Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a door for use in household appliances, and also to a cleaning machine that uses the door. Background Technology

[0002] Dishwashers, steam ovens, and ovens are widely used in daily life. To create a workspace that can be opened and closed, these appliances typically have doors. Additionally, control panels are usually installed on the doors for user operation. Currently, the handles on the doors of these appliances are usually located in the middle of the door and protrude from the outer surface, which is aesthetically unappealing and poses a risk of bumping into things. Furthermore, the control panels are also usually located in the middle of the door. However, as people's demands for clean and aesthetically pleasing spaces increase, more and more appliances are adopting built-in installation. With built-in installation, the installation position is relatively low, requiring users to bend over to operate the handles and control panels, resulting in poor comfort.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent "A Dishwasher and Its Door" with authorization announcement number CN218792173U (application number 202222787634.9) discloses a dishwasher in which the control panel and handle are both located at the top. Because the control panel and the door are separated, the handle is also sandwiched between the control panel and the door. Furthermore, the overall structure of the door is recessed at the handle position, which disrupts the flatness of the door and results in poor structural integrity and aesthetics. On the other hand, when operating the handle, the operating height of the handle position is still relatively low. In order to better determine the position of the handle, the user needs to step back and turn their head to check the position of the handle before operating it, resulting in poor operating comfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a door with both the operation panel and handle positions located at the highest position of the door body, thereby improving operating comfort and enhancing the overall structure and aesthetics.

[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cleaning machine with a simple and beautiful door appearance and better operation comfort compared to the above-mentioned prior art.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is: a door body, comprising...

[0007] The main body has a first stepped section recessed at the front of the top.

[0008] The handle, in the shape of a strip, is fitted across the first step and matches the width of the main body;

[0009] The control panel is located on the top surface of the main body and behind the handle.

[0010] More aesthetically pleasing, the top surface of the handle is flush with the top surface of the control panel, and the front side of the handle is flush with the front side of the main body.

[0011] With a simple structure, the handle includes a horizontally extending main rod and connecting posts vertically connected to both ends of the main rod.

[0012] To allow users to operate the handle more easily, at least a portion of the cross-section of the main rod is in the shape of a "┐".

[0013] To ensure the stability of the handle's installation position on the main body, a relative limiting component is provided between the handle and the main body.

[0014] The structure is simple, and the connecting column is hollow;

[0018] With a simple structure, the limiting component includes a third limiting component that limits the left and right sides. The third limiting component includes a limiting strip that extends downward from the main body and a limiting groove disposed on the main body. A mounting seat matching the length of the limiting strip is protruding on the front surface of the first step portion, and the limiting groove is disposed on the mounting seat.

[0019] To reduce the stress on the fasteners when effectively distributing the sliding door and to ensure the stability of the handle's long-term connection to the main body, the limiting strip is connected to the mounting base by fasteners; the upper part of the rear wall of the limiting groove extends backward to a second step, and the top of the main rod extends upward to the second step to a first action part;

[0020] The front wall of the limiting groove gradually slopes backward from top to bottom, and the front surface of the limiting strip is tilted to match the tilt angle of the front wall of the limiting groove.

[0021] To effectively protect the circuit board, the main body includes a main frame and a panel disposed on the front side of the main frame. The main frame includes a support frame and a mounting box disposed above the support frame.

[0022] The operation panel includes a circuit board and operation keys disposed on the circuit board. The circuit board is disposed inside the mounting box, and the operation keys are exposed on the top of the mounting box.

[0023] To avoid the aspect ratio of the circuit board exceeding the design specifications, at least two circuit boards are arranged along the left and right directions on the main body.

[0024] Preferably, the top of the mounting box is further affixed with a faceplate layer covering the operation keys, and the faceplate layer has markings corresponding to the operation keys.

[0025] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the second technical problem mentioned above is: a cleaning machine, including a body with a forward opening and the aforementioned door, wherein the door can be opened and closed to cover the body.

[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the door in this embodiment includes a main body 1, a handle 2, and an operation panel 3.

[0035] The overall shape of the main body 1 is based on the shape of the door of the appliance it is used with, and the main body 1 is usually rectangular. In order to ensure the strength and aesthetics of the main body 1, the main body 1 in this embodiment includes a main frame 11 and a panel 12 disposed on the front side of the main frame 11. The main frame 11 is usually made of a high-strength material, while the panel 12 can be made of different materials according to the design effect, such as glass panel 12, and of course, wood panel 12, metal panel 12, plastic panel 12, etc. can also be selected as needed.

[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, the main body 1 has a recessed first step 10 at the front of its top. The first step 10 is specifically formed on the main frame 11, and the panel 12 is attached to the area below the first step 10. The height of the first step 10 is relatively small compared to the height of the main body 1, so as to form a decorative area of ​​the door.

[0037] The handle 2 is strip-shaped and spans the first step 10, matching the width of the main body 1. The specific shape of the handle 2 is set according to the design effect. For example, it can be arc-shaped or wave-shaped. In this embodiment, the overall shape of the handle 2 is an inverted "]" shape, which makes the overall structure simpler and easier for users to push and pull.

[0038] Specifically, the handle 2 includes a horizontally extending main rod 21 and vertically connected connecting posts 22 at both ends of the main rod 21. The connection structure between the main rod 21 and the connecting posts 22 can be any of the existing connection structures, such as connecting the two ends of the main body 1 to the connecting posts 22 via connecting screws. The handle 2, located on the first step 10, can be used not only as a push-pull handle but also as a decorative strip, thus minimizing its functional role while meeting the overall aesthetic requirements of the door. More aesthetically pleasingly, its top surface is flush with the top surface of the operation panel 3, and the front side of the handle 2 is flush with the front side of the main body 1. This allows the handle 2 to be concealed at the top of the main body 1, ensuring the overall flatness and aesthetics of the door.

[0039] To facilitate better user operation of the handle 2, at least a portion of the cross-section of the main rod 21 is shaped like a "┐", allowing the user to easily grip the main rod 21 and perform overall pushing and pulling operations on the door. More aesthetically pleasing, the front side wall of the main rod 21 slopes backward from top to bottom, not only facilitating pulling operations but also creating a chamfered angle to enhance aesthetics.

[0040] To ensure the stability of the handle 2's installation position on the main body 1, a relative limiting component is matched between the handle 2 and the main body 1. In this embodiment, the limiting component includes a first limiting component 4 that can limit relative vertical direction, a second limiting component 5 that can limit relative front-back direction, and a third limiting component 6 that can limit relative left-right direction. In this way, the stability of the handle 2's installation on the main body 1 is ensured from various directions, and the handle 2 is prevented from moving relative to the main body 1.

[0041] To facilitate the relative positioning and installation of the main body 1 and the handle 2, the connecting column 22 in this embodiment is hollow.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the first limiting component 4 includes a limiting hole 41 formed on the side wall of the connecting post 22, and a buckle 42 provided on the main body 1. The buckle 42 can be matched and snapped into the limiting hole 41. Specifically, the limiting hole 41 is formed on the rear side wall of the connecting post 22. The buckle 42 can be provided on the vertical plane of the first step portion 10 and extend horizontally forward, thereby snapping into the limiting hole 41. The buckle 42 can also be provided on the horizontal plane of the first step portion 10 and extend into the connecting post 22. The buckle 42 also has a buckle body structure that can snap into the limiting hole 41. In this way, in addition to forming the function of upper and lower limiting, it also has a certain function of front and rear limiting.

[0043] The second limiting member 5 is disposed on the main body 1, inserted into the connecting post 22 and abutting against the rear wall of the connecting post 22. When installing the handle 2, the second limiting member 5 is aligned with the hollow position of the connecting post 22, thereby inserting the second limiting member 5 into the connecting post 22 to form a limiting effect. Based on the relative positional relationship between the second limiting member 5 and the connecting post 22, the second limiting member 5 is disposed on the horizontal surface of the step surface. To ensure the limiting strength, the cross-section of the second limiting member 5 is L-shaped, effectively enhancing the limiting effect of the second limiting member 5 on the forward movement of the connecting post 22.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the third limiting component 6 includes a limiting strip 61 extending downward from the main body 21 and a limiting groove 62 disposed on the main body 1. A mounting seat 621 matching the length of the limiting strip 61 is protruding from the front surface of the vertical face of the first step portion 10, and the limiting groove 62 is disposed on the mounting seat 621. When installing the handle 2, it is installed from top to bottom on the first step portion 10, so that the limiting strip 61 is aligned with the limiting groove 62 and inserted into the limiting groove 62, thereby forming a relative limiting. Furthermore, after the handle 2 is installed on the first step portion 10, fasteners are used to pass through the mounting seat 621 and the limiting strip 61, thereby achieving a fixed installation of the handle 2 on the main body 1.

[0045] To improve the left and right limiting effect, the limiting strip 61 is specifically set on the lower surface of the main rod 21. The limiting strip 61 is a strip extending in the left and right direction. Since the overall thickness of the door is limited, the thickness of the handle 2 in the front and back direction is relatively small. In order to avoid the limiting strip 61 affecting the user's hand placement, in this embodiment, two limiting strips 61 are set at intervals in the left and right direction, thereby forming a gap area between the two limiting strips 61 in the middle of the main rod 21 for the user's hand to place here to push and pull the door.

[0046] Since users operate the door by pushing or pulling the handle 2, it is necessary to distribute the force on the fasteners connecting the handle 2 and the main body 1 to ensure the connection is secure and to delay loosening. Therefore, to effectively distribute the force on the fasteners when pulling the door and ensure the long-term stability of the handle 2's connection to the main body 1, the limiting strip 61 and the mounting base 621 are connected by fasteners. A second step 622 extends rearward from the upper part of the rear wall of the limiting groove 62, and a first action part 211 extends from the top of the main rod 21 towards the second step 622. The front wall of the limiting groove 62 gradually slopes rearward from top to bottom, and the front surface of the limiting strip 61 is tilted to match the tilt angle of the front wall of the limiting groove 62. Normally, when the door is opened, the fasteners are prone to loosening. Based on the structure in this embodiment, when the user pulls the handle 2 outward, an outward and upward force is generated on the handle 2. Based on the direction of this force, the first action part 211 on the handle 2 will act on the second step surface, thereby distributing the force on the fasteners. The limiting strip 61 will also act on the front wall of the limiting groove 62 based on its tilt direction, which will also distribute the force on the fasteners. This greatly reduces the force on the fasteners and ensures the long-term connection firmness.

[0047] The operation panel 3 is located on the top surface of the main body 1 and behind the handle 2. Specifically, the operation panel 3 is located on the top surface of the main frame 11 behind the first step 10.

[0048] The operation panel 3 typically includes a circuit board 31 and operation keys 32 mounted on the circuit board 31. The circuit board 31 needs to be sealed for protection. To effectively protect the circuit board 31, in this embodiment, the main frame 11 of the main body 1 includes a support frame 111 and a mounting box 112 mounted on the support frame 111. To reduce costs while ensuring strength, the support frame 111 in this embodiment includes inverted L-shaped frames respectively mounted on the left and right sides, with the two frames arranged symmetrically at the center. The mounting box 112 is mounted on the two frames. In addition, in this embodiment, the first step portion 10 is formed at the front of the top of the mounting box 112, and the second step portion 622 is formed at the top of the vertical surface of the first step portion 10.

[0049] Circuit board 31 is housed within mounting box 112, with operation keys 32 protruding from the top of mounting box 112. To avoid the aspect ratio of circuit board 31 exceeding design specifications, at least two circuit boards 31 are arranged along the left-right direction on the main body 1. The operation keys 32 on the two circuit boards 31 and their specific locations can be selected according to operating habits. To further ensure the sealing of circuit board 31, and to achieve accurate positioning and convenient installation of the two circuit boards 31, a housing 7 for fixing the two mounting circuit boards 31 can be provided. The housing 7 opens upwards; after the two circuit boards 31 are installed inside the housing 7, the housing 7 is then installed inside mounting box 112, thus achieving convenient installation on mounting box 112.

[0050] In addition, for aesthetic purposes and to avoid contaminating the operation keys 32, a cover layer 33 is affixed to the top of the mounting box 112 to cover the operation keys 32. The cover layer 33 has markings corresponding to the operation keys 32, which indicate the function of the corresponding operation keys 32, thereby facilitating user operation.

[0051] In this invention, the handle 2 and control panel 12 are positioned at the top of the main body 1 along the front-to-back direction, effectively increasing their height and allowing for convenient operation without the user having to bend over. Furthermore, a first step 10 is provided at the top of the main body 1 for the installation of the handle 2, facilitating its flush installation and allowing it to be more discreetly integrated into the door, enhancing its overall integrity and aesthetics. The handle 2's position also allows the user to accurately locate it without having to back away or turn their head, facilitating push-pull operations. Additionally, the handle 2's placement within the main body 1 allows it to function as a decorative strip, minimizing its functional role as a handle and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the door.

[0052] The aforementioned door can be installed in various household appliances, and is particularly suitable for use with appliances placed at lower positions. This utility model also relates to a cleaning machine, including a body with a forward opening and the aforementioned door, the door being openable and closable and covering the body. The cleaning machine using this door, as the main viewing interface, has well-concealed handle 2, resulting in a simple and aesthetically pleasing main interface.
