[0066] Embodiment 1

[0067] Based on this, as Figures 1-7 shown, a laundry treatment device according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a laundry treatment drum 6, and the laundry treatment drum 6 has a laundry access opening 4;

[0068] a laundry automatic feeding device, the laundry automatic feeding device includes a driving mechanism and a feeding mechanism,

[0069] the driving mechanism is fixedly connected to the laundry treatment drum, the feeding mechanism includes a moving member and a sealing member, the sealing member is arranged on the moving member, the sealing member is used for carrying clothes, and has a sealing surface that is adapted to the laundry access opening and can seal the laundry access opening;

[0070] wherein, the moving member can be disengaged from or connected to the driving mechanism. When the moving member is disengaged from the driving mechanism, it can drive the sealing member to move. When the moving member is connected to the driving mechanism, the driving mechanism can drive the moving member to flip, so that the sealing member cooperates with the laundry access opening to seal the laundry access opening, or separates the sealing member from the laundry access opening for accessing clothes.

[0071] Specifically, the laundry treatment device can be a drum washing machine. The drum washing machine has a better washing effect on clothes and causes less damage to clothes, so it is widely loved by users. However, the clothing access opening 4 of the pulsator washing machine is mostly a side opening, and when placing clothes manually, one needs to squat or bend down.

[0072] The housing 1 is the casing of the laundry treatment device, which can provide installation points and protection for internal components. The first side wall 101 is the main panel of the housing 1. The laundry treatment drum 6 is the main component for washing clothes. By rotating the laundry treatment drum 6, operations such as washing and drying the clothes inside can be carried out.

[0073] The laundry treatment device includes a housing 101. The laundry treatment drum 6 is arranged in the housing 101. The driving mechanism is connected to the laundry treatment drum 6, which can be directly connected or indirectly connected, forming a connection and fixing relationship with the housing 101 or other components and the laundry treatment drum 6.

[0074] The driving mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the first side wall 101. The driving mechanism can be a flipping motor. The base 5-3 of the flipping motor is fixed on the first side wall 101, which is equivalent to the fixed end. The output shaft of the flipping motor drives the laundry automatic feeding device 5 to flip, which is equivalent to the driving end.

[0075] The laundry automatic feeding device 5 is equivalent to a door cover of the laundry treatment drum 6 that can be automatically disassembled and assembled. And a pulley mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the laundry automatic feeding device 5. When the laundry automatic feeding device 5 is separated from the laundry treatment drum 6 and located on the support surface, it can move along the support surface. The support surface can be the ground of the environment where the laundry treatment device is located.

[0076] On the one hand, the laundry automatic feeding device 5 switches between the first state and the second state through the driving mechanism. When the user needs to put clothes, there is no need to bend down or squat anymore. The user can directly put the clothes into the laundry automatic feeding device 5 from above, and then the laundry automatic feeding device 5 flips to send the clothes into the laundry treatment drum 6, changing the way of putting clothes, which is convenient for users to use and improves the user experience.

[0077] On the other hand, when in the first state, the clothing delivery device can also be moved through a pulley mechanism, so that when the user needs to deliver clothes, there is no need to move to the area where the clothing treatment cylinder 6 is located. Instead, the user can control the automatic clothing delivery device 5 to move to the corresponding area according to their own needs. After putting the clothes into the automatic clothing delivery device 5, the automatic clothing delivery device 5 automatically moves to the clothing treatment cylinder 6. While putting the clothes into the clothing treatment cylinder 6, the clothing access opening 4 can be closed, making the clothing delivery process more convenient. For example, if the clothing treatment device is in the bathroom, the user can deliver clothes from the bedroom, and the automatic delivery device 5 automatically delivers the clothes to the clothing treatment cylinder 6 in the washroom, further improving the user experience.

[0078] According to the clothing treatment device of the embodiment of the present invention, clothes can be stored at the top of the automatic clothing delivery device 5, and then the automatic clothing delivery device 5 is flipped through the driving mechanism, so that the clothes in the automatic clothing delivery device 5 enter the clothing treatment cylinder 6 through the automatic clothing delivery device 5. The user's delivery operation can be changed from delivering clothes into the clothing treatment cylinder 6 through the side clothing access opening 4 to delivering clothes into the automatic clothing delivery device 5 from above. When the user delivers clothes, there is no need to bend down or squat, and the automatic clothing delivery device 5 can move along the support surface through the pulley mechanism, enabling the user to perform clothing delivery operations at any position according to their own needs, improving the user experience.

[0079] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism has a docking shaft that can be flipped, and the delivery mechanism can be switched to the first state or the second state under the drive of the docking shaft. Among them, when the moving part is separated from the docking shaft, the delivery mechanism is in the first state, the moving part can drive the sealing part to move, and the sealing part is used to carry clothes. When the moving part is connected to the docking shaft, the docking shaft drives the moving part to flip and buckle on the clothing access opening, the delivery mechanism is in the second state, and the sealing part seals the clothing access opening through the sealing surface.

[0080] Or the driving mechanism has a rotating part that can rotate forward or backward. The rotating part is used to drive the moving part to move, or drive the delivery mechanism to switch to the first state or the second state.

[0081] Specifically, the driving mechanism can be a docking shaft that can be flipped to flip the dispensing mechanism, or it can be a rotating member that can rotate forward or backward to drive the dispensing mechanism to rotate. The rotating member can be a motor. A motor drives the first roller set to move alone, and another motor is used as the rotating member to drive the second roller set to move. And when the second roller set reaches the housing docking position, the second roller set can be attracted and clamped by the magnetic member to bond it to the housing so that it cannot rotate relative to the housing. Then, the rotation of the second roller set is controlled by the motor, and the flipping of the dispensing mechanism can be realized. Specifically, as shown in the attached Figure 8 As shown, the rotating member 7 is a motor that can rotate forward and backward. The insert piece 8 supplies power to the rotating member 7 to transmit signals. The spur gear assembly 10 is installed on the output shaft 9 and is docked with the gear of the second roller set to control the second roller set to rotate forward or backward. If the rotating member 7 outputs a forward rotation signal to control the second roller set to dock with the housing, and after the second roller set is fixed to the housing by the magnetic member, the spur gear assembly 10 and the output shaft 9 cannot rotate, and the rotating member 7 will rotate reversely relative to the output shaft 9. The gear 11 is fixed on the outer surface of the rotating member 7, and the automatic dispensing device 5 itself has a corresponding gear-shaped structural member and is assembled with it. When the rotating member 7 rotates reversely relative to the output shaft, the gear 11 rotates synchronously with the rotating member 7 and drives the automatic dispensing device 5 to start rotating. The automatic dispensing device 5 will start to rotate relative to the second roller set until it is latched with the first side wall 101, and the lock and the locking hook 2 are locked. The controller stops outputting the forward rotation signal to the motor 17, and the rotating member 7 stops rotating, completing the flipping and latching operation of the automatic dispensing device.

[0082] In some embodiments, the sealing component includes a housing, the outer side wall of the housing has the sealing profile, and the interior of the housing has a receiving space for carrying clothes.

[0083] In some embodiments, the moving component includes a pulley mechanism and a base 5-3;

[0084] The pulley mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the base 5-3 and is used to drive the base 5-3 to move. The sealing component is arranged on the top of the base 5-3 and moves together with the base 5-3.

[0085] In some embodiments, the housing includes a glass bowl assembly 5-1 and a push plate 5-2;

[0086] The glass bowl assembly 5-1 is arranged on the base 5-3.

The push plate 5-2 is slidably arranged in the glass bowl assembly 5-1, and the push plate 5-2 is used to discharge the clothes in the receiving space.

[0087] In some embodiments, the automatic clothing delivery device 5 includes a base 5-3, a glass bowl assembly 5-1 and a push plate 5-2;

[0088] The pulley mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the base 5-3;

[0089] The glass bowl assembly 5-1 is arranged on the top of the base 5-3, and the glass bowl assembly 5-1 has a receiving space with an opening facing away from the base 5-3, and the receiving space is used to receive clothes;

[0090] The push plate 5-2 is slidably disposed in the glass bowl assembly 5-1, and the push plate 5-2 is used to discharge the clothes in the accommodating space.

[0091] Specifically, the base 5-3 can be a plate body, which can provide a fulcrum for the glass bowl assembly 5-1 and the push plate 5-2. The glass bowl assembly 5-1 can be a frame. The internal storage space of the glass bowl assembly 5-1 can be used to accommodate clothes. The outer wall of the glass bowl assembly 5-1 can cooperate with the clothing storage and access port 4 to seal the clothing storage and access port 4. The push plate 5-2 can slide under the control of the controller, and the movement function can be realized by an electric push rod or a motor driving a screw structure.

[0092] When the user puts the clothes into the accommodating space, the push plate 5-2 is located at the bottom of the accommodating space. After the automatic clothing delivery device 5 moves to the clothing processing drum 6 and switches from the first state to the second state, the push plate 5-2 can move from the bottom of the accommodating space to the top of the accommodating space, and push the clothes in the accommodating space so that all the clothes can enter the clothing processing drum 6, thereby avoiding the clothes being retained in the accommodating space and not participating in the washing process, which affects the washing effect.

[0093] In some embodiments, the glass bowl assembly 5-1 has a baffle 5-4 on the side facing away from the driving mechanism, and the top of the baffle 5-4 is inclined toward the side where the driving mechanism is located.

[0094] Specifically, the baffle 5-4 can be an inclined plate. The baffle 5-4 is arranged on the side of the glass bowl assembly 5-1 away from the driving mechanism and inclined toward the driving mechanism. It can enable the automatic clothing dispensing device 5 to cover the clothes in the glass bowl assembly 5-1 during the process of converting the first state and the second state through the driving mechanism, so as to prevent the clothes from leaking from the side away from the driving mechanism during the flipping of the automatic clothing dispensing device 5, or moving to the edge of the glass bowl assembly 5-1, affecting the engagement operation of the automatic clothing dispensing device 5 and the clothing storage and access port 4.

[0095] In some embodiments, the pulley mechanism includes: a first roller set 5-5, a second roller set 5-6 and a first motor;

[0096] The fixed end of the first roller set 5-5 is connected to the bottom of the push plate 5-2 and is located in the middle area of the push plate 5-2. The fixed end of the second roller set 5-6 is connected to the bottom of the base 5-3 and is located on the first side of the base 5-3. The first side is the side where the base 5-3 is detachably connected to the driving mechanism. The fixed end of the first motor is connected to the base 5-3. The output end of the first motor is in transmission cooperation with the first roller set 5-5 and the second roller set 5-6. The first motor is used to drive the first roller set 5-5 and the second roller set 5-6 to rotate.

[0097] Specifically, the first roller set 5-5, the second roller set 5-6 and the first motor cooperate with each other. The first roller set 5-5 and the second roller set 5-6 can be driven by the motor to rotate, and the automatic clothing dispensing device 5 can be moved. The moving direction can be changed through the first roller set 5-5 and the second roller set 5-6, so that the automatic clothing dispensing device 5 can reach the preset position. The first roller set 5-5 is connected to the bottom of the push plate 5-2 and can move together with the push plate 5-2 when the automatic clothing dispensing device 5 is in the second state. The push plate 5-2 pushes the clothes into the clothing treatment cylinder 6, and the first roller set 5-5 is received into the glass bowl assembly 5-1 together with the push plate 5-2, avoiding occupying too much space and affecting the aesthetics of the entire clothing treatment device.

[0098] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism includes a docking shaft and a second motor;

[0099] The fixed end of the second motor is connected to the first side wall 101. The output end of the second motor is in transmission cooperation with the docking shaft. The second motor is used to drive the docking shaft to turn up and down. The docking shaft is detachably connected to the base 5-3.

[0100] Specifically, the driving mechanism realizes the flipping operation of the automatic clothing dispensing device 5 through the second motor and the docking shaft. The docking shaft is detachably connected to the automatic clothing dispensing device 5, so that after the automatic clothing dispensing device 5 is flipped from the clothing access port 4 to the ground, it can be separated from the driving mechanism, and then can move along the support surface.

[0101] In some embodiments, a slot is provided on the first side of the base 5-3. The docking shaft has a telescopic end corresponding to the slot. The telescopic end is used to extend into the slot to connect the docking shaft to the base 5-3, or to be withdrawn from the slot to disconnect the connecting shaft from the base 5-3.

[0102] Specifically, the detachable connection between the docking shaft and the automatic clothing dispensing device 5 can be achieved by providing a slot on the base 5-3. The slot is adapted to the docking shaft.
