[0046] See Figures 1-10This is an embodiment of a control panel for a garment processing device proposed in this utility model. The control panel 100 of the garment processing device includes: a panel body 10 and a splash guard 20. The splash guard 20 is fixedly disposed with the panel body 10. The panel body 10 and the splash guard 20 surround and form a device cavity 11 for accommodating components 30. The components 30 may be reed switches, door locks, micro switches, etc. The components 30 are located in the device cavity 11.

[0047] In this embodiment, see Figures 9-10 The component 30 shown is fixed to the tray body 10 by a fastener. A first through hole 21 and a second through hole 311 for the fastener to pass through are provided on the splash guard 20 and component 30, respectively. A fastening hole 121 matching the fastener is provided on the tray body 10. Fixing component 30 with a single fastener reduces the number of fasteners required, thus lowering material costs in the production process. Fewer fasteners also make the assembly process simpler and more efficient, reducing installation time and increasing assembly speed on the production line. Furthermore, the fastener serves to fix both component 30 and the splash guard 20. The assembly process is also more efficient. When assembling the tray body 100, the tray body 10 is first flipped over, then component 30 is positioned on the tray body 10, and the splash guard 20 is placed over the open end of the component cavity 11. Finally, the fastener is used for fixation. The operation of fixing the fastener is concentrated in the last step, which helps to improve the installation and fixing speed.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, component 30 has a fixing lug 31 with a second through hole 311, and the base body 11 has a fastening post 12 with a fastening hole 121. The fixing lug 31 is located between the fastening post 12 and the splash guard 20. The first through hole 21 and the second through hole 311 are coaxially arranged, and the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 311 have the same radial dimension. An upwardly extending positioning plate 22 is provided on the splash guard 20. The positioning plate 22 surrounds the outside of the first through hole 21, is located outside the fastening post 12, and surrounds the outside of the fixing lug 31. By setting up a positioning plate 22, which surrounds the fastening post 12, it facilitates the positioning of the splash guard 20 on the tray body 10. Furthermore, when fastening the components, the fixing ears 31 can be quickly and accurately aligned with the fastening post 12 of the tray body 10, ensuring precise correspondence between the first through hole 21, the second through hole 311, and the fastening hole 121, thereby improving installation efficiency and accuracy. During installation or equipment operation, the positioning plate 22 effectively prevents the components 30 from shifting due to external forces (such as vibration), ensuring the stability of the components 30 after fixing and guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, a radially outwardly extending fastening rib 122 is provided on the outer side of the fastening post 12. A positioning groove 221 matching the fastening rib 122 can be provided on the positioning plate 22, with the end of the fastening rib 122 located within the positioning groove 221. The matching of the positioning groove 221 and the fastening rib 122 further ensures accurate alignment between the first through hole 21 of the splash guard 20 and the fastening post 12 of the base body 10, which can greatly reduce errors during installation and improve installation efficiency and quality. The radially outwardly extending fastening rib 122 on the outer side of the fastening post 12, which tightly engages with the positioning groove 221 on the positioning plate 22, increases the contact area and connection strength between the fastening post 12 and the positioning plate 22.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, a downwardly extending protective plate 23 is provided on the splash guard 20. The protective plate 23 surrounds the outside of the first through hole 21, and the fastening cap of the fastener is located inside the protective plate 23. This can effectively prevent accidental impact on the fastener and protect the fastener. Furthermore, the protective plate 23 helps to increase the structural strength of the first through hole 21.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, a thickened portion 211 extending axially along the first through-hole 21 is provided on the splash guard 20 to increase the depth of the first through-hole 21, and the protective plate 23 is located outside the thickened portion 211. The thickened portion 211 increases the material thickness around the first through-hole 21, thereby improving the structural strength of the first through-hole 21. When the fastener passes through the first through-hole 21, the thickened portion 211 can better withstand the pressure and tension of the fastener, reducing the risk of deformation or breakage of the first through-hole 21. The presence of the thickened portion 211 can increase the depth of the first through-hole 21, providing a more stable installation position for the fastener. After passing through the first through-hole 21, the fastener can be embedded more deeply into the splash guard, increasing the stability and reliability of the connection. At the same time, the thickened portion 211 can also reduce the loosening and displacement of the fastener during use, improving the overall performance of the equipment.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, a limiting structure is provided between the tray body 10 and the component 30. The limiting structure has a limiting hole 321 formed on the component 30 and a limiting post 13 formed on the tray body 10. The limiting hole 321 and the limiting post 13 are matched and the limiting post 13 extends into the limiting hole 321. The limiting hole 321 and the second through hole 311 are symmetrically arranged. Specifically, the component 30 is provided with a limiting ear 32 symmetrically arranged with the fixing ear 31, and a limiting hole 321 is formed on the limiting ear 32. The limiting post 13 is located in the limiting hole 321, which can provide accurate positioning when installing the component 20, making the installation process simpler and faster, reducing installation time and operation difficulty. Together with the cooperation of the second through hole 311 and the fastening post, it ensures that the installation position of the component 30 on the tray body 10 is more accurate, avoids installation deviation, and improves installation efficiency and quality. The symmetrical arrangement of the limiting hole 321 and the second through hole 311 makes the force on the component 30 on the disk base body 10 more uniform, which can improve the installation stability of the component 30.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting post 13 protrudes downward from the limiting hole 321, and the splash guard 20 has a downwardly extending relief groove 24 for avoiding the limiting post 13. This allows for a more intuitive display of whether the component 30 is correctly positioned during installation. Operators can quickly determine the accuracy of the installation by observing whether the limiting post 13 is fully inserted into the limiting hole 321 and the state of the protruding portion, thus improving installation efficiency and precision. The relief groove 24 provides space for the protruding limiting post 13, preventing interference between the limiting post 123 and the splash guard 20.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, a support and limiting structure for supporting and limiting the component 30 is provided on the disk base body 10. The support and limiting structure has a support seat 141 composed of multiple support ribs and multiple limiting ribs 142 blocked on the outside of the component 30. The support seat 141 supports the top of the component 30; the support ribs extend downward along the top cavity wall of the disk base body 10. The support seat 141 composed of multiple support ribs provides strong support for the component 30 from the top, so that the component 30 is spaced apart from the top cavity wall. The support seat 141 can absorb and disperse the impact force from the outside to a certain extent, reducing the possibility of damage to the component. The multiple limiting ribs 142 are blocked on the outside of the component 30, limiting the component in the horizontal direction. The support seat 141 is used to limit the upward movement of the component 30, and the fasteners and splash guards 20 limit the downward movement of the component 30, restricting the movement of the component 30 in all directions, so that the component 30 is firmly fixed on the disk base body 10.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, the support and limiting structure has a buckle 143 that engages with the component 30. The buckle 143 extends downward along the base body 10, and the buckle 143 and the fastener are located on opposite sides of the component 30. The engagement mechanism enables rapid positioning of the component. The buckle 143 and the fastener, located on opposite sides of the component 30, enhance the fixation of the component 30 on the base body 10, preventing it from loosening or falling off during use. When installing the component 30, the base body 10 is flipped and placed, and then the component 30 is positioned within the base body 10. At this time, the support base 14 limits the downward movement of the component 30, the limiting rib 142 and the limiting post 13 limit the horizontal movement of the component 30, and the buckle 143 limits the upward movement of the component 30; thus achieving stable positioning of the component 30. Of course, multiple components 30 are provided within the component cavity 11. The splash guard 20 is then positioned on the disk base body 10. After a fastener passes through the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 311, it is fixed in the fastening hole 121 to fix the component 30. Then, the edge of the splash guard 20 is fixed to the disk base body 10 using fasteners.

[0056] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
