The flexible container 107 of the present embodiment includes a container body including a collapsible bellows structure 1071 and a cambered end 1072 that transitions between a reduced diameter structure 1073 and the bellows structure 1071; the foot for household appliances of the present embodiment further includes a protection ring 112 for protecting the flexible accommodating body 108, and one end of the protection ring 112 is provided with a protection curved surface which is matched with the cambered end 1072 to prevent the flexible accommodating body 107 from being damaged by pressure.
The other end of the protection ring 112 of this embodiment is provided with an embedded groove 1121, and the pressing ring 111 is embedded in the embedded groove 1121 of the protection ring 112, so that the following technical effects are achieved:
1. the compression ring and the protection ring of the embodiment are installed in an embedded mode, the limiting effect can be achieved, the complex limiting structure is avoided being arranged, and the installation is simple and stable.
2. The foot for the household appliance has the advantages that under the condition of extremely high impact pressure (when the household appliance or an article using the foot for the household appliance is dropped or lifted and suddenly placed), the protection ring and the pressing binding surface of the flexible accommodating body do not have any gap, so that the problems of expansion, breakage and the like of the flexible accommodating body are avoided, and the reliability is improved.
3. The compression ring and the protection ring of the embodiment are installed in an embedded mode, the installation height of the compression ring and the protection ring is reduced, the overall height of the bottom feet for the household appliance is reduced, the compression ring and the protection ring are installed on the household appliance and have small influence on the overall gravity center of the household appliance, the support stability of the household appliance is better facilitated, and the shock absorption effect is better for the shock in the working process of the household appliance (such as the dehydration shock of a washing machine).
The depth of the insertion groove 1121 of the present embodiment is greater than the thickness of the pressing ring 111, so that the pressing ring 111 can be completely inserted into the insertion groove 1121, and the installation height is reduced to the maximum extent, so as to reduce the overall height of the foot for the home appliance. Meanwhile, when the bottom foot of the household appliance is in an uneven state, the flexible accommodating body 107 is subjected to different pressures, the hydraulic medium flows, the flexible accommodating body 107 stretches and retracts to drive the adjusting foot 105 to axially move in the sheath 104 for leveling, the stretching and retraction of the flexible accommodating body 107 inevitably acts on the protection ring 112, and the protection ring 112 axially moves under the embedding limit of the embedding groove 1112 and the pressing ring 111.
The outer circumference of the protection ring 112 is completely wrapped by the pressing ring 111, and only the protection ring 112 is pressed into the adjusting pin 105, so that the reliability and the attaching stability are greatly improved. Therefore, after the protection ring 112 of the present embodiment is pressed into the adjustment leg 105, the adjustment leg 105 can always and stably move axially, the movement is smooth and reliable, the whole foot for the household appliance is more stable by the protection ring 112 and the adjustment leg, and the protection ring 111 and the pressing ring 112 can also have a certain amount of movement up and down.
Of course, the flexible container of the present embodiment may also adopt the sealing manner disclosed in the first embodiment.
EXAMPLE five
The domestic appliance of this embodiment is with footing includes: a hydraulic plate 101 having a liquid flow passage therein; the sheath 104 is fixedly connected with the hydraulic plate 101; an adjustment foot 105 disposed within the sheath 104 and axially movable relative thereto; an accommodating chamber is formed among the hydraulic plate 101, the sheath 104 and the adjusting foot 105; a flexible accommodating body 107, which accommodates a hydraulic medium therein and is disposed in the accommodating chamber; under the action of pressure, the flexible accommodating body 107 stretches and retracts to drive the adjusting foot 105 to axially move in the sheath 104 for leveling; the rubber gasket 106 is fixed at the bottom of the adjusting foot 105, and the bottom of the rubber gasket 106 is provided with designed lines 1061, so that the friction force to the ground is improved, and the stability is enhanced.
EXAMPLE six
The embodiment also provides a household appliance with the feet for the household appliances, which comprises a shell, wherein a plurality of the feet for the household appliances are arranged at the bottom of the shell, and the hydraulic medium filled in the feet for the household appliances can circulate among the feet for the household appliances for leveling.
Preferably, at least two domestic appliance feet are communicated through a communication device to realize the communication of the hydraulic medium between the domestic appliance feet.
The embodiment of the invention takes a washing machine as an example, explains the principle and the method for realizing the automatic leveling of the washing machine by the bottom foot for the household appliance, and after the washing machine is installed, the horizontal heights of the bottom feet for different household appliances are different due to uneven ground, and the bottom foot for the household appliance positioned at a pit on the ground is low. It can be seen that the feet for household appliances located high bear the weight of the washing machine first and are subjected to a large weight, while the feet for household appliances located low bear a small weight due to the dummy legs or the bearing of a small weight.
The adjusting foot of the bottom foot for the household appliance at the high position moves upwards under high pressure, the volume compression of the hollow cavity of the flexible containing body filled with the hydraulic medium is reduced due to the reduction of the height of the whole bottom foot, the hydraulic medium is forced to enter the throttling hole or the valve hole into the bottom foot for the household appliance at the low position through the high-pressure pipe, the hydraulic medium in the flexible containing body of the bottom foot for the household appliance at the low position is more and more, and the flexible containing body expands to push the adjusting foot to extend.
When the hydraulic pressure of the feet at the high position is the same as that of the feet at the low position, the hydraulic medium does not flow through the high-pressure pipe any more, and the relative positions of the adjusting feet and the bottom plate of the washing machine do not change any more, so that the automatic adjustment of the washing machine is completed.
In the washing or spin-drying process of the washing machine, the hydraulic medium can flow slowly and self-level, so that the vibration noise of the washing machine is greatly reduced.
The hydraulic medium of this embodiment can select to adopt hydraulic oil, and mobility is good, and the composition is stable.
In addition, the feet for the household appliances of the embodiments of the invention can also be applied to household appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, indoor air conditioners and the like except washing machines.
It should be noted that: the above-described embodiments of the present invention may be implemented individually or in combination of a plurality of embodiments.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
