Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of clothing care devices, specifically to a cylindrical suspension structure for a clothing care device and a clothing care device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional washing machines are mostly square in shape. They usually consist of a frame and a drum. During assembly, the drum is generally installed directly to the frame and suspended inside the frame. That is, the drum is lower than the highest point of the frame to fit the space of the washing machine's outer shell.

[0003] However, as people's living standards improve, washing machines of different sizes and styles have gradually entered the market, and non-square-shaped washing machines have appeared. For example, washing machines shaped like spheres or eggs have emerged. The traditional hanging structure design is no longer applicable. If the traditional hanging structure design of suspending the drum inside the frame is still used, not only will the space of the washing machine shell need to be increased to meet the assembly requirements, resulting in an increase in the overall size of the washing machine, but the utilization rate of the washing machine shell space will also be reduced.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new approach to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0041] Example 1

[0042] This utility model embodiment provides a cylindrical suspension structure for a garment care device 1, combined with... Figures 1-7 As shown, it includes:

[0043] Frame 10 and lifting structure 30 and lug structure 40 for connecting cylinder 20 to frame 10; wherein,

[0044] One end of the hoisting structure 30 is connected to the cylinder 20, and the other end is installed with the lug structure 40;

[0045] The ear-hanging structure 40 is installed with the frame 10 and extends upward;

[0046] The hanging ear structure 40 protrudes from the upper surface of the frame 10 to expand the hanging range of the cylinder 20 when the lifting structure 30 suspends the cylinder 20.

[0047] In this embodiment, by adding a hanging lug structure 40 to the frame 10, and installing a lifting structure 30 through the hanging lug structure 40, the suspension range of the cylinder 20 can be expanded. It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, existing garment care devices 1 with non-square shapes, such as spherical or egg-shaped ones, would result in an increased housing volume and low utilization of the top space if a traditional suspension structure were still used. This is particularly detrimental to the miniaturization of small garment care devices. Therefore, the arrangement in this embodiment extends the suspension range of the cylinder 20 to the top space of the garment care device 1's housing, optimizing the layout and making reasonable use of the space inside the housing. This facilitates the miniaturization of the garment care device 1 and enhances its aesthetics. Furthermore, it increases the strength of the suspension structure, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of the cylinder 20's suspension, thereby ensuring the stability of the cylinder's operation.

[0048] Furthermore, the hanging height of the cylinder 20 is adjustable. The hanging height of the cylinder 20 can be adjusted by adjusting the installation height of the hanging lug structure 40, thereby quickly adapting to the top space of irregularly shaped housings. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when assembling the cylinder 20, the top of the cylinder 20 can be higher than the top of the frame 10, so that the top of the cylinder 20 can enter the top space of the housing, thus optimizing the assembly structure.

[0049] In some embodiments, the ear-hanging structure 40 is installed on the inner sidewall of the frame 10; in order to further improve the support force of the ear-hanging structure 40 and the stability of the suspension structure, in some preferred embodiments, the ear-hanging structure 40 is installed on the outer sidewall of the frame 10.

[0050] Furthermore, the ear-hanging structure 40 is installed on the upper part of the frame 10, which further optimizes the overall structure and is conducive to the miniaturization design of the whole machine.

[0051] In some embodiments, at least two hook structures 40 are provided, the hook structures 40 being respectively disposed on both sides of the cylindrical body 20. In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two hanging ear structures 40 are provided, which are respectively installed on the upper edges of the frame 10 on both sides of the cylinder 20 to enhance the stability of the suspension structure. It should be understood that multiple hanging ear structures 40 can also be arranged, with the multiple hanging ear structures 40 evenly distributed on both sides of the cylinder 20 to ensure that the cylinder 20 is subjected to uniform force.

[0052] In some embodiments, the lifting structure 30 includes a suspension spring; the suspension spring effectively reduces vibration and noise during drum operation, improves the overall balance of the machine, not only enhances the user experience but also extends the service life of the components of the garment care device 1. It should be noted that, depending on the actual design of different drums 20 and washing machine frames 10, the lifting structure 30 can also be configured as a rubber hanger, elastic rope structure, etc. That is, any lifting scheme that can suspend the drum 20 and provide elastic support and vibration buffering falls within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0053] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 4-7 As shown, the lug structure 40 includes a side plate 41 and a top plate 42. The side plate 41 is fixedly connected to the frame 10, and the top plate 42 is disposed on the top of the side plate 41 to jointly form the support for the suspension spring. In this embodiment, by dividing the lug structure 40 into a side plate 41 and a top plate 42, it is helpful to reasonably distribute the force and improve the stability of the structure. Furthermore, the arrangement of the top plate 42 helps to further improve the local stability at the connection between the lug structure 40 and the suspension spring. The reasonable layout and design can effectively bear and distribute the load.

[0054] Furthermore, the side plate 41 and the top plate 42 form lifting holes adapted to the suspension portion 31 of the suspension spring. Specifically, the side plate 41 has a first lifting hole 4111, and the top plate 42 has a second lifting hole 421. When the top plate 42 and the side plate 41 are combined, the second lifting hole 421 covers the first lifting hole 4111. When the suspension spring is installed, the suspension portion 31 passes through the second lifting hole 421 and the first lifting hole 4111 in sequence to be fixed with the lug structure 40. In some optional embodiments, the suspension portion 31 is in the shape of a hook.

[0055] Furthermore, the second lifting hole 421 is smaller than the first lifting hole 4111 to limit the installation position of the suspension part 31.

[0056] Furthermore, a limiting groove 422 is formed at the lifting hole of the top plate 42 to restrict the installation position of the suspension part 31. Specifically, two protrusions perpendicular to the surface of the top plate 42 are formed at the second lifting hole 421, and the two protrusions together form a U-shaped limiting groove 422. The U-shaped limiting groove 422 is adapted to the hook-shaped suspension part 31 to prevent the suspension part 31 from falling out of the lifting hole due to the vibration of the cylinder.

[0057] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 4-7As shown, the side plate 41 includes a vertical portion 411 and a bent portion 412. The vertical portion 411 is connected to the hoisting structure 30, and the bent portion 412 is fixed to the side wall of the frame 10. Specifically, the vertical portion 411 extends upward in the vertical direction, and the first hoisting hole 4111 is formed at the top of the vertical portion 411. Further, the side wall of the frame 10 is recessed to form a cavity 11, and the bent portion 412 is adapted to the shape of the cavity 11. When the side plate 41 is installed with the frame 10, the bent portion 412 fits against the cavity 11, and the cavity 11 provides additional support to the bent portion 412, thereby increasing the stability of the side plate 41 installation structure.

[0058] Furthermore, a clearance opening 13 is formed at the upper part of the cavity 11 to provide space for the suspension spring assembly and avoid structural interference.

[0059] Furthermore, the side wall of the frame 10 is provided with a slot 12, and a buckle 4121 is formed at the bottom of the bent portion 412. The buckle 4121 is assembled with the slot 12 to realize the positioning of the side plate 41. When installing the side plate 41, the buckle 4121 is first engaged with the slot 12, the bent portion 412 is fitted with the cavity 11, and then the side plate 41 is fixed to the frame 10 using fasteners such as screws or bolts. Furthermore, the side plate 41 and the top plate 42 are fixedly installed to each other by fasteners such as screws or bolts to ensure the stability of the overall structure.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] This utility model embodiment also provides a garment care device 1, combined with... Figures 1-7 As shown, the cylindrical suspension structure includes the garment care device 1 described in Embodiment 1.

[0062] In this embodiment, by adding a hanging ear structure 40 to the frame 10 and installing a hanging structure 30 through the hanging ear structure 40, the hanging range of the cylinder 20 can be expanded to the top space of the housing of the garment care device 1. This optimizes the layout, makes reasonable use of the space inside the housing, facilitates the miniaturization design of the garment care device 1, and improves its aesthetics. On the other hand, it can further increase the strength of the hanging structure, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of the cylinder 20 suspension.
