Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the best embodiment of the washing machine door body is described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, the washing machine door body according to the present invention includes a front plate member (not shown in the figure), and an observation window assembly, wherein the observation window assembly sequentially includes an outer frame 1, a window screen 2, a decoration frame 3, a time display module 4, a middle frame 5, a sealing ring 6, a glass 7, and an inner frame 8 from outside to inside.
Referring to FIG. 2, a front view of the assembled viewing window assembly is shown. When the washing machine is installed, the convex surface of the glass 7 faces inwards, and the observation window component is installed in the middle of the front plate component of the washing machine to form the door body of the washing machine.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the preferred embodiment of the present patent application will be described in detail.
An installation area 5-1 of the time module is arranged at the middle part of the upper part of the middle frame 5, and the time display module 4 is embedded in the installation area 5-1. The decorative frame 3 is circular, the whole shape and size of the decorative frame are matched with the middle frame 5, and the decorative frame is fastened with the middle frame 5 during installation. The upper periphery of the decorative frame 3 is provided with a display window 3-1 at a position corresponding to the time display module 4, and the size of the display window 3-1 is smaller than or equal to that of the mounting area 3-1. The decorative frame 3 is composed of a base body and a covering layer, wherein the base body is made of transparent materials, transparent ABS, transparent PC or transparent acrylic can be selected, the covering layer is arranged on the outer surface of the base body, the thickness of the base body materials on the base body is inconsistent, the thickness of the covering layer at the position corresponding to the display window 3-1 is 0.5 mm-1.5 mm, and the thickness of the covering layer at other positions is 2mm-4 mm. The thickness of the covering layer on the substrate is also inconsistent, the thickness of the covering layer at the corresponding position of the display window 3-1 is 10 um-20 um, and the thickness of the covering layer at other positions is 20um-50 um.
In the preferred embodiment, the decoration frame 3 is formed by plating a plating layer on the substrate, and the plating process of the decoration frame 3 can be a direct plating method or a vacuum plating method. The material of the covering layer is generally low-potential metal such as aluminum, titanium, zirconium and the like, and particularly, the covering layer of the material is characterized in that although the thickness of the covering layer at the position of the display window is 10-20 um, and the thickness of the covering layer at other positions is 20-50 um, the display window 3-1 cannot be seen on the decorative frame 3 in a non-energized state, and the decorative frame is in a non-see-through state, and the decorative frame 3 integrally shields the middle frame 5 and comprises the time display module 4 when seen from the outside. That is, when the washing machine is not powered on, the time display module is in a hidden state, the whole appearance is atmosphere, and the aesthetic feeling is not destroyed. On the other hand, the time display module 4 is protected by the decoration frame 3, so that the time display module is not easy to be corroded by moisture, and the reliability of the electric device is improved. Further, in order to avoid the time display module 4 from being damaged due to moisture, referring to fig. 4 and 5, a U-shaped sealing ring 6 is installed on the outer periphery of the glass 7, and the inner side of the sealing ring 6 is tightly attached to the inner frame, so that the moisture in the roller is effectively prevented from entering the time display module 4.
Example two
The decoration frame 5 is formed by injection molding or transfer printing of a film, a covering layer is additionally arranged on the surface of the transparent substrate, the covering layer is a molding film, the molding film is generally made of PET, the thickness of the molding film at the position of the display window is 50 um-80 um and is smaller than the thicknesses of other positions, and the thicknesses of other positions are larger than 80 um. The decoration frame 5 formed in this manner also achieves the same effects as those of the preferred embodiment, except that the manufacturing process of such a decoration frame is complicated.
In the present patent application, the position of the display window 3-1 must be aligned at the time display module 4, so for the convenience of installation and positioning, the middle frame 3 and the decorative frame 5 are provided with at least three pairs of positioning devices, and the positioning devices can be used in a manner that the periphery of the middle frame is provided with at least three positioning concave arcs, and the periphery of the decorative frame is provided with three positioning concave arcs matched with the positions of the positioning concave arcs. In the second mode, the middle frame periphery and the decoration frame periphery are provided with three positioning claws/positioning holes or positioning hole/positioning column structures with matched position shapes.
Referring to fig. 7, in order to facilitate the user to view the remaining time display of the washing machine, the time display module 4 is preferably disposed at a middle position of an upper portion of a circumference of the middle frame 5, and has a rectangular shape, a square shape, or an oval shape. The time display module 4 is assembled with the mounting area 5-1 of the middle frame by means of a claw mounting into the mounting frame. The nixie tube membrane of the time display module 4 needs to be designed to be black or grey or other dark colors, so that the nixie tube membrane is matched with the color of the decorative ring when being electrified.
Referring to fig. 6, the present invention also relates to a washing machine using the above-described structure and a washing method of the washing machine. The detailed description is as follows: the washing program of the washing machine comprises washing, rinsing and dewatering, the time display module can be observed by a user when the washing machine is powered on, and the time display module can not be observed by the user when the washing machine is not powered on, and the washing machine specifically comprises the following steps:
washing clothes, electrifying, pressing a power switch key, not electrifying the time display module, not illuminating the display window position of the decorative frame, and at the moment, the time display module is hidden from the appearance;
selecting a washing program, automatically detecting and calculating the total working time of the washing machine, and then sending an instruction to a time display module by a computer program controller, wherein specific numbers appear on the time display module, and the total working time is the time;
pressing a start key, wherein in the washing process, the time display module dynamically displays the residual working time, the position of the decorative frame corresponding to the time display module is in a perspective shape, and the time display module and the residual working time are in an explicit state;
the washing is accomplished, and the outage, time display module are cut off the power supply simultaneously, and the dress escutcheon is whole to be the opaque form, and time display module is the hidden state.
The washing machine adopting the washing method can enable a user to conveniently observe the residual working time of the washing machine at any time so as to flexibly arrange the next working or receive rinsing water at a proper time point so as to be recycled. The time display module is in a display state when the whole machine works and is in a hidden state when the whole machine does not work, the personalized requirements of users are realized functionally, and the aesthetic feeling of the whole machine is also ensured in appearance.
Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and the applied products include, but are not limited to, a drum washing machine, and a pulsator washing machine, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that such modifications and changes can be made to the present invention within the scope of the claims and their equivalents without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention, for example, the structure is used in home appliances such as pulsator washing machine, dishwasher, etc.
