Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a household appliance. Background Art

[0002] For boxes with functional inner cavities, such as steamers, ovens, dishwashers, etc., a door that can open or cover the opening is usually provided at the opening of the box due to functional requirements, and during the use of the box, the door needs to be locked relative to the box by a door lock structure. As shown in the "Door lock structure for household appliances and household appliances" disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent application number 202321121418.9 (publication number CN219691291U).

[0003] However, if the door lock structure fails, the door will automatically open under the action of gravity. For kitchen appliances such as steamers, ovens, and dishwashers, the hot steam inside will overflow after the door is opened, which can easily scald the user. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a household appliance which can prevent the door from opening automatically in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: a household appliance, comprising

[0006] A box body, the front side of which is open to form an opening;

[0007] The door body, the lower part of which is rotatably connected to the box body, so as to open or close the opening of the box body, and when the door body closes the opening, a part of the door body is embedded in the opening;

[0008] It is characterized by that it also includes

[0009] The friction member is a flexible member, which is arranged on the side wall of the box body and located in the opening. When the door body is closed, the friction member is squeezed between the box body and the door body.

[0010] In order to position the friction member on the box body, the household appliance further comprises

[0011] A mounting rod, one end of which is connected to the friction member, and a convex portion is provided on the peripheral wall of the mounting rod;

[0012] A through hole is provided on the side wall of the box body, the through hole comprising a central hole for the mounting rod to pass through and a side hole for the convex portion to pass through, the side holes being located beside the central hole and being connected, when the convex portion passes through the through hole from the inside to the outside, the mounting rod can be rotated until the convex portion is staggered with the side hole and abuts against the outer wall surface of the side wall of the box body, the friction member abuts against the inner wall surface of the side wall of the box body, and the convex portion and the friction member cooperate to achieve positioning relative to the box body.

[0013] In order to improve the reliability of the protrusion abutting against the side wall of the box body, the protrusion is a flexible part that can be interference-fitted with the outer wall surface of the side wall of the box body.

[0014] The convex portion may have a variety of structural forms, one of which is that the wall surface of the convex portion facing the friction member is in an arc-shaped structure arched toward the friction member. During the rotation of the mounting rod, the convex portion will be pressed tighter and tighter.

[0015] Another structural form of the convex part is: the wall surface of the convex part facing the friction member includes an inclined surface and a plane, the inclined surface is inclined toward the friction member along the circumference of the mounting rod, the plane faces the outer wall surface of the side wall of the box body, and the plane can be interference fit with the outer wall surface of the side wall of the box body. During the rotation of the mounting rod, the inclined surface plays a guiding role, and the rotation is relatively smooth in the early stage. As the rotation angle of the mounting rod increases, the plane and the outer wall surface of the side wall of the box body are pressed against each other and pressed more and more tightly.

[0016] Preferably, there are a plurality of protrusions, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the mounting rod, which has a good positioning effect on the friction member.

[0017] In order to facilitate the closing of the door, the friction part is a conical surface that gradually expands in diameter along the direction in which the mounting rod passes through the through hole. In this way, when the door just contacts the friction part, the inclined surface will not produce too much resistance to the closing of the door. As the door continues to close, the friction part will be squeezed and deformed, increasing the resistance when the door is opened.

[0018] Preferably, a side plate is provided outside the side wall of the box body, a cavity is formed between the side plate and the side wall of the box body, and the mounting rod and the protrusion are located in the cavity after passing through the through hole, so as to shield the mounting rod and improve the aesthetics, and prevent the mounting rod from being damaged by external forces.

[0019] Preferably, the friction member is provided on both the left and right walls of the box body, so that the force is evenly applied when the door is opened and closed, and the door opening and closing feels good.

[0020] The household appliance may be a steamer, an oven, etc., or may be a washing machine capable of washing dishes and / or fruits and vegetables.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: the utility model provides a friction part, so that when the door body is closed, there is friction between the door body and the box body. Even if the door lock structure fails to lock the door body, the door body is not easy to open automatically due to the friction, thereby improving the safety of household appliances.

[0031] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the household appliance of the preferred embodiment includes a box body 1, a door body 2, a friction member 3 and a mounting rod 4. The front side of the box body 1 is open to form an opening 11. The lower part of the door body 2 is rotatably connected to the box body 1, so as to open or close the opening 11 of the box body 1. When the door body 2 closes the opening 11, the door body 2 is partially embedded in the opening 11. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The friction member 3 is a flexible member, such as a silicone member, a rubber member, etc. The friction member 3 is arranged on the side wall of the box body 1 and is located in the opening 11. When the door body 2 is closed, the friction member 3 is squeezed between the box body 1 and the door body 2. There is friction between the door body 2 and the box body 1. Even if the door lock structure fails to lock the door body 2, the door body 2 is not easy to open automatically due to the friction, thereby improving the safety of household appliances.

[0035] like Figures 4 to 8As shown, the friction member 3 is positioned on the side wall of the box body 1 through the mounting rod 4, one end of the mounting rod 4 is connected to the friction member 3, a convex portion 41 is provided on the peripheral wall of the mounting rod 4, and a through hole 12 is provided on the side wall of the box body 1, the through hole 12 includes a central hole 121 for the mounting rod 4 to pass through and a side hole 122 for the convex portion 41 to pass through, the side hole 122 is located beside the central hole 121 and is connected, when the convex portion 41 passes through the through hole 12 from the inside to the outside (the inside refers to the inside of the box body 1, and the outside refers to the outside of the box body 1), the mounting rod 4 can be rotated until the convex portion 41 is staggered with the side hole 122 and abuts against the outer wall surface of the side wall of the box body 1, at this time, the friction member 3 abuts against the inner wall surface of the side wall of the box body 1, and the convex portion 41 and the friction member 3 cooperate to achieve positioning relative to the box body 1.

[0036] The protrusion 41 can be a hard part that abuts against the side wall of the box body 1. Preferably, the protrusion 41 is a flexible part that can have an interference fit with the outer wall surface of the side wall of the box body 1 and has good stability in abutting against the side wall of the box body 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the wall surface of the convex portion 41 facing the friction member 3 includes a connected inclined surface 411 and a plane 412, the inclined surface 411 is inclined toward the friction member 3 along the circumference of the mounting rod 4, and the plane 412 faces the outer wall surface of the side wall of the box body 1, and the plane 412 can be interference-fitted with the outer wall surface of the side wall of the box body 1. During the rotation of the mounting rod 4, the inclined surface 411 plays a guiding role, and the rotation is relatively smooth in the early stage. As the rotation angle of the mounting rod 4 increases, the plane 412 abuts against the outer wall surface of the side wall of the box body 1 and is pressed more and more tightly.

[0038] There are multiple protrusions 41, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting rod 4, which has a good positioning effect on the friction member 3. In this embodiment, there are two protrusions 41.

[0039] A side panel 13 is provided on the outside of the side wall of the box body 1, and a cavity 10 is formed between the side panel 13 and the side wall of the box body 1. The mounting rod 4 and the protrusion 41 are located in the cavity 10 after passing through the through hole 12, which can shield the mounting rod 4 for good aesthetics and prevent external force from damaging the mounting rod 4.

[0040] In this embodiment, the friction member 3 is a conical surface 31 that gradually expands in diameter along the direction in which the mounting rod 4 passes through the through hole 12. In this way, when the door body 2 just contacts the friction member 3, the inclined surface will not produce too much resistance to the closing of the door body 2. As the door body 2 continues to close, the friction member 3 will be squeezed and deformed, increasing the resistance when the door body 2 is opened.

[0041] The left and right walls of the box body 1 are both provided with friction members 3, so that the force is evenly applied when the door is opened and closed, and the door opening and closing feels good.

[0042] The household appliance may be a steamer, an oven, etc. In this embodiment, the household appliance is a washing machine capable of washing dishes and / or fruits and vegetables.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] like Fig. 9 As shown, the structure of the protrusion 41 of this embodiment is different from that of the embodiment 1, and the rest may refer to the embodiment 1.

[0045] The wall surface of the convex portion 41 facing the friction member 3 is in an arc-shaped structure arched toward the friction member 3 . During the rotation of the mounting rod 4 , the convex portion 41 will be pressed tighter and tighter.
