[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" 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 directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] Such as Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, the wall-mounted clothing treatment device introduced in the present invention includes: a barrel body 11 for containing washing water, including an opening communicating with the outside, and the opening constitutes at least part of the structure of the clothing input port. A front panel is connected to the opening of the barrel body 11 and constitutes at least part of the structure of the clothing input port. A front cover 8 is connected to the side of the front panel away from the barrel body 11, including a connecting portion 81 for connecting with the front panel and a cover portion 82 constituting at least part of the contour of the clothing input port. The connecting portion 81 is arranged along the outer peripheral side of the cover portion 82. Through the wall-mounted clothing treatment device introduced in the present invention, a front cover is arranged between the door body and the front panel to further decorate the clothing input port and improve the contact environment between the door body and the front panel. Moreover, the front cover includes two connected parts. The cover portion is mainly used to constitute the contour of the clothing input port and cover the front panel on the side of the device close to the door body; the connecting portion mainly realizes the connection function of the front cover with other components, such as the connection between the front cover and the front panel.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] As Figures 1 to 3 shown in the figure, the wall-mounted clothing treatment device described in this embodiment includes a door body directly connected to the barrel body 11 and capable of covering the clothing input port; the cover portion 82 is an annular structure and abuts against the door body when the door body is closed. The connecting portion 81 is an arc-shaped structure and is arranged along at least part of the outer peripheral side of the cover portion 82. Preferably, the number of the connecting portions 81 is at least two. Through the wall-mounted clothing treatment device introduced in this embodiment, the connecting portion is a non-connected structure and only forms an arc-shaped structure at the position where the connection function needs to be realized. This structural design can provide space for the arrangement of other components. The number of the arc-shaped structures can be multiple, and the sizes of the multiple arc-shaped structures can be set differently. The arc-shaped structure can be set to different sizes along its radial direction according to its installation environment. Or it is designed as a partially hollowed-out structure for the purpose of avoiding other components around it.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] As Figures 1 to 3 shown in the figure, the difference between the wall-mounted clothing treatment device described in this embodiment and the above embodiment is that: the wall-mounted clothing treatment device includes a lock for locking the connection between the door body and the front panel, and an installation groove 83 for accommodating the lock is arranged at a position corresponding to the lock on the side of the front cover facing the barrel body 11. The setting of the installation groove 83 is on the premise of not affecting the flatness of the side of the front cover facing the door body. The front cover in this embodiment can be a structure with a certain thickness, so that the lock can be wrapped in at least two directions. Since the front cover itself has the function of resisting impact, this design can also play a certain role in protecting the lock. The installation groove can be arranged at the position of the cover portion, or at the position of the connecting portion, or on both the connecting portion and the cover portion.

[0046] Furthermore, at least part of the contour of the installation groove 83 of the wall-mounted laundry treatment device in this embodiment is the same as the contour of the lock. This enables the front cover to protect the lock in multiple directions.

[0047] Embodiment III

[0048] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the difference between the wall-mounted laundry treatment device described in this embodiment and the above embodiment is that: the wall-mounted laundry treatment device includes a hinge for realizing the pivotable connection between the barrel and the door body, and the part of the connecting portion 81 relative to the hinge is a discontinuous structure. Since the hinge is at least partially a movable part, and at least part of the movable part needs to be connected to the door body, setting the connecting portion relative to the position of the hinge as a vacant structure can achieve the contact between the hinge and the door body and provide space for the pivoting movement of the hinge. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the front cover 8 is designed with a partially vacant structure for the connecting portion 81. Because during actual use, the connecting portion 81 is covered by other components and is not visible to the user, so designing the connecting portion as a vacant structure will not affect the appearance of the device.

[0049] Furthermore, the number of the connecting portions 81 of the wall-mounted laundry treatment device in this embodiment is at least two, and the interval between the at least two connecting portions 81 corresponds to the installation position of the hinge.

[0050] Furthermore, the connecting portion 81 of the wall-mounted laundry treatment device in this embodiment is connected to the front plate through a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes hole structures 811 respectively provided on the front plate and the connecting portion (the hole structure shown by 811 here only refers to the hole structure provided on the front cover 8) and a connecting member that cooperates with the hole structure 811. The connecting member can be a screw. Preferably, the number of the connecting mechanisms is multiple, and the multiple connecting mechanisms are arranged circumferentially.

[0051] Embodiment IV

[0052] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the wall-mounted clothes processing device described in this embodiment is different from the above-mentioned embodiments in that: a ring-shaped connecting rib 84 is provided at the transition position between the connecting portion 81 and the cover portion 82, and the connecting rib 84 protrudes from the surface formed by the cover portion 82. Since the connecting portion of the front cover introduced in the present invention is a discontinuous structure in some embodiments, its fixing ability and shaping ability for the cover portion are weak at the position where the connecting portion is discontinuous, so that the cover portion as a whole is in a state of stress imbalance, thereby increasing the hidden danger of deformation of the cover portion. Through the connecting ribs provided in this embodiment, the cover portion is positioned and supported around it, and the main object of the positioning and connecting functions of the connecting portion is the connecting rib, so that even at the position where the connecting portion is discontinuous, due to the strong supporting ability and positioning ability of the connecting rib, it can also evenly transfer the positioning function of the connecting portion to the cover portion.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the number of the connecting ribs 84 is at least two, and the at least two connecting ribs 84 are concentrically arranged to ensure the positioning and shape-maintaining effects of the cover portion 82 .

[0054] Furthermore, the surface formed by the connecting part in this embodiment is recessed relative to the side of the cover part facing the front plate. Since the side of the connecting part relative to the door body will be covered by other structures of the clothes processing device, in order to make the side of the cover part relative to the door body be on the same plane as other components, or to make a smooth transition between the side of the cover part relative to the door body and other components, the connecting part is set to a structure recessed toward one side of the barrel body. In addition, the connecting part and the cover part are on different planes in the axial direction of the barrel body, so that the supporting capacity of the connecting part for the cover part is more obvious.

[0055] Embodiment 5

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the wall-mounted clothing processing device described in this embodiment is different from the above-mentioned embodiments in that: the front cover 8 includes a positioning portion arranged along its outer peripheral side, and at least part of the positioning portion is connected to the outer peripheral side of the connecting portion. The extending direction of the positioning portion is at a certain angle to the axial direction of the clothing delivery port, so that the positioning portion forms an annular belt structure facing the axis of the clothing delivery port. Through the wall-mounted clothing processing device introduced in this embodiment, through the design of the positioning portion, the front cover can not only be connected to other components in a plane parallel to the delivery port, but also can be connected to other components in a direction parallel to the axis of the delivery port.

[0057] Furthermore, the positioning portion in this embodiment is an arc-shaped structure, and the portion thereof relative to the hinge connected to the door body is a discontinuous structure. Alternatively, the structure of the positioning portion corresponding to the vacant portion of the connecting portion is also vacant.

[0058] Furthermore, the annular belt structure formed by the positioning part in this embodiment is divided into a first positioning part 851 and a second positioning part 852 respectively located on both sides of the connecting part by the plane formed by the connecting part, and the first positioning part 851 is arranged toward the front plate; the front plate is provided with a rib-like structure engaged with the first positioning part 851. The first positioning part 851 and the second positioning part 852 are respectively located on both sides of the plane formed by the cover part, so that the positioning effect of the positioning part has directionality, that is, the positioning and supporting effects are achieved on both sides of the plane formed by the cover part 82.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the dimension of the first positioning portion along the axial direction of the clothing delivery port is smaller than the dimension of the second positioning portion 852 along this direction. Since the end of the second positioning portion is in direct or indirect contact with the door body, the impact effect caused by the door body is more obvious, and increasing the dimension of this position can increase the overall anti-deformation ability of the front cover. In addition, the first positioning portion is connected to the front plate, and while playing a positioning role, it can also play a shock-absorbing role to prevent the impact caused by the door body from acting on the front plate.

[0060] 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.
