Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing equipment, and more specifically, to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, clothing processing equipment has become an integral part of people's lives. As an essential household appliance for most families, clothing processing equipment can wash, dry, or sterilize clothes, sheets, etc., saving users labor and improving their quality of life.

[0003] Taking a front-loading washing machine as an example, a front-loading washing machine is a device that cleans clothes through a series of washing processes including washing, rinsing, spin-drying, and drying. A typical front-loading washing machine includes: a cabinet with a loading port on one side; a door mounted on the outer casing for opening or closing the loading port; an outer drum housed inside the cabinet for filling with washing water; an inner drum rotatably mounted inside the outer drum for holding the clothes to be washed; and a motor for rotating the inner drum. A door lock mechanism is also installed on the cabinet and door. This mechanism locks the door while the washing machine is running and unlocks it after the wash cycle, allowing the user to open the door and remove the clothes. Because the door lock mechanism provides mechanical restraint when the door is closed, this restraint must be overcome to unlock and open the door, which often results in a less than ideal user experience.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a garment processing device that uses an electromagnetic module to attract any one or both of the first and second magnetic components in different on / off states, thereby achieving different closing forces on the machine door, ensuring the door is securely locked while facilitating user opening and closing.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] This invention provides a garment processing device, comprising:

[0008] Organism;

[0009] The machine door is rotatably connected to the machine body;

[0010] A door lock assembly includes an electromagnetic module and a magnetic attraction assembly. One of the electromagnetic module and the magnetic attraction assembly is located on the body, and the other is located on the door. The magnetic attraction assembly includes a first magnetic attraction element and a second magnetic attraction element. The electromagnetic module can attract any one or both of the first magnetic attraction element and the second magnetic attraction element in different on / off states.

[0011] In the above technical solution, when the electromagnetic module is de-energized, the electromagnetic module and the first magnetic suction component are magnetically attracted to each other, so that the door can be opened and closed on the machine body;

[0012] When the electromagnetic module is powered on, the electromagnetic module is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic chuck and the second magnetic chuck, thereby locking the door onto the machine body.

[0013] In the above technical solution, one of the body and the door is provided with a first mounting groove, and the door lock assembly is disposed in the first mounting groove. The second magnetic member is movable relative to the first mounting groove to move away from or towards the electromagnetic module.

[0014] When the electromagnetic module is powered on, the second magnetic attractor approaches and contacts the electromagnetic module under the magnetic attraction of the electromagnetic module. When the electromagnetic module is powered off, the second magnetic attractor separates from the electromagnetic module.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the door lock assembly further includes:

[0016] The mounting base has a mounting cavity, the mounting base is adapted to the first mounting groove and disposed in the first mounting groove, the first magnetic suction member is disposed in the mounting cavity, and the second magnetic suction member is movably disposed in the mounting cavity.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the second magnetic suction component is slidably connected to the mounting base.

[0018] In any of the above technical solutions, the mounting base is provided with a partition to divide the mounting cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity, the first magnetic suction member is disposed in the first cavity, and the second magnetic suction member is disposed in the second cavity.

[0019] In any of the above technical solutions, the door lock assembly further includes:

[0020] An elastic element connects the mounting base and the second magnetic element. When the electromagnetic module is powered on, the second magnetic element contacts the electromagnetic module and causes the elastic element to elastically deform. When the electromagnetic module is de-powered, the elastic element returns to its elastic state, driving the second magnetic element away from the electromagnetic module.

[0021] In any of the above technical solutions, when the electromagnetic module is energized in the first direction, the electromagnetic module is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic attractor and the second magnetic attractor.

[0022] When the electromagnetic module is energized in the second direction, the electromagnetic module repels the magnetic repulsion between the first magnetic attractor and the second magnetic attractor, causing the machine door to spring open from the machine body.

[0023] The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0024] In any of the above technical solutions, the electromagnetic module is disposed on the machine body, and the magnetic suction component is disposed on the machine door.

[0025] In any of the above technical solutions, the body is provided with a second mounting slot, and the electromagnetic module is disposed in the second mounting slot.

[0026] This invention can control the electromagnetic module to attract any one or both of the first and second magnetic components by changing the magnitude of the current flowing through the electromagnetic module.

[0027] More specifically, the magnetic force required for the electromagnetic module to attract the first magnetic chuck is less than the magnetic force required to attract the second magnetic chuck. Thus, when a small current flows through the electromagnetic module, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic module can attract the first magnetic chuck but not the second magnetic chuck, resulting in a relatively weak closing force for the door. When a large current flows through the electromagnetic module, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic module can attract both the first and second magnetic chucks, resulting in a relatively strong closing force for the door.

[0028] Alternatively, the direction of the current flowing through the electromagnetic module can be changed to control the electromagnetic module to attract any one or both of the first and second magnetic components.

[0029] More specifically, the magnetic force required for the electromagnetic module to attract the first magnetic chuck is less than the magnetic force required to attract the second magnetic chuck. Furthermore, the magnetic poles of the first and second magnetic chucks are the same as the magnetic poles on the opposite side of the electromagnetic module. The electromagnetic module has a first end and a second end, with the first magnetic chuck positioned opposite to the first end and the second magnetic chuck positioned opposite to the second end. Thus, when a current flows through the electromagnetic module in the first direction, the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic module is opposite to the magnetic pole of the first magnetic chuck at the first end and the same as the magnetic pole of the second magnetic chuck at the second end. This results in magnetic attraction between the first end and the first magnetic chuck, and magnetic repulsion between the second end and the second magnetic chuck, leading to a relatively weaker closing force on the door. Conversely, when a current flows through the electromagnetic module in the second direction, the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic module is the same as the magnetic pole of the first magnetic chuck at the first end and opposite to the magnetic pole of the second magnetic chuck at the second end. This results in magnetic repulsion between the first end and the first magnetic chuck, and magnetic attraction between the second end and the second magnetic chuck, leading to a relatively stronger closing force on the door.

[0030] This invention configures an electromagnetic module to engage one or both of the first and second magnetic components in different on / off states, thereby enabling the machine door to have different closing forces. When the closing force is small, the machine door can be opened and closed freely by the user, requiring less effort and providing a better user experience. When the closing force is large, the machine door can be locked to the machine body, preventing the user from opening it at will. This ensures the reliability of the door's closing during machine operation, avoids situations such as water leakage and noise caused by a loose door, and improves product safety.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0041] The garment processing device 10 of the present invention is described below with reference to illustrations.

[0042] The garment processing device 10 of the present invention can be a washing machine, a dryer, a washer-dryer combo, etc., preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the clothing processing device 10 of the present invention is a side-opening drum washing machine.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the garment processing device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a body 100, a door 200, and a door lock assembly 300.

[0044] In detail, the body 100 has a front panel with a dispensing opening. More specifically, the body 100 includes a housing enclosed by a panel, within which a receiving cavity is formed, suitable for accommodating components such as a bucket assembly and a drive assembly. The front panel is formed on the front side of the housing, and the dispensing opening on the front panel is positioned opposite the opening of the bucket assembly to facilitate the user dispensing clothing.

[0045] Regarding the door 200 in detail, the door 200 is rotatably connected to the body 100. Specifically, in some embodiments, the garment handling device 10 has a first door, and the body 100 has a garment inlet. The first door is rotatably mounted on the body 100 and can open or close the garment inlet. The user rotates the first door to open the garment inlet to retrieve or place garments. In other embodiments, the garment handling device may further include a second door in addition to the first door. The first door is used to open or close the garment inlet, and the second door is located outside the first door and rotatably connected to the body 100. The second door is adapted to the front panel of the body 100 and can conceal or expose the front panel and the first door, making the outer surface of the product smoother and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0046] The aforementioned door 200 can refer to either the first door or the second door. The door lock assembly 300 can be used to open or close either the first door or the second door.

[0047] The door lock assembly 300 includes an electromagnetic module 310 and a magnetic component 320. One of the electromagnetic module 310 and the magnetic component 320 is located on the body 100 and the other is located on the door 200. The magnetic component 320 includes a first magnetic component 321 and a second magnetic component 322.

[0048] For example, the electromagnetic module 310 is installed on the body 100 and the magnetic component 320 is installed on the door 200; or the electromagnetic module 310 is installed on the door 200 and the magnetic component 320 is installed on the body 100.

[0049] The electromagnetic module 310 can attract any one or both of the first magnetic attractor 321 and the second magnetic attractor 322 in different on / off states.

[0050] For example, by changing the magnitude of the energizing current of the electromagnetic module 310, the electromagnetic module 310 can be controlled to attract any one or both of the first magnetic attractor 321 and the second magnetic attractor 322.

[0051] More specifically, the magnetic force required for the electromagnetic module 310 to attract the first magnetic chuck 321 is less than the magnetic force required for the electromagnetic module 310 to attract the second magnetic chuck 322. Thus, when a small current flows through the electromagnetic module 310, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic module 310 can attract the first magnetic chuck 321 but not the second magnetic chuck 322, resulting in a relatively weak closing force for the door 200. When a large current flows through the electromagnetic module 310, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic module 310 can attract both the first and second magnetic chucks 321, resulting in a relatively strong closing force for the door 200.

[0052] Alternatively, the direction of the current flowing through the electromagnetic module 310 can be changed to control the electromagnetic module 310 to attract any one or both of the first magnetic attractor 321 and the second magnetic attractor 322.

[0053] More specifically, the magnetic force required for the electromagnetic module 310 to attract the first magnetic attractor 321 is less than the magnetic force required for the electromagnetic module 310 to attract the second magnetic attractor 322. Furthermore, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic attractor 321 and the second magnetic attractor 322 are the same as the magnetic poles on the opposite side of the electromagnetic module 310. Simultaneously, the electromagnetic module 310 has a first end and a second end. The first magnetic attractor 321 is positioned opposite to the first end, and the second magnetic attractor 322 is positioned opposite to the second end. Thus, when a current in the first direction flows through the electromagnetic module 310, the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic module 310 interacts with the magnetic field of the first magnetic attractor 321 at the first end. When the electromagnetic module 310 is energized with a current in the second direction, the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic module 310 is such that the first end is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic component 321, while the second end is magnetically repelled by the second magnetic component 322, resulting in a relatively weak closing force for the door 200. When the electromagnetic module 310 is energized with a current in the second direction, the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic module 310 is such that the first end is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic component 321, while the second end is magnetically repelled by the second magnetic component 322, resulting in a relatively strong closing force for the door 200.

[0054] This invention configures the electromagnetic module 310 to attract any one or both of the first magnetic attractor 321 and the second magnetic attractor 322 in different on / off states, thereby enabling the machine door 200 to have different closing forces. When the closing force of the machine door 200 is small, the machine door 200 can be opened and closed freely by the user, requiring less force and providing a better user experience. When the closing force of the machine door 200 is large, the machine door 200 can be locked onto the machine body 100, and the machine door 200 can no longer be opened by the user at will. This ensures the reliability of the closing of the machine door 200 during machine operation, avoids situations such as water leakage and noise caused by the machine door 200 becoming loose, and improves the safety of product use.

[0055] Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines:

[0056] When the electromagnetic module 310 is de-energized, the electromagnetic module 310 and the first magnetic suction component 321 are magnetically attracted to each other, so that the machine door 200 can be opened and closed on the machine body 100.

[0057] When the electromagnetic module 310 is powered on, the electromagnetic module 310 is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic 321 and the second magnetic 322, so that the door 200 is locked onto the body 100.

[0058] In this embodiment, the closing force can be changed by controlling the power supply to and from the electromagnetic module 310. Specifically, when the electromagnetic module 310 is de-energized, the iron core in the electromagnetic module 310 and the first magnetic attractor 321 attract each other by their own magnetism. At this time, the magnetic attraction force is relatively weak, resulting in a relatively small closing force for the door 200, allowing the user to open or close the door 200. When the electromagnetic module 310 is energized, the iron core in the electromagnetic module 310 attracts the first magnetic attractor 321 by their own magnetism under the magnetic field generated by the energized coil. At this time, the magnetic attraction force is relatively strong, resulting in a relatively large closing force for the door 200. The door 200 can be locked onto the body 100, preventing the user from opening or closing the door 200.

[0059] Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines:

[0060] One of the body 100 and the door 200 is provided with a first mounting slot, and the door lock assembly 300 is disposed in the first mounting slot. The second magnetic member 322 is movable relative to the first mounting slot to move away from or towards the electromagnetic module 310.

[0061] When the electromagnetic module 310 is powered on, the second magnetic attractor 322 approaches and contacts the electromagnetic module 310 under the magnetic attraction of the electromagnetic module 310. When the electromagnetic module 310 is powered off, the second magnetic attractor 322 separates from the electromagnetic module 310.

[0062] In this embodiment, a second magnetic chuck 322 is provided that can move relative to the first mounting slot to move away from or towards the electromagnetic module 310. In this way, while adjusting the closing force of the door 200, the second magnetic chuck 322 approaches and contacts the electromagnetic module 310 under the magnetic attraction of the electromagnetic module 310. When the second magnetic chuck 322 contacts the electromagnetic module 310, a collision will occur. The vibration and sound generated by the collision can give the user a prompt. The user can know from the vibration and sound generated by the collision that the second magnetic chuck 322 has been attracted to the electromagnetic module 310, and thus know that the door 200 is currently locked and cannot be opened manually.

[0063] Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines:

[0064] The door lock assembly 300 also includes a mounting base 330, which has a mounting cavity 331. The mounting base 330 is adapted to and disposed in the first mounting groove. A first magnetic member 321 is disposed in the mounting cavity 331, and a second magnetic member 322 is movably disposed in the mounting cavity 331.

[0065] This modular approach to the magnetic component 320, and consequently the modularity of the door lock component 300, allows for easier installation. The first magnetic component 321 and the second magnetic component 322 can be installed first, followed by the entire magnetic component 320 within the first mounting slot. Furthermore, this design prevents the second magnetic component 322 from directly contacting the door 200, avoiding repeated friction and deformation of the first mounting slot caused by the second magnetic component 322. This provides protection for the door 200. Additionally, the modular magnetic component 320 is replaceable, facilitating user maintenance and replacement.

[0066] Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that the second magnetic member 322 is slidably connected to the mounting base 330.

[0067] The sliding connection further reduces the friction between the second magnetic component 322 and the mounting base 330, avoids wear on the second magnetic component 322, and extends the service life of the second magnetic component 322.

[0068] Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines:

[0069] The mounting base 330 is provided with a partition to divide the mounting cavity 331 into a first cavity and a second cavity. The first magnetic suction member 321 is located in the first cavity, and the second magnetic suction member 322 is located in the second cavity.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first magnetic 321 and the second magnetic 322 are respectively disposed in their respective cavities, which avoids mutual interference between the first magnetic 321 and the second magnetic 322, and allows the second magnetic 322 to respond better to the electromagnetic module 310.

[0071] Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines:

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, the door lock assembly 300 also includes an elastic element 340, which is connected to the mounting base 330 and the second magnetic element 322. When the electromagnetic module 310 is energized, the second magnetic element 322 contacts the electromagnetic module 310 and causes the elastic element 340 to elastically deform. When the electromagnetic module 310 is de-energized, the elastic element 340 restores its elasticity and drives the second magnetic element 322 away from the electromagnetic module 310.

[0073] The second magnetic clasp 322 is reset by the elastic element 340, so that when the electromagnetic module 310 is de-energized, the second magnetic clasp 322 and the electromagnetic module 310 have a certain contact, thereby ensuring that the second magnetic clasp 322 will collide when it comes into contact with the electromagnetic module 310. The user can know that the second magnetic clasp 322 has been attracted to the electromagnetic module 310 by the vibration and sound generated by the collision, and thus know that the door 200 is locked and cannot be opened manually.

[0074] Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment further specifies that: when the electromagnetic module 310 is energized in the first direction, the electromagnetic module 310 is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic attractor 321 and the second magnetic attractor 322;

[0075] When the electromagnetic module 310 is energized in the second direction, the electromagnetic module 310, the first magnetic 321 and the second magnetic 322 magnetically repel each other, causing the machine door 200 to pop open from the machine body 100.

[0076] The first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0077] In this way, the magnetic poles of the electromagnetic module 310 can be changed by controlling the energizing direction of the electromagnetic module 310. When the electromagnetic module 310 is energized in the first direction, the electromagnetic module 310 has opposite magnetism to the first magnetic attractor 321 and the second magnetic attractor 322, so that the electromagnetic module 310 attracts the first magnetic attractor 321 and the second magnetic attractor 322, thereby locking the door 200 to the body 100.

[0078] When the electromagnetic module 310 is energized in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the electromagnetic module 310 has the same magnetism as the first magnetic 321 and the second magnetic 322, causing the electromagnetic module 310 to repel the magnetism of the first magnetic 321 and the second magnetic 322, causing the machine door 200 to pop open from the machine body 100.

[0079] That is, the door 200 provided in this embodiment has at least three states. When the electromagnetic module 310 is de-energized, the electromagnetic module 310 and the first magnetic suction member 321 attract each other with their own magnetism, allowing the door 200 to be opened and closed onto the body 100. When the electromagnetic module 310 is energized in the first direction, the electromagnetic module 310 attracts the first magnetic suction member 321 and the second magnetic suction member 322, locking the door 200 onto the body 100 and preventing it from being opened by the user. When the electromagnetic module 310 is energized in the second direction, the electromagnetic module 310 repels the first magnetic suction member 321 and the second magnetic suction member 322, causing the body 100 to spring open the door 200, thus achieving automatic opening of the door 200. On the one hand, the product has a higher degree of automation, eliminating the need for manual opening by the user and providing a better user experience. On the other hand, automatic opening helps to improve the breathability of the body 100, preventing the formation of odors from clothes left inside the body 100 for extended periods.

[0080] Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines:

[0081] The electromagnetic module 310 is mounted on the body 100, and the magnetic suction component 320 is mounted on the door 200.

[0082] By placing the electromagnetic module 310 on the body 100, it is convenient to supply power to the electromagnetic module 310 and it also helps to simplify the structure of the door 200.

[0083] Based on any of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines:

[0084] The body 100 is provided with a second mounting slot, and the electromagnetic module 310 is located in the second mounting slot.

[0085] In this embodiment, the body 100 is provided with a second mounting slot, which provides an installation position for the electromagnetic module 310, realizing the hidden installation of the electromagnetic module 310 and avoiding the problem that the door 200 and the body 100 cannot be closed tightly due to the electromagnetic module 310 being located outside the body 100.

[0086] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
