Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shock absorber technology, specifically a shock absorber structure for a washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Washing machine drums vibrate during operation. To reduce the impact of this vibration on the washing machine and its surrounding environment, specialized shock absorbers are typically installed. Currently, most washing machine shock absorbers are mounted on a mounting bracket at both ends using pins. During inspection and maintenance, these pins must be removed to detach the shock absorber from the washing machine. This process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and inconvenient for future maintenance and replacement. Therefore, a more ingenious and easily detachable shock absorber structure is needed for washing machines. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shock absorber structure for a washing machine to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shock absorber structure for a washing machine, comprising a shock absorber cylinder and a shock absorber column, wherein the shock absorber column is slidably sleeved within the shock absorber cylinder, characterized in that: a connecting component is installed at the top end of the shock absorber column and the bottom end of the shock absorber cylinder, the connecting component comprising a connecting column, a shaped locking block, a limiting column, and a spring, wherein a shaped locking groove adapted to the shaped locking block is opened at the top end of the connecting column, the shaped locking block is slidably locked within the shaped locking groove, a spring groove is opened at the bottom of the shaped locking block, a spring is provided in the spring groove, and a limiting column is connected to the bottom end of the spring, a limiting groove is opened in the shaped locking groove of the connecting column, a lifting slide groove communicating with the spring groove is opened on one side of the shaped locking block, a lifting ear is slidably provided in the lifting slide groove, and one end of the lifting ear is fixedly connected to the outer wall at the top end of the limiting column.

[0005] Preferably, in its natural state, the limiting post is engaged in the limiting groove.

[0006] Preferably, one end of the irregularly shaped card block is fixedly connected to a mounting base, and a stud is fixedly connected to the center of the end face of the connecting column away from the irregularly shaped card slot. The top end of the shock absorber column and the bottom end of the shock absorber cylinder are both provided with threaded holes adapted to the stud, and the stud is threadedly connected in the threaded hole.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom end of the limiting post is hemispherical, and the bottom of the lifting ear has an arc notch with anti-slip protrusions inside the arc notch.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0009] This invention features a connecting assembly on the shock absorber cylinder and shock absorber column. Utilizing the cooperation of the components within this assembly, when maintenance is required, pulling the pull tab compresses the spring, separating the limiting post from the limiting groove. Then, the irregularly shaped locking block slides out of the irregularly shaped groove of the connecting post, allowing the shock absorber cylinder and column to be easily and quickly removed from the washing machine. Pushing the irregularly shaped locking block into the irregularly shaped groove, under the action of the spring, presses the limiting post into the limiting groove, thus fixing the connecting assembly to the shock absorber cylinder and column. The entire device has an ingenious structure, is easy and quick to assemble and disassemble, and greatly facilitates the later maintenance and replacement of the shock absorber.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a technical solution: a shock absorber structure for a washing machine, comprising a shock absorber cylinder 1 and a shock absorber column 2, wherein the shock absorber column 2 is slidably sleeved within the shock absorber cylinder 1. The characteristic feature is that a connecting assembly 3 is installed at both the top end of the shock absorber column 2 and the bottom end of the shock absorber cylinder 1. The connecting assembly 3 includes a connecting column 31, a shaped locking block 33, a limiting column 35, and a spring 37. A shaped locking groove 31a adapted to the shaped locking block 33 is provided at the top end of the connecting column 31, and the shaped locking block 33 is slidably engaged in the shaped locking groove 31a. Inside, the bottom of the irregularly shaped card block 33 is provided with a spring groove 33b, and a spring 37 is provided in the spring groove 33b. The bottom end of the spring 37 is connected to a limiting post 35. The irregularly shaped card groove 31a of the connecting post 31 is provided with a limiting groove 31b. When the spring 37 is not under force, the limiting post 35 is engaged in the limiting groove 31b. A lifting slide groove 33a communicating with the spring groove 33b is provided on one side of the irregularly shaped card block 33. A lifting ear 36 is slidably provided in the lifting slide groove 33a. One end of the lifting ear 36 is fixedly connected to the outer wall at the top of the limiting post 35.

[0018] Furthermore, one end of the irregularly shaped card block 33 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 34, and the center of the end face of the connecting column 31 away from the irregularly shaped card slot 31a is fixedly connected to the stud 32. The top end of the shock absorber column 2 and the bottom end of the shock absorber cylinder 1 are both provided with threaded holes 21 that are adapted to the stud 32, and the stud 32 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole 21.

[0019] Furthermore, after the mounting base 34 of the connecting component 3 is installed on the shock absorber mounting base of the washing machine using a pin, the device is fixed.

[0020] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, when the device needs maintenance, the pull tab 36 is pulled up to compress the spring 37, separating the limiting post 35 from the limiting groove 31b. Then, the irregularly shaped locking block 33 is slid out from the irregularly shaped locking groove 31a of the connecting post 31. At this time, the shock absorber cylinder 1 and the shock absorber post 2 are separated from the irregularly shaped locking block 33 of the connecting assembly 3, and the shock absorber cylinder 1 and the shock absorber post 2 are removed from the washing machine.

[0022] Conversely, when the irregularly shaped block 33 is pushed into the irregularly shaped slot 31a of the connecting post 31, the limiting post 35 is moved to the top of the limiting slot 31b. Under the action of the spring 37, the limiting post 35 is pressed into the limiting slot 31b, thus fixing the irregularly shaped block 33 and the connecting post 31 together.

[0023] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
