Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model discloses a clothing processing device, belonging to the technical field of clothing processing devices. Background Art

[0002] A clothes processing device is a cleaning appliance that uses electrical energy to generate mechanical action to wash clothes. It is popular because it saves time and effort in washing clothes. As technology continues to mature, the functions of various clothes processing devices have become more complete. The drum clothes processing device is especially popular among users because of its high cleaning rate, low noise, water saving, little damage to clothes during washing, the ability to wash clothes made of high-end materials such as silk, and the fact that clothes are not easy to get tangled.

[0003] Existing clothing processing devices generally include a body and a drum, with a front control panel and a control seat provided on the front side of the body, a detergent box provided on the front control panel, and a cover connected to the control seat. The front control panel is located on the upper side of the control seat, and there is a gap between the front control panel and the control seat. When the user opens the detergent box and adds detergent, the residual liquid in the detergent box is likely to splash onto the front side surface of the front control panel, and the residual liquid will slide down the front control panel to the gap between the front control panel and the control seat. Since the residual liquid has tension and the front control panel maintains contact with the control seat, the residual liquid will penetrate between the front control panel and the control seat under the action of capillary effect. This part of the residual liquid is difficult to remove, and long-term residue is likely to cause corrosion to the front control panel and the control seat, which may in turn affect the components in the body and affect the service life of the clothing processing device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the problem that residual liquid easily penetrates between the front control panel and the control seat, thereby causing corrosion to the front control panel and the control seat. For this purpose, a clothing processing device is provided, which can reduce the penetration of residual liquid between the front control panel and the control seat through water-guiding ribs, thereby reducing the possibility of corrosion of the front control panel and the control seat.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A clothing processing device includes a body, which includes a control seat and a front control panel stacked on the control seat. The control seat has a support surface that bears the weight of the front control panel. The bottom of the front control panel is provided with a downwardly extending water guide rib, and a horizontal water-isolating gap is formed between the lowest point of the water guide rib and the outer edge of the support surface.

[0007] The beneficial effects of adopting the utility model are:

[0008] The bottom of the front control plate described in the present invention is provided with a water-guiding rib, and a water-isolating gap in the horizontal direction is formed between the lowest point of the water-guiding rib and the outer edge of the supporting surface. When the residual liquid slides down the front side surface of the front control plate to the bottom, the residual liquid will adhere to the lowest point of the water-guiding rib due to its own tension, and part of the residual liquid will penetrate toward the supporting surface along the lowest point of the water-guiding rib. Since the residual liquid is at the lowest point of the water-guiding rib and there is a water-isolating gap between the water-guiding rib and the supporting surface, the residual liquid cannot spread upward along the water-guiding rib under the action of gravity, so the residual liquid cannot cross the water-isolating gap, so that the water-guiding rib can prevent the residual liquid from continuing to penetrate toward the supporting surface. The water-guiding ribs can effectively prevent the residual liquid from penetrating into the support surface, thereby helping to reduce the amount of residual liquid that penetrates between the front control panel and the control seat, reducing the possibility of the front control panel and the control seat being corroded by the residual liquid, and helping to increase the service life of the front control panel and the control seat; in addition, the lowest point of the water-guiding ribs is located outside the supporting surface. When the residual liquid drips from the lowest point of the water-guiding ribs, most of the residual liquid will drip outside the supporting surface, thereby reducing the residual liquid from dripping into the supporting surface, helping to speed up the separation of the residual liquid from the control seat, and at the same time, it can also reduce the amount of residual liquid between the front control panel and the control seat to a greater extent, reducing the possibility of the front control panel and the control seat being corroded by the residual liquid.

[0009] Preferably, the lowest point of the water guide rib is no higher than the plane of the support surface. Using the aforementioned technical solution, the water guide rib can shield the support surface, preventing the gap between the front control panel and the control base from being directly exposed to the user's field of view, thereby improving the aesthetics of the clothing processing device. It can also reduce the possibility of residual liquid dripping onto the support surface, thereby reducing the amount of residual liquid between the front control panel and the control base.

[0010] Preferably, the water barrier extends from the outer edge of the support surface to the rear side of the water guide rib. This technical solution ensures that the water barrier is located behind the water guide rib, allowing the water guide rib to shield the water barrier, preventing the water barrier from being directly exposed to the user's field of view, and thus improving the aesthetics of the clothing processing device.

[0011] Preferably, the front side of the water guide rib and the front side of the front control panel are in the same vertical plane. The above technical solution can improve the integrity of the water guide rib and the front control panel, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the front control panel.

[0012] Preferably, the rear side of the water guide rib is inclined, gradually moving away from the front side of the water guide rib from its lowest point to its highest point. With this technical solution, when a large amount of residual liquid adheres to the rear side of the water guide rib, the rear side of the water guide rib can guide the residual liquid to the lowest point of the water guide rib, thereby keeping the residual liquid away from the support surface and reducing dripping onto the support surface. This also accelerates the discharge of the residual liquid, further reducing the amount of residual liquid remaining between the front control panel and the control seat.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the front control panel is provided with a downwardly open groove, with a cavity formed between the top wall of the groove and the support surface. The rear side of the water guide rib is connected to the top wall of the groove, and the water-isolating gap is a portion of the open groove. Using the aforementioned technical solution, the groove can increase the gap between the front control panel and the control seat, and form a cavity on the upper side of the control seat. Even if residual liquid enters the top surface of the control seat, the residual liquid is unlikely to spread, effectively reducing the diffusion range of the residual liquid and significantly reducing the area of ​​the control seat that may be corroded.

[0014] Preferably, a detergent box is slidably connected to the front control panel, and one end of the water guide extends to the bottom of the detergent box. With the aforementioned technical solution, since residual liquid primarily splashes out from the detergent box, residual liquid is more likely to accumulate closer to the detergent box on the front control panel. The proximity of the water guide to the detergent box effectively reduces the amount of residual liquid that enters between the front control panel and the control base.

[0015] Preferably, a transition surface is provided between the support surface and the front side surface of the control seat, with the vertical projection of the lowest point of the water guide rib located within the transition surface. With this technical solution, residual liquid dripping from the lowest point of the water guide rib will drip directly onto the transition surface, which can guide the residual liquid downward and help expedite its discharge.

[0016] Preferably, the transition surface is an inclined surface or an outwardly convex arc surface.

[0017] Preferably, the lowest point of the rear side surface of the water guide rib coincides with the lowest point of the front side surface of the water guide rib; or, the lowest point of the rear side surface of the water guide rib is connected to the lowest point of the front side surface of the water guide rib via a connecting surface.

[0018] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be disclosed in detail in the following specific embodiments and drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Thus, a feature identified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means two or more, unless expressly limited otherwise.

[0031] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment shows a clothes processing device, including a body 1 and a drum rotatably arranged in the body 1, a front control panel 2 and a control seat 3 are provided on the front side of the body 1, a detergent box 21 and a display panel 22 are provided on the front control panel 2, a side of the control seat 3 facing the front side of the body 1 is a first front side surface 32, and a side of the front control panel 2 facing the front side of the body 1 is a second front side surface 23, the front control panel 2 is located on the upper side of the control seat 3, the front control panel 2 is superimposed on the control seat 3, the control seat 3 has a support surface for bearing the front control panel 2, the top surface of the control seat 3 is the support surface, and the bottom surface of the front control panel 2 is the bottom surface; a mounting hole 211 is provided on the second front side surface 23, the detergent box 21 is slidably mounted in the mounting hole 211, and the display panel 22 is bonded to the second front side surface 23 by glue, and a water guide rib extending downward is provided at the bottom of the front control panel 2, and a water isolation gap 27 in the horizontal direction is formed between the lowest point of the water guide rib and the outer edge of the support surface.

[0034] In this embodiment, a water guide rib is provided at the bottom of the front control panel 2, and a water-proof gap 27 is formed in the horizontal direction between the lowest point of the water guide rib and the outer edge of the support surface. When the residual liquid slides down the front side surface of the front control panel 2 to the bottom, the residual liquid will adhere to the lowest point of the water guide rib due to its own tension, and part of the residual liquid will penetrate into the support surface along the lowest point of the water guide rib. Since the residual liquid is at the lowest point of the water guide rib and there is a water-proof gap 27 between the water guide rib and the support surface, the residual liquid cannot spread upward along the water guide rib under the action of gravity, so the residual liquid cannot cross the water-proof gap 27, so that the water guide rib can prevent the residual liquid from continuing to penetrate into the support surface. The water-conducting ribs are located outside the supporting surface. When the residual liquid drips from the lowest point of the water-conducting ribs, most of the residual liquid will drip outside the supporting surface, thereby reducing the residual liquid from dripping into the supporting surface, helping to speed up the separation of the residual liquid from the control seat 3. At the same time, the amount of residual liquid between the front control panel 2 and the control seat 3 can be reduced to a greater extent, reducing the possibility of the front control panel 2 and the control seat 3 being corroded by the residual liquid.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the front control panel 2 is provided with a downwardly open groove 25, and a cavity is formed between the top wall 251 of the groove 25 and the support surface. The highest point of the rear side surface 242 of the water guide rib is connected to the top wall 251 of the groove 25, that is, the water guide rib is a part of the side wall of the groove 25, and the water guide rib is located on the side of the groove 25 close to the second front side surface 23, and the groove 25 extends to the side away from the second front side surface 23. The water-isolating gap 27 is the exposed part of the groove 25. The groove 25 can increase the gap between the front control panel 2 and the control seat 3, and form a cavity on the upper side of the control seat 3. Even if residual liquid enters the support surface of the control seat 3, the residual liquid is not easy to spread, which can effectively reduce the diffusion range of the residual liquid and significantly reduce the area of ​​the control seat 3 that may be corroded.

[0036] It should be noted that the groove 25 described in this embodiment can also extend toward the side away from the front side of the water-guiding rib, thereby greatly increasing the volume of the cavity between the top wall 251 and the support surface, so that the support surface can accommodate more residual liquid, avoiding the residual liquid from spreading to the surroundings due to the capillary effect at the contact point between the support surface and the bottom surface of the front control panel 2, thereby reducing the diffusion range of the residual liquid.

[0037] In addition, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting hole 211 of the front control panel 2 for mounting the detergent box 21 is close to the end of the front control panel 2, the display panel 22 is located on one side of the detergent box 21, and the water guide rib is located below the position of the display panel 22 in the front control panel 2, and one end of the water guide rib extends toward the detergent box 21, so that the mounting hole 211 where the water guide rib extends can make the water guide rib closer to the detergent box 21. Since the residual liquid is mainly formed by the detergent splashing out of the detergent in the detergent box 21, the closer the front control panel 2 is to the detergent box 21, the easier it is to gather the residual liquid. By setting the groove 25 on one side of the detergent box 21, the water guide rib can block more residual liquid from entering between the front control panel 2 and the control seat 3, thereby significantly reducing the residual amount of residual liquid between the front control panel 2 and the control seat 3.

[0038] It should be noted that the length of the groove 25 is less than the length of the front control panel 2, that is, the length of the water guide rib is less than the length of the front control panel 2; of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the length of the water guide rib can also be equal to the length of the front control panel 2, that is, the water guide rib is distributed along the length direction of the front control panel 2, and the water guide rib is distributed at the bottom of the entire front control panel 2.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the rear side surface 242 of the water guide rib in this embodiment is arranged to be inclined. The rear side surface 242 of the water guide rib gradually moves away from the front side surface of the water guide rib from the lowest point to the highest point. When the residual liquid in the detergent box 21 splashes onto the second front side surface 23, the residual liquid slides down along the second front side surface 23 to the lowest point. Due to the certain tension of the residual liquid itself, the residual liquid will spread along the lowest point of the water guide rib to the rear side surface 242 of the water guide rib. Since the residual liquid is at the lowest position of the water guide rib, the residual liquid cannot spread upward along the rear side surface 242 of the water guide rib under the action of gravity, thereby achieving the water-blocking effect of the water guide rib; in addition, when a lot of residual liquid adheres to the rear side surface 242 of the water guide rib, the rear side surface 242 of the water guide rib can guide the residual liquid to the lowest point of the water guide rib under the action of the rear side surface 242 of the water guide rib, so that the residual liquid is away from the support surface, reducing the residual liquid from dripping into the support surface, and at the same time accelerating the discharge of the residual liquid, further reducing the residual amount of residual liquid between the front control panel 2 and the control seat 3.

[0040] The lowest point of the water-guiding rib in this embodiment is no higher than the plane of the supporting surface, and the water-isolating gap 27 extends from the outer edge of the supporting surface to the rear side surface 242 of the water-guiding rib. The water-guiding rib can shield the supporting surface, preventing the supporting surface from being directly exposed to the user's field of vision, thereby helping to improve the aesthetics of the clothing processing device; in addition, it can also reduce the possibility of residual liquid dripping into the supporting surface, thereby reducing the amount of residual liquid between the front control panel 2 and the control seat 3.

[0041] In addition, in this embodiment, the side of the water guide rib facing the front side of the body 1 is the third front side 241. The third front side 241 and the second front side 23 are in the same vertical plane, which can improve the integrity of the water guide rib and the front control panel 2, and help improve the aesthetics of the front control panel 2; in addition, in this embodiment, there is a connecting surface of a certain width between the lowest point of the third front side 241 and the lowest point of the rear side 242 of the front control panel 2, and the lowest point of the rear side 242 of the water guide rib is connected to the lowest point of the front side of the water guide rib through the connecting surface, thereby increasing the thickness of the water guide rib, helping to enhance the strength of the water guide rib, and reducing the possibility of damage or deformation of the water guide rib.

[0042] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the lowest point of the third front side surface 241 and the lowest point of the rear side surface 242 of the front control panel 2 remain coincident.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the side of the control seat 3 facing the front side of the body 1 is a first front side surface 32. A transition surface 33 is provided between the top of the first front side surface 32 and the support surface. The transition surface 33 is an inclined surface or an outwardly convex arc surface. The vertical projection of the lowest point of the water guide rib is within the transition surface 33. After the residual liquid drips from the lowest point of the water guide rib, the residual liquid will directly drip onto the transition surface 33. The transition surface 33 can guide the residual liquid to slide down, which helps to speed up the discharge of the residual liquid.

[0044] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the first front side surface 32 may also be directly connected to the outer edge of the support surface.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the grooves 25 described in this embodiment are all outside the support surface. The grooves 25 at the bottom of the front control panel 2 can block the residual liquid from spreading along the water-guiding ribs into the support surface. The residual liquid will drip directly after spreading to the grooves 25, and the residual liquid will drip directly onto the transition surface 33 or even directly onto the first front side surface 32, thereby significantly reducing the amount of residual liquid entering the support surface and playing a significant protective role on the control seat 3.

[0047] In addition, the rear side surface 242 of the water-guiding rib in this embodiment remains parallel to the second front side surface 23, that is, the rear side surface 242 of the water-guiding rib is basically arranged vertically, which can prevent the residual liquid from continuing to spread along the rear side surface 242 of the water-guiding rib, greatly reduce the spreading distance of the residual liquid, and make the dripping position of the residual liquid farther away from the supporting surface, so that the water-guiding rib has a more obvious water-blocking effect.

[0048] In addition, the openings of the grooves 25 described in this embodiment are all water-proof gaps 27, that is, the grooves 25 are located on the outside of the support surface as a whole. This design can ensure that residual liquid is difficult to cross the water-proof gaps 27 and enter the support surface, while also increasing the contact area between the support surface and the front control panel 2, thereby enhancing the support stability of the support surface to the front control panel 2.

[0049] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the groove 25 may also extend to a side away from the second front side surface 23, that is, the projection of the top wall 251 of the groove 25 in the vertical direction is on the support surface.

[0050] Example 3:

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the groove 25 may not be provided on the bottom surface of the front control panel 2 in this embodiment, the rear side surface 242 of the water guide rib may be inclined, and the rear side surface 242 of the water guide rib gradually moves away from the second front side surface 23 from the bottom edge to the top edge, and the highest point of the rear side surface 242 extends away from the front control panel 2.

[0052] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the above specific embodiments.
