Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of washing machines, and particularly relates to a door seal structure for a horizontal shaft washing machine and the horizontal shaft washing machine.
Background
The washing machines are classified according to installation directions, and are mainly classified into a vertical axis washing machine, which may include a pulsator type washing machine and a pulsator type washing machine, and a horizontal axis washing machine, which is generally referred to as a drum type washing machine, and a horizontal axis washing machine, which has a door seal structure arranged in a horizontal axis direction. The main function of the door sealing structure is to prevent the washing water from splashing out when the washing machine is in a washing working condition and to prevent the dehydration barrel from safely rotating at a high speed when the dehydration working condition is adopted. Because the horizontal axis washing machine adopts the washing principle that the clothes are continuously beaten in the washing drum, the door seal structure of the horizontal axis washing machine is inevitably extruded by the washed clothes and the washing water continuously in the using process, and the sealing performance of the door seal structure of the horizontal axis washing machine is greatly tested, so that the sealing performance requirement of the door seal structure of the horizontal axis washing machine is higher than that of the vertical axis washing machine and is more important.
Generally, door seals for horizontal axis washing machines are door panels and door seal lips installed around clothes input openings of the washing machine body, the door seal lips are generally made of elastic materials, when the door panels are closed, the door panels press the door seal lips and are tightly sucked by means of surface elastic tension of the door seal lips, and water in the washing machine is prevented from leaking. The elastic material is mostly made of Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and the sealing structure enables the washing machine to be simple and convenient to open and close the door and is popular among consumers of the washing machine.
However, after long-term use, it is found that the surface elastic tension of the door sealing lip in the door sealing structure gradually declines with time, and the sealing effect between the door panel and the door sealing lip is gradually reduced. Especially, when a user puts in a certain amount of clothes, the clothes and the washing water in the washing machine can continuously press the door panel along with the operation of the washing machine, so that the door panel is acted by the outward opening door, the door sealing lip edge and the door panel are easy to separate, and finally the water leakage phenomenon of the washing machine is caused.
Further, as the waterfall washing technology of the horizontal axis washing machine is gradually popularized and applied, the waterfall washing technology needs to arrange a nozzle on the door seal and spray water to the edge of the door seal through the nozzle, and as the water pressure is high, the binding force between the door panel and the edge of the door seal can be greatly weakened, so that the edge of the door seal is separated from the door panel, and the risk of water leakage of the horizontal axis washing machine is high.
