Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household electrical appliances, and in particular to a control panel base structure and a washing machine. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, the detergent case of a fully automatic washing machine is located inside the control panel base or on the back of the control panel base, but such a conventional design brings about many defects and inconveniences. When the detergent case is located inside the control panel base, i.e., when it is retractably located in the control panel base behind the clothes inlet, an opening is provided on the side of the control panel base corresponding to the clothes inlet, and the detergent case is provided in the opening. This affects the appearance and also affects the support strength of the control panel base. In addition, it is necessary to pull out the detergent case and add detergent every time washing, which is very troublesome for the user. In addition, it is even more inconvenient to add laundry agents such as fabric softener after the washing machine starts operating. On the other hand, when the detergent case is located on the back of the control panel base, it is far from the user, so the user must stretch his / her arm when adding detergent, which is inconvenient for use. In addition, it also affects the appearance of the exterior.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, washing machines with a supply chamber provided in a control panel base have appeared on the market. The supply chamber is located on the outer periphery of the clothes inlet in the control panel base, and a supply port is provided at the bottom of the supply chamber. The detergent enters the supply chamber through the supply port and is supplied into the outer tub having a water storage function via the outer tub lid. In this case, the user is prevented from pulling out the detergent and from stretching his / her arm. However, the supply chamber of the conventional control panel base is provided with a water supply port, and water enters the supply chamber from the water supply port to clean the supply chamber, and finally, the cleaning water flows out of the supply chamber through the supply port. Therefore, if the water pressure is too high, the cleaning water collides with the supply port and splashes.

[0004] In view of the above, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The technical problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a control panel base structure and a washing machine which achieve the objective of preventing water splashing due to washing water colliding with the supply inlet by providing a water-proof member in the supply chamber, in order to eliminate the defects of the prior art, and by making it possible to block water entering from the water supply inlet by the water-guiding member when the water pressure is too high.

[0027] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the present invention provides a control panel base structure including a control panel base 1. A clothing input opening 11 is provided in the center of the control panel base 1, and a supply chamber 12 is provided around the outer periphery of the clothing input opening 11. A water supply opening 126 is provided at a corner of the supply chamber 12. Furthermore, a water-blocking member that blocks water entering through the water supply opening 126 is provided at a position opposite the water supply opening 126 in the supply chamber 11. The water-blocking member is provided so as to be higher than the water supply opening 126.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present invention, a water-blocking member is provided in supply chamber 12. The water-blocking member is provided at a position facing water supply port 126 in supply chamber 12. When the water pressure is too high, the water entering from the water supply port can be blocked by the water-guiding member, thereby preventing splashing of water caused by the wash water colliding with supply port 125.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, the present invention provides a control panel base structure including a control panel base 1. A clothing input opening 11 is provided in the center of the control panel base 1, and a supply chamber 12 is provided around the outer periphery of the clothing input opening 11. The supply chamber 12 has an input opening 121 provided on the upper end surface of the control panel base 1. The input opening 121 is provided with an annular flow guide member 2 that introduces detergent into the supply chamber 12.

[0030] Supply chamber 12 has a triangular shape. The water-blocking member is a strip-shaped water-blocking plate 4. Strip-shaped water-blocking plate 4 extends along the side wall of supply chamber 12 facing water supply port 126.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present invention, an annular flow guide member 2 is provided at inlet 121, so that detergent can be introduced into supply chamber 12 by the annular flow guide member 2. This improves the efficiency of detergent supply and reduces detergent waste.

[0032] The control panel base 1 has a hinged structure. The control panel base 1 includes an outer peripheral wall, an inner peripheral wall that constitutes a clothing insertion opening 11, and a panel base connecting wall that connects the outer peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall. The outer peripheral wall, the inner peripheral wall and the panel base connecting wall surround a storage space, and a supply chamber 12 is provided in the storage space. The control panel base 1 is provided with two supply chambers 12 on both the left and right sides of the rear end of the clothing insertion opening 11. The two supply chambers 12 are located on opposite sides of the clothing insertion opening 11.

[0033] The structure of the control panel base 1 is used in a washing machine. The washing machine may be a pulsator washing machine. Specifically, the washing machine includes a housing and an outer tub provided in the housing. The outer tub is a water tank, and an outer tub lid is provided on the outer tub. The control panel base 1 is provided on the ceiling of the housing. Also, the supply chamber 12 communicates with the inside of the outer tub lid. The outer tub lid is provided with a hole communicating with the outer tub. An inner tub is provided inside the outer tub. A tub gap is formed between the inner tub and the outer tub, and the hole communicates with the tub gap. A buffer case is provided between the supply chamber 12 and the outer tub lid. The buffer case is respectively connected to the supply chamber 12 and the outer tub lid. A buffer protrusion protruding toward the inside of the buffer case is provided on the side wall of the buffer case. The buffer protrusion forms a basin shape by inclining from the ceiling of the buffer case toward the water passage hole at the bottom of the buffer case. The buffer protrusion is used to slow down the flow rate of the liquid to release pressure. The liquid flows evenly into the tank gap through the water vent holes at the bottom of the buffer case, preventing water from splashing.

[0034] 1, 3 and 5, in this embodiment of the present invention, the outer periphery of annular flow guide member 2 is connected to the inner periphery of input port 121. In addition, the inner periphery of annular flow guide member 2 forms flow guide port 21. Flow guide port 21 is a tapered port that gradually narrows toward the inside of supply chamber 12.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer periphery of annular flow guide member 2 is connected to the inner periphery of inlet 121, and the inner periphery of annular flow guide member 2 forms flow guide port 21 that guides the detergent into supply chamber 12. Flow guide port 21 is a tapered port that gradually contracts into supply chamber 12. Because flow guide port 21 gradually contracts, the flow of the detergent into supply chamber 12 can be accelerated.

[0036] Specifically, the annular sidewall of supply chamber 12 includes an upper annular sidewall 123 that extends vertically and a lower annular sidewall 124 that gradually tapers downward. The inner periphery of the ceiling of upper annular sidewall 123 surrounds input port 121, and the inner periphery of the bottom of lower annular sidewall 124 surrounds supply port 125. A water supply port 126 is provided in the ceiling of lower annular sidewall 124. Lower annular sidewall 124 has a smoothly curved surface that gradually curves into supply chamber 12 from top to bottom.

[0037] Furthermore, the supply chamber 12 is shaped like a right-angled triangle. The upper annular side wall 123 and the lower annular side wall 124 of the supply chamber 12 each have a first right-angled side wall 1232, a second right-angled side wall 1233, and an inclined side wall 1234. Furthermore, the control panel base 1 is shaped like a rectangle. The two first right-angled side walls 1232 extend along the corners of the control panel base 1, and the inclined side wall 1234 extends along the outer periphery of the clothing insertion opening 11. These three are connected in the circumferential direction to form the upper annular side wall 123 or the lower annular side wall 124.

[0038] Specifically, the axial cross section of the annular flow guide member 2 is in the shape of a right-angled triangle. The flow guide port 21 has a flow guide inlet 211 and a flow guide outlet 121 provided on the upper end face and the lower end face of the annular flow guide member 2, respectively. The flow guide inlet 211 and the flow guide outlet 121 are connected to each other in the circumferential direction by three continuous connection walls 213. Two adjacent connection walls 213 are connected to each other via an arc-shaped transition wall 214. The arc-shaped transition wall 214 is recessed toward the inside of the supply chamber 12. Because the arc-shaped transition portion is recessed toward the inside of the supply chamber 12, detergent is prevented from remaining at the arc-shaped transition point, and the entry of detergent into the supply chamber 12 is accelerated.

[0039] The detergent supply process is as follows: The detergent flows through the inlet 211 and along the connecting wall 213 toward the outlet 121. After entering the supply chamber 12 from the outlet 121, the detergent flows along the lower annular wall to the supply port 125 and enters the inside of the outer tub lid. Then, water enters the supply chamber 12 from the water supply port 126, and the detergent remaining in the supply chamber 12 is washed away into the outer tub lid.

[0040] Furthermore, the outflow outlet 121 has a portion that overlaps with the lower annular side wall 124 and the supply port 125. The size of the outflow outlet 121 should be set to be large enough to cover a portion of the supply port 125 and the lower annular side wall 124. This allows the detergent to flow into the supply chamber 12 and then enter the supply port 125 along the lower annular side wall 124, and the lower annular side wall 124 acts as a buffer against the detergent, preventing the detergent from scattering.

[0041] 3, in this embodiment of the present invention, the upper end surface of annular flow guide member 2 is bent downward to form fold 23. In addition, support protrusion 122 is provided on the inner periphery of supply chamber 12. When annular flow guide member 2 is fitted into supply chamber 12 from input port 121, the lower end surface of fold 23 abuts against the upper end surface of support protrusion 122, so that the upper end surface of annular flow guide member 2 and the upper end surface of control panel base 1 become flush with each other.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, the annular flow guide member 2 and the supply chamber 12 are connected as follows: a fold 23 is provided on the upper end surface of the annular flow guide member 2, a support protrusion 122 is provided on the inner periphery of the upper annular side wall 123 of the supply chamber 12, and the lower end surface of the fold 23 abuts against the upper end surface of the support protrusion 122.

[0043] As shown in Figures 3, 4 and 6, the annular flow guide member 2 is inserted and connected to the inner periphery of the upper annular side wall 123 by the insertion structure 3. Specifically, the insertion structure 3 includes an insertion portion 31 and an insertion groove 32. The insertion groove 32 is provided on the inner periphery of the upper annular side wall 123. The groove opening of the insertion groove 32 faces the inside of the supply chamber 12. The outer periphery of the annular flow guide member 2 is provided with the insertion portion 31 that protrudes outward. The fold 23 provides an escape space for the insertion portion 31. At least a portion of the insertion portion 31 penetrates the fold 23, and the insertion portion 31 that penetrates the fold 23 is inserted and connected to the insertion groove 32. The insertion groove 32 is provided on the upper annular side wall 123 above the support protrusion 122.

[0044] By fitting annular flow guide member 2 into supply chamber 12 from inlet 121, annular flow guide member 2 is hidden within supply chamber 12 and the height difference between flow guide outlet 121 and supply chamber 12 is reduced, reducing splashing of detergent when detergent is added. Furthermore, annular flow guide member 2 may be a sheet metal member. The upper end face of annular flow guide member 2 is flush with the upper end face of control panel base 1, providing decoration and protection to inlet 121.

[0045] 4 and 6, in an embodiment of the present invention, an annular flow guide plate 22 is provided on the outer periphery of the outlet end of flow guide port 21, extending vertically toward the inside of dispensing chamber 12. The annular flow guide plate 22 is provided coaxially with flow guide port 21.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, since the guide port 21 is a tapered port that gradually contracts toward the inside of the supply chamber 12, the detergent has a high speed when it reaches the guide outlet 121. Therefore, in order to prevent the detergent from scattering to the outer periphery of the guide outlet 121, an annular guide plate 22 is provided on the outer periphery of the guide outlet 121. The annular guide plate 22 extends vertically toward the inside of the supply chamber 12. The annular guide plate 22 has a blocking and guiding function for the detergent.

[0047] 2, 3 and 7, in an embodiment of the present invention, a strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 is provided on the upper annular side wall 123, protruding beyond the lower annular side wall 124. The strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 is provided opposite the water supply port 126. The strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 is provided below the annular flow guide plate 22, and has a portion overlapping with the lower end surface of the annular flow guide plate 22. A connection line between the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 and the water supply port 126 crosses the supply port 125.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the supply chamber 12 is a detergent supply chamber 12, the water supply port 126 is provided at a corner and located at the ceiling of the lower annular side wall. Also, the supply port 125 is provided at the center of the supply chamber 12. Therefore, the connection line between the water supply port 126 and the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 straddles the supply port 125. The cleaning water entering from the water supply port 126 is first blown from bottom to top into the supply chamber 12, then flows downward along the lower annular side wall 124 at the side and flows into the supply port 125. The water flow flowing into the supply chamber 12 from the water supply port 126 has a certain flow rate and water pressure. Therefore, in order to prevent the cleaning water from colliding with the supply port or the lower annular side wall 124 and scattering the water flow, the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 is provided at a position opposite the water supply port 126, taking into consideration that the cleaning water mainly collides with the supply port or the lower annular side wall 124 at a position opposite the water supply port.

[0049] The band-shaped water shielding plate 4 protrudes above the ceiling portion of the lower annular side wall 124, and therefore can effectively block water flow.

[0050] The strip-shaped water shield plate 4 is provided below the annular flow guide plate 22 and overlaps the lower end surface of the annular flow guide plate 22. The strip-shaped water shield plate 4 assists the annular flow guide plate 22 and can block the detergent flowing out from within the annular flow guide plate 22. This prevents the detergent from scattering and guides the detergent to the supply port 125 of the supply chamber 12.

[0051] Furthermore, the water supply port 126 is provided at the corner between one right-angled side wall and the inclined side wall 1234. Moreover, the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 extends along the extension direction of the other right-angled side wall, and also extends from one end of the right-angled side wall to the other end. A U-shaped first water shielding portion 41 extending vertically upward is provided on the edge of the ceiling portion of the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4. The opening of the first water shielding portion 41 is provided facing the water supply port. If water splashes up to the ceiling portion of the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4, the first water shielding portion can further block the wash water.

[0052] The first water shielding portion 41 protrudes upward beyond the lower end surface of the annular flow guide plate 22, further strengthening the water blocking effect of the band-shaped water shielding plate 4. The first water shielding portion 41 is in the form of a concave groove with an opening facing the annular flow guide plate 22. The groove bottom of the first water shielding portion 41 extends from one end of the right-angled side wall to the other end. In addition, the groove wall of the first water shielding portion 41 and the groove bottom of the first water shielding portion 41 are arranged vertically.

[0053] As shown in Fig. 8, the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 is provided with a second water shielding portion 42 that is bent vertically downward on one side of the opening of the U-shaped first water shielding portion. The second water shielding portion 42 abuts against the side of the protruding rib facing the water supply port and against the ceiling portion of the lower annular side wall. The second water shielding portion 42 can further block the colliding water. Furthermore, when the colliding water flows down from the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4, the second water shielding plate 42 can guide the colliding water to the lower annular side wall 124 while blocking the colliding water.

[0054] A first insertion groove 1231 is provided in the upper annular side wall 123 below the support projection 122. The groove opening faces the inside of the supply chamber 12. A first insertion protrusion 42 protruding outward is provided on the outer periphery of the band-shaped water-blocking plate 4. The first insertion protrusion 42 is inserted into the first insertion groove 1231.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 8, a protruding rib 1241 protruding upward is provided on the ceiling of the lower annular side wall 124. The protruding rib 1241 extends along one of the right-angled side walls and from one end to the other end of the one of the right-angled side walls. A second insertion groove 1242 is provided on the protruding rib 1241. A second insertion protrusion 43 protruding downward is provided on the bottom of the band-shaped water-shielding plate 4. The second insertion protrusion 43 is inserted into the second insertion groove 1242. The second water-shielding part 44 is inserted outside the second insertion groove 1242. The second water-shielding part abuts against the side of the protruding rib 1241 facing the water supply port 126.

[0056] 5 and 6, in an embodiment of the present invention, a vertically extending hollow siphon cap 24 is provided on the outside of the connecting wall of inlet 21. Also, a siphon column 127 having a hollow siphon hole 128 is provided on the bottom of supply chamber 12. Siphon column 127 and siphon cap 24 are tightly fitted together to form a flow passage communicating with siphon hole 128.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, in the present application, the supply chamber 12 provided to the left of the clothing inlet 11 may be the detergent supply chamber 12, and the supply chamber 12 provided to the right of the clothing inlet 11 may be the rinse agent supply chamber 12.

[0058] When the supply chamber 12 is a rinse agent supply chamber 12, a siphon cap 24 is provided on the outside of the connecting wall of the flow guide port 21, and a siphon column 127 is provided at the bottom of the supply chamber 12. The siphon cap 24 is provided on the outside of the siphon column 127 and is tightly fitted into the siphon column 127 to form a flow path communicating with a siphon hole 128. In addition, a supply port 125 overlapping with the siphon hole 128 is provided at the bottom of the supply chamber 12. The provision of the siphon structure accelerates the supply of the rinse agent from the supply chamber 12 to the inside of the outer tank lid.

[0059] The bottom of the supply chamber 12 is further provided with an overflow hole 129 and an overflow plate 130 that is disposed on the outer periphery of the overflow hole 129 and surrounds the overflow hole 129. The overflow plate 130 protrudes upward from the bottom of the supply chamber 12. The overflow hole 129 extends along the side wall of the supply chamber 12 that faces the water supply port. The overflow plate 130 also extends along the outer periphery of the overflow hole 129. That is, the shape of the overflow plate 130 matches the overflow hole 129. When the liquid level of the rinse agent in the supply chamber 12 is high, the detergent flows into the inside of the outer tub lid from the overflow hole 129. On the other hand, when the liquid level of the rinse agent in the supply chamber 12 is low, the detergent flows into the inside of the outer tub lid from the siphon hole 128 and the supply port 125. The overflow plate 130 can also be a water-blocking member that blocks colliding water and prevents water from splashing.

[0060] The siphon hole 128 is provided at the corner between one right-angled sidewall and the inclined sidewall 1234, and the water inlet 126 is provided at the corner between the two right-angled sidewalls. The water inlet 126 faces the overflow hole 129. The overflow hole 129 is also located on one side of the inclined sidewall 1234.

[0061] The overflow plate 130 serves as a strip-shaped water shielding plate 4, which is provided on the outer periphery of the annular flow guide member. The ceiling of the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 is higher than the lower end surface of the annular flow guide member 2. Specifically, the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 is provided below the annular flow guide plate 22. The ceiling of the strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 is higher than the lower end surface of the annular flow guide plate 22. The strip-shaped water shielding plate 4 assists the annular flow guide plate 22 and is capable of blocking the detergent flowing out from within the annular flow guide plate 22. This prevents the detergent from scattering and guides the detergent to the supply port 125 of the supply chamber 12.
