Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine technology, specifically to a multi-zone washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards continue to improve, people are demanding more from the details of daily life. For example, when washing clothes, people sort them for washing, and the types of sorting are becoming increasingly diverse. To meet this demand, multi-zone washing machines have emerged on the market.

[0003] For example, a vertically stacked double-drum integrated model, as disclosed in CN201310289777.X, uses a double-drum design. The lower drum is a large-capacity drum with a capacity of 7-12kg and a diameter of 450-540mm, responsible for washing main garments; the upper drum is a small-capacity drum with a capacity of 3-5kg and a diameter of 200-250mm, responsible for washing children's clothes or underwear. Another example is a multi-drum integrated model, as disclosed in CN202310308156.5, which consists of a conventional 7-12kg large-capacity drum, a 3-5kg small-capacity drum, and two mini drums with a capacity of less than 1kg, to meet the needs of a family with more separate washing areas.

[0004] For washing machines with the above-mentioned structure, due to the limitations of the washing drum volume and the height of the machine body, there are problems with the overall installation strength and vibration stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multi-zone washing machine that can strengthen the overall strength of the machine and thus improve the vibration stability of the machine, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0007] A multi-zone washing machine includes a frame and an upper drum and a lower drum disposed within the frame. A small partition structure is further provided between the upper drum and the lower drum. A first reinforcing plate is provided at the top of the frame and connected to the upper drum via a first shock absorber. A second reinforcing plate is provided at the bottom of the frame and connected to the lower drum via a second shock absorber. The small partition structure is a drawer-type washing assembly with a top loading opening. A third reinforcing plate is provided in the middle of the frame, which can be used to install a slide rail assembly for the drawer-type washing assembly and can be connected to the upper drum and the lower drum respectively via the shock absorber structure.

[0008] This utility model incorporates upper, middle, and lower reinforcing structures within its frame. The upper reinforcing structure connects to the shock-absorbing components of the upper cylinder, while the lower reinforcing structure connects to the shock-absorbing components of the lower cylinder. The middle reinforcing structure, in addition to connecting the upper and lower cylinder reinforcing structures, also serves to install the slide rail assembly of the drawer-type cleaning component. This utilizes the installation structure of the drawer-type cleaning component to reinforce the entire machine in the middle of the frame, significantly improving the overall installation strength and enhancing the vibration stability of the machine.

[0009] Preferably, the third reinforcing plate includes a first sheet metal and a second sheet metal disposed on both sides of the middle of the frame.

The upper part of the lower cylinder is connected to the lower part of the inner wall of the first sheet metal and the second sheet metal through a fifth shock absorber. The middle part of the first sheet metal and the second sheet metal is used to install the slide rail assembly. With the above structure, the connection of the shock-absorbing structures of the upper and lower cylinders is facilitated. By using the first sheet metal and the second sheet metal for installing the slide rail assembly to reinforce the middle of the frame, not only is the installation space of the frame fully utilized, but the shock absorption effect of the upper and lower cylinder shock-absorbing structures is further improved.

The first slide rail support arm is positioned close to the first sheet metal piece, and the second slide rail support arm is positioned close to the second sheet metal piece. The drawer-type cleaning assembly is slidably constrained between the first and second slide rail support arms. The U-shaped sheet metal piece forms a cage-within-a-cage reinforcement structure in the middle of the frame, which helps to further improve the reinforcement effect in the middle of the frame.

[0011] Preferably, the first slide rail support arm is formed as a first U-shaped groove with its cross-section facing the second slide rail support arm, and the second slide rail support arm is formed as a second U-shaped groove with its cross-section facing the first slide rail support arm. The first and second U-shaped grooves are respectively provided with slide rails that mate with the corresponding side walls of the drawer-type cleaning assembly. This structure facilitates the use of the reinforced structure itself to install slide rails, improving space utilization and vibration stability.

[0012] Preferably, the first reinforcing plate is an upper sheet metal piece disposed on the inner side of the two crossbeams extending forward and backward at the top of the frame. This upper sheet metal piece is integrally formed with the crossbeams extending forward and backward at the top of the frame and extends from top to bottom. This structure is simple, easy to install, and can meet the vibration strength requirements of the upper cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the second reinforcing plate includes a lower sheet metal component located at the bottom of the frame and extending between adjacent vertical beams. The lower sheet metal component comprises four sets, respectively arranged corresponding to the front, rear, left, and right side walls of the frame. This structure strengthens the bottom of the frame to improve its stability.

[0014] Preferably, the second reinforcing plate further includes a bottom sheet metal part located at the bottom of the frame and forming the lower wall of the frame. This bottom sheet metal part is integrally formed with the lower sheet metal part, and the second shock absorber is connected to the bottom sheet metal part. This structure facilitates production and assembly, while further improving the reinforcement and stability of the bottom of the frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model sets up upper, middle and lower reinforcing structures in the frame. The upper reinforcing structure is used to connect the shock absorber of the upper cylinder, the lower reinforcing structure is used to connect the shock absorber of the lower cylinder, and the middle reinforcing structure is used to connect the upper and lower cylinder reinforcing structures and also to install the slide rail assembly of the drawer-type cleaning component. Thus, the installation structure of the drawer-type cleaning component is used to reinforce the whole machine in the middle of the frame, which greatly improves the installation strength of the whole machine and helps to improve the vibration stability of the whole machine.
