DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] Combination Figures 1 to 4 , is a structural schematic diagram of a first embodiment of a self-locking door of a washing drum of a non-cleaning drum washing machine of the present invention, comprising a washing drum 1, the washing drum 1 is a non-porous structure, a front end of the washing drum 1 is provided with an annular front plate 2, a door cover 4 is provided on the front plate 2 through a fixed ring 3, one side of the door cover 4 is movably mounted on the fixed ring 3 through a hinge 8, an automatic locking component is provided between the door cover 4 and the fixed ring 3, the other side of the door cover 4 is provided with a handle 5 through a hinge, and is buckled on the fixed ring 3 through an automatic locking component linked to the handle 5, and the door cover 4 can rotate around the door hinge 8 at a certain angle; the door cover 4 has a movable hole 11 on the rear side of the door hinge 8, and the fixed ring 3 has a fixed hole 10, and one end of the torsion spring 9 is movably inserted into the fixed hole 10, and the other end is movably inserted into the movable hole 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the door hinge 8, the movable hole 11 and the fixed hole 10 form a triangle. According to the working principle of the torsion spring, the force F of the torsion spring 9 on the movable hole 11 of the rear hinge of the door cover 4 is Figure 1 As shown, the rear end of the door cover 4 is away from the fixing ring 3, while the front end tends to press against the fixing ring 3. There is a sealing strip 7 on the fixing ring 3 to seal the door cover 4 and the fixing ring 3. When the door cover 4 rotates around the door hinge 8 at an angle greater than 90°, as shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown, the door hinge 8, the movable hole 11 and the fixed hole 10 also form a triangle, but the force direction of the door cover 4 at the position of the movable hole 11 changes, so that the door cover 4 has a tendency to open. Under the control of the stop block, the door cover 4 has two stable states: closed and fully opened. Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown.

[0027] The front end of the door cover 4 is movably mounted with a handle 5 through a hinge 8, and a guide groove is provided on the middle vertical surface of the handle 5. A bayonet 15 is movably mounted in a bayonet hole 17 on the vertical surface of the groove in front of the door cover 4, and can move a certain distance along the bayonet hole 17. The end of the bayonet 15 is a boss, and its diameter is larger than the diameter of the bayonet hole on the handle 5. Therefore, when the handle 5 rotates around the hinge 8, the side of the guide groove prompts the bayonet 15 to move axially. The force that prompts the handle 5 to rotate is the force of the external manual operation. When this force disappears, the bayonet 15 is restored to its original position by the force of the return compression spring 16 installed thereon. The front end of the bayonet 15 is chamfered. When the door cover 4 is closed, the force of the torsion spring 9 on the rear side causes the front end to have a downward force, and the mutual attraction between the magnet 12 fixed on the fixing ring 3 and the magnet 2 12 fixed on the door cover 4 causes the bayonet 15 to generate an axial component along the inclined surface of the hook head 13 on the fixing ring 3, overcome the force of the return compression spring 16, move the bayonet 15, slide under the barb 13, and lock the door cover 4. When the operator pulls the handle 5 outward by hand, the handle 5 rotates around the hinge 8, and the guide groove on the vertical surface of the handle 5 pushes the bayonet 15 to overcome the force of the return compression spring 16 and move axially, disengage from the barb 13, and then the force on the handle 5 causes the door cover 4 to overcome the attraction of the magnet and the torsion of the torsion spring 9 and rotate around the door hinge 8. After passing the inflection point, the attraction of the magnet disappears, and the force of the torsion spring 9 turns to the opposite direction. The inflection point is when the door hinge 8, the fixed hole 10 and the movable hole 11 are in a straight line.

[0028] Combination Figures 5 to 10 , which is a structural schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the self-locking door of the washing drum of the no-clean drum washing machine of the present invention. The claw-type door cover of the no-clean drum washing machine is composed of a washing drum 1, a front plate 2, a fixing ring 3 and a door cover 4 as in the first embodiment. The rear portion thereof is also a structure composed of a torsion spring 9 and a door hinge 8. The difference is that the handle 5 at the front is different. The handle 5 is movably mounted on the door cover 4 through the hinge 8 and can be rotated around the hinge 8 at a certain angle. A pair of holes for mounting claws 19 are also provided on the handle 5. The claws 19 are provided with small torsion springs 20 movably mounted on the holes on the handle 5.

[0029] The structure of claw 19 is as follows Fig.10As shown, it is composed of a claw shaft 191, a locking surface 192, a positioning surface 193, a guide slope 194, and a limit surface 195; a small torsion spring 20 is mounted on the claw shaft 191, one end of which is placed on the vertical wall on the door cover, and the other end is placed on the limit surface 195 to form a torque trend.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the claw door cover of the no-clean drum washing machine is in a closed state, the locking surface 192 is placed under the barb 13, the small torsion spring 20 pushes the claw 19, and the claw 19 is locked, that is, the door cover 4 is in a locked state, and the washing machine is in an operating cycle.

[0031] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the claw-type door cover of the non-cleaning drum washing machine is in the open state. The operator pulls the handle 5, the G force is outward, the handle 5 rotates around the hinge to a certain angle, forcing the claw 19 to rotate to a certain angle, and the locking surface 192 is separated from the straight surface of the barb 13. At this time, the door cover 4 can be opened; it is opened until the visual Fig. 9 The picture shown is of the claw-type door cover of the no-clean drum washing machine in the open state.

[0032] When closed, Figure 7 As shown, the torsion of the torsion spring 9 makes the door cover 4 have a force perpendicular to the surface at the front end, and external forces such as magnets, the guide inclined surface 194 is on the inclined surface of the barb 13, and after being subjected to force, it overcomes the torsion of the small torsion spring 20, and the claw rotates through an angle until the guide inclined surface 194 at the end is separated from the inclined surface of the barb 13, and under the action of the small torsion spring 20, the locking surface 192 is stuck in the straight surface of the barb 13 and locked. The positioning surface 193 limits the position of the claw 19.
