Detailed Implementation

[0030] Typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that this utility model can have various variations in different embodiments, all of which do not depart from the scope of this utility model, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit this utility model.

[0031] In the description of this application, it should be understood that, in the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the indications of direction or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back, etc.) are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the accompanying drawings. If the description of the positions of these elements changes, these directional indications also change accordingly.

[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 A washing machine chassis includes a washing machine tray 1 and a support member 2. The washing machine tray 1 is used to support the washing machine. The support member 2 is disposed below the washing machine tray 1 to support the washing machine tray 1, thereby improving the load-bearing strength of the washing machine tray 1, preventing deformation of the washing machine tray 1, and reducing vibration of the washing machine during operation.

[0034] The washing machine tray 1 includes a perimeter 11, a support platform 12, and a water collection tray 13. The support platform 12 is located inside the perimeter 11 at its four corners and is connected to the upper end of the perimeter 11. The support platform 12 supports the washing machine. When the washing machine is placed on the washing machine tray 1, the feet of the washing machine are positioned on the support platform 12, thus providing support for the washing machine. The water collection tray 13 is located inside the perimeter 11 and connects the perimeter 11 and the support platform 12. The water collection tray 13 collects water leaking from the washing machine.

[0035] When the washing machine tray 1 is placed on the ground, the bottom surface of the rim 11 contacts the ground, while the support platform 12 and the water collection tray 13 are both at a distance from the ground. A drain pipe is provided on the bottom surface of the water collection tray 13, and the drain pipe can be positioned between the water collection tray 13 and the ground. However, because both the support platform 12 and the water collection tray 13 are at a distance from the ground, the load-bearing strength of the washing machine tray 1 at the water collection tray 13 is relatively low, making it prone to deformation. Especially after the washing machine is placed on the washing machine tray 1, the weight of the washing machine and the vibrations generated during operation increase the likelihood of deformation of the washing machine tray 1. When the washing machine tray 1 deforms, it leads to increased vibration of the washing machine.

[0036] Increasing the thickness of the washing machine tray 1 to improve its rigidity, or using a harder material to manufacture it, would significantly increase its cost. This application addresses this by installing a support member 2 below the washing machine tray 1 and corresponding to the water collection tray 13. This support member 2 supports the water collection tray 13, improving the vertical rigidity of the washing machine tray 1, preventing deformation, reducing vibration during operation, and eliminating the need to alter the existing structure of the washing machine tray 1, thus lowering costs. The number and placement of the support members 2 can be adjusted according to specific circumstances. For example, one support member 2 can be placed below the center of the water collection tray 13. Alternatively, four support members 2 can be placed on the water collection tray 13 near the support platform 12.

[0037] When installing the washing machine tray 1, first place the support member 2 in the corresponding position, then place the washing machine tray 1 and fix it to the ground. At this time, the top surface of the support member 2 is in contact with the bottom surface of the washing machine tray 1, and under the pressure of the washing machine tray 1, the support member 2 is stabilized in the corresponding installation position. Alternatively, after the washing machine tray 1 is fixed to the ground, there is still a slight gap between the top surface of the support member 2 and the bottom surface of the washing machine tray 1. When the washing machine is placed on the washing machine tray 1, the weight of the washing machine causes the washing machine tray 1 to deform slightly, thereby pressing the support member 2 firmly into the corresponding installation position. Figure 5 As shown. Alternatively, the height of the support member 2 may be slightly higher than the height of the washing machine tray 1, resulting in a gap between the edge 11 of the washing machine tray 1 and the ground after it is placed. When the washing machine is placed on the washing machine tray 1, the weight of the washing machine causes a slight deformation of the washing machine tray 1, thereby bringing the edge 11 of the washing machine tray 1 into contact with the ground and pressing the support member 2 firmly into the corresponding installation position, such as... Figure 6 As shown. This makes the installation of support 2 convenient. The washing machine tray 1 can be fixed to the ground with screws, ensuring that the position of the washing machine tray 1 will not move after installation.

[0038] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 The support member 2 includes a sleeve 21 and a support column 22, with the sleeve 21 fitted onto the support column 22. The sleeve 21 has a snap-fit ​​portion 211, and the lower end of the support column 22 snaps into the snap-fit ​​portion 211, thereby connecting the support column 22 and the sleeve 21 together. The upper end of the support column 22 extends upward and protrudes to the outside of the sleeve 21. The top surface of the support column 22 abuts against the bottom surface of the washing machine tray 1 to support the washing machine tray 1, improving the rigidity of the washing machine tray 1, preventing deformation of the washing machine tray 1, and reducing vibration of the washing machine during operation.

[0039] In one embodiment, the sleeve 21 is cylindrical, and its axis is vertically oriented. Multiple engaging portions 211 are provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 21, distributed sequentially along the axial direction of the sleeve 21 and spaced apart. By adjusting the engaging position between the support column 22 and the sleeve 21, the overall height of the support member 2 can be adjusted, thereby adapting the overall height of the support member 2 to the space below the water collection tray 13.

[0040] The snap-fit ​​part 211 is specifically a snap-fit ​​structure. The snap-fit ​​part 211 is arranged in a ring shape, so that when the support column 22 is snapped with the sleeve 21, there is no need to adjust the circumferential position, which makes it more convenient to assemble the support member 2 and to adjust the overall height of the support member 2.

[0041] In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​portion 211 includes a support surface 2111 and a guide surface 2112. The support surface 2111 is horizontally arranged, the lower end of the guide surface 2112 is connected to the support surface 2111, and the upper end of the guide surface 2112 is inclined toward the inside of the sleeve 21.

[0042] In one embodiment, a protruding ring 23 is provided on the bottom surface of the sleeve 21. The inner diameter of the protruding ring 23 is equal to the inner diameter of the sleeve 21, and the outer diameter of the protruding ring 23 is larger than the outer diameter of the sleeve 21. When the support member 2 is placed on the ground, the sleeve 21 contacts the ground through the protruding ring 23, thereby increasing the contact area between the support member 2 and the ground and improving stability. Moreover, the protruding ring 23 makes the lower end of the sleeve 21 heavier, thereby preventing the support member 2 from tipping over during use. The protruding ring 23 acts as a counterweight, making the center of gravity of the support member 2 lower.

[0043] In one embodiment, only one sleeve 21 may be provided. Thus, the support member 2 consists of only one sleeve 21 and the support member 2, which results in a simple structure and lower cost.

[0044] See Figure 9 In one embodiment, multiple sleeves 21 are provided, and the multiple sleeves 21 are sequentially sleeved together, with adjacent sleeves 21 being snapped together. The outermost sleeve 21 is in contact with the ground, and the innermost sleeve 21 is connected to the support column 22. The snap-fit ​​part 211 is provided on the inner wall surface of the innermost sleeve 21. The following description uses the example of "between two adjacent sleeves 21, the outermost sleeve 21 is the first sleeve 24, and the innermost sleeve 21 is the second sleeve 25" to illustrate the connection structure between two adjacent sleeves 21.

[0045] The inner wall surface of the first sleeve 24 is provided with a plurality of fastening parts 241. The plurality of fastening parts 241 are distributed sequentially along the axial direction of the first sleeve 24 and are spaced apart. The lower end of the second sleeve 25 is engaged with the fastening parts 241, and the lower end of the second sleeve 25 can be adjusted among the plurality of fastening parts 241 to adjust the overall height of the sleeve 21.

[0046] In one embodiment, the structure of the fastening part 241 is the same as that of the snap-fit ​​part 211. That is, the fastening part 241 is a slot structure, and the fastening part 241 is arranged in a ring shape, so that when the second sleeve 25 is snapped with the first sleeve 24, it is not necessary to adjust the circumferential position, which makes it more convenient to assemble the sleeve 21 and to adjust the overall height of the support member 2. Multiple fastening parts 241 are distributed sequentially along the axial direction of the first sleeve 24. By adjusting the snap-fit ​​position between the second sleeve 25 and the first sleeve 24, the overall height of the sleeve 21 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the overall height of the support member 2, so that the overall height of the support member 2 is adapted to the space below the water collection tray 13. Moreover, by providing multiple sleeves 21, the snap-fit ​​position between adjacent sleeves 21 can be adjusted, increasing the height adjustment range of the support member 2.

[0047] The fastening part 241 includes a supporting surface 2411 and a guiding surface 2412. The supporting surface 2411 is horizontally arranged and is used to support the second sleeve 25. The lower end of the guiding surface 2412 is connected to the supporting surface 2411, and the upper end of the guiding surface 2412 is inclined towards the inside of the sleeve 21. The guiding surface 2412 is used to guide the second sleeve 25 to retract for adjustment among the various fastening parts 241.

[0048] The second sleeve 25 includes a connecting portion 251 and a snap-fit ​​portion 252, the snap-fit ​​portion 252 being used to snap into the fastening portion 241. The connecting portion 251 is connected above the snap-fit ​​portion 252 and is used to connect to the sleeve 21 or support post 22 located inside it. The snap-fit ​​portion 252 is elastic and can retract under the guidance of the guide surface 2412 to move among the multiple fastening portions 241, thereby achieving height adjustment of the support member 2.

[0049] In one embodiment, the sleeve 21 is made of plastic and has the ability to deform slightly. When the second sleeve 25 is subjected to upward force, its lower end, guided by the guide surface 2412, undergoes elastic deformation, allowing it to move to the next fastening part 241. This enables the second sleeve 25 to move axially upward relative to the first sleeve 24, changing the engagement position and thus adjusting the overall height of the sleeve 21. When the second sleeve 25 is subjected to downward force, the support surface 2411 abuts against it, preventing the second sleeve 25 from moving axially along the first sleeve 24. This provides stable support for the second sleeve 25 from the first sleeve 24.

[0050] The latching portion 252 is cylindrical, with its axis arranged vertically, and its diameter decreasing from bottom to top. When pressure is applied downwards to the second sleeve 25, the second sleeve 25 tends to move towards the supporting surface 2411, but due to the obstruction of the supporting surface 2411, the second sleeve 25 cannot move relative to the first sleeve 24. The supporting force applied to the latching portion 252 by the supporting surface 2411 is partly used to counteract the pressure, and partly forms a radially outward component force, thereby causing the latching portion 252 to deform in the direction of increasing diameter, making the engagement between the latching portion 252 and the fastening portion 241 more secure. Conversely, when the second sleeve 25 applies pressure from bottom to top, the latching part 252 moves away from the supporting surface 2411. Under the action of the guide surface 2412, the latching part 252 forms a component force toward the radial inward side, thereby forcing the latching part 252 to contract, so that the latching part 252 can move to the next fastening part 241.

[0051] It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​part 252 may also include multiple snaps arranged in a ring, and the multiple snaps are all fastened to the snap-fit ​​part 241.

[0052] The connecting part 251 is cylindrical, and its axis is vertically oriented. When other sleeves 21 are provided inside the second sleeve 25, the inner wall of the connecting part 251 is provided with a fastening part 241 for engaging with the sleeve 21 located inside the connecting part 251. When the second sleeve 25 is connected to the support column 22, the inner wall of the connecting part 251 is provided with a locking part 211 for engaging with the support column 22.

[0053] exist Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, two sleeves 21 are configured, with a protruding ring 23 disposed at the bottom of the first sleeve 24. A support post 22 is connected to the interior of the second sleeve 25. It should be noted that the number of sleeves 21 can also be three, four, or more, allowing for more flexible height adjustment. The protruding ring 23 is disposed at the bottom of the outermost sleeve 21.

[0054] The second sleeve 25 can be completely inside the first sleeve 24 or extend from above the first sleeve 24, which increases the height adjustment range of the sleeve 21 and reduces its volume when stored.

[0055] When assembling sleeve 21, first insert one end of the connecting part 251 of the second sleeve 25 into the first sleeve 24 from below. Then, continue to apply force along the direction in which the second sleeve 25 is inserted into the first sleeve 24, causing the snap-fit ​​part 252 of the second sleeve 25 to elastically deform and enter the position of engaging with the snap-fit ​​part 241. When it is necessary to increase the height of sleeve 21, continue to apply force along the direction in which the second sleeve 25 is inserted into the first sleeve 24, causing the snap-fit ​​part 252 of the second sleeve 25 to elastically deform and enter the position of the next snap-fit ​​part 241, thus increasing the height of sleeve 21. When it is necessary to decrease the height of sleeve 21, apply force along the direction in which the second sleeve 25 is inserted into the first sleeve 24, causing the second sleeve 25 to move out of the first sleeve 24 from above. Then, insert the second sleeve 25 into the first sleeve 24 in the same way as assembling sleeve 21, thus adjusting the engagement position of the second sleeve 25 and the first sleeve 24.

[0056] The second sleeve 25 and the first sleeve 24 are always in a locked state. During use, the second sleeve 25 and the first sleeve 24 are both pressed together by the washing machine tray 1 to prevent vibration caused by the washing machine and thus avoid knocking noise, and also to prevent one of the parts from being left idle and thus being prone to loss.

[0057] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 The support column 22 includes a fastening part 221 and a support part 222. The fastening part 221 is disposed inside the sleeve 21 and is configured to cooperate with the snap-fit ​​part 211, and the fastening part 221 is snapped onto the snap-fit ​​part 211. The support part 222 is connected to the fastening part 221, and the upper end of the support part 222 extends to the outside of the sleeve 21 and abuts against the bottom surface of the washing machine tray 1.

[0058] The structure of the fastening part 221 is similar to that of the snap-fit ​​part 252. The fastening part 221 is elastic and can retract to move among the plurality of snap-fit ​​parts 211.

[0059] In one embodiment, the support column 22 is a plastic structure with the ability to deform slightly. When the support column 22 is moved upward relative to the sleeve 21 axially, the lower end of the support column 22 undergoes elastic deformation under the guidance of the guide surface 2112, thereby allowing the latching portion 221 at the lower end of the support column 22 to move to the next engaging portion 211. When the support column 22 is subjected to downward force, the support surface 2111 abuts against the support column 22, preventing the support column 22 from moving axially relative to the sleeve 21, thus providing stable support for the support column 22 from the sleeve 21.

[0060] The fastening portion 221 is cylindrical, with its axis arranged vertically, and its diameter decreasing from bottom to top. When the support column 22 applies pressure from top to bottom, the fastening portion 221 of the support column 22 tends to move towards the support surface 2111, but due to the obstruction of the support surface 2111, the support column 22 cannot move relative to the sleeve 21. Part of the supporting force applied to the fastening portion 221 by the support surface 2111 is used to counteract the pressure, and part of it forms a radially outward component force, thereby causing the fastening portion 221 to deform in the direction of increasing diameter, making the fastening between the fastening portion 221 and the locking portion 211 more secure. Conversely, when the support column 22 applies pressure from bottom to top, the fastening part 221 moves away from the support surface 2111. Under the action of the guide surface 2112, the fastening part 221 forms a component force toward the radial inward, thereby forcing the fastening part 221 to contract, so that the fastening part 221 can move to the next engaging part 211.

[0061] It should be noted that the fastening part 221 may include a plurality of buckles arranged in a ring, and the plurality of buckles are fastened to the fastening part 211.

[0062] See Figures 10 to 12 In one embodiment, the support portion 222 includes a connecting wall 2221 and a support wall 2222. The connecting wall 2221 is vertically arranged, with its lower end connected to the fastening portion 221, and its upper end extending upward and beyond the outer side of the sleeve 21. The support wall 2222 protrudes and connects to the top surface of the connecting wall 2221. The support wall 2222 is elastic, capable of elastically deforming under the pressure of the washing machine tray 1 to adapt to the height difference between the bottom surface of the washing machine tray 1 and the ground.

[0063] exist Figure 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the support wall 2222 is a conical boss, resulting in a smaller contact area between the support wall 2222 and the washing machine tray 1. This makes the support wall 2222 more prone to elastic deformation. As the amount of elastic deformation of the support wall 2222 increases, the contact area between the support wall 2222 and the washing machine tray 1 also increases, making it more difficult for the support wall 2222 to deform further. This improves the support effect of the washing machine tray 1. Furthermore, the overall height of the support member 2 is automatically adjusted according to the pressure applied by the washing machine tray 1 to the support wall 2222. In this embodiment, the elastic deformation of the support wall 2222 is only used for a minor adjustment of the height of the support member 2; that is, the amount of elastic deformation of the support wall 2222 is less than the distance between two adjacent latching parts 211. When a significant adjustment of the height of the support member 2 is required, it is achieved by adjusting the engagement position of the fastening part 221 and the latching part 211, thereby enabling the support member 2 to adapt to washing machine trays 1 of different heights.

[0064] In one embodiment, a through hole 2223 is provided in the middle of the support wall 2222, thereby giving the support wall 2222 an elastic deformation space, which facilitates the elastic deformation of the support wall 2222, such as... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown.

[0065] In one embodiment, the top surface of the support portion 222 is flat, that is, the support wall 2222 has a planar structure. In this embodiment, the height of the support member 2 is adjusted by adjusting the mating position of the fastening portion 221 and the snap-fit ​​portion 211, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown.

[0066] See Figure 13 The assembly method between the support column 22 and the sleeve 21 is the same as the assembly method between the second sleeve 25 and the first sleeve 24. That is, when assembling the support column 22 and the sleeve 21, the support part 222 of the support column 22 is first inserted into the sleeve 21 from below, and then force is applied along the direction in which the support column 22 is inserted into the sleeve 21, causing the fastening part 221 of the support column 22 to elastically deform and enter the position of engaging with the locking part 211. When it is necessary to increase the height of the support member 2, force is applied along the direction in which the support column 22 is inserted into the sleeve 21, causing the fastening part 221 of the support column 22 to elastically deform and enter the next locking part 211 position, thus increasing the height of the support member 2. When it is necessary to reduce the height of the support 2, force is applied along the direction in which the support column 22 is inserted into the sleeve 21, so that the support column 22 moves out of the sleeve 21 from above. Then, the support column 22 is inserted into the sleeve 21 in the manner of assembling the support column 22 onto the sleeve 21, and the engagement position between the support column 22 and the sleeve 21 is adjusted.

[0067] When multiple sleeves 21 are configured, the support column 22 is installed on the innermost sleeve 21. Furthermore, when the height of the support member 2 needs to be adjusted, the engagement position between two adjacent sleeves 21 can be adjusted, as can the engagement position between the support column 22 and the sleeve 21. In this embodiment, the spacing between the multiple snap-fit ​​parts 211 and the spacing between the multiple fastening parts 241 can be different, thereby increasing the adjustable height range of the support member 2 and making adjustment more flexible. It should be noted that the spacing between the multiple snap-fit ​​parts 211 and the spacing between the multiple fastening parts 241 can also be the same.

[0068] Thus, when the height of the support 2 needs to be adjusted, the overall height can be adjusted simply by pushing the support column 22 relative to the sleeve 21 in one direction or by pushing the two adjacent sleeves 21 relative to each other in one direction, making the operation more convenient.

[0069] The washing machine tray 1 of this application includes a washing machine tray 1 and a support member 2. The washing machine tray 1 is used to support the washing machine. The support member 2 is disposed below the washing machine tray 1 and abuts against the bottom surface of the washing machine tray 1 to support the washing machine tray 1, thereby improving the rigidity of the washing machine tray 1 in the vertical direction, preventing deformation of the washing machine tray 1, reducing vibration of the washing machine during operation, and without changing the existing structure of the washing machine tray 1, thus reducing costs. The support member 2 includes a sleeve 21 and a support column 22. The sleeve 21 has multiple locking parts 211 arranged sequentially along its own axial direction. The lower end of the support column 22 is locked with one of the locking parts 211, and the locking position of the support column 22 can move among the multiple locking parts 211 to adjust the overall height of the support member 2, so that the overall height of the support member 2 is adapted to the space below the water collection tray 13, thereby accommodating washing machine trays 1 of different sizes.

[0070] This application also provides a washing machine device, including a washing machine and a washing machine chassis. The washing machine chassis includes a washing machine tray and a support member. The washing machine is placed in the washing machine tray, and the support member is disposed below the washing machine tray and abuts against the bottom surface of the washing machine tray to support the washing machine tray. This improves the rigidity of the washing machine tray in the vertical direction, prevents the washing machine tray from deforming, and reduces the vibration of the washing machine during operation.

[0071] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
