[0041] This application provides a cleaning machine comprising a main body and a door. The main body defines a cleaning chamber. The door is rotatably connected to the lower end of the main body and is used to open and close the cleaning chamber. It should be noted that the main body comprises the combined outer shell, inner container, and door frame structure of the cleaning machine, and the door is rotatably mounted to the door frame structure via a hinge. This main body is a conventional structure for cleaning machines and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the door body provided by the embodiment of the present application in one direction is shown. Figure 1As shown, the door body includes a door body main body 1, an upper door panel 2, a lower door panel 3 and a decorative part 4, wherein the rear side of the door body main body 1 has a rotating part (not shown in the figure) that is rotatably connected to the lower end of the fuselage, and the end of the door body main body 1 away from the rotating part is the free end of the door body main body 1, and the front side of the door body main body 1 has a groove 11 extending in the left and right directions and opening forward. With the groove 11 as a dividing line, the upper door panel 2 and the decorative part 4 are installed on the side of the door body main body 1 close to the free end, and the lower door panel 3 is installed on the side of the door body main body 1 close to the rotating part.

[0043] It should be noted that the front and rear sides of the door body 1 refer to the two sides in the thickness direction of the door body 1, and when the door body closes the cleaning cavity, the front side of the door body 1 is in the same direction as the front side of the machine body, and the rear side of the door body 1 is in the same direction as the rear side of the machine body; the left and right sides of the door body 1 refer to the left and right sides of the user when the user is facing the cleaning machine.

[0044] The groove 11 has a first side wall 11a, a bottom wall 11b and a second side wall 11c connected in sequence, wherein the bottom wall 11b is connected to the first side wall 11a and is approximately 90° to the first side wall 11a, and the second side wall 11c is connected to the bottom wall 11b and the angle between them is greater than 90°, so as to increase the opening of the groove 11.

[0045] Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the partial structure of the door body provided in another direction according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 Combine Figure 1 As shown, the door body also includes an indicator light assembly 5, which includes a mounting box 51 and an indicator light installed in the mounting box 51. A notch 110 extending in the left-right direction and penetrating the first side wall 11a is provided on the first side wall 11a. The mounting box 51 is fixed to the rear side of the door body 1, and the light-transmitting portion of the mounting box 51 is exposed to the front side of the door body 1 at the notch 110, so that the user can observe the display of the indicator light in real time. With this arrangement, the indicator light can be installed in the mounting box 51 first, and then the mounting box 51 can be fixedly connected to the door body 1, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the indicator light and the door body 1.

[0046] It is understandable that the number of indicator lights can be any number such as one, two, three, four, five, etc., and several indicator lights are arranged in the installation box 51 at intervals along the left and right directions. The working status of the cleaning machine can be judged by whether different indicator lights are lit or the color of the light, so as to improve the user experience.

[0047] Figure 3 A partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the door body provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the partial structure of the door body 1 provided in an embodiment of the present application without the installation box 51 installed is shown. Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the installation box 51 provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown. Figures 3 to 5 In combination with what is shown in FIG2 , the installation box 51 has a accommodating cavity 510 with an opening facing away from the notch 110. The indicator light is installed in the accommodating cavity 510 and corresponds to the light-transmitting portion, so that the light emitted by the indicator light is irradiated from the light-transmitting portion of the installation box 51 and the notch 110 of the first side wall 11a to the front side of the door body 1, so that the user can observe the display of the indicator light in real time.

[0048] Furthermore, a portion of the second side wall 11 c of the groove 11 corresponding to the light-transmitting portion of the installation box 51 is coated with a reflective coating to better transmit the light emitted by the indicator light to the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] The rear side of the door body 1 is provided with first limiting members 12 on both the left and right sides of the notch 110. Each first limiting member 12 has a slot 121 extending in the front-to-back direction. The installation box 51 is provided with two second limiting members 511 spaced apart in the left-to-right direction. Each second limiting member 511 has a latching protrusion 5111 that engages with the slot 121. When the installation box 51 is assembled, the light-transmitting portion of the installation box 51 is exposed from the notch 110 to the front side of the door body 1. This design not only limits the installation trajectory of the installation box 51 by the spaced-apart arrangement of the two first limiting members 12, but also secures the installation box 51 through the latching protrusion 5111 of the second limiting member 511 and the slot 121 of the first limiting member 12.

[0050] The length of the notch 110 in the front-to-back direction of the door body 1 is smaller than the length of the first side wall 11a in the front-to-back direction of the door body 1, and the peripheral side of the installation box 51 has a limiting rib 512 abutting against the outer surface of the first side wall 11a. Through the cooperation between the limiting rib 512 and the first side wall 11a, the installation box 51 can be supported and limited.

[0051] The distance between the limiting rib 512 and the outer surface of the light-transmitting portion is no greater than the distance between the limiting rib 512 and the inner surface of the corresponding first side wall 11a. In other words, the light-transmitting portion is embedded in the notch 110, and the light-transmitting portion does not protrude from the inner surface of the first side wall 11a, which can prevent foreign objects entering the groove 11 from rubbing and colliding with the installation box 51.

[0052] To secure the installation box 51, the door body 1 further includes a first fixing member 13 on the rear side, and the installation box 51 includes a second fixing member 513 that is detachably fixed to the first fixing member 13. In this embodiment, there is one first fixing member 13 and one second fixing member 513, and the first fixing member 13 and the second fixing member 513 are disposed in correspondence. In other embodiments, the number of the first fixing member 13 and the second fixing member 513 can also be two, three, etc., without limitation herein.

[0053] Furthermore, a second fixing member 513 is located between the two second limiting members 511, and the second fixing member 513 is located on the side of the installation box 51 away from the front side of the door body 1. At this time, the front side of the installation box 51 can be limited and supported by the door body 1, and the bottom of the rear side of the installation box 51 is limited and supported by the notch 110. The top of the rear side of the installation box 51 can be limited and supported by the fixed connection between the second fixing member 513 and the first fixing member 13, thereby avoiding deformation of the installation box 51 during long-term use to ensure the normal operation of the indicator light.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first fixing member 13 has a threaded hole, and the second fixing member 513 has a through hole. A fastener is threadedly connected to the threaded hole through the through hole. The fastener provides a detachable fixed connection between the first fixing member 13 and the second fixing member 513, thereby improving assembly and disassembly efficiency. For example, the fastener can be a bolt.

[0055] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of this application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit this application in any form, and any technical solutions obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection of this application.
