[0057] Next, refer to Figures 1 - 18 Describe the rear panel assembly 100 of the laundry treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0058] The rear panel assembly 100 of the laundry treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present utility model may include: a first rear panel 11, a second rear panel 12, and a first cover plate 3.

[0059] In the related art, there is a laundry treatment device that integrates both a laundry function and a drying function, or a laundry treatment device that integrates at least two different laundry treatment functions. The laundry treatment device includes a first laundry treatment module and a second laundry treatment module. The first laundry treatment module and the second laundry treatment module are stacked, and each performs a different laundry treatment function. Among them, the first laundry treatment module is disposed above the second laundry treatment module.

[0060] Corresponding rear plates are respectively provided at the rear sides of the first laundry treatment module and the second laundry treatment module. Specifically, a first rear plate 11 is disposed behind the first laundry treatment module, and a second rear plate 12 is disposed behind the second laundry treatment module. That is to say, the laundry treatment device includes two juxtaposed rear plates, and there is a splicing seam at the splicing position between the two rear plates or there is a gap between the two rear plates. By overlapping the first rear plate on the outside of the second rear plate or overlapping the second rear plate on the outside of the first rear plate, only the edge structure of one rear plate can be covered, while the edge of the other rear plate remains exposed on the outside. The exposure of the rear plate edge reduces the aesthetic appearance of the rear side structure of the laundry treatment device. Moreover, there are burrs at the rear plate edge, which can cause harm to personnel during the installation process.

[0061] Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention designs a rear plate assembly 100 of a laundry treatment device having a first cover plate 3 for covering the edge of the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12, or the splicing seam or gap between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12.

[0062] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the first cover plate 3 is disposed outside one end where the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 are adjacent to each other to cover at least part of the splicing seam or gap therebetween and cover at least part of the edge structure of the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12. Thus, by using the first cover plate 3 to cover the splicing seam or gap between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 and cover at least part of the edge structure of the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12, the aesthetic appearance of the rear side structure of the laundry treatment device is improved. Moreover, by using the first cover plate 3 to cover the edge part of the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12 where there are burrs, it is avoided that the burrs cause harm to personnel during the installation process.

[0063] Due to the setting of the first cover plate 3, the structure at the edges of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 can be directly covered, and there is no need to overlap the edges of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The two rear plates can be juxtaposed, reducing the production and installation cost of the laundry treatment device.

[0064] Wherein, the inner side is the side of the internal structure of the laundry treatment device that is farther from the outer surface of the laundry treatment device, and the outer side is the side of the laundry treatment device that is closer to the outer surface. Moreover, the side of the internal structure of the laundry treatment device facing the accommodation space is the inner side, and the side facing away from the accommodation space is the outer side. The rear panel assembly 100 of the laundry treatment device is provided at the rear side of the laundry treatment device. The inner sides of the first rear panel 11 and the second rear panel 12, that is, the front sides of the first rear panel 11 and the second rear panel 12, and the outer sides of the first rear panel 11 and the second rear panel 12 are the rear sides of the first rear panel 11 and the second rear panel 12.

[0065] For the rear panel assembly 100 of the laundry treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the rear panel assembly 100 of the laundry treatment device has high aesthetic appearance, and the burrs at the edge part of the rear panel are covered, avoiding the harm to personnel caused by the burrs during the installation process.

[0066] Furthermore, in the related art, the drain pipe is fixed on the rear panel. The arrangement of the drain pipe is not beautiful. Moreover, multiple snap fasteners 32 with screws need to be installed on the rear panel to fix the drain pipe, and the fixing method of the drain pipe on the rear panel is not convenient.

[0067] Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention designs a first cover plate 3 that integrates the function of fixing the water pipe 41 while covering the edge part structure of the first rear panel 11 and / or the second rear panel 12. Thus, the first cover plate 3 has stronger functionality and can better fix the water pipe 41, making the arrangement of the water pipe 41 more convenient and beautiful, and reducing the installation steps of the water pipe 41.

[0068] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 - 4 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 13 and Figures 15 - 17 , a pipe clamp 31 is provided on the side of the first cover plate 3 facing away from the first rear panel 11 and the second rear panel 12 for fixing the water pipe 41. That is to say, at least a part of the water pipe 41 is arranged at the splicing seam, gap or overlap of the first rear panel 11 and the second rear panel 12, making better use of the space at the rear side of the rear panel and making the space arrangement inside the laundry treatment device more reasonable.

[0069] Moreover, since the pipe clamp 31 is directly integrally formed with the first cover plate 3, the pipe clamp 31 is arranged on the first rear panel 11 and the second rear panel 12 while installing the first cover plate 3, without separately arranging the pipe clamp 31, simplifying the installation process of fixing the water pipe 41 and reducing the installation cost of the laundry treatment device.

[0070] In order to enable the first cover plate 3 to better cover the splicing seam, gap or overlapping part structure of the first rear panel 11 and / or the second rear panel 12, covering a longer structure while using less space, as Figures 2 - 4 shown, the length direction of the first cover plate 3 extends along the width direction of the first rear panel 11 / the second rear panel 12.

[0071] The pipe clamp 31 is arranged on the first cover plate 3. In order to fix the water pipe 41 more stably, referring to Figures 1 - 4 , Figure 10 , Figure 13 and Figures 15 - 17 , the number of pipe clamps 31 arranged on the first cover plate 3 is multiple. The multiple pipe clamps 31 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the first cover plate 3 to better fix the water pipe 41, make the layout of the water pipe 41 stable on the rear plate assembly 100, that is, part of the water pipe 41 can be arranged along the extension direction of the gap between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, so as to utilize the space between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 to arrange the water pipe 41, making the layout of the water pipe 41 on the rear plate assembly 100 more reasonable and improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the laundry treatment device.

[0072] As Figures 2 - 4 shown, the first cover plate 3 is fixedly arranged at the splicing seam, gap or overlapping part structure between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The first cover plate 3 can be selectively connected to the first rear plate 11 or the second rear plate 12, or simultaneously connected to the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 to realize the fixation of the first cover plate 3. Specifically, the first cover plate 3 and the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12 can be connected by snap connection, that is, the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12 is provided with a snap 32, and the first cover plate 3 is provided with a snap hole, and the snap 32 is in snap fit with the snap hole, or the first cover plate 3 is provided with a snap 32, and the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12 is provided with a first snap hole 13, and the snap 32 is in snap fit with the first snap hole 13.

[0073] Combined with Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 shown in the embodiment, the first cover plate 3 is provided with a snap 32, and the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12 is provided with a first snap hole 13, which can cover the complex snap 32 structure inside the first cover plate 3, making the appearance surface at the rear side of the rear plate assembly 100 cleaner and more beautiful and improving the aesthetics of the rear plate assembly 100.

[0074] In order to further improve the stability of the setting of the first cover plate 3, the first cover plate 3 and the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12 can also be connected by fasteners. Specifically, as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, a first connection hole 33 is provided on the first cover plate 3, and a first mating hole 14 is provided on the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12. The first connection hole 33 corresponds to the first mating hole 14 in position and both are mated with a first fastener. By the first fastener, the first cover plate 3 is more tightly fixedly connected to the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the overall structure of the rear plate assembly 100.

[0075] Further, in some embodiments, the first cover plate 3 is connected to the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12 through the snap-fit connection between the snap 32 and the first snap hole 13 and the first fastener passes through the first connection hole 33 and is fastened to the first mating hole 14. At this time, the snap-fit connection between the snap 32 and the first snap hole 13 can be first used to realize the pre-connection and pre-positioning before the first cover plate 3 is installed on the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12, and then the first fastener passes through the first connection hole 33 and the first mating hole 14 to realize the fastening connection between the first cover plate 3 and the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12.

[0076] Thus, while ensuring the connection stability between the first cover plate 3 and the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12, the difficulty of connection and positioning between the first cover plate 3 and the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12 can be reduced, and the production and installation efficiency of the laundry treating apparatus can be improved.

[0077] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 、 Figures 7 - 9 , the rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry treating apparatus further includes: a connecting cross beam 2, and the connecting cross beam 2 is located inside the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 and is connected to the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12.

[0078] Wherein, the inner side is the side that is farther from the appearance surface of the laundry treating apparatus in the internal structure of the laundry treating apparatus, and the outer side is the side that is closer to the appearance surface in the laundry treating apparatus. The rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry treating apparatus is provided at the rear side of the laundry treating apparatus. The inner sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 are also the front sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and the outer sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 are the rear sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12.

[0079] The first cover plate 3 is provided at the rear sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, that is, the outer sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and constitutes a part of the appearance of the rear plate assembly 100.

[0080] The connecting cross beam 2 is arranged inside the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, that is, on the front side of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and also forms part of the frame structure of the laundry treatment device at the same time. Relying on the high-strength frame structure of the laundry treatment device, the connecting cross beam 2 has high strength and can be used to connect and support the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 of the laundry treatment device to ensure the stability of the rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry treatment device.

[0081] Among them, as Figure 1 , Figures 7 - 9 shown, the outer side of the connecting cross beam 2 has a positioning portion 21. The outer side of the connecting cross beam 2, that is, the side of the connecting cross beam 2 close to the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The positioning portion 21 can play the functions of pre-positioning and pre-supporting the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 before installing the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, ensuring the accurate setting position and accurate assembly of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0082] Among them, as Figures 5 - 9 shown, at least one of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, or there is an avoidance portion 15 between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The positioning portion 21 passes through the avoidance portion 15. Among them, a concave notch is formed at the bottom edge of the first rear plate 11, and the avoidance portion 15 is defined between the concave notch and the top edge of the second rear plate 12. There is an opening on the second rear plate 12, and the opening formed on the second rear plate 12 defines the avoidance portion 15.

[0083] Before installing the first rear plate 11, first align the positioning portion 21 with the concave notch formed at the bottom edge of the first rear plate 11, and the first rear plate 11 can be supported on the positioning portion 21, and then install the first rear plate 11 on the laundry treatment device. Before installing the second rear plate 12, first pass the positioning portion 21 through the opening formed on the second rear plate 12, and the second rear plate 12 can be hung on the positioning portion 21, and then install the second rear plate 12 on the laundry treatment device.

[0084] Thus, the positioning portion 21 protrudes from the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. During the installation process, the protruding positioning portion 21 will scratch the personnel and affect the safety during the installation process.

[0085] For this reason, in the embodiment of the present utility model, a structure for hiding the positioning portion 21 is also designed on the first cover plate 3 to hide the positioning portion 21 inside the smooth and flat first cover plate 3, avoiding scratching the installers and improving the safety during the installation process.

[0086] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 ,Figure 11 , Figures 1 - 17 In the illustrated embodiment, one side of the first cover plate 3 facing the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 has a convex portion 35. The convex portion 35 defines a concave portion 34 with an opening facing the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The convex portion 35 is used to make up for the height difference of the stepped surface 36 formed on the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The stepped surface 36 is as shown in Figure 19 so that the outer appearance of the first cover plate 3 is flat, improving the aesthetic appearance of the rear plate assembly 100.

[0087] Furthermore, corresponding to the convex portion, a concave portion 34 is formed on the inner side of the first cover plate 3, and the positioning portion 21 is arranged in the concave portion 34. That is to say, the positioning portion 21 can be hidden by the first cover plate 3 in the concave portion 34 formed on the inner side of the first cover plate 3, avoiding scratching the installer and improving the safety during the installation process.

[0088] A part of the wall body of the first cover plate 3 is spaced from the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. A convex portion 35 is provided between this part of the wall body and the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. A concave portion 34 is formed inside the convex portion 35. That is to say, one side of the convex portion 35 facing the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 is recessed to form the concave portion 34. Among them, the convex portion 35 is used to make up for the height difference of the stepped surface 36 formed up and down on the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, so that the outer side of the first cover plate 3 is flat and the aesthetic appearance is improved. The positioning portion 21 is arranged in the concave portion 34. That is to say, the positioning portion 21 can be hidden by the first cover plate 3 in the concave portion 34 formed on the inner side of the first cover plate 3, avoiding scratching the installer and improving the safety during the installation process.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first cover plate 3 can cover all the splicing seams, gaps or overlapping structures between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. At this time, the rear plate assembly 100 may only include the first cover plate 3. In other embodiments, referring to Figures 1 - 4 , the first cover plate 3 can only cover a part of the splicing seams, gaps or overlapping structures between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. At this time, the rear plate assembly 100 includes the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5, and the second cover plate 5 is used to cover the remaining splicing seams, gaps or overlapping structures between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 that are not covered by the first cover plate 3.

[0090] Specifically, the rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry treatment device further includes a second cover plate 5, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second cover plate 5 is arranged outside one end of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 adjacent to each other, and the length direction of the first cover plate 3 extends along the width direction of the first rear plate 11 / the second rear plate 12 to cover the joint seam, gap or overlap structure between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 extending along the width direction of the first rear plate 11 / the second rear plate 12. And the second cover plate 5 is arranged close to one end of the first cover plate 3 in the length direction to ensure that the second cover plate 5 can cover the remaining part of the joint seam, gap or overlap structure that the first cover plate 3 fails to cover.

[0091] In order to ensure the integrity of the gap between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 and to cover a portion of the edge of the first cover plate 3, and to further improve the aesthetics of the rear plate assembly 100, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 At least a portion of the structure of the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 is overlapped, and the overlapped portion can better cover the joint seam, gap or overlap structure between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and at the same time cover part of the edge structure of the first cover plate 3, ensuring that the joint seam, gap or edge structure between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 cannot be seen from any angle, thereby further improving the aesthetics.

[0092] The second cover plate 5 can be selectively connected to the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12 to fix the second cover plate 5, so as to ensure the stability of the second cover plate 5 by relying on the high-strength structure of the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12.

[0093] Specifically, combined Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 18 A second connecting hole 51 is provided on the second cover plate 5, and a second matching hole 16 is provided on the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12. The second connecting hole 51 corresponds to the second matching hole 16 in position and both cooperate with the second fastener. The second fastener is used to more tightly fix the second cover plate 5 and the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the overall structure of the rear plate assembly 100.

[0094] In other embodiments, the second cover plate 5 may also be connected to the first cover plate 3, which is not limited here.

[0095] The second cover plate 5 also has the function of covering part of the water pipe 41 and the water flow structure 42. The water flow structure 42 is complex and is directly exposed to the outside of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, which is not conducive to improving the aesthetics of the appearance of the rear plate assembly 100. Covering the water flow structure 42 in the second cover plate 5 is conducive to improving the aesthetics of the rear plate assembly 100 of the clothing processing device.

[0096] Specifically,Figure 11 and Figure 18 As shown in Figure 18 , a receiving cavity 6 is defined between the second cover plate 5, the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The receiving cavity 6 can be used to accommodate the water passing structure 42, a part of the structure on one side edge in the length direction of the first cover plate 3, and a part of the structure of the water pipe 41. The water pipe 41 fixed on the first cover plate 3 can be connected to the water passing structure 42 in the receiving cavity 6.

[0097] Further, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , a water pipe hole 112 for communicating the inside and the outside of the first rear plate 11 is formed on the first rear plate 11. The water pipe 41 passes through the water pipe hole 112 and is connected to the water passing structure 42. The second rear plate 12 can simultaneously shield the water pipe hole 112 formed on the first rear plate 11 and a part of the water pipe 41 passing through the water pipe hole 112 and connected to the water passing structure 42. Thus, the setting of the second cover plate 5 makes the appearance on the outside of the rear plate assembly 100 neater and more beautiful, improving the aesthetic degree of the laundry treatment device.

[0098] As Figure 1 and Figure 18 shown, in order to facilitate the communication between the structure arranged in the receiving cavity 6 and the structure arranged outside the receiving cavity 6, there is a gap between at least one of the first rear plate 11, the second rear plate 12 and the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 to allow the water passing structure 42 or the water pipe 41 to pass through.

[0099] Furthermore, the water passing structure 42 is connected to the second rear plate 12 to realize the fixation of the water passing structure 42 and the water pipe 41. While ensuring the stability of the setting of the water passing structure 42, it ensures that the water pipe 41 is stably arranged on the rear plate assembly 100, avoiding damage to the water pipe 41 caused by the water pipe 41 detaching from the rear plate assembly 100.

[0100] Specifically, referring to Figure 12 , a third connection hole 421 is formed on the water passing structure 42. As Figure 6 shown, a third mating hole 122 is formed on the second rear plate 12. The third connection hole 421 and the third mating hole 122 are in corresponding positions and are both mated with a third fastener. The water passing structure 42 and the second rear plate 12 are tightly and fixedly connected through the third fastener, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the setting of the water passing structure 42 and the water pipe 41.

[0101] Further, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 12 , a hook 422 is arranged on the water passing structure 42, and a second engaging hole 123 is arranged on the second rear plate 12. The hook 422 and the second engaging hole 123 are engaged and mated. Thus, the water passing structure 42 can be conveniently connected to the second rear plate 12 through the engaging and mating of the hook 422 and the second engaging hole 123, simplifying the installation steps.

[0102] In some embodiments, the water passage structure 42 is connected to the second rear plate 12 through the snap - fit connection between the hook 422 and the second snap - hole 123 and the third fastener passes through the third connection hole 421 and is fastened to the third mating hole 122. At this time, the snap - fit connection between the hook 422 and the second snap - hole 123 can be used to achieve pre - connection and pre - positioning before the water passage structure 42 is installed on the second rear plate 12, and then the third fastener passes through the third connection hole 421 and the third mating hole 122 to achieve the fastening connection between the water passage structure 42 and the second rear plate 12.

[0103] Thus, while ensuring the connection stability between the water passage structure 42 and the second rear plate 12, the difficulty of connecting and positioning between the water passage structure 42 and the second rear plate 12 can be reduced, and the production and installation efficiency of the laundry treatment device can be improved.

[0104] Referring to Figure 3 , the water passage structure 42 is a tee structure, and the tee structure is adapted to communicate with the drain pipes of the first laundry treatment module and the second laundry treatment module and the main water pipe 41.

[0105] Furthermore, the outer side of the first rear plate 11 has a first convex portion 111, and a concave portion 34 corresponding to the inner side of the first rear plate 11 is used to accommodate the internal structure of the first laundry treatment module. The outer side of the second rear plate 12 has a second convex portion 121, and a concave portion 34 corresponding to the inner side of the second rear plate 12 is used to accommodate the internal structure of the second laundry treatment module.

[0106] In order to make better use of the space inside the laundry treatment device and avoid the setting of the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 affecting the size of the laundry treatment device in the front - to - back direction, both the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 are arranged between the first convex portion 111 and the second convex portion 121.

[0107] Referring to Figure 3 , a water pipe 41 is provided on the outer periphery of the second convex portion 121, and there is a space for accommodating the water pipe 41 between the first convex portion 111 and the second convex portion 121 to avoid the setting of the water pipe 41 and the water passage structure 42 affecting the size of the laundry treatment device in the front - to - back direction.

[0108] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , the drain pipe of the first treatment module passes through the water pipe 41 opening provided on the first side in the width direction at the bottom of the first rear plate 11 to communicate the first laundry treatment module and the water passage structure 42. The drain pipe of the second treatment module passes through the water pipe 41 opening provided on the second side in the width direction at the bottom of the second rear plate 12 to communicate the second laundry treatment module and the water passage structure 42. The water pipe 41 opening provided on the first rear plate 11 is relatively close to the water passage structure 42, and the drain pipe of the first treatment module can be directly connected to the water passage structure 42. The water pipe 41 opening provided on the second rear plate 12 is relatively far from the water passage structure 42, and a relatively long water pipe 41 is required to connect the two.

[0109] Therefore, the arrangement of the water pipe 41 should try to avoid occupying more space inside the clothing processing device. Therefore, the water pipe 41 connected between the water pipe 41 outlet of the second rear plate 12 and the water flow structure 42 is arranged around the second protrusion 121, wherein part of the water pipe 41 is arranged at the joint between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, located between the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 121, and fixed by the pipe clamp 31 on the first cover plate 3.

[0110] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figures 7 - 9 The rear plate assembly 100 of the clothing processing device further includes: a connecting beam 2 , which is located on the inner side of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 and is connected to the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 .

[0111] The inner side is the side of the internal structure of the laundry processing device that is farther from the appearance of the laundry processing device, and the outer side is the side of the laundry processing device that is closer to the appearance. The rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry processing device is arranged at the rear side of the laundry processing device, the inner side of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 is also the front side of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and the outer side of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 is the rear side of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12.

[0112] The first cover plate 3 is disposed on the rear side of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 , that is, on the outer side of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 , and constitutes a part of the appearance of the rear plate assembly 100 .

[0113] The connecting beam 2 is arranged on the inner side of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, that is, the front side of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and also forms a part of the frame structure of the clothing processing device. The connecting beam 2 relies on the high-strength frame structure of the clothing processing device and has high strength. It can be used to connect and support the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 of the clothing processing device to ensure the stability of the rear plate assembly 100 of the clothing processing device.

[0114] Among them, Figure 1 , Figures 7 - 9 As shown, the outer side of the connecting beam 2 has a positioning portion 21, and the outer side of the connecting beam 2 is also the side of the connecting beam 2 close to the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The positioning portion 21 can pre-position and pre-support the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 before installing the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, thereby ensuring that the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 are accurately positioned and assembled, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0115] Among them, Figures 5 - 9As shown, at least one of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, or there is an avoidance portion 15 between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The positioning portion 21 passes through the avoidance portion 15. Among them, a notch that is recessed upward is formed at the bottom edge of the first rear plate 11, and the avoidance portion 15 is defined between the notch and the top edge of the second rear plate 12. There is an opening on the second rear plate 12, and the opening formed on the second rear plate 12 defines the avoidance portion 15.

[0116] Before installing the first rear plate 11, first align the positioning portion 21 with the notch that is recessed upward at the bottom edge of the first rear plate 11, and the first rear plate 11 can be supported on the positioning portion 21, and then install the first rear plate 11 on the laundry treatment device. Before installing the second rear plate 12, first pass the positioning portion 21 through the opening formed on the second rear plate 12, and the second rear plate 12 can be hung on the positioning portion 21, and then install the second rear plate 12 on the laundry treatment device.

[0117] Thus, the positioning portion 21 protrudes from the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. During the installation process, the protruding positioning portion 21 will scratch the personnel, affecting the safety during the installation process.

[0118] Therefore, the second cover plate 5 of the embodiment of the present invention covers the positioning portion 21. Specifically, the positioning portion 21 is hidden in the accommodation cavity 6 of the second cover plate 5 to hide the positioning portion 21 inside the smooth and flat second cover plate 5, avoiding scratching the installer and improving the safety during the installation process.

[0119] Next, a specific embodiment of the rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry treatment device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0120] The rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry treatment device includes: a connecting cross beam 2, a first rear plate 11, a second rear plate 12, a first cover plate 3, a second cover plate 5, a water pipe 41 and a water passing structure 42.

[0121] The laundry treatment device includes a first laundry treatment module and a second laundry treatment module. The first laundry treatment module and the second laundry treatment module are stacked, and they respectively perform different laundry treatment functions. Among them, the first laundry treatment module is arranged above the second laundry treatment module.

[0122] A corresponding rear plate is provided at the rear side of the first laundry treatment module and the second laundry treatment module respectively. Specifically, the first rear plate 11 is provided at the rear of the first laundry treatment module, and the second rear plate 12 is provided at the rear of the second laundry treatment module. That is to say, the laundry treatment device includes two juxtaposed rear plates, and there is a gap at the splicing position between the two rear plates. The first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 are used to cover the gap between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, improving the aesthetic appearance of the rear structure of the laundry treatment device, and covering the burr-edge parts of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 with the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5, avoiding the burrs from causing harm to personnel during the installation process.

[0123] Furthermore, the outer side of the first rear plate 11 has a first convex part 111, and a concave part 34 is correspondingly provided inside the first rear plate 11 for accommodating the internal structure of the first laundry treatment module. The outer side of the second rear plate 12 has a second convex part 121, and a concave part 34 is correspondingly provided inside the second rear plate 12 for accommodating the internal structure of the second laundry treatment module.

[0124] In order to make better use of the space inside the laundry treatment device and avoid the settings of the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 from affecting the size of the laundry treatment device in the front-rear direction, both the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 are provided between the first convex part 111 and the second convex part 121.

[0125] The length direction of the first cover plate 3 extends along the width direction of the first rear plate 11 / second rear plate 12, enabling the first cover plate 3 to better cover the gap between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, covering a longer gap while using less space. The first cover plate 3 is provided on one side in the length direction of the gap, and the second cover plate 5 is provided on the other side in the length direction of the gap. The second cover plate 5 is provided on the outer side of one end where the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 are adjacent to each other to cover the remaining part of the gap. At least a part of the structures of the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 are overlapped, and the overlapped part can better cover the gap and at the same time cover a part of the structure at the edge of the first cover plate 3, ensuring that the gap between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 cannot be seen from all angles, further improving the aesthetic appearance.

[0126] The first cover plate 3 is simultaneously connected to both the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 to achieve the fixation of the first cover plate 3. The connection between the first cover plate 3 and the second rear plate 12 is achieved through the snap-fit connection between the snap 32 and the first snap hole 13, and at the same time, the first cover plate 3 is fixedly connected to both the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 by a first fastener passing through the first connection hole 33 and the first mating hole 14.

[0127] Specifically, the first cover plate 3 can first realize the pre-connection and pre-positioning of the first cover plate 3 before being installed on the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 by means of the snap-fit of the snap 32 and the first snap hole 13, and then further realize the fastening connection between the first cover plate 3 and the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 by passing a first fastener through the first connection hole 33 and the first mating hole 14. Thus, while ensuring the connection stability between the first cover plate 3 and the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12, the difficulty of connection and positioning between the first cover plate 3 and the first rear plate 11 and / or the second rear plate 12 can be reduced, and the production and installation efficiency of the laundry treatment device can be improved.

[0128] The second cover plate 5 is connected to the first rear plate 11 to fix the second cover plate 5, and rely on the high-strength structure of the first rear plate 11 to ensure the stability of the setting of the second cover plate 5.

[0129] Specifically, the second cover plate 5 is provided with a second connection hole 51, and the first rear plate 11 is provided with a second mating hole 16. The positions of the second connection hole 51 and the second mating hole 16 correspond to each other and are both matched with the second fastener. By the second fastener, the second cover plate 5 and the first rear plate 11 are more tightly fixedly connected, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the overall structure of the rear plate assembly 100.

[0130] The first cover plate 3 also integrates the function of fixing the water pipe 41. Specifically, a pipe clip 31 is provided on the side of the first cover plate 3 facing away from the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 for fixing the water pipe 41. The number of pipe clips 31 provided on the first cover plate 3 is multiple, and the multiple pipe clips 31 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the first cover plate 3 to better fix the water pipe 41 and make the layout of the water pipe 41 stable on the rear plate assembly 100. Since the pipe clip 31 is directly integrally formed with the first cover plate 3, the pipe clip 31 is arranged on the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 while installing the first cover plate 3, without separately arranging the pipe clip 31, which simplifies the installation process of fixing the water pipe 41 and reduces the installation cost of the laundry treatment device.

[0131] The second cover plate 5 also has the function of covering part of the water pipe 41 and the water passing structure 42. The water passing structure 42 is complex and directly exposed outside the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, which is not conducive to improving the aesthetic appearance of the rear plate assembly 100. Covering the water passing structure 42 inside the second cover plate 5 is beneficial to improving the aesthetic appearance of the rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry treatment device.

[0132] A receiving cavity 6 is defined between the second cover plate 5 and the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The receiving cavity 6 can be used to accommodate the water passing structure 42, part of the structure on one side edge in the length direction of the first cover plate 3, and part of the structure of the water pipe 41. The water pipe 41 fixed on the first cover plate 3 can be connected to the water passing structure 42 in the receiving cavity 6.

[0133] A water pipe 41 is disposed on the outer periphery of the second protrusion 121 and a space for accommodating the water pipe 41 is provided between the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 121 to prevent the arrangement of the water pipe 41 and the water flow structure 42 from affecting the dimensions of the laundry processing device in the front-to-back direction.

[0134] Specifically, the water flow structure 42 is a three-way structure, which is suitable for connecting with the drain pipes of the first clothing processing module and the second clothing processing module and the main water pipe 41. The drain pipe of the first processing module passes through the water pipe 41 opening opened on the first side in the width direction of the bottom of the first rear plate 11, connecting the first clothing processing module and the water flow structure 42. The second rear plate 12 can also cover the water pipe hole 112 opened on the first rear plate 11 and the part of the water pipe 41 connected to the water flow structure 42 through the water pipe hole 112. Therefore, the setting of the second cover plate 5 makes the appearance of the outer side of the rear plate assembly 100 more neat and beautiful, thereby improving the aesthetics of the clothing processing device.

[0135] The drain pipe of the second processing module passes through the water pipe 41 opening opened on the second side in the width direction of the bottom of the second rear plate 12, and is connected to the second clothing processing module and the water flow structure 42. The water pipe 41 opening opened on the first rear plate 11 is close to the water flow structure 42, and the drain pipe of the first processing module can be directly connected to the water flow structure 42. The water pipe 41 opening opened on the second rear plate 12 is far away from the water flow structure 42, and the two need to be connected through a longer water pipe 41.

[0136] Therefore, the arrangement of the water pipe 41 should try to avoid occupying more space inside the clothing processing device. Therefore, the water pipe 41 connected between the water pipe 41 outlet of the second rear plate 12 and the water flow structure 42 is arranged around the second protrusion 121, wherein part of the water pipe 41 is arranged at the joint between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, located between the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 121, and fixed by the pipe clamp 31 on the first cover plate 3.

[0137] In order to facilitate the communication between the structure arranged in the accommodating cavity 6 and the structure arranged outside the accommodating cavity 6, a gap is provided between the first rear plate 11, the second rear plate 12 and at least one of the first cover plate 3 and the second cover plate 5 to allow a water structure 42 or a water pipe 41 to pass through.

[0138] The water-passing structure 42 and the second rear plate 12 are connected by the snap-fit connection between the hook 422 and the second hole 123 and the third fastener passes through the third connecting hole 421 and the third matching hole 122 to be fastened together. At this time, the snap-fit connection between the hook 422 and the second hole 123 can be first used to realize the pre-connection and pre-positioning of the water-passing structure 42 before it is installed on the second rear plate 12, and then the third fastener passes through the third connecting hole 421 and the third matching hole 122 to realize the fastened connection between the water-passing structure 42 and the second rear plate 12.

[0139] Thus, while ensuring the connection stability between the water passage structure 42 and the second rear plate 12, the difficulty of connecting and positioning between the water passage structure 42 and the second rear plate 12 can be reduced, and the production and installation efficiency of the laundry treating apparatus can be improved.

[0140] The rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry treating apparatus further includes: a connecting cross beam 2, which is located inside the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 and is connected to the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12.

[0141] Herein, the inner side is the side that is farther from the appearance surface of the laundry treating apparatus in the internal structure of the laundry treating apparatus, and the outer side is the side that is closer to the appearance surface in the laundry treating apparatus. The rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry treating apparatus is provided at the rear side of the laundry treating apparatus. The inner sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 are the front sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and the outer sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 are the rear sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12.

[0142] The first cover plate 3 is provided at the rear sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, that is, the outer sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and constitutes a part of the appearance of the rear plate assembly 100.

[0143] The connecting cross beam 2 is provided at the inner sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, that is, the front sides of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and also simultaneously forms a part of the frame structure of the laundry treating apparatus. The connecting cross beam 2 relies on the high-strength frame structure of the laundry treating apparatus and has relatively high strength, and can be used to connect and support the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 of the laundry treating apparatus to ensure the stability of the setting of the rear plate assembly 100 of the laundry treating apparatus.

[0144] Herein, the outer side of the connecting cross beam 2 has a positioning portion 21. The outer side of the connecting cross beam 2 is the side of the connecting cross beam 2 close to the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The positioning portion 21 can play the functions of pre-positioning and pre-supporting the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12 before installing the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, ensuring the accurate setting position and accurate assembly of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0145] Herein, at least one of the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12, or there is an avoidance portion 15 between the first rear plate 11 and the second rear plate 12. The positioning portion 21 passes through the avoidance portion 15. Herein, a concave opening that is recessed upward is formed at the bottom edge of the first rear plate 11, and the avoidance portion 15 is defined between the concave opening and the top edge of the second rear plate 12. There is an opening on the second rear plate 12, and the opening formed on the second rear plate 12 defines the avoidance portion 15.

[0146] Before installing the first rear panel 11, first align the positioning portion 21 with a notch formed at the bottom edge of the first rear panel 11 and recessed upward, and the first rear panel 11 can be supported on the positioning portion 21. Then, install the first rear panel 11 on the laundry treatment device.
