Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of clothing washing and drying, and in particular to a machine cover and clothing processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In order to facilitate the operation of clothing processing equipment (for example, washing machines, dryers, etc.) in a dark environment and avoid users making incorrect operations due to insufficient light, and based on appearance requirements, the cover of the clothing processing equipment usually adopts a luminous design to better achieve the integration of atmosphere and home decoration.

[0003] The prior art hood lighting design has the following two shortcomings.

[0004] First, the light emitted from the hood is usually reflected. For example, the light generated by the light source first passes through the secondary reflection surface of the secondary decorative part, reflects to the main reflection surface of the main decorative part, and overflows from the main reflection surface. Since the light is reflected, the loss of light is increased, the purity of light is reduced, the light transmission efficiency is low, and the user experience is poor.

[0005] Second, the light source and the light guide component are generally fixed by a snap-on structure, and the mold of the snap-on structure is relatively complex, which increases the complexity and manufacturing cost of the mold manufacturing, resulting in inconvenient assembly and low installation efficiency. At the same time, the number of times the snap-on structure is disassembled is limited, and too many disassembly times will cause the snap-on structure to deform. In addition, the light source and the light guide component can be bonded with glue, but the glue has a curing time that affects the fixing efficiency, and it is difficult to disassemble the light source and the light guide component after bonding, which can easily cause damage to the bonding point between the light source and the light guide component, making it difficult to disassemble without loss. Both the snap-on structure and the glue bonding method are inconvenient for maintenance. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a cover and a clothes processing device, which can solve the problems in the prior art.

[0007] A first aspect of the present invention provides a cover for use in a clothes processing device, wherein the cover comprises a cover front plate, a cover rear plate, a cover frame and a light source.

[0008] The cover frame is arranged between the outer edge of the cover front plate and the outer edge of the cover rear plate. The light source is arranged between the cover front plate and the cover rear plate and is adjacent to the cover frame. The cover frame is formed of a light-guiding material, and the light emitted by the light source is irradiated to the outside of the cover through the cover frame.

[0009] Such a setting, by limiting the light guiding property of the cover frame and limiting the light path, clarifies the direct path of the light, and the light emitted by the light source directly irradiates the outside of the cover through the cover frame, reducing light loss, which is beneficial to improving the purity of the light, thereby improving the light transmission efficiency of the cover.

[0010] Optionally, the cover frame is a transparent or translucent material layer, and a side wall of the light source abuts against the cover frame, so that light is directly emitted from the inner wall of the cover frame to the outer wall of the cover frame.

[0011] With such an arrangement, the direct path of the light is further limited by the close contact between the light source and the side wall of the cover frame, thereby preventing the light from being dispersed when it reaches the gap.

[0012] Optionally, the bottom of the light source abuts against the rear plate of the cover, and the top of the light source and the other side wall of the light source abut against the front plate of the cover.

[0013] In this way, the light source is clamped and fixed by the front plate and the rear plate of the cover, forming a compact installation structure, making the assembly of the cover and the light source more convenient. At the same time, it avoids using additional fixing parts to fix the light source, simplifies the installation structure and saves installation costs.

[0014] Optionally, the cover frame includes a main body and a side wall, the top of the main body abuts against the outer edge of the cover front plate, and the bottom of the main body and the bottom of the side wall abut against the outer edge of the cover rear plate.

[0015] In this way, the front plate and the rear plate of the hood can clamp and fix the hood frame, thereby forming a stable fixed structure, making it easier to assemble the hood frame. At the same time, the step surface formed by the upwardly tilted end of the hood frame can limit and position the front plate of the hood.

[0016] Optionally, a hollow portion is formed at the bottom of the main body so that a portion of the bottom does not contact the rear plate of the hood.

[0017] Such an arrangement facilitates the formation of a stable structure, and a lightweight design is adopted for the cover frame, which reduces the weight and volume of the main body, reduces costs, facilitates production and manufacturing, and can improve industrial practicality.

[0018] Optionally, the hood front plate, the hood rear plate and the hood frame are all annular components, and the hollowed-out portion is formed as a partial annular shape or a full annular shape.

[0019] In this way, the ring-shaped setting is convenient for protecting the internal components of the clothing processing device, reducing the vibration and shaking that occurs when the clothing processing device is in a high-speed operation state, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the use process, while improving the coordination and visual effect of the overall appearance.

[0020] Optionally, the cover further comprises a window cover. The window cover is arranged on the top of the cover front plate and matches the top of the cover front plate. A part of the side wall is arranged opposite to the window cover and the cover front plate, and the top of the side wall is located in the same plane as the top of the side wall of the window cover.

[0021] In this way, the window cover is arranged on the outermost layer, which can protect other parts of the cover and prevent dust and shock. The side wall is arranged to be warped to facilitate the positioning of the cover front plate and the window cover, and ensure that the gap between the window cover and the cover front plate and the cover frame is reasonable.

[0022] Optionally, the side wall portion includes a first side wall portion and a second side wall portion, the outer surface of the second side wall portion and the surface of the main body portion abutting against the light source are light-transmitting surfaces, and the other outer surfaces of the cover frame are reflective surfaces.

[0023] With this arrangement, light is transmitted from two light-transmitting surfaces arranged opposite to each other at both ends of the cover frame, ensuring a direct path for the light. The second side wall portion has a certain inclination, and the light is irradiated from the second side wall portion inclined inward, which can guide the light to the body of the clothing processing device, further reducing the dispersion of light. At the same time, the second side wall portion that is not visible to the user from the front is set as the second light-transmitting surface to avoid light interfering with the user's eyes, which can improve the user's viewing experience.

[0024] A second aspect of the present invention provides a clothes processing device having a cover as described above, which can transmit light in a direct manner through two light-transmitting surfaces arranged opposite to each other.

[0025] Optionally, the clothes processing device further comprises a body, a cover is arranged on the body, and the light emitted by the light source is irradiated to the body via the cover frame.

[0026] With this arrangement, the light directly emitted from the cover frame is projected onto the fuselage, avoiding direct illumination toward the user. This can soften the light and enhance the user's comfort and experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] <Cover 200 of the Embodiment of the Present Invention>

[0044] The present invention provides a cover 200, which is applied to a clothes processing device 100, and can reduce light loss and improve light purity and user experience.

[0045] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the first structure of the clothing processing device 100 in the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A in the middle. Figure 1 FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a part of the laundry processing device as seen from the side. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the set cover 200 includes a set cover front plate 210 , a set cover rear plate 220 , a set cover frame 230 and a light source 240 .

[0046] Among them, the cover frame 230 is arranged between the cover front plate 210 and the cover rear plate 220, and the cover frame 230 is located at the outer end of the connection surface of the cover front plate 210 and the cover rear plate 220, that is, the cover front plate 210, the cover frame 230 and the cover rear plate 220 are arranged in sequence, a part of the cover frame 230 is exposed to the air, and the other part is located inside the cover 200. The light source 240 is also arranged between the cover front plate 210 and the cover rear plate 220. The light source 240 and the cover frame 230 are adjacent to each other, and the light source 240 is located inside the cover 200 as a whole, that is, the light source 240 is not visible from the outside. The cover frame 230 is formed of a light-guiding material, and the light emitted by the light source 240 is irradiated to the outside of the cover 200 through the cover frame 230.

[0047] In the above manner, the cover frame 230 is entirely set to a light-guiding material, which can limit the light path and clarify the direct path of the light. The light emitted by the light source 240 directly irradiates the outside of the cover 200 through the adjacent cover frame 230. Compared with the light emission method in which the light is reflected and then transmitted, the light path set in this embodiment can reduce the light loss, which is conducive to improving the purity of the light, thereby improving the light transmission efficiency of the cover 200.

[0048] The various components of the cover 200 in the embodiment of the present invention are further described below.

[0049] <Hood front plate 210, hood rear plate 220>

[0050] Continue to refer Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the front plate 210 of the cover and the rear plate 220 of the cover abut against each other, and the connection between the front plate 210 of the cover and the rear plate 220 of the cover matches each other. The front plate 210 of the cover and the rear plate 220 of the cover can be connected by means of buckles, glue, bolts, etc. Since the cover frame 230 and the light source 240 are arranged at the outer ends of the contact surface of the front plate 210 of the cover and the rear plate 220 of the cover, the outer ends of the front plate 210 of the cover and the rear plate 220 of the cover are not directly abutted, and there is a partial structure that is completely in contact.

[0051] The side wall 221 of the rear plate of the cover is tilted relative to the axial direction of the cover 200, so as to facilitate contact with the body 110 of the clothing processing device 100 and optimize the overall design. The front plate 210 of the cover and the rear plate 220 of the cover can be annular components. The annular design is adopted to facilitate the protection of the internal components of the clothing processing device 100 and reduce the vibration and shaking that occurs when the clothing processing device 100 is in a high-speed operation state. Since the clothes will hit the door body of the clothing processing device 100 during the washing process, causing the door body to move back and forth or shake, the circular ring design is conducive to improving the safety of the use process, while improving the coordination and visual effect of the overall appearance.

[0052] <Cover frame 230>

[0053] Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cover frame 230 in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and refer to Figure 3 Since the outer shape of the cover 200 is circular, in order to make a circle around the cover 200 present a luminous effect, in this embodiment, the light source 240 is a ring-shaped light strip, which is arranged around the outer circle of the cover 200. The cover frame 230 adjacent to the light source 240 is in the shape of a ring as a whole. The outer surface of the second side wall portion 2323 is located on the outer side of the ring, and the surface of the cover frame 230 adjacent to the light source 240 is located on the inner side of the ring. In the existing light-emitting technology of the cover, the light emitted by the light source uses air or other gases as the medium, and is emitted to the outside from the gap set in the cover after multiple reflections. Compared with the existing technology, the cover frame 230 provided in this embodiment can make the light directly use the light-guiding material of the cover frame 230 as the propagation medium, so that the light is emitted to the outside in a direct manner, enhance the path controllability of the light, reduce the loss caused by scattering, enhance the absorption and regulation of the light, and the direct light has strong anti-interference ability and high long-term stability, thereby improving the light transmission efficiency and user experience. At the same time, the cover frame 230, as a solid light guide, can prevent the water vapor and dust generated after long-term use of the clothing processing device 100 from blocking the propagation path of the light, thereby affecting the overall luminous effect of the outer ring of the cover 200. By using the cover frame 230 for light guidance, there is no need to set up an additional sealing structure, which further simplifies the structure.

[0054] Continue to refer Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the shape of the cover frame 230 matches the contact surface of the cover front plate 210 and the cover rear plate 220 to ensure the effect of compression and fixing. The cover frame 230 includes a main body 231 and a side wall 232 that are connected to each other. The main body 231 and the side wall 232 form a height difference, that is, the top of the main body 231 and the top of the side wall 232 are not located in the same plane, and a step surface is formed. The step surface includes a step tread 2311 located at the main body 231 and a step facade 2321 located at the side wall 232. The step tread 2311 is the top of the main body 231. The step facade 2321 is the side surface where the side wall 232 is connected to the top of the main body 231 and is perpendicular to each other.

[0055] The top of the main body 231 abuts against the outer end of the hood front plate 210, that is, the bottom of the outer end of the hood front plate 210 abuts against the step tread 2311 (i.e., the top of the main body 231), and the side of the outer end of the hood front plate 210 abuts against the step vertical surface 2321 (i.e., one side of the side wall 232). The bottom of the main body 231 and the bottom of the side wall 232 abut against the outer end of the hood rear plate 220.

[0056] In the above manner, the cover front plate 210 and the cover rear plate 220 can clamp and fix the cover frame 230, thereby forming a stable fixing structure, making it easier to assemble the cover frame 230. At the same time, the step surface formed by the upwardly tilted end of the cover frame 230 can limit and position the cover front plate 210.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a hollow portion 2312 may be provided at the bottom of the main body 231. The hollow portion 2312 is partially annular or entirely annular, so that a portion of the bottom is not in contact with the cover rear plate 220. This arrangement facilitates the formation of a stable structure, and the cover frame 230 is lightweight, which reduces the weight and volume of the main body 231, reduces costs and facilitates production. At the same time, during the mold forming process, if the wall thickness is too thick, there is a risk of bubbles during the forming process. The hollow portion 2312 can reduce the risk of bubbles, facilitate manufacturing and molding, and improve industrial practicality.

[0058] Combination Figure 1 , and refer to Figure 3 The side wall portion 232 includes a first side wall portion 2322 and a second side wall portion 2323 that are connected to each other. The first side wall portion 2322 and the second side wall portion 2323 are located on a side opposite to the step facade 2321. The first side wall portion 2322 is tilted outwardly along the circumference of the cover 200, and the second side wall portion 2323 is tilted inwardly along one end of the first side wall portion 2322. The second side wall portion 2323 is connected to the side wall 221 of the cover rear plate in a smooth transition manner, and the inclination of the second side wall portion 2323 is consistent with the inclination of the side wall 221 of the cover rear plate to ensure that the assembly between the cover frame 230 and the cover rear plate 220 is matched. In other words, the first side wall portion 2322 is visible from the front, and the second side wall portion 2323 is not visible from the front.

[0059] The surface of the main body 231 abutting against the light source 240 (i.e., the inner side wall of the cover frame 230) is a first light-transmitting surface, which is convenient for receiving light from the light source 240 and making it incident on the cover frame 230. The first light-transmitting surface can match the shape of the light source 240, so as to enhance the effect of being tightly fixed with the light source 240. The outer surface of the second side wall 2323 is a second light-transmitting surface, which is convenient for light to be emitted to the outside of the cover frame 230. The other outer surfaces of the cover frame 230, i.e., the outer surfaces of the first side wall 2322, the step surface (i.e., the step tread 2311 located at the top of the main body 231 and the step facade 2321 located at one side of the side wall 232), the bottom of the main body 231 and the bottom of the side wall 232 are all reflective surfaces. The reflective surfaces are evenly distributed around the two light-transmitting surfaces to form a relatively closed reflective area, which is convenient for reflecting light to gather it and irradiate it from the second light-transmitting surface.

[0060] In the above manner, light is transmitted from two light-transmitting surfaces arranged opposite to each other at both ends of the cover frame 230, ensuring a direct path for the light. The second side wall portion 2323 has a certain inclination, and the light is irradiated from the second side wall portion 2323 inclined inwardly, which can guide the light to the body 110 of the clothing processing device 100, further reducing the dispersion of light. At the same time, the second side wall portion 2323 that is not visible to the user from the front is set as the second light-transmitting surface to prevent light from interfering with the user's eyes, which can improve the user's viewing experience.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cover frame 230 can form an efficient light utilization structure through the main body 231, the hollow part 2312 and the side wall 232. The light emitted by the light source 240 enters the cover frame 230 through the first light-transmitting surface located in the main body 231. The hollow part 2312 in the middle of the main body 231 reduces the passage of the light, so that part of the light is directly transmitted from the second light-transmitting surface, and the other part of the light is reflected between the relatively closed reflective surfaces formed by the main body 231 and the side wall 232, and then transmitted from the second light-transmitting surface. In other words, the light is first gathered and then diffused, which can reduce the loss of light intensity during the light propagation process.

[0062] With such a configuration, the efficient light utilization structure makes the light from the light source 240 entering from the first light-transmitting surface evenly distributed inside the cover frame 230, thereby improving the utilization rate of light, avoiding the light from being concentrated locally, and providing a uniform light irradiation effect. At the same time, the efficient light utilization structure increases the light diffusion rate while ensuring the light transmittance of the cover frame 230, making the light softer, avoiding the generation of dazzling light spots, and improving the visual comfort of the user.

[0063] Specifically, the cover frame 230 may be a transparent or translucent material layer, such as organic glass, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), etc. In other words, the cover frame 230 as a whole acts as a light guide, transmits light through a solid medium, avoids water vapor from contacting the light guide and thus affecting the light-emitting effect, and facilitates efficient conduction and diffusion of light.

[0064] The light-transmitting surface of the cover frame 230 can be treated with anti-glare or anti-reflection film processing technology, so that when the user observes the luminous effect of the cover frame 230, on the one hand, the glare stimulation to the eyes can be reduced to protect the user's eyesight, and on the other hand, the light transmission effect can be optimized, and the visibility of the light-transmitting surface of the cover frame 230 can be enhanced, thereby further improving the appearance texture of the cover frame 230 and the user's visual comfort for the cover frame 230.

[0065] The reflective surface of the cover frame 230 can be processed by electroplating, hot stamping, spraying, etc. to form a reflective layer on the surface of the cover frame 230, and a reflective effect layer can be further formed on the outside of the reflective layer, and a high reflectivity layer can be formed on the inside of the reflective layer. The reflective effect layer can form a high-brightness or sparkling visual effect on the outside of the cover frame 230, while blocking the light, preventing the light from directly projecting to the user to prevent the light from being glaring. The high reflectivity layer is formed by laminating the inner side of the cover frame 230, so that the reflectivity of the reflective surface can reach more than 50%, thereby further reflecting a part of the light transmitted from the light source 240 from the first light-transmitting surface (i.e., the inner side wall of the cover frame 230) to enhance the reflection effect of the light, so that the light is gathered and transmitted from the second light-transmitting surface (i.e., the second side wall portion 2323), avoiding the dispersion of light, thereby improving the light guiding efficiency.

[0066] Among them, the processing techniques such as electroplating, hot stamping, spraying, etc. used to form a reflective effect surface or a high reflectivity surface refer to the prior art, and the present invention will not elaborate on this.

[0067] In some embodiments, the cover frame 230 may be in a flat plate shape, a curved surface shape, or a special-shaped structure to match different covers 200, thereby meeting the design requirements of different covers 200. The present invention does not limit the shape of the cover frame 230.

[0068] <Light Source 240>

[0069] Continue to refer Figure 2 and Figure 3 One side wall of the light source 240 is in close contact with the inner wall of the cover frame 230 which is a light-transmitting surface, so that light is directly emitted from the inner wall of the cover frame 230 to the outer wall of the cover frame 230 and is transmitted from the second side wall portion 2323 .

[0070] By means of the above, the light source 240 is closely attached to the inner wall of the cover frame 230 , so that the direct path of the light is further limited on the cover frame 230 , thereby preventing the light from being dispersed by irradiating the gap between the light source 240 and the cover frame 230 .

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the light source 240 is in close contact with the cover rear plate 220 , and the top of the light source 240 and the other side wall of the light source 240 are both in close contact with the cover front plate 210 .

[0072] In the above manner, the cover front plate 210, the cover frame 230 and the cover rear plate 220 can clamp and fix the light source 240 from different directions to form a compact installation structure, making the assembly of the cover 200 and the light source 240 more convenient and quick. At the same time, it avoids using additional fixing parts to fix the light source 240, simplifies the installation structure and saves installation costs.

[0073] Furthermore, the light source 240 may be a light strip, and the light color of the light source 240 may be adjustable to meet the needs and atmosphere requirements of different customers. In some embodiments, the light source 240 may also be an LED lamp tube or other light-emitting device, and the present invention does not limit the type of the light source 240.

[0074] <Window cover 250>

[0075] Figure 4 FIG. 2 is a second structural schematic diagram of a clothes processing device in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 , and refer to Figure 4 The cover 200 further includes a window cover 250. The bottom of the window cover 250 is in close contact with the top of the cover front plate 210 and matches the top of the cover front plate 210. The outer side wall of the window cover 250 is disposed opposite to and abuts against the step vertical surface 2321 of the side wall portion 232 of the cover frame 230, and the top of the side wall of the window cover 250 is in the same plane as the top of the side wall portion 232.

[0076] In this way, the window cover 250 is arranged at the outermost layer, which can protect other components of the cover 200, such as the cover front plate 210 and the cover rear plate 220, and the window cover 250 can play a dustproof and shock-absorbing effect. The side wall portion 232 is arranged to be warped, which is convenient for positioning the cover front plate 210 and the window cover 250, ensuring that the gap between the window cover 250 and the cover front plate 210 and the cover frame 230 is reasonable, and the overall aesthetic effect is achieved.

[0077] Specifically, the connection between the window cover 250 and the cover front plate 210 and the cover frame 230 is fixed by chemical or physical bonding, which can withstand high temperature and moisture, thereby increasing the service life of the cover 200 and ensuring the long-term stability of the cover 200. For example, it is fixed by glue, screws, buckles, etc. The present invention does not limit the fixing method between the window cover 250 and the cover front plate 210 and the cover frame 230, and any fixing method that can achieve the corresponding effect is feasible.

[0078] <Clothes processing apparatus 100>

[0079] Figure 5 is a front view of a clothes processing device in an embodiment of the present invention, that is, Figure 5 This is a view of the laundry treatment device seen from the front by a user. Figure 5 A second aspect of the present invention provides a clothes processing device 100 having a cover 200 as described above, which can transmit light in a direct manner through two oppositely arranged light-transmitting surfaces, thereby reducing light loss.

[0080] <Body 110>

[0081] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 , and refer to Figure 5 The cover 200 is disposed in the middle of the body 110 of the laundry processing device 100. The second side wall portion 2323 of the cover frame 230 is disposed opposite to the outer surface of the body 110, and the light emitted by the light source 240 can be irradiated to the outer surface of the body 110 via the inner side wall (i.e., the first light-transmitting surface) of the cover frame 230 and the second side wall portion 2323 (i.e., the second light-transmitting surface).

[0082] Through the above method, the light transmitted from the second side wall portion 2323 of the cover frame 230 can be projected onto the outer surface of the body 110 to avoid directing light to the user, further softening the light and enhancing the atmosphere, thereby improving the user's comfort and experience.

[0083] A diffuse reflection layer may be formed on the outer surface of the body 110 , and the diffuse reflection layer may be formed by treatments such as matte, sandblasting, brushing, and chemical plating, so as to evenly diffuse the light and reduce the interference of light reflection on the user's vision.

[0084] Among them, the processing techniques such as matte, sandblasting, brushing, chemical plating, etc. for forming the diffuse reflection layer refer to the prior art, and the present invention will not elaborate on them.

[0085] Correspondingly, the rear panel 220 of the cover has a certain height relative to the body 110 of the clothing processing device 100, so that the light transmitted through the second light-transmitting surface is projected onto the body 110 in a manner gradually approaching the body 110 of the clothing processing device 100, thereby avoiding blurred aperture caused by the projection distance being too close, and the appropriate projection distance can further soften the light and enhance the atmosphere and user experience.

[0086] The installation process and working process of the cover 200 in the embodiment of the present invention are described below.

[0087] The cover frame 230 is placed at the outer end of the top of the cover rear plate 220, and the light source 240 is placed on the top of the cover rear plate 220 in a manner that it is tightly attached to the inner wall of the cover frame 230, and then the cover front plate 210 and the cover rear plate 220 are abutted against each other, thereby clamping the cover frame 230 and the light source 240.

[0088] The light source 240 irradiates light, and the light is directly emitted to the second side wall portion 2323 (second light-transmitting surface) of the cover frame 230 through the inner side wall (ie, the first light-transmitting surface) of the cover frame 230 to the outside of the cover 200 , forming a direct light path.

[0089] The cover 200 is disposed in the middle of the body 110 of the laundry processing device 100. The light emitted by the light source 240 through the second side wall portion 2323 can be projected onto the outer surface of the body 110 in a manner of gradually approaching the body 110 of the laundry processing device 100, avoiding direct illumination to the user, further softening the light, and improving the atmosphere and user experience.

[0090] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
