[0032] Here’s how it works:

[0033] When the program control device for washing machine is to be used, the electronic components in the control housing 1 can be electrically connected to the washing machine, and the program control activities of the washing machine can be realized in sequence. When washing is to be done, the payment activities can be realized through the coin modules 4 or the card swiping areas 6 respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the front right side of the front cover 2. When the payment activities for washing are completed, the control panel 3 arranged on the left side of the coin module 4 can be used to control the washing, so as to realize the flexible selection of the washing mode and the washing time, and cope with the use of different washing situations.

[0034] In order to improve the convenient connection between the control housing 1 and the outside, an adjustable connecting device 8 is provided at the rear side of the control housing 1, that is, a clamp 84 provided at the rear end of the moving block 82, which can be clamped with the external round tube to realize the bolt locking activity, so that the overall installation of the control housing 1 is convenient and fast, without the need to perform multiple bolt locking activities, which greatly improves the convenience of installation of the control device;

[0035] If the lateral installation position of the control device needs to be adjusted laterally, the push shaft 852 of the horizontal adjustment locking assembly 85 provided at the upper end of the moving block 82 can be pressed down to make the push shaft 852 move downward as a whole, and the compression spring 853 is squeezed respectively, and the driving connection rotating member 854 at the grooves opened on both sides of the lower end is pushed, so that the rotating members 854 on both sides rotate synchronously and oppositely to cooperate, so as to realize the lifting transmission of the lifting frame 855 connected to the outside. As the lifting frame 855 moves up and down, the pressure plate 856 fastened to the lower end of the lifting frame 855 can be moved up synchronously to quickly realize the unlocking of the protrusions 857 provided on both sides of the outer end and the two rows of circular holes opened at the upper end of the second connecting plate 83. In this way, the moving block 82 can be unlocked and locked, and the first connecting plate 81 and the second connecting plate 83 can be locked. The connecting plates 83 can be adjusted to move horizontally to the left and right to meet the installation requirements of the device. After moving horizontally to the appropriate position, the push shaft 852 can be loosened to make the compression spring 853 rebound and push the push shaft 852 upward. In this way, as the push shaft 852 moves up and resets, the rotating member 854 connected to both sides of the lower end will be driven again to make the rotating member 854 reset and rotate to push down the outer end of the lifting frame 855. When the lifting frame 855 moves down, the pressure plate 856 connected to the lower end of the lifting frame 855 can quickly realize the plug-in locking of the protruding blocks 857 on both sides and the new round holes on both sides of the upper end of the second connecting plate 83, thereby ensuring the firmness of the moving block 82 after the horizontal adjustment, thereby achieving the advantages of flexible horizontal adjustment of the clamp 84 to cope with different installation conditions.

[0036] Secondly, in order to further improve the convenience and flexibility of installing the clamp 84, a direction adjustment component 86 is provided inside the moving block 82 to realize the rotation adjustment of the clamp 84, that is, the clamp 84 is rotated as a whole to synchronously drive the connecting shaft 861 connected to the front end. As the connecting shaft 861 rotates, the locking shafts 862 plugged in at the upper and lower ends are pushed in advance, so that the locking shafts 862 on both sides are pre-moved away from the connecting shaft 861. As the locking shafts 862 on both sides move in opposite directions, the connecting frame 863 fastened at the outer end is smoothly moved up or down along the outer side of the stabilizing frame 864. Secondly, as the connecting frames 863 on both sides move in opposite directions up and down, the springs 865 connected to the two sides of the outer end of the connecting frame 863 are squeezed. When the groove opened on the outer side of the connecting shaft 861 is opposite to the plug-in end of the locking shaft 862, the compressed spring 865 will be released from the compressed state to quickly realize the push-back of the connecting frame 863, so that the connecting frame 863 drives the corresponding connected locking shaft 862 to move, so that the locking shaft 862 is quickly plugged into the groove opened on the outer side of the connecting shaft 861 to realize the plug-in locking limit activity. In this way, it is only necessary to directly rotate the clamp 84 so that the connecting shaft 861 cooperates with the groove opened inside and the elastic force of the spring 865, so that the locking shafts 862 on both sides can be intermittently plugged in and locked to realize convenient rotation adjustment and locking, thereby achieving the advantage of auxiliary rotation adjustment of the clamp 84 and further enhancing the flexibility of use of the clamp 84.

[0037] The utility model provides a washing machine program control device, which is provided with an adjustable connecting device 8, that is, a push shaft 852 arranged inside the horizontal adjustment locking component 85 can perform synchronous and opposite transmission of the rotating parts 854 arranged on both sides of the lower end, so that the rotating parts 854 arranged on both sides can quickly lift the lifting frame 855 and the pressure plate 856 to quickly release the lock of the protrusion 857 and the upper end of the second connecting plate 83. In this way, the moving block 82 can drive the clamp 84 to achieve rapid horizontal adjustment of the use position, thereby achieving the advantage of flexible horizontal adjustment of the clamp 84 to cope with different installation conditions, and a direction adjustment component 86 is provided, that is, the connecting shaft 861 can be intermittently rotated and plugged and locked with the locking shafts 862 arranged at the upper and lower ends under the cooperation of the groove opened on the outer side, the guide of the fixing frame 864 and the elastic force of the spring 865, so that the clamp 84 can be flexibly rotated and adjusted as a whole, thereby achieving the advantage of auxiliary rotation adjustment of the clamp 84 and further enhancing the flexibility of use of the clamp 84.
