[0059] In summary, the inner drum tripod of a drum washing machine of the present embodiment reduces the manufacturing cost and can simultaneously meet the rigidity requirements of the entire tripod, thus having broad market value.
[0060] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, as an optional implementation of the present embodiment, the connecting sleeve 400 described in the present embodiment has a first shaft segment 401 and a second shaft segment 403, the outer diameter of the first shaft segment 401 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second shaft segment 403, and a mounting step 402 is formed at the intersection of the first shaft segment 401 and the second shaft segment 403; the support arm 200 has a horizontal arm segment 202 and a first vertical arm segment 203 and a second vertical arm segment 204 respectively connected to the two ends of the horizontal arm segment 202, one end of the horizontal arm segment 202 is arranged on the mounting step 402 and is welded and fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the first shaft segment 401, and one end of the first vertical arm segment 203 and one end of the second vertical arm segment 204 are respectively welded and fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the second shaft segment 403.
[0061] In the inner drum tripod of a drum washing machine of the present embodiment, a mounting step 402 is constructed on a connecting sleeve 400, so that when welding the support arm 200, pre-positioning is achieved by overlapping the horizontal arm section 202 of the support arm 200 on the mounting step 402, which facilitates subsequent welding operations and ensures the reliability of welding.
[0062] In addition, the support arm 200 of the present embodiment is fixed by welding to the outer peripheral wall of the first shaft segment 401 through the horizontal arm segment 202, and one end of the first vertical arm segment 203 and one end of the second vertical arm segment 204 are respectively fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the second shaft segment 403, so as to increase the stability and reliability of the welding connection between the support arm 200 and the connecting sleeve 400 as much as possible.

In this way, the support arm 200 of this embodiment is welded and fixed to the connecting sleeve 400, and the support arms 200 are also welded and fixed to each other, so that multiple support arms 200 and connecting sleeves 400 become a whole together, ensuring the overall rigidity of the inner drum tripod of the drum washing machine.

[0076] Fixture bottom plate 501;
[0077] A sleeve positioning shaft 504 is arranged at the center of the fixture bottom plate 501, and the connecting sleeve 400 is sleeved on the sleeve positioning shaft 504;

When the expansion and contraction member is in a contracted state, the connecting sleeve 400 is covered on the sleeve positioning shaft 504. The expansion and contraction member opens to make the connecting sleeve 400 no longer rotate relative to the sleeve positioning shaft 504. The support arm clamping assembly 502 is used to realize the clamping and positioning of each support arm and the connecting sleeve 400. After the support arm clamping assembly 502 is used to clamp and position, the support arm positioning assembly 503 is used to fix and position the support arm 200 and the connecting sleeve 400, so as to keep the relative position between the support arm 200 and the connecting sleeve 400 in a fixed state. Therefore, the fixture of this embodiment is used to realize the splicing positioning of the inner drum tripod of the drum washing machine before welding, ensuring that the connection position between the support arm 200 and the connecting sleeve 400 meets the requirements before the welding process is carried out.
