Full-automatic washing machine

Abstract

A full-automatic washing machine comprises a box body and a control panel seat that includes a control panel seat lower part inserted into an opening at the upper end of the box body and a control panel seat upper part exposed above the upper end of the box body, and the height ratio of the upper part to the box body is in a range of 0.02 to 0.07. Further, the control panel seat is a homocentric-square-shaped structure and comprises an outer peripheral wall and an inner peripheral wall, the outer peripheral wall is matched and connected with the upper end of the box body, the lower end of the inner peripheral wall extends into the box body to form a clothes input opening, and the height ratio of the outer peripheral wall to the inner peripheral wall is in a range of 0.25 to 0.5.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The disclosure relates to the field of washing machines, and particularly relates to a full-automatic washing machine which is reduced in height.BACKGROUND[0002]A full-automatic washing machine generally comprises a washing machine box body, a control panel seat, an outer tub, an inner tub, an impeller and a transmission system, wherein the control panel seat is arranged at the upper part of the washing machine box body and is generally made of high-strength plastics such as PP and ABS through injection molding, and a control panel is arranged in the front or at the back of the control panel seat of the existing washing machine. The control panel seat is mainly used to fix and install control components, i.e., electrical components, such as a computer board, a water level switch, a power switch, a micro-switch, a reed switch, a safety switch, a stop switch, a water inlet switch and a water inlet valve, and is also provided with a water injection nozzle for injec...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical problem addressed by the patent text is to create a washing machine that is shorter, takes up less space, connects securely between the control panel and the box body, and is easy to install.

Problems solved by technology

Although the composition form of the control panel seat of the existing washing machine has been used for many years until now, the following shortcomings still exist: 1, the height of the control panel seat protruded at the upper part of the box body is relatively high, the upper space is occupied, and thus the height of the washing machine is relatively high, fetching clothes from an input opening is inconvenient, and a poor aesthetic sense is caused; 2, the connecting part of the box body is a circle of annular groove protruded on the outer edge of the box body, a connecting ring table of the control panel seat is buckled in the annular groove to ensure that the control panel seat and the box body are connected to each other, this connection composition form also has the defect of poor aesthetic sense due to the protrusion on the outside of the box body, and the protruded structure occupies the surrounding space and is easy to cause collisions; and 3, the rear part of the inner peripheral wall of the control panel seat is a vertical or slightly-inclined baffle plate structure, and has a chamfer transition relationship with the left and right side parts, and thus a clothes input opening is only the front half of the upper part of the inner tub, and the input opening is not conducive to the fetch of the clothes due to a small size.

The installation structure of the control panel seat and the washing machine box body in the prior art purely adopts screw fixation, the more the screws are adopted, the better the fastening degree between the control panel seat and the washing machine box body is achieved, but more troubles of installation and removal are caused, parts are also increased.

And in addition, the screw installation process is complex in procedure, consumes labor hours, and is higher in cost.

Although the mode of fixing the control panel seat and the washing machine box body by purely adopting the fasteners is simple in structure and simplifies the installation procedure, the fastening degree between the control panel seat and the washing machine box body is poor, and when the impeller or the inner tub rotates, a loosening phenomenon occurs between the control panel seat and the washing machine box body.

However, whether it is the screw fixation or the fastener fixation, as some tiny gaps may exist at the junction of the control panel seat and the washing machine box body, some loosening phenomena may occur between the control panel seat and the washing machine box body during long-term use, especially when the washing machine is in a working state, the rotation of the inner tub or the impeller can easily lead to the loosening of the control panel seat and the washing machine box body in a horizontal direction.
