Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of household appliance technology, specifically, it relates to a countertop structure and a washer-dryer combo device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, washing machines, as laundry appliances, are increasingly favored by consumers due to their convenience in washing and draining. Washing machines in related technologies typically do not have a drying module. This is mainly because installing a drying module in a conventional way often requires increasing the size of the washing machine, thus increasing the overall space occupied. Without a drying module, users cannot enjoy the integrated washing and drying functions, which is inconvenient. Therefore, washer-dryer combos have emerged on the market. These combos include a washing machine and a dryer, with the dryer stacked on top of the washing machine. This allows for both washing and drying functions without increasing the overall space occupied.

[0003] In washer-dryer combos, the dryer is stacked on top of the washing machine. The circuit boards, control panels, and other electrical components of both the dryer and washing machine are located on the front of the machine, specifically below the dryer. The dryer is stacked on the top shelf of the washing machine, and these electrical components are located below the shelf. Therefore, leaking condensate from the dryer will flow downwards due to gravity and come into contact with these electrical components. This condensate will corrode the components, reducing their lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a countertop structure and a washer-dryer integrated device. By setting a guide groove on the countertop, the condensate water leaking from the dryer can be directed away from the electrical components, so as to avoid the condensate water from contacting the electrical components and corroding them, thereby improving the service life of the electrical components.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] The present invention provides a countertop structure, including a countertop, and a flow guide groove is provided on the outer periphery of the countertop, with the groove opening facing upward.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the platform protrudes away from the platform to form the bottom wall of the guide channel, and the bottom wall of the guide channel protrudes upward to form the side wall of the guide channel.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer peripheral edge of the bottom of the platform extends downward to form a flange, and the bottom edge of the flange extends away from the platform to form the bottom wall of the guide channel.

[0009] Furthermore, the sidewalls of the guide channel, which are opposite to the outer periphery of the platform, are inclined forward.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide channel is located on the front side of the platform, and the guide channel extends in the left and right direction. The left and right ends of the guide channel extend to the left and right ends of the adjacent platform, respectively, and at least one end of the two ends of the guide channel in the extension direction is provided with a guide outlet.

[0011] Preferably, at least one of the left and right ends of the guide channel is open, and the open end serves as the guide outlet;

[0012] More preferably, the guide channel has openings at both the left and right ends, and both openings serve as guide outlets.

[0013] Furthermore, the front side of the flange of the tabletop is provided with a through hole for the connecting component to pass through and connect with the tabletop, and the height of the bottom wall of the guide channel protruding upward is not higher than the lower edge of the through hole.

[0014] Preferably, perforations are provided at both ends of the front side of the flange, and the guide groove extends to the positions beyond the corresponding perforations at both ends of the front side.

[0015] The present invention also provides a washer-dryer combo, including a washing machine and a dryer stacked together, with the washing machine cabinet topped by the washing machine countertop structure provided by the above-described technical solution, and the dryer stacked on top of the countertop.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the front side of the washing machine body is provided with a long strip-shaped notch extending in the left and right direction. The front side of the countertop is flush with the rear side of the long strip-shaped notch. Electrical components are installed inside the long strip-shaped notch, and the electrical components are located below the guide channel.

[0017] Furthermore, the washing machine body and countertop are provided with a long strip-shaped notch for sealing and a front decorative panel on the front side of the countertop. The front side of the washing machine body, the front side of the countertop and the front decorative panel form a cavity, and the electrical components and the flow guide channel are all located in the cavity.

[0018] Furthermore, the left and right ends of the guide channel extend to the left and right side walls adjacent to the washing machine cabinet, respectively.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0020] By installing drainage channels on the countertop, the condensate leaking from the dryer can be directed away from the electrical components, preventing the condensate from contacting and corroding the components, thus extending their lifespan.

[0021] By placing the drainage channel on the front side of the countertop, with both ends of the drainage channel extending to the left and right ends near the countertop, the condensate leaking from the dryer is prevented from corroding the electrical components located on the front side of the machine below the countertop.

[0022] By providing perforations for other components to pass through on the front edge of the countertop, the height of the bottom wall of the guide channel protruding upwards is not higher than the lower edge of the perforation. This facilitates the connection of the countertop and the dryer to pass through the perforation into the channel of the countertop and avoids the connection affecting the guide channel's flow of condensate.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a countertop structure, including a countertop 11, on which a flow guiding structure 2 is provided to guide the flow of water.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present invention, the guide structure 2 on the countertop 11 can guide the condensate leaking from the dryer 4 away from the electrical components, thereby preventing the condensate from contacting the electrical components and corroding them, and improving the service life of the electrical components; the guide structure is a guide groove.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the flow guiding structure 2 is a strip-shaped flow guiding groove 21. The flow guiding groove 21 extends circumferentially along the platform 11, the groove opening 211 of the flow guiding groove is set upward, and the groove wall of the flow guiding groove is provided with a flow guiding outlet 214.

[0040] In embodiments of the present invention, the platform structure 1 can be used in a washing machine 3 or a dryer 4, with the platform structure 1 located on the top of the washing machine housing 31 or the top of the dryer housing; therefore, the platform structure 1 can be used in an integrated device with an upper dryer and a lower washing machine stacked together, with the platform structure 1 located on the top of the washing machine housing 31; the platform structure 1 can also be used in an integrated device with an upper dryer and a lower dryer stacked together, with the platform structure 1 located on the top of the lower dryer housing; or, the platform structure 1 can also be used in an integrated device with an upper washing machine and a lower washing machine stacked together, with the platform structure 1 located on the top of the lower washing machine housing; the platform structure is not limited to the above-mentioned integrated device with stacked bodies.

[0041] The flow guiding structure 2 is a strip-shaped trough structure, which is a flow guiding trough 21. The condensate water leaking from the dryer 4 flows downward due to gravity and flows into the flow guiding trough 21 through the upward-facing trough opening 211. The flow guiding trough 21 is used to collect the condensate water.

[0042] The guide channel 21 is square, and the channel wall includes the channel side wall 213 and the channel bottom wall 212.

[0043] Condensate flows into the guide channel 21 and contacts the bottom wall 212. To prevent the condensate from leaking out of the guide channel 21 and coming into contact with electrical components, the side wall 213 of the guide channel acts as a barrier. The side wall 213 and the bottom wall 212 of the guide channel guide the condensate, which flows along the side wall 213 and the bottom wall 212 of the guide channel to a place away from the electrical components. Specifically, in this invention, the condensate flows into the washing machine cabinet 31. The guide channel 21 directs the condensate to the side wall of the washing machine cabinet 31, and the condensate flows into the washing machine cabinet 31 along the side wall, away from the electrical components.

[0044] The guide channel 21 extends circumferentially along the countertop 11, which can increase the guide range and enable the guide channel 21 to guide the condensate to a safer and less accessible place for electrical components;

[0045] The guide outlet 214 is used to discharge the condensate guided by the guide channel 21 from the guide channel 21 to a place away from electrical components. The guide outlet 214 is provided on the channel wall of the guide channel. Specifically, the guide outlet 214 is provided on the side wall 213 or the bottom wall 212 of the guide channel. The position of the guide outlet 214 is only required to discharge the condensate in the guide channel 21 to a place away from electrical components.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the tabletop 11 is square, and the flow channel 21 is provided on the front side wall of the tabletop. The two ends of the flow channel 21 extend close to the left and right ends of the tabletop 11 respectively. At least one end of the flow channel 21 in the extension direction is provided with a flow outlet 214.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, the tabletop 11 is a square tabletop. Specifically, the tabletop 11 is a rectangle or a square. The tabletop 11 includes a front side wall, a rear side wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, a top wall, and a bottom wall.

[0048] Since the circuit board, control panel and other electrical components are mainly located on the front side of the machine, in order to prevent the condensate leaking from the dryer 4 from corroding the above-mentioned electrical components, the guide groove 21 is set on the front side wall of the table.

[0049] The guide channel 21 is strip-shaped and extends on the front side wall of the countertop. The two ends of the guide channel 21 extend close to the left and right ends of the countertop 11, respectively, to guide the condensate water to at least one of the left and right ends of the countertop 11, and then guide the condensate water to at least one of the left and right side walls 311 of the washing machine cabinet 31, so that the condensate water flows into the washing machine cabinet 31 along at least one of the left and right side walls 311 of the washing machine cabinet 31.

[0050] The two ends of the guide channel 21 extend close to the left and right ends of the countertop 11, respectively, and are spaced from the left and right sides of the countertop, respectively. They are also spaced from the left and right sides of the washing machine cabinet 31, respectively, so that the condensate discharged through the guide outlet 214 can flow into the washing machine cabinet 31 along at least one of the left and right sides of the washing machine cabinet 31.

[0051] At least one end of the extension direction of the guide channel 21 is provided with a guide outlet 214, that is, one end of the extension direction of the guide channel 21 is provided with a guide outlet 214 and the other end of the extension direction of the guide channel 21 is provided with a guide outlet 214, or both ends of the extension direction of the guide channel 21 are provided with guide outlets 214. Preferably, both ends of the extension direction of the guide channel 21 are provided with guide outlets 214 to increase the efficiency of the guide channel 21 in guiding condensate away from electrical components and prevent condensate from overflowing from the guide channel 21 and contacting the electrical components under the table 11.

[0052] The flow channel 21 is square and includes a front side wall, a rear side wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, an opening 211, and a bottom wall 212. Specifically, at least one of the left and right side walls is provided with a flow outlet 214.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, further, at least one end of the extension direction of the guide channel 21 is provided with an opening, which serves as the guide outlet 214. Specifically, at least one of the left and right side walls of the channel is an opening, that is, the entire side wall is an opening. The opening serves as the guide outlet 214, which can increase the area of ​​the guide outlet 214, thereby increasing the guide efficiency of the guide channel 21.

[0054] At least one of the left and right sidewalls of the tank is open. Specifically, the left sidewall is open, the right sidewall is open, or both the left and right sidewalls are open.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the guide channel 21 is integrally formed with the platform 11, the front sidewall of the platform protrudes forward to form the bottom wall 212 of the guide channel, and the bottom wall 212 of the guide channel protrudes upward to form the side wall 213 of the guide channel opposite to the front sidewall of the platform.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present invention, the guide channel 21 is integrally formed with the tabletop 11, which increases the connection strength and sealing between the guide channel 21 and the tabletop 11, avoids leakage of condensate at the connection between the guide channel 21 and the tabletop 11, and prevents condensate from flowing downward to the electrical components.

[0057] The front sidewall of the platform extends forward to form the bottom wall 212 of the guide channel. The side of the bottom wall 212 opposite to the front sidewall of the platform extends upward to form the side wall 213 of the guide channel. Specifically, it extends upward to form the front sidewall of the guide channel. The front sidewall of the platform serves as the rear sidewall of the guide channel. The guide channel is integrated on the platform 11, which can reduce the use of materials for making the guide channel 21. There is no connection between the front sidewall and the sidewall of the opening 211, forming the guide outlet 214 and the opening 211 of the guide channel at both ends of the extension direction of the guide channel 21.

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the tabletop 11 includes a square tabletop 111 and a flange formed by bending the outer periphery of the tabletop 111 downwards. The lower edge of the front flange 112 of the tabletop 111 protrudes forward to form the bottom wall 212 of the guide groove.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, the tabletop 11 is grooved, including a table panel 111 in the direction of the direction and a flange formed by bending the outer periphery of the table panel 111 downward. While ensuring that the tabletop 11 has a certain structural strength, the weight of the tabletop 11 is reduced. Furthermore, the groove of the grooved tabletop 11 can hide and store some pipes, lines and components, reducing the space occupied by some pipes and lines in the whole machine.

[0060] The flange includes a front flange 112, a rear flange, a left flange, and a right flange. The lower edge of the front flange 112 protrudes forward to form the bottom wall 212 of the guide channel. The lower edge of the front flange 112 and the bottom wall 212 of the channel transition smoothly, reducing the frictional obstruction of the transition area to the condensate and accelerating the discharge speed of the condensate from the guide outlet 214. The bottom wall 212 of the channel and the front side wall of the channel also transition smoothly.

[0061] In order to accelerate the discharge of condensate from the guide outlets 214 at both ends of the extension direction of the guide channel 21, the bottom wall 212 of the channel is inclined downward at both ends in the center.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the channel sidewall 213 of the guide channel, which is opposite to the front sidewall of the countertop, is inclined forward. The front sidewall of the guide channel can guide the condensate into the channel. The forward inclination of the front sidewall of the guide channel can accelerate the flow of condensate into the channel and prevent condensate from remaining on the front sidewall of the guide channel.

[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the front flange 112 of the tabletop is provided with a through hole 1121 for other components to pass through, and the height of the bottom wall 212 of the guide channel protruding upward is not higher than the lower edge of the through hole 1121.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, a through hole 1121 is provided on the tabletop 11, and the through hole 1121 communicates with the groove of the tabletop 11 for other components to pass through. Other components may pass through the through hole 1121 to enter the groove of the tabletop 11, or other components may pass through the through hole 1121 to exit from the groove of the tabletop 11.

[0065] Other components may be connectors 5, which can be used to connect the tabletop 11 to the dryer 4 in the whole machine, so that the dryer 4 can be stably stacked on the washing machine;

[0066] Specifically, the connector 5 is L-shaped, including a vertical part and a horizontal part. The horizontal part is inserted into the groove of the tabletop 11 through the through hole 1121 from the outside. The vertical part extends upward close to the tabletop 11 and fits against the body 31 of the dryer 4. The height of the bottom wall 212 of the guide channel protruding upward is not higher than the lower edge of the through hole 1121, that is, the height of the front side wall of the guide channel is not higher than the lower edge of the through hole 1121. If the height of the front side wall of the guide channel is higher than the lower edge of the through hole 1121, it is not convenient to place the connector 5 in the guide channel 21 so that the horizontal part enters the groove of the tabletop 11 through the through hole 1121. Furthermore, if the connector 5 is placed in the guide channel 21, it will affect the guide channel 21's flow of condensate.

[0067] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a reinforcing beam 7 extending in the left-right direction is provided on the washing machine body 31. The reinforcing beam 7 is located at the bottom of the tabletop 11. The horizontal part of the connector 5 passes through the through hole 1121 into the tabletop 11. The reinforcing beam 7, the horizontal part and the tabletop 11 are connected by a fastener, which can be a screw.

[0068] The reinforcing beam 7 includes a horizontal portion 71 extending in the left-right direction and bent portions 73 formed by bending downwards at both ends of the horizontal portion 71. The horizontal portion 71 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes 7111 distributed in the left-right direction, and the plurality of first mounting holes 7111 constitute the mounting portion 711. The bent portions 73 are installed on the washing machine cabinet. The tabletop 11 and the reinforcing beam 7 have a direct connection relationship, which improves the stability of the reinforcing beam 7 in supporting the tabletop 11. The front side of the top of the washing machine cabinet 31 is provided with a reinforcing beam 7, which extends in the left-right direction of the tabletop. The reinforcing beam 7 assists in supporting the dryer by cooperating with the tabletop 11, thereby increasing the structural strength of the tabletop 11. Both the reinforcing beam and the tabletop are sheet metal parts.

[0069] One bend 73 is located at the left end of the horizontal portion and connected to the left side of the washing machine cabinet, and another bend 73 is located at the right end of the horizontal portion and connected to the right side of the cabinet. For one bend 73, the bend 73 includes a first bend 731 that bends downward at one end in the extension direction of the horizontal portion and is inclined away from the reinforcing beam, and a second bend 732 that extends horizontally to the side of the first bend away from the horizontal portion, and the second bend 732 is connected to the cabinet.

[0070] A second pressing pattern 72 extending in the left-right direction is provided on the horizontal part 71. The second pressing pattern 72 is formed by a downward indentation from the top of the horizontal part 71, and a plurality of first mounting holes 7111 are provided on the rear side of the second pressing pattern 72.

[0071] The horizontal part 71 has two first mounting holes 7111 at its left and right ends, respectively. The first mounting holes 7111 are used to connect with the horizontal part of the connector and the table 11.

[0072] The horizontal part 71 is provided with a second pressing pattern 72, which can increase the structural strength of the horizontal part 71, thereby increasing the structural strength of the reinforcing beam 7; the second pressing pattern 72 is formed by the top of the horizontal part 71 being recessed downwards, and the second pressing pattern 72 is a groove-shaped pressing pattern.

[0073] Specifically, in order to increase the connection strength between the tabletop 11 and the dryer 4, two through holes 1121 are provided on the front flange 112 of the tabletop 11. The two through holes 1121 are located on the left and right sides of the front flange 112 of the tabletop 11, respectively, and are symmetrically arranged. The two through holes 1121 are located between the two ends of the extension direction of the guide groove 21, and the through holes 1121 are strip-shaped and extend along the left and right direction of the tabletop 11.

[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also provides a washer-dryer combo device, including a washing machine 3 and a dryer 4 stacked together. The top of the washing machine housing 31 is provided with the washing machine table structure 1 provided by the above-mentioned technical solution, and the dryer 4 is stacked on the table 11.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present invention, the washer-dryer combo includes a dryer 4 and a washing machine 3. The dryer 4 is stacked on top of the washing machine, which reduces the space occupied while achieving both drying and washing functions.

[0076] The top of the washing machine cabinet 31 is open, and the table 11 is located on the top of the washing machine cabinet 31. The table 11 is closed and the opening is closed. The guide groove 21 on the front side wall of the table 11 is opposite to the left side wall and right side wall 311 of the washing machine cabinet 31 in the extending direction, so that the condensate discharged from the guide outlet 214 at both ends of the extending direction of the guide groove can flow down along the left side wall and right side wall 311 of the washing machine cabinet 31 into the washing machine cabinet 31.

[0077] like Figure 6As shown, specifically, the top of the front side of the washing machine cabinet 31 is provided with a long strip-shaped notch 312 extending in the left and right direction. The front side of the countertop 11 is flush with the rear side of the long strip-shaped notch 312. An electrical component 313 is installed inside the long strip-shaped notch 312. The electrical component 313 is located below the guide channel, so that the condensate water leaking from the upper dryer can enter the guide channel 21, and the electrical component 313 is prevented from being contacted by the condensate water.

[0078] The washing machine cabinet 31 and the countertop 11 are provided with a long strip-shaped notch 312 for sealing and a front decorative panel 6 on the front side of the countertop. The front side of the washing machine cabinet 31, the front side of the countertop 11 and the front decorative panel 6 form a cavity. The electrical components 313 and the guide channel 21 are both located in the cavity to prevent the condensate water coming out of the guide channel 21 from leaking out and causing easy contact with the electrical components 313. The left and right ends of the guide channel 21 extend to the left and right side walls of the adjacent washing machine cabinet 31, so that the condensate water coming out of the guide channel 21 can flow into the washing machine cabinet 31 along the left and right side walls of the washing machine cabinet 31.

[0079] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way.
