Background

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a conventional drum washing machine generally includes an inner drum 300, an outer drum 200, a housing 100, a shock absorbing system, a window gasket 500, a door 400, and the like. The outer cylinder 200 is installed in the washing machine shell 100 through the vibration support of the vibration reduction system, the inner cylinder 300 is coaxially sleeved inside the outer cylinder 200, a motor and other driving devices are installed on the outer cylinder 200, and the motor output shaft is connected with the inner cylinder 300 and used for driving the inner cylinder 300 to rotate around the shaft so as to achieve the effect of beating and washing clothes contained inside. One end of the outer cylinder 200 is sealed as an outer cylinder bottom, the other end of the outer cylinder 200 is provided with an opening to form an outer cylinder opening, and the outer cylinder opening is connected with the front plate of the shell 100 through the window pad 500, so that the distance between the outer cylinder opening and the front plate of the shell can be sealed by the window pad 500, and the outer cylinder 200 can be vibrated without interference with the shell 100 by utilizing the telescopic deformation of the window pad 500. In addition, the casing 100 is provided with a door 400 which can be opened and closed, and the door 400 is matched with the window pad 500, so that the closed door 400 can correspondingly close the cylinder opening of the outer cylinder, and a water containing cavity is formed in the outer cylinder 200.

In order to facilitate the user to observe the working condition inside the outer cylinder, an observation window made of transparent glass is generally disposed on the door 400, at least a portion of the observation window protrudes toward the inner side of the outer cylinder, so that a glass protruding portion extending into the hollow region of the window pad is formed on the door, and a gap is formed between the glass protruding portion and the window pad 500. In order to meet the requirements of the existing drum washing machine for the design, the center of the observation window is generally higher than that of the outer drum 200, so that the gap between the observation window glass and the observation window pad 500 is relatively large, and the laundry washed in the drum is easy to drop into the gap.

After the clothes fall into the gap, the clothes are clamped by the gap, and the inner cylinder 300 which is still rotating still drives other clothes to lift, so that the clothes are worn, even the clothes are damaged, and the like.

In order to realize the vibration connection with the outer cylinder opening, the window pad 500 is generally provided with wrinkles capable of generating elastic deformation, and clothes entering a gap between the observation window glass and the observation window pad are easily clamped by the wrinkles, so that the abrasion of the clothes is further increased, and even when the clamped clothes are too much, the motor can not drive the inner cylinder 300 to rotate.

In view of this, the present invention has been made.

Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, the glass protruding portion 41 provided on the door 400 may be made of other materials, for example: transparent plastics, and the like; it is also possible to provide the door itself directly with a portion protruding into the barrel, and to integrate the protruding portion with the door 400, which is also within the scope of the present invention (not shown in the drawings).

In the embodiment of the invention, the rotatable inner cylinder 300 is arranged in the outer cylinder 200, and at least part of the blocking part 5 is positioned on the inner circumference side of the inner cylinder opening 31; preferably, the radial dimension of the inner cylinder opening 31 is smaller than the circumferential dimension of the first end 3 of the window gasket body 1 and larger than the circumferential dimension of the second end 4, so that the inner cylinder opening 31 can partially shield the gap between the window gasket body 1 and the outer peripheral wall of the glass protruding portion 41 of the door 400, and further the inner cylinder opening is used for blocking the laundry from entering the gap.

In the embodiment of the invention, the inner cylinder opening 31 is contacted with or is close to the first connecting part of the window gasket body 1, so that the outer end surface of the inner cylinder opening 31 is shielded by the first connecting part, and the effect of preventing clothes from entering a gap between the inner cylinder opening and the outer cylinder opening is realized. Preferably, the reinforcing rib 51 of the blocking portion 5 is close to one side of the inner cylinder 300 relative to the inner cylinder opening 31, so that at least part of the reinforcing rib 51 is located inside the inner cylinder opening 31, and the reinforcing rib 51 can assist in shielding the gap between the inner cylinder opening 31 and the outer cylinder opening 21, thereby effectively preventing the clothes from moving downwards into the gap between the inner cylinder opening and the outer cylinder opening.

In the embodiment of the invention, the supporting rib 9 protruding from the periphery of the window gasket body 1 protrudes from the second connecting portion at least partially, and the end surface of the supporting rib 9 contacts with or is close to the inner side wall of the casing 100 at the periphery of the opening. The arrangement is that the distance between the end face of the supporting rib 9 and the inner side wall of the shell 100 at the periphery of the opening is smaller than or equal to the maximum shaking displacement of the outer cylinder, so that the supporting rib 9 can be contacted with the shell 100 before the window gasket body 1, the effect of providing axial supporting force for the window gasket is achieved, and the supporting rib 9 can provide deformation reset supporting force for the whole window gasket 500, particularly for the blocking part 5.

The foregoing description is only illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, but is to be construed as limiting the invention to any and all simple modifications, equivalent variations and adaptations of the embodiments described above, which are within the scope of the invention, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.
