Example 1

[0038] See also Figure 1-4 As shown, it is an embodiment of a combined washing device proposed by the present invention. A combined washing device 100 includes: a washing machine 10 and a shoe washing machine 20. The washing machine 10 and the shoe washing machine 20 are stacked up and down, and the shoe washing machine 20 is located below the washing machine 10. The shoe washing machine 20 is a drawer type.

[0039] In this embodiment, the shoe washing machine 20 comprises a housing 21, a retractable drawer 22 positioned within the housing 21, and an openable and closable inner lid 23 disposed within the drawer 22. The drawer 22 is provided with an upper frame, and the inner lid 23 is hingedly mounted on the upper frame. The inner lid 23 serves to seal a shoe washing chamber. To use the shoe washing machine 20, the drawer 22 is first opened, followed by the inner lid 23. Shoes are then placed into the shoe washing chamber. The drawer 22 is then closed, which simultaneously closes the inner lid 23. Alternatively, after placing the shoes into the shoe washing chamber, the inner lid 23 is closed first, followed by the drawer 22.

[0040] To prevent the inner lid 23 from closing on its own, a magnetic attraction structure is provided between the inner lid 23 and the housing 11 of the washing machine 10, allowing the inner lid 23 to adhere to the housing 11 after it is opened. A magnetic attraction structure is provided between the inner lid 23 and the housing 11 of the washing machine 10, allowing the inner lid 23 to adhere to the housing 11 after it is opened; this prevents the inner lid 23 from closing on its own, helping to ensure the stability of the inner lid 23 after it is opened. Furthermore, when the drawer 22 is closed, the forward and downward force applied to the opened inner lid 23 overcomes the attraction of the magnetic attraction structure, allowing the inner lid 23 to close. Of course, it is also possible to manually close the inner lid 23 before closing the drawer 23.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the housing 11 of the washing machine 10 and the shell 21 of the shoe washing machine 20 may be configured as an integrated structure, or the housing 11 of the washing machine 10 and the shell 21 of the shoe washing machine 20 may be configured as separate structures.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the magnetic adsorption structure is a magnetic member 2327 fixed on the inner cover 23, and the housing 11 adopts a metal plate that is adsorbed by the magnetic member. When the user opens the inner cover 23 close to the housing 11, the inner cover 23 is adsorbed on the housing 11 due to the magnetic attraction between the magnetic member 2327 and the housing 11. The housing 11 of the washing machine 10 is mostly made of steel plate structure. By providing the magnetic member 2327 on the inner cover 23, a magnetic adsorption structure can be formed to achieve the adsorption of the inner cover 23 on the housing 11; this saves the need to provide a metal block on the housing 11, which is beneficial to the simplification of the magnetic adsorption structure, as well as the simplification of the assembly steps, which is beneficial to reducing manufacturing costs; in particular, it saves space for providing metal blocks.

[0043] In some other embodiments of the present application, a box body 11 made of plastic may also be provided, and the magnetic adsorption structure includes a magnetic member 2327 fixed to the inner cover 23 and a metal block fixed to the box body 11. After the inner cover 23 is opened, it leans against the box body 11, and the metal block is attached to the leaning position on the box body 11 or inside the leaning position.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the magnetic member 2327 is preferably configured as a permanent magnet. Alternatively, it may be configured as an electromagnet. When the drawer 22 is opened, the electromagnet is controlled to be powered on, causing attraction between the electromagnet and the box body 11; when the drawer 22 is closed, the electromagnet is controlled to be powered off, facilitating the separation and closing of the inner cover 23 from the box body 11.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner lid 23 includes a lid body 231 and a handle 232 disposed on the lid body 231, with a magnetic member 2327 fixed to the handle 232. The provision of the handle 232 facilitates manual opening of the inner lid 23; the handle 232 is necessarily disposed on the upper end surface of the lid body 231. When the inner lid 23 is opened and rests against the case 11, the handle 232 is closer to the case 11 than the lid body 231; therefore, the magnetic member 2327 is fixed to the handle 232.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, the handle 232 is provided with a plurality of claws 2321 extending toward the cover 231. The claws 2321 are used to engage and secure the magnetic member 2327. The claws 2321 are provided to securely engage the magnetic member 2327, simplifying the assembly of the magnetic member 2327 and improving assembly efficiency. The claws 2321 are provided to extend toward the cover 231, meaning that the magnetic member 2327 is secured to the lower end surface of the handle 232. Firstly, the space between the handle 232 and the cover 231 is effectively utilized. In order to grasp the handle, a certain gap is required between the handle 232 and the cover 231 for the fingers to insert and grasp the handle 232. Secondly, the magnetic member 2327 is invisible, located on the lower end surface of the handle 232, without affecting the appearance quality. Thirdly, in the adsorption state, the magnetic member 2327 is kept as close as possible to the box 11 to ensure the adsorption effect.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the handle 232 is further provided with a plurality of limit blocks 2322 extending toward the cover 231. The limit blocks 2322 are used to limit the magnetic member 2327. Two limit blocks 2322 are disposed opposite each other, with the magnetic member 2327 located between the two limit blocks 2322. The limit blocks 2322 are used to limit the left-right movement of the magnetic member 2327. The claws 2321 are disposed opposite each other front-to-back to limit the movement of the handle 232 in the front-to-back direction, as well as movement away from the handle 232. Example 2

[0048] This embodiment is based on the first embodiment, and sets the linkage between the handle 232 and the lock tongue 233 to simplify the structure. Figure 1-4 As shown, a combined washing device 100 includes: a washing machine 10 and a shoe washing machine 20. The washing machine 10 and the shoe washing machine 20 are stacked up and down, and the shoe washing machine 20 is located below the washing machine 10. The shoe washing machine 20 is a drawer type.

[0049] In this embodiment, the shoe washing machine 20 comprises a housing 21, a retractable drawer 22 positioned within the housing 21, and an openable and closable inner lid 23 disposed within the drawer 22. The drawer 22 is provided with an upper frame, and the inner lid 23 is hingedly mounted on the upper frame. The inner lid 23 serves to seal a shoe washing chamber. To use the shoe washing machine 20, the drawer 22 is first opened, followed by the inner lid 23. Shoes are then placed into the shoe washing chamber. The drawer 22 is then closed, which simultaneously closes the inner lid 23. Alternatively, after placing the shoes into the shoe washing chamber, the inner lid 23 is closed first, followed by the drawer 22.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner cover 23 includes a cover body 231 and a handle 232 disposed on the cover body 231. The cover body 231 is provided with a locking tongue 233 for locking with the drawer 22, and the handle 232 is provided with a push tongue 2323 that can push the locking tongue to unlock it. When the inner cover 23 is closed, the locking tongue extends forward into the lock hole of the drawer 22, locking the inner cover 23. The push tongue 2323 can unlock the locking tongue; movement of the handle 232 can drive movement of the push tongue 2323, which pushes the locking tongue backward, disengaging the locking tongue from the lock hole.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, a push tongue 2323 extends from the handle 232 toward the cover 231. The handle 232 is hingedly mounted on the cover 231, enabling the push tongue 2323 to push the lock tongue 233. The handle 232 is hingedly mounted, with a grip 2324 located at the rear of the handle 232. When opening the inner cover 23, the handle 232 is pulled upward, causing the grip 2324 to flip upward. The push tongue 2323 is located at the front of the handle 232, causing the push tongue 232 to move downward and backward, thereby driving the lock tongue 233 backward, unlocking the lock tongue 233.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the handle 232 is provided with two parallel hinge plates 2325 extending toward the cover 231 , and the two hinge plates 2325 are respectively provided with two hinge shafts 2326 disposed close to each other. The two hinge shafts 2326 are coaxially disposed.

[0053] To prevent the inner lid 23 from closing on its own, a magnetic attraction structure is provided between the inner lid 23 and the housing 11 of the washing machine 10, allowing the inner lid 23 to adhere to the housing 11 after it is opened. A magnetic attraction structure is provided between the inner lid 23 and the housing 11 of the washing machine 10, allowing the inner lid 23 to adhere to the housing 11 after it is opened; this prevents the inner lid 23 from closing on its own, helping to ensure the stability of the inner lid 23 after it is opened. Furthermore, when the drawer 22 is closed, the forward and downward force applied to the opened inner lid 23 overcomes the attraction of the magnetic attraction structure, allowing the inner lid 23 to close. Of course, it is also possible to manually close the inner lid 23 before closing the drawer 23.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the housing 11 of the washing machine 10 and the shell 21 of the shoe washing machine 20 may be configured as an integrated structure, or the housing 11 of the washing machine 10 and the shell 21 of the shoe washing machine 20 may be configured as separate structures.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the magnetic adsorption structure is a magnetic member 2327 fixed on the inner cover 23, and the housing 11 adopts a metal plate that is adsorbed by the magnetic member. When the user opens the inner cover 23 close to the housing 11, the inner cover 23 is adsorbed on the housing 11 due to the magnetic attraction between the magnetic member 2327 and the housing 11. The housing 11 of the washing machine 10 is mostly made of steel plate structure. By providing the magnetic member 2327 on the inner cover 23, a magnetic adsorption structure can be formed to achieve the adsorption of the inner cover 23 on the housing 11; this saves the need to provide a metal block on the housing 11, which is beneficial to the simplification of the magnetic adsorption structure, as well as the simplification of the assembly steps, which is beneficial to reducing manufacturing costs; in particular, it saves space for providing metal blocks.

[0056] In some other embodiments of the present application, a box body 11 made of plastic may also be provided, and the magnetic adsorption structure includes a magnetic member 2327 fixed to the inner cover 23 and a metal block fixed to the box body 11. After the inner cover 23 is opened, it leans against the box body 11, and the metal block is attached to the leaning position on the box body 11 or inside the leaning position.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the magnetic member 2327 is preferably configured as a permanent magnet. Alternatively, it may be configured as an electromagnet. When the drawer 22 is opened, the electromagnet is controlled to be powered on, causing attraction between the electromagnet and the box body 11; when the drawer 22 is closed, the electromagnet is controlled to be powered off, facilitating the separation and closing of the inner cover 23 from the box body 11.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner lid 23 includes a lid body 231 and a handle 232 disposed on the lid body 231, with a magnetic member 2327 fixed to the handle 232. The provision of the handle 232 facilitates manual opening of the inner lid 23; the handle 232 is necessarily disposed on the upper end surface of the lid body 231. When the inner lid 23 is opened and rests against the case 11, the handle 232 is closer to the case 11 than the lid body 231; therefore, the magnetic member 2327 is fixed to the handle 232.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the handle 232 is provided with a plurality of claws 2321 extending toward the cover 231. The claws 2321 are used to engage and secure the magnetic member 2327. The claws 2321 are provided to securely engage the magnetic member 2327, simplifying the assembly of the magnetic member 2327 and improving assembly efficiency. The claws 2321 are provided to extend toward the cover 231, meaning that the magnetic member 2327 is secured to the lower end surface of the handle 232. Firstly, the space between the handle 232 and the cover 231 is effectively utilized. In order to grasp the handle, a certain gap is required between the handle 232 and the cover 231 for the fingers to insert and grasp the handle 232. Secondly, the magnetic member 2327 is invisible, located on the lower end surface of the handle 232, without affecting the appearance quality. Thirdly, in the adsorption state, the magnetic member 2327 is kept as close as possible to the box 11 to ensure the adsorption effect.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the handle 232 is further provided with a plurality of limit blocks 2322 extending toward the cover 231. The limit blocks 2322 are used to limit the magnetic member 2327. Two limit blocks 2322 are disposed opposite each other, with the magnetic member 2327 located between the two limit blocks 2322. The limit blocks 2322 are used to limit the left-right movement of the magnetic member 2327. The claws 2321 are disposed opposite each other front-to-back to limit the movement of the handle 232 in the front-to-back direction, as well as movement away from the handle 232.
