[0002] The suspension spring assembly of a washing machine has an important impact on the overall performance and user experience of the washing machine. First, the suspension spring assembly can effectively absorb and buffer the vibration generated during the operation of the washing machine, reduce noise transmission, and improve the smoothness of the washing process. It mainly connects the washing machine drum and the washing machine outer frame through the hanging parts at both ends of the suspension spring, so as to ensure a firm combination between the two and achieve the damping effect.

[0003] In the prior art, the traditional suspension spring assembly mainly consists of a spring and a fixed hanging part. The spring is responsible for providing elastic support to absorb vibration energy, while the fixed hanging part plays a role in connection and positioning to ensure the precise installation between the suspension spring and the drum and the outer frame.

[0004] However, when the traditional suspension spring assembly is in use, the whole suspension spring is of an integral structure. Once a certain component is damaged, the whole suspension spring assembly needs to be replaced, which increases the maintenance cost and complexity. At the same time, it also causes the problem of poor versatility on different models of washing machines. Therefore, the utility model provides a suspension spring assembly of a washing machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a hanging spring assembly for a washing machine, comprising: a main spring 1, a first connecting member 2 fixedly installed at one end of the main spring 1, a second connecting member 3 fixedly installed at the other end of the main spring 1, a fixing groove 4 provided in the first connecting member 2, a first hanging member 5 provided in the fixing groove 4, a limiting groove 9 provided on the side of the first connecting member 2, a limiting rod 6 inserted in the limiting groove 9, and a second hanging member 7 installed in the second connecting member 3;

[0023] In use, the first hanging piece 5 can be clipped onto the frame of the washing machine, and then clipped into the fixing groove 4 of the first connecting piece 2. The limiting rod 6 is clipped into the limiting groove 9, so that the first hanging piece 5 is fixed in the first connecting piece 2. Then, the second hanging piece 7 is installed in the second connecting piece 3 in the same way, and then clipped onto the hanging piece of the washing machine drum. This allows the hanging pieces at both ends of the suspension spring to be replaced according to the washing machine specifications, thereby reducing production costs and improving assembly efficiency. It achieves universality between different models of washing machines and avoids the problem of needing to redesign and manufacture special parts due to different washing machine specifications.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, to improve overall versatility, a first connector 2 is provided. The first connector 2 has a rectangular structure, and a fixing groove 4 is provided on its surface. The fixing groove 4 has a "convex" shaped cross-section. The first connector 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the main spring 1. A reinforcing plate 8 is fixedly installed on the surface of the first connector 2. The reinforcing plate 8 is located directly above the fixing groove 4 and has a "C" shaped structure. A fixing block 10 is fixedly installed on the first hanger 5. The fixing block 10 has a "convex" shaped cross-section and can be locked in the fixing groove 4. A reinforcing sleeve 11 is fitted on the outer wall of the first hanger 5, and the upper end of the first hanger 5 is locked in the sound-absorbing block 12.

[0025] To improve overall versatility, the model of the first hanging part 5 and the second hanging part 7 can be selected according to the model of the washing machine. The fixing blocks 10 of the first hanging part 5 and the second hanging part 7 are inserted into the fixing grooves 4 in the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3, thereby initially fixing the first hanging part 5 and the second hanging part 7.

[0026] The overall cross-section of the limiting slot 9 is square. The limiting slot 9 and the fixing slot 4 form a cross structure. The limiting rod 6 is inserted into the limiting slot 9. The side wall of the limiting rod 6 is attached to the side wall of one end of the fixing block 10. An installation screw 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the limiting rod 6. An installation slot is opened at one end of the limiting slot 9. The installation screw 14 is placed in the installation slot. An installation nut 15 is screwed onto the outside of the installation screw 14.

[0027] After the first hanging part 5 and the second hanging part 7 are initially fixed, the limiting rod 6 is inserted into the limiting slot 9, and then the mounting nut 15 is fixedly installed on the mounting screw 14 at one end of the limiting rod 6 to fix the limiting rod 6 as a whole. This makes the fixing block 10 inserted between the limiting rod 6 and the fixing slot 4, thereby fixing the first hanging part 5 and the second hanging part 7 and completing the installation of the overall hanging spring. This allows for matching the corresponding parts according to the washing machine model, improving the overall versatility.

[0028] Example 3: Based on Example 2, a noise-absorbing block 12 is provided to facilitate the use of the suspension spring. The noise-absorbing block 12 has an overall U-shaped structure. The upper end of the first hanger 5 is inserted into the groove of the noise-absorbing block 12, and the bottom of the noise-absorbing block 12 has an installation slot 13. The second connector 3 and the first connector 2 have an overall symmetrical structure. The second hanger 7 inserted in the second connector 3 is perpendicular to the position of the first hanger 5.

[0029] When installing the suspension spring, the silencing clip 12 on the suspension spring can be clipped onto the washing machine installation position to prevent the first hanging piece 5 from directly contacting the outer frame of the washing machine, thus avoiding wear and tear during operation and abnormal noise that would affect the overall use. At the same time, when installing the second hanging piece 7, the overall position angle can be changed according to the position of the drum connecting parts, thereby facilitating the use of the suspension spring as a whole.

[0030] In actual use, the first hanging piece 5 can be clipped onto the frame of the washing machine, and then clipped into the fixing groove 4 of the first connecting piece 2. The limiting rod 6 is clipped into the limiting groove 9, so that the first hanging piece 5 is fixed in the first connecting piece 2. Then, the second hanging piece 7 is installed in the second connecting piece 3 in the same way, and then clipped onto the hanging piece of the washing machine drum. This allows the hanging pieces at both ends of the suspension spring to be replaced according to the washing machine specifications, thereby reducing production costs and improving assembly efficiency. It achieves universality between different models of washing machines and avoids the problem of needing to redesign and manufacture special parts due to different washing machine specifications.

[0031] 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.
