Description

Lid for top-opening type laundry and/or dryer
Technical field
The present invention relates to the household electrical appliance for laundry and/or drying.More specifically, the present invention relates to top-opening type laundry and/or dryer.
Background technology
Several years ago, the control panel 100(that top-loading washing machine generally includes the upper rear portion place of the equipment of being positioned at is generally mechanical type or electromechanical), as shown in the cutaway view of Fig. 1.Because described panel has relatively high height---this is mainly that size due to the parts of panel inside causes, and the upper forepart office that therefore panel is positioned to equipment must hinder the filling of clothing and take out operation.
Along with the development of household electrical appliance, control panel is brought into use various electronic units, and this contributes to reduce the size of control panel.Therefore, due to the ability with the compacter panel of use, many manufacturers start panel is used in the front upper part office of washer/dryer, thus due to panel near the user and not to the filling of clothing with take out operation and cause too many obstruction, so facilitated the operation of electrical equipment.
Yet, for panel is positioned at machine front machine partly, in the process that electrical equipment is loaded and takes out, because slopping over of water and/or cleaning products can make panel, suffer damage.In addition, in the process that electrical equipment is loaded and takes out, because panel is positioned at the position that is easier to suffer to disturb (by slopping over or clashing into the infringement caused) than the panel at the upper rear portion place at the top that is positioned at electrical equipment, so some household utensils may drop on panel and the infringement panel.
In addition, the front part place or the obtainable usable area of lid that electrical equipment is all caused in the posterior office that control panel are positioned to the top of electrical equipment reduce.In order to compensate this space wastage, can increase the area of section of machine, thereby increase machine top section size and increase top and the size of housing.Yet this solution has increased volume and the cost of electrical equipment.
Summary of the invention
In view of explained above, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of lid for top-opening type laundry and/or dryer, this lid comprises panel, this panel is located in the mode of the problem that aims to provide easier operation and be intended to avoid above cited.
In addition, the present invention is intended to the quantity that realization reduces the part of described machine, thereby reduces the ultimate cost of product.
In order to realize purpose proposed above, the invention provides a kind of lid for top-opening type laundry and/or dryer, this lid comprises that at least one is integrated into the control panel of this lid.
In addition, the invention provides a kind of top-opening type laundry and/or dryer that comprises described lid.

Be connected hinge between the lid that Fig. 6 shows machine and top, wherein, hinge is hollow to allow connection cable to pass.
The specific embodiment
Below describing will be based on the preferred embodiment of the present invention.Yet, it will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that and the invention is not restricted to this specific embodiment.
Fig. 2 shows top-opening type laundry and/or dryer 2, and it mainly comprises housing or casing 4, top section 6 and according to the lid 8 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.As observed, cover 8 and comprise and be integrated into the control panel 10 that covers 8.By this way, as common use the in the prior art, control panel can be removed from the top 6 of equipment, thereby be increased the usable area of the opening of the passage that the inside of leading to machine is provided, and therefore increase the usable area that covers 8.
Fig. 3 shows the lateral cross-sectional views according to lid 8 of the present invention, wherein discloses in detail the location of control panel 10 with respect to lid 8.After this, Fig. 4 shows the exploded view according to the lid 8 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.As observed, lid 8 comprises upper surface 12, and this upper surface 12 preferably is attached to underframe 14, and this upper surface 12 is preferably divisible into front part 12a and the rear portion 12b be attached to one another, in other words, front part 12a and rear portion 12b form single part.Preferably the rear portion 12b of transparent surface can or be made by vitreous material by the polymeric material such as Merlon.Control panel 10 preferably is positioned under front part 12a, and the surface of front part 12a can or be made by vitreous material by the polymeric material such as Merlon equally.In this embodiment, control panel 10 can be encapsulated between the upper surface 12 of underframe 14 and lid 8, and underframe 14 is preferably made by plastic material.
For control panel 10, control panel 10 can comprise for example touch sensitive screen (touch-screen), and this touch sensitive screen can be realized at display information on screen and by touch screen, the function of electrical equipment being controlled simultaneously.Preferably, in the present embodiment, the upper surface of the front part 12a of lid is made by for example with glassy phase, comparing the more responsive Merlon of touch.
Alternately, control panel 10 can comprise the capacitance sensor under the anterior face 12a that is positioned at lid, and the anterior face 12a of lid is made by vitreous material in this preferred embodiment.Thus, replace by touch-screen type panel execution control function, can realize such control by touch-sensitive button or icon, and information may be displayed on conventional display unit.
Alternatively, according to the surface of lid 8 of the present invention, with respect to external environment condition, be the convex shaped shape, thereby avoided dirt or fluid accumulation/the be retained in top of covering 8.
Thus, as can be observed, the invention provides the space for clothing being loaded into to machine and taking out the operation of clothing from machine enlarged markedly in Fig. 5 a and Fig. 5 b, thereby make the user can more cosily access the inside of electrical equipment.More specifically, Fig. 5 a shows the user and carries out and to be placed in the washing machine of prior art or the process of from washing machine of the prior art, clothing being taken out by clothes, wherein, in the washing machine of prior art, control panel is positioned at the front part place at the top of electrical equipment.On the other hand, Fig. 5 b shows the identical process of carrying out in laundry according to the present invention and/or dryer, and wherein, control panel is covering not on the top of machine.Can observe, the free space that the user carries out this process enlarges markedly.
In addition, because control panel 10 is positioned at, cover this fact on 8, so the present invention in the situation that opening, lid 8 has prevented control panel 10 is slopped in the process of controlling electric device water and/or the infringement of cleaning products.In addition, will cover under 8 states of raising, control panel 10 keeps top 6 isolation with machine 2, thereby has facilitated it clean and do not have a risk of damaging control panel 10.Additionally, the present invention has realized the minimizing of component part at the top 6 of equipment, and this will bring again the advantage of the built-up time of minimizing equipment.
In order as described above panel 10 to be integrated into and to cover 8, the passage of cable 16 that panel 10 is connected to the remainder of machine 2 preferably provides by covering 8 at least one hinge 18 that is connected to top 6.In this case, as shown in Figure 6, the hinge 18 that comprises at least one Cylindorical rod be hollow and comprise opening 20, thereby allow cable 16 through this hinge 18.Alternatively, communicating by letter between the parts of control panel 10 and laundry and/or dryer 2 realized by wireless connections.
In addition, the invention provides a kind of top-opening type laundry and/or dryer that is included in the lid of above describing in detail.
Permission is according to the multiple modification of the application's protection domain acquisition.For example, control panel 10 not only can be positioned at the front part that covers 8 as shown in Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4, and can be positioned at any position of covering 8.Therefore, it is emphasized that and the invention is not restricted to described particular configuration/embodiment hereinbefore.
