Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing treatment, and particularly provides a clothing treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Taking a drum washing machine as an example, an inner drum and electrical components including a motor, a drainage pump, etc. are provided inside its housing. During the operation of the washing machine, in the washing stage, the motor drives the inner drum to rotate at a high speed so that the clothes are continuously lifted and dropped inside the inner drum for washing the clothes. In the drainage stage, the drainage pump discharges the washing water in the inner drum from the drum washing machine. In this way, during the operation process, such as the operation of the motor, the rotation of the inner drum, and the operation of the drainage pump, etc., will generate relatively large noises, and a large part of these noises is transmitted to the outside of the housing through the side and bottom of the housing, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used sound insulation method is to block the noise from spreading to the outside of the washing machine, such as fixedly arranging sound insulation materials at the bottom of the housing of the drum washing machine. However, this sound insulation method is likely to cause problems such as inconvenient movement of the drum washing machine.

[0004] Correspondingly, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, that is, to solve the problem that fixedly arranging sound insulation materials at the bottom of the existing washing machine is likely to cause inconvenient movement, the present invention provides a clothing treatment device, the clothing treatment device includes a box body, the bottom of the box body has an opening, the clothing treatment device is configured with a sound insulation unit, the sound insulation unit includes a driving mechanism and a sound insulation component connected to the driving mechanism, wherein, the sound insulation component is arranged on the box body in a liftable manner by means of the driving mechanism, in the case where the clothing treatment device is operating normally, the driving mechanism drives the sound insulation component to descend so as to abut against the ground at the installation position to form a sound insulation cavity surrounding the opening and thus block the operation noise of the clothing treatment device from being transmitted to the outside; in the case where the clothing treatment device is not operating, the driving mechanism drives the sound insulation component to rise so as to be suspended relative to the ground at the installation position.

[0006] In a preferred technical solution of the above clothing treatment device, the sound insulation unit further includes a connection component, one side of the connection component is connected to the driving mechanism, and the other side is fixedly connected to the sound insulation component.

[0007] In a preferred technical solution of the above clothing treatment device, a docking structure is arranged at the bottom of the box body at a position corresponding to the sound insulation unit, and in the assembled state, the docking structure abuts against at least a part of the sound insulation unit.

[0008] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the docking structure is provided as a flange that extends downward along at least a part of the circumferential direction of the opening. In the assembled state, the flange abuts against the sound insulation component.

[0009] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the driving mechanism includes at least one driving member, and the driving member is connected to the connecting component.

[0010] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the clothing treatment device further includes a first controller. In the case where there are multiple driving members, the first controller causes the multiple driving members to run synchronously; and / or the multiple driving members are evenly or unevenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the opening.

[0011] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the driving member includes a cylinder and a movable rod that is liftably arranged in the cylinder, and the movable rod is connected to the connecting component.

[0012] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the driving mechanism further includes a mounting member, and the mounting member is fixedly arranged on the box body, and the driving member is fixedly arranged on the box body by means of the mounting member.

[0013] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the driving mechanism further includes an elastic member, and the movable rod is connected to the elastic member so that the sound insulation component is suspended relative to the ground at the position to be installed by means of the elastic member.

[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing treatment device, the clothing treatment device is further configured with a humidity detector, and the humidity detection device includes a second controller and a detection member, and the detection member is arranged at the bottom of the box body.

[0015] Those skilled in the art can understand that in the technical solution of the present invention, the bottom of the cabinet of the laundry treatment device has an opening, and the laundry treatment device is configured with a sound insulation unit. The sound insulation unit includes a driving mechanism and a sound insulation component. The driving mechanism drives the connected sound insulation component to move up and down, so that the sound insulation component is liftably arranged on the cabinet. Through such a setting, when the laundry treatment device is operating normally, the driving mechanism drives the sound insulation component to move downward until it abuts against the ground at the installation position, thereby forming a sound insulation cavity that can surround the opening, so as to better block the operation noise of the laundry treatment device (such as the operation noise of components such as motors and drainage pumps) from being transmitted to the outside, improving the user experience; when the laundry treatment device is not operating, the driving mechanism drives the sound insulation component to move upward so that the sound insulation component is suspended relative to the ground at the installation position, so that the movement of the laundry treatment device will not be affected by the friction between the sound insulation component and the ground. For example, when a foam with a certain stiffness is used as the sound insulation material, the sound insulation component composed of the foam is directly connected to the driving mechanism and moves up and down under the driving action of the driving mechanism.

[0016] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the sound insulation unit includes a driving mechanism, a connecting component and a sound insulation component. Among them, one side of the connecting component is connected to the driving mechanism, and the other side is connected to the sound insulation component. Through such a setting, the driving mechanism drives the connecting component to move up and down, and then drives the sound insulation component to move up and down, so as to be suspended relative to the ground at the installation position or abut against the ground. For example, when a relatively soft foam strip is used as the sound insulation material, the sound insulation component composed of the foam strip is first connected to one side of the connecting component so as to be firmly arranged at the bottom of the cabinet, and then the synchronous movement of the sound insulation component and the driving mechanism is realized through the connection between the connecting component and the driving mechanism, so as to realize the up and down movement of the sound insulation component under the driving action of the driving mechanism.

[0017] Furthermore, a docking structure is provided at the bottom of the cabinet at a position corresponding to the sound insulation unit. In the assembled state, the docking structure abuts against at least a part of the sound insulation unit, so as to be able to block the gap between the sound insulation unit and the bottom of the cabinet, so that when the sound insulation component abuts against the ground at the installation position, a more airtight sound insulation cavity can be formed at the bottom of the cabinet, so as to better block the operation noise of the laundry treatment device from being transmitted to the outside, further improving the user experience.

[0018] Furthermore, the docking structure is set as a flanging, and the flanging is formed by at least a part of the cabinet extending downward along the circumference of the opening. In the assembled state, the flanging abuts against the sound insulation component, so that the gap between the cabinet and the sound insulation component can be better blocked.

[0019] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes at least one driving member, which is connected to the connection component, and the connection component is connected to the sound insulation component, so as to realize the driving member driving the sound insulation component to move up and down.

[0020] Furthermore, the laundry treating device further includes a first controller. In the case where there are multiple driving members, the first controller enables the multiple driving members to operate synchronously. For example, in the case where the laundry treating device is operating normally, the first controller makes the multiple driving members simultaneously drive the sound insulation component to move downward until it abuts against the ground at the installation position. Moreover, the multiple driving members are evenly or unevenly distributed along the circumference of the opening, so as to better drive the movement of the sound insulation component. For example, the connection component is square, such as one driving member is provided on each of the four sides, or one driving member is provided on one side and two driving members are provided on the opposite side, etc. The number, distribution density, etc. of the driving members can be determined according to specific application scenarios, such as the shape, size, weight, etc. of the connection component and the sound insulation component. Generally speaking, at least two driving members are arranged oppositely at the opening, so that the force on the sound insulation component is more uniform, and thus the sound insulation component can be better driven to move up and down.

[0021] Furthermore, the driving member includes a cylinder and a movable rod, and the movable rod is connected to the connection component, thus realizing the connection between the driving member and the connection component. In the case where the laundry treating device is operating normally, the movable rod moves up and down, thereby driving the connection component and the sound insulation component to move up and down.

[0022] In addition, the driving mechanism further includes a mounting member, and the cylinder is fixedly connected to the mounting member, thereby fixedly arranging the driving member on the box body, so as to better drive the sound insulation component to move up and down.

[0023] In addition, the driving mechanism further includes an elastic member, and the movable rod is connected to the elastic member. In the case where the laundry treating device is not operating, the movable rod moves upward under the self-elastic force of the elastic member, thereby driving the sound insulation component to rise so that the sound insulation component is suspended relative to the ground.

[0024] Furthermore, the laundry treating device is further configured with a humidity detection device, which includes a second controller and a detection member arranged at the bottom of the box body, and the humidity of the ground at the installation position is detected by the detection member. During the normal operation of the laundry treating device, the humidity of the ground detected by the detection member is certain. Even if the air humidity changes, the change range of the detected humidity is small. If the detected humidity suddenly increases significantly, it means that there is water on the ground, and the sound insulation component in contact with the ground is soaked. To avoid the risk of electric shock, the power supply of the drum washing machine can be cut off through the second controller. At this time, the movable rod moves upward under the action of the elastic member, and then drives the sound insulation component to move upward, so that the sound insulation component is suspended relative to the ground.

[0035] The preferred implementation manners of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these implementation manners are only used to explain the technical principle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. For example, although this embodiment is described by taking a drum washing machine as an example, it can also be applied to other types of laundry treatment apparatuses such as a pulsator washing machine, a washer-dryer, and a mother-daughter machine.

[0036] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms indicating directions or positional relationships such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is only for convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a schematic structure of the cabinet of a drum washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention Figure 1 , Figure 2 is Figure 1 an enlarged schematic view of part A in Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in

[0038] Obviously, the sound insulation component can also be set in other shapes, such as square. Those skilled in the art can flexibly select the shape of the sound insulation component according to the specific application scenario, as long as the sound insulation cavity formed by the sound insulation component abutting against the ground can surround the opening.

[0039] It can be understood that the sound insulation component can be a sound insulation member in the shape of a rectangle integrally formed to match the bottom of the cabinet, or can be composed of multiple sheet-shaped sound insulation members connected to each other. For example, a rectangle structure matching the bottom of the cabinet is formed by enclosing four strip-shaped sheet structures connected in pairs, or formed by enclosing two L-shaped sheet structures. It can also be other structures, which are preferably convenient for transportation and storage.

[0040] For example, the sound insulation member can be a material with a certain stiffness, such as foam. The sound insulation component composed of foam is directly connected to the driving mechanism, and can move downward under the driving action of the driving mechanism to abut against the ground and move upward to be suspended relative to the ground. This foam can be taken from the bottom lining on the packaging of the washing machine, and the bottom lining is adapted to the size of the opening. This application method can achieve the purpose of recycling waste.

[0041] For another example, the sound insulation member can also be an elastic material, such as a foam strip. The sound insulation component composed of foam is directly connected to the driving mechanism, and can move downward under the driving action of the driving mechanism to abut against the ground and can be compressed and deformed, so as to better block noise in the drum washing machine.

[0042] Obviously, the sound insulation member can also be other types of materials. Those skilled in the art can flexibly select the type of material of the sound insulation member according to the specific application scenario, as long as a sound insulation cavity can be formed when the sound insulation component abuts against the ground and can rise under the driving of the driving mechanism to be suspended relative to the ground.

[0043] However, materials with poor stiffness such as foam strips directly connected to the driving mechanism cannot move up and down well with the driving mechanism. For example, when the driving mechanism moves upward, some foam strips may move upward while some foam strips sag and abut against the ground. This requires fixing the foam strips on a connection structure connected to the driving mechanism first, and driving the connection structure to move up and down by the driving mechanism, thereby driving the foam strips to move up and down. In this way, the foam strips can be set on the cabinet in a liftable manner better. Obviously, materials with better stiffness can also be fixed on a connection structure connected to the driving mechanism first. Those skilled in the art can flexibly select the connection method between the sound insulation component and the driving mechanism according to the specific application scenario to adapt to more specific application occasions.

[0044] The following takes the sound insulation unit including a connection component as an example to describe possible implementation manners of the sound insulation component of the present invention.

[0045] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The sound insulation unit 2 includes a connecting component 23, one side of the connecting component 23 is connected to the driving mechanism 22, and the other side is connected to the sound insulation component 21. The driving mechanism 22 drives the connecting component 23, and then drives the sound insulation component 21 to move up and down, so that the sound insulation component can be raised and lowered on the box. It can be seen that the connecting component 23 is composed of four long sheet structures 231 as connecting structures. The four sheet structures 231 are connected in pairs and surrounded to form a rectangular structure that matches the bottom of the box 1; the sound insulation component 21 is also composed of four strip-shaped sound insulation components 211 connected in pairs and surrounded to form a rectangular structure that matches the connecting component 23. The sheet structures correspond to the sound insulation components one by one, that is, one sound insulation component is connected to one connecting structure.

[0046] It is understandable that the connection assembly can also be an integrally formed rectangular connection structure that matches the bottom of the box, or it can be formed by connecting multiple sheet structures of other shapes, such as being surrounded by two L-shaped sheet structures, or it can be other structures (such as two long metal pieces arranged at the bottom of the drum washing machine in a packaged state) for easy transportation and storage. It is also understandable that the connection structure and the sound insulation component may not correspond one to one, such as an L-shaped connection structure corresponding to two long sound insulation components. Obviously, those skilled in the art can flexibly select the setting method of the connection structure and the sound insulation component according to the specific application scenario, so as to adapt to more specific application scenarios.

[0047] The driving mechanism of the present invention includes at least one driving member so as to better realize the up and down movement of the sound insulation assembly. Figure 2 As shown, the middle parts of the two relatively arranged left and right connecting structures of the connecting assembly 23 (rectangle) are respectively connected to a driving member. The driving member 22 includes a cylinder 221 and a movable rod 222. The movable rod 222 can move up and down. The cylinder 221 is set as a single-acting cylinder. An air intake pipeline is set on the cylinder 221 to feed gas and generate pressure to move the movable rod downward. Furthermore, an elastic member (not shown in the figure) is also arranged in the cylinder, such as a compression spring. When the drum washing machine is not running, the drum washing machine is powered off and stops feeding gas into the cylinder, that is, the pressure in the cylinder is reduced to atmospheric pressure. At this time, the movable rod moves upward with the help of the elastic force of the elastic member itself.

[0048] It should be noted that the middle part of each connecting structure is slightly arched upward and is not connected to the sound insulation component. This is so that when the sound insulation component is in contact with the ground, the movable rod connected to the middle part of the connecting structure presses the connecting structure downward, and the connecting structure can distribute the force it receives more evenly to various parts of the sound insulation component.

[0049] like Figure 2as shown and in accordance with Figure 2 In the orientation shown in Figure 2 , the upper surfaces of the four sheet-like structures 231 are connected to the movable rod 222, and the lower surfaces thereof are in contact with the strip-shaped sound insulation member 211. The up and down movement of the movable rod 22 drives the up and down movement of the sheet-like structure 231, and further drives the up and down movement of the sound insulation member 211.

[0050] With such a setting, in the case where the drum washing machine is operating normally, gas is input into the cylinder to generate pressure, causing the movable rod to move downward, and further driving the connection structure and the sound insulation member to move downward until the sound insulation member abuts against the ground, thereby forming a sound insulation cavity to block the transmission of noise to the outside; in the case where the drum washing machine is not operating, the gas input into the cylinder is stopped, the pressure in the cylinder weakens to the atmospheric pressure, and the compressed elastic member recovers under its own elastic force and drives the movable rod to move upward, and further drives the connection structure and the sound insulation member to move upward, so that the sound insulation member is suspended relative to the ground.

[0051] Alternatively, the cylinder can also be set as a double-acting cylinder, that is, two chambers (rod chamber and rodless chamber) are provided in the cylinder. When the rodless chamber intakes air and the rod chamber exhausts air, the pressure difference between the two chambers in the cylinder acts on the movable rod to make the movable rod move downward; when the rod chamber intakes air and the rodless chamber exhausts air, the pressure difference between the two chambers makes the movable rod move upward, and the rodless chamber and the rod chamber intake and exhaust air alternately, causing the movable rod to perform a reciprocating linear motion.

[0052] It can be understood that the above cylinder can also be set as a hydraulic cylinder, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select the setting method of the cylinder according to the specific application scenario to adapt to more specific application occasions.

[0053] Obviously, the driving member can also be other setting methods, such as a driving member composed of a motor and a rack and pinion. Those skilled in the art can flexibly select the setting method of the driving member according to the specific application scenario, as long as the movable rod can perform a reciprocating linear motion.

[0054] In a possible implementation manner, the drum washing machine of the present invention further includes a first controller. In the case where there are multiple driving members, the first controller controls the multiple driving members to run synchronously, so as to better arrange the sound insulation assembly on the box body in a liftable manner. For example, three driving members are provided, which are respectively distributed in three orientations (such as the left side, the right side, and the rear as shown in Figure 2 In the case where the drum washing machine is operating normally, the first controller controls the movable rods of the three driving members to move downward at the same speed, and further drives the sound insulation assembly to move downward smoothly, avoiding noises generated by friction with the box body due to uneven forces on each part of the sound insulation assembly.

[0055] In a possible implementation, multiple driving members are evenly or unevenly distributed along the circumference of the opening so as to better drive the sound insulation component to move. For example, the connecting component is square, such as one driving member is provided on each of the four sides, or one driving member is provided on one side and two driving members are provided on the opposite side, etc. Obviously, those skilled in the art can set the number, distribution density, etc. of the driving members according to the specific application scenario, such as the shape, size, weight, etc. of the connecting component and the sound insulation component. If the connecting component and the sound insulation component are set as a square structure with a relatively light weight, two driving members arranged oppositely can meet the usage requirements. If the connecting component and the sound insulation component are set as a circular structure with a relatively heavy weight, two groups of driving members arranged oppositely need to be set. When selecting the specific arrangement mode of the driving members, it should be based on meeting the actual usage requirements.

[0056] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 is a schematic structure of the cabinet of a drum washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention Figure 2 , Figure 4 is Figure 3 an enlarged schematic view of the partial B in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown and according to the orientation shown in Figure 4 ,at least a part of the cabinet 1 extends downward along the circumference of the opening to form a flanging 11 as a docking structure. In the assembled state, the flanging 11 abuts against the sound insulation member 211 so as to seal the gap between the sound insulation unit 2 and the bottom of the cabinet 1. In this way, when the sound insulation component 2 abuts against the ground at the installation position, the sound insulation member 211 moves downward. At this time, the outer surface of the flanging 11 fits more closely with the sound insulation member 211, thus forming a more airtight sound insulation cavity at the bottom of the cabinet, so as to better block the operation noise of the laundry handling device from being transmitted to the outside, effectively improving the user experience.

[0057] Alternatively, the docking structure can also be an elastic structure provided between the connecting structure and the cabinet bracket, and the elastic structure is stretched when the connecting structure moves downward and returns to its original state when the connecting structure moves upward. It can be understood that the docking structure can also be other setting methods, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select according to the specific application scenario as long as the gap between the sound insulation unit and the bottom of the cabinet can be sealed.

[0058] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 is a schematic structure of the cabinet of a drum washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention Figure 3 , Figure 6 isFigure 5 An enlarged schematic view of the local part C. As Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the driving mechanism further includes a mounting member 24 arranged in a Z-shaped structure. A reinforcing member 12 is provided at the bottom of the box body 1. A screw hole 241 is provided at the lower end of the mounting member 24. A connecting member (such as a bolt) sequentially passes through the mounting member 24 and the reinforcing member 12 to realize the fixed connection between the two. A clamping position is provided at the upper end. The outer wall of the air cylinder 221 is clamped in the clamping position and fixedly connected to the mounting member, so as to fixedly arrange the driving mechanism on the box body 1.

[0059] It can be understood that the end of the mounting member close to the air cylinder can also be set as a clamp, or other setting methods. It can also be understood that the mounting member can also be integrally formed with the box body, or the mounting member is integrally formed with the air cylinder. Those skilled in the art can flexibly select the setting method of the mounting member according to the specific application scenario, as long as the mounting member can be fixedly arranged on the box body.

[0060] In a possible implementation manner, the drum washing machine is further configured with a humidity sensor. The humidity detection device includes a second controller and a detection member arranged at the bottom of the box body, so as to detect the humidity of the ground through the detection member. During the normal operation of the laundry treatment device, the humidity of the ground detected by the detection member is certain. Even if the air humidity changes, the change range of the detected humidity is small. If it is detected that the ground humidity suddenly increases significantly, it means that there is water on the ground, and the sound insulation component in contact with the ground is wetted. To avoid the risk of electric shock, the power supply of the drum washing machine can be cut off by the second controller; after cutting off the power supply of the drum washing machine, since the gas supply to the air cylinder has stopped, the pressure in the air cylinder weakens to the atmospheric pressure, and the movable rod moves upward under the action of the elastic member, thereby driving the sound insulation component to move upward, so that the sound insulation component is suspended relative to the ground to avoid being wetted or polluted.

[0061] It should be noted that the control process of the above-mentioned first controller controlling the synchronous operation of multiple driving members and the second controller cutting off the power supply of the drum washing machine according to the instruction can also be realized by two different control programs respectively executed by the control unit in the drum washing machine. Those skilled in the art can flexibly select according to the specific application scenario.

[0062] In summary, in the preferred technical solution of the present invention, by being connected to the driving mechanism, the sound insulation member can be arranged on the cabinet in a liftable manner, so that when the drum washing machine is operating normally, the sound insulation member can be in contact with the ground to form a sound insulation cavity, thereby blocking the transmission of the operating noise of the drum washing machine to the outside; when the drum washing machine is not operating, the sound insulation member can be suspended relative to the ground. By connecting one side of the connecting component to the driving mechanism and the other side to the sound insulation component, the sound insulation component can be better arranged on the cabinet in a liftable manner. By arranging the docking structure at the bottom of the cabinet to abut against at least a part of the sound insulation unit, the gap between the sound insulation unit and the bottom of the cabinet can be sealed, so that the noise can be better blocked when the sound insulation component is in contact with the ground.

[0063] So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
