The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0041] 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.

[0042] 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.

[0043] The clothing processing device of the present invention is used for washing, drying or air-drying clothing, wherein the clothing processing device has a motor and various electromagnetic valves for driving and controlling the operation of the clothing processing device. In addition, the clothing processing device also includes a protective cover with a chamber inside, and the electromagnetic valve and / or the motor are arranged in the chamber of the protective cover, and a liquid collecting device is arranged outside the protective cover. By arranging the electromagnetic valve and / or the motor in the protective cover, the electromagnetic valve is effectively prevented from being corroded by the liquid in the clothing processing device, and at the same time, the motor is prevented from being wetted by the liquid in the clothing processing device to cause the phenomenon of mixed electricity. By arranging the liquid collecting device outside the protective cover, the liquid outside the protective cover can be collected and discharged in a directional manner, so as to avoid the splashing phenomenon caused by the liquid dripping on the protective cover to damage the electromagnetic valve and / or the motor, and at the same time, other components in the clothing processing device can be further protected, and the structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0044] As an embodiment of the present invention, the clothes processing device in the present invention is used for washing, drying or air-drying clothes, such as a washing machine and a dryer, wherein the clothes processing device has a motor and various solenoid valves for driving and controlling the operation of the clothes processing device. Taking a washing machine as an example, Figure 1-Figure 5 and Fig.12 As shown, the washing machine 1 includes a solenoid valve 16 and a motor 15, which are arranged inside the washing machine 1 to control the on / off of the drainage channel or the exhaust and drying channel inside the washing machine 1. There may be droplets inside the washing machine 1 that leak from the outside of the washing machine 1 into the washing machine 1. Further, these droplets may drip on the motor 15 to damage the motor 15 and cause leakage or short circuit; or, drip on the solenoid valve 16 to corrode the solenoid valve 16, which ultimately affects the use of the washing machine 1. The present invention provides a protective cover 2 with a chamber inside the washing machine 1, and the solenoid valve 16 and / or the motor 15 are arranged in the chamber of the protective cover 2 to protect the solenoid valve 16 and / or the motor 15 from being damaged by droplets. As an implementation method of this embodiment: the protective cover 2 includes a shell structure with an open chamber at one end, and the solenoid valve 16 and / or the motor 15 are arranged in the chamber of the protective cover 2 through the opening. As another implementation of this embodiment: the protective cover 2 includes two shell structures with open chambers at one end, the solenoid valve 16 and / or the motor 15 are arranged in the chamber of the protective cover 2 through the opening, and the two shell structures are buckled together, which provides better protection for the solenoid valve 16 and / or the motor 15.

[0045] Furthermore, a liquid collecting device is arranged outside the protective cover 2, and the liquid collecting device is used to collect liquid outside the protective cover 2. Specifically, it is used to collect liquid dripping from the upper part of the clothing processing device, that is, the washing machine 1, to the protective cover 2. In the present invention, by arranging the solenoid valve 16 and / or the motor 15 inside the protective cover 2, the solenoid valve 16 is effectively prevented from being corroded by the liquid in the washing machine. At the same time, it also avoids the occurrence of mixed electricity caused by the motor 15 being wetted by the liquid in the washing machine 1. By arranging the liquid collecting device outside the protective cover 2, the liquid outside the protective cover 2 can be collected in a centralized manner to avoid the splashing phenomenon caused by the liquid dripping on the outer wall surface of the protective cover 2. The provision of the liquid collecting device makes the protective cover 2 better in protecting the solenoid valve 16 and / or the motor 15, and can also further protect other components in the clothing processing device, that is, the washing machine 1.

[0046] like Figure 6-Figure 10 As shown, the protective cover 2 in the present invention includes a shell forming a protective cover chamber, and the shell includes a shell top wall 21 arranged opposite to the top 11 of the washing machine, and the shell top wall 21 directly protects the liquid dripping from the washing machine 1. Specifically, the motor 15 and the solenoid valve 16 are arranged at the bottom 13 of the washing machine, and the motor 15 and the solenoid valve 16 are installed at a position between the loading port 12 and the side 14 of the washing machine. The protective cover 2 covers the outer surface of the motor 15 and the solenoid valve 16 to further protect the motor 15 and the solenoid valve 16. The liquid collecting device includes a groove 3 with an open chamber inside, and the groove 3 is arranged on the shell top wall 21, and the open end 31 is arranged opposite to the top 11 of the washing machine, and is used to receive the liquid dripping from the top 11 of the washing machine and discharge the liquid in a centralized manner.

[0047] Specifically, the groove 3 includes a groove bottom wall 32, and the groove bottom wall 32 is fixedly connected to the shell top wall 21 of the protective cover 2. The connection method includes the groove 3 and the protective cover 2 being integrally formed; or, the groove 3 is snap-connected to the shell top wall 21 of the protective cover 2 through a snap-fit ​​structure, and the installation method is simple.

[0048] Furthermore, the open end 31 of the groove 3 at least covers the shell top wall 21 of the protective cover 2, that is, the open area of ​​the open end 31 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the shell top wall 21. This arrangement ensures that the open end 31 can fully collect the liquid dripping onto the shell top wall 21, and the protective effect is good.

[0049] In the present invention, the groove 3 further includes a peripheral side wall 33 having a certain angle with the groove bottom wall 32, the lower edge of the peripheral side wall 33 is arranged to abut the groove bottom wall 32, and the upper edge of the peripheral side wall 33 forms the open end 31. The peripheral side wall 33 is arranged to expand outward from the lower edge to the upper edge, so that the open area of ​​the open end 31 is larger, and the liquid above the shell top wall 21 is collected in a larger range.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a shell of a washing machine 1 having a joint seam on the upper part, and the joint seam is located on the washing machine table at the top 11 of the washing machine, or on the shell of the side 14 of the washing machine. The motor 15 and the solenoid valve 16 are arranged on the bottom 13 of the washing machine and are located below the joint seam. The liquid collecting device also includes a guide pipe 4, and the guide pipe 4 includes a liquid inlet section 41 and a liquid outlet section 42. The side wall of the guide pipe 4 of the liquid inlet section 41 has an axially arranged guide pipe opening 43 connected to the inside of the guide pipe 4, and the opening side of the guide pipe opening 43 is arranged correspondingly to the joint seam above and below, and the liquid outlet section 42 is connected to the chamber of the liquid collecting device. By setting the guide pipe 4, the liquid leaked from the joint seam of the shell of the washing machine 1 to the inside of the washing machine 1 is collected in a directional manner, which effectively avoids the liquid that penetrates into the washing machine 1 from splashing everywhere, effectively protects the motor 15, the solenoid valve 16 and other structural elements in the washing machine 1, and has a simple structure.

[0051] Preferably, the opening side of the guide duct opening 43 is disposed against the inner wall surface of the outer shell of the washing machine 1. Specifically, the opening side of the guide duct opening 43 is disposed against the inner wall surface of the washing machine top 11 and the washing machine side 14, and the opening side covers the joint seam.

[0052] Furthermore, the inner wall surface of the outer shell of the washing machine 1 has a card groove, and the opening side of the guide pipe opening 43 has a card buckle. The opening side of the guide pipe opening 43 is connected to the inner wall surface of the outer shell of the washing machine 1 through the card buckle. The connection method is simple and it is convenient to disassemble and replace the guide pipe 4.

[0053] like Fig.11As shown, as an embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the groove of the groove 3 of the liquid collecting device has a drain port 34 for discharging the liquid in the chamber of the liquid collecting device, and the bottom of the washing machine 1 also has a drain pipe 7 for discharging the waste liquid in the washing machine 1, and the drain port 34 is connected with the drain pipe 7, and the liquid collected in the liquid collecting device is discharged to the drain pipe 7 through the drain port 34. As an implementation method of this embodiment, the drain port 34 is connected with the drain pipe 7 through a pipe, and one end of the pipe is connected with the drain port 34. Specifically, the two are connected by threads, the structure is stable, the pipe is not easy to fall out of the drain port 34, and the disassembly and assembly are convenient and quick; the other end of the pipe is connected with the drain pipe 7, including a plug-in or threaded connection. Through the above setting method, if the pipeline is damaged, it can be directly disassembled and replaced, with a simple structure and low cost. As another implementation method of this embodiment, the drain port 34 is connected with the drain pipe through the guide groove 5. Specifically, the protective cover 2 also includes a shell bottom wall 23 that is opposite to the shell top wall 21, and a shell side wall 24 that connects the shell top wall 21 and the shell bottom wall 23. The guide groove 5 is formed by a groove-like structure with openings at both ends arranged on the shell side wall 24 along the shell top wall 21 toward the shell bottom wall 23, one end of the opening is arranged to abut against the drain port 34 of the liquid collecting device, and the other end of the opening is connected to the drain pipe 7 for discharging waste liquid. Preferably, the guide groove 5 is arranged on the side of the protective cover 2 close to the washing machine side 14 and the washing machine bottom 13. This arrangement is more reasonable and the layout is relatively simple.

[0054] As an embodiment of the present invention, the guide groove 5 is a separate component, which is installed on the shell side wall 24. The guide groove 5 is fixed to the shell side wall 24 by screws, or is detachably connected by a snap-on structure. This connection method facilitates the installation and replacement of the guide groove 5. Alternatively, the shell side wall 24 is formed by the outer wall of the shell side wall 24 being recessed in the direction of the chamber of the protective cover 2 to form the guide groove 5, that is, the guide groove 5 is integrally formed by the protective cover 2 body, does not need to be installed separately, has a stable structure, is not easy to be damaged, and simplifies the installation process.

[0055] like Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 1 , as an embodiment of the present invention, the drain port 34 is disposed on the peripheral side wall 33 of the groove bottom of the groove 3, and the drain port 34 is disposed toward the guide groove 5 to discharge the liquid into the guide groove 5. Alternatively, as Fig.10 As shown, the drain port 34 is arranged on the groove bottom wall 32 of the groove 3, and the drain port 34 is connected to the guide groove 5. The above arrangement methods can achieve the purpose of discharging the liquid in the groove 3 to the drain pipe through the guide groove 5, and the structure is relatively simple, providing more options for designers.

[0056] As another embodiment of the present invention, the guide groove 5 is at least partially inclined from the top of the shell of the protective cover 2 to the bottom of the shell. Preferably, the guide groove 5 is inclined from the top of the shell to the bottom of the shell as a whole, and the inclined guide groove 5 can buffer the liquid flowing in the guide groove 5, further effectively preventing liquid from splashing.

[0057] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, as an embodiment of the present invention, the liquid collecting device of the washing machine 1 also includes a liquid level sensing device 6 and an on-off valve. The liquid level sensing device 6 is arranged in the groove 3 of the liquid collecting device. Further, the liquid level sensing device 6 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the peripheral side wall 33 of the groove 3 of the liquid collecting device, and is used to detect the liquid level in the groove 3. The on-off valve is arranged on the drain port 34, and the liquid level sensing device 6 is used to control the on-off of the on-off valve, and the on-off valve is used to control the opening and closing of the drain port 34. When the liquid level in the groove 3 reaches the preset value, the liquid level sensing device 6 controls the on-off valve to open, and further the liquid in the groove 3 is discharged from the drain port 34. This arrangement makes the discharge of the liquid in the groove 3 more reasonable and avoids the liquid in the groove 3 from being discharged at will.

[0058] In the present invention, a limiting ring 22 is provided on the outer wall surface of the protective cover 2, and the annular cross section of the limiting ring 22 is at a certain angle with the outer wall surface of the protective cover 2. The washing machine 1 includes an internal circuit, and the limiting ring 22 is used to limit the internal circuit. Specifically, the limiting ring 22 is integrally formed with the protective cover 2. Alternatively, the limiting ring 22 is a separate individual, and the installation position and the number of installations are selectively adjusted according to different types of washing machines. When the circuits in the clothing processing device, that is, the washing machine 1, are relatively complex, more limiting rings 22 need to be set. If the circuits are relatively simple, fewer limiting rings 22 can meet the needs. Further preferably, the limiting rings 22 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the protective cover 2 so as to achieve uniform distribution of the circuits. Further preferably, the annular cross section of the limiting ring 22 is arranged perpendicular to the outer wall surface of the protective cover 2, and the vertical arrangement method can make it more convenient for the circuit to be clamped in the limiting ring 22.

[0059] In addition, the bottom wall of the housing of the protective cover 2 is also provided with a strip-shaped notch 26, which is used to avoid other structural components in the washing machine 1, or to pass the wires of the motor 15. By arranging the limit ring 22 on the outer wall surface of the protective cover 2, the wires in the washing machine are further arranged, which effectively avoids the accumulation and entanglement of the wires, and improves the safety of the clothes processing device, that is, the washing machine 1. The above production process is simple, low-cost, and suitable for mass production.

[0060] As another embodiment of the present invention, the outer surface of the protective cover 2 of the present invention further has a buckle structure 25, and the washing machine 1 also includes a washing machine body, and the protective cover 2 is detachably connected to the washing machine body through the buckle structure 25. When the protective cover 2 is damaged, it can be disassembled and replaced. In addition, in the present invention, the protective cover 2 and the water collection device can be integrally formed, and different types of integrated protective covers 2 and water collection devices are provided according to different types of washing machines, so as to realize standardized production and improve production efficiency.

[0061] 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.
