[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides a door structure 100, which can be applied to a washing device.

[0031] like Figure 1 to Figure 6 As shown, the door structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a door body 110 and at least one convex rib 120, the door body 110 has a front side and a back side, and the convex rib 120 is arranged on the back side of the door body 110; the convex rib 120 has a first inclined surface 121 and two second inclined surfaces 122, and the upper end of the first inclined surface 121 is closer to the back side of the door body 110 than the lower end of the first inclined surface 121; the two second inclined surfaces 122 are arranged opposite to each other on the left and right sides of the first inclined surface 121, and the distance between the two second inclined surfaces 122 gradually increases from the upper end of the door body 110 to the lower end of the door body 110.

[0032] The door body structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a convex rib 120 on the back side of the door body 110, and the convex rib 120 has a first inclined surface 121 and two second inclined surfaces 122. The upper end of the first inclined surface 121 is closer to the back side of the door body 110 than the lower end of the first inclined surface 121, and the two second inclined surfaces 122 are relatively arranged on the left and right sides of the first inclined surface 121, and the distance between the two second inclined surfaces 122 gradually increases from the upper end of the door body 110 to the lower end of the door body 110, so that the spray water can be dispersed in different directions through the first inclined surface 121 and the two second inclined surfaces 122 of the convex rib 120, thereby increasing the spray range, so as to effectively clean the foam on various parts of the washed objects (such as clothes) and prevent foam residue.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the back side of the door body 110 includes a first side 111 and a second side 112, the first side 111 is arranged opposite to the front side of the door body 110, the second side 112 is connected to the first side 111 and is arranged at an acute angle with the front side of the door body 110, and the convex rib 120 is arranged on the first side 111. In this way, the spray water can be better dispersed to different directions, the spray range can be increased, and the foam on various parts of the washed objects (such as clothes) can be effectively cleaned to prevent the foam from remaining.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the door body 110 includes a panel 113 and a bowl body 114 having an opening, the panel 113 is disposed at the opening of the bowl body 114, and the convex rib 120 is disposed on the side of the bowl body 114 facing away from the panel 113 (i.e., the back side of the door body 110). The panel 113 facilitates the user to open or close the door body 110, and the structure of the bowl body 114 facilitates buckling at the inlet 202 of the washing device so that the convex rib 120 can extend into the washing chamber 201. Optionally, the bowl body 114 is made of glass, that is, the bowl body 114 is made of glass.

[0035] Optionally, the number of the convex ribs 120 can be multiple (ie, at least two), which can be set according to actual needs. The multiple convex ribs 120 are arranged in sequence along the up and down direction on the back of the door body 110, so as to further increase the spray range of the spray water and improve the foam cleaning effect. Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, the number of the convex ribs 120 is six, and the six convex ribs 120 are arranged in sequence along the up-down direction on the back side of the door body 110 .

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the rib 120 and the door body 110 are integrally formed (i.e., the rib 120 and the door body 110 are integrally formed), thereby facilitating production, simplifying the production process, and improving production efficiency. Specifically, in an embodiment in which the door body 110 includes a panel 113 and a bowl body 114, the rib 120 and the bowl body 114 are integrally formed.

[0037] The present application also provides a washing device, such as Figure 7 to Figure 9As shown, the washing device includes a body 200, a spray device and a door structure 100, and the specific structure of the door structure 100 refers to the above embodiment; the body 200 has a washing chamber 201 and a delivery port 202 connected to the washing chamber 201, and the delivery port 202 is used to deliver the washed objects (such as clothes) into the washing chamber 201; the door body 110 of the door structure 100 can be opened and closed at the delivery port 202, and when the door body 110 is in a closed state (that is, the door body 110 closes the delivery port 202), the convex rib 120 of the door structure 100 can extend into the washing chamber 201, and the water outlet direction of the spray device is toward the convex rib 120.

[0038] Specifically, when the door body 110 of the door structure 100 closes the delivery port 202 (for example, the door body 110 is snapped into the delivery port 202), the front side of the door body faces the outside of the washing chamber 201, and the back side of the door body 110 faces the inside of the washing chamber 201, so that the rib 120 can extend into the washing chamber 201 to disperse the water flow sprayed by the spray device.

[0039] Since the washing device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0040] It is understandable that during the washing process, since the ribs 120 on the back of the door body 110 extend into the washing chamber 201, the ribs 120 can rub against the laundry, achieving a kneading effect on the laundry, making it easier to remove stains on the laundry, thereby improving the cleaning ratio.

[0041] Optional, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the washing device further includes a door seal 210, which is arranged along the circumference of the inlet 202; when the door body 110 is in a closed state, the door body 110 cooperates with the door seal 210 to seal the inlet 202. Specifically, in an embodiment in which the door body 110 includes a panel 113 and a bowl body 114, when the door body 110 is in a closed state, the bowl body 114 cooperates with the door seal 210 to seal the inlet 202.

[0042] It is understandable that when there are a lot of laundry in the washing chamber 201, the laundry can easily enter between the door seal 210 and the door body 110 during the washing process. The washing device of the present application is provided with a convex rib 120 on the back side of the door body 110. The convex rib 120 extends into the washing chamber 201 during the washing process. Therefore, most of the laundry can be blocked in the washing chamber 201 by the convex rib 120, preventing the laundry from entering between the door seal 210 and the door body 110.

[0043] Optional, such as Fig. 9As shown, the body 200 includes an inner drum 220 and an outer drum (not shown), the inner drum 220 is rotatably disposed in the outer drum and coaxially disposed with the outer drum, and the internal space of the inner drum 220 forms a washing chamber 201.

[0044] Optionally, the inner wall of the inner drum 220 is provided with a plurality of lifting ribs 221, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the inner drum 220, and the lifting ribs 221 extend along the axial direction of the inner drum 220. This arrangement enables the lifting ribs 221 to increase the stirring effect, so that during the rotation of the inner drum 220, the friction force on the laundry is increased, so that the stains on the laundry are more easily separated from the laundry, so as to achieve a cleaning effect.

[0045] Taking clothes as an example, when a user uses a washing machine to wash clothes, the clothes are placed in the inner drum 220 and a proper amount of detergent and water are added. The inner drum 220 will rotate continuously. During the rotation, the second lifting ribs 221 lift the clothes to the highest point of the inner drum 220, and then the clothes fall down from the high place due to gravity, achieving the effect of clothes falling, thereby removing stains; at the same time, the clothes are easy to spread out during the rising and falling process, which prevents entanglement, has low wear, and is more protective of clothes. While the inner drum 220 rotates, the water flow also begins to impact the clothes, so that the stains and dirt on the surface of the clothes are washed away, and the detergent also plays a role in decontamination.

[0046] Optionally, the washing device is a washing machine (such as a drum washing machine) or a washer-dryer.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0048] The door structure and washing equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application are introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; at the same time, for technical personnel in this field, according to the ideas of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
