Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a washing machine control panel assembly to prevent accidental touch, including a control panel body 100 and buttons 103, a display screen 101, and knobs 102 disposed on the control panel body 100. The knobs 102 are mainly used to select washing modes, adjust washing time, number of rinses, and spin-drying time, etc. A protective mechanism is provided on the top of the control panel body 100. The protective mechanism includes protective components, including a first protective box 200 disposed outside the knob 102 and a second protective box 203 disposed outside the buttons 103. A lower strip 205 is fixedly disposed between the first protective box 200 and the second protective box 203. The lower strip 205 is rotatably connected to the control panel body 100 through two sets of rotating shafts.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Please refer to Example 2. Figures 1-5 The protective mechanism also includes a clamping assembly, which includes a mounting block 201 fixed to the top of the control panel body 100. An L-shaped baffle 204 is slidably disposed inside the mounting block 201. The L-shaped baffle 204 can reciprocate inside the mounting block 201. The lower end surface of the L-shaped baffle 204 extends to the upper surface of the lower strip 205 and contacts the upper surface of the lower strip 205.

[0030] An mounting plate 207 is fixedly provided at the end of the L-shaped baffle 204, and a first spring 208 is fixedly provided between the mounting plate 207 and the protective box 200.

[0031] The protective box 200 is also equipped with a sliding limit post 209. The L-shaped baffle 204 has a locking hole. The bottom of the limit post 209 passes through the locking hole. When the bottom of the limit post 209 passes through the locking hole, it can limit the L-shaped baffle 204. When the operator operates the knob 102 and the button 103, the protective box 200 and the protective box 203 can be opened easily. The top outer side of the limit post 209 is fixedly provided with an upper plate 211. The bottom of the upper plate 211 is fixedly provided with a second spring 210 between the bottom of the upper plate 211 and the protective box 200.

[0032] A vertical plate 202 is fixedly installed on the top of the control panel body 100. A screw rod 206 is threadedly connected inside the vertical plate 202. The screw rod 206 and the limiting plate can fix and limit the lower bar 205 in the upright state, thereby fixing and limiting the protective box 1 200 and protective box 203 in the upright state. A limiting plate is fixedly installed at the working end of the screw rod 206.

[0033] This utility model uses a protective box 200 and a protective box 203 to cover the knob 102 and the button 103 respectively, forming physical isolation to prevent users from accidentally touching the knob 102 or the button 103 when not in operation. The protective box 200, the protective box 203 and the lower bar 205 are connected to the control panel body 100 through a rotating shaft, and can be rotated and switched between "standing state" (during operation) and "folded state" (during protection), taking into account both protection needs and operational convenience.

[0034] In summary, when protecting the knob 102 and button 103, the protective boxes 1 200, 2 203, and lower bar 205 are in an upright position. Then, the screw rod 206 is rotated to the left to loosen it, causing the limiting plate at the working end of the screw rod 206 to rotate to the left. The surface of the limiting plate then no longer contacts the upright lower bar 205, releasing the limiting effect on the lower bar 205. Next, the upright protective boxes 1 200, 2 203, and lower bar 205 are rotated 90 degrees towards the front of the control panel body 100. At this point, the protective boxes 1 200, 2 203, and lower bar 205 are in a folded-down position. The protective boxes 1 200 and 2 203 then cover the corresponding knob 102 and button 103 respectively. Finally, the upper plate 211 is moved upwards, causing the limiting post 209 to... As the device moves, the second spring 210 begins to stretch, and then the bottom of the limiting post 209 disengages from the locking hole in the L-shaped baffle 204. At this point, the L-shaped baffle 204 is released from its restriction, and the first spring 208 begins to reset from its compressed state, pushing the mounting plate 207 towards the front of the control panel body 100. This causes the L-shaped baffle 204 to move towards the front of the control panel body 100 as well. Then, one end of the L-shaped baffle 204 moves to a position above the lower bar 205, thus limiting the lower bar 205. This fixes the protective boxes 1 200 and 2 203 in their collapsed state. When it is necessary to operate the knob 102 and the button 103, the protective boxes 1 200 and 2 203 can be opened by operating according to the opposite principle. At this point, the protective boxes 1 200 and 2 203 are in an upright state.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Please refer to Example 2. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lower strip 205 is equipped with a blowing component for removing dust adhering to the surface of the display screen 101. The blowing component includes:

[0037] Multiple sets of nozzles 302 are installed above the lower strip 205. The nozzles 302 can be tilted to optimize the effect of blowing dust off the surface of the display screen 101. A square tube 301 is fixedly installed on the back of the nozzles 302. An installation tube is fixedly installed on the top of the square tube 301. A valve 304 is installed on the outside of the installation tube. The valve 304 can adjust the amount of air blown out by the nozzles 302. A telescopic hose 300 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation tube. The end of the telescopic hose 300 is connected to an external blower.

[0038] Two sets of fixing plates 305 are fixedly installed on the top of the lower strip 205, and a damping shaft 303 is provided between the two sets of fixing plates 305. The mouthpiece 302 is fixed on the damping shaft 303.

[0039] This utility model, through the design of a blowing component that works in conjunction with the protective components, can blow away dust from the surface of the display screen 101 by adjusting the angle and wind force of the nozzle 302 when protecting the knob 102 and button 103. It is especially suitable for dusty outdoor environments, preventing dust accumulation from affecting the user's reading of display information and improving the human-computer interaction experience.

[0040] In summary, when used outdoors, a lot of dust can easily settle on the surface of the display screen 101, making the numbers displayed on the display screen 101 difficult to see. When the corresponding knobs 102 and buttons 103 are protected by protective boxes 1 200 and 2 203, the damping shaft 303 is rotated towards the display screen 101, causing multiple sets of nozzles 302 to rotate and tilt to a suitable angle. Then, the blower is turned on, and the blower delivers high-pressure air through the telescopic hose 300 into the installation pipe, and then into the square tube 301. The high-pressure air is blown out onto the surface of the display screen 101 through the multiple sets of nozzles 302 on the square tube 301. The air blows away the dust attached to the surface of the display screen 101, making the surface of the display screen 101 clean and easy for the operator to see the numbers displayed on the display screen 101.

[0041] In this embodiment, the control panel body 100 has two sets of mounting holes inside, through which screws or other fasteners can be used to fix the control panel body 100 in the washing machine.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical methods of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical methods of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical methods of this utility model.
