As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the drum washing machine of the present disclosure includes a frame 10, a casing 20, an outer tub 30, and a door.

The frame 10 is covered with the outer case 20 as an external appearance, and the frame 10 and the outer case 20 protect internal devices. The frame 10 supports the outer tub 30 within the housing 20.

The outer tub 30 includes a first outer tub 31 and a second outer tub 32 provided in the frame 10, and the second outer tub 32 is located at an upper side of the first outer tub 31. The first outer barrel 31 is at the bottom and the second outer barrel 32 is at the top, wherein the volume of the first outer barrel 31 can be larger than the volume of the second outer barrel 32. The first outer cylinder 31 has a first front outer cylinder 312 and a first rear outer cylinder 311 connected to the first front outer cylinder 312. The second outer cylinder 32 has a second front outer cylinder 322 and a second rear outer cylinder 321 connected to the second front outer cylinder 322.

The first hanging springs 51 are respectively arranged at the left side and the right side of the first rear outer cylinder 311. The at least two first hanging springs 51 are third hanging springs 511, first ends (lower ends) of the third hanging springs 511 are connected to the first rear outer cylinder 311, and second ends (upper ends) of the third hanging springs 511 are connected to the frame 10. A first reinforcing plate may be provided on the frame 10, a second end of the third hanging spring 511 is provided on the first reinforcing plate, a convex rib is provided on the first rear outer cylinder 311, and a first end of the third hanging spring 511 is provided on the convex rib. It should be noted that the frame may include vertical beams, top beams, bottom beams and cross beams, and may further include a top cross beam between the top beams on the opposite sides, and the first hanging spring may be hung on the top cross beam, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the driving motor is installed on the first rear outer cylinder 311, the third hanging springs 511 at both sides of the first rear outer cylinder 311 respectively apply upward pulling forces to the first rear outer cylinder 311, so that the first outer cylinder is more stable.

In some embodiments, the first hanging spring 51 may further include at least two fifth hanging springs respectively disposed at both sides of the first front outer cylinder 312, and a first end (lower end) of the fifth hanging spring is connected to the first front outer cylinder 312 and a second end (upper end) of the fifth hanging spring is connected to the frame 10. For example, the first hanging spring 51 may be four, two of which are the fifth hanging springs and two of which are the third hanging springs 511.

In some embodiments, in the circumferential direction of the first outer cylinder 31 (lower outer cylinder), the first end of the first hanging spring on one side (left side) of the first outer cylinder 31 is disposed in a range of more than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, and the first end of the first hanging spring on the other side (right side) of the first outer cylinder is disposed in a range of more than 270 degrees and less than 360 degrees, wherein 0 degrees coincides with the longitudinal center line of the first outer cylinder and points upward.

Since the first tub 31 vibrates up and down and left and right during the rotation of the drum washing machine, when the first end of the left first hanging spring is at 0 degree and the first end of the right first hanging spring is at 270 degrees, the vibration of the first tub in the left and right directions cannot be effectively suppressed. When the first end of the first hanging spring on the left side is located at 90 degrees and the first end of the first hanging spring on the right side is located at 360 degrees, the vibration of the first outer cylinder in the vertical direction cannot be effectively inhibited. Therefore, in the embodiment, the first end of the left first hanging spring is arranged in the range of more than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, and the first end of the right first hanging spring is arranged in the range of more than 270 degrees and less than 360 degrees, so that the vibration of the first outer cylinder in the vertical and horizontal directions can be effectively inhibited, and the stability of the first outer cylinder is improved.

In one example, in the circumferential direction of the outer cylinder, the first end of the first hanging spring on one side (left) is disposed in a range of 30 degrees to 60 degrees, and the first end of the first hanging spring on the other side is disposed in a range of 300 degrees to 330 degrees, in the clockwise direction. In this range, the first hanging spring can suppress the vertical and horizontal vibrations of the first outer cylinder 31 at the same time, and the effect is remarkable.

In some embodiments, the dampers 52 may include more than two first dampers 52 respectively disposed at the left and right sides of the first outer cylinder 31, at least two first dampers 52 are third dampers 523, a first end of the third dampers is connected to the frame 10, and a second end of the third dampers is connected to the first rear outer cylinder 311.

In some embodiments, the first damper 52 may further include at least one fifth damper, a first end (lower end) of which is connected to the frame 10 and a second end (upper end) of which is connected to the first front outer cylinder 312. For example, the number of the first dampers 52 may be four, two of which are fifth dampers, respectively disposed on both sides of the first front outer cylinder 312, and two of which are third dampers 523.

In the circumferential direction of the first outer cylinder 31, along the clockwise direction, the second end of the first damper on one side of the first outer cylinder 31 is disposed in a range greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees, and the second end of the first damper on the other side of the first outer cylinder 31 is disposed in a range greater than 180 degrees and less than 270 degrees, wherein 0 degree coincides with the longitudinal center line of the first outer cylinder and points upward.

Since the first outer tub 31 may generate vertical vibration and horizontal vibration during the rotation of the drum washing machine, when the first end of the first damper on the left side is located at 0 degree and the first end of the first damper on the right side is located at 270 degrees, the horizontal vibration of the first outer tub cannot be effectively suppressed. The first end of the first shock absorber on the left side is located at 90 degrees, and when the first end of the first shock absorber on the right side is located at 360 degrees, the vibration of the first outer barrel in the up-and-down direction cannot be effectively inhibited. Therefore, in the embodiment, the first end of the first damper on the left side is arranged in the range larger than 0 degree and smaller than 90 degrees, and the first end of the first damper on the right side is arranged in the range larger than 270 degrees and smaller than 360 degrees, so that the vibration of the first outer cylinder in the vertical and horizontal directions can be effectively inhibited, and the stability of the first outer cylinder is improved.

In one example, in the circumferential direction of the second outer cylinder 32, the second end of the first damper on one side of the second outer cylinder 32 is disposed in a range of more than 120 degrees and less than 150 degrees, and the second end of the second damper on the other side of the second outer cylinder 32 is disposed in a range of more than 210 degrees and less than 240 degrees, along the clockwise direction. In this range, the first damper can suppress the vertical and horizontal vibrations of the first outer cylinder at the same time, and the effect is remarkable.

In one example, the first dampers 52 are provided in three; among them, two of the three first dampers are located at the left side of the first rear outer cylinder 311 and the other is located at the right side of the first rear outer cylinder, or two of the three first dampers 521 are located at the right side of the rear outer cylinder 32 and the other is located at the left side of the first rear outer cylinder 311. For example, the first damper 52 includes three third dampers 523, two left third dampers and one right third damper, the two left third dampers are supported on the left side of the first rear outer cylinder 311, the one right first damper is supported on the right side of the first rear outer cylinder 311, and the right third damper is located between the left third dampers in a direction parallel to the rotation center of the first outer cylinder 31.

In another example, the first dampers 52 are provided in four, each of the third dampers 523; two of the four third dampers 523 are located on the left side of the first rear outer cylinder 311, the other two third dampers are located on the right side of the first rear outer cylinder, and the left and right third dampers 523 are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center line of the rear outer cylinder. Through set up two symmetrical third bumper shock absorbers 523 respectively in first back urceolus left and right sides, support first urceolus respectively, the holding power that first urceolus received is more balanced, and supports intensity higher.

The first shock absorber 52 may be an elastomeric shock absorber, a damping shock absorber. The elastic damper can change the instant force of the outer cylinder 30, and has an obvious supporting effect.

In some embodiments, a weight is disposed on the first front outer cylinder 312 of the first outer cylinder 31, and the weight is disposed on a side of the first front outer cylinder 312 away from the first rear outer cylinder 311. The counterweight force required by the first front outer cylinder 312 is smaller on the side farther from the first rear outer cylinder 311, so that the required counterweight block is smaller in volume, the cost is reduced, and the occupied space is reduced, thereby being beneficial to the arrangement of other components.

In one example, in a direction parallel to the rotation central axis of the first outer cylinder 31, the second end of the third damper 523 is located between the center of the first rear outer cylinder 311 and the front end of the first rear outer cylinder 311, that is, the third damper 523 is close to the first front outer cylinder 312, since there is a counterweight on the first front outer cylinder 312, the driving motor is installed at the rear end of the first rear outer cylinder 311, and the third damper 523 is supported at a position of the first rear outer cylinder 311 closer to the first front outer cylinder 312, so that the front and rear supporting forces of the first outer cylinder 312 are more balanced.

In one example, the two or more third dampers 523 are disposed symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal center line of the first outer cylinder 31.

In some embodiments, the vehicle seat further includes two or more second hanging springs, at least two of the second hanging springs are fourth hanging springs 512, a first end of each fourth hanging spring 512 is connected to the second rear outer cylinder 321, and a second end of each fourth hanging spring 512 is connected to the frame 10.

In some embodiments, the second hanging spring may further include at least two sixth hanging springs respectively disposed at both sides of the second front outer cylinder 322, and first ends (lower ends) of the sixth hanging springs are connected to the second front outer cylinder 322 and second ends (upper ends) of the sixth hanging springs are connected to the frame 10. For example, the number of the second hanging springs may be four, two of which are the sixth hanging springs and two of which are the fourth hanging springs.

A second reinforcing plate may be provided on the frame 10, a second end of the second hanging spring is provided on the second reinforcing plate, a convex rib is provided on the second rear outer cylinder 321, and a first end of the second hanging spring is provided on the convex rib.

Illustratively, two second hanging springs are provided, namely, fourth hanging springs 512, which are respectively provided at the left side and the right side of the second outer cylinder 32; in the circumferential direction of the second outer cylinder 32, along the clockwise direction, the first end of the fourth hanging spring 512 on one side (left side) is disposed in a range greater than 0 degrees and smaller than 90 degrees, and the first end of the fourth hanging spring 512 on the other side is disposed in a range greater than 270 degrees and smaller than 360 degrees, wherein 0 degrees coincides with the longitudinal center line of the second outer cylinder and points upward. As described above, since the second outer tub 32 vibrates vertically and horizontally during the rotation of the drum washing machine, when the first end of the left fourth hanging spring 512 is located at 0 degree and the first end of the right fourth hanging spring 512 is located at 270 degrees, the vibration of the second outer tub 32 in the horizontal direction cannot be effectively suppressed. When the second end of the left fourth hanging spring 512 is located at 90 degrees and the second end of the right fourth hanging spring 512 is located at 360 degrees, the vibration in the up-and-down direction of the second outer tube 32 cannot be effectively suppressed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second end of the left fourth hanging spring 512 is set in a range greater than 0 degrees and smaller than 90 degrees, and the first end of the right fourth hanging spring 512 is set in a range greater than 270 degrees and smaller than 360 degrees, so that the vibration of the second outer cylinder in the vertical and horizontal directions can be effectively suppressed, and the stability of the second outer cylinder can be improved.

In one example, in the circumferential direction of the second outer tube 32, the first end of the fourth hanging spring 512 on one side (left side) is disposed in a range of 30 degrees to 60 degrees, and the first end of the fourth hanging spring 512 on the other side is disposed in a range of 300 degrees to 330 degrees, in the clockwise direction. As described above, in this range, the fourth hook spring 512 can suppress the vibration of the second outer cylinder 32 in the vertical and horizontal directions at the same time, and the effect is remarkable.

In some embodiments, the dampers further include more than two second dampers disposed at the left and right sides of the second outer barrel 32, respectively, at least two second dampers are fourth dampers 524, a first end of the fourth damper 524 is connected to the frame, and a second end of the fourth damper 524 is connected to the second rear outer barrel 321. A second reinforcing member 53 may be disposed on the frame 10, and a first end of the fourth damper 524 is pivotally connected to the second reinforcing member 53.

In the circumferential direction of the second outer cylinder, along the clockwise direction, the second end of the second damper on one side of the second outer cylinder 32 is disposed in a range of more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees, and the second end of the second damper on the other side of the second outer cylinder 32 is disposed in a range of more than 180 degrees and less than 270 degrees, wherein 0 degree coincides with the longitudinal center line of the second outer cylinder 32 and points upward.

As the first outer tub 31 and the first damper are engaged with each other, when the second outer tub 32 vibrates vertically and horizontally during the rotation of the drum washing machine, the first end of the left second damper is at 0 degree, and the first end of the right second damper is at 270 degrees, the vibration of the second outer tub 32 in the horizontal direction cannot be effectively suppressed. The first end of the second shock absorber on the left side is located at 90 degrees, and when the first end of the second shock absorber on the right side is located at 360 degrees, the vibration of the second outer cylinder in the up-and-down direction cannot be effectively inhibited. Therefore, in the embodiment, the first end of the left second damper is arranged in the range larger than 0 degree and smaller than 90 degrees, and the first end of the right second damper is arranged in the range larger than 270 degrees and smaller than 360 degrees, so that the vibration of the second outer cylinder in the vertical and horizontal directions can be effectively inhibited, and the stability of the second outer cylinder is improved.

In one example, in the circumferential direction of the second outer cylinder 32, the second end of the second damper of one side of the second outer cylinder 32 is disposed in a range of 120 degrees to 150 degrees, and the second end of the second damper of the other side of the second outer cylinder 32 is disposed in a range of 210 degrees to 240 degrees, in the clockwise direction. In this range, the second damper can suppress the vertical and horizontal vibrations of the second outer cylinder 32 at the same time, and the effect is remarkable.

In one example, the first end of the fourth damper 524 is located between the center of the second rear outer cylinder 321 and the front end of the second rear outer cylinder in a direction parallel to the rotational center axis of the second outer cylinder 32.

In one example, two or more fourth dampers 524 are symmetrically disposed with respect to a longitudinal centerline of the second outer barrel 32.

In some embodiments, the first suspension spring is inclined with respect to a longitudinal section of the first rear outer cylinder; and/or the second hanging spring is inclined relative to the longitudinal section of the second rear outer cylinder. For example, the first hanging springs on both sides of the first rear outer cylinder 311 may be inclined in a direction approaching each other or inclined in a direction separating from each other. The second hanging springs on both sides of the second rear outer cylinder 321 may be inclined in a direction to approach each other or in a direction to separate from each other. The first hanging spring arranged obliquely can effectively restrain the vibration of the first outer cylinder in the front-back direction and the left-right direction. The second hanging spring arranged obliquely can effectively restrain the vibration of the second outer cylinder in the front-back direction and the left-right direction.

In some embodiments, the third damper is inclined with respect to the longitudinal section of the first rear outer cylinder 311; and/or the fourth damper is inclined with respect to the longitudinal section of the second rear outer cylinder 321. For example, the first dampers at both sides of the first rear outer cylinder 311 may be inclined toward the direction of approaching the batch each other, respectively. The second dampers at both sides of the second rear outer cylinder 321 may be inclined toward the direction of approaching the batch each other, respectively. The first hanging spring arranged obliquely can effectively restrain the vibration of the first outer cylinder in the front-back direction and the left-right direction. The second hanging spring arranged obliquely can effectively restrain the vibration of the second outer cylinder in the front-back direction and the left-right direction.

In some embodiments, the first end of the third hanging spring 511 is located between the center of the first rear outer cylinder and the front end of the first rear outer cylinder in a direction parallel to the rotation center axis of the first outer cylinder 31, that is, the third hanging spring 511 is disposed at a position closer to the first front outer cylinder 312 to be supported at a position closer to the center of gravity of the first outer cylinder 31, and the support is smoother; and/or, in a direction parallel to the rotation center axis of the second outer cylinder 32, the first end of the fourth hanging spring 512 is located between the center of the second rear outer cylinder 321 and the front end of the second rear outer cylinder 321, i.e., the fourth hanging spring 512 is disposed at a position closer to the second front outer cylinder 322 to be supported at a position closer to the center of gravity of the second outer cylinder 32, and the support is smoother.

In some embodiments, the two third hanging springs 511 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the longitudinal center line of the first outer barrel 31, that is, the two third hanging springs 511 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the longitudinal center line of the first outer barrel 31, so as to form a stable support for the first outer barrel 31; and/or the two fourth hanging springs 512 are symmetrically arranged relative to the longitudinal center line of the second outer barrel 32, that is, the two fourth hanging springs 512 are symmetrically arranged left and right relative to the longitudinal center of the second outer barrel 32, so as to stably support the second outer barrel 32.

In some embodiments, the number of the dampers is 3 to 10, and the number of the first dampers among the dampers may be two or more. For example, the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder are of an integral structure, the number of the shock absorbers can be 4, the four shock absorbers are all the first shock absorbers, and the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder can be supported by the 4 first shock absorbers arranged on the first outer cylinder. Or, first urceolus and second urceolus structure as an organic whole, the quantity of bumper shock absorber can be 3, and 3 bumper shock absorbers are first bumper shock absorbers, and first urceolus and the outer cylinder accessible of second set up 3 first bumper shock absorbers on first urceolus and support.

For another example, the first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder are separate bodies, the number of dampers may be 6, 4 of the 6 dampers may be the first damper, 2 may be the second damper 522, the first outer cylinder may be supported by the 4 first dampers, and the second outer cylinder may be supported by the 2 second dampers. Or 3 of the 6 dampers are first dampers, 3 of the 6 dampers are second dampers, the first outer cylinder is supported by the 3 first dampers, and the second outer cylinder is supported by the 3 second dampers. Or, the number of bumper shock absorbers can be 4, 2 of 4 bumper shock absorbers are first bumper shock absorbers, 2 are second bumper shock absorbers, the first outer cylinder supports through 2 first bumper shock absorbers, the second outer cylinder supports through 2 second bumper shock absorbers. Alternatively, the number of the dampers may be 5, 3 of the 5 dampers may be first dampers, and 2 may be second dampers, the first outer cylinder being supported by the 3 first dampers, and the second outer cylinder being supported by the 2 second dampers.

In some embodiments, the ratio of the length of the first rear outer cylinder 311 to the length of the first front outer cylinder 312 in a direction parallel to the rotational center axis of the first outer cylinder 31 is in the range of 5 to 1. The direction parallel to the rotational center axis of the first outer cylinder 31 is the depth direction of the outer cylinder 30, the length of the first rear outer cylinder 311 is also the depth of the first rear outer cylinder 311, and the length of the first front outer cylinder 312 is also the depth of the first front outer cylinder 312, that is, the depth of the first rear outer cylinder 311 is greater than or equal to the depth of the first front outer cylinder 312.

In one example, the ratio of the length of the first rear outer cylinder 311 to the length of the first front outer cylinder 312 may be 4, i.e., the depth of the rear first outer cylinder 312 is 4 times the depth of the front outer cylinder. Since the driving motor is installed on the first rear outer cylinder 311, the first rear outer cylinder 311 needs to bear a large force, and the ratio of the force transmitted to the first rear outer cylinder 311 by the driving motor to the force transmitted to the first front outer cylinder 312 is more than 50%, in order to ensure the strength of the first rear outer cylinder 311, the size of the first rear outer cylinder 311 needs to be larger, and the size of the first front outer cylinder 312 needs to be reduced, so that the strength of the first rear outer cylinder 311 is ensured by properly adjusting the size ratio of the first front outer cylinder 312 to the first rear outer cylinder 311 on the premise of not affecting the size of the whole first outer cylinder 31. Further, since the first rear outer cylinder 311 is increased in size and strength, the damper means for supporting the first outer cylinder 31, for example, the suspension spring 51, the damper 52, and the like, can be attached to the first rear outer cylinder 311, and the first rear outer cylinder 311 receives a larger supporting force.

Since the driving motor is usually located on the first rear outer cylinder 311, the driving force generated when the driving motor rotates is firstly transmitted to the first rear outer cylinder 311, and the first rear outer cylinder 311 generates large vibration, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, since the length of the first outer cylinder 312 is longer than that of the first front outer cylinder 312, the strength of the first rear outer cylinder 311 is guaranteed, and the damping device may be installed on the first rear outer cylinder 311 to support the first rear outer cylinder 311, so as to suppress the large vibration of the first rear outer cylinder 311, reduce noise, and improve the running stability of the drum washing machine.

In some embodiments, further comprising: two first hanging springs respectively disposed at both sides of the first outer cylinder 31; two second hanging springs respectively disposed at both sides of the second outer tube 32; a frame 10 comprising a front vertical beam 11 and a rear vertical beam 12; the shortest distance between the first hanging spring and the plane where the front vertical beam 11 is located is smaller than the shortest distance between the second hanging spring and the plane where the front vertical beam 11 is located. In other words, the first hanging spring is closer to the front than the second hanging spring. Since the first outer cylinder 31 is provided with a counterweight block and the second outer cylinder 32 has no counterweight block, the first hanging spring of the first outer cylinder 31 can be closer to the front than the second hanging spring, so that the first outer cylinder 31 can be better balanced, and the second hanging spring of the second outer cylinder 32 can be closer to the rear than the first hanging spring, so that the second outer cylinder 32 can be better balanced.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the second outer cylinder 32 includes a second front outer cylinder 322 and a second rear outer cylinder 321, the second front outer cylinder 322 is connected with the first front outer cylinder 312 through the first connecting member 33-1, and the second front outer cylinder 322, the first front outer cylinder 312 and the first connecting member 33-1 are integrally formed; and/or the second rear outer cylinder 321 is connected with the first rear outer cylinder 311 through a second connecting piece 33-2, and the second rear outer cylinder 321, the first rear outer cylinder 311 and the second connecting piece 33-2 are integrally formed. A first end of the third hanging spring 511 is connected to the second rear outer cylinder 321 of the second outer cylinder 32, and a second end of the third hanging spring 511 is connected to the frame 10.

The first outer cylinder 31 and the second outer cylinder 32 are connected together, the two cylinders can be mutually balanced, when one cylinder is eccentric and large, the other cylinder can reduce the vibration amplitude by using the self weight, and the function of a configuration block is achieved, so that the vibration amplitude of the whole machine is reduced. Therefore, the additional addition of a balancing weight is not needed, and the weight of the whole machine can be reduced.

The integrally formed first front outer cylinder 312 and second front outer cylinder 322, and the integrally formed first rear outer cylinder 311 and second rear outer cylinder 321 are convenient to install, installation procedures for installing the two cylinders are reduced, and efficiency is improved.

The connecting member integrally formed between the first outer tube 31 and the second outer tube 32 utilizes the space between the first outer tube 31 and the second outer tube 32, and the size of the whole machine can be reduced.

In the case where the first outer cylinder 31 and the second outer cylinder 32 are connected to each other and integrally formed, a damper may be provided between the first outer cylinder 31 and the frame 10 without providing a damper between the second outer cylinder 32 and the frame 10, and a hook spring may be provided between the second outer cylinder 32 and the frame 10 without providing a hook spring between the first outer cylinder 31 and the frame 10. The first outer cylinder and the second outer cylinder are supported by the damper on the first outer cylinder 31 and the hanging spring on the second outer cylinder 32, so that the cost can be saved, the assembly procedures can be reduced, the assembly is convenient, and the stable support can be achieved.
