[0022] Reference Figures 1-6 , is an embodiment of the washing device of the present invention. The washing device of the present invention can be a washing machine, a shoe washing machine, etc.

[0023] Figure 1 This is a front view of the washing equipment of this embodiment; Figure 2 This is a top view of the washing equipment in this embodiment.

[0024] This embodiment is described using a washing machine as an example. The washing machine is provided with a drying device, which includes a filter assembly. The filter assembly is provided at the connection between the return air channel and the drum, and is used to collect and clean hair debris generated during the drying process of the washing machine.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the washing machine of this embodiment includes a housing 100, a first functional component, and at least one second functional component. The first functional component is retractably mounted on a side surface of the housing 100, near the top surface of the housing 100. The first functional component includes a first functional module and a first handle fixed to the front side of the first functional module.

[0026] The second functional component includes a second functional module and a second handle detachably arranged on the front side of the second functional module. The first handle has an extension portion extending horizontally outward from the top thereof, and the second handle is arranged on the lower side of the extension portion.

[0027] Specifically, in the washing machine of this embodiment, the first functional component is the dispenser component 200, the second functional component is the filter component 300, and the second functional component is provided with one. The first functional module is the dispenser 210, the first handle is the dispenser handle 220; the second functional module is the filter 310, and the second functional module is the filter handle 320.

[0028] In this embodiment, the box body 100 is a rectangular box body 100 structure, which is surrounded by four sides, a top surface and a bottom surface.

[0029] The distributor assembly 200 and the filter assembly 300 are disposed on the front side of the housing 100 and are disposed on the upper portion of the housing 100 near the top surface of the housing 100 .

[0030] The top of the dispenser handle 220 is flush with the top surface of the box body 100. The dispenser handle 220 has an extension portion 221 extending horizontally to the left or right along the top thereof. The filter handle 320 is disposed on the lower side of the extension portion 221. Figure 2 As shown, that is, when viewed from above, the filter handle 320 is completely located on the lower side of the extension portion 221 , and there is only a structural gap between the top surface of the box body 100 and the dispenser handle 220 .

[0031] A handle linkage mechanism is provided between the dispenser assembly 200 and the filter assembly 300 .

[0032] When the filter handle 320 is pulled outward, the filter handle 320 drives the filter 310 outward through the handle linkage mechanism, while the dispenser assembly 200 remains stationary. When the dispenser handle 220 is pulled outward, the dispenser handle 220 drives the dispenser 210 outward, while the handle linkage mechanism drives only the filter handle 320 to move outward synchronously, while the filter 310 remains stationary.

[0033] The above-mentioned washing equipment can realize the linkage of two or more handles, which not only solves the problem of difficult-to-control structural gaps caused by too many handles and improves the overall aesthetics of the equipment, but also can realize multiple operation modes of the handles, such as independently operating a single handle to pull a single functional module, or operating a handle to pull a functional module and simultaneously operating other handles in linkage.

[0034] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the handle linkage mechanism includes a first stopper 410 , a second stopper 420 , a connecting rod 430 , a handle stopper 440 and an elastic member 450 .

[0035] The first stopper 410 is disposed on a side of the dispenser 210 close to the filter 310 . The first stopper 410 has a first inclined surface 411 .

[0036] The second stopper 420 is disposed on a side of the filter 310 close to the dispenser 210 ; the second stopper 420 is fixedly connected to the filter 310 .

[0037] The connecting rod 430 is provided between the dispenser 210 and the filter 310. One end of the connecting rod 430 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the filter handle 320 via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod 430 is rotatably connected to the handle stopper 440 via a rotating shaft.

[0038] The handle stopper 440 has a second inclined surface 441. The handle stopper 440 is located in front of the first stopper 410, and the second inclined surface 441 of the handle stopper 440 is in contact with and abuts against the first inclined surface 411 of the first stopper 410.

[0039] The first inclined surface 411 and the second inclined surface 441 form an inclined surface structure. The handle stopper 440 can move obliquely forward along the first inclined surface 411 through the inclined surface structure and separate from the first stopping portion 410 .

[0040] When the first stopping portion 410 moves forward, the first stopping portion 410 can drive the handle stopper 440 to move forward synchronously.

[0041] The elastic member 450 is connected to the connecting rod 430 and is used to rotate the connecting rod 430 toward the filter 310. In this embodiment, the elastic member 450 is a spring. One end of the spring is connected to the connecting rod 430, and the other end is connected to the filter handle 320.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, when the filter handle 320 is pulled outward, the connecting rod 430 rotates toward the filter 310 under the action of the elastic member 450, causing the handle stopper 440 to disengage from the first stopper 410 and abut against the second stopper 420, thereby driving the filter 310 to move outward. At this time, the dispenser handle 220 and the dispenser 210 remain stationary.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, when the dispenser handle 220 is pulled outward, the dispenser handle 220 drives the dispenser 210 to move outward, and the first stopper 410 and the handle stopper 440 remain in contact with each other, thereby driving the filter handle 320 to move outward by pushing the connecting rod 430. At this time, the filter 310 remains stationary.

[0044] In this embodiment, the handle block 440 and the connecting rod 430 only maintain a small rotation angle through a limiting structure, so that the second inclined surface 441 of the handle block 440 always remains parallel to the first inclined surface 411, and when the handle block 440 abuts against the second stop portion 420, the abutment state is maintained and no rotation or disengagement occurs.

[0045] The first stopper 410 can be an integral structure with the housing of the dispenser 210, or the first stopper 410 can be a separate component fixedly connected to the housing of the dispenser 210 via a fixing structure. The second stopper 420 can be an integral structure with the frame of the filter 310, or the second stopper 420 can be a separate component fixedly connected to the frame of the filter 310 via a fixing structure.

[0046] In this embodiment, the dispenser handle 220 and the filter handle 320 are arranged adjacent to each other, the extension portion 221 of the dispenser handle 220 is equal in width to the filter handle 320 , and the front side surface formed by the dispenser handle 220 and the filter handle 320 as a whole is rectangular.

[0047] In addition, the front side of the dispenser handle 220 is flush with the side of the box body 100; the front side of the filter handle 320 is flush with the side of the box body 100, and the dispenser handle 220 and the filter handle 320 are integrated with the box body 100 to ensure the beauty of the overall appearance.

[0048] See also Figure 6 In other embodiments, two or more second functional modules may be provided. The handle of the second functional module is provided by nesting the filter handle 320 and the dispenser handle 220, and a handle linkage mechanism is provided between adjacent functional modules to realize the linkage function of the handles.

[0049] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for a person skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
