[0022] The embodiments described in the following examples of this disclosure are not representative of all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0023] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the directional terms "front," "back," "up," "down," "left," and "right" as used herein are generally based on Figure 2 and Figure 7The XYZ coordinate system is defined as follows: specifically, the X direction represents the front-to-back direction, with the side indicated by the arrow being front and the other side being back; the Y direction represents the left-to-right direction, corresponding to the horizontal orientation of the washing machine; and the Z direction represents the up-to-down direction, with the side indicated by the arrow being up and the other side being down. Additionally, the up-to-down direction can also be referenced to the direction of gravity of the washing machine. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this disclosure are for distinguishing one element from another and do not have sequential or importance implications. Moreover, 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.

[0024] According to the first aspect of this disclosure, reference to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an installation structure for a water supply pipe is provided. The water supply pipe 11021 is used to communicate with the drum of a washing machine. The installation structure 11022 includes a main body 110221 and at least one elastic clamping plate 110231 connected to the main body 110221. The main body 110221 is used to clamp the water supply pipe 11021 with the clamping plate 110231.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, in the installation structure for water supply pipes provided in this disclosure, since the clamping plate 110231 is elastic, the clamping plate 110231 can provide an elastic force toward the water supply pipe 11021, so that the outer surface of the water supply pipe 11021 can press against the main body 110221 and the clamping plate 110231 respectively. That is, the clamping plate 110231 and the main body 110221 can jointly clamp the water supply pipe 11021 to prevent the water supply pipe 11021 from falling off. This can ensure the stability of the water supply pipe 11021 installed on the installation structure 11022. In other words, the installation structure for water supply pipes can improve the stability of the water supply pipe 11021.

[0026] In the installation structure for water supply pipes provided in this disclosure, the clamp 110231 can be constructed in any suitable manner. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clamping plate 110231 may have a connecting plate segment 110222 and a vertical plate segment 110223. The connecting plate segment 110222 may be connected to the main body 110221 and extend from bottom to top away from the main body 110221. The vertical plate segment 110223 may be spaced apart from the main body 110221. At least one of the connecting plate segment 110222 and the vertical plate segment 110223 may clamp the water supply pipe 11021 with the main body 110221. The connecting plate segment 110222 can connect the upright plate segment 110223 and the main body 110221. In other words, the setting of the connecting plate segment 110222 can facilitate the alternating arrangement of the upright plate segment 110223 and the main body 110221. This makes it easier to form a space for arranging the water supply pipe 11021 between the clamping plate 110231 and the main body 110221, so that the clamping plate 110231 and the main body 110221 can jointly clamp the water supply pipe 11021.

[0027] It should be noted that at least one of the connecting plate segment 110222 and the vertical plate segment 110223 can clamp the water supply pipe 11021 together with the main body 110221. This can be understood as follows: the connecting plate segment 110222 can be used alone to clamp the water supply pipe 11021 together with the main body 110221; or the vertical plate segment 110223 can be used alone to clamp the water supply pipe 11021 together with the main body 110221; or, they can be used together... The connecting plate segment 110222 and the upright plate segment 110223 are used to clamp the water supply pipe 11021 together with the main body 110221. At this time, since the connecting plate segment 110222 and the upright plate segment 110223 abut against the water supply pipe 11021, the contact area between the clamping plate 110231 and the water supply pipe 11021 can be increased. Therefore, it is beneficial for the clamping plate 110231 and the main body 110221 to stably clamp the water supply pipe 11021.

[0028] In the installation structure for a water supply pipe provided in this disclosure, in order to further prevent the water supply pipe 11021 from detaching from the installation structure 11022, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clamping plate 110231 may also have a stop plate segment 110224, which may be connected to the upright plate segment 110223 and spaced apart from the main body 110221. The stop plate segment 110224 may extend from bottom to top towards the main body 110221. As described above, the stop plate segment 110224 extends from bottom to top, gradually approaching the main body 110221, while the connecting plate segment 110222 extends from bottom to top, gradually moving away from the main body 110221. In other words, the connecting plate segment 110222, the upright plate segment 110223, and the stop plate segment 110224 can together form a C-shaped structure with an opening facing the main body 110221. This C-shaped structure and the main body 110221 together enclose an installation space for installing the water supply pipe 11021. Furthermore, the connecting plate segment 110222 and the stop plate segment 110224 can respectively stop the water supply pipe 11021 in the vertical direction, and the main body 110221 and the upright plate segment 110223 can respectively stop the water supply pipe 11021 in the front-back direction, so as to prevent the water supply pipe 11021 from leaving the aforementioned installation space.

[0029] Furthermore, the stop plate segment 110224 is spaced apart from the main body 110221, meaning that an entrance connecting the aforementioned installation space can be formed between the stop plate segment 110224 and the main body 110221 for the water supply pipe 11021 to enter the installation space. It should be noted that the width of this entrance in the front-rear direction can be smaller than the diameter of the water supply pipe 11021 to prevent the water supply pipe 11021 from exiting the installation space through this entrance.

[0030] In the installation structure for water supply pipes provided in this disclosure, to facilitate the installation of the water supply pipe 11021, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an arc-shaped stop flange 110225 can be connected to the stop plate segment 110224, and the stop flange 110225 can protrude toward the main body 110221. In this way, the distance between the stop flange 110225 and the main body 110221 gradually increases from bottom to top. At the same time, the stop flange 110225 is formed into an arc-shaped surface, which facilitates the entry of the water supply pipe 11021 into the aforementioned inlet.

[0031] In the installation structure for water supply pipes provided in this disclosure, the clamps 110231 can be selected in any suitable number. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the number of clamping plates 110231 can be at least two, and at least two clamping plates 110231 can be arranged at a lateral interval. In this way, it can be ensured that the water supply pipe 11021 clamped by the clamping plates 110231 is arranged laterally.

[0032] In the installation structure for water supply pipes provided in this disclosure, the main body 110221 can be installed in any suitable manner. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figure 2 ,as well as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the main body 110221 may be provided with one of a buckle 110227 and a slot 110217, and the crossbeam 1102 of the washing machine may be provided with the other of a buckle 110227 and a slot 110217. The buckle 110227 can engage with the slot 110217. In this way, the main body 110221 can be engaged and installed on the crossbeam 1102 of the washing machine through the buckle 110227 and the slot 110217. That is to say, the main body 110221 can be stably installed on the crossbeam 1102, so as to ensure the stability of the main body 110221, and thus ensure the stability of the water supply pipe 11021 installed on the mounting structure 11022.

[0033] In the installation structure for water supply pipes provided in this disclosure, the main body 110221 and the crossbeam 1102 can be connected in any suitable manner. As an exemplary embodiment, refer to... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the upper and lower sides of the main body 110221 can each be provided with a first flange 110226, and the upper and lower sides of the crossbeam 1102 can each be provided with a second flange 110212. One of the first flange 110226 and the second flange 110212 on the same side can be provided with a buckle 110227, and the other can be provided with a slot 110217. In this way, the upper and lower sides of the main body 110221 can be respectively snapped onto the crossbeam 1102, which is simple to install and does not require other tools. Furthermore, the main body 110221 and the crossbeam 1102 can be processed separately, which facilitates their assembly and disassembly.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, a buckle 110227 may be provided on the first flange 110226, and a slot 110217 may be provided on the second flange 110212. Multiple sets of buckles 110227 and slots 110217 may be arranged in pairs, and multiple slots 110217 may be arranged laterally at intervals on the second flange 110212. This ensures the stability of the installed main body 110221. In other embodiments, slots 110217 may also be provided on the first flange 110226, and buckles 110227 may also be provided on the second flange 110212. This disclosure does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0035] The slot 110217 may include a stop groove wall, and the buckle 110227 may be provided with a guide surface and a stop surface arranged opposite to each other. The guide surface is provided at the end of the buckle 110227 facing the crossbeam 1102 to guide the buckle 110227 into the slot 110217 through the second flange 110212. The stop surface is used to stop against the stop groove wall to prevent the buckle 110227 from coming out of the slot 110217 in the direction away from the crossbeam. As a specific embodiment, the buckle 110227 may be constructed as a triangular prism, and the guide surface may be constructed as an inclined surface forming an angle with the first flange 110226. In other embodiments, the buckle 110227 may also be arranged in any suitable manner, and this disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0036] In the installation structure for water supply pipes provided in this disclosure, in order to further improve the connection reliability between the main body 110221 and the crossbeam 1102, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,as well as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, one of the first flange 110226 and the second flange 110212 on the same side may be provided with a positioning post 110228, and the other may be provided with a positioning hole 110218, with the positioning post 110228 disposed in the positioning hole 110218. This allows the main body 110221 to be positioned using the positioning post 110228 and the positioning hole 110218. In a specific embodiment, the first flange 110226 may be provided with a positioning post 110228, and the second flange 110212 may be provided with a positioning hole 110218. Multiple sets of positioning posts 110228 and positioning holes 110218 may be arranged in pairs, and the multiple positioning holes 110218 may be arranged laterally at intervals on the second flange 110212, thus ensuring the stability of the installed main body 110221. In other embodiments, a positioning hole 110218 may also be provided on the first flange 110226, and a positioning post 110228 may also be provided on the second flange 110212. This disclosure does not impose any specific limitations on this.

[0037] In order to facilitate the installation of the positioning post 110228 and the positioning hole 110218, as an exemplary embodiment, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the second flange 110212 may be provided with a positioning hole 110218 and a notch 110213 communicating with the positioning hole 110218. The notch 110213 is used to guide the positioning post 110228 to be positioned in the positioning hole 110218. In this way, the positioning post 110228 can enter the positioning hole 110218 from one side of the notch 110213. The notch 110213 may be arranged at an angle to the extending direction of the second flange 110212 to prevent the installed positioning post 110228 from coming out of the positioning hole 110218 in the direction away from the crossbeam 1102. As a specific embodiment, there are two positioning holes 110218 and two notches 110213, and the distance between the two notches 110213 gradually decreases along the direction away from the crossbeam 1102, so as to ensure that the two positioning posts 110228 can be confined in the corresponding positioning holes 110218.

[0038] In the installation structure for water supply pipes provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the main body 110221 has a first plate 110232 and a second plate 110233 connected to each other. A reinforcing rib 110214 can be provided on the crossbeam 1102. The first plate 110232 is constructed as an arc-shaped plate and is used to fit snugly onto the reinforcing rib 110214. The second plate 110233 is used to clamp the water supply pipe 11021 with the clamping plate 110231. Both the first plate 110232 and the second plate 110233 have a first flange 110226. In this way, the first plate 110232 and the second plate 110233 can ensure that the main body 110221 is completely fitted to the crossbeam 1102, ensuring the stability of the installation structure 11022, and thus ensuring the stability of the water supply pipe 11021.

[0039] In the installation structure for water supply pipes provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 As shown, the first plate 110232 may have multiple first weight-reducing grooves 110229 spaced laterally. This reduces the weight of the first plate 110232, thereby achieving structural lightweighting.

[0040] In the installation structure for water supply pipes provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1As shown, two laterally spaced clamping plates 110231 can be connected to the main body 110221. A plurality of second weight-reducing grooves 110230, spaced laterally, can be formed on the second plate 110233, which can be positioned between the two clamping plates 110231. This reduces the weight of the second plate 110233, achieving structural lightweighting. Furthermore, since the second weight-reducing grooves 110230 are positioned between the two clamping plates 110231, the main body 110221 corresponding to the clamping plate 110231 does not have these grooves. This ensures the effective clamping of the water supply pipe 11021 by the main body 110221 and the clamping plates 110231.

[0041] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a washing machine is provided, which includes the above-described mounting structure for the water supply pipe.

[0042] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, reference Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the washing machine may further include a body 1000 and a crossbeam 1102 connected to the front of the body 1000. A wiring harness may be installed on the crossbeam 1102, and / or a water supply pipe 11021 communicating with the drum may be installed on the crossbeam 1102. Since the crossbeam 1102 is connected to the front of the body 1000, it is stably connected to the body 1000. Furthermore, the wiring harness and / or the water supply pipe 11021 are installed on the crossbeam 1102, thus ensuring a stable connection between the wiring harness and / or the water supply pipe 11021 to the body 1000, preventing the wiring harness and / or the water supply pipe 11021 from shaking due to drum vibration.

[0043] In addition, the crossbeam 1102 is installed on the front side of the washing machine body 1000. It can be understood that the left and right ends of the crossbeam 1102 are connected to the side panels 1300 on the left and right sides of the washing machine, respectively. In this way, the crossbeam 1102 can improve the overall stability of the body 1000.

[0044] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 2 , Figure 7 Figure 8As shown, the back side of the crossbeam 1102 can be provided with the aforementioned mounting structure for the water supply pipe, which can be detachably connected to the water supply pipe 11021. That is, the water supply pipe 11021 can be detachably mounted on the crossbeam 1102 through the mounting structure 11022. In this way, the water supply pipe 11021 can be installed after the crossbeam 1102 and the body 1000 are installed, which facilitates assembly. It should be noted that "the back side of the crossbeam" refers to the side of the crossbeam 1102 facing backward. Installing the water supply pipe 11021 on the back side of the crossbeam 1102 facilitates the connection of the water supply pipe 11021 to the drum located on the back side of the crossbeam 1102. In addition, since the front of the washing machine is usually equipped with a front panel, placing the water supply pipe 11021 on the back side of the crossbeam 1102 also facilitates the fit between the front panel and the crossbeam 1102, and avoids the front panel from being partially raised due to the water supply pipe 11021 being placed on the front side of the crossbeam 1102.

[0045] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a recess extending laterally can be provided on the crossbeam 1102, the recess protruding rearward to form a reinforcing rib 110214 on the back side of the crossbeam 1102. This strengthens the structural strength of the crossbeam 1102. The rearward protrusion of the recess means that it protrudes towards the interior space of the washing machine, thus preventing assembly interference between the recess and the front panel of the washing machine, and preventing localized bulging of the front panel due to the need to avoid the reinforcing rib 110214.

[0046] In the washing machine provided in this disclosure, as an exemplary embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the washing machine may include two drums, which may be respectively configured as a first drum 11031 and a second drum 11032. The diameter of the first drum 11031 may be larger than the diameter of the second drum 11032, and the second drum 11032 may be arranged at the upper right of the first drum 11031.
