They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0043] Hereinafter, a laundry treating apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 9As shown, the laundry treating apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an inner tub 20 , an outer tub 30 , a door assembly 400 , and a front baffle 80 .

[0045] Specifically, the outer cylinder 30 has an outer cylinder cavity 310, the inner cylinder 20 is arranged in the outer cylinder cavity 310, and the outer cylinder cavity 310 has a front cylinder opening 320, and the front cylinder opening 320 is connected to the outer cylinder cavity. The door assembly 400 is covered at the front cylinder opening 320, and the front cylinder opening 320 can be opened and closed. The front baffle 80 is arranged at the front of the outer cylinder 30, and the front baffle 80 has a first part (in some embodiments, the first part is a first plate body 81) and a second part (in some embodiments, the second part is a second plate body 82), the first part is located at the front side of the edge 321 of the front cylinder opening 320 and abuts against the door assembly 400 when the door assembly 400 is closed. The second part extends from the front cylinder opening 320 into the outer cylinder cavity 310.

[0046] In this way, the front baffle 80 can not only abut against the door assembly 400 to perform a sealing effect, but also play a shielding role at the outer drum opening of the outer drum cavity 310, thereby reducing the probability of clothes falling from the drum opening of the inner drum 20. Compared with the door sealing ring made of rubber material used in the related art, the clothing processing device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention adopts the front baffle 80, which is not easy to deform, the sealing is maintained for a longer time, and the sealing performance is improved.

[0047] The structure and advantages of the laundry processing device 100 are described in more detail below in conjunction with some specific embodiments of the present invention. Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the front baffle 80 includes a first plate body 81 and a second plate body 82 . The first plate body 81 is annular and extends along the circumference of the front barrel opening 320 of the outer barrel 30 . The second plate body 82 is also annular and extends along the circumference of the front barrel opening 320 of the outer barrel 30 .

[0048] The first plate 81 is located at the front side of the edge 321 of the front cylinder opening 320 of the outer drum 30, and when the door assembly 400 is closed, the first plate 81 abuts against the door assembly 400 so that there is no gap between the first plate 81 and the door assembly 400 to prevent the wash water from overflowing. The second plate 82 extends from the front cylinder opening 320 of the outer drum 30 into the outer drum cavity 310, and the rear portion of the second plate 82 extends backward to the cylinder opening of the inner drum 20, and is spaced apart from the inner drum 20.

[0049] The inventors found that in the related art, the rotary drum washing machine connects the front sealing door and the outer barrel body through a door sealing ring (or door seal), and the door sealing ring can be stretched and twisted when the outer barrel body is running. After the door body is closed, it contacts the door sealing ring to achieve a sealing effect, preventing the washing water in the barrel body from splashing out or the clothes from falling out. However, the door sealing ring has grooves, which are prone to dirt and are difficult to clean after long-term use. The door sealing ring is usually made of rubber, which is prone to aging, wear, leakage and other defects after long-term use; in addition, the material, hardness and external environment of the door sealing ring will cause changes in its pulling force, which will cause the vibration performance of the whole machine to decrease.

[0050] In view of the discovery of problems existing in the relevant technology and their causes, the present invention proposes a new structure of a clothing processing device 1000, which includes a front baffle 80, which is connected to the outer drum 30 and is arranged at the front drum opening 320. The front baffle 80 can not only be against the door assembly 400 when closed, but also can extend into the outer drum cavity 310 and be adjacent to the drum opening of the inner drum 20.

[0051] In this way, not only can the front baffle 80 and the door assembly 400 be sealed, but the second plate 82 extending into the outer drum cavity 310 is similar to or equivalent to the door seal ring in the related art, and can play a shielding role in the gap between the door assembly 400 and the inner drum 20 to prevent the clothes removed from the drum opening of the inner drum 20 from falling down. Compared with the general door seal ring, the front baffle 80 has higher strength and is not easy to deform. Moreover, the front baffle 80 and the outer drum 30 are fixed together and move simultaneously without distortion, deformation, etc., which can ensure the stability of the seal.

[0052] In addition, the second plate 82 and the inner cylinder 20 are not in contact, which can also prevent the inner cylinder 20 that needs to rotate from colliding with the second plate 82 in some embodiments. In addition, the first plate 81 is located at the front side of the outer cylinder 30, and can also play a decorative role from the front side, and the front baffle can also be used as a decorative plate.

[0053] According to the clothing processing device 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the front baffle 80 and coordinating the connection and position with the door assembly 400, the outer drum 30 and the inner drum 20, a good seal of the front drum opening 320 can be achieved, and the sealing stability is improved. The clothing processing device 1000 can form a door-seal-free structure, and the whole machine is easy to manufacture and operates stably and reliably.

[0054] Optionally, the front baffle 80 may be made of a material with higher strength, such as metal or plastic, which has better stability compared to a door seal made of rubber.

[0055] The present invention does not impose any special restrictions on the size of the interval between the second plate 82 and the inner cylinder 20, and can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. Figure 5 As shown, the distance between the rear of the second plate 82 and the edge of the tube opening of the inner drum 20 is d0. According to some embodiments of the present invention, d0 may satisfy: 1mm≤d0≤5mm. In this way, not only is the shielding effect on the clothes good, but the front baffle 80 is also convenient to set and has less interference with the inner drum 20. For example, d0 may be 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, etc.

[0056] Optionally, the second plate 82 can extend along the axial direction of the outer cylinder 30, and the inner circumference of the second plate 82 can be a smooth surface. In this way, the structure of the second plate 82 is more regular, easier to manufacture and install, and has a better effect on shielding clothes. In addition, the inner circumference of the second plate 82 is a smooth surface, which can reduce friction when in contact with clothes, and is not easy to generate dirt, and is convenient to clean. Here, the smooth surface is understood in a broad sense, not only referring to a polished smooth surface, but also can be understood as a surface without obvious protrusions and depressions.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, optionally, the first plate 81 can extend perpendicularly to the axial direction of the outer drum 30, that is, the second plate 81 can extend radially of the outer drum 30. The first plate 81 and the second plate 82 can be smoothly connected, which can reduce the bending angle of the front baffle 80, making it safer and more reliable, and the structure of the front baffle 80 matches that of the outer drum 30, and the structure of the laundry processing device 100 is more compact.

[0058] Reference Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the edge of the tube mouth of the inner tube 20 may be formed with an arc-shaped first outer flange 250, which is formed in an arc shape and bends outward from the end of the edge of the tube mouth of the inner tube 20. An end of the second plate body 82 adjacent to the tube mouth of the inner tube 20 may also be provided with an arc-shaped second outer flange 822, which is formed in an arc shape and bends outward from the rear end edge of the second plate body 82.

[0059] This can not only enhance the structural strength of the inner drum 20 and the front baffle 80, but also make the structure smoother, improve safety and reliability, and reduce scratches on clothes. Although in the above embodiment, the first outer flange 250 and the second outer flange 822 exist at the same time, only one of them can be retained as needed, and this situation is also within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0060] Continue to refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a first sealing ring 83 may be provided between the first plate 81 and the edge 321 of the front barrel opening 320 of the outer barrel cavity 310. In this way, the sealing performance between the front baffle plate 80 and the outer barrel 30 can be improved, and the hot air in the outer barrel cavity 310 can be further reduced from flowing out of the gap between the front baffle plate 80 and the outer barrel 30.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the outer cylinder 30 is provided with a sealing groove 350, and the first sealing ring 83 can be arranged in the sealing groove 350. The surface of the first sealing ring 83 that abuts against the second plate body 82 is provided with a recess 831. The sealing groove 350 serves to accommodate and limit the first sealing ring 83, and the recess 831 can provide a deformation space for the first sealing ring 83, thereby greatly improving the sealing effect between the outer cylinder 30 and the front baffle 80.

[0062] Of course, the sealing groove 350 can also be provided on the second plate body 82. In this case, the first sealing ring 83 can be provided in the sealing groove 350, and the surface of the first sealing ring 83 that abuts against the outer cylinder 30 can be provided with a notch 831, which also has an excellent sealing effect. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, one of the second plate body 82 and the outer cylinder 30 is provided with the sealing groove 350, the first sealing ring 83 is provided in the sealing groove 350, and the surface of the first sealing ring 83 that abuts against the other of the second plate body 82 and the outer cylinder 30 is provided with a notch 831.

[0063] Optionally, refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the door assembly 400 is provided with a second sealing ring 412, and the door assembly 400 is abutted against the first plate 81 through the second sealing ring 412. In this way, the sealing performance of the connection between the front baffle 80 and the door assembly 400 can be improved, and the hot air entering the outer cylinder cavity 310 can be reduced from flowing out from the gap between the front baffle 80 and the door assembly 400, thereby further reducing the loss of hot air. Figure 5 Optionally, the second sealing ring 412 may have at least one sealing flange 413 that abuts against the first plate 81. Such a structure is not only convenient for assembly, but also has a better sealing effect. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, there are two sealing flanges 413 , which can be bent into a roughly V-shape, thereby achieving a good sealing effect.

[0064] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the door assembly 400 may include a door ring 410, a front door plate 420 and a rear door plate 430. Optionally, the front door plate 420 and the rear door plate 430 may be glass plates, so as to facilitate inward observation through the door assembly 400. The front door plate 410 is arranged at the front side of the door ring 410, and the rear door plate 430 is connected to the door ring 410 and is located at the rear side of the front door plate 420. The door ring 410 has a plug tongue 4101, and the plug tongue 4101 is separated from the rear door plate 430 by a clamping gap 4102. The second sealing ring 412 is provided with a clamping groove 414, and the plug tongue 4101 is clamped into the clamping groove 414, and the groove wall of the clamping groove 414 extends into and stops in the clamping gap 4102.

[0065] In this way, the door ring 410, the second sealing ring 412 and the rear door plate 430 can be clamped together, which not only makes disassembly and assembly convenient and the connection reliable, but also the second sealing ring 412 can seal the door ring 410 and the rear door plate 430, and the first sealing ring 412 can not only seal the door assembly 400 and the front baffle 80, but also achieve sealing inside the door assembly 400, which not only has a good sealing effect, but also makes the structure of the clothing processing device 1000 more compact.

[0066] Furthermore, the door ring 410 may include a front door ring 4110 and a rear door ring 4120, the front door ring 4110 is connected to the front door panel 420, the rear door ring 4120 is connected to the front door ring 4110, the outer peripheral edge of the rear door panel 430 abuts between the front door ring 4110 and the groove wall of the slot 414, and the inner peripheral edge of the front door ring 4110 forms an insertion tongue 4101. In this way, the rear door panel 430 can be clamped and installed through the front door ring 4110, the rear door ring 4120 and the second sealing ring 412, which is convenient to disassemble and assemble and the connection is reliable, and the sealing effect of the door assembly 400 is further improved.

[0067] In order to improve the strength and operation stability of the finishing machine, in some embodiments of the present invention, the laundry processing device 1000 is further provided with a strength enhancement structure. The strength enhancement structure can have various structural types, which are described below with examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0068] Reference Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the laundry processing apparatus 1000 may include a first reinforcing plate 84, the first reinforcing plate 84 being connected to the first plate body 81, optionally, as Figure 5 As shown, the first reinforcing plate 84 can be connected to the first plate body 81 by a threaded fastener. The door assembly 400 is connected with a hinge 440 to realize the rotation of the door assembly 400 relative to the outer cylinder 30. The hinge 440 can be connected to the first reinforcing plate 84 and the first plate body 81 by a threaded fastener. In other words, the first reinforcing plate 84 is provided with a screw hole, the first plate body 81 is also provided with a screw hole, and the hinge 440 is also provided with a screw hole. The threaded fastener can be inserted into three screw holes to realize the simultaneous connection of the hinge 440 with the first reinforcing plate 84 and the first plate body 81, the connection is reliable and the structure is more stable and reliable, the hinge 440 is more reliably installed, and the door assembly 400 can withstand more times of opening and closing.

[0069] Optionally, the threaded fasteners that separately connect the first reinforcing plate 84 and the first plate body 81 and the threaded fasteners that connect the first reinforcing plate 84, the first plate body 81 and the hinge 440 can be different parts, which can provide a better connection effect and facilitate separate disassembly and assembly of the hinge 440.

[0070] Reference Figure 7As shown, optionally, the clothing processing device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a second reinforcing plate 85, and the door lock assembly 450 of the clothing processing device may be connected to the second reinforcing plate 85 and the first plate body 81 by threaded fasteners, that is, the second reinforcing plate 85 may be provided with a threaded hole, the first plate body 81 may also be provided with a threaded hole, and the door lock assembly 450 may also be provided with a threaded hole. The threaded fasteners may be passed through the three threaded holes to simultaneously connect the door lock assembly 450, the second reinforcing plate 85 and the first plate body 81, so that the connection is more convenient and the structure is more reliable, the door lock assembly 450 is more reliably installed, and the clothing processing device 1000 is more securely locked.

[0071] Alternatively, if Figure 7 As shown, the second reinforcing plate 85 may be provided with a first through hole, the first plate body 81 may be provided with a second through hole, and the lock tongue 451 of the door lock assembly 450 may pass through the first through hole and the second through hole to achieve the effect of locking the door assembly 400 when it is closed in cooperation with the door assembly 400. Thus, not only is the structure more compact, but the firmness of the lock can be further improved through the strength enhancement structure.

[0072] Figure 8 9 and 9 show the front baffle 80 of the clothing processing device 1000 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The front baffle 80 includes a first plate body 81 and a second plate body 82, and the outer periphery of the first plate body is provided with a reinforcing flange 811 bent toward the front side of the first plate body 81. In this way, the strength of the front baffle 80 can be improved and the shape stability can be improved. Of course, the reinforcing flange 811 can also be bent toward the rear side of the first plate body 81, which can also have the effect of strengthening the strength. Optionally, the first plate body 81, the second plate body 82, the reinforcing flange 811 and the second outer flange 822 can be formed in one piece, which is more convenient to manufacture and has higher strength.

[0073] In addition, in some examples of the present invention, for example, Figure 5 As shown, the first plate 81 may be provided with a reinforcing protrusion 812, which is recessed in the front side of the first plate 81 and protrudes from the rear side of the first plate 81. The reinforcing protrusion 812 may also play the role of reinforcing the strength of the front baffle 80. Of course, the reinforcing protrusion 812 is not limited to being arranged in this direction. The reinforcing protrusion 812 may also be recessed in the rear side of the first plate 81 and protrudes from the front side of the first plate 81. The reinforcing flange 811 and the reinforcing protrusion 812 may be provided at the same time, or only one of them may be provided, and may be flexibly provided according to actual conditions.

[0074] like Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, optionally, a water leakage hole 823 may be provided at the lower portion of the second plate body 82 , and water falling onto the second plate body 82 may flow downward through the water leakage hole 823 , thereby reducing water accumulation at the bottom of the front baffle 80 .

[0075] Reference Fig.10 As shown, in some specific examples of the present invention, the clothes processing device 1000 further includes a drying component 500, which can provide hot air. Specifically, the drying component 500 is connected to the outer drum 30 and has an air outlet 520 extending to the front side of the outer drum 30, and the air outlet 520 has a hot air outlet 510 connected to the outer drum 30. The hot air in the drying component 500 can flow out through the hot air outlet 510 and enter the outer drum 30, and then flow into the inner drum 20 to dry the clothes.

[0076] The first portion (for example, the first plate 81) can extend to the front side of the air outlet 520 to shield the air outlet 520. In this way, the front baffle 80 can also play a role in heat insulation protection, preventing the air outlet 520 with a higher temperature from being exposed from the front side, thereby preventing users from being scalded and improving safety. Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the second plate 82 may be provided with a mounting hole 821, and a guide member may be installed at the air outlet 520, and the guide member may be inserted into the mounting hole 821.
