[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0038] The present application provides a clothes processing device. For example, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of a clothes processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The clothes processing device 100 can be a washing machine, a dryer, a washer-dryer, etc. The clothes processing device 100 includes a door body 110 and a front door panel 120.
[0039] Among them, a lock body 130 is provided on the door body 110; the front door panel 120 is provided with a clothing delivery port 121, the door body 110 is rotatably installed on the front door panel 120, and a receiving groove 122 is provided on the front door panel 120, and a lock tongue 140 is provided in the receiving groove 122; among them, when the door body 110 closes the clothing delivery port 121, the lock body 130 is received in the receiving groove 122 and locked with the lock tongue 140, so that the door body 110 is locked to the front door panel 120.
[0040] It can be understood that the lock tongue 140 is arranged on the front door panel 120 and the lock body 130 is arranged on the door body 110. During the use of the clothing processing device 100, the lock tongue 140 is relatively stationary and does not move with the rotation of the door body 110. This reduces the risk of the lock tongue 140 injuring the user; and the lock tongue 140 is arranged in the accommodating groove 122, that is, the lock tongue 140 does not extend to the outside of the front door panel 120, further reducing the possibility of the lock tongue 140 injuring the user.
[0041] The clothing processing device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application greatly reduces the risk of the lock tongue 140 injuring the user by arranging the lock tongue 140 on the front door panel 120 and accommodating the lock tongue 140 in the receiving groove 122, thereby improving the safety of the clothing processing device 100 when in use.
[0042] Optionally, the lock body 130 is built into the door body 110; the receiving groove 122 is an annular groove disposed around the clothing inlet 121, and the door body 110 is at least partially received in the receiving groove 122 when the clothing inlet 121 is closed. Preferably, when the clothing inlet 121 is closed, the forward-facing surface of the door body 110 is flush with the forward-facing surface of the front door panel 120. This allows the lock body 130 to be built into the door body 110 while preventing the door body 110 from protruding excessively from the front door panel 120, thereby affecting the aesthetics of the clothing processing device 100.
[0043] For example, see Figure 2-Figure 4 , Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the clothes processing device provided by an embodiment of the present application in another state. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The cross-sectional view of the laundry processing apparatus along the AA direction is shown. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The cross-sectional view shown is an enlarged view of area B. The lock body 130 includes a housing 131 and a reciprocating assembly 132. The housing 131 forms a cavity 134 with an insertion port 133. The reciprocating assembly 132 is installed in the cavity 134. The lock tongue 140 is adapted to be inserted into the cavity 134 through the insertion port 133. The reciprocating assembly 132 is adapted to be subjected to external force to perform reciprocating motion and has a first state in which the lock tongue 140 is locked in the cavity 134. For example, the reciprocating assembly 132 is in the following state: Figure 2-Figure 3 The state shown is in the first state.
[0044] Optionally, the lock tongue 140 includes a rod body 141 and a protrusion 142, one end of the rod body 141 is connected to the groove wall of the accommodating groove 122, and the other end extends in the direction away from the groove bottom of the accommodating groove 122; the protrusion 142 is convexly provided on the circumferential side wall of the rod body 141; the reciprocating assembly 132 includes a clamping member 1321 and an elastic member 1322, one end of the elastic member 1322 is connected to the inner wall of the cavity 134, and the other end is connected to the clamping member 1321; when the rod body When 141 is inserted into the first relative position of the cavity 134, the clamping member 1321 is pushed away from the rod body 141 by the protrusion 142, so that the elastic member 1322 is elastically deformed. When the rod body 141 is inserted into the second relative position of the cavity 134, the clamping member 1321 and the protrusion 142 are misaligned, and the elastic member 1322 recovers its deformation to drive the clamping member 1321 to move toward the rod body 141 and block it between the protrusion 142 and the insertion port 133.
[0045] There may be multiple reciprocating components 132. Optionally, there are two reciprocating components 132, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lock tongue 140. In this way, the reliability of the lock body 130 can be improved.
[0046] In actual application, when the user is closing the door body 110, the rod body 141 is gradually inserted into the cavity 134, and the protrusion 142 moves along the insertion direction of the rod body 141; during the movement, the protrusion 142 first pushes the clamping part 1321 in the direction away from the rod body 141 until the protrusion 142 and the clamping part 1321 are misaligned and separated, and the elastic part 1322 drives the clamping part 1321 to reset due to the recovery deformation, so that the clamping part 1321 is blocked between the protrusion 142 and the insertion port 133, thereby limiting the protrusion 142 in the cavity 134, so that the lock tongue 140 is locked in the cavity 134.
[0047] Exemplarily, the elastic member 1322 includes a spring, which is retractable to move the clamping member 1321 toward or away from the rod 141. Preferably, the extension direction of the spring is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rod 141.
[0048] Optionally, the protrusion 142 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 1421 , which is suitable for abutting against the clamping member 1321 and guiding the clamping member 1321 so that the clamping member 1321 moves smoothly in a direction away from the rod body 141 . Preferably, the protrusion 142 is provided with guide slopes 1421 on both sides in the insertion and removal direction of the rod body 141; in this way, when the user needs to open the door body 110, he only needs to apply a thrust to the door body 110 away from the front door panel 120. Under the guiding action of the guide slope 1421, the protrusion 142 pushes the clamping member 1321 to move away from the rod body 141 and withdraw from between the protrusion 142 and the insertion port 133, so that the protrusion 142 is no longer blocked by the clamping member 1321, and then the rod body 141 can be smoothly pulled out of the cavity 134, so that the lock tongue 140 and the lock body 130 are unlocked, and the door body 110 is unlocked from the front door panel 120 and can be opened.
[0049] To further improve the smoothness of locking and / or unlocking the lock tongue 140 and the lock body 130, the engaging member 1321 may be provided with a guide surface 1321a facing the rod body 141. The guide surface 1321a is an arcuate surface extending along the insertion and removal direction of the rod body 141 and arched toward the rod body 141. Optionally, the guide surface 1321a may be provided as a hemispherical surface.
[0050] For example, a limiting groove can be provided on one of the inner walls of the clamping member 1321 and the cavity 134, and a limiting protrusion can be provided on the other. The limiting groove and the limiting protrusion cooperate to limit the movement range of the clamping member 1321. In this way, the structural stability of the reciprocating assembly 132 can be improved. Alternatively, the limiting groove can be provided on the inner wall of the cavity 134, and the limiting protrusion can be provided on the clamping member 1321.
[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , Figure 5The door body 110 includes an outer door ring 111 , an anti-scalding cover 112 , a decorative ring 113 , a middle door ring 114 , a door glass 115 , and an inner door ring 116 .
[0052] The door center ring 114 is adapted to be fixedly assembled with the door inner ring 116 to securely mount the door glass 115 therebetween. A decorative ring 113 is positioned in front of the door center ring 114 and fixedly mounted to the door inner ring 116, covering the door center ring 114. A scald shield 112 is mounted in front of the decorative ring 113 to insulate against high temperatures. The door outer ring 111 is fitted around the circumference of the scald shield 112, decorative ring 113, and door center ring 114 for sealing.
[0053] For example, see Figure 6-Figure 9 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the reciprocating assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application installed on the inner ring of the door. Figure 7 for Figure 6 The structural diagram shown is an enlarged view of the C area. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the reciprocating assembly and the door middle ring installed on the door inner ring provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 9 for Figure 8 The schematic diagram shows an enlarged view of area D. The door inner ring 116 defines a mounting groove 1162 with a mounting opening 1161. The reciprocating assembly 132 is adapted to be installed into the mounting groove 1162 through the mounting opening 1161. The bottom wall of the mounting groove 1162 is open to form an insertion opening 133. The door middle ring 114 cooperates with the door inner ring 116 to cover the mounting opening 1161 and define a cavity 134 with the insertion opening 133.
[0054] It should be noted that the mounting groove 1162 is directly compression-molded by the door center ring 114 during compression molding, and the cavity 134 with the insertion opening 133 is formed by the interlocking engagement of the door center ring 114 and the door inner ring 116. That is, the outer shell 131 of the lock body 130 is directly integrated with the door body 110, with a portion of the outer shell 131 formed by the door center ring 114 and another portion formed by the door inner ring 116. This not only saves on manufacturing and installation steps for the outer shell 131, but also improves the structural strength of the lock body 130 by directly integrating the outer shell 131 with the door body 110. Furthermore, this structure facilitates the installation of the reciprocating assembly 132.
[0055] In some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the assembly between the door center ring 114 and the mounting groove 1162, a snap-in slot can be provided on one of the mounting groove 1162 and the door center ring, and a snap-in clip can be provided on the other. The snap-in clip is locked in the snap-in slot to securely mount the door center ring 114 and the mounting groove 1162, so that the door center ring 114 firmly covers the mounting opening 1161. Exemplarily, the door center ring 114 is integrally formed with a cover 1141. The top wall of the cover 1141 covers the mounting opening 1161, and the circumferential sidewalls of the cover 1141 are arranged around the outer sidewalls of the mounting groove 1162. The outer sidewalls of the mounting groove 1162 are provided with a fixing snap-in clip. The circumferential sidewalls of the cover 1141 are provided with a snap-in slot, which engages with the fixing snap-in clip to secure the cover 1141.
[0056] In addition, to improve the efficiency of assembly between the door center ring 114 and the mounting groove 1162, a positioning core can be provided on one of the door center ring 114 and the door inner ring 116, and a positioning hole can be provided on the other. The positioning core is suitable for being inserted into the positioning hole to achieve positioning between the door center ring 114 and the door inner ring 116. Optionally, the positioning core is provided on the door inner ring 116, and the positioning hole is provided on the door center ring 114.
[0057] The clothing processing device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application greatly reduces the risk of the lock tongue 140 injuring the user by arranging the lock tongue 140 on the front door panel 120 and accommodating the lock tongue 140 in the receiving groove 122, thereby improving the safety of the clothing processing device 100 when in use.
