For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] As shown in FIGS. 1-7, the present application provides a sealing structure of a washing machine, which comprises an annular mounting portion 11 assembled with a drum opening of the washing machine, a front panel 5 of the washing machine is arranged outside the drum opening, a drop opening 2 of the front panel 5 corresponds to the drum opening, and one end of the annular mounting portion 11 is provided with a shielding portion 12; the shielding portion 12 protrudes from the drum opening and is arranged with a spacing from the drop opening 2.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the shielding portion 12 is arranged at one end of the annular mounting portion 11, so that the shielding portion 12 can shield the components inside the washing machine, mainly the plastic outer drum, so that the washing machine looks more beautiful from the outside, so that the shielding portion 12 plays a decorative role, and at the same time maintains a spacing with the front panel 5, which can prevent the position where the sealing structure is connected with the front panel 5 from cracking and the sealing structure from shaking and colliding with the front panel 5, thereby increasing the service life of the sealing structure.

[0050] The sealing structure of the present application is a window pad 1, which comprises an annular mounting portion 11 assembled with a drum opening of a washing machine.

[0051] The washing machine in the sealing structure of the washing machine can be a drum washing machine, which comprises a machine shell, an outer drum 3 arranged in the machine shell, and an inner drum 4 arranged in the outer drum 3; wherein the inner drum 4 is a non-porous drum, the inner drum 4 is used for containing washing water, and an inner drum door is arranged at an inner drum opening 41 of the inner drum 4, and the inner drum door is closed when washing clothes; or the outer drum 3 is used for containing washing water; it should be noted that when the inner drum 4 is a non-porous drum, the outer drum 3 can not be arranged outside the inner drum 4, and a water collecting structure such as a water collecting tank is directly arranged.

[0052] A front panel 5 is arranged at the front side of the machine shell, and a drop opening 2 is arranged on the front panel 5, so that a user can successively drop clothes into the inner drum 4 through the drop opening 2, an outer drum opening 31, and an inner drum opening 41.

[0053] In addition, when the inner drum 4 is a water containing drum, the outer drum 3 is arranged outside, or the outer drum 3 is a water containing drum, and the inner drum 4 is arranged in the outer drum 3, the shielding portion 12 of the present application can also block foreign matters entering from the gap between the front panel 5 and the outer drum 3, so as to prevent the foreign matters from entering between the machine shell and the outer drum 3.

[0054] The drum opening of the washing machine of the present application is:

[0055] When the washing machine has the outer drum 3 and the inner drum 4, the drum opening assembled with the annular mounting portion 11 is the outer drum opening 31, the inner drum opening 41, or the outer drum opening 31 and the inner drum opening 41, and preferably, the radial dimension of the outer drum opening 31 is smaller than the radial dimension of the drop opening 2.

[0056] When the washing machine is without the outer drum 3, the drum opening assembled with the annular mounting portion 11 is the inner drum opening 41, and preferably, the radial dimension of the inner drum opening 41 is smaller than the radial dimension of the drop opening 2.

[0057] The annular mounting portion 11 of the present application is coaxially arranged with the drum opening;

[0058] The shielding portion 12 of the present application has a certain extension length in the circumferential direction, which can increase the shielding length of the gap between the drop opening 2 and the outer drum opening 31, and increase the shielding area of the internal components of the washing machine in the circumferential direction; preferably, the shielding portion 12 of the present application is annular.

[0059] The drop opening 2 of the present application is preferably arranged at the middle of the front panel 5, and the drop opening 2 is recessed from the front panel 5 to the drum opening direction, and the drop opening 2 gradually narrows from the front panel 5 to the drum opening direction, which can guide the clothes to be dropped to the drum opening direction; preferably, the drop opening 2 is circular annular.

[0060] The shielding portion 12 and the auxiliary shielding portion 13 described below are arranged with a spacing from the small size end of the drop opening 2, which can further prevent the shielding portion 12 and the auxiliary shielding portion 13 from colliding with the front panel 5 during the shaking of the window cushion 1.

[0061] Further, the small size end of the drop opening 2 is outwardly bent to form a curled edge 51, and the shielding portion 12 and the auxiliary shielding portion 13 described below are arranged with a spacing from the curled edge 51; since the edge of the front panel 5 at the drop opening 2 is relatively sharp, the curled edge 51 is arranged, which can reduce the friction damage to the shaking window cushion 1 and the clothes.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the projection of the shielding portion 12 on the front panel 5 at least partially covers the edge of the drop opening 2.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the above arrangement makes the shielding portion 12 extend to the outer periphery of the drum opening to a degree exceeding the drop opening 2, so that the shielding area of the shielding portion 12 is increased, and the internal components of the washing machine can also be shielded when the window cushion 1 shakes;

[0064] Further, the extension end of the shielding portion 12 is provided with an auxiliary shielding portion 13 bent to the front panel 5; the arrangement of the auxiliary shielding portion 13 increases the shielding dimension, so that the shielding portion 12 and the auxiliary shielding portion 13 can shield the internal components of the washing machine no matter how the window cushion 1 shakes, and the internal components of the washing machine can be further prevented from being viewed from the outside of the washing machine;

[0065] Specifically, the shielding part 12 is formed by radially extending from one end of the ring-shaped mounting part 11, and the auxiliary shielding part 13 is formed by axially bending and extending from the shielding part 12, so that the window cushion 1 is more beautiful, and the radial shielding of the shielding part 12 is the main shielding. Due to the need to avoid other components, the auxiliary shielding part 13 is not annular, and is discontinuously arranged on the shielding part 12.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment, the shielding part 12 radially extends to be substantially flush with the outer cylinder peripheral wall 31, so that the radial size of the shielding part 12 is large enough, and no matter how the window cushion 1 swings, the internal components of the washing machine cannot be observed from the outside of the washing machine.

[0067] The auxiliary shielding part 13 is in a groove shape, and the groove opening faces the dropping opening 2, so that the auxiliary shielding part 13 has the functions of guiding water and collecting water.

[0068] Further, the shielding part 12 is provided with a fixing part 121 fixedly connected with the cylinder wall of the washing machine.

[0069] The fixing part 121 is provided at a position of the shielding part 12 beyond the dropping opening 2, and is fixedly connected with the cylinder wall of the washing machine.

[0070] Specifically, when there is no outer cylinder 3, the fixing part 121 is fixedly connected with the inner cylinder front end wall 42 of the outer periphery of the inner cylinder cylinder mouth 41, and when there is the outer cylinder 3, the fixing part 121 is fixedly connected with the outer cylinder front end wall 32 of the outer periphery of the outer cylinder cylinder mouth 31; the fixing part 121 is a fixing hole 121a penetrating the shielding part 12 from the front panel 5 to the cylinder mouth direction.

[0071] The fixing hole 121a is a plurality of holes distributed along the circumference of the shielding segment, and is fixedly connected with the outer cylinder front end wall 32 of the outer periphery of the outer cylinder cylinder mouth 31 or the inner cylinder front end wall 42 of the outer periphery of the inner cylinder cylinder mouth 41 through screws, so as to prevent the window cushion 1 from falling off from the outer cylinder 3 when the washing machine is running, and improve the stability of the window cushion 1.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, a water collecting part 14 surrounded by the shielding part 12 and the auxiliary shielding part 13 is arranged below the dropping opening 2;

[0073] The water collecting part 14 is provided with a drainage opening 14a;

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the inner cylinder 4 is a non-porous cylinder, and the outer cylinder 3 is arranged outside the inner cylinder 4. When the inner cylinder 4 is dehydrated, the washing water of the outer cylinder 3 and the inner cylinder 4 will splash from the gap between the outer cylinder 3 and the inner cylinder 4 to the window cushion 1, resulting in residual washing water on the window cushion 1. The water collecting part 14 can collect the residual water on the window cushion 1 and discharge the water through the drain port 14a. Specifically, the shielding part 12 and the auxiliary shielding part 13 guide the washing water into the water collecting part 14, and the water collecting part 14 is in a groove shape. The washing water in the water collecting part 14 is discharged through the drain port 14a.

[0075] As a preferred embodiment, the drain port 14a is in communication with the outer cylinder 3 of the washing machine. The washing water in the water collecting part 14 is discharged into the outer cylinder 3 through the drain port 14a and then discharged from the outer cylinder 3 to the outside during dehydration.

[0076] As a preferred embodiment, the drain port 14a is arranged at the joint of the shielding part 12 and the auxiliary shielding part 13 at the bottom of the water collecting part 14 and faces the front end wall 32 of the outer cylinder.

[0077] On the one hand, the position of the drain port 14a is at the bottom of the water collecting part 14, which can accelerate the discharge of washing water and reduce the residual washing water in the water collecting part 14. On the other hand, the outer cylinder 3 and the drain port 14a can be in linear extension and in pipeline communication, which shortens the length of the pipeline and reduces the resistance to the discharged washing water.

[0078] Further, the auxiliary shielding part 13 is bent to form a water blocking part 15 opposite to the shielding part 12 and blocking the water collecting part 14.

[0079] In order to prevent the washing water from leaking from the side of the water collecting part 14 opposite to the shielding part 12 and failing to be normally discharged from the drain port 14a, the water blocking part 15 is arranged to always keep the washing water in the water collecting part 14.

[0080] The depth of the bottom of the water collecting part 14 is greater than the depth of the upper part of the water collecting part 14, so that more washing water can be concentrated at the bottom of the water collecting part 14 and reach the drain port 14a as soon as possible by gravity.

[0081] The auxiliary shielding part 13 is in a groove shape. Specifically, the groove wall of the auxiliary shielding part 13 is in a circular arc shape.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, the outer periphery of the annular mounting part 11 is provided with a plug-in groove 112, the inner periphery of the outer cylinder mouth 31 is provided with a plug-in protrusion, at least part of the annular mounting part 11 is embedded in the outer cylinder mouth 31, and the plug-in protrusion is inserted into the plug-in groove 112.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the plug-in protrusion is inserted into the plug-in groove 112 to achieve the detachable installation between the window cushion 1 and the outer cylinder 3, which can provide pre-installation for the fixed connection between the window cushion 1 and the outer cylinder 3.

[0084] Specifically, the front end wall of the outer cylinder 3 comprises a first annular part coaxially arranged with the outer cylinder 3 and a second annular part arranged at the front side of the first annular part, the inner periphery of the front end of the second annular part forms the outer cylinder mouth 31, and the inner periphery of the front end opening of the second annular part is provided with a plug-in protrusion.

[0085] The outer peripheral wall of the annular mounting part 11 is provided with a protruding part 111, and the protruding part 111 is provided with a plug-in slot 112 opening opposite to the outer peripheral wall of the annular mounting part 11. The plug-in protrusion is inserted into the plug-in slot 112. By arranging the plug-in slot 112 on the outer peripheral wall of the annular mounting part 11, the plug-in strength between the plug-in slot 112 and the plug-in protrusion can be increased.

[0086] Further, the plug-in slot 112 has a first radial segment 1121 opening opposite to the outer periphery of the annular mounting part 11, and the end of the first radial segment 1121 opposite to the opening is bent forward to extend to form a first axial segment 1123, and the first radial segment 1121 between the first axial segment 1123 and the opening is bent backward to form a second axial segment 1124.

[0087] The plug-in protrusion has a part matched with the first radial segment 1121, the first axial segment and the second axial segment for plug-in, so as to realize the plug-in matching of the plug-in slot 112 and the plug-in protrusion in the axial direction and the radial direction. The multi-dimensional plug-in matching can increase the plug-in strength between the plug-in slot 112 and the plug-in protrusion, thereby improving the assembly strength between the outer cylinder mouth 31 and the window cushion 1. The inner periphery of the front end opening of the second annular part is provided with a first radial protrusion.

[0088] The plug-in slot 112 further comprises a second radial segment 1122, which is formed by radially bending and extending from the end of the first axial segment 1123. The second radial segment 1122 is arranged opposite to the first radial segment 1121, and extends to not more than the opening of the first radial segment 1121. The second radial segment 1122 further increases the plug-in strength of the plug-in slot 112 and the plug-in protrusion in the radial direction. The end of the front slot wall of the second radial segment 1122 is obliquely arranged to the rear slot wall of the second radial segment 1122. On the basis of ensuring the plug-in strength between the plug-in protrusion and the plug-in slot 112, the disassembly and installation between the plug-in slot 112 and the plug-in protrusion are facilitated.

[0089] Further, the front slot wall of the first radial segment 1121 is higher than the rear slot wall of the first radial segment 1121 and abuts against the front end face of the outer cylinder mouth 31, so that the front end face of the second annular part abuts against the front end face of the first radial segment 1121, thereby improving the assembly strength between the second annular part and the window cushion 1 and providing the stability of the window cushion 1 on the outer cylinder 3.

[0090] Further, the front groove wall of the first radial section 1121, the rear groove wall of the second radial section 1122 and the groove wall of the second axial section 1124 together form a flow guide groove 113, which is annular and can guide the washing water on the window pad 1 to a place where the washing water flows into the shell of the non-electronic element.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the other end of the annular mounting portion 11 is provided with a water blocking portion 16 extending towards the inner drum 4 of the washing machine;

[0092] The outer drum front end wall 32 is formed with a water passage 6 between the outer drum mouth 31 and the inner drum front end wall 42;

[0093] The water blocking portion 16 blocks the water passage 6.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the inner drum 4 is a non-porous inner drum 4, and the outer drum 3 is arranged outside the inner drum 4; when the non-porous inner drum 4 is dehydrated, the washing water of the outer drum 3 and the inner drum 4 will splash onto the window pad 1 from the gap between the outer drum 3 and the inner drum 4; in order to reduce the splashing of the washing water onto the window pad 1, the water blocking portion 16 is arranged on the annular mounting portion 11, and the water blocking portion 16 partially blocks the water passage 6 formed between the outer drum front end wall 32 and the inner drum front end wall 42;

[0095] The reason for the partial blocking is to prevent the water blocking portion 16 from contacting the inner drum front end wall 42 and to avoid the window pad 1 from hitting the inner drum front end wall 42 when it shakes.

[0096] Further, the water blocking portion 16 gradually extends outwardly and side-wards and extends into the water passage 6 between the outer drum front end wall 32 and the inner drum front end wall 42; the water blocking portion 16 arranged in the inclined manner can guide the washing water and guide the washing water into the outer drum 3.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the inner circumferential side of the water blocking portion 16 is provided with a blocking portion 17 extending towards the inner drum 4;

[0098] The inner drum front end wall 42 is recessed to form a recessed portion 421 towards the front panel 5;

[0099] The inner drum mouth 41 is arranged at the bottom 421a of the recessed portion;

[0100] The water blocking portion 16 extends towards the side 421b of the recessed portion;

[0101] The blocking portion 17 extends towards the corner between the side 421b and the bottom of the recessed portion.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the blocking part 17 is arranged at one end of the annular mounting part 11 and extends inwardly from the one end of the annular mounting part 11 to the inner cylinder 4, and the extending end of the blocking part 17 extends to the position close to the outer wall of the inner cylinder 4 at the periphery of the cylinder mouth 41, so as to prevent foreign matters such as coins from entering the outer cylinder 3 from the gap between the inner cylinder 4 and the outer cylinder 3; at the same time, the blocking part 17 is arranged inside the water blocking part 16, so as to assist the water blocking part 16 in blocking the washing water, and of course, the water blocking part 16 can also assist the blocking part 17 in blocking the foreign matters.

[0103] The extending end of the blocking part 17 is close to the front end wall 42 of the inner cylinder, so as to prevent the window cushion 1 from colliding with the front end wall 42 of the inner cylinder when the window cushion 1 shakes.

[0104] Specifically, the corner is formed between the side part 421b of the recessed part and the bottom part 421a of the recessed part, and the extending end of the blocking part 17 is close to the corner; further, the extending end of the blocking part 17 is close to the corner by being inclined and extending to the inner circumferential side.

[0105] Specifically, the bottom part 421a of the recessed part extends radially, the bottom part 421a of the recessed part is outwardly bent to form the side part 421b of the recessed part, the bottom part 421a of the recessed part and the side part 421b of the recessed part are connected by the connecting part 421c which is outwardly protruded in the radial direction at the corner, the extending end of the blocking part 17 is close to the connecting wall, preferably, the connecting wall is in the shape of a circular arc, the extension line of the blocking part 17 is perpendicular to the tangent line of the connecting part 421c, so that the spacing between the blocking part 17 and the connecting part 421c is relatively small, and the blocking of the foreign matters can be maximized.

[0106] Further, the annular mounting part 11 is coaxially arranged with the connecting wall, the connecting part 421c is annular, the radial dimension of the inner circumferential wall of the connecting wall is smaller than the radial dimension of the inner circumferential wall of the annular mounting part 11, and the one end of the annular mounting part 11 is inclined and extended to the direction of the connecting wall to form the blocking part 17, so that the size of the blocking part 17 gradually decreases from front to back.
