Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of folding cover technology, specifically relating to a folding cover and a garment processing device having the folding cover. Background Technology

[0002] In order to facilitate opening and closing and save space, the top cover of a top-loading washing machine is generally designed as a folding structure, consisting of a front door cover and a rear door cover that are hinged together. It is easy to open. The user only needs to lift the front door cover to fold the front door cover and the rear door cover together. The user does not need to lift the folding door cover to open it.

[0003] To achieve a hinged connection between the front and rear door covers, a hinge shaft is provided between them. One form of the hinge shaft is that it is directly molded onto either the front or rear door cover. For example, patent CN201520685133.7 discloses a folding washing machine lid, including an active lid and a passive lid. The passive lid has four cylindrical connecting blocks symmetrically arranged on both sides, with pivots on both ends. The active lid has two symmetrically arranged connecting grooves on its right side that mate with the connecting blocks, and pivot holes for mates with the pivots are provided on the side walls of the connecting grooves. In this patent, the pivots are made of plastic, integrally injection-molded with the passive lid. The problems are: 1. Insufficient structural strength of the pivots. 2. The pivots need to be deformed to fit into the pivot holes; this installation method is difficult, increasing installation time and cost; furthermore, it lacks stability, as the fit between the pivot and the pivot hole may not be tight or secure after deformation.

[0004] Another type of hinge shaft uses a metal material. For example, patent CN201680028332.8 discloses a folding cover, including: a first cover part and a second cover part made of resin, and a metal connecting shaft connecting the first cover part and the second cover part, which can be folded around the connecting shaft. The first cover part and the second cover part have multiple connecting parts for the connecting shaft to pass through, achieving hinge connection. The disadvantages of using a metal hinge shaft are: firstly, the hinge shaft needs to pass through multiple connecting parts, requiring high positioning and alignment, increasing the difficulty of production and installation; secondly, the two ends of the hinge shaft need to be limited to prevent it from coming off, increasing the installation steps.

[0030] See Figures 1-14 This is an embodiment of a folding top cover proposed in this invention. A folding top cover 100 includes a front door cover 10, a rear door cover 20, and a hinge structure 30. The front door cover 10 and the rear door cover 20 are hinged together by the hinge structure 30, such that when the folding top cover 100 is opened, the front door cover 10 folds onto the rear door cover 20. The hinge structure 30 has a first hinge portion 31 on one of the front door cover 10 and the rear door cover 20, a second hinge portion 32 on the other of the front door cover 10 and the rear door cover 20, and a hinge member 33 assembled and fixed to the first hinge portion 31. The hinge member 33 is a separate component. A hinge shaft 341 is provided on one of the second hinge portion 32 and the hinge member 33, and a hinge hole 342 matching the hinge shaft 341 is provided on the other. By assembling and fixing the hinge 33 to the first hinge 31, the structural strength is improved, making the connection of the pivot point more stable. Furthermore, after the hinge 33 is assembled and fixed to the first hinge 32, the hinge assembly of the front door cover 10 and the rear door cover 20 is achieved. During installation, firstly, the hinge holes 342 on the hinge 33 and the second hinge 32 are aligned with the hinge shaft 341 and installed. Then, the hinge 33 is assembled and fixed to the first hinge 31. This step-by-step installation method eliminates the need for deformation installation operations, reduces the difficulty of installation, and facilitates the tightness and firmness of the fit between the hinge holes 342 and the hinge shaft 341 after installation.

[0031] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 As shown, the front door cover 10 has a second hinge portion 32, the rear door cover 20 has a first hinge portion 31, the hinge member 33 has a hinge shaft 341, and the second hinge portion 32 has a hinge hole 342. The front door cover 10 has a front upper cover 11 and a front lower cover 12 that are assembled together. The second hinge portion 32 is integrally injection molded with the front lower cover 12, and the second hinge portion 32 protrudes downward. The rear door cover 20 has a rear door frame. The first hinge portion 31 and the rear door frame are integrally injection molded, and the hinge member 33 is also injection molded.

[0032] In other embodiments, a first hinge portion 31 may be provided on the front door cover 10 and a second hinge portion 32 may be provided on the rear door cover 20; or a hinge hole may be provided on the hinge member 33 and a hinge shaft may be provided on the second hinge portion 32, etc.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, a hinge shaft 341 is provided at one end of the hinge member 33. After the first hinge portion 31 and the hinge member 33 are assembled and fixed, a rotating column that can rotate relative to the second hinge portion 32 is formed. The formed rotating column provides more stable support for the hinge shaft 341, making the connection between the hinge shaft 341 and the surrounding structure tighter, better dispersing stress when subjected to force, and improving stability during rotation. During folding, the rotating column can provide a stable center of rotation, making the folding action of the front door cover 10 smoother and more accurate. Providing a hinge shaft 341 in the hinge member 33 facilitates the installation of the hinge shaft 341 and the hinge hole 342. By ensuring the parallelism of the hinge member 33 in the axial direction, the hinge shaft 341 can be installed into the hinge hole 342, avoiding deformation installation.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, see Figures 2-4 As shown, the front door cover 10 is provided with a clearance groove 13 to avoid the rotating column. The rotating column is preferably cylindrical, and both the first hinge portion 31 and the hinge member 33 are semi-cylindrical structures, which form a cylinder after being fitted and fixed. The clearance groove 13 is provided for two reasons: first, to avoid interference when the front door cover 10 is folded; and second, during assembly, the hinge shaft 341 of the hinge member 33 is first inserted into the hinge hole 342, then the hinge member 33 is placed in the clearance groove 13, and then the second hinge portion 32 on the rear door cover 20 is fixed to the hinge member 33. The clearance groove 13 plays a supporting role during the installation of the hinge member 33.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the participants Figures 4-5As shown, the first hinge portion 31 has a first semi-column 311, a first end plate 312 disposed at one end of the first semi-column 311, and a hinge shaft 341 disposed on the first end plate 312. The first end plate 312 extends radially towards the outer end of the hinge member 33 and is located at the outer end of the hinge member 33. The first end plate 312 allows the hinge shaft 341 to be positioned in the middle of the rotation axis, aligning the axis of the hinge shaft 341 with the axis of the rotating column. It also enhances the structural strength of this part, making the hinge shaft more stable under various forces and ensuring more uniform force transmission during rotation. The first end plate 312, located at the outer end of the hinge member 33, facilitates the positioning and alignment of the first hinge portion 31 and the hinge member 33 during assembly, improving assembly and fixing efficiency.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the hinge 33 has a second half 331 that matches the first half 311, and a second end plate 332 located at the other end of the second half 331. The first half 311 and the second half 331 are joined to form a cylindrical structure. The first half 311 and the second half 331 extend axially. One end of the first half 311 is provided with a first end plate 312, and the other end of the second half 331 is provided with a second end plate 332. The second end plate 332 extends radially toward the outer end of the first hinge portion 31. The first end plate 312 and the second end plate 332 are located at the two ends of the hinge 33 and the first hinge portion 31 after they are fixed. When the hinge 33 is installed, it needs to move axially so that the hinge shaft 341 extends into the hinge hole 342. That is, an axial movement space for the installation of the hinge shaft 341 needs to be reserved on the front door cover 10. The second end plate 332 can fill this reserved space. The first end plate 312 and the second end plate 332 are located at the two ends after fixing, which further enhances the stability of the rotating column and prevents the hinge 33 and the first hinge part 31 from loosening or separating during use. At the same time, the first end plate 312 and the second end plate 332 can also increase the bending resistance of the rotating column; they also help to improve the assembly accuracy, preventing misalignment or displacement of the two halves during assembly and ensuring the integrity of the column structure.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the first hinge portion 31 and the hinge member 33 are fixed by fasteners 35. An insert nut 333, matching and fixed to the fastener 35, is provided on the hinge member 33. A through hole 313 is provided on the first hinge portion 31 for the fastener 35 to pass through. The hinge member 33 is injection molded, and the insert nut 333 is in-mold molded and embedded within the hinge member 33. Using fasteners 35 to connect the first hinge portion 31 and the hinge member 33 simplifies and speeds up the assembly process; simply aligning the two components, inserting the fastener 35, and tightening completes the installation, reducing assembly difficulty and cost. The insert nut 333 further enhances the stability of the connection; the cooperation between the insert nut 333 and the fastener 35 provides a higher tightening force, preventing the fastener from loosening.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, an insert nut 333 and an injection-molded sleeve 334 covering the outside of the insert nut 333 are provided on the second half 331 of the hinge member 33. Both the insert nut 333 and the injection-molded sleeve 334 protrude from the second half 331. A receiving groove 314 for accommodating the injection-molded sleeve 334 is provided on the first hinge portion 31, and a through hole 313 is formed at the bottom of the receiving groove 314. The protruding ends of the injection-molded sleeve 334 and the insert nut 333 are flush. The injection-molded sleeve 334 is formed by injection molding, so that the insert nut 333 is embedded in the injection-molded sleeve 334. The injection-molded sleeve 334 can tightly wrap the insert nut 333 to prevent the nut from loosening or rotating during use. When the first hinge portion 31 and the hinge member 22 are fixed by the fastener 35, the injection-molded sleeve 334 can be tightly embedded in the receiving groove 314, increasing the contact area, improving the stability of the connection, enabling it to withstand greater tensile and torque forces, and enhancing the strength of the entire hinge structure. The receiving groove 314 and the injection-molded sleeve 334 also serve to position the first hinge portion 31 and the hinge member 22 during installation, preventing misalignment or displacement during assembly and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the connection.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the hinge member 33 is provided with a protruding positioning rib 335, and the first hinge portion 31 is provided with a positioning groove 315 that matches the positioning rib 335. The positioning rib 335 is located within the positioning groove 315. The positioning rib 335 extends axially, and the ratio of the maximum radial dimension of the second half 331 to the dimension of the positioning rib 335 protruding from the second half 331 is less than 2. By providing the positioning rib 335 and the positioning groove 315, the first hinge portion 31 and the hinge member 22 are positioned for installation; and the contact area is increased, improving the stability of the connection and enabling it to withstand greater tensile and torque forces.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, two spaced-apart insert nuts 333 are provided in the axial direction of the hinge 33, and a positioning rib 335 is located between the two insert nuts 333. The positioning rib 335 and the injection sleeve 334 are spaced apart.

[0041] In other embodiments, the insert nut 333 may also be provided in the first hinge portion 31, and the positioning rib may also be provided in the first hinge portion 31.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, a mounting protrusion 316 is provided on the first mounting surface of the first hinge portion 31, and a mounting groove 336 is provided on the second mounting surface of the hinge member 33. The mounting groove 336 matches the mounting protrusion 316, and the mounting protrusion 316 is located in the mounting groove 336. This is beneficial to increase the contact area between the first hinge portion 31 and the hinge member 22, and to make the assembly gap smaller.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the participants Figures 12-14 As shown, a buffer pad 15 is installed on the second hinge portion 32 of the front door cover 10. When the front door cover 10 and the rear door cover 20 are in the folded state, the buffer pad 15 is located between the front door cover 10 and the rear door cover 20, playing a buffering role and avoiding direct impact between the front door cover 10 and the rear door cover 20. The front door cover 10 has a front upper cover 11 and a front lower cover 12 that are assembled and fixed. The second hinge portion 32 is integrally injection molded with the front lower cover 12. The second hinge portion 32 has a mounting hole 121 for installing the buffer pad 15, and the buffer pad 15 is installed in the mounting hole 121. The buffer pad 15 has a pad body 151 and a mounting portion 152 extending along the pad body 151. The mounting portion 152 is located in the mounting hole 121, and a bendable and outwardly extending retaining edge 153 is provided at the end of the mounting portion 152. A limiting rib 111 abutting against the retaining edge 153 is provided on the front upper cover 11. The mounting portion 152 of the buffer pad 15 is located inside the mounting hole 121, and the retaining edge 153 is clamped at the end of the mounting hole 121 and the limiting rib 111, forming an upper and lower clamping structure, which enhances the installation firmness of the buffer pad 15.

[0044] In other implementations, a buffer pad may also be provided on the rear door cover 20.
