Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of washing machines, and particularly relates to a tempered glass for a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] The window glass of traditional washing machines is made of ordinary glass, and its service strength and corrosion resistance are relatively weak. After long-term use, water stains will adhere to its surface. The inner side of the glass can be kept antibacterial because it is often cleaned by detergent liquid, while the outer side surface of the glass is often ignored. Bacteria often breed due to water stains, and there is a lack of good antibacterial components. Moreover, the glass mechanism of traditional washing machines and the upper cover plate are mostly integrated structures, making disassembly and assembly more complicated and inconvenient for personnel to remove and clean and maintain.

[0003] After retrieval, a tempered glass for a washing machine with antibacterial and wear-resistant properties (Publication No.: CN213389384U) disclosed in the prior art records that "an inner cover plate is provided on one side of the outer cover plate, a conical window glass is assembled on one side of the inner cover plate, the conical window glass, installation holes corresponding to the conical window glass are provided on both the outer cover plate and the inner cover plate, a chuck is provided on the periphery of the conical window glass, first rubber sealing rings corresponding to the chuck are adhesively provided on the mating surfaces of the outer cover plate and the inner cover plate, and bolt holes corresponding to each other are provided on the outer cover plate and the inner cover plate and distributed outside the first rubber sealing rings."; this tempered glass clamps the chuck of the conical window glass through the first rubber sealing rings of the outer cover plate and the inner cover plate, and the raised rings of the first rubber sealing rings are successively embedded in the annular concave rings of the chuck, so that the conical window glass can be hermetically installed with the inner cover plate. The bolt holes of the inner cover plate and the bolt holes of the outer cover plate are installed and connected by bolts to fix the outer cover plate and the inner cover plate. By attaching a photocatalyst antibacterial film to the outer side of the conical window glass, the outer side of the conical window glass can have a good antibacterial effect. However, the surface of this tempered glass lacks corresponding protective structures. During the use of existing washing machines, there is a high probability that the clothes with metal objects or sharp ornaments tumbling and rotating inside the washing machine will scratch the surface of the tempered glass from the inside. Moreover, the conical structure of this window glass will further increase the probability of accidental damage to the window glass by the clothes inside the washing machine, which not only affects the clothes washing effect but also increases the probability of clothes damage and washing machine component damage. In addition, the structure of the window glass is relatively simple, resulting in poor sound insulation effect. Summary of the Utility Model

[0019] In this embodiment, the noise generated when the washing machine washes clothes will be weakened in batches by the protection plate 7, the buffer layer 8, the buffer film 9 and the sound insulation film 12 in sequence, and then it can effectively reduce the interference of the noise generated by the clothes tumbling inside the washing machine to the surrounding environment. And during the process of the clothes tumbling and rotating, the metal objects or sharp ornaments carried by the clothes will first hit the surface of the protection plate 7, and the impact force will be weakened by the protection plate 7, the buffer layer 8 and the buffer film 9 in sequence before acting on the tempered glass plate 11, and then it can effectively reduce the probability of damage to the tempered glass plate 11. If the instantaneous impact of the metal object or sharp ornament is too large and pierces the protection plate 7, the protection plate 7 will prevent the metal object or sharp ornament from further piercing, and the buffer layer 8 will also weaken the impact force of the metal object or sharp ornament again through its own deformation, so as to effectively reduce the probability of the metal object or sharp ornament directly hitting the surface of the tempered glass plate 11, enhance the safety of the tempered glass, and also effectively reduce the probability of the washing machine damaging clothes.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the upper cover plate 1 is composed of a top plate 2 and a bottom plate 3. Both the top plate 2 and the bottom plate 3 are in a zigzag structure. The top plate 2 and the bottom plate 3 are fixedly connected by snap fasteners. Meanwhile, an installation groove is formed on the inner side of the upper surface of the bottom plate 3, and the installation groove is in a square structure.

[0021] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the snap connection between the top plate 2 and the bottom plate 3 can effectively enhance the convenience of loading and unloading the tempered glass. Moreover, the sizes of the installation groove and the protruding part of the positioning component are adapted to each other, which can effectively enhance the stability of the connection between the upper cover plate 1 and the positioning component.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, both the upper positioning frame 4 and the lower positioning frame 5 are in a zigzag structure.

The upper positioning frame 4 and the lower positioning frame 5 are combined together to form a positioning component. Meanwhile, the cross-section of the positioning component is in a Y-shaped structure.

[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the structural settings of the upper positioning frame 4 and the lower positioning frame 5 enable the two to quickly clamp and fix the composite board 10, thus facilitating the subsequent installation of the composite board 10, improving the installation efficiency of the composite board 10, and reducing the installation difficulty of the composite board 10.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the lower surface of the lower positioning frame 5 is fixedly connected with a protection board 7 by snap fasteners. The protection board 7 is in a square structure. The size of the protection board 7 is adapted to the lower surface of the lower positioning frame 5. And the outer side surface of the positioning component is adapted to the inner cavity size of the upper cover plate 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the protection board 7 is made of a transparent plate, which can thus facilitate improving the overall transparency of the tempered glass. And the protection board 7 is connected to the lower positioning frame 5 by snap fasteners, which can facilitate the loading and unloading when the protection board 7 is damaged, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, a plurality of fitting blocks 6 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the inner side surface of the lower opening of the lower positioning frame 5. The fitting blocks 6 are in a cylindrical structure. The buffer layer 8 is in a square structure. Fitting grooves are correspondingly formed on the side surface of the buffer layer 8 at positions opposite to the fitting blocks 6. Meanwhile, the size of the buffer layer 8 is adapted to the lower opening of the lower positioning frame 5.

Therefore, the stability of the connection between the buffer layer 8 and the lower positioning frame 5 can be effectively enhanced, and the buffer layer 8 is made of transparent silica gel material, thereby effectively enhancing the protection effect on the lower surface of the tempered glass.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the composite board 10 is composed of two groups of tempered glass plates 11 and one group of sound insulation films 12. The sound insulation film 12 is made of PVB film, and the two buffer films 9 fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the composite board 10 are both square structures.

[0029] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the buffer film 9 can be made of PET film, which can not only assist the buffer effect on the surface of the composite board 10, but also avoid the problem of accidental scattering of debris after the composite board 10 is broken. At the same time, the setting of the sound insulation film 12 can effectively enhance the noise reduction effect of the tempered glass.
