Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a bracket assembly and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] The installation of household or automotive air conditioners typically requires a bracket structure to reliably secure the air conditioner unit to the building's exterior wall or vehicle structure. In existing technologies, brackets are often directly connected to the air conditioner's casing or mounting base using bolts, screws, or other fasteners. During operation, especially when the compressor starts and stops, the fan rotates, or the vehicle vibrates, vibration energy is directly transmitted to the air conditioner unit through the bracket-fastener path, causing severe vibrations. This vibration not only generates noise and reduces user experience but can also lead to structural fatigue, loose connections, or even failure, affecting the air conditioner's operational stability and lifespan.

[0013] According to the bracket assembly provided by this utility model, the fixing base further includes: a fixing support plate, which is connected between the first fixing side plate and the second fixing side plate.
[0014] A second aspect of this utility model provides an air conditioner, including the bracket assembly described above.
[0015] The bracket assembly provided by this utility model includes a bracket and a fixing structure. The bracket is connected to a first component to be fixed.

The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes a bracket assembly and an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the following description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any particular limitation on the present invention.
[0030] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a support assembly, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes: a bracket 100, which is used to connect with the first part to be fixed; and a fixing structure, which is connected to the bracket 100 and is used to connect with the second part to be fixed.
[0031] The fixing structure includes: a fixing seat, which is connected to the bracket 100; a fastener 220, which passes through one side of the fixing seat and is connected to the other side of the fixing seat and to the component to be fixed; a first shock-absorbing pad, which is connected between the fastener 220 and one side of the fixing seat; and a second shock-absorbing pad, which is connected between the fastener 220 and the other side of the fixing seat.
[0032] The bracket assembly provided by this utility model includes a bracket 100 and a fixing structure. The bracket 100 is connected to a first component to be fixed. The fixing structure is connected to both the bracket 100 and the second component to be fixed. For example, the first component to be fixed can be a building exterior wall or a vehicle structure, and the second fastener 220 can be an air conditioner outdoor unit; alternatively, the first component to be fixed can be an air conditioner outdoor unit, and the second fastener 220 can be a building exterior wall or a vehicle structure. The fixing structure includes a fixing seat, a fastener 220, a first damping pad, and a second damping pad. The fixing seat is connected to the bracket 100. The fastener 220 can extend from one side of the fixing seat to the other side and connect to the second component to be fixed. A first damping pad is provided between the fastener 220 and one side of the fixing seat, and a second damping pad is provided between the fastener 220 and the other side of the fixing seat.
[0033] As described above, the rigid contact between the fastener 220 and the fixed seat is effectively isolated through the combined action of the first and second damping pads, forming a dual buffer and damping structure. This structure can significantly absorb and attenuate the vibration energy from either the first or second component to be fixed, preventing it from being transmitted to either component through the bracket 100, thereby greatly reducing operating noise and machine vibration, and improving the comfort of home and vehicle environments. Simultaneously, it effectively prevents problems such as loosening or even breakage of connections caused by long-term vibration, ensuring the long-term stability of the bracket assembly connection points, improving the operational stability of the air conditioner, and extending its service life.
[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, there are multiple fixing structures, and each fixing structure is connected to the bracket 100 at intervals.
[0035] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, two fixing structures are connected at intervals on the bracket 100, and each fixing structure is connected to the second component to be fixed. This improves the reliability of the connection between the first component to be fixed and the second component to be fixed.
[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 100 includes: a bracket connecting plate 110; a first bracket side plate 120 connected to one end of the bracket connecting plate 110; and a second bracket side plate 130 connected to the other end of the bracket connecting plate 110. The second bracket side plate 130, the bracket connecting plate 110, and the second bracket side plate 130 together form a U-shaped bracket structure.
[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the fixing base includes: a fixing connecting plate 211; a first fixing side plate 212, which is connected to one end of the fixing connecting plate 211 and connected to the first bracket side plate 120; and a second fixing side plate 213, which is connected to the other end of the fixing connecting plate 211 and connected to the second bracket side plate 130. The second fixing side plate 213, the fixing connecting plate 211, and the first fixing side plate 212 together form a U-shaped fixing structure, which is arranged opposite to the U-shaped bracket structure.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first bracket side plate 120 is connected horizontally to the upper edge of the bracket connecting plate 110, and the second bracket side plate 130 is connected horizontally to the lower edge of the bracket connecting plate 110, together forming a U-shaped bracket structure. The bracket connecting plate 110 can be connected to the component to be fixed by screws or other fasteners.
[0039] The first fixed side plate 212 is connected to the upper edge of the fixed connecting plate 211 in the horizontal direction, and the second fixed side plate 213 is connected to the lower edge of the fixed connecting plate 211 in the horizontal direction. The three together form a U-shaped fixed structure.
[0040] The U-shaped fixing structure and the U-shaped support structure are arranged opposite each other, or in other words, the U-shaped fixing structure and the U-shaped support structure are interlocked. For example, the first fixing side plate 212 is attached to the outer side of the first support side plate 120, and the second fixing side plate 213 is attached to the outer side of the second support side plate 130. The fixing connecting plate 211 is connected between the first fixing side plate 212 and the second fixing side plate 213, and is located on the outside of the U-shaped support structure. Alternatively, the first fixing side plate 212 is attached to the inner side of the first support side plate 120, and the second fixing side plate 213 is attached to the inner side of the second support side plate 130. The fixing connecting plate 211 is connected between the first fixing side plate 212 and the second fixing side plate 213, and is located between the first support side plate 120 and the second support side plate.
[0041] The bracket 100 and the fixed base can be connected by welding or by fastening. Specifically, in the welding connection method, the first bracket side plate 120 can be welded to the first fixed side plate 212, and the second bracket side plate 130 can be welded to the second fixed side plate 213. In the fastening connection method, the first bracket side plate 120, the first fixed side plate 212, the second fixed side plate 213, and the second bracket side plate 130 can be connected by a longer bolt, or shorter bolts can be used to connect the first bracket side plate 120 and the first fixed side plate 212, and the second bracket side plate 130 and the second fixed side plate 213, respectively.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fixing base further includes a fixing support plate 214, which is connected between the first fixing side plate 212 and the second fixing side plate 213.
[0043] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment where the U-shaped fixing structure is fastened to the U-shaped bracket structure, the fixing support plate 214 is connected to the side of the first fixing side plate 212 and the second fixing side plate 213 near the bracket connecting plate 110, and the fixing connecting plate 211 is connected to the side of the first fixing side plate 212 and the second fixing side plate 213 away from the bracket connecting plate 110. The fixing support plate 214, the fixing connecting plate 211, the first fixing side plate 212, and the second fixing side plate 213 together form a square tube structure. This improves the support capacity of the fixing seat and minimizes the risk of compression deformation.
[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, the fastener 220 includes: a bolt head 221, which is located on one side of the fixing seat; a bolt shank 222, one end of which is connected to the bolt head 221, and the other end of which passes through the fixing seat and the second part to be connected in sequence; a first locking nut 223, which is connected to the bolt shank 222 and is locked to the side of the fixing seat away from the bolt head 221; and a second locking nut 224, which is connected to the bolt shank 222 and is locked to the side of the second part to be connected away from the fixing seat.
[0045] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket assembly further includes: a mounting spacer 300, which is fitted onto the bolt rod portion 222 and located between the first locking nut 223 and the second component to be fixed.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the bolt head 221 is confined to the side of the fixed support plate 214 near the bracket connecting plate 110. One end of the bolt shank 222 is connected to the bolt head 221, and the other end of the bolt shank 222 passes sequentially through the fixed support plate 214, the fixed connecting plate 211, and the second component to be fixed. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the bolt head 221 is located on the side of the fixed connecting plate 211 near the bracket connecting plate 110. One end of the bolt shank 222 is connected to the bolt head 221, and the other end of the bolt shank 222 passes through the fixed connecting plate 211 and the second part to be fixed in sequence.
[0047] A first locking nut 223 is positioned and locked on the side of the fixed connecting plate 211 away from the fixed support plate 214. A second locking nut 224 is positioned and locked on the side of the component to be fixed away from the fixed connecting plate 211. A mounting spacer 300 is also provided between the first locking nut 223 and the component to be fixed. By providing the mounting spacer 300, on the one hand, direct rigid contact between the component to be fixed and the fixed connecting plate 211 can be avoided; on the other hand, the mounting spacer 300 can also adjust the installation distance between the component to be fixed and the fixing seat, improving the flexibility of the bracket assembly.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first shock-absorbing pad is located between the bolt head 221 and the fixing seat; the second shock-absorbing pad is located between the fixing seat and the first locking nut 223.
[0049] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first shock-absorbing pad includes: a first shock-absorbing body 231, which is sleeved onto the bolt shank 222 and is located between the bolt head 221 and the fixing seat; and a first shock-absorbing extension 232, which is connected to the first shock-absorbing body 231 and sleeved onto the bolt shank 222 and is located between the bolt shank 222 and the fixing seat.
[0050] The second damping pad includes: a second damping body 241, which is sleeved onto the bolt rod portion 222 and is located between the fixed seat and the mounting spacer 300; and a second damping extension 242, which is connected to the second damping body 241 and sleeved onto the bolt rod portion 222 and is located between the bolt rod portion 222 and the fixed seat.
[0051] For example, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the first damping body 231 and the first damping extension 232 are coaxially arranged, as are the second damping body 241 and the second damping extension 242. The inner diameters of the first damping body 231, the first damping extension 232, the second damping body 241, and the second damping extension 242 are all fitted onto the bolt shank 222. The outer diameters of the first damping extension 232 and the second damping extension 242 are adapted to the through holes on the fixing seat for the bolt shank 222 to pass through. The first damping extension 232 and the second damping extension 242 can separate the bolt shank 222 from the corresponding hole walls on the fixing seat. The first damping body 231 is located between the bolt head 221 and the fixing seat, and the second damping body 241 is located between the fixing seat and the mounting spacer 300. For example, both the first and second damping pads can be elastic damping pads.
[0052] By placing the first damping pad between the bolt head 221 and the fixing seat, and between the bolt shank 222 and the fixing seat; and placing the second damping pad between the fixing seat and the first locking nut 223, and between the bolt shank 222 and the fixing seat, vibration energy from multiple directions can be efficiently absorbed and dissipated, significantly reducing the vibration and noise transmitted from the air conditioner to the mounting surface. At the same time, this structure avoids hard contact between metal parts, prevents stress concentration and wear of the fixing seat, and effectively compensates for the preload attenuation caused by vibration through continuous elastic restoring force, preventing the nut from loosening. Thus, while improving the vibration damping effect, it ensures the long-term reliability of the connection and the convenience of installation.
[0053] A second aspect of this utility model provides an air conditioner including the bracket assembly described above. For example, the air conditioner also includes an outdoor unit, which is connected to a mounting surface such as a building exterior wall or vehicle structure via the bracket assembly.
[0054] Furthermore, the air conditioner provided by this utility model, since it includes the indoor unit as described above, also possesses the advantages described above.
[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
