Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of washing machines, in particular to an observation glass for a washing machine with a light strip effect. Background Art

[0002] A washing machine, an indispensable appliance in modern homes, generally refers to a machine that uses water as its primary cleaning fluid, as opposed to dry cleaning, which uses specialized cleaning solutions and is typically performed by a dedicated person. Common washing machines today feature a drum for placing clothes. On one side of the drum is a door frame hinged to the outer casing, fitted with a transparent viewing glass, allowing the user to observe the inside of the machine at all times.

[0003] However, existing washing machines have certain limitations in the design of the observation glass. The observation glass is basically fixed to the door frame and is not easy to disassemble and replace. This brings great inconvenience to people during actual use. For example, when the observation glass is damaged, scratched, or has stains that are difficult to remove, the inability to easily disassemble and replace it not only affects the aesthetics of the washing machine, but may also affect the user's observation of the internal situation of the washing machine, thereby affecting the normal use of the washing machine. In addition, for some users with special needs, such as users who need to personalize or upgrade the observation glass, the fixed observation glass cannot meet their needs. In the daily cleaning and maintenance process, since the observation glass cannot be disassembled, it also brings certain difficulties to the cleaning work. It is difficult to thoroughly clean every corner of the observation glass, which may cause bacteria to grow and affect the sanitary condition of the washing machine. In summary, the design of the existing washing machine observation glass fixed to the door frame has many disadvantages and is in urgent need of improvement. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 A washing machine observation glass with a light strip effect includes a door frame 1, an observation glass body 2 and a basin body 3. The door frame 1 is provided with a mounting groove 4 for installing the observation glass body 2, and a ring-shaped light strip 6 is installed on the observation glass body 2. A rotating chamber 7 and a transmission chamber 8 are provided inside the door frame 1. A screw 9 is provided in the rotating chamber 7 and the transmission chamber 8 for rotating together. A positioning block 10 is provided in the rotating chamber 7 and is threadedly connected to the screw 9 through a limiting mechanism. The positioning block 10 is connected to the observation glass body 2 through the positioning mechanism. A rotating rod 5 extending into the transmission chamber 8 is installed on the door frame 1, and a transmission ring 13 is rotatably installed in the transmission chamber 8. The rotating rod 5 is connected to the transmission ring 13 through a rotating mechanism, and the transmission ring 13 is connected to the screw 9 through a transmission mechanism.

[0026] The limiting mechanism includes a mounting block 11 mounted on the positioning block 10, and a slide rod 12 is provided in the rotating cavity 7 and slides through the mounting block 11. The mounting block 11 cooperates with the slide rod 12 to limit the positioning block 10, so that it does not rotate with the screw 9 and cannot be separated from the screw 9.

[0027] The positioning mechanism includes a retaining ring 18 mounted on the viewing glass body 2. The retaining ring 18 is provided with a positioning slot 19 corresponding to the positioning block 10. Once the positioning block 10 enters the positioning slot 19, the viewing glass body 2 is securely mounted on the door frame 1. The retaining ring 18 is adhesively attached to the viewing glass body 2.

[0028] The rotating mechanism includes a driving gear 16 mounted on the rotating rod 5, and a driving ring gear 17 mounted on the transmission ring 13, which meshes with the driving gear 16. The transmission mechanism also includes a transmission gear 15 mounted on the screw 9, and a transmission ring gear 14 mounted on the transmission ring 13, which meshes with the transmission gear 15. The teeth on the driving gear 16, driving ring gear 17, transmission gear 15, and transmission ring gear 14 are not shown; these multiple components mesh with each other to effectively transmit power.

[0029] The vertical cross-section of the mounting groove 4 is Z-shaped, and the annular light strip 6 is installed on the back of the observation glass body 2. The mounting groove 4 provides mounting controls for the observation glass body 2 and the annular light strip 6. The outer surface of the observation glass body 2 is flush with the outer surface of the door frame 1.

[0030] When the utility model is used, the door frame 1 is movably installed on the drum washing machine, the basin body 3 is installed on the back of the door frame 1, and the observation glass body 2 is installed in the installation groove 4 on the front of the door frame 1. With the help of the annular light strip 6, the clothes in the washing machine can be clearly observed, and bright light can also be provided at night.

[0031] When the observation glass body 2 needs to be maintained or replaced, it needs to be disassembled. At this time, the part of the rotating rod 5 outside the door frame 1 is rotated, and it can drive the transmission ring 13 to rotate with the help of the active gear 16 and the active ring gear 17. The transmission ring 13 can drive the screw 9 to rotate with the help of the transmission ring gear 14 and the transmission gear 15. When the screw 9 rotates, the positioning block 10 can move and shrink into the rotating cavity 7. At this time, it is disengaged from the positioning groove 19 on the fixing ring 18. When it is completely disengaged from the positioning groove 19, the fixing ring 18 loses its limit, and the observation glass body 2 can be directly disassembled.

[0032] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
