Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The embodiment of the application provides a washing machine shell and a pulsator washing machine, so that the height of a control panel seat which is convex outwards compared with a box body is reduced.

A washing machine casing can be applied to a washing machine. In the embodiment of the present application, the case of applying the washing machine housing to the pulsator washing machine is taken as an example, and the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is further explained and explained.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a washing machine housing according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is an assembly view of a box body and a connecting member of the washing machine housing shown in fig. 1, and fig. 3 is an enlarged view of an X-point of the assembly view of the box body and the connecting member of the washing machine housing shown in fig. 2.

The washing machine case may include a cabinet 100, a connector 200, and a control panel base 300.

As shown in fig. 2, the case 100 has a mounting cavity 11 and a first opening 12 connected thereto. The installation cavity 11 is used for installing a roller, a wave wheel, a dewatering device, a driving device and the like. Wherein the opening of the drum is oriented in the same direction as the first opening 12, so that the user can put the laundry into the drum through the first opening 12 and the opening of the drum to perform the washing operation. As shown in fig. 3, the box 100 includes a plurality of first sidewalls 14 enclosing to form a first opening, and the first sidewalls 14 are provided with mounting portions 13 located in the mounting cavity 11. The connecting member 200 is detachably connected to the mounting portion 13 and is located in the mounting cavity 11. The control panel base 300 is used to mount functional components, which may be a control panel for controlling the operation of the pulsator washing machine, a door cover for opening or closing the first opening 12, and the like. The control panel base 300 is at least partially arranged in the installation cavity 11 through the first opening 12, and the control panel base 300 is detachably connected with the connecting piece 200, so that the control panel base 300 is fixedly connected with the box body 100.

On one hand, since the control panel base 300 is at least partially disposed in the installation cavity 11, compared with the case body 100 in which the control panel base 300 is entirely disposed outside the installation cavity 11, the height of the control panel base 300 protruding outward can be greatly reduced.

On the other hand, the connector 200 is disposed in the installation cavity 11, so that the connection structure of the control panel base 300 and the connector 200 can be similarly built in the installation cavity 11. In contrast, if the connecting element 200 is disposed outside the mounting cavity 11, or partially outside the mounting cavity 11, the control panel base 300 needs to protrude to a height enough to be higher than the casing 100, so as to form a reserved space for engaging with the connecting element 200. Therefore, the laundry machine housing provided in the embodiment of the present application can further reduce the height of the control panel base 300 protruding outward compared to the cabinet 100 by sinking the connection member 200 into the mounting cavity 11.

It will also be appreciated that the control panel 300 and the connector 200 are removably connected for ease of removal and later maintenance of the control panel 300. For example, the control panel seat 300 may form a detachable connection with the connection element 200 by at least one of snapping, sleeving, screwing and adsorbing, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application will be further explained and explained by taking the example that the control panel holder 300 is clamped with the connector 200.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic structural view of a control panel seat of the casing of the washing machine shown in fig. 1. The control panel 300 may include a laundry input port 31. The laundry input port 31 is communicated with the installation cavity 11, and further laundry can be input into the drum in the installation cavity 11 through the laundry input port 31. In actual use, the control panel base 300 is further rotatably mounted with a door for opening or closing the laundry input opening 31. The end edges of the control panel 300 may overlap the upper end edges of the cabinet 100 so that the cabinet 100 provides support for the control panel 300.

As shown in fig. 4, the control panel base 300 may be provided with a first barb 32 located within the mounting cavity 11. When the console box 300 is stacked on the upper edge of the box 100, the first barb 32 can be received in the mounting cavity 11 and clamped with the connector 200.

It is understood that the first barb 32 may be formed integrally with the control panel base 300 by injection molding, die casting, or the like, and the first barb 32 may also be fixed to the control panel base 300 by bonding, welding, or welding, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of a connecting member of the casing of the washing machine shown in fig. 2. The connector 200 may include a main body portion 21 and a second barb 22 provided to the main body portion 21. The main body 21 is detachably coupled to the mounting portion 13 of the case 100 to enable the connector 200 to be mounted to the case 100. The second barb 22 is clamped with the first barb 32 of the control panel seat 300, so as to realize the clamping fixation of the control panel seat 300 on the box body 100.

In practical use, the number of the connecting members 200 may be one, two, three or four, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Next, the specific structure and the number of the connecting members 200 will be further explained and explained in conjunction with the structure of the mounting portion 13.

As shown in fig. 3, the side wall of the box 100 forming the first opening 12 includes a plurality of first side walls 14, and one or more first side walls 14 are provided with mounting portions 13.

For example, the mounting cavity 11 surrounded by the casing 100 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The first opening 12 is square. Thus, the case 100 includes four first sidewalls 14 forming the first opening 12. Wherein, all be equipped with installation department 13 on the three first lateral wall 14, each installation department 13 all can dismantle with control panel seat 300 through a connecting piece 200 and be connected.

It will be appreciated that the tank 100 generally serves as the primary support and therefore the strength requirements of the tank 100 are high. In the embodiment of the present application, the mounting portions 13 provided on the three first side walls 14 can also be regarded as reinforcing ribs formed on the first side walls 14, so that the strength of the box body 100 is enhanced. On the other hand, the mounting portions 13 disposed on the three first side walls 14 may further enable the control panel base 300 and the box body 100 to form a multi-connection structure, so that the connection between the control panel base 300 and the box body 100 is more stable and the stress is more uniform.

To further improve the strength of the case 100, the mounting portion 13 and the case 100 may be integrally formed. Taking the case 100 as an example of a metal material, the mounting portion 13 may be integrally formed at the upper end edge of the first side wall 14 of the case 100 by a sheet metal process such as bending, flanging, or drawing. Of course, the case 100 may be made of plastic, and the mounting portion 13 may be integrally formed at the upper end edge of the first side wall 14 of the case 100 by injection molding, but the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the manner in which the mounting portion 13 and the case 100 are integrally formed.

As shown in fig. 4, the first sidewall 14 and the connected mounting portion 13 may enclose a receiving groove 15. The opening of the accommodating groove 15 faces in the opposite direction to the first opening 12. For example, in practical applications, the first opening 12 of the box 100 is disposed upward, and the opening of the container is disposed downward. Therefore, the connecting member 200 can be placed into the receiving groove 15 from bottom to top, so that the connecting member 200 is at least partially disposed in the receiving groove 15. At this time, the mounting portion 13 is further provided with a first through hole 131 communicating with the accommodating groove 15. Furthermore, the first barb 32 of the control panel base 300 can penetrate through the first through hole 131 from top to bottom and then is partially disposed in the accommodating groove 15, and the portion of the first barb 32 extending into the accommodating groove 15 is connected with the second barb 22 of the connecting member 200.

It will be appreciated that during removal of the control panel 300, the control panel 300 is pulled outwardly of the mounting cavity 11 to disengage the first barb 32 and the second barb 22. If the connecting piece 200 is disposed on one side of the mounting portion 13 facing the mounting cavity 11, in the detaching process, the force of the pulling control panel base 300 is easily transmitted to the connecting piece 200, and further the connecting structure between the connecting piece 200 and the box 100 is easily damaged. In contrast, in the embodiment of the present application, the connecting element 200 is disposed on one side of the mounting portion 13 away from the mounting cavity 11, so that in the process of detaching the control panel base 300, the pulling force transmitted to the connecting element 200 is more uniformly dispersed on the contact surface between the connecting element 200 and the mounting portion 13, and the connection between the connecting element 200 and the mounting portion 13 is more stable and less prone to damage.

Referring to fig. 6 to 8, fig. 6 is a plan view of a casing of the washing machine shown in fig. 1, fig. 7 is a sectional view of the casing of the washing machine shown in fig. 6 taken along a-a direction, and fig. 8 is a partial enlarged view of the casing of the washing machine shown in fig. 7 taken at Y. Next, the specific structure of the mounting portion 13 will be further explained and explained by taking the case 100 as an example, which is placed on a horizontal support surface such as the floor, with the first opening 12 facing upward.

As shown in fig. 3 or 8, the mounting portion 13 may include a first horizontal portion 132, a first vertical portion 133, a second horizontal portion 134, and a second vertical portion 135, which are connected in sequence.

As shown in fig. 3 or 8, the first horizontal portion 132 is connected to the cabinet 100. For example, the first horizontal portion 132 is formed by extending the upper end edge of the first side wall 14 toward the center of the mounting cavity 11 in a substantially horizontal direction. The upper end edge of the first vertical portion 133 is connected to the inner end edge of the first horizontal portion 132. For example, the first vertical portion 133 is formed extending downward from an inner end edge of the first horizontal portion 132 in a substantially vertical direction. The outer end edge of the second horizontal portion 134 is connected to the lower end edge of the first vertical portion 133. For example, the second horizontal portion 134 is formed by extending the lower end edge of the first vertical portion 133 toward the center of the mounting cavity 11 in a substantially horizontal direction. The upper end edge of the second vertical portion 135 is connected to the inner end edge of the second horizontal portion 134. For example, the second upright portion 135 is formed by an inner end edge of the first upright portion 133 extending downward in a substantially vertical direction. Furthermore, a receiving groove 15 with a downward opening is formed by the first side wall 14 and the mounting portion 13 connected to the first side wall 14.

As shown in fig. 8, in order to further increase the overall strength of the housing, a connector 200 may be interposed between the first sidewall 14 and the second vertical portion 135 of the mounting part 13 connected to the first sidewall 14. That is, one side of the connecting member 200 in the horizontal direction abuts against the first side wall 14, and the other side of the connecting member 200 in the horizontal direction abuts between the corresponding second vertical portions 135, and further the rigidity of the first side wall 14 and the mounting portion 13 in the horizontal direction can be further increased by the connecting member 200.

As shown in fig. 3, in order to improve the position accuracy when mounting portion 13 is assembled with connector 200, mounting portion 13 may be provided with a positioning hole 136, and main body 21 of connector 200 may be provided with a positioning post 23 engaged with positioning hole 136 to position mounting portion 13 and connector 200.

As shown in fig. 3, in order to prevent the positioning pillars 23 from protruding out of the mounting cavity 11, positioning holes 136 may be provided on the second horizontal portion 134. It can be understood that, since the height of the second horizontal portion 134 in the depth direction of the mounting cavity 11 is lower than the height of the first horizontal portion 132 in the depth direction of the mounting cavity 11, that is, since the height of the second horizontal portion 134 in the depth direction of the mounting cavity 11 is lower than the height of the first opening 12 in the depth direction of the mounting cavity 11, the positioning column 23 can still be located in the mounting cavity 11 after passing through the positioning hole 136. Therefore, the control panel base 300 does not need to protrude a sufficient height relative to the box 100 to accommodate the positioning column 23.

The detachable connection mode of the mounting portion 13 and the connection member 200 may be clamping, screwing, or magnetic fixing, and the like, and this is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 3, the body portion 21 of the connector 200 is provided with a third barb 24. The third barb 24 is disposed through the first through hole 131 and fixed to the second horizontal portion 134 in a snap-fit manner. It will be appreciated that since the height of the second horizontal portion 134 in the depth direction of the mounting cavity 11 is lower than the height of the first horizontal portion 132 in the depth direction of the mounting cavity 11, the third barb 24 can still be located in the mounting cavity 11 after passing through the positioning hole 136. Thus, the control panel base 300 need not be raised relative to the housing 100 by a sufficient height to accommodate the third barb 24.

For example, as shown in fig. 3, the second horizontal portion 134 is provided with a second through hole 137, and the body portion 21 of the connecting member 200 is provided with a screw hole 25 facing the second through hole 137.

The screw holes 25 may or may not be screw holes. A connection screw (not shown) is screwed to the side wall of the connection member 200 forming the screw hole 25 after passing through the second through hole 137. If the screw holes 25 are not threaded holes, the connection screws may be self-tapping screws.

In the foregoing embodiments, the descriptions of the respective embodiments have respective emphasis, and for parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference may be made to related descriptions of other embodiments.

The casing of the washing machine and the pulsator washing machine provided by the embodiment of the present application are described in detail above, and the principle and the embodiment of the present application are explained in the present application by applying specific examples, and the description of the above embodiments is only used to help understanding the method and the core idea of the present application; meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation manner and the application scope may be changed, and in summary, the content of the present specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
