Publication number: 20230392613Abstract: A blower mounting assembly of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a bracket assembly including a base panel, a plurality of mounting flanges extending from the base panel, and an alignment flange extending from and transverse to the base panel. The blower mounting assembly includes a first mounting aperture extending through the base panel in a first direction and includes second mounting apertures extending through the plurality of mounting flanges in a second direction transverse to the first direction. The blower mounting assembly includes a bolt configured to extend through and slidably engage with an aperture of the alignment flange and a blower mounting skid such that the bolt limits movement of the blower mounting skid relative to the bracket assembly. The aperture of the alignment flange extends through the alignment flange in a third direction transverse to the first mounting aperture and the second mounting apertures.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Vinay Nanjappa, Nitin C.

Patent number: 11371599Abstract: The system and methods described herein provide a fan belt guard housing configured to contain a fan belt of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit. The fan belt guard housing includes a frame having a first lateral strut, a first flange extending from the first lateral strut, and a second flange extending from the first lateral strut, where the first flange is offset from the second flange to define a gap therebetween. The fan belt guard housing also includes an access panel configured to removably couple to the frame, where the access panel includes a cutout formed in an outer edge of the access panel, and the cutout is configured to align with the second flange of the frame such that the access panel can then slide along the first flange to position the outer edge of the access panel within the gap and capture the access panel between the first flange and the second flange in an installed configuration of the access panel.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Johnson Controls Tyco IP Holdings LLPInventors: Nitin C. Dabade, Vishal S. Jagtap, Ravindra B. Salunkhe, Vijay A. Ramakrishna Rao, Pavankumar R. Toraskar
