  • Patent number: 10920360
    Abstract: A support for washing machine with automatic leveling function comprises a sheath; a regulating mechanism arranged inside the sheath in an axial movable manner, whose circumferential rotation is limited by the sheath; and a flexible body inside the regulating mechanism for accommodating a hydraulic medium. The flexible body comprises a telescopic end which acts on the regulating mechanism, the telescopic end expands and contracts under an action of the hydraulic medium and drives the regulating mechanism to move axially for automatic leveling. Based on the hydraulic principle, the support can perform adaptive regulation automatically by means of the fluidity of the hydraulic medium of different pressures. Moreover, the structures of the regulating mechanism and the sheath are designed to avoid that the automatic leveling for washing machine is influenced by the regulating mechanism's rotation in inside the sheath. Thus, the automatic leveling effect is ensured.
