Description

Fully automatic washing machine Technical field

The invention relates to the field of washing machines, in particular to a fully automatic washing machine for reducing the height of a washing machine.

Background technique

The automatic washing machine generally consists of a washing machine box, a control disc holder, an outer tub, an inner tub, a pulsator and a transmission system. The control disc seat is installed on the upper part of the washing machine box, and is generally made of high-strength plastic, such as PP, ABS, etc. A control panel is provided at the front or the rear of the existing washing machine control tray. The control panel is mainly used to fix and install control components, that is, electrical components such as computer boards, water level switches, power switches, micro switches, reed switches, safety switches, stop switches, water inlet switches, water inlet valves, etc. There are water injection ports, disinfection boxes, and drives for injecting water into the tub. The top of the control tray base is provided with an integral structure or an upper cover of a split structure.

The existing washing machine control disc holder has been used for many years, and still has some disadvantages: 1. The control disc seat protrudes in the upper part of the box to have a large height, occupying the upper space, so that the washing machine has a high height. It is inconvenient to take the clothes from the putting mouth, and the appearance is poor; 2. The connecting part of the box body is an annular groove protruding from the outer edge of the box body, and the connecting ring seat of the control disc seat is buckled in the annular groove to make control The disc base and the box body are connected to each other. The connection is formed by protruding outside the box body, and there is also a defect of poor aesthetic appearance, and the protruding structure occupies the surrounding space and is also prone to collision; 3. The rear part of the inner peripheral wall of the control disc seat is The vertical or slightly inclined baffle structure has a chamfering transition with the left and right side portions, so that the clothes insertion opening is only the front half above the inner tub, and the insertion opening is small, which is disadvantageous for the pick-and-place of the clothes.

There are three ways to fix the control panel and the washing machine cabinet: one is fixed by screws, the other is fixed by buckles, and the third is fixed by screws and snaps. For example, CN 96213557.7 discloses a housing structure of a micro-washing machine, comprising an injection-molded washing machine upper cover, a control disc holder and a housing, the housing is in an upper and a lower split form, and the upper working upper and lower housings are respectively It is a single-wall structure with integral injection molding. The outer diameter of the joint of the control disc housing and the upper housing corresponds to the inner diameter of the upper housing, and the outer edge of the control disc housing is snapped onto the inner wall of the upper housing.

The mounting structure of the control disc holder and the washing machine box in the prior art is simply fixed by screws, and the more the screws are, the better the degree of fastening between the disc holder and the washing machine box is, but the more troublesome to install and disassemble, and The parts are added, and the process of screw installation is complicated, and the labor is labor-intensive and the cost is high. The buckle holder is used to fix the disc holder and the washing machine box. Although the structure is simple and the installation process is simplified, the degree of fastening between the disc holder and the washing machine box is poor. When the pulsator or the inner barrel rotates, the disc holder is controlled. There is looseness between the cabinet and the washing machine.

However, whether it is a screw connection or a snap connection, there may be some slight gaps between the control disc holder and the washing machine box during the long-term use, and some looseness may occur between the control disc holder and the washing machine housing. Especially when the washing machine is in working state, the rotation of the inner tub or the pulsator is likely to cause the control disc seat and the washing machine cabinet to loose in the horizontal direction.

The present invention has been made in view of the above.
