[0040] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , this embodiment provides a clothing processing device.

[0041] Specifically, the clothes treating device may be a washing machine.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clothes processing device includes an outer drum 1 , a door seal 2 and a fastening assembly 3 .

[0043] The door seal 2 includes a fixed portion 21 and a replaceable portion 22. The first end of the fixed portion 21 is sleeved with the mounting protrusion 11. The first end of the replaceable portion 22 is detachably sleeved with the mounting protrusion 11. The first end of the fixed portion 21 and the first end of the replaceable portion 22 are overlapped and connected.

[0044] The fastening assembly 3 is detachably connected to the mounting protrusion 11 , and the overlapping portion of the fixed portion 21 and the replaceable portion 22 is locked on the outer tube 1 by the fastening assembly 3 .

[0045] The first end of the fixed part 21 is overlapped with the first end of the replaceable part 22 and the two are locked on the outer tube 1 by the fastening assembly 3. Such an arrangement ensures the sealing performance of the connection between the replaceable part 22 and the fixed part 21.

[0046] In this embodiment, a mounting protrusion 11 is provided on the outer tube 1, the first end of the fixed portion 21 is sleeved on the mounting protrusion 11, and the first end of the replaceable portion 22 is also sleeved on the mounting protrusion 11; at the same time, the overlapping part of the fixed portion 21 and the replaceable portion 22 is locked on the outer tube by the fastening assembly 3.

[0047] During the operation of the clothing processing device, even if the replaceable part 22 is pulled or subjected to a large vibration, the first end of the replaceable part 22 is always stably mounted on the mounting protrusion 11 to prevent the replaceable part 22 from being separated from the fixed part 21, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the clothing processing device.

[0048] When the door seal 2 is moldy, the fastening assembly 3 is disassembled, and the moldy replaceable part 22 is removed; then a new replaceable part 22 is installed on the outer tube 1 through the fastening assembly 3, and the new replaceable part 22 is connected to the fixing part 21 to ensure the performance of the door seal 2.

[0049] Furthermore, the clothes treating device further includes a front plate (not shown in the figure).

[0050] The replaceable part 22 includes a fastening ring 222 and a replaceable part body 221 .

[0051] The fastening ring 222 is detachably sleeved on the mounting protrusion 11 , and the fastening ring 222 is overlapped and connected with the first end of the fixing part 21 , and the overlapping part of the fastening ring 222 and the replaceable part 22 is locked on the outer tube 1 by the fastening assembly 3 .

[0052] The fastening ring 222 is disposed at one end of the replaceable part body 221 , and a sealing lip 223 is disposed at the other end of the replaceable part body 221 . The replaceable part body 221 is connected to the front plate, and the sealing lip 223 is exposed relative to the front plate.

[0053] When the door of the clothes processing device is in a closed state, the door presses the sealing lip 223 to achieve a sealing effect.

[0054] In the clothing processing device provided in this embodiment, the door seal 2 includes a fixed part 21 and a replaceable part 22; the fixed part 21 is fixedly arranged on the outer drum 1, and the replaceable part body 221 of the replaceable part 22 is connected to the front plate. In actual use, the replaceable part 22 connected to the front plate is in contact with the inner drum of the clothing processing device. Since the environment inside the inner drum is humid, the replaceable part 22 may generally become moldy.

[0055] One end of the replaceable part 22 is detachably connected to the mounting protrusion 11 through the fastening assembly 3; when the replaceable part 22 is found to be moldy, the fastening assembly 3 is removed, and then the moldy replaceable part 22 is replaced from the mounting protrusion 11, and a new replaceable part 22 is installed on the mounting protrusion 11 through the fastening assembly 3. The new replaceable part 22 is connected to the fixed part to ensure the performance of the door seal 2.

[0056] The fastening assembly 3 installs the replaceable part 22 on the mounting protrusion 11 to prevent the replaceable part 22 from shifting during operation of the clothing processing device, or even the replaceable part 22 from being separated from the mounting position, resulting in the failure of the waterproof sealing performance of the door seal 2 after the replaceable part 22 is separated from the fixed part 21.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, the outer cylinder 1 includes an outer cylinder front flange 12. The mounting protrusion 11 is integrally formed on the outer cylinder front flange 12 of the outer cylinder 1.

[0058] Specifically, the material of the replaceable part 22 is an elastic material, so that the replaceable part 22 can be detachably sleeved on the mounting protrusion 11. The material of the fixing part 21 is an elastic material. Optionally, the elastic material is rubber.

[0059] Specifically, the fixed part 21 is provided with first openings corresponding to the mounting protrusions 11 one by one, and each first opening of the fixed part 21 passes through its corresponding mounting protrusion 11 and is tightly fitted on the front flange 12 of the outer cylinder; after the replaceable part 22 is installed in place, a circle of the replaceable part 22 close to the fixed part 21 is overlapped and pressed with a circle of the fixed part 21 close to the replaceable part 22, thereby ensuring the waterproof sealing performance of the door seal 2.

[0060] The replaceable part 22 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting protrusion 11. Since the replaceable part 22 is made of elastic material, a second opening corresponding to the mounting protrusion 11 is provided on the replaceable part 22, and the diameter of the second opening is smaller than the diameter of the mounting protrusion 11.

[0061] More preferably, see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the fastening assembly 3 includes a fastener 31, and the fastener 31 includes a threaded connection portion 311. A clamping flange 312 is provided at one end of the threaded connection portion 311.

[0062] Correspondingly, see Figure 3 The mounting protrusion 11 is provided with an internal threaded hole 112 which is threadedly connected to the threaded connection part 311 .

[0063] After the threaded connection part 311 is threadedly connected to the mounting protrusion 11, the pressing flange 312 is pressed against the side of the replaceable part 22 away from the outer drum 1 to prevent the replaceable part 22 from shifting during the operation of the clothing processing device.

[0064] Further, see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the fastening assembly 3 further includes a pressing ring 32 , which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting protrusion 11 and clamped between the pressing flange 312 and the replaceable part 22 .

[0065] The provision of the pressing ring 32 , on the one hand, makes the crimping between the replaceable part 22 and the fixed part 21 tighter, and on the other hand, can also prevent the compression flange 312 from damaging the replaceable part 22 during the process of screwing the fastener 31 .

[0066] Specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the free end of the mounting protrusion 11 is provided with an anti-slip portion 111 , and the anti-slip portion 111 abuts against the replaceable portion 22 .

[0067] An anti-slip portion 111 is provided at the free end of the mounting protrusion 11 . When the replaceable part 22 is initially mounted on the mounting protrusion 11 , the anti-slip portion 111 abuts against the replaceable part 22 , thereby pre-tightening the replaceable part 22 .

[0068] Optionally, along the circumference of the free end of the mounting protrusion 11, a plurality of anti-slip portions 111 are provided at intervals at the free end of the mounting protrusion 11. Exemplarily, the number of the anti-slip portions 111 can be two, which can both fully pre-tighten and prevent slippage, and avoid the difficulty of installing the replaceable part 22.

[0069] Furthermore, in order to enable the replaceable part 22 to be quickly fitted onto the mounting protrusion 11 , a side surface of the anti-detachment part 111 is provided with an avoidance slope 1111 .

[0070] Preferably, in this embodiment, the pressure ring 32 is provided with an avoidance groove 321 cooperating with the anti-detachment portion 111 to ensure that the pressure ring 32 can be tightly pressed on the replaceable portion 22 .

[0071] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the installation process of the door seal 2 is as follows:

[0072] Each first opening of the fixing portion 21 passes through its corresponding mounting protrusion 11 and is tightly sleeved on the front flange 12 of the outer tube;

[0073] Each second opening of the replaceable part passes through its corresponding mounting protrusion 11;

[0074] The fastening assembly 3 is mounted on each mounting protrusion 11 .

[0075] When the front plate of the clothes processing device and the outer drum front flange 12 are installed in place, the replaceable part 22 is connected to the front plate and at least a part of the replaceable part 22 is exposed relative to the front plate.

[0076] Exemplarily, the operation when the replaceable part 22 needs to be replaced is as follows:

[0077] Remove the front panel;

[0078] Remove the fastening assembly 3;

[0079] Remove the moldy replaceable part 22 and then install a new replaceable part 22;

[0080] The new replaceable part 22 is locked on the mounting protrusion 11 using the fastening assembly 3 .
