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.
Claims20
A motor mount for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, comprising:
- a first mounting bracket comprising a first base plate, a first side flange extending transversely from the first base plate in a first direction, and a second side flange extending transversely from the first base plate in a second direction, opposite the first direction;
- and
- a second mounting bracket configured to couple to the first mounting bracket, wherein the second mounting bracket comprises a second base plate and a third side flange extending transversely from the second base plate, the third side flange is configured to engage with the second side flange of the first mounting bracket, and the second mounting bracket is adjustable along the second side flange.
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, wherein the first mounting bracket comprises a first base plate, and the first mounting bracket is configured to be adjustably positioned relative to the mounting rail along a first axis;
- and
- a second mounting bracket configured to couple to the first mounting bracket, wherein the second mounting bracket comprises a second base plate, the second base plate is configured to extend along the first axis from a first end of the first base plate to a second end of the first base plate, and the second mounting bracket is configured to be adjustably positioned relative to the first mounting bracket along a second axis, transverse to the first axis.
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 couple to the first mounting bracket and to translate along the first mounting bracket;
- a fixed bracket configured to couple to the mounting rail;
- and
- a rod configured to extend through the first mounting bracket and the fixed bracket, wherein the first mounting bracket is configured to translate relative to the mounting rail via the rod.
