Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing processing, and discloses a vibration absorbing assembly and clothing processing equipment. The vibration absorbing assembly includes a connecting rod, a push rod and a telescopic mechanism. The vibration absorbing assembly is installed between an outer drum and a chassis. One end of the push rod is against the outer wall of the outer drum. When the outer drum is subjected to a large eccentric force, it will act on the end of the push rod. The eccentric force is transmitted to the telescopic mechanism through the push rod along the connecting rod. The telescopic mechanism is designed to be at least partially elastic. When the elastic part of the telescopic mechanism is compressed, it converts the external force into its own elastic force, thereby absorbing the eccentric force exerted on the outer drum. Therefore, the vibration absorbing assembly can reduce the vibration of the outer drum caused by uneven eccentric force and the poor dehydration effect to a large extent, so that the outer drum can maintain normal operation even when rotating at a high speed, and effectively reduce the vibration and noise of the washing machine.

[0045] In the related art of clothing processing equipment, the washing drum of the washing machine rotates continuously, especially during the dehydration process, at a high speed, resulting in greater vibration and noise. The vibration and noise are both caused by the eccentric force exerted on the washing drum. When the clothes washed in the washing drum are large or the clothes washed have strong water absorption, the eccentric force exerted on the washing drum will be particularly prominent. The existence of the eccentric force not only causes greater vibration and noise of the washing machine, but may even affect the normal use of the user. For example, when the eccentric force is very large, the washing machine cannot perform dehydration operations normally, resulting in poor dehydration effect or even failure to dehydrate and the washing program is terminated.

[0046] Based on this, the following embodiments are proposed.

[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, this embodiment proposes a vibration absorbing assembly for a clothes processing device, wherein the clothes processing device is provided with a cabinet 7 and an outer drum 4 arranged in the cabinet 7, and the vibration absorbing assembly includes a bracket 6, a top rod 2, a connecting rod 1, and a telescopic mechanism 3, wherein:

[0049] The bracket 6 is disposed between the inner wall surface of the chassis 7 and the outer wall surface of the outer tube 4 and one end thereof is fixed on the inner wall surface of the chassis 7;

[0050] The connecting rod 1 is hinged on the bracket 6, and the connecting rod 1 is in active contact with the top rod 2 on one side where the connecting rod 1 is hinged with the bracket 6, and the connecting rod 1 is hinged with the telescopic mechanism 3 on the other side where the connecting rod 1 is hinged with the bracket 6;

[0051] The push rod 2 is movably arranged on the bracket 6, and the push rod 2 has a first end facing the outer cylinder 4 and a second end facing away from the outer cylinder 4 in the direction of its movement. The first end of the push rod 2 is used to contact the outer cylinder 4, and the second end of the push rod 2 is used to movably contact with the connecting rod 1;

[0052] The telescopic mechanism 3 is constructed to be telescopic, one end of the telescopic mechanism 3 is hinged to the connecting rod 1, and the other end is hinged to the bracket 6;

[0053] When the outer cylinder 4 applies a force to the push rod 2, the push rod 2 pushes the connecting rod 1 to rotate, and the connecting rod 1 rotates to shorten the length of the telescopic mechanism 3. The telescopic mechanism 3 has a reaction force on the connecting rod 1 in the compressed state, the connecting rod 1 has a reaction force on the push rod 2, and the push rod 2 has a reaction force on the outer cylinder 4;

[0054] The arm of the moment generated by the push rod 2 on the connecting rod 1 is L1, and the arm of the moment generated by the telescopic mechanism 3 on the connecting rod 1 is L2;

[0055] Among them, L1<L2.

[0056] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 1 is rotatably connected to the inside of the clothing processing device through the hinge hole 5 provided on the connecting rod 1. Taking the clothing processing device as a washing machine as an example, whether it is a pulsator washing machine or a drum washing machine, large vibration and noise will occur when running at high speed. Especially when the washed clothes are too much or too wet, the eccentric force on the washing drum will be large when the washing machine is dehydrated, resulting in poor dehydration effect or failure to dehydrate. At this time, the outer drum 4 will repeatedly hit the chassis 7, causing the inner drum 8 to be unable to rotate smoothly, resulting in In order to fundamentally solve the problem of vibration and poor dehydration, the vibration absorbing assembly in this embodiment is installed between the outer drum 4 and the chassis 7, and one end of the push rod 2 is against the outer wall of the outer drum 4. When the inner drum 8 rotates unsteadily and causes the outer drum 4 to be subjected to a large eccentric force, it will act on the end of the push rod 2. The eccentric force is transmitted to the telescopic mechanism 3 along the connecting rod 1 through the push rod 2. The telescopic mechanism 3 is designed to be at least partially elastic. When the elastic part of the telescopic mechanism 3 is compressed, it converts the external force into its own elastic force, thereby absorbing the eccentric force on the outer drum 4. In this way, the vibration absorbing assembly can greatly reduce the vibration and poor dehydration effect of the outer drum 4 caused by the uneven eccentric force, so that the inner drum 8 can maintain normal operation even when rotating at a high speed, effectively reducing the vibration and noise of the washing machine.

[0057] The arm of the moment generated by the push rod 2 on the connecting rod 1 is L1, and the arm of the moment generated by the telescopic mechanism 3 on the connecting rod 1 is L2, L1<L2. This design realizes that the connecting rod 1 is divided into two sections by the hinge hole 5, which are respectively used as the arm of the eccentric force and the arm of the elastic section on the telescopic mechanism 3. According to the principle of moment balance, even if the vibration absorption component is subjected to a large eccentric force of the outer cylinder 4, since its arm is smaller than the arm of the elastic section, the elastic section can bear a relatively small load, that is, the elastic section can absorb a relatively large eccentric force from the outer cylinder 4. This design not only improves the elastic section on the telescopic mechanism 3 The absorption capacity of the eccentric force also relatively increases the service life of the elastic section.

[0058] The working principle diagram of the vibration absorbing assembly in this embodiment is as follows: Fig.11 As shown, according to this schematic diagram, it is checked whether the vibration absorption component has a defined movement without getting stuck.

[0059] Calculate the degrees of freedom of the vibration absorbing assembly:

[0060] Degree of freedom calculation: F=3n-2Pl-Ph

[0061] Among them: n=4; Pl=5; Ph=1. According to calculation, the degree of freedom of the vibration absorbing component is 1, which means that the mechanism has a definite motion.

[0062] The motion simulation of the mechanism is carried out to verify that the vibration absorbing component has a certain movement. By adding kinematic pairs and drives to the mechanism assembly drawing, the movement of the vibration absorbing component is finally determined within the allowable range of the structure (2' represents the push rod 2, which moves 15mm upward from the initial state), meeting the use requirements, and no jamming occurs.

[0063] Among them, n is the number of active rods of the vibration absorption assembly, pl is the number of low pairs, and ph is the number of high pairs. The values ​​of n, Pl and Ph are based on the following Fig.11 It is determined by the working principle diagram of the vibration absorbing component, n=4 represents four movable components, namely rods 2', 1', 301', 302', pl=5 represents five low pairs, the five low pairs are composed of two moving pairs (9', 10') and three rotating pairs (11', 12', 13'), ph=1 represents that the mechanism has one high pair, and one high pair is the vertex contact kinematic pair (14').

[0064] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 4 , 5 , 9, 10,

[0065] The telescopic mechanism 3 includes a cylinder 303 and a push rod 301, one end of the push rod 301 is hinged to the connecting rod 1, and the other end is inserted into the cylinder cavity of the cylinder 303 and can move axially along the cylinder wall of the cylinder 303;

[0066] An elastic member 304 is disposed in the barrel cavity of the barrel 303, one end of the elastic member 304 abuts against one end of the push rod 301 inserted into the barrel 303, and the other end abuts against the bottom wall of the barrel cavity of the barrel 303;

[0067] A connecting portion 302 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder body 303 at one end away from the push rod 301 , and the connecting portion 302 is hinged on the bracket 6 .

[0068] In this embodiment, when the inner drum 8 rotates unsteadily and causes the outer drum 4 to be subjected to a large eccentric force, the eccentric force will act on the end of the push rod 2. The eccentric force is transmitted to the push rod 301 along the connecting rod 1 through the push rod 2. The push rod 301 is inserted into the end of the cylinder 303 and is connected to a push plate 305. The push plate 305 compresses the elastic member 304. Preferably, the elastic member 304 is a spring. After being compressed, the spring converts the external force into its own elastic force, thereby absorbing the eccentric force exerted on the outer drum 4. Therefore, the vibration absorbing component can reduce the vibration and poor dehydration effect of the outer drum 4 caused by the uneven eccentric force to a large extent, so that the inner drum 8 can maintain normal operation even when rotating at a high speed, and effectively reduce the vibration and noise of the washing machine.

[0069] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 4 , 5 As shown,

[0070] A visible through hole 306 is formed on the side wall of the cylinder 303 , and the visible through hole 306 extends along the expansion and contraction direction of the elastic member 304 .

[0071] In this embodiment, the provision of the visible through hole 306 facilitates observation of the working state of the elastic member 304 , and whether the elastic member 304 needs to be replaced or repaired can be determined according to the working state of the elastic member 304 .

[0072] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 4 , 5 As shown,

[0073] The first end of the push rod 2 is formed with a flat wall 202, and the second end of the push rod 2 is formed with an arc-shaped protrusion 201 protruding toward the connecting rod 1;

[0074] A guide groove is formed on the connecting rod 1, and the arc-shaped protrusion 201 can slide in the guide groove.

[0075] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped protrusion 201 is set so that the arc-shaped protrusion 201 of the push rod 2 has a smaller contact area with the connecting rod 1. When the outer cylinder 4 frequently applies force to the push rod 2, friction is frequently generated between the push rod 2 and the connecting rod 1. The smaller contact area results in less friction loss between the push rod 2 and the connecting rod 1, and the arc-shaped protrusion 201 is more flexible in moving on the connecting rod 1, and can transmit force to the connecting rod 1 in a timely and effective manner.

[0076] The flat wall 202 is provided so that the push rod 2 can effectively press against the outer surface of the outer cylinder 4. When there is a force between the outer cylinder 4 and the push rod 2, it can prevent the outer cylinder 4 from being locally protruded and damaged.

[0077] The setting of the guide groove can limit the sliding path of the arc-shaped protrusion 201 on the connecting rod 1, thereby preventing the vibration absorbing component from being loose as a whole.

[0078] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 4 , 5 As shown,

[0079] The connecting rod 1 includes a third rod segment 101 and a fourth rod segment 102, wherein the third rod segment 101 is close to the top rod 2, and the fourth rod segment 102 is close to the telescopic mechanism 3;

[0080] The side of the connecting rod 1 that is in active contact with the top rod 2 is constructed as a square column, that is, the third rod segment 101 is constructed as a square column, and a plane of the third rod segment 101 is in active contact with the arc-shaped protrusion 201 .

[0081] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 1 is designed to consist of two parts, the third rod segment 101 and the fourth rod segment 102, which is more convenient for forming two lever arm segments, that is, the lever arm of the torque generated by the top rod on the connecting rod is L1, and the lever arm of the torque generated by the telescopic mechanism on the connecting rod is L2. Preferably, the third rod segment 101 is tilted and the fourth rod segment 102 is horizontally set, so as to form the condition of L1<L2. According to the principle of moment balance, even when the vibration absorption component is subjected to a large eccentric force of the outer cylinder 4, since its lever arm is smaller than that of the elastic segment, the elastic segment can withstand a relatively small load, that is, the elastic segment can absorb a relatively large eccentric force from the outer cylinder 4. This design not only improves the absorption capacity of the elastic segment on the telescopic mechanism 3 to the eccentric force, but also relatively increases the service life of the elastic segment.

[0082] In addition, the third rod segment 101 is constructed as a square column, so that a plane of the square column contacts the arc-shaped protrusion 201, which facilitates the movement of the arc-shaped protrusion 201 under the action of force and also provides a larger movement area for the arc-shaped protrusion 201.

[0083] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 , 4, 5, 6,

[0084] The bracket 6 includes a first support plate 601 and a second support plate 602 connected to each other. The first support plate 601 is an arc-shaped plate, which is used to be arranged circumferentially around the wall of the outer cylinder 4. The second support plate 602 is fixed to the chassis 7.

[0085] The first support plate 601 is provided with an opening 603 for passing the push rod 2 and a hinge seat 604 for hinged connection with the telescopic mechanism 3 .

[0086] In this embodiment, the first support plate 601 is closer to the outer cylinder 4 than the second support plate 602, and the first support plate 601 is provided with an opening 603 for passing the push rod 2, and the second support plate 602 is formed with a connecting plate 606 at one end away from the first support plate 601, and the connecting plate 606 is used to be fixedly connected to the chassis 7 of the clothing processing device.

[0087] Specifically, a hinge seat 604 is provided on the first support plate 601, and a second hinge member 307 hingedly connected with the hinge seat 604 is provided at one end of the telescopic mechanism 3 close to the first support plate 601;

[0088] The second support plate 602 is provided with a third hinged member 605 , and the connecting rod 1 is provided with a hinged hole 5 for hinged connection with the third hinged member 605 .

[0089] In this embodiment, preferably, the first support plate 601 is a curved plate structure, the first support plate 601 and the outer cylinder 4 are coaxial, and there is a certain distance between the first support plate 601 and the outer cylinder 4, the second support plate 602 is a flat plate structure, the first support plate 601 and the second support plate 602 are vertically arranged, the opening 603 is for the top rod 2 to pass through, the hinge seat 604 is a triangular platform with an opening, the second hinge 307 is a hinge with a hinge hole, the hinge with the hinge hole is hinged to the triangular platform with the opening, so that the connecting part 302 is hinged to the first support plate 601, the third hinge 605 is a convex column structure, and the connecting rod 1 is hinged to the second support plate 602 by aligning the hinge hole 5 on the connecting rod 1 with the convex column structure.

[0090] A connecting plate 606 is formed at one end of the second supporting plate 602 away from the first supporting plate 601 , and the connecting plate 606 is used for being fixedly connected to the chassis 7 of the laundry processing device.

[0091] Specifically, the bracket 6 is fixed to the chassis 7 by fixedly connecting the connecting plate 606 and the chassis 7 of the clothing processing device. The overall structural design of the bracket 6 allows the connecting rod 1, the top rod 2 and the telescopic mechanism 3 to be arranged between the outer cylinder 4 and the chassis 7. This not only makes the vibration absorbing assembly as a whole suitable for being arranged between the outer cylinder 4 and the chassis 7, thus achieving high space utilization, but also facilitates the arrangement of the connecting rod 1, the top rod 2 and the telescopic mechanism 3.

[0092] Embodiment 2

[0093] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothes processing device, including:

[0094] Chassis 7, outer tube 4 and inner tube 8;

[0095] The vibration absorbing assembly in the first embodiment is arranged between the inner wall surface of the chassis 7 and the outer wall surface of the outer tube 4 .

[0096] Specifically, the connecting plate 606 is fixedly connected to the chassis 7 .

[0097] In this embodiment, the bracket 6 is fixed to the chassis 7 by fixedly connecting the connecting plate 606 with the chassis 7 of the clothing processing device. The overall structural design of the bracket 6 allows the connecting rod 1, the top rod 2 and the telescopic mechanism 3 to be arranged between the outer cylinder 4 and the chassis 7. This not only makes the vibration absorbing assembly as a whole suitable for being arranged between the outer cylinder 4 and the chassis 7, thus achieving high space utilization, but also facilitates the arrangement of the connecting rod 1, the top rod 2 and the telescopic mechanism 3. When the outer drum 4 of the clothes processing device hits the chassis 7 repeatedly, the outer drum 4 and the inner drum 8 cannot rotate smoothly, resulting in vibration and poor dehydration. The vibration absorbing component is installed between the outer drum 4 and the chassis 7, and one end of the push rod 2 is against the outer wall of the outer drum 4. When the inner drum 8 rotates unsteadily and causes the outer drum 4 to be subjected to a large eccentric force, it will act on the end of the push rod 2. The eccentric force is transmitted to the telescopic mechanism 3 along the connecting rod 1 through the push rod 2. The telescopic mechanism 3 is designed to be at least partially elastic. When the elastic part of the telescopic mechanism 3 is compressed, it converts the external force into its own elastic force, thereby absorbing the eccentric force on the outer drum 4. Therefore, the vibration absorbing component can reduce the vibration and poor dehydration effect of the outer drum 4 caused by the uneven eccentric force to a large extent, so that the inner drum 8 can maintain normal operation even when rotating at a high speed, effectively reducing the vibration and noise of the washing machine.

[0098] Furthermore, the arm of the torque generated by the push rod on the connecting rod is L1, and the arm of the torque generated by the telescopic mechanism on the connecting rod is L2, and L1<L2. This design divides the connecting rod into two sections by the hinge hole, which serve as the arm of the eccentric force and the arm of the elastic section on the telescopic mechanism respectively. According to the principle of moment balance, even when the vibration absorption component is subjected to a large eccentric force of the outer cylinder, since its arm is smaller than that of the elastic section, the elastic section can withstand a relatively small load, that is, the elastic section can absorb a relatively large eccentric force from the outer cylinder. This design not only improves the elastic section's ability to absorb the eccentric force on the telescopic mechanism, but also relatively increases the service life of the elastic section.

[0099] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 1-3 As shown,

[0100] There are multiple vibration absorbing components, and the multiple vibration absorbing components are arranged around the outer tube 4.

[0101] Specifically, the outer cylinder 4 includes an outer front cylinder 401 and an outer rear cylinder 402 , and the vibration absorbing component is disposed between the chassis 7 and the outer front cylinder 401 .

[0102] Preferably, four vibration absorbing components are arranged around the outer drum 4 at four vertex corners formed between the outer drum 4 and the chassis 7, respectively, to make full use of the space between the outer drum 4 and the chassis 7. Compared with the traditional vibration damping mechanism which is only located under the outer drum of the washing machine, the surrounding arrangement of the vibration absorbing components in this embodiment has a more comprehensive vibration absorbing effect on the outer drum 4, and the vibration absorbing effect is better.

[0103] In summary, the ingenious design of the vibration absorbing component is:

[0104] First, the vibration absorption component is installed between the outer drum and the chassis, and one end of the push rod is against the outer wall of the outer drum. When the outer drum is subjected to a large eccentric force, it will act on the end of the push rod. The eccentric force is transmitted to the telescopic mechanism through the push rod along the connecting rod. The telescopic mechanism is designed to be at least partially elastic. When the elastic part of the telescopic mechanism is compressed, it converts the external force into its own elastic force, thereby absorbing the eccentric force on the outer drum. In this way, the vibration absorption component can greatly reduce the vibration and poor dehydration effect of the outer drum caused by uneven eccentric force, so that the outer drum can maintain normal operation even when rotating at high speed, effectively reducing the vibration and noise of the washing machine. The arm of the torque generated by the push rod on the connecting rod is L1, and the arm of the torque generated by the telescopic mechanism on the connecting rod is L2, L1<L2; this design divides the connecting rod into two sections by the hinge hole, which serve as the arm of the eccentric force and the arm of the elastic section on the telescopic mechanism respectively. According to the principle of moment balance, even when the vibration absorption component is subjected to a large eccentric force of the outer cylinder, since its arm is smaller than that of the elastic section, the elastic section can withstand a relatively small load, that is, the elastic section can absorb a relatively large eccentric force from the outer cylinder. This design not only improves the elastic section's ability to absorb the eccentric force on the telescopic mechanism, but also relatively increases the service life of the elastic section.

[0105] Second, the setting of the arc-shaped protrusion makes the arc-shaped protrusion of the push rod and the connecting rod have a smaller contact area. When the outer cylinder frequently applies force to the push rod, friction is frequently generated between the push rod and the connecting rod. The smaller contact area causes less friction loss between the push rod and the connecting rod, and the arc-shaped protrusion is more flexible in moving on the connecting rod, and can transfer force to the connecting rod in a timely and effective manner. The setting of the flat wall allows the push rod to effectively press against the outer surface of the outer cylinder. When there is a force between the outer cylinder and the push rod, it avoids local force protrusion of the outer cylinder and damage to the outer cylinder.

[0106] Third, by fixedly connecting the connecting plate to the chassis of the clothing processing device, the entire bracket is fixed to the chassis. The overall structural design of the bracket allows the connecting rod, the top rod and the telescopic mechanism to be arranged between the outer cylinder and the chassis. This not only makes the vibration absorbing assembly as a whole suitable for being arranged between the outer cylinder and the chassis, thus achieving high space utilization, but also facilitates the arrangement of the connecting rod, the top rod and the telescopic mechanism.
