Tripod for washing machine and washing machine having same

Abstract

The invention discloses a tripod for a washing machine and a washing machine having the same. The tripod for a washing machine includes a tripod body, and the tripod body is provided with three legs extending outward from the center of the tripod body, and the three leg edges The tripod body is circumferentially spaced apart and has an included angle of 120 degrees between adjacent legs. Each leg is provided with a reinforcing rib. The reinforcing rib includes a first reinforcing rib and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs. The radial extension of the tripod bracket, a plurality of second reinforcing ribs are arranged in pairs, and the two second reinforcing ribs of each pair form a substantially V-shape, and the two second reinforcing ribs of each pair are respectively located on both sides of the first reinforcing rib And they extend obliquely toward the center of the tripod body, and the angle between each second reinforcing rib and the first reinforcing rib is 0-50 degrees. The tripod for a washing machine according to the present invention can effectively disperse the radial force transmitted from the inner tube of the washing machine to the tripod and improve the structural strength of the tripod.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a tripod for a washing machine and a washing machine with the tripod. Background technique [0002] Drum washing machines are widely popularized among washing machines due to their small damage to clothes, energy saving and water saving. In order to ensure that the washing machine can work smoothly during the washing and dehydration process, a tripod is used to fix the washing tub on the rotating shaft. During work, the motor drives the tripod and the washing bucket to rotate at high speed, and the tripod fixes and supports the washing bucket. In order to make the washing and dehydration process go smoothly, the tripod must have sufficient rigidity and strength. For this reason, existing tripods are provided with a large number of reinforcing ribs, including circumferential and radial reinforcing ribs, but the circumferential reinforcing ribs are mostly perpendicular...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For this reason, existing tripods are provided with a large number of reinforcing ribs, including circumferential and radial reinforcing ribs, but the circumferential reinforcing ribs are mostly perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the radial reinforcing ribs, so that the second reinforcing ribs do not disperse substantially. The capacity of the radial force transmitted by the barrel, while the tripod is mainly subjected to radial force and is very large when the washing machine rotates at high speed, so the arrangement of ribs will increase the material used for the tripod and increase the cost

And because there are too many reinforcing ribs, especially the gap between the reinforcing ribs sandwiched between the tripod and the washing tub cannot be washed away, the dirt of the washing machine is easy to attach to the reinforcing ribs to breed bacteria, causing secondary pollution of the laundry, and Accelerates corrosion of tripods and shortens washing machine life
