[0061] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connected," "in contact," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0062] The door structure of a pulsator washing machine adopts a top cover design, and there is a display box on the top cover for displaying washing data. In order to prevent water vapor or water from penetrating into the display box, sealant is generally used to seal the display box and the top cover, and two or even more parts are used to seal different parts of the display box. The sealing process is complicated and once sealed, the display box is difficult to disassemble and repair.

[0063] Based on this, the following embodiments are proposed:

[0064] Example 1

[0065] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a display box assembly for a clothing processing device, the display box assembly includes a display box 1, the top surface of the display box 1 is provided with an upper opening 101, and the side surface is provided with a threading hole 102, the display box assembly further includes: a sealing member, the sealing member is an elastic member, and is integrally formed with a first sealing portion 2 and a second sealing portion 3, wherein:

[0066] The first sealing portion 2 is provided at the upper opening 101 to seal the upper opening 101;

[0067] The second sealing portion 3 is provided at the threading hole 102 to seal the threading hole 102;

[0068] The first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 are configured to simultaneously seal the upper opening 101 and the threading hole 102 when the sealing member is sealed and matched with the display box 1 .

[0069] In this embodiment, the seal is an integrated seal. When assembled on the display box 1, the first sealing portion 2 is sealed at the upper opening 101, and the second sealing portion 3 is sealed at the threading hole 102. The assembly is convenient and the assembly operation is greatly simplified. Compared with the traditional multi-part seal that seals the upper opening 101 and the threading hole 102 respectively, the integrated seal has fewer parts, further simplifies the installation process of the seal, and can reduce material costs to a certain extent. The one-piece seal simplifies the installation process and reduces the assembly steps. It is only necessary to place the one-piece seal at the position corresponding to the sealing and then fix it. There is no need to install multiple independent components one by one. Since the seal is a whole, there is no need to frequently adjust the positions of each component during the installation process, which reduces the debugging time.

[0070] The first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 can be elastic rubber parts with elastic deformation function, which are sealed at the upper opening 101 and the threading hole 102 respectively through extrusion deformation. Compared with the conventional gluing treatment commonly used on the top of the display box, the first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 can be separated from the display box 1 under the action of an external force, which facilitates the opening and internal maintenance of the display box 1; the first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 only need to be assembled to the predetermined position of the display box 1 by extrusion. Compared with gluing sealing, the implementation is simpler and no glue marks are left.

[0071] This seal is used to seal the display box, which is installed on the upper cover of the washing machine. When the seal is used to seal the display box installed on the upper cover of the washing machine, the speed increases when the washing machine is dehydrating, which may cause shaking. The first sealing part 2 is sealed in the form of a sealing ring between the opening 101 on the display box and the glass observation window of the upper cover of the washing machine, which can form a buffer between the glass observation window and the display box 1, reducing the impact on the glass observation window, display box 1 and other components caused by the shaking of the washing machine body.

[0072] Compared with two separate sealing parts, the two sealing parts formed in one piece of the seal are not easily displaced by the vibration generated when the washing machine is running. However, by forming the seal into two sealing parts in one piece, the two sealing parts have the effect of anchoring each other, which can maintain the overall stability of the seal and avoid local sealing failure.

[0073] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 1-3 As shown,

[0074] The first sealing portion 2 is formed with a sealing ring, and the sealing ring is provided with an annular groove 201 . When the sealing ring is arranged around the upper opening 101 , the upper opening of the annular groove faces upward.

[0075] The first sealing portion 2 is constructed as a sealing ring. When the first sealing portion 2 is assembled on the upper opening 101 , the annular groove 201 can be deformed when subjected to pressure from the sealed surface to increase the contact area between the annular groove 201 and the sealed surface.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first sealing portion 2 is sealed around the upper opening 101, and the upper opening 101 can be fully sealed. An annular groove 201 is formed on the side of the first sealing portion 2 away from the upper opening 101, that is, the cross-section of the sealing ring is set to a concave shape. This design makes it easy for the upper end of the sealing ring to deform. When the first sealing portion 2 is assembled on the top cover of the pulsator washing machine, the annular groove 201 is in contact with the observation window 11 in the top cover, which not only has a good sealing effect on the upper opening 101 of the display box 1, but also has a buffering effect between the observation window 11 and the display box 1, thereby reducing the impact on the observation window 11 and the display box 1.

[0077] The observation window 11 can be made of glass or resin, and the user can view the light of the display box 1 through the glass observation window. In this embodiment, a seal is formed between the display box 1 and the glass observation window by the first sealing portion 2 in the form of a sealing ring. This can prevent the display box 1 from being installed on the top cover. The uneven upper surface of the display box 1 and the installation error of the glass observation window may cause a gap between the display box 1 and the glass observation window, which may cause moisture to enter the interior of the display box 1 and cause electrical failure.

[0078] The sealing ring is installed in the annular groove at the upper opening 101 of the display box 1. The height of the sealing ring is higher than the cover of the annular groove, and the sealing ring at least partially protrudes from the upper surface of the display box 1. The glass observation window is adhered to the door cover 10 with double-sided tape. The sealing ring is pressed downward by its own gravity and adhesive force, causing deformation. The deformation of the sealing ring is 0.8mm. The cross-section of the sealing ring is concave, which can increase stress concentration on the contact surface of the sealing ring and promote deformation of the contact surface. When the washing machine is dehydrating, the speed increases, which may cause vibration. The sealing ring provides a buffer between the glass observation window and the display box 1, reducing the impact caused by the vibration of the machine body on the glass observation window, the display box 1, and other components.

[0079] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment,

[0080] A concave cavity 104 is formed on the side of the display box, and the threading hole 102 is connected to the concave cavity 104;

[0081] The second sealing portion 3 is formed with a sealing block 301, which is embedded in the cavity 104 and tightly fitted with the wall of the cavity 104;

[0082] The sealing block 301 is provided with an elastic self-locking hole, which is connected to the threading hole 102. The elastic self-locking hole is configured to: compress the threading hole 102 when there is threading, and elastically close the threading hole 102 when there is no threading.

[0083] In this embodiment, the elastic self-locking thread hole can be an elastic self-locking thread hole with an elastic sheet structure, and the spring sheet has a cross hole or a 'P' hole structure. When threading the threading hole 102, the thread passes through the cross hole or the 'P' hole that passes through the elastic self-locking thread hole. The elastic sheet on the elastic self-locking thread hole has a pressing effect on the threading. When no thread is passed, the elastic sheet elastically closes the threading hole 102, thereby making the display box more dustproof or waterproof.

[0084] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 1 、 2 ,4,

[0085] A concave cavity 104 is formed on the side of the display box, and the threading hole 102 is connected to the concave cavity 104;

[0086] The second sealing portion 3 is formed with a sealing block 301, which is embedded in the cavity 104 and tightly fitted with the wall of the cavity 104;

[0087] A first limiting hole 105 communicating with the concave cavity 104 is formed on the side wall of the concave cavity 104, and a second limiting hole 302 is formed on the sealing block 301. The second limiting hole 302 cooperates with the first limiting hole 105 to compress the threading hole 102, thereby forming a seal between the first limiting hole 105 and the second limiting hole 302.

[0088] The first limiting hole 105 and the second limiting hole 302 are both constructed as a half-hole structure, and the two half-hole structures squeeze the threading to form a seal between the two half-hole structures.

[0089] In this embodiment, an embedded cavity, i.e., a concave cavity 104, is provided at the threading hole 102 of the display box 1. The sealing block 301 is an elastic rubber seat. A second limiting hole 302 is provided on the sealing block 301. It can be understood that the sealing block 301 as a whole is an embedded seat of a rubber ring, which is interference-fitted with the embedded cavity to form a seal. Conventional display box wiring holes are sealed with waterproof joints or glue, which is complicated to operate and affects the appearance of the product. In this embodiment, the sealing block 301 is directly inserted into the embedded cavity to compress the wire to form a seal, which is easy to operate and does not affect the appearance of the product.

[0090] By setting an embedding cavity inside the display box and inserting the rubber ring's embedding seat into the embedding cavity, the second limiting hole 302 can be a circular hole with an open side. It and the U-shaped hole of the embedding cavity can deform when in contact with the wire, which can ensure good sealing and easy disassembly and assembly.

[0091] The wire is carried by the display panel 5 inside the display box 1. The wire passes through the embedded cavity in the display box 1 and the side wire hole 102 to connect to the external power supply. The embedded seat is inserted into the embedded cavity of the display box 1. The inner diameter of the circular hole and the U-shaped hole are both smaller than the outer diameter of the wire. The inner diameter of the circular hole and the outer diameter of the wire can be the same, such as 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, etc. The distance between the top of the circular hole and the bottom of the U-shaped hole is L. Figure 9-11 As shown, L is 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the circular hole diameter, allowing the vertical deformation of the wire to be reduced to 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of its own diameter, thereby firmly securing the wire. Its lateral deformation creates an interference fit with the circular and U-shaped holes, enhancing sealing. The glass observation window, through its own gravity and adhesive forces, presses the insert firmly against the socket. The socket, in conjunction with the embedded cavity, compresses the wires of the display panel 5, preventing them from loosening and the ingress of surrounding moisture. The top of the display box 1 forms a seal with the glass observation window through a sealing ring. The circular and U-shaped holes in the display box 1 form a seal with the wires, further sealing the wire threading holes 102 on the side of the display box 1.

[0092] In this embodiment, the display box 1 is sealed by an integrated first sealing portion 2 and second sealing portion 3. The insert is inserted into the insert cavity. After the wire is compressed, the sealing ring is sequentially inserted into the annular groove above the display box 1. Compared with glue sealing, the implementation is simpler while ensuring the sealing performance. At the same time, it can be disassembled without leaving glue marks. Compared with sealing with multiple parts, it can simplify the installation process and reduce material costs.

[0093] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 2 、 4 As shown,

[0094] A rib 303 is provided on the outer wall of the sealing block 301. When the second sealing part 3 is assembled in the threading hole 102, the rib 303 is embedded in the concave cavity 104. The rib 303 is configured to be able to deform when subjected to pressure from the inner wall of the concave cavity 104 to increase the contact area between the rib 303 and the inner wall of the concave cavity 104.

[0095] In this embodiment, the sealing block 301, i.e., the insert, is provided with a plurality of strip convex ribs 303. The strip convex ribs 303 will deform when subjected to force, thereby increasing the contact area and friction between the insert and the insert cavity, and improving the firmness of the insert installation. Compared with the case where no strip convex ribs 303 are provided on the surface of the insert, a certain degree of gap will be left between the side surface of the insert and the side surface of the insert cavity, and there will be no interference. The significance of providing the strip convex ribs 303 is to form an interference between the side surface of the insert and the side surface of the insert cavity. When the strip convex ribs 303 are squeezed, a certain degree of elastic deformation will occur, so that its shape is more in line with the inner wall of the insert cavity, increasing the number of actual contact points between the ribs 303 and the inner wall, and thereby increasing the total contact area. As the contact area increases, the friction will also increase accordingly.

[0096] like Figure 12 As shown, preferably, a guide structure 3011 is formed at the end of the sealing block 301, and the guide structure 3011 has a V-shaped guide opening. During the wire assembly process, the wire passes through the large opening end of the V-shaped guide opening, moves to the small opening end of the V-shaped guide opening, and is pressed into the second limiting hole 302 through the small opening end of the V-shaped guide opening. When the sealing block 301 is embedded in the concave cavity 104, the two sides of the V-shaped guide opening are squeezed by the side walls of the concave cavity 104, thereby relatively sealing, further improving the sealing between the sealing block 301, the concave cavity 104, and the wire.

[0097] like Figure 13-15 As shown, preferably, a first chamfered portion 3012 is formed at the end of the sealing block 301, and a second chamfered portion 1041 is formed inside the concave cavity 104, the angle between the inclined surface of the first chamfered portion 3012 and the horizontal plane is α, and the angle between the inclined surface of the second chamfered portion 1041 and the horizontal plane is β, wherein α≤β, the wire is inserted into the second limiting hole 302 from the gap of the second limiting hole 302, and when the sealing block 301 is embedded in the concave cavity 104, the first chamfered portion 3012 is squeezed by the second chamfered portion 1041, so that the gap in the second limiting hole 302 is completely closed, thereby further improving the sealing between the sealing block 301, the concave cavity 104, and the wire.

[0098] like Figure 13 、 16As shown in Figures 17 and 18, preferably, the end of the sealing block 301 is connected to one end of the cantilever 3013, and the other end of the cantilever 3013 is provided with a plug 3014. The end of the sealing block 301 is provided with a slot 3015, and the plug 3014 is engaged with the slot 3015. During the wire assembly process, the wire is squeezed into the second limiting hole 302 through the gap in the second limiting hole 302. The provision of the cantilever 3013 can seal the gap in the second limiting hole 302. Furthermore, through the engagement of the plug 3014 with the slot 3015, the sealing block 301 is sealed and wrapped around the wire, which facilitates installation and further improves the sealing between the sealing block 301, the cavity 104, and the wire.

[0099] Furthermore, the cantilever 3013 may also be fastened to the gap of the second limiting hole 302 in other ways. For example, a detachable connection structure is provided in the middle of the cantilever 3013 , and both ends are respectively connected to the two ends of the sealing frame 301 .

[0100] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 1 、 6 As shown, a sealing member 304 is provided on the sealing block 301 . When the sealing block 301 is assembled in the concave cavity 104 , the sealing member 304 is sealed at the assembly opening of the concave cavity 104 .

[0101] In this embodiment, the setting of the closing piece 304 can not only close the assembly opening of the cavity 104, but also, during the process of inserting the sealing block 301 into the assembly cavity of the cavity 104, the closing piece 304 serves as a stop for the deeper assembly, making the assembly operation of the sealing block 301 more convenient.

[0102] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment,

[0103] The sealing member is further integrally formed with a connecting arm connecting the first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 between the first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3;

[0104] The connecting arm is a flexible arm.

[0105] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the connecting arm allows greater freedom between the first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3, which facilitates installation of the first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 at different sealing positions on the display box to fully seal the display box.

[0106] In this embodiment, when the seal is assembled on the display box 1, the first sealing portion 2 is sealed at the upper opening 101, and the second sealing portion 3 is sealed at the threading hole 102, which facilitates assembly and greatly simplifies the assembly operation. Compared with the traditional multi-part seal that seals the upper opening 101 and the threading hole 102 separately, the one-piece seal has fewer parts, further simplifies the installation process of the seal, and can reduce material costs to a certain extent.

[0107] The first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 can be elastic rubber parts with elastic deformation function, which are sealed at the upper opening 101 and the threading hole 102 respectively through extrusion deformation. Compared with the conventional gluing treatment commonly used on the top of the display box, the first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 can be separated from the display box 1 under the action of an external force, which facilitates the opening and internal maintenance of the display box 1; the first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 only need to be assembled to the predetermined position of the display box 1 by extrusion. Compared with gluing sealing, the implementation is simpler and no glue marks are left.

[0108] Further, such as Figure 4 、 5 As shown, the display box 1 is provided with a limiting structure along the circumference of the upper opening 101;

[0109] The limiting structure includes a receiving groove 103 and a plurality of limiting rib groups;

[0110] The accommodating groove 103 is used to accommodate the first sealing portion 2. The plurality of limiting rib groups include a first limiting rib 121 and a second limiting rib 122. The first limiting rib 121 and the second limiting rib 122 form a clamping groove 123.

[0111] The first sealing portion 2 is located in the receiving groove 103 and is limited by the locking groove 123 . At least a portion of the first sealing portion 2 protrudes upward from the receiving groove 103 and the locking groove 123 .

[0112] In this embodiment, a limiting rib group is composed of a first limiting rib 121 and a second limiting rib 122. The first limiting rib 121 and the second limiting rib 122 are symmetrically arranged. A clamping groove 123 is formed between the symmetrical first limiting rib 121 and the second limiting rib 122. There are multiple clamping grooves 123 in the accommodating groove 103, which can more stably fasten the first sealing part 2.

[0113] Among them, the width of the card groove 123 is smaller than the width of the first sealing part 2, so that the card groove 123 can perform interference tightening on the first sealing part 2. The upper opening of the upper end of the card groove 123 is the large end, and the lower opening is the small end, that is, the upper opening is larger than the lower opening. The large end of the card groove 123 and the first sealing part 2, that is, the single-sided interference amount of the sealing ring is 0.15mm, and the small end of the card groove 123 and the single-sided interference amount of the sealing ring is 0.3mm. The card groove 123 has a trend of gradually shrinking from top to bottom, so that the first sealing part 2 is easy to assemble and can be effectively tightened.

[0114] The annular groove 201 at least partially protrudes from the card slot 123. When the first sealing portion 2 is assembled on the top cover of the pulsator washing machine, the annular groove 201 is in contact with the observation window 11 in the top cover, causing the annular groove 201 to deform, which not only provides a good sealing effect on the upper opening 101 of the display box 1, but also has a buffering effect between the observation window 11 and the display box 1, reducing the impact on the observation window 11 and the display box 1.

[0115] Furthermore, Figure 1 、 2 As shown in , 4 , a concave cavity 104 is provided in the display box 1 at the threading hole 102. The concave cavity 104 forms an assembly cavity for assembling the sealing block 301. A first limiting hole 105 communicating with the assembly cavity is provided on the side wall of the concave cavity 104. The first limiting hole 105 is used to cooperate with the second limiting hole 302 to squeeze the wire passing through the threading hole 102 to form a seal between the second limiting hole 302 and the first limiting hole 105.

[0116] The second limiting hole 302 and the first limiting hole 105 are both constructed as half-hole structures, and the two half-hole structures squeeze the wire to form a seal between the two half-hole structures.

[0117] In this embodiment, an embedding cavity is provided at the threading hole 102 of the display box 1, and the sealing block 301 is an elastic rubber seat. A second limiting hole 302 is provided on the sealing block 301. It can be understood that the sealing block 301 as a whole is an embedding seat of a rubber ring, which is interference-fitted with the embedding cavity to form a seal. Conventional display box wiring holes are sealed with waterproof joints or glue, which is complicated to operate and affects the appearance of the product. In this embodiment, the sealing block 301 is directly inserted into the embedding cavity to compress the wire to form a seal, which is easy to operate and does not affect the appearance of the product.

[0118] By setting an embedding cavity on the inner side of the display box and inserting the embedding seat of the rubber ring into the embedding cavity, the second limiting hole 302 can be a circular hole with an opening on one side, and the first limiting hole 105 is a U-shaped hole. The circular hole and the U-shaped hole are deformed when in contact with the wire, which can ensure good sealing and easy disassembly and assembly.

[0119] The wire is carried by the display panel 5 inside the display box 1. The wire passes through the embedded cavity in the display box 1 and the side wire hole 102 to connect to the external power supply. The embedded seat is inserted into the embedded cavity of the display box 1. The inner diameter of the circular hole and the U-shaped hole are both smaller than the outer diameter of the wire. The inner diameter of the circular hole and the outer diameter of the wire can be the same, such as 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, etc. The distance between the top of the circular hole and the bottom of the U-shaped hole is L. Figure 9-11As shown, L is 2 / 3 to 4 / 5 of the circular hole diameter, allowing the vertical deformation of the wire to be reduced to 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 of its own diameter, thereby firmly securing the wire. Its lateral deformation creates an interference fit with the circular and U-shaped holes, enhancing sealing. The glass observation window, through its own gravity and adhesive forces, presses the insert firmly against the socket. The socket, in conjunction with the embedded cavity, compresses the wires of the display panel 5, preventing them from loosening and the ingress of surrounding moisture. The top of the display box 1 forms a seal with the glass observation window through a sealing ring. The circular and U-shaped holes in the display box 1 form a seal with the wires, further sealing the wire threading holes 102 on the side of the display box 1.

[0120] In this embodiment, the display box 1 is sealed by an integrated first sealing portion 2 and second sealing portion 3. The insert is inserted into the insert cavity. After the wire is compressed, the sealing ring is sequentially inserted into the annular groove above the display box 1. Compared with glue sealing, the implementation is simpler while ensuring the sealing performance. At the same time, it can be disassembled without leaving glue marks. Compared with sealing with multiple parts, it can simplify the installation process and reduce material costs.

[0121] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown,

[0122] The display box assembly also includes:

[0123] A display frame 4 and a display panel 5, wherein the display panel 5 is mounted on the display frame 4, and the display frame 4 is disposed in the display box 1, with the display surface of the display panel 5 facing the upper opening 101, and the wires of the display panel 5 are disposed through the threading holes 102;

[0124] A limiting member 6 and a clamping member 7 are provided in the display box 1;

[0125] The side of the limiting member 6 close to the display frame 4 has a slope guide surface 601, which guides and constrains the display frame 4 during the process of being placed into the display box 1 through the upper opening 101;

[0126] When the display frame 4 is placed into the display box 1 through the upper opening 101 , the clamping member 7 is deformed and clamps the display frame 4 .

[0127] In this embodiment, the limiting member 6 can be constructed as a limiting rib structure, and the clip 7 can be constructed as a buckle structure. The display frame 4 is installed in the display box 1 as follows: when the display frame 4 is placed from top to bottom in the display box 1, the sloped guide surface 601 on one side of the limiting rib 6 has a certain slope, which can guide and constrain the side of the display frame 4. The buckle is stretched and deformed by the step on the display frame 4, buckling the display frame 4, thereby fixing the display frame 4 and preventing the display frame 4 from shaking.

[0128] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown,

[0129] A first pre-positioning member 8 and a first positioning member 9 are provided on the outer side wall of the display box 1;

[0130] The first pre-positioning member 8 is used to pre-position the display box 1 with the mounting surface, and the first positioning member 9 is used to position the display box 1 with the mounting surface.

[0131] In this embodiment, the first pre-positioning member 8 can be a building block, and the first positioning member 9 can be an ear seat with a screw hole. The display box 1 is installed on the door cover 10 in the following way: first, the first pre-positioning member 8, that is, the two building blocks are placed on the door cover 10 for pre-positioning. At this time, the first positioning member 9, that is, the ear seat corresponds to the screw column fixed on the door cover 10. The display box 1 can be fixed on the door cover 10 by tightening the screws into the ear seat and the screw column. When the display box 1 needs to be disassembled, the screws can be loosened.

[0132] Example 2

[0133] like Figure 1 、 6 As shown in FIG. 8 , this embodiment provides a door cover assembly, including:

[0134] The door cover 10 has a mounting opening 1001 formed thereon;

[0135] The display box assembly in the second embodiment is installed in the installation opening 1001;

[0136] The observation window 11 is sealed with the door cover 10 , and a side wall of the observation window 11 close to the display box assembly is in close contact with the first sealing portion 2 .

[0137] In this embodiment, the display box 1 is installed at the installation opening 1001. When the seal is assembled on the display box 1, the first sealing portion 2 is sealed at the upper opening 101, and the second sealing portion 3 is sealed at the threading hole 102. This facilitates assembly and greatly simplifies the assembly operation. In addition, the one-piece seal is used to seal the upper opening 101 and the threading hole 102 separately, which reduces the number of parts and further simplifies the installation process of the seal and can reduce material costs to a certain extent. The first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 are respectively sealed at the upper opening 101 and the threading hole 102 by extrusion deformation. Compared with the conventional glue coating treatment commonly used on the top of the display box, the first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 can be separated from the display box 1 under the action of an external force, making it easier to open the display box 1 and to perform internal maintenance. The first sealing portion 2 and the second sealing portion 3 only need to be assembled to the predetermined position of the display box 1 by extrusion. Compared with glue sealing, the implementation is simpler and no glue marks are left. The side wall of the observation window 11 close to the display box assembly is in contact with the first sealing part 2, which promotes the deformation of the first sealing part 2. When the washing machine is dehydrating, the speed increases, which may cause shaking. The sealing ring can form a buffer between the glass observation window and the display box 1, reducing the impact on the glass observation window, display box 1 and other components caused by the shaking of the machine body.

[0138] Furthermore, a second pre-positioning member 1002 and a second positioning member 1003 are provided at the installation opening 1001 . The second pre-positioning member 1002 is used to pre-position the display box 1 , and the second positioning member 1003 is used to position the display box 1 .

[0139] The second pre-positioning member 1002 can be a groove structure that is compatible with the first pre-positioning member 8, and the second positioning member 1003 can be a screw column. The display box 1 is installed on the door cover 10 by first using the first pre-positioning member 8, that is, the two blocks are placed in the groove for pre-positioning. At this time, the first positioning member 9, that is, the ear seat corresponds to the screw column fixed on the door cover 10. Tightening the screws into the ear seat and the screw column can achieve the fixation of the display box 1 on the door cover 10. When the display box 1 needs to be disassembled, just loosen the screws.

[0140] Example 3

[0141] A clothes processing device, comprising:

[0142] The display box assembly in embodiment 2, or the door cover assembly in embodiment 3.

[0143] Since the clothes processing device includes the display box assembly or the door cover assembly of the second embodiment, the clothes processing device has all the beneficial effects of the display box assembly of the second embodiment or the door cover assembly of the third embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0144] In summary, the ingenious design of the display box assembly lies in:

[0145] First, the seal in the display box assembly is an integrated seal. When assembled on the display box, the first sealing part seals at the upper opening, and the second sealing part seals at the threading hole. The assembly is convenient and the assembly operation is greatly simplified. Compared with the traditional multi-part seal that seals the upper opening and the threading hole separately, the integrated seal has fewer parts, further simplifies the installation process of the seal, and can reduce material costs to a certain extent.

[0146] The first sealing portion and the second sealing portion can be elastic rubber parts with elastic deformation function, which are sealed at the upper opening and the threading hole respectively through extrusion deformation. Compared with the conventional gluing treatment commonly used on the top of the display box, the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion can be separated from the display box under the action of external force, which is convenient for opening the display box and internal maintenance; the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion only need to be assembled to the predetermined position of the display box 1 by extrusion. Compared with gluing sealing, the implementation is simpler and no glue marks are left.

[0147] Second, the first seal is formed with an annular groove. This design makes it easy for the upper end of the sealing ring to deform. When the first sealing part is assembled on the top cover of the pulsator washing machine, the annular groove is in contact with the observation window in the top cover, which can increase the stress concentration on the contact surface of the sealing ring and promote its contact surface to deform. It not only has a good sealing effect on the upper opening of the display box, but also has a buffering effect between the observation window and the display box, reducing the impact on the observation window and the display box.

[0148] Third, by directly inserting the sealing block into the concave cavity, the threading or wire is compressed to form a seal, which is easy to operate and will not affect the appearance of the product; by setting a concave cavity on the inner side of the display box, the rubber ring seat is inserted into the embedded cavity, and the first limiting hole and the hole of the embedded cavity are in contact with the wire to produce deformation, which can ensure good sealing and easy disassembly and assembly.

[0149] It is further understood that in this disclosure, "many" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar. "And / or" describes the association relationship of related objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "or" relationship. The singular forms "a", "the" and "the" are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
