Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of clothing processing equipment, in particular to a clothing processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the field of clothing processing equipment, especially in washing and drying equipment such as washing machines, the detergent box, drying filter and other assembly parts are usually fixed to the body of the machine by snap-on connection. Although this simplifies the assembly process and reduces manufacturing costs to a certain extent, there are several technical defects that limit the further optimization of the product and the improvement of user experience.

[0003] In related technologies, when buckles are subjected to repeated opening and closing stress for a long time, they are prone to elastic fatigue and permanent deformation. This not only causes the operating force to gradually decrease, making the user feel lighter when opening or closing, and lacking the necessary damping feeling, thereby affecting the operating experience, but may also be unable to maintain a stable fixed state due to excessive deformation, and the fitting clearance increases, increasing the risk of parts falling off.

[0006] According to the clothing processing device of the present invention, by providing a locking mechanism, the assembly part can achieve a stable and reliable connection through the cooperation of the locking structure and the locking part on the fuselage. Specifically, the locking mechanism locks the assembly part to the fuselage by cooperating with the locking part relative to the fuselage. When the locking mechanism is in a locked state, the locking mechanism will closely cooperate with the locking part on the fuselage, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the assembly part and the fuselage. Compared with the snap connection in the related art, the cooperative connection method between the locking mechanism and the locking part does not rely on the elastic deformation of the snap to maintain the connection, so the connection is more reliable. By providing a trigger member, the clothing processing device realizes the fast, easy and stable installation and disassembly of the assembly part, which greatly improves the user experience and the operational safety of the equipment.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the locking mechanism includes: a locking member, which is movably arranged in the assembly part, and at least a portion of the locking member can selectively protrude from the outer surface of the assembly part and cooperate with the locking portion; wherein, at least a portion of the trigger member is accommodated in the assembly part and linked to the locking member, and the trigger member is suitable for driving the locking member to disengage from the locking portion after being triggered to unlock the assembly part from the fuselage.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the locking members are constructed as two that can selectively move toward each other, and at least one of the locking members is linked to the trigger member.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the locking mechanism further includes: a reversing member, which is arranged between the two locking members and is respectively connected to the two locking members, one end of the reversing member is connected to one of the locking members, and the other end of the reversing member drives the other locking member to move in the opposite direction.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the locking portion is configured as a locking hole, at least a portion of the locking member can selectively protrude from the surface of the assembly part and be inserted into the locking hole to lock the assembly part with the fuselage, the thickness of the locking member gradually decreases in the direction toward the end, and a guide slope is formed on the lower surface of the end of the locking member.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the reversing member includes: a rotating shaft, which is rotatably arranged in the assembly member; a transmission belt, which is wound around the rotating shaft, one end of the transmission belt is connected to one of the locking members, and the other end of the transmission belt is connected to another of the locking members.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the two locking members respectively translate in the first direction, and a connecting leg is formed at the other end of one of the locking members, the connecting leg is connected to the transmission belt, and the connecting leg extends in the second direction and the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the clothes processing device further includes: a first restoring member, which is arranged between the assembling member and the locking member.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a through trigger hole is formed on the surface of the assembly part facing away from the body, and at least a portion of the trigger member is disposed in the trigger hole. The trigger member can move toward the inside of the assembly part to drive the locking mechanism.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the trigger member includes: a flip portion, at least a portion of which is disposed in the trigger hole and is rotatably connected to the assembly member; a gear portion, which is disposed in the flip portion, and the locking member is formed with meshing teeth that cooperate with the gear portion to enable the locking member to be linked with the gear portion.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the gear portion is configured as an arc-shaped plate protruding toward the locking member, and the outer surface of the arc-shaped plate is provided with mating teeth.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the clothes processing device further includes: a second restoring member connected between the turning portion and the assembly member.

[0018] In summary, according to the clothing processing device of the embodiment of the present invention, specifically, the locking mechanism is to lock the assembly part to the fuselage by cooperating with the locking part through movement relative to the fuselage. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the locking mechanism will cooperate closely with the locking part on the fuselage, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the assembly part and the fuselage. Compared with the snap connection in the related art, the cooperative connection method between the locking mechanism and the locking part does not rely on the elastic deformation of the snap to maintain the connection, so the connection is more reliable. By providing a trigger part, the clothing processing device realizes the fast, simple and stable installation and disassembly of the assembly part, which greatly improves the user experience and the operational safety of the equipment. By constructing the locking part into two that can selectively move toward each other, the two locking parts can protrude from the opposite side surfaces of the assembly part respectively, realizing double locking from the opposite sides of the assembly part, and achieving a more stable and balanced locking effect between the assembly part and the fuselage. By providing a reversing member, when one end of the reversing member is driven to move by the locking member, the other end of the reversing member moves accordingly, driving the other locking member to move in the opposite direction of the first locking member. This allows the two locking members to move synchronously in opposite directions, thereby achieving dual locking and unlocking of the locking mechanism. This not only increases the flexibility and functionality of the locking mechanism but also improves its overall performance and reliability. The reversing member includes a rotating shaft that can rotate under the support of the assembly, allowing the rotating shaft to serve as a power transmission medium, receiving power input and converting it into rotational motion. The reversing member also includes a transmission belt. When one end of the reversing member is driven to move by the locking member, the movement is converted into rotational motion of the rotating shaft. The transmission belt drives the other locking member to move in the opposite direction of the first locking member, thereby achieving synchronous movement of the two locking members in opposite directions. By providing a first return member, the restoring force provided by the first return member allows the locking member to return to the position locking the assembly to the fuselage after unlocking, facilitating repeated installation and removal of the assembly from the fuselage. Through the trigger hole in the assembly, the user can directly trigger the trigger from the outside environment, improving user convenience while reducing direct contact between the assembly's internal structure and the external environment. The trigger comprises a flip portion and a gear portion. When the assembly is mounted on the body, the flip portion is partially or completely concealed within the trigger hole. When the flip portion is pressed by the user and rotated inwardly, the gear portion rotates accordingly, unlocking the assembly from the body. The gear portion is constructed as a curved plate that protrudes toward the locking member. As the flip portion rotates, the curved plate rotates with it. By utilizing the power of the flip portion's rotation, the curved plate's rotation converts the power into movement of the locking member, achieving efficient energy transfer and conversion. By providing a second return element, the restoring force provided by the second return element allows the flip portion to automatically return to its original locked position after unlocking. At this point, the flip portion recloses the trigger hole, facilitating further operation by the user.

Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections 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 the specific circumstances.

[0038] In related technologies, when buckles are subjected to repeated opening and closing stress for a long time, they are prone to elastic fatigue and permanent deformation. This not only causes the operating force to gradually decrease, making the user feel lighter when opening or closing, and lacking the necessary damping feeling, thereby affecting the operating experience, but may also be unable to maintain a stable fixed state due to excessive deformation, and the fitting clearance increases, increasing the risk of parts falling off.

[0039] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 A laundry treating apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, the laundry processing device 1 according to the present invention includes a body 11. Body 11 is the structural portion of the laundry processing device 1 that actually performs the washing or drying function and provides the overall framework and support of the device. Body 11 is provided with a locking portion 111 that is configured to engage with a locking mechanism on an assembly 12 to secure the assembly 12 to body 11.

[0041] The clothes treating apparatus 1 further comprises an assembly part 12 , which is movable relative to the body 11 , so that the assembly part 12 can be installed or removed from the body 11 as needed, for accessing the interior of the clothes treating apparatus 1 or serving as a functional component of the clothes treating apparatus 1 .

[0042] The clothes treating device 1 further comprises a locking mechanism, which is connected to the assembly part 12. By providing the locking mechanism, the assembly part 12 can achieve a stable and reliable connection through the cooperation of the locking structure with the locking portion 111 on the body 11.

[0043] Specifically, the locking mechanism locks the assembly 12 to the body 11 by moving relative to the body 11 and cooperating with the locking portion 111. When locked, the locking mechanism tightly engages the locking portion 111 on the body 11, ensuring a secure connection between the assembly 12 and the body 11. Compared to the snap-fit ​​connection used in related art, the locking mechanism and the locking portion 111 do not rely on the elastic deformation of the snap to maintain the connection, resulting in a more reliable connection.

[0044] The clothing processing device 1 also includes a trigger 14, which is arranged on the assembly part 12 and drives the locking mechanism and the locking part 111 to lock or unlock, so that the user can easily operate it and can quickly install and remove the assembly part 12 without complicated steps. When the user needs to fix the assembly part 12 to the body 11, he only needs to operate the trigger 14, and the trigger 14 will drive the locking mechanism to move to a position that matches the locking part 111. The locking mechanism and the locking part 111 are tightly engaged to achieve a stable locking effect. Conversely, when the user needs to remove the assembly part 12, he operates the trigger 14 again, and the trigger 14 will guide the locking mechanism to break away from the constraint of the locking part 111, thereby realizing the convenient unlocking of the assembly part 12, which not only improves the user experience, but also ensures the stability and safety of the clothing processing device 1 during operation. Therefore, according to the clothing processing device 1 of the present invention, a firm and reliable connection between the assembly part 12 and the body 11 is achieved through the cooperative connection between the locking mechanism and the locking part 111, and the convenience and safety of user operation are improved through the linkage between the trigger part 14 and the locking mechanism.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the locking mechanism includes a locking member 131, which is movably disposed within the assembly 12. When needed, the locking member 131 can protrude from the surface of the assembly 12 and engage with the locking portion 111 on the body 11, or retract into the assembly 12 when unlocked. At least a portion of the locking member 131 can selectively protrude from the outer surface of the assembly 12 and engage with the locking portion 111, thereby ensuring a secure connection between the assembly 12 and the body 11. Furthermore, at least a portion of the trigger 14 is housed within the assembly 12 and interlocks with the locking member 131. Upon triggering, the trigger 14 is adapted to disengage the locking member 131 from the locking portion 111, thereby unlocking the assembly 12 from the body 11. Specifically, when a user triggers the trigger 14, it moves the locking member 131, disengaging the locking member 131 from the locking portion 111, thereby unlocking the assembly 12 from the body 11. This allows the user to easily remove the assembly 12, simplifying operation.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the locking members 131 are configured as two members that can selectively move toward each other, i.e., the two locking members 131 can move closer to or further away from each other. The two locking members 131 can protrude from opposite sides of the assembly 12, and each locking member 131 has a corresponding locking portion 111 on the body 11, achieving dual locking from opposite sides of the assembly 12, achieving a more stable and balanced locking effect between the assembly 12 and the body 11.

[0047] At least one locking member 131 is linked to the trigger member 14. When the user triggers the trigger member 14, the trigger member 14 drives the linked locking member 131 to move. The remaining locking members 131 are indirectly driven through the linkage mechanism, so that multiple locking members 131 move simultaneously, ensuring that the locking and unlocking processes between the assembly 12 and the body 11 can be carried out in a coordinated and consistent manner.

[0048] Of course, it is understandable that the multiple locking members 131 can also be linked to the trigger member 14, and the multiple locking members 131 can be driven simultaneously directly by the movement of the trigger member 14, but this requires the trigger member 14 to have a more complex structure.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the locking mechanism further includes a reversing member 132, which is disposed between the two locking members 131 and connected to each of the two locking members 131. Thus, the reversing member 132 can interact with both locking members 131 simultaneously while in between. One end of the reversing member 132 is connected to one of the locking members 131, so that when the locking member 131 moves, the movement is directly transmitted to the reversing member 132. The other end of the reversing member 132 drives the other locking member 131 in the opposite direction. When one end of the reversing member 132 is driven to move by the locking member 131, the other end of the reversing member 132 moves accordingly, driving the other locking member 131 in the opposite direction from the first locking member 131. This allows the two locking members 131 to move synchronously in opposite directions, thereby achieving dual locking or unlocking of the locking mechanism. This not only increases the flexibility and functionality of the locking mechanism, but also improves its overall performance and reliability.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the locking portion 111 is configured as a locking hole, and at least a portion of the locking member 131 can selectively protrude from the surface of the assembly member 12 and be inserted into the locking hole to lock the assembly member 12 with the body 11. The locking member 131 is movable so as to at least partially protrude from the surface of the assembly member 12 when desired, allowing the locking member 131 to be retracted into the assembly member 12 when locking is not desired, and to be extended from the surface of the assembly member 12 and function when locking is desired.

[0051] The thickness of locking member 131 gradually decreases toward the end, reducing resistance encountered during insertion and facilitating easier insertion of locking member 131 into the locking hole. Furthermore, a guiding bevel is formed on the lower surface of the end of locking member 131, further simplifying the insertion process. As locking member 131 moves toward the locking hole, the distance between the guiding bevel and the bottom edge of the locking hole gradually decreases, effectively reducing friction between locking member 131 and the hole wall, making insertion smoother and more labor-saving.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reversing member 132 includes a rotating shaft 1321, which is rotatably arranged in the assembly 12. Therefore, the rotating shaft 1321 can rotate under the support of the assembly 12, so that the rotating shaft 1321 can serve as an intermediary for power transmission, receive power input, and convert it into rotational motion.

[0053] The reversing member 132 also includes a transmission belt 1322, which is used to transmit power. The transmission belt 1322 is wound around the rotating shaft 1321. One end of the transmission belt 1322 is connected to one of the locking members 131, and the other end of the transmission belt 1322 is connected to the other locking member 131, thereby enabling power to be transmitted between the two locking members 131. When one end of the reversing member 132 (i.e., the end of the transmission belt 1322 connected to one of the locking members 131) is driven by the locking member 131 to move, the movement is converted into rotational motion of the rotating shaft 1321. Because the transmission belt 1322 is wound around the rotating shaft 1321, the rotation of the rotating shaft 1321 further drives the overall movement of the transmission belt 1322. The other end of the transmission belt 1322 (i.e., the end connected to the other locking member 131) will move accordingly. Since the transmission belt 1322 is continuous and is wound around the rotating shaft 1321, the movement directions of the two ends of the transmission belt 1322 are opposite. The transmission belt 1322 will drive the other locking member 131 to move in the opposite direction to the first locking member 131, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of the two locking members 131 in opposite directions.

[0054] Through the cooperation between the rotating shaft 1321 and the transmission belt 1322, synchronous but opposite direction motion transmission is achieved between the two locking members 131, providing a more flexible and efficient functional implementation method for the locking mechanism.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two locking members 131 are respectively translated in the first direction. By the translation of the two locking members 131 in the first direction, the locking and unlocking processes of the assembly part 12 on the fuselage 11 can be respectively realized.

[0056] Among the two locking members 131, a connecting leg 1311 is formed at the other end of one of the locking members 131, and the connecting leg 1311 is connected to the transmission belt 1322. The connecting leg 1311 extends in the second direction and the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, so that there is a height difference in the second direction between the ends of the two locking members 131 extending in the first direction close to each other, thereby defining a space between the two locking members 131 for accommodating the reversing member 132 and enabling it to function, allowing the connecting leg 1311 to be effectively connected and interact with the transmission belt 1322 without affecting the translational movement of the locking member 131.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the laundry processing apparatus 1 further includes a first restoring member 15, which is disposed between the assembly member 12 and the locking member 131 to provide a restoring force. After the locking member 131 moves to unlock the assembly member 12, the restoring force provided by the first restoring member 15 allows the locking member 131 to return to the position where it locks the assembly member 12 to the body 11 after unlocking, thereby facilitating repeated installation and removal of the assembly member 12 from the body 11. When the assembly member 12 is locked to the body 11, the force provided by the first restoring member 15 also helps the locking member 131 maintain its position where it locks the assembly member 12 to the body 11, thereby improving locking reliability.

[0058] When the assembly part 12 needs to be unlocked, it is only necessary to overcome the restoring force of the first restoring member 15. When the unlocking is completed, the first restoring member 15 can quickly and automatically push the locking member 131 back to the locked position, preparing for the next locking operation, thereby improving the efficiency of the locking mechanism.

[0059] Since the multiple locking members 131 move synchronously, it is only necessary to connect the first reset member 15 to one of the locking members 131 , so that the movement of the locking member 131 can drive the other locking members 131 to move synchronously, thereby achieving the reset of the multiple locking members 131 .

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the two locking members 131 are respectively translated in the first direction. By the translation of the two locking members 131 in the first direction, the locking and unlocking processes of the assembly part 12 on the fuselage 11 can be respectively achieved.

[0061] The assembly member 12 is formed with a convex portion extending in a second direction, the second direction being orthogonal to the first direction. The convex portion protrudes from the inner surface of the assembly member 12 and is used to connect with the first restoring member 15 and provide support and connection points for it.

[0062] The laundry processing device 1 also includes a first return member 15 extending in a first direction. The locking member 131 moves in the first direction and overcomes the restoring force of the first return member 15, thereby unlocking the assembly 12 from the body 11. During the movement of the locking member 131 to unlock the assembly 12, the first return member 15 compresses in the first direction, storing elastic potential energy. Once the locking member 131 no longer overcomes the restoring force of the first return member 15, the first return member 15 utilizes its stored elastic potential energy to automatically push the locking member 131 in the opposite direction of the first direction, returning it to the locked position.

[0063] One end of the first restoring member 15 is connected to the protrusion, and the other end of the first restoring member 15 is connected to the locking member 131. The protrusion extending in the second direction provides support and a connection point for the first restoring member 15 extending in the first direction, so that the first restoring member 15 can be connected to the assembly member 12 and can be extended and retracted in the first direction.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a through trigger hole 121 is formed on the surface of the assembly 12 facing away from the body 11, and at least a portion of the trigger member 14 is arranged in the trigger hole 121. Therefore, the trigger member 14 is not completely exposed, but is partially hidden inside the assembly 12. At the same time, the trigger member 14 can interact with the locking mechanism through the trigger hole 121 of the assembly 12. The user can directly trigger the trigger member 14 from the external environment, thereby improving the convenience of user operation while reducing the direct contact between the internal structure of the assembly 12 and the external environment.

[0065] The trigger member 14 can move inwardly of the assembly part 12 to interact with the locking mechanism. To unlock the assembly part 12 from the body 11, the user simply presses the trigger member 14 into the body 11. This triggers the trigger member 14 to move inwardly of the assembly part 12, interacting with the locking mechanism and thereby activating the locking mechanism to unlock the assembly part 12 from the body 11.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the trigger member 14 includes a flip portion 141, at least partially disposed within the trigger hole 121 and rotatably connected to the assembly member 12. When the assembly member 12 is mounted on the body 11, the flip portion 141 is not completely exposed, but is partially or completely concealed within the trigger hole 121, improving the overall aesthetics and safety. The flip portion 141 can also seal the trigger hole 121, isolating the internal structure of the assembly member 12 from the external environment and enhancing the sealing performance.

[0067] The trigger member 14 also includes a gear portion 142, which is disposed on the flip portion 141. The gear portion 142 is tightly connected to the flip portion 141 or is integrally formed therewith so that it can move therewith when the flip portion 141 rotates. Meshing teeth that cooperate with the gear portion 142 are formed on the locking member 131 to enable the locking member 131 to be linked with the gear portion 142. When the flip portion 141 rotates, the gear portion 142 will also rotate accordingly. Through the cooperation of the gear portion 142 and the meshing teeth on the locking member 131, the linkage between the locking member 131 and the trigger member 14 is achieved. When the flip portion 141 is pressed and rotated by the user, the gear portion 142 will rotate accordingly. Through the meshing of the gear portion 142 and the meshing teeth on the locking member 131, the rotation of the gear portion 142 will drive the locking member 131 to move, thereby unlocking the assembly 12 from the fuselage 11.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the gear portion 142 is constructed as a curved plate that protrudes toward the locking member 131. This allows the curved plate to rotate along with the flip portion 141 during rotation. The outer surface of the curved plate is provided with mating teeth. The mating teeth on the curved plate mesh with the meshing teeth on the locking member 131, allowing the curved plate's rotation to drive the locking member 131 to move, thereby locking or unlocking the assembly 12. By utilizing the rotational power of the flip portion 141, the curved plate's rotation converts this power into movement of the locking member 131, achieving efficient energy transfer and conversion.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the clothing processing device 1 further includes a second return member 16, which is connected between the flip portion 141 and the assembly 12. When the flip portion 141 is pressed to the unlocked position, the restoring force provided by the second return member 16 automatically returns the flip portion 141 to its initial locked position after unlocking. At this point, the flip portion 141 once again closes the trigger hole 121, facilitating further user operation. When the flip portion 141 closes the trigger hole 121, the force provided by the second return member 16 also helps the flip portion 141 remain firmly in the position that closes the trigger hole 121, thereby enhancing the sealing and safety of the device.

[0070] When the flip portion 141 needs to be opened for operation, the user only needs to overcome the restoring force of the second restoring member 16. Once the operation is completed, the second restoring member 16 can quickly and automatically push the flip portion 141 back to the closed position, preparing for the next use, thereby improving the operating convenience and efficiency of the clothes processing device 1.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the assembly 12 is formed with a dispensing cavity. The detergent box, serving as the assembly 12, is securely connected to the locking portion 111 on the body 11 via a locking mechanism. Therefore, the detergent in the dispensing cavity remains stable during the laundry process and is less likely to overflow or shift due to vibrations of the device, thereby ensuring the stability and consistency of the washing effect. Furthermore, the detergent box is securely connected and secured to the body 11 through the locking mechanism and the locking portion 111, maintaining good stability even when the device is operating at high speeds. The trigger 14 cooperates with the locking mechanism to allow the user to easily unlock and disassemble the assembly 12, facilitating cleaning and maintenance.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a filter is provided on the assembly 12. During the drying process of the clothing processing device 1, the filter can effectively filter out impurities such as fluff and lint that fall off the clothes, thereby keeping the drying chamber clean, improving the drying effect and the sanitary quality of the clothes. The assembly 12 is firmly connected to the locking portion 111 on the body 11 through a locking mechanism, ensuring the stability and reliability of the filter during the operation of the equipment. At the same time, through the cooperation of the trigger 14 and the locking mechanism, the user can easily unlock and disassemble the assembly 12, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance, which not only improves the convenience of user operation, but also helps to extend the service life of the filter and reduce equipment failures and maintenance costs caused by filter blockage.
