In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0062] The embodiments of the present application provide a door cover device 100 for a workbench assembly of a laundry processing apparatus.

[0063] The embodiments of the present application provide a workbench assembly, which comprises a workbench 200 and the door cover device 100 of any embodiment of the present application.

[0064] The workbench 200 is provided with a laundry putting opening 200a, and the door cover device 100 is arranged on the workbench 200. The workbench 200 can integrate various components, such as an operation panel 11, a detergent putting box, a water inlet valve, etc.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The embodiments of the present application provide a laundry processing apparatus, which comprises a drum assembly 400 (refer to Figure 13 ), a cabinet 300 and the workbench assembly of any embodiment of the present application.

[0066] The drum assembly 400 is arranged in the cabinet 300; the drum assembly 400 has a laundry processing cavity 400a, and the top side of the laundry processing cavity 400a is open.

[0067] Specifically, the drum assembly 400 has an inner drum, the space in the inner drum is the laundry processing cavity 400a, and the laundry putting opening 200a is located directly above the inner drum. In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the inner drum is substantially along the vertical direction, for example, the laundry processing apparatus is a pulsator type processing apparatus.

[0068] The workbench assembly is arranged at the top end of the cabinet 300, and the cabinet 300 needs to bear the weight of the workbench assembly. The clothes feeding opening 200a is located above the clothes treatment cavity 400a and communicates with the clothes treatment cavity 400a. The clothes are fed into the clothes treatment cavity 400a from above the clothes treatment device through the clothes feeding opening 200a.

[0069] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 , the door cover device 100 comprises a door cover assembly 1, a sub-cover 2, and at least one functional module arranged on the door cover assembly 1.

[0070] The door cover assembly 1 is used to open or close the clothes feeding opening 200a of the clothes treatment device. Exemplarily, the rear end of the door cover assembly 1 is connected with the workbench 200, for example, rotationally connected, to open or close the clothes feeding opening 200a.

[0071] The door cover assembly 1 has a care cavity 1a for placing clothes, and the top side of the care cavity 1a has an opening 1b.

[0072] The sub-cover 2 is arranged on the door cover assembly 1 and is used to open or close the opening 1b. When the sub-cover 2 closes the opening 1b, the care cavity 1a becomes a relatively closed space, and at this time, the clothes in the care cavity 1a can be cared for.

[0073] The functional module is used to provide clothes care medium to the care cavity 1a. The functional module generates clothes care medium, and the clothes care medium enters the care cavity 1a to care for the clothes.

[0074] The specific type of the clothes care medium is not limited, for example, it can be hot air flow for drying clothes, high-temperature steam for ironing clothes, sterilization medium, odor molecules for scenting, etc.

[0075] Referring to Figure 13 , the care cavity 1a is isolated from the clothes treatment cavity 400a, and the care cavity 1a is independent of the clothes treatment cavity 400a, and the clothes care states of the two do not interfere with each other. That is, the process of caring for the clothes in the care cavity 1a by the functional module does not depend on the clothes treatment cavity 400a.

[0076] The door cover device 100 of the embodiment can independently care for small clothes, for example, socks, underwear, scarves, small clothes of infants, etc., and does not need to rotate the inner drum during the care process, so the care is convenient, simple and convenient. 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 clothes treatment cavity 400a.

[0077] The door cover device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the function module is not dependent on the working state of the clothes treatment cavity 400a for the care of the clothes in the care cavity 1a, for example, in the process of washing clothes, the dehydration process of the clothes treatment cavity 400a, or the state of the drum assembly 400 being not working, the function module can care the clothes in the care cavity 1a, and improve the care efficiency of the clothes treatment equipment.

[0078] The door cover device 100 of the embodiment of the present application can be a separate pre-installed whole, and the pre-installed whole of the door cover device 100 and other components can be assembled on the assembly line of the clothes treatment equipment, so that the assembly time of the clothes treatment equipment can be saved, and the efficiency can be improved.

[0079] The clothes treatment equipment of the embodiment of the present application only needs to change and design the door cover device 100 on the basis of the existing clothes treatment equipment, and the size and structure of the workbench 200, the drum assembly 400 and the box body 300 can remain unchanged, so that the existing production and assembly line does not need to be changed, and the injection mold also needs to be purchased again, and the existing clothes treatment equipment can be updated and replaced at a small cost.

[0080] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 13 When the door cover assembly 1 is in a state of closing the clothes throwing opening 200a, the care cavity 1a is located in the clothes throwing opening 200a. Since the clothes throwing opening 200a of the workbench 200 is an empty space, the care cavity 1a is inserted into the clothes throwing opening 200a, the space of the clothes throwing opening 200a can be fully utilized, the structure of the workbench assembly is compact, and the door cover device 100 does not increase the appearance size of the clothes treatment equipment, so that the packaging size of the existing clothes treatment equipment is not changed.

[0081] Exemplarily, the at least one function module includes any one or a combination of any multiple of the following devices: a drying device 61, a steam generating device 62, a sterilization device, and a fragrance device.

[0082] The drying device 61 is used to provide a hot air flow to the care cavity 1a, and the clothes in the care cavity 1a are dried by the hot air flow.

[0083] Exemplarily, the drying device 61 includes a heating element and a fan, and the fan is used to blow the heat generated by the heating element to the care cavity 1a.

[0084] The heating element can be any structure capable of heating the air flow, exemplarily, the heating element can be a positive temperature coefficient thermistor (PTC thermistor), and can also be a heating wire, a disc heater, etc.

[0085] The steam generating device 62 is used to generate high-temperature steam, which can diffuse to the surface of the clothes and make the fibers of the clothes fully stretch, thereby achieving the effects of ironing, wrinkle removal and sterilization on the clothes.

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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.

[0088] The sterilization device is used to provide sterilization medium to the nursing cavity 1a, and the sterilization medium can kill bacteria in the nursing cavity 1a.

[0089] 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.

[0090] It can be understood that the narrow-band visible light with a wavelength of 400nm-415nm (nanometer) can inhibit bacteria in the air and on the surface of the clothes. Specifically, the visible light of this wavelength band can induce harmful microorganisms to produce harmful active oxygen, thereby accelerating cell inactivation, but does not harm human health. Although the light of this wavelength band needs a little longer time to kill bacteria, it can be used for sterilization and disinfection regardless of whether there is a person in the surrounding environment, and can achieve continuous disinfection.

[0091] It can be understood that in the embodiment in which the sterilization medium is ultraviolet light, the sterilization device can be an ultraviolet lamp.

[0092] In the embodiment in which the sterilization medium is ozone, the sterilization device is an ozone generator.

[0093] In the embodiment in which the sterilization medium is negative ions, the sterilization device is a negative ion generator 63 (see Figure 7 ). For example, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the side wall of the nursing cavity 1a is provided with a negative ion inlet 12c, and the negative ions generated by the negative ion generator 63 enter the nursing cavity 1a through the negative ion inlet 12c, thereby achieving the effects of sterilization and disinfection on the clothes.

[0094] The aromatherapy device is used to provide special odor molecules to the nursing cavity 1a, which can diffuse to the surface of the clothes after entering the nursing cavity 1a, so that the clothes have a special fragrance.

[0095] The laundry treatment apparatus can select and match the above-mentioned functional modules according to product models and other design requirements to meet the functional differentiation requirements of different models.

[0096] For example, for some models of laundry treatment apparatus, the drying device 61, the steam generating device 62 and the sterilization device can be configured; for other models of laundry treatment apparatus, only the drying device 61 or only the steam generating device 62 can be configured, and so on.

[0097] For example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The door cover device 100 includes a shelf 3 arranged in the care cavity 1a and separating the care cavity 1a into a first sub-space 1a' and a second sub-space 1a" located below the first sub-space 1a'.

[0098] In this embodiment, the laundry is placed on the shelf 3, and the shelf 3 holds up the laundry so that the laundry is kept at a certain interval from the bottom wall of the care cavity 1a, so that the laundry care medium can also better care for the laundry located at the bottom.

[0099] The functional modules output the laundry care medium to the second sub-space 1a", that is, the laundry care medium first enters the second sub-space 1a" and then enters the first sub-space 1a', so that the laundry care medium penetrates the laundry from below and upwards from below the shelf 3, improving the laundry care effect.

[0100] For example, in the embodiment provided with the drying device 61 and / or the steam generating device 62, the drying hot gas and / or steam can penetrate the laundry from below and upwards from below the shelf 3, and the laundry located at the bottom can also be better dried and / or sterilized.

[0101] The door cover device 100 is provided with an airflow channel that communicates the first sub-space 1a' and the external environment of the door cover device 100, that is, the gas in the first sub-space 1a' is discharged through the airflow channel. Specifically, the laundry care medium flows from the second sub-space 1a" to the first sub-space 1a' and is then discharged from the airflow channel. In this way, the laundry care medium can be discharged from the airflow channel only after penetrating the laundry, improving the effectiveness of the laundry care medium.

[0102] It should be noted that the airflow channel can discharge the gas to the external environment of the laundry treatment apparatus, that is, to the indoor atmosphere, or to the internal environment of the laundry treatment apparatus.

[0103] Exemplarily, in the embodiment in which the functional module comprises the steam generating device 62, the steam generating device 62 is used to heat the water at the bottom of the care cavity 1a and generate steam to deliver the steam to the care cavity 1a. In this embodiment, the water can be concentrated at the bottom of the care cavity 1a, and the generated steam directly enters the care cavity 1a, reducing the heat loss of the steam and improving the heat energy utilization rate of the steam. In addition, directly using the bottom of the care cavity to hold water can reuse the structure of the care cavity 1a itself, without the need to set an additional structure outside the care cavity 1a to hold water, thus being compact and having a high space utilization rate.

[0104] It can be understood that, in the embodiment provided with the shelf 3, the water is held in the lower part of the second sub-space 1a", and in this embodiment, the steam penetrates the clothes placed on the shelf 3 from bottom to top, which can better sterilize and de-wrinkle all the clothes.

[0105] It can be understood that the water level will not rise into the first sub-space 1a', avoiding wetting the clothes on the shelf 3.

[0106] The steam generating device 62 can be an electric heating tube, a positive temperature coefficient thermistor, etc.

[0107] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 5 , the bottom wall of the care cavity 1a is provided with a mounting hole 12d penetrating the bottom wall, and the steam generating device 62 is mounted below the bottom wall and seals the mounting hole 12d. The heating part of the steam generating device 62 is located at the mounting hole 12d and contacts the water at the bottom of the care cavity 1a to heat the water and generate steam. In this embodiment, the steam generating device 62 does not excessively occupy the capacity of the care cavity 1a, and it is also convenient to mount the steam generating device 62 from below.

[0108] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the door cover assembly 1 comprises a water baffle 15 arranged in the care cavity 1a, the water baffle 15 is arranged above the bottom wall of the care cavity 1a, and the two define a water storage cavity 1g, and the steam generating device 62 is used for the water in the water storage cavity 1g, for example, the steam generating device 62 is arranged below the water storage cavity 1g, and the heating part of the steam generating device 62 contacts the water in the water storage cavity 1g to heat the water in the water storage cavity 1g.

[0109] The water baffle 15 is provided with a penetration hole 15a, which communicates the water storage cavity 1g and the care cavity above the water baffle 15, and the steam generated in the water storage cavity 1g enters the care cavity above the water baffle 15 through the penetration hole 15a. It should be noted that the water storage cavity 1g also belongs to part of the care cavity. In the embodiment provided with the shelf 3, the water storage cavity 1g serves as part of the second sub-space.

[0110] In this embodiment, the water shield 15 shields the water, so that the water is almost invisible from above the door cover assembly, and the experience can be improved. In addition, the steam generator 62 can also concentrate heat to heat the water in the water storage cavity 1g, so as to generate steam with high saturation.

[0111] It should be noted that the water injection position for the water storage cavity 1g is not limited, as long as water injection can be achieved.

[0112] Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the water storage cavity 1g is injected through the through hole 15a. Specifically, the user's hand can be inserted into the care cavity and pour water downward from the through hole 15a, so as to achieve water injection into the water storage cavity 1g.

[0113] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the door cover assembly 1 comprises a grille 16 arranged at the through hole 15a. The grille 16 plays a shielding and beautifying role on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the probability of foreign matter falling into the water storage cavity 1g.

[0114] It should be noted that the water storage cavity 1g can be a relatively closed space, for example, only communicating with the space outside the water storage cavity 1g through the through hole 15a; the water storage cavity 1g can also be a relatively open space, for example, the periphery of the water shield 15 is not sealingly connected with the bottom wall or side wall of the care cavity 1a, and the water in the water storage cavity 1g can seep out from the gap between the two to the space above the water shield 15.

[0115] Exemplarily, in the embodiment provided with the drying device 61, the drying device 61 is arranged outside the care cavity 1a, i.e. the drying device 61 is not arranged in the care cavity 1a, so as not to occupy the space in the care cavity 1a and not to interfere with the clothes, facilitating flexible arrangement of the drying device 61. The side wall of the care cavity 1a is provided with a first air port 12a, and the airflow generated by the drying device 61 enters the care cavity 1a through the first air port 12a. The hot airflow can carry the steam to flow, accelerate the steam flow speed, and improve the sterilization effect.

[0116] In the embodiment provided with the shelf 3, the first air port 12a is located on the side wall of the second sub-space 1a", so that the hot airflow first enters the second sub-space 1a" and then penetrates the clothes from bottom to top to enter the first sub-space 1a'.

[0117] The specific structure of the door cover assembly 1 is not limited.

[0118] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the door cover assembly 1 comprises a panel 11, a first container 12 arranged below the panel 11, and a second container 13.

[0119] The upper surface of the panel 11 is substantially part of the appearance surface of the clothes treatment apparatus.

[0120] The first container 12 is arranged in the second container 13, i.e. the first container 12 and the second container 13 are nested, and the space in the first container 12 defines the nursing cavity 1a; the installation space 1c is defined between the first container 12 and the second container 13, and at least part of the functional modules are arranged in the installation space.

[0121] In this embodiment, the first container 12 and the second container 13 provide installation positions and installation supports for the functional modules, and since the first container 12 and the second container 13 are both located below the panel 11, the position of the panel 11 can be consistent with the position of the panel of the existing clothes treatment apparatus, and the first container 12 and the second container 13 extend into the clothes feeding opening 200a without affecting the appearance size of the clothes treatment apparatus.

[0122] The shape of the second container 13 is not limited, but should be adapted to the shape and size of the clothes feeding opening 200a to ensure that the second container 13 can be placed into the clothes feeding opening 200a.

[0123] The shape and size of the first container 12 can be adjusted according to actual use requirements, for example, the space of the first container 12 can be as large as possible to make the nursing cavity 1a have as large a volume as possible to improve the clothes capacity while ensuring that the functional modules can be installed.

[0124] The connection relationship between the first container 12, the second container 13 and the panel 11 is not limited.

[0125] For example, in some embodiments, the first container 12 and the panel 11 are integrally formed, for example, integrally injection molded, and the second container 13 is sleeved outside the first container 12 from below the first container 12, and the top end of the second container 13 is connected with the panel 11, that is, the second container 13 is suspended below the panel 11.

[0126] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The second container 13 includes 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, and the functional modules are installed on the peripheral side of the first container 12 to form a pre-assembled whole, and the pre-assembled whole can be placed into the barrel body 131 from the bottom side of the barrel body 131.

[0127] In the assembly process, the functional modules are first installed on the first container 12, the functional modules and the first container 12 form a pre-assembled whole, the pre-assembled whole is assembled into the barrel body 131 from the bottom side of the barrel body 131, and then the barrel wall is connected to the bottom end of the barrel body 131.

[0128] In this embodiment, the lower end of the barrel body 131 is open to avoid each functional module, so that the pre-assembled whole can be smoothly placed into the barrel body 131. In this way, the size of the opening on the panel 11 for avoiding the first container 12 will not expose fasteners such as screws on the upper surface of the panel 11, improving the aesthetic appearance of the door cover device 100.

[0129] For example, as shown in Figure 8 , the top side of the barrel bottom 132 is provided with a protruding column 1321, the first container 12 is supported on the protruding column 1321, and the screw passes through the protruding column 1321 and is screwed into the first container 12. In addition, the top end of the first container 12 is sealingly and abuttingly fitted with the panel 11.

[0130] During the screwing of the screw into the first container 12, the top end of the first container 12 abuts against the bottom side of the panel 11 to provide a reaction force for screwing, so that the operator does not need to manually hold the first container 12, facilitating assembly. In addition, the sealing abutment of the first container 12 and the panel 11 can also prevent the nursing cavity 1a from leaking air from the abutment.

[0131] For example, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the area of the panel 11 around the opening 1b of the nursing cavity 1a is recessed downward to form a sunken platform 111, and when the sub-cover 2 is in a closed state of closing the opening 1b, the sub-cover 2 abuts against the sunken platform 111. In this embodiment, the sunken platform 111 can reduce the protruding degree of the sub-cover 2 protruding from the top surface of the panel 11, and in addition, can also better limit the sub-cover 2.

[0132] For example, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 9 , a sealing ring 112 is arranged on the sunken platform 111, and when the sub-cover 2 is closed, the bottom surface of the sub-cover 2 sealingly cooperates with the sealing ring 112 to improve the sealing performance of the nursing cavity 1a.

[0133] For example, as shown in Figure 5 , the side wall of the first container 12 is provided with a first air port 12a, wherein the side wall of the above-mentioned nursing cavity 1a is the side wall of the first container 12. For example, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , the side wall of the second container 13 is provided with a second air port 13a, the drying device 61 takes in air from the second air port 13a, and air is sent to the nursing cavity 1a from the first air port 12a.

[0134] In this embodiment, the second air inlet 13a is located below the panel 11, and when the door cover assembly 1 is in a state of closing the clothes throwing opening 200a, the second air inlet 13a is located in the clothes treatment apparatus, that is, the drying device 61 takes in air from the space in the clothes treatment apparatus, so that the noise during air suction is small; in addition, there is no need to open an air inlet hole on the surface of the cabinet 300, which does not affect the appearance of the clothes treatment apparatus.

[0135] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the drying device 61 can also take in air from the external environment of the clothes treatment apparatus.

[0136] For example, as shown in Figure 2 , the sub-cover 2 is provided with control keys 23 for controlling at least one function module. It can be understood that all control keys 23 corresponding to the function modules can be all arranged on the sub-cover 2, or only a part of them is arranged on the sub-cover 2, and the rest is integrated on the control panel of the workbench 200.

[0137] In other embodiments, all control keys 23 for controlling the function modules are integrated on the control panel of the workbench 200.

[0138] The control keys 23 can be physical keys or touch screens, etc., which are not limited here.

[0139] For example, the sub-cover 2 is provided with a display interface for displaying the running parameters of the function modules. The specific types of the running parameters are not limited, for example, they can be running time, temperature and other parameters.

[0140] For example, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 , the front end of the sub-cover 2 is provided with a door hook 21, as shown in Figure 9 , the door cover device 100 includes a lock hook 41 and a first elastic member 42, the lock hook 41 is rotatably arranged on the door cover assembly 1, for example, below the front side sink 111.

[0141] As shown in Figure 9 , the door hook 21 is locked and matched with the lock hook 41, the top of the lock hook 41 is provided with a pushing part 411, which can move in the front and back directions under the action of external force, so as to drive the lock hook 41 to rotate and release the door hook 21, that is, the rotation axis of the lock hook 41 is along the left and right directions of the clothes treatment apparatus. The first elastic member 42 is used to drive the lock hook 41 to reset.

[0142] It can be understood that the pushing part 411 can move forward or backward under the action of external force, for example, the action force applied by the user.

[0143] When the sub-cover 2 is in the closed state of closing the opening 1b, the lock hook 41 locks the door hook 21. When it is needed to open the sub-cover 2, the user pushes the actuating part 411, the lock hook 41 rotates by a certain angle until the lock hook 41 releases the door hook 21, then the user releases the actuating part 411, and the lock hook 41 is automatically reset under the action of the first elastic member 42.

[0144] In this embodiment, the lock hook 41 is in a rotating mode to realize locking and unlocking, and the required movement space is small, which can save installation space.

[0145] For example, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the actuating part 411 protrudes from the surface of the sunken table 111, the front end of the sub-cover 2 is provided with a avoiding gap 2a, and the actuating part 411 is located below the avoiding gap 2a. The avoiding gap 2a is used to avoid the actuating part 411, and the user's fingers can contact the actuating part 411.

[0146] In some embodiments, after the lock hook 41 releases the door hook 21, the user can use his hand to flip the sub-cover 2 to the required position.

[0147] In other embodiments, the door cover device 100 comprises a second elastic member, which drives the door cover assembly 1 to automatically pop open after the lock hook 41 releases the door hook 21. In this embodiment, the second elastic member can be installed at the rotating connection between the sub-cover 2 and the door cover assembly 1.

[0148] For example, referring to Figure 9 , the door cover device 1 comprises a mounting seat 14, which is arranged in the mounting cavity 1c, and the lock hook 41 and the first elastic member 42 are arranged in the mounting seat 14. The left and right sides of the lock hook 41 are rotationally connected with the mounting seat 14. The first elastic member 42 is arranged eccentrically with the rotation center line of the lock hook 41, so that the first elastic member 42 applies a torque around the rotation center line to the lock hook 41.

[0149] For example, referring to Figure 6 , the door cover assembly 1 comprises a flow guide cover 51 and a connecting shell 52, the side wall of the first container 12 is provided with a first through hole 12b, the panel 11 is provided with a second through hole 11b, the connecting shell 52 is arranged in the mounting cavity 1c and communicates the first through hole 12b and the second through hole 11b; the flow guide cover 51 is arranged on the top surface of the panel 11 and defines a flow guide cavity 51b, the flow guide cover 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.

[0150] In this embodiment, the third through hole 51a, the mounting cavity 1c, the second through hole 11b, the flow guide cavity 51b, and the first through hole 12b jointly define an airflow channel, and the airflow in the care cavity 1a is sequentially discharged to the external environment of the clothes treatment apparatus through the third through hole 51a, the mounting cavity 1c, the second through hole 11b, the flow guide cavity 51b, and the first through hole 12b.

[0151] 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 cover 51.

[0152] It should be noted that the flow guide cover 51 can be arranged at any appropriate position, for example, at the left side, the right side, the rear side, and the like of the opening 1b.

[0153] The number of the flow guide cover 51 is not limited, and can be one or more than two.

[0154] For example, the number of the flow guide cover 51 is two, and the rear end of the sub-cover 2 is provided with a rotating connection part 22 (refer to Figure 1 The rotating connection part 22 is provided with the flow guide cover 51 and the connecting cover 52 on the opposite sides in the axial direction. That is, the rotating connection part 22 is provided with the airflow channel on the opposite sides in the axial direction.

[0155] It should be noted that the sub-cover 2 does not shield the flow guide cover 51, and the user can directly observe the flow guide cover 51.

[0156] 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.
