Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In urban life, residential space is limited, and everyone wants to maximize the use of space. Washing machines are large household appliances, and many people choose to put them in the bathroom. Currently, pulsator washing machines are affected by the barrel structure, and the lid is opened from the top. A high space needs to be reserved on the top for opening and closing the lid. They cannot be embedded in home decoration, cabinets, walls or cabinets like drum washing machines, and better integrated into the integrated design of home decoration. This not only affects the beauty of the interior, but also takes up a large indoor area.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN201620865066.1 discloses a push-pull washing machine, which includes a cabinet body and a washing machine arranged inside the cabinet body. Cabinet slide rails are arranged on the bottom surface of the cabinet body. A connecting frame is fixed on the washing machine, and the connecting frame is slidably connected to the cabinet slide rails. A handle is provided on the washing machine.

[0004] Although the push-pull washing machine in the above-mentioned solution is installed in the cabinet, the washing machine can be pulled out via the slide rails after the cabinet door is opened, and it takes up little space. However, there is no sliding and supporting device at the bottom of the washing machine. After the washing machine is separated from the cabinet by a certain distance, the slide rails need to bear the heavy weight of the washing machine. Long-term sliding will cause the slide rails to bend under force and accelerate the wear of the slide rails, which is not only inconvenient to push and pull the washing machine, but also reduces the life of the washing machine. Furthermore, after the washing machine is separated from the cabinet by a certain distance, manual force is required to lift the washing machine until it is aligned with the direction of the slide rails. After that, when pushing the washing machine into the cabinet, it is not convenient for the user to operate, and there is a possibility that the washing machine and the slide rails will collide, which accelerates the damage to the slide rails.

[0005] In view of the above technical deficiencies, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a push-pull type clothes processing device having buffering and supporting functions in the process of pushing and pulling the clothes processing unit.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0008] A push-pull type clothes processing device, comprising:

[0009] laundry processing unit;

[0010] The housing has an opening on its front side wall for pushing the clothes processing unit into or pulling it out of the housing through the opening, and the housing and the clothes processing unit are movably connected;

[0011] The first sliding portion is installed on the front side of the bottom of the clothes processing unit and is used to contact the ground when pushing or pulling the clothes processing unit, so as to slide and support the clothes processing unit.

[0012] By adopting the above solution, the push-pull type clothes processing device reduces the space occupied by the upper part, changes the opening method of the traditional pulsator type clothes processing device, and is more conducive to the pulsator type clothes processing device being embedded in home decoration or cabinets like the drum type clothes processing device, making the pulsator type clothes processing device more suitable for the integrated design of home decoration; in addition, in the process of pushing and pulling the clothes processing unit, the first sliding part contacts and slides with the ground, which can not only support the clothes processing unit, but also assist the movement of the clothes processing unit.

[0013] Furthermore, a front panel is installed on the front side of the clothes processing unit, which is used to block the opening after the clothes processing unit is pushed into the shell;

[0014] The first sliding portion is mounted on the bottom of the front panel;

[0015] Preferably, there are at least two first sliding parts, which are installed on the left and right sides of the front panel.

[0016] By adopting the above solution, the first sliding part can contact the ground to the greatest extent, playing the role of supporting the clothing processing unit. According to the principle of leverage, the first sliding part is located at the front end of the clothing processing unit, which can maximize the torque and minimize the force borne by the first sliding part. This not only facilitates the sliding of the first sliding part, but also reduces the wear rate of the first sliding part, increases the service life of the first sliding part, and reduces the user's living costs.

[0017] Furthermore, the laundry processing unit has the following two states:

[0018] In a first state, the laundry processing unit is located inside the housing, and the first sliding portion is located above the ground and does not contact the bottom surface;

[0019] In the second state, a portion of the laundry processing unit is located outside the housing, and the first sliding portion is in contact with the ground.

[0020] By adopting the above solution, the clothes processing unit can be prevented from being pushed into the shell, and the first sliding part can be prevented from sliding on the ground, thereby improving the stability of the clothes processing unit state and further improving the overall stability of the clothes processing device.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a slide rail assembly installed at the bottom of the housing;

[0022] The slide rail assembly includes:

[0023] A mounting plate is mounted on the bottom of the housing, located on the left and right sides of the housing, and extends rearward from the opening;

[0024] a supporting portion, mounted on one end of the mounting plate facing the opening, and configured to support the laundry processing unit;

[0025] The guide rail is mounted on the mounting plate and extends rearward from one end of the mounting plate close to the supporting portion.

[0026] By adopting this solution, the support portion acts as a fulcrum in a lever during the movement of the laundry handling unit. The laundry handling unit can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise around the support portion, causing the first sliding portion to gradually contact or separate from the ground. This prevents the first sliding portion from significantly impacting the ground, and prevents the laundry handling unit from significantly impacting the slide rail assembly, thereby protecting the various components of the laundry handling device. Furthermore, the support portion supports the laundry handling unit, preventing the excessive weight of the laundry handling unit, separated from the housing, from squeezing the guide rails during pushing and pulling, thereby damaging the guide rails and reducing the sliding effect.

[0027] Furthermore, the mounting plate includes:

[0028] a first plate, mounted on the bottom of the housing and extending rearward from the opening of the housing;

[0029] A second plate is installed above the first plate and extends rearward from the opening of the shell; the first plate and the second plate are fixedly connected at one end facing the opening;

[0030] The guide rail is installed on the upper surface of the second plate.

[0031] Furthermore, the slide rail assembly further includes a buffer device installed between the first plate and the second plate and located at the other end of the first plate and the second plate;

[0032] Preferably, a groove for accommodating the buffer device is provided on one side of the first plate and the second plate that is opposite to the plate surface, and the buffer device is installed in the groove.

[0033] By adopting the above solution, the mounting plate is composed of two plates, with a buffer device disposed between the two plates. This provides a buffering effect during the pushing and pulling of the laundry treatment unit, reducing the degree of collision between the laundry treatment unit and the guide rails, the mounting plate, and the ground, thereby protecting the laundry treatment device and the ground. Furthermore, the buffer device is mounted within the grooves between the first and second plates, concealing the buffer device and preventing it from being too high, causing the rear side of the second plate to be higher than the front side, resulting in an unstable position and affecting the stability and normal operation of the laundry treatment unit.

[0034] Furthermore, the slide rail assembly further includes a vibration damping device mounted on the mounting plate;

[0035] Preferably, the vibration damping device includes a vibration damping plate, and the vibration damping plate is installed on two opposite plate surfaces of the first plate and the second plate.

[0036] By adopting the above solution, the vibration damping device can achieve a vibration-absorbing effect, thereby reducing vibration during the operation of the laundry processing unit. In addition, the vibration-absorbing plate and the buffer device are both installed between the first plate and the second plate, and the two assist each other to achieve a dual vibration-absorbing and buffering effect.

[0037] Furthermore, the support portion includes:

[0038] a bracket, mounted on one end of the mounting plate facing the opening;

[0039] The rotating unit is mounted on the bracket, the rotating unit is in rotational contact with the bottom surface of the clothes processing unit, and is used to cooperate with the bracket to support the clothes processing unit.

[0040] By adopting the above solution, the support portion can support the clothes processing unit, and the rotating unit is in rotational contact with the bottom surface of the clothes processing unit, which can reduce friction and facilitate pushing and pulling of the clothes processing unit.

[0041] Furthermore, it also includes a second sliding part, which matches the guide rail and is installed on the left rear side and the right rear side of the bottom of the clothing processing unit, for cooperating with the guide rail to push the clothing processing unit into the shell or pull it out of the shell.

[0042] Furthermore, the guide rail is in an I-shape, the middle portion of the I-shaped guide rail is a vertical plate structure, and the plate surface of the vertical plate structure faces the left and right sides of the shell;

[0043] The vertical plate is provided with long holes passing through both sides of the vertical plate along the movement track of the second sliding part. The second sliding part passes through the long holes and moves along the length direction of the long holes.

[0044] By adopting the above solution, the second sliding portion cooperates with the guide rail to push the clothing handling unit into or pull it out of the housing, and the first sliding portion and the support portion assist in sliding and supporting it, thereby improving the movement of the clothing handling unit and making the movement of the clothing handling unit more flexible and convenient. In addition, the second sliding portion extends through the elongated hole in the guide rail to prevent the second sliding portion from separating from the guide rail. The second sliding portion can be limited in the direction of movement and the vertical direction of the second sliding portion, thereby ensuring the connection between the second sliding portion and the guide rail.

[0045] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0046] 1. The push-pull type clothes processing device of the present invention reduces the space occupied by the upper part and reduces the requirement for placement space. It can be placed in a wider range of locations, such as under or above a wash basin, or on a wall shelf, etc. It changes the opening method of the traditional pulsator type clothes processing device, which is more conducive to the pulsator type clothes processing device being embedded in home decoration or cabinets like the drum type clothes processing device, making the pulsator type clothes processing device more suitable for the integrated design of home decoration.

[0047] 2. When pushing or pulling the laundry treatment unit, the first sliding portion can slide with maximum contact with the ground, minimizing the force borne by the first sliding portion. This not only supports the laundry treatment unit but also assists its movement, facilitating the sliding of the first sliding portion, reducing wear on the first sliding portion, and extending its lifespan, thereby reducing the user's cost of living. Furthermore, the weight of the portion of the laundry treatment unit that is removed from the housing reduces the degree of damage to the guide rails and mounting plate caused by the weight of the portion of the laundry treatment unit that is removed from the housing. The user can push the laundry treatment unit into the housing without exerting force to lift it, making it easier for the user to operate.

[0048] 3. When the clothing processing unit is located inside the shell, the first sliding part does not contact the bottom surface, preventing the first sliding part from contacting the ground and sliding, thereby improving the stability of the clothing processing unit and further improving the overall stability of the clothing processing device; when part of the clothing processing unit is located outside the shell, the first sliding part contacts the ground, which can support and assist the sliding of the clothing processing unit.

[0049] 4. The support portion acts as a fulcrum in a lever during the movement of the laundry handling unit. The laundry handling unit can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise around the support portion, causing the first sliding portion to gradually contact or separate from the ground. This prevents the first sliding portion from significantly impacting the ground, and the laundry handling unit from significantly impacting the slide rail assembly, thereby protecting the various components of the laundry handling device. Furthermore, the support portion supports the laundry handling unit, preventing the excessive weight of the laundry handling unit, when separated from the housing, from squeezing the guide rails during pushing and pulling, thereby damaging the guide rails and reducing the sliding effect.

[0050] 5. The second sliding part cooperates with the guide rail to push the clothing processing unit into the shell or pull it out of the shell. The second sliding part passes through the long hole of the guide rail to prevent the second sliding part from separating from the guide rail. The second sliding part can be limited in the movement direction and vertical direction of the second sliding part to ensure the connection effect between the second sliding part and the guide rail.

[0051] 6. The mounting plate consists of two plates, with a buffer and a vibration damping device installed between them. This provides a buffer and vibration damping effect during the pushing and pulling of the laundry handling unit, reducing the degree of collision between the laundry handling unit and the guide rails, the mounting plate, and the ground, thereby protecting the laundry handling equipment and the ground. Furthermore, the buffer is installed within the grooves between the first and second plates, concealing the buffer and preventing it from being too high, causing the rear side of the second plate to be higher than the front side, and thus placing the laundry handling unit in an unstable state within the housing, affecting its smooth and normal operation. Furthermore, the vibration damping device provides a shock-absorbing effect, reducing vibration during the operation of the laundry handling unit.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0065] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention is a push-pull type clothing processing device, comprising: a clothing processing unit 2; a shell 1, a front side wall of which is provided with an opening, for pushing the clothing processing unit 2 into the shell 1 from the opening or pulling it out from the shell 1, the shell 1 and the clothing processing unit 2 being movably connected; a first sliding portion 2211, installed on the front side of the bottom of the clothing processing unit 2, for contacting the ground when pushing and pulling the clothing processing unit 2, thereby playing the role of sliding and supporting the clothing processing unit 2.

[0066] The housing 1 is a home cabinet or a cabinet body, or is the outer shell of the push-pull type clothes processing device itself, and the push-pull type clothes processing device is placed in the cabinet or the cabinet body as a whole.

[0067] A control panel is provided on the front side of the housing 1 and is located above the opening.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper portion of the laundry processing unit 2 is provided with a loading port 23 for loading the laundry to be processed. The laundry processing unit 2 is provided with a support frame or a box outside for supporting the laundry processing unit 2. The laundry processing unit 2 is a pulsator washing device or a drying device, and the pulsator washing device is a pulsator washing machine or a pulsator shoe washing machine.

[0069] As an implementation scheme, Figure 2 As shown, the clothes processing unit 2 is a pulsator washing machine, which includes an outer tub 22 and an inner tub 21 rotatably arranged in the outer tub 22 , and the outer tub 22 is installed in a support frame or a box.

[0070] The push-pull type clothes processing device of the present invention pulls out the clothes processing unit 2 from the side of the shell 1, which reduces the space occupied by the upper part and lowers the requirements for placement space. It can be placed in a wider range of positions and changes the opening method of the traditional pulsator type clothes processing device. It is more conducive to the pulsator type clothes processing device being embedded in home decoration or cabinets like the drum type clothes processing device, making the pulsator type clothes processing device more suitable for the integrated design of home decoration.

[0071] During the process of pushing and pulling the clothes processing unit 2 , the first sliding portion 2211 contacts and slides on the ground, which can not only support the clothes processing unit 2 but also assist the movement of the clothes processing unit 2 .

[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a front panel 221 is installed on the front side of the clothing processing unit 2 for sealing the opening after the clothing processing unit 2 is pushed into the interior of the shell 1 ; the first sliding portion 2211 is installed at the bottom of the front panel 221 .

[0073] The front panel 221 is installed on the front side of the support frame or the box body, and the first sliding parts 2211 are provided with at least two, which are installed on the left and right sides of the front panel 221, thereby increasing the contact area between the first sliding part 2211 and the ground, thereby improving the sliding effect of the clothing processing unit 2 on the ground.

[0074] When the laundry processing unit 2 is completely pushed into the housing 1 , the front panel 221 and the first sliding portion 2211 are located outside the housing 1 .

[0075] Furthermore, the first sliding portion 2211 is a pulley structure.

[0076] The first sliding portion 2211 of the present invention is installed on the front side of the clothing processing unit 2, and can contact the ground to the greatest extent, thereby supporting the clothing processing unit 2. According to the principle of lever, the first sliding portion 2211 is located at the front end of the clothing processing unit 2, and can maximize the torque, so that the force borne by the first sliding portion 2211 is minimized, which not only facilitates the sliding of the first sliding portion 2211, but also reduces the wear rate of the first sliding portion 2211, increases the service life of the first sliding portion 2211, and reduces the user's living costs.

[0077] The laundry processing unit 2 has the following two states: a first state, such as Figure 1 As shown, the laundry processing unit 2 is located inside the housing 1, and the first sliding portion 2211 is located above the ground and does not contact the bottom surface; in the second state, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, part of the clothes processing unit 2 is located outside the housing 1, and the first sliding portion 2211 is in contact with the ground.

[0078] The arrangement of the first sliding portion 2211 of the present invention can prevent the first sliding portion 2211 from sliding on the ground after the clothing processing unit 2 is pushed into the shell 1, thereby improving the stability of the clothing processing unit 2 and further improving the overall stability of the clothing processing device.

[0079] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the push-pull type clothing processing device of the present invention also includes a slide rail assembly 3, which is installed at the bottom of the shell 1; the slide rail assembly 3 includes a mounting plate 31, which is installed at the bottom of the shell 1, located on the left and right sides of the shell 1, and extending backward from the opening; a support portion 32, which is installed at one end of the mounting plate 31 facing the opening, and is used to support the clothing processing unit 2; a guide rail 33, which is installed on the mounting plate 31, and extends backward from one end of the mounting plate 31 close to the support portion 32.

[0080] like Figure 3 As shown, the middle portion of the bottom of the housing 1 is recessed downward to close to the ground, and the slide rail assembly 3 is installed on the left and right sides of the recess, close to the edge of the recess.

[0081] Four feet 12 are provided on the outside of the bottom of the shell 1 at the left front, left rear, right front and right rear positions for supporting the shell 1. The feet 12 are provided close to the recess and are located on the left and right sides of the recess respectively.

[0082] The mounting plate 31 is mounted on the bottom wall 11 in the housing 1 and is screwed to the housing 1. The mounting plate 31 and the guide rail 33 extend rearwards to a position close to the rear wall of the housing 1.

[0083] The support portion 32 of the present invention acts as a fulcrum in a lever during the movement of the laundry processing unit 2. The laundry processing unit 2 can rotate clockwise and counterclockwise around the support portion 32, causing the first sliding portion 2211 to gradually contact or separate from the ground. This prevents the first sliding portion 2211 from significantly impacting the ground, and prevents the laundry processing unit 2 from significantly impacting the slide rail assembly 3, thereby protecting the various components of the laundry processing device. Furthermore, the support portion 32 supports the laundry processing unit 2, preventing the excessive weight of the laundry processing unit 2, which is separated from the housing 1, from squeezing the guide rail 33 during the push-pull process, thereby damaging the guide rail 33 and reducing the sliding effect.

[0084] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting plate 31 includes a first plate 311, which is installed at the bottom of the shell 1 and extends backward from the opening of the shell 1; a second plate 312, which is installed above the first plate 311 and extends backward from the opening of the shell 1; the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 are fixedly connected at one end facing the opening; and the guide rail 33 is installed on the upper plate surface of the second plate 312.

[0085] The first plate 311 is installed on the bottom wall 11 of the shell 1, extending backward from the opening of the shell 1 to the rear wall near the shell 1, and one end of the second plate 312 facing the opening is fixedly connected to the first plate 311, and the other end extends along the upper surface of the first plate 311 to the rear wall of the shell 1.

[0086] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the slide rail assembly 3 further includes a buffer device, which is installed between the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 and is located at the other end of the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 .

[0087] As an embodiment, the buffer device includes an elastic member 34. Preferably, the elastic member 34 is a spring, and the spring is clamped between the two plates.

[0088] Furthermore, a groove 35 for accommodating the buffer device is provided on one side of the first plate 311 and the second plate 312 that is opposite to each other, and the buffer device is installed in the groove 35 .

[0089] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the shape of the groove 35 matches the shape of the buffer device. When the buffer device is at its maximum compression level, the groove 35 can completely cover the buffer device, and the mounting plate 31 is horizontal. When the buffer device is not at its maximum compression level, the buffer device lifts up the second plate 312, and the mounting plate 31 is shaped like a slide with one end higher.

[0090] The mounting plate 31 of the present invention is composed of two plates, with a buffer device disposed between the two plates. This provides a buffering effect during the pushing and pulling of the laundry processing unit 2, reducing the degree of collision between the laundry processing unit 2 and the guide rails 33, the mounting plate 31, and the ground, thereby protecting the laundry processing equipment and the ground. Furthermore, the buffer device is mounted within the groove 35 between the first plate 311 and the second plate 312, concealing the buffer device and preventing it from being raised too high, causing the rear side of the second plate 312 to be higher than the front side, resulting in an unstable position. This would then affect the stable and normal operation of the laundry processing unit 2.

[0091] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the slide rail assembly 3 also includes a vibration damping device, which is installed on the mounting plate 31; preferably, the vibration damping device includes a vibration damping plate 36, which is installed on the two opposite plate surfaces of the first plate 311 and the second plate 312.

[0092] Two damping plates 36 are provided, extending rearward from one end near the connection between the first plate 311 and the second plate 312, and embedded in the opposing surfaces of the first plate 311 and the second plate 312. The opposing surfaces of the two damping plates 36 are horizontal. The grooves 35 are provided on each of the two damping plates 36, with the notches facing each other. One end of the elastic member 34 is fixedly connected to the upper damping plate 36, and the other end is fixedly connected to the lower damping plate 36. When the elastic member 34 is at its maximum compression, half of it is located in the lower groove 35, and the other half is located in the upper groove 35.

[0093] As one of the solutions, the shock absorbing plate 36 is made of silicone material.

[0094] The vibration damping device of the present invention can achieve a vibration-damping effect, reducing vibration during the operation of the laundry processing unit 2. In addition, the vibration-damping plate 36 and the buffer device are both installed between the first plate 311 and the second plate 312, and the two assist each other to achieve a dual vibration-damping and buffering effect.

[0095] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the support portion 32 includes a bracket 321, which is installed at one end of the mounting plate 31 facing the opening; a rotating unit 322, which is installed on the bracket 321, and the rotating unit 322 is in rotational contact with the bottom surface of the clothing processing unit 2, and is used to cooperate with the bracket 321 to support the clothing processing unit 2.

[0096] The bracket 321 includes pillars extending upward from the left and right sides of the first plate 311 toward one open end, and a shaft located between the two pillars to connect the two pillars. The rotating unit 322 is mounted on the shaft. The rotating unit 322 has a roller structure or a sleeve structure.

[0097] As an implementation scheme, the rotating unit 322 is a sleeve structure, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the insertion shaft. The outer periphery of the sleeve is smooth, and the bottom surface of the clothing processing unit 2 is a smooth surface.

[0098] The support portion 32 of the present invention can support the clothing processing unit 2 , and the rotating unit 322 is in rotational contact with the bottom surface of the clothing processing unit 2 , which can reduce friction and facilitate the pushing and pulling of the clothing processing unit 2 .

[0099] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the push-pull type clothing processing device of the present invention also includes a second sliding portion 222, which matches the guide rail 33 and is installed on the left rear side and the right rear side of the bottom of the clothing processing unit 2, and is used to cooperate with the guide rail 33 to push the clothing processing unit 2 into the shell 1 or pull it out of the shell 1.

[0100] like Figure 3 As shown, two flanges are respectively provided on the left rear side and the right rear side of the bottom of the clothing processing unit 2, and both ends of the second sliding part 222 are respectively connected to the two flanges, and the second sliding part 222 is installed between the two flanges.

[0101] The second sliding portion 222 is a rotating structure, which moves along the guide rail 33 to drive the clothing processing unit 2 to move.

[0102] The guide rail 33 is I-shaped, with a vertical plate structure in the middle. The vertical plate faces the left and right sides of the housing 1. The second sliding portion 222 includes a rotating wheel, which is mounted in a slot on both sides of the I-shaped guide rail 33. The central axis of the rotating wheel is mounted on the flange.

[0103] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, the vertical plate is provided with long holes 331 passing through the left and right sides of the vertical plate along the movement trajectory of the second sliding part 222, which are used to limit the second sliding part 222; the second sliding part 222 passes through the long holes 331 and moves along the length direction of the long holes 331.

[0104] The second sliding portion 222 is dumbbell-shaped and is formed by connecting two rotating wheels via a connecting shaft. The connecting shaft passes through the elongated hole 331 and is connected to the two rotating wheels at both ends. The two rotating wheels are respectively mounted in the slots on both sides of the I-shaped guide rail 33 and move along the guide rail 33.

[0105] The diameter of the rotating wheel is greater than the vertical length of the elongated hole 331 , so that the rotating wheel cannot escape from the elongated hole 331 .

[0106] The second sliding portion 222 of the present invention cooperates with the guide rail 33 to push the laundry processing unit 2 into or pull it out of the housing 1. The first sliding portion 2211 and the support portion 32 assist in sliding and supporting the laundry processing unit 2, thereby improving the movement of the laundry processing unit 2 and making the movement of the laundry processing unit 2 more flexible and convenient. In addition, the second sliding portion 222 extends through the elongated hole 331 of the guide rail 33, preventing the second sliding portion 222 from separating from the guide rail 33. The second sliding portion 222 can be limited in the direction of movement and the vertical direction of the second sliding portion 222, thereby ensuring the connection between the second sliding portion 222 and the guide rail 33.

[0107] The process of pushing the clothes processing unit 2 into the housing 1 or pulling it out from the housing 1 is controlled by the clothes processing device body or manually operated by the user.

[0108] Working principle: Figure 2 As shown, when the clothing treatment unit 2 is detached from the shell 1, the support portion 32 supports the bottom of the clothing treatment unit 2, and the second sliding portion 222 drives the clothing treatment unit 2 to move forward along the guide rail 33. The clothing treatment unit 2 gradually detaches from the shell 1 and tilts forward and downward. The front load-bearing capacity of the slide rail assembly 3 gradually increases. Due to the limitation of the second sliding portion 222 by the long hole 331, the second sliding portion 222 cannot detach from the guide rail 33, and an upward pulling force is applied to the guide rail 33. The guide rail 33 drives the second plate 312 to move upward, thereby involving the elastic member 34. The elastic member 34 is gradually stretched by the guide rail 33, and the two grooves 35 open. Figure 6 As shown, under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 34, the tail of the second plate 312 cannot move significantly and will slowly move upward. When the clothing processing unit 2 is separated from the shell 1 to a certain extent, the clothing processing unit 2 rotates counterclockwise around the support part 32 with the support part 32 as the fulcrum, and the first sliding part 2211 slowly contacts the ground, supporting the clothing processing unit 2 to continue moving forward along the ground.

[0109] like Figure 2 As shown, when the clothes processing unit 2 is pushed into the shell 1 from the outside, the support part 32 supports the bottom of the clothes processing unit 2, and the second sliding part 222 drives the clothes processing unit 2 to move backward along the guide rail 33. The clothes processing unit 2 gradually slides into the shell 1 and gradually returns to a horizontal state by moving backward. The load-bearing capacity of the rear part of the slide rail assembly 3 gradually increases, and the clothes processing unit 2 presses the second plate 312 downward, thereby squeezing the elastic member 34. The elastic member 34 will gradually shrink, and the two grooves 35 will gradually engage. Under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 34, the tail of the second plate 312 slowly moves downward. When the clothes processing unit 2 is pushed into the shell 1 to a certain extent, the clothes processing unit 2 rotates clockwise around the support part 32 with the support part 32 as the fulcrum. The first sliding part 2211 is separated from the ground, and the clothes processing unit 2 continues to move backward by relying on the second sliding part 222 until it is completely pushed into the shell 1. Figure 5 As shown, the two grooves 35 are completely engaged.
