DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer and more understandable, the present disclosure is described in further detail hereinafter in conjunction with the appended drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of explaining the present disclosure and do not limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field of the present disclosure. Terms used herein in the specification of the present disclosure are used only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
Cleaning devices, such as washing machines and dishwashers, occupy an increasingly important position in people's lives, and also provide many conveniences for people's lives. Currently, there are many types and many brands of cleaning devices, which makes a lot of cleaning devices available for consumers to choose. How to obtain the favor of the consumers and enhance the competitiveness of the product have become a problem that manufacturers of the cleaning devices are paying more and more attention to.
In the related arts, operation noise of the roller assembly in the washing machine is generally reduced by the utilization of an anti-vibration device disposed at the bottom of the frame assembly. However, the setting of the traditional anti-vibration device requires additional occupation of space in the washing machine, which is not conducive to the miniaturization development of the washing machine.
Based on this, there is a need to provide a washing machine that is capable of reducing the occupation of space inside the washing machine by optimizing the mounting structure of the roller assembly, which is conducive to the miniaturization development of the washing machine.
In order to better understand the washing machine of the present disclosure, the following is described in conjunction with the appended drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a washing machine 10 is provided. The washing machine 10 includes a frame assembly 100, a roller assembly 200, and a fixing assembly 300. The frame assembly 100 includes a supporting beam 110, and the supporting beam 110 is provided with a first mounting hole 111. The roller assembly 200 includes a mounting bracket 210, the mounting bracket 210 is provided with a second mounting hole 211, and the second mounting hole 211 is in one-to-one correspondence with the first mounting hole 111. The fixing assembly 300 includes a connecting member 310, a first anti-vibration pad 320, a second anti-vibration pad 330, and a fastener 340. The connecting member 310 includes a connecting portion 311 and a connecting rod 312 protruding from the connecting portion 311, the connecting portion 311 is disposed on the supporting beam 110, and the connecting rod 312 is inserted into the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 211. The first anti-vibration pad 320 is assembled on the connecting rod 312 and fits with the connecting portion 311 to clamp the supporting beam 110. The second anti-vibration pad 330 is assembled on the connecting rod 312 and fits with the first anti-vibration pad 320 to clamp the mounting bracket 210. The fastener 340 is in fastening fit with the connecting rod 312 to fix the first anti-vibration pad 320, the mounting bracket 210, and the second anti-vibration pad 330 to the supporting beam 110. Preferably, the fastening fit refers to a fit in which the components are tightly or securely connected with no movement between them.
When the roller of the washing machine 10 is installed, the first anti-vibration pad 320 is assembled on the connecting rod 312 in a sleeving manner and fits with the connecting portion 311 to clamp the supporting beam 110. The second anti-vibration pad 330 is assembled on the connecting rod 312 in a sleeving manner and fits with the first anti-vibration pad 320 to clamp the mounting bracket 210. Finally, the first anti-vibration pad 320, the mounting bracket 210, and the second anti-vibration pad 330 are fixed to the supporting beam 110 through the fastening fit of the fastener 340 with the connecting rod 312, achieving the fixation of the roller assembly 200 on the frame assembly 100. The first anti-vibration pad 320 and the second anti-vibration pad 330 can be used for anti-vibration to reduce the noise generated during the operation of the roller assembly 200. In this way, the washing machine 10 integrates the anti-vibration structure and the fixed structure by optimizing the mounting structure of the roller assembly 200, achieving the fixation of the roller assembly 200 on the frame assembly 100, which can reduce the occupation of space inside the washing machine 10 and is conducive to the miniaturization development of the washing machine 10.
Understandably, the first anti-vibration pad 320 is clamped between the supporting beam 110 and the mounting bracket 210, avoiding the mounting bracket 210 from rigidly colliding with the supporting beam 110, which can also cushion the vibration generated by the mounting bracket 210. The second anti-vibration pad 330 is clamped between the fastener 340 and the mounting bracket 210, avoiding the mounting bracket 210 from rigidly colliding with the fastener 340, which can also cushion the vibration generated by the mounting bracket 210.
It is to be noted that there are various specific implementations for the roller assembly 200, which may be implemented in traditional technologies and will not be elaborated here.
It is to be noted that there are various specific implementations for the frame assembly 100.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the second anti-vibration pad 330 includes a main body 331 and an inserting body 332. The main body 331 is spaced apart from the first anti-vibration pad 320 and clamps the mounting bracket 210. The inserting body 332 protrudes from the main body 331 and is disposed in the second mounting hole 211 in a protruding manner. In this way, the mounting bracket 210 is clamped by the main body 331 and the first anti-vibration pad 320, and the inserting body 332 is disposed in the second mounting hole 211 in the protruding manner, causing that the connecting rod 312 and the mounting bracket 210 are spaced apart by the inserting body 332, which may further reduce the rigid collision, and reduce the operation noise during the operation of the roller assembly 200.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the first anti-vibration 320 is provided with an insertion groove 321, and at least part of the inserting body 332 is inserted into the insertion groove 321. When the roller assembly 200 is assembled with the frame assembly 100, the inserting body 332 is inserted over the mounting bracket 210 through the second mounting hole 211, the first anti-vibration pad 320 is placed on the mounting bracket 210, and the inserting body 332 is in inserting fit with the first anti-vibration pad 320 through the insertion groove 321, achieving initial positioning of the first anti-vibration pad 320. The connecting rod 312 is then inserted into the first mounting hole 111, the first anti-vibration pad 320, the second anti-vibration pad 330, and the second mounting hole 211 in sequence. Finally, the first anti-vibration pad 320, the mounting bracket 210, and the second anti-vibration pad 330 are fixed to the supporting beam 110 through the fastening fit of the fastener 340 with the connecting rod 312. In this way, the fit of the inserting body 332 with the insertion groove 321 can realize the initial positioning of the first anti-vibration pad 320, and is conducive to enhancing the ease of assembly.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the mounting bracket 210 includes a protruding body 212 disposed at an outer edge of the second mounting hole 211. The protruding body 212 is at least partially annular-shaped, and at least part of the protruding body 212 is inserted into the insertion groove 321. In this way, the first anti-vibration pad 320 is placed on the mounting bracket 210 and is positioned through the fit of the protruding body 212 with the insertion groove 321, and is further positioned through the inserting fit of the insertion groove 321 with the inserting body 332. When the first anti-vibration pad 320 is fixed with the mounting bracket 210 and the second anti-vibration pad 330, the protruding body 212 is in limiting fit with the insertion groove 321, causing that the first anti-vibration pad 320 and the second anti-vibration pad 330 will not be easily shifted.
It is to be noted that there may be various specific shapes for the inserting body 332, including but not limited to, cylindrical, convexly prismatic, and the like, which are capable of realizing the above functions.
In some examples, the protruding body 212 is arcuate-shaped or annular-shaped.
In combination with the above embodiments of the protruding body 212, as shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, one end of the inserting body 332 is provided with a limiting portion 302. The limiting portion 302 is spaced apart from the main body 331 to form a limiting groove 301, and the limiting portion 302 passes through the second mounting hole 211 to make the limiting groove 301 in limiting fit with the protruding body 212. Preferably, the limiting fit refers to a fit that restricts or controls the movement or position of one component relative to another. In this way, when the roller assembly 200 is assembled with the frame assembly 100, the inserting body 332 is inserted over the mounting bracket 210 through the second mounting hole 211 and is in limiting fit with the protruding body 212 through the limiting groove 301, causing that the protruding body 212 is clamped between the main body 331 and the limiting portion 302, and that the second anti-vibration pad 330 is initially fixed to the mounting bracket 210, which is conducive to enhancing the ease of assembly.
In some examples, the limiting portion 302 is arcuate-shaped or annular-shaped.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, a guiding portion 303 is provided on an inner side of the second mounting hole 211 and/or an outer side of the limiting portion 302. In this way, by the utilization of the guiding portion 303, it is convenient to guide the limiting portion 302 into the second mounting hole 211, causing that the inserting body 332 can be smoothly inserted into the second mounting hole 211, which enhances the ease of assembly.
It is to be noted that there are various specific implementations for the guiding portion 303, which may include but be not limited to a reverse round angle structure or a reverse taper angle structure.
In some examples, the guiding portion 303 is in the shape of a reverse taper angle and is provided at a free end of the limiting portion 302, which is easy to machine and implement.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments of the limiting portion 302, as shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the limiting portion 302 is in squeezing fit with the insertion groove 321. Preferably, the squeezing fit refers to a fit where one component is compressed or pressed into position against another component. In this way, through the squeezing fit of the limiting portion 302 with the insertion groove 321, the first anti-vibration pad 320, the mounting bracket 210 and the second anti-vibration pad 330 can be initially fixed together, which facilitates the alignment and insertion of the connecting rod 312, and is conducive to the improvement of the assembly efficiency.
It is to be noted that the "inserting body 332" may be "a part of the second anti-vibration pad 330", i.e., the "inserting body 332" is manufactured integrally with the "other parts of the second anti-vibration pad 330, e.g., the main body 331"; or the "inserting body 332" may be a separable and independent component from the "other parts of the second anti-vibration pad 330, e.g., the main body 331", i.e., the "inserting body 332" may be manufactured independently, and then be assembled with the "other parts of the second anti-vibration pad 330, e.g., the main body 331", to form an integral whole.
Equivalently, "a certain body" or "a certain portion" may be a part of a corresponding "component", i.e., "a certain body" or "a certain portion" is manufactured integrally with the "other parts of the component"; or "a certain body" or "a certain portion" may be a separable and independent component from the "other parts of the component", i.e., "a certain body" or "a certain portion" may be manufactured independently, and then be assembled with the "other parts of the component" to form an integral whole.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in some embodiments, the first anti-vibration pad 320 is provided with a first fitting hole 322 and a plurality of first squeezing protrusions 323 disposed in the first fitting hole 322. The first fitting hole 322 is in sleeving fit with the connecting rod 312. The plurality of the first squeezing protrusions 323 are spaced along a depth direction of the first fitting hole 322 and are in squeezing fit with the connecting rod 312. Preferably, the sleeving fit refers to a fit where one component (the sleeve) encompasses or surrounds another. In this way, through the squeezing fit of the plurality of the first squeezing protrusions 323 with the connecting rod 312, the first anti-vibration pad 320 is tightly connected to the connecting rod 312, and will not be easily shifted, resulting in a good anti-vibration effect.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, in some embodiments, the second anti-vibration pad 330 is provided with a second fitting hole 333 and a plurality of second squeezing protrusions 334 disposed in the second fitting hole 333. The second fitting hole 333 is in sleeving fit with the connecting rod 312. The plurality of the second squeezing protrusions 334 are spaced along a depth direction of the second fitting hole 333 and are in squeezing fit with the connecting rod 312. In this way, through the squeezing fit of the plurality of the second squeezing protrusions 334 with the connecting rod 312, the second anti-vibration pad 330 is tightly connected to the connecting rod 312, and will not be easily shifted, resulting in a good anti-vibration effect.
It is to be noted that there may be various specific shapes for the first squeezing protrusion 323 and the second squeezing protrusion 334, including but not limited to, convex ridges, convex points, convex arcs, convex annuluses, and so on.
In some examples, the first squeezing protrusion 323 forms a convex annulus shape; and/or the second squeezing protrusion 334 forms a convex annulus shape.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the first anti-vibration pad 320 is provided with at least two first anti-vibration grooves 324 spaced along an outer periphery direction of the first anti-vibration pad 320. A length direction of the first anti-vibration groove 324 is arranged along a length direction of the connecting rod 312. In this way, by providing the first anti-vibration grooves 324, it is favorable to improve the anti-vibration effect of the first anti-vibration pad 320 along its length direction, i.e., to improve the anti-vibration effect along the longitudinal direction of the roller.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, in some embodiments, the second anti-vibration pad 330 is provided with at least two second anti-vibration grooves 335 spaced along a length direction of the second anti-vibration pad 330. The second anti-vibration grooves 335 are disposed on an outer side of the second anti-vibration pad 330 and are at least partially arcuate-shaped. In this way, by providing the second anti-vibration grooves 325, it is favorable to improve the anti-vibration effect of the second anti-vibration pad 330 along its length direction, i.e., to improve the anti-vibration effect along the longitudinal direction of the roller.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the connecting portion 311 is fixedly connected to the supporting beam 110. In this way, the connecting member 310 is firmly fixed to the supporting beam 110, and the rigid collision will not occur easily, which is conducive to further reducing the operation noise of the washing machine 10.
In some examples, the connecting portion 311 is fixed with the supporting beam 110 through bonding or welding.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the connecting member 310 is a bolt, the connecting portion 311 is a nut, and the connecting rod 312 is a screw. In this way, by utilizing a bolt as the connecting member 310, it is easy to manufacture and has a low implementation cost, which is conducive to reducing the assembly cost of the washing machine 10.
It should be understood that the fastener 340 may be a nut that is in threaded connection fit with a bolt.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown back in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the frame assembly 100 includes a frame body 120, and the frame body 120 is provided with a carrying surface 121. The supporting beam 110 is fixedly connected to the frame body 120. The supporting beam 110 and the carrying surface 121 are spaced and oppositely arranged. In this way, the roller assembly 200 is spaced apart from the carrying surface 121, reducing the occupation of space at the bottom of the washing machine 10. At the same time, it is conducive to reducing the vibration generated by the movement of the roller assembly 200 to be transmitted to the ground, further improving the quietness of the washing machine 10.
It is to be noted that the specific fit manners of the connecting member 310 and the fastener 340 include, but are not limited to, screwing fits, snapping fits, riveting fits, and the like.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the connecting rod 312 is a screw, and the fastener 340 is provided with an internally threaded hole 341. The internally threaded hole 341 is in threaded connection fit with the screw. Preferably, the threaded connection fit refers to a connection in which the threads of two components interlock to secure them together. In this way, the detachable fit of the internally threaded hole 341 with the screw facilitates the later maintenance or replacement of the first anti-vibration pad 320, the mounting bracket 210, and the second anti-vibration pad 330.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the fixing assembly 300 further includes a lock washer 350, and the fastener 340 squeezes the second anti-vibration pad 330 through the lock washer 350. In this way, the utilization of the lock washer 350 makes the fastener 340 and the screw fit firmly, and looseness will not occur easily, which is conducive to maintaining quietness during long-term operation of the roller assembly 200.
It is to be noted that the "supporting beam 110" may be one of the parts of the module "frame assembly", i.e., the "supporting beam 110" may be assembled into a module with the "other parts of the frame assembly" and then be assembled modularly; or the "supporting beam 110" may be relatively independent of the "other parts of the frame assembly" and may be mounted separately, i.e., the "supporting beam 110" may be formed into an integral whole with the "other parts of the frame assembly" in the present device.
Equivalently, the components included in the "assembly", "portion" and "device" of the present disclosure, may be flexibly combined, i.e., the components may be modularly produced based on actual conditions and be modularly assembled as a separate module; or the components may be assembled separately to form a module in the present device.
