Technical Field

The present invention relates to mounts and equipment assemblies, and more particularly to support rails for mounting compressors in refrigeration or air conditioning systems.

Background

Fig. 1 schematically illustrates the mounting of a compressor assembly in the prior art. As shown in fig. 1, the compressor assembly comprises two compressors CP1, CP2 of different external dimensions, which compressors CP1, CP2 are connected in parallel to each other by a duct 30 and mounted on two support rails 10 extending side by side. The two support rails 10 extend parallel and equally spaced. A plurality of through holes are provided in the support rail 10 to affix the support rail 10 to a foundation (not shown, e.g., the ground) with fasteners 104 (e.g., screws) that fit into the through holes. The outer size of the compressor CP1 is larger than that of the compressor CP 2.

The bottom surface of the larger compressor CP1 can cover the distance between the two support rails 10, so that the compressor CPI can be fastened directly to the two support rails 10 by means of a plurality of bolts 101 without the aid of additional support rails. The compressor CP2 has a small external size and cannot directly cover the distance between the two support rails 10, so the compressor CP2 needs to be indirectly mounted on the support rails 10 by means of the two additional support rails 20. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, two support rails 20 are provided side by side on the support rail 10 in a direction intersecting (preferably perpendicular to) the extending direction of the support rail 10, and are fastened to the support rail 10 with a plurality of bolts 203. Then, the compressor CP2 is fastened to the two support rails 20 with a plurality of bolts 201.

In addition, in order to adjust (raise) the height positions of the compressors CP1, CP2 in the vertical direction to avoid the interference of the bottom surfaces of the compressors CP1, CP2 with the top surfaces of the corresponding support rails, which results in the failure to mount the compressors on the support rails, a spacer 102 is provided between the mounting leg of the compressor CP1 and the top surface of the support rail 10, and a spacer 202 is provided between the mounting leg of the compressor CP2 and the top surface of the support rail 20.

Thus, prior art compressor assemblies are complex to install and are costly due to the need to use additional parts (e.g., support rail 20 and spacers 102, 202).

Detailed Description

FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of the manner in which a compressor assembly is installed according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 2, the compressor assembly comprises two compressors CP1, CP2 of different sizes, which are connected in parallel to each other by a duct 30 and mounted on two support rails 10 extending side by side, i.e. the two support rails 10 are parallel to each other. In other embodiments, the two compressors CP1, CP2 may also be connected in series with each other by a pipe 30 and mounted on the support rail 10. The support rail 10 is secured to a foundation (not shown), such as the ground, using a plurality of fasteners 104, such as screws. The size of the compressor CP1 is larger than that of the compressor CP 2. The compressor CP1 is fastened to the two support rails 10 with a plurality of bolts 101. The compressor CP2 is fastened to the two support rails 10 with a plurality of bolts 201.

The compressor package of fig. 2 is mounted differently from the compressor package of fig. 1 in that the compressors CP1, CP2 of fig. 2 can be mounted to the support rail 10 without the aid of additional support rails (e.g., the prior art support rail 20 of fig. 1) and shims (e.g., the prior art shims 102, 202 of fig. 1).

FIG. 3 is a top view of a mount according to one embodiment of the invention.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the mounting according to an embodiment of the invention comprises two support rails 10 extending side by side, i.e. the two support rails 10 extend parallel to each other. Each support rail 10 is an integrally formed member, and the support rail 10 may be manufactured by performing a process such as sheet metal working or press forming on a metal sheet, for example.

As shown in fig. 3, the two support rails 10 may be divided into a first section 10A and a second section 10B in the extending direction thereof. The first section 10A is adapted to carry a first device having a first size, such as a compressor CP 1. The second section 10B is adapted to carry a second device having a second size, such as a compressor CP 2.

As an example, the first size may be a distance between a mounting point of the first device on one support rail 10 (e.g., at one bolt 101 shown in fig. 2) and a mounting point on the other support rail 10 (e.g., at the other bolt 101 shown in fig. 2) in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the support rail 10 (e.g., a distance between bolts 101 on two support rails 10 shown in fig. 2), and the second size may be a distance between a mounting point of the second device on one support rail 10 (e.g., at one bolt 201 shown in fig. 2) and a mounting point on the other support rail 10 (e.g., at the other bolt 201 shown in fig. 2) in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the support rail 10 (e.g., a distance between bolts 201 on two support rails 10 shown in fig. 2). The first size may be the same as or different from the second size.

In the first section 10A, the distance between the two support rails 10 is a first distance dA. In the second section 10B, the spacing between the two support rails 10 is a second distance dB. The first distance dA may be the same as or different from the second distance dB, depending on whether the first size and the second size are the same or different. That is, when the first size is the same as the second size, the first distance dA is equal to the second distance dB; when the first size is different from the second size, the first distance dA is different from the second distance dB. That is, in various embodiments, the first distance dA may be equal to, greater than, or less than the second distance dB. In fig. 3, the first distance dA is shown as being different from the second distance dB, and the first distance dA is larger than the second distance dB. Accordingly, the width W of each support rail 10 in the first section 10A in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the support rail 10_AIs smaller than the width W of each support rail 10 in the second section 10B_B。

Specifically, in the first section 10A, two bolt holes 105A are provided on each support rail 10, so that a first apparatus (such as the compressor CP1) is fastened to the support rail 10 with bolts 101 fitted into the bolt holes 105A. Similarly, in the second section 10B, two bolt holes 105B are provided on each support rail 10, so that a second apparatus (such as a compressor CP2) is fastened to the support rail 10 with bolts 201 fitted into the bolt holes 105B.

As shown in fig. 3, in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the support rail 10, the pitch dA between the bolt holes 105A on one support rail 10 and the bolt holes 105A on the other support rail 10 is larger than the pitch dB between the bolt holes 105B on one support rail 10 and the bolt holes 105B on the other support rail 10. Thus, the first section 10A is adapted to carry a first device of larger dimensions, while the second section 10B is adapted to carry a second device of smaller overall dimensions. In addition, a plurality of through holes 103 are provided on the support rail 10, so that the support rail 10 is fixed to a foundation (not shown, such as a floor) using fasteners 104 fitted into the through holes 103.

Fig. 4 is a schematic sectional view of a case where the bottom surface of the compressor and the top surface of the support rail interfere with each other, taken along a plane perpendicular to the extending direction of the support rail.

As shown in fig. 4, the cross-section of the support rail 10 is generally "inverted" in shape. Taking the first appliance as a compressor CP1 and the second appliance as a compressor CP2 as an example, in some cases, the compressor CP1 and/or the bottom surface CP of the compressor CP2_BBulging downwards, i.e. towards the top surface 10 of the support rail 10_TAnd (4) swelling. When the compressor assemblies CP1, CP2 are placed on the support rail 10 for installation, the bottom surface CP1 and/or CP2 of the compressor CP1 and/or the compressor CP2 is/are vertically elevated without using shims (e.g., shims 102 and/or 202) to raise the height of the compressor CP1 and/or the compressor CP2 _BWith the top surface 10 of the corresponding support rail 10_TInterference may occur as shown by the shaded area S in fig. 4.

Fig. 5 and 6 are top views of mounts according to other embodiments of the invention.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, in order to avoid the above-mentioned interference, the top surface 10 of the support rail 10 in the first section 10A and/or the second section 10B_TIs provided with a groove 106A and/or a groove 106B, and the shape of the grooves 106A, 106B and the corresponding bottom surface CP_BAre matched in shape. Whether grooves 106A and/or grooves 106B are provided depends on the bottom surface CP of the supported device_BWith the top surface 10 of the corresponding support rail 10_TNo interference will occur. It will be appreciated that the grooves 106A and/or 106B need not be provided, as shown in fig. 3, without the above-described interference occurring even if a spacer is not used. Fig. 5 shows a case where only the groove 106B is provided, and fig. 6 shows a case where both the grooves 106A and 106B are provided.

Fig. 7 and 8 are top views of mounts according to other embodiments of the invention.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the two support rails 10 further include a third section 10C in the extending direction thereof. The third section 10C is adjacent to the first section 10A or the second section 10B. The configuration of the two support rails 10 in the third section 10C is substantially the same as the overall configuration of the support rails 10 in the first section 10A or the second section 10B, such that the third section 10C is adapted to carry a third piece of equipment (e.g., a compressor) having a third size. Similarly, the spacing between the two support rails 10 in the third section 10C is a third distance dC, which may be the same as or different from the aforementioned first and second distances dA and dB, depending on the third size of the third device, which is the same as or different from the first size of the first device and the second size of the second device. In addition, according to practical circumstances, a groove 106C may be provided on the top surface of the support rail 10 in the third section 10C to avoid the bottom surface of the third device from interfering with the top surface of the support rail 10. Fig. 7 shows a case where the groove 106C is provided and the third distance dC is equal to the second distance dB, and fig. 8 shows a case where the groove 106C is not provided and the third distance dC is equal to the first distance dA.

It should be noted that the above description has been made by taking the compressor assembly as an example of the equipment assembly supported by the two support rails 10 extending in parallel. However, in other embodiments, the device may be other devices as long as they can be mounted on the support rail 10 of the present invention. When the support rail 10 is provided with the groove structure, the bottom surface of the supported equipment is protruded downward, so that the interference of the bottom surface of the supported equipment with the top surface of the support rail 10 can be eliminated, thereby facilitating the installation of the equipment assembly on the support rail 10.

The technical objects, technical solutions and technical effects of the present invention have been described in detail hereinabove with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the above-described embodiments are exemplary only, and not limiting. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made by those skilled in the art within the spirit and principle of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
