Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of washing equipment, and particularly to a laundry treatment device. Background Art
[0002] Laundry treatment devices such as washing machines are cleaning appliances that use electrical energy to generate mechanical action to wash clothes.
[0003] Currently, a laundry treatment device includes a cabinet and a drum assembly. The drum assembly is disposed within the cabinet and can be suspended from the inner top wall of the cabinet. The drum assembly has a laundry washing cavity. When the laundry treatment device is operating, it can wash the clothes within the laundry washing cavity. The laundry treatment device further includes shock absorbers. The shock absorbers can also be supported on the surface of the drum assembly.
[0004] However, during the dehydration process of existing laundry treatment devices, the eccentricity increases. When the eccentricity increases, the vibration of the drum assembly will increase, and it may even hit the cabinet to generate noise and other problems. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of this application is to solve at least the above problems.
[0006] The purpose of this application is also to be able to change the installation angle of the shock absorbers.
[0007] The purpose of this application is also to be able to actively adjust the installation angle of the shock absorbers.
[0008] The purpose of this application is not limited to the above-mentioned purposes, and those skilled in the art can clearly understand other purposes not mentioned through the following description.
[0009] The laundry treatment device of this application for achieving the above purpose includes a cabinet.
[0010] The laundry treatment device includes a drum assembly. The drum assembly is disposed within the cabinet. The drum assembly has a laundry washing cavity.
[0011] The laundry treatment device includes a mounting device. The mounting device is disposed between the drum assembly and the inner bottom wall of the cabinet. The mounting device includes a first bracket, a second bracket, and a driving member. The first bracket is mounted on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet. The second bracket is disposed on the side of the first bracket facing the outer drum. The driving member is mounted on the second bracket and is configured to be able to drive the second bracket to move along the axial direction of the driving member. The axial direction of the driving member is parallel to the axis of the drum assembly, and / or, the axial direction of the driving member is disposed at an angle to the axis of the drum assembly.
[0012] The laundry treatment device includes shock absorbers. One end of the shock absorber is rotatably connected to the second bracket. The other end of the shock absorber is connected to the outer surface of the drum assembly.
[0013] In the embodiments of the present application, through the cooperation of the first bracket and the second bracket in the installation device, the shock absorber can be installed between the inner bottom wall of the housing and the cylinder assembly, so that the shock absorber can support on one side of the outer surface of the cylinder assembly facing the bottom of the housing. Through the arrangement of the driving member in the installation device, the second bracket can move axially along the driving member under the drive of the driving member.
[0014] Since one end of the shock absorber is rotatably connected to the second bracket, and the other end of the shock absorber is connected to the outer surface of the cylinder assembly, when the second bracket moves axially along the driving member, the end of the shock absorber installed on the second bracket will be driven to move axially along the driving member at the same time, and the installation angle of the shock absorber can be adjusted to improve the support of the shock absorber for the cylinder assembly in the vibration direction, so as to suppress the vibration of the cylinder assembly in the vibration direction, thereby reducing the risk of the cylinder assembly hitting the box body and avoiding problems such as generating noise.
[0015] In some embodiments, the driving member has a first end and a second end in the axial direction. The first end passes through the second bracket and is threadedly connected to the second bracket. The driving member is configured to be able to drive the second bracket to move axially along the driving member when rotating relative to the second bracket, so as to drive one end of the shock absorber to move at the same time, thereby adjusting the installation angle of the shock absorber.
[0016] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device further includes a driving device. The driving device is connected to the driving member, and the driving device is configured to be able to drive the driving member to rotate, so that the driving member can drive the second bracket to move axially along the driving member when rotating.
[0017] In some embodiments, the driving device includes a driving motor. The driving motor is installed on the first bracket or the inner bottom wall of the box body.
[0018] The driving device further includes a driving shaft. The driving shaft is installed on the driving motor. One end of the driving shaft away from the driving motor has a driving gear. Wherein, the second end of the driving member has a transmission gear, and the transmission gear meshes with the driving gear.
[0019] After the driving motor is started, it will drive the driving shaft to rotate and drive the driving gear to rotate at the same time. Since the transmission gear meshes with the driving gear, when the driving gear rotates, it will drive the transmission gear to rotate at the same time, thereby driving the driving shaft to rotate, so that when the driving shaft rotates, it can drive the second bracket to move axially along the driving shaft.
[0020] In some embodiments, the driving shaft is located on one side of the driving member in the axial direction, and both the driving gear and the transmission gear are bevel gears that mesh with each other, so that when the driving gear rotates, it can drive the transmission gear to rotate at the same time and ensure that the driving shaft rotates around its own central axis, so that the second bracket can move axially along the driving shaft.
[0021] In some embodiments, the first bracket is provided with a mounting portion having a through hole therein. The driving member passes through the through hole, and the driving member has a first limiting member and a second limiting member in the axial direction. The first limiting member and the second limiting member are located on opposite sides of the mounting portion with respect to the through hole.
[0022] The driving member can be restricted from moving in its own axial direction by the first limiting member and the second limiting member, so that the driving member can only rotate about its own central axis, in order to accurately control the movement of the second bracket in the axial direction of the driving member, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment of the installation angle of the shock absorber.
[0023] In some embodiments, the first limiting member is located on the side of the mounting portion away from the second bracket, and the second limiting member is located on the side of the mounting portion facing the second bracket. The first limiting member is a protruding rib on the driving member in the circumferential direction, and the second limiting member is a fastening member detachably mounted on the driving member to facilitate the passing of the driving member through the mounting portion.
[0024] In some embodiments, one side of the first bracket facing the outer cylinder has a guiding track, and the extending direction of the guiding track is parallel to the axial direction of the driving member. The second bracket has a guiding groove at a position corresponding to the guiding track, and the guiding track is installed in the guiding groove. The driving member is configured to be able to drive the second bracket to move along the guiding track, so as to restrict the moving direction of the second bracket through the guiding track to ensure that the driving member can move along the axial direction of the driving member.
[0025] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device includes at least two mounting devices symmetrically distributed between the drum assembly and the inner bottom wall of the cabinet. Each mounting device is provided with a shock absorber.
[0026] By providing at least two shock absorbers, the supporting effect of the shock absorbers on the drum assembly can be enhanced, so that the drum assembly can be more stably arranged in the cabinet.
[0027] In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device further includes a detecting member. The detecting member is arranged in the cabinet. The detecting member is configured to detect the displacement of the drum assembly in real time.
[0028] By providing the detecting member, the displacement of the drum assembly in the cabinet can be detected in real time, so as to perform precise closed-loop control on the movement termination timing of the second bracket to ensure that the adjustment range of the installation angle of the shock absorber can be increased as much as possible through the movement of the second bracket, so as to better suppress the vibration of the drum assembly while further reducing the risk of the drum assembly hitting the cabinet.

[0059] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0060] The embodiments of the present application provide a clothing treatment device, and the clothing treatment device may include washing machines, shoe washing machines, and other washing devices capable of cleaning clothes and items. For example, the washing machine may be a drum washing machine or a pulsator washing machine, etc.
[0061] Figure 1Schematically shows a structural schematic diagram of a laundry treatment device 100. Figure 1 The laundry treatment device 100 in Figure 1 is a drum washing machine. The following will further elaborate on the structure of the laundry treatment device 100 in conjunction with Figure 1 and taking the drum washing machine as an example.
[0062] See Figure 1 As shown, the laundry treatment device 100 may include a cabinet 20. The cabinet 20 has a laundry access opening.
[0063] The laundry treatment device 100 may include a drum assembly 30. The drum assembly 30 is disposed inside the cabinet 20. The drum assembly 30 may be suspended from the inner top wall of the cabinet 20. The drum assembly 30 has a laundry washing cavity. Laundry and the like can be placed in the laundry washing cavity so that when the laundry treatment device 100 is operating, the laundry in the laundry washing cavity can be washed.
[0064] See Figure 2 As shown, when the laundry treatment device 100 is disposed on a placement platform, along the height direction Z of the laundry treatment device 100, the side of the cabinet 20 adjacent to the placement platform can be regarded as the bottom of the cabinet 20, the side of the cabinet 20 away from the placement platform can be regarded as the top of the cabinet 20, and the two sides of the cabinet 20 along the width direction X of the laundry treatment device 100 can be regarded as the left side and the right side of the cabinet 20. The inner wall of the cabinet 20 at the position corresponding to the top of the cabinet 20 can be regarded as the inner top wall of the cabinet 20, and the inner wall of the cabinet 20 at the position corresponding to the bottom of the cabinet 20 can be regarded as the inner bottom wall of the cabinet 20.
[0065] It should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
[0066] See Figure 2 and in conjunction with Figure 1 As shown, the drum assembly 30 may include an outer drum 31. The outer drum 31 may be disposed inside the cabinet 20, and the drum opening of the outer drum 31 may face the laundry access opening. The outer drum 31 may be suspended from the inner top wall of the cabinet 20.
[0067] See Figure 2 As shown, the drum assembly 30 may further include an inner drum 32. The inner drum 32 is rotatably disposed inside the outer drum 31, and the drum opening of the inner drum 32 may also face the laundry access opening. The inner drum 32 has a laundry washing cavity. During the process of washing laundry, the inner drum 32 can rotate relative to the outer drum 31 to wash the laundry in the laundry washing cavity.
[0068] The laundry treatment device 100 may further include a door body. The door body is connected to the cabinet 20 to cover the laundry loading and unloading opening. For example, the door body may be disposed at the laundry loading and unloading opening and rotatably connected to the cabinet 20 so that the door body can cover the laundry loading and unloading opening and at the same time facilitate opening of the door body to facilitate the laundry to be put into the inner drum 32 through the laundry loading and unloading opening, and the laundry is cleaned by the laundry treatment device 100.
[0069] See Figure 2 As shown, the laundry treatment device 100 may further include a shock absorber 50. The shock absorber 50 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet 20. When the outer drum 31 is suspended on the inner top wall of the cabinet 20, the shock absorber 50 may further support the surface of the outer drum 31 so that the outer drum 31 can be better suspended in the cabinet 20 and enhance the stability of the installation of the drum assembly 30 in the cabinet 20.
[0070] In the related art, the shock absorber is installed on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet through a mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket is usually fixed and immovable, so the installation angle of the shock absorber is also fixed. When the installation angle of the shock absorber is fixed, it cannot adapt to the large eccentric dehydration program of the laundry treatment device. This will cause the vibration of the drum assembly 30 (outer drum 31) in the width direction X of the laundry treatment device 100 to increase when the eccentricity increases during the dehydration program of the laundry treatment device 100, and even problems such as noise may be generated due to excessive vibration hitting the cabinet 20.
[0071] It should be noted that during the dehydration program of the laundry treatment device 100, due to the uneven distribution of the laundry in the laundry washing cavity, the axis of the drum assembly 30 will not coincide with the center line of the laundry treatment device 100, resulting in unstable operation of the laundry treatment device 100 and eccentricity. Therefore, the eccentricity of the laundry treatment device 100 actually refers to the offset of the axis of the drum assembly 30 relative to the center line of the laundry treatment device 100.
[0072] As Figure 2 shown, the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 can be understood as the angle α between the axis of the shock absorber 50 and the height direction Z of the laundry treatment device 100.
[0073] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides an installation device 60. The shock absorber 50 is rotatably installed on the installation device 60. Through the arrangement of the installation device 60, the shock absorber 50 can be installed in the cabinet 20, and in addition, the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 can be adjusted. In this way, when the eccentricity increases during the laundry treatment process of the laundry treatment device 100, resulting in an increase in the vibration of the drum assembly 30 (outer drum 31) in the laundry treatment device 100, the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 can be dynamically adjusted through the installation device 60 to improve the support of the shock absorber 50 for the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction, so as to suppress the vibration of the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction, thereby reducing the risk of the drum assembly 30 hitting the cabinet 20 and avoiding problems such as noise generation.
[0074] It should be noted that the laundry treatment process may include the dehydration process mentioned above, or other processes that can cause the drum assembly 30 to vibrate when the laundry treatment device 100 is running.
[0075] Taking the laundry treatment process as the dehydration process as an example below, the structure of the installation device 60 and the adjustment of the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 will be further described in conjunction with the drawings.
[0076] See Figure 3 As shown, the laundry treatment device 100 may further include an installation device 60. The installation device 60 is disposed between the drum assembly 30 and the inner bottom wall of the cabinet 20. The installation device 60 may include a first bracket 61. Among them, the first bracket 61 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet 20. For example, the first bracket 61 can be fixed to the reinforced structure on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet 20 by means of fasteners, snap connections, etc., so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first bracket 61. The fasteners may include structural members such as screws and bolts. The reinforced structure of the inner bottom wall can be understood as the part of the cabinet 20 where the structure is strengthened on the inner bottom wall, and will not be further limited in this application.
[0077] In some embodiments, when not too much attention is paid to the convenience of disassembling and assembling the first bracket 61, the first bracket 61 can also be installed on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet 20 by means that are not easily disassembled, such as welding.
[0078] The installation device 60 may further include a second bracket 62. The second bracket 62 is disposed on the side of the first bracket 61 facing the outer drum 31. That is to say, the second bracket 62 is disposed on the top of the first bracket 61. At this time, the first bracket 61 can be regarded as the lower bracket, and the second bracket 62 can be regarded as the upper bracket.
[0079] See Figure 3 As shown, the installation device 60 may include a driving member 63. The driving member 63 is installed on the second bracket 62 and is configured to be able to drive the second bracket 62 to move axially along the driving member 63. The axial direction of the driving member 63 can refer to the W direction.
[0080] See Figure 3 and in combination with Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the axial direction of the driving member 63 may be parallel to the axis of the drum assembly 30. The axis of the drum assembly 30 is parallel to the depth direction Y of the laundry treating apparatus 100. That is to say, the axial direction of the driving member 63 is parallel to the depth direction Y of the laundry treating apparatus 100.
[0081] It should be noted that the depth direction Y, the width direction X, and the height direction Z of the laundry treating apparatus 100 are perpendicular to each other in pairs.
[0082] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the axial direction of the driving member 63 may also be arranged at an angle with the axis of the drum assembly 30. For example, the angle between the axial direction of the driving member 63 and the axis of the drum assembly 30 may be 90°. Or, in some embodiments, when the number of the mounting devices 60 is greater than two (such as three), the axial directions of the driving members 63 in some of the mounting devices 60 may be parallel to the axis of the drum assembly 30, and the axial directions of the driving members 63 in some of the mounting devices 60 may be arranged at an angle with the axis of the drum assembly 30. In the following, in combination with the shock absorber 50, the installation position of the mounting device 60 in the cabinet 20 will be further described.
[0083] See Figure 3 and in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the laundry treating apparatus 100 may further include a shock absorber 50. One end of the shock absorber 50 is rotatably connected to the second bracket 62 to realize the installation of the shock absorber 50 on the mounting device 60. In addition, the shock absorber 50 can be rotated relative to the second bracket 62 to adjust the installation angle of the shock absorber 50. And, the other end of the shock absorber 50 is connected to the outer surface of the drum assembly 30. The connection here means that the two are non-rotatable connections. That is to say, the other end of the shock absorber 50 is connected to the drum assembly 30, and the other end of the shock absorber 50 is relatively fixed to the drum assembly 30. In this way, while the shock absorber 50 is supported on the side of the outer surface of the drum assembly 30 facing the bottom of the housing, the shock absorber 50 and the drum assembly 30 do not move relative to each other. In some embodiments, the shock absorber 50 may be connected to the outer surface of the drum assembly 30 by means of clamping, fasteners, welding, etc.
[0084] Through the cooperation of the first bracket 61 and the second bracket 62, the shock absorber 50 can be installed between the inner bottom wall of the box body 20 and the cylinder assembly 30, so that the shock absorber 50 can support on one side of the outer surface of the cylinder assembly 30 facing the bottom of the housing. On this basis, through the setting of the driving member 63, the second bracket 62 can move axially along the driving member 63 under the drive of the driving member 63. Since the shock absorber 50 is rotatably installed on the second bracket 62, and one end of the shock absorber 50 away from the second bracket 62 is installed on the outer surface of the cylinder assembly 30 and is relatively fixed to the cylinder assembly 30, when the second bracket 62 moves axially along the driving member 63, it will drive the shock absorber 50 to move axially along the driving member 63 at the same time, and one end of the shock absorber 50 away from the second bracket 62 is relatively fixed to the cylinder assembly 30. Therefore, only the part of the shock absorber 50 installed on the second bracket 62 moves axially along the driving member 63, and the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 is changed after the movement. Thus, by moving the second bracket 62, the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 can be adjusted.
[0085] When the eccentricity of the laundry treating apparatus 100 increases during the laundry treating process, resulting in an increase in the vibration of the cylinder assembly 30 in the width direction X of the laundry treating apparatus 100, the driving member 63 can be used to drive the second bracket 62 to move, so as to adjust the installation angle of the shock absorber 50, thereby improving the support of the shock absorber 50 for the cylinder assembly 30 in the vibration direction, suppressing the vibration of the cylinder assembly 30 in the vibration direction, reducing the risk of the cylinder assembly 30 hitting the box body 20, and avoiding problems such as noise generation.
[0086] Taking the dehydration program as an example, when the eccentricity of the laundry treating apparatus 100 increases during the laundry treating process, it may cause an increase in the vibration of the cylinder assembly 30 in the width direction X or the height direction Z of the laundry treating apparatus 100. And the present application can control the moving direction of the second bracket 62 axially along the driving member 63 through the driving member 63, and can dynamically adjust the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 according to the vibration direction of the cylinder assembly 30, thereby reducing the risk of the cylinder assembly 30 hitting the box body 20 in different vibration directions and avoiding problems such as noise generation.
[0087] For example, still taking the dehydration program as an example, the laundry treating apparatus 100 has a low-speed operation stage and a high-speed operation stage during the laundry treating process. Among them, the low-speed operation stage is located at the initial stage of the laundry treating process. The speed ranges of the laundry treating apparatus 100 during the low-speed operation stage and the high-speed operation stage can refer to the relevant descriptions in the existing laundry treating apparatus 100, and are not particularly limited herein.
[0088] See Figure 4 and in combination with Figure 2As shown, when the eccentricity of the laundry treatment device 100 increases during the low-speed operation stage, the vibration of the drum assembly 30 usually increases in the width direction X of the laundry treatment device 100. At this time, the driving member 63 can control the second bracket 62 to move axially away from the drum assembly 30 along the axis of the driving member 63, so as to increase the installation angle of the shock absorber 50, improve the lateral support of the shock absorber 50 for the drum assembly 30, suppress the vibration of the drum assembly 30 in the width direction X of the laundry treatment device 100, and reduce the risk of the drum assembly 30 hitting the cabinet 20 in the width direction X of the laundry treatment device 100. After the second bracket 62 moves, the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 increases from α to α1.
[0089] See Figure 4 and in combination with Figure 2 As shown, when the eccentricity of the laundry treatment device 100 increases during the high-speed operation stage, the vibration of the drum assembly 30 usually increases in the height direction Z of the laundry treatment device 100. At this time, the driving member 63 can control the second bracket 62 to move axially towards the drum assembly 30 along the axis of the driving member 63, so as to reduce the installation angle of the shock absorber 50, improve the longitudinal support of the shock absorber 50 for the drum assembly 30, suppress the vibration of the drum assembly 30 in the height direction Z of the laundry treatment device 100, and reduce the risk of the drum assembly 30 hitting the cabinet 20 in the height direction Z of the laundry treatment device 100. After the second bracket 62 moves, the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 decreases from α to α2.
[0090] It should be noted that the lateral support of the shock absorber 50 for the drum assembly 30 can be understood as the support of the shock absorber 50 for the drum assembly 30 in the width direction X of the laundry treatment device 100. Correspondingly, the longitudinal support of the shock absorber 50 for the drum assembly 30 can be understood as the support of the shock absorber 50 for the drum assembly 30 in the height direction Z of the laundry treatment device 100.
[0091] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the laundry treatment device 100 may further include a detection member 40. The detection member 40 is disposed in the cabinet 20 and is configured to detect the displacement of the drum assembly 30 in real time. When the laundry treatment device 100 is in a non-operating state (shutdown state), the drum assembly 30 is in a stationary state, and the distance between the drum assembly 30 and the cabinet 20 is a known quantity. By providing the detection member 40, the displacement of the drum assembly 30 can be monitored in real time, so that when the drum assembly 30 vibrates, the amplitude of the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction can be determined according to the known quantity and the detection result of the detection member 40.
[0092] When the amplitude of the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction is greater than a preset safety value, the driving member 63 drives the second bracket 62 to move, thereby adjusting the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 to suppress the vibration of the drum assembly 30, and further reducing the risk of the drum assembly 30 hitting the box body 20. Wherein, the preset safety value is the maximum amplitude allowed for the drum assembly 30 when the drum assembly 30 vibrates in the box body 20 and does not hit the box body 20.
[0093] By adjusting the installation angle of the shock absorber 50, the vibration of the drum assembly 30 is reduced. If the amplitude of the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction is still greater than the preset safety value, the driving member 63 continues to drive the second bracket 62 to move, and continues to adjust the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 to further suppress the vibration of the drum assembly 30. Until the amplitude of the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction is less than or equal to the preset safety value of the drum assembly 30, the driving member 63 no longer drives the second bracket 62, and the second bracket 62 stops moving, ensuring that the drum assembly 30 does not hit the box body 20.
[0094] Therefore, through the setting of the detection member 40, it is helpful to accurately perform closed-loop control on the termination timing of the movement of the second bracket 62, so as to ensure that the adjustment range of the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 can be increased as much as possible by the movement of the second bracket 62, so as to better suppress the vibration of the drum assembly 30 while further reducing the risk of the drum assembly 30 hitting the box body 20.
[0095] It should be noted that when the amplitude of the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction is equal to the preset safety value, there is a safety distance between the drum assembly 30 and the box body 20. The safety distance refers to the minimum distance between the drum assembly 30 and the box body 20 when the drum assembly 30 does not hit the box body 20. For example, the safety distance can be taken between 3 mm and 6 mm.
[0096] For example, the detection member 40 can be a displacement sensor.
[0097] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in
[0098] Figure 1 In some embodiments, the laundry treatment device 100 may include at least two mounting devices 60. At least two mounting devices 60 may be symmetrically distributed between the drum assembly 30 and the inner bottom wall of the box body 20. A shock absorber 50 is provided on each mounting device 60. That is to say, the number of shock absorbers 50 is at least two. By providing at least two shock absorbers 50, the supporting effect of the shock absorber 50 on the drum assembly 30 can be enhanced, so that the drum assembly 30 can be more stably arranged in the box body 20.
[0099] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, two mounting devices 60 may be spaced apart along the depth direction Y of the laundry treating apparatus 100, so that one shock absorber 50 can be supported at the front end of the drum assembly 30, and the other shock absorber 50 can be supported at the rear end of the drum assembly 30. At this time, the two mounting devices 60 may be symmetrically arranged along the width direction X of the laundry treating apparatus 100, and the axial direction of the driving member 63 may be parallel to the axis of the drum assembly 30. The front end of the drum assembly 30 refers to the end of the drum assembly 30 facing the laundry loading / unloading opening, and the rear end of the drum assembly 30 refers to the end of the drum assembly 30 away from the laundry loading / unloading opening.
[0100] Refer to Figure 2 As shown, different from Figure 1 in some embodiments, the two mounting devices 60 may also be spaced apart along the width direction X of the laundry treating apparatus 100, so that one shock absorber 50 can be supported on one side of the drum assembly 30 adjacent to the left side of the housing, and the other shock absorber 50 can be supported on one side of the drum assembly 30 adjacent to the right side of the housing. At this time, the two mounting devices 60 may be symmetrically arranged along the depth direction Y of the laundry treating apparatus 100, and the included angle between the axial direction of the driving member 63 and the axis of the drum assembly 30 may be 90°. The shock absorber 50 adjacent to the left side of the housing may be referred to as the left shock absorber, and the shock absorber 50 adjacent to the right side of the housing may be referred to as the right shock absorber.
[0101] Figure 4 Only the second bracket 62 in the mounting device 60 is shown, and a schematic diagram of the movement of the second bracket 62 is shown. Figure 5 Similarly, only the second bracket 62 in the mounting device 60 is shown, and a schematic diagram of the movement of the second bracket 62 is shown.
[0102] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, regardless of how the two mounting devices 60 are arranged relative to the laundry treating apparatus 100, the moving directions of the second brackets 62 in the two mounting devices 60 are opposite, so that the mounting angles of the two shock absorbers 50 can be increased or decreased synchronously.
[0103] In some embodiments, the number of the mounting devices 60 may also be three, four, etc.
[0104] For example, when the number of the mounting devices 60 is three, two of the mounting devices 60 can be arranged at intervals along the width direction X of the laundry treating apparatus 100 at the front end of the drum assembly 30, and the remaining one mounting device 60 can be arranged along the depth direction Y of the laundry treating apparatus 100 at the rear end of the drum assembly 30. At this time, the axial direction of some of the driving members 63 can be parallel to the axis of the drum assembly 30, and the included angle between the axial direction of some of the driving members 63 and the axis of the drum assembly 30 can be 90°. The driving member 63 can control the moving direction of the corresponding second bracket 62 so that the mounting angles of the shock absorbers 50 can be increased or decreased synchronously. Alternatively, in some embodiments, two mounting devices 60 can also be arranged at intervals along the width direction X of the laundry treating apparatus 100 at the rear end of the drum assembly 30, and the remaining one mounting device 60 can be arranged along the depth direction Y of the laundry treating apparatus 100 at the front end of the drum assembly 30.
[0105] When the number of the mounting devices 60 is four, two of the mounting devices 60 can be arranged at intervals along the width direction X of the laundry treating apparatus 100 at the front end of the drum assembly 30, and the remaining two mounting devices 60 can be arranged at intervals along the width direction X of the laundry treating apparatus 100 at the rear end of the drum assembly 30.
[0106] The structure of the mounting device 60 will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0107] See Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving member 63 has a first end and a second end in the axial direction. Among them, the first end can pass through the second bracket 62 and be threadedly connected to the second bracket 62. The driving member 63 is configured to be able to drive the second bracket 62 to move along the axial direction of the driving member 63 when rotating relative to the second bracket 62, so as to drive one end of the shock absorber 50 to move simultaneously, thereby adjusting the mounting angle of the shock absorber 50. At this time, the driving member 63 and the second bracket 62 can form a lead screw. When the driving member 63 rotates, it can drive the second bracket 62 to rotate around the axis of the driving member 63 simultaneously. At the same time, since the driving member 63 is threadedly connected to the second bracket 62, when the second bracket 62 rotates around the axis of the driving member 63, it can also move along the axial direction of the driving member 63, so that the driving member 63 can drive the second bracket 62 to move along the axial direction of the driving member 63.
[0108] It should be noted that the first end of the driving member 63 can penetrate the second bracket 62, and a part of the first end of the driving member 63 can extend out of the second bracket 62, so that the second bracket 62 can move a longer distance along the axial direction of the driving member 63 under the drive of the driving member 63, increasing the adjustment range of the mounting angle of the driving member 63.
[0109] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the driving member 63 may not be threadedly connected to the second bracket 62 and can still drive the second bracket 62 to move axially along the driving member 63. For example, the driving member 63 may be a telescopic rod that can be automatically extended and retracted. By automatically extending and retracting the telescopic rod, the second bracket 62 can also be driven to move axially along the driving member 63, so that the second bracket 62 can move axially along the driving member 63 toward or away from the drum assembly 30 to reduce or increase the installation angle of the shock absorber 50. At this time, the telescopic direction of the telescopic rod can be regarded as the axial direction of the driving member 63.
[0110] In the following, taking the threaded connection between the driving member 63 and the second bracket 62 as an example, the structure of the mounting device 60 and the adjustment of the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 will be further elaborated.
[0111] See Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the laundry treating device 100 may further include a driving device 64. The driving device 64 is connected to the driving member 63 and is configured to be able to drive the driving member 63 to rotate so that the driving member 63 can drive the second bracket 62 to move axially along the driving member 63 when rotating.
[0112] It should be noted that by changing the rotation direction of the driving member 63 (such as making the driving member 63 rotate forward and backward), the moving direction of the second bracket 62 along the axial direction of the driving member 63 can be changed, so that the second bracket 62 can move axially along the driving member 63 toward or away from the drum assembly 30 to reduce or increase the installation angle of the shock absorber 50.
[0113] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving device 64 may include a driving motor 641. The driving motor 641 may be installed on the first bracket 61 to realize the installation of the driving motor 641 in the cabinet 20. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the driving motor 641 may be installed on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet 20, and the installation of the driving motor 641 in the cabinet 20 can also be realized.
[0114] The driving device 64 may further include a driving shaft 642. The driving shaft 642 is installed on the driving motor 641. One end of the driving shaft 642 away from the driving motor 641 may have a driving gear 6421. Among them, the second end has a transmission gear 631, and the transmission gear 631 meshes with the driving gear 6421. In this way, after the driving motor 641 is started, it drives the driving shaft 642 to rotate, and drives the driving gear 6421 to rotate simultaneously. Since the transmission gear 631 meshes with the driving gear 6421, when the driving gear 6421 rotates, it will drive the transmission gear 631 to rotate simultaneously, thereby driving the driving shaft 642 to rotate, so that when the driving shaft 642 rotates, it can drive the second bracket 62 to move axially along the driving shaft 642.
[0115] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving shaft 642 may be located on one side of the driving member 63 in the axial direction. Both the driving gear 6421 and the transmission gear 631 are tapered gears that mesh with each other, so that when the driving gear 6421 rotates, it can drive the transmission gear 631 to rotate simultaneously, and ensure that the driving shaft 642 rotates around its own central axis, so that the second bracket 62 can move axially along the driving shaft 642.
[0116] Alternatively, in some embodiments, on the basis of ensuring that the driving shaft 642 rotates around its own central axis, the driving gear 6421 and the transmission gear 631 may also be cylindrical gears that mesh with each other.
[0117] It should be noted that the driving member 63 mentioned above is a passive driving structure that rotates only when driven by the driving device 64. In some embodiments, the driving member 63 may also be a mechanism that can rotate actively, rather than a passive structure that rotates only when driven by the driving device 64. For example, the driving member 63 may be a rotating motor or the like.
[0118] See Figure 7 As shown, the first bracket 61 may be provided with a mounting portion 611, and the mounting portion 611 has a through hole. The driving member 63 may pass through the through hole. The driving member 63 can be supported on the first bracket 61 through the mounting portion 611, so as to facilitate the threaded connection between the driving member 63 and the second bracket 62.
[0119] See Figure 7 and in combination with Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the driving member 63 may axially have a first limiting member 632 and a second limiting member 633 provided thereon. The first limiting member 632 and the second limiting member 633 are located on opposite sides of the mounting portion 611 with respect to the through hole. When the driving member 63 is inserted into the through hole, the movement of the driving member 63 along its own axis can be restricted by the first limiting member 632 and the second limiting member 633, so that the driving member 63 can only rotate about its own central axis, in order to accurately control the movement of the second bracket 62 in the axial direction of the driving member 63, and further ensure the accuracy of the adjustment of the installation angle of the shock absorber 50.
[0120] The first limiting member 632 may be located on the side of the mounting portion 611 away from the second bracket 62. The second limiting member 633 may be located on the side of the mounting portion 611 facing the second bracket 62. The first limiting member 632 and the second limiting member 633 can be understood to be on opposite sides of the mounting portion 611, so as to restrict the movement of the driving member 63 along its own axis.
[0121] For example, the first limiting member 632 may be a raised rib on the driving member 63 in the circumferential direction, and the raised rib may be integrally formed on the circumferential direction of the driving member 63.
[0122] The second limiting member 633 may be a fastening member detachably mounted on the driving member 63, so that the second limiting member 633 can be disassembled and assembled, facilitating the insertion of the driving member 63 into the mounting portion 611. For example, the fastening member forming the second limiting member 633 may be a screw, a bolt, etc., so that the fastening member can be screwed into the driving member 63 to achieve the detachable mounting of the fastening member on the driving member 63.
[0123] See Figure 7 and in combination with Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting device 60 may further include a connecting shaft 65. The connecting shaft 65 may be inserted through one end of the second bracket 62 away from the first bracket 61. Among them, the shock absorber 50 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 65 and can rotate about the connecting shaft 65, so that through the arrangement of the connecting shaft 65, the shock absorber 50 can be rotatably mounted on the second bracket 62.
[0124] See Figure 7 and in combination with Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the first bracket 61 facing the outer cylinder 31 may have a guiding track 612. The extending direction of the guiding track 612 is parallel to the axial direction of the driving member 63. The second bracket 62 has a guiding groove 621 at a position corresponding to the guiding track 612, and the guiding track 612 is installed in the guiding groove 621. The driving member 63 is configured to be able to drive the second bracket 62 to move along the guiding track 612, so as to restrict the moving direction of the second bracket 62 through the guiding track 612 to ensure that the driving member 63 can move along the axial direction of the driving member 63.
[0125] In some embodiments, the number of guide rails 612 may be one, two, etc. Refer to Figure 7 As shown, along the axis of the vertical driving member 63, two guide rails 612 may be spaced apart on one side of the first bracket 61 facing the drum assembly 30. The driving member 63 may be disposed between the two guide rails 612. The second bracket 62 has a protruding portion 622, and the protruding portion 622 may be disposed between the two guide rails 612. The driving member 63 may pass through the protruding portion 622 and be threadedly connected to the protruding portion 622 to achieve the installation of the driving member 63 on the second bracket 62. At the same time, interference between the driving member 63 and the first bracket 61 can be avoided, and it is convenient for the driving member 63 to pass through the installation portion 611. In addition, the stability of the second bracket 62 during movement can be enhanced through the two conductive rails.
[0126] On this basis, the embodiment of the present application further provides a vibration control method for a laundry treatment device 100. The vibration control method is applied to the laundry treatment device 100 in any of the above embodiments. Through the vibration control method, the vibration of the drum assembly 30 in the laundry treatment device 100 during the laundry treatment process can be adjusted to suppress the vibration of the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction, thereby reducing the risk of the drum assembly 30 hitting the cabinet 20 due to increased eccentricity during the laundry treatment process and avoiding problems such as noise generation.
[0127] The following further elaborates on the vibration control method in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.
[0128] Refer to Figure 8 As shown, the vibration control method includes:
[0129] Step S100: Obtain the eccentricity of the laundry treatment device 100 during the laundry treatment process.
[0130] It should be noted that the eccentricity of the laundry treatment device 100 during the laundry treatment process refers to the degree of deviation of the axis of the drum assembly 30 relative to the center line of the laundry treatment device 100 during the laundry treatment process. The eccentricity can usually be expressed in units of grams (g). The specific detection method of the eccentricity is well known to those skilled in the art and can be determined according to the existing laundry treatment device 100, and will not be further elaborated in this application.
[0131] At the start of the laundry treatment process, the eccentricity detection program is started so that the laundry treatment device 100 can obtain the eccentricity of the laundry treatment device 100 during the laundry treatment process.
[0132] Refer to Figure 8 As shown, the vibration control method includes:
[0133] Step S200: Determine the magnitude of the eccentricity and a preset threshold;
[0134] Step S210: If the eccentricity is less than the preset threshold, control the laundry treating device 100 to continue executing the laundry treating program;
[0135] Step S220: If the eccentricity is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, control the driving member 63 in the laundry treating device 100 to drive the second bracket 62 to move axially along the driving member 63, and adjust the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 relative to the drum assembly 30 to suppress the vibration of the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction;
[0136] Wherein, the adjustment instruction includes the moving direction of the second bracket 62 axially along the driving member 63. The installation angle can refer to the relevant description above and will not be elaborated here.
[0137] Through step S200, the obtained eccentricity can be compared with the preset threshold to determine whether the obtained eccentricity is a large eccentricity or a small eccentricity. Among them, the preset threshold can be a value or a value range. In this embodiment, by way of example, the preset threshold can be 700 g. When the eccentricity is less than 700 g, it can be regarded as a small eccentricity. For example, when the eccentricity takes values between 200 g and 300 g, it can be regarded as a small eccentricity. When the eccentricity is greater than or equal to 700 g, it can be regarded as a large eccentricity. For example, when the eccentricity takes values between 700 g and 1000 g, it can be regarded as a large eccentricity.
[0138] The above values of the preset threshold and the eccentricity are only examples for the preset threshold, large eccentricity and small eccentricity, and do not constitute specific numerical limitations on the preset threshold, large eccentricity and small eccentricity.
[0139] It should be noted that when the laundry treating device has a large eccentricity during the laundry treating program, the vibration of the drum assembly 30 will be relatively large.
[0140] In step S210, if the eccentricity is less than the preset threshold, it can be determined that the eccentricity is a small eccentricity. When the laundry treating device 100 has a small eccentricity during the laundry treating program (such as the dehydration program), since the small eccentricity will not cause the drum assembly 30 to generate a large vibration, therefore, in step S210, the laundry treating device 100 can continue to execute the laundry treating program.
[0141] In step S220, if the eccentricity is greater than the preset threshold, it can be determined that the eccentricity is a large eccentricity. In this case, the drum assembly 30 is likely to generate large vibrations and impact the cabinet 20 during the laundry treatment process, resulting in problems such as noise. At this time, through step S220, the large vibrations occurring in the laundry treatment device 100 can be actively adjusted, enabling the driving member 63 to drive the second bracket 62 to move along the axial direction of the driving member 63 according to the adjustment instruction, adjusting the installation angle of the drum assembly 30, so as to improve the support of the shock absorber 50 for the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction, suppress the vibration of the drum assembly 30 in the vibration direction, thereby reducing the risk of the drum assembly 30 impacting the cabinet 20 and avoiding problems such as noise.
[0142] See Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, before controlling the driving member 63 in the laundry treatment device 100 to drive the second bracket 62 to move along the axial direction of the driving member 63 according to the adjustment instruction in step S220, the vibration control method further includes:
[0143] Step S221: Determine the moving direction of the second bracket 62 along the axial direction of the driving member 63 according to the vibration direction of the drum assembly 30, where the vibration direction includes the width direction or the height direction of the laundry treatment device 100;
[0144] Step S222: If the vibration direction is the width direction of the laundry treatment device 100, determine that the moving direction of the second bracket 62 along the axial direction of the driving member 63 is the direction away from the drum assembly 30;
[0145] Step S223: If the vibration direction is the height direction of the laundry treatment device 100, determine that the moving direction of the second bracket 62 along the axial direction of the driving member 63 is the direction close to the drum assembly 30.
[0146] It should be noted that taking the dehydration program as an example, as described above, when the eccentricity increases during the low-speed operation stage of the laundry treatment program of the laundry treatment device 100, the vibration of the drum assembly 30 usually increases in the width direction X of the laundry treatment device 100, and when the eccentricity increases during the high-speed operation stage of the laundry treatment program of the laundry treatment device 100, the vibration of the drum assembly 30 usually increases in the height direction Z of the laundry treatment device 100. Therefore, in step S221, it is possible to determine whether the vibration direction of the drum assembly 30 when there is a large eccentricity is in the width direction X or the height direction Z of the laundry treatment device 100 according to the operating speed of the laundry treatment device 100 in the laundry treatment program.
[0147] By determining the moving direction of the second bracket 62 in the axial direction of the driving member 63 in step S222, when the cylinder assembly 30 has a large vibration in the width direction X of the laundry treating apparatus 100 due to large eccentricity, the driving member 63 can control the second bracket 62 to move away from the cylinder assembly 30 in the axial direction of the driving member 63, so as to increase the installation angle of the shock absorber 50, suppress the vibration of the cylinder assembly 30 in the width direction X of the laundry treating apparatus 100, and reduce the risk of the cylinder assembly 30 hitting the cabinet 20 in the width direction X of the laundry treating apparatus 100.
[0148] By determining the moving direction of the second bracket 62 in the axial direction of the driving member 63 in step S223, when the cylinder assembly 30 has a large vibration in the height direction Z of the laundry treating apparatus 100 due to large eccentricity, the driving member 63 can control the second bracket 62 to move towards the cylinder assembly 30 in the axial direction of the driving member 63, so as to decrease the installation angle of the shock absorber 50, suppress the vibration of the cylinder assembly 30 in the height direction Z of the laundry treating apparatus 100, and reduce the risk of the cylinder assembly 30 hitting the cabinet 20 in the height direction Z of the laundry treating apparatus 100.
[0149] As described above, in some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus 100 may further include a detecting member 40. The function of the detecting member 40 can be referred to the relevant description above and will not be elaborated herein.
[0150] See Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, after step S220, the vibration control method may further include:
[0151] Step S230: Obtain the detection result of the detecting member 40;
[0152] Step S240: Determine the amplitude of the cylinder assembly 30 in the vibration direction according to the detection result of the detecting member 40;
[0153] Step S250: Compare the amplitude of the cylinder assembly 30 in the vibration direction with a preset safety value; the preset safety value is the maximum amplitude allowed for the cylinder assembly 30 when the cylinder assembly 30 vibrates in the cabinet 20 without hitting the cabinet 20.
[0154] Step S260: If the amplitude of the cylinder assembly 30 in the vibration direction is greater than the preset safety value, control the driving member 63 to drive the second bracket 62 to move according to the adjustment instruction until the amplitude of the cylinder assembly 30 in the vibration direction is less than or equal to the preset safety value, and then control the driving member 63 to drive the second bracket 62 to stop moving.
[0155] By providing the detecting member 40, the displacement of the cylinder assembly 30 can be monitored in real time. Through step S260, when the cylinder assembly 30 vibrates, the amplitude of the cylinder assembly 30 in the vibration direction can be compared with a preset safety value, and the moving state of the second bracket 62 can be controlled by the driving member 63, so as to precisely control the closing time of the movement of the second bracket 62 in a closed-loop manner, ensuring that the adjustment range of the installation angle of the shock absorber 50 can be increased as much as possible by the movement of the second bracket 62, so that while better suppressing the vibration of the cylinder assembly 30, the risk of the cylinder assembly 30 hitting the box body 20 can be further reduced.
[0156] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the laundry treating apparatus 100 can also determine the actual distance between the cylinder assembly 30 and the box body 20 when the cylinder assembly 30 vibrates according to the detection result of the detecting member 40 and the distance between the cylinder assembly 30 and the box body 20 when the laundry treating apparatus 100 is in a non-operating state (shutdown state), and compare the actual distance with the safety distance between the cylinder assembly 30 and the box body 20, and can also precisely control the closing time of the movement of the second bracket 62 in a closed-loop manner, further reducing the risk of the cylinder assembly 30 hitting the box body 20. On the basis of the above, the present application also provides a vibration control device for the laundry treating apparatus 100. The vibration control method is applied to the vibration control method of any of the above embodiments.
[0157] Taking the comparison between the amplitude of the cylinder assembly 30 in the vibration direction and the preset safety value as an example, the structure of the vibration control device will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0158] See Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the vibration control device may include an obtaining module 200. The obtaining module 200 is configured to obtain the eccentricity of the laundry treating apparatus 100 during the laundry treating process.
[0159] The vibration control device may further include a judging module 300. The judging module 300 is configured to judge the magnitude of the eccentricity and a preset threshold. The judging module 300 may also analyze the obtained eccentricity and the preset threshold to determine whether the obtained eccentricity is greater than the preset threshold or less than or equal to the preset threshold.
[0160] The vibration control device may further include a control module 400. The control module 400 is configured to control the laundry treating apparatus 100 to continue executing the laundry treating process when the eccentricity is less than the preset threshold.
[0161] The vibration control device may further include a control module 400. The control module 400 is configured to, when the eccentricity is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, control a driving member 63 within the laundry treating apparatus 100 to drive a second bracket 62 to move axially along the driving member 63, and adjust the mounting angle of the shock absorber 50 relative to the tub assembly 30, so as to suppress the vibration of the tub assembly 30, thereby reducing problems such as noise generated when the laundry treating apparatus 100 has a large eccentricity during a laundry treating process.
[0162] It should be noted that the control module 400 may be a data analysis and control module. The data analysis and control module may send the adjustment instruction to the mounting device 60, and control the driving member 63 to rotate or extend and retract, so as to drive the second bracket 62 to move axially along the driving member 63. At the same time, the data analysis and control module may also control the rotation or extension and retraction direction of the driving member 63, so as to control the moving direction of the second bracket 62 axially along the driving member 63, so as to increase or decrease the mounting angle of the shock absorber 50.
[0163] When the mounting device 60 includes a driving device 64, the data analysis and control module may send the adjustment instruction to a driving motor 641 of the driving device 64, so as to drive the driving member 63 to rotate by controlling the driving motor 641, and at the same time, control the rotation direction of the driving member 63.
[0164] See Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the control module 400 may further be configured to determine the vibration direction of the tub assembly 30, and determine the moving direction of the second bracket 62 axially along the driving member 63 according to the vibration direction.
[0165] When the laundry treating apparatus 100 includes a detecting member 40, the control module 400 may further be configured to obtain the detection result of the detecting member 40, and determine the amplitude of the tub assembly 30 in the vibration direction according to the detection result of the detecting member 40.
[0166] It should be noted that the detecting member 40 may transmit the detection result to the control module 400, so that the control module 400 can obtain the detection result of the detecting member 40. At the same time, when the laundry treating apparatus 100 is in a non-operating state (shutdown state), the distance between the tub assembly 30 and the cabinet 20 is a known quantity. The control module 400 may further determine the amplitude of the tub assembly 30 in the vibration direction after the mounting angle of the shock absorber 50 is adjusted according to the known quantity and the detection result of the detecting member 40, so as to control the driving member 63 to drive the second bracket 62 to move to suppress the vibration of the tub assembly 30 in the vibration direction after the amplitude of the tub assembly 30 in the vibration direction is greater than a safety distance.
