Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The used directional words such as "up, down, front, back, left, right, horizontal and vertical" are defined according to the placing position of the clothes treating apparatus when in use, and the direction indicated by the arrow in fig. 1 can be specifically referred to. The "inner and outer" are relative to the self-profile of the corresponding component. Moreover, when the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

The present disclosure exemplarily provides a frame 1 of a laundry treating apparatus for receiving and supporting a drum of the laundry treating apparatus, the frame1 includes a plurality of vertical beams 100 and a plurality of cross beams 200 connected between adjacent vertical beams 100. The specific number and position of the vertical beams 100 and the horizontal beams 200 can be adaptively adjusted according to the weight, arrangement position, structural size and other parameters of the inner cylinder, and at least one installation and connection mode of welding, bonding or splicing can be adopted between the vertical beams 100 and the horizontal beams 200. Wherein the dimension D of the beam 200 in the height direction ₁ The ratio of the height H of the frame 1 and the dimension D of the vertical beam 100 in the front-rear direction ₂ The ratio of the height H to the height H of the framework 1 is 1.

In the above description, "the dimension D of the cross member 200 in the height direction ₁ "and" the dimension D of the vertical beam 100 in the front-rear direction ₂ "in the height direction, i.e., the up-down direction," up-down "and" front-back "are both directions with respect to the already-installed frame 1 in fig. 1, and can be understood with reference to the direction indicated by the arrow in fig. 1.

It should also be noted that the dimension D of the cross member 200 in the height direction ₁ And a dimension D of the vertical beam 100 in the front-rear direction ₂ Which may be the same or different, e.g., the dimension D of the cross member 200 in the height direction ₁ The value 1 ₂ The value 1 ₁ And the dimension D of the vertical beam 100 in the front-rear direction ₂ Take the same values.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can have the following beneficial effects: by optimizing the size proportion range between the beam body and the height of the whole machine, the framework 1 is balanced in strength and quality of the whole machine, the safety of the clothes treatment equipment in the using process can be guaranteed, vibration displacement is reduced, and meanwhile, the manufacturing cost and the transportation cost can be reasonably controlled due to the fact that the strength of the whole machine is not increased based on the quality.

Compared with galvanized steel sheets and the like generally adopted in the related art, the steel sheet can provide higher strength and simultaneously brings higher overall quality. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cross beam 200 and the vertical beam 100 may be made of aluminum profiles. The density of the steel plate is about7.83g/cm ³ The density of the aluminum material is about 2.7g/cm ³ Therefore, on the basis of providing the same strength, the framework 1 adopting the aluminum profile can reduce the weight by 1/3 to 1/2, and the aluminum profile adopts an extrusion process, so that the die is simple, the forming is accurate and the cost is lower. Of course, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other materials capable of providing lighter weight and higher strength can be selected according to actual needs.

The vertical beams 100 and the horizontal beams 200 may have the same structure, and the "same structure" may refer to a structure, for example, the vertical beams 100 and the horizontal beams 200 are configured to have the same sectional shape, but are proportional to each other in size, and in this case, the size D of the horizontal beam 200 in the height direction ₁ And the dimension D of the vertical beam 100 in the front-rear direction ₂ Can be adjusted freely according to the needs. Alternatively, in order to save the cost of opening the mold, the vertical beam 100 and the horizontal beam 200 may be cut from the same beam, in which case the dimension D of the horizontal beam 200 in the height direction is also defined ₁ And the dimension D of the vertical beam 100 in the front-rear direction ₂ Are equal. In addition, the vertical beams 100 and the cross beams 200 are cut from the same beam body, which is also beneficial to ensuring the dimension D of the cross beams 200 in the height direction ₁ And the dimension D of the vertical beam 100 in the front-rear direction ₂ And improve the mounting accuracy.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, the vertical beam 100 and the horizontal beam 200 may be respectively configured as a trough-shaped beam body 2011, a cavity channel 2012 extends along the length direction inside the beam body 2011, and the cavity channel 2012 may serve as an installation and fixing position of a complete machine wire harness, compared with a manner that a large number of straps are required to bind and fix in the related art, the installation process of the wire harness is simplified, and the wire harness is hidden inside the beam body 2011, so that the complete machine looks more beautiful. The cavity 2012 not only serves the purpose of mounting the wire harness, but also can further improve the strength of the beam 2011, in other words, the cavity 2012 can serve as a reinforcing structure of the beam 2011. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the channel 2012 may be configured as a closed structure with a square cross section, and the closed structure has a high deformation resistance strength while providing a sufficient space for the wire harness to pass through. Meanwhile, in order to reduce the influence of the mass increase of the beam 2011 caused by the arrangement of the cavity channel 2012 as much as possible, the inner wall surface of the beam 2011 forms at least one edge of the closed structure. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, in the channel 2012, which is formed as a square closed structure in cross section, two sides thereof are formed by the inner wall of the beam body, and such a square closed structure is also easier to implement in the extrusion process.

The present disclosure does not limit the specific shape of the framework 1, or the present disclosure does not limit the number of the vertical beams 100 and the horizontal beams 200 used and the specific connection form, and in some embodiments, the horizontal beams 200 may include upper and lower horizontal beams respectively disposed at both ends of the vertical beams 100, and an intermediate beam disposed between the upper and lower horizontal beams, the intermediate beam dividing the framework 1 into an upper space and a lower space. By way of example of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the framework 1 comprises four vertical beams 100, namely a left front vertical beam 101, a right front vertical beam 102, a left rear vertical beam 103 and a right rear vertical beam 104, and the four vertical beams 100 form four vertices of a rectangle in a plane. The cross member 200 includes a left upper cross member 201 and a left lower cross member 203 connected between the left front vertical member 101 and the left rear vertical member 103, a right upper cross member 202 and a right lower cross member 204 connected between the right front vertical member 102 and the right rear vertical member 104, and a left intermediate beam 205 disposed between the left upper cross member 201 and the left lower cross member 203, a right intermediate beam 206 disposed between the right upper cross member 202 and the right lower cross member 204. Further, it is advantageous to improve the structural strength of the frame 1 by providing the intermediate beam, and to divide the frame 1 into an upper space and a lower space by the intermediate beam, so that the frame 1 is used for the laundry treating apparatus having the double drum.

The frame 1 may further include a reinforcing beam 300 having both ends connected to the adjacent two vertical beams 100, respectively, and the reinforcing beam 300 and the cross beams 200 at both sides form an accommodating space having an open front, in which the drum is supported and accommodated.

Furthermore, the position of the reinforcement beam 300 in the height direction may correspond to the cross beam 200, for example, in fig. 1, the reinforcement beam 300 is disposed at the same height as the upper cross beam, the lower cross beam and the middle beam, however, in other embodiments, the reinforcement beam 300 may be disposed at a height offset from the cross beam, i.e., lower or higher than the height position of the cross beam 200.

The zigzag structure provides a good deformation resistance, thereby contributing to the structural strength of the frame 1. And the two ends of the reinforcing beam main body 301 are turned outwards to form flanges, which is also beneficial to increasing the installation contact area of the reinforcing beam 300 and the vertical beams 100 at the two ends, such as increasing the welding area. In addition, the space formed by the C-shaped reinforcing beam main body 301 can be used for passing a wire harness or a water pipe.

Although the cross members 200 are provided on the left and right sides of the frame 1 in the embodiment including the reinforcing beam 300 as shown in fig. 1, the number of intermediate beams may be increased or the positions of the intermediate beams may be changed according to actual needs in some other embodiments, and for example, the cross members 200 may be provided in positions instead of the reinforcing beam 300 in embodiments that do not include the reinforcing beam 300 or in which the reinforcing beam 300 is not provided on the rear side of the frame 1 as in fig. 1.
