[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 2-8 The diagram shows a support assembly for a commercial washing machine according to this embodiment, used to support and fix the pulsator washing machine. The support assembly includes a support base 1 and a support plate 2. The support base 1 is fixed to the ground with fasteners. The support base 1 has two side plates 11 arranged at intervals. The rear ends of the two side plates 11 are connected by a sealing plate. The inner walls of the side plates 11 are machined with front-to-back extending insertion guide grooves 12. The support plate 2 is arranged between the two side plates 11, and its left and right sides can be inserted into the corresponding insertion guide grooves 12, allowing the support plate 2 to be installed on the support base 1 in a front-to-back movable insertion manner. Several sets of rollers 7 are distributed and installed on the bottom surface of the support plate 2. These rollers 7 are omnidirectional casters. By reasonably designing the height of the insertion guide grooves 12, a clearance is formed between the rollers 7 and the bottom of the support base 1 when the support plate 2 is inserted into the support platform. With the above structural design, when the support plate 2 is pulled out of the support base 1, the roller 7 can contact the ground, allowing the support plate 2 to move freely.

[0029] In the specific structural design, the insertion guide groove 12 includes a first front and rear extension section 121 and a first oblique extension section 122 extending downward from the front end of the first front and rear extension section 121. Through the guidance of the first oblique extension section 122, the support plate 2 can be guided to be inserted into the support base 1, and the insertion process of the support plate 2 is smooth and stable.

[0030] A support structure 13 is installed between the side plates 11 on both sides of the support base 1. The support structure 13 includes a second front-rear extension section 131 and a second oblique extension section 132 extending downward from the front end of the second front-rear extension section 131. The position of the second front-rear extension section 131 coincides with the position of the first front-rear extension section 121, and the position of the second oblique extension section 132 coincides with the position of the first oblique extension section 122. When the support plate 2 is inserted into the support base 1, the support structure 13 abuts against the support plate 2 vertically, thereby supporting the middle part of the support plate 2.

[0031] A bolt 8 is inserted through the front side of the support base 1. A threaded hole is machined on the support plate 2 corresponding to the bolt 8. When the support plate 2 is inserted into the predetermined position on the support base 1, the bolt 8 engages with the threaded hole to lock the support plate 2 onto the support base 1. The support plate 2 can be moved in and out of the support base 1 by removing the bolt 8. The bolt 8's location on the front side of the support base 1 improves the ease of assembly and disassembly.

[0032] In this embodiment, a support position 21 for supporting the washing machine is arranged on the top surface of the aforementioned support plate 2. Four protrusions are arranged at the four corners of the support position 21, corresponding to the four corners of the washing machine. The four corners of the washing machine are placed on these support protrusions and locked to the support plate 2 by studs. A water inlet guide pipe 3 and a drain guide pipe 4 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the support position 21 on the support plate 2. Both the water inlet guide pipe 3 and the drain guide pipe 4 have a detachable pipe port 541 extending to the front side near the support plate 2 and a connecting pipe port 521 extending to the rear side of the support position 21. The connecting pipe port 521 on the water inlet guide pipe 3 is connected to the water inlet of the washing machine via a flexible hose, and the connecting pipe port 521 on the drain guide pipe 4 is connected to the drain outlet of the washing machine via a flexible hose. The detachable pipe port 541 on the water inlet guide pipe 3 is connected to an external water inlet pipe, and the detachable pipe port 541 on the drain guide pipe 4 is connected to an external drain pipe.

[0033] In the specific structural design, both the inlet guide pipe 3 and the drain guide pipe 4 include a third front and rear extension section 51, and a left and right extension section 52 formed by bending and extending from the rear end of the third front and rear extension section 51 towards the support position 21. An upper and lower extension section 53 is formed by bending upwards or downwards from the front end of the third front and rear extension section 51, and a fourth front and rear extension section 54 is formed by bending and extending backwards from the tail end of the upper and lower extension section 53. A disassembly / removal port 541 is formed at the tail end of the fourth front and rear extension section 54, and the aforementioned connecting port 521 is formed at the tail end of the left and right extension sections 52. Conventionally, the inlet and drain pipes are arranged on the rear side of the support base 1, with the disassembly / removal port 541 facing rearwards to improve the convenience of connecting to the inlet and drain pipes. Threaded sections are machined on the outer walls of the connecting port 521 and the disassembly / removal port 541. The drain pipe and the inlet pipe are connected to the threaded sections via flexible hoses for communication.

[0034] In this embodiment, several insertion rods 6 are fixedly distributed on the inlet guide pipe 3 and the drain guide pipe 4, and the insertion rods 6 extend vertically. A through-tube 22 is installed on the top surface of the support plate 2 corresponding to the insertion rods 6. The insertion rods 6 and the through-tubes 22 at corresponding positions are inserted vertically. Through the cooperation of the insertion rods 6 and the through-tubes 22, the inlet guide pipe 3 and the drain guide pipe 4 can be disassembled from the support plate 2, facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the inlet guide pipe 3 and the drain guide pipe 4.

[0035] In practical use, each support platform is fixed side-by-side at a predetermined ground position. Remove support plate 2 from the support platform, fix the washing machine onto support plate 2, and then connect the water inlet of the washing machine to the connecting port 521 on the water inlet guide pipe 3 via a flexible hose. Connect the drain outlet of the washing machine to the connecting port 521 on the drain guide pipe 4 via a flexible hose. Push support plate 2 to move it into the predetermined position within the insertion guide groove 12. Finally, connect the flexible hose on the water inlet pipe to the disassembly port 541 on the water inlet guide pipe 3, and connect the flexible hose on the drain pipe to the disassembly port 541 on the drain guide pipe 4. Finally, lock support plate 2 onto support base 1 using the bolt 8 on the front side. For disassembly, loosen the flexible hose connected to the disassembly port 541 and pull out support plate 2. In the above method, the water inlet guide pipe 3 and the drain guide pipe 4 extend the disassembly port 541 to the front side near the support plate 2 to increase the operating space and facilitate the disassembly of the drain pipe connected to the disassembly port 541 of the drain guide pipe 4. The support plate 2 is installed on the support base 1 by inserting it in front and behind. By pushing and pulling the support plate 2 and rolling it with the support of the rollers 7, the support plate 2 can move the washing machine in and out of the support platform 1, which can increase the disassembly and assembly operating space of the washing machine. The disassembly and assembly of the washing machine is convenient and quick, saving time and effort, and effectively meeting the disassembly and maintenance needs of commercial washing machines in narrow spaces.
