具体实施方式
应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。
本发明的技术方案可以采用不同结构的锁扣件对波轮10在转轴20轴向上的锁固。如图7至9所示,在本发明的一最佳实施例中,上述波轮连接组件包括花键30和锁扣件,其中所述波轮10通过花键与所述转轴20联接,所述锁扣件与所述转轴20卡合固定连接,且与所述波轮10固定连接,以限制所述波轮10在转轴20的轴向移动。
具体地,在本实施例中,上述锁扣件包括波轮锁套45、波轮锁盖46和锁芯47;其中所述波轮锁套45与所述波轮10固定连接,所述波轮锁盖46与所述波轮锁套45卡合固定连接,所述锁芯47与所述波轮锁盖46卡合固定连接;所述波轮锁盖46具有一容置腔,所述转轴20的一端穿过所述波轮10和波轮锁套45位于所述容置腔内,且与所述锁芯47卡合固定连接。
上述锁芯47包括把手部471以及由把手部471向同一侧延伸的两弹性卡扣472和两夹持臂473,所述两弹性卡扣472位于两夹持臂473的外侧;所述波轮锁盖46上设有供所述锁芯47插入所述容置腔的插孔以及位于所述插孔两侧且与所述两弹性卡扣472适配的固定孔;所述转轴20上设有呈环形设置的第三凹槽24,所述两夹持臂473位于所述第三凹槽24内,且夹持固定所述转轴20。
在本实施例中,波轮锁盖46朝向波轮锁套45的一侧设有卡爪以及定位柱,波轮锁套45对应卡爪的位置设有方形孔,对应定位柱的位置设有定位孔。安装时,可以首先将波轮锁盖46通过卡爪和定位柱配合安装形成一个整体,然后将这个整体通过螺钉固定的方式安装固定在波轮10上。最后将锁芯47通过插孔插入到容置腔中,并由两夹持臂夹持在第三凹槽24内,直至两弹性卡扣472卡合固定在对应的固定孔内,以限制波轮10在转轴20的轴向运动。
本发明提供一种洗衣机,参照图1至图6,在其他一实施例中,所述洗衣机包括波轮10、减速离合器和波轮连接组件,所述减速离合器具有转轴20,所述波轮连接组件与所述转轴20卡合固定连接,以将所述波轮10与转轴20可拆卸固定连接。
本发明实施例通过设置波轮连接组件,由波轮连接组件与转轴卡合固定连接,以实现波轮10与转轴20可拆卸固定连接。从而相对于现有技术中采用螺钉的方式进行固定,可以有效降低波轮10的拆卸难度,从而减小洗衣机拆装时对零部件的损坏,延长了洗衣机的使用寿命。
可以理解的是,上述波轮连接组件的结构可以根据实际需要进行设置,例如,在一实施例中,该波轮连接组件将波轮10与转轴20可拆卸固定连接,所述波轮连接组件包括花键30和锁扣件,其中所述波轮10通过花键30与所述转轴20联接,所述锁扣件与所述转轴20可拆卸固定连接,且与所述波轮10抵接,以限制所述波轮10在转轴20的轴向移动。
上述波轮连接组件主要应用于波轮洗衣机中,以实现波轮10和转轴20的固定。本实施例中,上述转轴20为用于控制波轮10转动的减速离合器转轴。具体地,可以在波轮10上表面的中心位置设有一容置空间,用于安装并收容锁扣件,且容置空间的侧壁与锁扣件的外壁之间存在间隙,以供用户进行拆卸使用。
本发明通过采用花键30将波轮10与所述转轴20联接,以限制波轮10与转轴20之间的相对转动,同时通过锁扣件与所述转轴20可卡合固定连接,以限制所述波轮10在转轴20的轴向移动;由于采用卡合固定的方式对波轮10固定,相对于现有技术中采用螺钉的方式进行固定,可以有效降低波轮10的拆卸难度,从而减小洗衣机拆装时对零部件的损坏,延长了洗衣机的使用寿命。
可以理解的是,上述锁扣件的结构可以根据实际需要进行设置,本实施例中,优选地,上述锁扣件包括锁扣套件41、锁扣主体42、锁压弹簧43和卡簧圈44;所述锁扣套件41设有收容所述锁扣主体42的通孔412,所述通孔412的底端凸设有限位台阶411;所述锁扣主体42在所述通孔412内可沿通孔412的轴向移动,且所述锁扣主体42的底端向内凹陷形成用于收容所述转轴20的收容腔421;所述锁压弹簧43的顶端与所述锁扣主体42抵接,底端与所述限位台阶411抵接;所述卡簧圈44与锁扣主体42的外壁可拆卸固定连接,且位于所述限位台阶411下方,与所述限位台阶411抵接,以限制所述锁扣主体42在所述通孔412内沿通孔412的轴向移动的距离;所述锁扣主体42外壁对应所述限位台阶411的位置设有贯穿所述收容腔421的限位孔423,所述限位孔423内设有限位凸块422,所述限位凸块422与所述转轴20上预设的限位槽21相互抵持卡合。
具体地,上述锁扣主体42的外壁设有与所述卡簧圈44适配的卡槽424;所述卡簧圈44位于所述卡槽424内,且与所述锁扣主体42卡合固定连接。上述限位台阶411的形状可以根据实际需要进行设置,优选地,该限位台阶411为环形台阶。具体地,该环形台阶的内径小于卡簧圈44的外径,以使得锁扣主体42在锁压弹簧43作用力向上运动时,卡簧圈44可以与限位台阶411抵持,以限制锁扣主体42继续向上运动。可以理解的是,锁扣主体42用于抵接锁压弹簧43的结构可以根据实际需要进行设置,本实施例中,优选地,可以由锁扣主体42顶端的外壁向外延伸形成一环形台阶进行抵接。
进一步地,上述限位孔423和限位凸块422的结构均可根据实际需要进行设置,本实施例中,优选地,上述限位孔423为锥形孔,且锥形孔与收容腔421连通的一端内径小于另一端的内径;所述限位凸块422为球体。具体地,该限位凸块422的数量和位置可以根据实际需要进行设置,优选地,为了保证平衡稳定性,上述限位凸块422至少为4个,且均匀设置于所述锁扣主体42的同一圆周上。为了方便安装,上述限位槽21优选为环形凹槽。
安装时,首先波轮10通过花键30与转轴20联接;接着将限位凸块422分别装入对应的限位孔423内,然后在锁扣主体42的外圈上套上锁压弹簧43后,插入到锁扣套件41的通孔412中,使得锁压弹簧43与锁扣套件41的限位台阶411抵接;继续施加向下的作用力,使得弹簧产生形变,以使锁扣主体42底部穿出通孔412,接着在锁扣主体42的卡槽424内安装固定卡簧圈44,从而形成锁扣件。
再接着将锁扣件置于波轮10上,使得锁扣主体42的收容腔421部分收容转轴20;然后施加外力将锁扣主体42下压,让锁扣主体42沿锁压弹簧43的收缩方向发生相对运动,并使得限位台阶411与限位凸块422错位,同时限位凸块422向锁扣主体42和锁扣套件41之间的间隙运动,为转轴20提供避让位。当限位凸块422正对转轴20上的限位槽21时,限位凸块422向限位槽21内滑动,此时撤去外力,锁扣件将恢复自然状态;限位凸块422的一端与限位槽21抵持,另一端将与限位台阶411抵接,从而实现锁扣件与转轴20卡合;在锁压弹簧43的作用力下锁扣套件41将抵持压紧波轮10,以限制波轮在转轴20的轴向运动。
在拆卸时,仅需要将锁扣套件41上提,使得限位台阶411与限位凸块422错位,让限位台阶411具有避让空间,然后向上提起锁扣件即可。
进一步地,基于上述实施例,本实施例中,上述波轮连接组件还包括保护盖50和盖压弹簧60,所述保护盖50上设有收容所述锁扣件的收容孔53;所述保护盖50的底面设有若干卡扣51,所述卡扣51与波轮上预设的卡孔12相互卡合;所述盖压弹簧60的一端与所述保护盖50的底面抵接,另一端与所述波轮10抵接。
本实施例中,为了方便盖压弹簧60的安装,上述波轮10上设有用于收容所述盖压弹簧60的第一凹槽11,所述盖压弹簧60与所述波轮10抵接的一端位于所述第一凹槽11内。此外,上述保护盖50的底面还设有加强筋52,所述加强筋52与所述波轮10上预设的导向孔13配合,以对所述保护盖50沿所述收容孔53的轴向运行进行导向。
具体地,安装时,首先将盖压弹簧60置于第一凹槽11内,并通过作用力下压保护盖50,使得卡扣51穿过卡孔12,同时加强筋52穿过导向孔13,释放压力后,通过盖压弹簧60与卡扣51配合将保护盖50固定。此时保护盖50的上表面与锁扣套件41的上表面平齐。在保护盖50上下压即可为锁扣套件41的安装和拆卸腾出手指的操作空间;优选地,加强筋52和收容孔53形成的收容空间呈倒置的凸台结构,并当保护盖50上升到最高位置时(即保护盖50的上表面与锁扣套件41的上表面平齐时),加强筋52和收容孔53形成的收容空间与锁扣套件41的倒置凸台外形相契合,以限制保护盖50脱离。
可以理解的是,上述卡扣51和加强筋52的数量可根据实际需要进行设置,本实施例中为了保证保护盖固定的稳定性,优选地,卡扣51和加强筋52均为四条,且四条卡扣51均匀分布在靠近保护盖50外侧的同一圆周上,四条加强筋52均匀分布在靠近保护盖50内侧的同一圆周上。
参照图10至图14,在另一实施例中,上述波轮连接组件还可以采用其他结构,以下对此进行详细说明。
优选地,在本实施例中上述波轮连接组件为波轮锁扣。在本实施例中提供的洗衣机包括波轮锁扣70、波轮10和减速离合器。减速离合器的中部有竖直设置的转轴20,波轮10安装在转轴20的上部,波轮10包括安装通孔80,转轴20的顶端从安装通孔80中伸出,波轮锁扣70设有安装槽78以及卡扣部73,所述卡扣部73突伸出所述安装槽78的内壁而延伸入所述安装槽78中,转轴20上设置有与卡扣部73配合的卡扣配合部22,卡扣部73与卡扣配合部22配合将波轮10紧固在转轴20上。在本实施例中,所述卡扣配合部22优选为呈环形设置的第二凹槽。
本发明的洗衣机通过波轮锁扣70将波轮10紧固在减速离合器的顶端,无需借助外界工具、通过简单的手部动作就可以实现波轮10的快速安装和拆卸,使得波轮10的拆卸和安装变得方便快捷,且在拆卸安装过程中对零件损伤较小,利于波轮等零部件的清洁。
本实施例的波轮锁扣70的具体结构为:如图12所示,包括中空圆柱状的锁主体71、锁套件72、弹性件75、轴向限位件76和卡扣部73,锁主体71的中空部形成安装槽78,其中卡扣部73优选为四个钢球,其刚性好且不易磨损;弹性件75优选为压簧,在其他的实施例中也可以选用其他回弹性好的弹性件;轴向限位件76优选为卡簧;压簧75和锁套件72均为空心圆柱体,锁主体71包括空心圆柱状的主体712和在主体712的顶端形成的圆柱状的密封部713,密封部713的半径大于主体712的外半径;锁套件72通过卡簧76套装在锁主体71的外部,所述锁套件72自锁主体71底端内侧向内延伸设有突起部721,卡簧76卡扣在突起部721的底部,压簧75置于锁主体71和锁套件72之间并套在锁主体71上,密封部713位于锁套件72内且压扣在压簧75的顶部;锁主体71的下端沿在圆周上设有四个沿径向延伸、贯通锁主体71的外部和安装槽78的通道的圆台状通道711,其靠近安装槽78处的孔径小于远离安装槽78处的孔径,四个圆台状通道711均匀地分布在锁主体71的圆周上,四个钢球73分别放置在四个圆台状通道711内并可以在其内移动;锁套件72的底端内侧对应于圆台状通道711的位置设有四个突起部721,用于顶紧四个钢球73,压簧75的底部与突起部721的顶部接触;当施加外力时,锁主体71与锁套件72可以沿压簧75压缩的方向相对运动,锁套件72的突起部721与钢球73的位置错位,锁主体71与锁套件72之间在钢球73的位置处留出了一定的空隙,钢球73在波轮锁扣70的圆台状通道711可以径向移动。
进一步地,如图13所示,转轴20上部沿轴向设置有第一花键23,安装通孔80内壁设置有与第一花键23配合的第二花键81。波轮10通过第一花键23和第二花键81的配合安装在转轴20上。
具体地,在安装波轮锁扣70时,一手按压锁主体71,另一只手将锁套件72往向上的方向提拉,锁套件72相对于锁主体71向上运动,锁套件72的内侧突起部721与钢球73所在位置发生错位,锁主体71与锁套件72之间在钢球73的位置处留出了一定的空间,钢球73在圆台形通道内向远离锁扣本体11的方向移动。将波轮锁扣70套装在转轴20的顶端,使卡扣部73伸出卡扣在第二凹槽22内,当波轮锁扣70的钢球73与减速离合器的转轴20的第二凹槽22对齐时,钢球73从圆台状通道711内露出的部分卡扣在第二凹槽22内;此时,撤去外力作用,波轮锁扣70的钢球73与减速离合器的转轴20的第二凹槽22配合并被锁套件72内侧的突起部721顶紧,实现波轮锁扣70与减速离合器的转轴20的配合联接。
在拆卸波轮10时,用手将锁套件72往向上的方向提拉,锁套件72相对于锁主体71向上运动,锁套件72的内侧突起部721与钢球73所在位置发生错位,钢球73被减速离合器的转轴20挤入锁套件72与锁主体71之间的缝隙内,整个波轮锁扣70从减速离合器的转轴20上方脱离,这样就可以很容易的将波轮10从减速离合器的转轴20上拆卸下来,无需任何额外的辅助工具,使得波轮10的拆卸和安装变得方便快捷,且在拆卸过程中对零件损伤较小,利于波轮等零部件的清洁。
本发明提出的洗衣机,其波轮10通过花键的方式联接到减速离合器的转轴20上,然后再通过一个波轮锁扣70与减速离合器转轴20的连接配合将波轮10紧固到减速离合器的转轴20上,使得波轮10的拆卸和安装变得方便快捷,且拆卸安装过程中对零件损伤较小,利于波轮10的清洁,延长了洗衣机的整机使用寿命。
需要说明的是,本实施例中的波轮锁扣70和波轮10为分开的装置,在其他的实施例中,波轮锁扣70可以固定地设置在波轮10上,锁套件72与波轮10固定连接,对锁套件72施加外力时,可使波轮10从减速离合器上弹出,方便波轮10的安装和拆卸。
可以理解的是,上述波轮的材质可以根据实际需要进行设置,本实施例中,优选地,上述波轮10由不锈钢材料制成的。由于采用金属结构制成波轮,从而在结构上有相当强的硬度,其底面没有塑料波轮那样为加强强度而起的一系列的筋,进而波轮连接组件和波轮的搭配使用使得清洗更加方便,造型简洁美观。
以上仅为本发明的优选实施例,并非因此限制本发明的专利范围,凡是利用本发明说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构或等效流程变换,或直接或间接运用在其他相关的技术领域,均同理包括在本发明的专利保护范围内。
