[0061] Figures 1 to 8 The present application provides an embodiment of a foldable washing machine cover, which includes a front cover 1, a rear cover 2 and a magnetic assembly.

[0062] The front cover 1 includes a front housing 11, a front frame 12 and a front rib plate 13. The front frame 12 is arranged in the front housing 11. The front rib plate 13 is connected to the edge of the front frame 12. The outer side of the front rib plate 13 forms a front mating surface 131 that exposes the front housing 11. The rear cover 2 includes a rear housing 21, a rear frame 22 and a rear rib plate 23. The rear frame 22 is arranged in the rear housing 21. The rear rib plate 23 is connected to the edge of the rear frame 22. The outer side of the rear rib plate 23 forms a rear mating surface 231 that exposes the rear housing 21. The magnetic assembly includes a first magnet 3 and a second magnet 4. The first magnet 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the front rib plate 13, and the second magnet 4 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rear rib plate 23.

[0063] Among them, the front rib plate 13 and the rear rib plate 23 are hinged. When the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 are in the unfolded state, the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 are used to attract each other under the action of magnetic force, squeezing the front rib plate 13 and the rear rib plate 23 to make the front mating surface 131 and the rear mating surface 231 fit together.

[0064] The foldable washing machine cover of the present application can be applied to household appliances such as pulsator washing machines. The side of the front cover 1 away from the rear cover 2 is used to be movably connected to the plate seat 6 of the pulsator washing machine, and the plate seat 6 is formed in the middle with a loading port for putting clothes into the washing machine. The foldable washing machine cover can open or close the loading port of the plate seat 6.

[0065] The inner side of the front rib plate 13 is the side away from the rear cover 2, and the inner side of the rear rib plate 23 is the side away from the front cover 1. Therefore, the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 will not interfere with the cooperation of the front mating surface 131 and the rear mating surface 231. The front mating surface 131 and the rear mating surface 231 can fit tightly without leaving any gap, which is conducive to the foldable washing machine cover to maintain its integrity in the unfolded state. During the unfolding and folding process of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2, the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 will not be in direct contact, avoiding problems such as wear and falling off. In addition, the front rib plate 13 and the rear rib plate 23 support each other, and are not easily deformed even if squeezed by the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 for a long time.

[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 are in the unfolded state, the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 can play a positioning role to ensure the stable matching of the front mating surface 131 and the rear mating surface 231. When the front rib plate 13 and the rear rib plate 23 are close to each other, the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 will be quickly adsorbed, playing a booster role and improving the feel of use.

[0067] The front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 can be quickly switched between the unfolded state and the folded state. Due to the positioning effect of the magnetic component, the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 can be kept in the unfolded state for use. When the user opens the foldable washing machine cover, the magnetic force between the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 can be disconnected by slightly twisting the front cover 1 to switch to the folded state.

[0068] The materials of the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 include but are not limited to plastic, metal, glass, etc. The first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 can be permanent magnets.

[0072] Specifically, the number of the first magnets 3 and the second magnets 4 are equal, and their positions correspond one to one. When the front rib plate 13 and the rear rib plate 23 are in contact with each other, the corresponding first magnets 3 and the second magnets 4 are closest to each other to ensure a stronger magnetic force.

[0073] The first magnet 3 can be fixedly connected to the front rib plate 13 by bonding, clamping, screwing or other methods. The second magnet 4 can be fixedly connected to the rear rib plate 23 by bonding, clamping, screwing or other methods.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, a groove is formed on the inner side of the front rib plate 13, and the first magnet 3 fits in the groove of the front rib plate 13. The groove can position the first magnet 3, prevent the first magnet 3 from falling off, and ensure that the first magnet 3 corresponds to the second magnet 4. The groove on the inner side of the front rib plate 13 can be surrounded by a rib plate.

[0075] In a specific embodiment, a groove is formed on the inner side of the rear rib plate 23, and the second magnet 4 fits in the groove of the rear rib plate 23. The groove can position the second magnet 4, prevent the second magnet 4 from falling off, and ensure that the second magnet 4 corresponds to the first magnet 3.
