Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laundry equipment, and more specifically, to a balancing ring assembly of a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] A washing machine is a washing machine that cleans items such as clothes and quilts with a detergent mixture. A balance ring is usually installed inside a pulsator washing machine. The balance ring is a ring-shaped plastic that encapsulates a solution inside.

[0003] At present, the balance ring is used in conjunction with the inner drum and rotating parts of the pulsator washing machine. The flow direction of the solution inside the balance ring is used to maintain the rotation stability of the inner drum of the washing machine and reduce the noise generated during the dehydration process of the washing machine. However, when there are more clothes to be washed, the effect of the balance ring will be reduced, and the inner drum of the washing machine will collide with the outer shell of the washing machine, thereby generating a lot of noise and affecting the user experience. The collision will also cause damage to the washing machine components, thereby shortening the service life of the washing machine.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the present application proposes a washing machine balance ring assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a washing machine balance ring assembly.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a balancing ring assembly for a washing machine, comprising an inner drum, a balancing ring body is arranged on the outer side of the inner drum, a balancing assembly for enhancing the balancing effect of the balancing ring body is arranged on the outer side of the balancing ring body, the balancing assembly comprises a clamping ring, a bearing frame is arranged on the outer side of the clamping ring, a plurality of telescopic springs are arranged on the outer side of the bearing frame, a mounting plate is arranged at one end of the telescopic spring, and clamping assemblies for quickly mounting the balancing assembly are symmetrically arranged inside the clamping ring and the mounting plate.

[0007] The balancing component can further enhance the effect of the balancing ring on balancing the washing machine, thereby improving the user experience; the snap-on component can be used to quickly install and disassemble the device, saving time and effort.

[0008] Preferably, a ball bearing is movably installed between the retaining ring and the bearing frame through a slide, and a plurality of telescopic rods are fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting plate. The number of the telescopic rods is the same as that of the telescopic springs, and the positions of the telescopic rods correspond to those of the telescopic springs, and each telescopic rod is located in the inner diameter of the telescopic spring. The ball bearing can reduce the rotational friction between the bearing frame and the retaining ring, so that they can better rotate together. The telescopic rod can keep the telescopic spring stable during extension and retraction, and the noise generated can be further reduced.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping component includes a movable slot, an extrusion rod is slidably installed inside the movable slot, a slider is slidably installed at the bottom of the movable slot, and a limiting spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the movable slot. One end of the slider is fixedly installed with a clamping block, and the resilience of the limiting spring can reset the clamping block, thereby realizing the locked state.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate is connected to the external washing machine housing through a clamping component. By detachably connecting the mounting plate to the washing machine housing, the stability of the balance component is ensured.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the limiting spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable slot, and the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the slider. The resilience of the limiting spring can reset the slider inside the movable slot.

[0012] Preferably, the clamping block extends to the outside of the movable slot, and the clamping block can extend to the clamping slots inside the balance ring body and the external washing machine housing. The clamping state is realized by the cooperation of the clamping block with the clamping slots inside the balance ring body and the external washing machine housing.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. In the utility model, the cooperation of the mounting plate and the clamping component can keep it stable with the washing machine housing. The telescopic elasticity of the telescopic spring can keep the bearing frame stable with the mounting plate, so that the clamping ring connected by the bearing frame is stable. Further, the swing amplitude of the inner cylinder during dehydration is minimized, so that the inner cylinder will not collide with the washing machine housing. On the one hand, it ensures that there will be no large amount of noise inside the washing machine due to collision, improving the user experience. On the other hand, it prevents the service life of the washing machine components from being reduced due to collision, thereby improving the economic value of the equipment.

[0015] 2. In the utility model, by pressing the clamping ring and the extrusion rod above the mounting plate, the extrusion rod slides inside the movable slot. The sliding extrusion rod will squeeze the slider downward, causing the slider to move horizontally at the bottom of the movable slot, thereby driving the clamping block to move horizontally and retract into the movable slot. At this time, when the extrusion rod is released while aligning with the clamping slots of the balance ring and the washing machine housing, the clamping block will enter the clamping slots inside the balance ring and the washing machine housing under the action of the resilience of the limiting spring, realizing the locked state, achieving the purpose of quick clamping. The operation is simple, no additional installation tools are required for installation, saving time and effort, and improving the installation efficiency of the user.

[0023] As Figures 1-5 shown, the present utility model provides a washing machine balance ring assembly, including an inner cylinder 1. A balance ring body 2 is arranged outside the inner cylinder 1. A balance assembly 3 for enhancing the balance effect of the balance ring body 2 is arranged outside the balance ring body 2. The balance assembly 3 includes a snap ring 301. A bearing bracket 302 is arranged outside the snap ring 301. A plurality of telescopic springs 304 are arranged outside the bearing bracket 302. One end of each telescopic spring 304 is provided with a mounting plate 305. The mounting plate 305 is connected to the external washing machine housing through a clamping assembly 4;

[0024] A ball 303 is movably installed between the snap ring 301 and the bearing bracket 302 through a slideway. A plurality of telescopic rods 306 are fixedly installed inside the mounting plate 305. The number and positions of the telescopic rods 306 are the same as those of the telescopic springs 304, and each telescopic rod 306 is located inside the inner diameter of the telescopic spring 304. One end of the limit spring 404 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the activity groove 401, and the other end is fixedly connected to one side of the slide block 403;

[0025] When the washing machine performs the dehydration process on a large amount of clothes or sheets and duvet covers, the inner drum 1 starts to rotate for dehydration. The cooperation between the mounting plate 305 and the clamping component 4 can keep it stable with the washing machine housing. The elastic force of the telescopic spring 304 can keep the bearing bracket 302 and the mounting plate 305 stable. Thus, the snap ring 301 rotatably connected to the bearing bracket 302 remains stable, further minimizing the amplitude of the swing of the inner drum 1 during dehydration, preventing the inner drum 1 from colliding with the washing machine housing. On the one hand, it ensures that there will be no excessive noise inside the washing machine due to collisions, improving the user experience. On the other hand, it prevents the service life of the washing machine components from being reduced due to collisions, thus increasing the economic value of the equipment;

[0026] Snap rings 301 and the inner parts of the mounting plates 305 are both symmetrically provided with clamping components 4 for quickly installing the balance components 3. The clamping component 4 includes an activity groove 401. A pressing rod 402 is slidably installed inside the activity groove 401. A slider 403 is slidably installed at the bottom of the activity groove 401. The lower end of the pressing rod 402 and the upper end of the slider 403 both have arcs, and their positions correspond to each other. A limiting spring 404 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the activity groove 401. One end of the slider 403 is fixedly installed with a clamping block 405. The clamping block 405 extends to the outside of the activity groove 401, and the clamping block 405 can extend into the clamping grooves inside the balance ring body 2 and the external washing machine housing;

[0027] When the balance ring inside the washing machine is damaged, resulting in the need to install and replace the balance ring, the staff presses the pressing rod 402 above the snap ring 301 and the mounting plate 305, causing the pressing rod 402 to slide inside the activity groove 401. The sliding pressing rod 402 will press down on the slider 403, causing the slider 403 to move horizontally at the bottom of the activity groove 401, thereby driving the clamping block 405 to move horizontally and retract into the activity groove 401. At this time, when the balance ring and the clamping grooves of the washing machine housing are aligned and the pressing rod 402 is released, the clamping block 405 will enter the clamping grooves inside the balance ring and the washing machine housing under the action of the resilience of the limiting spring 404, achieving the locked state, achieving the purpose of quick clamping. The operation is simple, no additional installation tools are required for installation, saving time and effort, and improving the installation efficiency of the user.
