DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] In order to make the objections, technical solutions, and advantages of embodiments
of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments
of the present application will be clearly and completely described below. It is apparent
that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but
not all embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present
application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making
creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0037] Generally, a front closing door of a laundry treatment device is provided with a
light-transmitting port, a display structure for displaying a working state of the
laundry treatment device is mounted inside the light-transmitting port, and the display
structure generally comprises a support, a light-emitting member, and a light guide
member.
[0038] The laundry treatment device may be, for example, a drum washing machine, a laundry
dryer, or the like.
[0039] However, in the related art, during an assembly, it is necessary to first mount the
light guide member on the support, that is, the light guide member and the support
are combined into an integral structure, and then the combined integral structure
is mounted on the front closing door, which may lead to a problem that the light guide
member is easily scratched and a scrap rate is high.
[0040] Based on this, embodiments of the present application provide a display mounting
structure, and a laundry treatment device provided with the display mounting structure.
A light guide member and a support of the display mounting structure cooperate with
a front closing door of the laundry treatment device independently, that is, the light
guide member and the support are separate from each other. First, a guide protrusion
of the light guide member is embedded into a light-transmitting hole of the front
closing door, and then the light guide member abuts against an inner wall of the front
closing door through a cooperation of the support and the front closing door, which
avoids the phenomenon that the light guide member is scratched to a certain extent,
and further reduces the scrap rate of the light guide member due to the scratching.
In addition, a connection structure and assembly time of the light guide member and
the support are saved, and the assembly efficiency is improved.
[0041] The display mounting structure and the laundry treatment device are described in
detail below by specific embodiments.
First embodiment
[0042] With reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the present embodiment provides a display mounting
structure for a laundry treatment device. The display mounting structure comprises
a front closing door 1, a support 2, and a light guide member 3. Specifically, in
use, the display mounting structure can be configured to display a working condition
of the device using the display mounting structure, such as stopping or operating,
etc.
[0043] In the present embodiment, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the light guide member
3 is located between the support 2 and the front closing door 1, the front closing
door 1 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 11, and the light guide member 3
is provided with a light guide protrusion 31 extending into the light-transmitting
hole 11 to allow light emitted from a light-emitting member 5 mounted on the support
2 to be guided out through the light guide protrusion 31. That is, the light emitted
from the light-emitting member 5 in the display mounting structure can be guided out
from the light-transmitting hole 11 through the light guide member 3 and the light
guide protrusion 31, to allow display information of the light-emitting member 5 to
be exposed to an outside of the laundry treatment device. In this way, the user can
know the working condition of the laundry treatment device through the display information
of the light-emitting member 5.
[0044] It should be noted that an outer surface of the front closing door 1 is an appearance
surface of the laundry treatment device, and the light-transmitting hole 11 of the
front closing door 1 is also exposed on the appearance surface. That is, the light-transmitting
hole 11 of the front closing door 1 faces towards the user. Herein, structural forms
of the front closing door 1 and the light-transmitting hole 11 are not limited.
[0045] With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 6, the support 2 is provided with a first mounting
portion, the front closing door 1 is provided with a second mounting portion, and
the support 2 is connected to the front closing door 1 through a cooperation of the
first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, to allow the light guide member
3 to abut against the front closing door 1.
[0046] Specifically, during the assembly, the light guide member 3 and the support 2 are
connected to the front closing door 1 independently. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5,
the light guide protrusion 31 of the light guide member 3 is first embedded into the
light-transmitting hole 11 of the front closing door 1 from an inner side of the front
closing door 1, that is, the light guide member 3 is first prepositioned on the front
closing door 1. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the first mounting portion of the support
2 and the second mounting portion of the front closing door 1 are connected to each
other. At this time, one face of the light guide member 3 abuts against the front
closing door 1, and another face of the light guide member 3 abuts against the support
2, to allow the light guide member 3 to abut against the front closing door 1 through
the support 2. That is, the light guide member 3 abuts against the front closing door
1 through the support 2 under an action of the first mounting portion and the second
mounting portion. In this way, the connection is convenient and the structure is stable,
thus avoiding the phenomenon that the light guide member 3 is scratched to a certain
extent, reducing the scrap rate, and improving the working performance and the service
life of the light guide member 3.
[0047] Furthermore, since there is no need to provide a connection structure between the
light guide member 3 and the support 2, the assembly process is simplified, manpower
and material resources are saved, the cost is reduced, and the work efficiency is
improved.
[0048] According to the technical solution described above, in the display mounting structure
provided by the present embodiment, the light guide member 3 and the support 2 sequentially
cooperate with the front closing door 1, that is, the light guide protrusion 31 of
the light guide member 3 is first inserted into the light-transmitting hole 11 of
the front closing door 1, to allow the light guide member 3 to be prepositioned on
the front closing door 1. The support 2 is then mounted on the front closing door
1 through a cooperation of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion,
and in the meantime, the light guide member 3 abuts against the front closing door
1 through the support 2, to allow the light guide member 3 to be stably sandwiched
between the front closing door 1 and the support 2. During the assembly, the light
guide member 3 is prepositioned on the front closing door 1 first, then the support
2 is assembled on the front closing door 1, and the light guide member 3 abuts against
the front closing door 1 through the support 2 after the support 2 is assembled in
place. In this way, the phenomenon that the light guide member 3 is scratched is avoided
to a certain extent, and the scrap rate of the light guide member 3 due to the scratching
is further reduced. In addition, the connection structure and the assembly time of
the light guide member 3 and the support 2 are saved, and the assembly efficiency
is improved.
[0049] In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, a waterproof seal 4 is provided
at a joint of the light-transmitting hole 11 and the light guide member 3.
[0050] Generally, there is a large amount of water vapor in the use environment of the laundry
treatment device, and sometimes liquid water is hung on the appearance surface of
the laundry treatment device. If the water vapor or the liquid water enters into the
display mounting structure from the light-transmitting hole 11, the device may be
malfunctioned. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, by providing the
waterproof seal 4 at the joint of the light-transmitting hole 11 and the light guide
member 3, the water vapor or the liquid water can be prevented from entering into
the display mounting structure through the light-transmitting hole 11 to a certain
extent to damage parts. In this way, the waterproof performance is improved, the service
life of the display mounting structure and the device using the display mounting structure
is prolonged, and a good safety is provided.
[0051] It can be understood that the waterproof seal 4 may be provided on a face of the
light guide member 3 close to the front closing door 1, and certainly, the waterproof
seal 4 may also be mounted on the inner wall of the front closing door 1, and it may
be arbitrarily selected according to specific usage situations, which is not limited
herein.
[0052] In some embodiments, the waterproof seal 4 comprises two waterproof strips, one of
the two waterproof strips is located above the light guide protrusion 31, and another
one of the two waterproof strips is located below the light guide protrusion 31, which
not only facilitates the assembly, but also further improves the waterproof performance
of the display mounting structure.
[0053] Certainly, the waterproof seal 4 may also be an annular seal ring provided around
a periphery of the light guide protrusion 31.
[0054] In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the light guide protrusion
31 is an elongated protrusion extending in a width direction of the laundry treatment
device, the light-transmitting hole 11 is an elongated hole into which the elongated
protrusion may extend, and each of the two waterproof strips extends in the width
direction of the laundry treatment device.
[0055] With reference to FIG. 1, when the user faces towards the front closing door 1, a
direction from a left side to a right side of the user is the width direction of the
laundry treatment device, and each of a width direction of the front closing door
1 and a width direction of the light guide member 3 coincides with the width direction
of the laundry treatment device.
[0056] The light guide protrusion 31 is provided as an elongated protrusion extending in
the width direction, and the light-transmitting hole is an elongated hole extending
in the width direction, which improves the safety of prepositioning the light guide
member on the front closing door, which further avoids the phenomenon that the light
guide member is scratched, and which reduces the scrap rate. In addition, each of
the two waterproof strips extends in the width direction of the laundry treatment
device, and is provided at the joint of the light guide protrusion 31 and the light-transmitting
hole 11, which further improves the waterproof sealing performance of the joint of
the light guide protrusion 31 and the light-transmitting hole 11, and improves the
service life of the display mounting structure provided by the present embodiment.
[0057] In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a side of the light
guide member 3 facing towards the front closing door 1 is provided with an accommodating
groove 32. The waterproof seal 4 is located in the accommodating groove 32, and a
part of the waterproof seal 4 protrudes out of a notch of the accommodating groove
32. That is, in a direction from a bottom of the accommodating groove 32 to the notch
of the accommodating groove 32, a dimension of the waterproof seal 4 is greater than
a depth of the accommodating groove 32, to allow a face of the waterproof seal 4 close
to the front closing door 1 to abut against the inner wall of the front closing door
1 when the light guide protrusion 31 of the light guide member 3 is inserted into
the light-transmitting hole 11 in place, which leads to a good sealing effect.
[0058] With this arrangement, a part of the waterproof seal 4 is accommodated in the accommodating
groove 32, which not only facilitates the assembly of the waterproof seal 4, but also
improves the stability of a connection of the waterproof seal 4 and the light guide
member 3. In addition, the thickness of the waterproof seal 4 can be increased without
changing a relative position of the light guide member 3 and the front closing door
1, and the waterproofing performance can be further improved.
[0059] In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 3, a bent edge 111 extending towards
the support 2 is provided on an inner side of the light-transmitting hole 11. With
reference to FIG. 4, a rib 25 is provided at a periphery of the accommodating groove
32, and the bent edge 111 and the rib 25 jointly limit the waterproof seal 4.
[0060] Specifically, in use, on the basis of accommodating the waterproof seal 4 in the
accommodating groove 32, the waterproof seal 4 can be jointly limited by the bent
edge 111 provided on the inner side of the light-transmitting hole 11 and the rib
25 provided at the periphery of the accommodating groove 32, which further improves
the stability of the connection of the waterproof seal 4 and the accommodating groove
32, and thus improves the airtightness between the light guide member and the front
closing door.
[0061] Herein, the bent edge 111 is provided on the inner side of the light-transmitting
hole 11 along a circumferential direction of the light-transmitting hole 11. That
is, the bent edge 111 is an annular turned edge provided on the inner side of the
light-transmitting hole 11, and the bent edge 111 is bent and extends towards the
support 2, that is, towards a direction away from the user, which improves the sealing
performance, and which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the display
mounting structure provided in the present embodiment.
[0062] In some embodiments, the waterproof seal 4 is bonded to a face of the light guide
member 3 close to the front closing door 1, which facilitates the connection and the
assembly, and in addition, improves the connection strength of the waterproof seal
4 and the light guide member 3.
[0063] By way of example, with reference to FIG. 4, the waterproof seal 4 is bonded to the
accommodating groove 32 of the light guide member 3, which leads to a simple structure
and convenient assembly.
[0064] In other embodiments, the waterproof seal 4 may be bonded to the inner wall of the
front closing door 1 by a structural adhesive, or the inner wall of the front closing
door 1 may be provide with an accommodating groove for accommodating the waterproof
seal 4, and the waterproof seal 4 may be bonded to the accommodating groove of the
inner wall of the front closing door 1 by a structural adhesive.
[0065] In some embodiments, the waterproof seal 4 is a sponge.
[0066] The sponge has good water-blocking and water-isolating performance, is simple in
structure, and is easy to realize. In addition, since the sponge is elastic, it can
play a certain buffering role during the assembly, which avoids the phenomenon that
a face of the light guide member 3 away from the light-emitting member 5 is scratched
to a certain extent, and improves the working performance of the light-emitting member
5.
[0067] In other embodiments, the waterproof seal 4 may also be, for example, a rubber, silicone,
or the like.
[0068] In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 6, there are at least two
first mounting portions, and the at least two first mounting portions are spaced apart
from each other along a circumferential direction of the support 2. There are at least
two second mounting portions, and the at least two second mounting portions are spaced
apart from each other along a circumferential direction of the front closing door
1. The at least two first mounting portions form one-to-one correspondence relationship
with the at least two second mounting portions. In this way, the structure is simple
and easy to realize.
[0069] By providing a plurality of first mounting portions and a plurality of second mounting
portions cooperating with the plurality of first mounting portions, the connection
strength of the support 2 and the front closing door 1 is improved, and the stability
of the light guide member 3 between the front closing door 1 and the support 2 is
further improved, thereby improving the structural stability of the display mounting
structure, which contributes to improving the working performance of the display mounting

display effect.
[0083] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, a diffuser film
6 is provided between the light guide member 3 and the support 2. That is, the diffuser
film 6 is provided on a face of the support 2 away from the lamp body, and the diffuser
film 6 covers at least a part of the light through hole 23. In this way, on the one
hand, the light emitted by each LED of the light-emitting member 5 can be evenly dispersed
to facilitate the display. On the other hand, water vapor or liquid water can be prevented
from entering the light-emitting member 5 through the light through hole 23, which
can further improve the waterproofing performance.
[0084] In some embodiments, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, a face of the support 2
facing towards the light guide member 3 is provided with a receiving groove 24 for
receiving the diffuser film 6, and the diffuser film 6 is located in the receiving
groove 24, which facilitates the assembly, and in addition, improves the stability
of a connection of the diffuser film 6 and the support 2.
[0085] Herein, a face of diffuser film 6 close to the light guide member 3 is flush with
a notch of receiving groove 24.
[0086] In addition, the diffuser film 6 may be placed in the receiving groove 24 with an
outer surface of the diffuser film 6 abutting against a groove wall of the accommodating
groove 32. Certainly, the diffuser film 6 may also be bonded to the accommodating
groove 32 by a structural adhesive.
Second embodiment
[0087] The present embodiment also provides a laundry treatment device, which may be, for
example, a laundry treatment device such as a washing machine or a dryer.
[0088] Herein, the laundry treatment device comprises a display mounting structure.
[0089] The display mounting structure in the present embodiment has the same specific structure
and implementation principle as the display mounting structure provided in the first
embodiment, and can bring the same or similar technical effects as the display mounting
structure provided in the first embodiment, which will not be repeatedly described
herein, and can refer to the description of the first embodiment described above.
[0090] Other technical features are the same as those of the first embodiment described
above, and will not be repeatedly described herein.
[0091] In the laundry treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present application,
the light guide member and the support sequentially cooperate with the front closing
door, that is, the light guide protrusion of the light guide member is first inserted
into the light-transmitting hole of the front closing door, to allow the light guide
member to be prepositioned on the front closing door. The support is then mounted
on the front closing door through a cooperation of the first mounting portion and
the second mounting portion, and in the meantime, the light guide member abuts against
the front closing door through the support, to allow the light guide member to be
stably sandwiched between the front closing door and the support. Such a design avoids
the phenomenon that the light guide member is scratched to a certain extent, and further
reduces the scrap rate of the light guide member due to the scratching. In addition,
a connection structure and assembly time of the light guide member and the support
are saved, and the assembly efficiency is improved.
[0092] It should be noted that the relationship terms such as "first" and "second" are intended
merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and
do not necessarily require or imply that any such actual relationship or order exists
between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprise", "comprising",
