[0038] In the related art, a conventional wall-mounted double-barrel washing and drying integrated machine usually has two washing and drying barrels or one washing and drying barrel and a drying barrel. The two barrels work independently, and there is no association between their operations. When the wall-mounted double-barrel washing and drying integrated machine is working, the covers of the two barrels need to be opened separately. When washing clothes, the corresponding covers need to be closed separately, and after the washing is completed, the corresponding covers need to be opened separately. When the user opens the two barrel doors simultaneously, the existing door opening method makes the user's operation cumbersome and complex, and frequent door opening also affects the user experience.

[0039] In the prior art, a wall-mounted double-barrel washing and drying integrated machine arranges the cover of the washing barrel and the cover of the drying barrel on the same side of the wall-mounted double-barrel washing and drying integrated machine. The two covers are symmetrically arranged and both open outward. However, when using this device to wash and dry clothes, the two covers still need to be opened separately. This technology does not solve the problem of the cumbersome operation of frequent door opening. Therefore, it has become an urgent problem in the art to design a structure of a double-barrel wall-mounted double-barrel washing and drying machine that can reduce the door opening action.

[0040] Next, refer to Figures 1-4 Describe the wall-mounted double-barrel washing and drying integrated machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the wall-mounted double-barrel washing and drying integrated machine 1 according to the present invention includes: a washing barrel 10, a drying barrel 20, and a locking mechanism 50. The washing barrel 10 and the drying barrel 20 are arranged in parallel and respectively have a first cover 30 and a second cover 40. The washing barrel 10 has a washing cavity, and the drying barrel 20 has a drying cavity. After the laundry is washed in the washing cavity, it can be transferred from the washing barrel 10 to the drying cavity of the drying barrel 20 for drying. The first cover 30 is movably provided on the washing barrel 10, and the first cover 30 can control the opening or closing of the washing cavity. The second cover 40 is movably provided on the drying barrel 20, and the second cover 40 can control the opening or closing of the drying cavity. The first cover 30 and the second cover 40 are arranged to be openable in a direction away from each other. Specifically, the user can open the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 from the position where the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 are close to each other, and after being opened, the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 move in a direction away from each other.

[0042] The locking mechanism 50 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking mechanism 50 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 are synchronously unlocked. Further, the locking mechanism 50 can be arranged between the washing barrel 10 and the drying barrel 20. Specifically, the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 are respectively arranged on the washing barrel 10 and the drying barrel 20. Therefore, the position of the locking mechanism 50 is also between the first cover 30 and the second cover 40. The locking mechanism 50 can selectively lock the first cover 30 and the second cover 40. Specifically, the locking mechanism 50 has an unlocked state and a locked state. The unlocked state means that the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 are synchronously opened to open the washing cavity by the first cover 30 and open the drying cavity by the second cover 40. The locked state means that the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 are closed to close the washing cavity by the first cover 30 and close the drying cavity by the second cover 40. The user can adjust the locking mechanism 50 to the unlocked state to synchronously open the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 and put clothes into the washing cavity and / or the installation cavity. After the clothes are put in, the user can close the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 to close the washing cavity and the installation cavity. At this time, the locking mechanism 50 is adjusted to the locked state.

[0043] In some cases, after the clothes in the washing drum 10 are washed, the user needs to further dry the washed clothes. Therefore, it is necessary to simultaneously open the first cover 30 of the washing drum 10 and the second cover 40 of the drying drum, so as to transfer the clothes in the washing cavity to the drying cavity. In the wall-mounted double-barrel washing and drying integrated machine 1 involved in the present invention, since the first cover 30 for opening and closing the washing drum 10 and the second cover 40 for opening and closing the drying drum 20 can be opened in directions away from each other, the locking mechanism 50 is arranged between the washing drum 10 and the drying drum 20, and the state of the locking mechanism 50 can be adjusted to control the synchronous opening of the first cover 30 and the second cover 40. This application uses the locking mechanism 50 to achieve a double-door design. By operating once, the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 can be opened, the washing drum 10 and the drying drum 20 can be opened synchronously, the number of door openings can be reduced, it is convenient for the user to put clothes, and the user experience is improved.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the first cover 30 can open and close the washing cavity by flipping, and the second cover 40 can also open and close the drying cavity by flipping. It can be understood that the ways for the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 to open and close the washing cavity and the drying cavity are not limited to flipping, and can also be other ways that can synchronously control the movement of the first cover 30 and the second cover 40.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the wall-mounted double-barrel washing and drying integrated machine 1 further includes a box body 60. The washing drum 10 and the drying drum 20 are both arranged in the box body 60. The locking mechanism 50 is arranged in the box body 60 and between the washing drum 10 and the drying drum 20. The locking mechanism 50 has a first locking tongue 52 and a second locking tongue 53. The first locking tongue 52 extends towards the washing drum 10, and the second locking tongue 53 extends towards the drying drum 20. The first locking tongue 52 cooperates with the first cover 30, and the second locking tongue 53 cooperates with the second cover 40. The locking mechanism 50 controls the movement of the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53, so as to control the opening of the first cover 30 and the second cover 40. The first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 move synchronously to achieve synchronous unlocking of the first cover 30 and the second cover 40.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1As shown, a first buckle 31 is provided on one side of the first cover 30 facing the laundry chamber. The first buckle 31 is located at a position adjacent to the first locking tongue 52 when the first cover 30 is in the closed state. The first buckle 31 is adapted to cooperate with the first locking tongue 52 so that the first cover 30 can close the laundry chamber more stably, ensuring the airtightness of the laundry chamber. A second buckle 41 is provided on one side of the second cover 40 facing the drying chamber. The second buckle 41 is located at a position adjacent to the second locking tongue 53 when the second cover 40 is in the closed state. The second buckle 41 is adapted to cooperate with the second locking tongue 53 so that the second cover 40 can close the drying chamber more stably, ensuring the airtightness of the drying chamber. The first cover 30 and the second cover 40 having the first buckle 31 and the second buckle 41 have high reliability, can ensure that the laundry chamber and the drying chamber are in an airtight state when the wall-mounted double-barrel washing and drying integrated machine 1 is working, and at the same time strengthen the cooperation stability between the first cover 30 and the second cover 40 and the locking mechanism 50.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first buckle 31 is provided on one side of the first cover 30 facing the laundry chamber and the first buckle 31 is in a "U" shape. The opening direction of the "U" shape faces the first locking tongue 52. When the locking mechanism 50 is in the locked state, the first locking tongue 52 extends into the opening of the "U" shape of the first buckle 31 to lock the first cover 30. The second buckle 41 is provided on one side of the second cover 40 facing the drying chamber and the second buckle 41 is in a "U" shape. The opening direction of the "U" shape faces the second locking tongue 53. When the locking mechanism 50 is in the locked state, the second locking tongue 53 extends into the opening of the "U" shape of the second buckle 41 to lock the second cover 40, and the movements of the first buckle 31 and the second buckle 41 are synchronized. It can be understood that the shapes of the first buckle 31 and the second buckle 41 are not limited to this, and the first buckle 31 and the second buckle 41 can be constructed into any structure capable of realizing the cooperation and locking with the corresponding locking tongues.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 2-4 shown, the locking mechanism 50 includes a box body 51, a first slideway 54, a second slideway 55, a first locking tongue 52, a second locking tongue 53 and a button 56. The box body 51 is arranged on the box body 60. A first slideway 54 and a second slideway 55 are formed in the box body 51. The first slideway 54 faces the first cover 30, and the first locking tongue 52 is slidably arranged in the first slideway 54. The second slideway 55 faces the second cover 40, and the second locking tongue 53 is slidably arranged in the second slideway 55. The button 56 is movably arranged on the box body 51. The button 56 is adapted to drive the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 to move towards each other, and the user can switch the locking mechanism 50 from the locked state to the unlocked state by pressing the button 56.

[0049] Specifically, as Figures 2-4As shown, the first locking tongue 52 can move towards or away from the first cover body 30 within the first slideway 54, and the second locking tongue 53 can move towards or away from the second cover body 40 within the second slideway 55. When the user presses the button 56, the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 move towards each other within the first slideway 54 and the second slideway 55 respectively, and the locking mechanism 50 changes from the locked state to the unlocked state, and the first cover body 30 and the second cover body 40 are opened, and the washing cavity and the drying cavity are also opened accordingly. When the user releases the button 56, the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 move away from each other within the first slideway 54 and the second slideway 55 respectively; if the first cover body 30 and / or the second cover body 40 is closed, the first locking tongue 52 moves to cooperate with the first buckle 31 of the first cover body 30, and the second locking tongue 53 moves to cooperate with the second buckle 41 of the second cover body 40, and at this time the locking mechanism 50 is in the locked state.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 2-4 As shown, a first guiding inclined surface 521 is formed on the first locking tongue 52, and a second guiding inclined surface 531 is formed on the second locking tongue 53. The first guiding inclined surface 521 and the second guiding inclined surface 531 are adapted to cooperate with the button to adjust the moving directions of the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 within the first slideway 54 and the second slideway 55. Among them, the first guiding inclined surface 521 and the second guiding inclined surface 531 are inclined in a direction away from each other in the direction away from the button 56. A first guiding surface 561a and a second guiding surface 561b are formed on the button 56. The first guiding surface 561a and the second guiding surface 561b are adapted to guide the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 to move towards or away from each other. Among them, the first guiding surface 561a and the first guiding inclined surface 521 cooperate to decompose a part of the driving force applied by the button 56 into a component force in the first slideway 54 to drive the first locking tongue 52 to move; similarly, the second guiding surface 561b and the second guiding inclined surface 531 cooperate to decompose a part of the driving force applied by the button 56 into a component force in the second slideway 55 to drive the second locking tongue 53 to move. During the driving process of the button 56, the first guiding surface 561a and the second guiding surface 561b contact and exert force on each other with the first guiding inclined surface 521 and the second guiding inclined surface 531 to drive the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 to move; when the locking mechanism 50 is in the locked state, the first guiding surface 561a and the first guiding inclined surface 521 are disengaged from each other, and the second guiding surface 561b and the second guiding inclined surface 531 are disengaged from each other.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 2-4As shown in the figure, the button 56 includes a base plate 561. Both ends of the lower surface of the base plate 561 protrude towards the inside of the box body 51. The first guiding surface 561a and the second guiding surface 561b are arranged at both ends of the lower surface of the base plate 561. When the user presses the button 56, the button 56 drives the base plate 561 to move towards the inside of the box body 51. Since the first guiding surface 561a and the second guiding surface 561b are located on the base plate 561, the first guiding surface 561a applies a force to the first guiding inclined surface 521 and slides along the first guiding inclined surface 521. The first guiding inclined surface 521 drives the first locking tongue 52 to slide in the first sliding channel 54 towards the direction of the second locking tongue 53. At the same time, the second guiding surface 561b applies a force to the second guiding inclined surface 531 and slides along the second guiding inclined surface 531. The second guiding inclined surface 531 drives the second locking tongue 53 to slide in the second sliding channel 55 towards the direction of the first locking tongue 52, and the locking mechanism 50 changes from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 2-4 shown, two grooves are symmetrically formed on the surface of the base plate 561 facing the box body 51. The two grooves are respectively adjacent to the first guiding surface 561a and the second guiding surface 561b. The two grooves are arranged close to each other. The grooves are adapted to avoid the edges of the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 when the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 move towards each other, so as to prevent hindering the locking mechanism 50 from changing from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 2-4 shown, a first elastic member 57 is arranged between the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53. The first elastic member 57 is adapted to reset the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 after the user releases the button 56. Further, a receiving bracket 511 is arranged between the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53. There may be two first elastic members 57. The two first elastic members 57 are respectively arranged between the receiving bracket 511 and the first locking tongue 52, and between the receiving bracket 511 and the second locking tongue 53. The first elastic member 57 can be supported by the receiving bracket 511. Further still, the first elastic member 57 is a spring. First support columns and second support columns extending in the first sliding channel 54 and the second sliding channel 55 can be arranged on both sides of the receiving bracket 511 facing away from each other. The spring can be sleeved on the corresponding support columns.

[0054] When the locking mechanism 50 changes from locked to open, the first elastic member 57 contracts under the action of the forces of the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53; when the locking mechanism 50 changes from open to locked, the first elastic member 57 resets and applies a force to push the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 to move away from each other. It can be understood that the first elastic member 57 is not limited to a spring, as long as the expansion and contraction and reset of the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 can be realized.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 2-4 shown, a first slide groove 541 is provided in the first slideway 54. The first slide groove 541 is arranged in the extending direction of the first slideway 54. A first protrusion 522 is provided on the first locking tongue 52. The first protrusion 522 cooperates with the first slide groove 541. A second slide groove 551 is provided in the second slideway 55. The second slide groove 551 is arranged in the extending direction of the second slideway 55. A second protrusion 532 is provided on the second locking tongue 53. The second protrusion 532 cooperates with the second slide groove 551. The first slideway 54 and the second slideway 55 are adapted to define the lateral movement of the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53. The first slide groove 541 and the second slide groove 551 are adapted to cooperate with the first protrusion 522 and the second protrusion 532 to prevent the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 from moving longitudinally. The setting of the first protrusion 522 and the second protrusion 532 can make the sliding of the first locking tongue 52 and the second locking tongue 53 stable.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 2-4 shown, the first locking tongue 52 is arranged in the first slideway 54. A first slide groove 541 is arranged in the extending direction of the first slideway 54. A first protrusion 522 is provided on the first locking tongue 52. The first protrusion 522 can cooperate with the first slide groove 541. The first locking tongue 52 includes a locking tongue body and a locking tongue protrusion provided on the locking tongue body. The locking tongue protrusion is adapted to be clamped with the first buckle 31. The middle part of the locking tongue body is recessed inward to form a first guiding inclined surface 521.
