[0041] The present invention provides a control panel for a dishwasher. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the dishwasher comprises a panel body 1, a PCB board 2, and a cover 3. The control panel is mounted on the dishwasher door. The door is pivotally mounted to the dishwasher's body opening to open and close the opening, allowing for the placement and removal of dishes into the dishwasher. The front of the door is used to mount a glass panel. The back of the panel body 1 is used to mount the PCB board 2 and cover 3. The PCB board 2 includes a board 21 and terminals (not shown). The board 21 is mounted on the back of the panel body 1. The cover 3 is mounted on the back of the panel body 1 and is capable of accommodating the board 21.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a PCB board mounting position 11 is provided on the back of the panel body 1; specifically, a first side wall 111 protruding outward is provided on the back of the panel body 1, and the first side wall 111 is enclosed on the back of the panel body 1 to form a PCB board mounting position 11, and the PCB board mounting position 11 is used to install the PCB board 2. The PCB board mounting position 11 is respectively provided with multiple first clips 13 and multiple third clips 15, and the PCB board 2 can be mounted on the PCB board mounting position 11 with the help of the multiple first clips 13 and the multiple third clips 15; specifically, the multiple first clips 13 and the multiple third clips 15 are all provided on the first side wall 111, the first clip 13 is located on the first side wall 111 of the first side of the PCB board mounting position 11, and the third clip 15 is located on the first side wall 111 on the second side of the PCB board mounting position 11. The first side of the PCB board mounting position 11 is arranged opposite to the second side of the PCB board mounting position 11, so that the first clip 13 and the third clip 15 are arranged opposite to each other, the first clip 13 is used to be clamped with the first side of the board body 21, and the third clip 15 is used to be clamped with the second side of the board body 21. The first side of the board body 21 is arranged opposite to the second side of the board body 21, and the first side of the board body 21 and the second side of the board body 21 are respectively two sides in the width direction of the board body 21. It should be noted that the number of first buckles 13 is not limited to 4 as shown in the figure, and can be 2, 3, 5, etc.; the number of third buckles 15 is not limited to 4 as shown in the figure, and can be 2, 3, 5, etc.

[0043] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, the root of the first clip 13 is set on the first side wall 111 of the panel body 1, and the first clip 13 extends outward as a whole. The first clip 13 includes a hook portion 132 and a base 131; the base 131 is a frame-shaped structure, wherein a hollow structure 1311 is provided in the middle of the base 131 to form the base 131 into a frame-shaped structure, and the top edge of the base 131 extends in the direction toward the root of the first clip 13 to form a cantilever structure 133, and the outer side surface of the base 131 is provided with a reinforcing rib 1312 protruding outward, and the reinforcing rib 1312 extends from the inner end of the base 131 to the inner end of the base 131. The thickness of the reinforcing rib 1312 extending to the outer end of the base 131 is 2.5-3 mm. The reinforcing rib 1312 can enhance the stability of the base 131 and prevent the base 131 from cracking; the hook 132 is formed on the cantilever structure 133. Since the cantilever structure 133 can be elastically deformed, the hook 132 has a certain elasticity, wherein the hook 132 is located on the inner side of the hollow structure 1311, and there is a gap between the hook 132 and the inner wall of the hollow structure 1311, so that the hook 132 has a certain elastic deformation space on the inner side of the hollow structure 1311. In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the first clip 13, when the PCB board 2 wants to disengage from the PCB board mounting position 11 after being subjected to force, the hook portion 132 will deflect inward based on the root of the first clip 13 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the cantilever structure 133 after being subjected to force, and the base portion 131 also absorbs most of the force due to the elastic deformation of the cantilever structure 133, thereby reducing the degree of outward deformation, thereby achieving a better restraint effect, reducing the possibility of the PCB board 2 disengaging, and improving the installation stability of the PCB board 2.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, the hook portion 132 has an insertion surface 1321, which is inclined upward in a direction close to the outer end of the base 131, so that the hook portion 132 does not hinder the board body 21 from being installed on the PCB board mounting position 11 toward the back of the panel body 1. A groove 13211 is provided on the insertion surface 1321 to enhance the toughness of the hook portion 132, thereby preventing the hook portion 132 from being cracked by stress during installation.

[0045] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a terminal mounting position 19 is also provided on the back of the panel body 1. The terminal mounting position 19 is close to the PCB board mounting position 11. Specifically, the terminal mounting position 19 is recessed inward. The terminal mounting position 19 is provided with two second clips 14 extending laterally and opposite to each other. The terminal of the PCB board 2 is suitable for being installed in the terminal mounting position 19 through the second clips 14. The second clips 14 can limit the displacement of the terminal toward the outside of the board body 21, thereby preventing the terminal from falling out of the board body 21 under extreme transportation conditions.

[0046] Continue to refer Figure 8 and Figure 9 The terminal mounting position 19 is also provided with two guide ribs 18. The terminals of the PCB board 2 can be engaged with the second clips 14 by means of the guide ribs 18, thereby allowing the terminals of the PCB board 2 to be installed in the terminal mounting position 19. By providing the guide ribs 18, the embodiment of the utility model allows the terminals of the PCB board 2 to be slidably installed along the guide ribs 18 to the terminal mounting position 19, making it easier for assemblers to install the terminals of the PCB board 2 and improving the efficiency of assembling the control panel of the dishwasher. Furthermore, the guide rib 18 is away from one end of the second clip 14 and is inclined toward the side of the PCB board facing the back of the panel body 1, thereby facilitating the sliding installation of the terminals into the terminal mounting position 19, further improving the efficiency of assembling the control panel of the dishwasher.

[0047] like Figure 10 As shown, the PCB 2 further includes two spring groups, each comprising three spring members 22. The spring groups are disposed on the back of the board 21, which faces the back of the panel body 1. One spring group is located on one side of the board 21 in the longitudinal direction, and the other spring group is located on the other side of the board 21 in the longitudinal direction. The three spring members 22 in each spring group are spaced apart along the width of the board 21. One end of the spring member 22 is connected to the back of the board 21, and the other end of the spring member 22 passes through the panel body 1 and abuts the glass panel. As a result, the board 21 abuts against the first and third latches 13 and 15 due to the elastic restoring force of the spring members 22, thereby improving the installation stability of the PCB 2 and ensuring that the board 21 is more securely mounted on the back of the panel body 1. It should be noted that the number of spring members 22 in each spring group is not limited to the three shown in the figure, and can be two, four, five, or the like.

[0048] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the PCB mounting position 11 is further provided with two spring mounting hole groups, which are arranged correspondingly to the spring member groups. The spring mounting holes 17 are used to allow the spring members 22 to pass through. The edges of the spring mounting holes 17 extend toward the PCB board 2 to form sidewalls 171, forming ribs around the spring mounting holes 17. One spring mounting hole group is located on one side of the PCB mounting position 11 in the longitudinal direction, and the other spring mounting hole group is located on one side of the PCB mounting position 11 in the longitudinal direction. The multiple spring mounting holes 17 in each spring mounting hole group are spaced apart from each other from top to bottom along the width of the PCB mounting position 11. It should be noted that the number of spring mounting holes 17 in each spring mounting hole group is not limited to the three shown in the figure, and can be two, four, five, etc.

[0049] When installing the PCB board 2 in the PCB board mounting position 11, the assembler needs to align the spring member 22 with the spring mounting hole 17 so that the other end of the spring member 22 can pass through the corresponding spring mounting hole 17 and abut the glass panel on the front of the panel body 1. However, in actual assembly work, it has been found that aligning multiple spring members 22 with the corresponding multiple spring mounting holes 17 is quite difficult. Moreover, because the board body 21 is fixed by the first clip 13 and the third clip 15, when installing the PCB board 2, the board body 21 needs to be tilted at a certain angle before it can be snap-fitted into the PCB board mounting position 11. When the board body 21 is tilted, the sidewall 171 of the spring mounting hole 17 will hinder the tilting of the board body 21, further increasing the difficulty of aligning the spring member 22 with the spring mounting hole 17.

[0050] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0051] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the present invention configures the lowest spring mounting hole 17 in each spring mounting hole group as a waist hole. The waist hole can be an elliptical hole or an oblong hole extending along the width of the PCB mounting position 11. This configuration increases the hollow area of ​​the spring mounting hole 17, thereby increasing the adjustment space for aligning the spring member 22 with the spring mounting hole 17. This reduces the difficulty of aligning the spring member 22 with the spring mounting hole 17 and improves the installation efficiency of the assembler.

[0052] Furthermore, each spring mounting hole group of the present invention includes at least a first spring mounting hole 17a and a second spring mounting hole 17b arranged adjacent to each other, and the second spring mounting hole 17b is arranged as a waist hole, wherein the hole edge of the first spring mounting hole 17a extends toward the PCB board 2 to form a first hole side wall 171a, and the side of the end face of the first hole side wall 171a close to the second spring mounting hole 17b is arranged as a slope 1711a; the hole edge of the second spring mounting hole 17b extends toward the PCB board 2 to form a second hole side wall 171b, and the side of the second hole side wall 171b close to the first spring mounting hole 17a is provided with a notch 1711b. When the PCB board 2 needs to be installed on the PCB board mounting position 11, the second side of the board body 21 is tilted toward the back side of the panel body 1 so that the overall tilt angle of the board body 21 corresponds to the tilt angle of the inclined surface 1711a, and then the second side of the board body 21 is brought close to the notch 1711b position. At the same time, the second side of the board body 21 is fastened by the third clip 15, and then the spring member 22 is aligned and passed through the corresponding spring mounting hole 17, and finally the first side of the board body 21 is pressed so that the first side of the board body 21 is fastened by the first clip 13, and finally the installation of the PCB board 2 is completed; through the above-mentioned arrangement of the utility model, the inclined surface 1711a structure of the first spring mounting hole 17a and the notch 1711b structure of the second spring mounting hole 17b provide a certain space for the tilting of the board body 21, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the board body 21 and further improving the installation efficiency of the assembler.

[0053] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, a cover mounting position 12 is provided on the back of the panel body 1, and the cover mounting position 12 is used to install the cover 3. Specifically, a second side wall 121 protruding outward is provided on the back of the panel body 1. The second side wall 121 is enclosed on the back of the panel body 1 to form the cover mounting position 12. The projection area of ​​the cover mounting position 12 on the back of the panel body 1 covers the projection area of ​​the PCB board mounting position 11 on the back of the panel body 1; the cover mounting position 12 is provided with two fourth clips 16, and the fourth clips 16 are used to install and fix the cover 3 on the cover mounting position 12, specifically, two fourth clips 16 are both set on the second side wall 121, one fourth clip 16 is set on the second side wall 121 on the first side of the cover body mounting position 12, and the other fourth clip 16 is set on the second side wall 121 on the second side of the cover body mounting position 12, the first side of the cover body mounting position 12 and the second side of the cover body mounting position 12 are arranged opposite to each other, one fourth clip 16 is used to fix the first side of the cover body 3, and the other fourth clip 16 is used to fix the second side of the cover body 3, and the first side of the cover body 3 and the second side of the cover body 3 are arranged opposite to each other. The cover body 3 can be installed on the cover body mounting position 12 with the help of the fourth clips 16, and the cover body 3 can accommodate the PCB board 2, such as Figure 2As shown, the cover 3 is also provided with a plurality of fastening screw holes (not shown), and the cover 3 can be mounted on the cover mounting position 12 using the fastening screw holes and fastening screws. The present invention seals the PCB board 2 by providing the cover 3, thereby preventing external steam from contacting the PCB board 2 and causing damage. It should be noted that the number of fourth clips 16 is not limited to the two shown in the figure, and can also be three, four, five, etc.

[0054] However, during the actual assembly work, it was found that if the cover body 3 is fixedly installed on the back of the panel body 1 by the fourth clip 16 and / or the fastening screws to seal the PCB board 2, a gap will exist between the installation end surface of the cover body 3 and the back of the panel body 1, so that external steam can enter the interior of the cover body 3 through the gap, causing damage to the PCB board 2.

[0055] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0056] The control panel of the present dishwasher also includes a seal (not shown). The seal is made of rubber, silicone, or waterproof foam and is positioned between the mounting end face of the cover 3 and the back face of the panel body 1 to seal the back face of the panel body 1 against the mounting end face of the cover 3. Specifically, the seal is attached to the mounting end face of the cover 3 along the contour of the mounting end face of the cover 3. The mounting end face of the cover 3 is in contact with the back face of the panel body 1 via the seal. The provision of the seal improves the sealing of the cover 3, thereby preventing external steam from entering the cover 3 and coming into contact with the PCB 2.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the control panel of the dishwasher of the present invention further includes a frame member 4 , which is arranged on the upper edge of the panel body 1 and extends along the length direction of the panel body 1 . The frame member 4 is made of ABS plastic.

[0058] During the production of the frame component 4, it was discovered that since the mold of the frame component 4 could not be equipped with a water channel for cooling, the frame component 4 could only rely on the mold itself to cool naturally after forming, resulting in insufficient cooling of the newly formed frame component 4. Shrinkage marks and air marks were found on the outer surface of the produced frame component 4, affecting the appearance of the frame component 4.

[0059] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0060] The utility model sets the outer surface of the frame component 4 to a frosted surface, thereby reducing shrinkage marks and air marks on the outer surface of the frame component 4 and improving the beauty of the frame component 4.

[0061] The present invention also provides a dishwasher comprising the control panel of any of the above embodiments. It is understood that since the dishwasher is equipped with the above control panel, it possesses all the technical effects of the above control panel, which will not be further described here.

[0062] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
