Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of washing machine technology, and in particular relates to a simple installation structure for the front control panel of a washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing pulsator washing machines, the front control panel and the control panel base are typically assembled using screws. This requires tools for installation and disassembly, and due to limited operating space, assembly is not only cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, affecting efficiency, but also increases production material and labor costs. Furthermore, screws are prone to corrosion when exposed to water or moisture, and are susceptible to breakage and failure over time, resulting in poor stability. The inability to disassemble them also hinders maintenance. A search revealed a patent application with application number 202021426776.7, which discloses a simplified installation structure for the front control panel of a washing machine. This structure includes hooks at the bottom of the front control panel and engaging slots at the top of the control panel base. Multiple hooks are distributed on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the front control panel and extend downwards. The engaging slots are horizontally arranged along the top surface of the control panel base, with the slots and hooks corresponding vertically. The hooks can be inserted into the engaging slots, and the bent ends of the hooks engage with the bottom of the slots, thus achieving a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0003] However, in actual use, the applicant found that disassembling the front control panel required the use of screwdrivers and other disassembly tools, which was not convenient. Furthermore, when using a screwdriver to press down on the elastic locking tongue to disassemble the front control panel, excessive force could easily cause the latch to break. Therefore, we propose a simplified installation structure for the washing machine front control panel. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] A simplified installation structure for a washing machine front control panel includes a control panel base 1 and a front control panel 2. The top of the control panel base 1 has a mounting groove 11. The bottom of the mounting groove 11 is symmetrically and fixedly connected with lower elastic hooks 5. A first spring 6 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 11 between the two lower elastic hooks 5. Push rods 4 are symmetrically and elastically connected to the control panel base 1 on both sides of the mounting groove 11 via second springs 7. One end of each push rod 4 extends into the mounting groove 11 and abuts against the two lower elastic hooks 5 respectively. The other end of each push rod 4... One end of each component is fixedly connected to a pressing block 3. A second spring 7 is sleeved on the push rod 4. One end of the second spring 7 abuts against the inner wall of the limiting slide groove, and the other end of the second spring 7 abuts against the pressing block 3. The side of the pressing block 3 away from the push rod 4 is flush with the outer wall of the control panel base 1. The pressing block 3 slides along the limiting slide groove opened inside the control panel base 1. The bottom of the front control plate 2 is symmetrically fixedly connected to an upper hook 8 that cooperates with the lower elastic hook 5. By aligning the front control plate 2 and pressing it into the mounting groove 11, the lower elastic hook 5 and the upper hook 8 can be used to move the upper hook 8. The upper hook 8 engages to quickly fix the front control plate 2 onto the control panel base 1. By manually pressing the two pressing blocks 3 inwards simultaneously, the push rod 4 moves inwards, pressing the lower elastic hook 5 and separating it from the upper hook 8. Under the elastic force of the first spring 6, the front control plate 2 is then lifted upwards, completing the quick disassembly of the front control plate 2 without the need for external tools, making operation more convenient. Spring pressure seats 9 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the front control plate 2 between the two upper hooks 8. When the front control panel 2 needs to be disassembled, manually press the two pressing blocks 3 inward at the same time to drive the push rod 4 to move inward. At this time, the push rod 4 moves inward and pushes the lower elastic hook 5 to bend, so that the lower elastic hook 5 separates from the upper hook 8. At this time, under the elastic force of the first spring 6, the front control panel 2 can be lifted upward, thereby completing the quick disassembly of the front control panel 2. By aligning the front control panel 2 with and pressing it into the mounting groove 11, the lower elastic hook 5 and the upper hook 8 are hooked together, and the front control panel 2 can be quickly installed and fixed on the control panel base 1.

[0023] A water-blocking protrusion 12 is fixedly provided on the top of the control panel base 1 along the edge of the mounting groove 11. A water-guiding groove 13 is provided on the top of the control panel base 1 along the outer wall of the control panel base 1. A drainage groove 14 is provided on the top of the control panel base 1 behind the water-blocking protrusion 12. The drainage groove 14 is connected to the water-guiding groove 13. The water-blocking protrusion 12 can block the water flow and prevent the water flow from entering the mounting groove 11. At the same time, the opening of the water-guiding groove 13 and the drainage groove 14 can quickly drain the water at the water-blocking protrusion 12 and provide waterproof protection for the control box under the front control panel 2. During use, the water-blocking protrusion 12 can prevent the water flow from the top of the control panel base 1 to the mounting groove 11. The water flow at the water-blocking protrusion 12 can be quickly drained through the water-guiding groove 13 and the drainage groove 14, providing waterproof protection for the control box under the front control panel 2.

[0024] Working principle: When it is necessary to disassemble the front control panel 2, manually press the two pressing blocks 3 inward at the same time to drive the push rod 4 to move inward. At this time, the push rod 4 moves inward and pushes the lower elastic hook 5 to bend, so that the lower elastic hook 5 separates from the upper hook 8. At this time, under the elastic force of the first spring 6, the front control panel 2 can be lifted upward, thereby completing the quick disassembly of the front control panel 2. By aligning the front control panel 2 with and pressing it into the mounting groove 11, the lower elastic hook 5 and the upper hook 8 are hooked together, and the front control panel 2 can be quickly installed and fixed on the control panel base 1. During use, the water-blocking protrusion 12 can prevent the water flow from the top of the control panel base 1 to the mounting groove 11. The water flow at the water-blocking protrusion 12 can be quickly discharged through the water inlet groove 13 and the drainage groove 14, providing waterproof protection for the control box at the bottom of the front control panel 2.
