AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the existing washing machine is running, the top cover is not stably supported and is prone to shaking, resulting in loud noise. In addition, the gap between the top cover and the control panel is difficult to effectively cover.

Method used

The upper surface of the control panel is designed with two rings of support surfaces at different heights. By setting protrusions and recesses, the top cover is stably supported. A protrusion and guide slope that are higher than the top surface are set on the outer periphery to cover the gaps.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the stability of the top cover installation, reduces the noise of the washing machine, and effectively covers the gap between the control panel and the top cover, thus improving the stability and aesthetics of the washing machine.

Abstract

The application provides a control disc seat and a washing machine. The control disc seat comprises a ring-shaped body with a laundry feeding opening penetrating from top to bottom in the center; the upper surface of the body comprises two support surfaces at different heights, at least one of which is used for supporting an upper cover above the control disc seat; the first support surface is lower than the second support surface, and the first support surface and the second support surface are located in regions with different distances from the center of the body. Through the above arrangement, the upper surface of the control disc seat is provided with two rings of support surfaces at different heights, so that different regions of the upper cover installed on the control disc seat can be supported separately, thereby significantly improving the stability of the control disc seat to the upper cover, reducing the vibration of the upper cover supported above the control disc seat during the operation of the washing machine, and greatly reducing the operation noise of the washing machine.
