Background
The household electrical appliance is generally provided with a leveling device at the bottom of a shell, the household electrical appliance can be placed stably by adjusting the leveling device, and the household electrical appliance can be supported and kept stable after being placed after being leveled.
Taking a washing machine as an example, the bolt footing is generally installed at the bottom of a shell or the whole washing machine in the prior art, the bolt footing comprises a screw rod, a nut gasket and a rubber pad, the nut gasket can rotate up and down on the screw rod, the screw rod can also rotate up and down in a screw hole of a bottom plate of the shell, the height of the washing machine can be adjusted by the length of the screw rod of the bolt footing screwed into the screw hole of the bottom plate, the feet of most washing machines rotate anticlockwise for height adjustment, and rotate clockwise for height reduction, and after the height of the bolt footing is adjusted, the nut gasket which is prevented from loosening is screwed down to keep stable.
The bottom foot of the washing machine realizes the leveling of the washing machine, but needs manual adjustment by a user, and if the washing machine has heavy dead weight or the setting space is narrow, the operation of the user is inconvenient. In addition, the vibration of the washing machine in the long-term working process also acts on the flat bottom of the exchange, so that the support of the washing machine is easy to lose efficacy, and the washing machine is not placed flatly.
For example, the existing 8KG drum washing machine is generally about 80KG, heavy, inconvenient for consumers to adjust, and even if the adjustment is completed, the adjustment of the washing machine cannot be guaranteed to be in the best state, and once the washing machine is not horizontal or has leg weakness problems when the washing machine is used for spin-drying and dewatering from 0r/min to 1400r/min, the washing machine will vibrate greatly, and the use comfort of the consumers is greatly influenced.
In addition, vibration caused by the unevenness of the washing machine may loosen the foot screw to move the foot bracket vertically, and such instability may change the horizontal state of the washing machine, resulting in more intense vibration. The vicious circle prolongs the time for the washing machine, the noise becomes bigger and bigger, certain damage is caused to the washing machine, and the service life is shortened.
Therefore, the leveling of the existing washing machine has the problems of time and labor waste and poor precision due to the fact that manual adjustment is needed.

the household appliance with the feet for the household appliance comprises a shell, wherein a plurality of feet for the household appliance are arranged at the bottom of the shell, and a hydraulic medium filled in the feet for the household appliance can circulate among the feet for the household appliance to level.
When the household electrical appliance such as a washing machine is used for dewatering, the washing inner drum and the internal clothes rotate at a high speed, a large centrifugal force exists, if the clothes are unevenly distributed, eccentricity is probably caused, and large vibration of the washing machine is caused. After the washing machine transmits the force which changes repeatedly during vibration to the bottom feet for the household appliances, hydraulic media can flow between the bottom feet for the household appliances, viscous resistance exists in the flow of the hydraulic media between the bottom feet, and vibration energy loss is carried out on the reciprocating motion of the adjusting feet in the protective sleeve; on the other hand, the friction damping assembly arranged between the sheath and the adjusting foot generates friction damping to damp the vibration energy of the washing machine.

Therefore, the friction damping component arranged in the foot for the household appliance effectively attenuates the vibration amplitude of the adjusting foot in the sheath, but has no influence on the maximum distance H of the adjusting foot moving in the sheath, namely the maximum range of the self-leveling of the foot for the household appliance on the household appliance is not influenced.
In addition, the elastic buffer element is arranged in the bottom foot for the household appliance, and is mainly used for buffering the vibration impact force from the whole household appliance, the movement of the adjusting foot in the sheath is reduced by the elastic buffer element, the whole vibration amplitude of the household appliance is further reduced, and the automatic leveling, shock absorption and noise reduction of the household appliance are realized.
In order to reduce the shock and impact of the entire household appliance to all feet of the household appliance, the elastic buffer element absorbs the energy of the shock and impact, and the elastic buffer element is an energy storage element in the feet of the household appliance, but cannot be stored temporarily, and consumes the energy which is not good for the stability of the feet of the household appliance.
The hydraulic medium in the feet for the household appliances can mutually circulate between the feet for the household appliances which are mutually communicated through the high-pressure oil pipe, the viscous damping of the flowing of the hydraulic medium between the feet for the household appliances, the friction between the high-pressure oil pipe and the hydraulic medium and the liquid intramolecular friction of the hydraulic medium form the damping force for the vibration of the washing machine, so that the vibration energy of the feet for the household appliances and the household appliances is converted into heat energy, and the heat energy is absorbed by the hydraulic medium, the feet for the household appliances and the high-pressure oil pipe and then is scattered into the atmosphere.
The elastic buffer element buffers the vibration impact force from the whole household appliance, absorbs the energy of vibration and impact, reduces the movement of the adjusting foot in the sheath, and further reduces the overall vibration amplitude of the household appliance; the friction damping assembly between the protecting sleeve and the regulating foot produces friction damping to damp the vibration energy of the washing machine and speed the elastic buffering element to absorb the vibration and impact energy. In turn, the friction damping component arranged in the foot for the household appliance effectively attenuates the vibration amplitude of the adjusting foot in the sheath, thereby reducing the expansion amount of the elastic buffer element and reducing the energy of absorbing vibration and impact. Therefore, the friction damping component and the elastic buffer element are matched with the hydraulic medium in the bottom foot of the household appliance, so that the leveling effect is better, the effects of absorbing and adjusting vibration in the dewatering process of the washing machine are better, and dewatering vibration and dewatering noise are reduced.
