Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of washing machine technology, and more particularly to fastening connectors and washing machines. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, it is often necessary to connect two components using connectors. For example, in the production of washing machines, the washing machine shell needs to be connected and fixed to the cabinet. The existing solution is that the front panel of the washing machine is usually fixed to the cabinet by positioning pins set on the cabinet. During installation, the positioning pins are first aligned with the holes on the front panel, inserted into place, and then force is applied downwards to achieve front-back and vertical positioning of the front panel and the cabinet. However, due to this step, the positioning pins do not have a strong ability to limit the front panel, which can easily cause gaps and collision noises.

[0003] Patent CN108342879B discloses a drum washing machine. It describes adding a snap-fit ​​assembly to the cabinet to connect the control panel to the countertop. This assembly includes a lock body mounted on the countertop and a locking piece that elastically snaps onto the control panel. The end of the locking piece not attached to the control panel elastically engages with the lock hole in the lock body, thus connecting the control panel to the countertop. While this snap-fit ​​assembly is easy to install, it can be difficult to disassemble.

[0004] In view of the problems mentioned above, such as the weak limiting ability of the existing connection structure and the difficulty in disassembling after connection, there is a need for a fastening connector that can solve the above problems. This fastening connector has a strong limiting ability for the installed parts and is easy to disassemble after the installed parts are connected. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the problems existing in the related technologies, this application provides a fastening connector and a washing machine, wherein the fastening connector has a strong limiting ability for the object to be connected and is easy to disassemble after connection.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a fastening connector, comprising a connector body and a fastener, characterized in that:

[0012] In one embodiment, the fastener further includes a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the adapter and connected to the flip-limiting portion;

[0013] The flipping limiting part includes a connected power wall and a resistance wall. When the flipping limiting part is parallel to the length direction of the connecting body, the power wall is located above the positioning connecting part, and the torsion spring is in an unforced and deformed state.

[0014] When the flipping limiting part is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting body, the resistance wall abuts against the mounting part on the fixed connecting part.

[0015] In one embodiment, the positioning connection includes a first positioning groove and a second positioning groove, wherein the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove are distributed along the length direction of the connector body.

[0016] In one embodiment, a limiting hook is provided on the outer side of the first positioning groove, and the limiting hook is used to fix the mounting part placed in the first positioning groove.

[0024] It includes a connector body and a fastener. One end of the connector body is provided with a positioning connection part for positioning the mounting part; the fastener is hinged to the other end of the connector body; the fastener is connected to the connector body via a torsion spring.

[0025] The fastener of this application is connected to the connector body via a torsion spring, allowing the fastener to rotate around the torsion spring. This rotational design facilitates easy installation of the mounting component; by adjusting the rotation angle, the fastener can avoid obstructing the positioning of the mounting component within the positioning connection. When tightening the mounting component, the fastener rotates and presses it down, thus securing and limiting its position. This dual-limiting structure of the positioning connection and the fastener provides strong locking capability. Furthermore, when disassembly is required, the mounting component can be directly removed from the fastening connector.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] In industrial production, it is often necessary to connect two components using connectors. For example, in the production of washing machines, the washing machine shell needs to be connected and fixed to the cabinet. The existing solution is that the front panel of the washing machine is usually fixed to the cabinet by positioning pins set on the cabinet. During installation, the positioning pins are first aligned with the holes on the front panel, inserted into place, and then force is applied downwards to achieve front-back and vertical positioning of the front panel and the cabinet. However, due to this step, the positioning pins do not have a strong ability to limit the front panel, which can easily cause gaps and collision noises.

[0040] Patent CN108342879B discloses a drum washing machine. It describes adding a snap-fit ​​assembly to the cabinet to connect the control panel to the countertop. This assembly includes a lock body mounted on the countertop and a locking piece that elastically snaps onto the control panel. The end of the locking piece not attached to the control panel elastically engages with the lock hole in the lock body, thus connecting the control panel to the countertop. While this snap-fit ​​assembly is easy to install, it can be difficult to disassemble.

[0041] In view of the problems mentioned above, such as the weak limiting ability of the existing connection structure and the difficulty in disassembling after connection, there is a need for a fastening connector that can solve the above problems. This fastening connector has a strong limiting ability for the installed parts and is easy to disassemble after the installed parts are connected.

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connecting fastener shown in the embodiments of this application;

[0044] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another state of the connecting fastener structure shown in the embodiments of this application.

[0045] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0046] The fastening connector according to the embodiments of this application includes a connector body 1 and a fastener 2.

[0047] The connector body 1 includes a positioning connection part 11 for positioning the mounting part; that is, the positioning connection part 11 is used to position the mounting part. Usually there are two mounting parts, but the embodiments of this application are not limited to two mounting parts. Furthermore, the mounting part is provided with a positioning groove or positioning hole that matches the positioning connection part 11.

[0048] The fastening connector includes a connector body 1 and a fastener 2.

[0049] One end of the connector body 1 is provided with a positioning connection part 11 for positioning the mounting part; the fastener 2 is hinged to the other end of the connector body 1; the fastener 2 is connected to the connector body 1 via a torsion spring.

[0050] Furthermore, the fastener 2 includes an adapter 21 and a flip-limiting part 22, the flip-limiting part 22 being rotatably engaged with the connector body 1 via the adapter 21.

[0051] Fastener 2 is provided on connector body 1 so that fastener 2 can fasten the connector after the mounting part is positioned in the positioning connection part 11.

[0052] The front and rear distribution directions of this embodiment are shown in the figure, which are distributed along the length of the connector body 1.

[0053] Furthermore, the fastener 2 includes an adapter portion 21 and a flip-limiting portion 22; the flip-limiting portion 22 is disposed on the adapter portion 21; the adapter portion 21 is connected to the connector body 1; such that the flip-limiting portion 22 is rotatably engaged with the connector body 1 via the adapter portion 21, specifically, the flip-limiting portion 22 can be flipped with the adapter portion 21 as a fulcrum, so as to limit the installation component. This embodiment does not restrict the direction of flipping.

[0054] Furthermore, the torsion spring 23 is sleeved on the adapter 21 and connected to the flipping limit part 22.

[0055] The fastener 2 of this application includes an adapter 21 and a flip-limiting part 22. The flip-limiting part 22 is disposed on the adapter 21. The adapter 21 is connected to the connector body 1. The flip-limiting part 22 can be flipped with the adapter 21 as the fulcrum. The flip-limiting part 22 is configured to be flippable, so that when connecting and installing the mounting part, the flip angle can be adjusted to avoid obstructing the positioning of the mounting part into the positioning connection part 11. The mounting part can be fastened and limited by flipping. The double limiting structure of the positioning connection part 11 and the flip-limiting part 22 fastens and limits the mounting part, which has a strong limiting ability. In addition, when disassembly is required, the mounting part can be directly removed from the fastening connector.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the flipping limiting part 22 flips in a plane perpendicular to the width direction W of the connecting body. When the flipping limiting part 22 is parallel to the length direction of the connecting body (as shown in the figure in this embodiment), the flipping limiting part 22 will not affect the positioning and installation of the mounting part. The mounting part is installed in the positioning connecting part 11 of the connecting body. Then, the flipping limiting part 22 flips until it is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting body 1, thus securing the positioned mounting part. When disassembly is required, the mounting part can be directly removed.

[0057] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application are as follows: The fastening connector of this application includes a connector body and a fastener. One end of the connector body is provided with a positioning connection part for positioning the mounting part; the fastener is hinged to the other end of the connector body; the fastener is connected to the connector body via a torsion spring.

[0058] The fastener includes an adapter and a flip-limiting part, which rotates and engages with the main body of the connector via the adapter.

[0059] The fastener of this application includes an adapter and a flip-limiting part; the flip-limiting part is disposed on the adapter; the adapter is connected to the connector body; the flip-limiting part can be flipped with the adapter as a fulcrum. The flip-limiting part is designed to be flippable, which facilitates the connection and installation of the mounting component. By adjusting the flip angle, it avoids obstructing the positioning of the mounting component into the positioning connection part, and the flipping action securely limits the mounting component. The dual structure of the positioning connection part and the flip-limiting part provides strong securing capability for the mounting component. Furthermore, when disassembly is required, the mounting component can be directly removed from the fastening connector. In summary, the fastening connector of this application not only has strong securing capability but also facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] The fastening connectors described in the above embodiments not only have strong limiting capabilities but are also easy to install and disassemble. This application further invents and designs to enhance their limiting capabilities. The fastening connectors in this application include the structural features of Embodiment 1 described above.

[0062] Figure 3 This is a top view of the connecting fasteners shown in the embodiments of this application;

[0063] Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the connecting fastener shown in the embodiments of this application;

[0064] Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the connecting fastener shown in the embodiments of this application.

[0065] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 .

[0066] The fastening connector in this embodiment includes a connector body 1 and a fastener 2.

[0067] The connector body 1 includes a positioning connection part 11 for positioning the mounting part; the fastener 2 is provided on the connector body 1. For example, the fastener 2 includes a transition part 21 and a flip-limiting part 22; the flip-limiting part 22 is provided on the transition part 21; the transition part 21 is connected to the connector body 1; the flip-limiting part 22 can be flipped with the transition part 21 as a fulcrum.

[0068] Furthermore, the structure of the adapter 21 in this embodiment can be configured as a connecting shaft or a connecting frame. If the adapter 21 is a connecting shaft, the connecting shaft is disposed transversely through the connecting body; for example, the connecting body is provided with a connecting shaft through hole, and the connecting shaft passes through the connecting shaft through hole.

[0069] The flipping limit part 22 is provided at least one end of the connecting shaft; that is, the flipping limit part 22 can be provided at one end or both ends of the connecting shaft.

[0070] If the adapter 21 is a connecting frame, the connecting frame is disposed on the outer periphery of the connecting body, and the flip-limiting part 22 is disposed at at least one end of the connecting frame. For example, the connecting frame in this embodiment can be a cross-shaped connecting frame or a T-shaped connecting frame, the flip-limiting part 22 is disposed on the horizontal support of the connecting frame, and the vertical support of the connecting frame is connected to the connecting body 1.

[0071] The torsion spring 23 is sleeved on the adapter 21 and connected to the flipping limiting part 22; specifically, the torsion spring 23 is sleeved on the connecting shaft or the connecting frame and connected to the flipping limiting part 22.

[0072] The flip-limiting part 22 includes a connected power wall 221 and a resistance wall 222. When the flip-limiting part 22 is parallel to the length direction of the connector body 1, the power wall 221 is located above the positioning connection part 11, and the torsion spring 23 is in an unforced and deformed state. When the flip-limiting part 22 is perpendicular to the length direction of the connector body 1, the resistance wall abuts against the mounting part on the positioning connection part.

[0073] Following the directional limitation of Embodiment 1 described above, before the mounting component is inserted into the fastening connector, the flipping limiting part 22 includes a dynamic wall 221 and a resistance wall 222. When the flipping limiting part 22 is parallel to the length direction of the connector body 1, the torsion spring 23 connected to the flipping limiting part 22 is in an unforced and undeformed state. Since the dynamic wall 221 of the flipping limiting part 22 is located above the positioning connector 11, when the mounting component is inserted into the positioning connector 11, it will encounter the dynamic wall 221 of the flipping limiting part 22. During the encounter, since the flipping limiting part 22 can flip, this... When the dynamic wall 221 flips counterclockwise downwards to make room, the torsion spring 23 is deformed under force during the making room process. The resistance wall 222 of the flipping limit part 22 is rotated counterclockwise by the force of the torsion spring 23 under the deformed state until the flipping limit part 22 flips to be perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting body 1. At this time, the mounting part is assembled in place, and the flipping limit part 22 is in close contact with the mounting part, thereby achieving the limiting function. Specifically, it plays the role of constraining the front and rear position of the mounting part. When the mounting part is removed, the flipping limit part 22 returns to the horizontal state under the action of the torsion spring 23, and the disassembly of the mounting part is completed.

[0074] The beneficial effects of this application embodiment are as follows: This application embodiment sets up a torsion spring, which is connected to the flipping limiting part; when the flipping limiting part is parallel to the length direction of the connecting part body, the power wall of the flipping limiting part is located above the positioning connecting part, and the torsion spring is in an unforced and deformed state. Through the structural properties of the torsion spring, the limiting effect of the mounting part can be automatically completed during the installation process. The operation is convenient and the limiting ability is strong. In addition, the disassembly process is also very convenient. The mounting part can be directly disassembled. It is easy to operate and does not require other auxiliary tools or complicated operations.

[0075] Example 3

[0076] As mentioned in Embodiment 1 above, the connector body 1 includes a positioning connecting part 11 for positioning the mounting part; that is, the positioning connecting part 11 is used to position the mounting part. Typically, there are two mounting parts, but this embodiment is not limited to two mounting parts. Accordingly, this embodiment configures the positioning connecting part 11 to include a first positioning groove 111 and a second positioning groove 112. The first positioning groove 111 is used to position the first mounting part, and the second positioning groove 112 is used to position the second mounting part.

[0077] The fastening connector of this application includes the structural features of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 described above. In addition, the fastening connector of this application further defines a first positioning groove 111 and a second positioning groove 112. The first positioning groove 111 and the second positioning groove 112 are distributed along the length direction of the connector body 1.

[0078] A limiting hook 4 is provided on the outer side of the first positioning groove 111. The limiting hook 4 is used to fix the first mounting part placed in the first positioning groove 111, so that the first mounting part cannot move arbitrarily after being positioned and installed in the first positioning groove 111, which would affect the subsequent connection and installation.

[0079] Furthermore, the limiting hook 4 includes a hook arm and a hook head, and the hook arm is a telescopic hook arm.

[0080] The distance H between the first positioning groove 111 and the second positioning groove 112 is less than or equal to a preset value A. For example, the distance between the first positioning groove 111 and the second positioning groove 112 is equal to the preset value A. The preset value A is not limited in this embodiment and should be set according to the connection and installation requirements of the mounting components, i.e., the gap requirements after the first and second mounting components are connected and installed.

[0081] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the flip-limiting part 22 is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting body 1, the rear edge of the flip-limiting part 22 is on the same straight line as the front groove wall of the second positioning groove 112, or the rear edge of the flip-limiting part 22 is located behind the front groove wall of the second positioning groove 112. This setting requires limiting the size of the flip-limiting part 22, which ensures that after the second mounting part is positioned and installed in the second positioning groove 112, the flip-limiting part 22 can abut against the mounting part, thereby playing a better limiting role and preventing the mounting part from moving back and forth.

[0082] Furthermore, the dimensions of the first positioning groove 111 and the second positioning groove 112 along the length of the connecting body should be set according to the first mounting member and the second mounting member, respectively. The purpose is to ensure that the first mounting member can be precisely inserted into the first positioning groove 111 without any gaps, so that it cannot move back and forth, and the second mounting member can be precisely inserted into the second positioning groove 112 without any gaps, so that it cannot move back and forth.

[0083] The beneficial effects of this application embodiment are: by providing a limit hook on the outside of the first positioning groove, the first mounting part cannot be moved arbitrarily after being positioned and installed in the first positioning groove, thus affecting the subsequent connection and installation.

[0084] By setting the flip-limiting part to be perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting body 1, the rear edge of the flip-limiting part is on the same straight line as the front groove wall of the second positioning groove, so that the flip-limiting part can better play the limiting role.

[0085] Example 4

[0086] In addition to the fastening connectors mentioned above, this application embodiment provides a washing machine that includes the fastening connectors mentioned in the above embodiments. For example, the washing machine's casing and front panel are connected and installed using the fastening connectors mentioned in the above embodiments. The derivation process of its beneficial effects is the same as in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here. For example, both the washing machine's casing and front panel are provided with positioning grooves or holes for the fastening connectors, allowing the washing machine's casing and front panel to be engaged with the fastening connectors mentioned in the above embodiments.

[0087] For example, the fastening connector is fixed to the positioning hole of the housing through the first positioning groove 111 of the fastening connector, and then positioned and connected to the positioning hole of the front panel shell through the second positioning groove 112 of the fastening connector. When the front panel shell is inserted downward into the second positioning groove 112, since the power arm 221 of the flip-limiting part 22 extends above the positioning connection part 11, when the front panel shell is installed into the positioning connection part 11, it will meet the power wall 221 of the flip-limiting part 22 located above the positioning connection part 11. During the meeting process, due to the flip-limiting part 22, the power wall 221 of the flip-limiting part 22 is located above the positioning connection part 11. The positioning part 22 can be flipped. At this time, the power wall 221 will flip counterclockwise downward to make room. During the rooming process, the torsion spring 23 is deformed by force. The flipping limiting part 22 is rotated counterclockwise by the elastic force of the torsion spring 23 until the flipping limiting part 22 flips to be perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting body 1. The front shell of the panel is then assembled in place. At this time, the flipping limiting part 22, which is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting body 1, plays the role of constraining the front and rear positions of the front shell of the panel. When the front shell of the panel is removed, the flipping limiting part 22 returns to a horizontal state under the action of the torsion spring 23.

[0088] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
