Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of installation and fixing technology, specifically relating to a fixing component for stacking equipment, and a stacked equipment assembly fixed by the fixing component. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people's demand for home appliances is increasing, but this also leads to the problem of where to put them. To save space, stacking some appliances can save a lot of floor space. For example, stacking washing machines and dryers, or washing machines and shoe washing machines; commercial laundries may also use stacked two-tiered washing machines or two-tiered dryers.

[0003] Currently, when two devices are stacked, a stacking bracket is needed to prevent the upper device from slipping due to vibrations during startup, which could lead to tilting or falling. The stacking bracket is a rectangular frame that is fixed to the top wall of the lower device. The upper device is then placed on the bracket, and further securing it to the bracket to prevent slippage. Existing stacking brackets require a size match to the top wall of the lower device, resulting in limited versatility. They are also inconvenient to secure to the upper device, have numerous and complex components, leading to high manufacturing costs, inconvenient installation, and low installation efficiency. Furthermore, the weight and size of the stacking brackets make manufacturing and transportation difficult, and disassembly is also inconvenient.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this invention proposes a fixing component for equipment stacking. By using a separate design, it is advantageous to fix the connectors and brackets to the stacked equipment separately before assembling and fixing them, which simplifies the fixing operation and improves work efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: A fixing component for stacking equipment includes: The support frame is fixed to the lower-level equipment. The connector is a separate component that is fixed to the upper-level equipment and can be assembled with the bracket; The bracket has a bracket body and a locking structure disposed on the bracket body for locking the connector; The locking structure has a first locking member and a second locking member that are movable relative to each other, and a locking port is formed between the first locking member and the second locking member for the connector to extend into and be locked.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the connector has a connecting body and a connecting seat located at the lower end of the connecting body, the connecting seat matching the locking port, and the cross-sectional dimension of the connecting seat being larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the connecting body.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the connector has an upper end face that extends radially along the connector body.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting seat is a frustum structure.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, a first groove is provided on the first locking member for accommodating a portion of the connecting seat, and the first groove is configured to communicate with the locking port.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, a second groove for receiving a portion of the connecting seat is provided on the second locking member. The second groove is connected to the locking port, and the second groove and the first groove are disposed opposite to each other.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, a slide is provided on the bracket body, and the first locking member and / or the second locking member are slidably mounted on the slide.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the bracket body is provided with a limiting part located at the end of the slide rail for limiting the sliding of the first locking member and / or the second locking member into position.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the locking structure further includes a third locking member for bringing the first locking member and the second locking member close to each other and locking them together.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the first locking member has a light hole for the third locking member to pass through, and the second locking member has a threaded hole that matches and is fastened to the third locking member.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the third locking element is a bolt structure.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the locking structure further includes an elastic member sleeved on the third locking member and located between the first locking member and the second locking member.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting body is a cylindrical shape with external threads.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the bracket is secured to the top of the lower device by fasteners.

[0020] Based on the aforementioned fixing component for equipment stacking, the present invention also provides a stacking equipment assembly having the fixing component. By setting the components separately, it is beneficial to fix the connectors and brackets to the stacking equipment separately before assembling and fixing them, which facilitates the fixing operation and improves work efficiency.

[0021] A stacked device assembly includes: an upper layer device and a lower layer device stacked together, and the aforementioned fixing components for fixing the upper layer device and the lower layer device.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the upper device has a housing and a plurality of detachable legs located at the lower part of the housing. The housing has mounting holes for mounting the legs, and the connector is fixed in the mounting holes.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, after the fixing component is fixed, the lower end face of the connector is flush with the lower end face of the bracket.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this invention are as follows: By separating the bracket and the connector, the connector and the bracket can be fixed to the upper and lower equipment respectively. Then, the upper equipment is placed on the lower equipment, and finally the bracket and connector are assembled and fixed. This simplifies the fixing operation and improves work efficiency. Before the upper equipment is stacked, the first and second locking members are moved away from each other to adjust the width of the locking opening. After the upper equipment is stacked, the connector extends into the locking opening. Then, through the relative movement of the first and second locking members, the width of the locking opening narrows, locking the lower end of the connector within the locking opening, thus achieving the assembly and fixing between the connector and the bracket.

[0033] Example 1 See Figures 1-8 This is an embodiment of a fixing component for equipment stacking proposed in this invention. A fixing component 100 for equipment stacking includes: a bracket 10 and a connector 20. The bracket 10 is fixed to the lower equipment 200, and the connector 20 is fixed to the upper equipment 300. The connector 20 and the bracket 10 are separately assembled; that is, the connector 20 and the bracket 10 can be assembled together or separated from each other.

[0034] The bracket 10 has a bracket body 11 and a locking structure 12 disposed on the bracket body 10. The locking structure 12 is used to lock the connector 20. The locking structure 12 has a first locking member 121 and a second locking member 122 that are movable relative to each other. A locking port 123 is formed between the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 for the connector 20 to extend into, and the connector 20 can be locked by the locking port 123.

[0035] By separating the bracket 11 and the connector 20, the connector 20 and the bracket 11 can be fixed to the upper device 300 and the lower device 200 respectively. Then, the upper device 300 is placed on the lower device 200, and finally, the bracket 11 and the connector 20 are assembled and fixed. This simplifies the fixing operation and improves work efficiency. Before the upper devices 300 are stacked, the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 are moved away from each other to adjust the width of the locking opening 123. When the upper devices 300 are stacked, the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 are in a far-away state, facilitating the connector 20 to extend into the locking opening 123. After the upper devices 300 are stacked, the connector 20 extends into the locking opening 123. Then, through the relative movement of the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122, the width of the locking opening 123 narrows, locking the lower end of the connector 20 within the locking opening 123, thus achieving the assembly and fixing between the connector 20 and the bracket 10.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the connector 20 has a connecting body 21 and a connecting seat 22 located at the lower end of the connecting body 21. The connecting seat 22 matches the locking port 123 to achieve locking. The cross-sectional dimension of the connecting seat 22 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the connecting body 21. The connector 20 is arranged vertically, and its cross-section is horizontal. This prevents the connecting seat 22 from being blocked within the locking port 123, thus limiting its degree of freedom of movement.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the connector 22 has a horizontally arranged upper end surface 221 that extends radially along the connector body 21. The locking structure 12 can limit the upward movement of the connector 20 through the horizontally arranged upper end surface 221.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, a first groove 1211 for accommodating a portion of the connecting seat 22 is provided on the first locking member 121, and the first groove 1211 is connected to the locking opening 123. After the connecting seat 22 extends into the locking opening 123, when the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 approach each other, causing the width of the locking opening 123 to narrow, the portion of the connecting seat 22 near the first groove 1211 enters the first groove 1211.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, a second groove 1221 for accommodating a portion of the connecting seat 22 is provided on the second locking member 122, and the second groove 1221 is connected to the locking opening 123. The second groove 1221 and the first groove 1211 are disposed opposite to each other. After the connecting seat 22 extends into the locking opening 123, when the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 move closer to each other, causing the width of the locking opening 123 to narrow, the portion of the connecting seat 22 near the first groove 1211 enters the first groove 1211, and the portion of the connecting seat 22 near the second groove 1221 enters the first groove 1211.

[0040] A first top surface, horizontally aligned with the upper end face 221, is provided within the first groove 1211; a second top surface, horizontally aligned with the upper end face 221, is provided within the second groove 1221. When the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 cannot move closer to each other, they are fixed together. The upper end face 221 of the connecting seat 22 mates with the first and second top surfaces, thus limiting the upward movement of the connecting seat 22. Simultaneously, the first groove 1211 and the second groove 1221 also limit the planar movement of the connecting seat 22 within the locking opening 123.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, a slide rail 111 is provided on the bracket body 11, and the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 111. The width of the locking opening 123 between the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122 is adjustable, so that the connecting seat 22 can be inserted into the locking opening 123 from above and can be locked after the width of the locking opening 123 narrows.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 may be slidably mounted on the slide rail 111.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, a limiting part 112 located at the end of the slide is provided on the bracket body 11. The limiting part 112 is used to limit the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 to slide into place; thus preventing the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122 from disengaging from the slide 111.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the locking structure 12 further includes a third locking member 124 for bringing the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 closer together. The third locking member 124 fixes the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122, thereby locking the connector 20. Thus, the third locking member 124 can be operated from the side to fix the connector 20 to the bracket 10.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, a light hole is provided on the first locking member 121 for the third locking member 124 to pass through, and a threaded hole is provided on the second locking member 122 to match and fasten the third locking member 124. When the third locking member 124 is rotated so that it engages with the threaded hole to achieve fastening and allows relative movement, the third locking member 124 and the second locking member 122 move closer to each other, and the third locking member 124 drives the first locking member 121 to move relative to the third locking member 124. The third locking member 124 is a bolt structure.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the locking structure 12 further includes an elastic element 125 sleeved on the third locking member 124, the elastic element 125 being located between the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122. When the third locking member 124 is disassembled and rotated from the threaded hole, the third locking member 124 moves away from the second locking member 122, and the third locking member 124 cannot move with the first locking member 121; by providing the elastic element 125, when the third locking member 124 moves away from the second locking member 122, it can push the first locking member 121 to move as well, thereby increasing the width of the locking opening 123.

[0047] After the fixing component 100 is fixed, it is positioned between the upper device 300 and the lower device 200. When it is necessary to disassemble the upper device 300, the locking structure 12 must first be released from the locking of the connecting member 20; the third locking member 124 needs to be rotated in the disassembly direction, and the elastic member 125 can move the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 away from each other. By setting the elastic member 25, it is not necessary to manually push the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 away from each other, mainly because there is no room for manual operation when the assembly is fixed.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting body 21 is a cylindrical shape with external threads, which can be fastened to the upper device 300 by threads. The bracket 10 is fixed to the top of the lower device 200 by fasteners. The connecting seat 22 has a square pyramidal structure.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting seat 22 can be configured as a frustum structure, so that the connecting member 20 can be adjusted in the vertical direction according to the distance between the upper device 300 and the lower device 200, and can be finely adjusted to ensure that the connecting seat 22 is locked in the locking port 123, and to ensure that the connecting seat 22 fits tightly with the first groove 1211 and the second groove 1221.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the assembly method of the fixing component 100 includes the following steps: S10. Preparation steps; Fix the bracket 10 to the top of the lower device 200 and fix the connector 20 to the bottom of the upper device 300.

[0051] S20. Installation steps; Adjust the locking structure 12 on the bracket 10 so that the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 are in a far apart state, so that the connector 20 can extend into the locking port 123; that is, the locking port 123 is in a larger state, at which time the width of the locking port 123 is greater than the width of the connector seat of the connector 20, so that the lower end of the connector 20 can extend into the locking port 123.

[0052] Specifically, when the third locking member 124 is disassembled and moved, the elastic member 125 pushes the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 away from each other.

[0053] The upper device 300 is stacked on top of the lower device 200, and the connector 20 extends into the locking port 123.

[0054] S30 locking procedure; Adjust the locking structure 12 on the bracket 10 so that the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 move closer to each other, making the width of the locking opening 123 smaller until they can no longer move closer together, and then fix the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122. The distance between the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 is the width of the locking opening 123.

[0055] Specifically, by rotating and tightening the third locking member 124, the connector 20 is locked when the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 can no longer approach each other. At this time, the third locking member 124 also fixes the first locking member 121 and the second locking member.

[0056] Example 2 See Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a stacked device assembly, including: an upper device 300 and a lower device 200 stacked together, and a fixing component 100 for fixing the upper device 300 and the lower device 200. In this embodiment, the upper device 300 is a washing machine, and the lower device 200 is a shoe washing machine.

[0057] The fixing component 100 includes a bracket 10 and a connector 20. The bracket 10 is fixed to the lower device 200, and the connector 20 is fixed to the upper device 300. The connector 20 and the bracket 10 are separately assembled; that is, the connector 20 and the bracket 10 can be assembled together or separated from each other.

[0058] The bracket 10 has a bracket body 11 and a locking structure 12 disposed on the bracket body 10. The locking structure 12 is used to lock the connector 20. The locking structure 12 has a first locking member 121 and a second locking member 122 that are movable relative to each other. A locking port 123 is formed between the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 for the connector 20 to extend into, and the connector 20 can be locked by the locking port 123.

[0059] By separating the bracket 11 and the connector 20, the connector 20 and the bracket 11 can be fixed to the upper device 300 and the lower device 200 respectively. Then, the upper device 300 is placed on the lower device 200, and finally, the bracket 11 and the connector 20 are assembled and fixed. This simplifies the fixing operation and improves work efficiency. Before the upper device 300 is stacked, the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 are moved away from each other to adjust the width of the locking opening 123. After the upper device 300 is stacked, the connector 20 extends into the locking opening 123. Then, through the relative movement of the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122, the width of the locking opening 123 narrows, locking the lower end of the connector 20 within the locking opening 123, thus achieving the assembly and fixing between the connector 20 and the bracket 10.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the upper device 300 has a housing and multiple detachable legs located at the bottom of the housing. The housing has mounting holes for mounting the legs, and the connector 20 is fixed within these mounting holes. In other words, the connector 20 replaces the legs of the upper device 300, thus serving to support the upper device 300.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, after the fixing component 100 is fixed, the lower end face of the connector 20 is flush with the lower end face of the bracket 10, so that the top surface of the lower device 200 supports the connector 20, that is, the connector 20 directly contacts the top surface of the lower device 200, and the locking structure 12 locks the connector 20.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the connector 20 has a connecting body 21 and a connecting seat 22 located at the lower end of the connecting body 21. The connecting seat 22 matches the locking port 123 to achieve locking. The cross-sectional dimension of the connecting seat 22 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the connecting body 21. The connector 20 is arranged vertically, and its cross-section is horizontal. This prevents the connecting seat 22 from being blocked within the locking port 123, thus limiting its degree of freedom of movement.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, the connector 22 has a horizontally arranged upper end surface 221 that extends radially along the connector body 21. The locking structure 12 can limit the upward movement of the connector 20 through the horizontally arranged upper end surface 221.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, a first groove 1211 for accommodating a portion of the connecting seat 22 is provided on the first locking member 121, and the first groove 1211 is connected to the locking opening 123. After the connecting seat 22 extends into the locking opening 123, when the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 approach each other, causing the width of the locking opening 123 to narrow, the portion of the connecting seat 22 near the first groove 1211 enters the first groove 1211.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, a second groove 1221 for accommodating a portion of the connecting seat 22 is provided on the second locking member 122, and the second groove 1221 is connected to the locking opening 123. The second groove 1221 and the first groove 1211 are disposed opposite to each other. After the connecting seat 22 extends into the locking opening 123, when the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 move closer to each other, causing the width of the locking opening 123 to narrow, the portion of the connecting seat 22 near the first groove 1211 enters the first groove 1211, and the portion of the connecting seat 22 near the second groove 1221 enters the first groove 1211.

[0066] A first top surface, horizontally aligned with the upper end face 221, is provided within the first groove 1211; a second top surface, horizontally aligned with the upper end face 221, is provided within the second groove 1221. When the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 cannot move closer to each other, they are fixed together. The upper end face 221 of the connecting seat 22 mates with the first and second top surfaces, thus limiting the upward movement of the connecting seat 22. Simultaneously, the first groove 1211 and the second groove 1221 also limit the planar movement of the connecting seat 22 within the locking opening 123.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, a slide rail 111 is provided on the bracket body 11, and the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 111. The width of the locking opening 123 between the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122 is adjustable, so that the connecting seat 22 can be inserted into the locking opening 123 from above and can be locked after the width of the locking opening 123 narrows.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 may be slidably mounted on the slide rail 111.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, a limiting part 112 located at the end of the slide is provided on the bracket body 11. The limiting part 112 is used to limit the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 to slide into place; thus preventing the first locking member 121 or the second locking member 122 from disengaging from the slide 111.

[0070] In some embodiments of this application, the locking structure 12 further includes a third locking member 124 for bringing the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 closer together. The third locking member 124 fixes the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122, thereby locking the connector 20.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, a light hole is provided on the first locking member 121 for the third locking member 124 to pass through, and a threaded hole is provided on the second locking member 122 to match and fasten the third locking member 124. When the third locking member 124 is rotated so that it engages with the threaded hole to achieve fastening and allows relative movement, the third locking member 124 and the second locking member 122 move closer to each other, and the third locking member 124 drives the first locking member 121 to move relative to the third locking member 124. The third locking member 124 is a bolt structure.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the locking structure 12 further includes an elastic element 125 sleeved on the third locking member 124, the elastic element 125 being located between the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122. When the third locking member 124 is disassembled and rotated from the threaded hole, the third locking member 124 moves away from the second locking member 122, and the third locking member 124 cannot move with the first locking member 121; by providing the elastic element 125, when the third locking member 124 moves away from the second locking member 122, it can push the first locking member 121 to move as well, thereby increasing the width of the locking opening 123.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting body 21 is a cylindrical shape with external threads, which can be fastened to the upper device 300 by threads. The bracket 10 is fixed to the top of the lower device 200 by fasteners. The connecting seat 22 has a square pyramidal structure.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, an assembly method for a stacked device assembly includes the following steps: S10. Preparation steps; Fix the bracket 10 to the top of the lower device 200 and fix the connector 20 to the bottom of the upper device 300.

Installation steps; Adjust the locking structure 12 on the bracket 10 so that the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 are in a far apart state, so that the connector 20 can extend into the locking port 123; that is, the locking port 123 is in a larger state, at which time the width of the locking port 123 is greater than the width of the connector seat of the connector 20, so that the lower end of the connector 20 can extend into the locking port 123.

[0076] Specifically, when the third locking member 124 is disassembled and moved, the elastic member 125 pushes the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 away from each other.

[0077] The upper device 300 is stacked on top of the lower device 200, and the connector 20 extends into the locking port 123.

[0078] S30 locking procedure; Adjust the locking structure 12 on the bracket 10 so that the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 move closer to each other, making the width of the locking opening 123 smaller until they can no longer move closer together, and then fix the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122. The distance between the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 is the width of the locking opening 123.

[0079] Specifically, by rotating and tightening the third locking member 124, the connector 20 is locked when the first locking member 121 and the second locking member 122 can no longer approach each other. At this time, the third locking member 124 also fixes the first locking member 121 and the second locking member.
