[0033] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to specific situations.
[0034] Clothing treatment devices usually have a dosing box. During the use of the clothing treatment device, the user pulls out the dosing box, pours the detergent into the dosing box, and then pushes the dosing box back into the water inlet box to close the dosing box. At the same time, the dosing box is locked and fixed relative to the water inlet box, so as to prevent the dosing box from falling out of the water inlet box during operation.
[0035] The embodiments of the present application provide a clothing treatment device. Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the clothing treatment device includes a water inlet box 11, a dosing box 12, and a locking assembly 13. The dosing box 12 is arranged in the water inlet box 11. The dosing box 12 can move along a first direction. The locking assembly 13 is assembled with the dosing box 12 or the water inlet box 11 along a second direction. The first direction intersects the second direction.
[0036] It should be noted that the first direction intersecting the second direction means that the first direction and the second direction are not parallel. Exemplarily, the first direction and the second direction are completely perpendicular or approximately perpendicular.
[0037] Exemplarily, the clothing treatment device includes a clothing treatment chamber for treating clothing. The dosing box 12 is used for dosing detergent. The water inlet box 11 intakes water so that the detergent flows out of the water inlet box 11 and enters the clothing treatment chamber.
[0038] The dosing box 12 is arranged in the water inlet box 11, and the dosing box 12 can move in the first direction, which means that the dosing box 12 moves in the first direction and is at least partially withdrawn from the water inlet box 11 to the outside of the water inlet box 11.
[0039] The locking assembly 13 is assembled with the dosing box 12 or the water inlet box 11 in the second direction. That is to say, the locking assembly 13 and the dosing box 12 or the water inlet box 11 are of a split structure, and the locking assembly 13 is installed on the dosing box 12 or the water inlet box 11 in the second direction.
[0040] Specifically, since the locking assembly 13 is of a split structure, the structure and composition of the locking assembly 13 can be adjusted accordingly according to the requirements of the locking force. Different locking assemblies 13 can be used for the same dosing box 12, so as to provide different locking forces, which can improve the situation that it is difficult to adjust the locking force between the dosing box 12 and the water inlet box 11, thereby enhancing the user experience.
[0041] It should be noted that the locking assembly 13 can be telescoped in the second direction and can lock and unlock the dosing box 12 in the second direction, so that the locking assembly 13 will not interfere with the dosing box 12 or the water inlet box 11 during the assembly process. The locking assembly 13 is assembled with the dosing box 12 or the water inlet box 11 in the second direction, which is beneficial to the installation and disassembly of the locking assembly 13, and the assembly connection structure between the locking assembly 13 and the dosing box 12 or the water inlet box 11 is more reliable and stable.
[0042] In the laundry treatment device provided by the embodiment of the present application, the dosing box 12 moves in the first direction and is at least partially withdrawn from the water inlet box 11 to the outside of the water inlet box 11. By assembling the locking assembly 13 with the dosing box 12 or the water inlet box 11 in the second direction, the locking assembly 13 will not interfere with the dosing box 12 or the water inlet box 11 during the assembly process, which is beneficial to the installation and disassembly of the locking assembly 13. In addition, the locking assembly 13 and the dosing box 12 or the water inlet box 11 can be set as a split structure, and a suitable locking assembly 13 can be selected according to the requirements, so as to provide different locking forces, improve the situation that it is difficult to adjust the locking force between the dosing box 12 and the water inlet box 11, enhance the reliability of the connection structure between the dosing box 12 and the water inlet box 11, and thus enhance the user experience.
[0043] In some embodiments, the water inlet box 11 is provided with a first limiting portion 11a. The locking assembly 13 is assembled with the dosing box 12 along a second direction. The locking assembly 13 has a locked state. In the locked state, the locking assembly 13 is in limiting cooperation with the first limiting portion 11a, and can at least limit the dosing box 12 in a first direction. The locking assembly 13 includes a moving member 131 and an elastic reset member 132. The distance between one end of the moving member 131 away from the first limiting portion 11a and the first limiting portion 11a does not exceed the distance between one end of the elastic reset member 132 away from the first limiting portion 11a and the first limiting portion 11a.
[0044] It should be noted that the locked state is the state in which the locking assembly 13 locks the dosing box 12 within the water inlet box 11.
[0045] The water inlet box 11 is provided with a first limiting portion 11a, and the locking assembly 13 is assembled with the dosing box 12 along a second direction. Through the limiting cooperation between the locking assembly 13 and the first limiting portion 11a, the dosing box 12 can be at least limited in a first direction, so as to lock the dosing box 12 on the water inlet box 11. At the same time, since the water inlet box 11 and the laundry treatment device are usually fixed together, and the locking assembly 13 is installed on the dosing box 12, the dosing box 12 can be disengaged from the water inlet box 11, making the assembly of the dosing box 12 and the locking assembly 13 more convenient.
[0046] In addition, the limiting cooperation between the locking assembly 13 and the first limiting portion 11a can limit the dosing box 12 only in the first direction, or can also limit the dosing box 12 in other directions, which is not limited herein.
[0047] It should be noted that through the limiting cooperation between the locking assembly 13 and the first limiting portion 11a, a suitable locking assembly 13 can be selected according to requirements, so that the locking force of the locking assembly 13 can be more matched with the first limiting portion 11a, thereby improving the reliability of the connection structure between the dosing box 12 and the water inlet box 11.
[0048] The locking assembly 13 includes a moving member 131 and an elastic reset member 132. Among them, the moving member 131 and the elastic reset member 132 can be in abutting connection or fixed connection.
[0049] Exemplarily, the elastic reset member 132 can drive the moving member 131 to move along the second direction. That is to say, the elastic reset member 132 can drive the moving member 131 to move along the second direction, so as to realize the locking of the dosing box 12.
[0050] The distance between one end of the moving member 131 away from the first limiting portion 11a and the first limiting portion 11a does not exceed the distance between one end of the elastic reset member 132 away from the first limiting portion 11a and the first limiting portion 11a, so that the moving distance of the moving member 131 is smaller, reducing the space occupied by the moving member 131 during movement, thereby improving the compactness of the locking assembly 13.
[0051] In this way, by providing the first limiting portion 11a on the water inlet box 11, the locking assembly 13 is assembled with the feeding box 12 along the second direction, making the assembly of the feeding box 12 and the locking assembly 13 more convenient. At the same time, the distance between one end of the moving member 131 away from the first limiting portion 11a and the first limiting portion 11a does not exceed the distance between one end of the elastic reset member 132 away from the first limiting portion 11a and the first limiting portion 11a, so that the moving distance of the moving member 131 is smaller, reducing the space occupied by the moving member 131 during movement, thereby improving the compactness of the locking assembly 13.
[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 7 , the locking assembly 13 further has an unlocking state. The dimension of the locking assembly 13 along the second direction in the unlocking state is greater than the dimension of the locking assembly 13 along the second direction in the locking state. In the unlocking state, the moving member 131 is separated from the first limiting portion 11a, the elastic reset member 132 resumes its elastic deformation, and the feeding box 12 is movable relative to the water inlet box 11 along the first direction. In the locking state, the moving member 131 contacts and compresses the elastic reset member 132 with the first limiting portion 11a.
[0053] It should be noted that the unlocking state is the state where the locking assembly 13 is completely disengaged from the water inlet box 11.
[0054] The dimension of the locking assembly 13 along the second direction in the unlocking state is greater than the dimension of the locking assembly 13 along the second direction in the locking state. That is to say, in the locking state and the unlocking state, at least the dimension of the locking assembly 13 in the second direction is different. The locking assembly 13 can change its dimension in the second direction through elastic deformation, so as to realize the switching between the locking state and the unlocking state.
[0055] It can be understood that in the unlocking state, since the locking assembly 13 is separated from the first limiting portion 11a, the locking assembly 13 will not be squeezed by the first limiting portion 11a, enabling the elastic reset member 132 to resume its elastic deformation, so that the dimension of the locking assembly 13 in the unlocking state becomes larger.
[0056] In the locked state, since the locking assembly 13 contacts the first limiting portion 11a, the locking assembly 13 is extruded by the first limiting portion 11a, causing the elastic reset member 132 to undergo elastic deformation and compression, so that the size of the locking assembly 13 becomes smaller in the locked state. At the same time, the locking assembly 13 can exert a certain acting force on the first limiting portion 11a, thereby providing a certain locking force and improving the locking reliability of the locking assembly 13.
[0057] In addition, in the unlocked state, the dosing box 12 is movable relative to the water inlet box 11 in the first direction, which means that the moving member 131 of the locking assembly 13 is separated from the first limiting portion 11a on the water inlet box 11 in the unlocked state, and the dosing box 12 can be moved out of the water inlet box 11 in the first direction to facilitate the user to pour the detergent into the dosing box 12.
[0058] It can be understood that the contact between the moving member 131 and the first limiting portion 11a can be surface-to-surface contact, line-to-surface contact, line-to-line contact, etc., which is not limited herein.
[0059] Among them, the surface-to-surface contact can be plane-to-plane contact or curved surface-to-curved surface contact.
[0060] Thus, by the fact that the size of the locking assembly 13 in the second direction in the unlocked state is greater than the size of the locking assembly 13 in the second direction in the locked state, the elastic reset member 132 restores its elastic deformation in the unlocked state, and the elastic reset member 132 is extruded to generate elastic deformation in the locked state, thereby realizing the switching between the locked state and the unlocked state.
[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 , at least one side wall of the dosing box 12 in the second direction is recessed inward to form an installation groove 12a. At least part of the locking assembly 13 is disposed in the installation groove 12a.
[0062] It should be noted that at least one side wall of the dosing box 12 in the second direction refers to one of the side walls of the dosing box 12 in the second direction or the two side walls at both ends in the second direction.
[0063] Recessed inward means recessed toward the inside of the dosing box 12, thereby forming an installation groove 12a on the side wall.
[0064] Among them, one or more installation grooves 12a can be formed on one side wall.
[0065] As used in the embodiments of the present application, "a plurality of" means two or more in number.
[0066] The cross-section of the installation groove 12a can be a polygon, a circle, or other figures surrounded by an arc and a straight line segment, which is not limited herein.
[0067] At least part of the locking assembly 13 is disposed in the installation groove 12a, which means that part of the locking assembly 13 or the entire locking assembly 13 is disposed in the installation groove 12a, so as to realize the connection and fixation between the locking assembly 13 and the installation groove 12a.
[0068] It should be noted that the first limiting portion 11a can be disposed on at least one inner wall of the water inlet box 11 along the second direction. The first limiting portion 11a is correspondingly disposed with the installation groove 12a, so that in the locked state, the locking assembly 13 in the installation groove 12a is in limiting cooperation with the first limiting portion 11a.
[0069] Thus, by recessing at least one side wall of the delivery box 12 along the second direction inward, the installation groove 12a for setting the locking assembly 13 is formed, so that the structure of the delivery box 12 and the locking assembly 13 is more compact. At the same time, the installation groove 12a plays a certain limiting role on the locking assembly 13, which is beneficial to increasing the connection strength between the delivery box 12 and the locking assembly 13.
[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 6 , the locking assembly 13 further includes a fixing member 133 having a receiving cavity 133a. At least part of the fixing member 133 is disposed in the installation groove 12a. At least part of the moving member 131 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity 133a. The moving member 131 is disposed between the fixing member 133 and the elastic reset member 132.
[0071] It should be noted that the receiving cavity 133a of the fixing member 133 is used to receive the moving member 131 and the elastic reset member 132.
[0072] At least part of the fixing member 133 is disposed in the installation groove 12a, which means that the fixing member 133 is connected to the installation groove 12a, so as to fix the fixing member 133 and realize the combination and fixation of the moving member 131 and the elastic reset member 132 received in the receiving cavity 133a.
[0073] At least part of the moving member 131 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity 133a. It can be that part of the moving member 131 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity 133a, or the entire moving member 131 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity 133a, so as to realize the sliding between the moving member 131 and the fixing member 133.
[0074] The moving member 131 is disposed between the fixed member 133 and the elastic reset member 132. One end of the moving member 131 may be in contact with the elastic reset member 132, and the other end may be in contact with the fixed member 133. The fixed member 133 has a one-way limit on the moving member 131 to prevent the moving member 131 from disengaging from the installation groove 12a. The elastic reset member 132 is in contact with the other end of the moving member 131, so that the elastic reset member 132 is compressed under the pressure transmitted by the moving member 131.
[0075] In this way, the accommodation cavity 133a of the fixed member 133 accommodates and limits the moving member 131 and the elastic reset member 132. At the same time, the fixed member 133 is connected to the installation groove 12a, so as to realize the combination and fixation of the locking assembly 13. The structure of the locking assembly 13 is more reasonable, which is beneficial to the disassembly and installation of the locking assembly 13.
[0076] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a clamping groove 12c is provided on the groove wall 12b of the installation groove 12a. The fixed member 133 is provided with a clamping portion 133b. The clamping portion 133b is in clamping fit with the clamping groove 12c.
[0077] Here, by providing the clamping groove 12c on the groove wall 12b of the installation groove 12a and the fixed member 133 is provided with a clamping portion 133b corresponding to the clamping groove 12c, the clamping between the fixed member 133 and the installation groove 12a is realized, making the disassembly and installation of the fixed member 133 more convenient. While simplifying the connection structure between the fixed member 133 and the installation groove 12a, the reliability of the connection can also be improved.
[0078] In some embodiments, the fixed member 133 is provided with an installation opening 133c. At least part of the moving member 131 can extend out of the accommodation cavity 133a through the installation opening 133c and contact the water inlet box 11. At least part of the side wall of the moving member 131 bulges outwards to form a first flange 131a. The first flange 131a is used to abut against the peripheral area of the installation opening 133c to limit the moving member 131 in the second direction.
[0079] It should be noted that the side of the installation opening 133c facing away from the water inlet box 11 has a limiting surface 133d. The limiting surface 133d is in surface-to-surface contact with the first flange 131a of the moving member 131, making the one-way limit of the fixed member 133 on the moving member 131 in the second direction more reliable and further strengthening the limiting effect.
[0080] Here, by the first flange 131a formed by the outward bulge of the moving member 131 abutting against the peripheral area of the installation opening 133c, the fixed member 133 performs a one-way limit on the moving member 131 in the second direction, so that the moving member 131 is not easily disengaged from the accommodation cavity 133a.
[0081] For some examples, see Figure 3 and Figure 7 One of the fixing member 133 and the delivery box 12 is provided with a third limiting portion 133e, and the other one is provided with a limiting groove 12d extending along the second direction, and the third limiting portion 133e is slidably matched with the limiting groove 12d.
[0082] It should be noted that the number of the third limiting portions 133e can be one, two, three or four, etc., and is not limited here. The number of the limiting grooves 12d can also be one, two, three or four, etc. accordingly.
[0083] Exemplarily, the third limiting portion 133e may be a second flange, so as to achieve sliding fit between the second flange and the limiting groove 12d extending along the second direction.
[0084] In addition, in addition to limiting the third limiting portion 133e, the limiting groove 12d can also guide the installation posture of the fixing member 133 when installing the fixing member 133 on the delivery box 12, for example, it can make the clamping portion 133b smoothly align with the clamping slot 12c and clamp into it, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the fixing member 133.
[0085] In this way, by setting the third limiting portion 133e on one of the fixing member 133 and the delivery box 12, and setting the limiting groove 12d extending along the second direction on the other, the third limiting portion 133e and the limiting groove 12d are slidably matched, thereby increasing the limiting effect of the delivery box 12 on the fixing member 133, and at the same time, guiding the installation posture of the fixing member 133, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the fixing member 133.
[0086] For some examples, see Figure 1 The water inlet box 11 is provided with an opening 11b, an installation space 11c and a guide surface 11d between the opening 11b and the first limit portion 11a. The delivery box 12 can move into the installation space 11c through the opening 11b. The guide surface 11d is used to guide the moving member 131.
[0087] Specifically, a guide surface 11d is formed on a side of the first limiting portion 11a away from the installation space 11c along the first direction.
[0088] It should be noted that when the delivery box 12 is pulled outward along the first direction until the locking assembly 13 is moved out of the installation space 11c through the opening 11b, the locking assembly 13 is in a free state. At this time, the elastic return member 132 restores its elastic deformation and pushes the moving member 131 out along the second direction to the maximum extension stroke.
[0089] Wherein, when the moving member 131 is ejected in the second direction to the maximum extended travel, the elastic reset member 132 can be in a state of fully restoring elastic deformation or restoring partial elastic deformation.
[0090] It can be understood that when the moving member 131 is ejected in the second direction to the maximum extended travel and the elastic reset member 132 restores partial elastic deformation, the elastic reset member 132 exerts a certain ejection force on the moving member 131, so that the moving member 131 is in close contact with the fixed member 133, realizing the fixation of the moving member 131 at the maximum extended travel position.
[0091] When the delivery box 12 moves from outside the installation space 11c into the installation space 11c, the moving member 131 of the locking assembly 13 first contacts the guiding surface 11d. The guiding surface 11d guides the moving member 131, changing the force direction of the moving member 131. The force angle when the moving member 131 contacts the water inlet box 11 is more reasonable, making it easier for the moving member 131 to retract into the accommodation cavity 133a in the second direction and easier to compress the elastic reset member 132 to generate elastic deformation, thereby further enhancing the user experience of pushing in the delivery box 12.
[0092] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The moving member 131 has a first arc surface 131b. The first limiting portion 11a has a second arc surface 111a that cooperates with the first arc surface 131b. The curvature of the second arc surface 111a is less than or equal to the curvature of the first arc surface 131b.
[0093] The moving member 131 having the first arc surface 131b means that one end of the moving member 131 away from the accommodation cavity 133a has the first arc surface 131b, and the first arc surface 131b extends out of the accommodation cavity 133a, thereby realizing the cooperation between the moving member 131 and the first limiting portion 11a.
[0094] Exemplarily, the first arc surface 131b is a convex hemispherical shape, and the second arc surface 111a is a groove with a circular arc cross-section.
[0095] The cooperation between the first arc surface 131b and the second arc surface 111a can be surface contact, line contact or point contact.
[0096] The curvature of the second arc surface 111a is less than or equal to the curvature of the first arc surface 131b, that is to say, the bending degree of the second arc surface 111a is less than or equal to the bending degree of the first arc surface 131b, and the arc radius where the second arc surface 111a is located is greater than or equal to the arc radius where the first arc surface 131b is located.
[0097] Exemplarily, the first arc surface 131b is a convex hemispherical shape, the second arc surface 111a is a groove with a circular arc cross-section, and the curvature of the second arc surface 111a is less than or equal to the curvature of the first arc surface 131b, so that at least a part of the first arc surface 131b of the moving member 131 can extend into the first limiting portion 11a, and the contact position between the first arc surface 131b and the second arc surface 111a is located inside the first limiting portion 11a, that is, inside the groove, thereby making the cooperation between the first arc surface 131b and the second arc surface 111a more stable and reliable, and at the same time enabling the moving member 131 to slide into or out of the first limiting portion 11a more smoothly.
[0098] By providing the first arc surface 131b at one end of the moving member 131 away from the accommodating cavity 133a and providing the second arc surface 111a cooperating with the first arc surface 131b in the first limiting portion 11a, the moving member 131 and the first limiting portion 11a are cooperated through the first arc surface 131b and the second arc surface 111a. On the one hand, it can prevent the moving member 131 from being locked with the first limiting portion 11a. On the other hand, the arc surface has a guiding effect, enabling the moving member 131 to slide into or out of the first limiting portion 11a more smoothly.
[0099] In some embodiments, the elastic reset member 132 is a non-metallic member; or, the material of the elastic reset member 132 is silica gel, rubber or plastic.
[0100] It should be noted that the elastic reset member 132 can also be a metallic member, such as a metal compression spring.
[0101] The elastic reset member 132 being a non-metallic member can enable the elastic reset member 132 to have an anti-rust function and be more environmentally friendly at the same time.
[0102] The elastic reset member 132 is made of a material such as silica gel, rubber or plastic that is more likely to produce elastic deformation, thereby realizing the elastic deformation of the elastic reset member 132 and increasing the reliability and anti-rust function of the elastic reset member 132.
