Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of top-loading washing machines, and particularly relates to a noise reduction structure of a cabinet door of a top-loading washing machine. Background Art
[0002] The cabinet door assembly of current top-loading washing machines often directly fastens the metal door to the plastic part, and relies on the bone position on the plastic part to support the metal door so that the metal door will not deform. However, when the user closes the cabinet door, the metal door and the plastic part will inevitably collide, and a sharp metal collision sound will be generated during the direct collision, which affects the user's sense of use and shortens the service life of the metal door assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:
[0005] A noise reduction structure for a top-opening washing machine cabinet door includes a metal outer plate, a plastic bottom plate and a buffer sponge. The plastic bottom plate is provided with a support platform on the side facing the metal outer plate. The support platform is arranged parallel to the metal outer plate. A limiting groove is provided on the support platform. The buffer sponge is arranged in the limiting groove. The upper surface of the buffer sponge is against the inner surface of the metal outer plate.
[0006] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the limiting groove includes a first limiting rib, a second limiting rib, a third limiting rib and a fourth limiting rib, the first limiting rib is against the upper side of the buffer sponge, the second limiting rib is against the lower side of the buffer sponge, the third limiting rib is against the left side of the buffer sponge, and the fourth limiting rib is against the right side of the buffer sponge.
[0007] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the upper end of the third limiting rib is fixedly connected to the left end of the first limiting rib, and the lower end of the third limiting rib is fixedly connected to the left end of the third limiting rib.
[0008] As a preferred solution of the present invention, reinforcing ribs are provided on the upper periphery of the support platform, and the upper ends of the reinforcing ribs are against the inner surface of the metal outer plate.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the material of the buffer sponge is high-density foam.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the density of the buffer sponge is 20 kg / m 3 .
[0012] The noise reduction structure of a top-opening washing machine door provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0013] During the installation of the metal outer panel, since a support platform is provided on the plastic base plate, and a buffer sponge is installed between the support platform and the metal outer panel, the upper surface of the buffer sponge is against the inner surface of the metal outer panel. Therefore, after the installation of the metal outer panel is completed, the buffer sponge is in a pre-pressed state, which can ensure the support of the buffer sponge for the metal outer panel, reduce the frequency of collision between the metal outer panel and the plastic base plate, and avoid the sharp metal collision sound when the metal outer panel collides with the plastic base plate, thereby ensuring the user experience and the service life of the metal outer panel.

[0020] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "top", "bottom", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. It should be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. are used in the present invention to describe various information, but such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, "first" information may also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information may also be referred to as "first" information.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present utility model provides a noise reduction structure for a top-opening washing machine cabinet door, which includes a metal outer plate 1, a plastic bottom plate 2 and a buffer sponge 3. The plastic bottom plate 2 is provided with a support platform 4 on the side facing the metal outer plate 1. The support platform 4 is arranged parallel to the metal outer plate 1. A limiting groove 5 is provided on the support platform 4. The buffer sponge 3 is arranged in the limiting groove 5. The upper surface of the buffer sponge 3 is against the inner surface of the metal outer plate 1.
[0023] During the installation of the metal outer panel 1, since a support platform 4 is provided on the plastic base plate 2, and a buffer sponge 3 is installed between the support platform 4 and the metal outer panel 1, the upper surface of the buffer sponge 3 is against the inner surface of the metal outer panel 1. Therefore, after the installation of the metal outer panel 1 is completed, the buffer sponge 3 is in a pre-pressed state, which can ensure the support of the buffer sponge 3 for the metal outer panel 1, and can also reduce the frequency of collisions between the metal outer panel 1 and the plastic base plate 2, and can also avoid the sharp metal collision sound when the metal outer panel 1 collides with the plastic base plate 2, thereby ensuring the user experience and also ensuring the service life of the metal outer panel 1.
[0024] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 5 includes a first limiting rib 51, a second limiting rib 52, a third limiting rib 53 and a fourth limiting rib 54. The first limiting rib 51 is abutted against the upper side of the buffer sponge 3, the second limiting rib 52 is abutted against the lower side of the buffer sponge 3, the third limiting rib 53 is abutted against the left side of the buffer sponge 3, and the fourth limiting rib 54 is abutted against the right side of the buffer sponge 3.
[0025] Illustratively, the upper end of the third limiting rib 53 is fixedly connected to the left end of the first limiting rib 51 , and the lower end of the third limiting rib 53 is fixedly connected to the left end of the third limiting rib 53 .
[0026] Exemplarily, the support platform 4 is provided with reinforcing ribs 6 , and the upper ends of the reinforcing ribs 6 abut against the inner surface of the metal outer plate 1 , which can further prevent the metal outer plate 1 from colliding with the plastic bottom plate 2 during use.
[0027] Exemplarily, the limiting groove 5 is located at the center of the supporting platform 4 to ensure that the buffer sponge 3 can achieve the best use effect.
[0028] For example, the material of the buffer sponge 3 is high-density foam, and the density of the buffer sponge 3 is 20 kg / m 3 , the noise reduction effect is good.
[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0030] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention.
