[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This utility model relates to an emergency unlocking device for a drum washing machine. The drum washing machine includes a washing machine body 1, and a self-operated decorative component 2 is installed at the front center of the washing machine body 1. The self-operated decorative component 2 includes a self-operated decorative base 20, a self-operated decorative flip cover 21 pivotally mounted to the bottom of the self-operated decorative base 20, and a decorative small cover 22 installed on the self-operated decorative base 20.

[0023] A door lock assembly 3, including a micro switch 6, is installed on the inner side of the washing machine casing 1 above the self-operated decorative piece 2. A groove 200 is formed on the self-operated decorative base 20, and a through hole (not shown) is provided on the self-operated decorative base 20 above the groove 200. A door lock pull ring 4 is installed in the groove 200. One end of the door lock pull ring 4 is fixed in the groove 200 by a screw, and the other end is wrapped with a thin rope 5. The other end of the thin rope 5 passes through the through hole and is connected to the micro switch 6.

[0024] The decorative cover 22 has a protruding latch (not shown) on its surface facing the automatic tilt-and-turn decorative base 20. A slot 201 is formed on the automatic tilt-and-turn decorative base 20 opposite the latch. The decorative cover 22 is installed onto the automatic tilt-and-turn decorative base 20 by inserting the latch into the slot 201. When the decorative cover 22 is installed onto the automatic tilt-and-turn decorative base 20, the door lock ring 4 is conveniently hidden behind the decorative cover 22.

[0025] The top of the self-sinking decorative base 20 is connected to the self-sinking decorative flip cover 21 via an elephant trunk lock 5.

[0026] When the user needs to unlock the door, they open the self-locking decorative flip cover 21 by pressing the part of the flip cover connected to the elephant trunk lock. Then, they remove the decorative cover 22, and then remove the screw on the door lock pull ring 4 from which the end of the thin rope 5 is not installed. By pulling the door lock pull ring 4, the thin rope 5 is pulled down, thereby unlocking the door. How the micro switch unlocks the door is common knowledge in the field and will not be described in detail in this patent application.

[0027] When the washing machine is a single-drum washing machine, a door lock pull ring as described above can be installed to unlock it. When the washing machine is a multi-drum washing machine, multiple door lock pull rings as described above can be installed according to the number of drums to unlock them individually.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
