Air-conditioning apparatus and motor

An air-conditioning apparatus comprising:

• a fan arranged in a housing and configured to take air through an air inlet and blow air that has passed through a heat exchanger from an air outlet;
• a motor configured to drive the fan;
• and
• a support member on which the motor is placed and to which the motor is fixed via fixing members,
• wherein the motor includes
• a body outer shell being annular and surrounding a shaft core portion,
• a stator being fixed to the body outer shell,
• a rotor being opposite the stator and being rotatably supported via a bearing, and
• a bracket having a disc shape with a diameter substantially equal to a diameter of the body outer shell, being arranged on an end face of the stator, including a central portion on which the bearing supporting the rotor is attached, and being closely fixed to the body outer shell,
• the body outer shell includes a plurality of first body legs and a plurality of second body legs, the first and second body legs protruding outward and being disposed at a peripheral edge of an end of bracket side of the body outer shell, the bracket includes a plurality of first bracket legs and a plurality of second bracket legs, the first and second bracket legs protruding outward and being disposed in positions corresponding to the first and second body legs at a peripheral edge of the bracket,
• the body outer shell and the bracket are fastened together using the first body legs and the first bracket legs via the fixing members, and
• the body outer shell, the bracket, and the support member are fastened together using the second body legs and the second bracket legs via the fixing members in a state where the bracket is disposed between the body outer shell and the support member, thereby fixing the motor and the support member together.
