[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a washing machine suspension spring mounting structure, including a drum 3 located inside the washing machine body 1. The washing machine suspension spring mounting structure includes a tub hoop 4 and a suspension spring 10. A sealing door 2 is rotatably connected to the surface of the washing machine body 1. The opening and closing of the sealing door 2 controls the closed state of the drum 3. The inner wall of the washing machine body 1 contacts the drum 3. The opening of the drum 3 is in sealed contact with the sealing door 2. The washing machine body 1 can drive the internal components of the drum 3 to rotate. The tub hoop 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the drum 3. The tub hoop 4 improves the stability of the drum 3 and makes the whole assembly easier to install. Two hooks 6 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the surface of the tub hoop 4. By setting the hooks 6, the drum 3 can actively hook the suspension spring 10.

[0020] Two hooks 1 and 2 are fixedly connected to the upper sides of the inner wall of the washing machine body 1. Each hook 1 and hook 2 is hooked to a fixing ring 13. The fixing ring 13 makes it easy to fix the spring 10. The inner arc surface of hook 1 is provided with a sliding groove 8. The sliding groove 8 contacts the limiting rod 9. There are two springs 10. The two springs 10 are symmetrically located on both sides inside the washing machine body 1. The springs 10 can play a shock absorption role for the drum 3. The horizontal height of the spring 10 is higher than that of the drum 3. One end of each hook 1 and hook 2 is rotatably connected to a limiting rod 9. The limiting rod 9 can close the hook 1 and hook 2. The other end of the limiting rod 9 is located in the sliding groove 8. Each hook 1 and hook 2 is threadedly connected to a fixing bolt 7.
