Abstract
A washing machine foot with automatic leveling function comprises: a jacket; an adjusting foot, which is arranged in the jacket and moves axially relative to the jacket; and a flexible assembly, which is arranged in the adjusting foot and is used for accommodating a hydraulic medium; one end of the flexible assembly is mounted in the jacket in a limiting manner, and another end of the flexible assembly is a telescopic end acting on the adjusting foot; and the telescopic end of the flexible assembly extends and contracts under action of the hydraulic medium to drive the adjusting foot to move axially, thereby implementing automatic leveling. According to the hydraulic principle, the washing machine foot is provided with the hydraulic medium, the washing machine feet can automatically adjust adaptively for different pressures due to the fluidity of the hydraulic medium.
