Description

Upper cover opening and closing safety control structure

Technical field

The invention relates to a door cover switch for a washing machine, in particular to an upper cover opening and closing safety control structure in which an upper cover and a safety switch are arranged on the same side of the rotating shaft to save space.

Background technique

At present, the design of washing machines tends to be more automatic and user-friendly. Among them, the design of washing machine door opening and closing drives the operation or shutdown of washing machines more and more popular. This design avoids possible splashing, roller clothing, etc. Dangerous matters. However, at this stage, the design of the structure is designed to place the door cover touch switch in the space at the rear of the washing machine seat. The upper cover and the touch switch are arranged on the front and rear sides of the rotating shaft, and the design structure protruding from the rear of the upper cover Controlling the contact and non-contact of the micro-switch contact, thereby controlling the power-off of the opening and closing of the washing machine, this design causes the volume of the washing machine to be bloated and occupied, and increases the material cost of the disc holder.

For example, the Chinese patent application No. 200710140434.1 discloses a washing machine door cover switch, the washing machine opening and closing power hinge control device comprises: an upper cover fixed to the upper plate of the washing machine by a hinge, and a first convex provided on the movable piece of the hinge And a micro switch controlled by the first bump, wherein: the first bump is pivoted on the movable piece of the hinge through the rotating shaft and the one-way braking device. The design of the structure also causes the rear portion of the disk holder to expose a part of the structure relative to the upper cover, so that the portion is not covered by the upper cover, affecting the overall aesthetics of the upper portion of the washing machine, and the dustproof effect is poor.

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

Summary of the invention

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, and to provide an upper cover opening and closing safety control mechanism for setting the upper cover and the safety switch on the same side of the rotating shaft. The design effectively solves the problem of space occupation caused by the installation position of the touch switch and the problem of poor dustproof effect caused by the upper cover not covering the rear part of the disk holder while effectively implementing the opening and closing control of the upper cover.

In order to solve the above technical problem, the basic idea of adopting the technical solution of the present invention is: an upper cover opening and closing safety control structure, comprising: an upper cover hinged by a rotating shaft and a disk holder, a dialing portion disposed on the rotating shaft and being mounted on the disk A safety switch controlled by the action of the dialing portion is disposed under the seat, and the upper cover and the safety switch are disposed on the same side of the rotating shaft.

Further, the safety switch is a blade switch, including a moving spring piece and a static spring piece, the moving spring piece is disposed above the static spring piece, and the pushing part is located above the moving spring piece.

Further, the dialing portion includes a connecting member and a dialing member, wherein the connecting member is integrally connected with the rotating shaft, and is dialed One end of the moving member is connected to the connecting member, and the other end is a movable end that controls the action of the moving reed to connect/disconnect with the static reed.

Further, the connecting member is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft, and the connecting member is connected with the rotating shaft; or the sliding portion and the rotating shaft are integrated.

Further, the connecting member is disposed at one end of the rotating shaft, and the other end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the hinge portion of the upper cover and the disc holder, and the connecting portion of the connecting member and the rotating shaft is cylindrical, correspondingly inserted into the hinge portion of the disc holder, and the disc holder Free rotation between the hinges.

Further, one end of the moving spring piece extends below the rotating shaft, and the end is provided with a supporting member that is in contact with the movable end of the dialing member. The support member receives the downward pressure of the movable end, and controls the moving reed action connected with the change caused by the pressure, and is connected downwardly to the static reed piece.
