Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine control panel technology, and to washing machine control panel components. Background Technology

[0002] The washing machine control panel is an important interface for users to interact with the washing machine. It integrates a variety of functions and operation options, allowing users to select the appropriate washing program, temperature, spin speed, etc. as needed.

[0003] Currently, when using a washing machine control panel, the buttons on the control panel are frequently pressed by the user's fingers. The pressure of the fingers is uncontrollable, and often the pressure is too high. With repeated use, the control panel will be subjected to pressure for a long time, which reduces the elasticity of the plastic and causes the buttons and even the panel to bend.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a washing machine control panel assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a washing machine control panel component.

[0007] An mounting plate is installed on the outer side of the outer frame, and a first screw is inserted into the mounting plate. By setting the mounting plate and the first screw, it is easy to fix the outer shell to the washing machine casing.

[0008] A rubber block is provided on one side of the mounting plate. By providing the rubber block, it is inserted between the outer frame and the washing machine casing to cover the mounting plate and the first screw.

[0009] The outer frame is detachably mounted with a disassembly block via a sliding groove. A bearing is mounted on one side of the disassembly block, and a threaded post is mounted on the inner ring of the bearing. A movable plate is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded post. A limit rod is mounted on one side of the disassembly block, and the outer side of the limit rod is inserted through and connected to the inner wall of the movable plate. One end of the spring is mounted on the movable plate. By setting up the disassembly block, bearing, threaded post, movable plate, and limit rod, the initial compression degree of the spring can be finely adjusted.

[0010] A swivel ring is installed on the outer side of the threaded post, which facilitates the rotation of the threaded post.

[0011] A fixing plate is installed on one side of the disassembly block, and a second screw is inserted into the fixing plate. The fixing plate is connected to the outer frame through the second screw. By setting the fixing plate and the second screw, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the disassembly block.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] When a finger presses a button on the panel, if the finger applies too much force to the button, the spring will be compressed to buffer the force. This achieves the effect of protecting the button and the panel while ensuring that the button is pressed, and minimizing the decrease in the elasticity of the plastic over a long period of use, which could lead to bending of the button or even the panel.

[0014] By rotating the threaded column, the moving plate is moved. The movement of the moving plate compresses or does not compress the spring, thereby adjusting the initial pressure on the spring. This helps the debugging personnel to adjust the appropriate compression force of the spring during the production and assembly process. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] The control panel assembly of this washing machine, by rotating the threaded column 110, causes the movable plate 112 to move. The movement of the movable plate 112 compresses or does not compress the spring 105, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the initial pressure on the spring 105. This helps the debugging personnel to adjust the appropriate compression force of the spring 105 during the production and assembly process.

[0034] When a finger presses a button on the control panel 2, if the finger applies too much force to the button, the spring 105 will be compressed to buffer the force, thus achieving the effect of protecting both the button and the control panel 2 while ensuring that the button is pressed.
