Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and specifically provides a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing technologies include pull-out garment processing equipment. This type of garment processing equipment allows for the insertion or removal of laundry or other clothes and footwear for drying and deodorizing by pulling out the machine. It mainly consists of drawers and cabinets. The washing or other processing of laundry is mainly completed in the drawers, while the cabinets mainly serve to support and fix the garments. Therefore, the connection method between the drawers and the cabinets is particularly important.

[0003] Existing technologies mostly use slide rail connections for connection. However, for pulsator-type drawer washing devices, because the drawer has a washing tub inside, there will be horizontal vibrations during washing and spin-drying. The slide rail is designed to mainly bear vertical forces, and its reliability in the horizontal direction is poor. Over time, the slide rail will be damaged, causing the drawer to be difficult to pull out and eventually to be completely damaged.

[0004] Accordingly, there is a need in the field for a new garment processing device to address the problem that the connection structure between drawers and boxes in the prior art cannot effectively withstand both horizontal and vertical forces. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, namely, to solve the problem that the connection structure between the drawer and the box in the prior art cannot effectively withstand both horizontal and vertical forces.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a garment processing device, the garment processing device comprising a first moving part, a locking part, and a retractable working part.

[0007] The locking component is provided with an inclined surface, which is an adjustable inclined surface;

[0008] The working component is provided with a protruding component, and the first moving component is disposed on the working component;

[0009] The garment processing device is configured such that, during the pushing of the working component, the first moving component drives the working component to move. When the protruding component moves to the locking component, the adjustable inclined surface is configured to adjust the inclination angle of the inclined surface from a first inclination angle to a second inclination angle. After the working component reaches the working position, the protruding component moves to the inclined surface at the second inclination angle, thereby causing the first moving component to not support or support part of the weight of the working component, and causing the protruding component to support the remaining weight of the working component.

[0010] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the protruding component is a protruding rod.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the end of the protruding rod is spherical.

[0012] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the locking component includes a locking platform and a rotating plate rotatably disposed on the locking platform.

[0013] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the locking platform is provided with a rotating hole and a long strip limiting hole, and correspondingly, the rotating plate is provided with a rotating shaft and a limiting shaft.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the locking component further includes a rotary drive component, which is disposed on the locking platform and is capable of driving the rotating plate to rotate.

[0015] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the first tilt angle is a positive angle, and the corresponding second tilt angle is a negative angle.

[0016] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing device, the clothing processing device further includes a second moving component, and the first moving component moves on the second moving component.

[0017] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the first moving component is a rear roller, and the corresponding second moving component is a slide rail.

[0018] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the clothing processing equipment further includes a front roller, which is disposed on the front side of the working part and is configured to abut against the ground.

[0019] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the clothing processing equipment further includes a housing, the working component is removably disposed within the housing, and the locking component is disposed within the housing.

[0020] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, the working component is further provided with a door panel, and the opening of the box is configured to abut against the door panel.

[0021] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, an elastic pad is also provided between the door panel and the opening of the box.

[0022] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned garment processing equipment, the operating side of the garment processing equipment is the front side, and the center of gravity of the rotating plate is closer to the front side of the working component than the rotation axis of the rotating plate.

[0023] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned clothing processing equipment, a stop protrusion is also provided on the rear side of the rotating plate.

[0024] With the above technical solution, the present invention enables the protruding part to bear the weight of the working part after the working part reaches the working position, and the rear roller and the front roller to bear part of the weight or be completely suspended. In this way, the forces generated in all directions during the operation of the entire working part are transmitted to the protruding part and the locking part, which provides good protection for the front roller and the rear roller and makes the working support of the working part more stable.

[0064] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific applications. For example, although the specification describes the first moving member as a rear roller, the present invention can obviously employ other forms of moving members, such as sliding members, which can be implemented by a slider, as long as the moving device can slide the working member in and out, and after moving into the groove, enable the supporting member to support part or all of the weight of the working member.

[0065] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, terms such as "upper," "lower," "vertical," and "horizontal," indicating directional or positional relationships, are based on the directional or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0066] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0067] Example 1:

[0068] First refer to Figure 1-15 A specific preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0069] Reference Figures 1 to 15 This invention proposes a garment processing device, which includes a first moving part, a second moving part, and a retractable working part 3. The second moving part is provided with a groove 23. In a specific embodiment of this invention, the first moving part can be a rear roller 1, and the second moving part can be a slide rail 2. In one possible implementation, the slide rail 2 can be configured as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 The slide rail 2, which has raised guide blocks 21 on both sides and a slide 22 in the middle, is shown in the diagram. Correspondingly, the groove 23 is provided on the rear side of the slide 22 to match the first moving part.

[0070] Working component 3 can be a pull-out pulsator washing machine, or it can be a pulsator washing machine that is directly slidably mounted on the slide rail 2, or it can be as follows: Figure 2 The pulsator washing machine shown is housed in a box. Figure 2 Only the box is shown, and the washing machine body itself is not shown. It is then slidably set on the track.

[0071] Continue to refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 A support component 31 is provided below the working component 3, and the rear roller 1 of the first moving component is also provided on the working component 3. The preferred embodiment is... Figure 7 The component is indirectly mounted on the working component 3 by being mounted on the support component 31.

[0072] Through the above structure, the present invention enables the garment processing equipment to achieve the following: during the pulling process of the working component 3, the rear roller 1 drives the working component 3 to move on the slide rail 2, and after the working component 3 reaches the working position, the rear roller 1 moves to the groove 23, as shown. Figure 9 or Figure 10 As shown, this causes the rear roller 1 to either not support or support only part of the weight of the working component 3, while the support component 31 supports the remaining weight of the working component 3. There are two scenarios here: if the rear roller 1 is completely suspended within the groove 23, then the support component 31 fully bears the weight of the working component 3; if the rear roller 1 has an elastic structure, such as... Figure 16 As shown, an elastic element such as a spring is provided above the rear roller 1, so that the rear roller 1 can still play a certain supporting role after it fits the bottom surface of the groove 23. At this time, the supporting component 31 plays the role of supporting the weight of the remaining working component 3.

[0073] The support position of the support component 31 in the above scheme, in the preferred embodiment, is as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 6-8 , Figure 11 As shown, the force can be transmitted to the slide rail 2 by abutting against the raised guide blocks 21 on both sides of the slide rail 2. Alternatively, it can be offset from the slide rail 2 and transmitted directly to the bottom surface of the housing 7 (this solution is not shown in the figure). Or, if the clothing processing equipment does not have a housing 7, it can be transmitted directly to the ground or the mounting platform (this solution is not shown in the figure).

[0074] Through the above structural design, the present invention enables the rear roller 1 to fall into the groove 23 after the working component 3 is pulled out to put in the clothes and pushed back to the working position. This allows the support component 31 to support most of the force, and the rear roller 1 no longer bears the eccentric force during the washing machine's vibration process. In other words, the rear roller 1 no longer bears the horizontal force, which is instead borne by the support component 31. This significantly extends the service life of the rear roller 1. Furthermore, the presence of the support component 31 during the washing process provides more stable and secure support, reducing the vibration frequency of the washing machine and lowering the overall vibration noise of the clothing handling equipment. Preferably, the support component 31 is... Figure 7 The bottom surface of the support block shown can be set to a surface with a high coefficient of friction, or the entire block can be made of a material with a high coefficient of friction, such as rubber, to further prevent the support component 31 from slipping or vibrating and displacing.

[0075] Preferably, in Embodiment 1, as Figure 6 As shown, the garment processing device of the present invention is also provided with a front roller 4. The front roller 4 is located on the front side of the working part 3 and is configured to abut against the ground to provide front-end support during the pulling process. In this way, the overall structure does not rely entirely on the slide rail and can allocate a portion of the force to the front roller 4.

[0076] In Example 1, such as Figure 8 , Figure 14 As shown, a damping device 5 is also provided on the rear side of the rear roller 1. The damping device 5 is preferably a spring, but it can also be other damping structures, such as a damping rod or an elastic block, to prevent the rear roller 1 from coming out of the groove and continuing to move backward after being pushed in, and from colliding with the box body 7.

[0077] In Example 1, such as Figure 14 As shown, a sensor 6 is also provided on the inner side of the groove 23 to detect whether the rear roller 1 has stopped in place. Preferably, the structure of the vertical extension of the rear roller 1 can not only provide some support as described above, but also prevent the rear roller 1 from being suspended in the air and at least partially abut against the sensor 6, so as to avoid the situation where the sensor 6 cannot detect it and improve the detection accuracy of the sensor 6. When the clothing processing equipment detects that the working part 3 is installed in place, it will start to execute the clothing processing steps to avoid unexpected situations.

[0078] In Example 1, such as Figure 15As shown, the working component 3 is also equipped with an insertable buckle 32. The garment processing equipment also includes a housing 7, on which a slot 71 matching the buckle 32 is provided. The buckle 32 is configured to move toward the slot 71 during the working component 3's entry into the working position, and to insert into the slot 71 after the working component 3 enters the working position. This insertable snap-fit ​​scheme is very suitable for the solution of this invention, enabling the invention to achieve locking upon pushing into the working position, and unlocking by pulling the handle. The pushing and pulling actions also coordinate with the opening and closing of the lock, allowing the user to perform the actions of opening and pulling out, and closing and pushing in with just one action.

[0079] In Example 1, such as Figure 9 As shown, the slide rail 2 can be parallel to the horizontal plane. When the working part 3 is pushed in, the rear roller 1 may be tilted due to entering the groove 23. However, this is within the allowable range of the working state of the working part 3 of the present invention and can still work normally.

[0080] Example 2:

[0081] The scheme of Embodiment 2 is generally the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that, corresponding to Embodiment 1, in order to achieve stable support for the working component 3, the working component 3 is also placed horizontally, as shown below. Figure 10 As shown, in a more preferred embodiment, the operating side of the garment processing device is the front side, and there is a height difference between the front and rear sides of the second moving part (slide rail 2). Preferably, the rear side is higher than the front side. Through the design of the height difference, the working part 3 can have an appropriate climbing action during the pushing process. After the rear roller 1 falls into the groove 23, the working part 3 can be made flat overall, making the working state of the working part 3 more stable, the service life longer, and less likely to splash washing water during the working process.

[0082] Example 3:

[0083] The solution in Example 3 can also be understood in conjunction with Example 1, and in combination with... Figures 16 to 19 Further, the difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 3, the groove 23 is replaced by a slope 24, and the slope 24 is an adjustable slope. Specifically, as... Figure 16As shown, in one possible implementation, a rotatable support plate 241 is provided on the second moving component (slide rail 2). The support plate 241 forms an angle with the horizontal plane, creating an adjustable inclined plane. Preferably, the slide rail 2 further includes an angle adjustment drive assembly 25, which is configured to drive the support plate 241 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the inclined plane 24. The angle adjustment drive assembly 25 further includes a wire drive component 251, a connecting shaft 252, and support rollers 253. The wire drive component 251 is fixedly installed, the connecting shaft 252 is connected to the wire drive component 251 and can translate under the drive of the wire drive component 251, and the support rollers 253 are located at both ends of the connecting shaft 252, respectively positioned below the two support plates 241, so that the wire drive component 251 can drive the connecting shaft 252 to translate, and thus drive the support rollers 253 to translate, achieving angle adjustment of the support plate 241. Figure 19 As shown, the angle adjustment drive assembly 25 also includes a limiting block 254, a compression rod 255, a compression block 256, and an elastic element 257. The limiting block 254 is fixedly installed. One end of the compression rod 255 passes through the limiting block 254 and is connected to the connecting shaft 252, while the other end is connected to the compression block 256. The elastic element 257 is disposed between the limiting block 254 and the compression block 256 to enable the line drive component 251 to return the connecting shaft 252 and the support roller 253 to a preset position when the line drive component 251 is not driven. The line drive component 251 can be any one of a motor, a cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. When it is a motor, it can be a linear motor or a combination of a conventional motor and a transmission component, such as a combination of a motor and a ball screw.

[0084] With the above configuration, when the working component 3 needs to enter the working position, the support plate 241 is placed in the normal position, allowing the support component 31 to smoothly abut against the raised guide block 21 and perform normal operation. After the work is completed, the control line drive component 251 is activated, thereby driving the support roller 253 to move, causing the slope angle to gradually decrease. At this time, the rear roller 1 is lifted, allowing the support component 31 to smoothly disengage from the raised guide block 21. Furthermore, the reduction in angle also reduces the force required by the user to pull out. Even when the support plate 241 tilts upward, the working component 3 can automatically slide out under the action of gravity. Those skilled in the art can adjust the final rotation angle that the support plate 241 can achieve as needed, all of which are within the protection scope of this invention. Due to the existence of the structure mentioned in this invention, the working component 3 can work stably while saving the user's pulling strength, achieving multiple benefits.

[0085] Of course, the angle adjustment drive component 25 can also be manual, such as a manual knob or a manual lever, as long as it can adjust the angle of the inclined plane 24.

[0086] Of course, the technical solution of setting an adjustable inclined plane 24 is not limited to the above-mentioned rotatable support plate 241 with support roller 253. It can also be other known solutions with adjustable inclined plane angles, such as directly setting the motor at the rotation axis of the support plate 241.

[0087] Example 4:

[0088] Example 4 has the same purpose as Examples 1 to 3, but its approach differs. Examples 1 to 3 modify the second moving component (slide rail 2). However, slide rail 2 is typically a standard part; modifying it would turn it into a custom-made part, significantly increasing production costs and hindering cost control. Therefore, based on reasonable structural improvements, the applicant proposes a new approach, namely Example 4 of this application, combining... Figures 20 to 28 The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0089] In embodiment four, the garment handling device includes a first moving component (rear roller 1), a locking component 8, and a retractable working component 3. The locking component 8 is provided with an inclined surface 824, which is an adjustable-angle inclined surface. The working component 3 is provided with a protruding component 9, and the first moving component is disposed on the working component 3. The garment handling device is configured such that, during the pushing process of the working component 3, the first moving component drives the working component 3 to move. When the protruding component 9 moves to the locking component 8, the adjustable inclined surface 824 is configured to adjust the inclination angle of the inclined surface from a first inclination angle (…). Figure 26 (state) to the second tilt angle ( Figure 24 (state), and after the working part 3 reaches the working position, the protruding part is moved to the second tilt angle ( Figure 24 On the inclined plane 824 (state), the first moving part does not support or supports the weight of part of the working part, and the protruding part 9 supports the weight of the remaining part of the working part.

[0090] In embodiment four, a locking component 8 is added. In a preferred embodiment, the locking component 8 includes a locking platform 81 and a rotating plate 82 rotatably disposed on the locking platform 81, such as... Figure 24 As shown, the locking platform 81 is provided with a rotating hole 811 and a long strip limiting hole 812. Correspondingly, the rotating plate 82 is provided with a rotating shaft 821 and a limiting shaft 822. The addition of the locking component 8 means that the second moving component does not need to be modified. In addition, a new protruding component 9, namely the protruding rod in the figure, is added. The end of the protruding rod is provided with a spherical protrusion 91. During the movement of the working component, the spherical protrusion 91 can ensure that the protruding rod and the rotating plate 82 are always in a tangent state, which facilitates sliding.

[0091] The overall working process of Example 4 can be referred to Figures 23 to 27 Expanding on this:

[0092] The unfolding process involves pulling the working part 3 out of the working position. When the working part is in the working position, such as... Figure 23 , Figure 24 As shown, at this time, both the rear roller 1 and the front roller 4 are in a suspended state. Figure 23 (Due to the small actual suspended dimension in the design, it is not shown in the figure, but is described for accuracy). Due to gravity, the working part 3 has a tendency for the protruding rod to slide downwards on the rotating plate 82. Figure 24 The angle of the rotating plate 82 is defined as a positive angle. There is a door panel 33 on the front side of the working part 3, which rests on the box 7. In order to avoid damage to both, an elastic pad (not shown in the figure) can be set between the opening of the box 7 and the door panel, thereby preventing the protruding rod from sliding down on the rotating plate 82. This also makes the working part 3 firmly stuck in the box 7. Moreover, due to the presence of the limiting hole 812 and the limiting shaft 822, the rotating plate 82 can only rotate to the set position and will not continue to rotate under the pressure of the protruding rod, thus providing support for the protruding rod and supporting the working part 3 to work normally.

[0093] When it is necessary to pull out the working part 3, the user pulls it out from the front. The protruding rod will climb up the slope of the rotating plate 82 until it passes the rotating shaft 821. At this point, under the action of gravity, the protruding rod will slide down the rotating plate 82. (Refer to...) Figure 25 , Figure 26 At this point, the rotating plate 82 is at a negative angle. Without other constraints, the protruding rod will continue to slide down until the rear roller 1 and front roller 4 contact the ground, no longer suspended in the air. This allows the rear roller 1 and front roller 4 to work together, enabling the working part 3 to be pulled out to its final position. Figure 27 The preset position is shown.

[0094] In a preferred embodiment, reference Figure 24 , Figure 28 The operating side of the garment processing equipment is the front side. The center of gravity of the rotating plate 82 is closer to the front side of the working part 3 than the rotation axis 821 of the rotating plate 82. A stop protrusion 823 is also provided on the rear side of the rotating plate 82. Figure 28The advantage of this design is that it eliminates the need for additional structures for limiting and restoring. When the protruding column is in a supported state, even if the door panel does not contact the housing, the stop protrusion 823 can prevent the protruding column from sliding further down, thus stabilizing the working component 3. When the protruding column leaves the rotating plate 82, due to gravity, the rotating plate 82 always keeps the side away from the stop protrusion facing down, i.e., at a negative angle, preparing for the next upward sliding of the protruding column. No additional restoring device, such as a spring, is needed. With this design, even without a driving component, normal locking and unlocking can still be completed, which is very convenient and saves production costs. Of course, adding a driving component to drive the rotating plate 82 to rotate should also be within the scope of protection of this invention. The above-mentioned solution of this invention only mentions a more preferred solution.

[0095] The above describes the relative movement of the locking component 8 and the protruding component 9 during the pulling-out process. The same applies during the pushing-in process, except that the above actions are reversed, so it will not be described again.

[0096] Embodiment 4 of the present invention may also include some structural features already described above, such as the slide rail 2 of the second moving part, the roller being able to move on the slide rail 2 of the second moving part, etc. Other similar structures will not be described in detail.

[0097] In summary, this invention, through the design of the support component 31 and the groove 23, allows the rear roller 1 to enter the groove 23 when it moves to the working position, with the support component 31 taking over the main support role. This directly changes the support method from the rolling friction between the rear roller 1 and the slide 22 to the overlapping support method between the support component 31 and the raised guide block 21. When removing clothes after use, a slight pull of the working component 3 allows the rear roller 1 to climb out of the groove 23 and return to rolling friction, making pushing and pulling still very effortless for the user. This seamless switching protects the rear roller 1, reduces noise generated by the working component 3 during operation, and also caters to the user, making pushing and pulling still very effortless. Through simple structural modifications, only adding the structure of the support component 31 and the groove 23, a fundamental change in the motion mode is achieved on the basis of the original solution. This allows the clothing handling equipment of this invention to greatly improve the stability of the product, that is, the service life of the rear roller 1, without increasing costs, and also improves user satisfaction, that is, lower vibration and noise during use. In addition, this invention proposes a design with a height difference between the front and rear sides of the slide rail 2, which further improves the stability of the product and reduces the probability of water leakage caused by the tilting of the working part 3. The design of the sensor 6 also ensures that the working part 3 can only perform washing, drying, and other operations after reaching the working position, thus guaranteeing the safety of the product. This invention also proposes a solution in Embodiment 4, which eliminates the need for modifications to the second moving part, making the overall structure more stable and reliable, and significantly reducing production costs.

[0098] It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely used to illustrate the principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0099] For example, in an alternative embodiment, since the first moving component only provides a way of movement, it is obviously not limited to the form of the rear roller 1. For example, it can also be a sliding device, which is configured to slide into or out of the groove 23. Preferably, the sliding device can be a slider with rounded corners on the side, such as a semi-cylindrical slider whose cylindrical surface fits against the slide rail 22 and whose plane is fixed to the bottom surface of the working component 3 to achieve a sliding connection between the first moving component and the slide rail 22. These extensions based on the main inventive concept of the present invention do not deviate from the principle of the present invention and therefore all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0100] For example, in another alternative implementation, the slide rail 2 is obviously not limited to Figure 11 The slide rail 2 shown in the image, with its two raised guide blocks 21 and a slide track 22 in the middle, can also be as follows: Figure 12 The slide rail 2 shown in the image has a raised guide block 21 on the outer side and a slide rail 22 on the inner side. A groove 23 is disposed on the inner slide rail 22. The support member 31 is configured to abut against the raised guide block 21 when the first moving member moves to the groove 23. The above solution can also be adapted to the structure of the support member 31 and the groove 23 proposed in this invention. These do not deviate from the principle of this invention and therefore all fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0101] For example, in another alternative implementation, the slide rail 2 is obviously not limited to Figure 11 The slide rail 2 shown in the image, with its two raised guide blocks 21 and a slide track 22 in the middle, can also be as follows: Figure 13 The slide rail 2 shown in the image has a raised guide block 21 on the inner side and a slide rail 22 on the outer side. A groove 23 is disposed on the outer slide rail 22. The support member 31 is configured to abut against the raised guide block 21 when the first moving member moves to the groove 23. The above solution can also be adapted to the structure of the support member 31 and the groove 23 proposed in this invention. These do not deviate from the principle of this invention and therefore all fall within the protection scope of this invention.

[0102] Finally, it should be noted that although this invention is described using a pull-out washing machine as an example, the solution of this invention can obviously also be applied to other clothing processing equipment. For example, it can also be applied to shoe washing machines, dryers, etc.

[0103] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
