[0031] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a washing machine sensor mounting structure is provided. Refer to Figures 1 to 9 As shown in, the washing machine sensor mounting structure includes: a mounting base 3200, the mounting base 3200 is provided with a mounting cavity 3210, and the mounting cavity 3210 is used to communicate with the first drum 3100 and for the sensor 6010 to be inserted; a fixing member 3300, the fixing member 3300 is provided with a fixing hole 3310, and the fixing member 3300 is used to connect with the first drum 3100; and a fastener, the fastener is used to pass through the sensor 6010 and be threadedly connected with the fixing hole 3310.

[0032] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: In the washing machine sensor mounting structure provided by the present disclosure, a mounting seat 3200, a fixing member 3300, and a fastening member are provided. When installing the sensor 6010, the sensor 6010 is inserted into the mounting cavity 3210 of the mounting seat 3200 and communicates with the first drum 3100 through the mounting cavity 3210. The fixing member 3300 is used to connect to the first drum 3100, and the fixing member 3300 is provided with a fixing hole 3310. The fastening member passes through the sensor 6010 and is threadedly connected to the fixing hole 3310 to fix the sensor 6010 to the fixing member 3300, thereby indirectly fixing the sensor 6010 to the first drum 3100. In this way, the reliability of the installation of the sensor 6010 is ensured. Since the sensor 6010 is both inserted into the mounting cavity 3210 and fixed to the fixing member 3300, the rotation of the sensor 6010 is avoided, and the stability of the sensor 6010 during use is ensured. In addition, using the fastening member to fix the sensor 6010 to the fixing member 3300 can better meet the situation where the sensor 6010 needs to be repeatedly disassembled and assembled, ensuring the reliability of the installation of the sensor 6010.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, referring to Figures 2 to 4 as shown in, the washing machine sensor mounting structure may further include a reinforcing member 3400. The reinforcing member 3400 connects the fixing member 3300 and the mounting seat 3200 and is used to connect to the first drum 3100. By providing the reinforcing member 3400, the fixing member 3300, the mounting seat 3200, and the first drum 3100 are interconnected, improving the strength of the fixing member 3300 and the mounting seat 3200 and the stability of the installation, and extending the service life of the washing machine sensor mounting structure, thereby ensuring the reliability of the installation of the sensor 6010.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, referring to Figures 2 to 4 as shown in, the reinforcing member 3400 may be configured as a plate and include a first plate section 3410. The first plate section 3410 is provided with a card slot 3420, and the fixing member 3300 is clamped in the card slot 3420. Both the fixing member 3300 and the mounting seat 3200 are connected to the first plate section 3410. In the above technical solution, the reinforcing member 3400 is configured as a plate, which can not only resist deformation but also provide stable and reliable support for the fixing member 3300 and the mounting seat 3200, and is beneficial to the lightweight of the washing machine. Among them, the structure of the card slot 3420 is adapted to the structure of the fixing member 3300, and the card slot 3420 plays a role in positioning and supporting the fixing member 3300.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, referring to Figures 2 to 4As shown, the fixing member 3300 can be configured as a columnar shape and is connected to the mounting base 3200 and the first roller 3100. The columnar fixing member 3300 is convenient for processing and has better support performance. Therefore, the mounting base 3200 can also be configured as a columnar shape, which is not only convenient for processing but also can improve the aesthetics.

[0036] In the exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, referring to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first plate segment 3410 is provided with a wire harness constraint hole 3430, and the wire harness constraint hole 3430 penetrates through the first plate segment 3410. By providing the wire harness constraint hole 3430, the wire harness on the sensor 6010 can pass through the wire harness constraint hole 3430 to constrain the wire harness. Here, the wire harness constraint hole 3430 can also be used to pass a cable tie to fix the wire harness at the wire harness constraint hole 3430.

[0037] In the exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, referring to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the reinforcing member 3400 further includes a second plate segment 3440. The second plate segment 3440 is connected to the end of the first plate segment 3410 and is bent from the end of the first plate segment 3410. The second plate segment 3440 is used to connect to the first roller 3100. Due to the provision of the second plate segment 3440, when subjected to an external force impact, the second plate segment 3440 and the first plate segment 3410 can interact with each other to prevent the first plate segment 3410 and the second plate segment 3440 from deforming, improving the overall strength of the reinforcing member 3400, and further improving the support strength between the fixing member 3300 and the mounting base 3200.

[0038] In order to further improve the strength of the reinforcing member 3400, the first plate segment 3410 and the second plate segment 3440 can be thickened according to requirements to ensure the required strength. The present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0039] According to the second aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes a first roller 3100, a sensor 6010, and the above-mentioned washing machine sensor mounting structure 3000. The sensor 6010 is mounted on the first roller 3100 through the washing machine sensor mounting structure 3000. In this way, the washing machine sensor mounting structure 3000 and the first roller 3100 form two relatively independent modules. When disassembling and assembling the sensor 6010, the first roller 3100 is not easily interfered, keeping the first roller 3100 in good performance.

[0040] In the exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, referring to Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, the first drum 3100 includes a main drum cavity 3110 and an exhaust cavity 3120. The exhaust cavity 3120 is arranged on the side of the main drum cavity 3110, and the installation cavity 3210 communicates with the exhaust cavity 3120. In the above technical solution, the exhaust cavity 3120 communicates with the main drum cavity 3110. Clothes are washed in the main drum cavity 3110, and the waste gas generated in the main drum cavity 3110 will be discharged through the exhaust cavity 3120 to ensure the normal operation of the internal environment of the main drum cavity 3110. Among them, the mounting base 3200 is arranged at the exhaust cavity 3120, and the installation cavity 3210 communicates with the exhaust cavity 3120. In order to improve the detection accuracy of the sensor 6010, a sealing ring can be set at the opening of the installation cavity 3210 so that a sealing effect is formed between the sensor 6010 and the installation cavity 3210 after the sensor 6010 is inserted into the installation cavity 3210 to obtain accurate temperature or humidity values.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, refer to Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a support rib 3150 is provided on the outer wall of the first drum 3100. The washing machine sensor mounting structure 3000 includes a reinforcing member 3400. The reinforcing member 3400 supports and connects the support rib 3150, and the reinforcing member 3400 connects the fixing member 3300, the mounting base 3200 and the outer wall of the first drum 3100. In the above technical solution, the support rib 3150 is used to strengthen the strength of the first drum 3100. The reinforcing member 3400 supports and connects the support rib 3150 so that the reinforcing member 3400 and the support rib 3150 support each other, respectively improving the strength of the reinforcing member 3400 and the support rib 3150.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the fixing member 3300, the mounting base 3200, the reinforcing member 3400 and the first drum 3100 are integrally formed. This setting ensures the integrity of the structure and improves the strength of the washing machine sensor mounting structure 3000. In addition, the installation process is reduced, which is beneficial to improving the overall assembly efficiency.

[0043] Refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, when the washing machine sensor mounting structure of the present disclosure is in use: the detection head of the sensor 6010 is inserted from the installation cavity 3210 into the exhaust cavity 3120, and the fastener passes through the installation hole on the sensor 6010 and is threadedly connected to the fixing hole 3310. Thus, the installation of the sensor 6010 is completed. The installation is convenient and ensures the stability of the installation of the sensor 6010.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, refer to Figure 1 And Figures 6 to 8As shown, the exhaust cavity 3120 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the main cylinder cavity 3110 and is connected to and in communication with the main cylinder cavity 3110. The exhaust cavity 3120 extends along the axial direction of the main cylinder cavity 3110. The mounting base 3200 is arranged at the top of the exhaust cavity 3120. In the above technical solution, the first drum 3100 further includes a drainage cavity 3130. The drainage cavity 3130 and the exhaust cavity 3120 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the main cylinder cavity 3110, and the exhaust cavity 3120 is located above the drainage cavity 3130.

[0045] In the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 6 and Figure 7 as shown, sensors 6010 are respectively provided on the drainage cavity 3130 and the exhaust cavity 3120. Among them, the sensor arranged on the drainage cavity 3130 is the first sensor 60010, and the sensor arranged on the exhaust cavity 3120 is the second sensor 60020. A washing machine sensor mounting structure 3000 is provided on the exhaust cavity 3120 for mounting the second sensor 60020 on the exhaust cavity 3120 to detect the temperature inside the exhaust cavity 3120 through the second sensor 60020. Alternatively, a washing machine sensor mounting structure 3000 can be provided on the drainage cavity 3130 for mounting the first sensor 60010 on the drainage cavity 3130 to detect the temperature inside the drainage cavity 3130 through the first sensor 60010.

[0046] For the convenience of wiring and subsequent maintenance and troubleshooting, with reference to Figures 6 to 9 as shown, the first sensor 60010 and the second sensor 60020 can be electrically connected to the electronic control box of the washing machine through a wiring structure. Among them, the electronic control box can include a first electronic control box 6001 and a second electronic control box 6004. The washing machine further includes a housing. The axis of the first drum 3100 extends along a first direction. In the first direction (refer to the identification in Figure 1 ), there is a receiving space between the end of the first drum 3100 facing the housing and the housing. Here, it can be considered that there is a receiving space between the bottom of the first drum 3100 and the housing. Through such a setting, other components can be arranged in this receiving space to improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the washing machine. Among them, the first electronic control box 6001 is installed on the housing and the first electronic control box 6001 and the first drum 3100 are in a second direction (refer to Figure 6The first sensor 60010 and the second sensor 60020 are relatively arranged on the first drum 3100 (marked in the figure), and the second electronic control box 6004 is arranged in the accommodation space. The first sensor 60010 and the second sensor 60020 are installed on the first drum 3100 and are electrically connected to the first electronic control box 6001 or the second electronic control box 6004 through a wiring structure, wherein the first direction intersects with the second direction. By such an arrangement, in practical applications, the first sensor 60010 and the second sensor 60020 can be electrically connected to the first electronic control box 6001 through the wiring structure. It is also possible that the first sensor 60010 and the second sensor 60020 are electrically connected to the second electronic control box 6004 through the wiring structure. It is further possible that one of the first sensor 60010 and the second sensor 60020 is electrically connected to the first electronic control box 6001 through the wiring structure, and the other of the first sensor 60010 and the second sensor 60020 is electrically connected to the second electronic control box 6004 through the wiring structure. The present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0047] To facilitate the electrical connection between the sensor 6100 and the first electronic control box 6001 or the second electronic control box 6004, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown in the figure, the washing machine may further include a suspension beam 3500, an anti-foaming pipe 3700, and an exhaust pipe 3600.

The first wire harness 60011 of the first sensor 60010 and / or the second wire harness 60021 of the second sensor 60020 are electrically connected to the first electronic control box 6001 through a wiring structure via the suspension beam 3500. Alternatively, the first wire harness 60011 of the first sensor 60010 and / or the second wire harness 60021 of the second sensor 60020 are electrically connected to the second electronic control box 6004 or the anti-foaming pipe through a wiring structure via the exhaust pipe 3600.

Similarly, the second wire harness 60021 of the second sensor 60020 can also be electrically connected to the first electronic control box 6001 through the suspension beam 3500. The second wire harness 60021 of the second sensor 60020 can be constrained by the suspension beam 3500. In this way, it is convenient for the wire harnesses of the first sensor 60010 and / or the second sensor 60020 to cross the body of the washing machine in the radial direction of the first drum 3100 and be electrically connected to the first electronic control box 6001. In addition, since a part of the exhaust pipe 3600 and the anti-foaming pipe 3700 are located in the accommodation space, the first wire harness 60011 can be electrically connected to the second electronic control box 6004 through the part of the exhaust pipe 3600 or the anti-foaming pipe 3700 located in the accommodation space. The wire harness of the first sensor 60010 can be constrained by the part of the exhaust pipe 3600 or the anti-foaming pipe 3700 located in the accommodation space. Here, the second wire harness 60021 can also be electrically connected to the second electronic control box 6004 through the part of the exhaust pipe 3600 or the anti-foaming pipe 3700 located in the accommodation space. The second wire harness 60021 can be constrained by the part of the exhaust pipe 3600 or the anti-foaming pipe 3700 located in the accommodation space, so that the wire harnesses of the first sensor 60010 and / or the second sensor 60020 can be routed in the axial direction of the first drum 3100 and be connected to the second electronic control box 6004.

[0048] In the above solution, there are the following four wiring methods: First, the first wire harness 60011 of the first sensor 60010 is electrically connected to the first electronic control box 6001 through the wiring structure via the suspension beam 3500, and the second wire harness 60021 of the second sensor 60020 is electrically connected to the first electronic control box 6001 through the wiring structure via the suspension beam 3500; Second, the first wire harness 60011 of the first sensor 60010 is electrically connected to the first electronic control box 6001 through the wiring structure via the suspension beam 3500, and the second wire harness 60021 of the second sensor 60020 is electrically connected to the second electronic control box 6004 through the wiring structure via the exhaust pipe 3600 or the defoaming pipe 3700; Third, the first wire harness 60011 of the first sensor 60010 is electrically connected to the second electronic control box 6004 through the wiring structure via the exhaust pipe 3600 or the defoaming pipe 3700, and the second wire harness 60021 of the second sensor 60020 is electrically connected to the first electronic control box 6001 through the wiring structure via the suspension beam 3500; Fourth, the first wire harness 60011 of the first sensor 60010 is electrically connected to the second electronic control box 6004 through the wiring structure via the exhaust pipe 3600 or the defoaming pipe 3700, and the second wire harness 60021 of the second sensor 60020 is electrically connected to the second electronic control box 6004 through the wiring structure via the exhaust pipe 3600 or the defoaming pipe 3700.
