The application field of the vibration damping assembly 1 of the embodiment of the present application is not limited. The present application is described by way of example with respect to the application of the vibration damping assembly 1 to a laundry treating apparatus. It will be appreciated that the vibration damping assembly 1 may also be used in other mechanical devices.
The present embodiment also provides a clothes treating apparatus, referring to fig. 5 and 6, comprising a washing drum 2 and a vibration damping assembly 1 according to any of the embodiments of the present application. The washing drum 2 has a rotation center line (abbreviated as a second center O in fig. 7 to 9 2 ) The washing tub 2 rotates around the rotation center line. The plurality of vibration reduction assemblies 1 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the washing drum 2, and the base 11 is fixedly connected with the washing drum 2, that is, the base 11 can synchronously rotate along with the washing drum 2. First circle center O 1 Is eccentrically arranged with the rotation central line, namely a first circle center O 1 With a second centre of a circle O 2 Eccentrically arranged, i.e. with a first centre of a circle O 1 Not on the rotational centerline.
In fig. 7 to 9, the circle I is centered at the first center O 1 Is a circle with the center of a circle and the swing length corresponding to the arc-shaped swing chamber as the radius. The circle II is with the second circle center O 2 A circle with the outer diameter of the washing drum 2 as the radius, i.e. a circle ii, is also regarded as the cross-sectional shape of the washing drum.
The clothes treating apparatus further includes an outer tub and a power input shaft, the washing tub being rotatably disposed in the outer tub, the outer tub having a mounting supporting function for the washing tub. Specifically, one end of the power input shaft extends into the outer tub from the outside of the outer tub and is connected to the washing tub. In order to be convenient for carry out rotation support to the power input shaft, be provided with bearing and bearing frame on the power input shaft and the juncture of outer bucket, the outer fringe and the outer bucket fixed connection of bearing frame, the bearing is installed in the bearing frame, and the power input shaft wears to establish in the bearing.
The rotation of the washing drum 2 is a non-fixed axis rotation, and the position of the rotation center line of the washing drum 2 is not changed basically. When the load in the washing cylinder 2 is eccentric, the washing cylinder 2 can be eccentrically rotated, the rotation center line of the washing cylinder 2 can be continuously changed in the rotation process, the power input shaft can be driven to eccentrically rotate when the washing cylinder 2 eccentrically rotates, and then vibration is transmitted to the outer cylinder through the bearing and the bearing seat, so that the outer cylinder is forced to regularly vibrate, the vibration performance of the whole cylinder part assembly formed by the outer cylinder, the washing cylinder and other parts is poor, and larger noise can be generated. Referring to fig. 10, the rotation center of the washing drum 2 at any time has a speed increment of Δv o I.e. the speed at the centre line of rotation fluctuates, according to rigid kinematic principles, the instantaneous speed at any one of the edges of the washing drum 2 is ω+Δv Wherein ω is the rotational angular velocity of the wash bowl 2, R is the radius of the wash bowl 2, deltaV Is DeltaV o Tangential component, deltaV, at the edge of the wash bowl 2 The edge of the washing tub 2 is caused to have a speed fluctuation, thereby generating a large vibration displacement and vibration noise. Note that Δv Is a vector, ω is also a vector, when Δv When the direction of (a) is the same as ω×r, Δv The value of (2) is positive; when DeltaV When the direction of (a) is opposite to the direction of ω R, Δv The value of (2) takes the negative number. The fluctuation of the speed at the rotation center line of the washing drum 2 causes fluctuation of the edge speed of the washing drum 2, and thus, the problem of the rotation of the washing drum 2 is a generalized torsional vibration problem.
Referring to fig. 8, the washing drum 2 is rotated clockwise in fig. 8 if the washing drum 2 is rotatedThe speed transient increase at the centerline, the oscillating mass 12 creates a transient oscillation angle rearward in the direction of rotationThe swinging mass body 12 presses the cambered surface of the cambered swinging chamber 11a on the radial outer side under the action of centrifugal force, and the swinging mass body 12 generates a pressing force F to the cambered surface 1 Extrusion force F 1 Radially outwardly of the wash bowl 2. The pressing force F 1 To oscillate the mass body 12 by a first centre of circle O 1 Is the centrifugal force generated by the circle center. Due to the first centre of a circle O 1 With a second centre of a circle O 2 Eccentrically arranged, the extrusion force F 1 With force component F in tangential direction of the arc a Component F of force a The edge speed fluctuation of the washing drum 2 can be restrained, the amplitude of the washing drum 2 is reduced, and the effect of weakening the vibration excitation of the washing drum 2 is achieved. Specifically, the above-mentioned pressing force F 1 The intersection point of the straight line and the cambered surface of the cambered swinging chamber 11a is C 1 Point, straight line C 1 O 1 To be at the first center of circle O 1 Straight line C with radius of circle center 1 O 2 To be at the second center of circle O 2 A straight line with radius of circle center, component force F a Perpendicular to straight line C 1 O 2
Referring to fig. 9, the washing tub 2 rotates clockwise in fig. 9, and if the speed at the center line of rotation of the washing tub 2 is transiently reduced, the oscillating mass 12 generates a transient oscillation angle forward in the rotation directionThe swinging mass body 12 presses the cambered surface of the cambered swinging chamber 11a on the radial outer side under the action of centrifugal force, and the swinging mass body 12 presses the extruding force F of the cambered surface 2 Extrusion force F 2 Radially outwardly of the wash bowl 2. The pressing force F 2 To oscillate the mass body 12 by a first centre of circle O 1 Is the centrifugal force generated by the circle center. Due to the first centre of a circle O 1 With a second centre of a circle O 2 Eccentrically arranged, the extrusion force F 2 With force component F in tangential direction of the arc b Dividing intoForce F b The fluctuation of the rotation center speed of the washing drum 2 can be restrained, the fluctuation of the edge speed of the washing drum 2 is finally reduced, the amplitude of the washing drum 2 is reduced, and the effect of weakening the vibration excitation of the washing drum 2 is achieved. Specifically, the above-mentioned pressing force F 2 The intersection point of the straight line and the cambered surface of the cambered swinging chamber 11a is C 2 Point, straight line C 2 O 1 To be at the first center of circle O 1 Straight line C with radius of circle center 2 O 2 To be at the second center of circle O 2 A straight line with radius of circle center, component force F b Perpendicular to straight line C 2 O 2
It should be noted that the plurality of vibration damping assemblies 1 are distributed uniformly as much as possible along the circumferential direction of the washing tub 2, so as to avoid eccentric rotation of the washing tub 2 caused by the plurality of vibration damping assemblies 1 themselves as much as possible.

The vibration damping assembly 1 of the embodiment of the present application is an inertial vibration damping system, which is damped by a component force F a Or component force F b Suppressing speed fluctuation of the washing drum 2 due to component force F a Or component force F b In the tangential direction of rotation of the washing drum 2, the fluctuation of the speed of the washing drum 2 can therefore be effectively suppressed, that is, a certain component force F can be generated even if the mass of the oscillating mass body 12 is small a Or component force F b The vibration absorbing assembly has good vibration absorbing effect, namely, the vibration absorbing assembly can generate larger inertia to resist vibration excitation caused by eccentric rotation of the washing cylinder 2 by smaller mass arrangement, and improve vibration noiseThe sound performance can greatly improve the mass utilization efficiency of the swinging mass body 12, greatly reduce the counterweight quality of the clothes treatment equipment, even cancel the large-mass counterweight in the related art, facilitate the expansion of the clothes treatment equipment and facilitate the arrangement of internal parts. In addition, the vibration damping assembly 1 of the embodiment of the application can be flexibly arranged according to the space of the washing drum 2, so that the installation requirement on the installation space of the washing drum 2 is reduced.
It should be noted that the material density of the oscillating mass 12 is higher, so as to have a larger mass at the same volume, so as to generate a larger inertia. For example, the oscillating mass 12 is a metal piece. It will be appreciated that the housing 11 and/or the stop 14 may also be a metal piece.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the radially inner surface and the radially outer surface of the oscillating mass 12 are in sliding contact with the corresponding wall surfaces of the arc-shaped oscillating chamber 11a. Specifically, the first cambered surface 12a of the oscillating mass body 12 is in sliding contact with the first wall surface 111 of the arcuate oscillating chamber 11a, and the second cambered surface 12b of the oscillating mass body 12 is in sliding contact with the second wall surface 112 of the arcuate oscillating chamber 11a. That is, the oscillating mass 12 is in clearance fit with the arc-shaped oscillating chamber 11a, and the clearance tolerance is controlled within a small range, so that, on the one hand, a good guiding effect on the oscillating mass 12 is facilitated, and, on the other hand, a large displacement of the oscillating mass 12 in the radial direction is avoided, and the oscillating mass 12 is prevented from striking the above-mentioned first wall surface 111 or second wall surface 112 of the arc-shaped oscillating chamber 11a in the radial direction.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the oscillating mass 12 is provided with a first rib 121 along the radial inner side of the arc-shaped oscillating chamber 11a. That is, the first cambered surface 12a of the oscillating mass body 12 is provided with the first bead 121, and the first bead 121 extends in the circumferential direction of the oscillating mass body 12. The first ribs 121 can reduce the sliding contact area between the first cambered surface 12a of the oscillating mass body 12 and the first wall surface 111 of the cambered oscillating chamber 11a to reduce the frictional resistance when the oscillating mass body 12 oscillates.
The number of the first ribs 121 is not limited, and may be one, two or more.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the oscillating mass 12 is provided with a second rib 122 along the radial outer side of the arc-shaped oscillating chamber 11a.

In other embodiments, the first rib 121 and the second rib 122 may be disposed on the oscillating mass 12 at the same time.
The elastic body 13 is capable of generating compression elastic deformation upon impact of the oscillating mass 12, and has a rebound force to drive the oscillating mass 12 to return. The elastic body 13 may be a spring, a rebound pad made of a flexible material, or the like.

The seat 11 is radially limited and abutted by the cylinder 21. Specifically, when the washing tub 2 rotates, the vibration damping assembly 1 receives centrifugal force, has a tendency to move radially outward, and provides a supporting reaction force to the base 11 through the tub 21 to balance the centrifugal force received by the base 11, preventing the screws or bolts at the connection of the connection plate 15 and the annular plate 221 from receiving large shearing force.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 6, the surface of the base 11 along the radial outer side of the washing drum 2 is an arc surface 114, and the arc surface 114 is attached to the inner surface of the drum 21. That is, the radius corresponding to the circular arc surface 114 is approximately the same as the radius of the cylinder 21, so that the circular arc surface 114 can be completely attached to the inner surface of the cylinder 21, and thus, the contact area between the cylinder 21 and the seat 11 can be increased, so that the cylinder 21 provides a better supporting and limiting effect on the seat 11.
In one embodiment, the relevant design parameters of the damping assembly 1 and the wash bowl 2 satisfy the constraints of the following two formulas:
mh(r+h) 2 =J o (r-h) formula (1)
Wherein m is the mass of the oscillating mass 12; j is the common moment of inertia of a rotary whole formed by the washing cylinder, the power input shaft and the disc body; gamma is the excitation frequency order to be considered for cancellation; h is the distance between the swing center of the swing mass body 12 and the rotation center line of the washing drum, namely the first center O in FIG. 7 1 And a second center of circle O 2 A distance therebetween; r is the pendulum length, i.e. the pendulum radius of the pendulum mass 12, and also the radius of the arc-shaped pendulum chamber 11a.
In the embodiment, the vibration component can inhibit the vibration displacement of the full rotating speed section of the washing drum 2 and has a wider vibration absorption frequency band, so that the whole vibration absorption frequency band of the full rotating speed section of the washing drum can play a good role in vibration absorption and does not generate resonance.
