Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine folding lid technology, and more specifically, to a washing machine folding lid. Background Technology
[0002] As an important component of the washing machine, the design, function, and usage of the washing machine lid directly affect the user experience and performance of the washing machine.
[0003] Currently, common washing machine folding lids cannot automatically fix the folding and unfolding positions during use, and the length of the folded washing machine lid may be too long. For example, the folding washing machine lid and washing machine disclosed in publication number CN 222524959 U include a front cover, a rear cover and a magnetic assembly: the front cover includes a front shell, a front frame and a front stiffener plate connected to the edge of the front frame, and the outer side of the front stiffener plate forms a front mating surface; the rear cover includes a rear shell, a rear frame and a rear stiffener plate connected to the edge of the rear frame, and the outer side of the rear stiffener plate forms a rear mating surface.
[0004] As can be seen from the above-disclosed solution, the front and rear covers of the folding washing machine lid cannot be automatically fixed in their folded position after being folded, nor can they be automatically fixed in their unfolded position, which causes inconvenience to the user. Moreover, the length of the washing machine lid is too long after the front and rear covers are folded, which may affect its use. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding cover for a washing machine. This folding cover, through the setting of a clearance groove, a shaft, a slider, and a sliding groove, allows the second cover to slide and fold inwards towards the inside of the first cover after the washing machine cover is opened, greatly reducing the length of the folded washing machine cover. Furthermore, through the setting of a spring, a slider, and a clearance groove, the second cover can be automatically fixed in the folding and unfolding positions by the tension of the spring, improving the convenience of use.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0007] A folding lid for a washing machine includes a folding lid body comprising a first lid and a second lid, which are movably connected. A hinge connector is fixedly connected to one end of the first lid, and a sliding groove is formed at the other end of the first lid. A spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding groove. A first magnetic sealing assembly is provided on the closed surface of the first lid. A handle groove is formed at one end of the second lid, and a clearance groove is formed at the other end. A slider is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the clearance groove. A second magnetic sealing assembly is provided on the closed surface of the second lid. This folding lid, through the clearance groove, shaft, slider, and sliding groove, allows the second lid to slide and fold inwards towards the inside of the first lid after the washing machine lid is opened, greatly reducing the length of the folded washing machine lid. Furthermore, the spring, slider, and clearance groove allow the second lid to automatically fix its folding and unfolding positions using the spring tension, improving ease of use.
[0008] Furthermore, the first magnetic sealing assembly includes a first adsorption block, which is fixedly embedded in the surface of the first cover. A first buffer sheet is fixedly connected to the surface of the first cover. The first adsorption block is made of a strong magnet and magnetically adsorbs a first iron sheet. The first iron sheet is fixedly embedded in the surface of the washing machine and can fix the closed position of the first cover by magnetic adsorption force.
[0009] Furthermore, the second magnetic sealing assembly includes a second adsorption block, which is fixedly embedded in the surface of the second cover. A second buffer sheet is fixedly connected to the surface of the second cover. The second adsorption block is made of the same material as the first adsorption block. The second adsorption block magnetically adsorbs a second iron sheet, which is fixedly embedded in the surface of the washing machine. The closed position of the second cover can be fixed by magnetic adsorption force.
[0010] Furthermore, a shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clearance groove, and a shaft hole is opened on the surface of the slider. The inner wall of the shaft hole is rotatably connected to the surface of the shaft. The clearance groove has a clearance function, which facilitates the slider to rotate 90 degrees.
[0011] Furthermore, a connecting post is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider, an anti-detachment block is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting post, the surface of the connecting post is fixedly connected to one end of the spring, and the other end of the spring is fixed with the same connecting piece, ensuring the connection stability of the two ends of the spring.
[0012] Furthermore, the first and second buffer sheets have the same thickness, and both are made of buffer film, serving a buffering and sealing function.
[0013] Furthermore, a rubber pad is provided between the first cover and the second cover. The rubber pad is made of cushioning rubber, which can prevent wear between the first cover and the second cover.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0015] (1) This solution, through the setting of the clearance groove, shaft, slider and slide groove, allows the second cover to slide and fold into the inside of the first cover after the washing machine cover is opened, which greatly reduces the length of the washing machine cover after folding.
[0016] (2) This solution uses springs, sliders and clearance grooves to enable the second cover to be automatically fixed in folding and unfolding positions by the tension of the springs, which improves the ease of use. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 A washing machine folding lid includes a washing machine folding lid body 1, which includes a first lid 2 and a second lid 3. The first lid 2 and the second lid 3 are movably connected. A hinge connector 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the first lid 2, and a sliding groove 24 is opened at the other end of the first lid 2. A spring 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding groove 24. When the second lid 3 is unfolded, the spring 25 is in a state of tension and elasticity, which can fix the unfolded position of the second lid 3. At the same time, when the second lid 3 is folded, it can be automatically slid and folded by pulling force, and its folded position is fixed. A first magnetic sealing assembly is provided on the closed surface of the first lid 2. The first magnetic sealing assembly includes a first adsorption block 22, which is fixedly embedded in the surface of the first lid 2. A first buffer sheet 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first lid 2. 3. The first adsorption block 22 is made of a strong magnet. The first adsorption block 22 magnetically adsorbs a first iron sheet. The first iron sheet is fixedly embedded in the surface of the washing machine. The closed position of the first cover 2 can be fixed by magnetic adsorption force. One end of the second cover 3 has a handle groove 39, and the other end of the second cover 3 has a clearance groove 31. The inner wall of the clearance groove 31 is rotatably connected to a slider 33. The closed surface of the second cover 3 is provided with a second magnetic sealing assembly. The second magnetic sealing assembly includes a second adsorption block 37. The second adsorption block 37 is fixedly embedded in the surface of the second cover 3. A second buffer sheet 38 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second cover 3. The second adsorption block 37 is made of the same material as the first adsorption block 22. The second adsorption block 37 magnetically adsorbs a second iron sheet. The second iron sheet is fixedly embedded in the surface of the washing machine. The closed position of the second cover 3 can be fixed by magnetic adsorption force.
[0027] A shaft 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clearance groove 31. A shaft hole 34 is opened on the surface of the slider 33. The inner wall of the shaft hole 34 is rotatably connected to the surface of the shaft 32. The clearance groove 31 has a clearance function, which facilitates the slider 33 to rotate 90 degrees. A connecting post 35 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 33. An anti-detachment block 36 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting post 35. The surface of the connecting post 35 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 25. The other end of the spring 25 is fixed with the same connecting piece. The connecting piece is fixed to the bottom of the slide groove 24. The slide groove 24 and the slider 33 are both T-shaped, which ensures the connection stability of the two ends of the spring 25.
[0028] The first buffer sheet 23 and the second buffer sheet 38 have the same thickness. Both the first buffer sheet 23 and the second buffer sheet 38 are made of buffer film. The first buffer sheet 23 and the second buffer sheet 38 have the function of buffer sealing. The elastic strength of the first buffer sheet 23 and the second buffer sheet 38 is less than the magnetic adsorption strength of the adsorption block, so it will not affect the magnetic fixation of the cover. A rubber pad 4 is provided between the first cover 2 and the second cover 3. The rubber pad 4 is made of buffer rubber, which can prevent wear between the first cover 2 and the second cover 3.
[0029] When the second cover 3 of the washing machine needs to be folded, the handle groove 39 can be grasped and the second cover 3 slightly moved to the right, and then the second cover 3 moved downwards, causing one end of the second cover 3 to be misaligned with one end of the first cover 2. This causes the slider 33 to rotate 90 degrees, and then, through the pulling force of the spring 25, the second cover 3 slides to the left and folds inside the first cover 2. When the second cover 3 needs to be unfolded, the handle groove 39 can be grasped and the second cover 3 pulled to the right, causing the second cover 3 to move to the right, so that the left end... When the right end of the first cover 2 is moved to the right, the spring 25 is stretched to its position. At the same time, one end of the slider 33 is at one end of the slide groove 24 and will not detach from the slide groove 24. Then the second cover 3 is moved upward so that one end of the second cover 3 is aligned with one end of the first cover 2. At this time, the slider 33 rotates ninety degrees and enters the opening at one end of the slide groove 24 under the pull of the spring 25. This can limit the unfolded position of the second cover 3 and prevent it from moving out of place. At the same time, the pull force makes the first cover 2 and the second cover 3 squeeze and position each other.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
