Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of clothing processing technology, specifically, it relates to a folded clothing processing device and its connectors. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life, people's awareness of hygiene is constantly improving, and more and more users are washing clothes separately, such as washing underwear and outerwear separately, washing adult clothes and children's clothes separately, or drying the washed clothes. Therefore, a family can no longer meet the needs of users to handle clothes by purchasing a washing machine, and users will further purchase dryers, or the family will have multiple washing machines.

[0003] To save space, users often stack two garment processing devices directly or via mounting brackets. However, this results in loose connections and poor stability between the devices. Therefore, stackable garment processing devices have emerged on the market, which improve the stability of the connections between the devices.

[0004] However, existing integrated folding garment processing equipment includes garment processing devices with separate main control board components and control panel components. Various types of electronic control components are installed inside the garment processing devices. The wires connecting the electronic control components are electrically connected to the main control board components and control panel components to control the electronic control components to perform corresponding functions. However, users need to control the control panel components of the garment processing devices separately to perform corresponding operations, which is cumbersome, results in a poor user experience, and also affects the usable space inside the folding garment processing equipment.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0059] Example 1

[0060] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a connector 3 for a folding garment processing device, comprising: a body 31, horizontally disposed between a first garment processing device 1 and a second garment processing device 2, wherein a threading hole 33 is provided in the middle of the body 31; a first connecting part disposed on the upper part of the body 31 for connecting to the first garment processing device 1 located above; and a second connecting part disposed on the lower part of the body 31 for connecting to the second garment processing device 2 located below.

[0061] In the above scheme, the wire hole 33 is connected to the first clothing processing device 1 and the second clothing processing device 2, and the wire 26 connecting the electronic control component is connected to the control panel assembly 12 through the wire hole 33. This enables the shared control panel assembly 12 to trigger the first clothing processing device 1 and the second clothing processing device 2 to perform corresponding functions, ensuring the stability of the stacked clothing processing equipment, enhancing the user experience, and improving the space utilization rate inside the stacked clothing processing equipment.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting part is connected to the bottom front end of the first clothing processing device 1, and the second connecting part is connected to the top front end of the second clothing processing device 2.

[0063] In the above scheme, the wire hole 33 is connected to the bottom front end of the first clothing processing device 1 and the top front end of the second clothing processing device 2. The wire 26 connecting the electronic control component passes through the wire hole 33, so that the wire 26 is electrically connected to the control panel assembly 12, so that the first clothing processing device 1 and the second clothing processing device 2 can share the control panel assembly 12. The wire hole 33 extends longitudinally to make the wire 26 more orderly arranged, and the internal wiring of the stacked clothing processing equipment is neat and beautiful, avoiding the wire 26 from getting tangled and knotted.

[0064] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting part includes a flange 32 that bends upward from the thread hole 33. The flange 32 is used to be inserted into the bottom front end of the first clothing processing device 1 and clamped and fixed, so that the wire 26 connecting the first clothing processing device 1 to the electronic control component can pass out from the thread hole 33.

[0065] Preferably, the main body 31 has a connection hole 35, and the fastener passes through the connection hole 35 to lock the connector 3 to the first garment processing device 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the connector 3 and the first garment processing device 1.

[0066] More preferably, the body 31 is provided with an upwardly recessed molding 34, and the molding 34 is provided with a connecting hole 35. The molding 34 structure on the body 31 allows one end of the fastener to be embedded in the molding 34, ensuring that the lower side of the body 31 is flatter and achieving a tight fit between the connector 3 and the first clothing processing device 1.

[0067] Preferably, a plurality of axially protruding first reinforcing ribs 36 are formed on the upper side of the body 31 to improve the strength of the connector 3. Moreover, the first reinforcing ribs 36 are simple to process and have significant effects.

[0068] More preferably, at least one first reinforcing rib 36 is connected to the molding 34 to improve the strength of the molding 34 and ensure that the fastener is securely connected to the connector 3 and the front plate.

[0069] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figures 13 to 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting part includes at least one positioning part 37 with varying protrusions, the positioning part 37 being inserted into the top front end of the second clothing processing device 2 and clamped and fixed.

[0070] In the above scheme, the positioning part 37 on the lower side of the main body 31 can realize the limiting cooperation between the connector 3 and the second clothing processing device 2, which is simple in assembly structure and also facilitates the disassembly and separation of the two.

[0071] like Figures 13 to 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the main body 31 has a hollowed-out portion, and the positioning portion 37 includes a support wall 371 that extends horizontally backward from the edge of the hollowed-out portion. The lower side of the support wall 371 has hooks 372 that protrude outward from their respective sides.

[0072] In the above scheme, the hook 372 forms a clamping structure with the second clothing device, and the connector 3 is detachably and fixedly connected to the second clothing device through the clamping structure. The assembly structure is simple, which is conducive to assembly and disassembly and can significantly improve assembly efficiency.

[0073] like Figures 13 to 15As shown, in this embodiment, the hook 372 is wedge-shaped or conical with a larger top and a smaller bottom, and gradually narrows outwards. This is more conducive to forming a stable clamping structure between the hook 372 and the limiting arm 2222, so that the connector 3 and the second clothing processing device 2 can be stably connected.

[0074] like Figures 13 to 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning part 37 is an elastic latching protrusion. The outer peripheral wall of the elastic latching protrusion and the outer peripheral edge of the hollow part have a gap, so that the elastic latching protrusion can better clamp and cooperate with the second clothing processing device 2, and realize the detachable fixed connection between the connector 3 and the second clothing processing device 2.

[0075] Through the connector 3 of the aforementioned folding garment processing equipment, the wire hole 33 is connected to the first garment processing device 1 and the second garment processing device 2. The wire 26 connecting the electrical control component is connected to the control panel assembly 12 through the wire hole 33, so that the first garment processing device 1 and the second garment processing device 2 can be triggered to perform corresponding functions through the control panel assembly 12. This not only ensures the stability of the operation of the folding garment processing equipment, but also enhances the user experience. At the same time, it reduces the number of parts used, lowers production costs, improves the convenience of assembly, and also improves the internal space utilization of the folding garment processing equipment.

[0076] Example 2

[0077] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a stacked clothing processing device, including: a first clothing processing device 1; a second clothing processing device 2 located below the first clothing processing device 1; and a connector 3 as described above for the stacked clothing processing device, the main body 31 being horizontally disposed in the first clothing processing device 1 and the second clothing processing device 2, the first connecting part being connected to the first clothing processing device 1, and the second connecting part being connected to the second clothing processing device 2.

[0078] In the above scheme, the wire 26 connecting the control panel assembly 12 passes through the wire hole 33 and is electrically connected to the main control board assembly. Further, multiple wire branches 26 are extended and electrically connected to the wires 26 of the internal electrical control components of the second clothing processing device 2, so that the first clothing processing device 1 and the second clothing processing device 2 can share the control panel assembly 12.

[0079] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first clothing processing device 1 includes a first housing 11, the main body 31 is horizontally arranged at the bottom front end of the first housing 11, the flange 32 is inserted into the bottom front end of the first housing 11 and clamped and fixed, the wire hole 33 communicates with the inside of the first housing 11, and the wire 26 connecting the electronic control component passes through the wire hole 33 and then enters the second clothing processing device 2.

[0080] Preferably, the fastener passes through the connecting holes 35 of the first housing 11 and the main body 31 in sequence to lock the first housing 11 and the connector 3, ensuring the stability of the connection between the connector 3 and the first housing 11.

[0081] As Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first housing 11 includes a first front panel 111. The bottom end of the first front panel 111 is bent backward to form a front panel flange 1111. A through hole 1112 is provided on the front panel flange 1111. The flange 32 passes through the through hole 1112 and is at least partially placed inside the first housing 11, so that the wire 26 in the first clothing processing device 1 enters the threading hole 33 through the through hole 1112 and then passes out through the threading hole 33.

[0082] Preferably, the flange 32 is fitted with the front plate flange 1111 on the outer periphery of the through hole 1112, which further improves the stability of the connection between the connector 3 and the first front plate 111.

[0083] Preferably, the front plate folded edge 1111 and the body 31 are respectively provided with connecting holes. Fasteners pass through the connecting holes on the front plate folded edge 1111 and the body 31 in sequence to lock the first front plate 111 and the connector 3, so as to fasten the connector 3 and the first front plate 111 together.

[0084] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the second clothing processing device 2 includes a second housing 21 and a front decorative panel 22 disposed at the top front of the second housing 21. The upper part of the front decorative panel 22 is provided with a notch for the wire 26 to pass through, and the notch is connected to the wire hole 33.

[0085] In the above scheme, the upper part of the front decorative panel 22 is provided with a notch for the wire 26 to pass through, so that the wire 26 connecting the electrical control components in the second housing 21 can be connected to the wire hole 33 through the notch, ensuring that the wiring is neat and beautiful and avoiding the wire from getting tangled or knotted.

[0086] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the second housing 21 includes a second front panel 211, and a front decorative panel 22 is installed on the top of the second front panel 211; preferably, the top of the second front panel 211 is bent backward to form a front panel fold 2111, and the front decorative panel 22 and the front panel fold 2111 are detachably and fixedly connected by a plug-in structure.

[0087] like Figures 8 to 10 and Figures 13 to 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper part of the front decorative panel 22 is provided with an axially protruding assembly part 222, and the positioning part 37 is inserted into the assembly part 222 and clamped and fixed to realize the detachable fixed connection between the connector 3 and the front decorative panel 22.

[0088] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the front decorative panel 22 is bent backward to form a side 221. The assembly part 222 includes a limiting block 2221 provided on the upper side of the side 221. The left and right ends of the limiting block 2221 are bent forward to form limiting arms 2222. The hook 372 is clamped between the left and right limiting arms 2222, which can realize the limiting cooperation between the connector 3 and the assembly part 222 on the upper side of the decorative panel. The assembly structure is simple, which makes it easy to assemble the connector 3 and the decorative panel into one piece. At the same time, it is also easy to disassemble and separate the two.

[0089] Preferably, the limiting block 2221 is provided with a rearward horizontally extending support rib 2223 to improve the strength of the assembly part 222, thereby achieving a stable connection between the positioning part 37 and the assembly part 222.

[0090] With the above-mentioned stacked clothing processing equipment, the first clothing processing device 1 and the second clothing processing device 2 share the control panel assembly 12. Users can control the first clothing processing device 1 and the second clothing processing device 2 to perform corresponding functions through the shared control panel assembly 12. This not only reduces the number of parts used, lowers production costs, and improves the convenience of assembly, but also improves the space utilization rate inside the stacked clothing processing equipment.

[0091] Example 3

[0092] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, this embodiment is a further limitation of the above embodiment two. The first clothing processing device 1 includes a control panel assembly 12, and the second clothing processing device 2 includes a main control board assembly. The wire 26 connecting the control panel assembly 12 passes through the wire hole 33 and is electrically connected to the main control board assembly.

[0093] In the above scheme, the wire 26 connecting the control panel assembly 12 passes through the wire hole 33 and is electrically connected to the main control board assembly. Further, multiple wire branches 26 are extended and electrically connected to the wires 26 of the internal electrical control components of the second clothing processing device 2, so that the first clothing processing device 1 and the second clothing processing device 2 can share the control panel assembly 12.

[0094] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in this embodiment, the main control board assembly includes a bracket 24 and a circuit board 25 disposed at the rear end of the bracket 24. The second clothing processing device 2 also includes a second housing 21 and a table 23 disposed on the second housing 21. The bracket 24 is connected to the table 23 and the second housing 21 respectively. The wire 26 passes through the wire hole 33 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 25 via the bracket 24. Preferably, the bracket 24 is provided with a mounting groove 2411 that opens toward the inside of the second housing 21, and the circuit board 25 is disposed in the mounting groove 2411.

[0095] In the above scheme, the bracket 24 is connected to the tabletop 23 and the second housing 21 respectively to realize the installation and fixation of the circuit board 25. This not only realizes the installation and fixation of the circuit board 25, but also realizes the electrical connection of the wire 26 connecting the control panel assembly 12 to the circuit board 25, so that the first clothing processing device 1 and the second clothing processing device 2 share the control panel assembly 12.

[0096] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the front end of the bracket 24 is provided with an axially protruding winding post 2412, and the bracket 24 is also provided with a wire passage 2413. After the wire 26 passes through the wire hole 33, it is folded back through the winding post 2412 and enters the wire passage 2413 to be electrically connected to the circuit board 25.

[0097] In the above scheme, the wire 26 is folded back through the winding post 2412 and enters the wire passage 2413 to be electrically connected to the circuit board 25. This not only makes the wiring neater and more beautiful, but also provides a greater release length for the wire 26. In addition, the setting of the winding post 2412 can also keep the wire 26 taut after it passes through the wire hole 33.

[0098] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket 24 includes a bracket body 241 with a mounting groove 2411 for mounting the circuit board 25; a first connecting structure 242 is disposed on the bracket body 241 for connecting to the table surface 23 of the second processing device; and a second connecting structure 243 is disposed on the bracket body 241 for connecting to the second housing 21 of the second processing device. This not only improves the assembly convenience of the circuit board 25 but also reduces the number of parts and lowers the production cost.

[0099] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket body 241 extends vertically, the mounting groove 2411 has an opening facing the table surface 23, the circuit board 25 is embedded in the mounting groove 2411 from the opening, the first connecting structure 242 is provided at the upper end of the bracket body 241, and the second connecting structure 243 is provided at the lower end of the bracket body 241.

[0100] In the above scheme, the circuit board 25 is embedded in the mounting groove 2411 through the opening of the mounting groove 2411 and fixedly connected to the bracket 24. The operation is simple, the assembly efficiency is high, and it is convenient to repair and replace the circuit board 25. The platform 23 is located above the second box 21, and the first connecting structure 242 and the second connecting structure 243 are located at the upper and lower ends of the vertically extending bracket body 241, respectively, so that the first connecting structure 242 and the second connecting structure 243 can be accurately and quickly fixed to the mounting position of the platform 23 and the second box 21.

[0101] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting structure 242 includes an upwardly extending overlapping arm 2421. The overlapping arm 2421 is connected to the front end of the tabletop 23 via a snap-fit ​​structure, and / or fasteners pass through the connecting holes opened on the overlapping arm 2421 and the connecting holes opened at the front end of the tabletop 23 to fasten the overlapping arm 2421 to the tabletop 23. The fastener connection or snap-fit ​​structure connection is simpler and more convenient, and the connection stability is better. At the same time, the bracket 24 and the tabletop 23 can be detachably fixedly connected.

[0102] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting structure 242 further includes a first connecting arm 2422 extending upward from the upper end of the body 31. The extended end of the first connecting arm 2422 is bent backward to form a support arm 2423. The end of the support arm 2423 is connected to the front side of the overlapping arm 2421. The first connecting arm 2422 and the support arm 2422 are connected in an inverted L-shape, so that a relative space is formed between the first connecting arm 2422 and the overlapping arm 2421, thereby allowing the overlapping arm 2421 to be more flexibly fixedly connected to the table 23.

[0103] Preferably, a portion of the upper part of the support body 241 is bent upward to form a first connecting arm 2422. The first connecting arm 2422 is bent and connected to the corresponding support arm 2423 to form multiple first connecting arms 2422 and corresponding support arms 2423 with bent transition connections, which is helpful to determine whether the overlapping arm 2421 and the table 23 are installed in place.

[0110] In the above scheme, the circuit board 25 is installed in the mounting slot 2411 on the bracket body 241 to fix the circuit board 25 to the bracket 24. The bracket 24 has a simple structure and is easy to mass-produce, while the circuit board 25 has a high assembly efficiency and is suitable for industrial applications.

[0111] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the winding post 2412 extends axially from the front side of the base plate, and the base plate is provided with a hanging ear 2414 on the side near the winding post 2412. A wire passage 2413 is opened on the base plate, and the wire passage 2413 is located below the hanging ear 2414. The base plate is also provided with several wire bundling holes 2415.

[0112] Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer periphery of the bracket body 241 is provided with several outwardly radially extending limiting plates 2417. The limiting plates 2417 are provided with through holes so that the wires 26 can pass through and be electrically connected to the electronic control components, thereby realizing the control of the electronic control components through the control panel assembly 12.

[0113] Through the aforementioned folded clothing processing equipment, the wires 26 connecting the control panel assembly 12 pass through the wire hole 33 and are electrically connected to the main control board assembly. Further, multiple wires 26 branches are extended and electrically connected to the wires 26 of the internal electrical control components of the second clothing processing device 2. The second clothing processing device 2 is controlled by the control panel assembly 12 of the first clothing processing device 1, realizing that the first clothing processing device 1 and the second clothing processing device 2 share the control panel assembly 12, reducing the number of parts used and saving space inside the folded clothing processing equipment.
