Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of clothing processing technology, specifically relating to a clothing processing device, and more particularly to a housing structure of a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] With social progress and technological development, people have increasingly higher demands for quality of life, and as a common household appliance, clothing processing equipment also faces increasingly higher requirements. Consequently, clothing processing equipment is becoming more comprehensive and diverse in function, and its size is decreasing. In particular, some application scenarios require convenient portability of the equipment, allowing it to be placed on different locations such as desktops or countertops for washing. For desktop clothing processing equipment, the casing structure needs to have good sealing properties to prevent water from flowing into the interior; especially, it is necessary to prevent water from flowing in at the seams of different components of the casing to prevent external water from dripping directly down the seams and coming into contact with the internal electrical components.

[0003] Therefore, how to prevent water from entering through the seams and dripping directly onto the internal electrical components has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0004] Therefore, this application is hereby submitted. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The first objective of this application is to provide a housing assembly for a garment processing device, which guides water flow outward from the seams of the housing assembly, thereby preventing external water from dripping directly down the seams and onto the internal electrical components. The second objective of this invention is to provide a housing assembly for a garment processing device, which ensures that all residual water inside the housing is discharged through a bottom residual water discharge structure, thereby effectively preventing the accumulation of residual water inside the housing.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0008] Furthermore, the housing assembly includes a base and multiple housing parts; the base forms the lower outer surface of the housing assembly, and the residual water drainage structure is disposed on the base; each housing part is spliced ​​and installed on the base, and each housing part and the base together form the outer surface of the clothing processing equipment, and a water guide channel is provided at the joint of adjacent housing parts, and the water guide channel is connected to the residual water drainage structure.

[0009] Furthermore, it includes a first housing component and a second housing component; the first housing component is a U-shaped structure, covering at least the upper side and left and right side surfaces of the garment processing device; the first housing component and the base are spliced ​​together to form an annular outer frame, the axis of the annular outer frame extends horizontally; the second housing component is respectively installed on the open sides of the opposite ends of the annular outer frame, and a water guide channel is provided at the joint between the first housing component and the second housing component, the end opening of the water guide channel is connected to the residual water drainage structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the first and second housing components are spliced ​​together to form the water guide channel;

[0011] Preferably, the splicing side of the second housing component is provided with an insertion groove that opens towards the first housing component, and the splicing side of the first housing component is provided with an insertion rib that protrudes towards the second housing component. The insertion rib is inserted into the insertion groove to splice the first housing component and the second housing component together. The insertion groove and the insertion rib together form the water guide channel.

[0012] Furthermore, the insertion groove is a strip-shaped groove that is recessed inward from the splicing side of the second housing component. The opening of the strip-shaped groove is opened towards the first housing component, and the strip-shaped groove extends along the outer peripheral side of the first housing component. The two ends of the strip-shaped groove are respectively located at the lowest points on the left and right sides of the first housing component, and are connected to the residual water drainage structure provided on the upper side of the base.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the outer periphery of the strip groove has a stepped surface that is radially recessed from the bottom of the groove to the opening, which increases the width of the opening of the strip groove to facilitate the insertion of the connector.

[0014] Furthermore, the insertion rib is a strip-shaped rib protruding outward from the splicing side of the first housing component; the cross-section of the strip-shaped rib is L-shaped, and the two parts of the L-shaped strip-shaped rib respectively abut against the inner peripheral sidewall and the bottom sidewall of the strip-shaped groove, which are used to form the water guide channel together with the L-shaped strip-shaped rib, the splicing side of the first housing component and the inner peripheral side of the second housing component.

[0015] Furthermore, the residual water drainage structure includes a residual water drainage trough; the residual water drainage trough is located at the lowest point of the base, and the bottom of the residual water drainage trough is provided with a residual water drainage port that communicates with the outside, for collecting and draining residual water in the housing assembly; preferably, the left and right sides of the base are respectively inclined surfaces and / or curved surfaces that slope downward from the outer periphery to the center, and the residual water drainage trough is located at the lowest point of the inclined surfaces and / or curved surfaces on the left and right sides.

[0016] Furthermore, the lowest point of the base is provided with a downwardly recessed recess forming a residual water trough, the bottom surface of which protrudes downward from the base, so that the outer side of the recess forms a support protrusion that supports the clothing processing equipment.

[0017] Furthermore, the second housing component is correspondingly fastened to the front side of the base; the front side of the base is provided with a water-guiding baffle protruding towards the second housing component, and the water-guiding baffle is interlocked with the lower part of the outer periphery of the second housing component to cover the seam between the second housing and the base; the water-guiding baffle is located below the openings at both ends of the water-guiding channel to guide the water flowing out of the water-guiding channel to flow towards the residual water trough on the base; preferably, the outer periphery of the end of the water-guiding baffle is an inclined surface that gradually narrows inward in the extending direction to guide the second housing component to be relatively fastened to the front side of the base.

[0018] This application also provides a garment processing device having any of the housing components described above.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, this application has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0020] By incorporating water guide channels at the seams of the garment processing equipment's casing, all water entering through these channels flows directly to the residual water drainage structure. This prevents water from flowing randomly through the seams and coming into contact with internal electrical components. In particular, it effectively prevents water from falling freely within the casing and coming into contact with other electrical components below the seams. Furthermore, this design ensures that all water entering through the seams is drained through the residual water drainage structure, effectively preventing water accumulation inside the casing.

[0021] Meanwhile, by setting a residual water drain at the lowest point of the base and designing the base as a curved surface that bends downwards from the opposite sides toward the center, residual water flowing down the inner wall of the housing assembly to the base can converge and flow toward the center via the curved surface of the base, and flow into the residual water drain at the lowest point of the base. Finally, it flows out of the housing assembly through the residual water drain outlet at the lowest point of the drain. This achieves smooth drainage of water generated on the inner wall of the housing assembly due to condensation and other effects, thus preventing water accumulation inside the housing and significantly improving the waterproof performance of the electrical components inside the garment processing equipment.

[0022] Meanwhile, this application has a simple structure, significant effects, and is suitable for widespread use.

[0043] It should be noted that these figures and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of this application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application 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 this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0045] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application 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 limitations on this application.

[0046] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] This application describes a garment processing device, a small device placed on a tabletop, typically used for washing and processing small garments. During use, the device may need to be moved or repositioned. Furthermore, during operation, the outer wall of the garment processing device's housing may be splashed with water or other liquids. This splashed water can easily enter the housing through the seams, necessitating water guidance to prevent dripping and potential contact with electrical components within the housing, leading to malfunctions. Therefore, this application proposes a housing assembly for a garment processing device to overcome these technical problems.

[0048] This application embodiment describes a garment processing device, comprising: a tub assembly for processing garments inside the tub assembly using water and a garment processing agent; the axis of the tub assembly is horizontal, or the tub opening extends slightly upward; for ease of description, the side facing the tub opening of the tub assembly is referred to as the front side; based on the aforementioned front side orientation, the front side of the housing assembly 700 is provided with an opening that matches the tub opening of the tub assembly, and a door 500 corresponding to the opening is installed on the front side of the housing assembly 700; as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the discussion will be carried out using the other corresponding sides after the garment processing equipment is placed on the installation surface as examples, namely the rear side, the top side, the bottom side, the left side, and the right side.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown in this application, the garment processing equipment includes: a base 703, a frame assembly 400, and a shell assembly 700. The frame assembly 400 is spliced ​​onto the base 703, and the frame assembly 400 and the base 703 together form the support frame of the garment processing equipment. The shell assembly 700 covers the outside of the frame assembly 400 and is installed on the base 703, together with the base 703 forming the outer surface of the garment processing equipment. Through the above arrangement, both the shell assembly 700 and the frame assembly 400 are spliced ​​and assembled based on the base 703, so that the inner and outer shell assemblies 700 and 400 of the garment processing equipment are built and installed based on a single component, thereby avoiding uneven seams during the installation of the garment processing equipment's shell assembly 700 and frame assembly 400.

[0050] In this application, the base 703 is located at the bottom of the garment processing equipment, forming both the lower side plate of the frame component 400 of the garment processing equipment and the lower outer surface of the outer shell component, so that the same component can both support the structure of the garment processing equipment and provide an outer surface for the garment processing equipment.

[0051] In this application, the housing assembly 700 includes one or more housing components, each housing component forming at least one side of the garment processing device's exterior surface; the housing components are spliced ​​together to cover the outside of the frame assembly 400; each housing component is fixedly connected to the frame assembly 400 and / or the base 703. Optionally, the housing component is a plate structure corresponding to at least one side of the garment processing device, and the plate structure constituting the housing component does not have any hollow parts, so that the various housing components, after being spliced ​​and assembled, form a whole exterior surface, effectively preventing the entry or exit of the housing assembly 700, thereby achieving the effect of effectively protecting the various components of the garment processing device inside the housing assembly 700.

[0052] The splicing methods between different support components, between support components and bases, between bases and exterior components, and between different exterior components can adopt existing structures for splicing and assembling different plates. For example, a horizontal folded edge is provided on the lower side of the support component, and the folded edge overlaps and fits with the base, so that the support component and the base can be spliced ​​and assembled together, and the overlap is fixed and connected by bolts to realize the splicing and assembly between the support component and the base; another example is that different shell components are connected by a plug-in structure, so that different shell components can be spliced ​​and connected by a plug-in structure, etc.

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, in order to solve the problems of how to guide water flow at the seams of the outer shell components and prevent it from dripping directly downwards onto the internal electrical components of the shell, the specific technical solution adopted can be as follows:

[0054] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a housing assembly 700 of a garment processing device is introduced, which includes multiple components that are spliced ​​together to form the outer surface of the garment processing device; a water guide channel 704 is provided at the splice seam of adjacent components, and the water guide channel 704 is connected to a residual water drainage structure 705 provided on the housing assembly 700, for guiding the residual water at the splice seam of the housing assembly 700 to flow along the water guide channel 704 to the residual water drainage structure 705 and discharged externally. By setting a water guide channel 704 at the seam of the garment processing equipment, all water entering through the seam flows along the water guide channel 704 to the residual water drainage structure 705, thus preventing water from flowing randomly through the seam and causing contact with electrical components inside the shell. In particular, it effectively prevents water from falling freely inside the shell and causing contact with other electrical components below the seam. Furthermore, through the above arrangement, all water entering through the seam is discharged through the residual water drainage structure 705, effectively preventing water accumulation inside the shell.

[0055] In this embodiment, the housing assembly 700 includes a base 703 and multiple housing components. The base 703 forms the lower outer surface 716 of the housing assembly 700, and the residual water drainage structure 705 is disposed on the base 703. Each housing component is spliced ​​and installed on the base 703, and each housing component and the base 703 together form the outer surface of the garment processing device. A water guide channel 704 is provided at the seam of adjacent housing components, and the water guide channel 704 is connected to the residual water drainage structure 705. Through the above arrangement, the water entering through the seams of the housing assembly 700 is drawn by gravity and flows down to the base 703 along the water guide channel 704, achieving the effect that all the water entering through the seams is discharged out through the residual water drainage structure 705 on the base 703.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 17As shown in the embodiment of this application, the specific solution adopted by the housing assembly 700 can be as follows: The housing assembly 700 includes a first housing member 701 and a second housing member 702; the first housing member 701 has a U-shaped structure, covering at least the upper side and left and right side of the clothing processing device, forming the upper outer appearance 711, left outer appearance 714 and right outer appearance 715 of the clothing processing device; the first housing member 701 and the base 703 are spliced ​​together to form an annular outer frame, and the axis of the annular outer frame extends horizontally; the second housing member 702 is installed on the opposite two open sides of the annular outer frame to form the front outer appearance 712 and rear outer appearance 713 of the clothing processing device respectively; the base 703 constitutes the lower outer appearance 716 of the clothing processing device; a water guide channel 704 is provided at the joint between the first housing member 701 and the second housing member 702, and the end opening 743 of the water guide channel 704 is connected to the residual water drainage structure 705.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first housing member 701 and the second housing member 702 are spliced ​​together to form the water guiding channel 704. The specific structure of the water guiding channel 704 can also be any existing structure; for example, the water guiding channel 704 can be a channel integrated onto the first housing member 701 or the second housing member 702. For ease of description, this embodiment uses the following specific structure as an example: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second housing component 702 and the first housing component 701 are respectively provided with corresponding overlapping splicing sides facing each other. The splicing side of the second housing component 702 is provided with an insertion groove 741 that is open towards the first housing component 701. The splicing side of the first housing component 701 is provided with an insertion rib 742 that protrudes towards the second housing component 702. The insertion rib 742 is inserted into the insertion groove 741 to splice the first housing component 701 and the second housing component 702 together. The insertion groove 741 and the insertion rib 742 together form the water guide channel 704. The splicing sides of the second housing component 702 and the first housing component 701 have splicing gaps. Splashed water and other water from the outside of the housing assembly 700 will flow into the water guide channel 704 along the splicing gaps. The flowing water will flow downward along the water guide channel 704 until it enters the residual water drainage structure 705 on the base 703 and is discharged outward.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 11As shown in this embodiment, the insertion groove 741 is a strip-shaped groove recessed inward from the splicing side of the second housing member 702. The groove opening faces the first housing member 701, and the strip-shaped groove extends along the outer peripheral side of the first housing member 701. The two ends of the strip-shaped groove are respectively located at the lowest points on the left and right sides of the first housing member 701, and are connected to the residual water drainage structure 705 provided on the upper side of the base 703. Preferably, the inner wall of the outer peripheral side of the strip-shaped groove has a stepped surface that is radially recessed outward from the bottom of the groove to the opening, which is used to increase the width of the groove opening of the strip-shaped groove so as to facilitate the insertion of the insertion rib 742.

[0059] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in this embodiment, the insertion rib 742 is a strip-shaped rib protruding outward from the splicing side of the first housing member 701; the cross-section of the strip-shaped rib is L-shaped, and the L-shaped strip-shaped rib and the splicing side of the first housing member together form an outwardly open groove. The groove is covered by the outer periphery of the second housing member 702, so that the L-shaped strip-shaped rib, the splicing side of the first housing member 701, and the second housing member 702 together form the water guiding channel 704. Further, the L-shaped strip-shaped rib provided on the first housing member is inserted into the strip-shaped groove provided on the outer periphery of the second housing member. The two parts of the L-shaped strip-shaped rib respectively abut against the inner peripheral sidewall and the bottom sidewall of the groove, which are used to form the water guiding channel 704 together with the L-shaped strip-shaped rib, the splicing side of the first housing member 701, and the outer peripheral sidewall of the groove.

[0060] Of course, the inner peripheral sidewall of the strip groove can be partially provided on the second housing 702, which can also achieve the effect of relative insertion and installation between the insertion rib 742 and the insertion groove 741; or, the inner peripheral sidewall of the strip groove can be not provided on the second housing 702, and the effect of staggered insertion and installation can be achieved by only using the relative abutment between the outer peripheral sidewall of the insertion rib 742 and the insertion groove 741.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 17As shown in the embodiment of this application, the residual water drainage structure 705 includes a residual water drainage trough 751; the residual water drainage trough 751 is disposed at the lowest point of the base 703, and the bottom of the residual water drainage trough 751 is provided with a residual water drainage port 752 communicating with the outside, for collecting residual water in the housing assembly 700 and draining it outward; optionally, the left and right sides of the base 703 are respectively inclined surfaces and / or curved surfaces that slope downward from the outer periphery to the center, and the residual water drainage trough 751 is disposed at the lowest point of the inclined surfaces and / or curved surfaces on the left and right sides. Specifically, the base 703 has a first curved side 732 and a second curved side 733 on its left and right sides, respectively, which curve downwards and toward the center. The joint between the first housing member 701 and the second housing member 702 is U-shaped to form a U-shaped water guide channel 704 extending along the joint. The two ends of the U-shaped water guide channel 704 have openings 743 facing downwards and located at the first curved side 732 and the second curved side 733, respectively, so that all the water flowing out of the two ends of the water guide channel 704 enters the upper side of the base 703, and then flows along the first curved side 732 and the second curved side 733 of the base 703 to the residual water trough 751 in the middle of the base 703.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a residual water drain trough 751 is provided at the lowest point of the base 703, and the base 703 is configured as a curved surface that bends downward from the opposite sides toward the center. This allows residual water flowing downward along the inner wall of the housing assembly 700 to the base 703 to converge and flow toward the center via the curved surface of the base 703, and then flow into the residual water drain trough 751 at the lowest point of the center of the base 703. Finally, the residual water flows out of the housing assembly 700 through the residual water drain outlet 752 at the lowest point of the residual water drain trough 751. This achieves smooth drainage of water generated on the inner wall of the housing assembly 700 due to condensation and other effects, thus preventing water accumulation inside the housing and significantly improving the waterproof performance of the electrical components inside the clothing processing equipment.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the lowest point of the base 703 is provided with a downwardly recessed portion forming a residual water trough 751. The bottom surface of the residual water trough 751 protrudes downward from the base 703, so that the outer side of the above-mentioned recess forms a support protrusion 731 for supporting the clothing processing equipment.

[0064] In this embodiment, the second housing component 702 is correspondingly fastened to the front side of the base 703; the front side of the base 703 is provided with a water-guiding baffle 753 protruding towards the second housing component 702, and the water-guiding baffle 753 is interlocked with the lower part of the outer periphery of the second housing component 702 to cover the seam between the second housing component 702 and the base 703; the water-guiding baffle 753 at least covers the first curved side 732 and the second curved side 733 of the base 703, so that all the water flowing downward from the openings 743 at both ends of the U-shaped water channel 704 is guided by the water-guiding baffle 753 to flow towards the middle of the base 703 and flows into the residual water drain 751 provided on the base 703; the water-guiding baffle 753 is located below the openings 743 at both ends of the water channel 704 and is used to guide the water flowing out of the water channel 704 towards the residual water drain 751 on the base 703.

[0065] Optionally, a residual water drain trough 751 is provided on each of the left and right sides and the front and rear sides of the base 703. Each residual water drain trough 751 is respectively connected to the opening 743 of the corresponding U-shaped water guide channel 704, and the water flows out of the housing assembly 700 through the residual water drain outlet 752 provided at the bottom of each residual water drain trough 751.

[0066] Optionally, the outer periphery of the end of the water guide rib 753 is a slope that gradually narrows inward in the extending direction, which is used to guide the second housing part 702 to be relatively fastened to the front side of the base 703.

[0067] Furthermore, the clothing processing device in this embodiment is installed on a desktop and needs to be moved frequently. Therefore, the shell structure of the clothing processing device needs to have high support strength. The frame structure composed of horizontal and vertical beams used in existing clothing processing devices is not suitable for desktop clothing processing devices. Also, since the clothing processing device is placed on the desktop and is directly observed by the user, it needs to have a good aesthetic appearance, especially the seams of the shell need to be uniform and aesthetically pleasing. The existing clothing processing device box is composed of a frame structure and a shell structure, and uses beams set at the edges to reinforce the overall shell. However, this is not suitable for the small box structure of desktop clothing processing devices. In particular, the box structure in the above solutions all fix the shell to the beams on opposite sides. Different beams are used as the installation reference between different components of the shell, which can easily lead to gaps in the fit after the different parts of the shell are installed.

[0068] Because the housing components are installed on different beams, installation errors can occur between the seams of the housing components, which greatly limits the overall aesthetics of the garment processing equipment. Therefore, this application proposes a housing component and a frame component for a garment processing equipment to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0069] In this application, the base 703 is located at the bottom of the garment processing equipment, which constitutes both the lower side plate of the frame component 400 of the garment processing equipment and the lower outer surface of the outer shell component, so that the same component can both support the structure of the garment processing equipment and provide an outer surface for the garment processing equipment.

[0070] In this application, the frame assembly 400 includes one or more support members; each support member is spliced ​​and assembled into a ring frame, the ring frame is vertically oriented, and the lower side of the ring frame is spliced ​​and installed on the base 703; at least one of the support members is spliced ​​and fixed to the base 703; optionally, the support member is a plate structure corresponding to at least one side of the garment processing equipment to enhance the support strength of the support member; at the same time, in order to reduce the overall weight of the garment processing equipment, a hollow part can be provided in the middle of the plate structure constituting the support member, so that each support member is composed of a plate structure with a hollowed-out middle part.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 17As shown, in this embodiment of the application, at least one of the housing components constitutes the appearance of at least two adjacent sides of the garment processing device; at least one of the support components corresponds to at least two adjacent sides of the garment processing device; at least one group of housing components and support components partially overlap, so that the overlapping portion jointly corresponds to the same side of the garment processing device, and the non-overlapping portion corresponds to different sides of the garment processing device. Optionally, a housing component and a support component constitute a group, the housing components of the group constitute the appearance of at least two adjacent sides of the garment processing device, the support components of the group correspond to at least two adjacent sides of the garment processing device, and the appearance of at least one side formed by the housing component and the at least one side corresponding to the support component are the same side, so that at least one side of the garment processing device is respectively formed by the support component and housing component of this group, and the other portions of the support component and housing component of this group correspond to other different sides of the garment processing device; for example, the upper side of the garment processing device is formed by the same group of housing components and support components, and the housing components of this group also constitute the left appearance of the garment processing device, and the support components of this group are also provided on the right side of the garment processing device. Through the above-described configuration, the housing assembly 700 and frame assembly 400 of the garment processing equipment are assembled in a cross-arrangement manner, achieving a significant technological advancement in improving the overall structural strength of the garment processing equipment. In particular, the cross-arrangement of components between the inner and outer double-layer structures of the garment processing equipment greatly enhances its overall structural strength, thereby significantly improving its impact resistance.

[0072] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the frame assembly 400 includes a first support member 401 and a second support member 402; the first support member 401 and the second support member 402 are spliced ​​together to form a ring frame, the ring frame is vertically oriented, and the ring frame is supported on the base 703; the lower side of the first support member 401 and / or the second support member 402 is spliced ​​and connected to the base 703. Optionally, the lower side of the first support member 401 and the upper side of the base 703 are at least partially overlapping, and the overlapping part is fixedly connected by screws, so that the first support member 401 and the base 703 are spliced ​​and fixed; at the same time, the front side edges of the opposite U-shaped sides of the first support member 401 overlap with the left and right sides of the second support member 402 respectively, and the overlapping parts are fixedly connected by screws, so that the first support member 401 and the second support member 402 are spliced ​​and fixed, and the second support member 402 is assembled on the base 703 via the first support member 401. Of course, other assembly methods can also be used, such as splicing and fixing the first support 401 and the second support 402 to the base 703 respectively, which will not be discussed again here.

[0073] In the implementation of this application, the specific plan is as follows: Figures 1 to 17 As shown, the first support member 401 is a U-shaped support member covering three adjacent vertical sides of the garment processing device, and the lower side of the first support member 401 is spliced ​​and connected to the base 703; the second support member 402 is located on the U-shaped opening side of the first support member 401, and the second support member 402 is spliced ​​and connected to the end sides of the opposite two sides of the first support member 401 to form a ring frame. That is, the first support member 401 constitutes the left side plate 422, the rear side plate 421, and the right side plate 423 of the frame assembly 400, the second support member 402 constitutes the front side plate 420 of the frame assembly 400, and the base 703 constitutes the lower side plate of the frame assembly 400. Furthermore, to enhance the structural strength of the frame assembly 400 and provide support connections at the top, upper crossbeams 440 and reinforcing beams 430 arranged in a crisscross pattern can be provided on the upper side of the frame structure. For example, the two ends of the reinforcing beams 430 extending in the front-rear direction are connected to the rear side plate 421 of the first support member 401 and the second support member 402, respectively, and the two ends of the upper crossbeams 440 extending in the left-right direction are connected to the left side plate 422 and the right side plate 423 of the first support member 401, respectively. Of course, one or more upper crossbeams 440 and reinforcing beams 430 can be provided.

[0074] In this application, the housing component includes a first housing component 701; the first housing component 701 forms the exterior surfaces of multiple adjacent sides of the garment processing device; the first housing component 701 and the first support component 401 are arranged in an alternating manner, allowing for partial overlap between the first housing component 701 and the first support component 401, with the overlapping portion corresponding to at least one side of the garment processing device and the non-overlapping portions corresponding to different sides of the garment processing device. Through this arrangement, at least a portion of the first housing component 701 and the first support component 401 overlap and at least a portion intersect, achieving an alternating arrangement of the seams of the housing assembly 700 and the frame assembly 400, thereby significantly improving the robustness of the inner and outer double-layer housing structure of the garment processing device.

[0075] In the implementation of this application, the specific plan is as follows: Figures 1 to 17As shown, the first housing component 701 is a U-shaped housing component that forms the exterior surfaces of three adjacent sides of the garment processing device. The first housing component 701 is spliced ​​with the base 703 to form an annular exterior structure, and the axial direction of the annular exterior structure is horizontal. The housing component also includes a second housing component 702. The two sides of the opposite opening of the annular exterior structure are respectively provided with a second housing component 702 that only covers the corresponding side. Each second housing component 702 is spliced ​​with the opposite side of the base 703 and the first housing component 701, and each second housing component 702 is connected to at least one of the base 703, the frame assembly 400, and the first housing component 701.

[0076] In this application, the U-shaped opposite sides of the first housing component 701 and the first support component 401 are respectively arranged to overlap; the U-shaped connecting sides of the first housing component 701 and the first support component 401 are staggered, so that the opposite sides of the two U-shaped first housing components 701 and the first support component 401 are respectively arranged to overlap, thereby increasing the degree of seam overlap between the housing assembly 700 and the frame assembly 400, so as to achieve a significant technical advancement in further improving the strength of the inner and outer double-layer housing structure of the garment processing equipment.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 17 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the clothing processing equipment has a block-shaped body, and the base 703 constitutes the lower outer surface 716 of the block-shaped body; the first housing component 701 corresponds to the upper side and left and right side surfaces of the block-shaped body, constituting the upper outer surface 711, left outer surface 714, and right outer surface 715 of the housing assembly 700; second housing components 702 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the block-shaped body, the front second housing component 702 is fixedly connected to the second support component 402 and / or the base 703, constituting the front outer surface 712 of the outer shell assembly; the rear second housing component 702 is fixedly connected to the first support component 401 and / or the base 703, constituting the rear outer surface 713 of the outer shell assembly; of course, the front and / or rear second housing components 702 can also be fixedly connected to the first housing component 701, which can also achieve the purpose of splicing and fixing the second housing component 702. Furthermore, the first support member 401 corresponds to the rear side and left and right side of the block-shaped body, and the second support member 402 is correspondingly provided on the front side of the block-shaped body. The second support member 402 is fixedly connected to the first support member 401, so that the first shell member 701 and the first support member 401, which are respectively U-shaped, are staggered, thereby making the seams of the shell assembly 700 and the frame assembly 400 staggered and improving the overall structural strength of the garment processing equipment.

[0078] like Figures 1 to 17As shown, in a further embodiment, the bottom of two opposite side plates of the frame assembly 400 is provided with a first bent portion 451 that bends inward and extends downward at an incline. The frame assembly 400 is supported as a whole on the base 703 of the housing assembly 700, and the outer wall of the first bent portion 451 is in contact with the base 703.

[0079] In one specific embodiment, a first bending portion 451 is provided at the bottom of the left side plate 422 and the right side plate 423 of the frame assembly 400, respectively.

[0080] The first bend 451 helps to strengthen the structural strength of the side plate of the frame assembly 400, thereby improving the structural stability of the frame assembly 400 and providing more reliable support for the internal cylindrical module. On the other hand, the first bend 451 is in direct contact with the base 703, which increases the contact area compared to a structure that contacts the base 703 through the edge of the side plate, and can disperse the contact pressure between the frame assembly 400 and the base 703.

[0081] In one specific embodiment, the base 703 forms the lower outer surface 716 of the garment processing device. The left and right sides of the base 703 have curved sides that bend from top to bottom towards the center, that is, the left and right sides of the lower outer surface 716 are curved surface structures that bend from top to bottom towards the center. The first bending portion 451 is disposed on the inner side of the curved side and is connected to the base 703.

[0082] Two of the opposing side panels of the frame assembly 400 have a first bend 451 that slopes downward and narrows at the bottom, which can better fit the curved sides of the base 703.

[0083] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first bent portion 451 is provided with a protruding or recessed mounting fitting portion 4512, which is connected to the base 703 of the housing assembly 700 through the mounting fitting portion 4512.

[0084] Specifically, the first bent portion 451 is supported on the internal structure of the bent side of the base 703, wherein the mounting fitting portion 4512 is in contact with and supported by the internal structure of the bent side. Multiple mounting fitting portions 4512 are provided at intervals along the setting direction of the first bent portion 451, that is, in the front-to-back direction.

[0085] In the above scheme, the first bent portions 451 on both sides of the frame assembly 400 cooperate with the bent sides on both sides of the base 703, which can limit the frame assembly 400 in the left and right directions. Multiple mounting and fitting portions 4512 are provided at intervals in the front and back directions, and an alternating concave and convex structure is formed on the first bent portions 451 in the front and back directions, thereby limiting the frame assembly 400 in the front and back directions.

[0086] In one specific embodiment, the mounting mating portion 4512 is formed by a partial upward protrusion of the first bent portion 451, and the top surface of the protrusion of the mounting mating portion 4512 is a horizontal surface. Correspondingly, a groove is formed on the outer side of the first bent portion 451 at the position of the mounting mating portion 4512.

[0087] The base 703 is provided with a screw post 7031, and a connecting hole is provided in the area of ​​the mounting mating part 4512. The top of the screw post 7031 contacts and supports the outer wall of the first bent part 451 at the position of the mounting mating part 4512. The screw passes through the connecting hole and is screwed into the screw post 7031 on the base 703, thereby fixing the first bent part 451 to the base 703.

[0088] By adopting the above solution, the frame component 400 can better fit with the base 703, resulting in a more stable structure after installation and fixation. At the same time, this structure also facilitates the assembly of the frame component 400 onto the base 703 via hoisting.

[0089] In one detailed structure, the base 703 is square in the horizontal direction, and each of the four corners of the square base 703 is provided with a downwardly protruding support protrusion 731 for supporting the garment processing equipment. The support protrusion 731 forms a recessed structure on the inner side of the base 703, and the screw post 7031 is located within the range of the recessed structure.

[0090] The screw post 7031 has radial reinforcing ribs on its sidewalls to enhance its structural strength. In a preferred configuration, when the frame assembly 400 and the base 703 are assembled, the outer periphery of the radial reinforcing ribs abuts against the groove formed on the outside of the first bend 451 in the mounting mating part 4512, providing support and preventing deformation of the mounting mating part 4512.

[0091] Furthermore, a damper bracket 480 for mounting the vibration damping support assembly is provided on the first bend 451. The damper bracket 480 and the first bend 451 can also reinforce each other, further improving the structural stability of the frame assembly 400.

[0092] Preferably, the base 703 has support ribs 7032 with inclined tops inside the curved sides on both the left and right sides, and the first bent portion 451 is supported on the support ribs 7032. Specifically, the support ribs 7032 are arranged in the area on the first bent portion 451 for mounting the shock absorber bracket 480, to avoid insufficient strength in this area after drilling holes for mounting the shock absorber bracket 480, which would be insufficient to support the shock absorber bracket 480.

[0093] In a further embodiment, the bottom of the rear panel 421 has a second bend 452 that bends inward, and the rear end of the first bend 451 covers the outside of the second bend 452.

[0094] The second bend 452 enhances the structural strength of the rear side plate 421. Furthermore, by partially wrapping the second bend 452 with the first bend 451, the connection strength between the left side plate 422, the right side plate 423, and the rear side plate 421 is enhanced, making the connection structure more stable and less prone to deformation.

[0095] Preferably, the first bend 451 and the second bend 452 are connected in the overlapping area by a connector, for example, by screws. This further enhances the connection strength between the first bend 451 and the second bend 452.

[0096] In one specific structure, the bottom edge of the rear panel 421 extends horizontally as a whole, with an upward slope at both ends. Thus, the second bend 452 can form an inclined structure at both ends that matches the first bend 451, thereby better fitting the inner surface of the first bend 451.

[0097] More specifically, the second bend 452 is a double-bend structure, which better reinforces the structure of the rear side plate 421 itself. Specifically, the first bend at the bottom of the rear side plate 421 has an angle of less than 90°, forming a downwardly extending structure. Then it is bent again, so that the sum of the two bend angles is approximately 90°, which can achieve a close fit with the inner surface of the first bend 451.

[0098] In a further embodiment, the lower end of the first bending portion 451 is provided with a third bending portion 453 extending into the frame assembly 400, and the third bending portion 453 and the first bending portion 451 are at a certain bending angle.

[0099] Specifically, the third bend 453 extends horizontally and forms an angle greater than 90° with the first bend 451.

[0100] In the above scheme, the bottom of the left side plate 422 / right side plate 423 is bent twice to form a first bend 451 and a third bend 453 with a certain angle, which makes the structural strength of the left side plate 422 / right side plate 423 greater and the structure more stable.

[0101] On the other hand, the third bend 453 extends horizontally, so that its rear end can also fit against the second bend 452 at the bottom of the rear side panel 421, covering the outside of the second bend 452. By connecting the third bend 453 to the second bend 452 with a connector, the connection strength between the left side panel 422 / right side panel 423 and the rear side panel 421 can be further enhanced.

[0102] In one specific embodiment, screws are used to fix the third bend 453 and the second bend 452 sequentially from the bottom.

[0103] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the area on the third bend 453 that does not overlap with the second bend 452 is provided with at least one through hole, and the base 703 is provided with a positioning protrusion corresponding to the through hole. During assembly, the positioning protrusion is first inserted into the through hole on the third bend 453 to achieve pre-positioning of the frame assembly 400, and then screws are installed at the connecting hole of the first bend 451 to fix the frame assembly 400 on the base 703.

[0104] In a further embodiment, the front end of the first bending portion 451 is bent upward to form a first mounting portion 4611, which is connected to the second support member 402.

[0105] Furthermore, the front end of the third bend 453 is flush with the front end of the first bend 451, and the front ends of the first bend 451 and the third bend 453 bend upward together to form the first mounting part 4611.

[0106] In one specific structure, the width of the front region of the third bend 453 is smaller than the width of its middle and rear regions.

[0107] In this embodiment, the second support member 402 covers the outside of the first mounting portion 4611 and is fixed by a connector. In a detailed embodiment, the first support member 401 and the second support member 402 can be fixed by screws passing sequentially through the second support member 402 and the first mounting portion 4611 from the outside.

[0108] In the specific embodiment, the bottom edge of the second support member 402 is inclined in the left and right sides, so as to match the shape of the first bent part 451.

[0109] The lowest point of the second support member 402 is not lower than the lowest point of the first bend 451. The third bend 453 is horizontally positioned and flush with the lowest point of the first bend 451. Thus, the lowest point of the first bend 451 is also the lowest point of the overall structure of the frame assembly 400, and there will be no interference with other structures of the frame assembly 400 when the first bend 451 is assembled with the base 703.

[0110] The garment processing equipment provided in this embodiment has a first bending portion 451 at the bottom of the frame assembly 400, which strengthens its own structure and improves the connection stability with the base 703, making the overall structure of the machine more stable and reliable. The overlapping and fixing structure of the first bending portion 451 and the second bending portion 452 can enhance the structural stability of the first support member 401.

[0111] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application in any way. Although this application has disclosed the preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-mentioned technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this application. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can be further combined or replaced.
