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.

[0056] The present invention utilizes a pipeline mounting structure to mount pipelines and circuits between two relatively moving components, allowing them to move with the components while remaining well protected. This reduces the impact of movement on the pipelines and improves stability. It also enables pipeline separation for enhanced safety. Furthermore, the mounting structure is easy to install, compact, and suitable for use in confined spaces, broadening its applicability. The present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0057] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 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:

[0058] The first mounting base 10 includes a first fixed base 11 and a first rotating base 12. The first rotating base 12 is connected to the first fixed base 11. There are two first fixed bases 11. The two first fixed bases 11 are hinged to the first rotating base 12 at the same time.

[0059] The second mounting base 20 includes a second fixed base 21 and a second rotating base 22. The second rotating base 21 is connected to the second fixed base 22. There are two second fixed bases 21. The two second fixed bases 21 are hinged to the second rotating base 22 at the same time.

[0060] The line mounting structure is connected to both the first rotating base 12 and the second rotating base 22, and changes length as the first rotating base 12 and the second rotating base 22 move. The line mounting structure includes a connecting rod structure 30, which is hinged to the first mounting base 10 and the second mounting base 20, respectively, for fixing the pipeline and the line;

[0061] The pipeline installation structure includes a drain pipe installation structure 40 and a water inlet pipe installation structure 80. The drain pipe installation structure 40 and the water inlet pipe installation structure 80 are telescopically arranged between the first installation seat 10 and the second installation seat 20 for installation of water inlet and outlet pipelines.

[0062] The drain pipe mounting structure 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 to form a telescopic cage structure. An installation space for pipeline setting is formed on the drain pipe mounting structure 40.

[0063] Specifically, the connecting rod structure 30 includes:

[0064] A first connecting rod 31, a first end of the first connecting rod 31 is hinged to the first mounting seat 10;

[0065] 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 ;

[0066] 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. Each end of the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32, and the third connecting rod 33 is provided with a hinge hole. 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., or two connecting rods can be provided. The arrangement can be as needed.

[0067] 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.

[0068] In this embodiment, a fixing structure is provided on the first connecting rod 31, the second connecting rod 32, and the third connecting rod 33. The fixing structure is used for the line. It is preferred to provide a fixing structure on the three connecting rods at the same time to make the fixation of the line more reliable and enable the line to be arranged along the connecting rod structure 30.

[0069] Preferably, the fixing structure includes a first clamping structure for fixing the circuit. 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 connecting rods includes a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface. A first clamping structure is formed on the first mounting surface for fixing the circuit, such as power supply, control circuit, etc.

[0070] The first clamping structure preferably includes a high-voltage clamping structure for fixing the power supply line and a low-voltage clamping structure for fixing the control line, so as to achieve the separation of high-voltage and low-voltage lines, make the line layout neater, and avoid mutual interference between high-voltage and low-voltage lines.

[0071] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown, the first part 41 of the drain pipe mounting 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, the first ends of the plurality of first sliding rods 411 are fixedly connected to the first mounting seat 10, and the second ends of the plurality of first sliding rods 411 are distributed along the circumference and connected to the first sliding ring 412.

[0072] The second part 42 of the drain pipe mounting 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.

[0073] The first sliding ring 412 is slidably mounted on the second sliding rod 421, and the second sliding ring 422 is slidably mounted on 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 limited, and the spaces between the multiple first sliding rods 411 and the multiple second sliding rods 421 together constitute the installation space. The first portion 41 and the second portion 42 can achieve overall expansion and contraction through relative sliding, thereby changing the length of the drainage pipe mounting structure 40, that is, changing the length of the installation space. The mutual limitation of the first sliding ring 412 and the second sliding ring 422 prevents the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 from separating, forming a telescopic cage structure. Within the telescopic cage structure, an installation structure is formed for installing the pipe.

[0074] Preferably, in other embodiments, the drain pipe mounting 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, which are inserted together and can slide relative to each other. 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 in the axial direction on the outer peripheral wall of the first part 41, and a protrusion is provided in the axial direction on the corresponding inner peripheral wall of the second part 42. The protrusion extends into the groove and can slide relative to each other, guiding the sliding of the first part 41 and the second part 42. Preferably, two grooves and two protrusions are provided. It is easy to imagine 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.

[0075] Alternatively, two or more drain pipe mounting structures 40 may be provided at the same time to facilitate the installation of different pipes or lines. For example, two drain pipe mounting structures 40 may be provided, and the two drain pipe mounting structures 40 may adopt different structures or the same structure. Of course, more drain pipe mounting structures 40 may be provided as needed.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the water inlet pipe mounting structure 80 includes a telescopic rod 81 and a telescopic cylinder 82. The telescopic rod 81 is mounted on a first mounting seat, and the telescopic cylinder 82 is mounted on a second mounting seat. The telescopic rod 81 extends into the telescopic cylinder 82 and can slide relative to the telescopic cylinder 82. Specifically, one end of the telescopic rod 81 is mounted on the first mounting seat, and the other end extends into the telescopic cylinder 82. The overall length of the water inlet pipe mounting structure 80 can be adjusted by relative sliding.

[0077] Preferably, the telescopic cylinder 82 is constructed as a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends, and the opening of the first end of the telescopic cylinder 82 protrudes radially inward to form a first limiting structure, and the second end of the telescopic cylinder 82 is connected to the second mounting seat. Preferably, a flange structure can be provided at the second end of the telescopic cylinder 82 to be connected to the second mounting seat through the flange structure; the first end of the telescopic rod 81 protrudes radially outward to form a second limiting structure, and the second end of the telescopic rod 81 extends from the first end of the telescopic cylinder 82 structure and is connected to the first mounting seat. Preferably, the second end of the telescopic rod 81 can be connected by a screw, or an external thread can be provided at the second end of the telescopic rod 81, and a threaded hole is provided on the first mounting seat accordingly, and the telescopic rod 81 is installed by threaded connection. The first limiting structure and the second limiting structure limit the telescopic rod 81 and the telescopic cylinder 82 are slidably connected, and the pipeline 60 is wrapped around the outer wall of the telescopic cylinder 82.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first mounting base 10 includes:

[0079] The first fixing seat 11 is used for fixed connection with the first component. The first fixing seat 11 is provided with a fixed connection portion. Preferably, the fixed connection portion is constructed as a plate-like structure including multiple through holes, and can be fixedly connected to the first component via a connecting member such as bolts. The fixed connection portion is provided with a rotating connection portion for hinged connection with the first rotating seat 12.

[0080] Preferably, if Figure 5As shown, 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. The connection of the pipeline is achieved through the first pipe connector 111, so that the first pipe connector 111 can move synchronously with the movement of the entire installation structure, avoiding loosening of the joint during movement and affecting the sealing. Furthermore, one or more first pipe connectors 111 can be provided, and the diameters of the multiple first pipe connectors 111 can be different to enable the installation of a variety of different pipelines.

[0081] The first mounting base 10 also includes a first rotating base 12, which is hinged to the first fixed base 11. The first rotating base 12 includes a main body, which is constructed as a narrow and long plate-like structure. On one side of the main body, a first rotating base 121 is provided to cooperate with the rotating connection portion on the first fixed base 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 portion are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft, so that the first rotating base 12 can rotate relative to the first fixed base 11. Preferably, in this embodiment, two first fixed bases 11 are provided, and the two first fixed bases 11 are arranged at a certain distance from each other, and the two first fixed bases 11 are arranged vertically up and down; correspondingly, two first rotating bases 121 are provided on the first rotating base 12, and the two first fixed bases 11 and the two first rotating bases 121 correspond to each other one by one to form two pairs of rotating cooperation. Furthermore, the two pairs of rotational fits are connected through a first connecting shaft 13 to facilitate assembly while also improving overall strength and stability. Similarly, two second fixed seats 21 are also provided, and two pairs of rotational fits are formed between the two second fixed seats 21 and the second rotating seat 22, and are connected through a second connecting shaft 23.

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, the first rotating seat 12 also includes: a first hinge portion 122 connected to the connecting rod structure 30, the first hinge portion 122 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod structure 30, and the first hinge portion 122 is at the upper end of the main body, preferably including two support portions, the two support portions are arranged opposite each other and spaced a certain distance apart, and the ends of the two support portions are each provided with a hinge hole, the axes of the two hinge holes are collinear, the end of the connecting rod structure 30 extends between the two support portions, and is passed through the two hinge holes and the connecting rod structure 30 by a pin or other structure to achieve hinge connection. It is easy to imagine that only one support portion can be provided to achieve hinge connection with the connecting rod structure 30.

[0083] The first rotating seat 12 also includes: a first fixing portion 123 connected to the first part 41, the first fixing portion 123 is arranged at the lower end of the main body, and a through hole connected to the installation space is provided on the first fixing portion 123, and a water pipe or line can pass through the through hole into the installation space.

[0084] Preferably, when multiple telescopic parts are provided, other mounting parts may be provided on the main body between the first hinge part 122 and the first fixed part 123 for installing more drain pipe mounting structures 40 or other structures.

[0085] The second mounting base 20 includes:

[0086] A second fixing seat 21, used for fixed connection with the second component;

[0087] The second rotating seat 22 is hinged to the second fixed seat 21.

[0088] The second rotating base 22 has the same structure as the first rotating base 12 and includes a main body with a second hinged portion 222 connected to the connecting rod structure 30, hingedly connected to one end of the connecting rod structure 30; and / or a second fixed portion 223 connected to the second portion 42, with a through hole provided in the second fixed portion 223 that communicates with the installation space. The main body also includes a second rotating base 221, which is rotatably connected to the second fixed base 21.

[0089] In this embodiment, the structure of the second fixing base 21 is identical to that of the first fixing base 11. A second pipe connector 211 is provided on the second fixing base 21 for connecting to a pipe. Alternatively, the structure of the second fixing base 21 may differ from that of the first fixing base 11 depending on its coordination with the second component, but the functions of the corresponding parts are the same. The second rotating base 22 is identical to the first rotating base 12 in structure, and the specific structure of the second mounting base 20 is not described in detail here. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the first mounting base 10 and the second mounting base 20 may be omitted, and the connecting rod structure 30, the drain pipe mounting structure 40, and the water inlet pipe mounting structure 80 may be connected to the first component and the second component respectively.

[0090] Preferably, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the apparatus further includes a telescopic tube 50, which is disposed within the installation space. The two ends of the telescopic tube 50 are connected to the first pipe connector 111 and the second pipe connector 211, respectively. The telescopic tube 50 is preferably a corrugated tube that can be connected to the water inlet or drain pipe. Alternatively, the corrugated tube can serve as a protective tube, fitted over the outside of a portion of the pipe to protect it. In this case, the bellows does not form part of the waterway and need not be connected to the first pipe connector 111 on the first fixing base 11 or the second pipe connector 211 on the second fixing base 21.

[0091] The present invention also provides a washing machine, such as Figure 6 As shown, including:

[0092] Frame 2, frame 2 is provided with a plurality of processing barrel installation positions for installing clothing processing barrels;

[0093] The laundry tub includes a drawer-type tub 1, which is slidably connected to a frame 2 and can be pulled out of the frame 2 for loading or unloading laundry, or pushed back into the frame 2. The drawer-type tub 1 constitutes the first component, and the frame 2 constitutes the second component. The aforementioned pipeline mounting structure is disposed between the first and second components, that is, the pipeline mounting structure is connected between the drawer-type tub 1 and the frame 2.

[0094] 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. The drawer-type processing barrel 1 is pulled out from the front side of the frame 2, and the second mounting seat 20 is installed on the rear side of the frame 2. When the drawer-type processing barrel 1 is pulled out or pushed, the pipeline mounting structure follows its movement to extend or contract as a whole.

[0095] 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 drain pipe mounting 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 drain pipe mounting structure 40 are shortened.

[0096] 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 drain pipe mounting 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.

[0097] In this embodiment, the washing machine is a washing machine, and the drawer-type treatment tub 1 includes a drawer structure and a pulsator washing tub disposed therein. The strong and weak circuits of the water inlet pipe of the pulsator washing tub are disposed on a connecting rod structure 30, and the drain pipe is disposed on a drain pipe mounting structure 40. Preferably, the connections between the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe and the drawer-type treatment tub 1 are both made of bellows to prevent the connections from being pulled or excessively worn during pipe movement.
