[0076] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where like or similar reference numerals designate like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0077] Reference will be made below Figures 1 - 20 to describe a laundry treating apparatus 6000 according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0078] As Figures 20 - 24 shown, a laundry treating apparatus 6000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a cabinet assembly 1000 and a door 3000. The cabinet assembly 1000 has an opening 110, and the door 3000 is rotatably provided outside the cabinet assembly 1000 through a hinge assembly 2000 to open and close the opening 110.

[0079] The laundry treating apparatus 6000 further includes an automatic door opening assembly for opening the door 3000 by a preset angle after the laundry treating program of the laundry treating apparatus 6000 ends, where the preset angle is less than or equal to the maximum opening angle. The hinge assembly 2000 includes a hinge base 210 and a hinge blade 220. The hinge blade 220 is rotatably provided on the hinge base 210 through a rotating shaft 250 and is connected to the door 3000, and the hinge base 210 is provided inside the cabinet assembly 1000.

[0080] For the laundry treating apparatus 6000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, by providing the automatic door opening assembly, on the one hand, after the laundry treating program of the laundry treating apparatus 6000 is completed, the door 3000 can be automatically opened without the user manually opening the door. On the other hand, it can remind the user to take out the laundry in time. And even if the user does not take out the laundry in time, since the door 3000 has opened the opening 110, natural wind can be introduced into the laundry treating cavity to prevent the laundry from generating an odor due to being not taken out for a long time. By providing the hinge base 210 inside the cabinet assembly 1000, the hinge base 210 will not be seen after the door 3000 is opened, which is beneficial to improving the visual experience of the laundry treating apparatus 6000.

[0081] As Figure 23 and Figure 24 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the automatic door opening assembly includes a door lock 310 and a door hook 320. One of the door lock 310 and the door hook 320 is provided on the cabinet assembly 1000 and the other is provided on the door 3000, and the door lock 310 switches between a state of locking the door hook 320 and a state of unlocking the door hook 320.

[0082] The automatic door opening assembly further includes a pushing component 330, which is provided on one of the cabinet assembly 1000 and the door body 3000 and is used to push open the door body 3000 when the door lock 310 unlocks the door hook 320.

[0083] Specifically, Figure 20 Fig. shows a schematic structural diagram of the laundry treatment device 6000 when the door body 3000 is in the closed state. Figure 21 Fig. shows a schematic structural diagram of the laundry treatment device 6000 when the door body 3000 is in the state of being opened by a preset angle. Figure 22 Fig. shows a schematic structural diagram of the laundry treatment device 6000 when the door body 3000 is in the state of the maximum door opening angle.

[0084] Among them, as Figure 24 shown, in this embodiment, a pushing component 330 is provided on the side of the door body 3000 facing the cabinet assembly 1000. The pushing component 330 is used to push open the door body 3000 after the laundry treatment program of the laundry treatment device 6000 ends and when the door lock 310 is disengaged from the door hook 320.

[0085] Specifically, the pushing component 330 includes a reset member 332 and a push rod 331. The push rod 331 is movable along the thickness direction of the door body 3000. The reset member 332 is connected to the door body 3000 and the push rod 331 and is used to drive the push rod 331 to move towards the position extending out of the door body 3000.

[0086] As Figure 20 shown, when the door body 3000 of the laundry treatment device 6000 is in the closed state, the pushing component 330 is compressed and stores energy, and the door hook 320 on the door body 3000 is locked by the door lock 310 on the cabinet assembly 1000.

[0087] As Figure 21 shown, when the laundry treatment program of the laundry treatment device 6000 ends, an opening execution command is executed, the door lock 310 is unlocked, the door hook 320 is released, and the pushing component 330 releases elastic force to push open the door body 3000. When the door body 3000 drives the hinge blade 220 to rotate a certain angle from the first position, the elastic blocking portion can offset the elastic opening force or the inertial force generated due to the door body 3000 being pushed open, so that the door body 3000 stops in the set state. At this time, the hinge blade 220 is in the preset position.

[0088] Since Figure 21 the door body 3000 in Fig. is opened by a certain angle, it is convenient for the user to grasp the door body 3000, so that the user can manually open the door. During the process of the user opening the door body 3000, the elastic blocking portion 260 can be deformed or move, so that the user can smoothly open the door body 3000 to the preset angle or even fully open. When the door body 3000 is inFigure 12 When in the state of the maximum opening angle in Figure 12 , the hinge blade 220 is in the second position.

[0089] As Figure 22 shown, in some embodiments, the laundry treatment device 6000 further includes: a laundry treatment cylinder assembly 5000 disposed in the cabinet assembly 1000 and defining a laundry treatment chamber, the laundry treatment chamber having a laundry loading / unloading opening 510 disposed opposite to the through opening 110, and closing the laundry loading / unloading opening 510 when the door body 3000 is in the state of closing the through opening 110.

[0090] Next, reference is made to Figures 1 - 19 describe the hinge assembly 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0091] As Figures 1 - 7 shown, the hinge assembly 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a hinge base 210 and a hinge blade 220. The hinge base 210 has an opening 214, and a rotating shaft 250 is disposed at the opening 214. The hinge blade 220 is rotatably disposed on the hinge base 210 through the rotating shaft 250.

[0092] Moreover, at least a part of the hinge blade 220 penetrates through the opening 214. With such a setting, when the hinge assembly 2000 is installed in the device, not only can at least part of the hinge assembly 2000 be hidden, but also the door body 3000 can be embedded.

[0093] For example, the hinge blade 220 can be rotatable between a first position and a second position to ensure that the included angle between the hinge blade 220 and the hinge base 210 can change.

[0094] Wherein, one of the hinge base 210 and the hinge blade 220 is provided with an elastic blocking portion 260 for blocking the other of the hinge base 210 and the hinge blade 220, so that the hinge blade 220 stays at a preset position between the first position and the second position, or the hinge blade 220 can stay at the second position.

[0095] When the hinge assembly 2000 is installed in the device, the first position corresponds to the closed position of the door body 3000, and the second position corresponds to the maximum opening angle position of the door body 3000. Therefore, the elastic blocking portion 260 can make the door body 3000 stay at a position less than the maximum opening angle, or the elastic blocking portion 260 can make the door body 3000 stay at the maximum opening angle position.

[0096] For example, the elastic blocking portion 260 may be provided on the hinge seat 210. When the hinge blade 220 rotates from the first position to a position where it abuts against the elastic blocking portion 260 under an external force (such as an elastic opening force), the elastic blocking portion 260 may deform or move, so that the elastic blocking portion 260 can offset the external force or the inertial force when the hinge blade 220 rotates, thereby enabling the hinge blade 220 to stay at a preset position between the first position and the second position, or the second position.

[0097] It should be noted that the position where the hinge blade 220 stays may be the position where it just abuts against the elastic blocking portion 260, or the position where the hinge blade 220 rebounds after abutting against the elastic blocking portion 260, that is, the staying position may be between the first position and the position where it just abuts against the elastic blocking portion 260.

[0098] Again, for example, the elastic blocking portion 260 may be provided on the hinge blade 220. When the hinge blade 220 rotates from the first position to a position where the elastic blocking portion 260 abuts against the hinge seat 210 under an external force, the hinge blade 220 may stay at a preset position between the first position and the second position, or the second position. Of course, elastic blocking portions 260 may be provided on both the hinge seat 210 and the hinge blade 220.

[0099] According to the hinge assembly 2000 of the embodiments of the present invention, by providing the elastic blocking portion 260 on the hinge seat 210 or the hinge blade 220, the elastic blocking portion 260 can offset the elastic opening force acting on the hinge blade 220 or the inertial force generated due to the hinge blade 220 being elastically opened, so that the hinge blade 220 can stop at a preset position. On the one hand, the controllability of the elastic opening position of the hinge blade 220 can be realized, and the impact force generated due to the elastic opening of the hinge blade 220 can be reduced, thereby reducing the noise generated during the automatic door opening process. On the other hand, if the automatically opened angle of the hinge blade 220 is less than the maximum angle, after the automatic door opening, it is convenient for the user to grasp the door body 3000 to realize manual door opening, especially for the scheme of embedding the door body 3000, the effect is more obvious.

[0100] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic blocking portion 260 is configured such that when the door is automatically opened, the hinge seat 210 or the hinge blade 220 without the elastic blocking portion 260 is blocked by the elastic blocking portion 260, so that the hinge blade 220 stays at a preset position; when the door is manually pushed or pulled, the elastic blocking portion 260 deforms or moves, so that the hinge seat 210 or the hinge blade 220 without the elastic blocking portion 260 rotates to the first position or the second position.

[0101] That is to say, the elastic blocking portion 260 can deform or move under an external acting force, so that the hinge blade 220 can be rotatable between the first position and the second position.

[0102] Here, an example is given where when the hinge blade 220 is in a preset position, the preset opening angle of the door body 3000 is less than the maximum opening angle.

[0103] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 show a schematic diagram of the hinge blade 220 of the hinge assembly 2000 in the first position. In this position, the door body 3000 connected to the hinge blade 220 is in a closed state. Figure 4 and Figure 5 show a schematic diagram of the hinge blade 220 of the hinge assembly 2000 in a preset position. In this position, the door body 3000 connected to the hinge blade 220 is in a state of opening a preset angle. Specifically, when the door body 3000 is bounced open, the door body 3000 drives the hinge blade 220 to rotate together. When the hinge blade 220 rotates from the first position to the position where the elastic blocking portion 260 abuts against the hinge seat 210 or the hinge blade 220, the elastic blocking portion 260 can offset the bounce force or the inertial force generated due to the door body 3000 being bounced open, so that the hinge blade 220 stops at the preset position as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 Thereby, the door body 3000 can be stopped in a set state.

[0104] Figure 6 and Figure 7 show a schematic diagram of the hinge blade 220 of the hinge assembly 2000 in the second position. In this position, the door body 3000 connected to the hinge blade 220 is in a state of the maximum opening angle. Since the door body 3000 is opened by a certain angle, it is convenient for the user to grasp the door body 3000, so that the user can manually open the door. During the process of the user manually opening the door body 3000, the elastic blocking portion 260 can be deformed or moved, so that the user can smoothly open the door body 3000 to the preset angle or even fully open. When the door body 3000 is in a state of the maximum opening angle, the hinge blade 220 is in the Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown second position.

[0105] It can be seen from this that under the action of the bounce force, the door body 3000 can be bounced open, that is, the hinge blade 220 can start to rotate from the first position. Under the action of the elastic blocking portion 260, the hinge blade 220 can stop at the preset position, that is, the door body 3000 can stop at a certain angle. Under the external force of the user, the hinge blade 220 can overcome the resistance of the elastic blocking portion 260 and rotate to the second position, so that the door body 3000 reaches the state of the maximum opening angle. On the contrary, when the door body 3000 goes from the state of the maximum opening angle to the closed state, correspondingly, the hinge blade 220 can rotate from the second position to the first position.

[0106] Among them, at least a part of the elastic blocking portion 260 can be made of an elastic material. For example, at least a part of the elastic blocking portion 260 can be a rubber member, so that the elastic blocking portion 260 can be deformed under an external force. When the external force is withdrawn, the elastic blocking portion 260 can return to its original state, achieving the purpose of repeated use. The elastic blocking portion 260 can greatly reduce the noise generated during the process of opening and closing the door body 3000, and during the process of opening and closing the door body 3000, it is not easy for the user to perceive a foreign body feeling, and the use experience is good. Of course, the elastic blocking portion 260 can also include structures such as springs, so that the elastic blocking portion 260 can be displaced under an external force.

[0107] As Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the hinge seat 210 includes two oppositely arranged mounting walls 2141. An opening 214 is formed between the two mounting walls 2141. Both ends of the rotating shaft 250 are respectively arranged on the two mounting walls 2141. The elastic blocking portion 260 is arranged on the mounting wall 2141, or the elastic blocking portion 260 is arranged on the wall of the hinge blade 220 opposite to the mounting wall 2141.

[0108] That is to say, the elastic blocking portion 260 can be arranged at any one of the positions where the hinge blade 220 and the hinge seat 210 face each other, so that during the rotation of the hinge blade 220, the elastic blocking portion 260 can generate resistance. Specifically, in the embodiment where the elastic blocking portion 260 is arranged on the mounting wall 2141 of the hinge seat 210, when the hinge blade 220 rotates to a certain angle, the hinge blade 220 interferes with the elastic blocking portion 260, causing the hinge blade 220 to stop; in the embodiment where the elastic blocking portion 260 is arranged on the wall of the hinge blade 220 opposite to the mounting wall 2141, when the hinge blade 220 rotates to a certain angle, the elastic blocking portion 260 interferes with the hinge seat 210, causing the hinge blade 220 to stop.

[0109] Thus, by arranging the elastic blocking portion 260 at the above positions, it can be ensured that while the hinge blade 220 can stop at a preset position during the rotation process, it does not affect the rotation of the hinge blade 220 between the first position and the second position, and the controllability of the elastic opening position of the hinge blade 220 can be better realized.

[0110] In some embodiments, the elastic blocking portion 260 is arranged on at least one mounting wall 2141, and the elastic blocking portion 260 forms a blocking convex portion protruding from the mounting wall 2141, so that during the rotation of the hinge blade 220, the elastic blocking portion 260 can generate a certain block on the hinge blade 220, so that the hinge blade 220 can stop at a preset position between the first position and the second position, realizing the controllability of the elastic opening position of the hinge blade 220.

[0111] AsFigures 8 - 11 As shown, in some embodiments, another one of the hinge seat 210 and the hinge blade 220 is provided with a stop portion, and the other one of the hinge seat 210 and the hinge blade 220 abuts against the elastic blocking portion 260 through the stop portion.

[0112] For example, the elastic blocking portion 260 can be arranged on the mounting wall 2141 of the hinge seat 210, and the stop portion can be arranged on the wall of the hinge blade 220 opposite to the mounting wall 2141; again, the stop portion can be arranged on the mounting wall 2141 of the hinge seat 210, and the elastic blocking portion 260 can be arranged on the wall of the hinge blade 220 opposite to the mounting wall 2141.

[0113] Specifically, Figure 8 A schematic diagram showing the hinge blade 220 of the hinge assembly 2000 in the first position is shown. In this position, the door body 3000 connected to the hinge blade 220 is in the closed state, and there is a certain distance between the stop portion and the elastic blocking portion 260.

[0114] Figure 9 A schematic diagram showing the hinge blade 220 of the hinge assembly 2000 in the preset position is shown. In this position, the door body 3000 connected to the hinge blade 220 is in the state of being opened by a preset angle, and the stop portion abuts against the elastic blocking portion 260. Specifically, if the door body 3000 is bounced open, the door body 3000 drives the hinge blade 220 to rotate together. When the hinge blade 220 rotates from the first position to the position where the elastic blocking portion 260 abuts against the stop portion, the bounce force or the inertial force generated due to the door body 3000 being bounced open can be offset, so that the hinge blade 220 is in the preset position as shown in Figure 9 so that the door body 3000 can stop in the set state.

[0115] Since the door body 3000 is opened by a certain angle, it is convenient for the user to grasp the door body 3000, so that the user can manually open the door. During the process of the user opening the door body 3000, the elastic blocking portion 260 can be deformed or move, and the positions of the elastic blocking portion 260 and the stop portion are interchanged, so that the user can smoothly open the door body 3000 to the preset angle or even fully open. When the door body 3000 is in the state of the maximum opening angle, the hinge blade 220 is in the second position.

[0116] Thus, by providing the elastic blocking portion 260 and the stop portion, when the hinge blade 220 rotates to a position where the elastic blocking portion 260 contacts the stop portion, the hinge blade 220 is limited, so that the hinge blade 220 stops at a preset position, that is, the door body 3000 can stop at a certain angle. When the user manually opens the door, a greater force is applied to the hinge blade 220, causing the elastic blocking block to deform or move, and the elastic blocking portion 260 and the stop portion cross each other to swap positions, enabling the hinge blade 220 to rotate towards the second position, and further enabling the door body 3000 to be opened to a greater angle.

[0117] In some examples, the stop portion is the stop protrusion 261. With such a setting, not only can the controllability of the elastic opening position of the hinge blade 220 be better achieved, but also the noise generated during the door opening process can be further reduced.

[0118] Among them, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the stop protrusion 261 has a stop surface 2611 and a guiding surface 2612 arranged in opposite directions. In a state where the hinge blade 220 is in the preset position, the stop surface 2611 stops on one side of the elastic blocking portion 260, and the angle between the stop surface 2611 and the mounting wall 2141 is greater than the angle between the guiding surface 2612 and the mounting wall 2141.

[0119] With such a setting, it can be prevented that when the hinge blade 220 rotates to a position where the elastic blocking portion 260 abuts against the stop protrusion 261, the hinge blade 220 crosses over the elastic blocking portion 260 under the action of inertia and cannot stay at the preset position.

[0120] In some examples not shown in the figure, the stop portion is a recess, and the elastic blocking portion 260 can cooperate with the wall surface of the recess to achieve the limiting function, so that the hinge blade 220 can stay at the preset position.

[0121] As Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, in some examples, the elastic blocking portion 260 is an elastic blocking protrusion, and the elastic blocking protrusion has two guiding surfaces 262, and the two guiding surfaces 262 are arranged in opposite directions.

[0122] In an embodiment where the elastic blocking protrusion is provided on the hinge seat 210 and the stop protrusion 261 is provided on the hinge blade 220, by providing the guiding surfaces 262 on opposite sides of the elastic blocking protrusion, during the process of the hinge blade 220 rotating from the first position to the second position, and during the process of rotating from the second position to the first position, the stop protrusion 261 can cross over the elastic blocking protrusion, ensuring that the hinge blade 220 can reciprocally rotate between the first position and the second position, thereby ensuring that the door body 3000 can be smoothly opened and closed.

[0123] In the embodiment where the stop protrusion 261 is provided on the hinge seat 210 and the elastic blocking protrusion is provided on the hinge blade 220, by providing guide surfaces 262 on opposite sides of the elastic blocking protrusion, when the hinge blade 220 rotates from the first position to the second position and from the second position to the first position, the elastic blocking protrusion can cross the stop protrusion 261 more smoothly, ensuring that the hinge blade 220 can rotate reciprocally between the first position and the second position, so that the door body 3000 can be opened and closed smoothly.

[0124] Among them, the two guide surfaces 262 can be arranged oppositely in the extending direction of an arc, and the center of the arc is located on the central axis of the rotating shaft 250.

[0125] Such as Figures 12 - 15 shown, in some examples, the elastic blocking portion 260 is an elastic roller.

[0126] For example, an elastic roller is provided on the mounting wall 2141 of the hinge seat 210, and a stop protrusion 261 is provided at a position of the hinge blade 220 opposite to the mounting wall 2141; or, a stop protrusion 261 is provided on the mounting wall 2141 of the hinge seat 210, and an elastic roller is provided at a position of the hinge blade 220 opposite to the mounting wall 2141.

[0127] Specifically, Figure 12 shows a schematic diagram of the hinge blade 220 of the hinge assembly 2000 in the first position. In this position, the door body 3000 connected to the hinge blade 220 is in the closed state, and there is a certain distance between the stop protrusion 261 and the elastic roller.

[0128] When the door body 3000 is bounced open, the door body 3000 drives the hinge blade 220 to rotate together. When the hinge blade 220 rotates from the first position to the position where the elastic roller abuts against the stop protrusion 261, the bounce force or the inertial force generated due to the door body 3000 being bounced open can be offset, so that the hinge blade 220 is in a preset position, and thus the door body 3000 can stop at the set state.

[0129] Since the door body 3000 is opened at a certain angle, it is convenient for the user to grasp the door body 3000, so that the user can manually open the door. During the process of the user opening the door body 3000, the elastic roller rotates, and the elastic roller rolls from one side of the stop protrusion 261 to the other side of the stop protrusion 261, so that the positions of the elastic roller and the stop protrusion 261 are interchanged, enabling the user to smoothly open the door body 3000 to the preset angle or even fully open. When the door body 3000 is in the state of the maximum opening angle, the hinge blade 220 is in the second position.

[0130] Accordingly, by setting the elastic blocking portion 260 as an elastic roller, when the hinge blade 220 rotates to a position where the stop projection 261 contacts the elastic roller, the hinge blade 220 is limited, so that the hinge blade 220 stops at a preset position. When the user manually opens the door, a greater force is applied to the hinge blade 220, causing the elastic roller to deform and rotate, and the stop projection 261 and the elastic roller cross each other to swap positions, enabling the hinge blade 220 to rotate towards the second position, and further enabling the door body 3000 to be opened to a greater angle.

[0131] As Figures 16 - 19 shown, in some examples, one of the hinge base 210 and the hinge blade 220 has a mounting groove 271. The elastic blocking portion 260 includes a head 263 and an elastic member 264. The head 263 is movably disposed in the mounting groove 271, and the elastic member 264 is disposed between the bottom wall of the mounting groove 271 and the head 263 for driving the head 263 to move towards the opening of the mounting groove 271, so that when the hinge blade 220 is in a preset position, the head 263 extends out of the mounting groove 271 and abuts against the stop portion.

[0132] Specifically, as Figure 17 shown, in this embodiment, the hinge base 210 is provided with a mounting groove 271. The opening of the mounting groove 271 faces the opening 214. The head 263 can partially extend out of the opening of the mounting groove 271 under the action of the elastic member 264, so that the head 263 extends into the opening 214. When the head 263 abuts against the stop portion, the hinge blade 220 can stay at a preset position.

[0133] In some specific examples, one of the hinge base 210 and the hinge blade 220 is provided with a rotatable adjusting member 270. The portion of the adjusting member 270 opposite to the opening of the mounting groove 271 forms the bottom wall of the mounting groove 271. The adjusting member 270 is used to adjust the compression amount of the elastic member 264.

[0134] The adjusting member 270 can be threadedly connected to the hinge base 210 or the hinge blade 220, so as to change the mating length between the adjusting member 270 and the hinge base 210 or the hinge blade 220, and further change the compression amount of the adjusting member 270, realizing adjustable resistance of the hinge blade 220.

[0135] As Figures 1 - 19 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the hinge blade 220 includes a first connecting section 223, a second connecting section 224, and a transition section 225. One end of the first connecting section 223 is rotatably connected to the hinge base 210 through a rotating shaft 250. The second connecting section 224 is disposed on one side in the thickness direction of the first connecting section 223. Both ends of the transition section 225 are respectively connected to the other end of the first connecting section 223 and one end of the second connecting section 224. At least part of the transition section 225 passes through the opening 214.

[0136] Among them, by connecting one end of the first connecting section 223 to the hinge seat 210 through a rotating shaft 250, the hinge blade 220 can be rotatably connected to the hinge seat 210; by passing at least part of the transition section 225 through the opening 214, the hinge blade 220 can be fixedly connected to the door body 3000; by connecting both ends of the transition section 225 to the other end of the first connecting section 223 and one end of the second connecting section 224 respectively, the fixed connection between the first connecting section 223 and the second connecting section 224 can be realized.

[0137] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 250 is fixed to the hinge seat 210. The first connecting section 223 of the hinge blade 220 includes a first connecting portion 2261 and a second connecting portion 2262. The first connecting portion 2261 and the second connecting portion 2262 are arranged at an interval in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 250. Both the first connecting portion 2261 and the second connecting portion 2262 are rotationally engaged with the rotating shaft 250, so that the hinge blade 220 can be rotatably connected to the hinge seat 210.

[0138] Of course, the rotating shaft 250 can also be fixed to the hinge blade 220 and is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 210, so that the hinge blade 220 can be rotatably connected to the hinge seat 210.

[0139] As Figures 2 - 7 shown, in some embodiments, the transition section 225 forms an arc structure, and the radial direction of the arc structure intersects with the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 250. For example, the center of the arc structure can be located on the rotation axis of the rotating shaft 250, and the second connecting section 224 is a straight structure.

[0140] Among them, by forming the transition section 225 into an arc structure, when the hinge blade 220 rotates around the rotating shaft 250, the hinge blade 220 can be prevented from contacting the hole wall of the opening 214 to a certain extent, so that the hinge blade 220 can rotate effectively and the stability during the rotation process can be ensured to a certain extent, that is, the stability of the door body 3000 during the rotation process is ensured to a certain extent, and the working performance of the door body 3000 is ensured.

[0141] At the same time, by setting the second connecting section 224 as a straight structure, the forming difficulty of the second connecting section 224 can be reduced, and the connection difficulty between the second connecting section 224 and the door body 3000 can also be reduced.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first connecting section 223 forms an arc structure that bends away from the second connecting section 224, so that the first connecting section 223 can be prevented from being interfered during the rotation process of the hinge blade 220 to a certain extent, so that the hinge blade 220 can rotate effectively and the stability during the rotation process can be ensured to a certain extent.

[0143] Of course, the first connecting section 223 can also form a straight structure, that is, both ends of the arc transition section 225 are respectively connected to one end of the first connecting section 223 and one end of the second connecting section 224, so that the hinge blade 220 can form a multi-bending structure.

[0144] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the elastic blocking portion 260 is provided on the hinge seat 210, and at least part of the elastic blocking portion 260 is located within the projection range of the transition section 225 on the mounting wall 2141.

[0145] With such a setting, during the rotation of the hinge blade 220, the elastic blocking portion 260 can act on the first connecting section 223 or the transition section 225, so that the hinge blade 220 can stay at a preset position, and the hinge blade 220 can also be unobstructed during the process of rotating from the first position to the preset position, ensuring that the hinge blade 220 can normally bounce open at a certain angle.

[0146] In order to match modern homes, current laundry treatment devices are increasingly tending to be fully embedded or flush-mounted in the cabinet. However, this installation method will affect the opening angle of the door body. Based on this, the present application provides a laundry treatment device 6000, which, by adopting the above hinge assembly 2000, can open the door body 3000 to the maximum opening angle on the basis of ensuring that the laundry treatment device 6000 can be fully embedded or flush-mounted in the cabinet. Moreover, after the door body 3000 is opened, the hinge seat 210 cannot be seen, and the aesthetics is higher.

[0147] Next, the installation structure of the hinge assembly 2000 and the cabinet assembly 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0148] As Figure 23 shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the cabinet assembly 1000 includes a mounting panel 102, a through opening 110 is provided on the mounting panel 102, the door body 3000 is rotatably provided outside the mounting panel 102 through the hinge assembly 2000, the door body 3000 is used to open and close the through opening 110, and the hinge assembly 2000 is provided inside the mounting panel 102. Here, the mounting panel 102 can be the front panel of the laundry treatment device 6000.

[0149] As Figures 10 - 12 shown, the cabinet assembly 1000 further includes a cabinet 101, one side of the cabinet 101 has an opening, the mounting panel 102 is provided at the opening and connected to the cabinet 101, so that the mounting panel 102 and the cabinet 101 are combined to form a relatively sealed cabinet assembly 1000, thereby protecting the important structures of the laundry treatment device 6000.

[0150] As Figure 23As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting panel 102 further has an avoidance opening 120, which is located on one side of the through opening 110, and the avoidance opening 120 is disposed opposite to the opening 214. It should be noted that the one side mentioned here can be any side in the circumferential direction of the through opening 110, such as: the left side, the right side, the upper side, the lower side, or the upper left side, the lower left side, etc.

[0151] Among them, the hinge seat 210 is provided on the inner side of the mounting panel 102, and at least a part of the hinge blade 220 extends to the outside of the mounting panel 102 through the avoidance opening 120 to be connected to the door body 3000.

[0152] In some embodiments, both the through opening 110 and the avoidance opening 120 can penetrate the mounting panel 102 along the thickness direction of the mounting panel 102. Among them, by providing the through opening 110, it is used to realize the connection of the opposite sides of the mounting panel 102 in the thickness direction; by providing the avoidance opening 120, it is ensured that when the hinge seat 210 is provided on the inner side of the mounting panel 102 and the hinge blade 220 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 210, a part of the hinge blade 220 can extend to the outside of the mounting panel 102 through the avoidance opening 120 to be connected to the door body 3000.

[0153] The door body 3000 is rotatably provided on the outside of the mounting panel 102 through the hinge assembly 2000, and the door body 3000 is used to open and close the through opening 110. That is to say, the hinge assembly 2000 can realize rotatably setting the door body 3000 on the outside of the mounting panel 102, so as to facilitate using the door body 3000 to open and close the through opening 110 on the mounting panel 102. Among them, when using the door body 3000 to open the through opening 110, the connection of the opposite sides of the mounting panel 102 can be realized; when using the door body 3000 to close the through opening 110, the through opening 110 can be blocked.

[0154] In some embodiments, the size of the door body 3000 is greater than or equal to the size of the through opening 110. For example, the shape of the door body 3000 is adapted to the shape of the through opening 110, so as to facilitate using the door body 3000 to open and close the through opening 110 and ensure the shielding effect when the door body 3000 closes the through opening 110 to a certain extent.

[0155] It should also be noted that the above-mentioned door body 3000 can be a circular door body 3000, a square door body 3000 (such as a rectangular door body 3000, a square door body 3000, etc.), or other irregular-shaped door bodies 3000. Among them, when the door body 3000 is a circular door body 3000, the door body 3000 and the cabinet assembly 1000 can be rotatably connected through a hinge assembly 2000, and the hinge assembly 2000 can be provided on any side of the circular door body 3000; when the door body 3000 is a square door body 3000, the door body 3000 and the cabinet assembly 1000 can be rotatably connected through a hinge assembly 2000, or can be rotatably connected through multiple hinge assemblies 2000. When multiple hinge assemblies 2000 are provided, a plurality of avoidance openings 120 are provided on the mounting panel 102, and the plurality of avoidance openings 120 correspond to the plurality of hinge assemblies 2000 one by one, and the plurality of hinge assemblies 2000 are spaced apart on the same side of the square door body 3000. In this way, while using the hinge assembly 2000 to realize the rotational connection between the door body 3000 and the mounting panel 102, the connection strength between the door body 3000 and the mounting panel 102 can also be improved, thereby ensuring the stability of the door body 3000 during rotation to a certain extent.

[0156] It should be emphasized that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0157] In this embodiment, the hinge seat 210 and the door body 3000 are provided on the inner and outer sides of the mounting panel 102, and the hinge blade 220 can be connected to the hinge seat 210 and the door body 3000 located on the inner and outer sides of the mounting panel 102 at the same time.

[0158] Among them, by providing the hinge seat 210 and the door body 3000 on the opposite sides of the mounting panel 102, when the door body 3000 opens the through opening 110, the mounting panel 102 can be used to block the hinge seat 210, so as to avoid the user directly observing the hinge seat 210 to a certain extent, thereby improving the aesthetics of the laundry treatment device 6000, and the mounting panel 102 can also be used to protect the hinge seat 210 and extend the service life of the hinge seat 210.

[0159] It should be noted that the above-mentioned outer side can be understood as Figure 23 the front side of the mounting panel 102 shown, and the inner side can be understood as Figure 23 the rear side of the mounting panel 102 shown, and the inner side and the outer side are oppositely arranged.

[0160] Of course, in some other embodiments, when the door body 3000 is located on the top of the cabinet assembly 1000, the above-mentioned outer side can be understood as the upper side of the mounting panel 102, and the inner side can be understood as the lower side of the mounting panel 102, and the upper side and the lower side are oppositely arranged.

[0161] By rotatably connecting the hinge blade 220 with the hinge seat 210 and extending at least a part of the hinge blade 220 to the outside of the mounting panel 102 through the avoidance opening 120 to connect with the door body 3000, the rotational connection between the door body 3000 and the mounting panel 102 is realized, which is convenient for controlling the rotation of the door body 3000 relative to the mounting panel 102 to realize the opening and closing of the through opening 110 by using the door body 3000, and reducing the difficulty of opening and closing the through opening 110.

[0162] As can be seen from the above structure, by providing the avoidance opening 120 on the mounting panel 102, part of the structure of the hinge assembly 2000 can be arranged inside the mounting panel 102 and another part of the hinge assembly 2000 can be arranged outside the mounting panel 102 to connect with the door body 3000, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the mounting panel 102 and the door body 3000. While ensuring the opening and closing performance of the door body 3000, the appearance of the laundry treatment device 6000 can be improved, and the aesthetic degree of the laundry treatment device 6000 can be enhanced.

[0163] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 、 Figures 8 - 15 As shown, a first connection hole 213 is provided on the hinge seat 210, a first mating hole matching with the first connection hole 213 is provided on the mounting panel 102, and the first connection hole 213 and the first mating hole are fixedly connected by a first fastener, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the hinge seat 210 and the mounting panel 102, which is convenient for using the mounting panel 102 to support the hinge seat 210 and improving the position stability of the hinge seat 210.

[0164] Optionally, the first fastener is a fastening bolt or a fastening screw, etc. In this way, while realizing the fixed connection between the hinge seat 210 and the mounting panel 102 by using the first fastener, the hinge seat 210 and the mounting panel 102 can also form a detachable connection, so as to reduce the connection difficulty between the hinge seat 210 and the mounting panel 102 and improve the connection efficiency.

[0165] Of course, in some other embodiments, the hinge seat 210 and the mounting panel 102 can also be non-detachably connected by bonding, welding, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0166] In combination with Figure 1 、 Figures 8 - 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the hinge seat 210 includes a first seat body 215 and a second seat body 216. The second seat body 216 is connected to one end of the first seat body 215. The rotating shaft 250 is arranged on the second seat body 216 so that the hinge blade 220 is rotatably connected to the second seat body 216, and an opening 214 is arranged on the second seat body 216.

[0167] Here, it means that the hinge seat 210 includes a first seat body 215 and a second seat body 216 which are connected to each other. The hinge blade 220 is rotatably connected to the second seat body 216. In this way, while realizing the rotational connection between the hinge blade 220 and the hinge seat 210, the connection difficulty between the hinge blade 220 and the hinge seat 210 can be reduced.

[0168] At the same time, by providing an opening 214 on the second seat body 216 and arranging the opening 214 opposite to and communicating with the avoidance port 120, while ensuring that at least a part of the hinge blade 220 connected to the second seat body 216 can extend through the avoidance port 120 to be connected to the door body 3000, it can also avoid the second seat body 216 from hindering the rotation of the hinge blade 220 to a certain extent, that is, to avoid the interference of the hinge blade 220 with the hinge seat 210 during the rotation process, thereby ensuring the smooth rotation of the hinge blade 220 to a certain extent and improving the working performance of the hinge assembly 2000.

[0169] Optionally, as Figure 23 shown, one end of the first seat body 215 away from the second seat body 216 is connected to the mounting panel 102, and one end of the second seat body 216 away from the hinge blade 220 is connected to the mounting panel 102. That is to say, both the first seat body 215 and the second seat body 216 are connected to the mounting panel 102. In this way, while realizing the fixed connection between the hinge seat 210 and the mounting panel 102, the connection strength between the hinge seat 210 and the mounting panel 102 can also be improved, so as to facilitate the use of the mounting panel 102 to support the hinge seat 210 and improve the position stability of the hinge seat 210, that is, to improve the position stability of the hinge assembly 2000 and ensure the working performance of the hinge assembly 2000 to a certain extent.

[0170] In addition, through the above settings, the connection points of the first seat body 215, the second seat body 216 and the mounting panel 102 can be set far away from the hinge blade 220, so as to avoid the hinge blade 220 from hindering the connection between the hinge seat 210 and the mounting panel 102, thereby reducing the connection difficulty between the hinge seat 210 and the mounting panel 102.

[0171] In some embodiments, as shown in combination with Figure 1 、 Figures 8 - 15 shown, first connection holes 213 are provided on both the end of the first seat body 215 away from the second seat body 216 and the end of the second seat body 216 away from the hinge blade 220. The first seat body 215 and the second seat body 216 are respectively fixedly connected to the mounting panel 102 through the first connection holes 213 to realize the fixed connection between the hinge seat 210 and the mounting panel 102.

[0172] In summary, the hinge seat 210 of the present application includes a first seat body 215 and a second seat body 216 connected to each other.
