DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0059] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular forms "a," "the," and "the" used in the embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. "A plurality" generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.

[0061] It should be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein is merely a description of the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0062] It should also be noted that the terms "include," "comprises," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such product or system. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprises a..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system comprising the element.

[0063] The present invention uses a pipeline installation structure to install pipelines and lines between two relatively moving parts, so that the pipelines and lines can move with the parts while being well protected, reducing the impact of movement on the pipelines and improving stability. It can also achieve pipeline separation to improve safety. In addition, the installation structure is easy to install, compact, and can be used in narrow spaces, with a wider range of applications. Figures 1-13 The present invention is described in detail.

[0064] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a pipeline installation structure, which is arranged between a first component and a second component that are relatively movable, and is used to install connecting pipes and / or lines between the first component and the second component, such as water inlet pipes, drainage pipes, power supply lines, control lines, etc. The pipeline installation structure includes:

[0065] A first mounting seat 10 is hinged to the first component;

[0066] A second mounting base 20, hinged to the second component;

[0067] The first mounting seat 10 and the second mounting seat 20 are connected by a connecting structure.

[0068] The connection structure includes:

[0069] The connecting rod structure 30 is hinged to the first mounting seat 10 and the second mounting seat 20 respectively, and is used to fix the pipeline and / or line; and / or,

[0070] The telescopic structure 40 includes a first portion 41 connected to the first mounting seat 10 and a second portion 42 connected to the second mounting seat 20. The first portion 41 and the second portion 42 are slidably connected, and an installation space for pipe and / or line settings is formed on the telescopic structure 40.

[0071]

Connecting rod structure

[0072] Specifically, if Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, the connecting rod structure 30 includes:

[0073] A first connecting rod 31, a first end of the first connecting rod 31 is hinged to the first mounting seat 10;

[0074] a second connecting rod 32 , wherein a first end of the second connecting rod 32 is hinged to a second end of the first connecting rod 31 ;

[0075] The third connecting rod 33 has a first end hinged to the second end of the second connecting rod 32, and a second end hinged to the second mounting base 20. Preferably, the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32, and the third connecting rod 33 are connected by a rotating shaft. The first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32, and the third connecting rod 33 are each provided with a hinge hole at both ends. The hinge connection between the two connecting rods is achieved by inserting a rotating shaft, a connecting pin, or other structures into the two hinge holes. The first connecting rod 31 and the third connecting rod 33 are hinged at both ends of the second connecting rod 32. The first connecting rod 31 and the third connecting rod 33 form an angle with the second connecting rod 32, and the angle can change with the relative movement of the first mounting base 10 and the second mounting base 20, thereby achieving the extension and contraction of the overall length of the connecting rod structure 30. Preferably, in other embodiments, the connecting rod structure 30 can also be provided with more connecting rods, such as four connecting rods, five connecting rods, etc., which can be set as needed.

[0076] Alternatively, the connecting rod structure 30 may be replaced by a structure similar to the connecting rod structure 30. For example, the connecting rod structure 30 may be replaced by a drag chain structure, and a connecting cavity for setting up pipelines or lines is formed inside the drag chain structure.

[0077] In this embodiment, a fixing structure is provided on the first connecting rod 31 and / or the second connecting rod 32 and / or the third connecting rod 33, and the fixing structure is used to fix the pipeline and / or line. It is preferred to provide a fixing structure on the three connecting rods at the same time to make the fixation of the pipeline and / or line more reliable and enable the pipeline and / or line to be arranged along the connecting rod structure 30.

[0078] Preferably, the fixing structure includes a first clamping structure for fixing the line, and / or a second clamping structure for fixing the pipeline. In this embodiment, the first clamping structure and the second clamping structure are provided at the same time.

[0079] Furthermore, the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33 are constructed as a plate-like structure. The connecting rod structure 30 formed by the three is connected and includes a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface. A first clamping structure is formed on the first mounting surface for fixing circuits, such as power supply and control circuits, etc.; a second clamping structure is formed on the second mounting surface for fixing pipelines, such as water inlet and drainage pipelines, etc. The first clamping structure and the second clamping structure are respectively formed on the two surfaces of the connecting rod structure 30 to separate the waterway and the circuit to avoid mutual influence between water and electricity.

[0080] like Figure 7-Figure 8As shown, the first clamping structure preferably includes a strong current clamping structure 301 for fixing the power supply line, and a weak current clamping structure 302 for fixing the control line, so as to achieve the separation of strong current and weak current, make the line layout more tidy, and avoid mutual interference between strong current and weak current.

[0081] The second connecting structure includes a water pipe slot for connecting the water pipe. Preferably, the water pipe slots are provided on the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32, and the third connecting rod 33, so that the water pipe can be arranged along the connecting rod structure 30. In this embodiment, an anti-freeze crack structure 34 is provided on the waterway. The anti-freeze crack structure 34 is connected to the waterway as part of the waterway. Preferably, the second connecting rod 32 is located at the low point of the connecting rod structure 30. The anti-freeze crack structure 34 is provided on the second connecting rod. The water pipe is divided into two parts, which are respectively connected to the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32, and then connected to the anti-freeze crack structure 34 at the same time.

[0082] like Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, when the anti-freeze cracking structure 34 is provided, the second connecting rod 32 does not need to be provided with a water pipe slot. Furthermore, in order to cooperate with the installation of the anti-freeze cracking structure 34, a first water pipe slot 304 is provided on the first connecting rod 31 near its first end, and a second water pipe slot 303 is provided near its second end (near the second connecting rod 32). The anti-freeze cracking structure 34 is located on the lower side of the second connecting rod 32, and the second water pipe slot 303 protrudes toward the lower side of the first connecting rod 31 to facilitate the pipe 60 to pass through the second water pipe slot 303 and connect to the anti-freeze cracking structure 34. In this embodiment, the third connecting rod 33 and the first connecting rod 31 form a symmetrical structure and are symmetrically provided at both ends of the second connecting rod 32.

[0083] Preferably, the anti-freeze cracking structure 34 includes a water flow channel 341, which is connected to the waterway for water circulation. Preferably, the water flow channel 341 is a tubular structure arranged along the extension direction of the second connecting rod 32, and its two ends are respectively used to communicate with the pipeline 60.

[0084] The anti-freeze crack structure also includes an air cavity 342, which is located on the upper side of the water flow channel 341 and is connected to the water flow channel 341 through a connecting hole 343. Preferably, the aperture of the connecting hole 343 is small. When water flows in the water flow channel 341, the water flow will block the connecting hole 343. Since there is air in the exhaust cavity 342, water will not enter the exhaust cavity 342. When the ambient temperature drops, the air in the air cavity 342 contracts, and the water in the water flow channel 341 freezes and expands in volume. Some of the water will enter the air cavity 342 through the connecting hole 343, thereby preventing the expansion of the frozen water from causing the pipeline to rupture. Since the anti-freeze crack structure 34 is located at the lowest point of the pipeline, a small amount of water remaining in the pipeline will remain in the water flow channel 341 of the anti-freeze crack structure 34, preventing ice from affecting the entire pipeline.

[0085]

Telescopic structure

[0086] In this embodiment, the telescopic structure 40 can be constructed as a connecting slide, including a first part 41 connected to the first mounting seat 10 and a second part 42 connected to the second mounting seat 20, the first part 41 and the second part 42 are slidably connected, wherein an installation cavity for line setting is formed inside the connecting slide; the outer wall of the connecting slide is used for installing pipelines.

[0087] Alternatively, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 13 As shown, the first part 41 is the first skateboard, and the second part 42 is the second skateboard. The first skateboard is formed with a groove 423 running through both ends of the board body along the extension direction of its board body; the second skateboard is slidably inserted into the notch of the groove 423 along the extension direction of the groove 423; the inner side wall of the first skateboard cooperates with the inner side wall of the first skateboard to form an installation cavity; the outer side wall of the first skateboard and / or the outer side wall of the second skateboard are used for installing pipes or lines.

[0088] A boss 424 is formed on the inner sidewall of the first slide, used to bend and arrange the wiring within the mounting cavity in a predetermined direction. The boss 424 is arranged along the extension of the slot, dividing the mounting cavity into two sub-circuit installation channels. The two sub-circuit installation channels are connected at the end where the second slide is inserted into the slot. A circuit fixing portion is provided on one side of the second slide along its extension. This portion secures a portion of the wiring and returns the wiring to its bent position when the second slide is inserted into the slot.

[0089] Preferably, the connecting slide further includes a winding structure (not shown) for winding the wire. The winding structure is rotatably disposed on the inner sidewall of the first slide or the inner sidewall of the second slide. When the second slide is pulled out of the first slide, the wire is guided out, and when the second slide is inserted into the first slide, the wire is automatically wound.

[0090] The first slide plate has a first line fixing portion at one end thereof close to the first mounting seat 10 for fixing the line; the second slide plate has a second line fixing portion at one end thereof close to the second mounting seat 20 for fixing the line.

[0091] Furthermore, the winding structure includes a rotating shaft and an elastic member. One end of the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner sidewall of the first slide or the inner sidewall of the second slide, and the other end is used to wind the wire. One end of the elastic member is fixed to the inner sidewall of the first slide or the inner sidewall of the second slide, and the other end is fixed to the shaft of the rotating shaft. The elastic member is used to provide a restoring force to restore the rotating shaft to its original position after a predetermined number of rotations.

[0092] It should be noted that when a connecting rod structure is also provided in the connection structure, the telescopic structure (connecting slide) may not be provided with an inner mounting cavity, that is, no line is installed, and only a water inlet pipe or a drainage pipe is fixed on the outer wall. The connection slide in this embodiment can be provided with buckles and other structures at appropriate positions on the outer walls of the first part 41 and the second part 42, respectively, to arrange the pipes to meet the movement requirements of the telescopic tube 50. In addition, the connection slide can also be provided with multiple groups between the two mounting seats according to actual needs. When multiple groups are provided, they can be arranged horizontally between the two mounting seats from top to bottom. Furthermore, when the connection slide can only be provided with pipes or lines and is used in combination with two slides, it is preferred that the lines are provided on the top and the pipes are provided on the bottom.

[0093] In other embodiments, Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 10 As shown, the telescopic structure 40 can be constructed as a telescopic cage structure. The first portion 41 of the telescopic structure 40 includes a plurality of first sliding rods 411 connected to the first mounting seat 10, and a first sliding ring 412 connected to the first sliding rods 411. Preferably, the plurality of first sliding rods 411 are evenly distributed along the same circumference, with the first ends of the plurality of first sliding rods 411 fixedly connected to the first mounting seat 10, and the second ends of the plurality of first sliding rods 411 distributed along the circumference and connected to the first sliding ring 412.

[0094] The second part 42 of the telescopic structure 40 includes a plurality of second sliding rods 421 connected to the second mounting seat 20, and a second sliding ring 422 connected to the second sliding rods 421. Preferably, the plurality of second sliding rods 421 are evenly distributed along the same circumference, the first ends of the plurality of second sliding rods 421 are fixedly connected to the second mounting seat 20, and the second ends of the plurality of second sliding rods 421 are distributed along the circumference and connected to the second sliding ring 422.

[0095] The first sliding ring 412 slides onto the second sliding rod 421, and the second sliding ring 422 slides onto the first sliding rod 411. The first sliding ring 412 is positioned between the second sliding ring 422 and the second mounting base 20, and the second sliding ring 422 is positioned between the first sliding ring 412 and the first mounting base 10. The first sliding ring 412 and the second sliding ring 422 are mutually restrained, and the spaces between the multiple first sliding rods 411 and the multiple second sliding rods 421 collectively constitute the mounting space. The first portion 41 and the second portion 42 can achieve overall telescopic expansion and contraction by sliding relative to each other, thereby changing the length of the telescopic structure 40, and thus the length of the mounting space. Furthermore, the mutual restraint between the first sliding ring 412 and the second sliding ring 422 prevents the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 from separating.

[0096] Alternatively, the telescopic structure 40 can also be constructed as a sleeve assembly, that is, the first part 41 and the second part 42 are both constructed as cylindrical structures (not shown in the figure), which are put together and can slide relative to each other. Among them, the first part 41 and the second part 42 can be formed integrally with the first mounting seat 10 and the second mounting seat 20 respectively to simplify the assembly process. Furthermore, a guide structure is provided in the axial direction on the first part 41 and the second part 42. For example, the radial dimension of the first part 41 is smaller than the radial dimension of the second part 42. The first part 41 extends into the second part 42. A groove is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the first part 41 along its axial direction, and a protrusion is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the corresponding second part 42 along its axial direction. The protrusion extends into the groove and can slide relative to each other to guide the sliding of the first part 41 and the second part 42. Preferably, two grooves and two protrusions are provided; it is easy to think that a protrusion can also be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the first part 41 and a groove can be provided on the inner peripheral wall of the second part 42.

[0097] Alternatively, two or more telescopic structures 40 may be provided at the same time to facilitate the installation of different pipelines or lines. For example, two telescopic structures 40 may be provided, and the two telescopic structures 40 may adopt different structures or the same structure. Of course, more telescopic structures 40 may be provided as needed.

[0098]

Mounting seat

[0099] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first mounting base 10 includes:

[0100] The first fixed seat 11 is fixedly connected to the first component and is provided with a fixed connection portion. Preferably, the fixed connection portion is a plate-like structure including multiple through-holes, which can be fixedly connected to the first component via bolts or other connecting members. The fixed connection portion is provided with a rotating connection portion for hinged connection with the first rotating seat 12 or directly hinged with the telescopic structure.

[0101] Preferably, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown in Figure 11(a), the first fixing seat 11 is provided with a first pipe connector 111 for connecting to the pipeline. The first pipe connector 111 can be provided on the fixed connection portion, or a support plate can be provided on the fixed connection portion, and the first pipe connector 111 is provided on the support plate. By connecting the pipeline through the first pipe connector 111, the first pipe connector 111 can move synchronously with the movement of the entire installation structure, preventing the joint from loosening during movement and affecting the sealing. Furthermore, one or more first pipe connectors 111 can be provided, and the pipe diameters of multiple first pipe connectors 111 can be different to facilitate the installation of a variety of different pipelines.

[0102] In some other embodiments, when the mounting base adopts two fixing bases, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown in Figure 11(b), the first mounting base 10 also includes a first rotating base 12, which can articulate the first fixed base 11 with the connecting rod structure 30 to achieve a movable connection. Accordingly, a rotating base can also be added to the telescopic structure 40 (connecting slide) to achieve a movable connection, or the connecting slide can be directly connected to the mounting base's rotating shaft (not shown). Furthermore, the second mounting base 20 can also adopt a structure similar to the first mounting base 10.

[0103] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, in some other embodiments, the first mounting seat 10 also includes a first rotating seat 12, which is hinged to the first fixed seat 11. The first rotating seat 12 includes a main body, which is constructed as a narrow and long plate-like structure. On one side thereof, a first rotating base 121 is provided to cooperate with the rotating connection part on the first fixed seat 11. Preferably, a rib is provided between the first rotating base 121 and the main body to increase the strength of the main body. The first rotating base 121 and the rotating connection part are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft, so that the first rotating seat 12 can rotate relative to the first fixed seat 11.

[0117] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first mounting seat 10 is installed on the left edge of the drawer-type processing bucket 1, and the second mounting seat 20 is installed on the right edge of the drawer-type processing bucket 1. When the drawer-type processing bucket 1 is pulled, the first rotating seat 12 and the second rotating seat 22 rotate, and the connecting rod structure 30 and the telescopic structure 40 extend. When the drawer-type processing bucket 1 is pushed, the first rotating seat 12 and the second rotating seat 22 are reversed, and the connecting rod structure 30 and the telescopic structure 40 shorten.

[0118] Moreover, when the drawer-type treatment barrel 1 is pushed to the innermost position of the frame 2, the connecting rod structure 30 and the telescopic structure 40 form a smaller angle with the back of the drawer-type treatment barrel 1, which can reduce the space they occupy, thereby reducing the gap between the back of the drawer-type treatment barrel 1 and the frame 2, so that the frame 2 and the entire machine can be smaller.

[0119] In this embodiment, the laundry processing device is a washing machine. The drawer-type processing tub 1 includes a drawer structure and a pulsator washing tub disposed therein. The strong and weak circuits of the pulsator washing tub's water inlet pipe are disposed on a connecting rod structure 30, and the drain pipe is disposed on a telescopic structure 40. Preferably, the connections between the water inlet and drain pipes and the drawer-type processing tub 1 are both made of bellows to prevent the connections from being pulled or excessively worn during pipe movement.

[0120] Furthermore, a reducing connector 70 is provided on the water inlet pipe, such as Figure 12 As shown, the reducer 70 includes an outlet end 72 with a larger diameter and an inlet end 71 with a smaller diameter. The inlet end 71 is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the outlet end 72 is connected to the inlet of the pulsator washing tub. When the incoming water flows from the inlet end 71 to the outlet end 72, the water pressure is reduced, preventing the incoming water from impacting the pulsator cover and causing a loud noise. Preferably, the reducer 70 is also provided with a mounting portion 73 for fixing the reducer 70.

[0121] The present invention realizes the installation of the pipeline or line connecting two moving parts through the pipeline installation structure, thereby avoiding the impact of movement on the pipeline and line, and can also realize pipeline separation to improve safety. In addition, the installation structure is easy to install, has a compact structure, can be used in narrow spaces, and has a wider range of applications.
