Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.

A washing machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 6, a washing machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet 100, a rotary tub 200, a support damper assembly 300, and a pulsator 600.

The rotary tub 200 is rotatably provided in the cabinet 100. One end of the support damper assembly 300 is connected to the lower portion of the cabinet 100 and the other end supports the rotary tub 200. The pulsator 600 is rotatably provided in the rotary tub 200.

It should be understood herein that the "support damper assembly 300 supports the rotary tub 200" should be construed broadly, including the support damper assembly 300 directly supporting the rotary tub 200 and the support damper assembly 300 indirectly supporting the rotary tub 200 through other structures.

According to the washing machine 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, a structure is adopted in which the washing machine 1 is provided with only the rotary tub 200 and not the tub. Thus, when the washing machine 1 performs a washing function, water is contained in the rotary tub 200 to achieve a water containing function, and the washing machine 1 saves water resources. Therefore, the washing machine 1 can still realize the functions of the washing machine with the water bucket in the related art and ensure the washing effect of the washing machine 1 under the conditions of eliminating the water bucket to simplify the structure, improve the capacity, reduce the breeding of dirt and bacteria and save water.

Moreover, the washing machine 1 does not need to be provided with structures such as a water containing barrel, and compared with the washing machines in the related art, the design, manufacture and installation processes of the water containing barrel can be omitted, the design and manufacture difficulty of the washing machine 1 can be reduced conveniently, the cost of the washing machine 1 can be reduced conveniently, and the production efficiency of the washing machine 1 can be improved.

Further, the washing machine 1 has the support damper assembly 300 installed at the lower portion of the cabinet 100 to support the rotary tub 200 on the support damper assembly 300, so that it is possible to reduce the displacement of the rotary tub 200 in the horizontal direction during rotation, to prevent the rotary tub 200 from colliding with the cabinet 100 due to vibration, to improve the stability of the rotary tub 200 during rotation, and to prevent the generation of collision noise, compared to a manner of adopting a boom type damper structure in the related art.

Specifically, since one end of the supporting damper assembly 300 is connected to the lower portion of the cabinet 100, the vibration of the rotary tub 200 can be transmitted to the lower portion of the cabinet 100 through the supporting damper assembly 300, and compared to the related art in which a suspension bar type damping structure is adopted, the suspension bar can prevent the vibration from being transmitted to the upper portion of the cabinet, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the cabinet 100, improving the stability of the cabinet 100, and further reducing the noise of the washing machine 1 during operation.

In addition, since the support damper assembly 300 may transmit the vibration of the rotary tub 200 to the lower portion of the cabinet 100, it may reduce the vibration transmitted to the sidewall of the cabinet 100 when the washing machine 1 dehydrates, compared to the related art in which a hanger type damper structure is used, so that it may reduce the requirement for the structural strength of the cabinet 100, save the manufacturing cost of the cabinet 100, and reduce the production cost of the washing machine 1.

Therefore, the washing machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantages of large capacity, water saving, environmental protection, difficult secondary pollution, strong stability, low noise, etc.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 to 6, a washing machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet 100, a rotary tub 200, a support damper assembly 300, and a pulsator 600.

One end of the damper 310 is installed at the lower portion of the cabinet 100 and the other end supports the rotary tub 200. The shock-absorbing elastic member 320 is fitted over the damper 310. Compare like this and adopt the elastic component to carry out absorbing mode alone, can avoid reducing elastic component rigidity for guaranteeing the shock attenuation effect, and lead to the elastic component life-span to shorten, the problem of elastic component premature failure. Compared with a mode of singly adopting a damper to absorb shock, the washing machine can avoid difficulty in accelerating and ensure the washing efficiency. That is, the damper assembly 301 may avoid the defect of using a single damping manner, ensure the stability of the rotary tub 200, and reduce the noise of the washing machine 1 during operation.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the damper 310 includes a damper inner rod 311 and a damper outer cylinder 312. The damping inner bar 311 is connected to the rotary tub 200 or the cabinet 100. The damping outer cylinder 312 is movably sleeved on the damping inner rod 311 along the axial direction of the damping inner rod 311. The damping outer cylinder 312 is installed at the lower portion of the cabinet 100, and the shock-absorbing elastic member 320 is connected to the damping outer cylinder 312 and the damping inner rod 311, respectively. This can provide a damping force to the rotary tub 200 by using a relative movement between the damping inner rod 311 and the damping outer cylinder 312 or by using both compressed fluids to secure a shock-absorbing effect to the rotary tub 200.

Further, the shock absorbing elastic member 320 is a spring and is sleeved on the damping inner rod 311, and the damper 310 is a friction damper or an air damper. This not only facilitates the installation of the shock-absorbing elastic member 320, but also positions the shock-absorbing elastic member 320 using the damping inner rod 311 to prevent the shock-absorbing elastic member 320 from being displaced. Meanwhile, the energy of the vibration may be reduced by means of the friction of the damper 310, thereby facilitating the vibration control of the rotary tub 200.
