[0038] The present application provides a box assembly. Figure 1-4 The housing comprises: a box body 1 , a bearing plate 13 , a reinforcement member 14 and a plurality of foot assemblies 16 .

[0039] Please refer to Figure 4 The box body 1 has first side walls 11 on two opposite sides along a first direction, and second side walls 12 on two opposite sides along a second direction.

[0040] It should be noted that when the first direction is the front-to-back direction, the first side wall 11 is the front side wall and the rear side wall, and the second direction is the left-to-right direction, and the second side wall 12 is the left side wall and the right side wall; when the first direction is the left-to-right direction, the first side wall 11 is the left side wall and the right side wall, and the second direction is the front-to-back direction, and the second side wall 12 is the front side wall and the rear side wall.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4The bottom end of the first side wall 11 is formed with a first flange 11a folded inwardly, and the bottom end of the second side wall 12 is formed with a second flange 12a folded inwardly. It can be understood that folding inwardly means folding toward the inside of the box body 1, and the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a are conducive to strengthening the structural strength and rigidity of the corresponding side wall.

[0042] The bearing plate 13 is arranged on one side of the first flange 11a and extends along the second direction, and both ends of the bearing plate 13 extend to the second flange 12a respectively. It can be understood that the bearing plate 13 has second flanges 12a on opposite sides of the extension direction, and the bearing plate 13 is connected to the first flange 11a and the second flanges 12a on opposite sides at the same time, so that the structural strength of the first flange 11a can be improved, the structural strength of the second flanges 12a on both sides of the first flange 11a along the second direction can be improved, and the structural strength and rigidity of the box assembly can be improved.

[0043] The reinforcement member 14 is disposed at the junction of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a, and is connected to the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a. It is understandable that the junction of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a at both ends of the load-bearing plate 13 is provided with the reinforcement member 14, and the reinforcement member 14 can improve the structural strength of the junction of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a, thereby improving the connection strength between the load-bearing plate 13 and the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 8 The foot assembly 16 includes a supporting portion 162, and the bearing plate 13 is sandwiched between the supporting portion 162 and the reinforcing member 14. In this way, the structural strength of the bearing plate 13 can be improved, the structural strength of the box body 1 can be strengthened, and the connection strength between the box body 1 and the foot assembly 16 can be improved. It should be noted that the bearing plate 13 is supported on the supporting portion 162, and the box body 1 and its load are transmitted to the supporting portion 162 through the bearing plate, so that the foot assembly 16 bears the weight of the entire machine.

[0045] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application provides a clothing processing device (not shown in the figure), including a barrel assembly (not shown in the figure), a plurality of shock absorbers (not shown in the figure) and a box assembly of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, wherein the bottom end of the shock absorber is connected to the supporting plate 13, and the top end of the shock absorber is connected to the barrel assembly.

[0046] It should be noted that the clothing processing equipment may be a washing machine, a dryer, a washer-dryer, etc.

[0047] In the related art, the foot assembly 16 is connected to the housing 1 through the supporting plate 13. The structural strength and rigidity of the housing 1 at the connection are insufficient, resulting in insufficient connection strength between the foot assembly 16 and the housing 1, causing greater vibration of the entire machine during operation of the clothing processing device.

[0048] The box assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application can improve the structural strength of the bearing plate 13 by clamping the bearing plate 13 between the reinforcement 14 and the supporting portion 162, thereby improving the structural strength and rigidity of the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12, and can also strengthen the connection strength between the base assembly 16 and the box 1, thereby reducing vibration during the operation of the clothing processing equipment.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the bearing plate 13 is arranged on the bottom side of the first flange 11a. When the bearing plate 13 is subjected to an upward reaction force exerted on it by the supporting portion 162, the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a both play a stopping and abutting role on the bearing plate 13, so that the bearing plate 13 has better force conditions and higher reliability. And / or, the reinforcement 14 is arranged on the top side of the junction of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a. In this way, the reinforcement 14 plays a role in strengthening the structural strength and rigidity of the junction of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a. In addition, it is also convenient to clamp the bearing plate 13 between the reinforcement 14 and the supporting portion 162, which is convenient for installation.

[0050] It should be noted that the above technical solutions include the following three types: the first type, the bearing plate 13 is arranged on the bottom side of the first flange 11a; the second type, the reinforcement 14 is arranged on the top side of the junction of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a; the third type, the bearing plate 13 is arranged on the bottom side of the first flange 11a, and the reinforcement 14 is arranged on the top side of the junction of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a.

[0051] In some embodiments, the foot assembly 16 is connected to the load-bearing plate 13 and / or the reinforcement member 14 .

[0052] It should be noted that the connection methods of the base assembly 16 include the following three methods: first, the base assembly 16 is connected to the supporting plate 13; second, the base assembly 16 is connected to the reinforcement 14; third, the base assembly 16 is connected to both the supporting plate 13 and the reinforcement 14.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7, the ends of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a are at least partially spaced apart and formed with an avoidance notch 1c, and the foot assembly 16 is inserted through the avoidance notch 1c. It can be understood that the avoidance notch 1c between the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a can reduce the possibility of collision damage to the flange during the installation of the box body 1. At the same time, when the foot assembly 16 is installed, the foot assembly 16 is located between the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a, and the force transmitted by the foot assembly 16 to the box body assembly can be evenly transmitted to the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a.

[0054] It should be noted that the connection method between the support plate 13 and the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a is not limited, and can be welding or other connection methods to achieve relative fixation of the support plate 13 and the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a.

[0055] In some embodiments, the bearing plate is riveted to the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a, for example, by pressure riveting or riveting. It is understandable that the installation and splicing are convenient, the production efficiency of the box assembly can be improved, and the riveting connection strength is reliable, which can improve the connection reliability between the bearing plate 13 and the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a, respectively, and reduce the risk of the bearing plate 13 falling off from the corresponding flange, thereby improving the connection reliability between the foot assembly 16 and the box 1 through the bearing plate 13.

[0056] It should be noted that the connection method between the reinforcement member 14 and the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a is not limited, and can be welding or other connection methods to achieve relative fixation of the reinforcement member 14 and the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The box assembly further includes a plurality of fixing members 15, a portion of which is disposed through the bearing plate 13, the first flange 11a and the reinforcement member 14, and another portion of the fixing members 15 is disposed through the bearing plate 13, the second flange 12a and the reinforcement member 14. It can be understood that at the junction of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a, the bearing plate 13 is located at the bottom side of the junction, the reinforcement member 14 is located at the top side of the junction, and at least a portion of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a is sandwiched between the bearing plate 13 and the reinforcement member 14, that is, when the plurality of fixing members 15 are disposed through the bearing plate 13 and the reinforcement member 14, a portion of the fixing members 15 will penetrate the first flange 11a, and another portion of the fixing members 15 will penetrate the second flange 12a. In this way, the fixing member 15 can be fixed to the first flange 11a or the second flange 12a while connecting the supporting plate 13 and the reinforcement member 14, thereby strengthening the connection relationship between the supporting plate 13, the reinforcement member 14 and the corresponding flanges of the box body 1, and further strengthening the connection strength between the base assembly 16 and the box body 1 through the central connection via the supporting plate 13 and / or the reinforcement member 14. At the same time, the reinforcement member 14 can also locally reinforce the supporting plate 13 to improve the structural strength of the supporting plate 13.

[0058] In this embodiment, the fixing member 15 may be a bolt, a screw or a rivet.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The reinforcing member 14 is provided with a threaded connection hole 14a1b, one end of a part of the fixing member 15 passes through the bearing plate 13 and the first flange 11a, and is screwed into the threaded connection hole 14a1b; one end of another part of the fixing member 15 passes through the bearing plate 13 and the second flange 12a, and is screwed into the threaded connection hole 14a1b. It can be understood that the fixing member 15 and the threaded connection hole 14a1b are threadedly connected to realize the detachable connection of the reinforcing member 14, which is convenient for installing or removing the reinforcing member 14, and convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The foot assembly 16 includes a connecting rod portion 161, and a supporting portion 162 is disposed on the periphery of the connecting rod portion 161. It can be understood that the connecting rod portion 161 can be connected to the bearing plate 13 and / or the reinforcement 14, which can improve the connection reliability between the foot assembly 16 and the bearing plate 13 and / or the reinforcement 14.

[0061] It should be noted that the specific connection method between the connecting rod portion 161 and the bearing plate 13 and / or the reinforcing member 14 is not limited.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5, the bearing plate 13 and / or the reinforcement member 14 have a connection hole 1b. It can be understood that the above technical solutions include the following three types: the first type, the bearing plate 13 has a connection hole 1b; the second type, the reinforcement member 14 has a connection hole 1b; the third type, the bearing plate 13 and the reinforcement member 14 both have a connection hole 1b.

[0063] It can be understood that the connecting rod portion 161 can be connected through the connecting hole 1b on the supporting plate 13 and / or the reinforcement 14, the connection between the connecting rod portion 161 and the connecting hole 1b is stable and reliable, the connecting rod portion 161 is fixed in the connecting hole 1b, and the connecting hole 1b can also provide protection for the connecting rod portion 161, reduce the risk of damage to the connecting rod portion 161, and improve the connection reliability between the base assembly 16 and the supporting plate 13 and / or the reinforcement 14.

[0064] Exemplarily, the connection hole 1b is a threaded hole. It is understandable that the threaded connection is stable and reliable, which can reduce the risk of the foot assembly 16 falling off from the load-bearing plate 13 and / or the reinforcement 14, and improve the connection reliability of the foot assembly 16 and the load-bearing plate 13 and / or the reinforcement 14.

[0065] In some embodiments, the connection hole 1b is provided on the bearing plate 13, and the connecting rod portion 161 is threadedly connected to the bearing plate 13. It is understandable that the bearing plate 13 is located at the bottom side of the flange and is connected to the flange, and the connecting rod portion 161 is directly threadedly connected to the bearing plate 13, which can realize the connection between the foot assembly 16 and the box body 1 without the need to open additional holes, and can simplify the processing process.

[0066] Exemplarily, the reinforcement 14 has a through hole 1a, and the top end of the connecting rod 161 is inserted into the through hole 1a. In this way, after the connecting rod 161 is threadedly connected with the bearing plate 13, the top end of the connecting rod 161 extends into the through hole 1a of the reinforcement 14, which can improve the connection stability between the foot assembly 16 and the box body 1. At the same time, the through hole 1a can protect the top end of the connecting rod 161, reducing the possibility of collision deformation of the connecting rod 161.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The bearing plate 13 has a through hole 1a, the connecting hole 1b is provided in the reinforcement member 14, and the connecting rod portion 161 is penetrated in the through hole 1a and is threadedly connected with the reinforcement member 14. In this way, the connecting rod portion 161 passes through the through hole 1a from the bottom side and is threadedly connected with the connecting hole 1b, and the part of the connecting rod portion 161 extending out of the through hole 1a enters the connecting hole 1b for locking, which can reduce the interference of the connecting rod portion 161 with the components in the box body 1. At the same time, penetrating the through hole 1a also facilitates the positioning of the connecting rod portion 161 and the connecting hole 1b, thereby improving the installation accuracy.

[0068] In other embodiments, both the bearing plate 13 and the reinforcement member 14 have a connection hole 1b. Thus, the connecting rod 161 is inserted into the connection hole 1b and can be threadedly connected to the bearing plate 13 and the reinforcement member 14 at the same time, further improving the connection strength between the foot assembly 16 and the box body 1.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the reinforcement member 14 is in a plate shape, which is conducive to the stacking arrangement of the reinforcement member 14 and the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a, and the structure is more compact.

[0070] In some embodiments, the thickness of the reinforcement member 14 is greater than the thickness of the bearing plate 13. In this way, the reinforcement effect of the reinforcement member 14 on the junction of the first flange 11a and the second flange 12a can be improved, thereby improving the connection strength between the foot assembly 16 and the box assembly.

[0071] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.

[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations.
