330 further includes a first extension portion 331 and a second extension portion 332. The first extension portion 331 extends radially outward from the end of the main body portion 333 near the fixing portion 320, and is located between the extension portion 120 and the fixing portion 320; the second extension portion 332 extends radially outward from the end of the main body portion 333 near the vibrating member 200, and is located between the vibrating member 200 and the mounting plate 100.

[0098] The first extension 331, located between the fixing part 320 and the mounting plate 100, effectively buffers the pressure generated when the fixing part 320 is tightened, as well as the vibration transmitted through the fixing column 310 during the operation of the vibrating component 200. The second extension 332, located between the vibrating component 200 and the mounting plate 100, directly reduces the vibration transmission from the vibrating component 200 to the mounting plate 100. The combined effect of the two damping pads 330 significantly improves the overall vibration damping performance, reduces the impact of vibration on other components of the air conditioner, reduces component wear, and extends the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, while providing vibration damping, the first extension 331 and the second extension 332 also play a certain limiting role, preventing unnecessary displacement of the mounting plate 100 on the fixing column 310, and ensuring that the entire fixing structure remains stable under long-term vibration conditions.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first extension portion 331 includes a first contact surface 334, which is in contact with the fixing portion 320; the second extension portion 332 includes a second contact surface 335, which is in contact with the vibration component 200. The two ends of the support frame 340 in the axial direction are a first end 341 and a second end 342, respectively, with the first end 341 close to the first contact surface 334 and the second end 342 close to the second contact surface 335.

[0100] In some embodiments, to facilitate the transportation and storage of the fixing device 300 before it is installed on the air conditioner, the support frame 340 is fixed to the inner wall of the shock-absorbing pad 330.

[0101] In some embodiments, the support frame 340 can be fixed by means of adhesive bonding, embedding, or other methods.

[0102] Due to the limitation of the cross-sectional area of ​​the fixing part 320 (nut), the area of ​​the first contact surface 334 is usually smaller than the area of ​​the second contact surface 335. However, the pressure on the first extension 331 from the fixing part 320 and the mounting plate 100 is the same as the pressure on the second damping pad 330 from the mounting plate 100 and the vibration component 200. Given the same pressure but different contact areas, the pressure on the first extension 331 and the second extension 332 is different. Furthermore, given the same material, the amount of compression on the first extension 331 and the second extension 332 is different.

[0103] Therefore, in order to secure the fixing part 320 to the fixing post 310, the amount of compression of the first extension part 331 and the second extension part 332 is sufficient to ensure that both ends of the support frame 340 abut against the vibration member 200 and the fixing part 320. In some embodiments, when the shock-absorbing pad 330 is not compressed, the ratio of the distance from the first end 341 to the first contact surface 334 and the distance from the second end 342 to the second contact surface 335 is equal to the ratio of the area of ​​the second contact surface 335 to the area of ​​the first contact surface 334.

[0104] It is worth noting that the first contact surface 334 is the part where the first extension portion 331 fits against the fixing portion 320 and applies a reaction force to the fixing portion 320. If the outer peripheral edge of the first extension portion 331 extends beyond the outer peripheral edge of the fixing portion 320, then the extended part of the first extension portion 331 does not belong to the first contact surface 334.

[0105] Of course, their ratio relationship can also be expressed by calculation: If the area of ​​the first contact surface 334 is S1, the area of ​​the second contact surface 335 is S2, the distance from the first end 341 to the first contact surface 334 (the amount of compression of the first extension 331) is L1, and the distance from the second end 342 to the second contact surface 335 (the amount of compression of the second extension 332) is L2, then the relationship between the four is satisfied as follows: When the size of the first contact surface 334 and the second contact surface 335 of the shock-absorbing pad 330 is determined, the fixed position of the support frame 340 in the shock-absorbing pad 330 can be determined according to this calculation formula, so as to ensure that when the fixed part 320 is tightly connected to the fixed column 310, the support frame 340 can effectively transmit pressure between the end of the vibration component 200 and the fixed part 320, so that the entire fixed device 300 is subjected to uniform force.

[0106] In some embodiments, since different manufacturers and different models have different requirements for the tightness between the fixing part 320 and the fixing post 310, the size of the shock-absorbing pad 330 can be selected according to the actual required clamping force: If the original thickness of the second extension part 332 when it is not compressed is L3, and the original thickness of the first extension part 331 when it is not compressed is L4, the clamping force of the second contact surface 335 is calculated using rubber with a Shore hardness of H (20 < H < 90) as an example:

[0107] Calculation of elastic modulus E: (unit: Pa)

[0108] Compressive strain ∈ calculation:

[0109] Calculation of clamping force F: (Unit: N)

[0110] Similarly, it can be deduced that (Unit: N)

[0111] When the clamping force on the shock-absorbing pad 330 needs to reach a certain value, the size of the shock-absorbing pad 330 and the fixed position of the support frame 340 can be selected based on the above calculation formula.

[0112] In some embodiments, the plate body abuts against the second extension portion 332, and the extension portion 120 extends toward the first extension portion 331 and abuts against the first extension portion 331. In this case, the mounting plate 100 can be fixed in the horizontal direction between the first extension portion 331 and the second extension portion 332, and horizontal displacement of the mounting plate 100 is prevented during the operation of the air conditioner.

[0113] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the extension 120 is fitted to the outer peripheral wall of the main body 333. This allows the mounting plate 100 to be fixed in the vertical direction, preventing vertical displacement of the mounting plate 100 during the operation of the air conditioner.

[0114] By engaging and securing the mounting plate 100 in both horizontal and vertical directions, it is ensured that the plate remains in the correct installation position during operation. This also enhances the stability of the entire fixing structure in all directions, making the fixing of the vibration component 200 more secure and reliable, and reducing the risk of component loosening due to equipment vibration or external forces.

[0115] In some embodiments, the mounting plate 100 further includes a reinforcing portion 130, which is formed by an extension portion 120 extending radially outward.

[0116] The structure of the reinforcing part 130 can be such that the extension part 120 extends outward as a whole, forming a thickened plate body structure with the extension part 120; or the end of the extension part 120 extends outward as a structure similar to the extension part 120 bending outward.

[0117] However, in order to reduce the overall weight of the mounting plate 100, the reinforcement 130 preferably extends radially outward from the end of the extension 120 near the first extension 331.

[0118] The reinforcement section 130 increases the structural strength of the mounting plate 100 in critical stress areas, preventing the mounting plate 100 from deforming or being damaged due to long-term exposure to high pressure, thus ensuring the stable operation of the equipment.

[0119] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral edge of the reinforcing portion 130 coincides with the outer peripheral edge of the first extension portion 331, or the outer peripheral edge of the reinforcing portion 130 extends beyond the outer peripheral edge of the first extension portion 331. This allows for a larger contact area between the damping pad 330 and the reinforcing portion 130, ensuring that more of the damping pad 330 can be compressed by the fixing device 300. This allows the damping pad 330 to more fully utilize its elastic deformation characteristics to absorb vibration energy, achieving a better damping effect.

[0120] In some embodiments, the fixing device 300 further includes a limiting member 350, which has a through-hole limiting portion. The limiting member 350 is sleeved on the fixing post 310 through the limiting portion, and is located between the fixing part 320 and the shock-absorbing pad 330. The limiting member 350 fits against the fixing part 320, and the outer peripheral edge of the limiting member 350 extends beyond the outer peripheral edge of the fixing part 320. This arrangement allows the limiting member 350 to provide a larger support area when the fixing part 320 is fastened to the fixing post 310, which helps to distribute the pressure of the fixing part 320 more evenly on the shock-absorbing pad 330, and avoids local over-compression or damage to the shock-absorbing pad 330 due to pressure concentration.

[0121] In some embodiments, the end of the support frame 340 passes through the limiting portion and abuts against the fixing portion 320. The inner diameter of the limiting portion is adapted to the outer diameter of the support frame 340 (the inner diameter of the limiting portion is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the support frame 340) to limit the radial displacement of the support frame 340.

[0122] In some embodiments, the limiting member 350 is connected to the fixing part 320.

[0123] This configuration creates a stable connection between the support frame 340, the support plate, and the fixing part 320. Since the support frame 340 is fixed inside the through hole, there will be no relative displacement between the support frame 340 and the fixing part 320 during vibration, which enhances the connection strength between the components and ensures the reliability of the equipment operation.

[0124] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be covered. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
