Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and more specifically, to a mini washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life and increasingly compact living spaces, miniaturized and convenient home appliances are becoming more and more popular among consumers. Among them, mini washing machines, with their small size and easy operation, have become an ideal choice for single people, small families, and travel accommodations.

[0003] In traditional mini washing machines, the lid is usually connected to the body via a hinge structure. The hinge structure typically includes a mounting base, wiring components, and damping components. The mounting base is installed on the body with screws. To accommodate the opening and closing of the lid, it is often designed as a two-part structure containing a first mounting base and a second mounting base, with a certain gap between them. Correspondingly, the lid is also equipped with matching first and second ribs to achieve a stable connection and support.

[0004] In terms of specific connection methods, the first rib plate and the first fixed seat are movably connected by a wiring component. This design is usually intended to facilitate the arrangement and management of wires or other connecting lines. The second rib plate and the second fixed seat are movably connected by a damping component to provide the necessary buffering and damping effect, ensuring that the cover plate can smoothly fit the body when closed.

[0005] While this hinged structure meets the functional requirements of a mini washing machine to some extent, its overall structure is complex and has a large number of parts. This not only increases production costs but also makes the production and installation process complicated and cumbersome, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency. Secondly, the combination of multiple independent components occupies more space, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of the mini washing machine. In addition, the complex structure also increases the difficulty of later maintenance, which is not conducive to improving the user experience.

[0006] Patent CN107723998A discloses a wiring pin structure and a washing machine, which suffers from the aforementioned technical problems. Therefore, how to simplify the hinge structure through technological innovation while maintaining the original functions of the mini washing machine has become an urgent problem to be solved in the current design and manufacturing field of mini washing machines.

[0047] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] like Figure 1-12 As shown, a mini washing machine includes a bushing 1 and a cover plate 2. The bushing 1 and the cover plate 2 are rotatably connected by a door hinge 3. The door hinge 3 includes a hinge base 4, a wiring component 5, and a damping component 6. The wiring component 5 and the damping component 6 are fixed together. The hinge base 4 is fixed to the bushing 1 by a first connecting component. A first ear plate 41 is provided at the left end of the hinge base 4, and a second ear plate 42 is provided at the right end. The cover plate 2 is provided with a first fixing part 21 and a second fixing part 22. The first fixing part 21 and the first ear plate 41 are rotatably connected by the wiring component 5, and the second fixing part 22 and the second ear plate 42 are rotatably connected by the damping component 6.

[0050] Specifically, by fixing the wiring component 5 together with the damping component 6 and cooperating with the hinge seat 4, the hinge structure between the traditional mini washing machine cover 2 and bushing 1 is simplified, the number of parts is reduced, the space occupied by the hinge structure is reduced, and the overall structure is more compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the mini washing machine.

[0051] Preferably, the hinge seat 4 includes a hinge seat 4 and a fixing plate connected together. The fixing plate is arranged around the hinge seat 4. The fixing plate is fixed to the upper end of the bushing 1 by a first connector, which is a screw.

[0052] Preferably, the first connector is a screw.

[0053] As a preferred example of this application, the wiring component 5 includes a wiring component body 50. The left end of the wiring component body 50 is provided with a first insertion post 51, which is inserted into the first ear plate 41. The right end of the wiring component body 50 is provided with an adjacent first limiting groove 52 and a second limiting groove 53, with the first limiting groove 52 located to the left of the second limiting groove 53.

[0054] The damping component 6 includes a damping component body 61. A second insertion post 62 is provided at the right end of the damping component body 61. The second insertion post 62 is inserted into the second ear plate 42. A locking block 63 is provided at the left end of the damping component body 61. The locking block 63 engages with the first limiting groove 52, and the damping component body 61 engages with the second limiting groove 53.

[0060] The first rib plate 211 is provided with a first insertion hole 2111, and the first insertion post 51 is inserted into the first ear plate 41 through the first insertion hole 2111.

[0061] Specifically, the first rib 211 and the second rib 212 are arranged perpendicularly, forming a stable support structure and enhancing the overall strength of the first fixing part 21, enabling it to withstand greater external forces. The matching design of the limiting rib and the second rib 212 provides additional limiting and support for the wiring component 5, ensuring its stability and firmness after installation. The first insertion hole 2111 on the first rib 211 matches the first insertion post 51 of the wiring component 5, allowing the wiring component 5 to be easily and accurately inserted into the first ear plate 41, simplifying the installation process. Through reasonable rib layout and design, the space of the first fixing part 21 is fully utilized, allowing the wiring component 5 to be installed compactly within it, reducing space waste.

At the same time, it makes the installation and disassembly of the damping component body 61 simpler and more convenient, reducing installation costs and time.

[0070] As a preferred example of this application, the left end of the connecting block 220 is provided with a fifth rib plate 215, which abuts against the wiring component body 50 and is used to limit the wiring component 5.
