Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning device technology, specifically to an air conditioner and motor bracket. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner typically consists of a casing, condenser, partition, motor, fan, and support bars. The motor bracket is installed inside the casing cavity and supports and fixes the motor. Conventional motor brackets are often fixed together by screws or other screws through multiple plates or frames. This can easily lead to screws loosening. When the motor is running, the motor bracket can transmit vibrations and cause noise, reducing the customer's experience. This needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0004] The first aspect of this application discloses a motor bracket, including a longitudinal part and a transverse part connected in a T-shape. A mounting base for mounting a motor is provided at the middle of the front of the longitudinal part. The transverse part includes a left part and a right part connected together. The first end of the longitudinal part is bent toward one side to form the left part of the transverse part, and the middle part of the left part is bent toward the opposite side to form the right part.

[0005] This solution improves the structure of the motor bracket by bending the left and right sides of the horizontal section to form a single integrated structure of the vertical and horizontal sections, eliminating the need for other fasteners such as screws. This helps reduce the noise emitted by the motor bracket when the air conditioner is running.

[0006] Furthermore, the right end is bent to form a hook for connecting the air conditioner housing, facilitating the connection between the motor bracket and the housing.

[0007] Furthermore, the left end is bent to form a fixing plate, and the fixing plate has a mounting hole, which facilitates fixing to the air conditioner housing by passing screws or other fasteners through the mounting hole.

[0008] Furthermore, weight-reducing holes are formed along the thickness direction on the longitudinal portion above and below the mounting base, which helps to reduce the weight of the motor bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting base includes a second fixing plate. A mounting hole is formed along the thickness direction at the center of the front of the longitudinal part, and the second fixing plate protrudes outward at the opening of the mounting hole. The ends of the two second fixing plates are bent to form connecting plates. At the corresponding ends of the two connecting plates, notches for inserting the motor peripheral wall are provided. The two notches cooperate to form an annular opening for inserting the motor. The connecting plates above and below the notches are provided with second mounting holes. During installation, if the motor is inserted from the annular opening, fasteners pass through the second mounting holes and are fixed to the motor housing, which facilitates assembly and helps to reduce the weight of the motor bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, a groove is provided at the bottom wall of the notch. The addition of the groove reduces the difficulty of deformation of the connecting plate and makes it easier to enlarge the notch to accommodate a larger motor.

[0011] The second aspect of this application discloses an air conditioner, including the aforementioned motor bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the device includes a housing, a partition, a motor, a fan, a support bar, and a compressor. The housing is divided into a left chamber and a right chamber by the partition. A motor bracket is installed in the left chamber, and a motor is installed at the mounting seat in the longitudinal part of the motor bracket. A fan is installed at the output end of the motor. A compressor is installed in the right chamber, and a support bar is installed on the back of the housing.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this example, a motor bracket includes a T-shaped longitudinal portion 10 and a transverse portion 11 connected together. A motor mounting base 12 is disposed at the center of the front of the longitudinal portion 10. The transverse portion 11 includes a left portion 110 and a right portion 111 connected together. Figure 1 , Figure 2 In the illustrated state, the longitudinal section refers to the component extending longitudinally, and the transverse section refers to the component extending laterally. The first end of the longitudinal section 10 is bent horizontally to the left to form the left part 110 of the transverse section 11. The middle part of the left part 110 is formed by cutting and shaping a tongue plate, and then bending the shaped tongue plate horizontally to the opposite side (i.e., the right side) to form the right part 111. The motor bracket 1 is T-shaped overall. The structural design of bending and shaping the transverse section helps to reduce the number of components, thereby reducing the noise emitted by the motor bracket during subsequent air conditioning operation.

[0025] For the mounting base, its configuration can be selected according to the requirements. For example, a pre-formed mounting base for connecting the motor can be fixed to the center of the front of the longitudinal part by welding or screws. In this example, an integrated configuration is selected. For example, the mounting base 12 includes a second fixing plate 121. A mounting hole 100 is formed along the thickness direction at the center of the front of the longitudinal part 10, and the second fixing plate 121 is formed outward at the opening of the mounting hole 100. The ends of the two second fixing plates 121 are bent to form connecting plates 122 respectively. The corresponding ends of the two connecting plates 122 are formed with notches 123 for inserting the motor peripheral wall. The two notches 123 cooperate to form an annular opening for inserting the motor. The connecting plates above and below the notches 123 are formed with second mounting holes 125. During installation, if the motor is inserted from the annular opening, fasteners such as screws pass through the second mounting holes and are fixed to the motor housing. This configuration helps to reduce vibration and noise and can reduce weight.

[0026] Alternatively, a groove 124 can be formed at the bottom wall of the notch 123, and the size of the notch can be enlarged by deformation, which can easily accommodate larger motors.

[0027] To facilitate the connection between the motor bracket and the air conditioner housing, the end of the right part 111 in this example is bent to form a hook 112 for hooking the air conditioner housing. During assembly, the hook can be directly hooked onto the housing wall. Alternatively, the end of the left part 110 can be bent to form a fixing plate 113. The fixing plate 113 has a mounting hole. During assembly, screws or other fasteners can be passed through the mounting hole to fix it to the air conditioner housing.

[0028] Weight reduction holes 101 can also be formed along the thickness direction on the longitudinal portion above and below the mounting base 12. The size and number of weight reduction holes can be selected according to requirements, preferably as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a weight-reducing hole 101 is formed at the vertical portion above and below the mounting base.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] This air conditioner includes the motor bracket 1 and housing 3, partition 4, motor 2, fan 5, support bar 6, compressor, etc., as disclosed in Embodiment 1. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 The top cover of the middle casing has been removed to better showcase the internal structure. The interior space is divided into a left chamber 31 and a right chamber 32 by a longitudinally arranged partition 4. A motor bracket 1 is installed in the left chamber 31. The bottom of the longitudinal section 10 of the motor bracket 1 is fixed to the bottom wall of the left chamber 31 by screws. A fixing plate 113 at the left side 110 of the transverse section 11 of the motor bracket 1 is fixed to the cavity wall of the left chamber 31 by bolts. A hook 112 at the right side hangs on the cavity opening wall of the left chamber 31. A motor 2 is installed at the mounting base of the motor bracket 1, and a fan 5 is connected to the output end of the motor 2. A compressor (not shown in the figure) is installed in the right chamber using a conventional installation structure. A support strip 6 is installed on the back of the casing, which connects to a wall or wall-mounted bracket. The support strip, compressor, etc., are common components in air conditioners; their specific configurations and installation structures will not be described further.
