Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical manufacturing technology, and in particular to a tray assembly and clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A washing machine is a cleaning appliance that uses electrical energy to generate mechanical action to wash clothes. Based on the washing principle, washing machines can be divided into front-loading washing machines and top-loading washing machines. Among them, top-loading washing machines are widely used due to their efficient washing capabilities and economical features. The working principle of a top-loading washing machine is that the rotation of the bottom impeller drives the water flow to form a complex vortex motion, causing the clothes to tumble and rub in the water, thereby removing stains.

[0003] Because the washing tub rotates at high speed during the washing process of a top-loading washing machine, an electromagnetic lock device is usually installed on the drum base to ensure user safety and prevent the lid from accidentally opening during the high-speed rotation of the washing tub. An iron block or magnetic component is installed on the lid at the position corresponding to the electromagnetic lock device. When the washing machine lid is closed, the electromagnetic lock device is energized to generate a magnetic field, which attracts the iron block on the lid or interacts with the magnetic component to firmly hold the lid in place, thus achieving locking.

[0004] However, in traditional pulsator washing machines, the electromagnetic lock device is usually installed on the tray base. The lower surface of the tray base has screw posts, and the electromagnetic lock device is fixed to the screw posts with screws. Since the tray base is usually molded by injection molding, when the lower surface of the tray base has screw posts, shrinkage will occur on the upper surface of the tray base corresponding to the position of the screw posts after injection molding, resulting in pits on the upper surface of the tray base. This leads to a poor appearance of the tray base, and consequently, a poor appearance of the washing machine. Utility Model Content

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application provides a tray assembly 100, including a tray 20, an electromagnetic lock device 30, and a shielding member 40. The shielding member 40 is used to shield the cable connected to the electromagnetic lock device 30. The tray 20 includes a base 21. The shielding member 40 and the electromagnetic lock device 30 are both disposed below the base 21 of the tray 20. The shielding member 40 is connected to the tray, and the electromagnetic lock device 30 is connected to the shielding member 40.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The tray base 20 also includes a side plate 22, which is arranged around the base body 21 and connected to the base body 21.

[0044] For example, the cables connecting the electromagnetic lock device 30 include cables for transmitting signals between the electromagnetic lock device 30 and the control system of the garment handling equipment and / or cables for supplying power to the electromagnetic lock device 30.

[0045] It is understandable that the cable is internally charged. If leakage occurs and the leakage point is close to the upper surface of the tray 20, it will threaten the user's life safety. This application sets up a shielding component 40 to shield the cable, which is equivalent to setting up two components, the shielding component 40 and the tray 20, above the cable for coverage, which can significantly improve the safety of using the garment processing equipment.

[0046] The tray assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment can avoid the phenomenon of pits appearing on the upper surface of the tray 20 by installing the electromagnetic lock device 30 on the shielding member 40 below the tray 20 through injection molding of screw posts 42 on the tray 20. Therefore, it can improve the appearance of the tray 20 and thus enhance the aesthetics of the washing machine.

[0047] For example, the electromagnetic lock device 30 and the blocking member 40 are detachably connected. It is understood that by making the electromagnetic lock device 30 and the blocking member 40 detachably connected, the electromagnetic lock device 30 can be easily disassembled and assembled for maintenance or replacement.

[0048] For example, the electromagnetic lock device 30 is connected to the blocking member 40 by screws.

[0049] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The shielding member 40 includes a baffle 41 and a screw post 42. The screw post 42 is disposed above the baffle 41 and connected to the baffle 41. The screw post 42 is provided with a threaded hole 421.

[0050] Please see Figure 8 The electromagnetic lock device 30 includes a magnetic induction part 31 and a mounting part 32 connected together, and the mounting part 32 is provided with a mounting hole 321.

[0051] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The disk base assembly 100 also includes a screw (not shown) that passes through the mounting hole 321 into the threaded hole 421 and is threaded to the wall of the threaded hole 421.

[0052] Understandably, since the screw post 42 is located above the baffle 41, that is, the electromagnetic lock device 30 is installed between the shield 40 and the base 21 of the disc 20. At this time, the electromagnetic lock device 30 is located close to the lower surface of the base 21 of the disc 20. Since the electromagnetic lock device 30 is close to the base 21 of the disc 20, when the upper cover 50 is in the closed state, the electromagnetic lock device 30 can generate a strong magnetic attraction with the magnetic component on the upper cover 50, thereby locking the upper cover 50.

[0053] Please see Figure 8 The shielding member 40 also includes a support part 60, which is disposed above the baffle 41 and connected to the baffle 41. The support part 60 is used to support the magnetic induction part 31 of the electromagnetic lock device 30.

[0054] For example, the baffle 41, the screw post 42, and the support 60 are an integral structure.

[0055] In some embodiments, the shielding member 40 is formed by injection molding.

[0056] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 The top surface of the support portion 60 is provided with a first protrusion structure 61, a second protrusion structure 62, and a third protrusion structure 63. The first protrusion structure 61 and the second protrusion structure 62 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the magnetic induction portion 31, and the third protrusion structure 63 is disposed on the side of the magnetic induction portion 31 away from the mounting portion 32. The first protrusion structure 61, the second protrusion structure 62, and the third protrusion structure 63 together limit the magnetic induction portion 31.

[0057] Understandably, by using the screw post 42 to fix the mounting part 32, the first protrusion structure 61, the second protrusion structure 62 and the third protrusion structure 63 are set together to limit the magnetic induction part 31, so as to prevent the magnetic induction part 31 from rotating in the horizontal plane.

[0058] Please see Figure 8 The magnetic induction unit 31 includes a body 313, a first side portion 311 and a second side portion 312. The first side portion 311 and the second side portion 312 are respectively disposed on both sides of the body 313 and connected to the body 313. The body 313 is connected to the mounting portion 32.

[0059] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 8 The first protruding structure 61 is disposed on the side of the first side portion 311 opposite to the second side portion 312, the second protruding structure 62 is disposed on the side of the second side portion 312 opposite to the first side portion 311, and the third protruding structure 63 is disposed on the side of the body 313 opposite to the mounting portion 32.

[0060] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 The first protrusion structure 61 includes one or more first limiting ribs 611, and the extending direction of the first limiting ribs 611 is consistent with the extending direction of the body 313.

[0061] Please see Figure 5and Figure 7 The second protrusion structure 62 includes one or more second limiting ribs 621, and the extension direction of the second limiting ribs 621 is consistent with the extension direction of the body 313.

[0062] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 The third protrusion structure 63 includes one or more third limiting ribs 631, and the extension direction of the third limiting ribs 631 is consistent with the direction from the body 313 to the mounting part 32.

[0063] In the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more, such as three, four, five, six, seven, eight, etc.

[0064] Please see Figure 8 The extension direction of the first side portion 311 and the extension direction of the second side portion 312 are parallel to each other, and the extension direction of the body 313 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first side portion 311 and the extension direction of the second side portion 312.

[0065] For example, the mounting portion 32 is rectangular (e.g., square or upright) or strip-shaped.

[0066] For example, the shield 40 is detachably connected to the tray base 20. In some embodiments, the shield 40 and the tray base 20 are connected by screws.

[0067] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The tray base 20 is provided with a dispensing port 211. The tray base assembly 100 also includes an upper cover 50, which is connected to the tray base 20. The upper cover 50 can cover the dispensing port 211 when it is in a closed state. Furthermore, a magnetic element (not shown) is installed on the upper cover 50 at a position corresponding to the electromagnetic lock device 30.

[0068] It should be noted that when the upper cover 50 is closed in place, the electromagnetic lock device 30 is energized to generate a magnetic field, which attracts the magnetic components on the upper cover 50 to interact with each other, tightly holding the upper cover 50 in place and achieving locking.

[0069] For example, the upper cover 50 is rotatably connected to the disc base 20, for instance, the upper cover 50 and the disc base 20 are connected by a hinge assembly.

[0070] For example, the magnetic component may be a magnet or an iron block.

[0071] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The dispensing port 211 is disposed on the base 21 of the tray 20. For example, the dispensing port 211 is used to put in clothing, detergent or fabric softener, etc.

[0072] For example, the base 21 of the disc base 20 is provided with a soft pad or elastic element at the position corresponding to the electromagnetic lock device 30 to protect the electromagnetic lock device 30.

[0073] For example, the material of the cushion can be plant fiber or chemical fiber, etc.

[0074] For example, the material of the elastic element can be a rubber-based material or an elastomeric plastic. The rubber-based material can be natural rubber or synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is derived from the sap of rubber trees and its main component is polyisoprene. Synthetic rubber can be styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), butadiene rubber (BR), ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM), silicone rubber, or fluororubber (FKM), etc. The elastomeric plastic can be a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE / TPR). Thermoplastic elastomers combine the processability of plastics and the elasticity of rubber and can be repeatedly melt-molded. Thermoplastic elastomers can be styrene-based (e.g., SBS, SEBS, etc.), polyolefin-based (e.g., TPO, etc.) or polyurethane-based (e.g., TPU, etc.).

[0075] For example, the electromagnetic lock device 30 may include an electromagnet, which is the core component of the electromagnetic lock device 30. When energized, the electromagnet generates a magnetic field and uses magnetic force to achieve locking and unlocking functions.

[0076] For example, the electromagnetic lock device 30 may include a reed switch, which acts as a magnetic sensor to detect changes in the magnetic field of the magnet on the cover 50, thereby determining the opening and closing state of the cover 50 and transmitting the signal to the control system of the clothing processing equipment.

[0077] For example, the electromagnetic lock device 30 may include a lock base, a lock hook typically mounted on the top cover 50, and a lock base mounted on the washing machine tray 20. When the electromagnetic lock device 30 is energized and engaged, the lock hook and lock base interlock to lock the top cover 50; when the power is off, the lock hook springs open under the action of a spring, thus unlocking the device.

[0078] For example, the electromagnetic lock device 30 may include a spring for providing elastic force to enable the lock hook to quickly reset when unlocking, and to maintain the lock hook separated from the lock seat when the electromagnet is de-energized.

[0079] For example, the electromagnetic lock device 30 may include a circuit board that integrates a control circuit for connecting to the control system of the washing machine, receiving and processing signals from the reed switch, and controlling the on and off of the electromagnet to achieve precise control of the electromagnetic lock device 30.

[0080] For example, the electromagnetic lock device 30 may include a housing for protecting the internal electronic components and mechanical parts, while also serving to fix and support the electromagnetic lock device 30 so that it can be stably installed on the base 20. The housing is generally made of plastic or metal.

[0081] This application embodiment also provides a garment processing device, including the tray assembly 100 as described above.

[0082] For example, the garment processing device further includes a housing disposed below and connected to the tray assembly 100.

[0083] For example, the garment handling device can be a washing machine or a washer-dryer combo, such as a top-loading washing machine or a top-loading washer-dryer combo.

[0084] The tray assembly and garment processing device provided in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application, and the descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand this application. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
