A panel structure with built-in card reader and washing machine

Abstract

The invention provides a panel structure with a built-in card reader, and a washing machine, thus providing the technical effects of a stable fixed structure and reduced cost; the structure comprises a panel pedestal and a card reader fixing member; the panel pedestal is provided with an interface used for containing the card reader fixing member; the interface edge is folded to form a support member, an interference member and a fixed pedestal; the interference member comprises a support unit vertical to the panel pedestal, and a flange arranged in one side, opposite to the interface, of the support unit, wherein the flange bends to the center of the interface; the fixed pedestal is arranged opposite to the interference member; the card reader fixing member is a slot body, wherein the notch edge of the slot body is vertical to the slot body and extends outwards to form a flanging, and one side of the notch is provided with a fixing unit; in installation, the card reader fixing member is placed into the interface in the fixed pedestal direction; certain portion of the flanging of the notch is lifted by the support unit, and certain portion of the flanging is placed under the flange of the interference member, so the card reader fixing member can form elastic deformations; when the fixed pedestal is fixed, the elastic deformation can stabilize the card reader fixing member.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of washing machines, in particular to a panel structure with a built-in card reader and a washing machine. Background technique [0002] Commercial washing machines are widely used in universities, hotels and other fields. There is a card swiping area on the control panel, and a card reader is installed on the back of the card swiping area. The card reader has the function of actively generating a magnetic field. The magnetic field generated by the card reader can enable communication between the card reader and the stored-value card, so that the card reader can deduct the laundry fee from the stored-value card, and the user can use the commercial washing machine to wash clothes. [0003] The control panel of the existing commercial washing machine is usually made of sheet metal, and the metal properties of the sheet metal will shield electromagnetic waves, so that the card reader cannot successfully read th...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The control panel of the existing commercial washing machine is usually made of sheet metal, and the metal properties of the sheet metal will shield electromagnetic waves, so that the card reader cannot successfully read the information of the stored value card. Therefore, on the control panel made of sheet metal , usually an opening is opened, and a plastic part is installed in the opening as a card swiping area; the plastic part is fastened to the sheet metal part by multiple screws, or the plastic part is fastened to the sheet metal part with glue

[0004] However, these existing assembly methods have the following problems: in the multi-screw fastening method, multiple screw fasteners need to be provided, and the greater the number, the greater the impact on the aesthetics of the panel and increase the cost; The split method requires workers to continuously use their hands, which is poor in humanization, and when the sheet metal or plastic parts are deformed, it is easy to cause loosening and damage to the structure
