[0028] The surface of the threaded rod 209 is provided with an adjusting rod 203, and the adjusting rod 203 includes an external threaded barrel 2032, one end of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving plate 205, and the surface of the external threaded barrel 2032 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the foot ring 204 and the inside of the second hexagonal ring 218, and the threaded rod 209 is located in the inner cavity of the external threaded barrel 2032, and the surface of the external threaded barrel 2032 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded barrel 2031, and the surface of the internal threaded barrel 2031 The inner wall of the gasket 201 and the first hexagonal ring 202 are slidably connected. The cross section of one end of the internal threaded tube 2031 is trapezoidal. The surfaces of the external threaded tube 2032 and the internal threaded tube 2031 are provided with a slide groove 2033, and the slide groove 2033 on the external threaded tube 2032 penetrates the surface of the external threaded tube 2032. The inner wall of the gasket 201 is also fixedly connected with a connecting rod 210. The connecting rod 210 on the gasket 201 and the inner groove 2033 on the internal threaded tube 2031 are fixedly connected. The wall sliding connection, the surface of the connecting rod 210 on the foot ring 204 is slidably connected with the inner wall of the sliding groove 2033 on the external threaded tube 2032, so that through the setting of the connecting rod 210 and the sliding groove 2033, the gasket 201 and the foot ring 204 can be synchronously driven to rotate when the gasket 201 and the foot ring 204 are rotated, and at the same time, it does not affect the mutual sliding between the internal threaded tube 2031 and the external threaded tube 2032 and the gasket 201 and the foot ring 204, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the device. At the same time, through the setting of the external threaded tube 2032 and the internal threaded tube 2031, when the user rotates the gasket 201 or the foot ring 204 to adjust the distance between the gasket 201 and the foot ring 204, the internal threaded tube 2031 or the external threaded tube 2032 can be driven to rotate, thereby adjusting the overall length of the internal threaded tube 2031 and the external threaded tube 2032 accordingly, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the device.

[0029] Furthermore, the interior of the fixed rod 212 is slidably connected to a sliding rod 213, and one end of the sliding rod 213 close to the internal threaded tube 2031 contacts the surface of the internal threaded tube 2031, and the interior of the fixed rod 212 is fixedly connected to a second spring 215, and one end of the second spring 215 away from the interior of the fixed rod 212 contacts the surface of the sliding rod 213, and the inner wall of the gasket 201 is slidably connected to a sliding plate 217, and the surface of the sliding rod 213 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding plate 217, and a third spring 216 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding plate 217 away from the sliding rod 213, and one end of the third spring 216 away from the sliding plate 217 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gasket 201, and then the sliding rod 213 is reset by the arrangement of the third spring 216 and the second spring 215.

[0030] The surface of the slide bar 213 is provided with an extrusion groove 214 with a right-angled triangle cross-section. The bottom of the washing machine body 1 is fixedly connected with a connecting ring 3, and the connecting ring 3 can be inserted into the gasket 201. The fixed plate 211 can be inserted into the connecting ring 3. The surface of the movable plate 205 is fixedly connected with a first spring 208. The end of the first spring 208 away from the movable plate 205 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the foot ring 204 for resetting the movable plate 205. When the slide bar 213 is located at the end of the internal threaded cylinder 2031, the first spring 208 is in a stretched state. At this time, the ball 207 protrudes from the surface of the foot ring 204 and contacts the ground, so that the foot ring 204 no longer contacts the ground, so that the user can directly push the washing machine body 1 to move with the help of the rolling of the ball 207 on the ground, wherein the elastic force of the first spring 208 is much smaller than the elastic force of the second spring 215.

[0031] Furthermore, a limiting plate 206 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the foot ring 204, and the cross section of the movable disk 205 is convex, so that the moving distance of the movable disk 205 can be limited by setting the limiting plate 206 and the convex cross section of the movable disk 205.

[0032] Specifically, when in use, the threaded rod 209 is inserted into the threaded hole 4, and then the second hexagonal ring 218 is rotated with the help of a tool, thereby driving the threaded rod 209 to gradually screw into the threaded hole 4, and then the staff can rotate the first hexagonal ring 202, so that the first hexagonal ring 202 and the gasket 201 gradually fit with the bottom of the washing machine body 1, thereby supporting the bottom of the washing machine body 1, and at the same time, the threaded hole 4 enters the gasket 201, and then squeezes the inclined surface of the extrusion groove 214, thereby driving the sliding rod 213 to slide horizontally in the fixed rod 212, and then pushing the sliding plate 217, so that the sliding plate 217 is compressed, so that the end of the sliding rod 213 close to the internal threaded barrel 2031 continuously blocks the port of the internal threaded barrel 2031. The first spring 208 is used to stop the washer 201, thereby driving the movable plate 205 to retract into the foot ring 204 under the elastic force of the first spring 208, so that the ball 207 no longer protrudes from the surface of the foot ring 204, and at the same time, the external threaded tube 2032 and the internal threaded tube 2031 slide against the foot ring 204 and the washer 201 respectively, and then as the connecting ring 3 continues to slide in the washer 201, the connecting ring 3 pushes the sliding rod 213 to make the sliding rod 213 slide vertically in the fixed rod 212 and compress the second spring 215 until the washer 201 fits with the bottom of the washing machine body 1 to support the washing machine body 1. When the washing machine body 1 needs to be moved, the user lifts one corner of the washing machine body 1 and then rotates the first hexagonal ring 202 to move the washing machine body 1. The connecting ring 3 is separated from the gasket 201, so that the connecting ring 3 no longer pushes the sliding rod 213. At this time, under the elasticity of the third spring 216 and the second spring 215, the sliding rod 213 returns to its original state and squeezes the conical surface of the internal threaded tube 2031, thereby pushing the internal threaded tube 2031 and the external threaded tube 2032 to slide in the first hexagonal ring 202 and the pad ring 204 respectively, thereby driving the moving plate 205 to slide in the pad ring 204, so that the ball 207 protrudes from the surface of the pad ring 204 again, and stretches the first spring 208. At this time, because the sliding rod 213 blocks the port of the internal threaded tube 2031, the internal threaded tube 2031 cannot penetrate into the pad ring 201 again, so that the ball 207 is in contact with the ground. When in contact, the ball 207 will not be retracted into the foot ring 204 under the pressure of the ground, so the user can directly push the washing machine body 1 to move, thereby realizing the easy movement of the washing machine body 1. At the same time, when the gasket 201 is locked, the ball 207 can be retracted into the foot ring 204, and the ball 207 no longer contacts the ground, so that when the washing machine body 1 is in use, the stability of the washing machine body 1 when standing can be guaranteed, and the random movement of the washing machine body 1 can be avoided. At the same time, after the gasket 201 is relaxed, the ball 207 can protrude from the surface of the foot ring 204 again and can contact the ground, thereby directly pushing the washing machine body 1 to move, thereby facilitating the use of the washing machine body 1, and having high promotion value and practicality.

[0033] Working principle: When in use, insert the threaded rod 209 into the threaded hole 4, then use a tool to rotate the second hexagonal ring 218, thereby driving the threaded rod 209 to gradually screw into the threaded hole 4, and then the staff can rotate the first hexagonal ring 202, so that the first hexagonal ring 202 and the gasket 201 gradually fit with the bottom of the washing machine body 1, thereby supporting the bottom of the washing machine body 1, and at the same time, the threaded hole 4 enters the gasket 201, and then squeezes the inclined surface of the extrusion groove 214, thereby driving the sliding rod 213 to slide horizontally in the fixed rod 212, and then pushes the sliding plate 217, so that the sliding plate 217 is compressed, so that the sliding rod 213 is close to the internal thread One end of the cylinder 2031 continuously blocks the port of the internally threaded cylinder 2031, so that at this time, under the elastic force of the first spring 208, the movable plate 205 is driven to retract into the foot ring 204, so that the ball 207 no longer protrudes from the surface of the foot ring 204, and at the same time, the externally threaded cylinder 2032 and the internally threaded cylinder 2031 slide against the foot ring 204 and the gasket 201 respectively, and then as the connecting ring 3 continues to slide in the gasket 201, the connecting ring 3 pushes the sliding rod 213, so that the sliding rod 213 slides vertically in the fixed rod 212, and compresses the second spring 215 until the gasket 201 fits with the bottom of the washing machine body 1 to support the washing machine body 1.

[0034] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
