Patent number: 11390978Abstract: A decelerating clutch of a washing machine includes a bearing seat, an input shaft, an output shaft, and an output shaft sleeve. The input shaft and the output shaft are arranged coaxially. The output shaft sleeve is sleeved on the input shaft and the output shaft. The output shaft sleeve rotates relative to the input shaft. The output shaft sleeve is connected with the input shaft via a planetary gear train. The output shaft sleeve is installed on the bearing seat via a bearing. The bearing seat and the output shaft sleeve are respectively provided with locating structures coordination with the bearings, and the locating structures axially limit movement of the output shaft sleeve relative to the bearing seat. As to the decelerating clutch of a washing machine, two-way limit to a bearing is realized, thereby effectively avoiding axial movement of the output shaft sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: QINGDAO HAIER DRUM WASHING MACHINE CO., LTD.Inventors: Zongrui Chi, Houli Luan, Long Yang

Patent number: 10822738Abstract: A washing machine door having a decorative ring comprises a time display module (4), a light strip (9), a control device, and a middle frame (5). The time display module (4), the light strip (9) consisting of LED beads, and the control device are installed on the middle frame (5). A mounting area is formed on the middle frame (5) to install therein the time display module (4). Also provided is a decorative ring (3) having a shape matching the middle frame (5). The decorative ring (3) comprises a film layer and a base (3-1). The base (3-1) comprises a time display area (3-1-1) corresponding to the time display module (4), and a remaining area serving as a light display area (3-1-2). The time display area (3-1-1) has transmittance exceeding that of the light display area (3-1-2) of the decorative ring (3). Also provided is a washing machine using the door and a laundry method.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: QINGDAO HAIER DRUM WASHING MACHINE CO., LTD.Inventors: Zongrui Chi, Zhi Chen, Yongchao Chen, Houli Luan, Chao Xu, Huifang Du

Publication number: 20180051407Abstract: A vibration absorbing mechanism for a washing machine and a washing machine having the same are provided. The vibration absorbing mechanism includes a plurality of first vibration absorbers for supporting an outer drum of the washing machine. A second vibration absorber is connected between at least two of the first vibration absorbers. Based on the existing first vibration absorbers, the second vibration absorber connected with two first vibration absorbers is additionally provided on the vibration absorbing mechanism. Through the second vibration absorber, an amplitude of the outer drum of the washing machine is inhibited to effectively limit vibration in up-down direction and left-right direction of entire washing machine. Therefore, the volume of a counterweight is effectively reduced, so that the structure of the washing machine is more compact while achieving better vibration absorbing and noise reduction effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2016Publication date: February 22, 2018Applicant: Qingdao Haier Drum Washing Machine Co., Ltd.Inventors: Zongrui Chi, Houli Luan, Lei Xiao, Zhi Chen, Shan Wang
