Detailed Description

First, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this section are only for explaining the technical principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. And can be adjusted as needed by those skilled in the art to suit particular applications.

It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms of direction or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are merely for convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "mounted" and "connected" are to be interpreted broadly, e.g., as being fixed or detachable or integrally connected; can be mechanically or electrically connected; they may be connected directly or indirectly through intervening media, or they may be interconnected between two elements. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.

Referring first to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 is a schematic bottom view of a base plate of a conventional circular ceiling type air conditioner, and fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along line a-a of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the circular ceiling type air conditioner includes a base plate 1, a motor 6, and a boom stand assembly for suspending the air conditioner to a ceiling. The boom stand assembly includes three boom stands 2 and three booms 5 connected to the boom stands 2, and the boom stands 2 are fixedly connected to the floor panel 1 of the air conditioner at equal intervals in a circumferential direction in a manner surrounding the motor 6 or are formed integrally with the floor panel 1. The motor 6 is rotatably connected to the base plate 1 at a position of a center of a circle. Each of the boom supports 2 is provided with a support mounting hole 20, and each of the support mounting holes 20 has an opening 30 for facilitating the movement of the boom 5 into and out of the support mounting hole 20. As shown in fig. 1, the opening 30 of the holder mounting hole 20 is oriented clockwise, and the rotation direction 4 of the motor 6 is oriented counterclockwise, which are opposite to each other. With continued reference to fig. 2, the lower washer 9 and the lower nut 8 are disposed under the suspension rod 5, the upper washer 10 and the upper nut 11 are disposed on the suspension rod 5, and the suspension rod 5 and the suspension rod support 2 are tightly connected together under the combined action of the upper nut 11, the upper washer 10, the lower washer 9 and the lower nut 8. However, in the case where the opening 30 is oriented clockwise and the motor 6 is oriented counterclockwise with reference to fig. 1, the boom support 2 is subjected to inertia in the direction of rotation 4 of the motor 6, i.e., counterclockwise, and tends to move in the counterclockwise direction 4. In this case, when the

washers

9 and 10 and the

nuts

8 and 11 are loosened due to a long-term use, the counterclockwise movement of the boom support 2 may cause the boom 5 to be separated from the boom support 2 from the opening 30, which may cause a safety hazard.

Referring next to fig. 3 and 4, fig. 3 is a schematic bottom view of a base plate of a circular ceiling type air conditioner suspension bar of the present invention, and fig. 4 is a sectional view taken at B-B of fig. 3. As shown in fig. 3, the circular ceiling type air conditioner includes a base plate 1, a motor 6, and a boom stand assembly for suspending the air conditioner to a ceiling. The boom stand assembly includes three boom stands 2 and three booms 5 connected to the boom stands 2, and the boom stands 2 are fixedly connected to the floor panel 1 of the air conditioner at equal intervals in a circumferential direction in a manner surrounding the motor 6 or are formed integrally with the floor panel 1. Preferably, the motor 6 is rotatably connected to the center of the base plate 1, and the three boom supports 2 are fixedly connected to the base plate 1 or integrally formed with the base plate 1 at an equal distance from the center of the base plate 1 and at an angle of 120 degrees with respect to the line connecting the centers. In this connection, it should be noted that the boom support 2 may be separately manufactured and fixedly coupled to a part of the air conditioner main body, for example, the base plate 1, or may be integrally formed with the base plate 1, and the motor 6 may be rotatably coupled to a center position of the base plate 1. Each of the boom supports 2 is provided with a support mounting hole 20, and each of the support mounting holes 20 has an opening 30 for facilitating the movement of the boom 5 into and out of the support mounting hole 20. As shown in fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present invention, the opening 30 of the holder mounting hole 20 is oriented in the counterclockwise direction, and the rotation direction 4 of the motor 6 is also oriented in the counterclockwise direction, which are the same. With continued reference to fig. 4, the boom support assembly of the present invention further comprises a lower washer 9 and a lower nut 8 disposed below the boom 5 and an upper washer 10 and an upper nut 11 disposed above the boom 5, wherein the boom 5 and the boom support 2 are tightly coupled together under the combined action of the upper nut 11 and the upper washer 10, the lower washer 9, and the lower nut 8. As described above, unlike the prior art shown in fig. 1 and 2, the opening 30 of the mount mounting hole 20 of the present invention shown in fig. 3 and 4 is oriented in the counterclockwise direction, and the rotation direction 4 of the motor 6 is also oriented in the counterclockwise direction, in which case the boom mount 2 is subjected to the inertia in the rotation direction 4 of the motor 6, i.e., in the counterclockwise direction, and tends to move in the counterclockwise direction 4. In other words, during operation of the motor 6, the boom support 2 tends to approach the boom 5, so that the boom 5 and the boom support 2 are fastened more and more tightly, and the boom 5 does not fall out of the boom support 2.

With respect to the technical solutions of the present invention, it should be noted that although three boom supports and three booms are described in the present application, this is only exemplary and should not constitute any limitation to the present invention, and those skilled in the art may arrange other numbers of boom supports and booms as needed. Further, although the present application describes the boom support being fixedly coupled to or integrally formed with the base plate, this is not limitative, and the boom support may be fixedly coupled to or integrally formed with other members or portions of the air conditioner main body without changing the basic principle of the present invention, i.e., the rotation direction of the motor is the same as the opening direction of the boom support.

So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in connection with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Equivalent changes or substitutions of related technical features can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the invention, and the technical scheme after the changes or substitutions can fall into the protection scope of the invention.
