[0029] The implementation, functional features and advantages of the present application will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] The base 10 and the clothes processing equipment 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application solve the technical problem that the leveling method of the clothes processing equipment 100 is complex. The following will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0032] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The foot 10 comprises a stud 1 and a nut 2, the stud 1 comprises a base 11 and a column 12, the column 12 is vertically arranged on the base 11, and the column 12 and the base 11 can be relatively close or far away along the length direction of the column 12, so that the length of the stud 1 can be adjusted.

[0033] Specifically, the column 12 can be a cylindrical column 12, and the length direction of the column 12 is the axial direction of the column 12. An outer thread can be arranged on the outer peripheral wall of one end of the column 12.

[0034] The base 11 is used to arrange the column 12, and the column 12 is vertically arranged on the base 11, so that the length direction of the column 12 is consistent with the length direction of the stud 1. The column 12 is movably mounted on the base 11, and the two can be relatively movable; specifically, the base 11 can be relatively close to or relatively far away from the column 12, and similarly, the column 12 can be relatively close to or relatively far away from the base 11, so that the distance between the two can be adjusted. It should be noted that the relative movement direction of the base 11 and the column 12 is along the length direction of the column 12, so that as the base 11 and the column 12 are relatively close to each other, the distance between the two is shortened, and the length of the stud 1 is also shortened accordingly, and as the base 11 and the column 12 are relatively far away from each other, the distance between the two is increased, and the length of the stud 1 is also increased accordingly.

[0035] The nut 2 is a fastener that is threadedly matched with the stud 1, and the shape thereof can be circular, square, hexagonal, etc. The nut 2 has a threaded hole extending along the axial direction thereof, and an inner thread matched with the outer thread is arranged on the hole wall of the threaded hole. The nut 2 is sleeved on the stud 1, and specifically can be sleeved on the column 12 of the stud 1, and fastening and connection are achieved by matching with the outer thread on the column 12. When the nut 2 is screwed, the friction of the thread will generate a reverse force, so that the stud 1 and the connected part (for example, the bottom of the body of the laundry treating apparatus 100) are tightly fixed together.

[0036] The foot 10 provided in the present application comprises a stud 1 and a column 12, and the base 11 and the column 12 can be relatively movable, so that the length of the foot 10 can be adjusted, thereby making the foot 10 adapt to different installation distance application environments; when the foot 10 is applied to the laundry treating apparatus 100, if the ground on which the laundry treating apparatus 100 is placed is uneven, resulting in that the installation distances of the four feet 10 from the ground are not equal, the length of the foot 10 can be adjusted until the foot 10 is in contact with the ground, leveling is achieved, and the leveling method is simple and convenient.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 10 may further include an elastic element. An elastic element is an element that can store energy when deformed or undergoing other changes (such as volume change, spacing change, etc.) under external force, and can release energy to restore its original shape and generate a restoring force after the external force ends. This restoring force can be a mechanical elastic restoring force or a magnetic elastic force. The elastic element is disposed on at least one of the base 11 and the column 12; and the elastic element is configured to generate a restoring force opposite to the direction of the external force when at least one of the base 11 and the column 12 is subjected to an external force and moves closer or further apart, so that the base 11 and the column 12 remain relatively stationary. In this way, when an external force acts on one or both of the base 11 and the column 12, the base 11 and the column 12 can move closer or further apart, causing the length of the stud 1 to gradually shorten or lengthen. At this time, the elastic element will gradually generate an opposite force, acting on the base 11 and the column 12, until it is balanced with the external force, so that the base 11 and the column 12 can remain relatively stationary, and the length of the stud 1 is stabilized at its current length. The setting of the elastic element allows the length of the stud 1 to change automatically without manual control. When applied to the garment processing equipment 100, it helps to make the leveling operation of the equipment more convenient. In addition, during the operation of the garment processing equipment 100, if the load fluctuation of the foot 10 caused by the eccentric force causes relative movement between the column 12 and the base 11, the elastic element can also play a role in buffering and damping vibration reduction, maintaining the stability of the garment processing equipment 100 and reducing the noise of the garment processing equipment 100 during operation.

[0038] The elastic element can be implemented in various forms, such as being designed as one or more of the following: an elastic element, a magnetic element, or a deformable fluid (e.g., air, oil).

[0039] Specifically, in one embodiment, the elastic element includes a spring 3 extending along the length of the column 12, the spring 3 abutting between the base 11 and the column 12. When the spring 3 is compressed or extended, a reverse restoring force is generated. In other embodiments, the elastic element includes a first magnetic element and a second magnetic element that repel each other, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element being respectively disposed on the base 11 and the column 12; for example, the first magnetic element can be disposed on the base 11 and the second magnetic element on the column 12, or the first magnetic element can be disposed on the column 12 and the second magnetic element on the base 11. When the distance between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element decreases, a repulsive force is formed between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element.

[0040] The column 12 has a first end and a second end arranged oppositely, wherein the first end is arranged close to the base 11, and the second end is arranged away from the base 11, and an external thread is arranged on the second end. In some embodiments, an installation cavity 121 is formed inside the first end, the installation cavity 121 is arranged as a cavity extending along the length direction of the column 12, and the installation cavity 121 has an opening towards the base 11, and the installation cavity 121 can be entered or exited from the opening. The base 11 comprises a seat body 111 and a connecting part 112, and the connecting part 112 is arranged vertically on the seat body 111. One end of the connecting part 112 away from the seat body 111 extends into the installation cavity 121 through the opening, and the other end of the connecting part 112 connected to the seat body 111 is located outside the installation cavity 121. The connecting part 112 is arranged reciprocally in the installation cavity 121 along the length direction of the column 12, so as to realize the relative approaching or moving away between the base 11 and the column 12.

[0041] Further, in order to reduce weight and save material, the outer diameter of the second end can be arranged smaller than the outer diameter of the first end, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first end is configured as a mounting seat 122, and the second end is configured as a threaded column, the threaded column is arranged vertically in the center of the mounting seat 122, and the outer diameter of the threaded column is smaller than the outer diameter of the mounting seat 122, the installation cavity 121 is formed in the mounting seat 122, and the opening is formed on the side of the mounting seat 122 away from the threaded column.

[0042] Based on the design of the installation cavity 121, the elastic element is arranged on at least one of the cavity wall of the installation cavity 121 and the connecting part 112.

[0043] In some embodiments, the elastic element is arranged as a spring 3, the spring 3 is arranged in the installation cavity 121, and abuts between the cavity wall of the installation cavity 121 and the connecting part 112. Specifically, the spring 3 can be arranged between the cavity wall of the installation cavity 121 towards the opening and the connecting part 112, so that when the base 11 moves in the direction away from the column 12 (i.e. the connecting part 112 exits outwards from the opening), the spring 3 is elongated to generate a restoring force driving the base 11 to approach the column 12, and when the base 11 moves in the direction approaching the column 12 (i.e. the connecting part 112 advances into the installation cavity 121), the spring 3 is shortened to generate a restoring force driving the base 11 to move away from the column 12; or the spring 3 can be arranged between the cavity wall region surrounding the opening and the one end of the connecting part 112 away from the seat body 111, so that when the base 11 moves in the direction away from the column 12, the spring 3 is compressed, and when the base 11 moves in the direction approaching the column 12, the spring 3 is elongated.

[0044] The spring 3 can be provided in one or multiple, when multiple springs 3 are provided, the multiple springs 3 can be connected in sequence along the length direction or arranged side by side, and abut the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 121 and the connecting part 112.

[0045] In some other embodiments, the elastic element is provided as a first magnetic part and a second magnetic part that repel each other. Specifically, the first magnetic part can be provided on the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 121 facing the opening, the second magnetic part can be provided on the end of the connecting part 112 away from the base 111, and the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are arranged opposite to each other. Alternatively, the first magnetic part can be provided on the cavity wall region of the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 121 surrounding the opening, the second magnetic part can be provided on the end of the connecting part 112 away from the base 111, and the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are arranged opposite to each other.

[0046] To share the pressure borne by the elastic element, and to improve the support capacity, shock absorption and damping performance of the foot 10, in some embodiments, a friction surface is provided on the inner ring wall of the opening, the friction surface is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part 112, and the friction surface and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part 112 slide relative to each other when the connecting part 112 reciprocates in the opening. The friction surface can be a rough surface, and when the connecting part 112 slides, a friction force can be generated between the friction surface and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part 112, thereby assisting the elastic element and providing a damping effect.

[0047] In some embodiments, the inner ring wall of the opening is in interference fit with the connecting part 112 to increase the friction force.

[0048] Specifically, in some embodiments, a ring sleeve can be adhered or fixed on the inner ring wall of the opening by other fixing means, at least part of the inner wall of the ring sleeve constitutes the friction surface, and the connecting part 112 is in contact with and slides relative to the inner wall of the ring sleeve when the connecting part 112 is arranged in the opening. It can be understood that the ring sleeve can be designed such that the entire inner wall is a rough surface, so that the entire inner wall constitutes the friction surface, which not only provides a larger friction force, but also distributes the friction force more evenly, which helps the connecting part 112 to move smoothly. Alternatively, part of the inner wall can be designed as a rough surface, specifically, a continuous region of the inner wall can be designed as a rough surface, so that the single rough surface constitutes the friction surface. The shape of the single rough surface can be any shape, such as a circular shape, a strip shape, a polygonal shape, or a ring shape arranged along the circumferential direction of the inner wall, etc. When the ring shape is designed, the friction force is distributed more evenly, which helps the connecting part 112 to move smoothly. Alternatively, multiple regions of the inner wall can be designed as rough surfaces, when multiple regions are designed as rough surfaces, the multiple regions can be distributed unevenly on the inner wall, or evenly on the inner wall, for example, the multiple regions can be arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the inner wall, so that the friction force is distributed evenly, which helps the connecting part 112 to move smoothly.

[0049] In other embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner ring wall is provided with a groove; the base 10 also includes a friction part 4, which is embedded in the groove, and at least a portion of the surface of the friction part 4 is exposed at the groove opening. This exposed surface is designed as a rough surface, which can constitute the friction surface. Furthermore, the groove can be designed in any shape, such as circular, strip-shaped, polygonal, or annular along the circumferential direction of the inner wall, etc. When designed as an annular shape, the friction surface is annular along the circumferential direction of the inner wall, which not only provides greater friction but also distributes the friction force more evenly, facilitating smooth movement of the connecting part 112. In addition, the groove can be one or more, and the grooves can be unevenly distributed or evenly distributed on the inner wall, spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the inner wall or spaced apart along the length of the column 12. This application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0050] To prevent the connecting part 112 from completely detaching from the mounting cavity 121 when the column 12 and the base 11 are relatively far apart, in some embodiments, a limiting part 113 protrudes from the end of the connecting part 112 away from the base 111. The limiting part 113 protrudes radially from the outer peripheral wall of the connecting part 112. In this way, when the column 12 and the base 11 are relatively far apart, the limiting part 113 can cooperate with the edge of the opening, and the limiting part 113 is blocked by the edge, thereby preventing the connecting part 112 from exiting the mounting cavity 121 through the opening. The limiting part 113 can be a non-annular protrusion or an annular protrusion arranged along the circumferential direction of the connecting part 112. When the limiting part 113 is designed as a non-annular protrusion, one or more limiting parts 113 can be provided. When multiple limiting parts 113 are provided, they can be spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the connecting part 112.

[0051] In addition, in some embodiments, the foot 10 may also include a cushioning pad 5, which forms a mounting groove with one open end. The base 11 is fitted into the mounting groove, and the cushioning pad 5 covers the base 11. Specifically, the mounting groove is adapted to the base 111, and the cushioning pad 5 covers the base 111, allowing the foot 10 to contact the ground through the cushioning pad 5. This protects the ground and prevents the base 11 from scratching it. Simultaneously, it provides cushioning and shock absorption during the operation of the clothing processing equipment 100. The cushioning pad 5 may be made of rubber.

[0052] Further, in some embodiments, the seat body 111 is provided with a protrusion 6 on the side away from the connecting portion 112; a recess is formed on the bottom of the mounting groove, and the protrusion 6 and the recess are matched with each other when the seat body 111 is assembled in the mounting groove. The matching of the recess and the protrusion 6 can position and stabilize the seat body 111, and can avoid the seat body 111 from moving in the mounting groove due to the vibration of the clothes treatment apparatus 100, thereby affecting the matching of the seat body 111 and the buffer pad 5.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application further provide a clothes treatment apparatus 100, which can be a washing machine, a drying machine, a washing-drying integrated machine, or the like. The clothes treatment apparatus 100 comprises the foot 10 as described above.

[0054] The clothes treatment apparatus 100 can generally comprise a machine body and the foot 10 arranged at the bottom of the machine body. The specific structure of the foot 10 can refer to the above embodiments. Since the foot 10 adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described here again. The foot 10 comprises the stud 1 and the nut 2, the stud 1 comprises the base 11 and the column body 12, the column body 12 is vertically arranged on the base 11, and the column body 12 and the base 11 can be relatively close to or away from each other along the length direction of the column body 12, so that the length of the stud 1 can be adjusted.

[0055] In specific use, the nut 2 can be loosened first, and the stud 1 can be installed to the bottom of the machine body of the clothes treatment apparatus 100. After being adjusted to the expected initial length, the nut 2 is tightened to fasten the stud 1 to the bottom of the machine body, and at this time, the length of the foot 10 is the expected initial length. Subsequently, the clothes treatment apparatus 100 is placed on the ground to be installed, and under the action of the gravity of the apparatus itself, the length of the foot 10 can be adjusted automatically to realize leveling.

[0056] In some embodiments, the clothes treatment apparatus 100 has four feet 10, and at least one of the four feet 10 adopts the foot 10 described above. When only one, two or three feet 10 adopt the foot 10 described above, the initial length of the foot 10 can be set to be greater than the length of the foot 10 which does not adopt the foot 10 described above. In this way, when uneven ground is encountered, at least the foot 10 can be ensured to be in contact with the ground, and under the action of the weight of the apparatus itself, the length of the foot 10 is driven to be shortened, so that the four feet 10 can be finally ensured to be in contact with the ground.

[0057] The current mainstream decoration method is to place the laundry treatment device 100 in a narrow space under a washing table, a cabinet or a washing cabinet 200, which requires embedded installation. After the laundry treatment device 100 is placed in the embedded space, because the top of the laundry treatment device 100 is blocked, it is not only impossible to check the leveling by holding the top corners with both hands, but also more difficult to adjust the length of the two rear feet 10 of the laundry treatment device 100. In an embodiment, the four feet 10 all adopt the feet 10 described above, so that when the laundry treatment device 100 is installed, the four feet 10 can all adjust the length by themselves to adapt to more complex ground and more complex installation environment. Specifically, when the laundry treatment device 100 is placed on uneven ground, it may occur that three feet 10 are in contact with the ground and one foot 10 is in the air. Since the foot 10 proposed in the present application has the function of self-adjusting length, the three feet 10 in contact with the ground can shorten by themselves, so that the whole device moves downward until all four feet 10 are in contact with the ground. The leveling method is convenient and fast, which not only can adapt to complex ground environment, but also is suitable for embedded installation.

[0058] In some embodiments, the foot 10 includes an elastic element, which not only can adjust the length by itself to solve the problem of high difficulty in leveling the laundry treatment device 100, but also can make the foot 10 have more sufficient vibration reduction performance. During the operation of the laundry treatment device 100, if the load fluctuation of the foot 10 caused by the eccentric force leads to the relative movement of the column 12 and the base 11, the elastic element can also play a role in buffering and damping vibration, thereby maintaining the stability of the laundry treatment device 100 and reducing the noise of the laundry treatment device 100 during operation.

[0059] To realize the self-leveling function, the restoring force of the elastic element needs to be designed as follows: when the stud 1 is at the maximum length, the restoring force generated by the elastic element is F k0 , when the stud 1 is at the minimum length, the restoring force generated by the elastic element is F kmax , and the weight of the laundry treatment device 100 is G; F k0 , F kmax and G satisfy: G / 3>F kmax >F k0 >G / 4. Take the spring 3 as an example for illustration, Figure 3 and Figure 4 show two limit states of the elastic element (spring 3) in the foot 10. Figure 3 is the maximum length that the spring 3 can reach, that is, the initial length state of the foot 10 when it does not bear external force. At this time, the spring 3 has a certain compression amount and reserves the restoring force for the reset of the column 12. The restoring force of the spring 3 at this time is denoted as F k0 ; Figure 4The minimum length that the spring 3 can reach, at which the spring 3 has a restoring force F kmax When the feet 10 are not level, i.e. three feet 10 are in contact with the ground and one foot 10 is in the air, the single foot 10 of the three feet 10 in contact with the ground bears a load of G / 3, and it is required that G / 3>F kmax >F k0 >G / 4, so that the whole machine can have a sinking movement at the position of the three feet 10 in contact with the ground, until all four feet 10 are in contact with the ground, and the automatic leveling of the feet 10 is completed.

[0060] Further, when the feet 10 further comprise a friction surface, the self-leveling of the feet 10 can be assisted by the friction force, and correspondingly, the restoring force of the elastic element and the friction force of the friction surface can be designed as follows: F k0 >F c , so that the column 12 can be smoothly reset when the feet 10 are not subjected to external force; G / 3>F c +F kmax >F c +F k0 >G / 4; when the feet 10 are not level, i.e. three feet 10 are in contact with the ground and one foot 10 is in the air, the single foot 10 of the three feet 10 in contact with the ground bears a load of G / 3, and it is required that G / 3>F c +F kmax >F c +F k0 >G / 4, so that the whole machine can have a sinking movement at the position of the three feet 10 in contact with the ground, until all four feet 10 are in contact with the ground, and the automatic leveling of the feet 10 is completed.
