Detailed Implementation

[0018] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0019] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have sequential or importance implications. The directional terms used, such as "first direction," "second direction," and "third direction," are based on... Figure 2 The XYZ coordinate system is defined here, specifically, the X direction refers to the first direction, the Y direction to the second direction, and the Z direction to the third direction. Furthermore, in the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The above definitions are for explanation and illustration only and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0020] Based on the specific embodiments provided in this disclosure, refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a washing machine is provided, which includes a first support beam 1410, a second support beam 1420 and a wire harness bracket 1500. The wire harness bracket 1500 is arranged between the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 and is connected to the first support beam 1410 and / or the second support beam 1420 and / or the housing of the washing machine.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the washing machine provided in this disclosure includes a wire harness bracket 1500 disposed between the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420. The first support beam 1410, the second support beam 1420, and the washing machine shell can all provide a carrier for the installation of the wire harness bracket 1500. In this way, the wire harness bracket 1500 can be installed in any suitable position according to actual needs. When assembling the various electrical components inside the washing machine, the wire harness bracket 1500 can provide certain support for the wire harness while meeting the requirements for wire harness organization, so as to avoid the wire harness being repeatedly bent and improve the service life of the wire harness. In addition, the wire harness bracket 1500 can also play a certain role in restricting the position of the wire harness, preventing the wire harness from shifting due to machine vibration during the use of the washing machine, and improving the reliability of the wire harness.

[0022] It should be noted that "the wire harness bracket 1500 is connected to the first support beam 1410 and / or the second support beam 1420 and / or the washing machine housing" means that, in this disclosure, the wire harness bracket 1500 can be connected to at least one of the first support beam 1410, the second support beam 1420 and the washing machine housing, or it can be connected to all three of the first support beam 1410, the second support beam 1420 and the washing machine housing to achieve installation on the washing machine body 1000. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0023] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, the wiring harness bracket 1500 can be connected to the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 in any suitable manner, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations in this regard. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the wire harness bracket 1500 can be detachably connected to the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 via the first snap-fit ​​structure 1540 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 1550, respectively. The first snap-fit ​​structure 1540 and the second snap-fit ​​mechanism facilitate quick assembly and disassembly of the wire harness bracket 1500 from the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 without the need for tools, making the process simple and convenient.

[0024] In other embodiments, the wire harness bracket 1500 may also be integrally formed with one of the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420, and detachably connected to the other of the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420. Alternatively, the wire harness bracket 1500 may also be integrally formed with both the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420, for example by stamping, injection molding or welding. All of these methods can achieve the purpose of connecting the wire harness bracket 1500 between the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420. This disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0025] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, the wiring harness bracket 1500 can be constructed in any suitable form to achieve a detachable connection with the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 while ensuring the limitation of the wiring harness position. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations in this regard. As an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wire harness bracket 1500 may include a bracket body 1510, a first connecting plate 1520 and a second connecting plate 1530. The bracket body 1510 may have a wire harness constraint portion 1511. The first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530 may be connected to opposite sides of the bracket body 1510 and bent in the same direction from the end of the bracket body 1510. The first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530 may be detachably connected to the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 through the first snap-fit ​​structure 1540 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 1550, respectively. In other words, the bracket body 1510 is provided with a wire harness constraint part 1511, which is used to limit the position of the wire harness and provide certain support for the wire harness to avoid the wire harness from getting tangled or bent. The first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530 are connected to the end of the bracket body 1510 and bend in the same direction. This direction can be towards the inside of the washing machine body 1000, so as to avoid affecting the aesthetics of the washing machine when the wire harness bracket 1500 is set to fit against the outer shell of the washing machine. The first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530 are respectively connected to the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 to fix the bracket body 1510 between the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420. Thus, the wire harness constraint part 1511, i.e., the wire harness, is also fixed between the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420. The arrangement of the first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530 achieves the connection between the wire harness bracket 1500 and the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 without affecting the wire harness passing through the wire harness constraint part 1511. At this time, the wire harness is gathered at the wire harness constraint part 1511. In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, the control box 6100 can be arranged close to the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 to facilitate the connection between the wire harness and the control box 6100.

[0026] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, the first snap-fit ​​structure 1540 can be constructed in any suitable form to achieve a detachable connection between the wire harness bracket 1500 and the first support beam 1410, and this disclosure does not impose specific limitations in this regard. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the first snap-fit ​​structure 1540 may include a snap-fit ​​1541 and a first slot 1542. The first connecting plate 1520 may be provided with one of the snap-fit ​​1541 and the first slot 1542, and the first support beam 1410 may be provided with the other of the snap-fit ​​1541 and the first slot 1542. The snap-fit ​​1541 is used to snap into the first slot 1542. Thus, when the wire harness bracket 1500 needs to be installed, it is only necessary to ensure that the snap-fit ​​1541 and the first slot 1542 are aligned, and the two are snapped together by pressing or other means to achieve the connection between the first connecting plate 1520 and the first support beam 1410.

[0027] The latch 1541 and the first slot 1542 can both be constructed in any suitable form, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on them. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 3As shown, the first support beam 1410 may include a first body 1411 and a first mounting plate 1412. The first mounting plate 1412 may be connected to the first body 1411 and bent from the end of the first body 1411. The first mounting plate 1412 may have a first slot 1542, which is recessed from the end of the first mounting plate 1412 toward the first body 1411. The latch 1541 may include two spaced hooks 15411, which may include... The hook body 154111 and the latching part 154112 are connected. The hook body 154111 is connected to the first connecting plate 1520 and extends toward the first mounting plate 1412. The latching part 154112 bends away from the end of the hook body 154111 away from the other hook 15411. The hook body 154111 extends into the first slot 1542 from the opening of the first slot 1542. The latching part 154112 extends out of the first slot 1542 and hooks onto the first mounting plate 1412. Thus, when it is necessary to engage the buckle 1541 with the first slot 1542, an external force is applied to the two hooks 15411 to make the hook bodies 154111 of the two hooks 15411 face each other to reduce the distance between them, and then enter the first slot 1542 through the slot. After the external force is removed, the hook bodies 154111 of the two hooks 15411 move back to their original positions under the action of their own mechanical strength, and can then abut against the slot wall of the first slot 1542, thereby limiting the buckle 1541, i.e. the first connecting plate 1520, relative to the first mounting plate 1412 in the second direction. The hook 15411 also includes a snap-fit ​​portion 154112 that is bent away from the hook body 154111 and away from the other hook 15411. When the hook body 154111 is located in the first slot 1542, the snap-fit ​​portion 154112 can hook onto the first mounting plate 1412, thereby limiting the buckle 1541, i.e., the first connecting plate 1520, relative to the first mounting plate 1412 in the third direction. When it is necessary to disassemble the buckle 1541 from the first slot 1542, it is only necessary to apply an external force to the two hooks 15411 to reduce the distance between the hook bodies 154111 of the two hooks 15411 so that they can be disengaged from the slot of the first slot 1542, thus achieving the disassembly of the buckle 1541 from the first slot 1542.

[0028] Based on the above embodiments, as an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 3As shown, a stop flange 15421 may also be provided at the opening of the first slot 1542. The two opposite side walls of the first slot 1542 are respectively provided with stop flanges 15421. The hook body 154111 can be inserted into the first slot 1542 between the two stop flanges 15421. The stop flange 15421 is used to limit the hook body 154111 in the first slot 1542. In this way, under the action of external force, the hook bodies 154111 of the two hooks 15411 change towards each other to reduce the distance between them. Then, after passing through the two stop flanges 15421 and entering the first slot 1542, the external force is removed, and the hook bodies 154111 of the two hooks 15411 move back to their original positions under their own mechanical strength. At this time, the distance between the two hooks 15411 is larger than the distance when passing through the stop flanges 15421. Without the action of external force, they cannot extend from between the two stop flanges 15421, that is, they are limited by the stop flanges 15421 in the first slot 1542, realizing the limiting of the buckle 1541, that is, the first connecting plate 1520, relative to the first mounting plate 1412 in the first direction.

[0029] In some other embodiments, the buckle 1541 can also be provided on the first mounting plate 1412. Correspondingly, the first connecting plate 1520 is provided with a first slot 1542, which can also realize the detachable connection between the first connecting plate 1520 and the first mounting plate 1412, that is, the wire harness bracket 1500 and the first support beam 1410. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0030] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, the second snap-fit ​​structure 1550 can be constructed in any suitable form to achieve a detachable connection between the wire harness bracket 1500 and the second support beam 1420, and this disclosure does not impose specific limitations in this regard. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the second snap-fit ​​structure 1550 may include a snap-fit ​​plate 1551 and a second snap-fit ​​groove 1552. The second connecting plate 1530 may be provided with one of the snap-fit ​​plate 1551 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 1552. The second support beam 1420 may be provided with the other of the snap-fit ​​plate 1551 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 1552. The snap-fit ​​plate 1551 is used to extend into the second snap-fit ​​groove 1552 and snap-fit ​​with it. In this way, when the wire harness bracket 1500 needs to be installed, it is only necessary to ensure that the snap-fit ​​plate 1551 and the second snap-fit ​​groove 1552 are aligned, and the two are snapped together by pressing or other means to achieve the connection between the second connecting plate 1530 and the second support beam 1420.

[0031] The snap-fit ​​plate 1551 and the second snap-fit ​​slot 1552 can both be constructed in any suitable form, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on them. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 4 As shown, the second support beam 1420 may include a second body 1421 and a second mounting plate 1422. The second mounting plate 1422 may be connected to the second body 1421 and bent from the end of the second body 1421. A snap-fit ​​plate 1551 may be connected to the second mounting plate 1422. The second connecting plate 1530 may be provided with an extension plate 14221. The extension plate 14221 may include a first plate segment 142211 and a second plate segment 142212 connected together. The first plate segment 142211 may be connected to the second connecting plate 1530. The second plate segment 142212 may be bent from the end of the first plate segment 142211 toward the snap-fit ​​plate 1551 to form a second snap-fit ​​groove 1552. The snap-fit ​​plate 1551 extends into the second snap-fit ​​groove 1552 and snaps into the second snap-fit ​​groove 1552. Thus, when it is necessary to engage the snap-fit ​​plate 1551 with the second snap-fit ​​slot 1552, simply align the second snap-fit ​​slot 1552 formed on the extension plate 14221 toward the snap-fit ​​plate 1551, and simultaneously apply an external force to the second connecting plate 1530 or the second mounting plate 1422 to move the extension plate 14221 toward the snap-fit ​​plate 1551 along the extension direction of the second snap-fit ​​slot 1552 so that the snap-fit ​​plate 1551 extends into the second snap-fit ​​slot 1552. This achieves the limiting of the extension plate 14221, i.e. the second connecting plate 1530, relative to the second mounting plate 1422 in the second direction and the third direction.

[0032] Based on the above embodiments, as an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second mounting plate 1422 may also be provided with a limiting portion, which may be configured as a limiting plate 14222. The limiting plate 14222 may include a third plate segment 142221 and a fourth plate segment 142222. The third plate segment 142221 may be connected to the second mounting plate 1422, and the fourth plate segment 142222 may be connected to the third plate segment 142221 and bent from the end of the third plate segment 142221. The fourth plate segment 142222 is arranged at an angle to the second connecting plate 1530, and the fourth plate segment 142222 is used to limit the displacement of the second connecting plate 1530 in the first direction. Thus, when the wire harness bracket 1500 is installed, the second connecting plate 1530 is controlled to pass over the limiting part, and the connection between the second connecting plate 1530 and the second mounting plate 1422 is realized through the second snap-fit ​​structure 1550. At this time, the limiting part is limited to one side of the second connecting plate 1530 and arranged at an angle to the second connecting plate 1530, thereby realizing the limiting of the second connecting plate 1530 relative to the second mounting plate 1422 in the first direction.

[0033] In some other embodiments, the extension plate 14221 may also be disposed on the first mounting plate 1412. Correspondingly, the first connecting plate 1520 is provided with a snap-fit ​​plate 1551, which can also realize the detachable connection between the first connecting plate 1520 and the first mounting plate 1412, that is, the wire harness bracket 1500 and the first support beam 1410. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0034] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the washing machine may include a first drum 2000 and a second drum 3000. The diameter of the first drum 2000 is larger than that of the second drum 3000. The axes of the first drum 2000 and the second drum 3000 extend along a second direction. The second drum 3000 may be arranged above the left or right of the first drum 2000. The casing of the washing machine may have a first surface away from the second drum 3000 in the first direction, and the wiring harness bracket 1500 may be arranged on the first surface. That is, since the second drum 3000 is smaller than the first drum 2000, in order to reduce the overall size of the washing machine, when the second drum 3000 is located above the left of the first drum 2000, the wiring harness bracket 1500 may be correspondingly located above the right of the first drum 2000. Correspondingly, when the second drum 3000 is located above the right of the first drum 2000, the wiring harness bracket 1500 may be correspondingly located above the left of the first drum 2000, so as to minimize the size of the washing machine. In this disclosure, both the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 are fixed to the machine body. The first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 can be arranged at intervals along a third direction. The number of the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 can be two, and they are arranged opposite to each other on the first and second surfaces of the casing along a first direction. The two first support beams 1410 are connected by a suspension beam 1100. In this way, the first drum 2000 is arranged between the two second support beams 1420, and the second drum 3000 is arranged on the suspension beam 1100. The wire harness bracket 1500 can be arranged on the first surface of the washing machine casing away from the second drum 3000 in the first direction. This allows for easy connection between the wire harness constrained by the wire harness bracket 1500 and the first drum 2000 and the second drum 3000, while minimizing the size of the washing machine and improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the washing machine.

[0035] The number of wire harness brackets 1500 can be one, with one wire harness bracket 1500 disposed between the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 on either side of the first roller 2000. Alternatively, the number of wire harness brackets 1500 can be two, with two wire harness brackets 1500 disposed between the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 on both sides of the first roller 2000, to facilitate the connection between the wire harness and the first roller 2000. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0036] In summary, in the wire harness bracket 1500 provided in this disclosure, when the wire harness bracket 1500 needs to be installed, firstly, the wire harness bracket 1500 is controlled to pass over the limiting part. By controlling the second connecting plate 1530, the second slot 1552 moves toward the snap-fit ​​plate 1551 until the snap-fit ​​plate 1551 enters the second slot 1552, realizing the snap-fit ​​connection between the second connecting plate 1530 and the second mounting plate 1422. Then, by applying external force to the buckle 1541, the distance between the buckle bodies 154111 of the two hooks 15411 is reduced. At the same time, the first connecting plate 1520 is controlled to move toward the first mounting plate 1412 so that the two buckles 1541 enter the first slot 1542, realizing the snap-fit ​​connection between the first connecting plate 1520 and the first mounting plate 1412. Finally, the position of the wire harness bracket 1500 relative to the first support beam 1410 and the second support beam 1420 is fixed.

[0037] In the washing machine assembly provided in this disclosure, the wiring harness bracket 1500 can be constructed in any suitable form, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on it. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes a body 1000 and a wire harness bracket 1500. The wire harness bracket 1500 can be fixed to the body 1000 and is provided with a wire harness restraint part 1511. The wire harness restraint part 1511 can form a wiring space and has an opening 15112. The opening 15112 can face the interior of the body 1000 and is used to allow the wire harness to enter the wiring space.

[0038] Through the above technical solution, in the washing machine provided in this disclosure, the wiring harness is fixed to the machine body 1000 by the wiring harness bracket 1500. The wiring harness bracket 1500 forms a wiring space, and the opening 15112 of the wiring space faces the interior of the machine body 1000. In this way, the wiring harness is run through the wiring space, and the wiring harness bracket 1500 can limit the position of the wiring harness and confine it within the machine body 1000, so as to facilitate connection with other electrical components inside the washing machine. At the same time, the wiring harness bracket 1500 can provide certain support for the wiring harness while meeting the wiring harness management requirements, so as to avoid the wiring harness being repeatedly bent, thereby improving the service life of the wiring harness. In addition, the wiring harness bracket 1500 can also limit the position of the wiring harness, so as to prevent the wiring harness from shifting due to machine vibration during the use of the washing machine, thereby improving the reliability of the wiring harness.

[0039] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 8 As shown, the washing machine may also include an electrical control box 6100, which is fixed to the machine body 1000. The opening 15112 may face the electrical control box 6100. The wire harness bracket 1500 limits the wire harness, that is, the wire harness is gathered at the wire harness bracket 1500. The electrical control box 6100 is usually connected to various electrical components in the washing machine through various wire harnesses. The arrangement of the opening 15112 facing the electrical control box 6100 facilitates the connection between multiple wire harnesses and the electrical control box 6100 when the wire harness is led from the electrical control box 6100 to the various electrical components or from the various electrical components to the electrical control box 6100.

[0040] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, the wiring harness bracket 1500 can be constructed in any suitable form, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on it. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 1 As shown, the wire harness bracket 1500 may include a bracket body 1510 and multiple partition plates 1560. The partition plates 1560 can be connected to the bracket body 1510 and arranged at an angle to the bracket body 1510. The partition plates 1560 are used to divide the wiring space into multiple mutually separated wiring channels 15111. In this way, during the assembly process of the washing machine, on the one hand, the arrangement of multiple wiring channels 15111 ensures that the wire harness is evenly distributed in the wiring space, further avoiding the situation of the wire harness tangling together. On the other hand, the wire harness can choose any suitable wiring channel 15111 to pass through depending on the different installation positions of the electrical components to be connected within the machine body 1000, which facilitates the arrangement of the wire harness within the machine body 1000.

[0041] The number of the partition plate 1560 and the number of the wiring channels 15111 divided by the partition plate 1560 can be set to any suitable number according to the number and size of the wire harness, so as to achieve reliable limiting of the wire harness. This disclosure does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0042] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, the wiring harness bracket 1500 can be fixed to the machine body 1000 in any suitable manner, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations in this regard. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wire harness bracket 1500 may further include a first connecting plate 1520 and a second connecting plate 1530. The first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530 may be connected to opposite sides of the bracket body 1510 and bent in the same direction from the end of the bracket body 1510. The first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530 may be connected to the body 1000. Furthermore, the first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530 may be used for wire harness routing with their respective partition plates 1560. In this way, through the arrangement of the first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530, the wire harness bracket 1500 can be fixed inside the body 1000. At the same time, the cooperation of the first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530 with the corresponding partition plates 1560 can further increase the number of wire harnesses that the wire harness bracket 1500 can accommodate.

[0043] The fact that the first connecting plate 1520 and the second connecting plate 1530 can be used for wiring harness routing with the corresponding partition plate 1560 means that the first connecting plate 1520 and its adjacent partition plate 1560 can also form the same function as the wiring channel 15111, that is, to limit the wiring harness, thereby improving the reliability of the wiring harness bracket 1500 in limiting the wiring harness.

[0044] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, the wiring harness bracket 1500 can further define the position of the wiring harness in any suitable manner, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations in this regard. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 1 As shown, the wire harness bracket 1500 may further include a first wire-holding plate 1571. One of the first connecting plate 1520 or the second connecting plate 1530 may be connected to the first wire-holding plate 1571. The first wire-holding plate 1571 may extend from the first connecting plate 1520 or the second connecting plate 1530 toward the partition plate 1560 to limit the wire harness. Thus, when a portion of the wire harness is arranged along the length of the first connecting plate 1520 between the first connecting plate 1520 and the adjacent partition plate 1560, or between the second connecting plate 1530 and the adjacent partition plate 1560, the first wire-holding plate 1571 can limit the position of the wire harness between the first connecting plate 1520 and the partition plate 1560, preventing the wire harness from coming out of position due to machine vibration or other reasons during long-term use, thereby improving the reliability of the wire harness bracket 1500 in limiting the wire harness.

[0045] Furthermore, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made toFigure 1 As shown, the wire harness bracket 1500 may further include a second wire-holding plate 1572. The partition plate 1560 may be connected to the second wire-holding plate 1572, and the second wire-holding plate 1572 may extend in the same direction as the first wire-holding plate 1571. In this way, when a portion of the wire harness is arranged along the length direction of the partition plate 1560 within the wire harness channel formed by any two adjacent partition plates 1560, the second wire-holding plate 1572 can limit the position of the wire harness within the wire harness channel. This also prevents the wire harness from coming out of the wire harness channel due to machine vibration or other reasons during long-term use, further improving the reliability of the wire harness bracket 1500 in limiting the wire harness position.

[0046] The orientation of the first wire-holding plate 1571 and the second wire-holding plate 1572 can be any suitable direction, and this disclosure does not impose specific restrictions on this. In this disclosure, the wire harness bracket 1500 is arranged against the side wall of the body 1000. The partition plate 1560 and the second connecting plate 1530 can both provide certain support for the wire harness. Therefore, the first wire-holding plate 1571 and the second wire-holding plate 1572 can be arranged downwards, that is, towards the first connecting plate 1520 and the partition plate 1560, to limit the position of the wire harness on the wire harness bracket 1500. If the first connecting plate 1520 and the partition plate 1560 are not provided, or if the first connecting plate 1520 and the partition plate 1560 cannot provide support for the wire harness, the first wire-holding plate 1571 and the second wire-holding plate 1572 can also be arranged upwards to provide certain support for the wire harness while limiting the position of the wire harness on the wire harness bracket 1500.

[0047] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, the first cable clamping plate 1571 and the second cable clamping plate 1572 can be constructed in any suitable form, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on them. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 1 As shown, the first wire clamping plate 1571 and / or the second wire clamping plate 1572 can be constructed as arc-shaped plates, with the arc opening 15711 of the arc-shaped plate facing the bracket body 1510. The arc-shaped plate provides a confining space with an arc-shaped cross-section for the wire harness. Since the wire harness itself has a near-circular cross-section, the arc-shaped confining space allows as many wire harnesses as possible to pass through within a limited space, improving the space utilization of the wire harness bracket 1500.

[0048] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1As shown, the bracket body 1510 may be provided with multiple openings 1512, which can penetrate the bracket body 1510, and the position of each opening 1512 corresponds to the first wire clamping plate 1571 or the second wire clamping plate 1572 respectively. This is because when the wire harness is limited by the first wire clamping plate 1571 and the second wire clamping plate 1572, the first wire clamping plate 1571 and the second wire clamping plate 1572 exert a certain amount of pressure on the wire harness. The design of the opening 1512 can provide a certain amount of clearance space for the wire harness, avoiding deformation or even damage due to excessive pressure from the first wire clamping plate 1571 and the second wire clamping plate 1572.

[0049] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 As shown, the bracket body 1510 may also be provided with multiple weight-reducing holes 1513, which may be spaced apart from each other. In this way, the weight of the wire harness bracket 1500 can be reduced without compromising its function of limiting the wire harness, which facilitates the installation of the wire harness bracket 1500 on the machine body 1000 and also reduces the weight of the washing machine itself.

[0050] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 As shown, the first connecting plate 1520 and / or the second connecting plate 1530 can form a limiting protrusion 1531, which protrudes towards the partition plate 1560. The limiting protrusion 1531 reduces the distance between the first connecting plate 1520, the second connecting plate 1530, and the partition plate 1560. By supporting the wire harness on the limiting protrusion 1531, the first wire clamping plate 1571 can effectively limit the wire harness, preventing it from detaching from the arc opening 15711 of the first wire clamping plate 1571, thus improving the reliability of the wire harness support 1500 in limiting the wire harness. Furthermore, the limiting protrusion 1531 can be arbitrarily designed according to the position and shape of the sheet metal parts of the casing or other components inside the washing machine, thereby improving the reliability of the wire harness limitation while also preventing interference with the installation of other components inside the washing machine, facilitating the assembly of the washing machine.
