[0022] 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.
[0023] Example:
[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This embodiment of an acrylic vacuum forming panel for the exterior decoration of a home appliance includes a fixed panel 1 and a movable panel 2. At least two guide positioning posts 6 are fixedly provided on the outer side of the fixed panel 1, and the guide positioning posts 6 are located at the edge of one side of the fixed panel 1. A guide groove 7 is provided through the inside of the guide positioning post 6. At least two fixing holes 8 are provided through the outer side of the fixed panel 1, and the fixing holes 8 are located between the two guide positioning posts 6. A post insertion cavity 9 is provided through one side of the movable panel 2, and at least two fixing posts 10 are fixedly provided in the post insertion cavity 9.
[0025] When preparing to assemble the panel, the fixed panel 1 is fixed to the appliance casing using glue. The fixed panel 1 does not need to be disassembled during maintenance. Then, the movable panel 2 is inserted into the guide groove 7. At this time, the fixing pin 10 of the movable panel 2 is aligned with the fixing hole 8 of the fixed panel 1. The fixing pin 10 is slowly inserted into the fixing hole 8 until there is no gap between the two guide positioning pins 6. This structure can realize the rapid positioning and connection of the panel. The vacuum forming process of the fixed panel 1 and the movable panel 2 is a common existing industrial technology, so its specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0026] The guide positioning post 6 is set as a semi-circular cylindrical structure, and the end of the guide positioning post 6 away from the fixed panel 1 is provided with an external thread;
[0027] The semi-partial structure allows the guide positioning post 6 to fit more tightly with the movable panel 2, and the external thread design can further strengthen the connection between the movable panel 2 and the fixed panel 1 by engaging the nut with the external thread after the two are assembled.
[0028] The upper part of the active panel 2 is fixedly provided with a light-transmitting area 3 and buttons 5. There are several buttons 5, and the buttons 5 are arranged in an array.
[0029] The light-transmitting area 3 can clearly transmit the light of the LED indicator lights of the home appliances, making it convenient for users to observe the working status of the home appliances. The array of buttons 5 is easy for users to operate, and the elasticity of the acrylic material can realize the feedback of pressing.
[0030] The fixing hole 8 is configured as a multi-segment hole structure. The outermost part of the fixing hole 8 is configured as a conical structure, the innermost part of the fixing hole 8 is configured as a thinner cylindrical structure, and the middle part of the fixing hole 8 is configured as a wider cylindrical structure. A limit post 14 is slidably provided inside the fixing panel 1, and the limit post 14 extends to the middle part of the fixing hole 8.
[0031] The outermost conical structure guides the insertion of the fixing post 10, the middle part provides space for the limiting post 14, and the innermost part provides a receiving space for the fixing post 10, and uses the elasticity of the acrylic material for limiting.
[0032] A limiting block 15 is fixedly installed at the extended end of the limiting post 14. The limiting block 15 is configured as a ladder structure. A spring 16 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting post 14. One end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the fixed panel 1, and the other end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 15. A fixing cap 11 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixed insert post 10 away from the movable panel 2. An unlocking block 12 is slidably installed on the outside of the fixed insert post 10. An unlocking block placement cavity 13 is opened through the side of the fixing cap 11 near the unlocking block 12.
[0033] When the fixing post 10 begins to be inserted into the fixing hole 8, the fixing cap 11 presses against the stepped slope of the limiting block 15, causing the limiting block 15 to retract the compression spring 16. When the fixing cap 11 is inserted into the inner area of the fixing hole 8, the limiting block 15 is located between the fixing cap 11 and the unlocking block 12. At this point, the connection of the movable panel 2 is complete, and when the movable panel 2 is pulled outward, the limiting block 15 locks the fixing cap 11, preventing the movable panel 2 from being pulled out. If you want to disassemble it, continue to push the movable panel 2 so that it is close to the fixing cap 11. As the movable panel 2 approaches panel 1, the unlocking block 12 presses against the limiting block 15, causing the limiting block 15 to compress the spring 16. The limiting block 15 moves from the side of the unlocking block 12 closest to the fixing cap 11 to the other side. At this time, the movable panel 2 is pulled back, and the straight surface of the limiting block 15 drives the unlocking block 12 to move, causing part of the unlocking block 12 to move into the unlocking block placement cavity 13. At this time, the unlocking block 12 and the fixing cap 11 form an arc surface. As the panel continues to be pulled back, the limiting block 15 is squeezed by the unlocking block 12 and the fixing cap 11, and the fixing pin 10 can be easily pulled out.
[0034] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: During assembly, the fixed panel 1 is first fixed to the appliance casing, and then the movable panel 2 is inserted into the guide groove 7 of the guide positioning post 6. At this time, the fixed post 10 in the post cavity 9 of the movable panel 2 is aligned with the fixing hole 8 of the fixed panel 1. The fixed post 10 is slowly inserted. During the insertion process, the fixing cap 11 at the end of the fixed post 10 presses the trapezoidal structure limiting block 15 at the extension end of the limiting post 14, causing the limiting block 15 to compress the outer spring 16 and retract. When the fixing cap 11 enters the innermost thinner cylindrical structure area of the fixing hole 8, the limiting block 15 is locked between the fixing cap 11 and the unlocking block 12 on the outside of the fixed post 10 under the reset action of the spring 16, thus locking the movable panel 2. At this time, the movable panel 2 is pulled outward, and the limiting block 15... 5 will block the movement of the fixing cap 11 to prevent the movable panel 2 from falling off. During disassembly, continue to push the movable panel 2 closer to the fixing panel 1. The unlocking block 12 squeezes the limiting block 15 and causes it to compress the spring 16 again. The limiting block 15 moves from the side of the unlocking block 12 close to the fixing cap 11 to the other side. Then pull the movable panel 2 back. The straight surface of the limiting block 15 drives the unlocking block 12 to move, so that part of the unlocking block 12 moves into the unlocking block placement cavity 13 of the fixing cap 11. The unlocking block 12 and the fixing cap 11 form an arc surface. When pulling back, the limiting block 15 is squeezed back by the arc surface, and the fixing pin 10 can be pulled out to complete the disassembly. At the same time, the light-transmitting area 3 at the top of the movable panel 2 can transmit the light of the home appliance LED indicator. The array of buttons 5 realizes the pressing feedback with the help of acrylic elasticity.
[0035] The fixing of the fixed panel 1 is an existing technology. The installation method, connection method or setting method disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented. They are common knowledge in the field. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on their specific structural composition and working principle.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
