Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of clothing processing devices, and in particular, relates to a clothing processing device. Background Art
[0002] With the development of washing machine technology, the display effects of washing machines have gradually become richer and richer, and users have higher and higher requirements for the comfort of washing machine operation and the aesthetics of the display. The beauty of the washing machine's appearance and the ease of use have become an important indicator for users to choose products.
[0003] The upper cover of a conventional washing machine is usually divided into two parts, one part is responsible for opening or closing the inner drum, and the other part is used to place the computer board, which is responsible for controlling the washing machine. However, such a setting also brings many problems. Since the storage space of the kitchen, bathroom or laundry room where the washing machine is placed is not easy to be changed, therefore, if the external structure of the washing machine remains unchanged, the smaller the area of the upper cover used to open and close the inner drum, the smaller the capacity of the inner drum will be indirectly caused. The computer board is located below the operating panel of the washing machine. Since the washing machine is often used in an environment with high humidity, short circuits and burning of the computer board due to water ingress often occur. If waterproofing is not considered, water will penetrate directly into the computer board from the button holes on the decorative panel, resulting in the hidden danger of moisture damage to the computer board. At the same time, the lighting of the washing machine is mainly used to illuminate the inner drum when the upper cover is open, while ignoring the lighting experience when the upper cover is closed.
[0004] In the current related technologies, the contents displayed on the washing machine are numerous and messy, which is difficult for users to distinguish, the display effect is not good, and the design of the display interface is relatively simple. For example, a display interface is set on the control panel on the front side of the washing machine, and the display direction of the display interface is upward. The user cannot observe the operating status of the washing machine from a distance and must get close to the washing machine to observe it closely, which does not improve the user experience. At the same time, the piled-up display contents also affect the user's judgment, making the operation of the washing machine complicated, which is not conducive to the user's obtaining a good interpersonal interaction experience.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below 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.
[0053] Embodiment 1
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a clothes processing device, comprising a body and an upper cover 2, wherein the upper cover 2 is mounted on the top of the body, and further comprising:
[0055] A first display device 100, which is a light-emitting structure disposed in the upper cover; a second display device 101, which is disposed on the front side, and / or the left side, and / or the right side of the body;
[0056] The first display device 100 and the second display device display the status information and / or operation information of the laundry treating device synchronously or separately.
[0057] In this embodiment, the clothing processing device may include a washing machine, a dryer, a washer-dryer, etc. The clothing processing device has an upper cover 2 and is a top-opening clothing processing device, which may be a top-opening washing machine, such as a pulsator washing machine, or a top-opening dryer or a washer-dryer.
[0058] The upper cover 2 of the clothing processing device of this embodiment has an integral structure and fully covers the top of the washing machine, so that the top of the washing machine is no longer divided into a display control area and an upper cover 2 area as in the prior art, and the upper cover 2 itself also has an integral structure and a beautiful appearance, which improves the overall aesthetics of the washing machine.
[0059] In this embodiment, the first display device 100 can have display and operation control functions, and is located on the upper cover 2 of the machine body, which can fully utilize the large area of the upper cover 2, and also conform to the user's habit of lowering their heads to operate after putting in clothes, which is convenient for users to operate and observe the display interface of the operation instructions. It can also be only a display device to display relevant status information or prompt information or operation information of the clothing processing device. The second display device 101 can be located on the left side, and / or the right side, and / or the front side of the machine body. One can be set on one side, or multiple second display devices 101 can be set on different sides. In this way, the user can also observe the content displayed on the interface of the second display device 101 at a relatively far distance, without having to get close to the washing machine to observe. In this way, the clothing processing device of the present application has at least two display devices that display on different surfaces of the washing machine, which is convenient for user operation and can provide users with display interfaces with multiple viewing angles, which is convenient for users to observe from multiple positions, thereby improving the experience of human-computer interaction.
[0060] A main control circuit board is provided on the clothing processing device, and the first display device 100 and the second display device 101 are respectively connected to the main control circuit board, so as to transmit operation signals to the main control circuit board, or receive signals from the main control circuit board, and display corresponding information.
[0061] In this embodiment, the user can operate in the first display device 100, select a program mode or input an operation instruction, and after the main control circuit board receives the user's instruction, it displays it through the first display device 100 and / or the second display device 101.
[0062] Among them, in addition to the light-emitting structure, the first display device 100 may also include a display module and a control module. The display module and the control module may be integrated into a display control panel or may be separately provided. The first display device 100 may include a display screen / touch screen provided at the top, or may include multiple display screens / touch screens provided at the top. The first display device 100 and the second display device 101 may display the same information or different information. The information includes a pattern or interface corresponding to the clothing processing information, including status information and operation information; for example, the functions, programs or parameters of the clothing processing device that can be selected by the user, various operation information during the operation of the clothing processing device, and status indication information of the inventory of various clothing treatment agents, etc.
[0063] In a preferred solution, the first display device 100 displays the user's operation information, such as the selected program, parameters, etc., and the second display device 101 displays various states of the clothing processing device during operation, such as the stage (such as washing stage, rinsing stage, dehydration stage, drying stage, end), water level, time, temperature, rotation speed, etc., so that the user can conveniently observe and grasp the progress of clothing processing from a distance, thereby improving the user experience.
[0064] The following is explained using a washing machine as an example.
[0065] Figure 2 This is a first schematic diagram of the upper cover 2 of the washing machine of the present invention, mainly showing the upper cover 2 and the pan base 13 from the direction of the axonometric view.
[0066] Figure 2 The upper cover 2 on the middle plate seat 13 is in an open state, and an air intake grille 6 is provided on the side of the upper cover 2 facing the plate seat 13. Figure 2 As can be seen from the figure, a clothing inlet 17 is provided on the tray 13, and the clothing inlet 17 is arranged in an approximately circular shape and close to the center of the tray 13. The overall layout of the tray 13 is developed around the clothing inlet 17. An additive inlet 18 is provided in an approximately triangular area formed by the two sides of the tray 13 and the clothing inlet 17, such as Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 2Two additive delivery ports 18 are provided in the pan base 13, one of which is provided with a cover, and the cover of the other additive delivery port 18 is omitted for easy observation. In addition, an ultrasonic cleaning module 19 is also provided on the clothing delivery port 17. The user holds the clothing and puts it to the generating port of the ultrasonic cleaning module 19, and the stains on the clothing are cleaned by the vibration of ultrasonic vibration waves. In the present invention, in order to better realize the washing function of the ultrasonic cleaning module 19, the present invention sets the clothing delivery port 17 as a delivery inlet 14 close to the upper end of the pan base 13 and a delivery outlet 15 close to the lower end of the pan base 13, and the delivery inlet 14 and the delivery outlet 15 are approximately circular, wherein the distance from the projection of the ultrasonic cleaning module 19 on the plane where the delivery outlet 15 is located to the center of the delivery outlet 15 is less than the distance from the projection of the ultrasonic cleaning module 19 on the plane where the delivery inlet 14 is located to the center of the delivery outlet 15. The distance between the center and the center of the inner drum is such that when the ultrasonic cleaning module 19 is arranged at the clothing inlet 17, it is closer to the center of the inner drum than the inlet 15, making it more convenient for users to wash clothes by hand, thereby improving the washing efficiency and the user experience. The present invention arranges an additive inlet 18 in the area formed by the two side walls of the pan base 13 and the clothing inlet 17. Without increasing the external size of the washing machine, the space of the clothing inlet 17 is increased, the capacity of the washing machine for a single wash is increased, the number of washes and time of the user are saved, and the washing efficiency is improved. In addition, by arranging the additive inlet 18 in the area formed by the two side walls of at least two pan bases 13 and the clothing inlet 17, the space of the pan base 13 is fully utilized, and the user's needs for different washing products such as detergents and softeners when washing are met.
[0067] Figure 3 This is a second schematic diagram of the structure of the upper cover 2 of the washing machine of the present invention, which mainly shows the disc seat 13 from the direction of the lower part of the disc seat 13. Figure 3 As can be seen in the figure, the upper cover 2 is formed by the cover plate 3 and the base 1 being buckled together. At the same time, a motor for driving the pivot is arranged at the bottom of the disc seat 13. Figure 3 The solution provided is that two motors drive two pivots, which can be understood by those skilled in the art as an example. In practical applications, the upper cover 2 can be opened or closed by setting a motor to drive two pivots. In addition, a holding chamber for detergent and softener is also provided at the bottom of the disc seat 13. In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical solution of the present invention by those skilled in the art, the present invention omits some components at the bottom of the disc seat 13, such as the pipeline connecting the two holding chambers and the valve body for conveying detergent into the inner barrel, etc. The connection method between the ultrasonic cleaning module 19 and the washing machine disc seat 13 is improved, so that the ultrasonic cleaning module 19 can be folded and stored when not in use, further increasing the space of the clothing inlet 17, and making the setting of the ultrasonic cleaning module 19 more user-friendly, thereby improving the user experience.
[0068] Figure 4 1 is a third schematic diagram of the structure of the upper cover 2 of the washing machine of the present invention, mainly showing the first display unit 9, the second display unit 10, the power button 11, the light emitting structure 4, the first sealing groove 5, the second sealing groove 12, the water leakage hole 7, the water collection tank 8, etc., which are arranged on the base 1 inside the upper cover 2. Figure 4 It can be seen that the first display unit 9, the second display unit 10 and the power button 11 are arranged in the upper cover 2, and the disk seat 13 also matches the shape of the upper cover 2, omitting the situation in which the upper cover 2 and the control panel are separated in the previous setting. At the same time, a second sealing groove 12 is arranged around the first display unit 9 to prevent the entry of water vapor and further damage to the electrical components. The light-emitting structure 4 surrounds the first display unit 9 and the second display unit 10. A first sealing groove 5 is arranged on the outside of the light-emitting structure 4. The first sealing groove 5 is filled with sealant, and the overflowing sealant bonds the cover plate 3 and the base 1 together. Further, the sealant includes a sealing part and a bonding part. The sealing part is filled in the sealing groove, and the bonding part overflows at the opening and the periphery of the sealing groove to bond the cover plate 3 to the base 1. At the same time, when the upper cover 2 is closed, the steam from the inside of the washing machine enters the gap between the base 1 and the cover plate 3 from the upper cover 2 toward the air inlet grille 6 on one side of the washing machine. Under the action of the first sealing groove 5, the steam is isolated from the light-emitting structure 4, and the water vapor blocked by the first sealing groove 5 condenses into water droplets. Since the upper cover 2 is provided with a certain inclination angle when closed, the condensed water droplets flow to the low point along the cover plate 3 in the inclined upper cover 2. A water leakage hole 7 and a water collecting tank 8 for guiding the water flow into the water leakage hole 7 are provided at the low point of the base 1 in the upper cover 2. The water droplets flow back into the washing machine from the water leakage hole 7. The steam mentioned here includes steam, water vapor, moisture and other gases formed by heating inside the washing machine or gasification of liquid water during washing. Further, the sealing structure includes a first sealing groove 5 arranged in a ring outside the light-emitting structure 4 and a second sealing groove 12 arranged in a ring outside the first display unit 9. Further, the first display unit 9 is a touch-operated display screen, and the second display unit 10 can be a display screen or an observation port for observing the state of the washing drum of the washing machine.
[0069] Figure 5 and Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the light emitting structure 4, which is mainly used to show the light emitting structure 4. Figure 6It can be seen that the light-emitting structure 4 is mainly composed of a first annular surface 401, a second annular surface 402, a third annular surface 403 and a fourth annular surface 404, and the lighting function is provided by a light-emitting unit 405 bonded to the first annular surface 401. In addition, the light-emitting structure 4 is connected to the base 1 through a buckle 20. If a failure of the light-emitting structure 4 occurs, the problem can be quickly solved by replacing the light-emitting structure 4. At the same time, in order to avoid loosening of the bonding between the light-emitting unit 405 and the first annular surface 401, a number of reinforcing ribs 21 are arranged at intervals around the center of the light-emitting structure 4 on the light-emitting unit 405 and the third annular surface 403 of the light-emitting structure 4. On the one hand, the reinforcing ribs 21 strengthen the strength of the light-emitting structure 4, and on the other hand, they also play a certain limiting role on the light-emitting unit 405, thereby avoiding poor lighting problems caused by the bonding of the light-emitting unit 405 to the first annular surface 401.
[0070] Figure 7 and Figure 8 It mainly shows the structure of the water leakage hole 7 and the water collection groove 8 in the base 1, and the positional relationship between the light-emitting unit 405 and the first sealing groove 5. Figure 7 The position relationship is the state when the upper cover 2 is closed. In order to further illustrate the base 1, Figure 7 The tray base 13, the cover plate 3 and some other electrical components are omitted; Figure 8 It can be seen that the water leakage hole 7 is arranged at the lower end of the upper cover 2, and the water droplets condensed from the water vapor flow downward from the inclined cover plate 3 to the water collecting tank 8. The water collecting tank 8 forms a tendency to guide the water leakage hole 7, and the water droplets flow back from the water leakage hole 7 into the washing machine.
[0071] Fig. 9 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the light-emitting structure 4 in the cover plate 3 of the present invention. It can be seen that the setting relationship between the light-transmitting area 301, the non-light-transmitting area 302 and the light-emitting unit 405, and the light-transmitting area 301 is set to deviate from the top of the light source of the light-emitting structure 4, so as to avoid the light of the light-emitting unit 405 being directly irradiated from the light-transmitting area 301.
[0072] The present invention arranges a light-emitting structure 4 on the upper cover 2 so that when the upper cover 2 is closed, it can provide a light source that radiates outward, which is convenient for the user to observe the status of the washing machine and enhances the practicality of the washing machine. The illumination structure of the light-emitting structure 4 is arranged so that the light radiated from the upper cover 2 is more uniform and soft, which improves the user experience. A sealing structure is arranged on the outer side of the light-emitting structure 4 to prevent steam from entering the interior of the upper cover 2 and causing damage to the electrical components in the upper cover 2. At the same time, a water collection tank 8 and a water leakage hole 7 are arranged to guide the water droplets formed by steam collected at the bottom of the upper cover 2 back to the interior of the washing machine, which further prevents steam from entering the interior of the upper cover 2 and causing damage to the electrical components in the upper cover 2.
[0073] In addition, by integrating the touch screen, the power button and the upper cover 2 into one, the upper cover 2 can cover the entire inner drum, thus avoiding the situation in which the upper cover 2 is separated from the operation screen and the control buttons. Without changing the outer dimensions of the washing machine, the size of the inner drum is expanded, the volume of the inner drum is increased, and the user's operation is facilitated. At the same time, the touch screen adopts a more user-friendly working method, which improves the user experience.
[0074] At the same time, by arranging the additive delivery port 18 in the area formed by the two side walls of the pan base 13 and the clothing delivery port 17, the space of the clothing delivery port 17 is increased without increasing the external size of the washing machine, and the single washing capacity of the washing machine is increased, which saves the user's washing times and time and improves the washing efficiency; by arranging the additive delivery port 18 in the area formed by the two side walls of at least two pan bases 13 and the clothing delivery port 17, the space of the pan base 13 is fully utilized, and the user's needs for different washing products such as detergents and softeners when washing are met. The application of the specific scheme described in the present invention in the embodiment is as follows.

[0076] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, the upper cover 2 described in this embodiment includes a base 1 which is set as the main body of the upper cover 2; a cover plate 3 which is connected to the base 1 and is set on the top of the upper cover 2 and matches the shape of the base 1; a light-emitting structure 4 is set in the base 1; the cover plate 3 has a light-transmitting area 301 and a non-light-transmitting area 302; the light-transmitting area 301 is set to deviate from the top of the light source of the light-emitting structure 4; the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 4 passes through the light-transmitting area 301 of the cover plate 3.
[0077] Embodiment 3
[0078] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, this embodiment is a further limitation of the above-mentioned embodiment 2. In this embodiment, a washing machine upper cover 2 structure is described, and a first sealing groove 5 is further provided in the base 1 and is arranged on the outside of the light-emitting structure 4. Sealant is poured into the first sealing groove 5, and under the action of the sealant, the light-emitting structure 4 is sealed with the external space.
[0079] Embodiment 4
[0080] like Figures 2 to 9As shown, this embodiment is a further limitation of the above-mentioned embodiment three. The first sealing groove 5 described in this embodiment and arranged on the outer side of the light-emitting structure 4, after the first sealing groove 5 is filled with sealant, the overflowed part bonds the cover plate 3 and the base 1 together. The sealant not only plays a role of sealing and moisture-proofing, but also plays a role of bonding the base 1 and the cover plate 3. Specifically, when the upper cover 2 is closed, the steam enters the gap between the base 1 and the cover plate 3 from the upper cover 2 toward the air inlet grille 6 on one side of the washing machine. Under the action of the first sealing groove 5, the steam and the light-emitting structure 4 are isolated.
[0081] Embodiment 5
[0082] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, this embodiment is a further limitation of any one of the above-mentioned embodiments from second to fourth. In this embodiment, the light-emitting structure 4 is provided with a leakage hole 7 near the edge of the base 1 for guiding the water droplets formed on the base 1 back to the washing machine. By providing a water collecting tank 8 and a leakage hole 7 for guiding the water droplets formed by steam collected at the bottom of the upper cover 2 back to the inside of the washing machine, steam is further prevented from entering the interior of the upper cover 2 and causing damage to the electrical components in the upper cover 2.
[0083] Embodiment 6
[0084] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, this embodiment is a further limitation of any one of the embodiments described in embodiments 1 to 5 above. When the upper cover 2 described in this embodiment is in a closed state, the upper cover 2 has an inclined angle, and the leakage hole 7 is arranged on the lower side of the upper cover 2 when the upper cover 2 is in a closed state. Furthermore, a water collecting tank 8 is arranged on the base 1, and the water collecting tank 8 is provided with leakage holes 7 distributed at intervals. When the upper cover 2 is closed, steam enters the gap between the base 1 and the cover plate 3 from the air inlet grille 6 on one side of the upper cover 2 toward the washing machine. The steam condenses into water droplets after contacting the base 1. Under the guidance of the inclined angle of the upper cover 2, the steam converges into the water collecting tank 8 and then flows into the washing machine from the leakage hole 7.
[0085] Embodiment 7
[0086] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, this embodiment is a further limitation of any one of the embodiments described in embodiments 1 to 6 above, and the light-emitting structure 4 described in this embodiment includes a first annular surface 401, a second annular surface 402, a third annular surface 403 and a fourth annular surface 404 which are embedded in the base 1 and connected in sequence to form a groove structure; a light-emitting unit 405 is arranged on the first annular surface 401 for emitting illumination light; the light-transmitting area 301 at least partially covers the groove structure formed by the first annular surface 401, the second annular surface 402, the third annular surface 403 and the fourth annular surface 404; the light-emitting unit 405 is connected to the first annular surface 401 by bonding, and the light-emitting unit 405 is an LED lamp.

In addition, the light-emitting structure 4 is connected to the base 1 through a buckle 20. If a failure of the light-emitting structure 4 occurs, the problem can be quickly solved by replacing the light-emitting structure 4. At the same time, in order to avoid loosening of the bonding between the light-emitting unit 405 and the first annular surface 401, a number of reinforcing ribs 21 are arranged at intervals around the center of the light-emitting structure 4 on the light-emitting unit 405 and the third annular surface 403 of the light-emitting structure 4. On the one hand, the reinforcing ribs 21 strengthen the strength of the light-emitting structure 4, and on the other hand, they also play a certain limiting role on the light-emitting unit 405, thereby avoiding poor lighting problems caused by the bonding of the light-emitting unit 405 to the first annular surface 401.
[0088] Embodiment 8
[0089] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, this embodiment is a further limitation of any one of the embodiments one to seven above.

The fourth annular surface 404 is connected to the third annular surface 403 and extends toward the edge of the disk base 13, and is parallel to the second annular surface 402.
[0090] Furthermore, the light emitting unit 405, the second annular surface 402, the third annular surface 403 and the fourth annular surface 404 form a cavity for reflecting the light emitted by the light emitting unit 405. The light emitted by the light emitting unit 405 is reflected by the second annular surface 402, the third annular surface 403 and the fourth annular surface 404, and then emitted from the light-transmitting area 301 of the cover plate 3, forming a uniform annular illumination light band.
[0091] Furthermore, the lighting light band emitted from the light-transmitting area 301 of the cover plate 3 may also be a semi-annular or incomplete annular light band; further still, the light-emitting structure 4 is a uniform light band that emits light as a whole or a light band with uniform intervals.
[0092] Embodiment 9

[0136] The opening 203 on the display panel bracket 201 is through-through from front to back, and the display panel 200 is installed in the opening 203 from the inner side of the display panel bracket 201. In this way, the display light or display screen on the display panel 200 can be fixed on the display panel bracket 201 and not blocked. After the display panel outer screen 202 covers the opening 203 from the outside, the display panel 200 is close to the display screen to jointly display the display information transmitted by the main control circuit board of the washing machine.
[0137] For easy installation, the display panel 200 is detachably connected to the display panel bracket 201 on the periphery of the opening 203, which can be plug-in, snap-on or screw-on. Preferably, the display panel 200 is snap-on connected to the display panel bracket 201 on the periphery of the opening 203 to play a positioning and limiting role.
[0138] In a further solution, a first clamping block 204 is provided on the display panel bracket 201 on the left and right sides and / or the upper and lower sides of the outer periphery of the opening 203, and a protruding elastic structure is provided on the first clamping block 204; and a first clamping hole 205 matching the first clamping block 204 is provided at a corresponding position of the display panel 200.
[0139] The length of the opening 203 extending in the left-right direction is greater than its width in the up-down direction. At least two first clamping blocks 204 are provided, which are provided on the upper and lower sides, or the left and right sides, preferably on the left and right sides of the opening 203 on the display panel bracket 201. Matching first clamping holes 205 are provided at corresponding positions on the left and right sides along the length direction of the display panel 200, so that a better fixing effect can be achieved and displacement is not easy to occur.
[0140] In a preferred solution, two first clamping blocks 204 are provided on the left and right sides of the opening 203 on the display panel bracket 201. The two clamping blocks have different upper and lower heights and are preferably provided on the diagonal line of the opening 203. The display panel 200 is provided with matching first clamping holes 205 at corresponding positions.
[0141] When the display panel 200 is placed at the opening 203 of the display panel bracket 201, the first clamping block 204 is docked with the first clamping hole 205. Under the action of external force, the elastic structure on the first clamping block 204 is deformed, so that the first clamping block 204 is inserted into the first clamping hole 205. After passing through the first clamping hole 205, the elastic structure resets and is restricted at the other end of the first clamping hole 205, thereby realizing the connection between the display panel 200 and the display panel bracket 201.
[0142] In a further solution, the display panel outer screen 202 covers the display panel bracket 201 from the outside, and the display panel outer screen 202 and the display panel bracket 201 are provided with mutually cooperating positioning structures.
[0143] Preferably, the positioning structure comprises a positioning column 206 arranged on the inner side of the display panel outer screen 202, and a positioning socket 207 arranged on the body of the display panel bracket 201, and the positioning column 206 and the positioning socket 207 are arranged correspondingly;
[0144] Preferably, the positioning holes 207 are located on the left and right sides of the opening 203 .
[0145] The positioning structures provided on the display panel outer screen 202 and the display panel bracket 201 can be used for positioning during assembly to avoid reverse installation or wrong installation, and are also conducive to further fixing the display panel outer screen 202 and the display panel bracket 201.
[0146] In a further solution, the display panel outer screen 202 and the display panel bracket 201 are further provided with a mutually matched connection structure, and the connection structure includes a second clamping hole 209 and a second clamping block 208. The display panel outer screen 202 and the display panel bracket 201 are clamped together through the second clamping hole 209 and the second clamping block 208. The display panel outer screen 202 can be provided with a second clamping hole 209 / a second clamping block 208, and the display panel bracket 201 can be provided with a matching second clamping block 208 / a second clamping hole 209.

[0147] As a specific solution, the connection structure includes a second clamping hole 209 provided on the display panel outer screen 202 and a second clamping block 208 provided at a corresponding position on the display panel bracket 201 .
[0148] In a preferred solution, a plurality of second clamping blocks 208 are arranged around the periphery of the opening 203. Since the display panel outer screen 202 and the display panel bracket 201 are long in the length direction, a plurality of second clamping blocks 208 are arranged around the periphery of the opening 203, and a plurality of second clamping holes 209 at corresponding positions are arranged on the back of the display panel outer screen 202, which can increase the fixing strength and ensure the stability of the installation.
[0149] In a further solution, one side of the second clamping block 208 on the display panel bracket 201 is fixed to the back of the display panel bracket 201, and the other side extends horizontally away from the back of the display panel bracket 201, and the extended end of the second clamping block 208 is provided with a protruding structure.
[0150] The second clamping block 208 can be formed integrally with the display panel bracket 201, and is formed by the back side of the display panel bracket 201 partially protruding and extending backwards. Correspondingly, the back side of the display panel outer screen 202 partially protrudes backwards at the corresponding position to form a protrusion, and a through hole penetrating from top to bottom is set in the center of the protrusion to form the first clamping hole 205. In this way, the display panel outer screen 202 is close to the display panel bracket 201 from the outside, and the second clamping hole 209 and the second clamping block 208 both protrude and extend backwards.
