[0042] Referring to Figures 1 - 5 , which is an embodiment of the drawer-type washing device of the present utility model. The drawer-type washing device can be a drawer-type dishwasher, a drawer-type shoe washing machine, a drawer-type washing machine, etc.

[0043] As Figure 1 shown, the drawer-type washing device mainly includes an outer box body (not shown), an inner box body 100 and a front door panel 200.

[0044] The inner box body 100 is slidably arranged in the outer box body, which is convenient for users to take out and put back the washing objects.

[0045] At least one hook portion 210 is provided on the rear side surface of the front door panel 200, and these hook portions 210 cooperate with the corresponding hanging portions 110 of the inner box body 100. In this embodiment, the hanging portion 110 is a hanging groove formed on the front side surface of the inner box body 100. By providing the hook portions 210, preliminary fixation between the front door panel 200 and the inner box body 100 can be achieved, enabling the front door panel 200 to be stably suspended on the inner box body 100 without installing the screws 400, and avoiding the displacement of the front door panel 200 during the installation process.

[0046] A plurality of fixing portions are provided around the rear side of the front door panel 200, and screw holes 221 / 231 are formed in the fixing portions for further fixing with the inner box body 100 through fasteners such as screws 400.

[0047] Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the fixing portions include an upper fixing portion 220 located at the upper end of the front door panel 200 and a lower fixing portion 230 located at the lower end of the front door panel 200. Through the hanging of the hook portions 210 and the fixation of the screws 400, the front door panel 200 can be stably connected to the inner box body 100, ensuring that the front door panel 200 will not fall off or shift due to vibration or operation during the operation of the washing device, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the overall structure.

[0048] For the above-mentioned drawer-type washing device, the rear side surface of the front door panel 200 is provided with hook portions 210 and fixing portions. Through the hanging of the hook portions 210 and the fixation of the upper and lower screws 400, the front door panel 200 can be stably connected to the inner box body 100, ensuring that the front door panel 200 will not fall off or shift due to vibration or operation during the operation of the washing device, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the overall structure; in addition, the usage amount of the screws 400 is reduced, the material cost is lowered, and the installation process is simplified; at the same time, the fixing portions are arranged on the rear side of the front door panel 200 and fixed to the outer box body, enabling the concealed installation of the screws 400 and further enhancing the overall aesthetics.

[0049] See Figure 5, the top of the inner box body 100 is provided with a top flange 120, which can provide support for the fixation of the front door panel 200. The upper fixing part 220 protrudes backward from the rear side of the front door panel 200, and the position of the upper fixing part 220 is lower than the top surface of the front door panel 200 to ensure that the upper fixing part 220 can contact the top flange 120 of the inner box body 100. The screw holes 221 on the upper fixing part 220 are opened in the vertical direction. The screw 400 can pass through the screw holes 221 in the vertical direction and pass through the screw holes 121 on the top flange 120 to fix with the top flange 120 of the inner box body 100, thus realizing the stable installation of the front door panel 200. Through the contact between the upper fixing part 220 and the flange, the connection strength between the front door panel 200 and the inner box body 100 can be further enhanced, preventing the front door panel 200 from loosening due to external force or vibration during the operation of the equipment. At the same time, by fixing the upper fixing part 220 with the inner box body 100, the fasteners can be hidden behind the front door panel 200, improving the appearance aesthetics of the equipment.

[0050] In order to further improve the connection strength, in this embodiment, gussets 300 are added around the top of the inner box body 100. The screw 400 passes through the screw holes of the front door panel 200, the gussets 300 and the top flange 120 in sequence to ensure the firm and reliable connection between the components. The setting of the gussets 300 can not only provide a more stable support point for the fasteners, but also effectively disperse the stress on the fasteners, avoiding structural deformation or loosening caused by excessive local stress. Through the design of the gussets 300, the connection between the front door panel 200 and the inner box body 100 is more stable, thereby improving the structural strength and durability of the entire washing equipment. In addition, since the screw passes through the gusset 300 and then fixes with the flange, this multi-level fixing method can further enhance the impact resistance of the front door panel 200.

[0051] In this embodiment, two upper fixing parts 220 are symmetrically arranged. The two upper fixing parts 220 extend in the horizontal direction and form a long strip structure. The design of the long-strip upper fixing part 220 not only increases the fixing area of the front door panel 200, but also can disperse the stress acting on the fixing part, avoiding structural deformation or damage caused by concentrated stress.

[0052] As Figure 4 shown, a screw hole 221 is respectively opened at both ends of the upper fixing part 220 for installing fasteners. By symmetrically installing the screws 400 at both ends, it can ensure that the installation of the front door panel 200 is more balanced and stable, avoiding the inclination or displacement of the front door panel 200 caused by single-point fixing.

[0053] In addition, a number of reinforcing ribs 222 are also provided on the upper fixing part 220. The reinforcing ribs 222 can effectively enhance the structural strength of the upper fixing part 220, preventing the deformation or damage of the upper fixing part 220 caused by excessive force during the installation of the fasteners.

[0054] For the bottom fixation of the front door panel 200, a lower fixing portion 230 protruding downward from the bottom surface of the front door panel 200 is designed in this embodiment. The screw holes 231 on the lower fixing portion 230 are arranged in the horizontal direction, facilitating the horizontal insertion and fixation of fasteners. During installation, the fasteners pass through the screw holes 231 of the lower fixing portion 230 and are connected to the screw holes 131 (such as a structure formed by bending) on the bottom fixing portion 130 at the bottom front side of the inner box body 100, realizing the fastening of the lower part of the front door panel 200 and the inner box body 100, preventing the displacement of the front door panel 200 in the vertical direction, and ensuring the stability and sealing performance of the door panel. Specifically, the bottom front end of the inner box body 100 is bent downward to form the bottom fixing portion 130.

[0055] In this embodiment, three lower fixing portions 230 are evenly spaced at the bottom of the front door panel 200. Through the uniform distribution of multiple lower fixing portions 230, it can be ensured that the fixation of the lower part of the front door panel 200 is more stable and balanced, avoiding the loosening or tilting of the lower structure caused by single-point fixation.

[0056] In this embodiment, two hook portions 210 are symmetrically arranged at the middle positions near the up-and-down direction on the left and right sides of the front door panel 200. By arranging the hook portions 210 on the left and right sides of the front door panel 200 and making them close to the middle position in the up-and-down direction, it can be ensured that the front door panel 200 has good balance and stability when hooked to the inner box body 100. The symmetrical design of the two hook portions 210 can effectively prevent the front door panel 200 from tilting or shifting during the installation process, ensuring the stability of the hooking. In addition, the position design of the hook portions 210 enables the front door panel 200 to withstand external forces from different directions after installation, avoiding problems such as detachment or loosening caused by uneven force.

[0057] Furthermore, two hook portions 210 are also arranged at the position near the bottom of the front door panel 200. By adding hook portions 210 at the bottom of the front door panel 200, the connection strength between the front door panel 200 and the inner box body 100 can be further enhanced, preventing the loosening or displacement of the structure caused by insufficient bottom fixation. The bottom hook portions cooperate with the upper hook portions to form a multi-point fixation structure between the front door panel 200 and the inner box body 100, ensuring that the front door panel 200 can still maintain a stable connection during long-term use. In addition, the setting of the bottom hook portions can also share the force of some screw fixation points, extend the service life of the equipment, and improve the safety performance of the equipment.

[0058] 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, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it is still possible to modify the technical solutions described 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.
