Definitions

  • the present invention is a national stage application of International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2018/120942, which is filed on December 13, 2018 and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201810533099.X, filed on May 29, 2018 and entitled "Door Structure for Washing Machine and Washing machine with Door Structure”.
  • the present invention relates to a technical field of washing machine equipment, and more particularly to a door structure for a washing machine and a washing machine with the door structure.
  • the calculation of a unit power consumption washing ratio should be carried out according to a standard work cycle specified in the instruction manual for rated capacity and half-load capacity test, each capacity is tested three times, and an average of a cleaning ratio at rated capacity and half-load capacity is taken. Therefore, the main limitation of the cleaning ratio per unit power consumption is a cleaning ratio at half-load capacity and full-load capacity.
  • the principle of a drum washing machine is that an inner drum rotates to drive the laundry in the drum from a bottom of the drum to a top of the drum, and then the laundry falls from the top of the drum to the bottom of the drum due to gravity.
  • This process simulates the process of beating the laundry during the washing to achieve the effect of washing and cleaning the laundry.
  • the drum is covered with fabrics, which abut against a glass bowl, and the beating effect does not be achieved. Therefore, the washing ratio at the full-load capacity of the washing machine in the art known to inventors is low, the unit power consumption cleaning ratio of the tested washing machine is limited, and a problem of poor use experience of the washing machine in the art known to inventors is caused.
  • a washing machine is disclosed in Document D1( CN103946439B ); A washing machine is disclosed in Document D2( DE10228602A1 ); A washing machine is disclosed in Document D3( JPS6358984U ); A washing machine is disclosed in Document D4 ( CN204919101U ).
  • Some embodiments of the present invention provide a door structure for a washing machine and a washing machine with the door structure, intended to solve the problem of poor use experience of a washing machine in the art known to inventors.
  • Some embodiments of the present invention provide a door structure for a washing machine, which includes: a door body; and a plurality of convex ribs, connected with the door body, the plurality of convex ribs being disposed at intervals, and each of the plurality of convex ribs being configured to clean objects to be cleaned.
  • the plurality of convex ribs are disposed at intervals in a vertical direction.
  • central axes of the plurality of convex ribs are disposed parallel to each other.
  • the angle between the central axis of the each of the plurality of convex ribs and the horizontal plane is ⁇ , wherein 25° ⁇ 35°.
  • the each of the plurality of convex ribs includes a crest portion that protrudes vertically upward and a trough portion that recesses downward toward a vertical direction, crest portions on two adjacent convex ribs of the plurality of convex ribs are in a same protrusion direction, and/or, trough portions on two adjacent convex ribs of the plurality of convex ribs are in a same recess direction.
  • the each of the plurality of convex ribs includes a crest portion that protrudes vertically upward and a trough portion that recesses downward toward a vertical direction, crest portions on two adjacent convex ribs of the plurality of convex ribs are in opposite protrusion directions, and/or, trough portions on two adjacent convex ribs of the plurality of convex ribs are in opposite recess directions.
  • the plurality of convex ribs have a same thickness, or a thickness of at least one of the plurality of convex ribs is different from a thickness of a remaining convex ribs in the plurality of convex ribs.
  • the door body is made of glass.
  • the each of the plurality of convex ribs includes at least one crest portion protruding upward in a vertical direction, and/or the each of the plurality of convex ribs includes at least one trough portion recessed downward in a vertical direction.
  • the each of the plurality of convex ribs is formed integrally with door body, and the each of the plurality of convex ribs is formed by part of the door body recessed outwardly.
  • Some embodiments of the present invention provide a washing machine, which includes the above door structure for the washing machine.
  • a plurality of convex rib structures are disposed on a door body of the washing machine door structure, and the convex ribs are disposed at intervals without intersecting.
  • This arrangement enables the washing machine with the door structure to be in friction with objects to be washed inside the washing machine during operation, so as to achieve the function of further washing the objects to be washed through the convex rib structure.
  • the convex rib structure effectively avoids the situation that the objects to be cleaned are accumulated on the door body and the objects to be cleaned do not be cleaned.
  • the door structure for the washing machine adopting this structure effectively improves the washing efficiency of the washing machine with the door structure and the use experience of users.
  • spatial relative terms such as “over”, “above”, “on an upper surface” and “upper” may be used herein for describing a spatial position relation between a device or feature and other devices or features shown in the drawings. It will be appreciated that the spatial relative terms aim to contain different orientations in usage or operation besides the orientations of the devices described in the drawings. For example, if the devices in the drawings are inverted, devices described as “above other devices or structures” or “over other devices or structures” will be located as “below other devices or structures” or “under other devices or structures”. Thus, an exemplar term “above” may include two orientations namely “above” and “below”. The device may be located in other different modes (rotated by 90 degrees or located in other orientations), and spatial relative descriptions used herein are correspondingly explained.
  • a door structure for a washing machine is provided.
  • the door structure for the washing machine includes a door body 10 and a plurality of convex ribs 20.
  • the plurality of convex ribs 20 are connected with the door body 10.
  • the plurality of convex ribs 20 are disposed at intervals.
  • the convex ribs 20 are configured to clean objects to be cleaned.
  • multiple convex rib structures are disposed on a door body of the door structure for the washing machine, and the plurality of convex ribs are disposed at intervals without intersecting.
  • This arrangement enables the washing machine with the door structure for the washing machine to be in friction with objects to be washed inside the washing machine during operation, so as to achieve a function of further washing the objects to be washed through the convex rib structure.
  • the convex rib structure effectively avoids a situation that the objects to be cleaned are accumulated on the door body and the objects to be cleaned do not be cleaned.
  • the door structure for the washing machine adopting this structure effectively improves the washing efficiency of the washing machine with the door structure and the use experience of users.
  • the plurality of convex ribs 20 are disposed at intervals in a vertical direction. This arrangement effectively increases a contact area between the convex ribs and the objects to be cleaned, and also causes foam generated during the cleaning process to flow back into a washing tub along the plurality of convex ribs.
  • the plurality of convex ribs are disposed at intervals, thereby avoiding a problem that the foam does not flow back along the convex ribs, and the foam is always immersed in the objects to be cleaned, and avoiding a problem that the washing machine in the art known to inventors does not completely remove the foam during the final cleaning and defoaming process due to the staggered manner of convex ribs in the art known to inventors.
  • the each of the plurality of convex ribs 20 includes a crest portion 21 that protrudes vertically upward and a trough portion 22 that recesses downward toward the vertical direction, crest portions 21 on two adjacent convex ribs 20 of the plurality of convex ribs 20 are in a same protrusion direction, and trough portions 22 on the two adjacent convex ribs 20 of the plurality of convex ribs 20 are in a same recess direction.
  • the protrusion directions of the crest portions 21 on the two adjacent convex ribs 20 are set to opposite directions, and the recess directions of the trough portions 22 on the two adjacent convex ribs 20 are set to opposite directions.
  • the plurality of convex ribs 20 have a same thickness, and a thickness of at least one of the plurality of convex ribs 20 is different from a thickness of a remaining convex ribs 20 in the plurality of convex ribs.
  • the door body 10 is made of glass.
  • the convex rib 20 has at least one crest portion 21 protruding vertically upward, or the convex rib 20 has at least one trough portion 22 recessed downward in the vertical direction. That is, the bent shape of the convex rib is set according to an area of an arrangement area of the door body. As shown in Fig. 1, the convex rib 20 has only one trough portion 22.
  • the convex rib 20 is formed integrally with the door body 10, and the convex rib 20 is formed by part of the door body 10 recessed outwardly. This arrangement reduces the material used to form the door structure for the washing machine, which in turn reduces the production cost. Of course, it is also possible to directly set the convex rib 20 into a solid structure on the door body.
