Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine technology, and in particular to a vibration damping support device and a washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional washing machines suspend the drum from the cabinet using suspension springs and vibration dampers. The suspension springs act as elastic elements for vibration isolation, while the vibration dampers act as damping elements to attenuate vibrations. The suspension springs and vibration dampers are connected to the upper and lower ends of the outer drum and the cabinet, respectively. This structure is loose and not compact enough, taking up a lot of space inside the cabinet and affecting the arrangement of other components. At the same time, the traditional suspension system requires a separate component (suspension spring and vibration damper) to achieve the functions of vibration isolation and vibration attenuation, resulting in a large number of components and complexity. Traditional suspension systems, especially those that make up the vibration dampers, have many components, and both ends are connected to the drum and cabinet by pins. During the spin cycle, the relative movement of these components generates significant structural noise. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of existing suspension systems, such as loose structure, many parts, large volume, and easy noise generation, and to provide a vibration damping support device and a washing machine.

[0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides a vibration damping support device, which is used to connect the drum of a washing machine to the casing of the washing machine. The vibration damping support device is disposed at the lower end of the drum and supports the drum. The vibration damping support device includes:

[0006] An elastic element includes a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a deformable portion made of an elastic material. The two ends of the deformable portion are respectively connected to the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are non-collinear due to the connection of the deformable portion. The first connecting portion is used to connect to the cylinder, and the second connecting portion is used to connect to the box. The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are configured to move closer to or further away from each other due to the elastic deformation of the deformable portion as the weight of the cylinder changes.

[0007] A damping element is connected to the deformable portion, and the damping element is capable of deforming in response to the elastic deformation of the deformable portion.

[0008] In this design, the vibration damping support device includes an elastic element and a damping element. The elastic element is connected to the cylinder and the box body respectively through a first connecting part and a second connecting part at both ends. The deformable part, made of elastic material, has elasticity. The first connecting part and the second connecting part are non-collinear due to their connection through the deformable part. When the weight of the cylinder changes, the deformable part elastically deforms, causing the first connecting part and the second connecting part to move closer or further apart, thereby isolating the cylinder. In addition, the deformable part is also connected to the damping element. The deformation of the deformable part causes the damping element to deform, thereby achieving a damping and vibration reduction effect. The vibration damping support device achieves vibration isolation and reduction effects with only two parts: the elastic element and the damping element. This reduces the number of parts, eliminates the traditional method of vibration damper and suspension spring, makes the structure more compact, significantly reduces the space occupied by the box body, avoids the relative movement of traditional rigid connection structural components, and avoids structural noise generated by component operation.

[0009] Preferably, at least a portion of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are disposed opposite to each other.

[0010] In this solution, by arranging at least a portion of the first connecting part and the second connecting part opposite to each other, the first connecting part and the second connecting part can be more easily brought closer or further apart, the elastic effect of the elastic element is better, and the structure is more compact, further reducing the space occupied by the box.

[0011] Preferably, the damping element is sleeved on the outer periphery of the deformable part, and the damping element is in contact with the outer side wall of the deformable part;

[0012] And / or, the deformable portion is an arc-shaped structure, and there is an opening between the end of the first connecting portion away from the deformable portion and the end of the second connecting portion away from the deformable portion.

[0013] In this design, by fitting the damping element onto the deformable portion and attaching it to the outer wall of the variable portion, the elastic deformation of the variable portion can be fully transmitted to the damping element, thereby improving the vibration reduction effect of the damping element. By setting the deformable portion as an arc-shaped structure and having an opening between the end of the first connecting portion away from the deformable portion and the end of the second connecting portion away from the deformable portion, the elastic deformation of the deformable portion can be achieved with a simple structure, making the production and manufacturing of the elastic element easier.

[0014] Preferably, the damping element is located in the middle of the deformable portion or at one end near the first connecting portion.

[0015] In this solution, when the vibration damping support device is used, the strain is greater in the middle of the deformable part or near the first connection part. By placing the damping element in the middle of the deformable part or near the end of the first connection part, the deformation of the deformable part can be better transmitted to the damping element, thereby further improving the vibration damping effect of the damping element.

[0016] Preferably, the width of the deformable portion is smaller than the width of the first connecting portion;

[0017] And / or, the width of the deformable portion is smaller than the width of the second connecting portion.

[0018] In this solution, by setting the width of the deformable part to be smaller than the width of the first connecting part, and / or setting the width of the deformable part to be smaller than the width of the second connecting part, the deformable part is made to deform more easily, thereby improving the elastic deformation effect of the elastic element.

[0019] Preferably, the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the deformable part are integrally formed.

[0020] In this solution, by integrally molding the first connecting part, the second connecting part, and the deformable part, it is easier to manufacture the elastic element, and at the same time, it can improve the structural strength of the elastic element, making the elastic element less prone to damage and extending its service life.

[0021] Preferably, the vibration damping support device further includes a first support frame for connection to the cylinder body, wherein the connecting surface of the first support frame to the cylinder body matches the shape of the outer side wall of the cylinder body, the first connecting part is connected to the first support frame, and the first connecting part is in contact with the first support frame.

[0022] In this solution, by setting a first support frame and matching the connecting surface of the first support frame to the outer wall shape of the cylinder, the first support frame can be more stably connected to the cylinder. The first connecting part is connected to the first support frame and fitted to the first support frame, so that the gravity change of the cylinder can be better transmitted to the first connecting part through the first support frame. The overall structure is more stable, and the vibration isolation and damping effects are further improved.

[0023] Preferably, the vibration damping support device further includes a second support frame for connecting to the housing, the second connecting portion being connected to the second support frame, and the second connecting portion being fitted to the second support frame;

[0024] And / or, the first end of the second support frame is used to connect to the inner wall surface of the box, and the second end is used to extend toward the interior of the box. From the first end to the second end of the second support frame, the support frame is inclined downward, and the inclination direction of the second connecting part is consistent with the inclination direction of the second support frame.

[0025] In this design, by connecting the second connecting part to the second support frame and fitting the second connecting part to the second support frame, the elastic element can be more securely connected to the housing. This also extends the distance between the elastic element and the inner wall of the housing, further distancing the cylinder from the inner wall and preventing collisions between the cylinder and the housing during movement. Furthermore, by tilting the support frame downwards, and aligning the tilt direction of the second connecting part with that of the second support frame, the elastic element can better withstand the oblique force applied during cylinder movement, thus better utilizing its elasticity and further enhancing vibration isolation and damping effects.

[0026] This utility model also provides a washing machine, which includes a cabinet, a drum, and the aforementioned vibration damping support device.

[0027] Preferably, there are two cylinders, and the vibration damping support devices are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cylinders; or,

[0028] There are at least three cylinders, and adjacent cylinders are connected to each other. The two cylinders at both ends are connected to the box body through the vibration damping support device.

[0029] In this design, when there are two cylinders, the vibration damping support devices are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cylinder, allowing them to bear force evenly from both sides of the cylinder, further improving vibration isolation and damping effects. When there are at least three cylinders, adjacent cylinders are interconnected, with the two cylinders at each end connected to the housing via vibration damping support devices. The weight of multiple cylinders is applied to the vibration damping support devices at both ends, thus ensuring good vibration isolation and resistance even with multiple cylinders.

[0030] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0031] The vibration damping support device includes an elastic element and a damping element. The elastic element is connected to the cylinder and the box body respectively through a first connecting part and a second connecting part at both ends. Made of elastic material, the deformable element possesses elasticity. The first and second connecting parts are non-collinear due to the connection of the deformable part. When the weight of the cylinder changes, the elastic deformation of the deformable part causes the first and second connecting parts to move closer or further apart, thus isolating the cylinder. In addition, the deformable part is also connected to the damping element. The deformation of the deformable part causes the damping element to deform, thereby achieving a damping and vibration reduction effect. The vibration damping support device achieves vibration isolation and reduction effects with only two parts: the elastic element and the damping element. This reduces the number of components, eliminates the traditional method of vibration dampers and suspension springs, resulting in a more compact structure, significantly reducing the space occupied by the box body, avoiding the relative movement of traditional rigidly connected structural components, and preventing structural noise generated by component operation.

[0054] The present invention will be further described below by way of embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the following embodiments.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a washing machine 100, which includes a cabinet 110, a drum 120, and a vibration damping support device 130. The vibration damping support device 130 is used to connect the drum 120 of the washing machine 100 to the cabinet 110 of the washing machine 100, and the vibration damping support device 130 is disposed at the lower end of the drum 120 and supports the drum 120.

[0056] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the vibration damping support device 130 includes an elastic element 200 and a damping element 300. The elastic element 200 includes a first connecting portion 210, a second connecting portion 220, and a deformable portion 230 made of elastic material. The two ends of the deformable portion 230 are respectively connected to the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220. The first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 are non-collinear due to the connection of the deformable portion 230. The first connecting portion 210 is used to connect to the cylinder 120, and the second connecting portion 220 is used to connect to the box 110. The first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 are configured to move closer to or further away from each other due to the elastic deformation of the deformable portion 230 as the weight of the cylinder 120 changes. The damping element 300 is connected to the deformable portion 230 and can deform with the elastic deformation of the deformable portion 230.

[0057] The elastic element 200 is connected to the cylinder 120 and the box 110 respectively through the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 at both ends. The deformable portion 230, made of elastic material, has elasticity. The elastic material used to make the elastic element 200 can be spring steel or similar materials. The first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 are non-collinear due to the connection of the deformable portion 230. When the weight of the cylinder 120 changes, the deformable portion 230 elastically deforms, causing the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 to move closer or further apart, thereby isolating the cylinder 120 from vibration. In addition, the deformable portion 230 is also connected to a damping element 300. The deformation of the deformable portion 230 causes the damping element 300 to deform, thereby achieving a damping and vibration reduction effect. The vibration damping support device 130 achieves vibration isolation and damping effects with only two parts: elastic element 200 and damping element 300. This reduces the number of parts, eliminates the traditional method of vibration damper and suspension spring, and makes the structure more compact. It significantly reduces the space occupied by the housing 110, avoids the relative movement of traditional rigid connection structural components, and avoids structural noise generated by component operation.

[0058] At least a portion of the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 are arranged opposite each other. By arranging at least a portion of the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 opposite each other, the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 can be more easily brought closer together or further apart, resulting in a better elastic effect of the elastic element 200. This also makes the structure more compact and further reduces the space occupied by the housing 110. In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 are arranged opposite each other, thereby improving the elastic effect of the elastic element 200. In other embodiments, the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 may also be partially opposite each other or staggered. Those skilled in the art can select the arrangement position of the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 according to the actual situation.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the damping element 300 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the deformable portion 230, and the damping element 300 is in contact with the outer wall of the deformable portion 230. By sleeved on the deformable portion 230 and in contact with the outer wall of the deformable portion, the elastic deformation of the deformable portion can be fully transmitted to the damping element 300, thereby improving the vibration reduction effect of the damping element 300. In this embodiment, the damping element 300 is made of rubber, and the way the damping element 300 is in contact with the deformable portion 230 can better transmit deformation. In other embodiments, the damping element 300 may also be made of other materials that are deemed suitable by those skilled in the art, and those skilled in the art can choose a suitable way of setting the damping element 300 according to actual needs.

[0060] like Figure 5As shown, the deformable portion 230 is an arc-shaped structure 231, and an opening 240 is formed between the end of the first connecting portion 210 away from the deformable portion 230 and the end of the second connecting portion 220 away from the deformable portion 230. By setting the deformable portion 230 as an arc-shaped structure 231 and having an opening 240 between the end of the first connecting portion 210 away from the deformable portion 230 and the end of the second connecting portion 220 away from the deformable portion 230, elastic deformation of the deformable portion 230 can be achieved with a simple structure, making the production and manufacturing of the elastic element 200 easier. In other embodiments, the deformable portion 230 may also be a polygonal structure or a combination of multiple arc-shaped structures. Those skilled in the art can choose the specific shape of the deformable portion 230 according to the actual situation.

[0061] In this embodiment, the elastic element 200 has an opening 240, which is oriented obliquely upward and towards the outside of the cylinder 120. In other embodiments, the elastic element 200 may not have an opening 240, or may have other specific shapes that are deemed suitable by those skilled in the art.

[0062] The damping element 300 is disposed in the middle of the deformable portion 230 or near one end of the first connecting portion 210. When the vibration damping support device 130 is in use, the strain is greater in the middle of the deformable portion 230 or near the first connecting portion 210. By disposing of the damping element 300 in the middle of the deformable portion 230 or near one end of the first connecting portion 210, the deformation of the deformable portion 230 can be better transmitted to the damping element 300, thereby further improving the vibration damping effect of the damping element 300.

[0063] In this embodiment, the damping element 300 is a cuboid structure made of rubber. The damping element 300 has a through hole, and the deformable part 230 passes through the through hole. The inner sidewall of the through hole is in contact with the damping element 300.

[0064] The width of the deformable portion 230 is smaller than the width of the first connecting portion 210, and the width of the deformable portion 230 is smaller than the width of the second connecting portion 220. By setting the width of the deformable portion 230 to be smaller than the width of the first connecting portion 210 and the width of the second connecting portion 220, the deformable portion 230 is more prone to deformation, resulting in a better elastic deformation effect of the elastic element 200. In other embodiments, the width of the deformable portion 230 may be set to be smaller than the width of the first connecting portion 210, or the width of the deformable portion 230 may be set to be smaller than the width of the second connecting portion 220.

[0065] The first connecting portion 210, the second connecting portion 220, and the deformable portion 230 are integrally formed. By integrally forming these components, the production and manufacturing of the elastic element 200 are facilitated, and the structural strength of the elastic element 200 is improved, making it less prone to damage and extending its service life. In other embodiments, the first connecting portion 210, the second connecting portion 220, and the deformable portion 230 can be manufactured separately and then assembled, or one of the first connecting portion 210 and the second connecting portion 220 can be combined with the deformable portion 230, while the other can be manufactured separately and then assembled with the deformable portion 230. Those skilled in the art can choose the appropriate manufacturing method according to the actual situation.

[0066] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the vibration damping support device 130 also includes a first support frame 400 for connection to the cylinder 120. The connecting surface of the first support frame 400 to the cylinder 120 matches the shape of the outer side wall of the cylinder 120. The first connecting part 210 is connected to the first support frame 400 and fits against the first support frame 400.

[0067] By setting a first support frame 400 and matching the connecting surface of the first support frame 400 to the outer wall shape of the cylinder 120, the first support frame 400 can be more stably connected to the cylinder 120. The first connecting part 210 is connected to the first support frame 400 and is fitted to the first support frame 400, so that the gravity change of the cylinder 120 can be better transmitted to the first connecting part 210 through the first support frame 400. The overall structure is more stable, and the vibration isolation and damping effect is further improved.

[0068] The vibration damping support device 130 also includes a second support frame 500 for connection to the housing 110, and a second connecting portion 220 connected to the second support frame 500, with the second connecting portion 220 fitting against the second support frame 500. By connecting the second connecting portion 220 to the second support frame 500 and fitting the second connecting portion 220 against the second support frame 500, the elastic element 200 can be more securely connected to the housing 110, and the distance between the elastic element 200 and the inner wall of the housing 110 can be extended, so that the cylinder 120 is farther away from the inner wall of the housing 110, thus avoiding collision between the cylinder 120 and the housing 110 during movement.

[0069] The first end of the second support frame 500 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 110, and the second end extends toward the interior of the housing 110. From the first end to the second end, the support frame is inclined downwards, and the inclination direction of the second connecting part 220 is consistent with the inclination direction of the second support frame 500. By inclining the support frame downwards and aligning the inclination direction of the second connecting part 220 with that of the second support frame 500, the elastic element 200 can better withstand the oblique force applied during the movement of the cylinder 120, thus better utilizing the elastic effect of the elastic element 200 and further improving the vibration isolation and damping effects.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting part 210 is provided with a first mounting hole 211, and the first connecting part 210 is threadedly connected to the first support frame 400 through the first mounting hole 211. Similarly, the second connecting part 220 is provided with a second mounting hole 221, and the second connecting part 220 is threadedly connected to the second support frame 500 through the second mounting hole 221.

[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the housing 110 is also provided with a mounting bracket 600. The end of the second support bracket 500 away from the second connecting part 220 is connected to the mounting bracket 600. A support member 610 is provided between the second support bracket 500 and the mounting bracket 600, thereby further improving the structural stability of the vibration damping support device 130.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first support frame 400 is welded to the cylinder 120, and the first support frame 400 and the first connecting part 210 are connected by a detachable threaded connection. The second support frame 500 is welded to the mounting frame 600 and reinforced by the support member 610. The mounting frame 600 is welded to the inner wall of the box 110, and the second support frame 500 and the second connecting part 220 are connected by a detachable threaded connection. This ensures the structural strength of the vibration damping support device 130 while facilitating the installation and removal of the elastic element 200, and making it convenient for the replacement and maintenance of the vibration damping support device 130.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two cylinders 120, and vibration damping support devices 130 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cylinder 120. The symmetrical arrangement of the vibration damping support devices 130 on both sides of the cylinder 120 allows the vibration damping support devices 130 to be evenly stressed from both sides of the cylinder 120, further improving the vibration isolation and damping effect.

[0074] In other embodiments, there may be one cylinder 120, with two vibration damping support devices 130 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cylinder 120. There may also be at least three cylinders 120, with adjacent cylinders 120 interconnected, and the two cylinders 120 at each end connected to the housing 110 via vibration damping support devices 130. When there are at least three cylinders 120, adjacent cylinders 120 are interconnected, and the two cylinders 120 at each end are connected to the housing 110 via vibration damping support devices 130. The weight of the multiple cylinders 120 is applied to the vibration damping support devices 130 at both ends, thus enabling better vibration isolation and resistance even with multiple cylinders 120.

[0075] The vibration damping support device 130 in this embodiment can be used in ordinary washing machines or smart washing machines. The smart washing machine has a smart voice control module, which includes a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, and the voice parsing module parses the commands. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the washing machine to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing intelligent control of the washing machine and improving the user experience of using the smart appliance.
