Abstract
A heating ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a support structure having a mounting rail, a first mounting bracket coupled to the mounting rail and configured to be adjustably positioned along a first axis of the mounting rail, and a second mounting bracket directly coupled to the first mounting bracket. The second mounting bracket is configured to support a fan motor mounted thereto, the second mounting bracket is configured to be adjustably positioned along a second axis of the first mounting bracket, and the second axis of the first mounting bracket is transverse to the first axis of the mounting rail.
Claims25
A heating ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a support structure including a mounting rail;
- a first mounting bracket coupled to the mounting rail and configured to be adjustably positioned along a first axis;
- and
- a second mounting bracket directly coupled to the first mounting bracket, wherein the second mounting bracket comprises a surface configured to support a fan motor mounted thereto, wherein the second mounting bracket is configured to be adjustably positioned along a second axis, the second axis is transverse to the first axis, and the surface extends from a first end of the first mounting bracket to a second end of the first mounting bracket.
A motor mount for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a first mounting bracket configured to couple to a mounting rail of the HVAC system;
- a second mounting bracket configured to directly couple to the first mounting bracket, wherein the second mounting bracket is adjustably positioned relative to the first mounting bracket along a first axis;
- a fixed bracket configured to fixedly couple to the mounting rail;
- and
- a rod configured to extend through the first mounting bracket and the fixed bracket, wherein the rod is configured to enable adjustment of a position of the first mounting bracket relative to the fixed bracket along a second axis transverse to the first axis.
A heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a support structure having a first mounting rail and a second mounting rail that each extends along a first axis;
- a first mounting bracket having a base plate and a side flange extending transversely from the base plate, wherein the base plate is configured to abut the first mounting rail and the second mounting rail, the side flange is configured to abut the first mounting rail, and a position of the first mounting bracket is adjustable along the first axis;
- and
- a second mounting bracket coupled to the first mounting bracket, wherein a position of the second mounting bracket is adjustable along a second axis that is transverse to the first axis, and the second mounting bracket is configured to secure a motor thereto.
