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.

Embodiment 1

[0037] Such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a footing for a household appliance in this embodiment includes:

[0038] Hydraulic plate 100;

[0039] The sheath 200 is fixedly connected with the hydraulic plate 100;

[0040] The adjustment foot 300 is arranged in the sheath 200 and can move axially relative thereto, and has a support end that is in support contact with the support surface;

[0041] An accommodation chamber is formed between the hydraulic plate 100, the sheath 200 and the adjustment foot 300;

[0042] The hydraulic medium is sealed and accommodated in the containing chamber. Under the action of pressure, the hydraulic medium compresses / expands, driving the adjusting foot 300 to move axially in the sheath 200 for leveling;

[0043] And the damping washer 400 is embedded and installed on the supporting end of the adjusting foot 300 to increase the supporting damping force between the adjusting foot 300 and the supporting surface.

[0044] The feet for household...

Embodiment 2

[0064] Such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a footing for a household appliance in this embodiment includes:

[0065] Hydraulic plate 100;

[0066] The sheath 200 is fixedly connected with the hydraulic plate 100;

[0067] The adjustment foot 300 is arranged in the sheath 200 and can move axially relative thereto;

[0068] An accommodation chamber is formed between the hydraulic plate 100, the sheath 200 and the adjustment foot 300;

[0069] The hydraulic medium is arranged in the accommodating chamber, and as the pressure changes, the hydraulic medium compresses / expands to drive the adjustment foot 300 to move axially in the sheath 200 for leveling.

[0070] The feet for household appliances in this embodiment are based on the principle of hydraulic pressure. Due to the different pressures caused by unevenness, the fluidity of the hydraulic medium makes the adjustment feet automatically perform adaptive adjustments until the feet for household appliances reach balance, and...

Embodiment 3

[0126] This embodiment also provides a household appliance with the feet for household appliances as described in any of the above embodiments, including a housing, a plurality of the feet for household appliances are installed on the bottom of the housing, and the bottom for household appliances The hydraulic medium filled inside the feet can be circulated between the feet of household appliances for leveling.

[0127] Preferably, at least two feet for household appliances are connected through the communication device to realize the circulation of the hydraulic medium between the feet for household appliances.

[0128] The embodiment of the present invention takes the washing machine as an example to explain the principle and method of the invention for realizing the automatic leveling of the washing machine by using the feet of household appliances. Household appliances located in the pits on the ground have low feet. It can be known from this that the feet for household a...

Abstract

The invention provides a foot for a household appliance and a household appliance. The foot for a household appliance includes: a hydraulic plate; a sheath fixedly connected to the hydraulic plate; Move, with a support end that is in contact with the support surface; a housing chamber is formed between the hydraulic plate, the sheath and the adjustment foot; the hydraulic medium is sealed and accommodated in the housing chamber, and under pressure, the hydraulic medium Compression / expansion drives the adjustment foot to move axially in the sheath for leveling; and a damping gasket is embedded and installed on the support end of the adjustment foot to increase the support damping force between the adjustment foot and the support surface. The bottom foot of the household appliance of the present invention is embedded between the damping pad and the adjustment foot, and the embedded installation structure is reasonably arranged without affecting the height of the adjustment foot of the bottom foot of the household appliance. The connection strength of the adjustment feet is greatly improved, avoiding the possibility of the damping gasket falling off.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of support and leveling of household appliances, in particular to a household appliance foot and the household appliance. 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] Taking the washing machine as an example, the existing washing machines are generally equipped with bolt feet at the bottom of the shell or the whole machine. The bolt feet include screw rods, nut washers and rubber pads. The nut washers can be rotated up and down on the screw rods, and the screw rods can also be Rotate up and down in the screw hole of the bottom plate of the shell, and adjust the height of the washing machine by screwing...
