In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" are to be construed broadly, e.g., as meaning either a fixed connection, a removable connection, or an integral connection; can be mechanically or electrically connected; may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.
As shown in fig. 1-6, the present invention provides a vibration damping device 2, which includes a housing 3 and a plunger structure 4, wherein the housing 3 has a chamber 5 with an opening 6 at one end, the plunger structure 4 is inserted into the chamber 5 through the opening 6 and can slide along the housing 3 by friction, and a one-way limiting structure 7 for limiting the plunger structure 4 to be removed from the chamber 5 is disposed in the chamber 5 and on the plunger structure 4.
In this embodiment, the housing 3 of the vibration damping device 2 is cylindrical, and has a chamber 5 therein, and one end of the chamber 5 is open 6. The plunger structure 4 can be a cylindrical piston rod, and the plunger structure 4 and/or the inside of the shell 3 is/are provided with an annular damping structure 10, so that the plunger structure 4 generates damping to achieve a damping effect when sliding along the shell 3 in the cavity 5.
The unidirectional limiting structure arranged in the vibration damper 2 has no influence on the sliding of the plunger structure 4 to the cavity 5, and can limit the plunger structure 4 when the plunger structure 4 slides to a certain position towards the opening 6 of the cavity 5, so that the risk that the plunger structure 4 is separated from the shell 3 is avoided; meanwhile, the one-way limiting structure 7 cannot influence the linear sliding of the plunger structure 4 in the shell 3 within a certain range, and the vibration buffering effect of the vibration damping device 2 is ensured.
The housing 3 and the plunger structure 4 of the damping device 2 according to the invention can be made of materials commonly used by those skilled in the art. For example, in order to increase the strength of the vibration damping device 2, both are made of metal, for example, the plunger structure 4 is a steel cylindrical structure, and the housing 3 is a steel cylindrical structure.
In a further aspect, the one-way stopper structure 7 is disposed on the inner circumferential wall of the chamber 5 around the central axis and on the outer circumferential wall of the plunger structure 4. Thus, the one-way limiting structure 7 is disposed on the peripheral wall where the housing 3 and the plunger structure 4 relatively move and contact, and plays a role of one-way limiting for the linear movement of the plunger structure 4 in the central axis direction.
Specifically, the one-way limiting structure 7 includes a first limiting member 8 and a second limiting member 9 that can abut against each other for limiting, the first limiting member 8 is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the cavity 5, and the second limiting member 9 is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the plunger structure 4.
Preferably, the first retaining member 8 protrudes toward the center relative to the inner peripheral wall of the chamber 5, the second retaining member 9 protrudes toward the direction away from the center relative to the outer peripheral wall of the plunger structure 4, and the opposite side portions of the first retaining member 8 and the second retaining member 9 can abut against each other for retaining.
The first limiting part 8 and the second limiting part 9 are respectively arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the cavity 5 and the outer peripheral wall of the plunger structure 4, and the first limiting part 8 and the second limiting part 9 are matched with each other to limit the plunger structure 4. The first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 may be disposed in various manners, for example, the first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 may be mutually matched bumps or claws, or other protruding structures including spherical structures, and the two limiting members abut against each other to achieve limiting. The first stopper 8 and the second stopper 9 may be members having the same structure or members having different structures. The first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 are matched with each other to enable the plunger structure 4 to be inserted into the cavity 5 of the housing 3, and the plunger structure 4 is limited not to be separated from the cavity 5, and may be any existing structure or component capable of achieving the function.
In order to ensure that the plunger structure 4 has a sufficient sliding path in the chamber 5 of the housing 3, and a good damping effect is achieved, the first limiting member 8 is disposed close to the opening 6 of the chamber 5; the second stop element 9 is arranged close to the free end of the plunger structure 4 that protrudes into the chamber 5. So, plunger structure 4 can set up the reciprocal slip of the within range between the position of first locating part 8 to the closed one end of cavity 5 in cavity 5 along casing 3, plays the effect of buffering vibration, and when the tip that plunger structure 4 inserted in cavity 5 was close to cavity 5 opening 6, second locating part 9 leaned on with first locating part 8, and restriction plunger structure 4 continues outwards to slide, avoids plunger structure 4 to deviate from in the casing 3.
Preferably, the second stopper 9 is disposed on the outer peripheral edge of the end portion of the free end of the plunger structure 4, so that the plunger structure 4 has a sufficient sliding path in the chamber 5 of the housing 3, thereby ensuring the damping effect.
In order to facilitate installation of the annular damping structure 10 and arrangement of the first limiting member 8 on the circumferential wall inside the chamber 5, and ensure that the plunger structure 4 generates damping with the housing 3 at any time, the annular damping structure 10 is fixedly arranged on the inner circumferential wall of the chamber 5. The damping structure 10 may be an existing damping ring or other structure capable of providing a damping effect. The peripheral wall of the plunger structure 4 is in friction contact with the damping structure 10, and the first limiting member 8 is located on one side of the damping structure 10 away from the opening 6. That is to say, the distance from the first limiting part 8 to the opening 6 is greater than the distance from the annular damping structure 10 to the opening 6, so that the plunger structure 4 can be ensured to slide outwards to the position of the first limiting part 8, the first limiting part 8 and the second limiting part 9 are mutually abutted to realize limiting, and meanwhile, damping friction can be generated between the plunger structure 4 and the shell 3 all the time, and the vibration damping effect is ensured.
As a preferable mode, in order to ensure the sliding space of the plunger structure 4, ensure the damping effect, and prevent the plunger structure 4 from coming off, the damping structure 10 is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the chamber 5 near the opening 6, and the first limiting member 8 is located on the side of the damping structure 10 far from the opening 6. Therefore, the plunger structure 4 can slide in a reciprocating manner in the space within the first limiting part 8, and can be in frictional contact with the damping ring in the cavity 5 all the time, so that the vibration damping effect is ensured.
The first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 each include at least two, and may be three or more. The first stoppers 8 are symmetrically disposed around the central axis of the housing 3, and the second stoppers 9 are symmetrically disposed around the central axis of the plunger structure 4. Meanwhile, the positions of the first limiting part 8 and the second limiting part 9 along the central axis direction are correspondingly arranged, so that when the plunger structure 4 slides to a certain position along the shell 3, the first limiting part 8 and the second limiting part 9 are abutted to realize limiting.
In order to mount the first limiting piece 8 and the second limiting piece 9, a first mounting groove 11 is formed in the inner circumferential wall of the cavity 5 along the radial direction of the housing 3, one end of the first limiting piece 8 is mounted in the first mounting groove 11, and the other end of the first limiting piece protrudes towards the central axis direction; a second mounting groove 12 is formed in the outer peripheral wall of the plunger structure 4 along the radial direction of the plunger structure 4; one end of the second limiting part 9 is installed in the second installation groove 12, and the other end protrudes in a direction away from the center of the plunger structure 4.
The thickness of the partial peripheral wall of the chamber 5 is increased, and the first mounting groove 11 is provided at a position where the thickness of the peripheral wall is increased. In this scheme, because casing 3 is the tube-shape, the thickness of the wall of casing 3 can set up as required, does not need too thick under the general condition, also is favorable to saving the cost. However, in order to facilitate the installation of the first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9, the first installation groove 11 needs a certain wall thickness, so as to firmly install the first limiting member 8, and at the same time, the cost is saved.
Preferably, the chamber 5 has an annular enlarged part 13 with an increased thickness of the peripheral wall near the opening 6, and the first mounting groove 11 is disposed in the annular enlarged part 13 at one end of the annular enlarged part 13 near the opening 6. An annular damping structure 10 is provided at the annular enlarged portion 13 near the opening 6. Thus, the first mounting groove 11 with a certain depth is advantageously arranged, so that the first limiting member 8 can be firmly mounted.
The first mounting groove 11 is disposed along a radial direction of the housing 3, the second mounting groove 12 is disposed along a radial direction of the plunger structure 4, and the first limiting member 8 and/or the second limiting member 9 are/is extendable in the radial direction. At least one of the two stop members may be radially extendable and retractable, or both may be radially extendable and retractable, to facilitate insertion of the plunger structure 4 into the chamber 5.
When the plunger structure 4 is inserted into the cavity 5 through the opening 6, the second limiting member 9 presses the first limiting member 8, the first limiting member 8 and/or the second limiting member 9 contract so that the plunger structure 4 enters the cavity 5, then the first limiting member 8 and/or the second limiting member 9 reset, and when the plunger structure 4 slides towards the opening 6, the first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 abut against each other to limit the position of the plunger structure 4.
In order to achieve the expansion and contraction of the first limiting member 8 and/or the second limiting member 9 in the radial direction, the first limiting member 8 and/or the second limiting member 9 may include an elastic portion, or an elastic member 14 may be disposed in the first mounting groove 11 and/or the second mounting groove 12.
Preferably, an elastic member 14 is disposed between the bottom of the first mounting groove 11 and the first limiting member 8, and/or an elastic member 14 is disposed between the bottom of the second mounting groove 12 and the second limiting member 9. The first elastic member 14 and/or the second elastic member 14 may be made of an elastic material, such as an elastic glue or the like.
Specifically, the first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 are both limiting members, and the protruding length of the protruding end portion of the first limiting member 8, which is close to the opening 6, is smaller than the protruding length of the protruding end portion of the first limiting member, which is far from the opening 6, so as to form a first inclined slope 15 facing the opening 6; the protruding length of the end part of the second limiting part 9, which is close to the end part of the plunger structure 4, is smaller than the protruding length of the end part of the second limiting part, which is far away from the end part of the plunger structure 4, so that a second inclined plane 16 facing the end part of the plunger structure 4 is formed. The side of the end part of the first limiting part 8 protruding away from the opening 6 forms a first plane 17, the side of the end part of the second limiting part 9 protruding away from the end part of the plunger structure 4 forms a second plane 18, and the first plane 17 can abut against the second plane 18.
The bottom of the first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 are provided with an elastic member 14, when the plunger structure 4 is inserted into the housing 3 from the inlet, the first inclined surface 15 of the first limiting member 8 and the second inclined surface 16 of the second limiting member 9 contact to form an axial force, and the elastic member 14 is pressed to compress and deform the elastic member 14, so that the first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 contract and do not play a role in positioning. At this point, the plunger structure 4 can be smoothly installed in place. When the plunger structure 4 is separated from the housing 3, the first plane 17 of the first limiting member 8 and the second plane 18 of the second limiting member 9 form plane contact abutment, so that no axial force is generated, and the first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 play a role in positioning; the plunger structure 4 is prevented from being removed from the housing 3.
The housing 3 is provided with a first connecting portion 19 at the end opposite to the opening 6, and the plunger structure 4 is provided with a second connecting portion 20 at the end opposite to the end inserted into the chamber 5, so as to facilitate the installation and use of the vibration damping device 2.
In addition, the invention also provides a washing machine with the vibration damper 2 according to any one or combination of the above schemes, wherein the washing machine can be a pulsator washing machine or a drum washing machine.
The washing machine comprises a box body and an outer barrel 1, wherein the lower part of the outer barrel 1 is suspended and fixed with the upper part of the box body through four suspension rods 25. The damper 2 is provided at the lower part of the tub 1. In order to achieve a good damping effect, the lower portion of the outer tub 1 is provided with four damping devices 2, and the four damping devices 2 surround the outer circumference of the outer tub 1 and are symmetrically distributed with the central axis as the center. The box body comprises a base, a supporting seat 21 is fixedly arranged on the base, one end of the vibration damper 2 is connected with the lower part of the outer barrel 1, and the other end of the vibration damper is connected with the supporting seat 21.
The front end of the shell 3 of the vibration damper 2 is provided with a steel sleeve (namely a first connecting part 19), and the shell 3 is fixed on the outer barrel 1 through a screw 22 and a screw 22 hole on the steel sleeve and a bracket on the outer barrel 1; the lower part of the plunger structure 4 of the damping device 2 is also provided with a steel sleeve (namely, a second connecting part 20), and the plunger structure 4 is fastened on the supporting seat 21 through a screw 22 and a screw 22 hole on the steel sleeve; the bottom of the supporting seat 21 is provided with a screw 22 hole and a positioning pin 24, and the combination of the screw 22 hole and the positioning pin can well stabilize the supporting seat 21 on the base.
The working principle and the advantages of the vibration damper 2 of the novel washing machine outer barrel 1 provided by the invention are as follows: the damping ring is arranged in the shell 3, when the plunger structure 4 moves relative to the shell 3, damping force can be generated, and the damping force is most directly expressed in fixing and damping the outer barrel 1; because the plunger structure 4 and the steel sleeve on the shell 3 can rotate relative to the screw 22 fastened by the plunger structure 4 and the plunger structure 4 can also do linear motion relative to the shell 3, the novel vibration absorber for the outer barrel 1 of the washing machine can be ensured to have a plurality of degrees of freedom for fixing and damping the outer barrel 1 by using the assembly mode, and the vibration damping and fixing effects are particularly obvious.
To prevent the occurrence of extreme situations, the extreme situations are those in which an improper operation such as: the washing machine is laid down, the conventional four hanger rods 25 will not play any role and there is a risk that the plunger structure 4 will fall off the housing 3. In order to solve the problems, the one-way limiting structure 7 is arranged in the shock absorber of the outer barrel 1 of the novel washing machine, the structure is arranged at the bottom of the shell 3 and the upper part of the plunger structure 4, the risk that the plunger structure 4 falls off from the shell 3 is solved while the plunger structure 4 does not influence the up-down sliding of the plunger structure 4 on the shell 3, the fixing and shock absorption effects on the outer barrel 1 are still achieved under the extreme condition, and the defects of the four hanging rods 25 are filled.
The principle of the one-way limiting structure 7 is as follows: when the plunger structure 4 is inserted into the housing 3 through the inlet, the first inclined surface 15 of the first limiting member 8 and the second inclined surface 16 of the second limiting member 9 contact to form an axial force, and the elastic member 14 is pressed to compress and deform the elastic member 14, so that the first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 contract and do not play a role in positioning. At this point, the plunger structure 4 can be smoothly installed in place. When the plunger structure 4 is separated from the housing 3, the first plane 17 of the first limiting member 8 and the second plane 18 of the second limiting member 9 form plane contact abutment, so that no axial force is generated, and the first limiting member 8 and the second limiting member 9 play a role in positioning; the plunger structure 4 is prevented from being removed from the housing 3.
In order to enable the vibration damper 2 of the novel washing machine to have better vibration damping effect, the supporting seat 21 is also provided with an elastic vibration damping pad 23, and the vibration damping pad 23 has elasticity, so that the vibration generated in the working process of the outer barrel 1 can be absorbed, and better vibration damping effect is achieved; because novel washing machine outer barrel 1 damping device 2 acts on the lower part of washing machine outer barrel 1, can play the supporting role to outer barrel 1, alleviate the pulling force of four suspender 25 of tradition, and when outer barrel 1 during operation, because the fastening of damper shell is on outer barrel 1, plunger structure 4 passes through supporting seat 21 fastening on the base, plunger structure 4 can produce the damping force through the damping ring with the damper shell, this power is exactly the power that novel washing machine outer barrel 1 shock absorber acted on outer barrel 1, novel washing machine outer barrel 1 shock absorber combines together through four suspender 25 with the tradition, can be better play fixed and damping effect to outer barrel 1, reduce noise and the vibration that outer barrel 1 produced, better user experience has.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
