Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of clothing processing equipment, specifically, it relates to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Washing machines and other garment processing equipment are essential household appliances in people's daily lives. With socio-economic development and improved living standards, front-loading garment processing equipment such as drum washing machines have become the mainstream in the market. Furthermore, in recent years, ultra-thin garment processing equipment with a small footprint and limited capacity has become increasingly popular.

[0003] To ensure stability and accommodate uneven surfaces, garment processing equipment typically features adjustable feet. From both aesthetic and structural installation perspectives, these feet are usually positioned a certain distance from the bottom edge of the casing. This means the actual distance the adjustable feet support is less than the overall thickness of the garment processing equipment in the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, the garment processing equipment's door, due to the presence of a glass observation window or other factors, is relatively heavy. When the door is opened, it shifts the equipment's center of gravity outwards. For ultra-thin garment processing equipment, applying additional pressure to the open door—such as when elderly people, especially those with mobility issues, often hold onto the door to retrieve garments—can easily cause the equipment to tip forward, which is unacceptable from a safety design perspective.

[0004] In existing technologies, solutions to prevent furniture from tipping over involve using expansion bolts or other fasteners to fix one side of the furniture to the wall. However, clothing processing equipment generates vibrations during operation, making rigid fixation impractical; otherwise, it would increase the vibration amplitude and damage both the wall and the equipment.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a clothing handling device that can prevent the whole machine from tipping over when the door is opened.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A garment processing device, comprising:

[0009] The door is located on one side of the garment processing equipment;

[0010] The bottom feet are located at the bottom of the garment handling equipment, including front bottom feet and rear bottom feet;

[0011] A support member is provided at the bottom of the garment processing equipment, and the distance from the support member to the side where the door is located is less than the distance from the front foot to the side where the door is located.

[0012] Furthermore, the support member has a movable support end that can switch between a support position and a storage position;

[0013] Preferably, the storage position is higher than the support position;

[0014] Preferably, when in the supported position, the supporting end is not lower than the bottom end of the front foot.

[0015] Furthermore, the support member has a connecting end, and the support member is installed at the bottom of the garment processing equipment via the connecting end;

[0017] Preferably, the support member has a support portion extending to one side at the support end; the bottom of the housing of the garment processing equipment is provided with an avoidance hole, and when the support end is rotated to the storage position, the support portion is inserted into the avoidance hole.

[0018] Furthermore, the garment processing equipment is equipped with a linkage mechanism, which is connected to the door and the support member respectively, and controls the support end of the support member to switch between the support position and the storage position as the door opens and closes;

[0019] Preferably, during the opening of the door, the linkage mechanism drives the support end to move from the storage position to the support position;

[0020] During the closing process of the door, the linkage mechanism drives the support end to move from the support position to the storage position.

[0021] Furthermore, the linkage mechanism includes:

[0022] A drive assembly is connected to the door body and rotates as the door body opens and closes;

[0023] The transmission component drives the drive component to the support member, causing the support end of the support member to switch between the support position and the storage position;

[0024] Preferably, the driving component includes:

[0025] The drive shaft is connected to the door body and rotates synchronously with the opening and closing of the door body;

[0026] The drive wheel is coaxially disposed at the lower part of the drive shaft;

[0027] The transmission assembly converts the rotational motion of the drive wheel into a power that drives the support member to rotate around its connecting end; wherein the rotation axis of the support member is perpendicular to the drive shaft;

[0028] More preferably, the door is mounted on one side wall of the housing of the garment processing equipment, and the rotation axes of the drive shaft and the support are parallel to the side wall.

[0029] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes:

[0030] The first transmission wheel meshes with the drive wheel and rotates accordingly. The first transmission wheel has a rotation axis perpendicular to the drive shaft.

[0031] The second transmission wheel is connected to the first transmission wheel in a transmission connection.

[0032] The support member is connected to the second transmission wheel and rotates with the second transmission wheel;

[0033] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a third transmission wheel connected to the first transmission wheel via a transmission shaft, and the third transmission wheel rotates synchronously with the first transmission wheel;

[0034] The second drive wheel meshes with the third drive wheel and rotates accordingly;

[0035] More preferably, a support platform is provided on the bottom wall of the housing, and the transmission shaft is mounted on the support platform;

[0036] More preferably, the drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the support platform, with the first drive wheel and the third drive wheel connected to its two ends respectively;

[0037] The drive shaft has a bushing in the area near the first drive wheel, with one end of the bushing abutting against the first drive wheel and the other end abutting against the support platform.

[0038] Furthermore, one of the drive wheel, the first transmission wheel, the second transmission wheel, and the third transmission wheel has a transmission area and a free area that are staggered along the circumferential direction, and a toothed structure is provided in the transmission area;

[0039] Preferably, the drive wheel or the third transmission wheel has transmission regions and free regions that are staggered in a circumferential direction;

[0040] More preferably, the drive wheel has the transmission region and the free region that are staggered along the circumference.

[0041] Furthermore, the total transmission ratio of the linkage mechanism is less than 1;

[0042] Preferably, the number of teeth of the third transmission wheel is greater than the number of teeth of the second transmission wheel.

[0043] Furthermore, multiple support members are provided along the extension direction of their rotation axis;

[0044] The transmission assembly is provided with multiple sets of corresponding meshing second transmission wheels and third transmission wheels, and each second transmission wheel is connected to the support member in a corresponding manner.

[0045] Alternatively, the connecting ends of multiple support members are connected in sequence, and the support member closest to the transmission assembly is connected to the second transmission wheel.

[0046] Furthermore, a hinge seat is provided on the housing of the garment processing equipment, and the door body is rotatably mounted on the hinge seat via the drive shaft;

[0047] Preferably, the hinge seat is provided with a protruding support plate, the support plate is provided with a hinge hole, and the drive shaft is rotatably inserted into the hinge hole;

[0048] More preferably, the side wall of the housing is provided with a clearance recess for accommodating the door body, and the hinge seat is disposed in the clearance recess;

[0049] The lower region of the avoidance recess is provided with a through hole; the drive shaft passes through the through hole and is connected to the drive wheel disposed inside the housing.

[0050] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0051] In this invention, a support member is added to the bottom of the garment processing equipment at a position closer to the door than the front foot. This is to address the situation where the center of gravity of the entire machine shifts forward when the door is opened. When the garment processing equipment tends to tilt forward due to pressure on the door or other reasons, the support member can provide support by contacting the ground closer to the door, preventing the garment processing equipment from tipping over and improving user safety.

[0052] In this invention, the supporting end of the support member is movably configured, allowing it to switch between a supporting position and a storage position. When the support member is needed to assist in supporting the clothing processing equipment, the supporting end of the support member is switched to the supporting position, so that the supporting end can contact the ground when the clothing processing equipment tends to tip over. When the support member is not needed, such as when the door is closed, the supporting end of the support member can be switched to the storage position and not contact the ground. This avoids the support member and the base being in a state of contact with the ground at the same time, thus preventing leveling difficulties during the installation of the clothing processing equipment. It also prevents the support member from vibrating with the clothing processing equipment during operation, avoiding additional noise between the support member and the ground, or making the support member easily damaged.

[0053] In this invention, a linkage mechanism is incorporated, allowing the opening and closing motion of the door to be linked to the switching of the support end of the support component between the supporting position and the retracted position. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the support component by the user, making it more convenient to use. The linkage mechanism employs a purely mechanical structure, requiring no circuitry or program control logic.

[0054] In this invention, the linkage mechanism is driven by a gear structure. Some gears are only provided with tooth profiles in a local area of ​​the circumference. In this way, when the door rotates and opens, after the support end of the support member rotates downward to the support position, the door continues to rotate in the opening direction without causing the support member to rotate further. This can prevent the support end from rising again due to excessive rotation of the support member.

[0055] In this invention, by setting the total transmission ratio of the linkage mechanism to be less than 1, the rotation angle of the support component is greater than the rotation angle of the door body during the linkage support component process. For example, the support end of the support component needs to rotate about 90° from the storage position to the support position. Then, the support end can reach the support position before the door body is opened less than 90°, which can prevent the clothing handling equipment from tipping over and further improve safety.

[0074] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0076] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a garment processing device, specifically, a front-opening garment processing device.

[0078] In this embodiment, the garment processing device has a housing 100, and a garment loading / unloading port is provided on the front side wall 101 of the housing 100. A door 600 is installed on the housing 100 for opening or closing the garment loading / unloading port. The bottom of the housing 100 is provided with feet 500 for supporting the garment processing device.

[0079] As one specific implementation, the garment processing device in this embodiment is a drum-type garment processing device, with an outer drum 320 and an inner drum 310 arranged inside the housing 100, the axis of which is basically horizontal.

[0080] The outer cylinder 320 has a suspension spring 410 connected to its top, with the upper end of the spring 410 connected to the top wall of the housing 100. A damper 420 is located at the bottom of the outer cylinder 320, with its upper end hinged to the outer cylinder 320 and its lower end hinged to the bottom of the housing 100, thus movably supporting the outer cylinder 320 within the housing 100. The inner cylinder 310 is coaxially arranged with the outer cylinder 320 and rotatably disposed inside the outer cylinder 320. A motor 200 is located at the rear of the outer cylinder 320, with the inner cylinder shaft passing through the bottom of the outer cylinder 320 and connected to the motor 200, driving the inner cylinder 310 to rotate.

[0081] The opening of the outer drum 320 corresponds to the clothing loading / unloading opening on the housing 100, and the two are sealed together by a window gasket. The door 600 includes a door frame 620 located in the outer peripheral area and an observation window 610 located in the middle area. The door frame 620 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 to realize the opening and closing action of the door 600. The observation window 610 is made of transparent material, allowing the user to observe the clothing in the inner drum 310 from the outside of the clothing handling equipment when the door 600 is closed.

[0082] Four feet 500 are typically provided, located in the areas near the four apex corners of the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100. Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the feet 500 include a front foot 510 provided near the side where the door body 600 is located, and a rear foot 520 provided near the other side, with two front feet 510 and two rear feet 520 provided respectively.

[0083] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In the front-rear direction, the front foot 510 is a certain distance from the front edge of the bottom wall 102, and the rear foot 520 is a certain distance from the rear edge of the bottom wall 102. More specifically, the front foot 510 is offset backward relative to the front side wall 101 of the housing 100 by a certain distance, and the rear foot 520 is offset forward relative to the rear side wall of the housing 100 by a certain distance, so that the distance between the front foot 510 and the rear foot 520 is less than the thickness of the housing 100 in the front-rear direction.

[0084] When the door 600 opens, it rotates forward and protrudes from the front wall 101 of the housing 100. Since the observation window 610 is usually made of glass, and the door 600 is relatively heavy, it shifts the center of gravity of the garment processing equipment forward. At this time, if the door 600 is subjected to downward pressure, the garment processing equipment risks tipping forward because the bottom of the housing 100 is unsupported at the front, posing a safety hazard. This risk is even greater for ultra-thin garment processing equipment with a small thickness in the front-to-back direction.

[0085] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of the present invention further employ the following technical solutions.

[0086] In this embodiment, a support member 900 is provided at the bottom of the garment processing device. The distance between the support member 900 and the front side of the housing 100 is less than the distance from the front foot 510 to the front side of the housing 100.

[0087] In one specific embodiment, the door 600 is mounted on the front side wall 101 of the housing 100, and the base 500 and the support member 900 are respectively mounted on the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100. The distance from the support member 900 to the front side wall 101 is less than the distance from the front base 510 to the front side wall 101.

[0088] In the above solution, a support member 900 is added to the bottom of the garment processing equipment, and the support member 900 is positioned further forward than the front foot 510. Thus, when the door 600 is subjected to pressure, causing the garment processing equipment to tend to tilt forward, the support member 900, in contact with the ground, can provide support to the garment processing equipment at a position further forward than the front foot 510, preventing the garment processing equipment from tilting further forward and tipping over.

[0089] In this embodiment, the support member 900 is positioned as close as possible to the front side wall 101 of the housing 100 to ensure the clothing processing equipment is supported and prevented from tipping over.

[0090] In one specific implementation of this embodiment, the support member 900 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the garment processing equipment, which can provide a certain degree of support. However, since the support member 900 and the base 500 are both in contact with the ground, it will increase the difficulty of installing and leveling the garment processing equipment. In addition, the support member 900 is further forward than the front base 510, and may be exposed from certain angles, resulting in an unsightly appearance of the entire machine.

[0091] Therefore, in another specific embodiment of this invention, the support member 900 has a movable support end 902, which can switch between a support position and a storage position. Correspondingly, the support member 900 has a support state when the support end 902 is in the support position, and a storage state when the support end 902 is in the storage position.

[0092] When the support end 902 is in the supporting position, it can contact the ground to provide support when the clothing processing equipment tends to tilt forward, thus preventing the equipment from tipping over. When the support end 902 is in the storage position, it is separated from the ground and does not affect the installation and leveling of the clothing processing equipment.

[0093] In one specific implementation, the storage position is higher than the support position, thereby ensuring that the support end 902 will not touch the ground when it is located in the storage position.

[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the door 600 is open, the support end 902 of the support member 900 can be switched to the support position so that when the clothing processing equipment tends to tilt forward, the support end 902 contacts the ground, thus providing support. When the door 600 is closed, the support end 902 switches to a storage position higher than the support position, separating from the ground. This does not affect the normal support of the clothing processing equipment by the base 500, and avoids the support member 900 and the base 500 contacting the ground simultaneously, thus avoiding additional trouble for the installation and leveling of the clothing processing equipment. At the same time, it also prevents the support member 900 from vibrating with the clothing processing equipment during operation, thus avoiding additional noise generated by the contact between the support member 900 and the ground.

[0095] Furthermore, the support position of the support end 902 is not lower than the bottom end of the front foot 510, so as to ensure that when the support end 902 is in contact with the ground for support, the front foot 510 still remains in contact with the ground.

[0096] In the preferred embodiment, when the support end 902 is in the supporting position, its height is basically flush with, but slightly higher than, the bottom of the front foot 510. Thus, when the support end 902 switches to the supporting position, it is almost touching the ground but not in contact with it. This allows for normal support via the front foot 510 and rear foot 520 when the garment handling equipment does not tend to tilt forward. This prevents the support member 900 from raising the front of the garment handling equipment, and also prevents difficulty in resetting the support end 902 when switching it from the supporting position to the storage position due to contact friction between the support member 900 and the ground.

[0097] In this embodiment, the support member 900 has a connecting end 901, and the support member 900 is installed at the bottom of the clothing processing equipment through the connecting end 901. In a specific structure, the support member 900 is installed on the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100 through the connecting end 901.

[0098] As a specific implementation of this embodiment, the support end 902 of the support member 900 can rotate around the connecting end 901 to switch between the storage position and the support position.

[0099] In one specific embodiment, the support member 900 has a certain length. When its support end 902 is in the retracted position, the connecting end 901 and the support end 902 are basically at the same height, and the support member 900 as a whole is close to the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100. The support end 902 rotates downward around the connecting end 901, switching from the retracted position to the support position. When the support end 902 rotates to the support position, the support end 902 is located below the connecting end 901, and the support member 900 is basically vertically positioned.

[0100] With the above solution, the support component 900 is almost hidden when stored, ensuring the aesthetics of the clothing processing equipment.

[0101] In a further embodiment, the support member 900 has a support portion 922 extending to one side at the support end 902. Specifically, the extension direction of the support portion 922 is perpendicular to the length direction of the support member 900. When the support end 902 is in the supported position, if the garment handling equipment tends to tilt forward, the bottom surface of the support portion 922 can contact the ground to provide support. This increases the support area in contact with the ground, making the support more stable.

[0102] Furthermore, the extension direction of the support portion 922 is the same as the rotation direction of the support end 902 when it switches from the supporting position to the storage position. An clearance hole 130 is provided on the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100, and when the support end 902 rotates to the storage position, the support portion 922 is inserted into the clearance hole 130.

[0103] The above solution ensures that the support 900 can rotate to a position that fits against the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100, making the support 900 virtually invisible when stored.

[0104] As a specific structure, the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100 is provided with a pivoting limiting part 120, and the connecting end 901 of the support member 900 is rotatably installed in the pivoting limiting part 120. The pivoting limiting part 120 can be directly stamped from the bottom wall 102. Specifically, the stamped pivoting limiting part 120 protrudes downward from the bottom wall 102, forming a semi-cylindrical structure with open ends. The connecting end 901 of the support member 900 is rotatably disposed inside the pivoting limiting part 120.

[0105] As a specific implementation of this embodiment, the position switching of the support end 902 of the support member 900 is manually operated by the user. For example, the user can rotate the support end 902 to the support position before opening the door 600, and then rotate the support end 902 back to the storage position after closing the door 600.

[0106] As another specific implementation, the garment processing equipment is provided with a driving device to drive the support end 902 to move. The control system of the garment processing equipment can obtain the opening and closing state of the door 600, and then control the driving device to drive the support end 902 to switch between the support position and the storage position.

[0107] The above solution eliminates the hassle of manual operation for the user and avoids the risk of the clothing processing equipment tipping over after the door 600 is opened if the user forgets to rotate the support component 900. However, it requires additional circuitry to enable the control system to control the drive device, and corresponding control logic needs to be written into the control system of the clothing processing equipment.

[0108] Therefore, in a preferred embodiment of this example, the clothing processing device is provided with a linkage mechanism 800 that is connected to the door 600 and the support member 900 respectively. The linkage mechanism 800 controls the support end 902 of the support member 900 to switch between the support position and the storage position as the door 600 opens and closes.

[0109] Specifically, during the opening of the door 600, the linkage mechanism 800 can drive the support end 902 of the support member 900 to move from the storage position to the support position. During the closing of the door 600, the linkage mechanism 800 can drive the support end 902 of the support member 900 to move from the support position to the storage position.

[0110] More specifically, when the door 600 is opened to a certain angle, the support end 902 of the support member 900 is driven to the support position by the linkage mechanism 800, thereby providing support when the clothing handling equipment tends to tilt forward. When the door 600 is closed, the support end 902 of the support member 900 moves to the storage position under the action of the linkage mechanism 800.

[0111] In this embodiment, by setting up a linkage mechanism 800, the support member 900 can change its state accordingly with the opening and closing of the door 600, eliminating the need for manual adjustment by the user. This is convenient to use, avoids the problem of users forgetting to adjust, and is more reliable. The linkage mechanism 800 uses a purely mechanical structure to achieve linkage control between the door 600 and the support member 900, eliminating the need for circuit and program control logic, saving costs and improving reliability.

[0112] In a further embodiment, the linkage mechanism 800 includes a drive assembly 810 and a transmission assembly 820. The drive assembly 810 is connected to the door 600 and rotates as the door 600 opens and closes. The transmission assembly 820 transmits power from the drive assembly 810 to the support member 900, thereby causing the support end 902 of the support member 900 to switch between a supporting position and a retracted position.

[0113] Specifically, the door 600 is rotatably mounted on the front side wall 101 of the housing 100. The drive assembly 810 rotates synchronously with the door 600 and transmits power to the support member 900 through the transmission assembly 820, causing the support member 900 to rotate with the opening and closing of the door 600 and rotate below the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100, thereby switching between the support state and the storage state.

[0114] Furthermore, the drive assembly 810 includes a drive shaft 811 connected to the door body 600, and a drive wheel 812 disposed on the drive shaft 811. The drive shaft 811 is fixed relative to the door body 600, so that it rotates synchronously with the door body 600. The drive wheel 812 is specifically disposed at the lower part of the drive shaft 811 and is connected to the transmission assembly 820 located at the bottom.

[0115] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 811 coincides with the rotation axis of the door 600, that is, the drive shaft 811 is vertically arranged. The support end 902 of the support member 900 flips up and down at the bottom of the clothing processing device, thereby switching between the support position and the storage position. Therefore, the rotation axis of the support member 900 is horizontal and perpendicular to the drive shaft 811.

[0116] Based on this, the transmission assembly 820 needs to convert the rotational motion of the drive wheel 812 into the power to drive the support member 900 to rotate around an axis perpendicular to the drive shaft 811. In other words, the transmission of the transmission assembly 820 needs to realize the reversal of rotational motion.

[0117] In one specific structure, the rotation axes of the drive shaft 811 and the support member 900 are parallel to the front sidewall 101 of the housing 100. The connecting end 901 of the support member 900 is installed on the bottom wall 102 near the front sidewall 101. The support member 900 is flipped backward, so that the support end 902 switches from the supporting position to the storage position.

[0118] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 820 includes a first transmission wheel 821 meshing with the drive wheel 812, and a second transmission wheel 825 connected to the support member 900. The first transmission wheel 821 and the second transmission wheel 825 are connected in a transmission manner, thereby driving the support member 900 to rotate through the rotation of the drive wheel 812. The rotation axis of the first transmission wheel 821 is perpendicular to the drive shaft 811, thus realizing the reversal of the rotational motion.

[0119] In one specific implementation, both the drive wheel 812 and the first transmission wheel 821 are bevel gears, which can convert the vertical rotational motion of the drive wheel 812 into horizontal rotational motion.

[0120] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 820 includes a third transmission wheel 824, which is coaxially arranged with the first transmission wheel 821 and connected by a transmission shaft 823, so that the third transmission wheel 824 rotates synchronously with the first transmission wheel 821. The second transmission wheel 825 meshes with the third transmission wheel 824 and rotates under the drive of the third transmission wheel 824, thereby driving the support member 900 to rotate.

[0121] Specifically, in the above scheme, both the second transmission wheel 825 and the third transmission wheel 824 are cylindrical gears. The first transmission wheel 821 and the third transmission wheel 824 are both located inside the housing 100, and the second transmission wheel 825 is located below the third transmission wheel 824. Its axis extends through the bottom wall 102 to the outside of the housing 100 and is connected to the support member 900.

[0122] In a further embodiment, to secure the transmission assembly 820, a support platform 826 is provided on the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100. The transmission shaft 823 is mounted on the support platform 826, with its two ends connected to a first transmission wheel 821 and a third transmission wheel 824, respectively. The second transmission wheel 825 is fixed relative to the connecting end 901 of the support member 900, and the connecting end 901 is confined within the pivot limiting part 120, thereby also fixing the position of the second transmission wheel 825.

[0123] As a specific structure, the drive shaft 823 is rotatably mounted on the support platform 826, with both ends protruding from the sides of the support platform 826, for connecting the first drive wheel 821 and the third drive wheel 824 respectively. The drive shaft 823 is provided with a bushing 822, which is fitted into the area near the first drive wheel 821. When assembled, the left end of the bushing 822 abuts against the first drive wheel 821, and the right end abuts against the side wall of the support platform 826.

[0124] In this way, the first transmission wheel 821 is axially limited by the drive wheel 812 and the bushing 822. Leftward movement is blocked by the drive wheel 812, and rightward movement is blocked by the bushing 822, ensuring efficient transmission between the drive wheel 812 and the first transmission wheel 821. At the same time, it avoids the problem of excessive friction caused by direct contact between the right side of the first transmission wheel 821 and the support platform 826.

[0125] In the preferred structure of this embodiment, the support platform 826 is fixed to the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100 by means of a snap fastener.

[0126] In this embodiment, the axes of the second transmission wheel 825 and the third transmission wheel 824 both extend horizontally and are disposed in the same vertical plane. The connecting end 901 of the support member 900 is connected to the axis of the second transmission wheel 825. See also Figure 4 and Figure 6 The connection end 901 of the drive shaft 811 and the support member 900 is basically on the same vertical plane, which is equivalent to providing support close to the rotation axis of the door 600. Since the tendency of the clothing handling equipment to tilt forward is mostly caused by the pressure on the door 600, the support member 900 is set at the above position, and the support effect is more reliable.

[0127] In a further embodiment, the support member 900 can be formed from a relatively thick metal sheet through processes such as stamping or bending. Specifically, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 The dotted lines in the diagram represent the bends. The metal sheet can be divided into two parts: the rolled section 910 and the supporting body 920. Figures 3 to 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the curled portion 910 is bent into a nearly cylindrical structure, serving as the connecting end 901 of the support member 900. The support body 920 is bent into an L-shape, thereby forming a vertical portion 921 and a support portion 922 at the bottom of the vertical portion 921. The bottom end of the vertical portion 921 is also the support end 902 of the support member 900.

[0128] In one specific embodiment, the lateral dimension of the curled portion 910 is larger than the lateral dimension of the support body 920, and the side view of the support member 900 after molding is as follows. Figure 8As shown. At this time, the two ends of the curled part 910 protrude from the vertical part 921 and can be inserted into the pivot limiting part 120 on the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100.

[0129] Furthermore, when the coiled part 910 is bent and formed, a certain opening is reserved at the bottom, and the cross-section of the second drive wheel 825 is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, a limiting protrusion 8252 is provided on the inner wall of the shaft hole 8251. During assembly, the end of the curled part 910 is inserted into the shaft hole 8251 of the second transmission wheel 825, and the limiting protrusion 8252 extends into the opening at the bottom of the curled part 910, thereby achieving circumferential limiting between the curled part 910 and the second transmission wheel 825, so that the rotation of the second transmission wheel 825 can drive the support member 900 to rotate.

[0130] As another specific implementation method, such as Figures 10 to 12 As shown, a pivot shaft 930 is inserted into the hollow structure of the curled portion 910 to connect the second transmission wheel 825. When this scheme is adopted, the lateral dimension of the curled portion 910 can be larger than the lateral dimension of the support body 920, or it can be the same as the lateral dimension of the support body 920, or even slightly smaller than the lateral dimension of the support body 920.

[0131] Specifically, similar to the previous embodiment, the bottom of the curled portion 910 is provided with an opening, and the side wall of the pivot shaft 930 is provided with a protrusion 931. The pivot shaft 930 is inserted into the curled portion 910, and the protrusion 931 extends out through the opening at the bottom of the curled portion 910, so that the pivot shaft 930 and the curled portion 910 cannot rotate relative to each other in the circumferential direction.

[0132] The cross-section of the second drive wheel 825 is as follows: Figure 12 As shown, a limiting groove 8253 is provided on the inner wall of the shaft hole 8251. In one specific structure, the end of the pivot shaft 930 is basically flush with the end of the coiled portion 910. The coiled portion 910 and the pivot shaft 930 are inserted together into the shaft hole 8251 of the second transmission wheel 825, and the protrusion 931 extends into the limiting groove 8253. The second transmission wheel 825 can then drive the support member 900 to rotate. In another specific structure, the end of the pivot shaft 930 protrudes from the end of the coiled portion 910. In this case, the part of the pivot shaft 930 protruding from the coiled portion 910 is inserted into the shaft hole 8251 of the second transmission wheel 825, and the protrusion 931 extends into the limiting groove 8253. Similarly, the rotation of the second transmission wheel 825 can drive the support member 900 to rotate synchronously.

[0133] In a further embodiment, one of the four gears—drive wheel 812, first transmission wheel 821, second transmission wheel 825, and third transmission wheel 824—has a transmission region and a free region that are staggered circumferentially. A toothed structure is disposed within the transmission region, while no toothed structure is disposed within the free region. That is, in two meshing gears, transmission from the driving gear to the driven gear can only occur when the transmission region of one gear contacts the other gear. If the contacting region is a free region without a toothed structure, the driven gear will not rotate with the driving gear.

[0134] It is understood that in the linkage mechanism 800 of this embodiment, the drive wheel 812 and the third transmission wheel 824 are driving gears, and the first transmission wheel 821 and the second transmission wheel 825 are the corresponding driven gears.

[0135] Using the above scheme, during the opening of the door 600, when the door 600 opens to a certain angle, causing the support end 902 of the support member 900 to rotate downwards to the support position, the gear with the transmission area and the free area just rotates from the transmission area to the free area. At this time, as the door 600 continues to rotate in the opening direction, since the two meshing gears can no longer transmit power, they will not drive the support member 900 to rotate further. This avoids the support end 902 from rising again due to excessive rotation of the support member 900, which would cause the support height to decrease.

[0136] As a preferred embodiment, in the two meshing gears, the driving gear has a transmission region and a free region that are staggered in the circumferential direction. Specifically, the drive wheel 812 or the third transmission wheel 824 has a transmission region and a free region that are staggered in the circumferential direction.

[0137] Because the drive gear has only a partially toothed structure, when the door 600 is closed, it can be controlled to close to a specific angle before continuing to rotate in the closing direction, thus driving the support member 900 to rotate upwards and reset. This avoids the risk of the clothing handling equipment tipping over even when the door 600 is still at a large opening angle and the support end 902 of the support member 900 has reached the storage position.

[0138] In a more preferred embodiment, the drive wheel 812 has transmission regions and free regions that are staggered along the circumference. When the transmission region of the drive wheel 812 contacts the first transmission wheel 821, the support member 900 can be rotated through the sequential transmission of the first transmission wheel 821, the third transmission wheel 824, and the second transmission wheel 825. When the drive wheel 812 rotates to the point where its free region corresponds to the first transmission wheel 821, it will not drive the first transmission wheel 821 to rotate. At this time, the first transmission wheel 821, the third transmission wheel 824, and the second transmission wheel 825 are all stationary.

[0139] Compared to structures that set transmission and free areas on other gears, setting the free area on the drive wheel 812 can minimize the number of idle gears and reduce wear and tear on the transmission assembly 820 when the support member 900 does not need to continue rotating with the door body 600.

[0140] In this embodiment, as a specific solution, the support member 900 needs to rotate 90° to switch from the retracted state to the supporting state. If the linkage mechanism 800 controls the support member 900 to rotate with the opening and closing action of the door 600, and the rotational angular velocity of the support member 900 and the door 600 are consistent, then when the opening angle of the door 600 reaches 90°, the support member 900 can reach an upright supporting state. At this time, if the opening angle of the door 600 continues to increase, it is not necessary to drive the support member 900 to rotate accordingly. In this structure, the transmission area on the drive wheel 812 only needs to have a circumferential coverage angle of 90°, and the other areas are free areas without toothed structures.

[0141] In a further embodiment, the total transmission ratio of the linkage mechanism 800 is less than 1. That is, when the door 600 drives the support member 900 to rotate through the linkage mechanism 800, the angle through which the support member 900 rotates is greater than the angle through which the door 600 rotates.

[0142] In this specific embodiment, when the support end 902 of the support member 900 switches from the storage position to the support position, the support member 900 needs to rotate 90°. By reasonably setting the total transmission ratio of the linkage mechanism 800 to be less than 1, the support end 902 can reach the support position when the door 600 rotates forward from the closed state to open less than 90°, thus preventing tipping.

[0143] Understandably, the center of gravity of the garment handling equipment shifts forward to the greatest extent when the door 600 opens to 90°. The support 900 can rotate to a fully upright supporting state before the door 600 opens to 90°, making the anti-tipping effect more reliable.

[0144] In one specific implementation, the diameter of the third transmission wheel 824 is larger than the diameter of the second transmission wheel 825, and correspondingly, the number of teeth on the third transmission wheel 824 is greater than the number of teeth on the second transmission wheel 825. Meanwhile, the number of teeth on the drive wheel 812 and the first transmission wheel 821 is the same, which makes the total transmission ratio less than 1.

[0145] In this embodiment, by setting the number of teeth of the drive wheel 812 and the first transmission wheel 821 to be the same, the transmission ratio between the drive wheel 812 and the first transmission wheel 821 is 1. At this time, the first transmission wheel 821 and the third transmission wheel 824 are coaxially arranged and rotate synchronously, and the transmission ratio between them is also 1. Therefore, the total transmission ratio of the linkage mechanism 800 is equal to the transmission ratio between the third transmission wheel 824 and the second transmission wheel 825. Since the number of teeth of the third transmission wheel 824 is greater than the number of teeth of the second transmission wheel 825, the transmission ratio between them is less than 1, and the total transmission ratio of the linkage mechanism 800 is also less than 1.

[0146] Under the above structure, when the door 600 performs the opening and closing action, if the transmission area of ​​the current drive wheel 812 is in contact with the first transmission wheel 821, then the rotational angular velocities of the door 600, drive wheel 812, first transmission wheel 821 and third transmission wheel 824 are all the same, while the rotational angular velocity of the second transmission wheel 825 is greater, and consequently the support member 900, which rotates synchronously with the second transmission wheel 825, also has a greater rotational angular velocity than the door 600.

[0147] As a specific solution, the support member 900 needs to rotate 90° to switch from the retracted state to the supported state. Correspondingly, when the opening angle of the door 600 is less than 90°, the support member 900 can achieve a fully upright supported state. At this time, further increasing the opening angle of the door 600 should not cause the support member 900 to continue rotating. Therefore, in the above solution, the circumferential coverage angle of the transmission area on the drive wheel 812 should be less than 90°. More specifically, if the total transmission ratio of the linkage mechanism 800 is i, then the coverage angle of the transmission area is 90° / i.

[0148] It should be noted that in the linkage mechanism 800 of this embodiment, the rotation of each gear ultimately drives only the weight of the support member 900, and the maximum torque transmitted is very small. Therefore, the aforementioned drive wheel 812, first transmission wheel 821, second transmission wheel 825, and third transmission wheel 824 can all be made of plastic, which is lightweight, easy to process, and low in cost.

[0149] In one specific embodiment, only one support member 900 is provided. Preferably, in the left-right direction, the support member 900 is located near the lower region of the drive shaft 811. Since the horizontal distance between the support member 900 and the drive shaft 811 significantly affects the length of the transmission shaft 823, placing the support member 900 as close as possible to the drive shaft 811 can prevent the transmission shaft 823 from becoming too long and reducing structural reliability. On the other hand, the connection position between the door 600 and the housing 100 is near the drive shaft 811. Placing the support member 900 near this connection position makes the effect of preventing the clothing handling equipment from tipping over more reliable when the door 600 is pressed and the clothing handling equipment tends to tilt forward.

[0150] In another specific embodiment, multiple support members 900 are provided along the extension direction of their rotation axis. Specifically, the multiple support members 900 are arranged in a horizontal direction parallel to the front sidewall 101 near the front sidewall 101, thereby providing multiple structures in the area near the front of the bottom of the housing 100 that can provide support when the clothing processing equipment tends to tilt forward, resulting in more stable support.

[0151] In order to enable multiple support members 900 to move synchronously with the door body 600, as a specific implementation, the transmission assembly 820 is provided with multiple sets of corresponding meshing second transmission wheels 825 and third transmission wheels 824. Each second transmission wheel 825 is connected to the support member 900 in a corresponding manner, so that each support member 900 can rotate synchronously.

[0152] In the specific structure, the drive shaft 823 is extended from the figure shown, and several third drive wheels 824 are spaced apart on the drive shaft 823. Each third drive wheel 824 rotates synchronously with the first drive wheel 821 at the left end of the drive shaft 823. A second drive wheel 825 meshes below each third drive wheel 824, and a support member 900 is connected through the second drive wheel 825, which can drive each support member 900 to rotate synchronously.

[0153] In another specific implementation, multiple support members 900 are connected in sequence at their connecting ends 901. The support member 900 closest to the transmission assembly 820 is connected to the second transmission wheel 825, so that the rotation of the second transmission wheel 825 can drive the multiple support members 900 to rotate synchronously.

[0154] In one specific structure, the connecting ends 901 of the multiple support members 900 can be integrally connected. For example, the multiple support members 900 are made from a single piece of metal sheet through processes such as cutting and bending.

[0155] In a further embodiment, the housing 100 of the garment processing equipment is provided with a hinge seat 700 for connecting the door 600. Specifically, the door 600 is rotatably mounted on the hinge seat 700 via a drive shaft 811.

[0156] The drive shaft 811 serves as part of the linkage mechanism 800 on one hand, and on the other hand, it is used to connect the door body 600 and the housing 100, which simplifies the structure.

[0157] As a specific structure, the hinge seat 700 is mounted on the outer periphery of the clothing loading / unloading opening on the front sidewall 101, and has a fixing piece 710 for assembly with the front sidewall 101. More specifically, the fixing piece 710 extends in an arc shape to adapt to the outer periphery shape of the clothing loading / unloading opening.

[0158] In one specific embodiment, a fixing hole 711 is provided on the fixing plate 710, and the fixing plate 710 is fixed to the front side wall 101 by passing a bolt through the fixing hole 711.

[0159] The fixing plate 710 is provided with a support plate 720 protruding forward, which is rotatably connected to the door body 600. Specifically, a support plate 720 is provided in the area near the upper and lower ends of the fixing plate 710, and the door frame 620 of the door body 600 is provided with clearance openings 621 at the corresponding positions to accommodate the support plate 720 during assembly.

[0160] More specifically, the support plate 720 at the lower end of the fixing plate 710 has a through hinge hole 722. A drive shaft 811 is rotatably inserted into the hinge hole 722. The upper end of the drive shaft 811 is connected to the door frame 620 of the door body 600, and the lower end is used to connect to the drive wheel 812. The support plate 720 at the upper end of the fixing plate 710 has an upwardly protruding hinge shaft 721 on its upper surface. A connecting hole (not shown in the figure) is provided in the clearance opening 621 at the upper part of the door frame 620, and the hinge shaft 721 is rotatably inserted into this connecting hole. Thus, through the combined action of the hinge shaft 721 and the drive shaft 811, the door body 600 is hingedly fixed.

[0161] In the detailed structure of this embodiment, the front sidewall 101 of the housing 100 is provided with a clearance recess 110 for accommodating the door body 600, and the hinge seat 700 is disposed in the clearance recess 110. The drive wheel 812 is disposed inside the housing 100, thereby contacting the first transmission wheel 821 for transmission. A through hole 111 is provided in the lower region of the clearance recess 110, and the drive shaft 811 extends into the housing 100 through the through hole 111 and is connected to the drive wheel 812.

[0162] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the linkage process between the door 600 and the support member 900 in this embodiment is described in detail.

[0163] When door 600 is in the closed state, see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the user opens the door, the door body 600 rotates forward, driving the drive shaft 811 and drive wheel 812 accordingly. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The three-dimensional ring arrow in the figure rotates, thereby driving the first transmission wheel 821 and the third transmission wheel 824 to rotate counterclockwise along the planar ring arrow in the figure. Correspondingly, the second transmission wheel 825 and the support member 900 connected to the second transmission wheel 825 rotate clockwise, causing the support end 902 of the support member 900 to rotate downwards and move closer to the ground.

[0164] Because the third transmission wheel 824 has more teeth than the second transmission wheel 825, it can drive the support member 900 to rotate 90° even when the door 600 opening angle is less than 90°, thus achieving an upright support state. Furthermore, since the drive wheel 812 is not a fully toothed gear, the free area on the drive wheel 812 without toothed structures rotates to above the first transmission wheel 821. As the opening angle of the door 600 continues to increase, the first transmission wheel 821 no longer rotates with the drive wheel 812, thus allowing the support member 900 to maintain an upright support state, ready to provide support when the clothing processing equipment tilts forward.

[0165] When the user closes door 600, see Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the door body 600 drives the drive shaft 811 and drive wheel 812 to follow. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The three-dimensional circular arrow in the figure rotates in the direction of rotation. In the initial stage, the transmission area with toothed structure on the drive wheel 812 has not yet rotated above the first transmission wheel 821, so the first transmission wheel 821 does not rotate with the drive wheel 812, and the support member 900 remains in an upright supporting state. When the remaining closing angle is not large, the transmission area of ​​the drive wheel 812 contacts the first transmission wheel 821, and the first transmission wheel 821 begins to rotate with the drive wheel 812, which in turn drives the third transmission wheel 824 to rotate clockwise in the direction of the planar circular arrow in the figure. Correspondingly, the second transmission wheel 825, and the support member 900 connected to the second transmission wheel 825, rotate counterclockwise, and the support end 902 of the support member 900 retracts upward. When the door 600 is fully closed, the support end 902 of the support member 900 also just rotates to the storage position. At this time, the support part 922 is inserted into the clearance hole 130 on the bottom wall 102 of the housing 100.

[0166] The garment processing device provided in this embodiment has a support member 900 located closer to the front edge of the housing 100 than the front foot 510. When the door 600 is opened, causing the center of gravity of the garment processing device to shift forward, the support member 900 provides support by contacting the ground, preventing the garment processing device from tipping over. This is especially beneficial for ultra-thin garment processing devices, improving user safety.

[0167] The support end 902 of the support component 900 can switch between a support position and a storage position. It moves to the support position only when the door 600 is open, and moves to the storage position when the door 600 is closed, without touching the ground at all. On the one hand, this avoids additional difficulties in the leveling operation during the installation of the garment processing equipment; on the other hand, it prevents the support component 900 from contacting the ground when it vibrates with the garment processing equipment during operation. In addition, since the support component 900 remains in the storage state most of the time and is not exposed, it also helps to maintain the aesthetics of the garment processing equipment.

[0168] By setting up a linkage mechanism 800, the opening and closing action of the door 600 can be linked to control the rotation of the support component 900, allowing the support end 902 to switch between the supporting position and the storage position. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment by the user, making it more convenient to use and preventing the support component 900 from malfunctioning due to user forgetting to adjust it, thus avoiding potential safety hazards. The linkage mechanism 800 adopts a purely mechanical structure, requiring no circuitry or program control logic, resulting in low cost and high reliability.
