[0095] The inner cylinder wall may have a plurality of communicating holes (not shown in the figure). The communicating holes are used to connect the washing chamber 20 with the interior of the outer cylinder so that the liquid in the washing chamber 20 can flow into the outer cylinder through the communicating holes so that the liquid can be discharged from the outer cylinder after washing.
[0096] The pulsator washing machine may include a fence 70 , which is used to mount control components (such as encoders, display panels, knobs, etc.) The fence 70 may be mounted on the top of the frame 12 .
[0097] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the enclosure 70 may include a rear enclosure portion 72. The rear enclosure portion 72 is provided on the enclosure frame 12, and the rear enclosure portion 72 is located at the rear side of the enclosure 70, close to the back of the box body 11. The rear enclosure portion 72 can provide protection and support for the control device.
[0098] The enclosure 70 may include a front enclosure portion 71. The front enclosure portion 71 may be provided on a side of the rear enclosure portion 72 that faces away from the back of the box body 11. The front enclosure portion 71 may provide protection and support for the control device.
[0099] The enclosure 70 may include a device mounting portion 73, one end of which may be connected to the rear enclosure portion 72 and the other end to the front enclosure portion 71. A control device may be mounted on the device mounting portion 73. The device mounting portion 73 is tilted to facilitate user operation and information viewing.
[0100] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, further, a slot portion 122 and a limit portion 123 may be provided on the surrounding frame 12 , and the enclosure 70 may be installed on the surrounding frame 12 through the slot portion 122 and the limit portion 123 .
[0101] In some embodiments, the front enclosure portion 71 can be provided with a fixing structure 75 (such as a fixing structure such as a buckle, a groove, or a mounting hole), and the front enclosure portion 71 can be connected to the slot portion 122 and the limiting portion 123 through the fixing structure 75 to install the enclosure 70 on the enclosure frame 12.
[0102] In some embodiments, the rear enclosure portion 72 may be provided with a fixing structure 75 , and the rear enclosure portion 72 may be connected to the slot portion 122 and the limiting portion 123 through the fixing structure 75 , so that the enclosure 70 is installed on the enclosure frame 12 .
[0103] In some embodiments, the front enclosure portion 71 and the rear enclosure portion 72 may be provided with a fixing structure 75. The front enclosure portion 71 and the rear enclosure portion 72 may be connected to the slot portion 122 and the limit portion 123 through the fixing structure 75, so that the enclosure 70 is installed on the enclosure frame 12.
[0104] Specifically, the fixing structure 75 may include a snap-fit portion 751 , which is snap-fitted to the snap-fit groove portion 122 on the surrounding frame 12 to limit the relative movement between the enclosure 70 and the surrounding frame 12 .
[0105] The fixing structure 75 may include a limiting inserting portion 752 , which abuts against the limiting portion 123 to limit the relative movement between the enclosure 70 and the enclosure frame 12 .
[0106] In some embodiments, the latch portion 751 extends toward the inside of the pulsator washing machine to form a protrusion with a snap-fitting function. The latch portion 751 may be provided with an upwardly facing abutting surface. The slot portion 122 can engage with the latch portion 751 via the abutting surface. This arrangement limits the upward movement of the enclosure 70 in the height direction. The two side surfaces of the latch portion 751 adjacent to the abutting surface abut against the slot portion 122, thereby limiting the movement of the enclosure 70 in the width direction.
[0107] In some embodiments, the position-limiting inserting portion 752 can be configured with an opening facing downward toward the enclosure 12 to form an inserting slot 753. The position-limiting portion 123 of the enclosure 12 extends upward from one end of the enclosure 12 and can be inserted into the inserting slot 753. The upward extension of the position-limiting portion 123 of the enclosure 12 limits downward movement of the enclosure 70 in the height direction. The inserting slot 753 is inserted into the enclosure 12, and the side surfaces of the inserting slot 753 engage the enclosure 12 to limit movement of the enclosure 70 in the depth direction.
[0108] Along the width direction of the enclosure 70 , the snap-fit portions 751 and the position-limiting inserting portions 752 may be arranged at intervals to disperse the forces acting on the snap-fit portions 751 and the position-limiting inserting portions 752 , thereby improving the reliability of the enclosure 70 .
[0109] At least one of the front and rear enclosures 71 and 72 is provided with a fixing structure 75. The snap-fit portion 751 of the fixing structure 75 can be engaged with the slot 122 on the enclosure frame 12, and the position-limiting insert 752 of the fixing structure 75 can abut against the position-limiting portion 123. By engaging the snap-fit portion 751 of the enclosure 70 and inserting the position-limiting insert 752, the enclosure 70 can be quickly installed on the enclosure frame 12. This arrangement simplifies the assembly process of the enclosure 70 without the need for installation tools, improving the assembly efficiency of the enclosure 70. This is compared to first inserting the front enclosure 71 and then snapping the rear enclosure 72 together, or by appropriately adjusting the position of the rear enclosure 72 before snapping it together, to achieve installation of the enclosure 70. After aligning the front enclosure portion 71 or the rear enclosure portion 72 with the enclosure frame 12, the enclosure 70 can be quickly installed on the enclosure frame 12 by engaging the snap portion 751 and inserting the position-limiting inserting portion 752, without having to worry about the other side of the enclosure 70. This can save assembly time for the enclosure 70 and improve assembly efficiency of the enclosure 70.
[0110] In some embodiments, the fixing structure 75 may be provided with multiple snap-fit portions 751 and multiple position-limiting inserts 752 to ensure reliable installation of the fixing structure 75. During operation of the pulsator washing machine, the enclosure 70 may be subjected to forces and vibrations in multiple directions. This configuration can improve the uniformity of the force applied to the enclosure 70 and prevent it from loosening.
[0111] To prevent stress concentration from damaging the enclosure 70, the snap-fit portions 751 and the position-limiting inserts 752 of the fixing structure 75 are alternately positioned along the width of the pulsator washing machine. This disperses the forces acting on the enclosure 70, improving the smoothness of the enclosure 70 during installation. For example, along the width of the enclosure 70, the first snap-fit portion, the first position-limiting insert, the second snap-fit portion, the second position-limiting insert, the third snap-fit portion, and the third position-limiting insert are sequentially positioned.
[0112] If the distance between the snap portion 751 and the position-limiting insert portion 752 is less than 20 mm, the enclosure 70 may become too rigid, making assembly difficult. Furthermore, if the distance between the snap portion 751 and the position-limiting insert portion 752 is too small, the snap portions 751 and the position-limiting insert portion 752 may be arranged too closely together, increasing the processing and manufacturing costs of the enclosure 70.
[0113] If the distance between the latch portion 751 and the position-limiting insert 752 is greater than 100 mm, the area between the latch portion 751 and the position-limiting insert 752 may bulge or dent due to lack of support, thus reducing the aesthetics of the pulsator washing machine. Furthermore, if the distance between the latch portion 751 and the position-limiting insert 752 is too large, a gap may appear at the connection between the enclosure 70 and the frame 12. This increases the risk of water intrusion into the enclosure 70 when water splashes onto the frame 12, thereby causing the control device to fail.
[0114] Therefore, in some embodiments, the distance between the snap portion 751 and the position-limiting plug portion 752 in the fixing structure 75 can be greater than or equal to 20 mm and less than or equal to 100 mm. This can prevent problems such as difficulty in assembling the enclosure 70 or dents, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the installation of the enclosure 70.
[0115] The distance between the snap portion 751 and the position limiting plug portion 752 can be set to 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm, 100 mm, or a range consisting of any two of them. The distance value is set according to actual needs.
[0116] In some embodiments, the enclosure 70 may include multiple fixing structures 75 to improve the overall stability and vibration resistance of the enclosure 70. The multiple fixing structures 75 can disperse external forces and reduce stress concentration that may cause deformation or damage to the enclosure frame 12.
[0117] The plurality of fixing structures 75 may include a first fixing structure and a second fixing structure. The first fixing structure and the second fixing structure may be disposed at different positions of the enclosure 70. Alternatively, the first fixing structure and the second fixing structure may be configured as different types of fixing structures 75.
[0118] In some embodiments, the first fixing structure connects one or more slots 122 and one or more stoppers 123. In other words, the frame 12 is provided with multiple structures that connect to the first fixing structures of the enclosure 70 to facilitate mounting of the enclosure 70 on the frame 12. The first fixing structures can improve the stability of the enclosure 70 mounted on the frame 12.
[0119] In some embodiments, the second fixing structure can connect one or more slots 122 and one or more stoppers 123. Similarly, the frame 12 is provided with multiple structures that connect to the second fixing structure of the enclosure 70 to ensure that the enclosure 70 is mounted on the frame 12. The second fixing structure can ensure improved stability of the enclosure 70 mounted on the frame 12.
[0120] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the frame 12 may be provided with a stop plate, which protrudes from the frame 12 and is close to the front baffle 71. The frame 12 may be provided with a first slot 1221, which may be made by machining a groove on the stop plate.
[0121] The stop plate can be reused for the first limiting portion 1222. This reduces the number of components on the surrounding frame 12, reduces the size of the surrounding frame 12, and reduces the processing cost of the surrounding frame 12.
[0122] In some embodiments, the front enclosure 71 is the primary area of user interaction and contact, requiring robustness and durability. A first fixing structure is provided on the front enclosure 71 to ensure the stability of the enclosure 70. Furthermore, the first fixing structure provides initial support for other components during assembly, reducing assembly difficulty.
[0123] Reference Figure 8 As shown, the first latch portion 7511 in the first fixing structure can be located on the surface of the front enclosure portion 71 facing the rear enclosure portion 72, and the first latch portion 7511 can be engaged with the first latching groove portion 1221. This allows for faster connection of the enclosure 70, avoids the use of multiple installation tools, and improves the assembly efficiency of the enclosure 70.
[0124] The first buckle portion 7511 may be provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface may be provided on a side away from the front enclosure portion 71 , so as to facilitate the installation of the first buckle portion 7511 and the first slot portion 1221 and improve the assembly efficiency of the enclosure 70 .
[0125] The first position-limiting inserting portion 7512 of the first fixing structure can be located on the surface of the front enclosure portion 71 facing the rear enclosure portion 72, and the first position-limiting inserting portion 7512 can abut against the first position-limiting portion 1222. This allows for faster connection of the enclosure 70, avoids the use of multiple installation tools, and improves the assembly efficiency of the enclosure 70.
[0126] Along the width direction of the enclosure 70, the first position limiting plug-in portion 7512 is processed with a plug-in groove 753. The plug-in groove 753 can be plugged into the stop plate, which can reduce the difficulty of plugging the first position limiting plug-in portion 7512 and the second slot portion 1231 and improve its assembly efficiency.
[0127] The first limiting plug-in portion 7512 can be set on the front baffle portion 71 and extend toward the top to the device mounting portion 73, which can enhance the stability of the angle between the device mounting portion 73 and the front baffle portion 71 and improve the stability of the connection between the device mounting portion 73 and the front baffle portion 71.
[0128] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the frame 12 may be provided with a second latching slot 1231. The second latching slot 1231 is made by machining a groove on the rear side of the frame 12, and has a high degree of integration.
[0129] The frame 12 may be provided with a second limiting portion 1232 , which protrudes from the frame 12 and extends upward for a certain distance to ensure the reliability of the connection.
[0130] In some embodiments, a second fixing structure may be provided on the rear enclosure portion 72 to ensure the stability of the enclosure 70 .
[0131] Reference Figure 11 As shown, the second latch portion 7521 of the second fixing structure can be located on the surface of the rear enclosure portion 72 facing the front enclosure portion 71, and the second latch portion 7521 engages with the second slot portion 1231. This allows for faster connection of the enclosure 70, avoids the use of multiple installation tools, and improves the assembly efficiency of the enclosure 70.
[0132] The second buckle portion 7521 may be provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface may be provided on a side thereof away from the front enclosure portion 71 , so as to facilitate the installation of the second buckle portion 7521 and the second slot portion 1231 and improve the assembly efficiency of the enclosure 70 .
[0133] The second position-limiting inserting portion 7522 of the second fixing structure can be located on the surface of the rear enclosure portion 72 facing the front enclosure portion 71, and the second position-limiting inserting portion 7522 abuts against the second position-limiting portion 1232. This allows for faster connection of the enclosure 70, avoids the use of multiple installation tools, and improves the assembly efficiency of the enclosure 70.
[0134] The second position limiting plug-in portion 7522 can be raised from the rear enclosure portion 72 and be processed with a downwardly opening plug-in slot 753. The second slot portion 1231 is raised from the enclosure frame 12, which can improve the reliability of the second position limiting plug-in portion 7522 and the second position limiting portion 1232 plug-in and facilitate installation.
[0135] In some embodiments, the second fixing structure may further include a fastener. The rear enclosure 72 may be provided with a mounting hole 7523. The fastener passes through the mounting hole 7523 of the rear enclosure 72 and connects with a threaded hole in the enclosure 12. The fastener further strengthens the connection between the enclosure 70 and the enclosure 12. This prevents cracks from forming in the connection between the enclosure 70 and the enclosure 12 when the pulsator washing machine experiences significant vibration.
[0136] For example, the fasteners may be screws or bolts. Specifically, the fasteners may be pan head screws or countersunk head screws to improve the aesthetics of the pulsator washing machine.
[0137] In some embodiments, along the width direction of the pulsator washing machine, the second buckle portion 7521, the second position limiting plug-in portion 7522 and the fastener can be alternately arranged to avoid stress concentration leading to damage to the enclosure 70.
[0138] If the distance between the second snap portion 7521, the second position-limiting insert 7522, and the fastener is less than 20 mm, the rigidity of the enclosure 70 may be too high, making assembly difficult. Furthermore, if the distance between the second snap portion 7521, the second position-limiting insert 7522, and the fastener is too small, the second snap portion 7521, the second position-limiting insert 7522, and the fastener are arranged too closely together, increasing the processing and manufacturing costs of the enclosure 70.
[0139] If the distance between the second latch portion 7521, the second position-limiting insert 7522, and the fastener is greater than 100 mm, the area between the second latch portion 7521, the second position-limiting insert 7522, and the fastener may bulge or dent due to lack of support, thus reducing the aesthetics of the pulsator washing machine. Furthermore, if the distance between the second latch portion 7521, the second position-limiting insert 7522, and the fastener is too large, a gap may appear at the connection between the enclosure 70 and the frame 12. This increases the risk of water intrusion when water splashes onto the frame 12, thereby causing the control device to fail.
[0140] Therefore, the distance between the second locking portion 7521, the second limiting plug portion 7522, and the fastener is greater than or equal to 20 mm and less than or equal to 100 mm. This can prevent the enclosure 70 from being difficult to assemble or causing dents, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the installation of the enclosure 70.
[0141] The distance between the snap portion 751 and the position limiting plug portion 752 can be set to 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm, 100 mm, or a range consisting of any two of them. The distance value is set according to actual needs.
[0142] Some embodiments of the present application also provide another pulsator washing machine, which may include a housing 11, a frame 12, a drum assembly, and a barrier 70. The frame 12 may be disposed on the top of the housing 11 and may have a loading port 121. The drum assembly may be disposed within the housing and may have a washing chamber 20. The drum opening of the drum assembly may be in communication with the washing chamber 20 and face the loading port 121.
[0143] The enclosure 12 may be provided with a snap portion 751 and a position-limiting plug-in portion 752. The snap portion 751 extends toward the inside of the pulsator washing machine and is provided with an upwardly facing abutting surface. The position-limiting plug-in portion 752 has an opening facing the enclosure 12. The enclosure 70 may include a rear enclosure portion 72 and a front enclosure portion 71. At least one of the front enclosure portion 71 and the rear enclosure portion 72 may be provided with a fixing structure 75. The fixing structure 75 may include a slot portion 122 and a position-limiting portion 123. The slot portions 122 and the position-limiting portion 123 are spaced apart along the width direction of the enclosure 70. The slot portion 122 engages with the snap portion 751 via the abutting surface of the snap portion 751 to limit relative movement between the enclosure 70 and the enclosure 12. The limiting portion 123 extends upward from one end of the enclosure frame 12 . The limiting portion 123 is inserted into the limiting inserting portion 752 to limit the relative movement between the enclosure 70 and the enclosure frame 12 .
[0144] By engaging the retaining groove 122 of the enclosure 70 and inserting the stopper 123, the enclosure 70 can be quickly installed on the enclosure frame 12. This arrangement eliminates the need for tools, simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency. Compared to first inserting the front enclosure 71 and then engaging the rear enclosure 72, or by appropriately adjusting the position of the rear enclosure 72 before engaging, the enclosure 70 can be quickly installed on the enclosure frame 12 after aligning the front enclosure 71 or the rear enclosure 72 with the enclosure frame 12. By engaging the retaining groove 122 of the enclosure 70 and inserting the stopper 123, the enclosure 70 can be quickly installed on the enclosure frame 12 without having to worry about the other side of the enclosure 70. This reduces assembly time for the enclosure 70 and improves assembly efficiency. For each structure, reference can be made to the description of the aforementioned features.
