Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drum washing machines, specifically a suspension spring assembly for drum washing machines. Background Technology
[0002] A washing machine drum suspension spring refers to a suspension spring used in the washing machine drum. The suspension spring is used to facilitate the elastic connection between the outer drum and the outer casing. Since the inner drum will generate a lot of shaking during operation, it is necessary to connect the inner drum and release the shaking force. Therefore, the suspension spring is a good choice. However, since both ends of the suspension spring are closed rings, the installation with the fixing ring or fastener on the outer casing is inconvenient. Alternatively, the fixing ring or fastener with an open end may also pose installation risks.
[0003] Application number CN200820036661.X discloses a suspension spring for a drum washing machine, mainly relating to the washing machine's casing and drum assembly. The suspension spring has an upper hook that suspends from the upper corner of the inner side of the casing, which is equipped with a pad. The lower part of the suspension spring is a semi-closed hook that hooks into the suspension hole of the drum assembly. The lower part of the drum assembly is also connected to the casing via a shock absorber. The key feature is that the hook is semi-circular, while the corresponding suspension spring support pad is arc-shaped. After the suspension spring is assembled, the hook rotates around the suspension spring support pad. With the suspension spring described in this invention, the upper hook of the drum washing machine's suspension spring makes arc-shaped contact with the suspension spring support pad of the casing. During movement, the suspension spring rotates around the support pad, resulting in less friction. During the washing machine's spin cycle, the vibration force transmitted to the casing is significantly improved, resulting in a significant effect of vibration reduction and noise reduction.
[0004] However, in the above technical solution, the suspension spring cannot be firmly installed, cannot be fixed in the wind direction, and is easy to detach from the outer shell. Therefore, this utility model proposes a suspension spring assembly for drum washing machines to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

The surface of the traction rod 18 is fitted with a damping rubber ring 25, which can increase the friction between the traction rod 18 and the side of the lifting groove 23. Then, the elastic force of the return spring 22 is used to push the limiting rod 15, thereby improving the stability of the fixed limiting rod 15.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
