Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing processing equipment, and specifically provides a door and clothing processing equipment having the door. Background Technology

[0002] Existing garment handling equipment (such as single-tub or multi-tub washing machines, dryers, washer-dryer combos, etc.) generally adopts a design with a circular transparent window on the outer side of the door. In order to prevent clothes from getting into the door gap, the door usually has a protruding structure such as a glass bowl. This type of protruding structure is mainly clamped between two interlocking ring frames by pressing and is fixed by buckles or sealing rings.

[0003] However, the shape adaptability of the above-mentioned door is poor. When the door needs to adopt a non-circular shape, the protruding structure such as the glass bowl and the ring frame are difficult to form a stable fit due to the geometric mismatch, resulting in uneven force on the edge during installation, and even causing the glass bowl to loosen, shift or break due to local stress concentration. In addition, the fixation of the above-mentioned door requires additional double-layer ring frame and sealing components, resulting in high structural redundancy.

Detailed Implementation

[0059] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific applications.

[0060] It should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" 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 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 according to the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0061] To address the issue that existing garment processing equipment doors cannot adapt to various shape designs while maintaining structural stability, this invention provides a garment processing equipment door. First, a brief introduction to the door of this invention will be given.

[0062] like Figure 1As shown, the door 1 of the garment processing device of the present invention includes an inner cover plate 11, an outer cover plate 13, and a first protruding structure 12. The inner cover plate 11 has a mounting opening 111. The outer periphery of the first protruding structure 12 has a mounting edge 121, which extends from the mounting opening 111 to the outside of the inner cover plate 11. The mounting edge 121 is located inside the inner cover plate 11 and outside the mounting opening 111. The outer cover plate 13 has a second protruding structure 131, which presses against the mounting edge 121. The outer cover plate 13 covers the inner cover plate 11. It can be understood that the direction of the inner cover plate 11 near the outer cover plate 13 is the inner direction of the inner cover plate 11, and the direction away from the outer cover plate 13 is the outer direction of the inner cover plate 11. The direction of the outer cover plate 13 near the inner cover plate 11 is the inner direction of the outer cover plate 13, and the direction away from the inner cover plate 11 is the outer direction of the outer cover plate 13.

[0063] After the inner cover plate 11 and the outer cover plate 13 are closed, the second protruding structure 131 of the outer cover plate 13 can directly press against the mounting edge 121 around the mounting opening 111. This not only generates a clamping force perpendicular to the mounting edge 121, but also, since the second protruding structure 131 is not a ring frame and its protruding end has a solid surface, it can simultaneously apply a lateral constraint force, improving the clamping effect. This invention eliminates the nesting dependence of traditional double-layer ring frames, so that the fixing of the first protruding structure 12 is not limited by the geometric constraints of a specific shaped frame. This ensures the structural stability of the circular, square, or other complex shaped door body 1, and automatically completes the positioning through the direct pressing of the inner cover plate 11 and the outer cover plate 13, ensuring that the first protruding structure 12 is clamped. This replaces redundant and complex processes and components, making assembly very simple.

[0064] The specific embodiments of the door body 1 of the present invention are described below.

[0065] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, both the outer cover plate 13 and the inner cover plate 11 of the present invention are quadrilaterals, such as squares or rectangles. It is understood that the aforementioned quadrilaterals refer to the door body 1, the outer cover plate 13, and the inner cover plate 11 being quadrilaterals when viewed from the front. Both the inner cover plate 11 and the outer cover plate 13 may have inwardly bent edges (the bent edges are also the side surfaces of the inner cover plate 11 and the outer cover plate 13). The outer wall surface of the outer cover plate 13 has a circular groove 132, which protrudes towards the inner wall surface of the outer cover plate 13 to form a cylindrical second protruding structure 131 on the inner wall surface. The first protruding structure 12 is configured as a glass groove, and the mounting edge 121 is configured as a folded edge that folds outward from the opening of the glass groove. After the glass groove passes through the mounting opening 111 and extends to the outside of the inner cover plate 11, the mounting edge 121 of the glass groove directly presses against the entire circumference of the mounting opening 111. The second protruding structure 131 may have an annular edge 1311, through which the second protruding structure 131 can be pressed onto the mounting edge 121. The mounting opening 111 may be circular, in which case the mounting edge 121 may be an annular structure.

[0066] The outer wall of the outer cover plate 13 forms a groove 132, and the inner wall forms a second protruding structure 131. This design allows the inner wall to naturally form a protruding structure that matches the mounting edge 121, enabling the integrated pressure-bearing surface to be completed in a single processing step. This not only enhances the overall bending resistance of the outer cover plate 13, but also ensures that the contact surface between the outer cover plate 13 and the mounting edge 121 forms a uniform circumferential press, completely eliminating the instability problem caused by assembly gaps.

[0067] Possibly, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The inner cover plate 11 also has an annular limiting rib 112 on its inner side. The limiting rib 112 can be a plate-like structure or a column-like structure, etc. The mounting edge 121 and the second protruding structure 131 are disposed in the annular limiting rib 112, thereby further restricting the first protruding structure 12 from moving radially. The mounting edge 121 can abut against the limiting rib 112 or have a gap. A limiting groove 1121 is formed on the inner annular wall of the limiting rib 112, and a limiting protrusion 1211 is formed on the side of the mounting edge 121. The limiting protrusion 1211 is disposed in the limiting groove 1121, thereby restricting the first protruding structure 12 from moving circumferentially. Therefore, the above arrangement can restrict the movement of the first protruding structure 12 in the axial, radial and circumferential directions, so that it is stably installed in the door body 1. The present invention does not limit the number of limiting protrusions 1211 and limiting grooves 1121, and the number can be one or more. Taking a quantity of two as an example, the two limiting grooves 1121 can be set on opposite sides of the limiting rib 112. Furthermore, the limiting protrusions 1211 can be fixed to the inner cover plate 11 by connecting structures such as bolts or buckles 115. Of course, these connecting structures can also be omitted.

[0068] Possibly, the inner cover plate 11 may also have a second reinforcing rib 114 on its inner side. The two ends of the second reinforcing rib 114 are connected to the limiting rib 112 and the side of the inner cover plate 11, respectively, either integrally formed or connected by bonding, snap-fitting, or other methods. This not only strengthens the structure of the inner cover plate 11 but also prevents deformation of the limiting rib 112. Furthermore, referring to… Figure 4 The inner wall of the outer cover plate 13 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 133. The two ends of the first reinforcing rib 133 are respectively connected to the side of the second protruding structure 131 and the side of the outer cover plate 13, such as by integral molding or by bonding, snap-fitting or other means. This not only strengthens the structure of the outer cover plate 13, but also prevents the second protruding structure 131 from deforming.

[0069] Possibly, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6An outer cover plate 13 and an inner cover plate 11 form a mounting cavity 16. A reinforcing member 15 is provided in the mounting cavity 16. The outer cover plate 13 can be pressed onto the reinforcing member 15. The reinforcing member 15 has a hinge mounting portion 152 for mounting a hinge. The reinforcing member 15 has a first side and a second side opposite each other in the width direction (width direction of the door body 1) of the inner cover plate 11. The first side is close to the edge of the inner cover plate 11, and the second side is away from the edge of the inner cover plate 11. The hinge mounting portion 152 is located on the first side of the reinforcing member 15. The number of hinge mounting portions 152 can be one or more, and the hinge mounting portions 152 can be spaced apart on the reinforcing member 15. The reinforcing member 15 can be a sheet metal part, a plastic part, or a carbon fiber composite material part, etc., and can be fixed to the inner cover plate 11 by one or more bolts and / or fasteners. The reinforcing member 15 can have a groove with the groove opening facing the inner cover plate 11, and a grid-like reinforcing rib is provided inside the groove. However, this is not a limitation. The reinforcing member 15 can also be a solid structure, etc. These adjustments do not deviate from the principle of the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0070] Due to its circular shape, the circular door 1 has relatively limited hinge layout options, resulting in a limited number of hinge installation positions. In contrast, the quadrilateral door 1 of this invention provides more selectable hinge installation points and allows for a larger hinge spacing. This helps to distribute the forces exerted on the door 1 during opening and closing, making the opening and closing of the door 1 more stable.

[0071] Possibly, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The inner cover plate 11 has a notch 113, and the hinge mounting portion 152 is opposite to the notch 113, which is used to accommodate the hinge. The reinforcing member 15 may have a clearance groove for accommodating the hinge, and the hinge mounting portion 152 may be configured as a mounting hole formed in the clearance groove. The hinge passes through the notch 113 and the clearance groove and is rotatably mounted in the mounting hole. It should be noted that the reinforcing member 15 may also not have a clearance groove; in this case, the hinge mounting portion 152 may be provided on the surface of the reinforcing member 15 near the inner cover plate 11. Furthermore, it should be noted that the specific form of the hinge mounting portion 152 can be adjusted according to the structure of the hinge, such as the hinge mounting portion 152 being configured as a shaft, the hinge having a shaft hole, and the shaft being rotatably disposed in the shaft hole. These adjustments do not deviate from the principles of the present invention and are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0072] Possibly, the reinforcing member 15 has a guide groove 153 on the second side, and a portion of the side surface of the second protruding structure 131 is located in the guide groove 153. The shape of the guide groove 153 is the same as the side surface shape of the second protruding structure 131 located within the guide groove 153. Since the second protruding structure 131 is a cylindrical structure, the side surface of the second protruding structure 131 located within the guide groove 153 is arc-shaped, and the guide groove 153 is an arc-shaped groove. Further, referring to... Figure 2 and Figure 6 The reinforcing member 15 has an extending edge 151, which is sandwiched between the limiting rib 112 and the second protruding structure 131 and pressed against the mounting edge 121. To accommodate the shapes of the second protruding structure 131 and the annular limiting rib 112, the extending edge 151 is also arc-shaped. Possibly, the extending edge 151 is an arc-shaped groove, which facilitates manufacturing. However, this is not a limitation; the extending edge 151 can also be provided at other locations on the reinforcing member 15, such as at a position outside the guide groove 153. These adjustments do not deviate from the principles of the present invention and are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0073] Guided by the guide groove 153, the second protruding structure 131 can be precisely pressed onto the mounting edge 121 in the limiting rib 112, eliminating local stress concentration at the edge caused by assembly misalignment. The extended edge 151 can serve as a transition interface between the reinforcing member 15 and the limiting rib 112, filling the assembly gap between the second protruding structure 131 and the limiting rib 112, improving structural stability, and avoiding vibration and noise caused by the gap; and through the rigid support characteristics of the reinforcing member 15, the pressure applied when the outer cover plate 13 is closed is converted into a continuous linear clamping force on the mounting edge 121, so that the edge of the mounting edge 121 is firmly pressed, realizing the stability of the irregular door body 1 and the cylindrical second protruding structure 131.

[0074] Furthermore, the reinforcing member 15 of the present invention integrates several key functions, such as hinge installation, guiding the second protruding structure 131, and pressing the first protruding structure 12, into one unit. This significantly improves the structural stability of the door body 1 while greatly reducing the space occupied within the door body 1. It eliminates the need for a large amount of space to accommodate multiple parts, thus leaving ample space for the layout of other functional modules within the door body 1. This not only simplifies the structure of the door body 1 and reduces the number of parts and assembly steps, but also lowers production and maintenance costs.

[0075] Possibly, a handle structure 17 is formed on one side of the inner cover plate 11 in the width direction of the door body 1. Specifically, the handle structure 17 can be located on the side of the inner cover plate 11 opposite to the hinge. The handle structure 17 can be formed by a recess from the outer side of the inner cover plate 11. The number of handle structures 17 can be one or more. The handle structures 17 can be spaced apart, and a door lock can be installed in the portion of the inner cover plate 11 between the handle structures 17.

[0076] The present invention does not limit the method of closing the inner cover plate 11 and the outer cover plate 13, as long as a fixed connection between the inner cover plate 11 and the outer cover plate 13 can be achieved. For example, the inner cover plate 11 and the outer cover plate 13 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​assembly and / or by bolts, etc. Specifically, multiple snaps 115 can be provided along each side of the inner side of the inner cover plate 11, and multiple slots 134 can be provided along each side of the inner side of the outer cover plate 13, with each snap 115 corresponding to and engaging with each slot 134. It should be noted that the positions of one or all of the snaps 115 and slots 134 described above can be interchanged. For example, the inner cover plate 11 can only have snaps 115 along one side, and slots 134 can be provided at the corresponding positions on the other sides; the outer cover plate 13 can only have slots 134 along one side, and snaps 115 can be provided at the corresponding positions on the other sides, etc. Each side can also have only one set of snap-fit ​​assemblies. As long as the inner cover plate 11 and the outer cover plate 13 can be closed, these adjustments do not deviate from the principle of the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the inner cover plate 11 is also provided with a positioning groove, and the outer cover plate 13 is provided with a positioning protrusion for positioning and installation.

[0077] Possibly, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A decorative panel 14 is provided on the outer wall of the outer cover plate 13. The shape of the decorative panel 14 matches that of the outer cover plate 13. After the front of the outer cover plate 13 is covered, the decorative panel 14 can also be bent inward to cover the side of the outer cover plate 13. The decorative panel 14 can be made of plastic or sheet metal, etc., to eliminate the traditional window function, reduce the complexity of the door structure design and installation, and improve impact resistance. However, this is not a limitation; the decorative panel 14 can also be a transparent window. After the decorative panel 14 is installed, a cavity is formed between the decorative panel 14 and the groove 132 on the outer wall of the outer cover plate 13. In multi-tube garment processing equipment where space is extremely limited, this cavity can play a significant role. For example, it can serve as space for installing components, etc.

[0078] The specific embodiments of the garment processing device of the present invention are described below.

[0079] like Figure 8As shown, the garment processing device of the present invention includes a housing and a first drum 2, a second drum 3, and a third drum 4 disposed within the housing. The first drum 2 and the second drum 3 are arranged side by side in the width direction of the housing, and the third drum 4 is located below the first drum 2 and the second drum 3. The volume of the first drum 2 and the volume of the second drum 3 are both smaller than the volume of the third drum 4. The first drum 2, the second drum 3, and the third drum 4 can all be washing drums, and each can have a rotatable inner drum inside. The first drum 2 and the second drum 3 can be used to wash small items of clothing, such as underwear, socks, etc. The third drum 4 can be used to wash ordinary clothing, such as shirts, trousers, or bed sheets, etc.

[0080] The front panel 5 of the casing has a first clothing inlet and a second clothing inlet arranged along its width. The first clothing inlet is sealed to the opening of the first cylinder 2, for example, through a window gasket. The second clothing inlet is sealed to the opening of the second cylinder 3, for example, through a window gasket. The front panel 5 also has a third clothing inlet located below the first and second clothing inlets, which is sealed to the opening of the third cylinder 4, for example, through a window gasket. Both the first and second clothing inlets are covered with the aforementioned door 1. One door 1 is connected to the front panel 5 by a hinge to open and close the first clothing inlet, and the other door 1 is connected to the front panel 5 by a hinge to open and close the second clothing inlet. The door 1 at the first clothing inlet and the door 1 at the second clothing inlet can be symmetrically distributed. Because the door 1 is symmetrically distributed and the door 1 is a square door, it adapts to the shape of the casing of the clothing processing equipment. The door 1 can be flush, leaving no gaps on the front panel 5 and making the equipment more concise. In addition, a circular door that can be opened and closed can be installed at the third clothing delivery port. The present invention does not limit the structure of the door at this location.

[0081] Possibly, such as Figure 7 As shown, the front panel 5 includes a first panel 51 and a second panel 52. The first panel 51 is located above the second panel 52, and the second panel 52 is recessed inward relative to the first panel 51. The first garment inlet, the second garment inlet, and the door 1 above them are disposed on the second panel 52. A screen 6 is provided on the first panel 51 above each door 1. Since the door 1 is thicker than the screen 6, the present invention recesses the second panel 52 inward relative to the first panel 51 and places the door 1 on the second panel 52, while placing the screen 6 on the first panel 51, so that the door 1 and the screen 6 can be flush, thus making the device more concise. In addition, the screen 6 is placed above the three cylinders, which is usually a position that is easy for the user to touch, thereby facilitating the operation of the screen 6.

[0082] Screen 6 can be used for both display and control. Specifically, screen 6 is a touchscreen, providing an interactive interface for the user. For example, the screen 6 above the first drum 2 allows selection of various washing modes for the first drum 2, and can also display the washing process of the first drum 2, such as each stage from washing, rinsing to spin-drying, as well as information such as remaining time and current working status. The screen 6 above the second drum 3 allows selection of various washing modes for the second drum 3, and can also display the washing process of the second drum 3, such as each stage from washing, rinsing to spin-drying, as well as information such as remaining time and current working status. This allows the washing processes of both the first drum 2 and the second drum 3 to be displayed simultaneously, facilitating real-time monitoring of the machine's operating status by the user.

[0083] If the first drum (2), second drum (3), and third drum (4) share a single detergent dispenser, screen 6 can also display the remaining detergent level in the dispenser. Furthermore, the user can switch to the control page for the third drum (4) from the interface on screen 6 above the first drum (2) or second drum (3). During the operation of the third drum (4), screen 6 will also display its washing progress, including the status of each stage and the estimated remaining time, enabling control and status monitoring of the multi-drum washing machine.

[0084] Possibly, refer to Figures 7 to 9 An opening 511 is provided between the two screens 6, and a detergent dispensing structure 7 that can be opened and closed is installed in the opening 511. The placement of the detergent dispensing structure 7 here not only facilitates the user's dispensing of detergent but also makes full use of the space between the two screens 6, resulting in a more rational spatial layout of the device. Possibly, the detergent dispensing structure 7 has a flap rotatably connected to the front plate 5, used to open and close the opening 511, and a flexible guide channel located inside the front plate 5 and passing through the opening 511 and connected to the flap. The outer wall of the flexible guide channel can be fixed to the opening. The guide channel is connected to the detergent storage box via a dispensing pipe, and the detergent storage box is connected to the first cylinder 2, the second cylinder 3, and the third cylinder 4 via pipes. When the flap is opened, the guide channel is open, allowing the user to dispense detergent into the guide channel. The detergent is then delivered to the detergent storage box via the dispensing pipe, and from there dispensed into at least one of the first cylinder 2, the second cylinder 3, or the third cylinder 4. When the flap is closed, the guide channel is squeezed and blocked from the inlet of the dispensing pipe, preventing the detergent from drying out due to contact with air. The flap can be flush with the two screens 6 and the door 1 to improve the simplicity of the equipment and prevent dust accumulation in empty spaces.

[0085] It should be noted that the specific form of the detergent dispensing structure 7 described above is not fixed. For example, the detergent dispensing structure 7 may be configured as a dispensing box that can be pulled out of the opening 511, including a housing and a dispensing slot formed within the housing, the dispensing slot being directly connected to the first cylinder 2, the second cylinder 3, and the third cylinder 4 via a pipe, etc. These adjustments do not deviate from the principles of the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0086] Possibly, the handle structure 17 of each door 1 is located on the side opposite to the other door 1 in the width direction, meaning the two doors 1 open opposite each other to avoid collision. An installation space is left between the doors 1, and a push plate structure 8 is provided in this space. The push plate structure 8 is rotatably connected to the front plate 5 and is used to conceal each handle structure 17. For example, the push plate structure may include a push plate and a hinge shaft. The push plate is rotatably connected to the front plate 5 via the hinge shaft, and a torsion spring can be fitted onto the hinge shaft to achieve rotational reset. When the push plate structure 8 is opened, the handle structures 17 of both doors 1 are exposed, allowing the user to open either door 1. When the push plate structure 8 is closed, each handle structure 17 can be concealed. This not only avoids leaving a gap at the front of the equipment, making the push plate structure 8 and the two doors 1 flush and the equipment more streamlined, but also prevents scratches.

[0087] It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely used to illustrate the principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0099] For example, as an alternative implementation, the limiting rib 112 can be omitted. In this case, the extension edge 151 is directly pressed onto the mounting edge 121 on the outside of the second protruding structure 131.

[0100] For example, as an alternative implementation, the second protruding structure 131 is a cuboid structure. In this case, the guide groove 153 can be a square groove. As long as the shape of the guide groove 153 is the same as the side shape of the second protruding structure 131 located within the guide groove 153, any adjustment to its specific form does not deviate from the principle of the present invention and is within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0101] For example, as an alternative implementation, the ring edge 1311 can be omitted.

[0102] For example, as an alternative implementation, the first cylinder 2, the second cylinder 3, and the third cylinder 4 can be single-cylinder structures.

[0103] For example, the garment processing device of the present invention may further include a drying drum 9, the volume of which is larger than the volume of the first drum 2 and the second drum 3. The drying drum 9 is positioned above the first drum 2 and the second drum 3, and the drying drum 9 dries the garment through a heat pump system. Of course, the drying drum 9 may be omitted.
