Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of washing machine installation, specifically an embedded washing machine with a support structure. Background Technology
[0002] When installing a built-in washing machine, a certain gap is usually left between the built-in bracket and the side wall of the washing machine to allow for smooth placement. However, during operation, especially after prolonged use, these gaps may cause the machine body to collide with the side wall of the built-in bracket due to the shaking generated by the washing machine's operation, resulting in noise and potentially damage to the washing machine. To avoid such problems, the reserved gaps need to be properly filled and improved to effectively reduce noise and protect the washing machine body from impact damage. Therefore, we propose a built-in washing machine with a support structure. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an embedded washing machine with a support structure, comprising a washing machine body, a support structure and an adjustment device detachably connected to the support structure on the side wall of the washing machine body, the support structure including a mounting base connected to the side wall of the washing machine body, and a support plate connected to the side wall of the mounting base via a threaded rod, one end of the threaded rod being threadedly connected to the mounting base, and a gear being provided on the threaded rod; the adjustment device includes a handle, one end of which is fixedly connected to an arc plate, the inner side of the arc plate being provided with helical teeth, the helical teeth being capable of unidirectional meshing with the gear, and a spring being provided between the helical teeth and the arc plate.
[0004] Furthermore, the inner side of the arc plate is provided with a channel that allows the helical teeth to slide in, and a spring is provided in the channel.
[0005] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is provided on the outer side of the support plate, and the surface of the anti-slip pad is provided with anti-slip protrusions.
[0006] Furthermore, a retaining ring is provided at one end of the handrail. The retaining ring has an opening and can be detachably installed on the circumference of the mounting base. The retaining ring is made of rubber.
[0007] Furthermore, the arc plate is semi-circular, and the arc plate is provided with guard plates located on both sides of the gear.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0009] This utility model is suitable for installation in environments with relatively narrow operating spaces. During installation, after the main body of the washing machine is placed into the built-in cabinet, first ensure that it is roughly in place and adjusted to a reasonable position. Then, use the support structure to firmly fix the washing machine. First, expand the fixing ring of the handle and insert it into the circumference of the mounting base, ensuring that it is firmly fixed. Next, push the handle to drive the arc plate to rotate, causing the helical teeth on its inner side to engage with the gear in one direction. The gear drives the threaded rod to rotate, causing the support plate to slowly move outward, gradually filling the gap between the side wall of the washing machine and the built-in cabinet. After moving to a certain angle, rotate the handle in the opposite direction. After the helical teeth contact the teeth of the gear, they are pressed into the channel, forming a one-way engagement. Rotate the handle again, and the built-in spring provides an automatic return and locking function to adjust the support structure. After adjusting to a suitable position, the anti-slip pad and its anti-slip protrusions are in close contact with the side wall of the built-in cabinet, increasing friction and providing cushioning to ensure that the washing machine is firmly fixed and to prevent shaking or collision during operation. Finally, check whether all parts are locked to ensure that the washing machine is stably embedded, and the installation is complete. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Depend on Figure 1-4 The present invention includes a washing machine body 1, a support structure and an adjustment device detachably connected to the support structure on the side wall of the washing machine body 1, the support structure including a mounting base 2 connected to the side wall of the washing machine body 1, a support plate 4 connected to the side wall of the mounting base 2 by a threaded rod 3, one end of the threaded rod 3 being threadedly connected to the mounting base 2, and a gear 5 being provided on the threaded rod 3. The adjustment device includes a handle 6, one end of the handle 6 being fixedly connected to an arc plate 7, the inner side of the arc plate 7 being provided with helical teeth 8, the helical teeth 8 being able to mesh with the gear 5 in one direction, and a spring 9 being provided between the helical teeth 8 and the arc plate 7.
[0018] The inner side of the arc plate 7 is provided with a channel that allows the helical tooth 8 to slide in. A spring 9 is installed in the channel, and the channel can provide guidance for the movement of the helical tooth 8.
[0019] An anti-slip pad 10 is provided on the outer side of the support plate 4. The surface of the anti-slip pad 10 is provided with anti-slip protrusions. By providing the anti-slip pad 10 and anti-slip protrusions, the friction between the main body of the washing machine 1 and the side wall of its embedded part can be enhanced, and a cushioning effect can be provided.
[0020] One end of the handrail 6 is provided with a fixing ring 11. The fixing ring 11 has an opening and can be detachably installed on the circumference of the mounting base 2. The fixing ring 11 is made of rubber.
[0021] The arc plate 7 is semi-circular, and the arc plate 7 is provided with guard plates 12 located on both sides of the gear 5. The guard plates 12 help to accurately install the adjustment device on the support structure.
[0022] Working Principle: After the washing machine body 1 is inserted into the built-in cabinet, first ensure it is roughly in place and adjusted to a reasonable position. Then, use the support structure to firmly fix the washing machine. First, expand the fixing ring 11 of the handle 6 and insert it into the circumference of the mounting base 2, ensuring it is firmly fixed. Next, push the handle 6 to rotate the arc plate 7, causing the helical teeth 8 on its inner side to engage with the gear 5 in one direction. The gear 5 drives the threaded rod 3 to rotate, causing the support plate 4 to slowly move outward, gradually filling the gap between the side wall of the washing machine and the built-in cabinet. After moving to a certain angle, rotate the handle 6 in the opposite direction. The helical teeth 8 and the teeth of the gear 5 will contact and be pressed into the channel, forming a one-way engagement. Rotate the handle 6 again, and the built-in spring 9 provides an automatic return and locking function to adjust the support structure. After adjusting to a suitable position, the anti-slip pad 10 and its anti-slip protrusions are in close contact with the side wall of the built-in cabinet, increasing friction and providing cushioning to ensure the washing machine is firmly fixed and to prevent shaking or collision during operation. Finally, check whether all parts are locked to ensure the washing machine is stably embedded and the installation is complete.
