The operation unit 30 is mounted on the front surface of the right side of the front control module main body substrate 42, which will be described in detail later. The display portion 41 is formed on a left side of the front control module main body substrate 42 other than the portion for attaching the operation portion 30. The display unit 41 is mounted on the front control module main body substrate 42 in a known structure.

In addition, the detergent box 45 is located on the left side of the display section 41. The detergent box 45 can take a well-known structure, and thus, only a front surface thereof is shown in fig. 2.

As shown in fig. 4, three

guide structures

431, 432, 433 and two

limit structures

441, 442 are formed at the lower end surface of the front control assembly body 40. The guiding structure 431, the limiting structure 441, the limiting structure 442, the guiding structure 432 and the guiding structure 433 are sequentially arranged from left to right.

guide structures

432, 433.

As shown in fig. 3 and 5, the

guide structures

431, 432, 433 are each composed of a cylindrical base end portion and a truncated cone-shaped tip end portion.

As shown in fig. 4, the

stopper structures

441, 442 have a width in the front-rear direction that is substantially equal to the width of the right end of the guide positioning hole 141 formed in the second flange portion 14. As shown in fig. 5, the

stopper structures

441 and 442 have a shape protruding rightward after extending downward from the lower end surface of the front control module body 40.

As shown in fig. 2 and 6, an elongated first fixing plate 50 is attached to the first flange portion 13. In a state where the first fixing plate 50 is mounted to the door body 10, the first fixing plate 50 extends from one end to the other end of the door body 10 in the left-right direction. The first fixing plate 50 is formed with a plurality of screw holes 51, and the first fixing plate 50 is fixed to the upper end surfaces of the first flange portion 13, the operation portion 30, and the front control module main body 40 by a plurality of screws penetrating the plurality of screw holes 51.

As shown in fig. 2 to 5, an elongated second fixing plate 60 is mounted below the second flange portion 14. The left end of the second fixing plate 60 is fixed to the lower surface of the second flange 14 by a plurality of screws, not shown.

Two guide and positioning holes 61 are formed in the second fixing plate 60 in a left-right direction, and the two guide and positioning holes 61 have the same size and shape as the guide and positioning holes 141 provided in the second flange portion 14.

In order to prevent the second fixing plate 60 from blocking the rightmost guide positioning hole 141 when the second fixing plate 60 is fixed to the lower surface of the second flange portion 14, a square corresponding hole 62 is also formed in the second fixing plate 60, and the opening area of the corresponding hole 62 is larger than that of the guide positioning hole 141. When the second fixing plate 60 is fixed to the lower surface of the second flange portion 14, the corresponding hole 62 is located directly below the guide positioning hole 141, so that the guide positioning hole 141 is completely opened.

Two rectangular positioning holes 63 corresponding to the two positioning structures 35 provided in the operation unit 30 are formed in the second fixing plate 60 in a left-right direction.

The structure of each part is described above. Hereinafter, a step of attaching the front control module 20 to the door body 10 will be described.

First, the second fixing plate 60 is installed. In this step, the second fixing plate 60 is fixed to the lower surface of the second flange portion 14 by a plurality of screws, so that the strength of the control seat 12 is enhanced, and a mounting platform is built for the operation portion 30 and the front control module main body 40.

Then, the operation section 30 is mounted. In this step, the hooking structure 34 is inserted into the hooking hole 131 at an angle, and then the operating portion 30 is rotated downward with the hooking structure 34 as a fulcrum, and the positioning structure 35 is fitted into the positioning hole 63, whereby the operating portion 30 is fitted to the control seat 12, and the difference in level of the operating portion 30 in the front-rear direction with respect to the control seat 12 is ensured. At this time, the upper stopper rib 36 provided on the upper end surface of the operation portion 30 abuts on the lower surface of the first flange portion 13, and the lower stopper rib 37 provided on the lower end surface of the operation portion 30 abuts on the upper surface of the second fixing plate 60, so that the operation portion 30 is positioned in the height direction, and a gap in the up-down direction of the operation portion 30 is ensured.

Then, the front control assembly body 40 is mounted. In this step, the

guide structures

431, 432, 433 are inserted into the corresponding guide positioning holes 141, 61, and the

limit structures

441, 442 are simultaneously inserted into the corresponding guide positioning holes 141, so that the front control module body 40 slides to the right side in the left-right direction by a certain stroke, and the

limit structures

441, 442 abut against the right ends of the guide positioning holes 141, thereby fixing the front control module body 40. Thereafter, the operation unit substrate 33 of the operation unit 30 is electrically connected to the front control module main body substrate 42 of the front control module main body 40 by a relay connector, not shown.

Finally, the first fixing plate 50 is installed. In this step, the screw holes 51 provided in the first fixing plate 50 are penetrated by a plurality of screws, and the first fixing plate 50 is fixed to the upper end surfaces of the first flange portion 13, the operation portion 30, and the front control module body 40, respectively, so that the operation portion 30 and the front control module body 40 are fixed by the screws, and the mounting stability of the operation portion 30 and the front control module body 40 is ensured.

Through the above steps, the front control assembly 20 is mounted to the door body 10.

And during maintenance, the steps are reversely executed.

In the past, because an integrated front control assembly was used, if the front control assembly needs to be repaired, the front control assembly needs to be removed from the control seat as a whole. Further, since the operation portion is integrally mounted with the front control module main body, a gap level difference in the front-rear direction with respect to the control seat at the adjustment knob and the power key cannot be ensured.

In the present embodiment, the control seat 12 is formed to protrude from the upper side of the door body 10, so that the control seat 12 is formed as an external panel of the operation unit 30, and the operation unit and the front control unit main body are designed to be split and optimized based on the original integrated front control unit. The gap level difference of the knob and the key is greatly improved while the installation and the maintainability are ensured, the traditional front control style is broken, the design without front control is realized, the simplicity is simplified, and the visual sense, the operation sense and the appearance high-grade sense of a user are increased.

Embodiment 2

The drum washing machine 1000 of embodiment 2 is mainly different from the drum washing machine 1 of embodiment 1 in that the front control unit 1020 is formed by integrally forming the operation unit and the front control unit main body, and then the front control unit 1020 is mounted to the door 1010. As a mode of integrally forming the operation portion and the front control module body in advance, the operation portion and the display portion may be made to share one substrate as in the conventional art without providing a separate operation portion substrate, or the operation portion provided with the operation portion substrate as in embodiment 1 may be mounted in advance on the front control module body. This will not be further described. The same terms as those in embodiment 1 appearing in embodiment 2 denote the same structures, and a repetitive description thereof will be omitted here.

Hereinafter, a structure in which the front control module 1020 is attached to the door 1010 in the drum washing machine 1000 according to embodiment 2 will be mainly described with reference to fig. 7.

Fig. 7 is a sectional view of the drum washing machine of embodiment 2 of the present disclosure, taken in the vicinity of an adjustment knob in a height direction.

As shown in fig. 7, an upper jaw structure 1021 is provided on an upper end surface of the front control assembly 1020, and a lower jaw structure 1022 is provided on a lower end surface of the front control assembly 1020. The upper and

lower jaw structures

1021 and 1022 are each formed by protruding downward, and the front end surface is formed as an inclined surface facing rearward and downward. In the sectional view of fig. 7, only one upper side pawl structure 1021 and one lower side pawl structure 1022 are shown, but the upper side pawl structure 1021 and the lower side pawl structure 1022 are each formed in plurality in the left-right direction.

An upper mounting hole 10131 is provided at a position corresponding to the first flange 1013, and a lower mounting hole 1061 is provided at a position corresponding to the second fixing plate 1060. In addition, although shown in the drawings, a lower mounting hole is also provided at a position corresponding to the second flange portion.

When the front control assembly 1020 is installed, the front control assembly 1020 is fixed to the door body 1010 by moving the front control assembly 1020 from the rear side to the front side, inserting the upper jaw structures 102 into the corresponding upper mounting holes 10131, and inserting the lower jaw structures 1022 into the corresponding lower mounting holes 1061.

Since the door 1010 of embodiment 2 has the same structure as the door 10 of embodiment 1, the same effect as that of enhancing the sense of unity of the front surface of the washing machine and improving the sense of vision and the sense of high-grade can be obtained.
