Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine technology, and in particular to a washing machine steamer gap adjustment mechanism and a washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] The gap between the inner drum and the door flange is the distance between the inner drum and the washing machine. Because the inner drum can deform during use, if the gap is too small, they will come into contact and wear down when the drum rotates. If the gap is too large, linens inside the drum will fall between them during washing, potentially tearing or jamming the drum when it rotates. Summary of the Invention

[0003] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a washing machine basket opening gap adjustment mechanism is provided, comprising: an outer tub of the washing machine, an inner rotating basket, a door flange, and a rubber strip;

[0004] The inner drum is rotatably located inside the outer tub of the washing machine;

[0005] The door flange is located at the opening of the outer tub of the washing machine;

[0006] The position of the rubber strip is adjustable on the door flange to control the gap between the rubber strip and the end of the inner rotating drum.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes: an adjustment module, which connects the rubber strip and the door flange, for adjusting the position of the rubber strip.

[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment module includes: a bushing and multiple fixing screws;

[0009] The bushing has multiple elongated holes;

[0010] Multiple fixing screws are passed through multiple elongated holes one by one to lock the bushing onto the door flange;

[0011] The rubber strip is set on the bushing.

[0012] Furthermore, the rubber strip is provided with an installation groove, through which the rubber strip is secured to the bushing.

[0013] Furthermore, the rubber strip is provided with a clearance groove, which is connected to the mounting groove.

[0014] According to another washing machine of the present invention, there is a washing machine basket gap adjustment mechanism of the previous embodiment.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a washing machine basket gap adjustment mechanism is provided with an adjustable rubber strip on the door flange. This changes the gap between the door flange and the inner drum to the gap between the rubber strip and the inner drum, thereby preventing the inner drum from deforming and contacting the door flange due to excessively small gaps, which would cause wear. Even if the inner drum deforms, it will only contact the rubber strip, further preventing wear on the inner drum. Furthermore, the gap can be actively adjusted to avoid excessively large gaps that could cause linens to break or the inner drum to become stuck.

[0016] It should be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the claimed technology. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0023] First, combine Figures 1-5 This invention describes a washing machine steamer opening gap adjustment mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used to adjust the steamer opening gap and has a wide range of applications.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a washing machine basket gap adjustment mechanism, comprising an outer drum 100, an inner rotating basket 200, a door flange 300, and a rubber strip 400.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the inner drum 200 is rotatably disposed inside the outer drum 100 of the washing machine.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the door flange 300 is located at the opening of the outer tub 100 of the washing machine.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the rubber strip 400 is adjustablely positioned on the door ring flange 300 to control the gap 600 between the rubber strip 400 and the end of the inner rotating cage 200, thereby protecting the inner rotating cage 200, preventing the inner rotating cage 200 from contacting the door ring flange 300, and preventing wear on the inner rotating cage 200.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a washing machine steamer opening gap adjustment mechanism according to an embodiment of this utility model further includes: an adjustment module, which connects a rubber strip 400 and a door flange 300, and is used to adjust the position of the rubber strip 400. The adjustment module includes: a bushing 501 and multiple fixing screws 502; the bushing 501 has multiple elongated holes 5011; the multiple fixing screws 502 pass through the multiple elongated holes 5011 one by one, locking the bushing 501 onto the door flange 300; the rubber strip 400 is disposed on the bushing 501. By providing multiple elongated holes 5011, the multiple fixing screws 502 can be locked at different positions within the corresponding elongated holes 5011, achieving the purpose of adjusting the position of the bushing 501, thereby adjusting the position of the rubber strip 400.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the rubber strip 400 is provided with an installation groove 401. The rubber strip 400 is secured to the bushing 501 through the installation groove 401, which facilitates disassembly and installation.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the rubber strip 400 is provided with a relief groove 402, which is connected to the mounting groove 401. The relief groove 402 is used to make room for the fixing screw 502, so as to facilitate installation and prevent installation interference.

[0031] In use, the positions of multiple fixing screws 502 locked in the corresponding elongated holes 5011 can be adjusted as needed to adjust the position of the bushing 501, thereby adjusting the position of the rubber strip 400 and controlling the gap 600 between the rubber strip 400 and the inner rotating cage 200.

[0032] As described above, in a washing machine basket gap adjustment mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable rubber strip 400 is provided on the door flange 300 to change the gap between the door flange 300 and the inner drum 200 to a gap 600 between the rubber strip 400 and the inner drum 200. This avoids the inner drum 200 from deforming and contacting the door flange 300 and causing wear due to an excessively small gap. With this design, even if the inner drum 200 deforms, it will only contact the rubber strip 400, further preventing wear on the inner drum 200. Moreover, the gap can be actively adjusted, avoiding the possibility of the linens being tangled or the inner drum 200 being jammed due to an excessively large gap.

[0033] The above combined with the appendix Figures 1-5 A washing machine basket gap adjustment mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to a washing machine.

[0034] According to another washing machine of the present invention, there is a washing machine basket gap adjustment mechanism of the previous embodiment.
