[0041] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0042] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] The embodiment of the present application provides a clothes processing device, comprising a box assembly, a front sealing door assembly 100, a drum assembly and a door body.

[0044] Exemplarily, the box assembly is roughly U-shaped, and the front side of the box assembly is open; the front sealing door 1 is arranged at the opening of the box assembly, and the box assembly and the front sealing door 1 jointly define an installation space; it should be noted that the outer surface of the box assembly and the outer surface of the front sealing door 1 serve as the appearance surface of the clothing processing device.

[0045] The structural form of the box assembly is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the box assembly includes a main frame, a rear door, a left side panel, and a right side panel. The main frame serves as the load-bearing body of the box assembly. The rear door is disposed on the rear side of the main frame, the left side panel is disposed on the left side of the main frame, and the right side panel is disposed on the right side of the main frame. The rear door, the left side panel, and the right side panel together define a generally U-shaped space.

[0046] In other embodiments, the box assembly is a sheet metal component, that is, the box assembly is formed from a metal sheet through a cold working process.

[0047] For example, the front door 1 is a sheet metal part, that is, the front door 1 is formed from a sheet metal by cold working, so that the front door 1 has good structural strength and rigidity. Of course, the front door 1 can also be made of other materials with good structural strength and rigidity.

[0048] The drum assembly is disposed within the installation space. It is provided with a laundry processing chamber, the front of which is open. Exemplarily, the drum assembly includes an outer barrel and an inner barrel rotatably disposed within the outer barrel. The space within the inner barrel serves as the laundry processing chamber. It should be noted that the inner barrel can be a perforated inner barrel, meaning it cannot hold water, or a non-perforated inner barrel, meaning it can hold water.

[0049] The drum portion may have at least one of the functions of washing, drying, dehydration, etc.

[0050] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 The front door 1 is provided with a clothing taking-in and putting-out opening 1a communicating with the clothing processing chamber. Specifically, the clothing taking-in and putting-out opening 1a is located at the front side of the opening of the clothing processing chamber, and the user can take out and put in clothing from the clothing taking-in and putting-out opening 1a.

[0051] The door body is arranged at the clothing access opening 1a of the front door 1, and the door body selectively opens or closes the clothing access opening 1a. Exemplarily, the door body is rotatably connected to the front door 1 through a hinge.

[0052] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The front closed door 1 is provided with a light-transmitting zone 1b. It should be noted that the light-transmitting zone 1b is spaced apart from the clothing access opening 1a and is not covered by the door body. The light-transmitting zone 1b is generally in the shape of a long and thin strip.

[0053] See also Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The front door assembly 100 further includes a reinforcing plate 3 disposed on the inner side of the front door 1 and a light strip device 2 disposed on the reinforcing plate 3. The reinforcing plate 3 and the front door 1 are two independent components. The reinforcing plate 3 is connected to the front door 1 to enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the front door 1, making it less likely to deform or damage the structure during use, thereby improving the structural reliability of the front door 1.

[0054] See also Figure 4 The light strip device 2 includes a light strip 21 and a light guide 22. The light strip 21 serves as a light source for emitting light. The light guide 22 is used to guide the light emitted by the light strip 21 from the light-transmitting zone 1b to the outside of the clothing processing device. That is, the user can observe the light projected from the light-transmitting zone 1b.

[0055] The front door assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application has a light projected from the light-transmitting zone 1b with a visually gorgeous effect, which can enhance the aesthetic appearance of the clothing processing device; in addition, the luminous color of the light strip 21 can be changed according to the different operating states of the clothing processing device, playing the role of displaying the clothing washing and care functions, for example, when washing, it emits green light, and when dehydrating, it emits blue light, etc.; furthermore, during the operation of the clothing processing device, the light also has a warning function, warning the user not to approach.

[0056] In the front door assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the reinforcing plate 3 not only serves to strengthen the structural strength of the front door 1, but also serves to install the light strip device 2. The reinforcing plate 3 itself has good structural strength, which can protect the light strip device from being easily damaged and deformed during transportation of the clothing processing equipment; the reinforcing plate 3 can be fully utilized to install the light strip device 2, thereby improving assembly efficiency; during the production process, the light strip device 2 and the reinforcing plate 3 can be assembled into a pre-assembled whole, and the pre-assembled whole can be assembled to the front door 1 through the reinforcing plate 3. During the assembly process, there is a larger assembly space, which is convenient for assembly and can reduce the assembly time on the assembly line; in addition, the reinforcing plate and the light strip device are isolated from each other from the clothing processing chamber, and the moisture in the clothing processing equipment basically has no effect on the light strip device, thereby improving the electrical reliability of the light strip device.

[0057] It should be noted that the front door 1 is made of opaque material, and the light emitted by the light strip 21 can only be projected into the external environment of the clothing processing device from the light-transmitting zone 1b. That is to say, the light emitted by the light strip 21 can only be observed by the user in the light-transmitting zone 1b.

[0058] The number of the barrel portion is not limited, and can be one or more. In the embodiment of the present application, more means no less than two.

[0059] The plurality of drums are arranged along the height direction of the clothes processing device. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 There are multiple clothing access openings 1a, and each clothing access opening 1a is arranged at intervals along the height direction of the front door assembly. It should be noted that the number of clothing access openings 1a is the same as the number of barrel assemblies, and each barrel assemblies has a corresponding clothing access opening 1a on the front side.

[0060] For example, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 The light-transmitting zone 1b and the reinforcing plate 3 are both located between two adjacent clothing access openings 1a, and are arranged substantially along the left-right direction of the front door 1. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting zone 1b creates a visual separation line, visually separating the upper and lower door bodies, enriching the design of the front door 1 and enhancing the user experience.

[0061] It should be noted that the multiple cylindrical components are spaced apart in the height direction, resulting in a relatively large overall height dimension of the front door 1. Furthermore, as a thin plate, the front door 1 itself is relatively weak in the area between adjacent clothing access openings 1a. Since the reinforcement plates 3 are arranged generally along the left-right direction of the front door 1, they effectively enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the front door 1 in this direction. In other words, the reinforcement plates 3 act as a transverse reinforcement.

[0062] It should be noted that the arrangement along the left and right directions of the front sealing door 1 can extend along the left and right horizontal directions, or can be inclined at a certain angle relative to the horizontal direction. For example, the angle between the extension direction of the light-transmitting zone 1b and the horizontal direction is within 30°, and the angle between the extension direction of the reinforcing plate 3 and the horizontal direction is within 30°.

[0063] For example, see Figure 6The front door 1 has inwardly folded first edges 11 formed on both sides. The reinforcing plate 3 is connected between the two first edges 11, for example, by a threaded connection. In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate 3 is arranged roughly along the left and right sides of the front door 1. The reinforcing plate 3 is supported between the two first edges 11, which can effectively increase the lateral rigidity of the front door 1 and reduce the possibility of inward deformation of the front door 1.

[0064] For example, please refer to Figure 6 The first folding edge 11 includes a first flange 111 and a second flange 112 connected to each other. The first flange 111 is folded backward from the front door 1 by about 90°, and the second flange 112 is folded from the edge of the first flange 111 by about 90° in a direction away from the other first folding edge 11, that is, the first folding edge 11 is a structure formed by two consecutive foldings of about 90°.

[0065] For example, see Figure 6 A second folded edge 31 is formed at both ends of the reinforcing plate 3. The second folded edge 31 includes a third flange 311 and a fourth flange 312 that are connected to each other. The third flange 311 is folded backward from the reinforcing plate 3 by approximately 90°, and the fourth flange 312 is folded from the edge of the third flange 311 by approximately 90° in a direction away from the other second folded edge 31. That is, the second folded edge 31 is a structure formed by two consecutive folds of approximately 90°.

[0066] The third flanges 311 of the two second folded edges 31 of the reinforcing plate 3 rest between the first flanges 111 of the two first folded edges 11. The two third flanges 311 provide lateral support for the two first folded edges 11, and the fourth flange 312 fits behind the second flange 112. Screws pass through the fourth flange 312 and the second flange 112 to detachably connect the two.

[0067] It can be understood that the main part of the reinforcing plate 3 contacts the main part of the front sealing door 1 in a plate-to-plate manner, so as to better support the front sealing door 1 and further reduce the probability of the front sealing door 1 deforming inward.

[0068] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the light guide 22 may be exposed on the front side of the front door 1. In other embodiments, a light-transmitting film or other structure is provided in the light-transmitting zone 1b of the front door 1, or at least a portion of the front door 1 is made of a light-transmitting material to form a light-transmitting zone. In such embodiments, the light guide 22 will not be exposed on the outside of the front door 1.

[0069] For example, in some embodiments, see Figure 4The light-transmitting zone 1b extends through the front door 1 along its thickness. In other words, the light-transmitting zone 1b forms a slit. The light guide 22 is positioned within the light-transmitting zone 1b, with the light-emitting portion of the light guide 22 exposed to the outside of the front door 1. Light emitted by the light guide 22 is projected linearly toward the exterior of the clothing processing device. This eliminates the need for a light-transmitting film within the light-transmitting zone 1b of the front door 1, reducing manufacturing complexity and assembly steps, and also minimizing light energy loss.

[0070] For example, see Figure 4 The front door assembly 100 includes a sealing ring 4, which is disposed around the gap and is tightly sandwiched between the inner surface of the front door 1 and the light guide 22. The sealing ring 4 can seal the gap between the inner surface of the front door 1 and the light guide 22, preventing liquids such as water and laundry detergent from flowing along the outer surface of the front door 1 to the light-transmitting zone 1b and seeping into the light strip device 2, thereby preventing the light strip device 2 from short-circuiting.

[0071] The shape of the sealing ring 4 matches the shape of the light-transmitting zone 1 b. The material of the sealing ring 4 is not limited and any existing sealing material can be used, such as silicone, rubber, etc.

[0072] The specific structure of the light guide 22 is not limited. For example, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The light guide 22 includes a support plate 222 and a light guide column 221 mounted on the support plate 222. The light strip 21 is located at the end of the light guide column 221 facing away from the light-transmitting zone 1b. The light guide column 221 directs the light emitted by the light strip 21 toward the exterior of the front door 1. The support plate 222 provides a mounting and support location for the light guide column 221. The light guide 22 is directly or indirectly mounted to the reinforcement plate 3 via the support plate 222.

[0073] It should be noted that the sealing ring 4 is sandwiched between the bracket plate 222 and the inner surface of the front sealing door 1 .

[0074] The support plate 222 and the light guide column 221 can be an integrally formed plastic part. The specific material of the light guide 22 is not limited, for example, polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, polycarbonate, etc.

[0075] For example, see Figure 8 The light path propagation direction of the light guide column 221 is approximately perpendicular to the support plate 222, and opposite ends of the light guide column 221 protrude from the surface of the support plate 222. Specifically, the light guide column 221 includes a light input section 2211 and a light output section 2212. The light input section 2211 protrudes from the side of the support plate 222 facing the light strip 21, and the light output section 2212 protrudes from the side of the support plate 222 facing the light-transmitting zone 1b.

[0076] It should be noted that the end face of the light-incoming section 2211 is the light-incoming surface 221a, and the end face of the light-emitting section 2212 is the light-emitting surface 221b. Light emitted by the light strip 21 enters the light-incoming section 2211 from the light-incoming surface 221a, propagates from the light-incoming section 2211 to the light-emitting section 2212, and is emitted from the light-emitting surface 221b.

[0077] For example, please refer to Figure 8 Along the light path propagation direction of the light guide 22, the light transmission area of the light entrance section 2211 gradually increases. In this way, the light entrance section 2211 can diffuse the light entering it, making the light emitted from the light output surface 221b of the light output section 2212 softer.

[0078] For example, see Figure 8 The cross-sectional shape of the light incident section 2211 is roughly trapezoidal, and the top surface 221c and the bottom surface 221d of the light incident section 2211 are both inclined surfaces. Along the light propagation direction of the light guide 22, the distance between the top surface 221c and the bottom surface 221d of the light incident section 2211 gradually increases, so that the light-transmitting area of the light incident section 2211 gradually increases.

[0079] For example, see Figure 8 The angle θ between the top surface 221c of the light incident section 2211 and the horizontal plane is greater than 0° and less than 10°, and the angle β between the bottom surface 221d of the light incident section 2211 and the horizontal plane is greater than 0° and less than 10°, so that both the diffusion of light and the compact overall size can be taken into account.

[0080] For example, see Figure 6 The light strip device 2 includes an adapter 24, on which the bracket plate 222 and the light strip 21 are both mounted. The light guide 22 is connected to the adapter 24 via the bracket plate 222. The light strip device 2 is detachably connected to the reinforcing plate 3 via the adapter 24. During assembly, the light strip device 2 can be assembled into a pre-assembled unit, which is then mounted on the reinforcing plate 3 via the adapter 24. This reduces assembly time and improves assembly efficiency. When disassembly is required, simply remove the adapter 24 from the reinforcing plate 3, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0081] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 10, the adapter 24 is provided with a plug-in slot 241a, and the opposite sides of the plug-in slot 241a are open. Specifically, the plug-in slot 241a is open on opposite sides along the light path propagation direction of the light guide column 221. The light input section 2211 is inserted into the plug-in slot 241a from the opening on one side of the plug-in slot 241a, that is, along the front and back direction of the clothing processing device, the light guide 22 is roughly located between the adapter 24 and the front sealing door 1. The light strip 21 covers the opening on the other side of the plug-in slot 241a. It can be understood that the adapter 24 is made of an opaque material. The light emitted by the light strip 21 enters the plug-in slot 241a and enters the light input section 2211 of the light guide column 221. It should be noted that the light-emitting position of the light strip 21 is located within the area defined on the light strip 21 at the opening of the plug-in slot 241a. In this way, the light emitted by the light strip 21 can basically only enter the plug-in slot 241a and enter the light guide 22, thereby improving the utilization rate of light.

[0082] Exemplarily, the light strip 21 is formed by assembling LEDs onto a strip of flexible circuit board. The LEDs are located on the side of the flexible circuit board facing the light guide 221, and are positioned within the area defined by the opening of the insertion slot 241a on the light strip 21. The flexible circuit board can be connected to the adapter 24 in any manner, for example, by adhesive bonding.

[0083] The specific structure of the adapter 24 is not limited. For example, please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 The adapter 24 includes a box body 241, which is open on the side facing away from the front door 1. The light strip 21 is arranged in the box body 241, and the box body 241 plays a protective role for the light strip 21. The side wall 2412 of the box body 241 near the front door 1 is formed with an insertion groove 241a.

[0084] The specific connection method between the bracket plate 222 and the adapter 24 is not limited. For example, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The bracket plate 222 is formed with a plurality of first elastic pieces 2221 extending away from the front door 1 on its periphery. The plurality of first elastic pieces 2221 are arranged around the periphery of the box body 241. A first hook 2411 is provided on one of the periphery of the box body 241 and the first elastic pieces 2221, and a first engaging groove 222a is provided on the other of the first elastic pieces 2221. The first hook 2411 engages with the first engaging groove 222a. This engaging engagement allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the bracket plate 222 and the adapter 24.

[0085] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, all the first hooks 2411 are arranged on the first spring piece 2221, and all the first card slots 222a are arranged on the peripheral surface of the box body 241; in other embodiments, all the first hooks 2411 are arranged on the peripheral surface of the box body 241, and all the first card slots 222a are arranged on the first spring piece 2221; in still other embodiments, some of the first hooks 2411 are arranged on the peripheral surface of the box body 241, and the remaining first hooks 2411 are arranged on the first spring piece 2221, some of the first card slots 222a are arranged on the first spring piece 2221, and the remaining first card slots 222a are arranged on the peripheral surface of the box body 241.

[0086] The peripheral surface of the box body 241 refers to the wall surfaces of the box body 241 in the upper, lower, left, and right directions.

[0087] For example, see Figure 9 and Figure 10 The adapter 24 includes a rib 242 protruding from the peripheral surface of the box body 241. The rib 242 is provided with a through hole 242a. The first spring piece 2221 is inserted into the through hole 242a. The cooperation between the first spring piece 2221 and the through hole 242a can reduce the probability of the first spring piece 2221 being separated from the box body 241, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the first spring piece 2221 and the adapter 24. In addition, during the assembly process, the through hole 242a plays a pre-positioning role for the first spring piece 2221. When all the first spring pieces 2221 are inserted into the corresponding through holes 242a, the first spring piece 2221 is basically in the correct assembly position. Then, press the first spring piece 2221 firmly to hook the first hook 2411 into the first slot 222a, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0088] Exemplarily, the adapter seat 24 includes a plurality of second elastic pieces 243 , which are arranged along the circumference of the box body 241 . The adapter seat 24 is buckled with the reinforcing plate 3 via the second elastic pieces 243 .

[0089] It should be noted that the position of each second elastic piece 243 does not interfere with the first elastic piece 2221. For example, in an embodiment with a rib 242, the second elastic piece 243 is connected to the edge of the rib 242.

[0090] Illustratively, a partial area of the reinforcing plate 3 is punched out to form a punching notch 3a and a plurality of third spring clips 32 protruding toward the side away from the front sealing door 1. The plurality of third spring clips 32 are arranged at intervals along the edge of the punching notch 3a and jointly define an installation area 3b. The light strip device 2 can be installed into the installation area 3b from the side of the reinforcing plate 3 away from the front sealing door 1, that is, the plurality of third spring clips 32 surround the light strip device 2.

[0091] The second elastic piece 243 is detachably coupled to the third elastic piece 32. Specifically, one of the second elastic piece 243 and the third elastic piece 32 is provided with a second hook portion 2431, and the other is provided with a second slot 32a, and the second hook portion 2431 and the second slot 32a are engaged with each other.

[0092] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, all the second hooks 2431 are arranged on the second spring piece 243, and all the second slots 222a are arranged on the third spring piece 32; in other embodiments, all the second hooks 2431 are arranged on the third spring piece 32, and all the second slots 222a are arranged on the second spring piece 243; in still other embodiments, some of the second hooks 2431 are arranged on the third spring piece 32, and the remaining second hooks 2431 are arranged on the second spring piece 243, some of the second slots 222a are arranged on the second spring piece 243, and the remaining second slots 222a are arranged on the third spring piece 32.
