[0027] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0028] Example
[0029] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a plastic cover for a washing machine includes: a top frame 1, a cover plate 3 movably connected to the rear side of the top frame 1, a limiting block 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 3, a placement groove 7 opened on the front side of the cover plate 3, a movable rod 9 movably connected to the inner cavity of the placement groove 7, a cavity 10 opened at the top of the movable rod 9, a spring 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the cavity 10, an insertion rod 12 fixedly connected to the top of the spring 11, a toggle block 13 fixedly connected to the front side of the insertion rod 12, a slot 14 opened on the front side of the movable rod 9, the front side of the toggle block 13 movably passes through the slot 14, and an insertion hole 16 opened at the top of the inner cavity of the placement groove 7, with the insertion rod 12 and the insertion hole 16 matching each other.
[0030] In this embodiment, screws 2 are movably inserted on both the front and rear sides of the top frame 1. The four screws 2 are arranged in a rectangular array, which makes it easy to fix the device on the washing machine.
[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom of the cover plate 3 is provided with two hinges 4. The cover plate 3 is movably connected to the rear side of the top frame 1 through the hinges 4. The cover plate 3 is fixedly connected with a handle 6, which is close to the top of the cover plate 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, the limiting block 5 is located near the center of the cover plate 3, and the limiting block 5 is in contact with the rear side of the top frame 1. By setting the limiting block 5, the limiting block 5 can support and fix the cover plate 3 after it is opened.
[0033] In this embodiment, grooves 8 are provided on both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the placement groove 7. The grooves 8 are close to the top of the placement groove 7. The grooves 8 facilitate the unfolding of the movable rod 9 stored inside the placement groove 7.
[0034] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 15 is fixedly provided through the movable rod 9 near the bottom end. The rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the placement groove 7. By setting the rotating shaft 15, the movable rod 9 can be rotated around the rotating shaft 15 as the center, thereby enabling the movable rod 9 to be stored and unfolded.
[0035] In this embodiment, the slot 14 and the cavity 10 are interconnected, and the slot 14 and the actuating block 13 are matched.
[0036] Implementation plan: During use, the screw 2 facilitates the fixed installation of the device on the washing machine. Then, the actuating block 13 is moved downwards. The actuating block 13 moves in the inner cavity of the slot 14. The actuating block 13 drives the insertion rod 12 to move downwards. The insertion rod 12 moves downwards and compresses the spring 11. The insertion rod 12 moves to be stored inside the cavity 10. Then, the movable rod 9 is flipped backwards. The movable rod 9 is flipped backwards with the pivot 15 as the center. The movable rod 9 is stored in the inner cavity of the placement slot 7. Then, the force of the actuating block 13 is released. The insertion rod 12 moves upwards under the action of the spring 11. The insertion rod 12 moves upwards to be inserted into the inner cavity of the insertion hole 16. In this way, the movable rod 9 is stored and fixed in the inner cavity of the placement slot 7. Then, the cover plate 3 is flipped. The cover plate 3 is flipped forward with the hinge 4 as the center. The cover plate 3 covers the top of the top frame 1, thereby sealing the top of the washing machine.
[0037] When hand-washed clothes need to be drained, the cover plate 3 is flipped upward by the handle 6. The cover plate 3 flips backward around the hinge 4, causing the limiting block 5 to flip and fit against the rear side of the top frame 1. The limiting block 5 supports and fixes the cover plate 3 after it is opened. Then, the actuating block 13 is moved downward. The actuating block 13 moves within the cavity of the slot 14, causing the insert rod 12 to move downward. The insert rod 12 moves downward and compresses the spring 11, moving the insert rod 12 to the storage position. Inside the cavity 10, the insertion rod 12 is moved away from the insertion hole 16, thereby releasing the fixation of the movable rod 9. Then, the movable rod 9 is flipped forward and then flipped backward around the pivot 15. The movable rod 9 is flipped to the inner cavity away from the placement slot 7. Then, the force of the actuating block 13 is released, and the movable rod 9 is flipped to a horizontal state. At this time, the bottom of the movable rod 9 rests on the top of the top frame 1. Then, the hand-washed clothes that need to be drained are hung on the movable rod 9. The drained water is stored inside the washing machine and can be used for subsequent washing of clothes, which greatly saves water resources.
[0038] The cover plate 3 of this device has multiple functions. When it is necessary to drain hand-washed clothes, first open the cover plate 3, then move the toggle block 13 to release the fixation of the movable rod 9, then unfold the movable rod 9 and flip it to a horizontal state. At this time, the bottom of the movable rod 9 rests on the top of the top frame 1. Then hang the hand-washed clothes that need to be drained on the movable rod 9. That is, the cover plate 3 of this device has multiple functions. It can be used for sealing operation when the washing machine is working, and it can also be used to hang clothes that need to be drained, which facilitates the washing of clothes.
[0039] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
[0040] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
