[0002] Clothing processing equipment mainly includes washing machines, dryers, integrated washer-dryers and shoe washing machines.

[0003] Taking washing machines as an example, existing washing machine cabinets are all equipped with display devices that can display the washing time and progress, etc. Existing display devices mainly include a housing, a light holder, and a display module. The housing is fixedly mounted on the washing machine cabinet, and the display module and light holder are also fixedly mounted on the housing.

[0004] When a washing machine is running, water vapor will enter the display device and condense into water on the inner surface of the display module, which may easily cause the display device to malfunction.

[0005] Therefore, this field needs a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to solve the above technical problem, that is, to solve the problem that condensation water is easily generated on the inner surface of the display module of the existing display device.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a display device, comprising a housing, a sealing member, and a display module and a lamp holder mounted on the housing, wherein the sealing member is located between the display module and the lamp holder to seal a gap between the display module and the lamp holder.

[0008] In a preferred technical solution of the above display device, the sealing component is a sealing gasket, and the sealing gasket is provided with a through hole at a position corresponding to the lamp groove on the lamp holder, and the through hole penetrates the sealing gasket along the thickness direction of the sealing gasket.

[0009] In a preferred technical solution of the above display device, the thickness of the sealing gasket is greater than the gap between the display module and the lamp holder.

[0010] In a preferred technical solution of the above display device, a first annular sealing rib is provided along a circumferential edge of the sealing gasket on a side facing the display module, and the first annular sealing rib is in sealing contact with the display module.

[0011] In a preferred technical solution of the above display device, there are multiple through holes, and a first light-blocking rib is provided between two adjacent through holes on the side of the sealing gasket facing the display module, and the first light-blocking rib is sealed and fitted with the display module.

[0012] In a preferred technical solution of the above display device, a second annular sealing rib is provided on a side of the lamp holder facing the sealing gasket along a circumferential edge of the lamp holder, and the second annular sealing rib is in sealing contact with the sealing gasket.

[0013] In a preferred technical solution of the above display device, a plurality of lamp slots are provided on the lamp holder, and a second light-blocking rib is provided between two adjacent lamp slots on the side of the lamp holder facing the sealing gasket, and the second light-blocking rib is sealed and fitted with the sealing gasket.

[0014] In a preferred technical solution of the above display device, the sealing gasket is a rubber sealing gasket or a cotton sealing gasket.

[0015] In a preferred technical solution of the above display device, the display module includes a display panel and a display film provided on the display panel, and the sealing member is located between the display module and the lamp holder.

[0016] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a clothes processing device, comprising the above-mentioned display device.

[0017] When the above technical solution is adopted, the display device of the present invention can effectively prevent water vapor from entering between the display module and the lamp frame by setting a sealing component between the two to seal the gap between the two, thereby preventing condensation from forming on the inner surface of the display module.

[0018] Furthermore, the display device of the present invention makes the thickness of the sealing gasket greater than the gap between the display module and the lamp frame. When the installation is completed, the sealing gasket is in a compressed state, so that both sides of the sealing gasket can fit more tightly on the display module and the lamp frame.

[0019] Furthermore, the display device of the present invention provides a first annular sealing rib protruding toward the display module on the sealing gasket, so that the first annular sealing rib fits with the display module instead of making the entire sealing gasket fit with the display module. This can reduce the compression of the sealing gasket, thereby reducing the reverse thrust applied to the display module, and further reducing the risk of separation of the display module and the shell.

[0020] Furthermore, the display device of the present invention can effectively avoid the light crosstalk phenomenon by arranging a first light-blocking rib protruding toward the display module on the first surface of the sealing gasket and making the first light-blocking rib seal and fit the display module.

[0021] Furthermore, the display device of the present invention is able to reduce the compression of the sealing gasket by providing a second annular sealing rib protruding toward the sealing gasket on the lamp holder, so that the second annular sealing rib is in contact with the sealing gasket, rather than the entire outer surface of the lamp holder being in contact with the sealing gasket. This reduces the reverse thrust applied to the display module, thereby reducing the risk of separation of the display module from the shell.

[0022] Furthermore, the display device of the present invention can effectively avoid the light crosstalk phenomenon by arranging a second light-blocking rib protruding toward the sealing gasket on the lamp frame and making the second light-blocking rib sealably fit with the sealing gasket.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "connected," and "installed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, to refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] Specifically, the utility model provides a washing machine, which includes a housing and a display device installed on the housing.

[0039] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the display device of the present invention includes a housing 1 and a display module 2 and a lamp holder 3 mounted on the housing 1 .

[0040] Among them, a plurality of different display icons 221 are set on the display module 2, and a light trough 31 is provided on the lamp rack 3 at a position corresponding to the display icon 221. There are multiple light troughs 31, and each light trough 31 is installed with a light source (such as LED, etc.). When the light source is powered on, the display icon 221 corresponding to the light source is illuminated.

[0041] The light source is electrically connected to the main control board of the washing machine, and the main control board controls the on and off state of each light source. The main control board is also preferably installed on the housing 1 of the display device.

[0042] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the connection method between the display module 2 and the shell 1. For example, the display module 2 can be fixed to the shell 1 by gluing, screws or snapping. In addition, the present invention does not limit the connection method between the lamp holder 3 and the shell 1. For example, the lamp holder 3 can be fixed to the shell 1 by snapping or fasteners such as screws.

[0043] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the display module 2 of the present invention includes a display panel 21 and a display film 22 provided on the display panel 21 .

[0044] Among them, the display panel 21 is generally a transparent plastic panel or glass panel, and the display film 22 is installed on the inner surface of the display panel 21 (i.e., the back of the display panel 21). The display film 22 is generally fixed to the display panel 21 by gluing. A plurality of different display icons 221 are provided on the display film 22. When the display icon 221 is illuminated by a light source, the user can see the illuminated icon through the display panel 21.

[0045] More preferably, the display film 22 is a display-touch integrated film, that is, the existing touch film and the display film are made into one film, and the two films are combined into a display-touch integrated film, which can display and touch.

[0046] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a mounting opening 11 is provided on the shell 1, and the shape of the mounting opening 11 is approximately rectangular. The display module 2 and the lamp holder 3 are both installed at the mounting opening 11. The light emitted by the light source installed on the lamp holder 3 just passes through the mounting opening 11 and shines on the display module 2. The display panel 21 and the display film 22 of the display module 2 are also approximately rectangular in shape.

[0047] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the display device of the present invention further includes a sealing member, wherein the sealing member is located between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3 to seal the gap between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3. Specifically, the sealing member is located between the display film 22 of the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3.

[0048] When the washing machine is running, there may be water vapor. If the water vapor enters between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3, it will condense into water on the inner surface of the display module 2. The display device of the present invention can effectively prevent water vapor from entering between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3 by providing a sealing component between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3 to seal the gap between the two.

[0049] It should be noted that, in actual applications, those skilled in the art may set the sealing component as a sealing ring, set a circle of grooves on the lamp holder 3 along its circumferential edge, and install the sealing ring in the groove. After the installation is completed, the sealing ring is sealed to the inner surface of the display module 2, thereby sealing the gap between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3. Alternatively, the sealing component may be set as a sealing gasket, so that the two sides of the sealing gasket are respectively sealed to the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3 to seal the gap between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific structural form of the sealing component do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be limited within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0050] Preferably, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sealing component of the present invention is a sealing gasket 4.

[0051] Exemplarily, the size of the sealing gasket 4 is similar to that of the display film 22 . When installed, the left side of the sealing gasket 4 is sealed to the display film 22 of the display module 2 , and the right side of the sealing gasket 4 is sealed to the lamp holder 3 .

[0052] The sealing gasket 4 has a through hole 41 at a position corresponding to the lamp slot 31 on the lamp holder 3. The through hole 41 penetrates the sealing gasket 4 along its thickness. Light emitted by the lamp in the lamp slot 31 can pass through the through hole 41 on the sealing gasket 4 and illuminate the display film 22, thereby illuminating the display icon 221 on the display film 22.

[0053] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sealing gasket 4 is a rectangular plate-like structure, and is provided with a plurality of through holes 41. The sizes of the plurality of through holes 41 are not required to be exactly the same, and the specific sizes of the through holes 41 are determined according to the sizes of the corresponding light troughs 31 and display icons 221.

[0054] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific material of the sealing gasket 4. For example, the sealing gasket 4 can be set as a rubber sealing gasket or a cotton sealing gasket.

[0055] Preferably, the thickness of the sealing gasket 4 is greater than the gap between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3 .

[0056] By making the thickness of the sealing gasket 4 greater than the gap between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3 , the sealing gasket 4 is in a compressed state when the installation is completed, so that both sides of the sealing gasket 4 can fit more tightly on the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3 .

[0057] In a first preferred embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a first annular sealing rib 42 is provided along the circumferential edge of the sealing gasket 4 on the side facing the display module 2 , and the first annular sealing rib 42 is in sealing contact with the display module 2 .

[0058] The side of the sealing gasket 4 facing the display module 2 is referred to as the first surface of the sealing gasket 4. The sealing gasket 4 is provided with a first annular sealing rib 42 on its first surface. The first annular sealing rib 42 forms a circle along the circumferential edge of the sealing gasket 4 and protrudes toward the display module 2. When installed, the first annular sealing rib 42 is sealed against the display module 2, specifically against the display film 22 of the display module 2, with a gap between the first surface of the sealing gasket 4 and the display film 22. The other side of the sealing gasket 4 is referred to as the second surface of the sealing gasket 4. The second surface is disposed opposite the first surface and is a flat surface that is sealed against the lamp holder 3, thereby achieving a seal between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3.

[0059] By providing a first annular sealing rib 42 protruding toward the display module 2 on the first surface of the sealing gasket 4, the first annular sealing rib 42 is fitted with the display module 2, rather than the entire first surface of the sealing gasket 4 being fitted with the display module 2. In this way, the compression amount of the sealing gasket 4 can be reduced, thereby reducing the reverse thrust applied to the display module 2, and further reducing the risk of separation of the display module 2 and the shell 1.

[0060] In specific practice, it is preferred to adhere the sealing gasket 4 to the lamp holder 3 so that the second surface of the sealing gasket 4 is in sealing contact with the lamp holder 3 .

[0061] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sealing gasket 4 is provided with multiple through holes 41, and a first light-blocking rib 43 is provided between two adjacent through holes 41 on the side of the sealing gasket 4 facing the display module 2 (i.e., the first surface of the sealing gasket 4), and the first light-blocking rib 43 is sealed and fitted with the display module 2.

[0062] By arranging a first light-blocking rib 43 protruding toward the display module 2 on the first surface of the sealing gasket 4 and making the first light-blocking rib 43 also seal and fit with the display module 2, the cross-light phenomenon can be effectively avoided.

[0063] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of first light-blocking ribs 43 are provided on the first surface of the sealing gasket 4 , wherein a portion of the first light-blocking ribs 43 extend along the length direction of the sealing gasket 4 , and another portion of the first light-blocking ribs 43 extend along the width direction of the sealing gasket 4 .

[0064] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the protruding size of the first light-blocking rib 43 is smaller than the protruding size of the first annular sealing rib 42 .

[0065] That is to say, when the installation is completed, the amount of compression of the first annular sealing rib 42 is greater than the amount of compression of the first light-blocking rib 43, so that the reverse thrust of the sealing gasket 4 on the display module 2 can be reduced. The smaller the amount of compression of the first light-blocking rib 43 is, the better. The compression amount of the first light-blocking rib 43 is preferably set to 0.1mm to 0.5mm, and the compression amount of the first annular sealing rib 42 is preferably set to 0.5mm to 2.0mm.

[0066] That is, the thickness of the sealing gasket 4 at the position of the first light-blocking rib 43 is greater than the gap between the display film 22 of the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3, and the thickness of the sealing gasket 4 at the position of the first annular sealing rib 42 is greater than the gap between the display film 22 and the lamp holder 3.

[0067] In a second preferred embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a second annular sealing rib 32 is provided along the circumferential edge of the lamp holder 3 on the side facing the sealing gasket 4 , and the second annular sealing rib 32 is in contact with the sealing gasket 4 .

[0068] Among them, the side of the sealing gasket 4 facing the display module 2 is recorded as the first surface of the sealing gasket 4, and the first surface of the sealing gasket 4 is a plane. The first surface of the sealing gasket 4 is sealed and fitted with the display module 2, specifically, sealed and fitted with the display film 22 of the display module 2. The other side of the sealing gasket 4 is recorded as the second surface of the sealing gasket 4, and the second surface is arranged opposite to the first surface. The second surface of the sealing gasket 4 is also a plane. The side of the lamp holder 3 facing the sealing gasket 4 is recorded as the outer surface of the lamp holder 3. The outer surface of the lamp holder 3 is provided with a second annular sealing rib 32 protruding toward the sealing gasket 4. The second annular sealing rib 32 is arranged along the circumferential edge of the lamp holder 3 and is sealed and fitted with the second surface of the sealing gasket 4, thereby realizing the sealing between the display module 2 and the lamp holder 3. There is a gap between the second surface of the sealing gasket 4 and the lamp holder 3.

[0069] By providing a second annular sealing rib 32 protruding toward the sealing gasket 4 on the lamp holder 3, the second annular sealing rib 32 is fit against the second surface of the sealing gasket 4, rather than the entire outer surface of the lamp holder 3 being fit against the sealing gasket 4. In this way, the compression of the sealing gasket 4 can be reduced, thereby reducing the reverse thrust applied to the display module 2, thereby reducing the risk of separation of the display module 2 and the shell 1.

[0070] In specific practice, it is preferred to adhere the sealing gasket 4 to the display film 22 of the display module 2 so that the first surface of the sealing gasket 4 is sealed and fitted to the display film 22 of the display module 2 .

[0071] Further, if Figure 5and Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of lamp slots 31 are provided on the lamp holder 3 , and a second light-blocking rib 33 is provided between two adjacent lamp slots 31 on the side of the lamp holder 3 facing the sealing gasket 4 , and the second light-blocking rib 33 is sealed and fitted with the sealing gasket 4 .

[0072] By arranging the second light-blocking rib 33 protruding toward the sealing gasket 4 on the lamp holder 3 and making the second light-blocking rib 33 also seal with the sealing gasket 4, the light crosstalk phenomenon can be effectively avoided.

[0073] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of second light-blocking ribs 33 are provided on the outer surface of the lamp holder 3 , wherein a portion of the second light-blocking ribs 33 extend along the length direction of the lamp holder 3 , and another portion of the second light-blocking ribs 33 extend along the width direction of the lamp holder 3 .

[0074] Further, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the protruding dimension of the second light-blocking rib 33 is smaller than the protruding dimension of the second annular sealing rib 32 .

[0075] That is to say, when the installation is complete, the amount of compression at the position where the sealing gasket 4 abuts the second annular sealing rib 32 is greater than the amount of compression at the position where the sealing gasket 4 abuts the second light-blocking rib 33. This can reduce the reverse thrust of the sealing gasket 4 on the display module 2. The smaller the amount of compression at the position where the sealing gasket 4 abuts the second light-blocking rib 33, the better, preferably set to 0.1mm to 0.5mm, and the amount of compression at the position where the sealing gasket 4 abuts the second annular sealing rib 32 is preferably set to 0.5mm to 2.0mm.

[0076] That is, the thickness of the sealing gasket 4 is greater than the gap between the display film 22 of the display module 2 and the second light-blocking rib 33 of the lamp holder 3 , and the thickness of the sealing gasket 4 is greater than the gap between the display film 22 and the second annular sealing rib 32 of the lamp holder 3 .

[0077] In the third preferred embodiment, the first preferred embodiment and the second preferred embodiment are combined, that is, a first annular sealing rib 42 is provided on the side of the sealing gasket 4 facing the display module 2, and a second annular sealing rib 32 is provided on the side of the lamp holder 3 facing the sealing gasket 4.

However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
