[0014] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0015] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0016] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a display panel mounting structure for a washing machine, including a washing machine body 1, a top plate 2 mounted on the top surface of the washing machine body 1, a mounting groove 3 on the front of the top plate 2, a display panel assembly 4 mounted on the inner wall of the mounting groove 3, a connecting block 5 fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the mounting groove 3, a groove 51 on the surface of the connecting block 5 that engages with a protrusion corresponding to one end of the inner wall of the display panel assembly 4, an elastic pressure plate 44 embedded in the outer wall of the other end of the display panel assembly 4, one end of the elastic pressure plate 44 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the display panel assembly 4, and a clamping plate 45 fixedly connected to the other end of the elastic pressure plate 44, a clamping groove 23 on the inner wall of the top plate 2, and the end of the clamping plate 45 engaging with the inner wall of the clamping groove 23.

[0017] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described in detail below. The initial positioning of the display panel assembly 4 is achieved through the connecting block 5 and the groove 51. During installation, the protrusion is simply aligned with the groove 51 and inserted to quickly determine the horizontal installation reference of the assembly, reducing the position adjustment time during assembly. One end of the elastic pressure plate 44 is fixed to the outer wall of the display panel assembly 4, and the locking plate 45 at the other end can be inserted into / out of the slot 23 on the inner wall of the top plate 2 with the elastic deformation of the pressure plate. During installation, pressing the elastic pressure plate 44 causes the locking plate 45 to retract and align with the slot 23. After releasing, the pressure plate resets and drives the locking plate 45 to lock the slot 23, completing the secondary fixing of the display panel assembly 4. This structure does not require bolts or other tools, and the deformation characteristics of the elastic pressure plate 44 can absorb the vibration of the washing machine during operation, preventing the locking plate 45 from loosening due to rigid collision with the slot 23, reducing the impact of vibration on the display panel assembly 4, and preventing poor contact of the internal circuit of the assembly due to long-term vibration. The tool-free disassembly and assembly design facilitates the replacement of the display panel assembly 4 later, reducing maintenance costs.

[0018] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, a positioning pin 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top plate 2, and a positioning tube 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the display panel assembly 4. The display panel assembly 4 is positioned by inserting the positioning tube 43 into the positioning pin 6. A signal port 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the display panel assembly 4. A ribbon cable 22 is inserted into the inner wall of the signal port 42. The other end of the ribbon cable 22 is inserted into the inner wall of the mounting groove 3. A controller 21 is embedded inside the top plate 2. The controller 21 is electrically connected to the display panel assembly 4 through the ribbon cable 22. A slot 41 is opened on the top surface of the display panel assembly 4. A display screen and control buttons are embedded on the front of the display panel assembly 4.

[0019] The overall effect of this embodiment is that the positioning tube 43 on the inner wall of the display panel assembly 4 and the positioning pin 6 form a pin-tube insertion structure. During installation, the positioning tube 43 is fitted into the positioning pin 6, which can accurately limit the longitudinal height and front-back position of the display panel assembly 4, avoiding unevenness between the display panel and the top plate 2 due to assembly deviation. The signal port 42 on the inner wall of the display panel assembly 4 is electrically connected to the controller 21 inside the top plate 2 through the ribbon cable 22 to realize signal transmission between the two: the controller 21 can transmit the operating parameters of the washing machine to the display panel assembly 4 through the ribbon cable 22, and at the same time receive the instructions of the control buttons on the display panel assembly 4. Compared with the soldering type, the plug-in design of the ribbon cable 22 can avoid the circuit from oxidation and breakage due to long-term moisture, and facilitates quick plugging and unplugging and replacement during maintenance. The slot 41 on the top surface of the display panel assembly 4 provides a force point for disassembly. When it is necessary to remove the assembly, use a tool or finger to insert into the slot 41 and pry upward, which can cooperate with the deformation of the elastic pressure plate 44 to remove the assembly.

[0020] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: During installation, align the positioning tube 43 of the display panel assembly 4 with the positioning pin 6 on the inner wall of the top plate 2, and slowly insert it so that the protrusion at one end of the assembly is initially embedded in the groove 51 of the connecting block 5; press the elastic pressure plate 44 on the outer wall of the other end of the display panel assembly 4 to retract the locking plate 45, push the assembly until the locking plate 45 is aligned with the slot 23 of the top plate 2, release the elastic pressure plate 44, and the locking plate 45 resets and locks the slot 23; insert one end of the ribbon cable 22 into the signal socket 42 of the display panel assembly 4, and insert the other end into the corresponding interface on the inner wall of the mounting slot 3, ensuring that the ribbon cable 22 is not bent, and complete the connection with the control... Electrical connection of controller 21; observe whether the surface of display panel assembly 4 is flush with the surface of top plate 2, press the control button to test whether it responds, start the washing machine to verify whether the display screen displays the operating parameters normally. When disassembling, first disconnect the interfaces at both ends of the ribbon cable 22 to avoid pulling and damaging the ribbon cable during disassembly; insert your finger or flat tool into the slot 41 on the top surface of display panel assembly 4, gently pry it upwards, and at the same time press the elastic pressure plate 44 to make the clamping plate 45 disengage from the slot 23; pull the display panel assembly 4 outwards to make the protrusion at one end disengage from the groove 51 of the connecting block 5, and then pull the positioning tube 43 upwards to disengage from the positioning pin 6, thus completing the assembly disassembly.
