[0001] This application relates to the field of fabric processing equipment technology, and in particular to a top cover structure and fabric processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people have increasingly higher requirements for the functions and performance of home appliances. Fabric processing equipment, such as washing machines, is one of the most commonly used household appliances, and its functions are constantly being upgraded and improved.

[0003] Traditional washing machines, such as top-loading washing machines, generally consist of a cabinet and a top cover. Some of the functional components, such as electrical components, are directly assembled into the top cover housing. Wiring is then embedded within the top cover housing. Finally, a waterproof membrane is placed over the top cover housing to cover these functional components, thus providing waterproofing.

[0004] However, the top cover structure formed by the above-mentioned design has a height difference between the internal functional components and the waterproof plate, resulting in poor waterproofing. Furthermore, arranging multiple functional components on the top cover seat increases the assembly process and makes the wiring more messy.

[0059] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0060] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application. The singular forms “a,” “said,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “Multiple” generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.

[0061] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0062] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.

[0063] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of this application provides a top cover structure 100 that can be applied to a fabric processing device 10 for closing or opening a second opening (not shown) formed on the top of a fabric processing drum (not shown) in the fabric processing device 10. This second opening can be used to allow fabric to be fed into the fabric processing drum from the outside, or to remove fabric from the fabric processing drum.

[0065] The fabric handling equipment may include, but is not limited to, washing machines, which may include, but are not limited to, washer-dryer combos, etc. For example, the washing machine may be a front-loading washing machine or a top-loading washing machine with drying or washing functions, and of course, it may also be other types of fully automatic washing machines. In this example and the examples below, the fabric handling equipment is described using a top-loading washing machine as an example.

[0066] The top cover structure 100 includes a top cover seat 110 and an integrated waterproof component 120.

[0067] The top cover 110 has a first wall surface 111 and a second wall surface 112 suitable for assembly with the fabric processing equipment 10. The first wall surface 111 is the top surface of the top cover 110, and a first opening 113 is formed on the first wall surface 111. The outer edge of the first opening 113 has an arc-shaped segment to allow fabric to enter the fabric processing bin through the first opening 113. The second wall surface 112 is the bottom surface of the top cover 110, that is, the wall surface opposite to the top surface. Multiple assembly positions adapted to different functional devices can be provided on the second wall surface 112. For example, structures such as electrical box assemblies in the fabric processing equipment 10 can be arranged on the second wall surface 112.

[0068] The integrated waterproof component 120 includes a waterproof membrane 121 and multiple functional devices. The waterproof membrane 121 is connected to the top cover 110. Specifically, the waterproof membrane 121 can be adapted to and connected to the second wall surface 112 of the top cover 110, for example, through a sealed connection. Based on this, a relatively enclosed space, i.e., a waterproof space, can be constructed between the waterproof membrane 121 and the second wall surface 112. The waterproof membrane 121 can be made of plastic or metal materials with good waterproof performance. Each surface of the waterproof membrane 121 can undergo special treatment to enhance its waterproof effect, such as adding a waterproof coating to each surface.

[0069] Multiple functional devices are arranged on the waterproof plate 121 and housed within the waterproof space. These functional devices may include, but are not limited to, the control circuit module, display module, or sensors of the fabric processing equipment 10, as well as microswitches, control levers, liquid level sensors, water inlet valves, and water inlet pipes.

[0070] By placing multiple functional components within a waterproof space, the waterproof plate 121 effectively protects them from moisture and splashes that may be generated during the operation of fabric processing equipment 10, such as a pulsator washing machine. This effectively extends the lifespan of each functional component and ensures its stable operation. For example, when one of the functional components is a control circuit module, the relatively dry environment within the waterproof space prevents short circuits and other malfunctions, thus ensuring the normal operation of the fabric processing equipment 10.

[0071] In this example, due to the design of the integrated waterproof component 120, especially the waterproof space formed between the waterproof plate 121 and the top cover seat 110, the entire top cover structure 100 has good waterproof capabilities. This is very important for the fabric processing equipment 10, because the fabric processing equipment 10 inevitably generates water vapor and water splashes during operation. If the waterproof plate 121 cannot effectively waterproof, water vapor may penetrate into the functional components arranged inside the waterproof space, causing damage or malfunction of the components.

[0072] On the other hand, by integrating multiple functional components within the waterproof space of the waterproof plate 121, functional integration is achieved. This helps optimize the internal structure of the top cover structure 100 of the fabric processing equipment 10, reducing space occupation, and also facilitating the production and assembly process of the fabric processing equipment 10. For example, on the production line, the top cover structure 100, which has already integrated multiple functional components, can be directly installed onto the fabric processing equipment 10, effectively ensuring and improving the assembly efficiency of the top cover structure 100, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0073] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, in some embodiments, the waterproof plate 121 is provided with adjacent first mounting positions (not shown) and second mounting positions (not shown). In terms of spatial layout, the adjacent first and second mounting positions can help reduce the length of the wiring connections between the functional devices mounted on the two mounting positions, and also facilitate a compact layout on the waterproof plate 121, saving space. For example, if it is necessary to connect the components on these two mounting positions or perform common maintenance operations later, the adjacent layout will make the operation more convenient.

[0074] The first and second mounting positions can provide specific mounting locations for different functional devices, making the layout of functional devices on the waterproof plate 121 more orderly. For example, multiple functional devices include a strike bar switch, which includes a micro switch 122 and a control lever 123 that work together. The micro switch 122 is located at the first mounting position, and the control lever 123 is located at the second mounting position.

[0075] The microswitch 122 is a switch with a very small travel, capable of changing the on / off state of its circuit under a small external force. The control lever 123 is a component that works in conjunction with the microswitch 122, potentially transmitting external force or triggering the microswitch. For example, when a component of the fabric processing equipment 10, such as the outer drum of a pulsator washing machine (e.g., the outer tub of the fabric processing drum), is spinning, and its excessive displacement causes it to touch the control lever 123, the control lever 123 transmits this external force to the microswitch 122, thereby changing the circuit state of the microswitch 122 and achieving functions such as pausing or stopping the fabric processing equipment.

[0076] It should be noted that the micro switch 122 and the control lever 123 work together to trigger a safety protection mechanism when excessive displacement of the outer cylinder of the fabric treatment tub is detected during dehydration. Specifically, when the outer cylinder of the fabric treatment tub displaces excessively during dehydration, the control lever 123 will strike the micro switch 122, causing the contacts of the micro switch 122 to open, thereby cutting off the power supply and stopping the dehydration process to prevent equipment damage or danger.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a connecting plate 124 is provided at the first mounting position, and a plurality of fasteners 125 in the form of a slider ejection are provided on the connecting plate 124, and fasteners 126 are provided on the fasteners 125.

[0078] The fastener 125 may include, but is not limited to, screw posts; the fastener 126 may include, but is not limited to, fastening screws.

[0079] It should be noted that sliding block demolding refers to a situation where the mold cannot be directly demolded from the top and bottom due to interference. A sliding block is needed to enter the interference area to achieve the demolding requirement.

[0080] like Figure 6 As shown, the normal ejection direction should be upward and downward as indicated by the first arrow A. However, due to the horizontal placement of multiple screw posts (e.g., two), the area where the screw posts connect with the waterproof plate 121 is an interference zone, which prevents normal upward and downward ejection. A slider needs to be made on the mold to allow normal ejection, as indicated by the second arrow B.

[0081] Fastener 126 penetrates the micro switch 122 along its thickness direction. This through-connection effectively secures the micro switch 122 to the fixing member 125. The through-connection along the thickness direction ensures that the micro switch 122 will not shift vertically, thus guaranteeing its accuracy during operation. For example, when the fabric processing equipment 10 vibrates (e.g., the fabric processing drum rotates), the micro switch 122 will not experience false triggering or poor contact due to vertical shaking. Furthermore, this design reduces the use of intermediate connectors or parts, lowering costs and mitigating potential safety hazards from excessive parts, effectively improving production efficiency.

[0082] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a third mounting position and a fourth mounting position are further provided on the waterproof membrane 121. The third mounting position is located on the side of the first mounting position away from the second mounting position, and the fourth mounting position is located on the side of the second mounting position away from the first mounting position. Based on this, this symmetrical layout helps to achieve a balanced functional distribution on the waterproof membrane 121, and allows each functional device to maintain a certain distance from each other to avoid mutual interference. At the same time, it can also effectively utilize the space on the waterproof membrane 121, making the overall layout more reasonable and compact.

[0083] Different mounting positions are used to install different types of functional components, making the functions of the waterproof membrane 121 more diverse and integrated. For example, by installing different functional components in different areas, it is convenient to perform individual maintenance and repair on each function of the fabric processing equipment 10, and it is also beneficial to optimize different functional components independently during the design and production process.

[0084] The functional components also include an inlet valve 127 and a level sensor 128.

[0085] The water inlet valve 127 is located in the third mounting position, and a water inlet pipe 129 is installed on the water inlet valve 127. The water inlet valve 127 is located on the side of the micro switch 122 away from the control lever 123, and the water inlet valve 127 can be fixedly connected to the waterproof plate 121 by screws. One end of the water inlet pipe 129 is connected to the water inlet valve 127, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 129 can be connected to the outer cylinder cover of the fabric treatment tub, so that water passing through the water inlet pipe 129 can enter the inner cylinder of the fabric treatment tub, thereby realizing the washing of the fabric.

[0086] The liquid level sensor 128 is fixed in the fourth mounting position. The liquid level sensor 128 can adopt a structure of snap-fit ​​and mounting groove, so that the liquid level sensor 128 can be fastened in the fourth mounting position.

[0087] In this example, the liquid level sensor 128 can detect the liquid level in the fabric processing tank by changing the air pressure. That is, the liquid level sensor 128 adopts a pneumatic liquid level sensor to effectively detect the water level in the fabric processing tank.

[0088] By mounting the level sensor 128 in the fourth mounting position, the level sensor 128 is kept away from components that may cause water flow interference, such as the inlet valve 127, thereby enabling more accurate water level detection. For example, during the water injection process of the fabric processing equipment 10, the level sensor 128, being away from the inlet, can avoid misjudgments caused by unstable air pressure due to the impact of the incoming water flow, ensuring that the fabric processing equipment 10 can accurately control the water level and prevent water overflow or insufficient water injection.

[0089] When the level sensor 128 detects that the water level has reached the set height, it sends a signal to the control system of the fabric processing equipment 10. The control system then controls the inlet valve 127 to close, stopping the water intake. The coordinated operation of the cover is achieved through the reasonable layout of various functional components on the waterproof plate 121 at different installation positions, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the fabric processing equipment 10.

[0090] In the above example, components such as the micro switch 122, control lever 123, liquid level sensor 128, and water inlet valve 127 are placed together on the waterproof plate 121, making the internal layout of the top cover structure 100 more reasonable, effectively saving space, which is conducive to designing a more compact fabric processing equipment 10 model, and also facilitates production assembly routing. That is, electrical components and structural components can be pre-installed on the waterproof plate 121, and after the wires are connected, the integrated waterproof component 120 is assembled on the top cover seat 110. This brings the waterproof plate 121 closer to the electrical components, better preventing water splashes into the waterproof space and contact with electrical components during washing or rain, thus preventing safety accidents. At the same time, there is no need to make assembly structures for various electrical components (such as functional components) on the top cover seat 110, reducing injection molding problems such as appearance shrinkage, and also effectively simplifying production assembly and improving cable management efficiency.

[0091] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the top cover structure 100 further includes a door cover assembly 130. A first opening 113 is provided in the central region of the top cover seat 110, penetrating the top cover seat 110, and the door cover assembly 130 is hinged to one side of the top cover seat 110 for closing or opening the first opening 113.

[0092] In other words, for the fabric processing equipment 10, the door cover assembly 130 serves to seal the internal space of the fabric processing equipment 10. It can prevent fabrics, washing water, etc. from splashing out of the fabric processing equipment 10 during operation, and at the same time prevent external dust, debris, etc. from entering the fabric processing equipment 10, ensuring the relative cleanliness of the internal environment of the fabric processing equipment 10, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the fabric processing equipment 10 and the washing effect on the fabrics.

[0093] The door cover assembly 130 and the integrated waterproof assembly 120 are located on both sides of the top cover base 110 along its thickness direction. That is, the door cover assembly 130 is hinged to the first wall surface 111 of the top cover base 110, and the integrated waterproof assembly 120 is disposed on the second wall surface 112 of the top cover base 110. The integrated waterproof assembly 120, located on the second wall surface 112, can protect multiple functional devices below the top cover base 110 from water damage, and also protects circuits and other devices installed inside the waterproof space from moisture. The door cover assembly 130, located on the first wall surface 111, mainly seals the internal space of the washing machine, ensuring that the fabrics inside the fabric processing equipment 10 will not be ejected from the outside of the fabric processing equipment 10 due to the movement of the fabric processing equipment 10.

[0094] In this example, the door cover assembly 130, the top cover seat 110, and the integrated waterproof assembly 120 cooperate with each other to form a complete top cover structure of the fabric processing equipment 10, so as to meet various needs of the fabric processing equipment 10 during use, such as waterproofing, sealing, and convenient operation, thereby improving the overall performance and user experience of the fabric processing equipment 10.

[0095] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, one side of the door cover assembly 130 is hinged to the top cover seat 110 via a hinge 131. One end of the hinge 131 is connected to the top cover seat 110, and the other end is connected to the door cover assembly 130. This ensures that the door cover assembly 130 can rotate around a fixed point during opening and closing, making the movement trajectory of the door cover assembly 130 predictable and stable. For example, in daily use, each time the user opens or closes the door cover assembly 130, the door cover assembly 130 will move along the trajectory determined by the hinge 131, without deviation or excessive wobbling.

[0096] In a specific example, the hinge 131 can be a pin structure to achieve the hinge between the door cover assembly 130 and the top cover seat 110, so that the door cover assembly 130 can rotate about the top cover seat 110.

[0097] A damper 132 is provided on one side of the hinge, with its two ends connected to the door cover assembly 130 and the top cover seat 110, respectively. The damper 132 can adjust the movement speed and force of the door cover assembly 130. For example, when a user opens the door cover assembly 130, the damper will generate a certain resistance to the movement of the door cover assembly 130, preventing the door cover assembly 130 from suddenly opening too large an angle due to inertia, thus avoiding injury to the surrounding environment or the user. In addition, the damper 132 can also make the door cover assembly 130 close slowly and gently, avoiding the large impact force generated by the rapid closing of the door cover assembly 130. This not only reduces wear between the door cover assembly 130 and the top cover seat 110, but also reduces the noise generated when closing. Furthermore, during the operation of the fabric processing equipment 10, if there is some internal vibration or shaking that causes a slight displacement tendency of the door cover assembly 130, the damper 132 can also play a certain stabilizing role, preventing the door cover assembly 130 from opening accidentally.

[0098] In this example, the door cover assembly 130 is connected to the top cover seat 110 by the hinge 131, and a damper 132 is provided on one side of the hinge 131, which makes the operation of the door cover assembly 130 on the fabric processing equipment 10 safer, more stable and more comfortable, and also improves the durability and reliability of the top cover structure 100 of the entire fabric processing equipment 10.

[0099] In one example, the door cover assembly 130 includes a glass operation panel 133, a door cover 134, and a lower cover 135, which are sequentially attached vertically. The glass operation panel 133 is equipped with multiple function touch buttons, meaning that when a user uses the fabric processing equipment 10 to process fabrics (such as washing, dehydrating, etc.), they can control the corresponding processing functions using the function touch buttons.

[0100] The functional touch buttons may include the following operation buttons: start / stop, long press to turn on, water level (long press for three seconds to lock child lock), program (long press for three seconds to schedule), standard, quick wash, boil wash, baby wash, mite removal, underwear wash, single spin wash, tub cleaning, etc.

[0101] When the door cover assembly 130 closes the first opening 113, the lower cover 135 is positioned opposite to the first opening 113.

[0102] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the top cover structure 100 further includes a display box assembly 140 disposed on the glass operation panel 133 and located between the glass operation panel 133 and the lower cover 135.

[0103] The display box assembly 140 is wired to multiple function touch buttons, allowing control of the corresponding functions of the display box assembly 140 via these buttons. It should be noted that the display box assembly 140 can utilize corresponding functional components from existing fabric processing equipment 10 (i.e., a pulsator washing machine), and the specific configuration and processing functions of the display box assembly 140 are not specifically limited here.

[0104] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the top cover structure 100 further includes an electrical box assembly 150, which is disposed on the top cover base 110 and located beside the waterproof plate 121. Specifically, the electrical box assembly 150 is disposed on the second wall surface 112 of the top cover base 110 and is disposed opposite to the waterproof plate 121.

[0105] The electrical box assembly 150 and the display box assembly 140 are connected by wires. See details. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the electrical box assembly 150 is mounted on the front end of the top cover 110, and correspondingly, the integrated waterproof assembly 120 is mounted on the rear end of the top cover 110. It should be noted that the front and rear ends of the top cover 110 refer to the end facing the user when operating the fabric handling equipment 10, and the end furthest from the user, which is the rear end. The display box assembly 140 is installed inside the door cover assembly 130. The data cable 160 connecting the electrical box assembly 150 and the display box assembly 140 exits through a hole in the display box assembly 140, follows a latch inside the door cover 134, then exits through a hole at the hinge of the door cover 134 and the top cover 110, and follows a wire-hanging latch inside the top cover 110 to the front end to connect with the plug-in terminal of the electrical box assembly 150.

[0106] like Figures 10 to 11 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of this application provides a fabric processing device 10, which includes a housing 11 and a top cover structure 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The fabric processing device 10 may be a pulsator washing machine.

[0107] The housing 11 is equipped with a fabric processing drum (not shown in the figure), and a second opening (not shown in the figure) is formed on the top of the fabric processing drum for the fabric to enter and exit.

[0108] The top cover structure 100 is rotatably embedded inside the housing 11 so that the top cover structure 100 can open or close the second opening.

[0109] In this case, the top surface of the top cover seat 110 in the top cover structure 100 is flush with the top surface of the box body 11. Alternatively, the top surface of the top cover seat 110 in the top cover structure 100 is lower than the top surface of the box body 11, that is, the bottom surface of the glass operating panel 133 in the top cover structure 100 can be flush with the top surface of the box body 11.

[0110] In this example, the waterproof plate 121 and the electrical box assembly 150 can be fixed to the top cover seat 110 by screws. The top cover structure 100 and the box body 11 can be assembled by a combination of buckles and screws. After assembly, the top cover structure 100 is embedded in the inside of the box body 11. That is to say, the step structure formed when the top cover structure 100 and the box body 11 are assembled is not visible from the outside of the fabric processing equipment 10, thereby effectively improving the overall aesthetics of the fabric processing equipment 10.
