Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of clothing processing equipment, and in particular, relates to a wall-mounted clothing processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, a sealing strip is provided between the front sealing door and the door body to achieve a seal between the two. The sealing strip is stuck between the door body and the front sealing door to achieve the positioning of the seal. Since there is inevitable vibration when the wall-mounted clothing processing equipment is in operation, the vibration of the equipment is more obvious for the clothing processing equipment set on the ground when the equipment is in a wall-mounted state. At this time, the sealing strip is in a suspended state, and the door body and the front sealing door connected to it are both movably connected. It is deformed at the front and rear positions under the continuous squeezing action of the door body and the front sealing door, so that the deformation position, deformation amount and deformation method are different each time. This makes the sealing strip have to realize functionality at the position where it realizes structure, increasing the risk of creep and failure of the sealing strip.

[0003] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that: the second clamping protrusion is formed by bending the end of the first clamping protrusion at a certain angle.

[0032] After adopting the above technical scheme, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0033] 1. Through the wall-mounted clothing processing device introduced in the present invention, an elastic fixed connection relationship is established between the sealing device and the front plate. Since the front plate and barrel of the device are indirectly connected to the wall, the front plate and barrel are relatively stable when the device is in use. Even if the position vibrates, the state and position of the device will be adjusted back to a stable equilibrium state due to the support and fixing ability provided by the wall. This connection relationship between the sealing device and the front plate allows the sealing device to provide a seal between the front plate and other components while the front plate also provides support for the sealing device in all directions, so that the state of the sealing device remains stable. At this time, the elastic fixed connection means that the relative position relationship between the sealing device and the front plate is fixed, but since the sealing device is a component with certain elastic properties, the sealing device can change its connection relationship with the front plate and the shape and structure of the connection position between the sealing device and the front plate in an elastic deformation manner.

[0034] 2. With the wall-mounted clothes processing device introduced in the present invention, the elastic fixed connection between the sealing device and the front plate is realized by the structural design of the connection position of the two. Therefore, even if the sealing device is positioned and structurally maintained to a certain extent by the front plate, there is no need to set a connecting member or other device, such as a screw, between the two. The structural maintenance between the two is realized to a greater extent.

[0035] 3. Through the wall-mounted clothing processing device introduced in the present invention, the connection position of the sealing device and the front plate is structurally designed so that a stable connection between the two can be achieved only by matching them during assembly. At least a part of the connection direction of this connection method is in the direction in which the device will not be deformed, so that the connection relationship between the two is firm and durable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “inside” and “outside” are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0044] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the wall-mounted clothes treatment device introduced in the present invention comprises: a door body 6, covering the clothes delivery port of the device; a barrel body 11, used to hold washing water, including an opening connected to the outside; a front plate 2, connected to the opening of the barrel body 11, covering at least part of the outline of the opening of the barrel body 11; a sealing device 92, connected to the inner peripheral side of the front plate 2, and abutting against the side of the door body 6 facing the barrel body 11, and the sealing device 92 is connected to the front plate 2 in at least two directions by wrapping at least a part of the front plate 2. Through the wall-mounted clothes treatment device introduced in the present invention, an elastic fixed connection relationship is established between the sealing device and the front plate. Since the front plate and barrel body of the device are indirectly connected to the wall, the front plate and barrel body are also in a relatively stable state when the device is used. Even if the position vibrates, the state and position of the device will be adjusted back to a stable equilibrium state due to the support and fixing ability provided by the wall. The connection between the sealing device and the front plate enables the sealing device to provide a seal between the front plate and other components, while the front plate also provides support for the sealing device in all directions, so that the state of the sealing device remains stable. The elastic fixed connection at this time means that the relative position relationship between the sealing device and the front plate is fixed, but because the sealing device is a component with certain elastic properties, the sealing device can change the connection relationship between it and the front plate and the shape and structure of the connection position between the sealing device and the front plate in an elastic deformation manner.

[0046] Embodiment 1

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the two directions of the wall-mounted clothing processing device described in this embodiment form a certain angle in the plane where the axial direction of the barrel body 11 is located. Since there are countless planes where the axial direction is located, and the sealing device is an annular structure, the plane where the axial direction is located is a plane composed of a point where the sealing device is located and the axial direction, and the cross-section of the sealing device corresponding to any plane has a sealing structure that wraps at least a part of the front plate in two directions. This embodiment has a structural design for the connection position of the sealing device 92 and the front plate 2, so that a stable connection between the two is achieved only by matching during assembly, and at least a part of the connection direction of this connection method is oriented in the direction where the device will not deform (for example, the radial direction of the barrel body), so that the connection relationship between the two is firm and durable.

[0048] Preferably, the angle is in the range of 30° to 160°. This angle range can not only realize that the component of at least a part of the connection direction between the sealing device 92 and the front plate 2 along the radial direction of the barrel body 11 is not 0, but also can ensure that the component along the radial direction of the barrel body 11 can satisfy the stable connection between the two. Regardless of the state of the device, the front plate mainly provides support and positioning functions for the sealing device, thereby maintaining the positional relationship between the sealing device and the barrel body and not changing with the use of the device. It is understandable that if the relative position between the sealing device and the barrel body changes, even if it is a slight change, the contact position of the door body with the sealing device will change when it is closed again, thereby causing the matching relationship between the sealing device and the door body to change, making it difficult to ensure the sealing effect for the door body.

[0049] Embodiment 2

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wall-mounted clothing treatment device described in this embodiment is different from the above-mentioned embodiments in that: the sealing device 92 is connected to the front plate 2 by at least a first sealing member, and the first sealing member includes a first sealing member assembly portion whose connection direction is at a first angle to the axial direction of the barrel body 11. With the wall-mounted clothing treatment device introduced in this embodiment, the elastic fixed connection between the sealing device and the front plate is achieved by a structural design of the connection position of the two. Therefore, even if the sealing device is positioned and structurally maintained to a certain extent by the front plate, there is no need to provide a connecting member or other device, such as screws, between the two. The structural maintenance between the two is achieved to a large extent. Preferably, the range of the first angle is 0° to 90°;

[0051] Furthermore, the first sealing component assembly part in this embodiment includes a first latching protrusion 9311 and a first latching groove 9312 / a first latching groove and a first latching protrusion which are respectively arranged on the front plate and the sealing device and are matched and connected, and the first latching groove 9312 and the first latching protrusion 9311 are connected by latching.

[0052] Further, the first seal in this embodiment includes a second seal assembly portion whose connection direction forms a second angle with the radial direction of the barrel body 11. Preferably, the second angle ranges from 0° to 90°. Further, the second seal assembly portion in this embodiment includes a second clamping protrusion 9321 and a second clamping groove 9322 / a second clamping groove and a second clamping protrusion, which are respectively arranged on the front plate and the sealing device and are connected in a matching manner.

[0053] The first sealing member introduced in this embodiment realizes the connection between the sealing device and the front plate in at least two directions, and at least one of the at least two directions has a direction component along the radial direction of the barrel that is not 0. Since the barrel is almost not likely to deform in the radial direction during the use of the device, establishing a connection relationship in this direction can effectively ensure that the structure, position, and performance of the sealing device are maintained.

[0054] Embodiment 3

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wall-mounted clothes processing device described in this embodiment is different from the above embodiment in that: the second card slot 9322 is formed by bending the end of the first card slot 9311 at a certain angle. In this embodiment, the first seal assembly part and the second seal assembly part are at least partially integrated. By adjusting the direction of at least part of the first seal, the connection between the sealing device and the front plate in different directions is achieved, and the design requirements are met without increasing the structural burden.

[0056] Furthermore, the second protrusion 9321 in this embodiment is formed by bending the end of the first protrusion 9311 at a certain angle. When the sealing device 92 is assembled with the front plate 2, the first protrusion 9311 first passes through the second groove 9322 and then slides into the first groove 9312, thereby completing the assembly.

[0057] Embodiment 4

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the wall-mounted clothes processing device described in this embodiment is different from the above-mentioned embodiment in that: the sealing device 92 in this embodiment is connected to the door body 6 at least through the second sealing member 94, and the second sealing member 94 is a rib structure extending from the sealing device 92 to the door body 6, and the extension direction of the second sealing member 94 is inclined toward one side of the barrel body 11. That is, the extension direction of the second sealing member 94 is inclined at a certain angle along the connection direction between the door body 6 and the barrel body 11. This design makes the side of the second sealing member in contact with the door body form a certain angle along the side of the door body facing the barrel body, which increases the contact area between the second sealing member and the door body, and further increases the sealing effect of the second sealing member on the door body. In addition, in order to achieve the sealing of the door body when the door body is in a closed state, the sealing device will inevitably undergo a certain deformation under the action of contact with the door body. The inclined setting in this embodiment is in the stage of processing and forming the sealing device. Even if the polymer material (such as rubber) constituting the sealing device is oriented to a certain extent along the inclined direction, even if the second sealing component undergoes elastic deformation along the axial direction of the barrel body, it will inevitably be oriented to a certain extent along the orientation direction, so that the deformation of the second sealing component causes the orientation direction of the polymer material at the microscopic level without destroying the intermolecular connection between the polymer materials, thereby reducing the possibility of failure of the second sealing component.

[0059] Preferably, the tilt angle is 0° to 75°. Further preferably, the rib structure is annular and is arranged along the connection position between the sealing device 92 and the door body 6 .

[0060] Embodiment 5

[0061] The wall-mounted clothes processing device described in this embodiment is different from the above-mentioned embodiment in that: the second seal includes a strength adjustment mechanism for adjusting the strength of different parts thereof. The design of the strength adjustment mechanism in this embodiment makes the deformation ability of at least one part of the second seal different from that of other parts. Preferably, the strength adjustment mechanism makes the strength of the position where it is set smaller than that of other positions. Then, when contact occurs between the door body and the second seal, the position of the strength adjustment mechanism is deformed first, and the contact relationship between other positions and the door body remains unchanged. That is to say, during the closing process of the door body, a considerable part of the contact position and contact area between the second seal and the door body is constant, and the sealing of the second seal to the door body remains unchanged since the two start to contact, and there is no tendency of relative movement between the two, and the second seal will not be dragged and deformed along the closing direction under the action of friction due to the change in the closing degree of the door body. Preferably, the strength adjustment mechanism is arranged on the side of the second seal facing the barrel body.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the strength adjustment mechanism 941 in this embodiment includes a groove structure provided on the second sealing member 94. The groove structure is provided at least at the connection position between the second sealing member 94 and the sealing device 92. Preferably, the groove structure is annular and is provided along the connection position between the sealing device 92 and the door body 6.

[0063] Furthermore, the device in this embodiment also includes a front cover 8, which is arranged between the front plate 2 and the door body 6 and connected to the front plate 2. The sealing device 92 is connected to the front cover 8 at least through a third sealing member 95, and the third sealing member includes a third cam 951 and a third slot / a third slot and a third cam, which are respectively arranged on the front cover 8 and the sealing device 92 and are matched and connected. The distance between the third sealing member and the bottom surface of the barrel body is greater than the distance between the second sealing member and the bottom surface of the barrel body. This design makes the setting position of the second sealing member relative to the sealing device far away from the setting position of the third sealing member relative to the sealing device. Since the second sealing member is bound to deform to a certain extent when the door body is closed, the calculation scheme in this embodiment makes the second sealing member far away from the third sealing member. Even if the second sealing member is deformed, causing deformation of other parts of the sealing device connected thereto, it will not affect the connection relationship between the third sealing member and the front cover. That is to say, when the sealing device in this embodiment realizes connection with multiple components, the connection relationship between it and one of the components will not be affected by changes in the connection relationship with other components, and separate connections between different components are realized on the same sealing device.

[0064] In the present invention, since there are countless planes where the axial direction is located, and the sealing device is an annular structure, the plane where the axial direction is located is a plane composed of a point where the sealing device is located and the axial direction. The plane passing through the sealing device is the cross-section of the position, and the angle with the axial direction also refers to the angle with the axial direction within the plane.

[0065] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modify the technical contents suggested above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
