Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a clothes treatment device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The drum washing machine originated in Europe, and the washing method is designed by imitating the principle of hammering clothes. The mechanical work of the motor is used to rotate the drum, and the clothes are repeatedly lifted and dropped in the drum, and the clothes are washed clean under the combined action of the washing powder and water. Due to the special washing principle of the drum washing machine, a number of heavy cement blocks or cast iron pieces are needed to balance the huge centrifugal force generated when the drum rotates, so the weight of the drum washing machine is much higher than that of the pulsator washing machine, which is not easy to transport and move, and brings pain points to the logistics chain and users and increases the logistics cost.

[0003] At present, the drum washing machine uses cement blocks or cast iron pieces for counterweight to balance the huge centrifugal force generated when the drum rotates. Although the centrifugal force is balanced, the weight of the drum washing machine is greatly increased, which increases the cost and is not convenient to move.

[0004] A drum washing machine is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN201811377498.8, which has a box body and an outer drum arranged in the box body. The outer drum is hung in the box body by a damping hanger, which is hung on the side panel of the box body near the rear panel. A shock absorber is arranged between the outer drum and the box body, and the shock absorber is located on both sides of the outer drum and is arranged in a staggered manner.

[0005] The damping hanger in this patent is generally used for the pulsator washing machine, and the pulsator washing machine generally vibrates horizontally and circumferentially, and the inner drum generally vibrates with a small amplitude up and down. Therefore, the damping hanger is applied to the drum washing machine, and the damping hanger can obviously damp the front-back and left-right vibrations in the horizontal direction, but the drum rotates in the drum washing machine and also has a vertical vibration, and the damping effect of the damping hanger on the vertical vibration is not significant. Therefore, the damping effect of the damping hanger in this patent has disadvantages.

[0006] In view of this, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0023] One end of the connecting arm provided with the hinge hole is arranged in the receiving groove, and the connecting member sequentially passes through the mounting through hole and the hinge hole to realize the hinged connection between the stabilizing link and the connecting arm.

[0024] Preferably, the connecting member is a bolt connecting member.

[0025] Through the above design, the hinge part is simple and compact in structure, easy to process, and can be an integral structure with the stabilizing link, which is good in structural strength and hinging effect, and saves materials and costs.

[0026] Further, the hinge part comprises a receiving groove arranged at the end of the stabilizing link for accommodating the connecting arm, and mounting through holes are arranged on the opposite side walls of the receiving groove respectively;

[0027] The top wall is connected and fixed with the end of the stabilizing link, and the receiving groove is formed between the first side wall, the second side wall and the top wall, and the mounting through holes are arranged on the first side wall and the second side wall.

[0028] Through the above design, the end of the stabilizing link is connected by the top wall, so that the size of the connecting arm is not limited by the stabilizing link.

[0029] Further, the other end of the stabilizing link is provided with a connecting part, and the outer cylinder is provided with a mounting part for limiting cooperation with the connecting part.

[0030] Preferably, the connecting part is a connecting shaft arranged transversely on the end of the stabilizing link, and the mounting part is a limiting groove arranged correspondingly on the outer cylinder, and the connecting shaft is supported and limited in the limiting groove.

[0031] Preferably, the limiting groove is a blind hole reserved on the outer cylinder.

[0032] Through the above design, the stabilizing link is limited and cooperated with the mounting part of the outer cylinder through the connecting part, which plays a limiting and supporting role on the outer cylinder, so that the outer cylinder drives the stabilizing link to move when vibrating, thereby realizing the role of the stabilizing device in slowing down vibration and stabilizing the outer cylinder.

[0033] Further, the limiting groove comprises a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove symmetrically arranged on the peripheral wall of the outer cylinder, wherein the first limiting groove cooperates with the first stabilizing link, and the second limiting groove cooperates with the second stabilizing link.

[0034] Preferably, the line connecting the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove passes through the central axis of the outer cylinder, and the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are arranged at the middle part of the outer cylinder or close to the cylinder port side along the central axis direction of the outer cylinder.

The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but not to limit the scope of the present application.

[0059] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0060] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connecting" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0061] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0062] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the present application provides a clothes treatment apparatus, comprising:

[0063] a box body 1;

[0064] an outer cylinder 2 arranged in the box body 1;

[0065] a stabilizing device 3 connected between the outer cylinder 2 and the box body 1, for balancing and stabilizing the outer cylinder 2, the stabilizing device 3 comprising:

[0066] The torsion support 30 is rotatably supported at both ends in the cabinet 1;

[0067] The stabilizing link 31 is movably connected to the torsion support 30 at one end and is supported to the outer drum 2 at the other end, and the stabilizing link 31 includes a first stabilizing link 32 and a second stabilizing link 33 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer drum 2.

[0068] The stabilizing device 3 can balance the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the outer drum 2, thereby reducing the vibration of the outer drum 2. The stabilizing device 3 is light in weight and low in cost, which can not only reduce the vibration of the outer drum 2, but also reduce the weight of the laundry treatment apparatus, making it convenient to transport and move.

[0069] The stabilizing device 3 of the present application has the characteristics of light weight and easy disassembly, and can replace the counterweight to balance the vibration of the outer drum 2, and also can reduce the weight of the laundry treatment apparatus itself, thereby reducing the cost and facilitating the transportation and moving. Compared with the complex suspension system, the stabilizing device 3 of the present application has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble. The present application can well balance the centrifugal force of the outer drum 2, reduce the vibration of the outer drum 2, and make the laundry treatment apparatus in a better balanced state, thereby having a good vibration reduction effect. It is a new vibration reduction device which is not used in the prior art.

[0070] The vibration reduction process is as follows: when the laundry treatment apparatus is working, the outer drum 2 rotates to generate centrifugal force, which causes the outer drum 2 to vibrate in the circumferential direction. Due to the influence of gravity, the vibration of the outer drum 2 in the vertical direction is particularly large. The stabilizing device of the present application mainly reduces the vibration of the outer drum in the vertical direction. When the outer drum 2 moves in a certain direction (lower left), mainly referring to the upward and downward movement, the stabilizing link 31 (the first stabilizing link 32) connected to the outer drum 2 in the movement direction will also produce a corresponding direction displacement (downward movement). Since the stabilizing link 31 is movably connected to the torsion support 30, the displacement of the stabilizing link 31 will become the rotation of the torsion support 30. The torsion support 30 generates torsional deformation to provide a torsional reaction torque when subjected to a torque, so that the torsion support 30 is not easy to break, thereby prolonging the service life. The rotation of the torsion support 30 drives the other stabilizing link 31 (the second stabilizing link 33) to move in the same direction as the aforementioned stabilizing link (downward movement), thereby driving the outer drum 2 to move in the direction symmetrical to the vibration direction of the outer drum 2 (lower right), thereby achieving the purpose of balancing the outer drum 2 and reducing the vibration of the outer drum 2.

[0071] In order to make the stabilizing link 31 drive the torsion support 30 to rotate, a connecting arm is arranged between the stabilizing link and the torsion support shaft, and further, as shown in Figure 2 The torsion support 30 includes:

[0072] The torsion support shaft 300 is rotatably supported at both ends by the side wall of the box body 1.

[0073] The connecting arm 301 is fixed at one end to the torsion support shaft 300 and hinged at the other end to the stabilizing link 31, and is used to convert the displacement of the stabilizing link 31 into the rotation of the torsion support shaft 300 or to convert the rotation of the torsion support shaft 300 into the displacement of the stabilizing link 31.

[0074] The present application connects the stabilizing link 31 and the torsion support shaft 300 together through the connecting arm 301, so that when one of the stabilizing links moves, the connecting arm 301 hinged to the stabilizing link 31 rotates, in turn driving the torsion support shaft 300 fixed at one end of the connecting arm 301 to rotate, and the rotation of the torsion support shaft 300 is converted into the movement of the other stabilizing link, pulling the outer cylinder to move in the same direction (mainly in the up-down direction) to the side of the relative vibration, thereby achieving the purpose of balancing the outer cylinder 2 and slowing down the vibration.

[0075] Further, the connecting arm 301 comprises: a first connecting arm 302 and a second connecting arm 303, which are fixedly connected to the torsion support shaft 300 at positions close to the two side ends;

[0076] One end of the first connecting arm 302 and the second connecting arm 303 is connected to the torsion support shaft 300, and the other end is respectively provided with a hinged hole 304, and the end of the first stabilizing link 32 and the second stabilizing link 33 is respectively provided with a hinged part 34 matched with the hinged hole 304.

[0077] The present application connects the stabilizing link 31 and the torsion support shaft 300 rotatably through the connecting arm 301, so that when the outer cylinder 2 vibrates, one of the stabilizing links is displaced, and the stabilizing link 31 is hinged to the connecting arm 301 to rotate the torsion support shaft 300 and the connecting arm 301, driving the other stabilizing link to move in the same direction (mainly in the up-down direction), thereby achieving the purpose of weakening the vibration of the outer cylinder 2, and the hinged structure is simple and easy to process.

[0078] Further, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 The hinged part 34 comprises: a receiving groove 340 provided at the end of the stabilizing link 31 for accommodating the connecting arm 301, and mounting through holes 343 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the receiving groove 340;

[0079] One end of the connecting arm 301 provided with the hinged hole 304 is placed in the receiving groove 340, and the connecting piece 35 passes through the mounting through holes 343 and the hinged hole 304 in sequence to realize the hinged connection between the stabilizing link 31 and the connecting arm 301;

[0080] Preferably, the connecting piece 35 is a bolt connecting piece.

[0081] The hinge part 34 and the stabilizing link 31 can be integrally formed, so that the hinge part 34 and the stabilizing link 31 are more stable, and the hinge part 34 has the advantages of easy processing and low cost.

[0082] Further, the hinge part 34 comprises oppositely arranged first and second side walls 341 and 342, and a top wall 344 connected to the upper edges of the first and second side walls 341 and 342.

[0083] The top wall 344 is connected and fixed to the end of the stabilizing link 31, and the first and second side walls 341 and 342 and the top wall 344 form the accommodating groove 340, and the mounting through hole 343 is arranged on the first and second side walls 341 and 342.

[0084] The hinge part 34 and the stabilizing link 31 can be integrally formed, so that the hinge part 34 and the stabilizing link 31 are more stable, and the hinge part 34 has the advantages of easy processing and low cost.

[0085] Further, the stabilizing link 31 is provided with a connecting part 36 at the other end, and the outer cylinder 2 is provided with a mounting part for limiting cooperation with the connecting part 36.

[0086] Preferably, the connecting part 36 is a connecting shaft 360 transversely arranged on the end of the stabilizing link 31, and the mounting part is a limiting groove correspondingly arranged on the outer cylinder 2, and the connecting shaft 360 is supported and limited in the limiting groove.

[0087] Preferably, the limiting groove is a blind hole reserved on the outer cylinder 2.

[0088] The connecting part 36 is a connecting shaft 360 transversely arranged on the end of the stabilizing link 31, so that the stabilizing link 31 is simple in structure, easy to process and low in cost, and the connecting part 36 can be integrally formed with the stabilizing link 31 to enhance the structural strength; the mounting part can also be a reinforcing structure integrally formed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 2, and the limiting groove is arranged on the reinforcing structure, and the shape of the connecting shaft 360 and the limiting groove (not shown) is not limited, and the limiting groove is preferably a polygon with edges, which can better limit the position.

[0089] Further, the limiting grooves include a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove symmetrically arranged on the peripheral wall of the outer cylinder 2, wherein the first limiting groove is matched with the first stabilizing link 32, and the second limiting groove is matched with the second stabilizing link 33.

[0090] Preferably, the connecting line of the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove passes through the central axis of the outer cylinder 2, and the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are arranged at the middle part of the outer cylinder 2 or close to the cylinder port side along the direction of the central axis of the outer cylinder 2.

[0091] The first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are symmetrically arranged, and the connecting line of the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove also passes through the central axis of the outer cylinder 2, so that the first stabilizing link 32 and the second stabilizing link 33 are arranged on both sides of the outer cylinder 2 instead of the bottom of the outer cylinder 2, so that the stabilizing device 3 not only balances the vibration in the up-down direction of the outer cylinder 2, but also balances the vibration in the left-right direction of the outer cylinder 2 through clamping, thereby achieving the purpose of balancing and stabilizing the outer cylinder 2. The "middle part" of the outer cylinder 2 does not only refer to the geometric center of the outer cylinder 2, but also refers to the middle part of the axial region of the outer cylinder 2. Generally, the farther the outer cylinder 2 is from the bottom, the greater the vibration is, and the more obvious it is. Therefore, arranging the stabilizing device 3 close to the cylinder port side can better balance the vibration of the outer cylinder 2.

[0092] Further, the first connecting arm 302 and the second connecting arm 303 are rigidly connected to both ends of the torsion support shaft 300, wherein the vertical distance between the first connecting arm 302 and the second connecting arm 303 is slightly greater than the diameter of the outer cylinder 2.

[0093] Preferably, one end of each of the first connecting arm 302 and the second connecting arm 303 is provided with a connecting hole 305, and the connecting hole 305 is in interference fit with the torsion support shaft 300.

[0094] The first connecting arm 302 and the second connecting arm 303 can be connected to the torsion support shaft 300 through thermal fit, so that the first connecting arm 302 and the second connecting arm 303 cannot rotate relative to the torsion support shaft 300, thereby achieving the purpose of vibration reduction of the stabilizing device 3. The vertical distance between the first connecting arm 302 and the second connecting arm 303 is slightly greater than the diameter of the outer cylinder 2, or the vertical distance between the first connecting arm 302 and the second connecting arm 303 matches the outer diameter of the outer cylinder 2. During the installation process, there may be a small error, and the technical personnel can adjust it in real time, so that the stabilizing link 31 and the torsion support shaft 300 can be kept in a vertical state as much as possible, the horizontal component force of the connecting arm 301 is reduced, the horizontal movement of the connecting arm 301 is avoided, the vibration of the outer cylinder 2 is better balanced, and the service life of the stabilizing device 3 is prolonged.

[0095] Furthermore, the torsion support shaft 300 is located above or below the outer cylinder 2;

[0096] Preferably, the torsion support shaft 300 is located below the outer cylinder 2;

[0097] More preferably, the torsion support shaft 300 is located below the outer cylinder 2 near the cylinder opening.

[0098] The present invention does not limit the position of the torsion support shaft 300, but placing the torsion support shaft 300 above or below the outer cylinder 2 will have a better vibration reduction effect. In particular, the outer cylinder 2 is subject to gravity, and the vertical vibration is particularly obvious. Placing the torsion support shaft 300 below the outer cylinder 2 results in a lower overall center of gravity, which can better support and limit the outer cylinder 2. While reducing the vibration of the outer cylinder 2, the vibration of the stabilizing device 3 itself will also be smaller, and the vibration reduction effect will be better. Since the cylinder opening is far from the bottom of the outer cylinder 2, the vibration amplitude is larger. Therefore, when the stabilizing device 3 is closer to the cylinder opening, the vibration reduction effect is more significant.

[0099] Furthermore, both ends of the torsion support shaft 300 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 1;

[0100] Preferably, the opposite side walls of the housing 1 are respectively provided with pivot holes that rotatably engage with the torsion support shaft 300;

[0101] Preferably, the torsion support shaft 300 is made of spring steel.

[0102] The pivot hole can be directly set on the housing 1, and both ends of the torsion support shaft 300 can be directly set in the pivot hole. Alternatively, a separate mounting base can be set on the housing 1, with the pivot hole set on the mounting base to prevent the pivot hole from affecting the structural strength of the housing 1 if the side wall of the housing is thin. The mounting base can be integrally formed with the housing 1 or detachably set on the housing 1. Those skilled in the art can make improvements according to the actual situation. Alternatively, a support base can be set at the bottom or top of the housing 1, with the support base close to the side wall of the housing 1. A pivot hole is set on the support base, and the two ends of the torsion support shaft 300 are connected to bearing seats. The bearing seats are set in the pivot hole to achieve a rotatable support connection between the torsion support shaft 300 and the housing 1.

[0103] The torsion support shaft 300 can be made of spring steel or other elastic rigid materials, making it less prone to breakage when torque is applied to one end. The stabilizing device of this invention can be installed with simple modifications to existing garment processing equipment, making installation convenient and cost-effective.

[0104] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in any form. Although the present application has been disclosed with the preferred embodiments as above, it is not intended to limit the present application, and any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-mentioned technical content with the prompt as equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes without departing from the technical solution of the present application. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application, which does not depart from the technical solution of the present application, still belongs to the scope of the present application.
