Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of washing machines, and in particular to a surrounding frame fixing structure and a washing machine having the same. Background Art

[0002] The frame structure of the existing pulsator fully automatic washing machine generally arranges the functional components installed in the frame on the upper part of the corner plate of the box body. In addition, the frame is equipped with components such as a power supply, a water inlet valve, and a display screen, which greatly increases the installation space of the frame, thereby increasing the height of the frame. When the height of the outer barrel remains unchanged, the height of the entire machine will also increase.

[0003] Although the existing washing machine frame has been used for many years, it still has some disadvantages: 1. The frame protrudes from the upper part of the box body to a large extent, occupying the upper space, making the washing machine high, inconvenient to take clothes from the loading port, and poor in appearance; 2. The connection part of the box body is a circle of annular groove protruding from the outer edge of the box body, and the connecting ring of the frame is installed in the annular groove to connect the frame and the box body. This connection structure protrudes from the outside of the box body and also has the defect of poor appearance. In addition, the protruding structure occupies the surrounding space and is prone to collision; 3. The rear part of the inner peripheral wall of the frame is a vertical or slightly inclined baffle structure, which is chamfered with the left and right sides, so that the clothing loading port is only the front half above the inner barrel, and the loading port is small, which is not conducive to taking and putting clothes.

[0004] There are three ways to fix the frame to the washing machine body: one is to fix with screws, the second is to fix with buckles, and the third is to fix with screws and buckles. For example, CN 96213557.7 discloses a shell structure of a mini washing machine, including an injection-molded washing machine cover, a frame and a shell. The shell is an upper and lower split form, and the upper working upper shell and the lower shell are both integrally injection-molded single-layer wall structures. The outer diameter of the junction of the frame and the upper shell corresponds to the inner diameter of the upper shell, and the outer edge of the frame is clamped on the inner wall of the upper shell.

[0005] The mounting structure of the enclosure and the washing machine body in the prior art is simply fixed with screws. The more screws there are, the better the fastening degree between the enclosure and the washing machine body. However, the installation and disassembly are more troublesome, and additional parts are added. In addition, the process of screw installation is complicated, which consumes manpower and time, and the cost is high. The enclosure and the washing machine body are simply fixed with buckles. Although the structure is simple and the installation process is simplified, the fastening degree between the enclosure and the washing machine body is poor. When the impeller or the inner barrel rotates, there is looseness between the enclosure and the washing machine body.

[0006] Chinese patent application number 201110153616.9 discloses a small washing machine frame and a small washing machine. The frame includes a frame body, a control panel arranged on the surface of the frame body, a clothing access opening arranged on the frame body, a partition arranged at the lower part of the frame body, and also includes electrical components. The frame body and the partition cooperate to form a closed accommodating space, and the electrical components are arranged in the space.

[0007] Chinese patent application number 201210421049.5 discloses a washing machine frame and a washing machine equipped with the frame. The washing machine frame includes a frame body and a decorative plate arranged on the upper surface of the frame body. A circle of decorative strips is arranged on the outer periphery of the frame body. The decorative strips extend downward along the outer periphery to form a rim, and the rim wraps the upper edge of the box body inside the rim.

[0008] Both of the above solutions have the disadvantage of too high a frame height. In the first technical solution, a control panel is provided on the surface of the frame, and the frame and the partition cooperate to form a storage space for accommodating electrical components. Thus, since the frame needs to accommodate more components, the overall height of the frame is relatively high, which is inconsistent with the current popular design concept of lightweight and small size.

[0009] As the market demand for large-capacity, ultra-thin washing machines increases, how to maximize the use of the washing machine space and reduce the thickness of the frame has become one of the problems that need to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0010] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a frame fixing structure and a washing machine having the same, so as to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0011] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0012] A frame fixing structure comprises a frame, a box body and a support member, wherein a support assembly is arranged on the side wall of the box body, the support assembly is used to support and fix the frame, the frame is at least partially sunken into the box body, the support member is arranged below the frame, the support member is disconnected from the frame, and the support member is detachably connected to the box body.

[0013] This arrangement installs the support member on the inner side of the cabinet and the electrical components on the support member, thereby reducing the pressure on the top edge of the cabinet, greatly reducing the height of the surrounding frame, and increasing the service life of the washing machine; at the same time, the support member and the surrounding frame are separately and detachably fixedly connected to the cabinet, so that the electrical components on the support member can be quickly repaired and replaced by removing the surrounding frame, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0014] Furthermore, the distance that the surrounding frame extends out of the top of the box body is h1, the height of the box body is h2, and h1 / h2<0.002.

[0015] This arrangement sinks most of the structure of the frame into the interior of the case, sinks most of the structure of the frame and all of the structures of the supports and functional components on the supports into the cavity inside the case, and hides most of the assembly structure of the washing machine frame and the washing machine case inside the washing machine case, so that the frame cannot be seen from the outside, thereby increasing the overall beauty of the washing machine.

[0016] Furthermore, the surrounding frame is completely sunk into the box body, and the top end surface of the surrounding frame is lower than or flush with the upper end surface of the box body.

[0017] This arrangement discloses a scheme of sinking the entire surrounding frame into the interior of the casing, thereby sinking all functional components of the surrounding frame into the cavity inside the casing, thereby hiding the assembly structure of the washing machine frame and the washing machine casing inside the washing machine casing, reducing the overall height of the washing machine, and eliminating any unsightly factors caused by the assembly from the exterior, reducing the number of external devices, and facilitating the disassembly and installation of the surrounding frame structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the frame includes a connecting portion and a guiding portion, the connecting portion includes a connecting plate and a supporting plate, the connecting plate and the supporting plate are both horizontally arranged, the upper surface of the connecting plate is flush with the upper end surface of the box body, a height difference is formed between the supporting plate and the connecting plate, the height of the upper surface of the support plate is lower than the height of the upper surface of the connecting plate, the supporting plate is used to support the door assembly, a connecting vertical plate is arranged on the lower surface of the connecting plate, the connecting vertical plate is used to be detachably connected to the box body, and the guiding portion is arranged in a downward folded shape along the edge of the connecting portion away from one end of the box body.

[0019] This arrangement does not require the installation of electrical components in the accommodating space of the enclosure, thus simplifying the enclosure structure and saving materials. At the same time, an accommodating space with a height difference is formed on the upper surface of the enclosure, further reducing the overall height of the washing machine, while ensuring the reliability of the enclosure supporting the door assembly, and allowing the door assembly to be sealed when buckled on the enclosure, thereby preventing washing water in the washing machine from splashing outwards. At the same time, the space inside the washing machine body is rationally utilized to ensure the capacity of the washing machine.

[0020] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support frame, and the support frame is used to be detachably connected to the connecting vertical plate by plugging or snapping.

[0021] This arrangement improves the convenience of assembling the enclosure and the stability of the connection, and prevents the enclosure from being exposed to the outside, so that the enclosure does not contact the electrical components, making it lighter and reducing the pressure on the box.

[0022] Furthermore, the connecting vertical plate is arranged in a ring shape along the edge of the surrounding frame, and a plurality of the supporting frames are intermittently arranged on the annular inner wall of the box body.

[0023] This arrangement facilitates reasonable use of the space inside the box, avoids electrical components on the support, and improves the reliability of assembly of the surrounding frame and the box.

[0024] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a clamping block, and a clamping device is provided at the lower end of the connecting vertical plate, and the clamping device is clamped and connected to the clamping block.

[0025] This arrangement further improves the stability of the assembly connection between the surrounding frame and the box body.

[0026] Furthermore, a mounting boss is provided on the inner side wall of the box body, and the support member and the mounting boss are detachably fixed via a second connecting member.

[0027] This setting discloses a method for fixing a support member, by arranging a mounting boss protruding inward on the box body, thereby ensuring the connection strength of the support member and providing balanced support to the support member, avoiding deformation of the connection of the support member after the electrical component is fixed to the support member, and ensuring the reliability of support and fixation of the support member.

[0028] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a connecting platform, a screw platform is provided on the lower surface of the connecting plate, and the screw platform is fixedly connected to the connecting platform by connecting screws.

[0029] This arrangement allows the frame and the box to be connected or separated only by means of a disassembly tool, which ensures the stability of the assembly connection between the frame and the box, and at the same time improves the safety of assembling the frame and the box together, thereby avoiding potential safety hazards caused by the frame and the box being separated due to accidents or mishaps.

[0030] Another object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine, comprising the surrounding frame fixing structure as described above.

The frame and the casing are detachably connected by snap-fitting or plug-in connection, which facilitates the processing and production of the frame and the assembly of the frame and other components. It is also convenient for the repair and replacement of electrical components inside the frame, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the fixed frame structure and ensuring the reliability of the electrical components.

[0034] (3) The frame fixing structure and the washing machine having the same described in the present invention separate the support member from the frame so that the weight of the electrical components is all on the support member.

[0105] As an example of the present invention, the detachable connection in the above embodiment can be any form of plug-in connection, snap-on connection, threaded connection, or detachable fixation achieved through a third connection device.

[0106] Embodiment 3, as Figures 10 to 22 As shown, the present invention discloses another frame fixing structure, including a frame 3 and a box body 2, wherein the frame 3 is at least partially sunk into the box body 2, the frame 3 is detachably connected to the box body 2, the distance that the frame 3 extends out of the top of the box body 2 is h1, the height of the box body is h2, h1 / h2<0.002, and other structures can refer to other embodiments.

[0107] Preferably, h1 / h2<0.0015.

[0108] Compared with Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, this embodiment arranges the enclosure 3 and the housing 2 to be detachably connected. Although the process of assembling the enclosure 3 and the housing 2 is added during assembly, when the electrical component 6 arranged between the enclosure 3 and the housing 2 fails and needs to be repaired, the electrical component 6 can be quickly repaired and replaced by removing the enclosure.
