DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] The terms used in the embodiments of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0064] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0065] It should also be noted that the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a product or system including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such a product or system. In the absence of more restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the product or system including the elements.

[0066] The present invention installs the pipelines and lines between two relatively moving parts through the pipeline arrangement structure, so that the pipelines and lines can be well protected while moving with the parts, reducing the impact of the movement on the pipelines, improving stability, and realizing pipeline separation to improve safety. In addition, the installation structure is easy to install, compact in structure, can be used in narrow spaces, and has a wider range of applications. The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0067] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a pipeline arrangement structure, which is arranged between a first component and a second component that can move relatively, and is used to install connecting pipelines and / or lines between the first component and the second component, such as water inlet pipelines, drainage pipelines, power supply lines, control lines, etc. The pipeline arrangement structure includes: a first mounting seat 10 connected to the first component; a second mounting seat 20 connected to the second component; and a connecting structure connected between the first mounting seat 10 and the second mounting seat 20. The connecting structure can bend and / or expand and contract with the relative movement between the first component and the second component.

[0068] Furthermore, the connection structure includes:

[0069] A connecting rod structure 30, the two ends of which are respectively hinged to the first mounting seat 10 and the second mounting seat 20, for fixing the pipeline and / or line; and / or,

[0070] The telescopic assembly 40 includes 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, and an installation space or installation cavity for pipeline and / or line setting is formed on the telescopic assembly 40.

[0071]

Connecting rod structure

[0072] Specifically, Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the connecting rod structure 30 can be bent and deformed in multiple stages with the relative movement of the first mounting seat and the second mounting seat. Along the rod body of the connecting rod structure, fixed structures for separating and arranging pipelines and lines are provided on both sides of the rod body. The fixed structures include a pipeline fixing structure formed on one side of the rod body and a line fixing structure formed on the other side of the rod body corresponding to the pipeline fixing structure. 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, a first end of the second connecting rod 32 is hinged to the 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 seat 20 .

[0076] Preferably, the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33 are connected by a rotating shaft, and hinge holes are provided at both ends of the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33, and the hinge connection between the two connecting rods is realized by passing the rotating shaft, the connecting pin and other structures through 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, and an angle is formed between the first connecting rod 31 and the third connecting rod 33 and the second connecting rod 32, and the size of the angle can be changed with the relative movement of the first mounting seat 10 and the second mounting seat 20, so as to realize the telescopic 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.

[0077] Alternatively, a structure similar to the connecting rod structure 30 may be used to replace it, for example, a drag chain structure may be used to replace the connecting rod structure 30, and a connecting cavity for setting the pipeline and / or line is formed inside the drag chain structure. Each single chain of the drag chain is hinged in sequence, and can be bent and deformed with the movement of the first mounting seat and the second mounting seat, and the pipeline and / or line in the corresponding connecting cavity also undergoes corresponding deformation.

[0078] In this embodiment, at least one waterway adapter is provided on the connecting rod structure, which is used to connect the pipeline provided on the connecting rod structure. Preferably, waterway adapters are provided at both ends of the second connecting rod, and the opposite ports of the two waterway adapters are connected through a connecting pipe, and the opposite ports of the two waterway adapters are used to connect the pipelines as part of the pipeline. This method facilitates the connection of the pipeline and can ensure that the pipeline is not easily worn due to bending, thereby reducing the service life.

[0079] 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 the line. Preferably, the fixing structure is provided on the three connecting rods at the same time to make the fixation of the pipeline and / or the line more reliable and enable the pipeline and / or the line to be arranged along the connecting rod structure 30.

[0080] 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.

[0081] 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 connecting the three 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 two surfaces of the connecting rod structure 30 to separate the waterway and the circuit to avoid mutual influence between water and electricity.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, the first clamping structure preferably includes a high-voltage clamping structure 301 for fixing the power supply line, and a low-voltage clamping structure 302 for fixing the control line, so as to achieve separation of high-voltage and low-voltage, make the line layout neater, and avoid mutual interference between high-voltage and low-voltage.

[0083] The second clamping structure includes a water pipe clamping groove for clamping the water pipe. The water pipe clamping groove is preferably provided on the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32 and the third connecting rod 33 at the same time, so that the water pipe can be arranged along the connecting rod structure 30. In this embodiment, an anti-freezing cracking structure 34 is provided on the waterway, and the anti-freezing cracking structure 34 is connected to the waterway as a part of the waterway. Preferably, the second connecting rod 32 is located at the low point of the connecting rod structure 30, and the anti-freezing cracking structure 34 is provided on the second connecting rod. The water pipe is divided into two parts, which are clamped on the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 respectively, and then connected to the anti-freezing cracking structure 34 at the same time.

[0084] like Figure 6As shown, when the anti-freeze cracking structure 34 is provided, the water pipe slot does not need to be provided on the second connecting rod 32. Further, 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 position of the second connecting rod 32). The anti-freeze cracking structure 34 is located at the lower side of the second connecting rod 32, and the second water pipe slot 303 is formed to protrude toward the lower side of the first connecting rod 31, so as to facilitate the pipeline 60 to pass through the second water pipe slot 303 and connect with the anti-freeze cracking structure 34. In this embodiment, the third connecting rod 33 and the first connecting rod 31 form a symmetrical structure, which are symmetrically provided at both ends of the second connecting rod 32.

[0085]

Anti-freeze cracking

[0086] The connection structure also includes an anti-freezing crack structure, which is used to connect to the waterway and form a part of the waterway. The anti-freezing crack structure is preferably arranged on the second connecting rod. The anti-freezing crack structure includes a water flow channel, which is connected to the waterway and supplies water; and an air cavity, which is located on the upper side of the water flow channel and is connected to the water flow channel through a connecting hole; wherein part of the water in the water flow channel will enter the air cavity when it freezes.

[0087] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, preferably, the anti-freeze cracking structure 34 includes a water flow channel 341, which is connected to the water circuit 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.

[0088] The anti-freeze cracking 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 connecting hole 343 has a small aperture. When water flows in the water flow channel 341, the water flow will block the connecting hole 343, and because there is air in the exhaust cavity 342, water will not enter the exhaust cavity 342; when the ambient temperature decreases, the air in the air cavity 342 shrinks, and the water in the water flow channel 341 expands when it freezes, and a part of it will enter the air cavity 342 through the connecting hole 343, thereby preventing the expansion of the frozen water volume from causing the pipeline to rupture. Since the anti-freeze cracking 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 cracking structure 34, preventing the freezing from affecting the entire pipeline.

[0089] It is understandable that when the water circuit adapter is provided, the anti-freeze cracking structure can be detachably provided, that is, after the two ends of the anti-freeze cracking structure are connected to the water circuit adapter, other corresponding pipelines are connected.

[0090]

Telescopic components

[0091] like Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, in an embodiment, the telescopic component 40 can be telescopically deformed with the relative movement of the first mounting seat and the second mounting seat. The telescopic component 40 includes a first part connected to the first mounting seat and a second part connected to the second mounting seat. The first part and the second part are slidably connected, and an installation cavity / installation space for passing pipelines and / or line settings is formed in the telescopic component.

[0092] Specifically, the telescopic assembly 40 can be configured as a barrel assembly, that is, the first part 41 and the second part 42 are both configured as barrel structures, which are inserted together and can slide relative to each other. In this case, the barrel assembly includes a first barrel (i.e., the first part) connected to the first mounting seat 10 and a second barrel (i.e., the second part) connected to the second mounting seat 20. The first barrel and the second barrel are inserted together and can slide relative to each other, and a mounting cavity for setting pipelines and / or lines is formed in the barrel assembly.

[0093] Optionally, 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. Further, a guide structure is provided on the first part 41 and the second part 42 along the axial direction, 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 protrusion 413 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the first part 41 along its axial direction, and a groove 423 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the corresponding second part 42 along its axial direction, the protrusion 413 extends into the groove 423 and can slide with each other, guiding the sliding of the first part 41 and the second part 42, preferably, two grooves 423 and two protrusions 413 are provided; it is easy to think that a groove can also be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the first part 41, and a protrusion can be provided on the inner peripheral wall of the second part 42.

[0094] Alternatively, two or more telescopic components 40 may be provided at the same time to facilitate the installation of different pipelines or lines. For example, two telescopic components 40 may be provided, and the two telescopic components 40 may adopt different structures or the same structure. Of course, more telescopic components 40 may be provided as needed.

[0095] In addition, the pipes installed in the telescopic assembly, such as the water inlet pipe 81 and the drain pipe 82, can be adjusted according to the actual installation height and the number of installations. Optionally, a telescopic outer wall for winding the pipes is formed outside the cylinder assembly. The water inlet pipe 81 can be wound around the outer wall of the telescopic assembly composed of the first cylinder and the second cylinder, such as Fig.14 shown.

[0096] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the pipeline installed in the telescopic component section can be a bellows or other pipeline with a certain amount of telescopic deformation, which can be telescopically deformed with the telescopic component. When the pipeline is installed on the telescopic component, friction between the pipeline and the telescopic component may cause wear and leakage during the telescopic deformation. At this time, a circle of anti-wear ribs can be installed on the pipeline, and the cylinder component can use self-lubricating materials (such as POM).

[0097] In other embodiments, Figure 11-Figure 12 As shown, the telescopic assembly 40 can be constructed as a telescopic cage structure. Accordingly, the first part 41 of the telescopic assembly 40 includes a plurality of first slide bars 411 connected to the first mounting seat 10, and a first slide ring 412 connected to the first slide bars 411. Preferably, the plurality of first slide bars 411 are evenly distributed along the same circumference, the first ends of the plurality of first slide bars 411 are fixedly connected to the first mounting seat 10, and the second ends of the plurality of first slide bars 411 are distributed along the circumference and connected to the first slide ring 412.

[0098] The second part 42 of the telescopic assembly 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 circumferentially distributed and connected to the second sliding ring 422.

[0099] The first slide ring 412 is slidably mounted on the second slide bar 421, and the second slide ring 422 is slidably mounted on the first slide bar 411. The first slide ring 412 is located between the second slide ring 422 and the second mounting seat 20, and the second slide ring 422 is located between the first slide ring 412 and the first mounting seat 10. The first slide ring 412 and the second slide ring 422 are mutually limited, and the spaces between the plurality of first slide bars 411 and the plurality of second slide bars 421 together constitute the installation space. The first part 41 and the second part 42 can achieve overall telescopic expansion by relative sliding, change the length of the telescopic assembly 40, that is, change the length of the installation space, and the first part 41 and the second part 42 cannot be separated by the mutual limitation of the first slide ring 412 and the second slide ring 422.

[0100] In other embodiments, the telescopic assembly 40 can be configured as a telescopic slide (not shown in the figure). Accordingly, the first part is a first slide, and the second part is a second slide. The two slides cooperate to achieve telescoping, and buckles are provided at appropriate positions outside the first slide and the second slide, and the pipeline is fixed to both sides of the telescopic slide through the buckles. The interior of the telescopic slide has a corresponding connecting space, and the line is passed through the connecting space. The pipeline can adopt a corrugated pipe with a certain amount of telescopic deformation, and the line can be arranged by winding a coil spring provided inside the connecting space. When the telescopic slide is extended, the line is pulled out; when the telescopic slide is contracted, the line is rewound under the action of the restoring force of the coil spring.

[0101]

Mounting seat

[0102] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first mounting seat 10 includes:

[0103] The first fixed seat 11 is used for fixed connection with the first component. The first fixed seat 11 is provided with a fixed connection part. Preferably, the fixed connection part is constructed as a plate-like structure, including a plurality of through holes, and can be fixedly connected to the first component by connecting members such as bolts. The fixed connection part is provided with a rotating connection part for hinged connection with the first rotating seat 12.

[0104] Preferably, if Figure 9-13 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation and connection of the pipeline, a first pipeline connector 111 is provided on the first fixing seat 11 for communicating with the pipeline. The first pipeline connector 111 can be provided on the fixed connection part, or a support plate is provided on the fixed connection part, and the first pipeline connector 111 is provided on the support plate. The connection of the pipeline is achieved through the first pipeline connector 111, so that the first pipeline connector 111 can move synchronously during the movement of the entire installation structure, thereby avoiding loosening of the joint during the movement to affect the sealing.

[0120] Preferably, the pipeline arrangement structure is placed obliquely between the drawer-type treatment bucket 1 and the frame 2. During the extension and retraction process, the telescopic assembly simultaneously rotates in the horizontal direction. This oblique arrangement can ensure that the drawer-type treatment bucket 1 has the shortest distance from the frame 2 after being pushed in, and the space between the two can be fully utilized.

[0121] The first mounting seat 10 is installed on the drawer-type processing barrel 1, and the second mounting seat 20 is installed on the frame 2.

[0125] Furthermore, a reducing connector 70 is provided on the water inlet pipe. Fig.17 As shown, the reducer connector 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 pipeline, and the outlet end 72 is connected to the inlet of the pulsator washing bucket. When the inlet water flows from the inlet end 71 to the outlet end 72, the water inlet pressure can be reduced to prevent the inlet water from impacting the pulsator cover and causing a large water inlet abnormal sound. Preferably, the reducer connector 70 is also provided with a mounting portion 73 for fixing and mounting the reducer connector 70.

[0126] The present invention realizes the installation of the pipeline or line connected between two moving parts through the pipeline arrangement structure, thereby avoiding the influence 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.
