Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of washing equipment technology, specifically relating to a packaging component for a washing machine and a washing machine having the packaging component. Background Technology

[0002] A top-loading washing machine includes a cabinet, an outer tub and an inner tub inside the cabinet. The outer tub is suspended from the top of the cabinet by a boom. Therefore, during the transportation of the washing machine, the outer tub will inevitably shake, which may cause the outer tub to collide with the cabinet.

[0003] Patent CN201920300853.5 discloses a packaging structure including an upper pad, a lower pad, and corner pads. The corner pads are positioned between the upper and lower pads, defining a packaging space for accommodating a washing machine. The upper surface of the lower pad has a protrusion corresponding to the drum assembly, used to support and elevate the drum assembly, preventing structural failure due to stress on the washing machine's suspension rod during a fall. The middle pad includes a first part and a second part connected axially. The first part is adapted to mate with the inner peripheral wall of the washing machine's worktable, and the free end of the second part is adapted to extend into the inner drum of the washing machine. The second part is adapted to mate with the inner peripheral wall of the washing machine's balance ring.

[0004] The packaging structure in the aforementioned patent uses a foam inner pad, along with protrusions, to secure the outer drum. The inner pad itself is relatively large, requiring a significant amount of material, resulting in high manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the slow degradation rate of foam materials contributes to environmental pollution. In addition, the inner pad's structure must match the drum module's structure; different drum module structures necessitate different inner pads, leading to poor packaging structure versatility and high costs associated with mold development, manufacturing, and storage.

[0053] See Figures 1-13 This is an embodiment of a packaging assembly for a washing equipment proposed in this utility model. The packaging assembly is used to fix a housing 100 and an outer tub 200. The packaging assembly includes: a packaging bolt 10, a fixing post 210, a locking plate 20, and a through hole 150. The packaging bolt 10 is detachably disposed between the housing 100 and the outer tub 200, and the through hole 150 is provided on the housing 100. The fixing post 210 is located on the outside of the outer tub 200, and an insertion hole 220 matching the bolt post 11 of the packaging bolt 10 is provided on the fixing post 210. The locking plate 20 is disposed inside the fixing post 210 and is locked and fixed to the packaging bolt 10. The packaging bolt passes through the through hole 150, then extends into the insertion hole 220, and is locked and fixed to the locking plate 20.

[0054] The packaging bolt 10, in conjunction with the fixing post 210 and the locking plate 20, securely fixes the box body 100 and the outer tub 200, effectively preventing the outer tub 200 from shaking or shifting during transportation and handling, ensuring the overall stability of the washing equipment. This makes the packaging component highly versatile and applicable to the packaging and transportation of different models of washing equipment. The installation process of the packaging bolt 10 is relatively simple; it only requires passing the packaging bolt 10 through the through hole 150 on the box body 100, inserting it into the insertion hole 220 of the fixing post 210 on the outer side of the outer tub 200, and then locking it with the locking plate 20. No complicated tools or techniques are required, improving the efficiency of packaging assembly. Furthermore, the packaging bolt can be easily removed after the washing equipment is transported to its destination.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, a locking hole 21 is provided on the locking plate 20, and the packaging bolt 10 has a bolt cap 12 and a bolt post 11 connected to the bolt cap 12. A locking groove 111 is provided on the bolt post 11 to engage with the locking hole 21. By providing the locking hole 21 and the locking groove 111, the locking connection between the packaging bolt 10 and the locking plate 20 is made tighter and more precise. Furthermore, when packaging and fixing washing equipment of different specifications, sizes, weights, etc., as long as the packaging bolt 10 can pass through the corresponding through hole and be inserted into the insertion hole 220 of the fixing post 210, and the locking hole 21 and the locking groove 111 cooperate to achieve locking and fixing, a good fixing effect can be achieved, ensuring versatility. The packaging bolt 10 is inserted through the through hole 150 of the box body 100 and into the insertion hole 211 of the outer fixing post 210 of the outer tub 200, so that the engaging groove 111 and engaging hole 21 engage to complete the installation. No additional complicated tools or techniques are required, ensuring efficient packaging assembly. After the washing equipment is transported to its destination, the packaging bolt 10 can also be easily removed due to its relatively simple structural connection. The engagement between the engaging hole 21 and the engaging groove 111 will not hinder the removal, and the removal operation remains convenient.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the engaging hole 21 has an arc-shaped hole wall 211 that matches the bolt 11, and a flat hole wall 212 that matches the bottom of the engaging groove 111. The arc-shaped hole wall 211 can closely fit the outer periphery of the bolt 11, and the bottom of the engaging groove 111 and the flat hole wall 212 can closely fit, achieving precise positioning and limiting; and after the bolt 11 of the packaging plug 10 is inserted into the engaging hole 21, the contact area between the two is larger and the fit is higher, ensuring the stability of the connection between the packaging plug 10 and the engaging plate 20. When installing the packaging plug 10, the arc-shaped hole wall 211 plays a role in guiding the insertion of the bolt 11.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, two opposing engagement grooves 111 are provided on the bolt 11, and the distance between the bottoms of the two engagement grooves 111 matches the width of the engagement hole 21. Two parallel planar hole walls 212 are correspondingly provided on the engagement hole 21, and the width of the engagement hole 21 is the distance between the two planar hole walls 212. The two opposing engagement grooves 111 on the bolt 11 cooperate with the corresponding two parallel planar hole walls 212 on the engagement hole 21 to form a bidirectional engagement and fixing structure; it can limit the packaging bolt 10 from two different directions, making its fixation on the engagement plate 20 more secure and reliable. When subjected to external force, it can be evenly distributed through these two symmetrical engagement parts.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, a gap 22 is provided on the locking plate 20 to connect with the locking hole 21. The gap 22 is used to allow deformation of the locking hole 21; the installation of the bolt 11 is achieved through the deformation of the locking hole 21. During installation, if the bolt 11 and the locking hole 21 are not perfectly aligned, the bolt 11 can still be easily squeezed into the locking hole 21 by utilizing the deformable characteristic of the locking hole 21. Subsequently, the locking hole 21 returns to its original shape, achieving locking and fixing with the bolt 11, greatly improving the convenience of the installation operation. The gap 22 and the deformable characteristic of the locking hole 21 can, to a certain extent, compensate for the impact of these errors. The gap 22 allows the locking hole 21 to deform, which can compensate for the impact of these errors to a certain extent. Even if the size of the bolt 11 deviates slightly from the theoretical standard size of the locking hole 21, the two can still be well locked by the deformation of the locking hole 21. This improves the adaptability of the packaging component to dimensional errors in the production and processing process and ensures the overall assembly success rate of the product.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, a receiving groove 212 for accommodating the locking plate 20 is provided on the fixing post 210. The locking plate 20 is installed in the receiving groove 212, and the insertion hole 220 communicates with the receiving groove 212. By placing the locking plate 20 in the receiving groove 212, the fixing post 210 and the locking plate 20 form a relatively tight integral structure, and the fixing post 210 itself can provide a certain degree of protection for the locking plate 20.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the receiving groove 212 has an upper opening, allowing the locking plate 20 to be easily inserted directly into the receiving groove 212 from top to bottom during installation. The locking plate 20 is arranged perpendicularly to the insertion hole 220, forming a more stable fixing structure in the vertical direction when the pin 11 of the packaging bolt 10 passes through the insertion hole 220 and engages with the locking plate 20. The locking plate 20 is made of metal, which has high strength and hardness, and compared to some plastic materials, it can withstand greater external forces without easily deforming.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, a support member 30 is further included, sleeved on the outside of the packaging bolt 10. A slot 240 is formed on the fixing post 210 extending radially outward along the insertion hole 220, and the slot 240 is used to accommodate the support member 30, with one end of the support member 30 located within the slot 240. After the packaging bolt 10 is connected to the fixing post 210, the support member 30 provides strong lateral support to the packaging bolt 10, stabilizing the connection between the packaging bolt 10 and the fixing post 210. During transportation, external forces act on the packaging assembly, and the presence of the support member 30 can disperse the external forces that were originally concentrated at the connection between the packaging bolt 10 and the fixing post 210. These forces are transmitted through the support member 30 to the slot 240 and other parts of the fixing post 210, making the entire packaging assembly more evenly stressed, reducing the risk of damage due to excessive local stress, and enhancing the overall ability of the packaging assembly to resist external forces.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, a buffer member 40 is further included, sleeved on the outside of the support member 30, and a gasket 50 is sleeved on the outside of the packaging bolt 10. The buffer member 40 is located between the through hole 150 and the gasket 50. The buffer member 40 has an axially extending washer portion 41, which is located within the through hole 150 and between the support member 30 and the through hole 150. The support member 30 has a mounting groove 31 for mounting the buffer member 40. The presence of the buffer member 40 and the gasket 50 also protects the support member 30 and the packaging bolt 10. The buffer member 40, with its axially extending washer portion 41 and overall buffer structure, can effectively absorb and disperse these vibration energies, minimizing the impact of vibration on the packaging assembly and washing equipment. The washer part 41 is located inside the through hole 150. During the transportation of the washing equipment, vibration and shaking are inevitable. At this time, the packaging bolt 10 and the support 30 sleeved on its outside will have a certain displacement tendency. The washer part 41 can play a buffering and isolation role, preventing the support 30 from directly rubbing and colliding with the inner wall of the through hole 150, thereby effectively reducing the wear and scratches on the inner wall of the through hole 150 due to long-term friction.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, the box 100 includes a box body 110, a rear plate 120 covering a maintenance opening on the box body 110, and a reinforcing beam 130 fixed at the maintenance opening. A through hole 150 is provided in the reinforcing beam 130. The reinforcing beam 130, fixed at the maintenance opening, effectively reinforces this relatively weak area. The through hole 150 in the reinforcing beam 130 ensures that the structural strength of the box 100 is not significantly affected by arbitrary openings, while also meeting the requirements for packaging component installation, allowing the packaging process to proceed smoothly.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, the rear plate 120 is located behind the reinforcing beam 130, and a clearance hole 121 is provided on the rear plate 120 to avoid the packaging bolt 10. The clearance hole 121 ensures that the packaging bolt 10 is not affected by the rear plate 120 during installation and subsequent disassembly; the packaging bolt 10 can be installed or removed after the rear plate 120 is fixed. In particular, the rear plate 120 should not be removed during disassembly.

[0065] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by this utility model.
