For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; and direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , is a cabinet 1 of a clothing care machine according to an embodiment of the present application. A care cavity is formed inside the cabinet 1, and a cabinet door (not shown in the figure) is also provided at the open part of the cabinet 1 to ensure that the care environment is closed and improve the care effect.

[0033] Furthermore, if Figure 1As shown, a drain hole 110 is provided on the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet 1 for draining condensed water from the care cavity. A condensed water recovery device (not shown) is also connected to the bottom of the cabinet 1 and is connected to and communicates with the drain hole 110. The condensed water recovery device is used to collect condensed water discharged from the drain hole 110.

[0034] The side panels of the cabinet 1 are connected to the bottom panel 11 via an arcuate connection surface, effectively directing condensed water from the inner walls of the side panels to the bottom wall. Furthermore, the bottom wall is provided with a diversion slope that slopes from the side closest to the rear side panel toward the drain hole 110. This diversion slope guides condensed water flowing through the side panels and bottom wall directly to the drain hole 110, ensuring smooth drainage and preventing water accumulation.

[0035] Furthermore, a guide member 13 is provided on the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet 1 and is installed near the opening. The surface of the guide member 13 forms a guide surface 130 which can effectively guide the condensed water flowing from the opening of the bottom plate 11 to the drain hole 110.

[0036] Specifically, one end of the guide member 13 directly extends into the drainage hole 110. This design can eliminate the gap between the guide member 13 and the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet 1, greatly reducing the risk of water leakage.

[0037] For example, in a traditional design, the gap between the guide member 13 and the bottom plate 11 may cause the condensed water to leak during the diversion process, and flow out of the gap and drip onto the floor, affecting the user experience.

[0038] By extending one end of the guide member 13 directly to the drain hole 110, this gap is effectively eliminated, forming a seamless diversion path. This seamless design also helps water flow directly through the guide member 13 into the drain hole 110, improving the drainage efficiency of the system.

[0039] Furthermore, when the cabinet door is closed, its lower end surface fits tightly against the guide member 13, ensuring that the condensed water can flow smoothly from the inner wall of the cabinet door to the guide member 13, and quickly enter the drainage hole 110 through the guidance of the guide member 13, ensuring that the condensed water will not stagnate in the cabinet body 1 or drip along the edge of the door body.

[0040] In summary, by optimizing the connection between the guide member 13 and the drain hole 110, water leakage can be effectively reduced. At the same time, the close connection between the cabinet door and the guide member 13 ensures that condensed water can flow smoothly from the inner wall of the cabinet door to the guide member 13 without dripping through the gap.

[0041] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2A support portion 12 is further provided in the cabinet body 1 . The support portion 12 is provided near the opening of the cabinet body 1 and is used to support the flow guide member 13 .

[0042] In the design of the clothing care machine, the structure of the support portion 12 and the design of the drainage hole 110 can be implemented in different ways to adapt to different manufacturing and usage requirements.

[0043] In one practicable manner, the support portion 12 is designed as an independent component. This design has the advantage that the connection between the support portion 12 and the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet body 1 is flexible.

[0044] Specifically, the support portion 12 is connected to the base plate 11 near the edge of the opening, and together they form a closed discharge hole. This structural design allows the shape, size, and position of the support portion 12 to be relatively independent, facilitating adjustment and optimization. The independent component design also allows the support portion 12 to be individually removed and replaced during equipment maintenance, minimizing the impact on the entire cabinet 1. Furthermore, the independent support portion 12 can be designed with different materials or surface treatments to improve its corrosion resistance and durability.

[0045] In another possible implementation, the support portion 12 and the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet body 1 are designed as an integrated structure, the two being integrated into a whole, and the drainage hole 110 is opened on the bottom plate 11. This design reduces the need for separation and connection of components, simplifies the manufacturing and installation process, and also enhances the strength and stability of the structure.

[0046] Furthermore, the guide member 13 is snap-connected to the support portion 12. This snap-connection ensures a secure connection between the guide member 13 and the support portion 12. This connection helps to enhance the stability of the connection between the guide member 13 and the support portion 12, ensuring that the guide member 13 does not move during operation, thereby effectively guiding the water flow.

[0047] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 and 3 The flow guide 13 includes a first side plate 131, a second side plate 132, and a third side plate 133, which are connected in sequence. The first side plate 131 and the third side plate 133 are located at opposite ends of the second side plate 132. The upper surface of the first side plate 131 is an inclined surface, which slopes from the side closest to the opening toward the drainage hole 110. The first side plate 131, the second side plate 132, and the third side plate 133 together enclose a clamping space with an opening.

[0048] The support portion 12 fits into the engagement space of the flow guide 13 through the opening of the engagement space, achieving a secure engagement between the two. Specifically, the first side plate 131 of the flow guide 13 fits against the outer wall of the support portion 12, while the third side plate 133 fits against the inner wall of the support portion 12. The inner wall of the support portion 12 also forms part of the inner wall of the drain hole 110. Therefore, the flow guide 13 extends into the drain hole 110 through the third side plate 133 and guides the water directly into the drain hole 110.

[0049] Furthermore, a first clamping portion 1310 is connected to a surface of the first side plate 131 facing the clamping space, and a second clamping portion 1330 is connected to a surface of the third side plate 133 facing the clamping space.

[0050] The installation process of the deflector 13 is relatively simple. The user only needs to gently insert or push to engage the first engaging portion 1310 on the first side plate 131 with the lower end surface of the support portion 12. Simultaneously, the second engaging portion 1330 on the third side plate 133 also engages with the lower end surface of the support portion 12. Through this simple operation, the deflector 13 can be firmly fixed to the support portion 12, forming a stable overall structure.

[0051] This clamping method helps to improve the connection strength between the guide member 13 and the support portion 12, and prevents the guide member 13 from falling off due to vibration or other forces.

[0052] In a specific implementation, the first clamping portion 1310 and the second clamping portion 1330 may be a plurality of clamping protrusions provided on the inner walls of the first side plate 131 and the third side plate 133. Figure 3 The clamping protrusion has a guide surface to facilitate the smooth progress of the clamping process.

[0053] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 and 4 The support portion 12 is provided with a limiting hole 120 adapted to the limiting portion 1320 , and the inner surface of the second side plate 132 facing the clamping space is connected to the limiting portion 1320 , and the limiting portion 1320 is inserted into the limiting hole 120 .

[0054] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the inner surface of the second side plate 132 of the flow guide 13 facing the engaging space is provided with a plurality of protruding ribs, which are spaced apart along the inner surface of the second side plate 132. The surface where the support portion 12 connects to the second side plate 132 also has a plurality of limiting holes 120, which match the shape of the ribs.

[0055] When the guide member 13 is attached to the support portion 12, the ribs are precisely inserted into the corresponding limiting holes 120. The structure of the ribs and the limiting holes 120 not only simplifies the installation operation, but also achieves a stable connection between the guide member 13 and the support portion 12.

[0056] In one embodiment, the clothing care machine further includes a connector 14, which is fixed to the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet 1 and is located at the drain hole 110. The main function of the connector 14 is to connect to a condensed water recovery device to drain the condensed water in the care cavity from the drain hole 110 to the condensed water recovery device for collection and treatment.

[0057] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The connecting piece 14 is a frame with a through hole, and the frame portion of the frame is respectively connected between the main body of the bottom plate 11 of the cabinet body 1 and the support portion 12. In order to ensure the stability of the connection, a groove 121 is provided on the surface of the bottom plate 11 and the support portion 12 of the cabinet body 1 facing the connecting piece 14. A water baffle 142 is provided on the connecting piece 14, which protrudes from its surface. The water baffle 142 is embedded in the groove 121 to ensure that it will not move at will during use. This can not only enhance the stability of the connection, but also effectively prevent the overflow of condensed water when the condensed water flows through the connecting frame from the drain hole 110, avoiding potential leakage problems.

[0058] To further enhance the stability of the connection, connector 14 is threadedly connected to the base plate 11 and support 12. This threaded connection significantly enhances the stability between connector 14 and other components of the equipment, ensuring that the entire condensate drainage system maintains efficient and reliable operation over long-term use.

[0059] Specifically, first, the threaded connection provides greater mechanical strength and stability, effectively resisting the effects of external forces or equipment vibration on the connection, ensuring that connector 14 does not loosen or fall off during prolonged use. Second, the threaded connection facilitates installation and disassembly, making operation simple and reliable during equipment maintenance or component replacement. Furthermore, the threaded design allows precise control of the tightness between connector 14, base plate 11, and support portion 12 by adjusting the tightening force of the bolts, further improving the overall sealing performance and preventing condensation from leaking at the connection.

[0060] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2-4 The connecting member 14 is provided with a stopper 141 on the surface facing the flow guide 13. The stopper 141 abuts against the surface of the third side plate 133 facing the drain hole 110 to prevent the flow guide 13 from moving toward the drain hole 110.

[0061] By providing the stopper 141 , additional support and positioning can be provided for the flow guide 13 , so that the flow guide 13 is more firmly fixed in the device, thereby improving its stability and reliability.

[0062] Furthermore, a first guide surface is provided on the stopper 141 , and a second guide surface cooperating with the first guide surface is provided on the third side plate 133 .

[0063] During installation or removal, the first and second guide surfaces guide each other, making the operation smoother and more unobstructed. This design not only simplifies the installation and removal steps, but also greatly reduces the risk of component damage due to improper operation.

[0064] In addition, the presence of the guide surface further enhances the connection stability between the stopper 141 and the third side plate 133. When the guide member 13 is in operation, the first guide surface and the second guide surface fit tightly together, forming a stable support structure, effectively preventing the guide member 13 from shaking or shifting during drainage.
