Washing machine feet with automatic levelling function and washing machine

Abstract

The invention provides washing machine feet with an automatic levelling function and a washing machine. The bottom of the washing machine is provided with the multiple feet; each foot comprises a fixed part and a moving part, a hollow chamber is formed between each fixed part and the corresponding moving part, and each hollow chamber is filled with a hydraulic medium; every two related feet are mutually connected by a high-pressure oil pipe, so that the hollow chambers of the two feet are mutually communicated, or all the feet are respectively connected to a communicating device by high-pressure oil pipes, so that the hollow chambers of all the feet are mutually communicated; under the action of pressure, the hydraulic medium can flow among the mutually-communicated hollow chambers of the feet to enable the moving parts to stretch and retract, and automatic levelling is performed. The washing machine feet with the automatic levelling function has the advantages that according to a hydraulic principle, each foot is filled with the hydraulic medium, and is enabled to perform adaptive adjustment because of the fluidity of the hydraulic medium under different pressures, the hydraulic medium can flow among the feet, the adjustment range is bigger, and the effect is better.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laundry equipment, in particular to a washing machine foot with an automatic leveling function and a washing machine. Background technique [0002] Household appliances are generally equipped with a leveling device at the bottom of the shell. When placing the household appliance, the leveling device can be adjusted to make it reach a stable placement state. After leveling and placing, the leveling device can support the household appliance to keep it Stablize. [0003] Take the washing machine as an example, such as figure 1 As shown, the existing washing machine is generally equipped with feet on the bottom plate 901 of the shell or the bottom of the whole machine. The feet include a screw rod A, a nut washer B and a rubber pad C, and the nut washer B can rotate up and down on the screw rod A. , the screw A can also rotate up and down in the screw hole of the bottom plate 901, and the height adjustment...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although the feet of the above-mentioned washing machine realize the leveling of the washing machine, the user needs to manually adjust it. If the washing machine has a large weight or the installation space is small, the user's operation is inconvenient

In addition, the vibration of the washing machine during the long-term working process also has an effect on the leveling feet, which can easily lead to the failure of its support and cause the washing machine to be placed unevenly.

[0005] For example, the existing 8KG drum washing machine is generally about 80Kg, which is relatively heavy, and it is extremely inconvenient for consumers to adjust. Even if the adjustment is completed, the washing machine cannot be adjusted to the best state. The washing machine is accelerated from 0r / min to about 1400r / min for washing. During drying and dehydration, once the washing machine is not level or there is a problem with weak legs, it will cause great vibration, which greatly affects the comfort of consumers

[0006] Also, the vibration caused by the unevenness of the washing machine may loosen the foot screws, causing the foot bracket to move vertically, this instability may change the level of the washing machine, resulting in stronger vibration

This vicious cycle makes the washing machine use for a long time, the noise will become louder, and it will also cause some damage to the washing machine itself, shortening the service life.

[0007] Therefore, the leveling of the existing washing machine requires manual adjustment, which is time-consuming, laborious and has poor precision.
