[0002] Generally, a full-automatic washing machine comprises a box body, an upper cover, an outer drum, an inner drum, a driving and control system, the upper cover is located on the top surface of the box body to be opened and closed, the outer drum is hung in the box body through a hanger device. The inner drum can be put into or taken out of the inner drum by opening the upper cover, the driving system drives the rotation of the motor, and a control panel is arranged on the front or upper part of the box body for the user to select the washing program, and then the control system controls the washing process of the washing machine.

[0003] When the full-automatic washing machine is started and runs in the dehydration process, the outer drum will shake or swing with the starting of the motor, forming a larger vibration and noise. Therefore, in order to weaken the vibration and noise of the washing machine in the dehydration process, the outer drum and the box body are installed together through four hanger devices. The upper part of the hanger device has a hanger seat, and the lower part has a damping sleeve, the damping sleeve has a spring inside, the damping sleeve is clamped below the mounting seat at the bottom of the outer drum, the mounting seat has a suspension hole, the hanger passes through the suspension hole, and the upper hanger seat is arranged in the hole of the four corner reinforcing plates of the box body. When the clothes in the inner drum are offset and unbalanced during the washing or dehydration process, the hanger device alleviates the eccentricity of the outer drum through the buffering effect of the damping spring when the outer drum shakes or swings, so as to achieve the purpose of damping.

[0004] However, when the full-automatic washing machine is started and runs in the dehydration process, the outer drum will shake or swing with the starting of the motor, forming a larger vibration and noise, and the hanger will also shake when the outer drum swings, so that the damping sleeve and the mounting seat will also impact and collide due to the vibration. Since the damping sleeve and the mounting seat are in movable contact, the adhesion of the two is maintained only by gravity, when the eccentricity is large, the damping sleeve and the mounting seat will be separated from the adhesion surface, and the hanger will be unhooked.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the sleeve 20 has a sleeve body 21, a sleeve holder 22 arranged to extend inwardly along the upper end of the sleeve body 21, and a sleeve pipe 23 arranged to extend upwardly along the inner ring of the sleeve holder 22, the sleeve pipe 23 is sleeved on the outer side of the boom 10, and the limiting plate 60 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the sleeve pipe 23.
