[0020] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended for explanation and illustration of the present disclosure and should not be used to limit the present disclosure.

[0021] In the present disclosure, the orientation words "upper" and "lower" are used to refer to the relative "upper" and "lower" in the direction of gravity when the corresponding components are in use, unless otherwise stated. In addition, in the following description, the same reference signs in different drawings represent the same elements when referring to the drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above definitions are only used to explain and illustrate the present disclosure and should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0022] According to the specific embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in FIG. 1, a washing machine is provided, which includes a machine body 1000, a first drum 2000 connected to the machine body 1000 by a suspension structure, and an anti-abrasion piece 8010 arranged between the inner side wall of the machine body 1000 and the suspension structure.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, by arranging the anti-abrasion piece 8010 between the suspension structure and the inner side wall of the machine body 1000, when the first drum 2000 shakes to drive the suspension structure to shake during the operation of the washing machine, the anti-abrasion piece 8010 can separate the suspension structure and the inner side wall of the machine body 1000, thereby avoiding the contact and friction between the suspension structure and the inner side wall of the machine body 1000, avoiding the abrasion of the machine body 1000, and thus preventing the noise caused by the friction between the suspension structure and the inner side wall of the machine body 1000. In this way, by arranging the anti-abrasion piece 8010, the abrasion of the machine body 1000 is reduced, and the service life of the machine body 1000 is prolonged.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 1As shown, the washing machine further comprises a second drum 3000, the outer diameter of the first drum 2000 is greater than that of the second drum 3000, and the second drum 3000 is arranged above the side of the first drum 2000. In this way, in the washing machine provided by the present disclosure, in order to facilitate the arrangement of the second drum 3000 above the first drum 2000, the first drum 2000 is moved downward, and thus the suspension structure and the suspension point of the first drum 2000 will also move downward with the downward movement of the first drum 2000, so as to adapt to the position of the first drum 2000 and avoid interference between the suspension structure and the second drum 3000. At this time, since the suspension structure is arranged on the side wall of the machine body 1000, the vibration of the first drum 2000 during operation will drive the suspension structure to vibrate, so that the suspension structure will rub against the inner side wall of the machine body 1000. By arranging the anti-abrasion member 8010, the suspension structure and the inner side wall of the machine body 1000 can be spaced apart, so as to avoid the suspension structure from contacting and rubbing against the inner side wall of the machine body 1000 when the suspension structure is shaken by the vibration of the first drum 2000, thereby preventing the machine body 1000 from being abraded.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference is made to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the machine body 1000 comprises a side plate 1020 and a hoisting beam 8040 arranged on the inner side wall of the side plate 1020 and away from the top end of the side plate 1020, and the first drum 2000 is connected to the hoisting beam 8040 through the suspension structure. In the related art, the mounting beam for hoisting the first drum 2000 is arranged at the top end of the side plate 1020, and in the present disclosure, in order to not increase the height size of the washing machine while meeting the arrangement of the double drums, the first drum 2000 is moved downward to reserve space above the side of the first drum 2000 for arranging the second drum 3000. In this way, after the first drum 2000 is moved downward, the suspension point of the hoisting spring 8020 for hoisting the first drum 2000 is also adaptively moved downward away from the top end of the side plate 1020, which will cause the angle between the hoisting spring 8020 and the side plate 1020 in the suspension structure to change (in some embodiments, the angle between the hoisting spring 8020 and the side plate 1020 can become smaller after being moved downward). Thus, the circumference of the hoisting spring 8020 will abut against the inner side wall of the side plate 1020 and come into contact with and rub against the inner side wall of the side plate 1020 during the vibration of the first drum 2000. In the present disclosure, in order to prevent the hoisting spring 8020 from rubbing against the inner side wall of the side plate 1020, the wear-resistant piece is arranged below the hoisting beam 8040 to separate the hoisting spring 8020 from the side plate 1020 of the machine body 1000, so that when the hoisting spring 8020 shakes with the vibration of the first drum 2000, the hoisting spring 8020 can directly contact the wear-resistant piece 8010 instead of the side plate 1020 of the machine body 1000, thereby avoiding the frictional contact between the hoisting spring 8020 and the inner side wall of the machine body 1000 to cause wear of the machine body 1000. When the hoisting beam 8040 is arranged away from the top end of the side plate 1020, the hoisting beam 8040 has a preset distance from the top end of the side plate 1020, which can be 115-125 mm, and in a preferred embodiment, the preset distance is set to 122 mm, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the wear-resistant piece 8010 can be configured as a flexible piece. In this way, when the wear-resistant piece 8010 comes into contact with the suspension structure, due to the elasticity of the flexible piece, the impact force from the suspension structure can be absorbed and dispersed to avoid wear of the suspension structure, and at the same time, due to the ability of the flexible piece to absorb noise, the noise generated by the friction between the suspension structure and the metal surface of the inner side wall of the machine body 1000 is avoided.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 2As shown in FIG. 1, the wear-resistant piece 8010 can be bonded to the inner side wall of the body 1000. In this way, the assembly steps of the wear-resistant piece 8010 are reduced, so as to realize quick installation of the wear-resistant piece 8010, and no other fasteners are needed, reducing the use of parts. At the same time, the bonding connection is used to realize the connection between different materials, such as flexible parts and metal materials, and the application material range is wide.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the body 1000 can be provided with a support 8030 connected to the inner side wall of the body 1000 and extending away from the inner side wall of the body 1000, and the wear-resistant piece 8010 is supported on the support 8030. In this way, when the wear-resistant piece 8010 is bonded to the side wall of the body 1000, the support 8030 can support the wear-resistant piece 8010, avoiding the situation that the wear-resistant piece 8010 is pulled and displaced or falls off due to the shaking of the suspension caused by the first cylinder 2000 when the suspension repeatedly contacts the wear-resistant piece 8010. Therefore, by providing the support 8030, the connection reliability of the wear-resistant piece 8010 is improved.

[0029] In other embodiments of the present disclosure, a connecting device can also be provided between the wear-resistant piece 8010 and the inner side wall of the body 1000, such as a clamping piece provided on the inner side wall of the body 1000, which clamps the wear-resistant piece 8010 to fix the wear-resistant piece 8010 and avoid displacement of the wear-resistant piece 8010. The present disclosure does not make specific limitations thereto.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the support 8030 is configured as a support block which is integrally formed with the body 1000. In this way, the structural strength of the connection between the support block and the body 1000 is improved to ensure the stability of the support of the wear-resistant piece 8010 by the support 8030, while the assembly steps of the support 8030 are reduced, improving the production efficiency of the washing machine.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the wear-resistant piece 8010 can also be detachably connected to the inner side wall of the body 1000. In this way, when the wear-resistant piece 8010 is long-term used and fails or the wear-resistant effect is weakened, the wear-resistant piece 8010 can be replaced, reducing the maintenance time and cost.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 3As shown, the inner side wall of the machine body 1000 is provided with a mounting groove 1010, the wear-resistant piece 8010 is mounted in the mounting groove 1010 in an interference fit, and part of the wear-resistant piece 8010 protrudes from the mounting groove 1010. Wherein, since the wear-resistant piece 8010 can be configured as a flexible piece, when the wear-resistant piece 8010 is mounted in the mounting groove 1010, the wear-resistant piece 8010 can be pressed and placed in the mounting groove 1010, and then the wear-resistant piece 8010 can restore the deformation under the action of its own elasticity and abut against the side wall of the mounting groove 1010 to realize the close fit with the mounting groove 1010. In this way, the assembly process of the wear-resistant piece 8010 is simplified, the installation stability of the wear-resistant piece 8010 is ensured, and the mounting groove 1010 can limit the wear-resistant piece 8010, avoiding the displacement or falling off of the wear-resistant piece 8010 due to the shaking of the suspension structure. In this embodiment, in order to further ensure that the wear-resistant piece 8010 is reliably mounted in the mounting groove 1010, some limiting structures can be arranged to limit the wear-resistant piece 8010, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the suspension structure comprises a lifting spring 8020, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the wear-resistant piece 8010 can be configured as a cylinder, the wear-resistant piece 8010 is sleeved with the lifting spring 8020, and is connected with the lifting spring 8020. In this way, when the first cylinder 2000 shakes to drive the lifting spring 8020 to shake and approach the inner side wall of the machine body 1000, the wear-resistant piece 8010 sleeved outside the lifting spring 8020 can first contact the inner side wall of the machine body 1000, thereby avoiding the direct contact and friction between the lifting spring 8020 and the inner side wall of the machine body 1000. Thus, the wear-resistant piece 8010 sleeved outside the lifting spring 8020 can isolate the contact or collision between the lifting spring 8020 and the outside, avoiding the wear of the machine body 1000.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the wear-resistant piece 8010 is bonded to the lifting spring 8020. In this way, the wear-resistant piece 8010 can be fixedly connected to the lifting spring 8020, avoiding the displacement of the wear-resistant piece 8010 relative to the lifting spring 8020 when the lifting spring 8020 is stretched or rebounded multiple times, so that the wear-resistant piece 8010 cannot isolate the lifting spring 8020 from the inner side wall of the machine body 1000, causing the wear of the machine body 1000.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the wear-resistant piece 8010 can be configured in a strip shape. In this case, the two opposite inner side walls of the machine body 1000 can be respectively provided with a plurality of suspension structures for hoisting the first cylinder 2000. By configuring the wear-resistant piece 8010 in a strip shape and connecting it to the inner side wall, the wear-resistant piece 8010 can correspond to the plurality of suspension structures connected to the same inner side wall, so as to simultaneously play a spacing role between the plurality of suspension structures and the inner side wall of the machine body 1000, and improve the installation efficiency of the wear-resistant piece 8010.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the wear-resistant piece 8010 can also be configured in a block shape and provided in a plurality of pieces. The first cylinder 2000 is connected to the machine body 1000 through a plurality of suspension structures, and the plurality of wear-resistant pieces 8010 are arranged in a spaced manner and correspond to the plurality of suspension structures one by one. In this way, each wear-resistant piece 8010 can be arranged to correspond to the suspension structure, so as to be replaced in time when a single wear-resistant piece 8010 fails, save the material of the wear-resistant piece 8010, and reduce the cost.

[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above-described embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0038] In addition, it should be noted that each specific technical feature described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.
