[0072] The workbench assembly 100 of the embodiment of the application can independently care for small items of laundry, such as socks, underwear, scarves, small items of clothing for babies, etc., to meet the needs of users for zoned care of small items of laundry.

[0073] The workbench assembly 100 of the embodiment of the application does not depend on the working state of the laundry treatment cavity 400a during the care process, for example, the care function assembly can care for the laundry in the care cavity 1a during the process of washing laundry in the laundry treatment cavity 400a, during the dehydration process, or when the drum 400 is in a non-working state. The care is convenient, simple and convenient, and can also improve the care efficiency of the laundry treatment machine.

[0074] In addition, since the care cavity 1a is integrated on the door cover assembly 1', the care cavity 1a does not affect the capacity of the laundry treatment cavity 400a.

[0075] For example, the care function assembly includes at least one of a drying device 61 and a steam generating device 62.

[0076] The drying device 61 is used to provide drying air flow to the care cavity 1a, and the laundry in the care cavity 1a is subjected to drying treatment by the drying air flow.

[0077] Exemplarily, the drying device 61 comprises a heating element and a fan, the fan is used to blow the heat generated by the heating element to the care cavity 1a.

[0078] The heating element can be any structure capable of heating the airflow, exemplarily, the heating element can be a positive temperature coefficient thermistor (PTC thermistor), or a heating wire, etc.

[0079] The steam generating device 62 is used to generate high-temperature steam, which can diffuse to the surface of the clothes, so that the fibers on the surface of the clothes are fully stretched, and the clothes are ironed, wrinkle-free, and sterilized.

[0080] It should be noted that the high-temperature steam refers to hot steam with a certain temperature, which can be controlled according to actual needs, for example, the temperature of the steam can be maintained at 60℃, 70℃, 80℃, 90℃, 100℃, etc.

[0081] The specific structure of the steam generating device 62 is not limited, and any steam generating device 62 in the prior art can be used, which will not be described here.

[0082] It can be understood that the care function assembly can also include sterilization devices, aromatherapy devices, etc., which are not limited here.

[0083] The sterilization device is used to provide sterilization medium to the care cavity 1a, and the sterilization medium kills bacteria in the care cavity 1a.

[0084] The specific type of sterilization medium is not limited, for example, ultraviolet light, ozone, negative ions, visible light with a wavelength of 400nm-415nm (nanometer), etc.

[0085] The aromatherapy device is used to provide special odor molecules to the care cavity 1a, and the odor molecules can diffuse to the surface of the clothes after entering the care cavity 1a, so that the clothes have a special fragrance.

[0086] It should be noted that the care function assembly is a general term for functional components that can generate clothes care medium. The number of functional components it includes can be one, two or more. For example, the above-mentioned drying device 61 is a functional component, and the steam generating device 62 is also a functional component.

[0087] The clothes treatment machine can select the above-mentioned care function assembly according to product model and other design requirements to meet the functional differentiation needs of different models of products.

[0088] For example, for some models of the laundry treating machine, the drying device 61, the steam generating device 62, the sterilizing device can be configured, in which case the number of functional components is three. For other models of the laundry treating machine, only the drying device 61 can be configured, or only the steam generating device 62, etc., in which case the number of functional components is one.

[0089] It is to be noted that in some embodiments, the air flow discharging passage 1f is configured to discharge the air flow in the care chamber 1a to the external environment, i.e. to the indoor atmosphere. In other embodiments, the air flow discharging passage 1f is configured to discharge the air flow in the care chamber 1a to the laundry loading opening 70a, i.e. to the internal environment of the laundry treating machine.

[0090] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 14 , Figure 18 The door cover assembly 1' comprises a shelf 3 for placing the laundry, which is arranged in the care chamber 1a. The laundry is placed on the shelf 3, which holds the laundry so that the laundry is kept at a certain interval from the bottom wall of the care chamber 1a, so that the hot air flow and / or steam can also better care for the laundry located at the bottom.

[0091] It is to be noted that in some embodiments, the shelf 3 is fixed in the care chamber 1a, that is, in the normal use process, the shelf 3 cannot be taken out. In other embodiments, the shelf 3 is an optional component, which can be placed in or not placed in the care chamber 1a according to actual use needs.

[0092] The specific arrangement position of the care function assembly is not limited, for example, it can be arranged on the workbench 70, or arranged on the door cover assembly 1', so as to facilitate the integrated arrangement of each functional component.

[0093] It is to be noted that in other embodiments, part of the functional components of the care function assembly are arranged on the workbench 70, and the other part is arranged on the door cover assembly 1'.

[0095] The door cover assembly 1' opens or closes the laundry loading opening 70a of the laundry treating machine through the door cover 1. Exemplarily, the rear end of the door cover 1 is rotationally connected with the workbench 70 to open or close the laundry loading opening 70a.

[0096] When the laundry needs to be treated, the sub-cover 2 is opened, a small amount of laundry is put into the treatment cavity 1a, and then the sub-cover 2 is closed. In addition, it should be noted that, since the door cover 1 itself can play a role of closing the laundry dropping opening 70a, even if the sub-cover 2 does not close the opening 1b, it does not affect the execution of the normal washing, dehydration and other main programs of the laundry treatment cavity 400a.

[0097] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figures 9 to 12 , part of the door cover 1 is recessed downward to form the treatment cavity 1a, the top side of the treatment cavity 1a is open and forms the opening 1b, and the sub-cover 2 is arranged on the door cover 1 to open or close the opening 1b.

[0098] In this embodiment, when the door cover assembly 1' is in the closed position of closing the laundry dropping opening 70a, the treatment cavity 1a is recessed into the laundry dropping opening 70a, the space of the laundry dropping opening 70a can be fully utilized, so that the workbench assembly 100 is compact in structure; in addition, the side wall around the treatment cavity 1a is also avoided from protruding from the face frame 71 of the workbench 70, so as to avoid increasing the height of the laundry treatment machine on the basis of the existing laundry treatment machine.

When the door cover 1 is in the closed state of closing the laundry dropping opening 70a, the first container 12 extends into the laundry dropping opening 70a.

[0101] Since the space of the laundry dropping opening 70a is vacant, the first container 12 is extended into the laundry dropping opening 70a, so that the space of the laundry dropping opening 70a can be fully utilized, the workbench assembly 100 is compact in structure, and the door cover assembly 1' also does not increase the appearance size of the laundry treatment machine, so as not to change the packaging size of the existing laundry treatment machine.

[0102] The shape and size of the first container 12 can be adjusted according to actual use requirements, and the space of the first container 12 can be as large as possible, so as to make the treatment cavity 1a have as large a volume as possible and improve the laundry capacity.

[0103] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 14, the door cover 1 comprises a second container 13, and the first container 12 is arranged in the second container 13, that is, the second container 13 and the first container 12 are nested. The first container 12 and the second container 13 define a cavity 1c, and the cavity 1c and the care cavity 1a are isolated from each other, that is, the laundry care medium such as steam and hot air flow cannot enter the cavity 1c.

[0104] In this embodiment, the structure of the second container 13 and the first container 12 facilitates the delivery of hot air flow and / or steam from the care function assembly to the care cavity 1a while meeting the sealing performance requirements of the care cavity 1a.

[0105] The shape of the second container 13 is not limited, but should be adapted to the shape and size of the laundry loading port 70a to ensure that the second container 13 can be placed in the laundry loading port 70a.

[0106] The connection relationship among the first container 12, the second container 13, and the cover plate 11 is not limited.

[0107] For example, in some embodiments, the first container 12 and the cover plate 11 are integrally formed, for example, integrally injection molded, and the second container 13 is sleeved outside the first container 12 from the lower side of the first container 12, and the top end of the second container 13 is connected with the cover plate 11, that is, the second container 13 is suspended below the cover plate 11.

[0108] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 14 , the second container 13 comprises a barrel body 131 with both upper and lower ends open and a barrel bottom 132 covering the bottom end of the barrel body 131, that is, the upper and lower ends of the barrel body 131 are open, and the lower end of the barrel body 131 is closed by the barrel bottom 132. The first container 12 can be placed into the barrel body 131 from the bottom side of the barrel body 131, and the barrel bottom 132 pushes the first container 12 to abut the top end of the first container 12 against the cover plate 11.

[0109] In the assembly process, the first container 12 is assembled into the barrel body 131 from the bottom side of the barrel body 131, and then the barrel bottom 132 is connected to the bottom end of the barrel body 131, and the barrel bottom 132 exerts an upward extrusion force on the first container 12 to abut the first container 12 against the bottom side of the cover plate 11, so that the installation and positioning of the first container 12 are realized.

[0110] In this embodiment, the size of the opening on the cover plate 11 for avoiding the first container 12 can be reduced, and it is not necessary to screw down from the upper side of the cover plate 11 to install the first container 12, so that no fasteners such as screws are exposed on the upper surface of the cover plate 11, and the appearance aesthetics of the door cover assembly 1' is improved.

[0111] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , the cover plate 11 is concave downward in the area around the opening 1b of the nursing cavity 1a to form a sink 111, when the sub-cover 2 is in the closed state of closing the opening 1b, the sub-cover 2 abuts against the sink 111. In this embodiment, the sink 111 can reduce the protruding degree of the sub-cover 2 protruding from the top surface of the cover plate 11, and in addition, it can also better limit the sub-cover 2.

[0122] For example, referring to Figure 2 The mounting seat 14 is connected to the bottom side of the cover plate 11.

[0123] During assembly, the lock hook 41 and the first elastic member 42 are assembled on the mounting seat 14 to form a pre-assembly whole, and then the pre-assembly whole is placed into the open end of the barrel body 131, and the screw passes through the mounting seat 14 and is screwed into the cover plate 11.

[0124] It can be understood that the mounting seat 14 and the first container 12 do not interfere with each other, and the first container 12 can be installed first, and then the mounting seat 14 can be installed. The mounting seat 14 can be installed first, and then the first container 12 can be installed.

[0125] For example, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 The door cover 1 includes a fairing 51 and a connecting shell 52 (see Figure 12), the side wall of the first container 12 is provided with a first through hole 12b, and the cover plate 11 is provided with a second through hole 11b (see Figure 12 ), the connecting shell 52 is arranged in the cavity 1c and communicates the first through hole 12b and the second through hole 11b; the flow guide shell 51 covers the top surface of the cover plate 11 and defines a flow guide cavity 51b, and the flow guide shell 51 is provided with a third through hole 51a, and the flow guide cavity 51b communicates the second through hole 11b and the third through hole 51a.

[0126] In this embodiment, the third through hole 51a, the connecting shell 52, the second through hole 11b, the flow guide shell 51, and the first through hole 12b jointly define an airflow discharge channel 1f, and the airflow in the care cavity 1a is sequentially discharged to the external environment of the clothes treatment machine through the third through hole 51a, the connecting shell 52, the second through hole 11b, the flow guide cavity 51b, and the first through hole 12b.

[0127] In this embodiment, no hole needs to be opened on the sub-cover 2, and the desired process modeling can be designed on the flow guide shell 51.

[0128] It should be noted that the flow guide shell 51 can be arranged at any appropriate position, for example, on the left side, the right side, the back side, etc. of the opening 1b.

[0129] The number of the flow guide shell 51 is not limited, which can be one or more than two.

[0130] For example, referring to Figure 1 , the number of the flow guide shell 51 is two, and the rear end of the sub-cover 2 is provided with a rotating connection part 22 (see the figure), and the opposite sides of the rotating connection part 22 along the axial direction are both provided with the flow guide shell 51 and the connecting shell 52. That is, the opposite sides of the rotating connection part 22 along the axial direction are both provided with the airflow discharge channel 1f.

[0131] It should be noted that the sub-cover 2 does not shield the flow guide shell 51, and the user can directly see the flow guide shell 51.

[0132] In this embodiment, the space on the circumferential sides of the rotating connection part 22 can be fully utilized, and the appearance is neat and beautiful.

[0133] Two embodiments will be introduced below in combination with the drawings.

[0134] First embodiment

[0135] For example, referring to Figures 1 to 6 , in this embodiment, the care function assembly is mounted on the workbench 70. For example, the care function assembly is arranged on the side of the flange 72 away from the clothes feeding opening 70a, that is, the care function assembly does not extend into the clothes feeding opening 70a.

[0136] The door cover assembly 1' is a component that needs to be frequently opened or closed. Since each functional component of the care function assembly is integrated on the workbench 70, the overall weight of the door cover assembly 1' can be lightened, the load of the door cover assembly 1' is reduced, and the service life of the door cover assembly 1' is improved. There is no need to arrange cables on the door cover assembly 1', and the reliability of each care function assembly is improved. In addition, the workbench 70 has a large assembly space, which facilitates the installation of each functional component.

[0137] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the flange 72 is provided with an output port 70b penetrating the flange 72, that is, the output port 70b is arranged on the side wall of the clothes feeding port 70a. The door cover 1 is provided with at least one channel 1d, the outlet 1d' of the channel 1d penetrates the side wall of the first container 12, and the inlet 1d" of the channel 1d penetrates the side wall of the second container 13. When the door cover 1 is in a closed state, the channel 1d communicates the care cavity 1a and the output port 70b, and the steam or hot gas flows through the output port 70b, the channel 1d and enters the care cavity 1a.

[0138] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 6 , the outer surface of the second container 13 is provided with a joint 133, and the clothes care medium flows through the joint 133. The door cover 1 includes a sealing sleeve 15, which is sleeved on the joint 133 and protrudes from the end of the joint 133. During the movement of the door cover 1 in the closing direction, the sealing sleeve 15 is elastically deformed under the extrusion of the second container 13 to sealingly abut around the output port 70b.

[0139] Specifically, during the movement of the door cover 1 in the closing direction, the relative positions of the joint 133 and the output port 70b change, the joint 133 gradually approaches the output port 70b, until the joint 133 abuts the sealing sleeve 15 around the output port 70b. At this time, the space in the joint 133 and the output port 70b are communicated, and the clothes care medium enters the channel 1d from the output port 70b through the joint 133.

[0140] When the door cover 1 is opened, the inlet 1d" of the channel 1d is separated from the side wall of the clothes feeding port 70a. In this embodiment, the structure around the inlet 1d" of the channel 1d and the side wall around the output port 70b can be separated from each other. In this way, the door cover 1 is not affected by the turning, and a special pipeline is not needed, which is simple and reliable in structure.

[0141] In this embodiment, the joint 133 facilitates the installation of the sealing sleeve 15 and provides structural support for the sealing sleeve 15 to prevent excessive deformation of the sealing sleeve 15.

[0142] It can be understood that the joint 133 can be integrally formed with at least part of the structure of the second container 13, or can be mounted on the second container 13 as an independent component.

[0143] The material of the sealing sleeve 15 is not limited, for example, silicone, rubber, etc.

[0145] It should be noted that the specific arrangement position of the output port 70b is not limited. For example, it can be arranged on the side wall of the left side, the right side, the front side, or the rear side of the clothes feeding port 70a.

[0146] In the embodiment in which the number of output ports 70b is multiple, each output port 70b can be arranged on the side wall of the same side of the clothes feeding port 70a, for example, all arranged on the side wall of the rear side; or can be arranged on the side wall of different sides, for example, part of the output ports 70b are arranged on the left side wall, and the other part of the output ports 70b are arranged on the right side wall, etc.

[0147] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the door cover 1 comprises a flow guide shell 16 arranged in the cavity 1c, i.e. the flow guide shell 16 is arranged between the second container 13 and the first container 12, and communicates the outlet 1d' and the inlet 1d'', so as to define a channel 1d.

[0148] Exemplarily, the care function assembly comprises a steam generating device 62 and a drying device 61. The steam generating device 62 and the drying device 61 are both arranged on the side of the flange 72 away from the clothes feeding port 70a.

[0149] The door cover 1 is provided with at least two mutually independent channels 1d, the outlet 1d' of each channel 1d penetrates the side wall of the first container 12, and the inlet 1d'' of each channel 1d penetrates the side wall of the second container 13.

[0150] The hot air flow of the drying device 61 is introduced into the care cavity 1a through one of the channels 1d, and the steam of the steam generating device 62 is introduced into the care cavity 1a through the other channel 1d.

[0151] Both of the two channels 1d are arranged on the rear side of the flange 72 and are arranged adjacently, so that the drying air flow can carry the steam flow, thereby improving the flow speed of the steam.
