Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dishwasher technology, and in particular to panel assemblies, door bodies, and dishwashers. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate user operation, existing dishwashers typically have their control panel mounted on the door. This panel has multiple openings for indicator lights, displays, buttons, and other components. However, the gaps between these openings and the components allow water or oil to seep in, leading to water damage to the control panel. Therefore, ensuring the water resistance of the dishwasher door control panel remains a technical challenge that needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a panel assembly, a door, and a dishwasher to address the waterproofing issue of the dishwasher door panel assembly.

[0004] A panel assembly includes: a panel body having a light-transmitting hole; a light-transmitting element integrally formed with the panel body, the light-transmitting element including a light-transmitting element body and a light-transmitting protrusion, the light-transmitting element body being disposed on the panel body, the light-transmitting protrusion being disposed on the light-transmitting element body and extending into the light-transmitting hole, the light-transmitting protrusion being adapted to the light-transmitting hole; and a circuit board assembly including a circuit board body and a light-emitting element, the circuit board body being disposed on the panel body and / or the light-transmitting element, the circuit board body being located on the side of the light-transmitting element away from the panel body, and the light-emitting element being disposed on the circuit board body and opposite to the light-transmitting protrusion.

[0005] The panel assembly disclosed in this application features a light-transmitting protrusion that extends into and fits into a light-transmitting hole, while simultaneously being positioned opposite to a light-emitting element on the circuit board assembly. This design achieves precise light transmission and focusing. Light emitted from the light-emitting element can directly enter the light-transmitting protrusion, efficiently transmitting it towards the light-transmitting hole. The light-transmitting element and the panel body are integrally molded, providing a robust foundation for the entire panel assembly and preventing dust and moisture intrusion that could occur due to gaps. The fitting and coordination between the light-transmitting protrusion and the light-transmitting hole, along with the relative positioning of the light-emitting element and the light-transmitting protrusion, result in a more regular and clear pattern or indicator effect formed by light passing through the panel, enhancing the product's visual appeal. The integral molding design of the light-transmitting element and the panel body simplifies the panel assembly manufacturing process. Compared to panel manufacturing using a splicing method, integral molding reduces assembly steps and connection processes, lowers the probability of errors during production, and improves production efficiency. When the panel assembly malfunctions, its structural design facilitates maintenance and repair. Since the circuit board body is located on the panel body and / or the light-transmitting element, maintenance personnel can easily disassemble the circuit board assembly for inspection and repair. The integrated molding of this solution can be achieved by secondary injection molding of the panel body and the light-transmitting component. The panel body is made of opaque material, while the light-transmitting component is made of transparent material. The panel body and the light-transmitting component are integrated through secondary injection molding, reducing the risk of water or steam entering the panel body.

[0006] In one embodiment, there are multiple light-transmitting protrusions, each disposed on the main body of the light-transmitting component. There are also multiple light-emitting components, arranged opposite to the light-transmitting protrusions. This arrangement of multiple light-transmitting protrusions and light-emitting components allows for a wider variety of display content. Each light-transmitting protrusion and its corresponding light-emitting component can form an independent display unit. By controlling the brightness and color changes of different light-emitting components, various patterns, text, or indicator light states can be displayed. For example, on a smart home appliance panel, multiple light-transmitting protrusions and light-emitting components can be used to display different function modes, operating statuses, temperature values, and other information, allowing users to intuitively and clearly understand the device's operating status, greatly improving the convenience and intuitiveness of human-computer interaction.

[0007] In one embodiment, there are multiple light-transmitting main bodies, and multiple light-transmitting protrusions are respectively disposed on multiple light-transmitting main bodies. By having multiple light-transmitting main bodies each support multiple light-transmitting protrusions, more flexible and diverse functional partitioning and combinations can be achieved. Different light-transmitting main bodies and their light-transmitting protrusions can correspond to different functional modules or information display areas of the device. For devices with complex functions, the arrangement of multiple light-transmitting main bodies can better meet their display and control needs.

[0008] In one embodiment, the panel body includes a panel housing and a light-shielding member. The light-shielding member is disposed on the panel housing, and the light-transmitting member body has a clearance hole located between adjacent light-transmitting protrusions. The light-shielding member extends through the clearance hole to between adjacent light-emitting members. By extending the light-shielding member through the clearance hole to between adjacent light-emitting members, crosstalk between light emitted by adjacent light-emitting members can be effectively blocked. In a panel assembly with multiple light-emitting members and light-transmitting protrusions densely arranged, without a light-shielding member, light may scatter into adjacent display areas, resulting in blurred display content or interfering light spots. The presence of the light-shielding member helps optimize the focusing effect of light. It confines the light emitted by each light-emitting member to the corresponding light-transmitting protrusion area, reducing light diffusion and allowing light to be more concentratedly transmitted through the light-transmitting protrusion.

[0009] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting protrusion is a first protrusion, which is a rectangular protrusion. As a rectangular protrusion, the regular geometry of the first protrusion provides an efficient path for light transmission. The four right angles and relatively parallel sides of the rectangle make it easier for light to maintain its directionality during transmission, reducing scattering loss during transmission.

[0010] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting protrusion is a first protrusion, and the main body of the light-transmitting element has a first light-transmitting groove. The first light-transmitting groove is located on the side of the main body of the light-transmitting element away from the first protrusion, and the first light-transmitting groove is disposed opposite to the first protrusion. The light-emitting element is a first light-emitting element, and the first light-emitting element is columnar. The design of the first light-transmitting groove helps to enhance the concentration of light. The shape and structure of the groove can converge the light emitted by the first light-emitting element, making it more concentrated when it enters the first protrusion, thereby improving the brightness and clarity of the display area. The combination of the first light-transmitting groove, the first protrusion, and the columnar first light-emitting element can present a clear and sharp display image. Due to the high efficiency and concentration of light transmission, the edges of the display area are clearer, and the outlines of text and patterns are more distinct.

[0011] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the wall of the light-transmitting hole is inclined, and at least a portion of the sidewall of the light-transmitting protrusion is inclined, with the inclined portion of the protrusion adapting to the inclined surface of the light-transmitting hole. This adaptation of the inclined portion of the protrusion to the inclined surface of the light-transmitting hole creates a structural fit, allowing for a tight fit during installation and precise positioning. This tight fit prevents depressions near the light-transmitting hole during injection molding, reduces gaps and looseness between components, and ensures that the light-transmitting protrusion is less likely to detach from or shift from the light-transmitting hole during equipment operation, even under vibration or external impact, thus guaranteeing the stability of the panel assembly structure. It also increases strength and reduces deformation.

[0012] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting protrusion is a second protrusion, which includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion. The first protrusion is disposed on the main body of the light-transmitting component, and the second protrusion is disposed on the first protrusion. The layered structure of the second protrusion can more effectively disperse stress when subjected to external forces. When the panel is impacted or squeezed, the external force will act sequentially on the second protrusion and the first protrusion, with both protrusions sharing the external force, preventing stress concentration in one area.

[0013] In one embodiment, the projection of the second protrusion toward the circuit board assembly is located within the area of ​​the first protrusion. This structural design, where the projection of the second protrusion toward the circuit board assembly is within the area of ​​the first protrusion, ensures precise light transmission. The second protrusion can better focus light within the area defined by the first protrusion, reducing light scattering and leakage.

[0014] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting hole includes a limiting groove and a through hole. The panel body is provided with the limiting groove, and the bottom of the limiting groove is provided with the through hole. The sidewall of the second protrusion is an inclined surface, and the sidewall of the limiting groove is adapted to the inclined surface of the second protrusion. The first protrusion extends to the through hole. This design, by adapting the sidewall of the limiting groove to the inclined surface of the second protrusion, achieves a tight fit between the second protrusion and the light-transmitting hole. During installation, the second protrusion can smoothly embed itself along the inclined sidewall of the limiting groove, ensuring accurate installation.

[0015] In one embodiment, the main body of the light-transmitting component has a second light-transmitting groove located on the side of the main body away from the second protrusion. The first light-transmitting groove is disposed opposite to the second protrusion, and the projection of the light-transmitting hole toward the main body of the circuit board is located within the range of the second light-transmitting groove. The arrangement of the second light-transmitting groove and the second protrusion cooperate to form a more efficient light transmission path. The fact that the projection of the light-transmitting hole toward the main body of the circuit board is located within the range of the second light-transmitting groove ensures that the light remains under control throughout the transmission process, preventing poor side edge display effects as perceived by the user.

[0016] In one embodiment, the main body of the light-transmitting element has a second light-transmitting groove located on the side of the main body away from the second protrusion. The second light-transmitting groove is positioned opposite to the second protrusion. The light-emitting element is a second light-emitting element, which is rectangular and adapted to the second light-transmitting groove. This fitted structure of the rectangular second light-emitting element and the second light-transmitting groove provides precise guidance for light transmission. The four sides of the rectangle fit tightly against the inner wall of the second light-transmitting groove, allowing light to propagate along a specific path during transmission, minimizing deviation. In the information display panel of electronic devices, this precise light guidance ensures that light is accurately projected onto the corresponding light-transmitting protrusions and holes, resulting in clear edges on displayed text, patterns, and other content, avoiding blurring or ghosting, and improving the quality and readability of the displayed image.

[0017] In one embodiment, the panel body has a mounting slot, where both the light-transmitting element and the circuit board assembly are located. The mounting slot provides dedicated mounting space for the light-transmitting element and the circuit board assembly, allowing them to be compactly and orderly integrated onto the panel body. This design avoids the layout chaos caused by haphazard component installation, ensuring a compact and rational internal structure of the panel. For example, in a smartwatch panel, the mounting slot can precisely position the light-transmitting element and the circuit board assembly, making full use of limited space to achieve the dual goals of functional integration and a slim, lightweight appearance, thus improving the overall quality and portability of the product.

[0018] In one embodiment, the panel body includes a panel housing and a limiting shell. The limiting shell is disposed on the panel housing and has a mounting groove. The light-transmitting element and the circuit board assembly are both located in the mounting groove. The panel body, composed of the panel housing and the limiting shell, with the limiting shell on the panel housing and having a mounting groove, provides dual structural support for the light-transmitting element and the circuit board assembly. During equipment operation, even under strong vibration or external impact, the limiting shell and the panel housing work together to effectively disperse stress, prevent deformation of the mounting groove, and ensure the stability of the mounting position of the light-transmitting element and the circuit board assembly.

[0019] In one embodiment, the panel body includes a panel housing, a limiting shell, and a cover. The limiting shell is disposed on the panel housing and has a mounting groove. The light-transmitting element and the circuit board assembly are both located in the mounting groove. The cover is disposed on the panel housing and / or the limiting shell, and covers the opening of the mounting groove. The cover, together with the limiting shell and the panel housing, forms a more robust protective structure at the opening of the mounting groove. This effectively prevents external dust, moisture, oil, and other impurities from entering the mounting groove, avoiding damage to the light-transmitting element and the circuit board assembly. It ensures the normal operation of the circuit board assembly and extends the service life of the panel assembly. For electronic device panels used outdoors, the cover effectively resists water vapor, ensuring stable operation of the equipment in harsh environments.

[0020] The second aspect of this application discloses a door body, comprising: a door body main body; and a panel assembly of any of the preceding claims, wherein the panel assembly is disposed on the door body main body.

[0021] The door disclosed in this application has a panel assembly mounted on the main body of the door, making the operating area centralized and easy to access. Users can operate the relevant functions of the door directly through the panel assembly without having to search for or move the door.

[0022] A third aspect of this application discloses a dishwasher, including the aforementioned door.

[0023] The dishwasher disclosed in this application makes the operation feedback more intuitive through clear interactive instructions and good visual effects on the panel components. When the user selects a washing mode, the panel components will provide clear feedback through light changes, graphic prompts, and other means to confirm that the operation has been successfully executed.

[0045] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0046] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0047] The panel assembly, door, and dishwasher of some embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, this embodiment discloses a panel assembly, including a panel body 1, the panel body 1 having a light-transmitting hole 101; a light-transmitting element 2, the light-transmitting element 2 being integrally formed with the panel body 1, the light-transmitting element 2 including a light-transmitting element body 21 and a light-transmitting protrusion 22, the light-transmitting element body 21 being disposed on the panel body 1, the light-transmitting protrusion 22 being disposed on the light-transmitting element body 21 and extending into the light-transmitting hole 101, the light-transmitting protrusion 22 being adapted to the light-transmitting hole 101; and a circuit board assembly 3, the circuit board assembly 3 including a circuit board body 31 and a light-emitting element 32, the circuit board body 31 being disposed on the panel body 1 and / or the light-transmitting element 2, the circuit board body 31 being located on the side of the light-transmitting element 2 away from the panel body 1, and the light-emitting element 32 being disposed on the circuit board body 31 and opposite to the light-transmitting protrusion 22.

[0049] The panel assembly disclosed in this application extends and fits into the light-transmitting hole 101 via a light-transmitting protrusion 22, and is positioned opposite to the light-emitting element 32 on the circuit board assembly 3. This design achieves precise light transmission and focusing. The light emitted by the light-emitting element 32 can directly enter the light-transmitting protrusion 22, efficiently transmitting the light to the direction of the light-transmitting hole 101. The light-transmitting element 2 is integrally formed with the panel body 1, providing a solid foundation structure for the entire panel assembly and avoiding the intrusion of dust and moisture that may occur due to gaps. The fitting and matching of the light-transmitting protrusion 22 with the light-transmitting hole 101, and the relative positioning of the light-emitting element 32 with the light-transmitting protrusion 22, result in a more regular and clear pattern or indicator effect formed by light passing through the panel, enhancing the visual appeal of the product. The integral design of the light-transmitting element 2 with the panel body 1 simplifies the manufacturing process of the panel assembly. Compared to manufacturing panels using a splicing method, integral molding reduces assembly steps and connection processes, lowers the probability of errors in the production process, and improves production efficiency. When the panel assembly malfunctions, its structural design facilitates maintenance and repair. Since the circuit board body 31 is mounted on the panel body 1 and / or the light-transmitting element 2, maintenance personnel can easily disassemble the circuit board assembly 3 for inspection and repair. The integrated molding of this solution can be achieved through secondary injection molding of the panel body 1 and the light-transmitting element 2. The panel body 1 is made of opaque material, while the light-transmitting element 2 is made of transparent material. The panel body 1 and the light-transmitting element 2 are integrated through secondary injection molding, reducing the risk of water or steam entering the panel body 1.

[0050] like Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of light-transmitting protrusions 22 is multiple, and the multiple light-transmitting protrusions 22 are respectively disposed on the light-transmitting body 21; the number of light-emitting elements 32 is multiple, and the multiple light-emitting elements 32 are disposed opposite to the multiple light-transmitting protrusions 22. The multiple light-transmitting protrusions 22 and the multiple light-emitting elements 32 disposed opposite to each other can realize richer and more diverse display content. Each light-transmitting protrusion 22 and its corresponding light-emitting element 32 can form an independent display unit. By controlling the on / off state and color change of different light-emitting elements 32, various patterns, text, or indicator light states can be displayed. For example, on a smart home appliance panel, the multiple light-transmitting protrusions 22 and the light-emitting elements 32 can be used to display different function modes, working states, temperature values, and other information, allowing users to intuitively and clearly understand the device's operating status, greatly improving the convenience and intuitiveness of human-computer interaction.

[0051] like Figure 14 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the number of light-transmitting main bodies 21 is multiple, and multiple light-transmitting protrusions 22 are respectively disposed on multiple light-transmitting main bodies 21. By having multiple light-transmitting main bodies 21 each carrying multiple light-transmitting protrusions 22, more flexible and diverse functional partitioning and combinations can be achieved. Different light-transmitting main bodies 21 and their light-transmitting protrusions 22 can respectively correspond to different functional modules or information display areas of the device. For devices with complex functions, the arrangement of multiple light-transmitting main bodies 21 can better meet their display and control needs.

[0052] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the panel body 1 further includes a panel housing 11 and a light-shielding member 12. The light-shielding member 12 is disposed on the panel housing 11, and the light-transmitting member body 21 is provided with a clearance hole 203. The clearance hole 203 is located between adjacent light-transmitting protrusions 22, and the light-shielding member 12 extends through the clearance hole 203 to the space between adjacent light-emitting members 32. By extending through the clearance hole 203 of the light-transmitting member body 21 to the space between adjacent light-emitting members 32, the crosstalk between the light emitted by adjacent light-emitting members 32 can be effectively blocked. In a panel assembly with multiple light-emitting members 32 and light-transmitting protrusions 22 densely arranged, without the light-shielding member 12, light may be scattered to adjacent display areas, resulting in blurred display content or interference spots. The presence of the light-shielding member 12 helps to optimize the focusing effect of light. It confines the light emitted by each light-emitting member 32 to the corresponding light-transmitting protrusion 22 area, reduces light diffusion, and makes the light more concentrated to be conducted through the light-transmitting protrusion 22.

[0053] like Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the light-transmitting protrusion 22 is a first protrusion 221, and the first protrusion 221 is a rectangular protrusion. As a rectangular protrusion, the regular geometric shape of the first protrusion 221 provides an efficient path for light transmission. The four right angles and relatively parallel sides of the rectangle make it easier for light to maintain its directionality during transmission, reducing scattering loss during transmission.

[0054] like Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, further, the light-transmitting protrusion 22 is a first protrusion 221, and the main body 21 of the light-transmitting component is provided with a first light-transmitting groove 201. The first light-transmitting groove 201 is located on the side of the main body 21 away from the first protrusion 221, and the first light-transmitting groove 201 is arranged opposite to the first protrusion 221. The light-emitting component 32 is a first light-emitting component 321, which is columnar. The design of the first light-transmitting groove 201 helps to enhance the concentration of light. The shape and structure of the groove can converge the light emitted by the first light-emitting component 321, making it more concentrated when entering the first protrusion 221, thereby improving the brightness and clarity of the display area. The combination of the first light-transmitting groove 201, the first protrusion 221, and the columnar first light-emitting component 321 can present a clear and sharp display image. Due to the high efficiency and concentration of light transmission, the edges of the display area are clearer, and the outlines of text and patterns are more distinct.

[0055] like Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, at least a portion of the wall of the light-transmitting hole 101 is inclined, and at least a portion of the sidewall of the light-transmitting protrusion 22 is inclined, with the inclined portion of the protrusion 22 matching the inclined surface of the light-transmitting hole 101. This matching of the inclined portion of the protrusion 22 with the inclined surface of the light-transmitting hole 101 creates a structural fit, allowing for a tight fit during installation and precise positioning. This tight fit prevents depressions near the light-transmitting hole 101 during injection molding, reduces gaps and looseness between components, and ensures that the protrusion 22 is not easily dislodged or displaced from the light-transmitting hole 101 during equipment operation, even under vibration or external impact, thus guaranteeing the stability of the panel assembly structure. It also increases strength and reduces deformation.

[0056] like Figure 9As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the light-transmitting protrusion 22 is a second protrusion 222, and the second protrusion 222 includes a first protrusion 2221 and a second protrusion 2222. The first protrusion 2221 is disposed on the light-transmitting body 21, and the second protrusion 2222 is disposed on the first protrusion 2221. The layered structure of the second protrusion 222 can more effectively disperse stress when subjected to external force. When the panel is impacted or squeezed, the external force will act sequentially on the second protrusion 2222 and the first protrusion 2221, with the two protrusions jointly bearing the external force, preventing stress concentration in one place.

[0057] like Figure 9 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that the projection of the second protrusion 2222 toward the circuit board assembly 3 is located within the area of ​​the first protrusion 2221. This structural design, where the projection of the second protrusion 2222 toward the circuit board assembly 3 is located within the area of ​​the first protrusion 2221, ensures the accuracy of light transmission. The second protrusion 2222 can better focus light within the area defined by the first protrusion 2221, reducing light scattering and leakage.

[0058] like Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the light-transmitting hole 101 further includes a limiting groove 1011 and a through hole 1012. The panel body 1 is provided with the limiting groove 1011, and the bottom of the limiting groove 1011 is provided with the through hole 1012. The sidewall of the second protrusion 2222 is an inclined surface. The sidewall of the limiting groove 1011 is adapted to the inclined surface of the second protrusion 2222, and the first protrusion 2221 extends to the through hole 1012. By adapting the sidewall of the limiting groove 1011 to the inclined surface of the second protrusion 2222, this design achieves a tight fit between the second protrusion 222 and the light-transmitting hole 101. During installation, the second protrusion 2222 can be smoothly inserted along the inclined sidewall of the limiting groove 1011, ensuring accurate installation.

[0059] like Figure 12 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the light-transmitting component body 21 is provided with a second light-transmitting groove 202, the second light-transmitting groove 202 is located on the side of the light-transmitting component body 21 away from the second protrusion 222, the second light-transmitting groove 202 is arranged opposite to the second protrusion 222, and the projection of the light-transmitting hole 101 toward the circuit board body 31 is located within the range of the second light-transmitting groove 202. The arrangement of the second light-transmitting groove 202 and the second protrusion 222 cooperate with each other to form a more efficient light transmission path. The projection of the light-transmitting hole 101 toward the circuit board body 31 is located within the range of the second light-transmitting groove 202, ensuring that the light is always under control during the entire transmission process, preventing poor side edge display effect seen by the user.

[0060] like Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, the main body 21 of the light-transmitting component further includes a second light-transmitting groove 202. The second light-transmitting groove 202 is located on the side of the main body 21 away from the second protrusion 222. The first light-transmitting groove 201 is positioned opposite to the second protrusion 222. The light-emitting component 32 is a second light-emitting component 322, which is rectangular and adapted to the second light-transmitting groove 202. This adaptation structure between the rectangular second light-emitting component 322 and the second light-transmitting groove 202 provides precise guidance for light transmission. The four sides of the rectangle fit tightly against the inner wall of the second light-transmitting groove 202, allowing light to propagate along a specific path during transmission without easily deviating. In the information display panel of an electronic device, this precise light guidance ensures that light is accurately projected onto the corresponding light-transmitting protrusion 22 and light-transmitting hole 101, making the edges of displayed text, patterns, and other content clear, avoiding blurring or ghosting, and improving the quality and readability of the displayed image.

[0061] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: the panel body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 102, and the light-transmitting element 2 and the circuit board assembly 3 are both located in the mounting groove 102. The mounting groove 102 on the panel body 1 provides dedicated mounting space for the light-transmitting element 2 and the circuit board assembly 3, allowing them to be compactly and orderly integrated onto the panel body 1. This design avoids the layout chaos caused by arbitrary component installation, ensuring a compact and reasonable internal structure of the panel. For example, in a smartwatch panel, the mounting groove 102 can precisely position the light-transmitting element 2 and the circuit board assembly 3, making full use of limited space to achieve the dual goals of functional integration and a thin and light appearance, improving the overall texture and portability of the product.

[0062] As shown in the figure Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the panel body 1 further includes a panel housing 11 and a limiting shell 13. The limiting shell 13 is disposed on the panel housing 11 and has a mounting groove 102. The light-transmitting element 2 and the circuit board assembly 3 are both located in the mounting groove 102. The panel body 1 is composed of the panel housing 11 and the limiting shell 13. The limiting shell 13 is disposed on the panel housing 11 and has a mounting groove 102, providing dual structural support for the light-transmitting element 2 and the circuit board assembly 3. During equipment operation, even if subjected to strong vibration or external impact, the limiting shell 13 and the panel housing 11 work together to effectively disperse stress, prevent deformation of the mounting groove 102, and ensure the stability of the installation position of the light-transmitting element 2 and the circuit board assembly 3.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the panel body 1 further includes a panel housing 11, a limiting shell 13, and a cover 14. The limiting shell 13 is disposed on the panel housing 11 and has a mounting groove 102. The light-transmitting element 2 and the circuit board assembly 3 are both located in the mounting groove 102. The cover 14 is disposed on the panel housing 11 and / or the limiting shell 13, and covers the opening of the mounting groove 102. The cover 14, covering the opening of the mounting groove 102, forms a more robust protective structure with the limiting shell 13 and the panel housing 11. It can effectively prevent external dust, moisture, oil, and other impurities from entering the mounting groove 102, avoiding damage to the light-transmitting element 2 and the circuit board assembly 3. It ensures the normal operation of the circuit board assembly 3 and extends the service life of the panel assembly. For electronic device panels used outdoors, the cover 14 can effectively resist water vapor, ensuring stable operation of the equipment in harsh environments.

[0064] like Figure 15 As shown, this embodiment discloses a door body, including: a door body 100; and a panel assembly 200 of any of the preceding items, wherein the panel assembly 200 is disposed on the door body 100.

[0065] The door disclosed in this application has a panel assembly 200 mounted on the door body 100, making the operation area centralized and easy to access. Users can directly operate the relevant functions of the door through the panel assembly 200 without having to search for or move the door.

[0066] This embodiment discloses a dishwasher, including the aforementioned door body.

[0067] The dishwasher disclosed in this application makes the operation feedback more intuitive through clear interactive instructions and good visual effects on the panel component 200. When the user selects a washing mode, the panel component 200 will provide clear feedback through light changes, graphic prompts, etc., to let the user confirm that the operation has been successfully executed.

[0068] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
