Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and further illustrate technical scheme by detailed description of the invention.
The invention provides a kind of lower margin, including the first lower margin unit and the second lower margin unit, the first lower margin list
One end of unit can be connected with part to be supported, and the other end and the second lower margin unit match so that the second lower margin list
Unit support the first lower margin unit, the second lower margin unit can relative first lower margin unit in predetermined angle scope introversion
Tiltedly.
When on the ground that the part to be supported such as washing machine etc. equipped with this lower margin is placed on injustice, the second of lower margin
Lower margin unit can around the first lower margin unit rotational thus automatically adjust level so that the stress of lower margin is more equal
Even, further, since for flexibly connecting between two lower margin unit, certain vibrational energy can be consumed, from
And reach to alleviate the effect of vibration.
Embodiment one:
Present embodiments provide a kind of lower margin, as it is shown on figure 3, include the first lower margin unit 1 and the second lower margin
Unit 2.
The upper end of the first lower margin unit 1 can be connected with part 6 to be supported, and lower end matches with the second lower margin unit 2
Close.The upper end of the first lower margin unit 1 is provided with external screw thread, the first lower margin unit 1 by external screw thread with treat
Support member 6 is threaded.The bottom surface of the lower end of the first lower margin unit 1 is in the sphere 11 protruding.
The upper end of the second lower margin unit 2 is provided with spherical with what the sphere 11 on the first lower margin unit 1 matched
Groove 21, the groove face of the sphere 11 of the first lower margin unit 1 and the ball recess 21 of the second lower margin unit 2 it
Between can relatively rotate, the outer cover of the lower end of the second lower margin unit 2 is provided with resilient sleeve 3, further, elastic
Set 3 can use elastomeric material.
Second lower margin unit 2 is connected on the first lower margin unit 1 by connector 4.In the present embodiment,
Connector 4 includes connecting rod 41 and is arranged at the limiting plate 42 of connecting rod 41 one end, connecting rod 41 another
The through hole 22 that one end passes through the second lower margin unit 2 is threadeded with the first lower margin unit 1, the first lower margin unit
Being connected for pine between 1 with the second lower margin unit 2, the bottom surface of the second lower margin unit 2 is connected on limiting plate 42,
Making can be smoothly between the sphere 11 of the first lower margin unit 1 and the ball recess 21 of the second lower margin unit 2
Rotate.Being provided with deep gouge 23 in the middle part of the bottom surface of the second lower margin unit 2, limiting plate 42 is placed in deep gouge 23.
There is gap d 3, between the cell wall of limiting plate 42 and deep gouge 23 between the hole wall of connecting rod 41 and through hole 22
There is gap d 4, thus the rotation for the second lower margin unit 2 provides rotation space so that the second lower margin unit
2 can rotate in α angular range as shown in Figure 3.For reducing cost, connector 4 is preferably bolt, spiral shell
Bolt head is above-mentioned limiting plate 42.
Further, in order to ensure between the first lower margin unit 1 and the second lower margin unit 2 rotate smooth and easy
Property, an elastic component can be set up, by the elastic force effect of elastic component, the second lower margin unit 2 is pressed to limiting plate
42, thus reduce the extruding force between the first lower margin unit 1 and the second lower margin unit 2.In the present embodiment
In, elastic component is compression spring 5, and the bottom of the first lower margin unit 1 has the cavity 12 through its bottom surface,
Compression spring 5 is arranged in cavity 12, connecting rod 4 sequentially pass through the through hole 22 of the second lower margin unit 2 with
And compression spring 5 threadeds with the first lower margin unit 1.Between having between connecting rod 42 and compression spring 5
Gap d1, has gap d 2 between the cavity wall of compression spring 5 and cavity 12.One end of compression spring 5 presses to
At the bottom of the chamber of cavity 12, the other end presses to the second lower margin unit 2, and the second lower margin unit 2 is in compression spring 5
Press to limiting plate 42 under elastic force effect, thus reduce the relative first lower margin unit of the second lower margin unit 2 further
1 frictional force rotating.
The perimembranous of the first lower margin unit 1 is additionally provided with pad 13, when lower margin is installed on part 6 to be supported,
Pad 13 can abut with part 6 to be supported.The setting of pad 13 adds connecing of lower margin and part 6 to be supported
Contacting surface is amassed so that the installation of lower margin is more firm.
The principle that this lower margin automatically adjusts level is: when part 6 to be supported is not placed into ground, the second lower margin
The non-stress of unit 2, is in vacant state, and the bottom surface of the second lower margin unit 2 is made at the elastic force of compression spring 5
It is connected under with on limiting plate 42；During part 6 to be supported is placed on ground, when ground is uneven,
Second lower margin unit 2 of lower margin will relative first lower margin unit 1 turn an angle support on the ground,
Thus keeping the horizontal positioned of part 6 to be supported so that lower margin is more uniformly stressed.
Wherein, it is not limited to arrange the sphere 11 of protrusion on the first lower margin unit 1, at the second lower margin unit
Ball recess 21 is set on 2, other structures rotating in the range of can be formed in certain angle；Connect
Part 4 is also not limited to said structure, enables to the first lower margin unit 1 and the second lower margin unit 2 forms pine
The structure connecting.
It is thread connecting mode between first lower margin unit 1 and part to be supported 6, need to adjust by a relatively large margin
When whole, can be adjusted with manual rotation the first lower margin unit 1.When random road roughness is less, the present invention
The lower margin of embodiment can adjust adaptation automatically, it is not necessary to user is operated manually.
The lower margin that the present embodiment provides can be applicable in the equipment that washing machine, refrigerator etc. need to arrange lower margin.
Embodiment two:
Present embodiments provide a kind of washing machine, be mounted at the base plate corner location of this washing machine as implemented
Lower margin described in example one.
When washing machine is not in contact with ground, the second lower margin unit of four lower margins is in vacant state, and second
The bottom surface of lower margin unit is connected on limiting plate under the elastic force effect of compression spring；Washing machine is placed on ground
During face, if ground is uneven, the second lower margin unit of lower margin can rotate around the first lower margin unit,
Thus keep the horizontal positioned of washing machine, prevent the appearance of the unsettled phenomenon of lower margin so that the stress of four lower margins
More uniform.
Further, since for flexibly connecting between two lower margin unit, when washing machine runs, what it produced shakes
Dynamic part can be converted into the friction between two lower margin unit and be consumed, thus reaches to alleviate vibration of washing machine
Effect, effectively reduce the noise of washing machine.
Specifically described herein " on ", D score refer to lower margin common position is set when orientation.
Describe the know-why of the present invention above in association with specific embodiment.These describe and are intended merely to explain this
The principle of invention, and limiting the scope of the invention can not be construed to by any way.Based on herein
Explaining, those skilled in the art does not needs to pay other tools that performing creative labour can associate the present invention
Body embodiment, these modes fall within protection scope of the present invention.
