DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a door for storing a washing machine, comprising a washing machine case 1, a storage slot 2 is provided on one side of the washing machine case 1, a storage chute 3 is provided on one side of the storage slot 2, a damping telescopic rod 10 is fixedly connected to a side of the storage slot 2 away from the storage chute 3, a second support rod 9 is rotatably connected to the output end of the damping telescopic rod 10, a first support rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of the storage slot 2 and directly below the damping telescopic rod 10, and the middle part of the first support rod 8 is connected to the second support rod 9 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the storage groove 2, a transverse slide groove 4 is provided on the top of the storage groove 2, the interior of the transverse slide groove 4 is a sliding limit mechanism 5, the limit mechanism 5 includes a connecting block 13 and a connecting slide rod 14, the bottom of the connecting block 13 is connected to a No. 1 guide rail 6, one side of the No. 1 guide rail 6 is fixedly connected to a No. 2 guide rail 7, the No. 1 support rod 8 is slidably connected to the No. 2 guide rail 7, the No. 2 support rod 9 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the No. 2 guide rail 7, and one side of the No. 1 guide rail 6 is rotatably connected to a washing machine door 11 through a connecting rod.

[0022] Among them, the limiting mechanism 5 includes a connecting block 13, a connecting slide rod 14, an n-shaped baffle plate 15, a limiting plate 16, a buffer spring 17, a reset groove 22, a reset spring 23 and a limiting slide rod 24. The inside of the transverse slide groove 4 is slidably connected with the roller 12, one side of the roller 12 is rotatably connected with the connecting block 13, the connecting block 13 is slidably connected to the transverse slide groove 4, one end of the connecting block 13 is fixedly connected with the connecting slide rod 14, the outside of the connecting slide rod 14 is slidably connected with the n-shaped baffle plate 15, the outside of the connecting slide rod 14 and the inside of the n-shaped baffle plate 15 are fixedly connected with the limiting plate 16, and the outside of the connecting slide rod 14 and the inside of the n-shaped baffle plate 15 are sleeved with a buffer spring 17.

[0023] Among them, a buffer groove 18 is opened on one side of the washing machine body 1 close to the storage slide groove 3, and a damping slide groove 19 is fixedly connected to the inside of the buffer groove 18, and a buffer support rod 20 is fixedly connected to the inside of the damping slide groove 19. A damping spring 21 is sleeved on the outer side of the buffer support rod 20 for easy buffering. By squeezing the damping spring 21, the hand resistance becomes so large that it cannot be pulled, and the user can rotate the door to close it.

[0024] The connecting slide bar 14 has the same height as the damping slide groove 19 , and the diameter of the connecting slide bar 14 is smaller than the width of the damping slide groove 19 , so that the connecting slide bar 14 and the damping slide groove 19 can cooperate to complete the buffering.

[0025] Among them, a reset groove 22 is opened on the side of the storage groove 2 close to the buffer groove 18, and a reset spring 23 is fixedly connected inside the reset groove 22. One end of the reset spring 23 is fixedly connected to a limiting slide rod 24, which is convenient for increasing the pulling resistance when pulling, so as to facilitate identification of whether the washing machine door 11 is stretched into place.

[0026] The washing machine door 11 is slidably connected to the storage chute 3, so that the washing machine door 11 can be stored and used easily.

[0027] Among them, the two ends of the top of the n-shaped baffle 15 are designed with bevels, and the end of the limiting slide rod 24 close to the n-shaped baffle 15 is an arc-shaped structure, which is convenient for realizing the change of resistance through the cooperation of the n-shaped baffle 15 and the limiting slide rod 24, and is convenient for sensing whether the washing machine door 11 is stretched into place.

[0028] Specifically, when the present invention is used, the washing machine door 11 is rotated to a position perpendicular to the washing machine body 1, and then the washing machine door 11 is pushed into the storage slot 2 through the storage slide groove 3. Under the action of the thrust, the washing machine door 11 slides in the storage slot 2. At this time, under the action of the thrust, the damping slide groove 19 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting slide rod 14, and the damping spring 21 pushes the connecting slide rod 14. Under the action of the thrust, the n-shaped baffle plate 15 pushes the limiting slide rod 24 back into the reset groove 22, and then the connecting slide rod 14 pushes the connecting block 13, and the connecting block 13 drives the roller 12 to slide in the horizontal slide groove 4, and the connecting block 13 drives the No. 1 guide rail 6 and the No. 2 guide rail 7 to slide to one side. During the sliding process, the No. 1 support rod 8 slides upward along the No. 2 guide rail 7, and the No. 2 support rod 8 slides upward along the No. 2 guide rail 7. The support rod 9 presses against the damping telescopic rod 10 and contracts inward, so that the washing machine door 11 is stored in the storage groove 2. When opening the door, the washing machine door 11 is pulled, and the washing machine door 11 drives the No. 1 guide rail 6 and the No. 2 guide rail 7 to slide to one side. During the sliding process, the No. 1 support rod 8 slides downward along the No. 2 guide rail 7, and the No. 2 support rod 9 pulls the damping telescopic rod 10 to extend outward, so that the washing machine door 11 is pulled out of the storage groove 2. During the pulling out process, when the n-shaped baffle 15 presses against the limiting slide bar 24, the resistance becomes greater. When pulling hard, the limiting slide bar 24 slides from the top of the n-shaped baffle 15, and under the action of the reset spring 23, it slides to the other end of the n-shaped baffle 15. At this time, the resistance becomes smaller, and the washing machine door 11 can be rotated to cover the outside of the washing machine.
