[0028] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustration and explanation of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
[0029] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the orientation terms such as "upper, lower" are usually defined according to the direction of the drawing surface of the accompanying drawings. The first direction is set as the height direction of the washing machine, the second direction is set as the depth direction of the washing machine, that is, the axial direction of the washing tub, and the third direction is set as the width direction of the washing machine. "Inner, outer" refers to the inner and outer of the relevant components. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0030] In the description of the present disclosure, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "arranged", "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. It can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. It can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific situations.
[0031] In the related art, a suspension beam is used to support the washing tub of a washing machine. However, due to the large number of components in the washing machine, it is easy to interfere with the suspension beam, affecting the layout. In particular, when the washing tub in a drum washing machine rotates, there is a certain vibration. After the suspension beam is connected to the washing tub, the suspension beam will also have a certain vibration. When vibrating, it is easy to collide with the components in the washing machine, which may cause abnormal noises or affect the structural reliability.
[0032] To this end, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, one aspect of the present disclosure provides a suspension beam for a washing machine, including a suspension beam body 1 for installing a washing tub 4. An avoidance portion 2 is formed on the suspension beam body 1, and the avoidance portion 2 is configured to avoid the washing tub 4 and / or components 3 on the washing tub 4.
[0033] In the above technical solution, by providing the avoidance portion 2 on the suspension beam body 1 to avoid the washing tub 4 and / or components 3 on the washing tub 4, there will be no contact between the suspension beam body 1 and the washing tub 4 and / or components 3 on the washing tub 4, and thus no interference problem will occur. This can enable a compact layout of the washing tub 4 and / or components 3 on the washing tub 4 and the suspension beam body 1, improving space utilization. Additionally, by providing the avoidance portion 2, a sufficient spacing space can be maintained between the suspension beam body 1 and the washing tub 4 and / or components 3 on the washing tub 4, which can prevent the suspension beam body 1 from vibrating and colliding with the washing tub 4 and / or components 3 on the washing tub 4, avoiding collision noise and ensuring the reliability of the components 3 close to the suspension beam body 1.
[0034] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the suspension beam body 1 extends along a third direction. In a first direction, the suspension beam body 1 is disposed opposite to the component 3, and the avoidance portion 2 avoids the component 3 disposed opposite to the suspension beam body 1 in the first direction.
[0035] Wherein, the first direction and the third direction are arranged at an angle, and both the first direction and the third direction are perpendicular to the axis of the washing tub 4. By setting it in this way, it is possible to better prevent the suspension beam body 1 from vibrating and colliding with the washing tub 4 and / or components 3 on the washing tub 4, because the vibration of the washing tub 4 is in the radial direction of the washing tub 4, that is, the vibration in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the washing tub 4. Thus, the suspension beam body 1 is also vibrated in the first direction.
[0036] It can be understood that the suspension beam body 1 will approach or move away from the washing tub 4 and / or components 3 on the washing tub 4 under the drive of the washing tub 4. In this way, the avoidance portion 2 can play a good avoidance role. It should be noted that the vibration of the suspension beam body 1 driven by the washing tub 4 is a vibration with a small amplitude, not a very large amplitude vibration. Therefore, the size of the avoidance portion 2 does not need to be too large, and the size of the avoidance portion 2 can be set according to the size of the components 3 that need to be avoided actually.
[0037] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the suspension beam body 1 is configured as a plate body. In the first direction, the plate body has a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 arranged oppositely. The first surface 11 faces the laundry tub 4, the avoidance portion 2 is located on the first surface 11, and the second surface 12 faces the housing 5 of the washing machine. By setting the suspension beam body 1 as a plate body, the connection area with the laundry tub 4 can be increased, and the connection strength can be improved. The suspension beam body 1 is close to the housing 5 of the washing machine. Therefore, by arranging the avoidance portion 2 on the first surface 11, it is convenient to avoid the components 3.
[0038] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the suspension beam body 1 is configured as a cuboid cross beam, and the avoidance portion 2 is arranged on the surface of the suspension beam body 1 facing the laundry tub 4.
[0039] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the first direction, a first gap is provided between the second surface 12 and the housing 5 of the washing machine, and the width of the first gap is 20 mm - 30 mm. By setting it like this, enough space is maintained between the suspension beam body 1 and the housing 5 of the washing machine, avoiding the suspension beam body 1 from colliding with the housing 5 of the washing machine when vibrating following the laundry tub 4, avoiding generating abnormal noises, and at the same time maintaining the reliability of the suspension beam body 1. It should be noted that the width of the first gap can be selected according to actual setting needs, and can be 20 mm, 25 mm or 30 mm, etc.
[0040] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the first direction, the avoidance portion 2 is configured as a protrusion of the suspension beam body 1 that deviates from the component 3, and a second gap is reserved between the protrusion and the housing 5 of the washing machine. By setting the avoidance portion 2 as a protrusion, it is convenient to avoid the component 3, and at the same time it is very convenient in manufacturing, and it can be directly obtained by extruding and deforming the suspension beam body 1. The set second gap can keep enough space between the protrusion and the housing 5 of the washing machine, avoiding the protrusion from colliding with the housing 5 of the washing machine when the suspension beam body 1 vibrates following the laundry tub 4, avoiding generating abnormal noises, and at the same time maintaining the reliability of the suspension beam body 1. In some examples, the width of the second gap can be selected according to actual setting needs, and can be 10 mm - 25 mm, etc.
[0041] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first direction is set as the vertical direction, and the third direction is set as the horizontal direction. In the third direction, the avoidance portion 2 is located on one side of the laundry tub 4. In the first direction, the suspension beam body 1 is arranged oppositely to the laundry tub 4, and the suspension beam body 1 is located above the laundry tub 4. By setting it like this, the avoidance portion 2 will not interfere with the laundry tub 4, but can avoid the components 3 connected to the laundry tub 4, such as the drying air duct or the water inlet pipe, etc. And the suspension beam body 1 is located above the laundry tub 4, which can produce a suspension effect and realize the supporting effect on the laundry tub 4.
[0042] Optionally, in another implementation manner of the present disclosure, it is possible to make the most of the space. It can be understood that the component 3 on the laundry tub 4 is located on one side of the suspension beam body 1.

Wherein, the first direction and the second direction are arranged at an angle, and the second direction is set as the axial direction of the laundry tub 4. By setting like this, it is possible to avoid the component 3 located on the side of the suspension beam body 1 in the second direction, and avoid interference between the component 3 disposed opposite to the suspension beam body 1 in the second direction and the suspension beam body 1, so as to better achieve the spatial layout and improve the space utilization rate.

It can be understood that the number of the avoidance portions 2 can be selected according to actual needs. One avoidance portion 2 can simultaneously avoid the components 3 disposed opposite to the suspension beam body 1 in the first direction and the second direction respectively, or multiple avoidance portions 2 can separately avoid the components 3 disposed opposite to the suspension beam body 1 in the first direction and the second direction respectively.

Wherein, the protrusion is formed by outwardly protruding a part of the suspension beam body 1, and the specific direction of the protrusion can be set according to the position of the component 3, as long as it keeps deviating from the component 3. That is to say, the protrusion can protrude in the first direction or the second direction.
[0046] Optionally, in another implementation manner of the present disclosure, the avoidance portion 2 is configured as a through hole on the suspension beam body 1.
