Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of washing equipment technology, specifically relating to a door lock installation module and a washing equipment having the door lock installation module. Background Technology

[0002] A washing machine is a cleaning appliance that uses electrical energy to generate mechanical action to wash clothes. Based on their washing principle, washing machines can be divided into front-loading (drum) washing machines and top-loading (pulsator) washing machines. Because the washing tub rotates at high speed during the washing process, to ensure user safety, especially for washing machines with heating functions or larger capacities, a door lock mechanism is usually included. The door lock mechanism generally includes a latch and a latch. The latch is located on the drum of a top-loading washing machine, and the latch is located on the door. During washing machine operation, when the door is closed, the latch extends from the drum to the latch, locking the door and preventing the user from opening it, thus ensuring user safety.

[0003] Patent CN202120373237.X discloses a household appliance and its door lock device. In this door lock device, a first lock body rotates relative to the main body of the door lock, causing the first lock body and the second lock body to engage, thereby locking the first and second main bodies of the household appliance. The main body of the door lock can be fixedly connected to a waterproof plate, and the second lock body is fixed to the upper cover assembly, with a third through hole formed in the control panel. After the upper cover assembly is closed, the second lock body extends into the third through hole, and locking with the second lock body is achieved by rotating the first lock body. In this patent, when the upper cover assembly is open, small objects may fall into the through hole on the control panel, affecting the normal use of the door lock; furthermore, the through hole also affects the appearance quality.

[0004] Patent CN2012620981295.X discloses a split-type control panel base, including a control panel base body and a front control plate mounted and fixed to the control panel base body. It also includes a door lock, which comprises a door lock body and a latch. This design helps ensure the assembly clearance between the door lock and the front control plate. To ensure the upper surface of the front control plate is flat and aesthetically pleasing, the latch should be flush with the upper surface of the front control plate when the door lock is open. A first lock hole is provided on the front control plate, and the latch is located within the first lock hole, with its upper surface flush with the upper surface of the front control plate. The door lock body is fixed to the lower end face of a bracket. This patented door lock, fixed to the front control plate, requires space within the front control plate and holes for the latch to extend from both the front control plate and the bracket, resulting in a complex structure.

[0005] For top-loading washing machines, the control panel is typically tilted downwards from back to front. The door lock normally needs to be installed on this tilted surface, and the upper surface of the latch should align with the tilt angle of the control panel when the door is open. To increase market competitiveness, washing machine designs are constantly being improved, resulting in different models. The frequently changing tilt angle of the control panel's upper surface leads to unevenness between the latch and the control panel, or insecure door lock mounting. This necessitates structural modifications to the door lock based on the varying tilt angles of the control panel, requiring the creation of new molds and significantly increasing lock costs, thus reducing product competitiveness.

[0037] See Figures 1-12This is an embodiment of a door lock mounting module proposed in this invention. A door lock mounting module 100 is used on a top-opening washing machine. The door lock mounting module 100 is fixedly installed within a control panel base 200. A lock hole 210 is provided on the top surface of the control panel base 200, specifically fixed inside the top surface of the control panel base 200. The door lock mounting module 100 includes a fixing frame 10 and a door lock 20. The fixing frame 10 is fixedly installed within the control panel base 200 of the washing machine, and the door lock 20 is fixedly installed within the fixing frame 10. The door lock 20 is provided with a latch 21. By setting the fixing frame 10, the door lock 20 is fixed to the fixing frame 10, ensuring the sturdiness of the door lock 20 fixed to the fixing frame 10.

[0038] To ensure the upper surface of the latch 21 is flush with the upper surface of the control panel base 200, the relative angle between the door lock 20 and the upper surface of the control panel base 200 needs to be maintained. Therefore, the door lock mounting module 100 needs to be directly fixed to the control panel base 200. Currently, the angle between the upper surface of the control panel base 200 and the horizontal plane is generally 6°. Furthermore, due to the requirements of the injection molding process, the direction of the fixing post on the control panel base 200 can only be vertical. Therefore, the angle between the upper surface of the latch 21 of the door lock 20 and the fastening surface of the mounting hole 22 on the door lock 20 is 6°. When the tilt angle of the upper surface of the control panel base 200 changes, but the direction of the fixing post remains unchanged, while ensuring the upper surface of the latch 21 is flush with the upper surface of the control panel base 200, there will be an inclination between the end face of the fixing post and the fastening surface of the mounting hole 22. When the tilt angle is large, such as 17°, the contact area when tightening the screws is too small, resulting in inability to secure the screws. Therefore, in this application, a fixing bracket 10 is provided, which is fixed to the control panel base 200, which helps to increase the stability of the fixation. For example, the fixing bracket 10 can be set to match the control panel base 200 with the inclination of the upper end surface at the intermediate value. In this way, the fixing bracket 10 can be stably fixed when the inclination angle of the control panel base 200 is above or below the intermediate value. This allows one model of fixing bracket 10 to match multiple control panel bases 200 with different inclination angles, and the door lock 20 does not need to be modified, which greatly reduces the cost.

[0039] In this application, the control panel base 200 is provided with a first limiting rib 221, which is located on the inner side of the fixing frame 10 and on the outer side of the door lock 20. By setting the first limiting rib 221, both the fixing frame 10 and the door lock 20 are simultaneously limited, achieving direct limiting between the door lock 20 and the control panel base 200, avoiding cumulative errors, and ensuring the accuracy of the door lock 20 after installation, ensuring that the latch 21 of the door lock 20 is flush with the upper surface of the control panel base 200. If the door lock 20 is limited within the fixing frame 10, the error after installation of the door lock 20 will be the sum of the installation error between the fixing frame 10 and the control panel base and the installation error between the fixing frame 10 and the door lock 20, which will lead to excessive error.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the fixing frame 10 has a surrounding plate 11 enclosing the outside of the door lock 20. A second limiting rib 222 is also provided on the control panel base 200, blocking the outside of the surrounding plate 11. The first limiting rib 221 and the second limiting rib 222 are connected and form a limiting groove 224, within which the surrounding plate 11 is located. By providing the second limiting rib 222, the limiting on the outside of the surrounding plate 11 is increased, which helps to further increase the stability of the fixing frame 10 after fixing. The forming of the limiting groove 224 helps to increase the structural stability of the limiting. The surrounding plate 11 has side plates on both sides and two end plates at the ends, both of which are located within the limiting groove.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the first limiting rib 221 and the second limiting rib 222 are connected by a connecting rib 223. The first limiting rib 221, the second limiting rib 222, and the connecting rib 223 form a limiting groove 224, with the opening of the limiting groove 224 facing downwards. A positioning groove 111 is provided on the surrounding plate 11 to avoid the connecting rib 223. The limiting groove 224 limits the direction of action of the fixing frame 10. By providing the positioning groove 111, it is beneficial to limit the fixing frame 10 in the front-back direction.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, a latch 21 is provided on the door lock 20, and a lock hole 210 matching the latch 21 is provided on the top surface of the control panel base 200; the fixing bracket 10 has a fixing top 12 arranged parallel to the end face where the lock hole 210 is located, and the outer end face 122 of the fixing top 12 is parallel to the end face where the lock hole 210 is located, so that the fixing top 12 can fit against the end face where the lock hole 210 is located in the control panel base 200. The door lock 20 is fixedly fixed in the fixing bracket 10 at an angle relative to the outer end face of the fixing top 12. By setting the fixing top 12 to be parallel to the end face where the lock hole 210 is located, the fixing bracket 10 fits against the inner side of the upper end face of the control panel base 200, which helps to increase the contact area between the fixing bracket 10 and the control panel base 200 and improve the stability of the fixing bracket 10 after it is fixed.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the inner end face 121 and the outer end face 122 of the fixed top 12 are inclined relative to each other to support the door lock 20, thereby achieving a relative angle between the door lock 20 and the upper end face of the control panel base 200, ensuring that the upper end face of the latch 21 of the door lock 20 is flush with the upper end face of the control panel base 200; this allows the top surface of the door lock 20 to contact the inner end face 121 of the fixed top 12, which helps to increase the contact area between the door lock 20 and the fixing frame 10, and increases the stability of the fixation. A main clearance opening 123 is provided on the fixed top 12, and the end of the door lock 20 near the latch 21 extends into the main clearance opening 123, which is defined as the first end. By setting the main clearance opening 123, firstly, the bolt 21 can be extended upward and inserted into the lock hole 210; secondly, the first end of the door lock 20 can be inserted into the main clearance opening 123, so as to achieve the inclined setting of the door lock 20 relative to the upper surface of the control panel base 200 and ensure the relative positional relationship; and thirdly, it is conducive to the compactness of the structure.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the control panel base 200 is provided with inclined support ribs 230 for supporting the door lock 20. The upper end face of the support rib 230 is flush with the inner end face 121 of the fixed top 12, and the support rib 230 is located within the main clearance opening 123. The top surface of the door lock 20 is in contact with both the support rib 230 and the fixed top 12. By providing the support rib 230, the contact between the door lock 20 and the control panel base 200 is increased, which is beneficial for positioning the door lock 20 and increasing the accuracy after installation.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, a plurality of first limiting ribs 221 are provided on the control panel base 200, and a support rib 230 is connected to one of the first limiting ribs 221. An extension opening 124 is provided on the fixed top 12 for one of the first limiting ribs 221 to extend out. By providing the extension opening 124, it is beneficial to limit the fixing frame 10 in the front-back and left-right directions, thereby increasing the stability after fixing.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the control panel base 200 has a first stop rib 240 that abuts the first end of the door lock 20. The first stop rib 240 is located within the main clearance opening 123, and the first stop rib 240 abuts the front end within the main clearance opening 123. The first stop rib 240 is used to limit the forward movement of the door lock 20 and the backward movement of the fixing frame 10, thereby limiting the fixing frame 10 and the door lock 20 in the front-back direction. The first limiting rib 221 limits the fixing frame 10 and the door lock 20 in the front-back direction, or the limiting groove 224 limits the fixing frame 10 and the door lock 20 in the front-back direction.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket 10 has a surrounding plate 11 enclosing the outside of the door lock 20. The door lock 20 has a partially outwardly protruding structure. To avoid interference with the surrounding plate 11, a clearance groove 112 is provided on the surrounding plate 11 to avoid interference with the door lock 20. A limiting rib 250 is provided on the base 200 to limit the door lock 20. The limiting rib 250 is located outside the clearance groove 112. The limiting rib 250 is provided to limit the distance between the base 200 and the door lock 20, ensuring the installation accuracy of the door lock 20. The limiting rib 250 has a limiting groove 251, which is right-angled, to limit the door lock 20 backward and to the left. Multiple first stop ribs 240 are located on the left and right sides of the door lock 20 to limit the door lock 20 in the left and right directions. A support rib 230 is located on the front side of the door lock 20 to limit the door lock 20 in the forward direction. Multiple limit structures are set on the control panel base 200 to limit the door lock 20 and ensure the installation accuracy of the door lock 20.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the fixing frame 20 has a fixing top 12 connected to the surrounding plate 11, and a clearance portion 125 is provided on the fixing top 12 to avoid the limiting rib 250, with the limiting rib 250 located within the clearance portion 125. The clearance portion 125 and the clearance groove 112 are provided so that the door lock 20 extends outward from the fixing frame 10, thereby limiting the door lock 20 by the limiting rib 250.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the fixing frame 10 is provided with outwardly extending fixing ears 13, and the control panel base 200 is provided with fixing posts 260 that match the fixing ears 13. The axis of the fixing posts 260 is perpendicular to the plane containing the bottom of the control panel base 200. The fixing frame 10 has a surrounding plate 11 that surrounds the outside of the door lock 20, and the surrounding plate 11 is parallel to the outer side of the door lock 20. The fixing ears 13 are not perpendicular to the surrounding plate 11. Preferably, the axis of the fixing posts 260 is perpendicular to the fixing ears 13. When the axis of the fixing posts 260 is nearly perpendicular to the fixing ears 13, stable fixation between the fixing posts 260 and the fixing ears 13 can also be achieved.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the fixing frame 10 has a fixed top 12, a surrounding plate 11 connected to the fixed top 12, and a reinforcing part 14 located outside the surrounding plate 11. The surrounding plate 11 surrounds the outside of the door lock 20, and the reinforcing part 14 is located at the front end of the fixing frame 10. A fixing ear 13 extending outward is provided on the reinforcing part 14. The reinforcing part 14 has a parallel plate 141 arranged parallel to the surrounding plate 11, and a reinforcing rib 142 connecting the surrounding plate 11 and the parallel plate 141. The fixing ear 13 is connected to the parallel plate 141. The fixing frame 10 has a surrounding plate 11 surrounding the outside of the door lock 20, and a fastening post 15 for fixing the door lock 20 is provided at the surrounding plate 11.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, the fixed top 12 has a first fixed plate 1261 parallel to the top surface of the door lock 20, and a plurality of first fixed ribs 1262 extending upward along the first fixed plate 1261. The height of the first fixed ribs 1262 gradually decreases in the direction near the main clearance opening 123. The upper end face of the first fixed ribs 1262 is parallel to the end face where the lock hole 210 is located. The fixed top 12 also has a second fixed plate 1263 parallel to the end face where the lock hole 210 is located, and a plurality of second fixed ribs 1264 extending downward along the second fixed plate 1263. The height of the second fixed ribs 1264 gradually decreases in the direction near the main clearance opening 123, and the lower end face of the second fixed ribs 1264 is parallel to the top surface of the door lock 20. The upper end faces of the second fixed plate 1263 and the first fixed ribs 1262 are in contact with the control panel base 200, and the lower end faces of the first fixed plate 1261 and the second fixed ribs 1264 are in contact with the door lock 20. The first fixing plate 1261 and the second fixing plate 1263 are arranged on the left and right sides. The first fixing plate 1261 and the second fixing plate 1263, the first fixing rib 1262 and the second fixing rib 1264 provided by the fixing top 12 help to ensure the contact area between the fixing frame 20 and the control panel 200, as well as the contact area between the fixing frame 20 and the door lock 20, and help to ensure the firmness of the door lock installation module 100 after it is fixed.
