[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a cabinet 1 of a clothing processing device, wherein the cabinet 1 includes a shell 10 and a base 12, wherein the shell 10 constitutes the surrounding appearance of the clothing processing device, and the shell 10 is supported on the base 12; the base 12 is installed below the shell 10, connected to the shell 10, and used to support the shell 10.

[0042] The lower end of the shell 10 contracts inward to form a plug-in portion 52, and the upper end opening 122 of the base 12 forms a lap portion 51. The plug-in portion 52 of the shell 10 is inserted into the upper end opening 122 of the base 12, and the shell 10 is supported and connected to the lap portion 51. By inserting the plug-in portion 52 and supporting and connecting it to the lap portion 51, the shell 10 can be quickly fixed to the base 12. Compared with the related art of lifting the clothing processing device, installing the base 12 on the bottom surface of the clothing processing device can shorten the time of lifting the clothing processing device, and more importantly, it can achieve rapid fixation of the shell 10 and the base 12.

[0043] The plug-in portion 52 of the present invention is an integral structure or a split structure with the housing 10. Considering the convenience of installing the housing 10 and the base 12 of the laundry processing device, preferably, the plug-in portion 52 and the housing 10 are set as an integral structure.

[0044] The plug-in portion 52 of the present invention and the lower end of the housing 10 are perpendicular to each other. This arrangement can effectively prevent the housing 10 and the base 12 from relative displacement in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the stability of the fixing of the housing 10 and the base 12.

[0045] The plug-in portion 52 of the present invention has a longitudinal length extending along the axial direction of the housing 10;

[0046] The base 12 has a longitudinal depth to accommodate the plug-in portion 52;

[0047] The longitudinal length is less than or equal to the longitudinal depth.

[0048] In order to improve the stability of the connection between the box body 1 and the base 12, the longitudinal depth of the overlap portion 51 is preferably equal to the longitudinal length of the plug portion 52. That is to say, when the base 12 needs to be installed, the housing 10 is placed on the top surface of the base 12, and the user is required to align the plug portion 52 with the overlap portion 51 set on the top surface of the base 12, and put the plug portion 52 into the overlap portion 51 formed by the upper opening 122 of the base 12, so as to realize the clamping of the housing 10 and the base 12, avoiding the problem of inconvenience caused by holding up the clothes processing device and installing the base 12 below the clothes processing device.

[0049] The plug-in portion 52 of the present invention is a vertical surface formed by the inward contraction of the lower end of the housing 10, which is inserted into the upper end opening 122 of the base 12 to clamp the box 1. The plug-in portion 52 is set as a vertical surface, which cooperates with the overlap portion 51, thereby ensuring the stability of the housing 10 and the base 12 in the horizontal direction. For the vertical direction, the stability of the housing 10 and the base 12 can be ensured by relying on the gravity of the clothing processing device itself. The plug-in portion 52 adopts this structure, which is convenient for production and relatively simple in structure.

[0050] The overlapping portion 51 of the present invention has a stepped structure, and the overlapping portions 51 located on both sides of the plug-in portion 52 have the same structure, both having a stepped structure, one end of the overlapping portion 51 contacts the lower end of the shell 10, and the other end contacts the plug-in portion 52.

[0051] The housing 1 of the clothing processing device of the present invention also includes a fixing portion 53, which is arranged on the outer surface below the shell 10, that is, the fixing portion 53 is located on the outer side surface below the shell 10, horizontally passes through the shell 10 and the plug-in portion 52, and is used to fix the shell 10 on the base 12.

[0052] The plug-in portion 52 of the present invention is provided with a first through hole that penetrates transversely;

[0053] The base 12 is provided with a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole, that is, the first through hole and the second through hole have the same diameter and are arranged side by side.

[0054] The first through hole and the second through hole are both cylindrical, and the inner circumferential walls of the first through hole and the second through hole are evenly covered with internal threads.

[0055] The fixing portion 53 is formed through the second through hole and the first through hole to fix the housing 10 on the base 12 .

[0056] When the shell 10 needs to be installed with the base 12, it is only necessary to lift the shell 10, place it on the top surface of the base 12, and snap-fit ​​it with the base 12. After the snap-fit ​​is completed, put down the shell 10, and at the same time, pass the horizontally arranged fixing part 53 through the second through-hole provided in the base 12 and the first through-hole provided in the plug-in part 52 to complete the fixation of the shell 10 and the base 12.

[0057] The fixing portion 53 of the present invention is a screw, which penetrates the second through hole and the first through hole to fix the housing 10 on the base 12 .

[0058] Preferably, the fixing part 53 is a screw, which is composed of a screw rod and a screw head connected to each other. The screw head is circular, and its diameter is larger than the diameter of the first perforation / the second perforation. The screw rod is a columnar structure, and its outer surface is covered with external threads that match the internal threads of the first perforation / the second perforation. By rotating the screw head, the screw rod is driven to rotate, and the screw rod passes through the second perforation and the first perforation to ensure that the screw rod is fastened to the second perforation and the first perforation, thereby achieving a stable connection between the shell 10 and the base 12 of the clothing processing device.

[0059] Working principle: lift up the clothing processing device and place it on the base 12, accurately insert the plug-in part 52 into the overlapping part 51 on the top surface of the base 12 to achieve the snap connection between the shell 10 and the base 12, and at the same time, pass the fixing part 53 through the second through-hole of the base 12 and the first through-hole of the plug-in part 52 respectively to achieve the fastening of the shell 10 and the base 12.

[0060] The present invention also provides a clothes processing device applied to the above-mentioned box 1.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, the clothing processing device further includes an outer barrel 2 and a shock absorbing assembly 3. The outer barrel 2 is arranged in the box body 1. The shock absorbing assembly 3 is respectively connected to the box body 1 and the outer barrel 2 for suspending the outer barrel 2 in the box body 1.

[0062] The clothes processing device further includes an inner tub rotatably disposed in the outer tub 2; a pulsator rotatably mounted in the inner tub, or may be integrally mounted with the inner tub; and a driving device mounted below the outer tub 2, driving the inner tub and the pulsator to rotate separately or together through a rotating shaft. The above structure is prior art and will not be described one by one here.

[0063] The shock absorbing assembly 3 includes a suspension shock absorbing member 31 and a support shock absorbing member 32. One end of the suspension shock absorbing member 31 is connected to the upper part of the box body 1, and the other end is suspended and connected to the upper part of the outer barrel 2; one end of the support shock absorbing member 32 is connected to the lower part of the box body 1, and the other end is supported and connected to the lower part of the outer barrel 2.

[0064] The clothing processing device of the present invention installs a suspension shock-absorbing component 31 on the upper part of the box 1 and a supporting shock-absorbing component 32 on the lower part, so that the upper part of the outer barrel 2 is suspended and the lower part is supported in the box 1. This can reduce the horizontal displacement of the outer barrel 2 during rotation, avoid collision between the outer barrel 2 and the box 1 due to vibration, improve the stability of the outer barrel 2 during rotation, and avoid collision noise.

[0065] Through the suspension rod suspension assembly, one end is suspended on the upper part of the box body 1, and the other end extends downward to the lower part of the outer barrel 2 near the bottom of the outer barrel. When there are more clothes to be washed, the overall center of gravity of the outer barrel 2 is higher, higher than the suspension position of the suspension rod suspension assembly and the outer barrel 2. During the washing and dehydration process, the upper part of the outer barrel 2 will be horizontally offset, shake violently and even hit the box body 1. Even if the bottom is supported and shock-absorbing, since the upper part of the outer barrel 2 is in a suspended state, it will still shake during operation. The present invention can reduce the shaking amplitude of the outer barrel 2 and improve the stability of the outer barrel 2 in the box body 1 through the coordinated cooperation of the suspension shock-absorbing member 31 and the support shock-absorbing member 32, so as to achieve the purpose of good shock-absorbing effect. Furthermore, since the outer barrel 2 shakes less and is more stable in the box body 1, it can be designed to make the gap between the outer barrel 2 and the box body 1 smaller, expand the size of the outer barrel 2, and relatively expand the volume of the outer barrel 2.

[0066] The suspension shock-absorbing member 31 of the present invention is a suspension spring, which improves the stability of the upper part of the outer barrel 2 by a hanging manner.

[0067] The upper part of the box 1 of the laundry processing device is provided with a box reinforcement part 11, and the box reinforcement part 11 is provided with at least one hanging hole 111 in the direction of the outer barrel 2, preferably at least two hanging holes 111 different in height direction, for installing the hook at one end of the hanging spring; and / or, a barrel reinforcement part 21 is provided on the upper peripheral wall of the outer barrel 2, and the barrel reinforcement part 21 protrudes from the outer surface of the upper peripheral wall of the outer barrel 2, and is provided with at least one hanging hole 28 for installing the hook at the other end of the hanging spring. By installing the box reinforcement part 11 and the barrel reinforcement part 21, the connection strength between the hanging spring and the box 1 and the outer barrel 2 is improved.

[0068] A connecting piece 22 is provided on the lower peripheral wall of the outer barrel 2. The connecting piece 22 can be an individual unit installed on the outer barrel 2, or a structure designed as a whole with the outer barrel 2. A through hole is provided on the connecting piece 22, and one end of the supporting shock absorber 32 passes through the through hole to achieve connection with the lower part of the outer barrel 2.

[0069] The support shock absorber 32 is arranged to be tilted relative to the axial direction of the outer tub 2, the angle between the axis of the support shock absorber 32 and the axis of the outer tub 2 is greater than 0 degrees, and the lower end of the support shock absorber 32 is located outside the upper end of the support shock absorber 32 in the radial direction of the outer tub 2, thereby not only improving the support stability of the support shock absorber 32 on the outer tub 2, but also improving the shock absorbing and buffering effect of the support shock absorber 32 on the outer tub 2. In addition, by tilting the support shock absorber 32, the greater the load, the more effective the limiting effect of the support shock absorber 32 on the vibration of the clothes processing device, so that it can adapt to supporting the washing of clothes of different weights to adjust the vibration of the clothes processing device.

[0070] The base 12 of the clothes processing device of the present invention is square, and is provided with mounting parts 121 with upper and lower hollows at the four corners, and the mounting parts 121 are provided with mounting positions for mounting the supporting shock absorbing member 32. The other end of the supporting shock absorbing member 32 is installed in the mounting position, which improves the stability of the supporting shock absorbing member 32 on the base 12 and further prevents the supporting shock absorbing member 32 from translating on the base 12.

[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes by using the technical content suggested above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. The implementation scheme in the above embodiment can also be further combined or replaced.
