[0043] Refer to Figures 1-9 , which is an embodiment of the washing device of the present utility model. The washing device can be a pulsator washing machine, a shoe washing machine, etc. The present utility model will be described by taking a pulsator washing machine as an example. The washing machine includes a cabinet and a control panel base provided on the cabinet. In order to better show the innovative points of the present utility model, only the cabinet and the control panel base are shown in the accompanying drawings for the washing machine, and other structures of the washing machine are not shown. For simplicity, only the rear part structure of the control panel base is shown.
[0044] As Figure 1 shown, the washing device includes a cabinet 100 and a control panel base 300 provided on the cabinet 100.
[0045] Corner plates 200 are provided at the four corners of the cabinet 100, and the corner plates 200 are used to suspend the outer tub of the washing machine through the suspension rods.
[0046] The control panel base 300 is arranged on the top of the cabinet 100 and its rear part protrudes from the back panel of the cabinet 100.
[0047] As Figure 2 shown, the control panel base 300 includes a base body 310 and a splash guard 320 fixed to the bottom of the base body 310. The splash guard 320 can prevent water from splashing into the inside of the control panel base 300, thereby protecting the internal electronic components and circuits from moisture and ensuring the normal operation of the device.
[0048] Among them, adjacent notches 311 and first mounting holes 312 are formed on the rear side surface of the base body 310.
[0049] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the splash guard 320 is provided with a first fixing part 321 and a second fixing part 322. A groove 3211 is formed on the first fixing part 321, and the notch of the groove 3211 is opposite to the notch 311 on the rear side surface of the base body 310.
[0050] The control panel base 300 is fixedly connected to the corner plate 200 through the first fastener 400 and the second fastener 500. The first fastener and the second fastener 500 can be bolts, screws or other forms of fasteners.
[0051] Specifically, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the first fastener 400 passes through the notch 311 on the base body 310 and passes through the bottom of the groove 3211 on the first fixing part 321 of the splash guard 320 to fasten the splash guard 320 and the corner plate 200.
[0052] Referring to Figure 3 shown, the second fastener 500 passes through the first mounting hole 312 of the base body 310 and the second fixing part 322 of the splash guard 320 to fasten the base body 310 and the splash guard 320.
[0053] By fastening the splash guard 320 and the corner plate 200 with the first fastener 400 and then fastening the base body 310 and the splash guard 320 with the second fastener 500 beside it, the indirect fixation of the base body 310 and the corner plate 200 is achieved.
[0054] Through the indirect fixing method with the splash guard 320 as an intermediary, when the control panel base 300 body is subjected to a drop impact, the impact force can be effectively dispersed and absorbed, avoiding the occurrence of stress concentration, and not causing deformation of the corner plate 200 and cracking of the splash guard 320 and the base body 310.
[0055] In the above-mentioned washing equipment, in the case where the distance between the control panel base 300 and the gusset plate 200 is long and it is not easy to fasten, by using the splash guard 320 as an intermediary, a firm connection between the base body 310 of the panel base and the gusset plate 200 is achieved. At the same time, the stress points are dispersed, the stress is better, and it will not cause deformation of the gusset plate 200 and cracking of the splash guard 320 and the base body 310 of the panel base, making the entire connection structure more stable and reliable, thus ensuring the overall stability of the equipment.
[0056] In this embodiment, the first fastener 400 is specifically in the form of a screw, and threaded holes matching the screw are pre-opened at the bottom of the groove 3211 on the first fixing portion 321 of the splash guard 320. This design enables the screw to be directly screwed into the threaded hole, realizing the fastening connection between the splash guard 320 and the gusset plate 200 without additional nuts or washers, simplifying the installation process and improving the stability and reliability of the connection.
[0057] As Figure 9 shown, a connecting plate portion 210 that bends upward and extends is provided on the gusset plate 200, and a second mounting hole 211 opposite to the threaded hole is opened on the connecting plate portion 210. The first fastener 400 passes through the threaded hole and the second mounting hole 211 to connect the gusset plate 200 and the splash guard 320. Specifically, the splash guard 320 behind the first fixing portion 321 has a plug-in groove portion 327 that protrudes upward, and the connecting plate portion 210 of the gusset plate 200 is inserted into the plug-in groove portion 327 to align the second mounting hole 211 with the threaded hole.
[0058] To ensure that the screw can be smoothly screwed in and achieve sufficient fastening effect, in this embodiment, the length range of the threaded hole on the splash guard 320 is set to 4 - 7 mm, preferably 5 mm. This length range not only ensures sufficient embedding depth of the screw but also avoids the increased processing difficulty and cost caused by excessive length.
[0059] In this embodiment, the second fastener 500 is also in the form of a screw, and a screw post structure matching the screw is provided on the second fixing portion 322 of the splash guard 320. The inside of the screw post structure is provided with threads, enabling the screw to be directly screwed in and fastening the base body 310 of the panel base and the splash guard 320. The design of the screw post structure simplifies the installation process and improves the installation efficiency. At the same time, since the screw is directly screwed into the inside of the screw post, a more compact connection is achieved, effectively preventing connection failure problems caused by loosening.
[0060] In the design of the splash guard 320, as Figure 8As shown, a connecting reinforcing rib 323 is added between the first fixing part 321 and the second fixing part 322 (the two parts are respectively used for connecting with the angle plate 200 and the base body 310 of the disc seat). The connecting reinforcing rib 323 connects these two fixing parts, so that a stable structure is formed between the first fixing part 321 and the second fixing part 322 and the splash guard 320. The connecting reinforcing rib 323 is integrally formed with the first fixing part 321, the second fixing part 322, and the splash guard 320.
[0061] Furthermore, on the upper side of the part where the splash guard 320 extends out of the back plate of the box body 100, several reinforcing ribs 324 are also provided. These reinforcing ribs 324 can be straight reinforcing ribs 324 arranged in parallel or mesh-shaped reinforcing ribs 324 arranged in a cross pattern. The specific shape and quantity are determined according to the design requirements. The design of the upper side reinforcing ribs 324 further improves the bending strength and stability of the extending part of the splash guard 320. It prevents damage to the splash guard 320 caused by external impacts or vibrations, and at the same time improves the overall structural stability of the control disc seat 300 and the box body 100. In this embodiment, the connecting reinforcing rib 323 is designed as a part of the reinforcing rib 324 to simplify the structure.
[0062] See Figure 6 , on the bottom surface of the part where the splash guard 320 extends out of the back plate of the box body 100, a downwardly protruding stop part 325 is provided, and the stop part 325 abuts against the outer side surface of the back plate of the box body 100. The stop part 325 cooperates with other positioning structures on the base body 310 of the disc seat to ensure the stable positioning of the control disc seat 300 on the box body 100.
[0063] In this embodiment, after the splash guard 320 and the base body 310 of the disc seat are fixedly installed first, they are then installed on the box body 100 and fixed to the angle plate 200. The pre-fixed structure between the splash guard 320 and the base body 310 of the disc seat is as follows:
[0064] The front part of the splash guard 320 is positioned with the base body 310 of the disc seat through a plug-in structure. Specifically, corresponding plug-in grooves or plug-in holes and other structures are provided on both sides of the front part of the splash guard 320 (i.e., the side facing the base body 310 of the disc seat); and corresponding plug-in protrusions or plug-in posts and other structures are provided at the corresponding positions on the base body 310 of the disc seat. During installation, the plug-in protrusion or plug-in post is inserted into the plug-in groove or plug-in hole, and the preliminary positioning of the splash guard 320 and the base body 310 of the disc seat can be achieved.
[0065] Furthermore, as Figure 8 , on the bottom surface of the part where the splash guard 320 extends out of the back plate of the box body 100, a third installation hole 326 is opened, and a third fastener passes through the third installation hole 326 and is fixedly connected to the base body 310 of the disc seat to fixedly connect the splash guard 320 and the base body 310 of the disc seat. The third fastener can be a bolt, a screw, or other forms of fasteners.
[0066] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions required to be protected by the present invention.
