Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In garment processing devices, due to reasons such as product capacity and structural strength, the gap between the drum and the shell in the garment processing device is getting smaller and smaller.

[0003] Taking a top-loading washing machine as an example, during the spin-drying stage, unevenly placed clothes can easily cause the drum to slam against the water. To prevent this, a drum-slamming switch is installed at the corner of the washing machine. However, since the drum's vibrations mostly occur in the left-right direction, the switch may fail to detect these vibrations, leading to continuous drum-slamming and even the entire machine shifting. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in related technologies. To this end, this invention proposes a garment handling device that can accurately detect the vibration of the garment drum, reducing drum impacts and overall machine displacement.

[0005] This invention provides a garment processing device, comprising:

[0006] case;

[0007] A barrel body, wherein a connecting part is provided on the barrel body;

[0008] An adjusting component, wherein the first end of the adjusting component is sleeved on the connecting part and can move relative to the connecting part, and the second end of the adjusting component is connected to the housing, and the adjusting component is adapted to adjust the motion trajectory of the barrel during vibration.

[0009] According to the clothing handling device provided in this embodiment of the invention, an adjusting member is provided between the housing and the tub. When the amplitude of the tub's vibration is large, the adjusting member is adapted to adjust the movement trajectory of the tub during vibration. This allows the adjusting member to apply a force to the tub deviating from the direction of the impact switch when the tub vibrates, resulting in a corresponding decrease in the amplitude of the tub's vibration towards the adjusting member and a corresponding increase in the amplitude towards the impact switch. This enables the tub to trigger the impact switch in a timely manner, effectively alerting the user that the clothing in the tub is unevenly placed, facilitating timely adjustment. By fitting the first end of the adjusting member onto the connecting portion connected to the tub, and configuring the first end of the adjusting member to be movable relative to the connecting portion (i.e., by setting the structural dimension of the first end of the adjusting member to be larger than the outer diameter of the connecting portion), the first end of the adjusting member does not constrain the connecting portion when the amplitude of the tub's vibration is small, thus preventing collision between the connecting portion and the adjusting member and avoiding abnormal noise. When the amplitude of the bucket body is large, the first end of the adjusting component will apply a constraint force to the connecting part that deviates from the direction of the bucket-collision switch. Because the adjusting component applies a constraint force to the connecting part that deviates from the direction of the bucket-collision switch, the movement trajectory of the bucket body is closer to the bucket-collision switch, thereby increasing the probability of the bucket-collision switch being triggered, improving the detection accuracy of the bucket-collision switch for the bucket body vibration, and reducing the possibility of the bucket body hitting the shell and the clothing processing device being displaced or deflected.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the first end of the adjusting member contacts the connecting portion, the adjusting member is adapted to apply force to the barrel body in a direction deviating from the barrel-breaking switch.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first end of the adjusting member is provided with a first sleeve portion, the first sleeve portion is sleeved on the connecting portion and the inner diameter of the first sleeve portion is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting portion.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a lower side plate in a vertical position is provided on one side of the housing, and the second end of the adjusting member is connected to the lower side plate. The adjusting member is inclined relative to the plane of the lower side plate in the horizontal plane.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the angle between the line connecting the first end and the second end of the adjusting member and the plane where the lower side plate is located is greater than or equal to 30 degrees and less than or equal to 60 degrees.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second end of the adjusting member is provided with a second sleeve portion, the second sleeve portion being adapted to be connected to the lower side plate by a fastener.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the line connecting the first sleeve part and the second sleeve part is not collinear with the barrel switch.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the difference between the inner diameter of the first sleeve portion and the outer diameter of the connecting portion is greater than or equal to 15 mm and less than or equal to 30 mm.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting member includes an elastic element, which is in a natural state when the vibration amplitude of the barrel is less than a preset amplitude.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting member includes:

[0019] A sleeve, one end of which is fitted onto the connecting part;

[0020] A plunger, part of which is inserted into the sleeve, and the other part of which extends out of the sleeve and is connected to the housing, is provided between the sleeve and the plunger. When the vibration amplitude of the barrel is less than a preset amplitude, the spring is in a natural state.

[0021] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting portion is integrally formed with the barrel body, or,

[0022] The connecting part is detachably installed on the barrel body.

[0023] The above-described one or more technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention have at least one of the following technical effects:

[0024] According to the clothing handling device provided in this embodiment of the invention, an adjusting member is provided between the housing and the tub. This adjusting member is adapted to adjust the movement trajectory of the tub during vibration. When the tub experiences significant vibration, the adjusting member applies a force to the tub deviating from the direction of the impact switch. The amplitude of the tub's vibration in the direction of the adjusting member decreases accordingly, while the amplitude in the direction of the impact switch increases accordingly. This allows the tub to trigger the impact switch promptly, effectively alerting the user that the clothing in the tub is unevenly placed, facilitating timely adjustment. By fitting the first end of the adjusting member onto the connecting portion connected to the tub, and configuring the first end of the adjusting member to move relative to the connecting portion—that is, by setting the structural dimension of the first end of the adjusting member to be larger than the outer diameter of the connecting portion—the first end of the adjusting member does not constrain the connecting portion when the amplitude of the tub's vibration is small. This prevents the connecting portion from colliding with the adjusting member, avoiding abnormal noise. When the amplitude of the bucket body is large, the first end of the adjusting component will apply a constraint force to the connecting part that deviates from the direction of the bucket-collision switch. Because the adjusting component applies a constraint force to the connecting part that deviates from the direction of the bucket-collision switch, the movement trajectory of the bucket body is closer to the bucket-collision switch, thereby increasing the probability of the bucket-collision switch being triggered, improving the detection accuracy of the bucket-collision switch for the bucket body vibration, and reducing the possibility of the bucket body hitting the shell and the clothing processing device being displaced or deflected.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a garment processing device, including a housing 100, a tub 102, and an adjusting member 106; in an embodiment of the present invention, a connecting portion 104 is provided on the tub 102; the first end of the adjusting member 106 is sleeved on the connecting portion 104 and can move relative to the connecting portion 104, and the movement here can be directed in any direction; the second end of the adjusting member 106 is connected to the housing 100, and the adjusting member 106 is adapted to adjust the movement trajectory generated by the tub 102 during vibration.

[0042] According to the clothing handling device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, by providing an adjusting member 106 between the housing 100 and the tub 102, and when the amplitude of the tub 102 is large, the adjusting member 106 is adapted to adjust the movement trajectory of the tub 102, so that when the amplitude of the tub 102 is large, the adjusting member 106 can apply a force to the tub 102 that deviates from the direction of the impact switch 108. With this setting, the amplitude of the tub 102 in the longitudinal direction in the direction of the adjusting member 106 is reduced accordingly, while the amplitude of the tub 102 in the direction of the impact switch 108 is increased accordingly. This can trigger the impact switch 108 in time, thereby effectively prompting the user that the clothes in the tub 102 are not placed evenly, so that the user can adjust them in time. By fitting the first end of the adjusting member 106 onto the connecting portion 104 connected to the barrel 102, and setting the first end of the adjusting member 106 to be able to move in any direction relative to the connecting portion 104, that is, by setting the structural dimension of the first end of the adjusting member 106 to be larger than the outer diameter of the connecting portion 104, the first end of the adjusting member 106 will not constrain the connecting portion 104 when the amplitude of the barrel 102 is small, thereby preventing the connecting portion 104 from colliding with the adjusting member 106 and avoiding the generation of abnormal noise. When the amplitude of the barrel 102 is large, the first end of the adjusting member 106 will apply a force to the connecting part 104 that deviates from the direction of the barrel-bumping switch 108. Since the adjusting member 106 applies a constraint force to the connecting part 104 that deviates from the direction of the barrel-bumping switch 108, the movement trajectory of the barrel 102 is closer to the barrel-bumping switch 108, thereby increasing the probability of the barrel-bumping switch 108 being triggered, improving the detection accuracy of the barrel-bumping switch 108 for the vibration of the barrel 102, and reducing the possibility of the barrel 102 impacting the housing 100 and the clothing processing device causing displacement and deflection.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the barrel 102 is suspended inside the shell 100 by four rods. The stiffness and damping of the rods are consistent. The motion of the barrel 102 in the x-direction is simplified to a single-degree-of-freedom forced vibration, and its vibration equation is:

[0044]

[0045] Where F0 is the resultant force of the external forces acting on the barrel, x is the displacement of the system's center of mass, and the time response of the single-degree-of-freedom system under forced vibration is:

[0046]

[0047] Where k is the stiffness in the x-direction, λ is the frequency ratio, and ζ is the damping ratio. From the displacement response in the x-direction, it can be seen that under the same rotational speed, the centrifugal force generated by the eccentric mass is equal. Increasing the stiffness in this direction can reduce the amplitude in that direction, thereby changing the motion trajectory of the barrel 102, that is, as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the trajectory of the barrel 102 is as follows: Figure 6 The circle shown becomes like Figure 7 The ellipse shown is such that the major axis of the ellipse's trajectory points towards the location of the barrel-collision switch 108, thereby improving the reliability of the switch's sensing. When the barrel 102 touches the switch, the switch can stop the barrel 102 from rotating in time, thus reducing the risk of the barrel 102 colliding with the housing 100.

[0048] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 7 The garment processing device includes a housing 100, which mainly consists of a base and side plates surrounding the base, thus forming a certain accommodating space. A tub 102 is disposed within this accommodating space, and the tub 102 can be used to hold garments for washing and dehydration. The tub 102 can rotate relative to the housing 100.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, the barrel 102 is placed vertically within the housing 100. That is, as... Figure 1 As shown, the axis of the tub 102 is set vertically, and the tub 102 can rotate around this axis. When the clothes inside the tub 102 are not placed evenly, it will cause the tub 102 to move around unevenly during rotation. Figure 6 A certain amplitude is generated in the horizontal direction shown. Figure 6 The horizontal direction shown represents the left and right sides of the housing 100. When the barrel 102 vibrates horizontally, it will collide with the side plates on the left and right sides of the housing 100. To prevent this collision, a collision switch 108 is provided at the corner of the housing 100. The reason why the collision switch 108 is located at the corner of the housing 100 instead of at the side plate is because the distance between the barrel 102 and the side plates on the left and right sides of the housing 100 is relatively large. This makes it impossible for the barrel 102 to touch the collision switch 108 when it vibrates, reducing the detection accuracy of the collision switch 108.

[0050] To address this issue, in this embodiment of the invention, an adjusting member 106 is connected between the barrel body 102 and the housing 100. To connect the adjusting member 106 to the barrel body 102, a connecting portion 104 is provided at the bottom of the barrel body 102. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 104 can be integrally formed on the bottom of the barrel body 102, or it can be detachably connected to the barrel body 102 using bolts, snap-fit ​​connections, or other methods.

[0051] In this configuration, the first end of the adjusting member 106 is connected to the connecting portion 104, and the second end of the adjusting member 106 is connected to the housing 100. When the first end of the adjusting member 106 is in contact with the connecting portion 104, the adjusting member 106 is adapted to apply force to the barrel 102 in a direction deviating from the barrel-bumping switch 108. That is, the adjusting member 106 applies a rigid force to the barrel along the length of the adjusting member 106, so that when the barrel vibrates significantly during operation, the movement trajectory of the barrel can move towards the direction of the barrel-bumping switch.

[0052] By connecting the adjusting member 106 between the connecting part 104 and the housing 100, when the barrel 102 vibrates, the amplitude of the barrel 102 in the direction away from the barrel-bumping switch 108 can be reduced, and correspondingly, the amplitude of the barrel 102 in the direction toward the barrel-bumping switch 108 can be increased. This ensures that the barrel 102 can move toward the barrel-bumping switch 108 when the amplitude is large, thereby reducing the amplitude of the barrel 102. Figure 6 The circular trajectory shown switches to, as Figure 7 The elliptical trajectory shown indicates that when the drum 102 experiences significant vibration, the impact switch 108 can be triggered, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the impact switch 108 and enabling it to promptly generate prompts to remind the user to adjust the placement of the clothes inside the drum 102. This prevents the drum 102 from impacting the side plate in the housing 100 during vibration, reducing the possibility of overall displacement of the clothing handling device.

[0053] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the invention, when the amplitude of the barrel 102 is small, the adjusting member 106 does not apply force to the connecting part 104. In other words, only when the amplitude of the barrel 102 is large can the adjusting member 106 apply a force to the connecting part 104 that deviates from the direction of the barrel-bumping switch 108, thereby achieving adjustment of the movement trajectory of the barrel 102. This design avoids collisions between the adjusting member 106 and the connecting part 104 when the amplitude of the barrel 102 is small, thus eliminating abnormal noises caused by such collisions. It is understood that when the amplitude of the barrel 102 is small, the first end of the adjusting member 106 can move freely relative to the connecting part 104. This free movement means that the first end of the adjusting member 106 can move relative to the connecting part 104 in any direction. When the amplitude of the barrel 102 is large, the amplitude of the connecting part 104 increases accordingly and interacts with the adjusting member 106, thereby applying a certain force to the connecting part 104 through the adjusting member 106.

[0054] Of course, the number of adjustment components 106 is not specifically limited, as long as they provide a force to the barrel 102 that deviates from the direction of the barrel switch 108 when the amplitude of the barrel 102 is large.

[0055] It should be noted that, in the top view, the line along which the force exerted by the adjusting component 106 on the barrel 102 is located is approximately diagonally opposite to the line along which the barrel-banging switch 108 is located. That is, as... Figure 7 As shown, the barrel-banging switch 108 is located at the upper left corner of the housing 100. The diagonal line where the barrel-banging switch 108 is located is the diagonal line from the upper left corner to the lower right corner of the housing 100. Correspondingly, the straight line of the force exerted by the adjusting member 106 on the barrel 102 is the diagonal line from the upper right corner to the lower left corner of the housing.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, the adjustment member 106 can be configured in at least two different forms:

[0057] Formation Method 1:

[0058] In this configuration, the adjusting member 106 includes an elastic member 118, which is in a natural state when the vibration amplitude of the barrel 102 is less than a preset amplitude.

[0059] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this configuration, the adjusting member 106 includes an elastic member 118. By using the elastic member 118 as the adjusting member 106, not only can the barrel 102 be provided with a vibration damping effect, but the barrel 102 can also be provided with a pulling force that deviates from the direction of the barrel-bumping switch 108 when the elastic member 118 is stretched.

[0060] It should be noted that when the vibration amplitude of the tub 102 is relatively small, the elastic element 118 is in its natural state. That is, when the vibration amplitude of the tub 102 is relatively small, the elastic element 118 does not provide a pulling force to the tub 102 that deviates from the direction of the impact switch 108. This prevents the connecting part 104 on the tub 102 from colliding with the first end of the elastic element 118 and causing abnormal noise when the vibration amplitude of the tub 102 is relatively small. When the vibration amplitude of the tub 102 is relatively large, the elastic element 118 is stretched. At this time, the elastic element 118 can provide a pulling force to the tub 102 that deviates from the direction of the impact switch 108. This can adjust the movement trajectory of the tub 102 from a circle to an ellipse with the direction towards the impact switch 108 as the major axis, thereby effectively avoiding the collision between the tub 102 and the side plate of the housing 100 and reducing the possibility of displacement of the clothing handling device. In this configuration, the elastic element 118 can be a spring, tension spring, compression spring, etc.

[0061] Formation Method Two:

[0062] For some implementation schemes, see Figure 4The adjusting component 106 includes a sleeve 120 and a plunger 122. One end of the sleeve 120 is fitted onto the connecting part 104. The first end of the plunger 122 is slidably inserted into the sleeve 120. The second end of the plunger 122 is connected to the housing 100. A spring is provided between the sleeve 120 and the plunger 122. When the vibration amplitude of the barrel 102 is less than the preset amplitude, the spring is in a natural state.

[0063] The first end of the sleeve 120 can be connected to the connecting part 104 via a fitting part, a retaining ring, or other components. Similarly, the first end of the sleeve 120 can move relative to the connecting part 104 so that when the vibration amplitude of the connecting part 104 is relatively small, the sleeve 120 will not apply a tensile force to the connecting part 104. Only when the sleeve 120 comes into contact with the connecting part 104, that is, when the vibration amplitude of the barrel 102 is relatively large and the barrel 102 may impact the side plate of the shell 100, can the first end of the sleeve 120 apply a certain tensile force to the connecting part 104.

[0064] A plunger 122 is movably disposed inside the sleeve 120, and the plunger 122 can move relative to the axial direction of the sleeve 120. A spring is connected between the sleeve 120 and the plunger 122, and the spring is in a natural state when the vibration amplitude of the connecting part 104 is relatively small.

[0065] By setting the adjusting component 106 in the form of a sleeve 120 and a plunger 122, it is not only possible to adjust the movement trajectory of the barrel 102 when it vibrates, but also to provide a certain strength support for the barrel 102.

[0066] In this configuration, a tension spring or compression spring can also be installed between the sleeve 120 and the plunger 122. It should be noted that the tension spring, compression spring, and other components need to have a certain amount of stroke in the initial state. This arrangement ensures that when the amplitude of the barrel 102 is small, the adjusting component 106 will not exert force on the barrel 102, thus avoiding the generation of abnormal noise.

[0067] In other embodiments, the adjustment element 106 may also be implemented in other forms, such as an elastic rod, a damper, etc.

[0068] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in order to fix the adjusting member 106, a first sleeve portion 110 is provided at the first end of the adjusting member 106, and the inner diameter of the first sleeve portion 110 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting portion 104.

[0069] It is understandable that the connection between the adjusting member 106 and the connecting part 104 can be achieved by providing a first fitting part 110 at the first end of the adjusting member 106 and fitting the first fitting part 110 onto the connecting part 104. Simultaneously, by setting the inner diameter of the first fitting part 110 to be larger than the outer diameter of the connecting part 104, it can be ensured that the barrel 102 will not collide with the first fitting part 110 when the amplitude of its vibration is small. Only when the amplitude of the barrel 102 is large will it come into contact with the first fitting part 110, thereby allowing the adjusting member 106 to apply a certain force to the connecting part 104.

[0070] That is, the swaying amplitude is large when the barrel 102 accelerates through the first resonance peak during the dehydration stage, while the swaying amplitude is small during the high-speed stable dehydration stage. This ensures that when the low-speed resonance occurs, the first set part 110 on the adjusting member 106 contacts the connecting part 104, and the adjusting member 106 provides rigidity to the connecting part 104. At high speed, because the swaying amplitude of the barrel 102 is small, the connecting part 104 can sway freely within the first set part 110 without contacting the first set part 110. At this time, the adjusting member 106 does not play a role, thus effectively preventing the connecting part 104 from interfering with the first set part 110 and producing abnormal noise when the barrel 102 rotates at high speed.

[0071] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the difference between the inner diameter of the first sleeve portion 110 and the outer diameter of the connecting portion 104 ranges from 15 mm to 30 mm. In this embodiment of the present invention, by controlling the difference between the inner diameter of the first sleeve portion 110 and the outer diameter of the connecting portion 104 within 15 mm to 30 mm, it is possible to ensure that the connecting portion 104 and the first sleeve portion 110 interact when the tub body 102 generates a relatively large amplitude, thereby avoiding the tub body 102 from colliding with the side plate of the housing 100 due to excessive amplitude, and also effectively preventing the overall displacement of the clothing processing device caused by large vibration of the tub body 102.

[0072] Of course, in other embodiments, the difference between the inner diameter of the first sleeve portion 110 and the outer diameter of the connecting portion 104 can also be other values. At the same time, the adjusting member 106 can also be connected to the connecting portion 104 in other ways. In addition, the first sleeve portion 110 can be configured in other shapes besides being circular, such as a rectangular ring, an elliptical ring, etc.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, a lower side plate 112 is provided on one side of the housing 100, the second end of the adjusting member 106 is connected to the lower side plate 112, and the adjusting member 106 is inclined relative to the plane of the lower side plate 112.

[0074] As mentioned earlier, since the function of the adjusting member 106 is to apply a force to the barrel body 102 that deviates from the direction of the impact switch 108, that is, the function of the adjusting member 106 is to apply a force to the barrel body 102 toward the corner of the housing 100 where the impact switch 108 is not located, the adjusting member 106 is inclined relative to the plane of the lower side plate 112. It can be understood that the line connecting the first and second ends of the adjusting member 106 deviates from the position of the impact switch 108. This ensures that the adjusting member 106 can apply a force to the barrel body 102 that deviates from the impact switch 108. The direction of deviation from the impact switch 108 mentioned here can be a direction diagonally opposite to the impact switch 108. That is, as... Figure 7 As shown, the barrel-banging switch 108 is located at the upper left corner of the housing 100.
