Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of washing machine repair technology, specifically to a correction and alignment device for flange connection on a spin-dry tub. Background Technology

[0002] A washing machine is a cleaning appliance that uses electrical energy to generate mechanical action to wash clothes. It is divided into two categories according to washing capacity: household and commercial. It mainly consists of a cabinet, transmission and control system. Some washing machines are also equipped with a heating device. In addition to the most basic washing function, most washing machines also have a spin-drying function, which uses high-speed rotation to generate centrifugal force to separate water from the clothes.

[0003] When installing the spin-dry tub on a washing machine, it is usually connected by two flanges. This places a requirement on the coaxiality of the spin-dry tub during the connection process. If it operates with misalignment, the spin-dry tub will rotate eccentrically during use, increasing vibration and noise during the spin-drying process of the entire washing machine. This not only easily causes operational malfunctions but also reduces the lifespan of the washing machine. Currently, when misalignment is found during the installation of the spin-dry tub, manual alignment is difficult to operate and has low accuracy. A correction bracket is usually used. First, the spin-dry tub is removed from the first flange, and the correction bracket is fixed to the second flange connecting the outer shell. Then, the first flange is pushed by rotating the threaded rod to control the coaxiality between the two flanges. After correction, the spin-dry tub is installed. However, during use, friction between the two flanges will cause wear, resulting in loss of flatness of the flange connection surface. This affects the stability of the flange assembly connection, causing the spin-dry tub to still vibrate and make noise during use even after correction and coaxiality, making it inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a correction and alignment device for flange connection on a dehydration drum, which improves the actual user experience after flange correction, ensures the flatness of the flange connection surface, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

The inner wall of the sleeve block is slidably connected to the arm of the clamping rod. A fixed shaft is slidably connected to the arm of the displacement groove, and the end of the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the arm of the clamping rod.

[0014] Optionally, the mating components include:

[0016] A push plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second rack, and the top surface of the push plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mating rod. A prestressed rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mating rod, and the end of the prestressed rod is slidably connected to the arm of the clamping rod. The end of the prestressed rod is connected to the inner wall of the mating rod by a spring.

[0017] Optionally, it also includes a drive component that facilitates the synchronous rotation of the two discs, and a lifting component that ensures a clean connection surface after the first flange and the second flange are straightened.

[0018] Optionally, the drive component includes:

[0019] A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main body. A dual-head motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate. A drive rod is fixedly connected to each of the two output ends of the dual-head motor. The ends of the two drive rods are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main body. The two drive rods are respectively connected to the shaft arms of the two main shafts through a pulley assembly.

[0020] Optionally, the lifting component includes:

[0021] A lifting rod is provided, the surface of which is rotatably connected to the ends of the two mating shafts respectively. A push rod is fixedly connected to the arm of the lifting rod. A piston cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the body. A piston plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder. The arm of the push rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder. The end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the piston plate. An air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder respectively. A one-way valve is provided on the wall of both the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe.

[0022] Optionally, two sensing blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the correction plate, and the two sets of auxiliary components and the two mating components are arranged symmetrically on the left and right.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] First, considering that traditional methods can easily lead to damage between flange one and flange two due to friction, this invention uses the cooperation of structures such as the main shaft, sector plate and displacement frame to enable the two clamping rods to move synchronously in an L-shaped trajectory. In this way, flange one can be clamped first, and then the height of flange one can be automatically raised. This allows flange one to be coaxially corrected while it is raised. Compared with the traditional method, this avoids the friction between flange one and flange two from damaging the contact surface of the two flanges and affecting the actual user experience after coaxiality correction. After correction, the two clamping rods can move in opposite directions in an L-shaped trajectory.

[0025] Second, through the cooperation of the rack, the sleeve and the shaft, the two clamping rods move upward at a faster relative speed during the upward movement of the two clamping rods. This provides an upward prestress to the two clamping rods, thereby maintaining their stability and preventing them from being damaged by the gravity of the flange. This further maintains the stability of the flange and ensures a better user experience after the coaxiality is corrected.

[0026] At the same time, when the clamping rod is not in contact with the flange, the prestress is automatically released, so that the clamping rod will not be subjected to a large upward thrust when it is not in use, which would also cause structural damage to the clamping rod.

[0027] Third, considering that particulate matter from the outside may fall onto the top surface of flange two during the operation, this invention uses the cooperation of lifting rod, push rod and mating shaft to clean the connecting surface of flange one and flange two by blowing air during the process of lowering flange one after coaxial correction, so as to keep the connecting surface of flange one and flange two clean and further avoid excessive noise and vibration when the dehydration tank is used later.

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 10 The present invention provides a technical solution: a correction device for flange docking on a dehydration bucket, including flange 1 and flange 2, and a body 3. A correction plate 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the body 3, and a snap-fit ​​base 5 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the body 3. A correction component for driving the body 3 to move is provided on the snap-fit ​​base 5.

[0042] More specifically, in this embodiment: when it is found that flange 1 on the spin-dry tub is misaligned with flange 2 on the washing machine, in order to adjust the coaxiality of flange 1 and flange 2, the spin-dry tub on flange 1 is first removed, and the snap-fit ​​base 5 is fixedly installed on flange 2 on the washing machine. At this time, the correction component can be activated to make the body 3 move, thereby making the correction plate 4 move. First, it presses against flange 1 which is close to the correction plate 4. Then, as the body 3 continues to move, it pushes flange 1 to move until flange 1 and flange 2 are coaxial, and the correction is completed.

[0043] It is worth noting that there are two clamping rods 6 inside the body 3, and openings for the displacement of the two clamping rods 6 are respectively opened on the surface of the body 3. A matching rod 7 is provided below the two clamping rods 6.

[0044] It also includes two auxiliary components, both of which are set inside the main body 3. By setting the two auxiliary components, the two clamping rods 6 first move relative to each other, and then move vertically upward synchronously.

[0045] More specifically, considering the friction between flange 1 and flange 2, if flange 1 is raised manually, the alignment accuracy will be affected, and this friction is difficult to ignore. Therefore, after the snap-fit ​​base 5 is fixedly installed on flange 2 on the washing machine, the straightening plate 4 is in contact with the side wall of flange 1. At this time, the two auxiliary components can be activated to operate, so that the two clamping rods 6 first move relative to each other and then move vertically upwards synchronously. During the relative movement of the two clamping rods 6, flange 1 can be clamped. During the vertical upward movement of the two clamping rods 6, the height of flange 1 can be automatically raised. At this time, during the movement of the body 3, flange 1 can be moved while its height is raised until the straightening plate 4 is in contact with the surfaces of flange 1 and flange 2, and the correction is completed. At this time, the two auxiliary components are activated in reverse, and flange 1 can be placed on flange 2.

[0046] It also includes two cooperating components, which are respectively connected to two auxiliary components. With the setting of the two cooperating components, during the upward movement of the two clamping rods 6, the two cooperating rods 7 move upward synchronously at a faster speed.

[0047] More specifically, by synchronously driving the two mating parts during the operation of the two auxiliary parts, the two mating rods 7 can move upward at a relatively faster speed during the upward movement of the two clamping rods 6. This provides upward prestress to the two clamping rods 6 when the flange-1 moves upward, thereby maintaining the stability of the clamping rods 6 and preventing them from being damaged under the gravity of the flange-1.

[0048] Example 2, based on the above examples:

[0049] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The following disclosure is made regarding the correction component in Embodiment 1: the correction component includes a correction plate 8, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the snap-fit ​​base 5. A threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the correction plate 8, and the arm of the threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the body 3.

[0050] More specifically, in this embodiment: with the snap-fit ​​base 5 fixed to the flange 2 on the washing machine, the main body 3 can be moved by rotating the threaded rod 9, thereby causing the straightening plate 4 to move.

[0051] Example 3, based on the above examples:

[0052] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The auxiliary components in Embodiment 1 are disclosed as follows: the auxiliary components include: a main shaft 10, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main body 3; a disk 11 is fixedly connected to the shaft arm of the main shaft 10; a displacement groove 12 is provided on the side wall of the disk 11, which is composed of a straight groove and an inclined groove; a fan-shaped plate 13 is fixedly connected to the shaft arm of the main shaft 10; a limiting groove 14 is provided on the inner wall of the main body 3; a limiting rod 15 is slidably connected to the groove arm of the limiting groove 14; a displacement frame 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod 15; and the inner wall of the displacement frame 16 is in contact with the side wall of the fan-shaped plate 13.

[0053] An auxiliary rod 17 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the displacement frame 16, and a sleeve block 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the auxiliary rod 17. The inner wall of the sleeve block 18 is slidably connected to the arm of the clamping rod 6. A fixed shaft 19 is slidably connected to the groove arm of the displacement groove 12, and the end of the fixed shaft 19 is fixedly connected to the arm of the clamping rod 6.

[0054] More specifically, in this embodiment: by rotating the main shaft 10, the disk 11 rotates about the main shaft 10. The rotation of the disk 11 causes the displacement groove 12 to move in a circular motion. At the same time, the rotation of the main shaft 10 causes the sector plate 13 to move in a circular motion about the main shaft 10. During the circular motion of the displacement groove 12, the fixed shaft 19 slides from the straight groove to the inclined groove on the displacement groove 12, so that the fixed shaft 19 moves towards the flange 1. This causes the clamping rod 6 to move towards the flange 1. During this process, the arc edge of the sector plate 13 slides along the inner wall of the displacement frame 16, so that the displacement frame 16 does not change its vertical height.

[0055] When the fixed shaft 19 slides from the inclined groove of the displacement groove 12 into the straight groove, the height of the displacement frame 16 will change as the sector plate 13 continues to rotate, causing the displacement frame 16 to move vertically upward. During this process, it is limited by the limiting groove 14 on the limiting rod 15. Thus, the upward movement of the displacement frame 16 can synchronously drive the auxiliary rod 17 to move vertically upward. The vertical upward movement of the auxiliary rod 17 can cause the sleeve block 18 to move upward. The upward movement of the sleeve block 18 can cause the clamping rod 6 to move vertically upward. During this process, the fixed shaft 19 slides along the groove wall of the straight groove of the displacement groove 12, thus causing the clamping rod 6 to perform L-shaped trajectory displacement.

[0056] Example 4, based on the above examples:

[0057] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The mating components in Embodiment 1 are disclosed as follows: the mating components include: a mating sleeve 20 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the displacement frame 16; a mating shaft 21 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mating sleeve 20; a gear 22 fixedly connected to the end of the mating shaft 21; a rack row 23 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the body 3; the teeth of the rack row 23 meshing with the teeth of the gear 22; a limit post 24 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the body 3; a rack row 25 slidably connected to the surface of the limit post 24; and the teeth of the rack row 25 meshing with the teeth of the gear 22.

[0058] A push plate 26 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rack and pinion 25. The top surface of the push plate 26 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mating rod 7. A prestressed rod 27 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mating rod 7. The end of the prestressed rod 27 is slidably connected to the arm of the clamping rod 6. The end of the prestressed rod 27 is connected to the inner wall of the mating rod 7 through a spring 28.

[0059] More specifically, in this embodiment: when the displacement frame 16 moves vertically upward, it synchronously drives the mating sleeve 20 to move vertically upward. The vertical movement of the mating sleeve 20 causes the mating shaft 21 to move vertically upward. The vertical movement of the mating shaft 21 causes the gear 22 to move vertically upward. At this time, it can engage with the rack row 23, so that the gear 22 rotates around the mating shaft 21 as an axis during the vertical movement. The rotation of the gear 22 during the upward movement causes the rack row 25 to move vertically upward. The rack row 25 moves faster than the displacement frame 16.

[0060] By moving the rack 25 upward, the push plate 26 can be moved upward simultaneously. By moving the push plate 26 upward, the mating rod 7 can be moved upward, thus compressing the spring 28. Through the cooperation of the spring 28 and the prestress rod 27, prestress is applied to the clamping rod 6 from below, thereby maintaining the stability of the clamping rod 6 during operation.

[0061] At the same time, when the clamping rod 6 is not in contact with the flange 1, the prestress is automatically released, so that the clamping rod 6 will not be subjected to a large upward thrust when it is not in use, which would also cause structural damage to the clamping rod 6.

[0062] Example 5, based on the above examples:

[0063] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9The components in Embodiment 1 are supplemented as follows: a drive component that facilitates the synchronous rotation of the two discs 11, and a lifting component that ensures a clean connection surface after the flange 1 and flange 2 are straightened.

[0064] More specifically, in this embodiment: by setting the driving component, the two discs 11 can be easily driven to rotate; by setting the lifting component, the correction effect between flange 1 and flange 2 can be further provided.

[0065] Example 6, based on the above examples:

[0066] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 7 The driving component in Embodiment 1 is disclosed as follows: the driving component includes a connecting plate 29, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the body 3. A dual-head motor 30 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 29. A driving rod 31 is fixedly connected to each of the two output ends of the dual-head motor 30. The ends of the two driving rods 31 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the body 3. The two driving rods 31 are respectively connected to the shaft arms of the two main shafts 10 through the pulley assembly 32.

[0067] More specifically, in this embodiment: by starting the dual-head motor 30, the drive rods 31 on both sides can be driven to rotate synchronously. Through the rotation of the two drive rods 31, the two main shafts 10 can be rotated synchronously under the action of the two pulley assemblies 32.

[0068] Example 7, based on the above examples:

[0069] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 The lifting component in Embodiment 1 is disclosed as follows: the lifting component includes a lifting rod 33, the surface of the lifting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the ends of two mating shafts 21 respectively, the arm of the lifting rod 33 is fixedly connected to a push rod 34, the inner wall of the body 3 is fixedly connected to a piston cylinder 35, the inner wall of the piston cylinder 35 is slidably connected to a piston plate 36, the arm of the push rod 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the piston cylinder 35, the end of the push rod 34 is fixedly connected to the surface of the piston plate 36, the inner wall of the piston cylinder 35 is fixedly connected to an air inlet pipe 37 and an air outlet pipe 38 respectively, and the pipe walls of the air inlet pipe 37 and the air outlet pipe 38 are both provided with one-way valves.

[0070] More specifically, in this embodiment: considering the increased relative distance between flange 1 and flange 2, dust and other particulate matter may fall onto the top surface of flange 2 during operator work. Therefore, as the two mating shafts 21 move vertically, the lifting rod 33 moves vertically in sync. During the movement of the lifting rod 33, the push rod 34 moves vertically in sync. The displacement of the push rod 34 pushes the piston plate 36 vertically. During this process, the push rod 34 slides along the inner wall of the piston cylinder 35. As the piston plate 36 moves upward, at this time... When the one-way valve on the air inlet pipe 37 is opened and the one-way valve on the air outlet pipe 38 is closed, outside air can be drawn in through the air inlet pipe 37. As the piston plate 36 moves down, the coaxiality adjustment is completed. During the process of lowering flange 1, the one-way valve on the air inlet pipe 37 is closed and the one-way valve on the air outlet pipe 38 is opened, allowing the gas in the piston cylinder 35 to be discharged through the air outlet pipe 38. This provides air-blowing cleaning to the connection surface between flange 1 and flange 2, ensuring the cleanliness of the connection surface between flange 1 and flange 2 after flange 2 is lowered, and further preventing excessive noise and vibration during the use of the dehydration tank.

[0071] Example 8, based on the above examples:

[0072] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 10 The components in Embodiment 1 are supplemented as follows: two sensing blocks 39 are fixedly connected to the surface of the correction plate 4, and the two sets of auxiliary components and two cooperating components are arranged symmetrically on the left and right.

[0073] More specifically, in this embodiment: by setting two sensing blocks 39, it is possible to ensure that flange 1 and flange 2 are coaxial only when the two sensing blocks 39 sense flange 1 and flange 2 respectively. By setting the two auxiliary components and the two mating components symmetrically, the stability of flange 1 during movement can be guaranteed.

[0074] Working principle: When using the correction device for the flange connection of the spin-drying drum, first remove the spin-drying drum from flange 1, and fix the snap-fit ​​base 5 on flange 2 of the washing machine. At this time, the correction plate 4 contacts the side wall of flange 1. Then, the double-head motor 30 can be started, so that the two clamping rods 6 first move relative to each other, and then move vertically upward in sync, which can clamp flange 1 and raise its height. Then, the threaded rod 9 can be rotated, which can make the body 3 move. At the same time, the correction plate 4 moves, which can adjust the coaxiality of flange 1 and flange 2 until the correction plate 4 contacts flange 1 and flange 2 at the same time, thus completing the correction operation.

[0075] During the vertical upward movement of the two clamping rods 6, the two mating rods 7 move upward at a relatively faster speed, providing upward prestress to the two clamping rods 6, thereby maintaining the stability of the clamping rods 6 and preventing the clamping rods 6 from being damaged under the gravity of the flange-1.

[0076] Meanwhile, after the correction is completed, during the process of lowering flange 1, the connecting surfaces of flange 1 and flange 2 are cleaned by blowing air to keep the connecting surfaces of flange 1 and flange 2 clean, and to further avoid excessive noise and vibration when the dehydration tank is used.

[0077] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
