Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of clothing processing devices, specifically, it relates to a clothing processing device housing structure and a clothing processing device having the housing structure. Background Technology

[0002] The garment handling unit's housing is generally formed by sequentially assembling a front panel, a left side panel, a back panel, and a right side panel, or by fixing a U-shaped main body to the front panel located at the opening end of the U-shaped main body. To enhance the stability of the garment handling unit's housing, an upper reinforcing component is typically installed connected to the inner top periphery of the housing, and a lower reinforcing component is installed connected to the inner bottom periphery of the housing, thus forming a monolithic structure and improving the strength of the garment handling unit's housing.

[0003] The applicant's previous technical solution disclosed a reinforcing component and a washing machine to improve the stability of the washing machine. The washing machine body is equipped with a reinforcing component for improving the stability of the washing machine, including an upper reinforcing component and / or a lower reinforcing component. The lower reinforcing component is located at the bottom of the washing machine body and is in contact with the lower side beam of the washing machine body. Both ends of the lower reinforcing component are provided with upwardly protruding bent corners. The bent corners are in contact with the front or rear of the washing machine body, respectively, so that the bent corners on both sides of the lower reinforcing component are snapped and fixed to the washing machine body. At the same time, the lower reinforcing component is fixed to the side beam of the body by riveting or fasteners, making the washing machine body more stable. However, the assembly process of the lower reinforcing component and the washing machine body is cumbersome, the assembly efficiency of the washing machine is low, and it also increases the weight of the washing machine.

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

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a housing structure for a clothing processing device to reduce the production cost of the clothing processing device; another objective of the present invention is to provide a housing structure for a clothing processing device to achieve the goal of lightweighting the housing of the clothing processing device.

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

[0007] A clothing handling device housing structure includes a housing, the front wall of which is formed by a front side panel, and lower reinforcing members are respectively provided on the lower side of the left and right side walls of the housing. A mounting wall that bends inward toward the housing is provided on the lower side of the front side panel, and the mounting wall is connected to the front side of the lower reinforcing member.

[0008] In the above solution, the lower reinforcing members located on the lower side walls of the box are connected to the mounting walls, which enhances the stability of the clothing handling device box structure. There is no need to set a lower reinforcing member at the lower part of the front side panel to enhance the support strength of the front side panel, thereby reducing the number of parts used, improving assembly efficiency, reducing production costs, and making the clothing handling device box lighter.

[0009] Furthermore, the left and right sides of the mounting wall are respectively provided with a forming structure, and the forming structures on the left and right sides are respectively fitted and assembled with the front side of the lower reinforcing member on the corresponding side.

[0010] In the above solution, the molding structure on the left and right sides of the mounting wall is simple in structure and easy to process. It increases the connection strength between the front panel and the lower reinforcing member, changes the natural frequency of the box, significantly reduces the vibration noise generated when the clothing processing device is running, and improves user satisfaction.

[0011] Furthermore, the left and right sides of the mounting wall are recessed to form a molding groove with a notch, and the front side of the lower reinforcing member is embedded into the molding groove on the corresponding side through the notch.

[0012] In the above solution, the front side of the lower reinforcing member is embedded in a notched molding groove. While ensuring the connection strength between the front side plate and the lower reinforcing member, the contact area between the mounting wall and the lower reinforcing member is reduced, thereby reducing the vibration when the rotation speed of the garment processing device reaches the resonance point.

[0013] Furthermore, the molding groove is formed by recessing the bottom part of the mounting wall into the box body.

[0014] In the above scheme, the bottom part of the mounting wall is recessed into the box to form a notched molding groove, so that the lower reinforcing member is located at the bottom of the mounting wall, which facilitates the fixed connection between the lower reinforcing member and the left and right side walls of the box. Thus, the front side panel is integrally connected with the left and right side walls of the box to form the clothing handling device box assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, the rear side of the mounting wall between the two molding grooves is bent downwards to form a reinforcing flange.

[0016] In the above scheme, the rear side of the mounting wall is bent downward to form a reinforced flange, which is simple in structure and easy to process. It enhances the support strength of the mounting wall and further improves the rigidity of the garment processing device box, thereby ensuring the safety of the garment processing device.

[0017] Furthermore, the front panel has several raised ribs or grooves formed by the recessed rear side of the front panel towards the outside of the box.

[0018] In the above scheme, several ribs and / or grooves are arranged on the front side plate, which increases the rigidity of the clothing handling device box, thereby increasing the first natural frequency of the box and preventing clamping deformation during the loading and unloading of the clothing handling device. At the same time, it greatly reduces the vibration noise generated by the clothing handling device during operation.

[0019] Furthermore, the lower side of the front panel is provided with a mounting groove that opens forward and is recessed into the box body, and the bottom of the mounting groove has a hollowed-out section.

[0020] In the above solution, the bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a hollow section, which allows the filter to be moved into or out of the drainage device through the hollow section, making it convenient for users to maintain the filter. Moreover, there is no need to set up a separate filter box, thereby reducing the number of parts used and lowering production costs.

[0021] A garment processing device having any of the box structures described above.

[0022] In the above solution, the mounting wall is connected to the lower reinforcing member located below the left and right side walls of the box. While ensuring the rigidity of the clothing processing box, the lower reinforcing member located below the front side panel is eliminated. There is no need for fasteners to fasten the lower reinforcing member to the front side panel, which reduces the number of parts used, lowers the production cost of the clothing processing device, and enhances the market competitiveness of the product.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes a drainage device installed inside the box and a filter installed inside the drainage device. The filter is moved into the drainage device through the perforated part. The filter is equipped with a knob, which is embedded in the mounting groove.

[0024] In the above solution, the filter knob is embedded in the mounting groove, allowing the filter to be moved into or out of the drainage device through the perforated part. There is no need to set up a separate filter box, thereby reducing the number of parts used, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing production costs.

[0025] Furthermore, corresponding connection holes are provided on the bottom of the mounting groove and on the drainage device. Fasteners are passed through the connection holes on the bottom of the mounting groove and on the drainage device in sequence to securely connect the front side plate and the drainage device.

[0026] In the above scheme, the drainage device is fixedly connected to the front side plate on the outer periphery of the hollow part. The connection structure is simple and compact, which is easy to install. In particular, it facilitates the installation and disassembly of the filter, which is beneficial for the maintenance and repair of the filter and extends the service life of the drainage device.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0028] 1. In this invention, the lower reinforcing members located on the lower side walls of the box are respectively connected to the mounting wall, which enhances the stability of the clothing processing device box structure. Moreover, it eliminates the need to set a lower reinforcing member on the lower side of the front panel to enhance the support strength of the front panel, reduces the number of parts used, lowers production costs, improves assembly efficiency, and makes the clothing processing device box lightweight.

[0029] 2. In this invention, several ribs and / or grooves are arranged on the front side plate to increase the rigidity of the box, thereby increasing the first natural frequency of the box and preventing clamping deformation during loading and unloading of the clothing handling device. At the same time, it greatly reduces the vibration noise generated by the clothing handling device during operation.

[0030] 3. In this invention, the front side plate is provided with an installation groove for fixing the drainage device. The filter can be moved into or out of the drainage device through the hollow part, without the need to set up a separate filter box, thereby reducing the number of parts used, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing production costs.
