Compressor Vibration Support via Sheet-Like Isolator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vibration-reducing support structures for compressors fail to effectively block vibrations from traveling from the fixing plate to the fixing base, leading to inadequate vibration isolation and potential lift during transportation or unit fall.
Innovation Solution
A vibration-reducing support structure that stacks or integrally joins the fixing plate with a sheet-like vibration-reducing member on the fixing base, using a fixing means that reduces vibrations between the plate and base, and incorporates features like drain holes and grooves for water management, and claw or screw fixation to prevent uplift and enhance vibration blocking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the fixing plate with compressor is fixedly installed on the fixing base through a sheet-like rubber vibration isolator using bolts, then the compressor is securely fixed, but vibrations can travel to the fixing base via the bolts, reducing vibration isolation effectiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful vibration transmission path by removing the direct mechanical connection (bolts) between the fixing plate and fixing base. Instead, it uses a sheet-like rubber vibration isolator that contacts only the peripheral portions of the fixing plate, isolating the central compressor support area from vibration transmission to the fixing base.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a sheet-like rubber vibration isolator as a flexible element between the fixing plate and fixing base. This flexible membrane structure provides vibration isolation by allowing controlled deformation while maintaining structural support, effectively blocking vibration transmission paths.
2Device complexity
If a single rubber vibration isolator or spring is used to support the compressor, then the structure is simple, but it cannot sufficiently absorb vibrations, causing vibrations to travel to the unit main body
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple vibration-reducing functions into a single integrated sheet-like rubber vibration isolator structure. This merged design provides both support and multi-directional vibration absorption capabilities that exceed single-element isolators, while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The sheet-like rubber vibration isolator performs multiple functions simultaneously: it supports the compressor weight, absorbs vibrations in multiple directions, provides structural stability, and prevents direct rigid connection between the fixing plate and fixing base. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate vibration isolation components.

Function Achieved in This Case
This configuration effectively absorbs and blocks vibrations, reducing unit vibrations and preventing lift during transportation or unit fall, while allowing reliable water drainage and eliminating the need for expensive fastening means like bolts.
Implementation Method 1
a sheet-like vibration-reducing member, both of which are fixedly installed on a fixing base surface through a fixing means that fixes both while reducing the vibrations travelling from the fixing plate to the fixing base
Implementation Method 2
absorb the vibrations of the compressor, which fail to be absorbed by the vibration-reducing member and travel to the fixing plate, by means of the sheet-like vibration-reducing member interposed between the fixing plate and the fixing base
Implementation Method 3
The fixing plate and the sheet-like vibration-reducing member are provided with a drain hole for discharging drain water onto the fixing base
