[0067] The front decorative plate 1 of the present application is used to shield the tub assembly and does not form an appearance decorative part of the wall-mounted laundry treatment equipment with the box body 4, such as Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the front decorative plate 1 can be sealingly connected with the front surface of the tub assembly, the tub assembly can be any one of an outer tub or an inner tub, or a combination of the two, and the inner tub is arranged inside the outer tub. The tub assembly can further include a tub bottom plate, and the outer tub or the inner tub is connected with the tub bottom plate. The front decorative plate 1, the outer tub and the inner tub are arranged inside the box body 4. In order to further realize the present application, the wall-mounted laundry treatment equipment further includes a water supply device, a drainage device, a driving device and the like, which are all prior art and will not be described here.
[0068] Specifically, as Figure 4As shown, the front sealing door plate 5 is arranged on the side of the front decorative plate 1 away from the barrel assembly, i.e. the front surface, and together with the cabinet 4 constitutes the appearance of the wall-mounted clothes treatment device. The front sealing door plate 5 and the front decorative plate 1 are provided with inlets corresponding to the clothes feeding port. The front sealing door plate 5 and the front decorative plate 1 are also provided with door body mounting structures and door handle connecting structures. The opening size of the cabinet 4 corresponds to the shape and size of the outer periphery of the front decorative plate 1. The front decorative plate 1 is connected in contact with the opening of the cabinet 4. Specifically, a plurality of clamping interfaces towards the barrel assembly can be arranged on the outer periphery of the front decorative plate 1. A plurality of clamping claws are arranged on the opening periphery of the cabinet 4. The size and position of the clamping claws and the clamping interfaces match each other. The front decorative plate 1 is connected in contact with the opening of the cabinet 4 through the clamping claws and the clamping interfaces. The mounting positions of the clamping claws and the clamping interfaces can be mutually adjusted. Since the front decorative plate 1 has a certain thickness and / or curvature, the opening periphery of the cabinet 4 is provided with inwardly folded edges.

[0069] Specifically, during the installation of the wall-mounted clothes treatment device, first, the door body, the front sealing door plate 5 and the front decorative plate 1 are assembled and connected with the barrel assembly. Then, the barrel assembly is installed on a support such as a wall. Finally, the cabinet 4 is installed. The cabinet 4 is installed separately from the front sealing door plate 5 and the front decorative plate 1 in the present application. The control unit 2, the control panel and the wireless unit 8 are installed on the front decorative plate 1 instead of the cabinet 4. The wireless unit 8 is arranged on the side of the control unit close to the cabinet instead of being arranged on the outer wall of the cabinet or the barrel assembly, thereby saving installation space and shortening the length of the connecting wires. In the present application, each functional device in the wall-mounted clothes treatment device can be connected to the control unit 2 (each functional device such as a drainage device, a water inlet device, a driving device, etc. The control unit here can be a unit with the functions of a computer box or an electric control box) through wires. It is not necessary to arrange any connecting wires on the cabinet 4. The cabinet 4 is a component that is often disassembled. This greatly facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the wall-mounted clothes treatment device. The front decorative plate 1 connected with the control unit 2 does not need to be disassembled and assembled. When the cabinet 4 is disassembled, there is no need to consider various connection line problems. This makes the installation and maintenance of the wall-mounted clothes treatment device more convenient and efficient.
[0070] Further, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cavity 7 is provided with a positioning portion 70. The positioning portion 70 forms an installation space. The wireless unit 8 is embedded in the installation space.
[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to strengthen the aesthetic appearance of the accommodating cavity, the accommodating cavity is formed by extending outward along the outer periphery of the front decorative plate, and the connecting portions between the side walls of the accommodating cavity are all smoothly transitioned; in order to facilitate processing, the wireless unit is designed as a cuboid structure, and the accommodating cavity and the wireless unit can be designed as different shapes according to actual conditions, and are not limited to the shape of the present application.
[0072] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The positioning portion 70 comprises:
[0073] The limiting portion 701 is arranged on the opposite sides of the cavity 7, and the limiting portion 701 abuts against the side wall of the wireless unit 8;
[0074] The positioning rib 703 is arranged on at least two sides adjacent to the two sides where the limiting portion 701 is arranged in the cavity 7, and the positioning rib 703 abuts against the side wall of the wireless unit 8.
[0075] Further, the limiting portion 701 further comprises a limiting buckle 7010 arranged on the top of the limiting portion 701, and the limiting buckle 7010 is clamped with the side wall of the wireless unit 8 away from the barrel assembly.
[0076] Further, the limiting portion 701 is arranged on the opposite sides of the cavity 7 in the width direction; and the positioning rib 703 is arranged on the opposite sides of the cavity 7 in the length direction.
[0077] Preferably, the limiting portion 701 is arranged in the middle of the cavity 7.
[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, because the accommodating cavity 8 is irregularly shaped, the ear 6 is arranged on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 10 which is irregularly shaped, and the wireless unit 8 is regularly cuboid structure. Preferably, the ear 6 is arranged on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 10 in the length direction, so as to reduce the force arm of the ear 6 and the moment; further, in order to fix the wireless unit 8 and reduce the vibration of the wireless unit 8 as much as possible, the positioning portion 70 is arranged in the cavity 7 to form the mounting space for embedding the wireless unit 8, and the wireless unit 8 is fixed by the limiting portion 701 and the positioning rib 703, and the contact area between the wireless unit 8 and the side wall of the ear 6 is reduced, so as to weaken the vibration of the wireless unit 8 in each direction, and further weaken the vibration of the ear, thereby protecting the ear and the wireless unit 8.
[0079] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the limiting portions 701 are arranged on opposite sides of the cavity 7 along the width direction. In order to reduce the contact area between the wireless unit 8 and the side wall of the accommodating cavity 10, the side wall of the accommodating cavity 10 is irregular in shape, and the vibration is weakened. The limiting portions 701 on both sides of the cavity 7 respectively avoid the cavity 7, and the distance between the limiting portions 701 on both sides is equal to the width of the wireless unit 8. The bottom of the limiting portion 701 is connected to the side wall of the cavity 7 close to the barrel assembly.
[0080] Each of the limiting portions 701 further comprises a support seat and an abutting plate. The top end of each of the abutting plates is oppositely provided with the limiting buckle 7010. The limiting buckle 7010 can be a protrusion opposite to the cavity 7. The bottom surface of the protrusion is connected to the side wall of the wireless unit 8 away from the barrel assembly. The bottom end of each of the abutting plates is connected to the side wall of the cavity 7 close to the barrel assembly. The two sides of the abutting plate are respectively connected to two support seats. Each of the support seats is arranged outside the mounting space. Each of the support seats is a right-angled triangular support plate. One of the right-angled edges of the right-angled triangular support plate is connected to the side wall of the cavity close to the barrel assembly. The other right-angled edge is connected to one side of the abutting plate. The limiting portion 701 connected to the side wall away from the accommodating cavity 10 avoids the cavity 7 by a distance greater than the thickness of the side wall of the cavity 7. The support plate of the limiting portion 701 is connected to the side wall away from the accommodating cavity 10. The side wall close to the barrel assembly, to which the bottom end of the abutting plate is connected, is respectively provided with a hollow groove along the bottom end of the abutting plate. The right-angled triangular support plate is used to increase the stability of the limiting portion 701. The limiting portion 701 connected to the side wall away from the accommodating cavity 10 avoids the cavity 7. On the one hand, the limiting portion 701 connected to the side wall away from the accommodating cavity 10 increases the stability of the limiting portion 701. On the other hand, the limiting portion 701 is not arranged on the side wall away from the accommodating cavity 10. The contact area between the wireless unit and the side wall away from the accommodating cavity 10 is reduced, and the vibration is reduced.
[0081] The positioning ribs 703 are arranged on opposite sides of the cavity 7 along the length direction. Two groups or more groups of the positioning ribs 703 can be arranged. Opposite positioning ribs 703 form one group. When two groups of the positioning ribs 703 are arranged, the two groups of the positioning ribs 703 respectively extend to each other along the side wall close to the barrel assembly and are cut off by two hollow grooves. Thus, the contact area between the wireless unit and the side surface close to the barrel assembly is reduced, and the vibration of the wireless unit is reduced.
[0082] The positioning ribs 703 are also arranged on both sides of the limiting part 701 along the width direction of the cavity 7, and each side is provided with a set of opposite positioning ribs 703. The end faces of the two sets of positioning ribs 703 are flush with the side faces of the abutting plates of the limiting part 701 on the same side towards the cavity 7, and together with the length direction positioning ribs 703 form an installation space. The positioning ribs 703 avoid direct contact between the wireless unit 8 and the side wall of the cavity 7 near the barrel assembly, thereby reducing vibration. The two sets of positioning ribs 703 along the width direction of the cavity 7 are respectively connected to the opposite side wall near the barrel assembly. The two positioning ribs 703 near one side of the accommodating cavity 10 are connected to the side wall of the accommodating cavity 10. One of the two positioning ribs 703 extends towards the accommodating cavity 10 and is connected to the side wall of the accommodating cavity 10. The other positioning rib 703 is provided with a positioning column 702 between the connection with the accommodating cavity 10. The positioning column 702 is arranged near the installation space and is connected to the positioning lug 80 arranged on the side wall of the wireless unit 8. The positioning column 702 is provided with a positioning hole which is tightly connected to the through hole of the positioning lug 80. The positioning column 702 is arranged in the positioning rib 703, thereby increasing the stability of the positioning column 702. The positioning column 702 is not arranged on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 10, thereby reducing vibration of the wireless unit. The stability of the wireless unit 8 is improved by the positioning column 702. The installation space is arranged near the side wall of the barrel assembly, thereby reducing the contact area between the wireless unit 8 and the side wall of the ear 6 near the barrel assembly, and reducing vibration.
[0083] The positioning part 70 of the present application is not limited to the above structure, and other structures such as clamping and screws can achieve the positioning effect of the wireless unit, or structures that can reduce vibration.
[0084] Further, the bottom wall of the ear 6 is provided with a wire outlet 71 which corresponds to the bottom of the installation space.
[0085] In this invention, the wireless unit 8 embeds a wireless chip. A wire connected to the wireless chip passes through the wireless unit 8 and exits through the outlet 71 of the cavity 7 to connect to the control unit 2 in the receiving cavity 10. The ear loop 6 is located close to the receiving cavity 10, bringing the wireless unit 8 closer to the control unit 2 and shortening the distance between the wireless unit 8 and the control unit 2. The outlet 71 is located on the bottom wall of the ear loop 7, facilitating the wire of the wireless unit 8 to pass through the outlet 71 and connect to the control unit 2 through the wire passage hole 14 on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 10, thus facilitating disassembly, assembly, and maintenance. The wire of the wireless unit can also connect to the control unit 2 through an adjacent wire passage hole after passing through the outlet 71. The ear loop 6 may or may not have a cover. The outlet 71 is located at the bottom of the cavity 7 for easier processing, avoiding the need for an outlet on the side wall of the receiving cavity 10, which would be inconvenient for processing and also prevents the side wall of the receiving cavity 10 from causing wear and tear on the connecting wire. It can also prevent moisture from flowing into the control unit 2 of the receiving cavity 10 through the outlet on the side wall of the receiving cavity when the cover is not installed. The wire hole 14 and the outlet 71 are set at the bottom to prevent moisture from flowing upward into the control unit 2.
[0086] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the opening of the receiving cavity 10 is provided with a first groove 11 along the circumference, and the receiving cavity 10 is provided with fixing parts 13 on the opposite side walls near the barrel assembly.
[0087] The outer edge of the control panel 3 is provided with a flange 30 facing the barrel assembly along the circumferential direction, and the side of the control panel 3 facing the receiving cavity 10 is provided with a first fastener 31.
[0088] The flange 30 engages with the first groove 11, and the fixing part 13 is fastened to the first fastener 31.
[0089] In this invention, the receiving cavity 10 is located on the side of the front decorative panel 1 away from the bucket assembly, i.e., the front surface (the side facing the user), which facilitates the maintenance of the control unit 2 in the receiving cavity 10. The first groove 11, circumferentially arranged at the opening of the receiving cavity 10, engages with the flange 30 of the control panel 3, thereby fixing the control panel 3 and preventing water from entering the control unit 2 to a certain extent. The first fastener 31 connects the side of the control panel 3 facing the receiving cavity 10 to the fixing part 13 on the side wall of the receiving cavity 10, achieving further fixation, rather than drilling holes on the side of the control panel 3 away from the bucket assembly, i.e., the front surface, which would affect the aesthetics of the outer surface of the control panel.
