Background Art

[0002] As household appliances, clothing treatment devices have been widely used in people's lives. There are also various types of housings for clothing treatment devices. Some housings of clothing treatment devices are of an integral structure, and some are of a multi-piece assembled structure. The housing of the clothing treatment device with an integral structure has the disadvantages of high processing costs and high requirements for material properties. Due to connection problems, the housings of the clothing treatment devices with a multi-piece assembled structure often have difficulties in forming and low strength.

[0003] The housing of a clothing treatment device is generally composed of a support frame with a certain strength covered with a housing cover plate on the outside. In the existing clothing treatment devices, generally, multiple support rods are used to form the edges of a cuboid to enclose a cuboid, and then the contact parts of the respective support rods are fixed to form the support frame of the clothing treatment device.

[0004] For example, in a Chinese patent with the patent number 200920241062.6, a housing of a clothing treatment device includes a front panel, a rear panel, a left side panel, and a right side panel. An upper frame composed of a left upper beam, an upper front beam, and a right upper beam is fixedly connected to the top of the rear panel; a lower frame composed of a left lower beam, a lower front beam, and a right lower beam is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rear panel; a left side panel is fixedly installed between the left upper beam and the left lower beam, a front panel is fixedly installed between the upper front beam and the lower front beam, and a right side panel is fixedly installed between the right upper beam and the right lower beam.

[0005] However, when the existing support frame is applied to a double-drum clothing treatment device, the provided support strength is insufficient and cannot provide sufficient installation support strength for the upper and lower two drums.

Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first laundry treatment cylinder provided above only has a drying function, and the second laundry treatment cylinder provided below simultaneously has the functions of washing and drying.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, a side plate of a laundry treatment device is introduced. On the side plate 9 of the laundry treatment device, there is at least one handle part 7 for the user to hold when moving the laundry treatment device. On the side plate 9, there is also a ventilation opening 11 communicating with the inside of the laundry treatment device.

[0037] By providing a handle portion on the side plate of the laundry treatment device, a user can directly hold the handle portion and then conveniently and quickly move the laundry treatment device. At the same time, by providing a ventilation opening on the side plate, the air duct of the laundry treatment device can be connected to the outside through the side ventilation opening, so that the air exchange channel of the laundry treatment device is arranged on the side of the laundry treatment device, thereby facilitating the assembly of the laundry treatment device and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0038] In this embodiment, at least two handle portions 7 are provided in the middle of the side plate 9, and each handle portion 7 is arranged at the same horizontal height of the side plate; preferably, one handle portion 7 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the side plate 9. By providing a handle portion at each of the front and rear ends of the left and right side walls of the laundry treatment device, when two people move the relatively heavy laundry treatment device, four hands can simultaneously provide handling operations on the machine body.

[0039] In this embodiment, the handle portion 7 includes a handle body fixedly installed on the side plate 9, and a groove recessed toward the inside of the laundry treatment device is provided on the handle body, and the opening of the groove is arranged toward the outside of the laundry treatment device; preferably, the opening of the groove is arranged toward the outside of the laundry treatment device and is inclined downward.

[0040] In this embodiment, the laundry treatment device includes a first laundry treatment cylinder and a second laundry treatment cylinder stacked up and down, and the handle portion 7 is arranged at the height between the first laundry treatment cylinder and the second laundry treatment cylinder. By arranging the handles on both sides at the same height, it is convenient for the user to move the laundry treatment device.

[0041] In this embodiment, the ventilation opening 11 is provided at the upper part of the side plate 9 and is connected to the end of the air duct provided in the laundry treatment device, so that external air can flow relatively with the inside of the air duct through the ventilation opening. By arranging the ventilation opening at the upper part of the side plate, the ventilation opening of the air duct of the laundry treatment device is arranged at the upper part of the machine body, so that the gas flowing out or flowing into the ventilation opening is the air flow on the upper side of the machine body, thereby reducing the interference of the ventilation air flow on the user operating the machine and improving the user experience effect.

By providing a grid-shaped shielding cover at the ventilation opening, the water flow attached to the outer wall of the housing of the laundry treatment device is blocked, and the water flow is prevented from flowing into the ventilation opening together with the gas, thereby ensuring the normal use of the laundry treatment device.

[0043] In this embodiment, the grid-shaped shielding cover 12 includes a plurality of horizontally spaced transverse shielding ribs, and each transverse shielding rib is inclined downward from the upper side to the outside of the housing of the laundry treatment device, so as to guide the water flow outside the laundry treatment device to flow around the ventilation opening along the transverse shielding rib; preferably, the upper sides of the transverse shielding ribs are arranged on the same vertical plane, and the lower sides of the transverse shielding ribs and the upper sides of the adjacent lower transverse shielding ribs are spaced apart by a certain gap respectively, so as to ensure that the air flow passes through the ventilation opening through the gap; more preferably, the lower sides of the transverse shielding ribs are lower than or flush with the height of the adjacent lower transverse shielding ribs.

[0044] In this embodiment, both ends of each transverse shielding rib are respectively fixed to a support ring, and the outer periphery of the support ring is equal in size to the aperture of the ventilation opening and is hermetically connected correspondingly; preferably, at least one vertically extending vertical shielding rib is further provided on the grid-shaped shielding cover, both ends of each vertical shielding rib are respectively fixedly connected to the support ring, and the vertical shielding rib sequentially penetrates through each transverse shielding rib and is fixedly connected; more preferably, the grid-shaped shielding cover and the side plate of the laundry treatment device are integrally provided.

[0045] In this embodiment, a plurality of pressings 10 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom on the side plate 9 of the laundry treatment device. By respectively arranging a plurality of pressings on the upper and lower parts of the side wall, the support strength of the side wall of the laundry treatment device is improved, thereby improving the overall strength of the laundry treatment device and reducing the vibration during the operation of the machine. Preferably, at least a part of the ventilation opening overlaps with a pressing on the side plate of the laundry treatment device, so as to arrange the ventilation opening in the pressing, thereby improving the peripheral strength at the ventilation opening. More preferably, a pressing is respectively arranged adjacent to the upper and lower sides of the handle part, so as to improve the torsional resistance in the up and down directions of the handle part, thereby improving the stability when the user holds the handle part and avoiding the occurrence of the handle part falling off.
