[0018] The connecting structure comprises,
[0019] The connecting part extends in the axial direction to a certain length along the horizontal plane where the framework is located and towards the center of the barrel assembly;
[0020] The protruding part is connected to the extension end of the connecting part and extends to a certain length towards the bottom of the barrel assembly and cooperates with the first groove of the barrel liner assembly;
[0021] Preferably, the connecting part and the protruding part are an integral structure.
[0022] Preferably, the barrel liner assembly is provided with a barrel liner insert, and the first groove of the barrel liner assembly is connected to the connecting structure through the barrel liner insert.
[0023] Preferably, the connecting structure is provided with a through hole, and the barrel liner insert comprises,
[0024] The body is arranged in the first groove of the barrel liner assembly;
[0025] The first protrusion is arranged on the upper surface of the body and cooperates with the concave structure arranged on the lower surface of the upper liner through the through hole of the connecting structure;
[0026] Preferably, the bottom of the first groove has a second groove formed by being concave downward, and the volume of the second groove is much smaller than the volume of the first groove.
[0027] The barrel liner insert further comprises a second protrusion arranged on the lower surface of the body, and the second protrusion cooperates with the second groove.
[0028] Preferably, the bottom liner is provided with a second limiting part extending upward and protruding around the periphery, and the second limiting part is used for limiting the bottom of the outer box body in the horizontal direction.
[0029] The top surface of the liner protrudes upward to form a fixing part for securing the bottom of the barrel assembly and / or the inner box.
[0030] Preferably, the upper liner includes,
[0031] The first upper liner has an inwardly recessed cavity on its upper surface for placing the platform on top of the outer box. The lower surface of the first upper liner mates with the barrel liner assembly.

[0048] It should be noted that these accompanying drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0050] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.
[0051] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0052] The present invention provides a packaging structure for a washing device, the washing device comprising an outer box 4, an inner box 5 disposed within the outer box 4, and a drum assembly 3 disposed inside the inner box 5.
[0053] The outer casing 4 not only constitutes the overall appearance of the washing equipment, but also has a front opening 44, providing users with a convenient access channel.
[0054] The inner casing 5 adopts a sliding installation method, allowing users to easily pull or push the inner casing 5 out of the outer casing 4 through the front opening 44, a design similar to the convenient operation of a drawer. This structure makes internal cleaning and maintenance of the equipment extremely convenient.
[0055] Specifically, the outer casing 4 comprises a frame 42 and an outer shell 41. The outer shell 41 tightly wraps around the frame 42, and a work surface is provided on the top of the outer shell 41, providing a comfortable operating space for the user. The outer shell 41 has a U-shaped structure, consisting of a rear cover, a left side panel, and a right side panel. The left and right side panels are positioned opposite each other, and the rear cover is positioned opposite the front opening 44, ensuring the stability and aesthetics of the outer casing 4.
[0056] To enhance the structural strength of the outer casing 4, the frame 42 includes a first frame 421, a second frame 422, and connectors 43 connecting the first frame 421 and the second frame 422. Both the first frame 421 and the second frame 422 have rectangular frame structures and are parallel to each other. Two sets of connectors 43 tightly connect the two frames together. One set of connectors 43 connects the upper left corner of the first frame 421 and the upper left corner of the second frame 422, and the other set of connectors 43 connects the upper right corner of the first frame 421 and the upper right corner of the second frame 422. This structural design ensures the stability and durability of the outer casing 4.
[0057] The outer casing 4 is specially designed with slide rails (not shown) to ensure that the inner casing 5 can slide smoothly inside the outer casing 4. These slide rails include two parallel ones, which are respectively mounted on the first frame 421 and the second frame 422. One slide rail is connected to the lower left corner of the first frame 421 and the lower left corner of the second frame 422, while the other is connected to the lower right corner of both.
[0058] The length direction of the outer casing 4 is defined as the left-right direction, and the height direction of the outer casing 4 is defined as the up-down direction.
[0059] To facilitate the movement of the slide rail, the bottom of the inner housing 5 is provided with two mounting plates 51, which are positioned corresponding to the slide rail. Both ends of the lower surface of the mounting plates 51 are equipped with rolling structures, including rollers. When force is applied to pull out or push in the inner housing 5, the rollers will move smoothly along the slide rail, thereby driving the inner housing 5 to slide relative to the outer housing 4.
[0060] In addition, to ensure stability during sliding and reduce impact, buffer pads are installed between the slide rail and the mounting plate 51. These buffer pads are located on one side of the slide rail along its length and do not affect the normal movement of the rollers, but effectively absorb and mitigate the horizontal impact that the bottom of the inner box 5 and the outer box 4 may experience during transportation. This design not only improves the safety of the equipment but also increases its service life.
[0061] This invention is not limited to the manual sliding of the inner housing 5, but extends to automated control. To this end, a first drive motor is integrated on the outer housing 4, which provides power to realize the automatic and repeated movement of the inner housing 5 relative to the outer housing 4.
[0062] In terms of intelligence, the main control board is located on the side of the top of the outer casing 4. As the "brain" of the equipment, it can receive and analyze the user's operation instructions to ensure that the washing equipment runs accurately according to the preset program.
[0063] The structural design of the inner housing 5 also emphasizes practicality and strength. It consists of a first outer shell and a door. The first outer shell includes a first side panel, a second side panel opposite to the first side panel, and a first rear cover panel connecting the two side panels. The door is located opposite the first rear cover panel, and its two sides are connected to the first and second side panels respectively. It is equipped with handles, which allow users to easily pull the inner housing 5 out of the front opening 44 of the outer housing 4 by pulling the handles.
[0064] To enhance the door's durability, an internal reinforcement structure is incorporated, forming an integral part of the door. This ensures that the two move synchronously when the door is pulled out or pushed in, effectively preventing deformation or damage to the door.
[0065] In addition, four triangular plates are installed at the four corners of the top of the first outer shell of the inner box 5. These triangular plates are connected to the lifting rods and are used to securely suspend the bucket assembly 3 inside the inner box 5, which not only ensures the stability of the structure, but also facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the bucket assembly 3.
[0066] The tub assembly 3 is the core part of the washing equipment. It has a first open end 31 for users to put clothes in. The tub assembly 3 includes an outer tub and an inner tub disposed inside the outer tub. The outer tub is supported inside the inner box 5 by a hanging rod and is used to hold washing water. The inner tub is rotatably disposed inside the outer tub and can rotate to perform washing and spin-drying functions.
[0067] To seal and protect the tub assembly 3, a tray is designed on top of the first outer casing. The main function of this tray is to cover the gap between the inner wall of the outer tub and the outer wall of the inner tub, as well as the space between the inner wall of the outer tub and the first outer casing and the door, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the washing process.
[0068] Specifically, the tray base consists of a support component and a ring component, which are integrally connected. The support component has a rectangular outer contour and a circular space inside. The ring component is located within this circular space, and its inner radius is approximately the same as the radius of the first open end 31 of the tub assembly 3. Uniquely, the ring component is gradually inclined from the outer circumference to the inner circumference. This design not only enhances the stability of the tray base but also optimizes the water flow distribution and improves the washing effect.
[0069] In addition, to reduce collisions between the inner casing 5 and the outer casing 4 caused by shaking during transportation, the packaging structure of the washing equipment includes L-shaped pads, which are placed between the outer surface of the tray base and the first outer shell surface of the inner casing 5. These pads can effectively absorb impacts and vibrations, effectively reducing the phenomenon of collisions between the inner casing 5 and the outer casing 4 caused by shaking during transportation, thus protecting the washing equipment during transportation.
[0070] A drainage channel is formed between the inner wall of the outer tub and the outer wall of the inner tub. Specifically, a first drainage channel is formed between the bottom of the inner tub and the bottom of the outer tub, while a second drainage channel is formed between the body of the outer tub and the body of the inner tub. The first and second drainage channels are connected and together constitute the drainage channel.
[0071] The inner tub is connected to the drain channel. Specifically, the inner tub has multiple spaced-apart through holes that penetrate the tub. Water flows through these holes into the drain channel, and water from the drain channel can also flow through these holes into the inner tub. This enhances the rinsing effect of the water flow on the clothes inside the inner tub and also allows the detergent to dissolve more fully.
[0072] The washing machine's outer tub is designed with a drain outlet, which is connected to the drainage channel via a drain pipe, ensuring that water can be smoothly discharged from the washing machine during or after the washing process. This design not only optimizes drainage efficiency but also enhances the overall ease of use of the equipment.
[0073] The washing equipment of this invention, particularly the pulsator washing machine, not only offers the flexibility of built-in installation but also incorporates a drawer-style design. This innovative design allows users to enjoy greater convenience during use. Compared to traditional pulsator washing machines, users do not need to reserve a large amount of space for the washing machine beforehand, nor do they need to install obstructions such as tabletops above it. Users can easily pull the inner cabinet 5 out of the outer cabinet 4 by simply pulling the door, thus facilitating the loading and unloading of clothes and maintenance of the equipment.
[0074] In addition, the washing equipment of the present invention also inherits the advantages of pulsator washing machines in terms of saving time, saving electricity and low price, providing users with a more economical, affordable and efficient experience.
[0075] The packaging structure of the washing equipment includes a bottom liner 2, an upper liner 1, and a drum liner assembly 6.
[0076] The bottom liner 2 serves as the foundation of the entire packaging structure, supporting the bottom of the outer casing 4 of the washing equipment. To ensure that the outer casing 4 does not move horizontally during transportation, a second limiting part 21 extending upward is specially designed around the bottom liner 2. These limiting parts fit tightly against the bottom of the outer casing 4, achieving stable horizontal positioning.
[0077] At the center of the top surface of the bottom liner 2, there is an upwardly protruding fixing part 22. This fixing part 22 has an approximately isosceles trapezoidal structure, with its width gradually decreasing from bottom to top, and a third limiting part 221 formed by a downward indentation at the top. This design not only facilitates matching with the bottom of the bucket assembly 3, but also enables effective support and fixation of the bottom of the bucket assembly 3 and / or the inner box 5 through the bracket 23 on the third limiting part 221 and the detachably connected fixing plate 24.
[0078] The upper liner 1 covers and protects the top of the outer casing 4. It consists of two parts: a first upper liner 12 and a second upper liner 11. The upper surface of the first upper liner 12 has an inwardly recessed receiving cavity, which is specifically designed to store the tabletop on top of the outer casing 4. When packaging washing equipment, the user simply removes the tabletop from the outer casing 4 and places it into the receiving cavity of the first upper liner 12.
[0079] The lower surface of the first upper liner 12 fits tightly with the tub liner assembly 6, while the second upper liner 11 covers the receiving cavity of the first upper liner 12, forming a complete top protective layer. The entire packaging structure is rationally designed, ensuring not only the stability and safety of the washing equipment during transportation but also fully considering the ease of operation for users. Through simple disassembly and assembly, users can easily complete the packaging and transportation of the equipment.
[0080] The tub liner assembly 6 is located at the first open end 31 of the tub assembly 3, and at least cooperates with the first open end 31 to fix the tub assembly 3, ensuring the stability and safety of the washing equipment during transportation.
[0081] To ensure a secure fixation of the tub liner assembly 6, the tub liner assembly 6 and the upper liner 1 are used in a mutually cooperating manner. The upper liner 1 serves as the packaging layer on top of the washing equipment, and its shape and size are tightly fitted to the outer casing 4.
[0082] Through the cooperation of the upper liner 1, the tub liner assembly 6, and the bottom liner 2, the outer casing 4, the inner casing 5, and the tub assembly 3 of the washing equipment are firmly fixed. This design effectively prevents the tub assembly 3 from colliding with the inner casing 5 due to shaking during transportation, thereby reducing noise generation and also lowering the risk of damage to the tub assembly 3.
[0083] To ensure a secure fit between the barrel liner assembly 6 and the upper liner 1, a raised structure is provided on the upper surface of the barrel liner assembly 6, while a corresponding groove structure is provided on the lower surface of the upper liner 1. When the barrel liner assembly 6 and the upper liner 1 are engaged, the raised structure and the groove structure fit together seamlessly, ensuring a tight connection between the two.
[0084] Specifically, the barrel liner assembly 6 has a circular cross-section, and its lower surface is designed with a circular protrusion extending a certain length inward toward the first opening end 31. This circular protrusion is coaxially arranged with the barrel liner assembly 6, and its radius is smaller than the radius of the barrel liner assembly 6. The barrel liner assembly 6 is assembled with the first opening end 31 by inserting the circular protrusion into the first opening end 31. This design is not only simple and practical, but also effectively prevents the barrel assembly 3 from shaking and colliding during transportation.
[0085] Preferably, the barrel liner assembly 6 is fitted with the upper liner 1, and the upper liner 1 is fitted with the outer casing 4.
[0086] The upper liner 1, the tub liner assembly 6, and the bottom liner 2 work together to firmly fix the outer casing 4, the inner casing 5, and the tub assembly 3 of the washing equipment, preventing the tub assembly 3 from shaking and colliding with the inner casing 5 during transportation, thus avoiding noise and damage to the tub assembly 3.
[0087] Preferably, the upper surface of the barrel liner assembly 6 is provided with a protruding structure, and the lower surface of the upper liner 1 is provided with a groove structure. The protruding structure and the groove structure fit together to realize the assembly of the barrel liner assembly 6 and the upper liner 1.
[0088] Specifically, the cross-section of the barrel liner assembly 6 is circular, and the lower surface of the barrel liner assembly 6 is provided with a circular protrusion extending a certain length toward the inside of the first opening end 31. The circular protrusion is coaxially arranged with the barrel liner assembly 6, and the radius of the circular protrusion is smaller than the radius of the barrel liner assembly 6. The barrel liner assembly 6 is assembled with the first opening end 31 by inserting the circular protrusion into the first opening end 31.
[0089] Preferably, the packaging structure further includes a connecting structure 7, the two ends of which are connected to the first frame 421 and the second frame 422 inside the outer box 4, and the middle part of the connecting structure 7 is connected to the barrel liner assembly 6. That is, the barrel liner assembly 6 and the outer box 4 are detachably connected through the connecting structure 7.
[0090] Preferably, the connecting structure 7 includes an integral connecting part 71 and a protrusion 72. The connecting part 71 extends axially for a certain length along the horizontal direction of the frame 42 towards the center of the barrel assembly 3, providing stable support for the entire connecting structure 7. The protrusion 72 is connected to the extended end of the connecting part 71 and extends for a certain length towards the bottom of the barrel assembly 3 to ensure a tight fit with the barrel liner assembly 6.
[0091] To facilitate the detachable connection between the barrel liner assembly 6 and the outer casing 4, a first groove 61 is provided on the upper surface of the barrel liner assembly 6, and a protrusion 72 is engaged in the first groove 61 to cooperate with the first groove 61 to realize the assembly of the barrel liner assembly 6 and the outer casing 4, thereby achieving a stable connection between the barrel liner assembly 6 and the outer casing 4.
[0092] Specifically, the protrusion 72 includes an inclined section and a horizontal section connected to each other. The inclined section extends inclinedly from the extension end of the connecting part 71 towards the bottom of the barrel assembly 3, and its distance from the central axis of the barrel assembly 3 gradually decreases. This design makes the connection smoother and also increases the stability of the connection. The horizontal section is connected to the extension end of the inclined section, forming an approximately U-shaped structure. This structure not only enhances the stability of the connection but also makes the disassembly process more convenient.
[0093] Preferably, a barrel liner insert 62 is installed on the barrel liner assembly 6. The first groove 61 of the barrel liner assembly 6 is connected to the connecting structure 7 through the barrel liner insert 62. Setting the barrel liner insert 62 can increase the contact area with the barrel liner assembly 6 and improve the stability of the connection between the connecting structure 7 and the barrel liner assembly 6.
[0094] Preferably, a through hole is provided in the middle of the protrusion 72 of the connecting structure 7, and the barrel liner insert 62 includes a body 621 and a first protrusion 622. The body 621 has an approximately trapezoidal shape, with a narrower bottom and a wider top, which facilitates placing the body 621 in the first groove 61 of the barrel liner assembly 6. The first protrusion 622 is provided on the upper surface of the body 621, and passes through the through hole of the protrusion 72 to cooperate with the groove structure provided on the lower surface of the upper liner 1.
[0095] Even better, in order to ensure a more stable connection between the connecting structure 7 and the barrel liner insert 62, and to prevent the connecting structure 7 and the barrel liner assembly 6 from not being tightly connected due to severe bumps during transportation, a second protrusion 623 is provided on the lower surface of the plate-like structure at the bottom of the body 621. The bottom of the first groove 61 has a second groove formed by downward indentation. The volume of the second groove is much smaller than the volume of the first groove 61. During assembly, the second protrusion 623 and the second groove are inserted and matched to form an additional locking mechanism, which effectively prevents the connection from loosening due to severe bumps during transportation.
[0096] Preferably, the bottom liner 2 is provided with an upwardly extending and protruding second limiting part 21 around its perimeter, which is used to limit the bottom of the outer casing 4 in the horizontal direction; the top liner 1 is provided with a downwardly extending and protruding first limiting part around its perimeter, which is used to limit the top of the outer casing 4 in the horizontal direction. By providing the first limiting part and the second limiting part 21, the bottom and top of the outer casing 4 of the washing equipment can be completely covered, avoiding shaking during transportation and preventing damage to the outer casing 4 of the washing equipment due to shaking.
[0097] The packaging structure of the washing equipment also includes side linings 8, of which there are four. The four corners of the upper lining 1 and the bottom lining 2 are respectively inserted by the four side linings 8. At least one fixing strip 82 connects adjacent side linings 8. When using this packaging structure, the bottom lining 2 is placed on the ground or other stable flat surface, the washing equipment is placed on the bottom lining 2, the side linings 8 are inserted at the four corners of the bottom lining 2, the upper lining 1 is inserted on the top of the side linings 8, and finally the fixing strip 82 is installed horizontally at the same height on the same side of the two side linings 8. The fixing strip 82 further fixes the overall packaging structure. At the same time, when the washing machine is dropped or collided during transportation, the fixing strip 82 can enhance the overall integrity of the packaging structure and prevent the structure of the washing machine from being damaged. At the same time, when the clamping cart clamps the packaged washing equipment, it clamps at the position of the fixing strip 82, which can effectively prevent the clamping cart from damaging the washing machine shell and protect the integrity of the outer box 4 and the outer shell 41.
[0098] Multiple fixing strips 82 at different heights are connected between adjacent side panels 8. Multiple mounting slots 81 are provided on the side panels 8, and each mounting slot 81 is inserted into a corresponding fixing strip 82. The fixing strips 82 include, but are not limited to, wooden strips. The purpose is that, on the one hand, wooden strips are relatively strong and have a certain degree of toughness, which can fully play a protective role; on the other hand, wooden strips are relatively inexpensive.
[0099] The side liner 8 has an L-shaped cross section. The four L-shaped side liners 8 can cover the four sides of the washing equipment, providing better protection for the corners of the washing machine. In order to improve the strength of the side liner 8, the outer surface of the corner of the L-shaped side liner 8 is concave and convex, which can improve the strength of the L-shaped side liner 8. The mounting groove 81 is opened at the convex part of the concave and convex surface.
[0100] The top and bottom ends of the side liner 8 are respectively provided with insertion protrusions 83, and insertion slots 25 are respectively opened at the four corners of the upper liner 1 and the bottom liner 2. The insertion protrusions 83 are inserted into the insertion slots 25 to fix the upper liner 1, the side liner 8 and the bottom liner 2. By inserting the side liner 8 into the upper liner 1 and the bottom liner 2, not only is material saved, but also during the installation process, the basic structure of the packaging can be completed simply by inserting. In the event of a drop or collision during transportation, the side liner 8 can strengthen the connection between the bottom liner 2 and the upper liner 1 and the washing equipment, so that the bottom liner 2 and the upper liner 1 will not easily separate from the washing equipment and thus fail to protect the outer casing 4 of the washing equipment. Especially when the washing equipment is laid down, the side liner 8 is close to the outer casing 4 of the washing equipment. If the washing equipment is rolled or bumped, it can absorb the impact force and play a good protective role for the washing equipment.
