[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0035] The core of the utility model is to provide a washing machine door sealing tongue, which is convenient for assembling the washing machine. Another core of the utility model is to provide a washing machine including the washing machine door sealing tongue, which is convenient for assembling the washing machine.

[0036] Please combine Figures 1 to 7The embodiment of the utility model provides a washing machine door sealing tongue, including a tongue body 1 and a spray structure, wherein the tongue body 1 is used to be connected to the front barrel 20 of the washing machine; the spray structure is arranged on the tongue body 1 and is used to be connected to a water pipe 50 so as to spray water into the front barrel 20 through the spray structure.

[0037] That is to say, the embodiment of the utility model integrates the spray structure into the tongue body 1, so that the washing machine door seal tongue has both the function of blocking clothes and the function of spraying, so that the washing machine door seal tongue has multiple functions, so that in the process of washing and rinsing clothes, water is sprayed into the front barrel 20 through the spray structure to increase the dissolution rate of detergent and avoid residual laundry detergent. After the tongue body 1 and the spray structure are integrated, the installation of the washing machine door seal tongue is realized by connecting the tongue body 1 with the front barrel 20 of the washing machine, so that the tongue body 1 and the spray structure are fixed at the same time, avoiding the need to install the door seal tongue and the nozzle separately, facilitating the assembly of the washing machine, and simplifying the overall structure of the washing machine. In addition, the door seal tongue in the prior art is usually soft. As the use time increases, the root of the door seal tongue will be worn due to the shaking of the door seal 30, generating debris. After the embodiment of the utility model integrates the spray structure into the tongue body 1, it is also beneficial to use the spray structure to improve the structural strength of the tongue body 1, so that the washing machine door seal tongue is not easy to shake and wear.

[0038] Furthermore, in order to achieve wide-angle spraying, in some embodiments, the tongue body 1 is provided with a curved surface 11, and the spraying structure includes a water outlet 21, which is arranged to align with the curved surface 11, so that the spraying water hits the curved surface 11 and disperses after coming out of the water outlet 21. That is to say, in this embodiment, the spraying water does not fall directly into the interior of the washing machine after coming out of the water outlet 21, but impacts the curved surface 11. Under the stopping effect of the curved surface 11, the water falling on the curved surface 11 is dispersed everywhere, and then falls into the interior of the front tub 20 under the guidance of the front structure of the curved surface 11, and flows to the door glass 40 of the washing machine under the guidance of the structures on both sides of the curved surface 11, thereby playing the role of cleaning the door glass 40 of the washing machine. That is, in this embodiment, the spraying water enters the interior of the washing machine through the curved surface 11, effectively increasing the water flow area, achieving wide-angle spraying, and making the rinsing more sufficient while cleaning the door glass 40. It should be noted that the arc surface 11 needs to have sufficient hardness to resist the impact force of water flow.

[0039] In addition, in some embodiments, the end surface of the water outlet 21 is an inclined surface 211. That is, it is equivalent to making a chamfer at the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 50, so that the cross section of the water outlet 21 changes from a circle to an ellipse, which relatively increases the water outlet area, increases the water outlet flow, and improves the wide-angle spray effect.

[0040] In addition, in order to facilitate the connection of the water outlet 21 to the water pipe 50, in some embodiments, the spray structure further includes a water outlet channel 22 that runs through the tongue body 1, one end of the water outlet channel 22 is connected to the water outlet 21, and the other end is used to connect to the water pipe 50. That is to say, in this embodiment, a hollow channel is opened inside the tongue body 1 as a water flow channel, and the end of the water outlet channel 22 away from the water outlet 21 is connected to the water pipe 50, and the water supplied by the water pipe 50 flows into the water outlet 21 through the water outlet channel 22 and flows out from the water outlet 21. The provision of the water outlet channel 22 facilitates the interface connecting the spray structure and the water pipe 50 to be led out at a suitable position, which facilitates the connection of the spray structure and the water pipe 50, thereby facilitating the water pipe 50 to supply water to the water outlet 21.

[0041] It should be noted that the specific shape of the water outlet channel 22 is not limited in this embodiment, as long as the water outlet 21 can be connected to the water pipe 50. In some embodiments, the water outlet channel 22 is a linear channel. The water outlet channel 22 extends radially in a direction away from the water outlet 21.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the connection between the water outlet channel 22 and the water pipe 50, in some embodiments, the end of the water outlet channel 22 away from the water outlet 21 is a pipe joint 23 protruding from the end surface of the tongue body 1, and the pipe joint 23 is used to connect with the water pipe 50. In other words, the end of the water outlet channel 22 away from the water outlet 21 is made into a tubular structure to facilitate the connection with the water pipe 50.

[0043] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the utility model, the water pipe 50 is connected to a switch valve, so as to realize spraying or non-spraying by controlling the on-off of the switch valve.

[0044] In addition, in order to facilitate the rapid positioning of the washing machine door sealing tongue when it is installed on the front tub 20, in some embodiments, the tongue body 1 is provided with at least one of a positioning groove 12 and a positioning column, which is used to cooperate with the positioning structure provided on the front tub 20 to limit the position. In other words, the front tub 20 is provided with a positioning structure for cooperating with the positioning groove 12 and / or the positioning column. For example, if the tongue body 1 is provided with a positioning groove 12, the front tub 20 is provided with a positioning column for cooperating with the positioning groove 12; or, if the tongue body 1 is provided with a positioning column, the front tub 20 is provided with a positioning groove 12 for cooperating with the positioning column. That is, this embodiment utilizes the cooperation of the positioning groove 12 and / or the positioning column with the corresponding positioning structure on the front tub 20 to achieve rapid positioning of the washing machine door sealing tongue when it is installed, which is convenient for installation on the one hand, and helps to ensure that the washing machine door sealing tongue has a suitable position in the front tub 20 on the other hand.

[0045] In addition, in some embodiments, the tongue body 1 is provided with a first mounting structure 13 for connecting with a second mounting structure provided on the front tub 20. That is to say, in this embodiment, the connection between the tongue body 1 and the front tub 20 is achieved by connecting the first mounting structure 13 and the second mounting structure. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the first mounting structure 13 and the second mounting structure, as long as the connection between the two can be achieved. In some embodiments, the first mounting structure 13 is a mounting hole, and the second mounting structure is a screw hole. After the washing machine door sealing tongue is installed in place, the mounting hole and the screw hole are aligned with each other, and the screw is passed through the mounting hole and tightened with the screw hole to achieve the fixing of the washing machine door sealing tongue and the front tub 20.

[0046] In some embodiments, the tongue body 1 is provided with two mounting holes and a positioning groove 12, through which the positioning and fixation of the washing machine door sealing tongue are achieved.

[0047] In addition, considering the convenience of processing, in some embodiments, the tongue body 1 and the spray structure are integrally injection molded. That is to say, the washing machine door seal tongue in this embodiment is injection molded as a single product, which is convenient for manufacturing and molding. In addition, considering that the spray structure needs to have a certain structural strength to resist the impact of water flow, the washing machine door seal tongue adopts a harder material for injection molding, which improves the structural strength of the tongue body 1 compared with the door seal tongue in the prior art, and is conducive to avoiding the generation of debris caused by the wear of the root of the washing machine door seal tongue due to the shaking of the washing machine door seal 30.

[0048] In addition to the above-mentioned washing machine door sealing tongue, the utility model also provides a washing machine including the washing machine door sealing tongue disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment, wherein the tongue body 1 of the washing machine door sealing tongue is connected to the front tub 20 of the washing machine. The structures of other parts of the washing machine are referred to the prior art and will not be described in detail herein.

[0049] The key point of this embodiment is: the washing machine door seal tongue disclosed in any of the above embodiments is adopted. Since the washing machine door seal tongue is integrated with a spray structure, it has both the function of blocking clothes and the function of spraying, so that the washing machine door seal tongue has multiple functions. In the process of washing and rinsing clothes, water is sprayed into the front barrel 20 through the spray structure to increase the dissolution rate of detergent and avoid residual laundry detergent. After the tongue body 1 and the spray structure are integrated, the installation of the washing machine door seal tongue is realized by connecting the tongue body 1 with the front barrel 20 of the washing machine, so that the tongue body 1 and the spray structure are fixed at the same time, avoiding the installation of the door seal tongue and the nozzle separately, facilitating the assembly of the washing machine, and simplifying the overall structure of the washing machine. In addition, the door seal tongue in the prior art is usually soft. As the use time increases, the root of the door seal tongue will be worn due to the shaking of the door seal 30, generating debris. After the spray structure is integrated into the tongue body 1 in the embodiment of the utility model, it is also beneficial to use the spray structure to improve the structural strength of the tongue body 1, so that the washing machine door seal tongue is not easy to shake and wear.

[0050] In addition, after the washing machine door sealing tongue is processed, it is connected to the front tub 20, which is equivalent to the washing machine door sealing tongue being an external component. Therefore, it can be suitable for washing machines of different models. It only needs to add corresponding positioning structures and installation structures to the front tub 20 and / or the door seal 30 of the washing machine.

[0051] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the door seal 30 of the washing machine is provided with an avoidance groove 301 and a through hole 302. The avoidance groove 301 is used to make way for the tongue body 1; the through hole 302 penetrates the curved surface of the door seal 30 and is used for the pipe joint 23 of the spray structure to pass through so that the pipe joint 23 is connected to the water pipe 50. That is, in this embodiment, the avoidance groove 301 is provided on the door seal 30 to avoid the structure of the tongue body 1, thereby avoiding interference between the door seal 30 and the tongue body 1. In addition, the through hole 302 for the pipe joint 23 of the spray structure to pass through is provided on the curved surface of the door seal 30, so as to facilitate the installation of the door seal 30.

[0052] It should also be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are merely used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0053] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
