DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other, and the detailed descriptions in the specific implementation methods should be understood as explanations of the purpose of the present application and should not be regarded as improper limitations on the present application.

[0036] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the orientation or position relationship of "front", "back", "first direction", "second direction", and "upward and downward direction" is based on Figure 1 and Figure 2 The orientation or position relationship shown. It should be understood that these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application. The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present application provides a clothing processing device, which includes a box assembly 1, a container 2 and a guide assembly 1000.

[0038] The container 2 is used to contain liquid and / or reagents such as clothing treatment agents.

[0039] Clothes treatment agents include, but are not limited to, detergents, softeners and / or aromatherapy agents, etc. Detergents are used to clean clothes. Softeners are used to reduce static electricity and / or soften clothes. Aromatherapy agents are used to add fragrance to clothes.

[0040] The detergent may be in the form of liquid or powder, for example, the detergent may be laundry liquid or laundry powder.

[0041] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The box assembly 1 is formed with an installation opening 1a and a receiving groove 1b, wherein the receiving groove 1b is located at the back side of the installation opening 1a along the first direction and communicates with the installation opening 1a. The container 2 has a shielding state that shields the installation opening 1a, and the container 2 moves toward the back side so that at least part of the container 2 enters the receiving groove 1b. The process of the container 2 moving toward the back side includes a lifting stage, during which the guide assembly 1000 causes the container 2 to move upward. Specifically, the container 2 is in the shielding state, and the container 2 and the box assembly 1 remain relatively stationary.

[0042] In the related art, during the total stroke of the containing part moving toward the back side relative to the box assembly, the containing part always moves along a straight line parallel to the horizontal plane, that is, during the total stroke, the size of the gap between the containing part and the lower wall surface of the mounting port always remains unchanged. Under this condition, if the gap between the containing part and the lower wall surface of the mounting port is too small, the movement of the containing part is easily interfered with, and when the user presses the containing part to make the containing part move toward the back side, it is easy to produce a blocking feeling such as jamming, and it may even cause the problem of being unable to press and push the containing part; if the gap between the containing part and the lower wall surface of the mounting port is too large, the user can easily visually see the gap between the containing part and the lower wall surface of the mounting port, and even see the structural parts on the lower wall surface of the mounting port, such as holes or protrusions, etc., resulting in a poor visual effect. Exemplarily, in the related art, the gap between the container and the lower wall of the mounting port is not less than 1.0 mm. In this case, the container can slide smoothly, and pressing the container will not produce a blocking feeling. However, the user can also easily visually observe the gap and the structural parts of the lower wall of the mounting port, such as holes or protrusions.

[0043] Exemplarily, in the present application, since the container 2 can be lifted upward as a whole during the process of moving toward the back side to increase the gap between the container 2 and the lower wall surface of the installation port 1a, when the container 2 is in the shielding state, the gap between the container 2 and the lower wall surface of the installation port 1a can be smaller. For example, when the container 2 is in the shielding state, the gap between the container 2 and the lower wall surface of the installation port 1a can be less than 1.0 mm, the container 2 is pressed so that the container 2 moves toward the back side to the lifting stage, and the container 2 moves upward, and the container 2 is lifted upward so that the gap between the container 2 and the lower wall surface of the installation port 1a can be not less than 1.0 mm.

[0044] The clothing processing device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be in a shielding state covering the mounting opening 1a when the user does not need to use the container 2, so that the portion of the container 2 located on the back side of the mounting opening 1a is stored in the storage groove 1b and will not be exposed; when the user needs to use the container 2, the user can press the container 2 or other power source to drive the container to move toward the back side, and the container 2 moves toward the back side to the lifting stage, and the container 2 moves upward as a whole. In this way, the container 2 is lifted upward as a whole to increase the gap between the container 2 and the lower wall of the mounting opening 1a. Since the container 2 can be lifted upward as a whole during the movement toward the back side to increase the gap between the container 2 and the lower wall of the installation opening 1a, when the container 2 is in the shielding state, the gap between the container 2 and the lower wall of the installation opening 1a can be smaller. With this design, the gap between the container 2 and the lower wall of the installation opening 1a can be relatively reduced, thereby improving the appearance of the clothing processing device, and the container 2 can also slide smoothly without interfering with the movement of the container 2.

[0045] In one embodiment, the container 2 may be pressed to drive the container 2 toward the back side. For example, the user may press the container 2 with his hand to provide a pressing force for the container 2 to move toward the back side. Other driving sources such as a motor may also be used to drive the container 2 toward the back side.

[0046] It should be noted that the front side is the direction opposite to the back side, the down refers to the direction toward the ground, the up is the direction opposite to the down, and the first direction and the up and down directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0047] In one embodiment, during the lifting stage, the container 2 may move upward at an angle. Moving upward at an angle means moving upward while moving toward the back side. During the lifting stage, the container 2 moves upward while moving toward the back side, thereby achieving the container 2 moving upward at an angle.

[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 3The surface of the positive side of the container 2 along the first direction is the appearance surface 2a, and the container 2 has a lower surface connected to the appearance surface 2a. When the container 2 is in the shielding state, the appearance surface 2a is in a shielding position shielding the installation opening 1a. The box assembly 1 provides an installation position for the container 2, and the portion of the container 2 away from the appearance surface 2a passes through the installation opening 1a and extends into the storage groove 1b.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the appearance surface 2a is in the shielding position, the gap between the lower surface of the container 2 and the lower wall of the installation port 1a can be smaller, for example, when the appearance surface 2a is in the shielding position, the gap between the lower surface of the container 2 and the lower wall of the installation port 1a can be less than 1.0 mm; the appearance surface 2a moves toward the back side of the first direction to leave the shielding position, and in the lifting stage, the container 2 moves upward, so that the distance between the lower surface of the container 2 and the lower wall of the installation port 1a increases, for example, the container 2 is lifted upward so that the gap between the lower surface of the container 2 and the lower wall of the installation port 1a can be not less than 1.0 mm.

[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 , the guide assembly 1000 includes a guide channel 100 and a guide rail 200. One of the box assembly 1 and the container 2 is formed with the guide channel 100, and the other of the box assembly 1 and the container 2 is formed with the guide rail 200. The guide rail 200 is slidably arranged in the guide channel 100 along the first direction. In the lifting stage, the guide rail 200 contacts the guide channel 100 to make the container 2 move upward. That is to say, in some embodiments, the box assembly 1 is formed with the guide channel 100, and the container 2 is formed with the guide rail 200; in other embodiments, the container 2 is formed with the guide channel 100, and the box assembly 1 is formed with the guide rail 200. In this embodiment, the guide rail 200 contacts the guide channel 100 to form an upward component force, which drives the dispensing member to lift upward.

[0051] The container 2 can be driven to move toward the back side by pressing the container 2. The purpose of pressing the container 2 is not limited. For example, pressing the container 2 can lock or unlock the container 2 and the box assembly 1. In this way, the container 2 is locked or unlocked by pressing, so that the container 2 can extend out of the installation port 1a or retract into the storage slot 1b, which is simple and convenient to operate. Compared with the pulling method to extract the container 2 from the installation port 1a, the pressing method is easier, more convenient and more comfortable. When the container 2 is in the unlocked state, the container 2 can move relative to the box assembly 1, for example, the container 2 extends out of the installation port 1a for injecting reagents. When the container 2 is in the locked state, the container 2 remains in the shielded state, and the appearance surface 2a is in the shielded position.

[0052] In some embodiments, the container 2 can be locked to the box assembly 1 by a lock, and the lock can be locked or unlocked by pressing the container 2. The lock can be an existing lock.

[0053] In one embodiment, the clothes processing device comprises a clothes processing chamber located in the box assembly 1. The clothes processing chamber is used to place and process clothes, and the reagent in the container 2 can be put into the clothes processing chamber to process clothes.

[0054] The specific type of clothing processing equipment is not limited. For example, clothing processing equipment includes but is not limited to a dryer, a washing machine, or a washer-dryer, etc. A dryer is a clothing processing equipment with a drying function. A washing machine is a clothing processing equipment with a washing function. A washer-dryer is a clothing processing equipment with both drying and washing functions.

[0055] In some embodiments, the laundry processing chamber can rotate. In this way, during the rotation of the laundry processing chamber, the laundry processing chamber drives the laundry to move, thereby improving the laundry processing efficiency.

[0056] Exemplarily, the clothes processing device includes a clothes drum, which is rotatably disposed in the box assembly 1, and has a clothes processing chamber. During the rotation of the clothes drum, the clothes are driven to move from the bottom to the top; under the action of gravity, the clothes fall from the top to the bottom, so that the clothes are scattered, thrown and changed in posture under the combined action of the clothes drum and gravity.

[0057] In some embodiments, the clothes holding drum is substantially cylindrical.

[0058] In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the clothes drum may be in a horizontal direction. That is, the clothes treating apparatus may be a drum type clothes treating apparatus.

[0059] The rotation axis of the clothes drum can be along an inclined direction. It can be understood that the inclined direction is a direction in which the rotation axis of the clothes drum is located between the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

[0060] In one embodiment, the clothes holding drum may be a single-drum structure, that is, the clothes processing device has only one drum body, the clothes holding drum.

[0061] In another embodiment, the clothes processing device includes an outer barrel, which is sleeved outside the clothes holding drum. That is, the clothes processing device has two barrels, the clothes holding drum and the outer barrel. The outer barrel can remain stationary, so that other parts can be easily arranged on the outer barrel.

[0062] For example, the clothes drum may have a flow port, and there is a space between the clothes drum and the outer barrel, and the flow port connects the clothes processing cavity and the space. For example, if the clothes processing device has a washing function, the outer barrel can be used to hold water, and the liquid can flow between the clothes processing cavity and the space through the flow port. For example, if the clothes processing device has a drying function, the gas can flow between the clothes processing cavity and the space through the flow port.

[0063] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The container 2 includes a decorative panel 21 and a container box 22. The container box 22 is connected to the back side of the decorative panel 21. The decorative panel 21 is used to cover the installation opening 1a. The container box 22 is slidably arranged at the installation opening 1a along a first direction. The container 2 moves toward the back side so that at least part of the container box 22 enters the storage groove 1b. The container box 22 is used to contain liquid and / or clothing treatment agents and other reagents. The decorative panel 21 is used to cover the installation opening 1a, and the container 2 can be driven to move toward the back side by pressing the decorative panel 21.

[0064] For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 6 The decorative panel 21 is formed with a guide channel 100 or a guide rail 200. The guide channel 100 or the guide rail 200 is arranged on the decorative panel 21, so that the structure of the container box 22 can be simplified.

[0065] For example, in one embodiment, taking the plane perpendicular to the first direction as the projection surface, the projection area of ​​the installation opening 1a is larger than the projection area of ​​the storage groove 1b, and the projection area of ​​the decorative panel 21 is larger than the projection area of ​​the container box 22. In this way, when the decorative panel 21 is pressed to drive the container 2 to move, the decorative panel 21 will not enter the storage groove 1b.

[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig.10 The box assembly 1 includes a box body 11 and a lower support box 12. The box body 11 is formed with a mounting opening 1a. The lower support box 12 is arranged in the box body 11 and is formed with a storage groove 1b. Exemplarily, the container box 22 can be locked to the lower support box 12 by a lock, and the decorative panel 21 is pressed to unlock the lock or lock the lock. The lower support box 12 is hidden in the box body 11. When the container 2 is in a shielded state, the appearance surface 2a is in a shielded position, and the container box 22 is hidden in the lower support box 12. In this way, the box body 11 is used to protect the lower support box 12 and the container box 22. The lower support box 12 is convenient for setting other components on the clothing processing device for use with the container 2, for example, a delivery tube for delivering reagents in the container 2 into the clothing processing cavity, etc.

[0067] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig.10 One of the box body 11 and the decorative panel 21 forms a guide channel 100 , and the other of the box body 11 and the decorative panel 21 forms a guide rail 200 .

[0068] In one embodiment, the box body 11 may be a hexahedral structure, such as a cube or a cuboid, etc. The clothes holding drum is located in the box body 11, and the box body 11 is an appearance part of the clothes processing device.

[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The installation opening 1a is formed on the front side of the box body 11. That is, the appearance surface 2a faces forward, so that the user can manually press the container 2 from the front side, such as pressing the decorative panel 21, which is convenient for the user to operate.

[0070] It should be noted that the front refers to the direction toward the user, and the rear refers to the direction opposite to the front; the front-to-back direction and the up-down direction are perpendicular to each other. It can be understood that when the installation opening 1a is formed on the front side of the box body 11, the front is the same direction as the front, the rear is the same direction as the back, and the first direction is consistent with the front-to-back direction.

[0071] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the installation opening 1a is located at the upper part of the box body 11. In this way, the height of the installation opening 1a from the ground is moderate, which is convenient for the user to raise his hand to press the containing part 2, such as pressing the decorative panel 21, and the user experience is good.

[0072] It should be noted that the box body 11 has a horizontal median extending in the horizontal direction and bisecting the box body 11 in the vertical direction. The upper part of the box body 11 refers to a part located above the horizontal median.

[0073] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 The box body 11 includes a front sealing door 111 and a control panel 112. The front sealing door 111 is formed with a clothing introduction port 111a. The control panel 112 is arranged on the top of the front sealing door 111. The control panel 112 and the front sealing door 111 jointly define a mounting port 1a. The control panel 112 is formed with a connecting port 112a. The connecting port 112a connects the mounting port 1a and the storage slot 1b. The clothing introduction port 111a is used for taking and placing clothing. For example, a user can put clothing into the clothing processing chamber or take clothing out of the clothing processing chamber through the clothing introduction port from the front side. The installation port 1a faces the front side and the height of the installation port 1a is higher than the clothing introduction port, which is convenient for the user to inject reagents into the container 2.

[0074] For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 6 to 9The front of the control panel 112 is partially sunken or missing to form a sunken area. The space defined by the sunken area and the top surface of the front sealing door 111 is the installation opening 1a. The top surface of the front sealing door 111 is the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a. With such a design, when the container 2 is in the shielding state and the appearance surface 2a is in the shielding position, the appearance surface 2a can be flush with the front of the control panel 112, so as to prevent the appearance surface 2a from protruding from the front of the control panel 112 along the first direction.

[0075] For example, in one embodiment, the control panel 112 is used to set a control device of the laundry processing device. The control device can be used to control the operation of the laundry processing device, such as starting, stopping or selecting a laundry processing mode.

[0076] See also Figures 6 to 9 The installation opening 1a can be located at the left or right part of the control board 112. In this way, the installation opening 1a and the control device are arranged on the control board 112 at intervals along the left-right direction.

[0077] It should be noted that left refers to the side where the left hand of the user is located when the user is located at the front side of the box 11, and right is the direction opposite to left; the front-to-back direction, the left-to-right direction, and the up-down direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0078] It is understandable that the installation opening 1a may also be formed on the left side or right side of the box body 11. When the installation opening 1a is formed on the left side or right side of the box body 11, the first direction is consistent with the left-right direction.

[0079] In one embodiment, the clothes processing device includes a door body, and the door body is used to selectively open or close the clothes taking and placing opening.

[0080] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 9 The clothes treatment device comprises a shielding member 3 disposed on the box assembly 1, and at least a part of the shielding member 3 is disposed on the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a; in the lifting stage, the container 2 moves upward to avoid the shielding member 3. For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 9 When the exterior surface 2a is in the shielding position, the shielding member 3 is located on the back side of the exterior surface 2a along the first direction. The shielding member 3 can shield the gap between the container 2 and the lower wall of the installation opening 1a, preventing the user from seeing the structural parts of the lower wall of the installation opening 1a, such as holes (see Figure 8 ) or bulge, etc.

[0081] Exemplarily, in one embodiment, the total sliding stroke of the container 2 under the action of the pressing force is 4 mm to 5 mm, and the distance between the front wall surface of the installation opening 1a and the appearance surface 2a is not less than the total sliding stroke of the container 2, for example, the distance between the front wall surface of the installation opening 1a and the appearance surface 2a is not less than 5 mm. Pressing the container 2 causes the container 2 to move toward the back side, and the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a is gradually exposed. Since at least a part of the shielding member 3 is disposed on the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a, the shielding member 3 can shield the structural parts of the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a, such as the positioning hole 111b on the top surface of the front sealing door 111 for positioning and assembling with the control panel 112 (see Figure 8 ) and / or positioning protrusions, etc. In the present application, when the containing member 2 moves to the lifting stage, the containing member 2 moves upward, so the containing member 2 can avoid the shielding member 3.

[0082] The specific shape of the shielding member 3 is not limited. For example, in one embodiment, the shielding member 3 includes a connecting plate and a shielding plate. The connecting plate is connected to the wall surface of the installation opening 1a facing the front side, such as the front wall surface. The shielding plate is arranged on the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a and extends from the connecting plate toward the front side. In other words, the shielding member 3 is generally L-shaped.

[0083] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , the appearance surface 2a is a smooth surface. That is to say, the appearance surface 2a does not have a hand-gripping groove for the user to hold. In this way, it is convenient for the user to press the appearance surface 2a with his hand, and the problem of dirt and grime caused by the hand-gripping groove is avoided.

[0084] For example, in some embodiments, the exterior surface 2a is flush with the outer surface of the box body 11. In this way, the aesthetic feeling is further improved.

[0085] In one embodiment, the process of the decoration member 2 moving toward the back side includes a pre-movement stage, and the decoration member 2 first passes through the pre-movement stage and then passes through the lifting stage; in the pre-movement stage, the guide assembly 1000 allows the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel to move with the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a maintaining the first spacing L1; in the lifting stage, the minimum spacing between the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel and the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a is not less than the first spacing L1. Specifically, the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel is the surface below the decorative panel 21 connected to the appearance surface 2a.

[0086] In this embodiment, the container 2 moves toward the back side, and the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel first maintains the first distance L1 and moves in the first stroke, and then moves in a second stroke upward. In this way, within the first stroke range, the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel and the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a always maintain a relatively small first distance L1, further reducing the risk of exposure of structural parts such as holes or protrusions on the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a.

[0087] For example, in some embodiments, the distance between the front of the box 11 and the shielding member 3 is not less than the first stroke. In this way, when the container 2 moves toward the back side to where the shielding member 3 is located, the container 2 moves upward as a whole to avoid the shielding member 3, and the shielding member 3 and the container 2 do not interfere with each other.

[0088] In one embodiment, the process of the container 2 moving toward the back side includes an ending stage, and the container 2 first passes through a lifting stage and then passes through an ending stage; in the ending stage, the guide assembly 1000 allows the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel and the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a to maintain a second spacing L2, wherein the second spacing L2 is greater than the first spacing L1.

[0089] In this embodiment, the container 2 moves toward the back side, and the container 2 sequentially passes through the pre-movement stage, the lifting stage, and the end stage, that is, the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel first maintains the first spacing L1 to move in the first stroke, then tilts upward to move in the second stroke, and finally maintains the second spacing L2 to move in the third stroke. In this way, within the third stroke range, the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel and the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a always maintain a relatively large second spacing L2, ensuring that the gap between the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel and the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a is large, thereby improving the sliding reliability of the container 2.

[0090] For example, in some embodiments, the maximum distance between the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel and the lower wall of the installation opening 1a in the lifting stage is not greater than the second distance L2. In this way, the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel can smoothly transition from the lifting stage to the end stage.

[0091] Exemplarily, in one embodiment, the first spacing L1 is 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm. Exemplarily, the first spacing L1 is 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm or 0.6 mm, etc. In this way, when the appearance surface 2a is in the shielding position, the gap between the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel and the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a is equal to the first spacing L1, the first spacing L1 is relatively small, and the appearance effect is good.

[0092] Exemplarily, in one embodiment, the second spacing L2 is not less than 1 mm. Exemplarily, the first spacing L1 is 1 mm, 1.05 mm or 1.3 mm, etc. The container 2 can slide smoothly when moving toward the back side, and the feel of pressing the container 2 is smooth.

[0093] In some embodiments, the thickness of the portion of the shielding member 3 located on the lower wall of the installation opening 1a along the vertical direction is not greater than the maximum distance between the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel and the lower wall of the installation opening 1a during the lifting stage. Preferably, the thickness of the portion of the shielding member 3 located on the lower wall of the installation opening 1a along the vertical direction is not greater than the second distance L2. In this way, the shielding member 3 is prevented from interfering with the movement of the exterior surface 2a.

[0094] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The guide rail 200 is formed with a guide surface 200a in the circumference thereof, and the guide surface 200a includes a lifting portion 201a. In the lifting stage, the lifting portion 201a contacts the guide channel 100 to make the container 2 move upward. Specifically, when the container 2 enters the lifting stage, the surface of the guide channel 100 abuts against the lifting portion 201a and slides relatively, and the container 2 is guided to move upward by the lifting portion 201a. In this way, the guide surface 200a is used to guide the movement of the container 2, and the cooperation between the guide rail 200 and the guide channel 100 is simple.

[0095] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The guide surface 200a includes a first parallel portion 202a parallel to the horizontal plane, the first parallel portion 202a is connected to the back side of the lifting portion 201a along the first direction, and the first parallel portion 202a contacts the guide channel 100, so that the container 2 and the lower wall surface of the installation port 1a maintain a first spacing L1 when moving. Specifically, when the container 2 enters the pre-movement stage, the first parallel portion 202a contacts the guide channel 100, and the surface of the guide channel 100 abuts against and slides relatively with the first parallel portion 202a, and the container 2 is guided by the first parallel portion 202a to move along a straight line parallel to the horizontal plane. During the entire process of the container 2 moving toward the back side, the guide channel 100 first contacts the first parallel portion 202a and then contacts the lifting portion 201a. The surface of the guide channel 100 abuts against and slides relative to the first parallel portion 202a, and the container 2 is guided by the first parallel portion 202a to move along a straight line parallel to the horizontal plane. In this way, in the pre-movement stage, the lower surface of the container 2, i.e., the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel, and the lower wall surface of the installation opening 1a maintain a first spacing L1 between them.

[0096] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the guide surface 200a includes a second parallel portion 203a parallel to the horizontal plane, the second parallel portion 203a is connected to the positive side of the lifting portion 201a along the first direction, and the second parallel portion 203a contacts the guide channel 100, so that the second spacing L2 is maintained between the container 2 and the lower wall surface of the installation port 1a. Specifically, when the container 2 enters the end stage, the second parallel portion 203a contacts the guide channel 100. During the entire process of the container 2 moving toward the back side, the guide channel 100 sequentially contacts the first parallel portion 202a, the lifting portion 201a, and the second parallel portion 203a, and the surface of the guide channel 100 abuts against and slides relatively with the second parallel portion 203a, and the container 2 is guided by the second parallel portion 203a to move along a straight line parallel to the horizontal plane. In this way, in the end stage, the lower surface of the container 2, that is, the lower surface 21a of the decorative panel, and the lower wall surface of the installation port 1a maintain the second spacing L2.

[0097] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the container 2 is formed with a guide rail 200, and the guide surface 200a is located below the guide rail 200. Exemplarily, the lifting portion 201a gradually tilts upward from the front side to the back side. That is, the end of the lifting portion 201a close to the back side along the first direction is higher than the end away from the back side along the first direction. In this way, in the lifting stage, the lifting portion 201a contacts the lower part of the guide channel 100 and moves toward the back side. The lower part of the guide channel 100 first contacts one end of the back side of the lifting portion 201a, and then moves along the lifting portion 201a to the end of the front side of the lifting portion 201a. In this process, the lower part of the guide channel 100 generates an upward component force on the container 2, so that the container 2 moves upward while moving.

[0098] For example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the container 2 is formed with a guide rail 200, the guide surface 200a is located below the guide rail 200, the height of the first parallel portion 202a is higher than the height of the second parallel portion 203a, one end of the back side of the lifting portion 201a is connected to the first parallel portion 202a, the lifting portion 201a gradually tilts upward from the front side to the back side, and one end of the front side of the lifting portion 201a is connected to the second parallel portion 203a. In this way, the height of the first parallel portion 202a is not lower than the maximum height of the lifting portion 201a, and the height of the second parallel portion 203a is not higher than the minimum height of the lifting portion 201a. During the entire process of the container 2 moving toward the back side, it first moves while maintaining the first spacing L1, then moves upward while tilting, and finally moves while maintaining the second spacing L2.

[0099] In one embodiment, the guide rail 200 includes a column and a guide rib, the column extends along a first direction, the guide rib is arranged in the circumference of the column, the guide rib forms a guide surface 200a, and the guide channel 100 is a hole-shaped structure extending along the first direction. In this way, the guide rail 200 is slidably inserted into the guide channel 100 along the first direction, and the guide rail 200 and the guide channel 100 have a simple structure and are easy to manufacture.

[0100] For example, in one embodiment, the column can be a hollow cylindrical structure or a solid cylindrical structure. The guide channel 100 is a circular hole structure.

[0101] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Fig. 9 The number of guide rails 200 and guide channels 100 are both multiple, and the guide rails 200 and guide channels 100 are arranged one by one. The sliding cooperation between the multiple guide rails 200 and the guide channels 100 improves the movement stability between the container 2 and the box assembly 1.

[0102] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Fig. 9 There are two guide rails 200 and two guide channels 100, the two guide rails 200 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, the two guide channels 100 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the up, down, left, and right directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0103] It should be noted that, when the first direction is consistent with the front-rear direction, the second direction is consistent with the left-right direction. When the first direction is consistent with the left-right direction, the second direction is consistent with the front-rear direction.

[0104] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Fig. 9 Two guide rails 200 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction on the back side of the decorative panel 21 , and two guide channels 100 are formed on the control board 112 .
