Display mounting structure and clothes treatment equipment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The light guide member in conventional laundry treatment devices is easily scratched during assembly, leading to a high scrap rate and assembly inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A display mounting structure where the light guide member is prepositioned on the front closing door before assembly with the support, using a light guide protrusion and mounting portions for stable connection, and incorporating a waterproof seal at the joint of the light-transmitting hole and light guide member.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the light guide member and support are combined into an integral structure before mounting, then the assembly structure is simplified, but the light guide member is easily scratched and the scrap rate increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display structure into separate components: the light guide member and the support are no longer combined into an integral structure but are mounted separately on the front closing door. This segmentation allows each component to be handled independently during assembly, reducing the risk of scratching the light guide member while maintaining structural simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The light guide member is pre-mounted on the front closing door before the support is installed. This preliminary action ensures the light guide member is securely positioned and protected during subsequent assembly steps, preventing scratches while simplifying the overall assembly process.
2Reliability
If the light guide member is mounted first before the support, then the light guide member is protected from scratching, but the assembly process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly process is segmented into distinct steps: first mounting the light guide member, then mounting the support. This clear segmentation of assembly steps protects the light guide member while keeping the overall process straightforward and manageable.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional assembly methods are used, then the assembly process is simple, but the light guide member is easily scratched leading to high scrap rates
Solution Approach 1:
The light guide member is pre-mounted on the front closing door before other components are installed. This preliminary mounting action protects the light guide member from scratching during subsequent assembly operations, reducing scrap rates while maintaining ease of manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The light guide member and support are treated as separate components mounted at different stages, allowing the light guide member to be protected during assembly without significantly complicating the manufacturing process.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a display mounting structure and clothes treatment equipment. The display mounting structure comprises a front sealing door, a support and a light guide member; the light guide member is located between the support and the front sealing door; a light-transmissive hole is formed in the front sealing door, and a light guide protrusion which can extend into the light-transmissive hole is provided on the light guide member, so that light emitted by a light-emitting member mounted on the support is guided out through the light guide protrusion; the support is provided with first mounting parts, the front sealing door is provided with second mounting parts, and the support is connected to the front sealing door by means of cooperation of the first mounting part and the second mounting part, so as to abut the light guide member against the front sealing door, so that the light guide member is stably sandwiched between the front sealing door and the support. According to such a design, the phenomenon that the light guide member is scratched is avoided to a certain extent, and the rejection rate of the light guide member caused by scratching is further reduced. In addition, the need for the connection structure between the light guide member and the support is eliminated, and the assembly time is shortened, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.
