Specific Embodiments

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] As Figures 1 - 6 shown, the present invention provides an operation panel assembly, including a body 1 and a computer board, and further including a computer board bracket 2 for installing the computer board, and the computer board bracket 2 is detachably arranged on the body 1.

[0050] In the above solution, the present invention is not only applicable to washing machines, but also applicable to other electrical structures using computer boards, with a wide coverage. In this embodiment, the computer board is detachably arranged on the body 1 through the computer board bracket 2, preventing the relatively high requirements for the computer board itself when directly installing the computer board or increasing the processing difficulty of the computer board.

[0051] Furthermore, the computer board bracket 2 is detachably clamped on the body 1,

[0052] Preferably, a plurality of first buckles 101 are provided on the body 1, and a mating portion 206 for mating with the first buckles 101 to clamp the computer board bracket 2 is provided on the computer board bracket 2.

[0053] More preferably, the first buckle 101 includes a first elastic piece protruding towards the computer board bracket 2. When the computer board bracket 2 is installed, the first elastic piece is compressed, and after being installed in place, the first elastic piece resumes to cooperate with the mating portion 206 to clamp the computer board bracket 2.

[0054] In the above solution, the computer board bracket 2 is detachably clamped on the body 1. The clamping method is convenient for both installation and disassembly, and no other tools are required for installation and disassembly, and ordinary users can easily operate. In the prior art, the computer board or the computer board bracket 2 is detachably provided on the body 1 by screws, and disassembly and maintenance are inconvenient, and tools of appropriate sizes are required for operation, and ordinary users cannot perform it casually. In the preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, a plurality of first buckles 101 are provided on the body 1, a mating portion 206 is provided on the computer board bracket 2, and the mating portion 206 cooperates with the first buckles 101 to detachably clamp the computer board bracket 2. In a more preferred embodiment, the first buckle 101 protrudes from the body 1 and includes a first elastic piece protruding from the first buckle 101 towards the computer board bracket 2. When the computer board bracket 2 is installed, the first elastic piece is compressed, and after the computer board bracket 2 is installed in place, the first elastic piece resumes to cooperate with the mating portion 206 to clamp the computer board bracket 2.

[0055] Further, the operation panel assembly further includes a display screen 3, and the display screen 3 is detachably provided on the body 1.

[0056] Preferably, the display screen 3 is detachably clamped on the body 1.

[0057] More preferably, the display screen 3 is clamped on the body 1 in cooperation with the first buckles 101.

[0058] In the above solution, the display screen 3 is detachably provided on the body 1, which is convenient for disassembly and repair. In the prior art, the display screen 3 is generally adhered to the body 1, and it is very difficult to reinstall it after disassembly, with strong professionalism and ordinary users cannot do it. Adhering the display screen 3 to the body 1 has relatively high requirements for the adhesion process, increases the cost of the adhesive, and has relatively high requirements for the operation process and is difficult, greatly increasing the installation cost of the display screen 3. In this embodiment, the display screen 3 is clamped on the body 1, making the installation, disassembly and repair of the display screen 3 simpler and more convenient, and greatly reducing the cost. A part of the first buckles 101 on the body 1 is used to clamp the computer board bracket 2, and a part is used to clamp the display screen 3.

[0059] Further, the computer board includes a display board 4, and the computer board bracket 2 includes a display board 4 frame 201 provided with the display board 4. The display board 4 frame 201 is detachably clamped at the rear of the display screen 3.

[0060] Preferably, the display board 4 is detachably clamped within the display board 4 frame 201. The display board 4 frame 201 includes a second buckle 203 for clamping the display board 4.

[0061] In the above solution, display control electrical components for controlling the display screen 3 are provided on the display board 4. The display board 4 is electrically connected to the display screen 3. The display board 4 is arranged behind the display screen 3, which makes it easier to control the display screen 3 and is also more conducive to the electrical connection between the display board 4 and the display screen 3. In a preferred embodiment, the display board 4 is detachably clamped within the display board 4 frame 201, which is convenient for disassembly and repair and reduces costs. The display board 4 frame 201 includes a second buckle 203 for clamping the display board 4. The second buckle 203 is arranged on the border of the display board 4 frame 201 and includes a second elastic piece protruding towards the center of the display board 4 frame 201. When the display board 4 is installed, the second elastic piece is compressed, and after the display board 4 is installed in place, the second elastic piece resumes to cooperate with the edge of the display board 4 to clamp the display board 4.

[0062] Further, an abutting portion 205 for abutting against the display screen 3 is provided within the display board 4 frame 201.

[0063] Preferably, the abutting portion 205 has elasticity and protrudes towards the display screen 3.

[0064] More preferably, the abutting portion 205 includes an elastic cross beam arranged in the middle of the display board 4 frame 201.

[0065] In the above solution, the abutting portion 205 is used to abut against and stabilize the display screen 3, making the installation of the display screen 3 more stable without accidents such as skewing or loosening. Compared with the method of bonding the display screen 3 in the prior art, it is simpler, more cost-saving, and the installation is more stable. The abutting portion 205 has elasticity and protrudes towards the display screen 3. After the computer board bracket 2 is installed in place, the abutting portion 205 is squeezed by the display screen 3, and the protruding part shrinks. The abutting portion 205 abuts against and stabilizes the display screen 3 under the action of its own elastic force. In a more preferred embodiment, the abutting portion 205 includes an elastic cross beam arranged in the middle of the display board 4 frame 201. Being arranged in the middle makes the abutting effect of the abutting portion 205 uniform and concentrated at the central position, and it will not shift due to uneven force or cause some first buckles 101 to be damaged due to uneven force.

[0066] Further, the cross beam includes a contact portion that contacts and abuts against the display screen 3, and also includes an elastic portion that provides elasticity for the cross beam.

[0067] Preferably, the elastic part is arranged at both ends of the contact part, and the contact part protrudes through the elastic part in the middle of the display panel 4 frame 201.

[0068] In the above solution, the contact part is arranged at the center position of the display screen 3, so that the abutting effect is uniform and the best. The cross beam can be detachably arranged on the computer board bracket 2 or integrally formed on the computer board bracket 2.

[0069] Further, the cross beam is integrally formed on the computer board bracket 2, and the elastic part includes an elastic strip connecting the contact part and the display panel 4 frame 201.

[0070] Preferably, at least two elastic strips are included at both ends of the contact part, and the elastic strips are smoothly transitioned from the display panel 4 frame 201 to the contact part protruding from the display panel 4 frame 201.

[0071] More preferably, two elastic strips are included at both ends of the contact part, and the two elastic strips arranged at any one end are arc-shaped relative to each other.

[0072] Still preferably, the two elastic strips arranged at one end are symmetrically arc-shaped relative to each other.

[0073] In the above solution, the cross beam is integrally formed on the computer board bracket 2, with a simple structure, convenient molding, and cost reduction. The elastic part brings elasticity by its own shape. An elastic strip with a small size is more likely to bring elasticity than a structure with a large size. In a preferred embodiment, at least two elastic strips are included at both ends of the contact part, and the two elastic strips smoothly extend towards the contact part, enhancing elasticity without scratching the display screen 3. The distance that the contact part protrudes from the display panel 4 frame 201 under the action of the elastic strip (i.e., the distance d that the abutting part 205 protrudes from the display panel 4 frame 201) is 3.1 mm. This distance enables the elastic strip to provide sufficient elasticity and will not break due to excessive elastic force. In a more preferred embodiment, the two elastic strips are arc-shaped relative to each other, forming a shape similar to an ellipse, increasing the possibility of deformation of the elastic strip and increasing elasticity. The two elastic strips are symmetrically arranged, and the contact part is evenly stressed, and the force against the display screen 3 is uniform.

[0074] Further, the computer board further includes a control board 5, the computer board bracket 2 further includes a control board 5 frame 202 provided with the control board 5, the control board 5 frame 202 is arranged on one side of the display panel 4 frame 201, the display panel 4 and the control board 5 are electrically connected by a flexible cable, and a guiding and fixing part 207 for guiding and fixing the flexible cable is further provided between the display panel 4 frame 201 and the control board 5 frame 202.

[0075] Preferably, there is a common side between the frame 201 of the display board 4 and the frame 202 of the control board 5, and the guiding and fixing part 207 is arranged on this side. More preferably, the guiding and fixing part 207 protrudes from this side.

[0076] In the above solution, the guiding and fixing part 207 facilitates the arrangement of the cable. It not only guides the cable, preventing waste of space or mess caused by cable connection, but also fixes the cable, preventing damage to the cable by structures such as the frame or other sharp edges, or problems such as easy damage to the cable due to scratching caused by the unfixed cable. In a preferred embodiment, the guiding and fixing part 207 protrudes from the common side of the frame 201 of the display board 4 and the frame 202 of the control board 5, with simple installation and easy cable routing.

[0077] Furthermore, the control board 5 is detachably clamped in the frame 202 of the control board 5, and the frame 202 of the control board 5 includes a third buckle 204 for clamping the control board 5.

[0078] In the above solution, the frame 202 of the control board 5 includes a third buckle 204 for clamping the control board 5. The third buckle 204 is arranged on the border of the frame 202 of the control board 5 and includes a third elastic sheet protruding towards the center of the frame 202 of the control board 5. When the control board 5 is installed, the third elastic sheet is compressed, and after the control board 5 is installed in place, the third elastic sheet resumes to cooperate with the edge of the control board 5 to clamp the control board 5.

[0079] Furthermore, the cable is detachably passed through the guiding and fixing part 207 and electrically connects the display board 4 and the control board 5.

[0080] Preferably, the guiding and fixing part 207 includes a hole for the cable to pass through, and there is an opening on one side of the hole for detaching the cable.

[0081] More preferably, the guiding and fixing part 207 includes a guiding and fixing hook. One end of the guiding and fixing hook is arranged on the common side, and the other end extends outward from this side to form a hole for the cable to pass through, and there is an opening for detaching the cable between it and the side.

[0082] Also preferably, the shape of the hole matches the shape of the cable, the edge of the hole has a smooth transition, and the other end of the guiding and fixing hook is a smooth end.

[0083] In the above solution, the flexible cable can be detachably passed through the guiding and fixing part 207, which makes the installation simpler. Even after the connection terminals are set at both ends of the flexible cable, it can still be detachably passed through the guiding and fixing part 207. Specifically, the opening provided on one side of the hole enables the flexible cable to be detachably passed through. One end is arranged on the common side, and the other end extends to form a guiding and fixing hook for the hole and the opening, which is an implementation manner of the guiding and fixing part 207. The shape of the hole matches the shape of the flexible cable, avoiding damage to the flexible cable caused by bending the flexible cable due to shape mismatch. The setting of the guiding and fixing hook also prevents this kind of damage to the flexible cable. The edge of the hole has a smooth transition to prevent the sharp edge from damaging the flexible cable. The other end of the guiding and fixing hook is a smooth end, which also prevents damage to the flexible cable during the installation process.
