[0049] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0050] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1-12 A control method for a garment care device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0051] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the garment care device 80 includes a housing assembly 81, a drying tunnel assembly, and a care box 1. The housing assembly 81 has a first care chamber 811, a ventilation chamber 813, and an air vent 814. Users can place the garments or other items they need to store in the first care chamber 811. The ventilation chamber 813 and the air vent 814 are connected to the first care chamber 811. The drying tunnel assembly has an air duct 821, which can process the air in the air duct 821.

[0052] The inlet 823 of the air duct 821 is communicated with the first care cavity 811, and the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 is selectively communicated with the ventilation cavity 813 and the air passageway 814, so that the air in the air duct 821 can enter the first care cavity 811 from at least one of the ventilation cavity 813 or the air passageway 814, and the air in the first care cavity 811 can enter the air duct 821 from the inlet 823 of the air duct 821, thereby realizing the circulating flow of the air in the air duct 821 and the first care cavity 811, and performing care on the clothes or other articles in the first care cavity 811.

[0053] The care box 1 is detachably arranged in the first care cavity 811, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 The care box 1 has a second care cavity 11, an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14, and when the care box 1 is installed in place in the first care cavity 811, the air inlet 13 is communicated with the outlet 822 of the air duct 821, and the air outlet 14 of the care box 1 is communicated with the inlet 823 of the air duct 821, at this time, the air in the air duct 821 can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13, and the air in the second care cavity 11 can flow to the air duct 821 from the air outlet 14, thereby realizing the circulating flow of the air in the air duct 821 and the second care cavity 11, and performing care on the articles in the second care cavity 11.

[0054] The control method of the clothes care device comprises the following steps:

[0055] S1: detecting the installation state of the care box in the first care cavity;

[0056] Specifically, the clothes care device 80 can comprise a first sensing member 73 and a second sensing member, the first sensing member 73 is arranged on the care box 1, and the second sensing member is arranged on the box assembly 81, and when the care box 1 is installed in place in the first care cavity 811, the first sensing member 73 and the second sensing member can be inducted to each other; or a micro switch can be arranged on the corresponding position of the box assembly 81, and when the care box 1 is installed in place in the first care cavity 811, the care box 1 can touch the micro switch.

[0057] S2: determining that the care box is installed in place in the first care cavity;

[0058] S3: obtaining the care information indicated by the clothes care device;

[0059] If the care box is installed in the first care chamber 822 and the clothing care device 80 obtains care information and needs to care for the items in the second care chamber 11, the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 can be connected to the air inlet 814 so that the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 is connected to the air inlet 13. At this time, the air in the air duct 821 can enter the second care chamber 11 from the air inlet 13, and the air in the second care chamber 11 can enter the air duct 821 from the air outlet 14, thereby realizing the circulation of air in the air duct 821 and the first care chamber 811 to care for the clothing or other items in the first care chamber 811.

[0060] In other words, when the care box 1 is placed in the first care chamber 811 and installed in the first care chamber 811, the outlet 822 of the control air duct 821 is connected to the air outlet 814, and at this time the garment care device 80 can care for the items in the second care chamber 11.

[0061] Specifically, the space inside the first care chamber 811 is larger than the space inside the second care chamber 11. When smaller or special items need physical care, the items can be placed in the care box 1. For example, when shoes need care, the shoes can be placed in the care box 1, and then the care box 1 can be placed in the first care chamber 811, so that the care box 1 is properly installed in the first care chamber 811. When the care information indicates that the items in the second care chamber 11 need care, the outlet 822 of the control air duct 821 is connected to the air outlet 814, so that the air in the air duct 821 can enter the second care chamber 11, thereby caring for the shoes in the second care chamber 11. This facilitates the full care of the shoes in the second care chamber 11, improves the efficiency of shoe care, and avoids the shoes from polluting other areas.

[0062] Therefore, the control method of the clothing care device according to the embodiment of the present invention can care for the items in the care box 1 separately, which can improve the care efficiency.

[0063] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1-11 A control method for a garment care device according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 As shown, the ventilation cavity 813 extends in the vertical direction. It should be understood that the above-mentioned directional limitation is only for the convenience of describing the attached drawings and does not limit the actual setting position and direction of the control method of the garment care device. An air inlet is provided above the first care cavity 811, which is connected to the ventilation cavity 813. The air outlet 814 is located below the first care cavity 811.

[0065] When the care box 1 is not placed in the first care cavity 811, and the care information of the laundry care apparatus 80 indicates that the items in the first care cavity 811 need to be cared for, the air treated by the drying assembly in the air duct 821 can enter the first care cavity 811 from at least one of the air inlet portion above the first care cavity 811 and the air passage 814 below the first care cavity 811 to care for the items in the first care cavity 811.

[0066] When the laundry care apparatus 80 detects that the care box 1 is in the first care cavity 811, the care box 1 is installed in place in the first care cavity 811, and the care information of the laundry care apparatus 80 indicates that the items in the first care cavity 811 need to be cared for, the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 is controlled to communicate with the ventilation cavity 813, and the air treated by the drying assembly can enter the first care cavity 811 from the air inlet portion above the first care cavity 811 along the ventilation cavity 813 to care for the items in the first care cavity 811.

[0067] When the laundry care apparatus 80 detects that the care box 1 is in the first care cavity 811, the care box 1 is installed in place in the first care cavity 811, and the care information of the laundry care apparatus 80 indicates that the items in the second care cavity 11 need to be cared for, the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 is controlled to communicate with the air passage 814, and the air treated by the drying assembly can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13 through the air passage 814 to care for the items in the second care cavity 11.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 、 Figure 11 The laundry care apparatus 80 further includes an air door 83 for opening and closing the air passage 814, so as to selectively communicate the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 with the ventilation cavity 813 and the air passage 814.

[0069] When the air door 83 closes the air passage 814, the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 communicates with the ventilation cavity 813, and the air in the ventilation cavity 813 can enter the first care cavity 811 to care for the laundry in the first care cavity 811.

[0070] When the air door 83 opens the air passage 814, the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 communicates with the air passage 814, and when the care box 1 is installed in place in the first care cavity 811, the air in the air duct 821 can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air passage 814 to care for the laundry in the second care cavity 11.

[0071] When the care information indicated by the clothes care device 80 is acquired, and the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 is controlled to be communicated with the air inlet 13 through the air passage 814, the air passage 814 can be controlled to be opened to communicate the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 with the air inlet 13.

[0072] Specifically, when the care box 1 is placed in the first care cavity 811, the care information of the clothes care device 80 indicates that the items in the second care cavity 11 need to be cared, the air door 83 is controlled to be opened to communicate the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 with the air inlet 13 through the air passage 814, so that the air in the air duct 821 can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13 through the air passage 814 to care the items in the second care cavity 11.

[0073] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the air door 83 is movable between the first position and the second position, when the air door 83 is in the first position, the air door 83 closes the air passage 814 to communicate the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 with the air passage 813, so that the air in the air duct 821 can enter the first care cavity 811 through the air passage 813 to care the items in the first care cavity 811.

[0074] When the air door 83 is in the second position, the air door 83 opens the air passage 814 to communicate the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 with the air passage 814, so that the air in the air duct 821 can flow to the designated space from the air passage 814.

[0075] Specifically, when the care box 1 is placed in the first care cavity 811, the care information of the clothes care device 80 indicates that the items in the second care cavity 11 need to be cared, the air door 83 is controlled to be opened to communicate the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 with the air passage 814, so that the air in the air duct 821 can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13 through the air passage 814 to care the items in the second care cavity 11.

[0076] In some embodiments, when the care box 1 is not placed in the first care cavity 811, and the care information of the clothes care device 80 indicates that the items in the first care cavity 811 need to be cared, the air door 83 can be controlled to be rotated to the first position or the second position, so that the air in the air duct 821 can enter the first care cavity 811 through the air passage 813, or the air in the air duct 821 can enter the first care cavity 811 through the air passage 814 to care the items in the first care cavity 811.

[0077] In some embodiments, when the damper 83 is moved to the first position, the damper 83 is rotated to the position of the air outlet 814 to close the air outlet 814, and the air passage 821 is in communication with the air chamber 813, so that the air in the air passage 821 treated by the drying passage assembly can enter the air chamber 813, and then enter the first care chamber 811 from the air inlet above the first care chamber 811 along the air chamber 813, so as to perform care on the articles in the first care chamber 811.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the damper 83 is moved to the second position, the damper 83 is rotated to the end of the air chamber 813 to disconnect the air passage 821 and the air chamber 813, and connect the air passage 821 and the air outlet 814, so that the air in the air passage 821 treated by the drying passage assembly can enter the first care chamber 811 or the second care chamber 11 from the air outlet 814 below the first care chamber 811.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the damper 83 is moved to the second position, the damper 83 is rotated to the end of the air chamber 813 to disconnect the air passage 821 and the air chamber 813, and connect the air passage 821 and the air outlet 814, so that the air in the air passage 821 treated by the drying passage assembly can enter the first care chamber 811 or the second care chamber 11 from the air outlet 814 below the first care chamber 811.

[0080] In some embodiments, when the damper 83 is moved to the second position, the damper 83 is rotated to the end of the air chamber 813 to disconnect the air passage 821 and the air chamber 813, and connect the air passage 821 and the air outlet 814, so that the air in the air passage 821 treated by the drying passage assembly can enter the first care chamber 811 or the second care chamber 11 from the air outlet 814 below the first care chamber 811.

[0081] As shown in FIG. 8, in some embodiments of the present application, after the outlet 822 of the air passage 821 is connected to the air outlet 814, the control method of the clothes care device further comprises: Figure 2

[0082] S4: controlling the clothes care device to enter a drying stage to perform drying care on the articles in the second care chamber.

[0083] In some embodiments, the drying passage assembly comprises a heating device and a fan 843, and when the clothes care device 80 is in the drying stage, the heating device and the fan 843 are controlled to work to make the hot air formed in the air passage 821 circulate between the air passage 821 and the second care chamber 11, so as to perform drying care on the articles in the second care chamber 11 by using the hot air.

[0084] ​Specifically, the heating device can heat the air in the air duct 821 to form hot air in the air duct 821, the fan 843 can drive the hot air in the air duct 821 to enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13 through the air passage 814, and the air in the second care cavity 11 can enter the air duct 821 from the air outlet 14 to circulate the hot air between the air duct 821 and the second care cavity 11, and then use the hot air to dry the articles in the second care cavity 11.

[0085] Specifically, the control method of the clothes care device includes the following steps: first, detecting the installation state of the care box 1 in the first care cavity 811; if the care box 1 is installed in place in the first care cavity 811, obtaining the care information of the clothes care device 80; if the care information of the clothes care device 80 indicates that the articles in the care box 1 need to be cared, controlling the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 to communicate with the air passage 814 so that the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 communicates with the air inlet 13, and then controlling the clothes care device 80 to enter the drying stage, at this time, the heating device and the fan 843 in the air duct 821 work, the fan 843 drives the hot air in the air duct 821 to enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13 to dry the articles in the care box 1.

[0086] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the heating device includes a heat pump system, the evaporator 841 and the condenser 842 of the heat pump system are arranged in the air duct 821, the evaporator 841 and the condenser 842 can dry the air in the air duct 821, and controlling the heating device to work includes controlling the compressor of the heat pump system to work, the compressor can compress the heat transfer agent to form high-temperature and high-pressure heat transfer agent.

[0087] Specifically, the heat transfer agent can flow between the compressor, the evaporator 841 and the condenser 842, the compressor can pressurize the heat transfer agent to form high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous heat transfer agent, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous heat transfer agent forms high-temperature and high-pressure liquid heat transfer agent after passing through the condenser 842 and releases heat at the condenser 842, the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid heat transfer agent flows through the evaporator 841 to form low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous heat transfer agent and absorbs heat at the evaporator 841, and then flows to the compressor, through the circulation of the heat transfer agent between the compressor, the condenser 842 and the evaporator 841 to realize the drying treatment of the air in the air duct 821.

[0088] That is, the heat exchange agent can absorb heat at the evaporator 841, and when the air in the air duct 821 flows through the evaporator 841, the water vapor in the air releases heat to generate condensed water to dry the air. The evaporator 841 can process the air into low-temperature dry air. The heat exchange agent releases heat at the condenser 842, and when the dry air flows through the condenser 842, the heat released at the condenser 842 can heat the air to form dry and high-temperature air.

[0089] The control method of the clothes care device includes the following steps: first, detecting the installation state of the care box 1 in the first care cavity 811; if the care box 1 is installed in place in the first care cavity 811, obtaining the care information of the clothes care device 80; if the care information of the clothes care device 80 indicates that the items in the care box 1 need to be cared for, controlling the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 to communicate with the air inlet 13 through the air passage 814, and then controlling the clothes care device 80 to enter the drying stage, controlling the compressor to work, and using the heating device to form dry and high-temperature air in the air duct 821, and controlling the fan 843 to work to drive the dry and high-temperature air in the air duct 821 to enter the second care cavity 11 through the air inlet 13 to dry the items in the care box 1.

[0090] It should be noted that the compressor and the fan 843 can be controlled to work at the same time, or the compressor can be controlled to work first, then the fan 843 can be controlled to work, or the fan 843 can be controlled to work first, and then the compressor can be controlled to work, which is not limited here.

[0091] In some optional embodiments of the present application, an ion deodorization device is arranged in the air duct 821, and in the drying stage, the ion deodorization device is also controlled to work to process the air in the air duct 821 to obtain clean air, so that the items in the second care cavity 11 do not pollute the air and affect the care of the items in the second care cavity 11 by the air.

[0092] In addition, the ion deodorization device can also sterilize the environment in the air duct 821 to ensure the cleanliness of the environment in the air duct 821.

[0093] In some embodiments, controlling the ion deodorization device to work includes controlling the ion deodorization device to work continuously for a preset time to sufficiently deodorize the air in the air duct 821, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the air in the air duct 821 and avoiding the influence of unclean air on the care of the items in the second care cavity 11.

[0094] In other embodiments, controlling the operation of the ion deodorizing device includes controlling the ion deodorizing device to operate intermittently, so as to use the ion deodorizing device to efficiently deodorize the air in the air duct 821, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the air in the air duct 821 and preventing unclean air from affecting the care of the items in the second care chamber 11.

[0095] like Figure 2 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, the garment care device 80 further includes, after the drying stage:

[0096] S5: During the cooling phase, the garment care equipment 80 controls the heating device to stop heating and controls the fan 843 to continue working, so that the cold air formed in the air duct 821 circulates between the air duct 821 and the second care chamber 11, so as to use the cold air to cool and care for the items in the second care chamber 11.

[0097] In addition, this can reduce the temperature inside the second care chamber 11, making it easier for the user to remove the care box 1 from the first care chamber 811 and take the items out of the care box 1, thus avoiding the user being burned by the excessively high temperature inside the second care chamber 11.

[0098] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, after the cooling stage of the garment care device 80, the garment care device 80 is controlled to issue an end reminder to remind the user that the care of the items in the second care chamber 11 has been completed, and thus remind the user to remove the items from the second care chamber 11 in a timely manner.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second nursing cavity 11 is provided with at least one of a deodorizing component 71, a sterilizing component, and a fragrance-enhancing component to perform different treatments on the second nursing cavity 11.

[0100] Specifically, the deodorizing component 71 can deodorize the air in the second care chamber 11 to ensure the freshness of the air in the second care chamber 11, the sterilizing component can sterilize the second care chamber 11 to treat the bacteria in the second care chamber 11, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the environment in the second care chamber 11, and the fragrance-enhancing component can increase the fragrance of the air in the second care chamber 11, thereby enhancing the fragrance of the items in the second care chamber 11 when they are being cared for.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, the garment care device 80 includes an operation panel through which the user can input care information, such as inputting information that the items in the care box 1 need to be cared for or inputting information that the items in the first care cavity 811 need to be cared for.

[0102] The following describes a garment care device 80 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0103] The laundry care device 80 according to the embodiment of the present application comprises a memory, a processor and a control program of the laundry care device 80, the control program of the laundry care device 80 is stored on the memory, the control program of the laundry care device 80 is executable on the processor, and the processor implements the control method of the laundry care device according to the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application when executing the control program of the laundry care device 80.

[0104] The laundry care device 80 according to the embodiment of the present application can separately care for the articles in the care box 1 by using the control method of the laundry care device according to the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, and the care efficiency is improved.

[0105] The box assembly 81 defines a first care cavity 811 and a containing cavity 812, the drying channel assembly is arranged in the containing cavity 812, the drying channel assembly has an air duct 821, the drying channel assembly can process the air in the air duct 821, the care box 1 is detachably arranged in the first care cavity 811, the air inlet 13 is adapted to communicate with the outlet 822 of the air duct 821, and the air outlet 14 is adapted to communicate with the inlet 823 of the air duct 821, so that the air can circulate and flow in the air duct 821 and the second care cavity 11 when the care box 1 is arranged in the first care cavity 811, and the articles in the second care cavity 11 are fully cared for by using the air processed by the drying channel assembly.

[0106] Specifically, when the articles to be cared for are small or need to be cared for separately, for example, when shoes need to be cared for, it is easy to contaminate the environment in the first care cavity 811 by directly placing the shoes in the first care cavity 811, and on the other hand, it is difficult to clean the first care cavity 811 due to the large space in the first care cavity 811, and the care efficiency of caring for the shoes by placing the shoes in the first care cavity 811 is low.

[0107] Therefore, the shoes can be placed in the second care cavity 11, and then the care box 1 is placed in the first care cavity 811, the air in the air duct 821 can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13, flow out of the second care cavity 11 from the air outlet 14 and enter the air duct 821 through the inlet 823, so that by placing the shoes in the smaller second care cavity 11, on the one hand, the care efficiency of the laundry care device 80 for the shoes is improved, and on the other hand, the care box 1 can be taken out of the first care cavity 811, and the user can clean the care box 1.

[0108] Specifically, when the articles in the second care cavity 11 are being cared, the air in the air duct 821 is treated by the drying duct assembly, and then enters the second care cavity 11 from the outlet 822 of the air duct 821 and the air inlet 13, so as to care the articles in the second care cavity 11, and the air in the second care cavity 11 enters the air duct 821 from the air outlet 14 and the inlet 823 of the air duct 821, so as to realize the circulation flow of the air in the air duct 821 and the second care cavity 11, and then the articles in the second care cavity 11 can be cared sufficiently.

[0109] When the articles to be cared are large and cannot be placed in the second care cavity 11, the care box 1 can be taken out from the first care cavity 811, and the articles are directly placed in the first care cavity 811, and the air treated by the drying duct assembly in the air duct 821 can directly enter the first care cavity 811, so as to care the articles in the first care cavity 811.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The care box 1 comprises a box body 10 and a cover body 20, the box body 10 is switchable between a folded state and an unfolded state, and the box body 10 defines the second care cavity 11 in the unfolded state, the second care cavity 11 has a taking and placing opening 12, and the user can place the articles to be cared in the second care cavity 11 through the taking and placing opening 12.

[0111] The cover body 20 is detachably arranged on the box body 10, and is used for opening and closing the taking and placing opening 12, so as to close the second care cavity 11, the box body 10 and / or the cover body 20 has an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14, the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14 are communicated with the second care cavity 11, and the air in the air duct 821 can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13, and flow out from the air outlet 14 after caring the articles in the second care cavity 11.

[0112] That is to say, when the articles to be cared are placed in the care box 1, the box body 10 can be switched to the unfolded state, at this time, the user can place the articles in the second care cavity 11 from the taking and placing opening 12, and then the cover body 20 closes the taking and placing opening 12 to close the taking and placing opening 12, so that the air outside the care box 1 can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13, and flow out from the air outlet 14 after caring the articles in the second care cavity 11.

[0113] When the care box 1 is not needed, the box body 10 can be switched to the folded state, as shown in Figure 8 This can reduce the occupied space of the box body 10, and facilitate the subsequent storage of the care box 1.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present application, the box 10 can be made of flexible material, and the user can directly operate the box 10 to switch the box 10 to the folded state or the unfolded state for use.

[0115] In some embodiments, the box 10 is made of material with certain hardness, and only needs to be compressed or folded or other operations to switch the box 10 to the folded state. When it is needed to switch the box 10 to the unfolded state, only needs to pull or unfold the box 10. For example, the box 10 can be a bellows.

[0116] In other embodiments, the box 10 is made of inflatable plastic, and only needs to be inflated when it is needed to switch the box 10 to the unfolded state. When it is needed to switch the box 10 to the folded state, the gas in the box 10 can be released, and the box 10 can be folded to reduce the occupied space of the box 10, facilitating subsequent storage of the box 10.

[0117] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The box 10 includes a base 30 and a plurality of side plates 40, the plurality of side plates 40 are arranged on the base 30, and the plurality of side plates 40 are arranged circumferentially on the base 30. Each side plate 40 can be folded along its height direction, so that the box 10 can be switched from the unfolded state to the folded state. When the side plate 40 is folded along its height direction, the height of the side plate 40 is lowered, thereby reducing the height of the box 10 and reducing the occupied space of the box 10, facilitating subsequent storage of the nursing box 1.

[0118] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the lower end of the side plate 40 is pivotally connected to the base 30, so that the lower end of the side plate 40 can rotate relative to the base 30. When the side plate 40 is folded along its height direction, the lower end of the side plate 40 can rotate relative to the base 30, so that the center of gravity of the side plate 40 moves towards the base 30, thereby reducing the height of the side plate 40, reducing the height of the box 10, reducing the occupied space of the box 10, and facilitating subsequent storage of the nursing box 1.

[0119] In some optional embodiments of the present application, each side plate 40 includes a plurality of plate portions arranged along its height direction, and adjacent two plate portions are pivotally connected, so that the adjacent two plate portions can rotate about the pivotally connected portion, thereby enabling the side plate 40 to be folded, so that the nursing cavity can be switched from the unfolded state to the folded state, thereby reducing the height of the box 10, reducing the occupied space of the box 10, and facilitating subsequent storage of the nursing box 1.

[0120] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the box body 10 further comprises a fixed ring frame 60 arranged above the base 30, and the upper end of each side plate 40 is pivotally connected to the fixed ring frame 60, so that the upper end of the side plate 40 can rotate relative to the fixed ring frame 60, and when the side plate 40 is folded along its height direction, the upper end of the side plate 40 can rotate relative to the fixed ring frame 60, and the center of gravity of the side plate 40 moves towards the fixed ring frame 60, thereby reducing the height of the box body 10, reducing the occupied space of the box body 10, and facilitating subsequent storage of the nursing box 1.

[0121] The box body 10 further comprises a support 50 adapted to be supported between the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60 to keep the box body 10 in an unfolded state, and when the box body 10 is in a folded state, the support 50 is separated from at least one of the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60, so that the support 50 no longer supports the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60, and at this time the side plate 40 can be smoothly folded along its height direction, thereby reducing the height of the box body 10, reducing the occupied space of the box body 10, and facilitating subsequent storage of the nursing box 1.

[0122] Specifically, when the support 50 is supported between the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60, the distance between the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60 can be maintained, so that the side plate 40 will not be folded along its height direction under the action of gravity or external force. When the support 50 is separated from at least one of the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60, the support 50 no longer supports the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60, and at this time the side plate 40 can be folded along its height direction, so that the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60 move towards each other, thereby reducing the height of the box body 10, reducing the occupied space of the box body 10, and facilitating subsequent storage of the nursing box 1.

[0123] In some specific embodiments of the present application, one end of the support 50 is rotatably connected to one of the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60 to mount the support 50 on the box body 10, and the other end of the support 50 is separably connected to the other one of the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60, so that when the other end of the support 50 rotates around the one end, the other end of the support 50 can be smoothly connected to or separated from the base 30 or the fixed ring frame 60, and when the other end of the support 50 is separated from the base 30 or the fixed ring frame 60, the support 50 no longer supports the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60, and at this time the side plate 40 can be smoothly folded, thereby reducing the height of the box body 10 and reducing the occupied space of the box body 10.

[0124] In some embodiments, the upper end of the support 50 is provided with a first rotating column, the fixed ring frame 60 is provided with a first rotating groove, the first rotating column is inserted into the first rotating groove, the first rotating column and the second rotating column are rotatably connected to achieve the rotating connection between the support 50 and the fixed ring frame 60, and the lower end of the support 50 is provided with a clamping part, and the base 30 is provided with a clamping matching part, which are detachably connected.

[0125] The side plate 40 includes a first plate part 41 and a second plate part 42, both of which extend in the vertical direction when the box body 10 is in the unfolded state, and the first plate part 41 is located above the second plate part 42, the lower end of the first plate part 41 and the upper end of the second plate part 42 are rotatably connected, the upper end of the first plate part 41 is provided with a second rotating column, the fixed ring frame 60 is provided with a second rotating groove, the second rotating column is inserted into the second rotating groove, and the second rotating column and the second rotating groove are rotatably connected to achieve the rotatable connection between the upper end of the first plate part 41 and the fixed ring frame 60.

[0126] The lower end of the second plate part 42 is provided with a third rotating column, the base 30 is provided with a third rotating groove, the third rotating column is inserted into the third rotating groove, and the third rotating column and the third rotating groove are rotatably connected to achieve the rotatable connection between the lower end of the second plate part 42 and the base 30.

[0127] When it is needed to switch the box body 10 to the folded state, the support 50 can be rotated around the first rotating column towards the fixed ring frame 60, so that the support 50 is rotated by a certain angle, at this time, the support 50 extends in the horizontal direction, the clamping part and the clamping matching part are disconnected, and the support 50 no longer supports the base 30 and the fixed ring frame 60.

[0128] Then the first plate part 41 is rotated around the second rotating column towards the center of the box body 10, and the second plate part 42 is rotated around the third rotating column towards the center of the box body 10, in the process of rotating the first plate part 41 and the second plate part 42, the fixed ring frame 60 and the base 30 move towards each other, at this time, the distance between the fixed ring frame 60 and the base 30 gradually decreases, when the first plate part 41 and the second plate part 42 are rotated by a certain angle and extend in the horizontal direction, the first plate part 41 is stacked above the second plate part 42, and the box body 10 is switched to the folded state.

[0129] When it is necessary to switch the box body 10 to the unfolded state, the first plate 41 should rotate around the second rotating column in a direction away from the center of the box body 10, and the second plate 42 should rotate around the third rotating column in a direction away from the center of the box body 10. During the rotation of the first plate 41 and the second plate 42, the fixing ring frame 60 and the base 30 move away from each other. At this time, the distance between the fixing ring frame 60 and the base 30 gradually increases. When the first plate 41 and the second plate 42 rotate at a certain angle and the first plate 41 and the second plate 42 extend in the vertical direction, the box body 10 is switched to the unfolded state.

[0130] Then, the support member 50 is rotated around the end of the first rotating column towards the base 30, so that the support member 50 rotates at a certain angle. At this time, the support member 50 extends in the vertical direction, and the lower end of the support member 50 rotates to the base 30. The snap-fit ​​part cooperates with the snap-fit ​​mating part, and the support member 50 can support the base 30 and the fixing ring frame 60 so that the box body 10 can be kept in the unfolded state.

[0131] In some embodiments, the support member 50 forms a support plate disposed between two adjacent side plates 40. In the unfolded state, the base 30, the plurality of side plates 40, and the support plate together define the second nursing cavity 11. That is, both the support plate and the side plates 40 form the sidewalls of the box body 10.

[0132] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second nursing cavity 11 is a cuboid cavity. The box body 10 includes two support plates, two side plates 40, a base 30, and a cover 20. The two support plates and two side plates 40 form the side walls of the second nursing cavity 11. The two support plates are arranged opposite to each other, and the two side plates 40 are arranged opposite to each other. When it is necessary to switch the box body 10 to a folded state, the two oppositely arranged support plates can be rotated and the side plates 40 can be folded, thereby reducing the height of the box body 10 and reducing the space occupied by the box body 10.

[0133] In some embodiments, the support members 50 include a plurality of support members 50 arranged circumferentially at intervals on the base 30 to provide stable support for the fixing ring frame 60 and the box body 10, thereby enabling the box body 10 to be stably kept in the unfolded state to prevent the side plate 40 from folding under the influence of gravity or when the box body 10 is affected by external forces.

[0134] In other specific embodiments of the present invention, the support member 50 is detachably disposed between the base 30 and the fixing ring frame 60. The side plate 40 includes a first plate portion 41 and a second plate portion 42. The lower end of the first plate portion 41 and the upper end of the second plate portion 42 are rotatably connected. The upper end of the first plate portion 41 is provided with a second rotating post. The fixing ring frame 60 is provided with a second rotating groove. The second rotating post is inserted into the second rotating groove, and the second rotating post and the second rotating groove are rotatably engaged to realize the rotatable connection between the upper end of the first plate portion 41 and the fixing ring frame 60. The lower end of the second plate portion 42 is provided with a third rotating post. The base 30 is provided with a third rotating groove, and the third rotating post is inserted into the third rotating groove. The third rotating post and the third rotating groove are rotatably engaged to realize the rotatable connection between the lower end of the second plate portion 42 and the base 30.

[0135] When the box 10 needs to be switched to the folded state, the support 50 should first be removed from the box 10, so that the support 50 is disengaged from the base 30 and the fixing ring 60. Then, the first plate 41 is rotated around the second rotating column towards the center of the box 10, and the second plate 42 is rotated around the third rotating column towards the center of the box 10. During the rotation of the first plate 41 and the second plate 42, the fixing ring 60 and the base 30 move towards each other. At this time, the distance between the fixing ring 60 and the base 30 gradually decreases. When the first plate 41 and the second plate 42 rotate a certain angle and the first plate 41 and the second plate 42 extend in the horizontal direction, the first plate 41 is stacked on top of the second plate 42, and the box 10 is switched to the folded state.

[0136] When it is necessary to switch the box body 10 to the unfolded state, the first plate 41 should rotate around the second rotating column in a direction away from the center of the box body 10, and the second plate 42 should rotate around the third rotating column in a direction away from the center of the box body 10. During the rotation of the first plate 41 and the second plate 42, the fixing ring frame 60 and the base 30 move away from each other. At this time, the distance between the fixing ring frame 60 and the base 30 gradually increases. When the first plate 41 and the second plate 42 rotate at a certain angle and the first plate 41 and the second plate 42 extend in the vertical direction, the box body 10 is switched to the unfolded state.

[0137] Then the support member 50 is installed on the base 30 and the fixing ring 60, and the support member 50 is used to support the base 30 and the fixing ring 60 so that the box 10 can be kept in the unfolded state.

[0138] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4As shown, the box body 10 comprises a box body 15 and an adapter 16, the box body 15 defines the second care cavity 11, the box body 15 is provided with a mounting opening 151, and the adapter 16 is arranged at the mounting opening 151, the adapter 16 defines the air inlet 13, and the adapter 16 can be docked with the external air inlet, so that the air outside the care box 1 can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13 to care the articles in the second care cavity 11.

[0139] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the adapter 16 is movably arranged between the box body 15 in the extended position and the storage position, when the adapter 16 is in the extended position, the adapter 16 extends out of the box body 15, so that when the articles in the second care cavity 11 need to be cared, the adapter 16 can be smoothly docked with the external air inlet, and the air flowing out of the external air inlet can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13 to care the articles in the second care cavity 11.

[0140] When the adapter 16 is in the storage position, the adapter 16 is stored in the box body 15, so that when the articles in the second care cavity 11 do not need to be cared, the adapter 16 can be stored in the box body 15, on the one hand, it can avoid that the articles in the external environment will scratch the adapter 16 and cause damage to the adapter 16, on the other hand, it can reduce the occupied space of the box body 10, and facilitate subsequent storage of the care box 1.

[0141] In some specific embodiments of the present application, the adapter 16 is linearly movably arranged in the box body 15, so that the adapter 16 can move between the storage position and the extended position.

[0142] When the adapter 16 moves away from the box body 15, the adapter 16 moves to the extended position, at this time, the adapter 16 extends out of the box body 15, so that when the articles in the second care cavity 11 need to be cared, the adapter 16 can be smoothly docked with the external air inlet, and the air flowing out of the external air inlet can enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13 to care the articles in the second care cavity 11.

[0143] When the adapter 16 moves towards the box body 15, the adapter 16 moves to the storage position, at this time, the adapter 16 is stored in the box body 15, so that when the articles in the second care cavity 11 do not need to be cared, the adapter 16 can be stored in the box body 15, on the one hand, it can avoid that the articles in the external environment will scratch the adapter 16 and cause damage to the adapter 16, on the other hand, it can reduce the occupied space of the box body 10, and facilitate subsequent storage of the care box 1.

[0144] In some embodiments, one end of the adapter 16 is rotatably connected to the box body 15, so that the adapter 16 is rotatably arranged on the box body 15, and the adapter 16 can rotate between the storage position and the extended position. The bottom wall of the second care cavity 11 near the installation port 151 is provided with a first accommodating groove 17 for accommodating the adapter 16. When the adapter 16 is rotated to the storage position, the adapter 16 can be accommodated in the first accommodating groove 17.

[0145] Specifically, when the box body 10 is in the folded state, the adapter 16 is accommodated in the first accommodating groove 17 to reduce the occupied space of the adapter 16, and at the same time, the adapter 16 can be prevented from being scratched by objects in the external environment. When the box body 10 is in the unfolded state, the adapter 16 can be extended out of the box body 15, so that the adapter 16 can be connected with the external air outlet. The air flowing out of the external air outlet can enter the second care cavity 11 through the air inlet 13 to care for the objects in the second care cavity 11.

[0146] As shown in Figure 8 In this embodiment, one end of the adapter 16 is provided with a fourth rotating column 161, and the box body 15 is provided with a fourth rotating groove 152. The fourth rotating column 161 extends into the fourth rotating groove 152 to rotatably connect the adapter 16 and the box body 15, so that the adapter 16 can smoothly rotate between the extended position and the storage position.

[0147] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11 The box assembly 81 further includes an air passing grille, which defines an air passing port 814. The air passing grille is arranged at an angle with the bottom of the first care cavity 811 to form an inclined air passing port 814, so that when the adapter 16 is in the extended position, the air inlet 13 can be smoothly connected with the air passing port 814.

[0148] In some examples, the air passing grille forms a 45° angle with the bottom of the first care cavity 811. When the adapter 16 is in the extended position, the air inlet 13 forms a 45° angle with the bottom of the box body 15. In this way, when the care box 1 is placed in the first care cavity 811, the air inlet 13 can be in contact with the air passing grille, so that the air in the air duct 821 treated by the drying duct assembly can smoothly pass through the outlet 822 to the air passing port 814, and then enter the second care cavity 11 from the air inlet 13 to care for the objects in the second care cavity 11.

[0149] In addition, when the care box 1 is installed into the first care cavity 811, the position of the care box 1 can be limited by the cooperation of the adapter 16 and the air passing grille, so as to install the care box 1 at a specified position in the first care cavity 811, and enable the air inlet 13 and the air passing opening 814 to be smoothly connected.

[0150] In some embodiments of the present application, the second care cavity 11 is provided with a deodorizing member 71, which can process the air when the air passes through the deodorizing member 71, so as to obtain clean air, thereby avoiding that the articles in the second care cavity 11 pollute the air when the air is used to care the articles in the second care cavity 11, and affecting the care of the articles in the second care cavity 11 by the air.

[0151] In some optional embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The bottom wall of the box body 10 is provided with a second accommodating groove 18 having an opening, which is used to accommodate the deodorizing member 71, so as to use the deodorizing member 71 to deodorize the air in the second care cavity 11, and ensure the cleanliness of the air in the second care cavity 11, thereby facilitating the sufficient care of the articles in the second care cavity 11 by the air.

[0152] The opening of the second accommodating groove 18 is provided with a cover plate 72, which can close the second accommodating groove 18, so as to avoid the direct contact between the deodorizing member 71 and the articles in the second care cavity 11, and ensure the flatness of the wall surface of the second care cavity 11, thereby avoiding the damage of the articles to the second accommodating groove 18.
