DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the display panel assembly and the washing machine, etc. will be described in detail in combination with the drawings.

[0047] Washing machines are a necessity in people's daily lives. Users can adjust parameters such as the washing mode, water consumption, and washing time through the display panel in front of the washing machine according to the number and type of clothes to be washed.

[0048] The display panel assembly is generally installed on the installation window of the front panel of the washing machine. During the operation of the washing machine, water vapor will diffuse from the inside of the washing machine to the surface of the display panel assembly facing the inside of the washing machine, and then condensation will form on the surface of the display panel assembly, which may cause oxidation corrosion or even short circuit of the circuit in the display panel assembly. In the related art, washing machines generally have an additional waterproof cover on the back of the display panel to prevent water vapor from affecting the display panel assembly.

[0049] However, this arrangement not only makes the assembly steps more complicated, but also increases the number of parts.

[0050] In this regard, the present application provides a display panel assembly, such as Figure 1 As shown, the display panel assembly may include a mounting frame 1 and a display assembly 2; the mounting frame 1 includes a frame portion 11, and a mounting recess 121 formed by an inward depression of a middle portion 12, one side of the mounting recess 121 has an opening 1211, and the frame portion 11 is connected to the edge of the opening 1211; the display assembly 2 is installed in the mounting recess 121, so that the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121 surrounds at least a portion of the display assembly 2 to prevent water vapor from entering the display assembly 2.

[0051] In the display panel assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, the middle part of the mounting frame 1 is recessed inward to form a mounting recess 121. The display assembly 2 can be connected to the mounting frame 1 through the mounting recess 121, and the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121 surrounds at least a part of the display assembly 2. When the water vapor inside the washing machine diffuses toward the display assembly 2, it will be blocked by the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121, so that condensed water is formed on the surface of the wall 1212 away from the display assembly 2, and will not flow into the display assembly 2, thereby preventing the water vapor inside the washing machine from affecting the display assembly 2. Therefore, due to the provision of the mounting recess 121, the mounting frame 1 not only has the assembly function of installing the display assembly 2, but also can prevent the display assembly 2 from being eroded by water vapor. Compared with the related art, there is no need to additionally provide a waterproof cover plate, which reduces the number of parts and simplifies the assembly steps of the display panel assembly.

[0052] It should be noted that the mounting frame 1 includes a frame portion 11 and a middle portion 12. The frame portion 11 is located on the outside of the middle portion 12 and is connected to the outer edge of the middle portion 12. The frame portion 11 has a partial surface that is coplanar with the middle portion 12. The middle portion 12 is recessed toward the inside of the mounting frame 1 relative to the partial surface of the frame portion 11, forming a basin-shaped structure with a closed bottom and an open top 1211, that is, a mounting recess 121.

[0053] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the wall body 1212 of the mounting recess 121 includes a bottom wall 12121 and an annular side wall 12122; the bottom wall 12121 is opposite to the opening 1211 of the mounting recess 121; one side of the annular side wall 12122 is connected to the circumferential edge of the bottom wall 12121, and the other side of the annular side wall 12122 extends toward one side of the mounting frame 1 and encloses the opening 1211.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the opening 1211 of the mounting recess 121 is located on the first side of the mounting frame 1, and the second side of the mounting frame 1 is open, and the second side is opposite to the first side; the mounting frame 1 also includes a connecting portion 13, and the connecting portion 13 is used to realize the installation and fixation of the mounting frame 1, wherein one end of the connecting portion 13 is connected to the wall 1212 and / or the frame portion 11 of the mounting recess 121, and the other end of the connecting portion 13 is exposed from the second side of the mounting frame 1.

[0055] It should be noted that the first side and the second side are not the physical structures of the installation frame 1, but refer to the positions of the installation frame 1 on two opposite sides. For example, the second side of the installation frame 1 is surrounded by the frame portion 11, and the first side is opposite to the second side.

[0056] In the display panel assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, a connection portion 13 is provided on the mounting frame 1, and the mounting frame 1 can be mounted and fixed to the washing machine through the connection portion 13. Figure 3 As shown, the connecting portion 13 includes a connecting rod 131, one end of which is connected to the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121 and the frame portion 11, and the other end is exposed from the open second side of the mounting frame 1, and is used to connect with the connecting structure matching the washing machine body through threads or connecting pins, etc., so as to realize the installation and fixation of the mounting frame 1 and the washing machine body.

[0057] In another example, the connecting portion 13 includes a connecting claw 132, which is connected to the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121 and is located on one side of the mounting recess 121 close to the bottom of the mounting frame 1, and is used for a bayonet snap connection on the upper body of the washing machine to achieve installation and fixation of the mounting frame 1 and the washing machine.

[0058] In another example, Figure 3 As shown, the connecting portion 13 can include the above-mentioned connecting rod 131 and connecting claw 132 at the same time. When fixing the installation frame 1, the connecting claw 132 can be first connected with the bayonet on the washing machine, and then the connecting rod 131 can be connected with the matching connecting structure on the washing machine to achieve double fixation, thereby preventing the installation frame 1 from shaking when the washing machine is running and when the user is operating.

[0059] Those skilled in the art can select and adjust the type of the connecting portion 13 according to actual needs.

[0060] The user generally controls the washing machine by pressing the operation buttons on the display component 2 with his fingers, and the display component 2 is installed in the installation recess 121. When the display component 2 is subjected to pressure, pressure is generated on the wall 1212 of the installation recess 121. Since the second side of the installation frame 1 is open, the wall 1212 of the installation recess 121 has no effective support, and the structural strength of the connection between the wall 1212 and the frame part 11 is low. During long-term use, it may be damaged due to the force.

[0061] Therefore, in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the mounting frame 1 may further include a reinforcing portion 14, which is located on the side of the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121 away from the opening 1211, one end of the reinforcing portion 14 is connected to the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121, and the other end of the reinforcing portion 14 is connected to the frame portion 11.

[0062] A reinforcement is arranged between the wall body 1212 and the frame portion 11. When the wall body 1212 is under pressure, a part of the pressure can be transferred through the frame portion 11 to the area where the washing machine is connected to the frame portion 11, thereby dispersing the pressure to different parts of the washing machine. In addition, the reinforcement itself can increase the structural strength of the installation frame 1, thereby preventing the installation frame 1 from being damaged due to stress, and improving the service life of components.

[0063] Optionally, the reinforcement portion 14 is a reinforcement rib.

[0064] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple reinforcing ribs, and they are arranged along the length direction of the mounting frame 1 (i.e. Figure 1 The mounting frame 1 is arranged at intervals in the X direction, and the structural strength of multiple points at the connection between the wall body 1212 and the frame part 11 in the length direction is reinforced, further reducing the probability of damage to the mounting frame 1.

[0065] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 1 is an integrally molded structure, that is, the mounting recess 121, the frame portion 11, the connecting portion 13 and the reinforcing portion 14 are an integrally molded structure, which reduces the number of parts and reduces production costs. In addition, the mounting frame 1 is integrally molded, and there is no assembly relationship between the various parts, which increases the structural strength.

[0066] In some embodiments, the display assembly 2 can be fixed in the mounting recess 121 by bonding, so as to achieve mounting and fixing with the mounting recess 121, but the bonding method will make it inconvenient to disassemble the display assembly 2. Therefore, a snap-fit ​​method can be used to achieve a detachable connection between the display assembly 2 and the mounting frame 1, so as to facilitate replacement of the display assembly 2.

[0067] Therefore, in some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a card interface 1213 is provided on the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121, and the card interface 1213 is used for snap-connecting with the display component 2; the mounting frame 1 may include a first water retaining member 15, and the first water retaining member 15 is located on the surface of the wall 1212 facing away from the outlet 1211, and is used to prevent at least a part of the condensed water condensed on the mounting frame 1 from flowing into the card interface 1213.

[0068] Since a card interface 1213 is provided on the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121, a small portion of condensed water can still flow into the mounting recess 121 through the card interface 1213, which may affect the display assembly 2. Therefore, a first water retaining member 15 is provided on the surface of the wall 1212 away from the interface 1211. When water vapor condenses on the surface to generate condensed water, when the condensed water flows along the surface toward the location of the card interface 1213, at least a portion of the condensed water can be blocked by the first water retaining member 15, thereby preventing the condensed water from flowing into the mounting recess 121 along the card interface 1213 as much as possible, thereby reducing the impact of the condensed water on the display assembly 2.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first water retaining member 15 is located on one side of the card interface 1213 close to the top of the mounting frame 1; the length of the first water retaining member 15 in the first direction is greater than the length of the card interface 1213 in the first direction ( Figure 1 The length of the first water retaining member 15 in the first direction is equal to the length of the card interface 1213 in the first direction, and the two ends of the first water retaining member 15 are respectively located at the opposite sides of the card interface 1213 in the first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the length direction of the mounting frame 1; or, the length of the first water retaining member 15 in the first direction is equal to the length of the card interface 1213 in the first direction, and the two ends of the first water retaining member 15 are respectively flush with the opposite side edges of the card interface 1213 in the first direction.

[0070] After condensed water condenses on the surface of the wall 1212 facing away from the outlet 1211, the condensed water will flow downward under the action of gravity, so most of the condensed water flowing into the card interface 1213 is condensed water condensed above the card interface 1213. The first water retaining member 15 is arranged above the card interface 1213, and the condensed water will be blocked by the first water retaining member 15 when flowing downward, so as to prevent the condensed water from flowing into the card interface 1213.

[0071] In one example, if Figure 5 As shown, the length of the first water retaining member 15 is equal to the length of the card interface 1213. The first water retaining member 15 can block the condensed water condensed directly above the card interface 1213. However, the condensed water generated above the card interface 1213, especially in the areas on opposite sides of the length direction, may still flow into the card interface 1213 from the side of the card interface 1213 when it flows downward.

[0072] Therefore, in another example, the length of the first water retaining member 15 is greater than the length of the card interface 1213, and the two ends of the first water retaining member 15 are located on opposite sides of the card interface 1213 in the first direction. Compared with the above example, the possibility of condensed water condensed above the card interface 1213 flowing into the card interface 1213 from the side of the card interface 1213 is further reduced, and the blocking effect is better.

[0073] Optionally, there is a gap between the first water stopper 15 and the card interface 1213 ; or, the first water stopper 15 is adjacent to an edge of the card interface 1213 .

[0074] In one example, if Figure 5 As shown, the first water stopper 15 is adjacent to the edge of the card interface 1213 , which can prevent at least a portion of the condensed water from flowing into the card interface 1213 when the condensed water flows, thereby reducing the impact of the condensed water on the display assembly 2 .

[0075] In some embodiments, the display assembly 2 has a snap-fit ​​structure, and the display assembly 2 is snap-fitted and connected with the snap-fit ​​interface 1213 on the mounting recess 121 via the snap-fit ​​structure to achieve a detachable connection between the display assembly 2 and the mounting frame 1 .

[0076] Optionally, the snap-fit ​​structure is a snap hook or a snap block, and those skilled in the art can select and adjust the type of the snap-fit ​​structure on the display assembly 2 .

[0077] In addition, since the structural strength at the card interface 1213 is relatively low, in some embodiments, there may be multiple reinforcing ribs, corresponding to the number of card interfaces 1213 , and a reinforcing rib is provided near each card interface 1213 to increase the overall structural strength of the installation frame 1 .

[0078] The motor, controller and other components of the washing machine are all inside the washing machine. In order to facilitate power supply to the display assembly 2 and receive control signals sent by the display assembly 2, it is necessary to open a harness passage 1214 on the mounting recess 121.

[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a wire harness passage opening 1214 is provided on the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121, and the wire harness passage opening 1214 is used to allow the wire harness electrically connected to the display assembly 2 to pass through; a second water retaining member 16 is provided on the mounting frame 1, and the second water retaining member 16 is located on the surface of the wall 1212 away from the opening 1211, and is used to prevent at least a part of the condensed water condensed on the mounting frame 1 from flowing into the wire harness passage opening 1214.

[0080] Since a harness through port 1214 is provided on the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121, a small portion of condensed water can still flow into the mounting recess 121 through the card interface 1213, which may affect the display assembly 2. Therefore, a second water stopper 16 is provided on the surface of the wall 1212 away from the port 1211. When water vapor condenses on the surface to generate condensed water, when the condensed water flows along the surface toward the location of the harness through port 1214, at least a portion of the condensed water can be blocked by the second water stopper 16, thereby preventing the condensed water from flowing into the mounting recess 121 along the harness through port 1214 as much as possible, thereby reducing the impact of the condensed water on the display assembly 2.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second water stopper 16 is located on one side of the wire harness opening 1214 close to the top of the mounting frame 1; the length of the second water stopper 16 in the first direction is greater than the length of the wire harness opening 1214 in the first direction, and the two ends of the second water stopper 16 are respectively located on opposite sides of the wire harness opening 1214 in the first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the length direction of the mounting frame 1; or, the length of the second water stopper 16 in the first direction is equal to the length of the wire harness opening 1214 in the first direction, and the two ends of the second water stopper 16 are respectively flush with the opposite side edges of the wire harness opening 1214 in the first direction.

[0082] After condensed water condenses on the surface of the wall 1212 facing away from the opening 1211, the condensed water will flow downward under the action of gravity, so most of the condensed water flowing into the harness through opening 1214 is condensed water condensed above the harness through opening 1214. The second water stopper 16 is arranged above the harness through opening 1214, and the condensed water will be blocked by the second water stopper 16 when flowing downward, so as to prevent the condensed water from flowing into the harness through opening 1214.

[0083] In one example, the length of the second water stopper 16 is equal to the length of the wiring harness passage 1214. The second water stopper 16 can block the condensed water condensed directly above the wiring harness passage 1214, but the condensed water above the wiring harness passage 1214, especially in the areas on opposite sides of the length direction of the wiring harness passage 1214, may still flow into the card interface 1213 from the sides of the wiring harness passage 1214 when flowing downward.

[0084] So, in another example, Figure 4 As shown, the length of the second water stopper 16 is greater than the length of the wiring harness passage 1214, and the two ends of the second water stopper 16 are located on opposite sides of the wiring harness passage 1214 in the first direction. Compared with the above example, the possibility of condensed water condensed above the card interface 1213 flowing into the card interface 1213 from the side of the card interface 1213 is further reduced, and the blocking effect is better.

[0085] Optionally, there is a gap between the second water stopper 16 and the wire harness through-hole 1214 ; or, the second water stopper 16 is adjacent to an edge of the wire harness through-hole 1214 .

[0086] In one example, if Figure 4 As shown, there is a gap between the second water stopper 16 and the harness passage opening 1214 , which can prevent at least a portion of the condensed water from flowing into the harness passage opening 1214 when the condensed water flows, thereby reducing the impact of the condensed water on the display assembly 2 .

[0087] When water vapor condenses on the surface of the wall 1212 , it will inevitably flow downward along the surface under the action of gravity, in order to reduce the amount of condensed water flowing to the first water retaining member 15 .

[0088] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wall body 1212 of the mounting recess 121 may include a bottom wall 12121 and an annular side wall 12122; the bottom wall 12121 is opposite to the opening 1211 of the mounting recess 121; one side of the annular side wall 12122 is connected to the circumferential edge of the bottom wall 12121, and the other side of the annular side wall 12122 extends toward the first side of the mounting frame 1 and surrounds the opening 1211; wherein the bottom wall 12121 is oriented in the height direction ( Figure 1 The mounting frame 1 is tilted in the Z direction (in the Z direction), and the tilting direction is from the top to the bottom of the mounting frame 1, gradually away from the second side of the mounting frame 1, wherein the top and the bottom of the mounting frame 1 are opposite in the height direction, and the first side of the mounting frame 1 is opposite to the second side.

[0089] Since the bottom wall 12121 is inclined, after water vapor condenses on the surface of the bottom wall 12121 away from the opening 1211, part of it will flow downward along the surface, while the other part will drip under the action of gravity before flowing to the first water retaining member 15, further reducing the probability of condensed water flowing into the card interface 1213 or the wiring harness through-port 1214.

[0090] It should be noted that water itself has an adhesive property and tends to adhere to other surfaces (such as the surface of the first water retaining member 15 and the surface of the second water retaining member 16). Therefore, when the condensed water flows to the first water retaining member 15 or the second water retaining member 16, a small amount of the condensed water will flow into the card interface 1213 along the surface of the first water retaining member 15 or the surface of the second water retaining member 16, which means that backflow may occur.

[0091] Therefore, in some embodiments, the first water retaining member 15 is vertically connected to the bottom wall 12121 ; and / or, the second water retaining member 16 is vertically connected to the bottom wall 12121 .

[0092] Since the bottom wall 12121 is inclined relative to the height direction of the installation frame 1, the first water retaining member 15 and / or the second water retaining member 16 are vertically connected to the bottom wall 12121, that is, the first water retaining member 15 and / or the second water retaining member 16 are inclined toward the direction close to the ground.

[0093] When the condensed water flows to the surface of the first water retaining member 15 away from the card interface 1213, the first water retaining member 15 is tilted as a whole toward the ground, and the adhesion force of the condensed water is difficult to offset the gravity, so it will drip under the action of gravity; when the condensed water flows to the surface of the second water retaining member 16 away from the wire bundle passage 1214, the second water retaining member 16 is tilted as a whole toward the ground, and the adhesion force of the condensed water is difficult to offset the gravity, so it will also drip under the action of gravity, and no backflow phenomenon will occur.

[0094] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the display assembly 2 includes a lamp holder 22, a display panel 21 and a seal; a connecting portion 13 is provided on one side of the lamp holder 22, which is connected to the mounting recess 121 through the connecting portion 13, and the display panel 21 is covered on the other side of the lamp holder 22. The seal is located between the display panel 21 and the lamp holder 22, and is used to seal the gap between the display panel 21 and the lamp holder 22.

[0095] Optionally, the sealing member is light-blocking foam.

[0096] In some embodiments, the display panel 21 is inclined relative to the height direction of the mounting frame 1, and the inclination direction is from the top to the bottom of the mounting frame 1, gradually away from the second side of the mounting frame 1, so that the user can observe the display panel 21 more intuitively during operation, and it is also more convenient to operate.

[0097] Optionally, the angle between the display panel 21 and the mounting frame 1 in the height direction is between 35° and 55°.

[0098] The present application also provides a washing machine, which includes the above-mentioned display panel assembly.

[0099] In the washing machine provided in the embodiment of the present application, the middle part of the mounting frame 1 is recessed inward to form a mounting recess 121. The display assembly 2 can be connected to the mounting frame 1 through the mounting recess 121, and the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121 surrounds at least a part of the display assembly 2. When the water vapor inside the washing machine diffuses toward the display assembly 2, it will be blocked by the wall 1212 of the mounting recess 121, so that condensed water is formed on the surface of the wall 1212 away from the display assembly 2, and will not flow into the display assembly 2, thereby preventing the water vapor inside the washing machine from affecting the display assembly 2. Therefore, due to the provision of the mounting recess 121, the mounting frame 1 not only has the assembly function of installing the display assembly 2, but also can prevent the display assembly 2 from being eroded by water vapor. Compared with the related art, there is no need to additionally provide a waterproof cover plate, which reduces the number of parts and simplifies the assembly steps of the display panel assembly.

[0100] Furthermore, since the washing machine adopts the above-mentioned display panel assembly, the display assembly 2 can be prevented from being affected by water vapor, the number of maintenance times is reduced, the overall service life of the washing machine is increased, and the user experience is better.

[0101] In the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, unless otherwise clearly defined.

[0102] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present application after considering the specification and practicing the utility model disclosed herein. The present application is intended to cover any variations, uses or adaptations of the present application, which follow the general principles of the present application and include common knowledge or customary technical means in the art that are not disclosed in the present application. The specification and examples are intended to be exemplary only.

[0103] It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the exact construction that has been described above and shown in the drawings, and that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof.
