Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of washing machines, and in particular relates to a drum mouth structure of a washing machine. Background Art
[0002] The drum washing machines commonly produced and used at present include a drum, a shell and a motor that provides driving force. By transmitting the power of the motor to the drum, the clothes are continuously lifted and dropped in the drum. At the same time, the chemical decomposition effect of the detergent and the flushing effect of the reverse water flow are combined to effectively remove the dirt on the clothes.
[0003] In the current washing machine market, two major categories, front-loading washing machines and pulsator washing machines, dominate the market. Both types of washing machines face a common design challenge, namely, the clothing loading and unloading port is usually located on the end face of the independent drum (usually a cylindrical structure). This design results in the independent drum only being able to be fixed at one end or part of the drum when it is installed, and it cannot be completely and firmly fixed at the center of the circle. This limitation makes the independent drum prone to vibration due to uneven force when the washing machine is running at high speed, which not only affects the stability and service life of the washing machine, but may also cause excessive noise, bringing unnecessary trouble and inconvenience to users. Therefore, how to improve the stability of the independent drum to reduce vibration and noise and improve user experience is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0022] A drum mouth structure of a washing machine, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a box body 1, an independent cylinder 2, a cover body 3 and an outer shell 4. The outer shell 4 is arranged in the box body 1, the independent cylinder 2 is rotatably arranged in the outer shell, and the two ends of the independent cylinder 2 are coaxially arranged on the outer shell 4.
[0023] Specifically, a connecting shaft 6 is provided at one end of the independent cylinder 2, and the connecting shaft 6 is integrally arranged with the independent cylinder 2. A connecting shaft 2 7 is provided at the other end of the independent cylinder 2, and the connecting shaft 2 7 is integrally arranged with the independent cylinder 2. A fixed bearing 8 is provided at one end of the outer shell 4, and the outer ring of the fixed bearing 8 is fixed to the outer shell 4, and the connecting shaft 6 is fixed to the inner ring of the fixed bearing 8. A fixed bearing 2 9 is provided at the other end of the outer shell 4, and the outer ring of the fixed bearing 2 9 is fixed to the outer shell 4, and the connecting shaft 2 7 is fixed to the inner ring of the fixed bearing 2 9. The connecting shaft 6, the connecting shaft 2 7, the fixed bearing 8 and the fixed bearing 2 9 are coaxially arranged.
[0024] It should be noted that the connecting shaft 1 6 and the connecting shaft 2 7 at both ends of the independent cylinder 2 are respectively supported by the fixed bearing 1 8 and the fixed bearing 2 9, that is, by fixing the two ends of the independent cylinder 2, the stability of the independent cylinder 2 is improved to reduce the vibration and noise generated when the independent cylinder 2 rotates.
[0025] An opening 5 is provided on the side wall of the independent drum 2, and the cover 3 is used to seal the opening 5 to prevent water and clothes in the independent drum 2 from being discharged from the opening 5. A clothing loading and unloading port corresponding to the opening 5 is provided on the outer surface of the box body 1. In this embodiment, the clothing loading and unloading port is opened on the upper surface of the box body 1 or on the outer side wall of the box body 1.
[0026] It should be noted that the clothing insertion and removal port is opened on the upper surface of the box 1, and the user can easily put in or take out clothes without bending over or squatting. This is especially convenient for the elderly, pregnant women or people with limited mobility. The design conforms to ergonomic principles, allowing users to put in or take out clothes in a more natural and comfortable posture.
[0027] It should be further explained that, as another solution, there are two clothing insertion ports, which are respectively opened on the upper surface of the box 1 and the lower surface of the box 1, so that clothes can be easily put in or taken out. This is especially convenient for densely populated areas. The design meets the needs of social groups, and user groups can put in or take out clothes at designated locations more naturally and conveniently.
[0028] The cover body 3 is rotatably set on the independent cylinder 2. Specifically, the cover body 3 is hinged on the outer wall of the independent cylinder 2. A pressure block 10 is rotatably set on the independent cylinder 2. The pressure block 10 is used to press the cover body 3 at the opening 5. The cover body 3 is pressed by the pressure block 10 to ensure the stability of the cover body 3.
[0029] A connecting seat 11 is provided on the outer wall of the independent cylinder 2, and a connecting piece 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 11. The end of the connecting piece 12 is rotatably connected to a handle 13. The pressing block 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 11, and the end of the handle 13 is rotatably connected to the end of the pressing block 10.
[0030] An elastic protrusion 14 is formed along the opening 5 on the outer wall of the independent tube 2, and a sealing ring 15 is clamped on the elastic protrusion. The sealing ring 15 is used to seal between the elastic protrusion 14 and the cover body 3. The sealing effect of the sealing ring 15 prevents water in the independent tube 2 from leaking out from between the elastic protrusion 14 and the cover body 3.
