Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a display mounting structure and clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Taking washing machines as an example, in related technologies, the front door has a light-transmitting opening, and a display structure for displaying the working status of the washing machine is installed inside the light-transmitting opening. The display structure usually includes a bracket, a light-emitting element, and a light guide.

[0003] However, in related technologies, during assembly, the light guide is first installed on the bracket, that is, the light guide and the bracket are first combined into an integral structure, and then the combined integral structure is installed on the front sealing door. This process can easily scratch the light guide and result in a high scrap rate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, or at least partially solve them, embodiments of the present invention provide a display mounting structure and a clothing processing device.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a display mounting structure for a garment processing device. The display mounting structure includes a front sealing door, a bracket, and a light guide. The light guide is located between the bracket and the front sealing door. The front sealing door has a light-transmitting hole, and the light guide has a light-guiding protrusion that can extend into the light-transmitting hole, so that light emitted by a light-emitting element mounted on the bracket is guided out through the light-guiding protrusion. The bracket has a first mounting portion, and the front sealing door has a second mounting portion. The bracket is connected to the front sealing door through the cooperation of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, so that the light guide is pressed against the front sealing door.

[0006] The display mounting structure provided in this embodiment of the invention involves sequentially assembling the light guide and the bracket with the front sealing door. First, the light guide protrusion of the light guide is inserted into the light-transmitting hole of the front sealing door, thus pre-positioning the light guide on the front sealing door. Then, the bracket is installed on the front sealing door through the cooperation of the first and second mounting parts. Simultaneously, the bracket can press and fix the light guide against the front sealing door, ensuring the light guide is stably clamped between the front sealing door and the bracket. In other words, during assembly, the light guide is pre-positioned on the front sealing door first, and then the bracket is assembled on the front sealing door. After the bracket is in place, it presses the light guide against the front sealing door, thereby preventing scratches on the light guide to a certain extent and further reducing the scrap rate caused by scratches. At the same time, it saves on the connection structure and assembly time between the light guide and the bracket, improving assembly efficiency.

[0007] Optionally, a waterproof seal is provided at the interface between the light-transmitting hole and the light guide.

[0008] By installing a waterproof seal at the junction of the light-transmitting hole and the light guide, water vapor or liquid water is prevented from entering the display mounting structure through the light-transmitting hole and damaging the components, thus improving the waterproof performance and extending the service life of the display mounting structure and the equipment using it.

[0009] Optionally, the waterproof seal includes two waterproof strips, one of which is located above the light guide protrusion and the other of which is located below the light guide protrusion.

[0010] This design not only facilitates assembly but also further improves the waterproof performance of the display mounting structure.

[0011] Optionally, the light-guiding protrusion is an elongated protrusion extending along the width direction of the garment processing device, and the light-transmitting hole is an elongated hole into which the elongated protrusion can extend; the waterproof strip extends along the width direction of the garment processing device.

[0012] This design improves the safety of pre-positioning the light guide on the front sealing door, further preventing scratches on the light guide and reducing the scrap rate. Simultaneously, the waterproof seal extends along the width of the garment processing equipment and matches the shape of the light guide protrusion, further improving the waterproof sealing performance at the interface between the light guide protrusion and the light-transmitting hole, thus extending the service life of the display mounting structure provided in this embodiment.

[0013] Optionally, the light guide has a receiving groove on the side facing the front sealing door, the waterproof seal is located in the receiving groove, and part of the waterproof seal protrudes outside the groove opening to abut against the front sealing door.

[0014] This design, by partially enclosing the waterproof seal within the receiving groove, not only facilitates the assembly of the waterproof seal but also improves the connection stability between the waterproof seal and the light guide. Furthermore, without altering the relative position of the light guide and the front sealing door, the thickness of the waterproof seal can be increased, further enhancing its waterproof performance.

[0015] Optionally, the inner side of the light-transmitting hole has a bent edge extending toward the bracket; the periphery of the receiving groove is provided with a rib, and the bent edge and the rib together limit the waterproof seal.

[0016] By setting it up in this way, the waterproof seal is wrapped around the receiving groove. The bent edge inside the light-transmitting hole and the raised rib outside the receiving groove can also limit the waterproof seal, further improving the connection stability of the waterproof seal in the receiving groove, thereby improving the sealing performance between the light guide and the front sealing door.

[0017] Optionally, the waterproof seal is adhered to the side of the light guide near the front sealing door.

[0018] This design facilitates connection and assembly, while also improving the connection strength between the waterproof seal and the light guide.

[0019] Optionally, the waterproof sealant is a sponge.

[0020] Sponge has excellent water-blocking and waterproofing properties, and its simple structure makes it easy to implement. Furthermore, due to its elasticity, sponge can provide cushioning during assembly, preventing scratches on the side of the light guide that is away from the light-emitting component, thus improving the performance of the light-emitting component.

[0021] Optionally, there are at least two first mounting portions, and the at least two first mounting portions are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the bracket; there are at least two second mounting portions, and one first mounting portion corresponds to one second mounting portion.

[0022] By setting up multiple first and second mounting parts that cooperate with each other, the connection strength between the bracket and the front sealing door is improved, and the stability of the light guide between the front sealing door and the bracket is further improved, thereby improving the structural stability of the display mounting structure and helping to improve the working performance of the display mounting structure.

[0023] Optionally, the edge of the bracket has a first extended flange extending in a direction away from the front sealing door, and the edge of the front sealing door has a second extended flange extending towards the bracket; the first mounting part is disposed on the first extended flange, the second mounting part is disposed on the second extended flange, and when the bracket and the front sealing door are assembled in place, the first extended flange is located inside the second extended flange.

[0024] This design improves the structural strength of the bracket and the front sealing door, and further enhances the connection strength between the bracket and the front sealing door.

[0025] Optionally, one of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion is a latching protrusion, and the other of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion is a latching groove into which the latching protrusion can extend; and / or, the first mounting portion includes a first mounting hole, the second mounting portion includes a second mounting hole, and the bracket is connected to the front sealing door by fasteners passing through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

[0026] It has a simple structure and is easy and reliable to connect.

[0027] Optionally, the light-emitting element is disposed on the side of the bracket away from the light guide element, and the bracket is provided with a light-transmitting hole for light from the light-emitting element to pass through; a light-diffusing film is disposed between the light guide element and the bracket, and the light-diffusing film covers at least part of the light-transmitting hole.

[0028] A light-diffusing film is placed between the light guide and the light-emitting component. On the one hand, it can evenly separate the light emitted by each LED on the light-emitting component, making it easier to display. On the other hand, it can prevent water vapor or liquid water from entering the light-emitting component through the light-transmitting hole, further improving the waterproof performance.

[0029] Optionally, the side of the bracket facing the light guide has a receiving groove for accommodating the light-diffusing film, the light-diffusing film being located in the receiving groove.

[0030] This arrangement allows the light-diffusing film to be placed in the receiving groove, facilitating assembly and improving the connection stability between the light-diffusing film and the support.

[0031] Secondly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a garment processing device, including the aforementioned display mounting structure. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0043] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0044] Typically, the front door of a garment processing device has a light-transmitting opening, and a display structure for displaying the working status of the garment processing device is installed inside the light-transmitting opening. The display structure usually includes a bracket, a light-emitting element, and a light guide.

[0045] Clothing processing equipment can include, for example, drum washing machines and clothes dryers.

[0046] However, in the relevant technologies, during assembly, the light guide needs to be installed on the bracket first, that is, the light guide and the bracket are combined into an integral structure, and then the integrated structure is installed on the front sealing door. This process can easily scratch the light guide and result in a high scrap rate.

[0047] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a display mounting structure and a garment processing device having the display mounting structure. In this display mounting structure, the light guide and the bracket each independently cooperate with the front sealing door. That is, the light guide and the bracket are separated. First, the guide protrusion of the light guide is inserted into the light-transmitting hole of the front sealing door. Then, the light guide is pressed against the inner wall of the front sealing door through the cooperation of the bracket and the front sealing door. This, to a certain extent, avoids scratches on the light guide, further reducing the scrap rate caused by scratches. At the same time, it saves on the connection structure and assembly time between the light guide and the bracket, improving assembly efficiency.

[0048] The following detailed description uses specific embodiments to illustrate the display mounting structure and the clothing processing equipment:

[0049] Example 1

[0050] refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a display mounting structure for clothing processing equipment. The display mounting structure includes a front sealing door 1, a bracket 2, and a light guide 3. In specific use, the display mounting structure can be used to display the working status of the equipment using the display mounting structure, such as paused or running.

[0051] In this embodiment, reference 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the light guide 3 is located between the bracket 2 and the front sealing door 1. The front sealing door 1 has a light-transmitting hole 11. The light guide 3 has a light-guiding protrusion 31 that can extend into the light-transmitting hole 11, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting element 5 mounted on the bracket 2 can be guided out through the light-guiding protrusion 31. In other words, the light emitted by the light-emitting element 5 in the display mounting structure can be guided out through the light-transmitting hole 11 through the light guide 3 and the light-guiding protrusion 31, so as to expose the display information of the light-emitting element 5 to the outside of the clothing processing equipment, so that the user can understand the working status of the clothing processing equipment through the display information of the light-emitting element 5.

[0052] It should be noted that the outer surface of the front sealing door 1 is the exterior surface of the garment processing equipment, and the light-transmitting hole 11 on the front sealing door 1 is also exposed on the exterior surface, that is, the light-transmitting hole 11 on the front sealing door 1 faces the user. The structural form of the front sealing door 1 and the light-transmitting hole 11 is not limited.

[0053] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the bracket 2 has a first mounting part, and the front sealing door 1 has a second mounting part. The bracket 2 is connected to the front sealing door 1 through the cooperation of the first mounting part and the second mounting part, so as to press the light guide 3 against the front sealing door 1.

[0054] During assembly, the light guide 3 and the bracket 2 are each individually connected to the front sealing door 1. (Refer to...) Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the light guide protrusion 31 of the light guide 3 is first inserted into the light-transmitting hole 11 of the front sealing door 1 from the inside, that is, the light guide 3 is pre-positioned on the front sealing door 1. Then, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the first mounting part of the bracket 2 and the second mounting part on the front sealing door 1 are connected together. At this time, one side of the light guide 3 abuts against the front sealing door 1, and the other side of the light guide 3 abuts against the bracket 2. Thus, the light guide 3 can be abutted against the front sealing door 1 through the bracket 2. That is to say, under the action of the first mounting part and the second mounting part, the light guide 3 is abutted against the front sealing door 1 by the bracket 2. The connection is convenient and the structure is stable, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the light guide 3 being scratched to a certain extent, reducing the scrap rate, and improving the working performance and service life of the light guide 3.

[0055] Furthermore, since there is no need to set up a connecting structure between the light guide 3 and the bracket 2, the assembly process is simplified, saving manpower and resources, reducing costs, and improving work efficiency.

[0056] Through the above technical solution, the display installation structure provided in this embodiment, by sequentially cooperating the light guide 3 and the bracket 2 with the front sealing door 1, that is, firstly inserting the light guide protrusion 31 of the light guide 3 into the light transmission hole 11 of the front sealing door 1, thereby pre-positioning the light guide 3 on the front sealing door 1; then, when the bracket 2 is installed on the front sealing door 1 through the cooperation of the first mounting part and the second mounting part, at the same time, the bracket 2 can abut and fix the light guide 3 on the front sealing door 1, so that the light guide 3 is stably clamped between the front sealing door 1 and the bracket 2. With this design, during assembly, the light guide 3 is pre-positioned on the front sealing door 1 first, and then the bracket 2 is assembled on the front sealing door 1. After the bracket 2 is in place, it can press the light guide 1 against the front sealing door 1, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of the light guide 3 being scratched to a certain extent, and further reducing the scrap rate of the light guide 3 due to scratches. At the same time, it saves the connection structure and assembly time between the light guide 3 and the bracket 2, and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments, reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a waterproof seal 4 is provided at the junction of the light-transmitting hole 11 and the light guide 3.

[0058] Typically, the operating environment for garment processing equipment is characterized by high humidity, and sometimes liquid water may adhere to its exterior surface. If moisture or liquid water enters the display mounting structure through the light-transmitting hole 11, it can cause equipment malfunction. Therefore, participants... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and 4As shown, by setting a waterproof seal 4 at the junction of the light-transmitting hole 11 and the light guide 3, water vapor or liquid water can be prevented from entering the display mounting structure through the light-transmitting hole 11 and damaging the components to a certain extent, thus improving the waterproof performance and thereby increasing the service life of the display mounting structure and the equipment using the display mounting structure, resulting in good safety.

[0059] It is understandable that the waterproof seal 4 can be set on the side of the light guide 3 near the front sealing door 1, or it can be set on the inner wall of the front sealing door 1. It can be selected arbitrarily according to the specific use case, and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0060] In some embodiments, the waterproof seal 4 includes two waterproof strips, one of which is located above the light guide protrusion 31 and the other is located below the light guide protrusion 31, which not only facilitates assembly but also further improves the waterproof performance of the display mounting structure.

[0061] Of course, the waterproof seal 4 can also be an annular seal ring, which surrounds the light guide protrusion 31.

[0062] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the light guide protrusion 31 is an elongated protrusion extending along the width direction of the garment processing equipment, the light transmission hole 11 is an elongated hole into which the elongated protrusion can extend, and the waterproof strip extends along the width direction of the garment processing equipment.

[0063] refer to Figure 1 As shown, when the user faces the side where the front door 1 is located, the width direction of the clothing processing device is from the user's left to the right. The width direction of the front door 1 and the light guide 3 is consistent with the width direction of the clothing processing device.

[0064] The light guide protrusion 31 is configured as an elongated protrusion extending along the width direction, and the light transmission hole is an elongated hole extending along the width direction. This improves the safety of pre-positioning the light guide on the front sealing door, further avoids scratches on the light guide, and reduces the scrap rate. Simultaneously, a waterproof strip extends along the width direction of the garment processing equipment and is positioned at the mating point between the light guide protrusion 31 and the light transmission hole 11. This further improves the waterproof sealing performance at the mating point and extends the service life of the display mounting structure provided in this embodiment.

[0065] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the light guide 3 has a receiving groove 32 on the side facing the front sealing door 1. The waterproof seal 4 is located in the receiving groove 32, and part of the waterproof seal 4 protrudes outside the groove opening of the receiving groove 32. That is, in the direction from the bottom of the receiving groove 32 to the groove opening, the size of the waterproof seal 4 is greater than the groove depth of the receiving groove 32. So when the light guide protrusion 31 of the light guide 3 is inserted into the light transmission hole 11, the side of the waterproof seal 4 near the front sealing door 1 abuts against the inner wall of the front sealing door 1, and the sealing effect is good.

[0066] This arrangement, by partially enclosing the waterproof seal 4 within the receiving groove 32, not only facilitates the assembly of the waterproof seal 4 but also improves the connection stability between the waterproof seal 4 and the light guide 3. Furthermore, without altering the relative position of the light guide 3 and the front sealing door 1, the thickness of the waterproof seal 4 can be increased, further enhancing its waterproof performance.

[0067] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, the inner side of the light-transmitting hole 11 has a bent edge 111 extending toward the bracket 2. (Reference) Figure 4 As shown, the periphery of the receiving groove 32 is provided with a raised rib 25, and the bent edge 111 and the raised rib 25 together limit the waterproof seal 4.

[0068] In practical use, the waterproof seal 4 is wrapped around the receiving groove 32. The waterproof seal 4 can also be limited by the bent edge 111 inside the light-transmitting hole 11 and the convex rib 25 on the periphery of the receiving groove 32, which further improves the connection stability of the waterproof seal 4 in the receiving groove 32, thereby improving the sealing between the light guide and the front sealing door.

[0069] The bent edge 111 is arranged around the inner side of the light-transmitting hole 11 along the circumference of the light-transmitting hole 11. That is, the bent edge 111 is an annular flange arranged inside the light-transmitting hole 11, and the bent edge 111 bends and extends towards the bracket 2, that is, towards the direction away from the user, which improves the sealing performance and helps to extend the service life of the display installation structure provided in this embodiment.

[0070] In some embodiments, the waterproof seal 4 is bonded to the side of the light guide 3 near the front sealing door 1, which facilitates connection and assembly, and at the same time improves the connection strength between the waterproof seal 4 and the light guide 3.

[0071] For example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the waterproof seal 4 is bonded to the receiving groove 32 of the light guide 3, which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble.

[0072] In other embodiments, the waterproof seal 4 can be bonded to the inner wall of the front sealing door 1 with structural adhesive, or a receiving groove for accommodating the waterproof seal 4 can be provided on the inner wall of the front sealing door 1, and the waterproof seal 4 can be bonded to the receiving groove on the inner wall of the front sealing door 1 with structural adhesive.

[0073] In some embodiments, the waterproof seal 4 is a sponge.

[0074] The sponge has excellent water-blocking and waterproofing properties, and its structure is simple and easy to implement. At the same time, because the sponge is also elastic, it can play a certain role in cushioning during assembly, which to some extent prevents the side of the light guide 3 away from the light-emitting element 5 from being scratched, thus improving the working performance of the light-emitting element 5.

[0075] In other embodiments, the waterproof seal 4 may be made of materials such as rubber or silicone.

[0076] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, there are at least two first mounting parts, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the bracket 2; there are at least two second mounting parts, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the front sealing door 1, and one first mounting part corresponds to one second mounting part. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0077] By setting multiple first mounting parts and second mounting parts that cooperate with each other, the connection strength between the bracket 2 and the front sealing door 1 is improved, and the stability of the light guide 3 between the front sealing door 1 and the bracket 2 is further improved, thereby improving the structural stability of the display mounting structure and helping to improve the working performance of the display mounting structure provided in this embodiment.

[0078] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the edge of the bracket 2 has a first extended flange 22 extending in a direction away from the front sealing door 1, and the edge of the front sealing door 1 has a second extended flange 13 extending towards the bracket 2. A first mounting part is disposed on the first extended flange 22, and a second mounting part is disposed on the second extended flange 13. When the bracket 2 and the front sealing door 1 are assembled in place, the first extended flange 22 is located inside the second extended flange 13. This design increases the contact area between the bracket 2 and the front sealing door 1, improves the structural strength of the bracket 2 and the front sealing door 1, and further improves the connection strength between the bracket 2 and the front sealing door 1.

[0079] For example, refer to Figure 6As shown, the bracket 2 has two opposing sides, each extending a first extended flange 22 in a direction away from the front sealing door 1. That is, the bracket 2 has two opposing first extended flanges 22, and multiple first mounting portions are disposed on the two first extended flanges 22 of the bracket 2. Similarly, the front sealing door 1 has two opposing sides, each extending a second extended flange 13 in a direction towards the bracket 2. That is, the front sealing door 1 has two opposing second extended flanges 13, and multiple second mounting portions are disposed on the two second extended flanges 13 of the front sealing door 1. One first extended flange 22 corresponds to one second extended flange 13, and one first mounting portion corresponds to one second mounting portion. This design increases the connection strength between the bracket 2 and the front sealing door 1, resulting in a stable structure and high reliability.

[0080] In some embodiments, one of the first mounting part and the second mounting part is a latching protrusion 211, and the other of the first mounting part and the second mounting part is a latching groove 121 into which the latching protrusion 211 can extend. The first mounting hole 212 and the second mounting hole 122 are brackets 2, first mounting holes 212 and second mounting holes 122. The front sealing door 1 has a simple structure and is easy and reliable to connect.

[0081] As an optional implementation method, refer to Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the first mounting part is a latching protrusion 211 provided on the bracket 2, and the second mounting part is a latching groove 121 provided on the front sealing door 1 into which the latching protrusion 211 can be latched.

[0082] As another alternative implementation, the first mounting part is a slot 121 provided on the bracket 2, and the second mounting part is a protrusion 211 provided on the front sealing door 1 that can extend into the slot 121.

[0083] In some other embodiments, the first mounting part includes a first mounting hole 212, and the second mounting part includes a second mounting hole 122. The bracket 2 is connected to the front sealing door 1 by fasteners such as screws passing through the first mounting hole 212 and the second mounting hole 122. The structure is simple and easy to assemble.

[0084] The first mounting hole 212 can be set on the first extended flange 22 of the bracket 2, and the second mounting hole 122 can be set on the second extended flange 13 of the front sealing door 1.

[0085] In practice, when a card protrusion 211 or a card groove 121 is provided on the bracket 2, a first mounting hole 212 can also be provided at the same time. Correspondingly, when a card groove 121 or a card protrusion 211 is provided on the front sealing door 1, a second mounting hole 122 matching the first mounting hole 212 can also be provided at the same time.

[0086] For example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the bracket 2 has two corresponding first extended flanges 22, each with two protrusions 211 and a first mounting hole 212. Correspondingly, the front door 1 has two corresponding second extended flanges 13, each with two slots 121 and a second mounting hole 122. One protrusion 211 corresponds to one slot 121, and one first mounting hole 212 corresponds to one second mounting hole 122. The bracket 2 is installed on the front door 1 by the cooperation of four sets of protrusions 211 and slots 121, and by two screws passing through the first mounting hole 212 and the corresponding second mounting hole 122. The connection is convenient and the structure is stable, thus reliably abutting the light guide 3 against the front door 1.

[0087] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the light-emitting element 5 is disposed on the side of the bracket 2 opposite to the light guide 3, and the bracket 2 has a light-transmitting hole 23 for the light from the light-emitting element 5 to pass through. The light-emitting element 5 includes a PCB board and a lamp body. The PCB board is assembled to the side of the bracket 2 opposite to the light guide 3 by potting glue or screws, and the lamp body is disposed on the side of the PCB board closer to the bracket 2. When the PCB board and the bracket 2 are assembled in place, refer to... Figure 3 As shown, the lamp body extends into the light-transmitting hole 23, at which point the light-transmitting hole 23 is equivalent to the lamp cavity.

[0088] The lamp body can be multiple LED light points, which are arranged along the length or width of the PCB board. Of course, the lamp body can also be an LED light strip.

[0089] Understandably, the light-transmitting hole 23 is a strip-shaped hole that matches the lamp body.

[0090] For specific implementation, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the opening size of the light-transmitting hole 23 gradually increases along the direction from the light-emitting element 5 to the light-guiding element 3, which is conducive to the diffusion of light and results in a good display effect.

[0091] In this embodiment, reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a light-diffusing film 6 is provided between the light guide 3 and the bracket 2. That is, the light-diffusing film 6 is provided on the side of the bracket 2 away from the lamp body, and the light-diffusing film 6 covers at least part of the light-transmitting hole 23. This design can, on the one hand, evenly separate the light emitted by each LED on the light-emitting element 5, which is convenient for display; on the other hand, it can prevent water vapor or liquid water from entering the light-emitting element 5 through the light-transmitting hole 23, which further improves the waterproof performance.

[0092] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the side of the bracket 2 facing the light guide 3 has a receiving groove 24 for accommodating the light-diffusing film 6. The light-diffusing film 6 is located in the receiving groove 24, which facilitates assembly and also improves the connection stability between the light-diffusing film 6 and the bracket 2.

[0093] Among them, the side of the light-diffusing film 6 that is close to the light guide 3 is flush with the opening of the receiving groove 24.

[0094] In addition, the light-diffusing film 6 can be placed in the receiving groove 24, and the outer surface of the light-diffusing film 6 can be pressed against the groove wall of the receiving groove 32. Of course, the light-diffusing film 6 can also be bonded to the receiving groove 32 with structural adhesive.

[0095] Example 2

[0096] This embodiment also provides a clothing processing device, such as a washing machine, dryer, or other clothing processing equipment.

[0097] The garment processing equipment includes a display mounting structure.

[0098] The display installation structure in this embodiment has the same specific structure and implementation principle as the display installation structure provided in Embodiment 1, and can bring the same or similar technical effects. It will not be described in detail here, but can be referred to the description of the above embodiments.

[0099] Other technical features are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0100] The garment processing equipment provided in this invention sequentially engages the light guide and the bracket with the front sealing door. First, the light guide protrusion of the light guide is inserted into the light-transmitting hole of the front sealing door, thus pre-positioning the light guide on the front sealing door. Then, the bracket is installed on the front sealing door through the cooperation of the first and second mounting parts. Simultaneously, the bracket can abut and fix the light guide against the front sealing door, ensuring the light guide is stably clamped between the front sealing door and the bracket. This design, to a certain extent, avoids scratches on the light guide, further reducing the scrap rate caused by scratches. At the same time, it saves on the connection structure and assembly time between the light guide and the bracket, improving assembly efficiency.

[0101] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
