Abstract

This application discloses a clothing processing device. A light-diffusing component is disposed between a light-emitting component and an operation panel. The light-diffusing component includes a first optical layer and a second optical layer for scattering light emitted by LEDs to a light-transmitting area. The first optical layer is disposed corresponding to the operation panel, and its orthographic projection on the operation panel at least covers the light-transmitting area. The second optical layer is disposed corresponding to at least a plurality of LEDs, such that the orthographic projection of the second optical layer on the operation panel at least covers the orthographic projection of the LEDs on the operation panel, i.e., the first area of ​​the light-transmitting area. In this way, by covering the area of ​​the LEDs' orthographic projection with the second optical layer, which has lower light transmittance, the localized strong light formed by the direct illumination of the LEDs can be specifically weakened. At the same time, by covering the entire light-transmitting area with the first optical layer, which has higher light transmittance, the light emitted by the LEDs can be evenly scattered to the edge of the light-transmitting icon, making the overall brightness of the light-transmitting icon more uniform, thereby improving the user experience.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a clothes treatment device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The clothes treatment device such as a washing machine, a dryer or a washer-dryer usually has a display module for showing the running state of the clothes treatment device, for the user to select a program, etc. The display module commonly adopts a backlight transparent display structure, that is, a pure transparent icon is printed on a display window screen, a non-transparent background color is printed on the non-icon area of the display window screen, and a lamp bead is arranged under each transparent icon on a circuit board below the display window screen. By lighting the lamp bead, the light of the lamp bead transmits through the transparent area, so that the corresponding icon is displayed.

[0003] However, when the internal structure of the clothes treatment device is complex, for example, due to the diversification of functions, corresponding components are added inside the device, occupying too much space, etc., so that the space left for the display module in the height direction becomes limited, thereby the distance between the lamp bead and the transparent icon of the display window screen is close, and since the length of the display icon is relatively long, when one lamp bead is arranged under each icon, the icon will appear bright in the middle and dark at both ends after the lamp bead is lit, resulting in uneven overall brightness of the icon, which affects the user experience. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The embodiment of the present application discloses a clothes treatment device, which can make the icons of the display module of the clothes treatment device have uniform brightness when lit, thereby improving the user experience.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the embodiment of the present application discloses a clothes treatment device, comprising:

[0006] a box body;

[0007] a support connected to the box body;

[0008] an operation panel connected to the support, a first containing space being formed between the operation panel and the support, the operation panel having a plurality of light transmission areas configured to set light transmission icons;

[0009] a display module arranged in the first containing space, the display module comprising:

[0010] a mounting structure having a plurality of light emitting cavities arranged thereon;

[0011] a light emitting assembly comprising:

[0012] a circuit board arranged in the mounting structure;

[0013] a plurality of lamp beads disposed on the circuit board and electrically connected with the circuit board, and the lamp beads are respectively located in the corresponding light-emitting cavities, and the lamp beads are respectively disposed corresponding to the light-transmitting areas to illuminate the light-transmitting areas and the light-transmitting icons;

[0014] a light-uniformizing assembly disposed in the first accommodating space and located at the light-emitting side of the light-emitting assembly, the light-uniformizing assembly comprising:

[0015] a first optical layer disposed corresponding to the operation panel, the first optical layer having a projection on the operation panel covering at least the light-transmitting areas, and the first optical layer is used to diffuse the light emitted by the lamp beads to the light-transmitting areas;

[0016] a second optical layer disposed corresponding to at least a plurality of the lamp beads, so that the projection of the second optical layer on the operation panel covers at least the projection of the lamp beads on the operation panel, the second optical layer is used to scatter the light emitted by the lamp beads to the light-transmitting areas, the projection of the lamp beads on the light-transmitting areas corresponds to a first area of the light-transmitting areas, other areas of the light-transmitting areas except the first area are configured as a second area, and the projection of the second optical layer on the light-transmitting areas covers the first area;

[0017] wherein the light transmittance of the second optical layer is less than the light transmittance of the first optical layer.

[0018] Generally, one lamp bead is arranged in one light-emitting cavity to correspond to the light-transmitting area. When the lamp bead is lighted, the light rays emitted by the lamp bead radiate in all directions, and the brightness decreases significantly with the increase of distance. Since the single lamp bead is located in the light-emitting cavity, when the light rays propagate to the light-transmitting area provided with the light-transmitting icon (especially the light-transmitting area with a certain length), the light rays received by the area (approximately the central area) corresponding to the lamp bead are the strongest and the brightness is the highest. The edge area of the light-transmitting area is farther away from the lamp bead, and the brightness decreases, thereby causing the whole light-transmitting area to form a condition of bright in the middle and dark at both sides. This condition is more obvious when the light-transmitting area is long (for example, the square light-transmitting area, the elliptical light-transmitting area or the waist-round light-transmitting area). Based on this, the first optical layer and the second optical layer capable of scattering the light rays emitted by the lamp bead to the light-transmitting area are arranged, and the light transmittance of the second optical layer is lower than that of the first optical layer, and the orthographic projection of the second optical layer on the operation panel covers the orthographic projection of the lamp bead on the operation panel (i.e., the first area of the light-transmitting area, approximately corresponding to the central area of the light-transmitting area). Since the light transmittance of the second optical layer is relatively low, the local strong light formed by the direct light of the lamp bead can be weakened, and the brightness of the central area of the light-transmitting area can be reduced. The orthographic projection of the first optical layer on the operation panel covers at least the light-transmitting area. Since the light transmittance of the first optical layer is higher than that of the second optical layer, and the first optical layer can scatter the light rays emitted by the lamp bead to the light-transmitting area, the light rays emitted by the lamp bead can be uniformly scattered to the edge of the light-transmitting icon through the first optical layer, so as to compensate the brightness of the edge of the light-transmitting icon. The light-uniformizing assembly composed of the first optical layer and the second optical layer can reduce the brightness of the middle of the whole light-transmitting icon when the lamp bead is lighted, so as to make the overall brightness more uniform, thereby improving the user experience.

[0019] In addition, the orthographic projection of the second optical layer on the light-transmitting area covers the first area, so as to ensure that the second optical layer only shields the high-brightness area directly irradiated by the lamp bead, without shielding the second area, thereby ensuring the shielding accuracy of the second optical layer, so that the overall brightness of the whole light-transmitting area and the light-transmitting icon is more uniform when they are lighted.

[0020] As an optional embodiment, the second optical layer is provided with a hollow part, and the hollow part is arranged to correspond to the second area.

[0021] When the second optical layer is a film layer, since the second optical layer only needs to cover the part corresponding to the lamp bead, the part on the second optical layer not corresponding to the lamp bead is provided with a hollow part, so as to reduce the amount of material required by the film layer, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0022] As an optional implementation, the transmittance of the first optical layer is 6.6% to 7.7%, and the transmittance of the second optical layer is 1.0% to 2.0%. Along the thickness direction of the operation panel, the distance between the lamp bead and the operation panel is negatively correlated with the transmittance of both the first and second optical layers.

[0023] The first and second optical layers have a transmittance difference of approximately 5 to 6 times. This ensures that the second optical layer can effectively reduce the strong light directly emitted by the LED beads, preventing the center of the illuminated icon from being too bright. Meanwhile, the relatively high transmittance of the first optical layer prevents excessive blocking of light at the edges, thus balancing the brightness difference across the entire light-transmitting area.

[0024] As an optional implementation, the thickness of both the first optical layer and the second optical layer is 100μm to 300μm.

[0025] When the thickness of the first and second optical layers exceeds 300 μm, the propagation path of light within the layers is prolonged, resulting in excessive light loss. This is especially true for the second optical layer, which already has low light transmittance; excessive thickness further weakens light intensity and may lead to insufficient overall brightness in the light-transmitting area. When the thickness of the first and second optical layers is less than 100 μm, the tensile and abrasion resistance of the first optical layer is reduced. During assembly, improper handling can easily cause wrinkles or tears, or deformation due to vibration during the operation of the garment processing device, leading to failure of the optical layer at the corresponding position in the light-transmitting area and resulting in localized brightness abnormalities.

[0026] As an optional implementation, the first optical layer is located between the second optical layer and the operation panel along the light emission direction of the lamp bead.

[0027] By positioning the first optical layer closer to the control panel than the second optical layer, the light emitted by the LEDs first passes through the second optical layer, specifically weakening the light in the first area and initially reducing the brightness difference between the center and edges of the light-transmitting area. Then, the light, after initial light equalization, passes through the first optical layer again for secondary light equalization of the entire light-transmitting area. This allows the light corresponding to the second area after being equalized by the first optical layer to be directly transmitted to the light-transmitting area, reducing secondary obstruction of light at the edges of the light-transmitting area by the second optical layer. This ensures that the second area receives sufficient light, resulting in more uniform brightness when the equalized light illuminates the light-transmitting icon.

[0028] As an optional implementation method,

[0029] The first optical layer is a film layer;

[0030] The second optical layer is a film or coating.

[0031] When both the first and second optical layers are film layers, they can be pre-formed and quickly installed into the display module, improving the production efficiency of the garment processing device. When the second optical layer is a coating, it can be directly sprayed onto the designated location without additional bonding processes, saving materials.

[0032] As an optional implementation, the mounting structure includes:

[0033] A first plate, wherein the light-emitting cavity is provided on the first plate;

[0034] The second plate is disposed opposite to the first plate along the thickness direction of the operation panel, and the circuit board is disposed between the first plate and the second plate.

[0035] The first plate includes:

[0036] First surface;

[0037] The second surface is disposed opposite to the first surface along the thickness direction of the operation panel. The light-emitting cavity has a first opening on the first surface and a second opening on the second surface. The opening size of the second opening is larger than the opening size of the first opening. The light-diffusing component is disposed on the second surface, and the second opening is disposed corresponding to the light-transmitting area.

[0038] By placing the circuit board between the first and second boards, it can be protected, reducing the impact of dust and moisture on the board, thereby improving the stability and lifespan of the entire display module. Simultaneously, this structure provides a stable mounting base for the LED chips, allowing them to be positioned more accurately within the light-emitting cavity, ensuring the correspondence between the LED chips and the light-transmitting area, thus enabling the LED chips to better illuminate the light-transmitting area and the light-transmitting icons.

[0039] Secondly, the opening size of the second opening on the second surface of the light-emitting cavity on the first plate is larger than the opening size of the first opening on the first surface, and the second opening is positioned corresponding to the light-transmitting area. This flared arrangement of the light-emitting cavity along the light-emitting direction of the LED bead serves two purposes: firstly, it guides the light emitted by the LED bead in a directional manner, allowing the light to illuminate the light-transmitting area more precisely; secondly, the diffused light emitted by the LED bead is reflected by the cavity wall and converges towards the second opening, thereby reducing light loss due to escape into the non-light-transmitting area.

[0040] Furthermore, by placing the light-diffusing component on the second surface and having the second opening located on the second surface, light emitted from the second opening can directly enter the light-diffusing component for light homogenization. In this case, the light diffusion angle is small and the range is concentrated. The light-diffusing component only needs to process the light within a small area to effectively cover all effective light rays, thereby reducing the area of ​​the light-diffusing component.

[0041] As an optional implementation, the light-emitting cavity has a cavity wall, the outer edge of the orthographic projection of the cavity wall on the operation panel is located on the outer periphery of the light-transmitting area, and the distance from the outer edge of the orthographic projection of the cavity wall on the operation panel to the outer edge of the light-transmitting area is L, satisfying: L≥10μm.

[0042] The outer edge of the orthographic projection of the cavity wall of the light-emitting cavity onto the operation panel is located on the outer periphery of the light-transmitting area. This allows the effective area covered by the light emitted by the LED on the operation panel to be larger than the light-transmitting area, thus illuminating the entire light-transmitting area.

[0043] As an optional implementation method,

[0044] The first plate includes:

[0045] The main body plate is provided with the light-emitting cavity;

[0046] A first connecting portion is connected to the main body plate and extends in the direction toward the bracket, and a first locking portion is provided on the outer edge of the first connecting portion;

[0047] The second plate includes:

[0048] The circuit board is disposed on the support part and attached to the main body plate so that the lamp bead extends into the light-emitting cavity;

[0049] The second connecting part is connected to the bearing part and extends in the direction toward the operation panel. The outer edge of the second connecting part is provided with a second locking part, which is configured to engage with the first locking part so that the second plate body is connected to the first plate body.

[0050] The first connecting portion extends towards the bracket, and the second connecting portion extends towards the operation panel. The first and second connecting portions extend in opposite directions and correspond to each other, forming an opposing interlocking structure. This allows the first and second plates to partially overlap in the thickness direction of the operation panel, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the mounting structure. Simultaneously, the circuit board is attached to the main body of the first plate and confined between the first and second plates, further reducing the overall thickness of the display module.

[0051] As an optional implementation, the operation panel has a third locking part on the surface adjacent to the bracket, and the bracket has a fourth locking part corresponding to the third locking part. The third locking part is configured to engage with the fourth locking part so that the operation panel is connected to the bracket.

[0052] The control panel is fixed by the interlocking connection of the third and fourth locking parts. The interlocking connection has good detachability. When it is necessary to repair or replace internal display modules, circuits and other components, the control panel can be easily removed, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty of the entire garment processing device.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0054] The garment processing apparatus provided in this application includes a display module housed in a first accommodating space formed between an operation panel and a support. The display module comprises a mounting structure, a light-emitting component, and a light-diffusing component. Multiple LEDs are mounted on a circuit board within the mounting structure, each LED located in a corresponding light-emitting cavity on the mounting structure. The LEDs are positioned corresponding to light-transmitting areas on the operation panel to illuminate these areas and the light-transmitting icons within them. The light-diffusing component, located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting component, includes a first optical layer and a second optical layer for scattering the light emitted by the LEDs into the light-transmitting areas. The first optical layer is positioned corresponding to the operation panel, and its orthographic projection on the operation panel at least covers the light-transmitting areas. The second optical layer is positioned corresponding to at least a plurality of LEDs, such that its orthographic projection on the operation panel covers the orthographic projection of the LEDs on the operation panel. The orthographic projection of the LEDs on the light-transmitting areas corresponds to a first region of the light-transmitting areas. Regions other than the first region of the light-transmitting areas are constructed as a second region, and the orthographic projection of the second optical layer on the light-transmitting areas covers the first region. The transmittance of the second optical layer is less than that of the first optical layer. This design allows the area projected onto the LED chip (the first area of ​​the light-transmitting zone) to be covered by a second optical layer with lower light transmittance, effectively reducing localized glare from direct LED light. Simultaneously, the entire light-transmitting zone is covered by a first optical layer with higher light transmittance. This first layer diffuses the light emitted by the LED chip across the entire light-transmitting zone, and its higher transmittance reduces excessive obstruction of scattered light at the edges, ensuring sufficient brightness at the edges. The light-diffusing component composed of the first and second optical layers ensures uniform brightness across the entire light-transmitting icon when the LED chip is lit, thereby improving the user experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0076] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0077] In this application, the terms "upper," "left," "right," "front," "rear," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0078] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0079] Furthermore, the terms "set up," "equipped with," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0080] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0081] Clothing handling devices, such as washing machines, dryers, or washer-dryer combos, are usually equipped with a display module that can show parameters such as the current working stage of the clothing handling device, remaining working time, washing mode, water temperature, water level, and spin speed in real time, allowing users to select programs and understand the operation progress of the clothing handling device.

[0082] The most common display module uses a backlit transparent structure, which means that transparent icons are printed on the display window, and non-icon areas of the display window are printed with non-transparent backgrounds. On the circuit board below the display window, LEDs are placed under each transparent icon. By lighting up the LEDs, the light from the LEDs passes through the transparent areas, thus making the corresponding icons light up and display.

[0083] However, when the internal structure of the garment processing device is complex, for example, due to diversified functions leading to the addition of corresponding components that occupy too much space, the space left for the display module in the height direction becomes limited. This results in the distance between the LED beads and the light-transmitting icons on the display window being too close. At the same time, because the display icons are long, when an LED bead is placed under each icon, the center of the icon will be bright while the ends will be dark, resulting in uneven overall brightness of the icon and affecting the user experience.

[0084] Based on this, this application discloses a clothing processing device. A light-diffusing component is disposed between a light-emitting component and an operation panel. The light-diffusing component includes a first optical layer and a second optical layer for scattering light emitted by LEDs into a light-transmitting area. The first optical layer is disposed corresponding to the operation panel, and its orthographic projection on the operation panel at least covers the light-transmitting area. The second optical layer is disposed corresponding to at least a plurality of LEDs, such that the orthographic projection of the second optical layer on the operation panel covers the orthographic projection of the LEDs on the operation panel, i.e., covers a first area of ​​the light-transmitting area. The transmittance of the second optical layer is lower than that of the first optical layer. This allows the area of ​​the LED's orthographic projection to be covered by the lower-transmittance second optical layer, specifically reducing the localized strong light generated by direct LED illumination. Simultaneously, the higher-transmittance first optical layer covers the entire light-transmitting area, and the first optical layer scatters the light emitted by the LEDs into the light-transmitting area. This allows the light emitted by the LEDs to be evenly scattered to the edge of the light-transmitting icon, compensating for the brightness at the edge of the light-transmitting icon. The light-diffusing component, consisting of the first and second optical layers, can make the overall brightness of the translucent icon more uniform when the LED is lit, thereby improving the user experience.

[0085] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0086] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the clothing processing device provided in an embodiment of this application. This application discloses a clothing processing device 100, which can be a washing machine, such as a top-loading washing machine or a front-loading washing machine. Alternatively, it can be a dryer, or a washer-dryer combo, etc. The specific form is not limited in this application embodiment.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing device 100 may include a housing 1, which forms the appearance of the garment processing device 100 and has a receiving space inside the housing 1 for accommodating and fixing various components in the garment processing device 100 to ensure the structural stability of the garment processing device 100.

[0088] The height direction Z of the clothing processing device 100 is from the bottom to the top of the housing 1, which is the vertical direction. The clothing processing device 100 also has a width direction X and a depth direction Y. The width direction X of the clothing processing device 100 is from one end to the other. The front side of the clothing processing device 100 is the side facing the user. The depth direction Y of the clothing processing device 100 is from the front to the rear. Among the width direction X, depth direction Y, and height direction Z of the clothing processing device 100, at least two pairs are perpendicular or approximately perpendicular.

[0089] In some embodiments, the garment processing device 100 may include a bracket 2, which is disposed on the front side of the top of the housing 1. One end of the bracket 2 can be fixedly connected to the housing 1 by means of screws, clips or welding, and the other end is used to install the operation panel 3 to ensure that the operation panel 3 will not loosen or shift during the operation of the garment processing device 100.

[0090] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 5 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the clothing processing device (excluding the housing) provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A magnified view of a portion of point A in the middle. Figure 4 for Figure 2 Sectional view at point BB. Figure 5 This is an exploded view of the clothing handling device (excluding the housing) provided in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the bracket 2 is at least partially embedded in the front of the top surface of the housing 1, and the interior of the bracket 2 forms a receiving space for placing the display module 4. The operation panel 3 is connected to the top of the bracket 2, thereby covering the receiving space. In this case, the operation panel 3 can be approximately on the same surface as the top surface of the housing 1. Alternatively, the front end of the operation panel 3 along the depth direction Y is tilted downward relative to the rear end to facilitate user operation.

[0091] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 may include an operation panel 3 for user-instructed operation, thereby enabling the garment handling device 100 to perform various predetermined functions according to the instructions. The operation panel 3 is connected to the bracket 2, forming a first receiving space 21 between the operation panel 3 and the bracket 2. The operation panel 3 has a plurality of light-transmitting areas 31, which are configured to display light-transmitting icons 311.

[0092] It is understood that the aforementioned light-transmitting area 31 refers to a specific area of ​​the operation panel 3 that allows light to pass through. For example, it can be achieved by setting a hollow area on the operation panel 3 and setting a light-transmitting element in the hollow area. Alternatively, the entire operation panel 3 can be a light-transmitting element, and a light-blocking coating can be applied to the areas other than the light-transmitting area 31 so that the operation panel 3 only transmits light in the light-transmitting area 31. The light-transmitting area 31 can be, for example, a square area or a circular area. Taking a rectangular light-transmitting area 31 as an example, the length direction of the light-transmitting area 31 extends along the width direction X of the housing 1, and the width direction X of the light-transmitting area 31 extends along the depth direction Y of the housing 1.

[0093] Understandably, the translucent icon 311 set within the translucent area 31 may be inconspicuous when the light source is not illuminated, as it blends into the background color of the control panel 3. However, when the light source is illuminated, the translucent icon 311 will be clearly visible due to the light. This translucent icon 311 can be printed text on the control panel 3, such as washing programs like "Standard Wash," "Quick Wash," "Large Item Wash," "Wool Wash," "Synthetic Fiber Wash," "Gentle Wash," etc., or water temperature information like "30℃," "40℃," "50℃," "60℃," etc., allowing the user to know the parameters corresponding to the currently selected mode and make different choices. Part of the translucent icon 311 on the control panel 3 is set to be translucent, while the rest is set to be opaque, so that the corresponding text icon is visible when the light source is illuminated. Of course, the translucent icon 311 can also be a pattern formed on the translucent area 31 by methods such as printing or etching.

[0094] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 includes a button module for allowing a user to select different modes. The button module may include, for example, physical buttons or virtual buttons.

[0095] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 100 includes a display module 4, which displays the current status, rotation speed, remaining washing time, etc. of the garment handling device 100. The display module 4 is disposed in the first receiving space 21.

[0096] In some embodiments, the display module 4 includes a mounting structure 41 on which a plurality of light-emitting cavities 4111 are disposed.

[0097] In some embodiments, the display module 4 includes a light-emitting component 42, which includes a circuit board 421 and a plurality of LED beads 422. The circuit board 421 is disposed on the mounting structure 41, and the plurality of LED beads 422 are disposed on the circuit board 421 and electrically connected to the circuit board 421. The LED beads 422 are respectively located in corresponding light-emitting cavities 4111, and are respectively disposed corresponding to the light-transmitting area 31 to illuminate the light-transmitting area 31 and the light-transmitting icon 311.

[0098] By providing a light-emitting cavity 4111 on the mounting structure 41 to hold the LED beads 422, the light-emitting cavity 4111 creates a first layer of constraint on the LED beads 422, ensuring that the mounting position of each LED bead 422 is fixed. Simultaneously, after the LED beads 422 are placed on the circuit board 421, each LED bead 422 corresponds to a light-transmitting area 31 on the operation panel 3, thus creating a second layer of constraint on the LED beads 422, ensuring a one-to-one correspondence between the LED beads 422 and the light-transmitting icons 311. This prevents the LED beads 422 from affecting the display effect of the light-transmitting icons 311 due to positional misalignment, thereby improving the user experience.

[0099] Furthermore, the mounting structure 41 serves as a carrier, integrating the core components of the light-emitting components 42, such as the circuit board 421 and the LED beads 422, into the mounting structure 41 to form an independent display module 4. This allows the display module 4 to be pre-assembled and tested before leaving the factory, and then installed as a whole into the first accommodating space 21, thereby simplifying the overall assembly process of the clothing processing device 100 and reducing the complexity and error rate of the overall assembly of the clothing processing device 100.

[0100] Understandably, when multiple LED beads 422 are lit simultaneously, the light emitted by the LED beads 422 will interfere with each other. By placing the LED beads 422 separately within the light-emitting cavity 4111 of the mounting structure 41, the cavity wall 4111c of the light-emitting cavity 4111 can block the scattered light from the LED beads 422, preventing interference between adjacent LED beads 422. Furthermore, the LED beads 422 are confined within the light-emitting cavity 4111, making the light emission direction of the LED beads 422 more concentrated in the corresponding light-transmitting area 31, reducing light waste and improving the brightness and clarity of the light emitted by the light-transmitting icon 311.

[0101] It is understandable that, in order to avoid mutual interference between the light of adjacent LED beads 422, the mounting structure 41 can be made of a light-shielding material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. The specific material can be selected according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not make a specific limitation on it.

[0102] It is understood that the circuit board 421 mentioned above can be a printed circuit board 421 or a ceramic circuit board 421, etc., and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on it.

[0103] It is understood that the aforementioned lamp bead 422 can be an LED lamp bead 422 or a miniature incandescent lamp bead 422, etc., and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on it.

[0104] Typically, one LED 422 is placed within a light-emitting cavity 4111 to correspond to the light-transmitting area 31. When the LED 422 is lit, since it is a point light source, its light propagates radially in all directions, and its brightness decreases significantly with increasing distance. Because each LED 422 is located within the light-emitting cavity 4111, when the light emitted by it reaches the light-transmitting area 31 (especially a light-transmitting area 31 of a certain length) with the light-transmitting indicator 311, the area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31 corresponding to the LED 422 (roughly the central area) is closest to the LED 422 and receives the strongest light energy, resulting in the highest brightness. The edges of the light-transmitting area 31 are farther from the LED 422, resulting in lower brightness and a situation where the center of the light-transmitting area 31 is bright and the sides are dark. This uneven brightness is even more pronounced when the light-transmitting area 31 is elongated (e.g., a square, elliptical, or oval light-transmitting area).

[0105] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 4 and Figure 5 The display module 4 also includes a light-diffusing component 43, which is disposed in the first accommodating space 21 and located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting component 42. The light-diffusing component 43 can block part of the light emitted by the light-emitting component 42, so that the overall display brightness of the light-transmitting area 31 is more uniform.

[0106] In some embodiments, the light-diffusing component 43 includes a first optical layer 431 and a second optical layer 432. The first optical layer 431 is disposed corresponding to the operation panel 3, and its orthographic projection on the operation panel 3 at least covers the light-transmitting area 31. The first optical layer 431 is used to scatter the light emitted by the LED beads 422 into the light-transmitting area 31. The second optical layer 432 is disposed corresponding to at least a plurality of LED beads 422, such that its orthographic projection on the operation panel 3 at least covers the orthographic projection of the LED beads 422 on the operation panel 3. The second optical layer 432 is used to scatter the light emitted by the LED beads 422 into the light-transmitting area 31. The transmittance of the second optical layer 432 is less than that of the first optical layer 431.

[0107] By setting a first optical layer 431 and a second optical layer 432, with the second optical layer 432 having a lower transmittance than the first optical layer 431, and the orthographic projection of the second optical layer 432 on the operation panel 3 (which roughly corresponds to the central area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31) covering the orthographic projection of the LED bead 422 on the operation panel 3, the localized strong light generated by the direct illumination of the LED bead 422 can be specifically weakened, reducing the brightness of the center of the light-transmitting icon 311. Furthermore, the first optical layer 431 has a relatively high transmittance, and its orthographic projection on the operation panel 3 at least covers the light-transmitting area 31. The first optical layer 431 also allows the light emitted by the LED bead 422 to be scattered into the light-transmitting area 31, thus enabling the light emitted by the LED bead 422 to be evenly scattered to the edge of the light-transmitting icon 311, compensating for the brightness at the edge of the light-transmitting icon 311. The light-diffusing component 43, consisting of the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432, can reduce the brightness of the center of the entire light-transmitting icon 311 when the lamp bead 422 is lit, thereby making the overall brightness more uniform and improving the user experience.

[0108] It is understandable that the specific positions and quantities of the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 are set according to the specific positions of the light-transmitting icons 311 on the operation panel 3. For example, they can be set as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the light-transmitting icons 311 are respectively set at both ends of the operation panel 3, and the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 are respectively set at both ends of the operation panel 3.

[0109] Specifically, please refer to Figures 5 to 8 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the light-transmitting area provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the clothing handling device (excluding the housing and control panel) provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 8 for Figure 7 A magnified view of a portion at point C. The orthographic projection of the LED bead 422 onto the light-transmitting area 31 corresponds to the first region 312 of the light-transmitting area 31. The other regions of the light-transmitting area 31 besides the first region 312 are constructed as the second region 313. The orthographic projection of the second optical layer 432 onto the light-transmitting area 31 covers the first region 312. The second region 313 is a rectangular region extending along the depth direction Y of the housing 1, and has a certain length along the width direction X of the housing 1, which is less than the length of the light-transmitting area 31. Therefore, the first region 312 is formed by the two parts of the second region 313 on either side of the second region 313 along the width direction X of the housing 1.

[0110] It is understandable that the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 can both be film structures, or the first optical layer 431 can be a film structure and the second optical layer 432 can be an ink layer.

[0111] Taking the example where both the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 are scattering films, the first optical layer 431 can be a single scattering film that can cover all the light-transmitting areas 31 on the operation panel 3. Its specific shape can be, for example, rectangular or pentagonal, depending on the shape of the actual placement space. This embodiment does not impose a specific limitation on this. The second optical layer 432 is provided with a cutout portion 4321, which corresponds to the second region 313. Adjacent cutout portions 4321 form a shielding first region 312, so that the first region 312 can be shielded by the portion of the second optical layer 432 without the cutout portion 4321. It is understandable that the LED bead 422 is usually round. In order to block the direct light from the LED bead 422, a circular blocking area should be formed on the second optical layer 432. However, since multiple circular blocking areas need to be connected, the cutout portion 4321 can be cut into a long strip along the depth direction Y for easy processing. This makes the first region 312 also constructed into a long strip, so that it can block the direct light from multiple LED beads 422 at the same time.

[0112] Taking the first optical layer 431 as a scattering film and the second optical layer 432 as scattering ink as an example, the first optical layer 431 can be a whole scattering film that can cover all the light-transmitting areas 31 on the operation panel 3. The second optical layer 432 can be coated with circular or strip-shaped scattering ink, for example, on the first optical layer 431. When applying strip-shaped scattering ink, the length direction of the scattering ink extends along the depth direction Y of the housing 1.

[0113] It is understood that the aforementioned scattering film can be a film layer containing tiny particles (e.g., polymethyl methacrylate microspheres, polystyrene microspheres, etc.) on its surface or inside. The transmittance of the scattering film can be changed by adjusting the particle density, thereby forming the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432, respectively. The aforementioned scattering film can also be a matte PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film, using PET as a substrate and forming a rough surface through surface atomization treatment (e.g., sandblasting, chemical etching, etc.). The transmittance of the scattering film can be changed by adjusting its haze, thereby forming the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432, respectively.

[0114] In some embodiments, the transmittance of the first optical layer 431 is 6.6% to 7.7%, and the transmittance of the second optical layer 432 is 1.0% to 2.0%. Along the thickness direction of the operation panel 3, the distance between the lamp bead 422 and the operation panel 3 is negatively correlated with the transmittance of both the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432.

[0115] The first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 have a transmittance difference of approximately 5 to 6 times. This ensures that the second optical layer 432 can effectively reduce the strong light directly emitted by the lamp bead 422, preventing the center of the light-transmitting icon 311 from being too bright when illuminated. Meanwhile, the relatively high transmittance of the first optical layer 431 can prevent excessive blocking of light at the edges, thereby balancing the brightness difference of the entire light-transmitting area 31.

[0116] Understandably, when the transmittance of the first optical layer 431 is below 6.6%, the transmittance is too low, resulting in excessively dark edges in the light-transmitting area 31 and consequently reducing the overall brightness uniformity of the light-transmitting area. Conversely, when the transmittance of the first optical layer 431 is above 7.7%, the edge brightness of the light-transmitting area 31 may be reduced too little compared to the central area, also reducing the overall brightness uniformity of the light-transmitting area. When the transmittance of the second optical layer 432 is below 1.0%, its transmittance is too low, causing excessive reduction in brightness in the central area of ​​the light-transmitting area 31, making the light-transmitting icon 311 appear dim when illuminated. When the transmittance of the second optical layer 432 is above 2.0%, its transmittance is too high, preventing effective blocking of direct light from the LED beads, and still resulting in uneven brightness in the light-transmitting area.

[0117] It is understandable that the transmittance of the first optical layer 431 can be 6.6% to 6.9%, 6.9% to 7.3%, 6.8% to 7.4%, or 6.7% to 7.7%, etc. For example, it can be 6.6%, 6.9%, 7.0%, 7.4%, or 7.7%.

[0118] It is understandable that the transmittance of the first optical layer 431 can be 1.0% to 1.3%, 1.0% to 1.7%, 1.2% to 1.5%, or 1.4% to 2.0%, for example, it can be 1.0%, 1.1%, 1.3%, 1.6%, or 2.0%.

[0119] In some embodiments, the thickness of both the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 is 100μm to 300μm.

[0120] It is understandable that the thickness of the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 can be the same. The thickness of both the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 can be 100μm–150μm or 120μm.

[0121] The thicknesses of the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 can also be different. For example, the thicknesses of the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 can be 100μm-150μm and 120μm-150μm, 190μm-200μm and 220μm-260μm, or 190μm-260μm and 110μm-240μm, respectively. For example, the thicknesses can be 140μm and 130μm, 190μm and 250μm, or 200μm and 170μm, respectively.

[0122] Understandably, when the thickness of the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 exceeds 300 μm, it will prolong the propagation path of light within the layers, resulting in excessive light loss. Especially for the second optical layer 432, which already has low light transmittance, excessive thickness will further weaken the light intensity, potentially leading to insufficient overall brightness in the light-transmitting area 31. When the thickness of the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 is less than 100 μm, it will reduce the tensile and abrasion resistance of the first optical layer 431. During assembly, it is prone to wrinkles and tears due to improper handling, or deformation due to vibration during the operation of the garment processing device 100, causing the optical layer at the corresponding position in the light-transmitting area 31 to fail, resulting in localized brightness abnormalities.

[0123] Optionally, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The first optical layer 431 is located between the second optical layer 432 and the operation panel 3 along the light emission direction of the lamp bead 422.

[0124] By positioning the first optical layer 431 closer to the operation panel 3 than the second optical layer 432, the light emitted by the LED bead 422 first passes through the second optical layer 432, specifically weakening the light in the first area 312 and initially reducing the brightness difference between the center and edge of the light-transmitting area 31. Then, the light, after initial light homogenization, passes through the first optical layer 431 again to homogenize the entire light-transmitting area 31. This allows the light corresponding to the second area 313, after being homogenized by the first optical layer 431, to be directly transmitted to the light-transmitting area 31, reducing the secondary obstruction of light at the edge of the light-transmitting area 31 by the second optical layer 432. This ensures that the second area 313 receives sufficient light, resulting in more uniform brightness when the homogenized light illuminates the light-transmitting icon 311.

[0125] Understandably, the first optical layer 431 can be bonded to the operation panel 3, and the second optical layer 432 can be bonded to the first optical layer 431, for example, using double-sided tape or UV-curable adhesive. Alternatively, a slot can be provided on the operation panel 3 to directly embed the first optical layer 431 and the second optical layer 432 into the slot.

[0126] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first plate provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 for Figure 9 A cross-sectional view at point DD. In some embodiments, the mounting structure 41 includes a first plate 411 and a second plate 412, with a light-emitting cavity 4111 on the first plate 411. The second plate 412 is disposed opposite to the first plate 411 along the thickness direction of the operation panel 3, and a circuit board 421 is disposed between the first plate 411 and the second plate 412. The first plate 411 includes a first surface 4114 and a second surface 4115, with the second surface 4115 disposed opposite to the first surface 4114 along the thickness direction of the operation panel 3. The light-emitting cavity 4111 has a first opening 4111a on the first surface 4114 and a second opening 4111b on the second surface 4115, the opening size of the second opening 4111b being larger than the opening size of the first opening 4111a. A light-diffusing component 43 is disposed on the second surface 4115, and the second opening 4111b is disposed corresponding to the light-transmitting area 31.

[0127] By placing the circuit board 421 between the first board 411 and the second board 412, the circuit board 421 can be protected, reducing the impact of dust, moisture, etc., on the circuit board 421, thereby improving the stability and service life of the entire display module 4. At the same time, this structure provides a stable mounting base for the LED beads 422, allowing the LED beads 422 to be more accurately positioned in the light-emitting cavity 4111, ensuring the correspondence between the LED beads 422 and the light-transmitting area 31, so that the LED beads 422 can better illuminate the light-transmitting area 31 and the light-transmitting icon 311.

[0128] Secondly, the opening size of the second opening 4111b on the second surface 4115 of the first plate 4111 is larger than the opening size of the first opening 4111a on the first surface 4114, and the second opening 4111b is positioned corresponding to the light-transmitting area 31. This flared arrangement of the light-emitting cavity 4111 along the light-emitting direction of the lamp bead 422 serves two purposes: firstly, it guides the light emitted by the lamp bead 422 in a directional manner, allowing the light to illuminate the light-transmitting area 31 more precisely; secondly, the diffused light emitted by the lamp bead 422 is reflected by the cavity wall 4111c of the light-emitting cavity 4111 and converges towards the second opening 4111b, thereby reducing light loss due to escape into the non-light-transmitting area 31.

[0129] Furthermore, by having the light-diffusing component 43 disposed on the second surface 4115, and the second opening 4111b located on the second surface 4115, light emitted from the second opening 4111b can directly enter the light-diffusing component 43 for light-diffusing processing. In this case, the light diffusion angle is small and the range is concentrated. The light-diffusing component 43 only needs to process the light in a small area to effectively cover all effective light rays, thereby reducing the area of ​​the light-diffusing component 43.

[0130] It is understandable that the second opening 4111b is set to correspond to the light-transmitting area 31. Therefore, the shape of the second opening 4111b needs to be adapted to the light-transmitting area 31. When the light-transmitting area 31 is rectangular, the second opening 4111b is also made into a rectangle. However, the opening size of the second opening 4111b should be slightly larger than the light-transmitting area 31 so that the light emitted from the second opening 4111b can cover the entire light-transmitting area 31.

[0131] It is understandable that the first opening 4111a serves as the opening of the light-emitting cavity 4111 on the first surface 4114 of the first plate 411 (near the LED bead 422 side). Its shape needs to be adapted to the shape of the LED bead 422. For example, when the LED bead 422 is an LED bead 422, its light-emitting surface is circular, so the first opening 4111a should be designed to be circular.

[0132] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the cavity wall and the light-transmitting area of ​​the light-emitting cavity provided in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the light-emitting cavity 4111 has a cavity wall 4111c, the outer edge of the orthographic projection of the cavity wall 4111c on the operation panel 3 being located on the outer periphery of the light-transmitting area 31. The distance from the outer edge of the orthographic projection of the cavity wall 4111c on the operation panel 3 to the outer edge of the light-transmitting area 31 is L, satisfying: L≥10μm.

[0133] The outer edge of the orthographic projection of the cavity wall 4111c of the light-emitting cavity 4111 onto the operation panel 3 is located on the outer periphery of the light-transmitting area 31. This allows the effective area covered by the light emitted by the lamp bead 422 on the operation panel 3 to be larger than the light-transmitting area 31, thereby ensuring that the entire light-transmitting area 31 can be illuminated by the light emitted by the lamp bead 422.

[0134] It is understandable that the distance L from the outer edge of the orthographic projection of the cavity wall 4111c on the operation panel 3 to the outer edge of the light-transmitting area 31 can be 30μm≥L≥10μm, 50μm≥L≥20μm, 70μm≥L≥50μm or 70μm≥L≥10μm, for example, it can be 10μm, 20μm, 50μm or 60μm, etc.

[0135] It is understandable that the orthographic projection of the cavity wall 4111c on the operation panel 3 is rectangular, and the light-transmitting area 31 is also rectangular. The distance L≥10μm between the outer edge of the orthographic projection of the cavity wall 4111c on the operation panel 3 and the outer edge of the light-transmitting area 31 means that the distance between the four sides must satisfy L≥10μm.

[0136] Please see Figures 12 to 15 , Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of an installation structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 13 for Figure 12 Sectional view at EE, Figure 14 This is another schematic diagram of the installation structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 15 This is an exploded view of the mounting structure provided in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the first plate 411 includes a main plate portion 4112 and a first connecting portion 4113. The light-emitting cavity 4111 is disposed on the main plate portion 4112, and the circuit board 421 is attached to the main plate portion 4112. The first connecting portion 4113 is connected to the main plate portion 4112 and extends in the direction toward the bracket 2. A first locking portion 4113a is provided on the outer edge of the first connecting portion 4113. The second plate 412 includes a supporting portion 4121 and a second connecting portion 4122. The circuit board 421 is disposed on the supporting portion 4121 so that the lamp bead 422 extends into the light-emitting cavity 4111. The second connecting part 4122 is connected to the supporting part 4121 and extends in the direction toward the operation panel 3. The outer edge of the second connecting part 4122 is provided with a second locking part 4122a. The second locking part 4122a is configured to engage with the first locking part 4113a so that the second plate 412 is connected to the first plate 411.

[0137] The first connecting portion 4113 extends towards the bracket 2, and the second connecting portion 4122 extends towards the operation panel 3. The extending directions of the first connecting portion 4113 and the second connecting portion 4122 are opposite and corresponding, forming an opposing engaging structure. This allows the first plate 411 and the second plate 412 to partially overlap in the thickness direction of the operation panel 3, thereby reducing the thickness of the entire mounting structure 41. At the same time, the circuit board 421 is attached to the main plate portion 4112 of the first plate 411 and is confined between the first plate 411 and the second plate 412, thereby further reducing the thickness of the entire display module.

[0138] It is understood that both the supporting part 4121 and the main body plate part 4112 can be square plates or pentagonal plates, etc., and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0139] It is understood that the first connecting part 4113 may be an annular plate surrounding the outer edge of the main body plate part 4112, and the second connecting part 4122 has the same structure as the first connecting part 4113.

[0140] It is understood that either the first locking part 4113a or the second locking part 4122a can be a hook, and the other can be a groove or a hole. Either the first locking part 4113a or the second locking part 4122a can also be a locking block, and the other can be a locking slot. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0141] It is understandable that, since the first plate 411 needs to be provided with a light-emitting cavity 4111, in order to avoid the light-emitting cavity 4111 being affected after the first plate 411 and the second plate 412 partially overlap and are connected, the size of the main plate 4112 needs to be smaller than the size of the supporting part 4121. At this time, the first locking part 4113a needs to extend to the outer edge of the second connecting part 4122 and engage with the second locking part 4122a.

[0142] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 16 to 18 , Figure 16 for Figure 2 Sectional view at FF in the middle. Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the operation panel provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of the bracket provided in an embodiment of this application. The surface of the operation panel 3 adjacent to the bracket 2 is provided with a third locking part 32, and the bracket 2 is provided with a fourth locking part 22 corresponding to the third locking part 32. The third locking part 32 is configured to engage with the fourth locking part 22 so that the operation panel 3 is connected to the bracket 2.

[0143] The operation panel is fixed by the engagement of the third and fourth locking parts. The engagement connection has good detachability. When it is necessary to repair or replace internal components such as the display module 4 and circuits, the operation panel 3 can be easily removed, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty of the entire clothing processing device 100.

[0144] It is understood that either the third locking part 32 or the fourth locking part 22 can be a hook, and the other can be a groove or a hole. Either the third locking part 32 or the fourth locking part 22 can also be a locking block, and the other can be a locking slot. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0145] The above provides a detailed description of the garment processing apparatus disclosed in the embodiments of this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the garment processing apparatus and its core ideas. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
