Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, and mainly relates to a laundry treatment device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the scientific and technological level and the pursuit of a better and more convenient life by users, washing machines have emerged as the times require, solving the laborious housework of washing clothes in people's daily life and liberating people's hands. Therefore, washing machines have entered thousands of households.

[0003] The hanger rod assembly is a key part of the shock absorption system of a washing machine. Currently, the most widely used one is the friction damping hanger rod. When the washing machine is running, the action of the outer barrel and the spring will cause the damping seat to move up and down along the hanger rod, thereby driving the damping block arranged in the damping seat to move up and down. Friction will be generated at the contact surface between the damping block and the hanger rod, and this frictional force is the damping force, which can be used to consume the vibration energy of the washing machine, and thus play a role in shock absorption.

[0004] Currently, the hanger rod assembly mainly adopts the configuration of multiple damping blocks. Problems such as wear, looseness or failure are likely to occur between the multiple damping blocks, which will lead to insufficient stability of the damping force in the shock absorption system of the washing machine and affect the shock absorption effect. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a laundry treatment device to solve the problem that the multiple damping blocks in the hanger rod assembly are prone to looseness and failure in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present application provides a laundry treatment device, including:

[0008] A housing, which is configured as the outer shell of the laundry treatment device. The housing includes a top shell and a side shell. The top shell is arranged on the top side of the laundry treatment device, and the side shell is arranged on the peripheral side of the laundry treatment device. The top shell is connected to the side shell;

[0009] A cylinder body, which is arranged in the housing and is used for washing clothes;

[0010] An angle plate, which is connected to the top of the side shell, and a hanging hole is arranged on the angle plate;

[0011] A hanger rod assembly, which includes an upper hanger rod seat, a rod body, a lower hanger rod seat, a damping seat housing, a damping block, a spring and an elastic buffer block;

[0012] Among them, the upper suspension rod seat is arranged at the upper end of the rod body, the rod body passes through the suspension hole, and at least part of the bottom surface of the upper suspension rod seat contacts the angle plate;

[0013] The damping seat housing is movably sleeved on the rod body, the damping seat housing is connected to the cylinder body, the lower suspension rod seat is arranged at the lower end of the rod body, the lower suspension rod seat is connected to the outer wall of the cylinder body, and the lower suspension rod seat is suspended;

[0014] A receiving cavity is formed in the damping seat housing, and the rod body passes through the receiving cavity;

[0015] The spring is movably sleeved on the rod body, and both ends of the spring are respectively abutted between the lower suspension rod seat and the damping seat housing;

[0016] The damping block is arranged in the receiving cavity, and the damping block is movably sleeved on the rod body; the number of the damping blocks is multiple, and the multiple damping blocks are sequentially sleeved on the rod body along the axial direction;

[0017] The elastic buffer block is arranged between any two adjacent damping blocks.

[0018] This application discloses a laundry treatment device, including a housing, an angle plate, a cylinder body, a suspension rod assembly and an elastic buffer block. Among them, the suspension rod assembly includes a rod body, a damping seat housing, a damping block and a spring. Both ends of the spring are respectively abutted between the lower end of the rod body and the damping seat housing. When the whole suspension rod assembly receives the vibration force transmitted by the cylinder body, a large amount of vibration energy can be absorbed and dispersed through the elastic deformation of the spring, thereby buffering the vibration generated by the cylinder body during the washing process. Among them, multiple damping blocks are sequentially sleeved on the rod body along the axial direction. The damping blocks can generate friction with the inner wall of the receiving cavity or other damping blocks when the cylinder body vibrates, so as to consume the vibration energy. Moreover, by arranging an elastic buffer block between two of the damping blocks, the elastic buffer block can utilize its elastic deformation ability to fill the gap between the upper damping seat and the lower damping seat. When the damping blocks do not fit tightly due to manufacturing errors, the elastic buffer block can be compressed to occupy these gaps, so that there is a damping force acting throughout the stroke range, improving the shock absorption performance between the adjacent damping blocks arranged, and making the washing machine more stable during operation.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, one or more protrusions are provided on the elastic buffer block. One or more of the protrusions are provided protruding from one end face of the elastic buffer block toward the adjacent damping block, and the protrusions can abut against the damping block. By providing the protrusions, the space between the elastic buffer block and the damping block can be increased, thereby increasing the deformable space of the elastic buffer block. The elasticity of the elastic buffer block enables the protrusions to undergo elastic deformation when abutting against the damping block, so as to better absorb and disperse vibration energy and further improve the shock absorption performance of the washing machine.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic buffer block is provided with a convex arc surface. The convex arc surface is provided protruding from one end face of the elastic buffer block toward the adjacent damping block, and the convex arc surface can abut against the damping block. By providing a convex arc surface on the elastic buffer block, the convex arc surface can closely abut against the adjacent damping block, which is conducive to reducing the situation where there is no damping force in part of the movement stroke of the suspension rod assembly due to the formation of gaps between multiple damping blocks.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of elastic buffer blocks are provided, and an elastic buffer block is provided between two adjacent damping blocks. By providing a plurality of elastic buffer blocks, the small gaps between the upper damping seat and the lower damping seat can be filled more effectively, reducing the accumulation of gaps caused by manufacturing errors or installation deviations, which is conducive to reducing the jumping and instability phenomena caused by the gaps and making the washing machine more stable during operation.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of pores are provided inside the elastic buffer block. The pores are used to accommodate lubricating grease, and the pores can communicate with the accommodating cavity to convey lubricating grease to the accommodating cavity. In this way, the lubricating grease in the pores can be gradually released and flow through the pores into the accommodating cavity communicating with the pores, so that the damping blocks in the accommodating cavity can be fully lubricated by the grease, which helps to reduce the wear and abnormal noise between the damping blocks.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic buffer block is annular, and a plurality of slot holes are recessed on the outer peripheral wall of the elastic buffer block. The slot holes communicate with the pores, and the slot holes are used to form a space for accommodating lubricating grease between the damping blocks on both sides. The communication between the slot holes and the internal pores further forms a conveying channel for lubricating grease, enabling the lubricating grease to flow from the internal pores to the external slot holes when needed, and then diffusing to the area in contact with the damping blocks, improving the lubrication efficiency.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic buffer block is made of sponge or flexible resin. The sponge or flexible resin enables the elastic buffer block to have good elastic deformation ability and can effectively absorb and disperse impact force.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the damping seat housing includes an upper damping seat and a lower damping seat connected to each other. The upper damping seat is disposed on a side close to the upper suspension rod seat, and the lower suspension rod seat is disposed on a side close to the lower end of the rod body. The upper damping seat is provided with a surrounding portion, and the lower end of the surrounding portion is inserted into the lower damping seat. The lower end of the surrounding portion abuts against the inner wall surface of the lower damping seat, so that the inner wall surface of the surrounding portion and the inner wall surface of the lower damping seat enclose a limiting groove, and the limiting groove communicates with the lower end region of the accommodating cavity. A plurality of the damping blocks are installed in the limiting groove. In this way, when the lower end of the surrounding portion is inserted into the lower damping seat, its lower end abuts against the inner wall surface of the lower damping seat, thereby further enhancing the connection strength between the upper damping seat and the lower damping seat, and also making the cooperation between the two more seamless. Moreover, the inner wall surface of the surrounding portion and the inner wall surface of the lower damping seat jointly enclose a limiting groove, and the limiting groove can effectively limit the position of the damping block and prevent it from shifting or falling off during the working process.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the surrounding portion is annular, and a pointed end portion is provided at an end of the surrounding portion facing the lower damping seat. The pointed end portion is used to extend into the lower damping seat as the upper damping seat extends, so as to form an interference fit between the surrounding portion and the lower damping seat. In this way, during the process of the pointed end portion extending into the cavity of the lower damping seat, certain extrusion deformation occurs, so that a certain interference amount is generated on the mating surface between the surrounding portion and the lower damping seat, that is, there is close contact without a gap between the pointed end portion and the inner wall surface of the lower damping seat, and thus a fastening connection assembly structure is achieved, which is not easy to shift or fall off.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, an inclined surface is provided on the inner wall surface of the pointed end portion, and the inclined surface is inclined from top to bottom in a direction away from the axis of the surrounding portion, so that the diameter of the surrounding portion decreases from top to bottom. In this way, as the upper damping seat further extends into the lower damping seat, the pointed end portion and the inner wall of the lower damping seat gradually slide and generate a certain extrusion effect, which is beneficial to forming a more tight interference fit between the surrounding portion and the lower damping seat. On the other hand, the inclined surface provided on the pointed end portion is also beneficial to the assembly of the upper damping seat into the lower damping seat, reducing the installation difficulty.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, a boss is further included. The boss is disposed within the lower damping seat, located at the bottom of the accommodating cavity. The boss protrudes towards the side where the upper damping seat is located and is positioned below the damping block. The top surface of the boss forms a supporting surface, and the supporting surface can abut against the adjacent damping block. In this way, when the damping block is subjected to vibration or impact from the rod body or other components, the force can be first transmitted to the boss through the supporting surface, and then the boss disperses the force to the entire lower damping seat and upper damping seat. This can not only reduce the stress concentration phenomenon on the damping block, but also improve the bearing capacity and stability of the damping seat housing of the entire damping seat assembly.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the damping block is annular, the damping block is provided with a perforation, the rod body is inserted through the perforation, and the damping block is provided with a slit extending from the inner edge of the perforation towards the outer edge of the damping block. By providing the slit, the damping block can deform more easily when subjected to vibration, thereby more effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy. In addition, the slit can also serve as a channel for lubricating grease, helping to form a lubricating film between the damping block and the rod body, reducing friction and wear, enabling the damping block to effectively absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the rod body, reducing the noise and vibration levels of the washing machine, and improving the use comfort and durability.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, the damping block is annular, and a groove is recessed on the outer surface of the damping block, so as to form a gap between the outer surface of the damping block and the inner wall surface of the limiting groove. By providing the slit, the damping block can deform more easily when subjected to vibration, thereby more effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy. In addition, the slit can also serve as a channel for lubricating grease, helping to form a lubricating film between the damping block and the rod body, reducing friction and wear, enabling the damping block to effectively absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the rod body, reducing the noise and vibration levels of the washing machine, and improving the use comfort and durability.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the damping block is annular, and the damping block is provided with a rib protruding from the outer surface of the damping block. The rib can abut against the inner wall surface of the limiting groove, so as to form a gap between the outer surface of the damping block and the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity. By providing a rib on the outer surface of the damping block, a gap is formed between the outer surface of the damping block and the inner wall surface of the limiting groove. Among them, the existence of the gap allows the damping block to have more space for deformation when subjected to vibration, thereby more effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy.

[0060] The clothes processing device of the embodiment of the present utility model refers to a device for processing clothes. This application takes a washing machine as an example to explain in detail the technical solution for improving the clothes processing device of the embodiment of the present utility model.

[0061] It should be noted that the washing machine provided in the present application may be a drum washing machine.

[0062] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the shell 1 can be the integral external structure of the washing machine. The shell 1 is a hollow structure, in which other component structures of the washing machine may be arranged, such as a circuit structure, an air duct structure, a driving mechanism and a drainage structure.

[0063] In some embodiments, the housing 1 may be in the shape of a hollow cuboid or a hollow cylinder, but is not limited to the above shapes. The front side of the housing 1 may be provided with a loading port 101 for loading clothes.

[0064] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of .

[0065] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 1 may include a top case 11. The top case 11 may be disposed on the top side of the laundry treating device, and the top case 11 may constitute a top supporting portion of the laundry treating device.

[0066] In some embodiments, the housing 1 may include a side housing 12. The side housing 12 may be disposed on the peripheral side of the clothing processing device, and the top housing 11 may be connected to the side housing 12. By dividing the housing 1 into two parts, the top housing 11 and the side housing 12, the combination of the top housing 11 and the side housing 12 not only provides necessary support, but also makes the device more stable during operation, reduces shaking or noise caused by vibration or external force, and enhances the overall structural stability of the clothing processing device.

[0067] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, the washing machine may include a door body (not shown in the figure) disposed on the front side of the housing 1. The door body may be used to close the feeding port 101. The door body may be hinged to the front side of the housing 1.

[0070] Figure 3 For Figure 1 the schematic diagram of the suspension rod assembly in Figure 4 For Figure 2 the sectional view of Figure 5 For Figure 4 the partial enlarged view at A of Figure 6 For Figure 5 the partial enlarged view at B of

[0071] Please refer to the attached Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown. In some embodiments, the washing machine may include a suspension rod assembly 4.

[0072] Among them, when the washing machine is working, especially during the washing and dehydration stages, the internal drum and clothes will generate relatively large vibrations. If these vibrations are directly transmitted to the housing and the bottom of the washing machine, it will not only generate noise but also may cause damage to the structure of the washing machine, and even affect the stability and service life of the machine. The suspension rod assembly 4 may be disposed inside the housing and can be used to achieve the shock absorption function of the washing machine during operation.

[0073] In some embodiments, the suspension rod assembly 4 may be a part of the shock absorption system in the washing machine. The suspension rod assembly 4 can be used to reduce the vibrations and noise generated when the washing tub rotates at a high speed. In the washing machine, the upper end of the suspension rod assembly 4 may be connected to the inner side wall of the housing, and the lower end of the suspension rod assembly 4 may be connected to the outer peripheral wall of the drum.

[0074] Please refer to the attached Figure 2, in some embodiments, the washing machine may include gussets 2. Between the upper end of the suspension rod assembly 4 and the top of the side shell 12 of the housing, there may be gussets 2. To avoid instability problems in the connection structure between the suspension rod assembly 4 and the inner sidewall of the housing, by providing gussets 2 on the inner sidewall of the housing, and connecting the suspension rod assembly 4 with the gussets 2, the connection stability between the suspension rod assembly 4 and the cabinet can be enhanced.

[0075] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the gusset 2 may be connected to the top of the side shell 12. The gusset 2 may be provided with a suspension hole 202. The suspension hole 202 may provide a connection point for the fixation between the suspension rod assembly 4 and the gusset 2. The suspension rod assembly 4 may be partially inserted into the suspension hole 202 to form a stable connection relationship with the gusset 2.

[0076] In some embodiments, there may be multiple groups of suspension rod assemblies 4. The multiple groups of suspension rod assemblies 4 may be arranged at intervals around the circumference of the cylinder body so that the cylinder body can be stably arranged in the housing.

[0077] The cylinder body 3 has a laundry receiving cavity. When the washing machine performs the cleaning work, the laundry to be cleaned is received in the laundry receiving cavity and rotates with the rotation of the cylinder body. The laundry is cleaned by the operation of the washing machine. The shock absorption system including multiple groups of suspension rod assemblies 4 will control the vibration of the cylinder body, thereby enabling the cylinder body to vibrate regularly and avoiding hitting the housing, generating abnormal noises and shifting during operation.

[0078] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the suspension rod assembly 4 may include a rod body 41. The upper end of the rod body 41 may be connected to the top of the side shell 12 through the gusset 2, so that the whole of the rod body is arranged on the top of the side shell 12. The lower end of the rod body 41 is suspended. The lower end of the rod body 41 is used as a free end, which can enable the whole of the rod body 41 to move synchronously during the vibration of the cylinder body.

[0079] In some embodiments, the suspension rod assembly may include an upper suspension rod seat 48. The upper suspension rod seat 48 may be arranged at the upper end of the rod body 41. To further improve the connection stability between the rod body 41 and the gusset 2, by providing the upper suspension rod seat 48 at the upper end of the rod body 41, the upper suspension rod seat 48 may be partially inserted into the suspension hole 202, thereby improving the connection stability between the upper suspension rod seat 48 and the gusset 2, and also avoiding the rod body 41 from directly rubbing against the sidewall of the suspension hole 202 and being damaged.

[0080] In some embodiments, the suspension rod assembly may include a lower suspension rod seat 48. The lower suspension rod seat 48 may be suspended on the rod body. The lower suspension rod seat 48 is used as a free end so that the whole of the suspension rod assembly can vibrate with the cylinder body.

[0081] As Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the suspension rod assembly 4 may include a damping seat housing 42. The damping seat housing 42 is movably sleeved on the rod body 41. The damping seat housing 42 may be connected to the cylinder body. Since the vibration of the housing will be driven during the movement of the washing machine, in order to reduce the vibration problem of the housing, by connecting the damping seat housing 42 to the cylinder body 3, and connecting the upper end of the suspension rod assembly to the top of the side shell 12 through the angle plate 2, and the lower end of the suspension rod assembly is suspended, the whole of the suspension rod assembly 4 can move along with the cylinder body. During the movement, the suspension rod assembly can reduce the vibration energy transmitted from the cylinder body to the housing.

[0082] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, an accommodation cavity 401 may be provided in the damping seat housing 42. The rod body 41 may pass through the accommodation cavity 401, so that the damping seat housing 42 can move up and down flexibly along the rod body 41.

[0083] In some embodiments, a spring 44 is movably sleeved on the rod body 41. Two ends of the spring 44 respectively abut between the lower suspension rod seat and the damping seat housing 42. Since the cylinder body will inevitably shake during the operation of the washing machine, in order to reduce the shaking of the cylinder body, by providing the spring 44 on the rod body, the damping seat housing 42 can move up and down along the rod body 41. The elastic deformation of the spring 44 can absorb and disperse a large amount of vibration energy, thereby significantly reducing the noise and impact caused by vibration.

[0084] Figure 7 For Figure 2 the three-dimensional schematic diagram of the damping seat housing in Figure 8 For Figure 7 the explosion schematic diagram in Figure 9 For Figure 7 the explosion schematic diagram under another view in

[0085] Please refer to the attached Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments, the damping seat housing 42 includes a connected upper damping seat 421 and a lower damping seat 422.

[0086] As Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the upper damping seat 421 is disposed on one side close to the upper end of the rod body 41, and the lower damping seat 422 is disposed on one side close to the lower end of the rod body 41. An accommodation cavity 401 is formed by enclosing between the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422. Since the damping block needs to be installed in the damping seat housing 42, in order to reduce the assembly difficulty, by separately arranging the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422, the accommodation cavity 401 formed by enclosing the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422 can be used to install the damping block 43, store lubricating grease, and provide buffering for the vibration of the cylinder body, which facilitates the installation of the operator. Specifically, the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422 can serve as the installation base of the damping block 43. At the same time, the accommodation cavity 401 can also serve as the storage area of the lubricating grease to provide necessary lubrication for the damping block 43 and other moving parts.

[0087] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the suspension rod assembly 4 may include a damping block 43. The damping block 43 is disposed in the accommodation cavity 401, and the damping block 43 is movably sleeved on the rod body 41. During the operation of the washing machine, the cylinder body shakes accordingly. In order to achieve the shock absorption effect of the suspension rod assembly 4, the damping block 43 is installed in the accommodation cavity 401 formed by enclosing the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422.

[0088] Specifically, when the cylinder body generates vibration during the washing process, the damping block 43 located in the accommodation cavity 401 can move up and down along the axial direction of the rod body with the damping seat housing 42. During this process, the damping block 43 can be mutually extruded and deformed between the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422 which are oppositely arranged up and down, so as to effectively convert the vibration energy into other forms of energy and dissipate it, playing a role in absorbing and dissipating the vibration energy of the washing machine.

[0089] In some embodiments, the number of the damping blocks 43 is multiple, and the multiple damping blocks 43 are sequentially sleeved on the rod body 41 along the axial direction. In order to further improve the shock absorption effect and avoid the problem that the single setting of the damping block 43 is prone to wear and cause the durability to decline, a multi-stage shock absorption structure can be formed by arranging the multiple damping blocks 43 along the axial direction. When the cylinder body generates vibration, after being impacted by the multiple damping blocks 43, the multiple damping blocks 43 can move up and down along the axial direction of the rod body with the damping seat housing 42, and are mutually extruded and deformed between the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422, so as to absorb and dissipate the vibration energy stage by stage, which is more effective than the setting of a single damping block 43, and can more comprehensively cover vibrations of different frequencies and amplitudes, improving the overall shock absorption effect of the washing machine.

[0090] It should be noted that since multiple damping blocks 43 share the vibration load, the stress borne by each damping block 43 is relatively small. This is conducive to extending the service life of the damping block 43 and reducing fatigue damage and failure caused by long-term stress.

[0091] As Figure 5 shown, in some embodiments, the suspension rod assembly 4 may include an elastic buffer block 45. The elastic buffer block 45 can be disposed between two of the damping blocks 43, and the elastic buffer block 45 can undergo elastic deformation to improve the shock absorption performance between the adjacent damping blocks 43.

[0092] It should be noted that during the processing of the conventional damping seat and the installation of the suspension rod assembly 4, there may be gaps in the damping seat due to manufacturing errors. Among them, the gap in the damping seat may become more obvious when the number of damping blocks 43 increases because it accumulates the small deviations in the installation positions of each damping block 43, which will result in no damping force acting on part of the stroke within the gap range, and may thus cause the whole machine to jump and become unstable.

[0093] In the suspension rod assembly 4 of the present application, by providing an elastic buffer block 45 between two of the damping blocks 43, the elastic buffer block 45 can utilize its elastic deformation ability to fill the gap between the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422. When the damping blocks 43 do not fit tightly due to manufacturing errors, the elastic buffer block 45 can be compressed to occupy these gaps, so that there is damping force acting throughout the entire stroke range. In this way, the elastic buffer block 45 and the damping blocks 43 can jointly form a shock absorption structure, and the setting of the elastic buffer block 45 can reduce the phenomenon of the damping blocks 43 jumping and becoming unstable caused by the gap, making the washing machine operate more smoothly during the operation process.

[0094] On the other hand, the elastic buffer block 45 can also provide an additional shock absorption effect during the vibration process. When the washing machine tub vibrates, the vibration wave can be transmitted through the damping blocks 43 and the elastic buffer blocks 45 disposed between the damping blocks 43. Among them, the elastic buffer block 45 can effectively absorb and dissipate part of the vibration energy, further reducing the vibration transmitted to other parts of the washing machine.

[0095] In some embodiments, multiple elastic buffer blocks 45 can be provided. To further avoid the problem that the gaps caused by the stacked arrangement of multiple damping blocks affect the shock absorption effect, the setting of multiple elastic buffer blocks 45 can more effectively fill the tiny gaps between the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422, reduce the accumulation of gaps caused by manufacturing errors or installation deviations, and thus is conducive to reducing the jumping and unstable phenomena caused by the gaps, making the washing machine operate more smoothly during the operation process.

[0096] As Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, an elastic buffer block 45 may be provided between any two adjacent damping blocks 43. Among them, the elastic buffer block 45 provided between adjacent damping blocks 43 is conducive to improving the continuity of the damping force of the suspension rod assembly 4. During vibration, the damping block 43 and the elastic buffer block 45 will work together to form a continuous shock-absorbing structure, which is further conducive to reducing the transmission of the vibration energy of the overall washing machine, thereby further improving the shock-absorbing effect. Moreover, since each damping block 43 is protected and supported by the adjacent elastic buffer block 45, the stress and impact borne by them can be further dispersed, which is conducive to extending the service life of the damping block 43 and the entire suspension rod assembly 4, and improving the durability and reliability of the washing machine.

[0097] Figure 10 is Figure 2 a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the elastic buffer block of the first embodiment in Figure 11 is Figure 2 another three-dimensional schematic diagram of the elastic buffer block of the first embodiment in Figure 12 is Figure 2 a schematic diagram of the elastic buffer block of the second embodiment in Figure 13 is Figure 2 a schematic diagram of the elastic buffer block of the third embodiment in Figure 14 is Figure 2 a schematic diagram of the elastic buffer block of the fourth embodiment in

[0098] As Figure 10 shown, in some embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 is annular. A through hole 410 is formed in the inner circle of the elastic buffer block 45, and the rod body 41 can pass through the through hole 410.

[0099] In some embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 may be provided between the damping block 43 and the damping seat.

[0100] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 may be provided at the upper and lower ends of the stacked damping blocks 43.

[0101] As Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 may be provided with a protrusion 46. The protrusion 46 may protrude from one end face of the elastic buffer block 45 towards the adjacent damping block 43, and the protrusion 46 can abut against the damping block 43. Since the elastic buffer block 45 is disposed between two damping blocks 43, it may cause insufficient elastic deformation space of the elastic buffer block 45, thereby affecting the shock absorption performance of the resonance system formed between the elastic buffer block 45 and the damping block 43. The protrusion 46 can be provided on the elastic buffer block 45. The setting of the protrusion 46 can increase the space between the elastic buffer block 45 and the damping block 43, thereby increasing the deformable space of the elastic buffer block 45. The elasticity of the elastic buffer block 45 enables the protrusion 46 to elastically deform when abutting against the damping block 43, so as to better absorb and disperse vibration energy, and further improve the shock absorption performance of the washing machine.

[0102] As Figure 11 shown, in some embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 may be provided with a plurality of protrusions 46. The plurality of protrusions 46 are distributed on the surface of the elastic buffer block 45. To avoid the small contact area between the protrusion 46 and the damping block 43 from affecting the interaction force during vibration, a plurality of protrusions 46 are provided on the elastic buffer block 45. In this way, the plurality of protrusions 46 can contact the damping block 43 simultaneously during vibration, so as to more effectively absorb and dissipate vibration energy, thereby enhancing the shock absorption effect of the suspension rod assembly 4. Moreover, the plurality of protrusions 46 can effectively disperse the impact of vibration energy on the elastic buffer block 45, reduce the wear and damage of the elastic buffer block 45 at a single part, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the elastic buffer block 45 and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0103] In some embodiments, the plurality of protrusions 46 may be distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the through hole 410.

[0104] As Figure 12 shown, in some embodiments, the protrusions 46 may be distributed on two opposite end faces of the elastic buffer block 45. In this way, the protrusions 46 can abut against the two damping blocks 43 adjacent to the elastic buffer block 45.

[0105] In some embodiments, the protrusion 46 and the elastic buffer block 45 may be integrally formed. Among them, the integrally formed design can simplify the manufacturing process flow and reduce the production cost. Specifically, during the manufacturing process, the buffer block and the protrusion 46 can be formed at one time through processes such as injection molding and die casting, without secondary processing or assembly.

[0106] In some embodiments, the protrusion 46 may adopt various shapes. For example, the protrusion 46 may be circular, square, conical, etc.

[0107] As Figure 13As shown, in some embodiments, the protrusion 46 can be arranged as an annular protrusion 46 disposed around the annular through-hole 410 of the elastic buffer block 45.

[0108] In some embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 can be provided with a convex surface. The convex surface protrudes from one end surface of the elastic buffer block 45 towards the adjacent damping block 43, and the convex surface can abut against the damping block 43.

[0109] As Figure 13 shown, in some embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 can be provided with a convex arc surface 402. The convex arc surface 402 protrudes from one end surface of the elastic buffer block 45 towards the adjacent damping block 43 and the protrusion 46, and the convex arc surface 402 can abut against the damping block 43. In order to avoid the small contact area between the protrusion 46 and the damping block 43 from affecting the interaction force during vibration, by providing the convex arc surface 402 on the elastic buffer block 45, in this way, when the cylinder vibrates during the washing process, the convex arc surface 402 can closely abut against the adjacent damping block 43, which is beneficial to reducing the situation that there is no damping force in part of the movement stroke of the hanger assembly 4 due to the formation of gaps between multiple damping blocks 43. On the other hand, the convex arc surface 402 can first contact the damping block 43, and disperse the impact force and vibration energy to a larger area through its arc-shaped structure. The elastic deformation of the convex arc surface 402 can more effectively absorb and dissipate the vibration energy, thereby improving the damping effect between multiple damping blocks 43.

[0110] In some embodiments, convex arc surfaces 402 can be respectively provided on two opposite end surfaces of the elastic buffer block 45.

[0111] In some embodiments, pores (not shown in the figure) can be provided inside the elastic buffer block 45. The pores can be used to accommodate lubricating grease. The pores can communicate with the accommodating cavity 401 to convey lubricating grease to the accommodating cavity 401.

[0112] It should be noted that in the case of using multiple damping blocks 43 stacked in the hanger assembly 4, the damping block 43 in the middle may have the problem that the lubricating grease cannot enter. By configuring the inside of the elastic buffer block 45 to have a pore structure, in this way, as the washing machine operates, especially when the elastic buffer block 45 is under pressure or undergoes relative movement, the lubricating grease in the pores can gradually be released and flow into the accommodating cavity 401 communicated with the pores through the pores, so that the damping blocks 43 in the accommodating cavity 401 can be fully lubricated by the grease. This automatic lubrication design helps to reduce the wear between the damping blocks 43. On the other hand, the pores are used to accommodate lubricating grease, which can further reduce the noise and vibration generated by the direct contact between the damping blocks 43 and the damping seats, improving the user experience.

[0113] In some embodiments, a plurality of pores may be provided inside the elastic buffer block 45 .

[0114] like Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 may be annular. The outer peripheral wall of the elastic buffer block 45 may be recessed to form a plurality of slots 403, which may be connected to the pores, and the slots 403 are used to form a space for accommodating lubricating grease between the damping blocks 43 on both sides.

[0115] In order to reduce the problem that the grease in the elastic buffer block 45 cannot be fully lubricated with the damping block 43, a plurality of slots 403 are formed by recessing the outer peripheral wall of the elastic buffer block 45. The slots 403 are connected with the internal pores to form a conveying channel for the lubricating grease, so that the lubricating grease can flow from the internal pores to the external slots 403 when needed, and then diffuse to the area in contact with the damping block 43, thereby improving the lubrication efficiency. Moreover, the slots 403 can also directly form a space for accommodating the lubricating grease between the damping blocks 43 on both sides. During the operation of the washing machine, the lubricating grease in the elastic buffer block 45 can be continuously squeezed, released and distributed in this space, which is equivalent to forming a dynamic lubricating film, thereby reducing the wear between the damping block 43 and the elastic buffer block 45, and between multiple damping blocks 43.

[0116] In some embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 can be made of sponge. The sponge has good elastic properties, so that the elastic buffer block 45 can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force. Moreover, the sponge can deform when impacted, thereby absorbing and storing the impact energy. When the impact force disappears, the sponge can quickly return to its original shape, so that the elastic buffer block 45 can still maintain a good buffering effect under multiple impacts. Furthermore, the use cost of the sponge is relatively low, and it has a high cost-effectiveness in the mass production of washing machines.

[0117] In some other embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 can be made of flexible resin. Similarly, the flexible resin has good elastic properties and can be deformed when impacted, thereby absorbing and storing impact energy. When the impact force disappears, the flexible resin can quickly return to its original shape, which can not only effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, but also maintain a good buffering effect under multiple impacts.

[0118] In some embodiments, the elastic buffer block 45 in any of the above embodiments can be used in the same suspension rod assembly 4.

[0119] In some embodiments, the various elastic buffer blocks 45 mentioned above can be used in combination in the same suspension rod assembly 4 .

[0120] like Figure 6And Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the upper damping seat 421 may be provided with a retaining portion 423. The lower end of the retaining portion 423 may be inserted into the lower damping seat 422, and the lower end of the retaining portion 423 may abut against the inner wall surface of the lower damping seat 422, so that the inner wall surface of the retaining portion 423 and the inner wall surface of the lower damping seat 422 enclose a limiting groove 404. The limiting groove 404 communicates with the lower end region of the accommodating cavity 401, and a plurality of damping blocks 43 are disposed in the limiting groove 404.

[0121] Since the washing machine generates large vibrations during operation, in order to prevent the damping blocks 43 from shifting along the rod body or the distance between the plurality of damping blocks 43 increasing due to vibrations, resulting in a decrease in the damping effect, the retaining portion 423 is provided on the upper damping seat 421. Specifically, during the installation process, when the lower end of the retaining portion 423 is inserted into the lower damping seat 422, its lower end abuts against the inner wall surface of the lower damping seat 422, thereby further enhancing the connection strength between the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422 and making the cooperation between the two more intimate. Moreover, the inner wall surface of the retaining portion 423 and the inner wall surface of the lower damping seat 422 jointly enclose the limiting groove 404, and the limiting groove 404 can effectively limit the position of the damping blocks 43 and prevent them from shifting or falling off during operation.

[0122] In some embodiments, the shape and size of the limiting groove 404 can also be customized according to the shape and size of the damping blocks 43 to ensure the best fitting effect.

[0123] As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the retaining portion 423 may be annular. Configuring the retaining portion 423 to be annular can better adapt to the annular damping blocks 43.

[0124] As Figure 6 And Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the end of the retaining portion 423 facing the lower damping seat 422 may be provided with a pointed end portion 424. The pointed end portion 424 can be used to make the retaining portion 423 and the lower damping seat 422 form an interference fit as the upper damping seat 421 extends into the lower damping seat 422.

[0125] In order to further reduce the assembly difficulty between the upper damping seat 421 and the lower damping seat 422, a pointed end portion 424 is provided at the end of the enclosure portion 423 facing the lower damping seat 422. During the process of the pointed end portion 424 extending into the cavity of the lower damping seat 422, certain extrusion deformation occurs, so that a certain interference amount is generated between the enclosure portion 423 and the lower damping seat 422 on the mating surface, that is, there is close contact without clearance between the pointed end portion 424 and the inner wall surface of the lower damping seat 422, thereby achieving a fastening connection assembly structure, which is not easy to shift or fall off, and further providing a more stable and reliable shock absorption and support structure for the washing machine. The setting of the pointed end portion 424 not only improves the connection strength, but also further reduces the clearance of the damping block 43 installed in the damping seat, which is beneficial to improving the shock absorption effect of the damping block 43.

[0126] As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, an inclined surface 405 may be provided on the inner wall surface of the pointed end portion 424. The inclined surface 405 may be inclined from top to bottom in a direction away from the axis of the enclosure portion 423, so that the diameter of the enclosure portion 423 decreases from top to bottom.

[0127] Since a certain interference amount is generated between the pointed end portion 424 and the lower damping seat 422 on the mating surface, resulting in more laborious assembly. In order to improve the assembly convenience and reduce the assembly difficulty, the setting of the inclined surface 405 can make the diameter of the enclosure portion 423 gradually decrease from top to bottom. As the upper damping seat 421 further extends into the lower damping seat 422, the pointed end portion 424 and the inner wall of the lower damping seat 422 gradually slide and generate a certain extrusion effect, which is beneficial to forming a closer interference fit between the enclosure portion 423 and the lower damping seat 422. On the other hand, the setting of the inclined surface 405 of the pointed end portion 424 is also beneficial to the assembly of the upper damping seat 421 into the lower damping seat 422, reducing the installation difficulty.

[0128] In some other embodiments, the inclined surface 405 may be provided on the outer wall surface of the pointed end portion 424. In this way, as the upper damping seat 421 further extends, the inclined surface 405 will gradually slide along the inner wall of the lower damping seat 422 and generate a certain extrusion effect. In addition, it can also make the enclosure portion 423 have a certain guiding property during the extension process.

[0129] As Figure 9 shown, in some embodiments, the lower damping seat 422 may include a boss 425. The boss 425 may be provided inside the lower damping seat 422. The boss 425 is located at the bottom of the accommodation cavity 401. The boss 425 protrudes toward the side where the upper damping seat 421 is located and is located below the damping block 43.

[0130] Since the damping block 43 is prone to cause problems such as wear to the damping seat housing during the overall vibration process of the rod body, a boss 425 is provided on the lower damping seat 422. Among them, the provision of the boss 425 can directly provide a supporting effect on the damping block 43 accommodated in the limiting groove 404, which can not only prevent the damping block 43 from shifting or deforming due to uneven force during operation, but also press the damping block 43 tightly in the limiting groove 404.

[0131] As Figure 9 shown, in some embodiments, the top surface of the boss 425 can form a supporting surface 406. The supporting surface 406 can abut against the adjacent damping block 43. Since stress concentration is likely to occur between the damping block 43 and the boss 425 during the overall vibration process of the rod body with the damping block 43, the supporting surface 406 is formed on the top surface of the boss 425. In this way, when the damping block 43 is subjected to vibration or impact from the rod body 41 or other components, the force can be first transmitted to the boss 425 through the supporting surface 406, and then the boss 425 disperses the force to the entire lower damping seat 422 and the upper damping seat 421, which can not only reduce the stress concentration phenomenon suffered by the damping block 43, but also improve the bearing capacity and stability of the entire damping seat housing 42.

[0132] In some embodiments, the supporting surface 406 can be a plane, which can further increase the contact area between the damping block 43 and the supporting surface 406.

[0133] Figure 15 For Figure 2 the schematic diagram of the damping block of the first embodiment in Figure 16 For Figure 2 the schematic diagram of the damping block of the second embodiment in Figure 17 For Figure 2 the schematic diagram of the damping block of the third embodiment in Figure 18 For Figure 2 the schematic diagram of the damping block of the fourth embodiment in

[0134] As Figure 15 shown, in some embodiments, the damping block 43 can be annular.

[0135] As Figures 16 to 18As shown, in some embodiments, the damping block 43 may be provided with a perforation 407. The rod body 41 may pass through the perforation 407, and the damping block 43 may be provided with a slit 408 extending from the inner edge of the perforation 407 towards the outer edge of the damping block 43. Since the damping block 43 will move and be squeezed and deformed when receiving the vibration force transmitted by the washing machine tub, and the space of the damping block 43 in the damping seat housing 42 is limited, it will affect the elastic deformation of the damping block 43. By providing the damping block 43 with a slit 408 extending from the inner edge of the perforation 407 towards the outer edge of the damping block 43, the existence of the slit 408 enables the damping block 43 to deform more easily when receiving vibration, thereby more effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy. In addition, the slit 408 can also serve as a channel for lubricating grease, helping to form a lubricating film between the damping block 43 and the rod body 41, reducing friction and wear, enabling the damping block 43 to effectively absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the rod body 41, reducing the noise and vibration level of the washing machine, and improving the use comfort and durability.

[0136] As Figure 16 shown, in some other embodiments, the damping block 43 may be provided with a slit 408 extending from the outer edge of the perforation 407 towards the perforation 407 of the damping block 43.

[0137] As Figure 17 shown, in some embodiments, the outer surface of the damping block 43 may be recessed to form a groove 409, so as to form a gap between the outer surface of the damping block 43 and the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 404.

[0138] Since the damping block 43 will move and be squeezed and deformed when receiving the vibration force transmitted by the washing machine tub, and the space of the damping block 43 in the damping seat housing 42 is limited, it will affect the elastic deformation of the damping block 43. By recessing the outer surface of the damping block 43 to form a groove 409, the design of the groove 409 makes the outer surface of the damping block 43 no longer completely fit the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 404, but forms a thin gap between the two. This gap plays a role of buffering and energy absorption when the damping block 43 is vibrated, helping to further reduce the degree of vibration transmitted to other parts of the device.

[0139] Specifically, by providing the groove 409 on the outer surface of the damping block 43, a gap is formed between the outer surface of the damping block 43 and the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 404, enabling the damping block 43 to undergo more complex deformation when vibrated, which is beneficial to enhancing the damping performance of the damping block 43 and improving the shock absorption performance of the damping block 43.

[0140] As Figure 17 shown, in some embodiments, the number of the grooves 409 may be greater than or equal to two.

[0141] In some embodiments, the grooves 409 may be arranged at intervals along the outer surface of the damping block 43. The interval distances between adjacent grooves 409 are equal.

[0142] As Figure 18 shown, in some embodiments, the damping block 43 may be provided with ribs 47. The ribs 47 may protrude from the outer surface of the damping block 43, and the ribs 47 can abut against the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 404, so as to form a gap between the outer surface of the damping block 43 and the inner wall surface of the accommodating cavity 401.

[0143] Specifically, since the damping block 43 will move and be squeezed and deformed accordingly when receiving the vibration force transmitted by the washing machine cylinder, and the space of the damping block 43 in the damping seat housing 42 is limited, it will affect the elastic deformation of the damping block 43. By forming grooves 409 by recessing on the outer surface of the damping block 43, and by providing ribs 47 on the outer surface of the damping block 43, a gap is formed between the outer surface of the damping block 43 and the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 404. Among them, the existence of the gap can enable the damping block 43 to have a larger space for deformation when receiving vibration, so as to more effectively absorb and disperse vibration energy. At the same time, the contact between the ribs 47 and the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 404 also increases the friction force between the damping block 43 and the limiting groove 404, which helps to further reduce the speed and amplitude of vibration transmitted to other parts of the device.

[0144] As Figure 17 shown, in some embodiments, the number of the ribs 47 may be greater than or equal to two.

[0145] In some embodiments, the ribs 47 may be arranged at intervals along the outer surface of the damping block 43. The interval distances between adjacent ribs 47 are equal.

[0146] In some embodiments, the ribs 47 and the damping block 43 are integrally formed.

[0147] In some embodiments, the damping block 43 in any of the above embodiments may be used in the same suspension rod assembly 4.

[0148] In some embodiments, the above various damping blocks 43 may be combined and used in the same suspension rod assembly 4. The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of the present application is only limited by the appended claims.
