[0042] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a bracket assembly for an air conditioner and an air conditioner. The fixed bracket 21 and the bearing bracket 40 are respectively configured as an integral structure with the mounting plate 10, and the fixed bracket 21 and the bearing bracket 40 can respectively support the motor 201 and the drive shaft. This arrangement can improve the support capacity of the motor 201 bracket and the bearing bracket 40 for the motor 201, thereby ensuring the stability of the motor 201 during operation.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a bracket assembly for an air conditioner, including: a mounting plate 10, a motor 201 bracket, a motor 201, and a bearing assembly. The mounting plate 10 includes a mounting side; the motor 201 bracket includes a fixed bracket 21 disposed on the mounting side; the motor 201 is mounted on the fixed bracket 21, and drive shafts are disposed at both ends of the motor 201; the bearing assembly includes two bearing brackets 40 and two bearing bodies 50, the two bearing bodies 50 are respectively mounted on the two bearing brackets 40, and the two bearing brackets 40 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the motor 201 bracket; wherein, the two drive shafts are respectively connected to the two bearing bodies 50 for transmission, and at least one of the fixed bracket 21 and the bearing brackets 40 is integrally formed with the mounting plate 10.

[0045] Specifically, the air conditioner also includes multiple fan wheels. At least one fan wheel is located on the left and right sides of the motor 201, and the fan wheels are positioned between the motor 201 bracket and the bearing bracket 40. The motor 201 is mounted on a fixed bracket 21, and the shape and size of the fixed bracket 21 correspond to the motor 201. The drive shaft on the left side of the motor 201 extends to the left side of the bearing body 50 on the left side of the motor 201, and is sequentially connected to the fan wheel on the left side of the motor 201 and the bearing body 50 to drive the fan wheel on the left side of the motor 201 to rotate. The drive shaft on the right side of the motor 201 extends to the right side of the bearing body 50 on the right side of the motor 201, and is sequentially connected to the fan wheel on the right side of the motor 201 and the bearing body 50 to drive the fan wheel on the right side of the motor 201 to rotate.

[0046] Understandably, configuring the fixed bracket 21 and the mounting plate 10 as an integrally formed structure can improve the connection strength between the fixed bracket 21 and the mounting plate 10, thereby ensuring the supporting capacity of the fixed bracket 21 for the motor 201. Similarly, the end of the drive shaft away from the motor 201 is connected to the bearing body 50. Therefore, configuring the bearing bracket 40 and the mounting plate 10 as an integrally formed structure can improve the connection strength between the bearing bracket 40 and the mounting plate 10, thereby ensuring the supporting capacity of the bearing assembly for the drive shaft. This arrangement ensures the supporting capacity of the fixed bracket 21 for the motor 201 and the supporting capacity of the bearing assembly for the drive shaft, thus preventing vibration of the motor 201 during operation and ensuring the stability of the motor 201 during operation, thereby guaranteeing the air supply and return air capacity of the air conditioner. Meanwhile, the fixed bracket 21 and the bearing bracket 40 are respectively integrated with the mounting plate 10 into a single structure. Users can directly install and remove the motor 201 and the drive shaft from the fixed bracket 21 and the bearing bracket 40 respectively, thereby reducing the number of parts that need to be disassembled when installing and removing the motor 201 and making it more convenient for users to maintain the motor 201.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket assembly further includes a volute assembly. The volute assembly includes a plurality of first volute portions 31 disposed on the mounting side; wherein at least one first volute portion 31 is disposed on the left and right sides of the motor 201 bracket, and the first volute portion 31 is coaxially disposed with the drive shaft.

[0048] Specifically, the air conditioner includes multiple fan wheels, each mounted on a first volute portion 31. Each first volute portion 31 has a volute cavity 301, the size and shape of which correspond to the lower half of the fan wheel, facilitating top-down installation of the fan wheel by the user. At least one first volute portion 31 is located on the left side of the motor 201, allowing the user to mount the fan wheel on the left side of the motor 201 and support it. At least one first volute portion 31 is also located on the right side of the motor 201, allowing the user to mount the fan wheel on the right side of the motor 201. Thus, the drive shaft on the left side of the motor 201 can drive the fan wheel on its left side to rotate, and the drive shaft on the right side of the motor 201 can drive the fan wheel on its right side to rotate. This configuration improves the air supply and return air capacity of the air conditioner while making its structure more compact.

[0049] In the above embodiments, the coaxial arrangement of the first volute portion 31 and the drive shaft means that the volute cavity 301 of the first volute portion 31 is coaxial with the drive shaft. This arrangement facilitates the connection between the drive shaft of the motor 201 and the impeller drive.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of first volute portions 31 are provided on the left side of the motor 201 bracket, and / or a plurality of first volute portions 31 are provided on the right side of the motor 201 bracket.

[0051] Specifically, a plurality of first volute portions 31 are spaced apart on the left side of the motor 201 bracket along the extension direction of the drive shaft, so as to facilitate the user in installing multiple impellers on the left side of the motor 201. Similarly, a plurality of first volute portions 31 are spaced apart on the right side of the motor 201 bracket along the extension direction of the drive shaft, so as to facilitate the user in installing multiple impellers on the right side of the motor 201. This arrangement allows multiple impellers to be driven to rotate by a single drive shaft, thereby making the structure of the air conditioner more compact.

[0052] Optionally, the spacing between the plurality of 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 plurality of first volute sections 31 may be greater than or equal to 3 cm.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first volute portion 31 and the mounting plate 10 are configured as an integrally formed structure.

[0054] Specifically, configuring the first volute portion 31 and the mounting plate 10 as an integrally formed structure can improve the connection strength between the first volute portion 31 and the mounting plate 10, thereby ensuring the support capacity of the first volute portion 31 for the wind turbine. At the same time, configuring the first volute portion 31 and the mounting plate 10 as an integrally formed structure allows users to directly install and remove the wind turbine from the volute cavity 301 of the first volute portion 31 without having to remove the first volute portion 31 from the mounting plate 10, reducing the number of parts that users need to disassemble and assemble, and making it more convenient for users to install and remove the wind turbine.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the bearing bracket 40 is provided with a mounting groove 41 on the side facing the motor 201 bracket, the bearing body 50 can be snapped into the mounting groove 41, and the bearing body 50 can rotate circumferentially within the mounting groove 41.

[0056] Specifically, the bearing bracket 40 has a mounting groove 41 corresponding to the drive shaft, and the bearing body 50 is detachably installed in the mounting groove 41. This design 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 outer wall surface of the bearing body 50 corresponds to the snap-fit ​​groove 51 of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 42, and the snap-fit ​​groove 51 is arranged circumferentially around the bearing body 50; 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 4141 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 Figure 2 and Figure 5 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 6As 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; wherein, the motor 201 is installed in the lower assembly frame 211.

[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] Optionally, the support assembly further includes a reinforcing rib. The reinforcing rib includes a first end connected to the fixed support 21 and a second end connected to the first volute portion 31; wherein the reinforcing rib and the fixed support 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] The air conditioner using the bracket assembly for air conditioners provided in this application has a fixed bracket 21 and a bearing bracket 40 integrally formed with the mounting plate 10, and the fixed bracket 21 and the bearing bracket 40 can respectively support the motor 201 and the drive shaft.
