DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0055] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. 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.
[0056] In the prior art, the connection assembly used for connecting the door body of the clothing processing device is a single-degree-of-freedom rotating mechanism with a fixed shaft. Due to the limitations of the connection structure, the door body of the clothing processing device requires a protruding panel setting, and the door cannot be embedded inside the clothing processing device, affecting the volume and aesthetics of the clothing processing device.
[0057] To this end, an embodiment of the present invention designs a connecting component 100 that can perform translational motion and rotational motion around a rotation center. Thus, when the connecting component 100 is applied to the door body 300 of the clothing processing device for installation, the door body 300 of the clothing processing device can first translate a certain distance away from the panel 200 and then flip outward during the opening process to open the clothing loading port. Thus, the door body 300 can be embedded inside the panel 200 of the clothing processing device, reducing the space occupied by the clothing processing device in the thickness direction of the panel 200 and improving the appearance of the clothing processing device.
[0058] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and will become apparent from the following description or learned through practice of the present invention.
[0059] Reference below Figures 1-13 A connection assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0060] According to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, the connection assembly 100 includes: a rotating component 3, a first connection seat 1 and a second connection seat 2.
[0061] When the connecting assembly 100 is installed on the door body 300 of a laundry processing device, the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 can be respectively connected to the door body 300 and the panel 200 of the laundry processing device. The rotating component 3 is connected between the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2, and can support and connect the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 and guide the relative movement between the two.
[0062] The rotating component 3 includes a first state and a second state. During the switching process from the first state to the second state, the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 are relatively arranged in a first direction (AB direction as shown in the figure), and during the switching process between the first state and the second state, the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 can approach each other or move away from each other in the first direction. When the rotating component 3 is in the second state, the second connecting seat 2 can rotate relative to each other around the rotation center.
[0063] In other words, when the rotating part 3 switches to the second state, the second connecting seat 2 can rotate between the first position and the second position relative to the first connecting seat 1. During the process of switching from the first state to the second state or from the second state to the first state, the second connecting seat 2 moves translationally along the first direction relative to the first connecting seat 1 between the third position and the first position.
[0064] Specifically, the rotating component 3 includes a first rotating member 4 and a second rotating member 5. In the first state, the first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 are simultaneously connected to the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2. The first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 are rotatably connected through the third rotating shaft 405. The first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 are cross-arranged. The connection point between the first rotating member 4 and the first connecting seat 1 is located on one side of the third rotating shaft 405 in the third direction (EF direction as shown in the figure), the connection point between the first rotating member 4 and the second connecting seat 2 is located on the other side of the third rotating shaft 405 in the third direction, the connection point between the second rotating member 5 and the second connecting seat 2 is located on one side of the third rotating shaft 405 in the third direction, and the connection point between the second rotating member 5 and the first connecting seat 1 is located on the other side of the third rotating shaft 405 in the third direction.
[0065] Among them, the first rotating member 4 is rotationally connected to the first connecting seat 1 through the first rotating shaft 104, the first rotating member 4 is detachably slidingly matched with the second connecting seat 2, the second rotating member 5 is rotationally connected to the second connecting seat 2 through the second rotating shaft 205, and the second rotating member 5 is slidingly matched with the first connecting seat 1.
[0066] Therefore, in the process of switching the rotating part 3 between the first state and the second state, when the second connecting seat 2 moves translationally along the first direction between the third position and the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the fitting point of the second rotating member 5 on the first connecting seat 1 slidingly cooperates with the first connecting seat 1 approaches or moves away from the first rotating shaft 104 along the third direction, and the fitting point of the second connecting seat 2 sliding cooperates with the first rotating member 4 approaches or moves away from the second rotating shaft 205 along the third direction.
[0067] Specifically, when the second connecting seat 2 moves away from the first connecting seat 1, that is, when the second connecting seat 2 moves from the third position to the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the cross-arranged first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 rotate relative to each other around the third rotation axis 405. At the same time, the two relative angles between the first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 toward the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 decrease, and the fitting point of the second rotating member 5 on the first connecting seat 1 that slides with the first connecting seat 1 approaches the first rotation axis 104 along the third direction, and the fitting point of the second connecting seat 2 that slides with the first rotating member 4 approaches the second rotation axis 205 along the third direction.
[0068] When the second connecting seat 2 approaches the first connecting seat 1, that is, when the second connecting seat 2 moves from the first position to the third position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the cross-arranged first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 rotate relative to each other around the third rotation axis 405. At the same time, the two relative angles between the first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 toward the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 increase, and the fitting point of the second rotating member 5 on the first connecting seat 1 slidingly fitting with the first connecting seat 1 moves away from the first rotation axis 104 along the third direction, and the fitting point of the second connecting seat 2 sliding fitting with the first rotating member 4 moves away from the second rotation axis 205 along the third direction.
[0069] When the second connecting seat 2 reaches the first position, the rotating component 3 is in the second state. In the second state, the first rotating component 4 and the second connecting seat 2 can be disengaged to allow the second connecting seat 2 to rotate between the first position and the second position relative to the first connecting seat 1.
[0070] Specifically, in the second state, the first rotating member 4 is connected to the first connecting seat 1 through the first rotating shaft 104, the second rotating member 5 is cooperatively connected to the first connecting seat 1, the first rotating member 4 is connected to the second rotating member 5 through the third rotating shaft 405, the positions of the first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 are fixed relative to the first connecting seat 1, and the second rotating member 5 is rotationally connected to the second connecting seat 2 through the second rotating shaft 205. Thus, the second connecting seat 2 can rotate relative to the whole composed of the second rotating member 5, the first rotating member 4 and the first connecting seat 1 around the second rotating shaft 205, so that the second connecting seat 2 can rotate relative to the first connecting seat 1 between the first position and the second position.
[0071] According to the connecting assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the connecting seats on both sides of the connecting assembly 100 have two travel sections of relative translation and relative rotation, which can be suitable for a built-in clothing processing device with a more beautiful appearance and a smaller door body 300, and there is no need to open a hole 21 on the panel 200, thereby ensuring the beauty of the clothing processing device door body 300 when it is opened.
[0072] Specifically, refer to Figure 3-Figure 6 During the switching process of the rotating component 3 between the first state and the second state, the second connecting base 2 is movable relative to the first connecting base 1 along the first direction. During the switching process of the rotating component 3 from the first state to the second state, the second connecting base 2 can move from the third position to the first position relative to the first connecting base 1. When moving to the first position, the switching of the rotating component 3 between the first state and the second state is achieved. The second connecting base 2 can rotate relative to the first connecting base 1 between the first position and the second position.
[0073] When the rotating component 3 is in the first state, the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 are arranged relative to each other in the first direction, the second connecting seat 2 is in the third position relative to the first connecting seat 1, and the distance between the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 in the first direction is L1. In the second state, the second connecting seat 2 can rotate between the first position and the second position relative to the first connecting seat 1. When the second connecting seat 2 is in the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 are arranged relative to each other in the first direction. At this time, the distance between the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 in the first direction is L2. Since the second connecting seat 2 moves from the third position to the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the second connecting seat 2 moves away from the first connecting seat 1, so L1 is smaller than L2.
[0074] like Figure 3-Figure 6As shown, the first connecting seat 1 is slidably matched with the second rotating member 5, and the second connecting seat 2 is slidably matched with the first rotating member 4, wherein the first connecting seat 1 has a first sliding groove 105 that is slidably matched with the second rotating member 5, and the second connecting seat 2 has a second sliding groove 204 that is slidably matched with the first rotating member 4. When the rotating member 3 switches between the first state and the second state, the matching position of the first rotating member 4 and the second connecting seat 2 moves under the guidance of the second sliding groove 204, and the matching position of the second rotating member 5 and the first connecting seat 1 moves under the guidance of the first sliding groove 105. In order to ensure The fitting part between the first rotating member 4 and the second connecting seat 2 can approach or move away from the second rotating shaft 205 during the movement under the guidance of the second slide groove 204, and the length direction of the second slide groove 204 is arranged at an angle to the first direction. In order to ensure that the fitting part between the second rotating member 5 and the first connecting seat 1 can approach or move away from the first rotating shaft 104 during the movement under the guidance of the first slide groove 105, the length direction of the first slide groove 105 is arranged at an angle to the first direction, that is, the length directions of the first slide groove 105 and the second slide groove 204 are both set at an angle to the first direction.
[0075] like Figure 3-Figure 9 As shown, the length direction of the first slide groove 105 is set perpendicular to the first direction, and the length direction of the first slide groove 105 extends along the third direction. Therefore, the structure of the rotating part 3 can be simplified, and the movement process of the second rotating part 5 and the first connecting seat 1 under the guidance of the first slide groove 105 is more stable.
[0076] The length direction of the second slide groove 204 is set perpendicular to the first direction, and the length direction of the second slide groove 204 extends along the third direction. Therefore, the structure of the rotating component 3 can be simplified, and the movement process of the first rotating component 4 and the second connecting seat 2 under the guidance of the second slide groove 204 is more stable.
[0077] Reference Figures 1-9 One end of the first rotating member 4 is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 1 through the first rotating shaft 104 and the other end is separably slidably engaged with the second sliding groove 204.

[0082] In order to prevent the second rotating member 5 from being separated from the limiting position of the first sliding groove 105 , the peripheral wall of the first sliding groove 105 is closed.
[0083] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the rotating component 3 can be maintained in the second state during the rotation of the second connecting seat 2 relative to the first connecting seat 1 between the first position and the second position, that is, the position of the rotating component 3 is maintained in a state where one end of the first rotating member 4 is rotationally connected to the first connecting seat 1 through the first rotating shaft 104 and the other end is engaged with the end of the second sliding groove 204 close to the second rotating shaft 205, one end of the second rotating member 5 is rotationally connected to the second connecting seat 2 through the second rotating shaft 205, and the middle part of the first rotating member 4 and the middle part of the second rotating member 5 are rotationally connected through the third rotating shaft 405, refer to Figure 7 A limiting protrusion 11 is provided on the side wall of the first sliding groove 105 near the first rotating shaft 104, which is used to limit the other end of the second rotating member 5 to prevent the other end of the second rotating member 5 from being disengaged from the limit during the rotation of the second connecting seat 2 relative to the first connecting seat 1 between the first position and the second position, causing the state of the rotating part 3 to change and the other end of the first rotating member 4 to be unable to cooperate normally with the second sliding groove 204.
[0084] Combine Figure 2-Figure 9 In the embodiment shown, when the rotating component 3 is in the second state and the second connecting seat 2 is in the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1, one end of the first rotating member 4 is rotationally connected to the first connecting seat 1 through the first rotating shaft 104 and the other end is engaged with the second sliding groove 204 close to the end of the second rotating shaft 205. In order to ensure that the second connecting seat 2 can be disengaged from the limit generated by the cooperation between the second sliding groove 204 and the other end of the first rotating member 4, so that the second connecting seat 2 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 205, the second sliding groove 204 has a groove side wall extending along its length direction. An opening 21 is provided to allow the other end of the first rotating member 4 to slide out of the second sliding groove 204 from the opening 21 in the second state, so that the first rotating member 4 is disengaged from the second connecting seat 2.
[0085] Among them, the opening 21 is located in the position of the second slide groove 204 close to the second rotating shaft 205, and when the rotating component 3 is in the second state and the second connecting seat 2 is in the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1, one end of the first rotating member 4 is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 1 through the first rotating shaft 104 and the other end cooperates with the end of the second slide groove 204 close to the second rotating shaft 205, and the second slide groove 204 extending along a groove side wall thereof has an opening 21, and the opening 21 is located in the position of the second slide groove 204 close to the second rotating shaft 205, and the other end of the first rotating member 4 cooperates with the end of the second slide groove 204 close to the second rotating shaft 205 can pass through the opening 21 and disengage from the limit of the second slide groove 204. Since the opening direction is set toward the first connecting seat 1, the second connecting seat 2 can rotate in the direction away from the first connecting seat 1 and disengage from the first rotating member 4 until the second connecting seat 2 rotates to the second position.
[0086] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The other end of the second rotating member 5 is provided with a first slide post 501, and the first slide post 501 is rotatably connected to the first slide groove 105. The axis of the first slide post 501 extends along a second direction (CD direction as shown in the figure) perpendicular to the third direction and the first direction. The length direction of the first slide groove 105 extends along the third direction. Since the extension direction of the plane where the first connecting seat 1 is located is perpendicular to the first direction, two structures for opening the first slide groove 105 need to be provided on the first connecting seat 1.
[0087] Specifically, the first connecting base 1 has two first mounting lugs 12 spaced apart in the second direction. The two first mounting lugs 12 are spaced apart in the second direction, and the length direction of the first mounting lugs 12 extends along the third direction, and the width direction extends along the first direction. Each first mounting lug 12 is provided with a first sliding groove 105. A first sliding post 501 extending in the second direction, provided at the other end of the second rotating member 5, slides in engagement with the two first sliding grooves 105. The two first mounting lugs 12 not only provide a position for the first sliding groove 105 but also limit the second rotating member 5 on both sides of the second direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating component 3.
[0088] The first sliding groove 105 can be formed as two blind holes arranged opposite to each other in the second direction or two through holes coaxially arranged in the second direction, which is not limited here.
[0089] like Figure 2 As shown, the other end of the first rotating member 4 is provided with a second slide column 402, and the second slide column 402 is rotatably connected to the second slide groove 204. The axis of the second slide column 402 extends along a second direction perpendicular to the third direction and the first direction, and the length direction of the second slide groove 204 extends along the third direction. Since when the rotating component 3 is in the first state, the extension direction of the plane where the second connecting seat 2 is located is perpendicular to the first direction, two structures for opening the second slide groove 204 need to be set on the second connecting seat 2.
[0090] Specifically, the second connecting base 2 has two second mounting lugs 22 spaced apart from each other. When the rotating component 3 is in the first state, the two second mounting lugs 22 are spaced apart in the second direction, with the length direction of the second mounting lugs 22 extending along the third direction and the width direction extending along the first direction. Each second mounting lug 22 is provided with a second slide slot 204. A second slide post 402 extending along the second direction, provided at the other end of the first rotating component 4, slides in engagement with the two second slide slots 204. The two second mounting lugs 22 not only provide a location for the second slide slots 204 but also limit the first rotating component 4 on both sides of the second direction, ensuring the stability of the rotating component 3.
[0091] The second sliding groove 204 can be formed as two blind holes arranged opposite to each other in the second direction or two through holes coaxially arranged in the second direction, which is not limited here.
[0092] like Figure 2-Figure 9 As shown, the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 104, the rotation axis of the second rotating shaft 205 and the rotation axis of the third rotating shaft 405 all extend along the second direction and are arranged in parallel. The second direction is arranged perpendicular to the first direction to ensure the stability of the second connecting seat 2 of the connecting component 100 during the rotation or movement relative to the first connecting seat 1, and avoid interference between structures.
[0093] In order to improve the strength of the connecting assembly 100 and ensure that the rotating component 3 connected between the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 can stably support the door body 300 or other structure connected to the second connecting seat 2, the connecting assembly 100 also includes: a connecting component 6.
[0094] The connecting component 6 can jointly support the door body 300 or other structure connected to the second connecting seat 2 with the rotating component 3, avoiding deformation caused by low strength of the connecting component 100, and ensuring stable support of the door body 300 by the connecting component 100.
[0095] The connecting component 6 is connected between the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 and includes a first connecting member 7 and a second connecting member 8. One end of the first connecting member 7 is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 1 through a first connecting shaft 107, one end of the second connecting member 8 is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 2 through a second connecting shaft 208, and the other end of the first connecting member 7 and the other end of the second connecting member 8 are rotatably connected through a third connecting shaft 708.
[0096] When the second connecting seat 2 is in the third position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the connecting component 6 located between the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 is limited by the space between the two, and the first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 are folded and arranged between the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2, that is, the angle formed between the first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 is as small as possible. In the process of switching the rotating member 3 from the first state to the second state, that is, the process of moving the second connecting seat 2 from the third position to the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the connecting component 6 located between the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 changes its own state while the distance between the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 changes. The first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 are converted from the state of being folded between the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 to the open state, and the angle between the first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 becomes larger.
[0097] When the second connecting seat 2 is in the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the angle between the first connecting member 7 and the second connecting member 8 is the largest. At this time, the second connecting seat 2 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 205. When the second connecting shaft 208 is coaxially arranged with the second rotating shaft 205, the second connecting seat 2 can rotate around the second connecting shaft 208 at the same time, and the state of the connecting member 6 remains unchanged. When the second connecting shaft 208 is not coaxially arranged with the second rotating shaft 205, the state of the connecting member 6 changes accordingly during the process of the second connecting seat 2 rotating around the second rotating shaft 205 relative to the first connecting seat 1.
[0098] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the second connecting shaft 208 and the second rotating shaft 205 are coaxially arranged so that the second connecting seat 2 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 205 and the second connecting shaft 208 at the same time. The state of the connecting component 6 can remain unchanged during the rotation of the second connecting seat 2 around the second rotating shaft 205, which reduces the design difficulty of the connecting component 6 and reduces the production cost.
[0099] In some embodiments, the second connecting shaft 208 and the second rotating shaft 205 are the same shaft, thereby avoiding the difficulty of setting the two separately set second connecting shafts 208 coaxially with the second rotating shaft 205, reducing production and design costs, and using the connecting part 6 and the rotating part 3 to simultaneously support the second connecting seat 2 connected to the shaft forming the second connecting shaft 208 and the second rotating shaft 205 and the structure connected to the second connecting seat 2, which can ensure that the connecting component 100 can stably support the structure and avoid damage and deformation of the connecting component 100.
[0100] When the second connecting shaft 208 is coaxially arranged with the second rotating shaft 205, the distance between the first connecting shaft 107 and the second connecting shaft 208 is the largest when the rotating part 3 is in the second state. This distance should be less than or equal to the sum of the distance between the third connecting shaft 708 and the first connecting shaft 107 and the distance between the third connecting shaft 708 and the second connecting shaft 208.
[0101] In order to better utilize the connecting component 6 to improve the strength of the overall structure of the connecting component 100 and ensure the connection stability of the connecting component 100, the first connecting shaft 107 and the first rotating shaft 104 are coaxially arranged so that the connecting component 100 is evenly stressed in all parts of the axial direction to avoid deformation caused by local stress.
[0102] In some embodiments, the first connecting shaft 107 and the first rotating shaft 104 are the same shaft, thereby avoiding the difficulty of setting the two separately set first connecting shafts 107 coaxially with the first rotating shaft 104, reducing production and design costs, and using the connecting part 6 and the rotating part 3 to simultaneously support the second connecting seat 2 and the structure connected to the second connecting seat 2, which can ensure that the connecting component 100 can stably support the structure and avoid damage and deformation of the connecting component 100.
[0103] In order to better utilize the connecting component 6 to improve the strength of the overall structure of the connecting component 100 and ensure the connection stability of the connecting component 100, the third connecting shaft 708 and the third rotating shaft 405 are coaxially arranged so that the connecting component 100 is evenly stressed at all points in the axial direction to avoid deformation caused by local stress.
[0104] In some embodiments, the third connecting shaft 708 and the third rotating shaft 405 are the same shaft, thereby avoiding the difficulty of setting the two separately set third connecting shafts 708 coaxially with the third rotating shaft 405, reducing production and design costs, and using the connecting part 6 and the rotating part 3 to simultaneously support the second connecting seat 2 and the structure connected to the second connecting seat 2, which can ensure that the connecting component 100 can stably support the structure and avoid damage and deformation of the connecting component 100.
[0105] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The rotation axes of the first connecting shaft 107, the second connecting shaft 208, and the third connecting shaft 708 all extend in the second direction and are arranged in parallel to ensure that the second connecting base 2 can stably rotate around the second rotation axis 205 extending in the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0106] The rotating component 3 and the connecting component 6 are arranged in the second direction to ensure that the second connecting seat 2 can stably rotate around the second rotating shaft 205 extending along the second direction.
[0107] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, at least two connecting parts 6 are arranged in the second direction, and the rotating part 3 is located between the at least two connecting parts 6. As a result, the overall structural layout of the connecting component 100 can be more reasonable, and the force on each part of the connecting component 100 is uniform, avoiding deformation caused by local force and ensuring stability during rotation.
[0108] Two third mounting lugs 13 are further provided on either side of the two first mounting lugs 12 on the first connecting base 1 in the second direction. The rotating shafts formed as the first connecting shaft 107 and the first rotating shaft 104 pass through the third mounting lugs 13, the first mounting lug 12, the first mounting lug 12, and the third mounting lug 13 in the second direction. Two fourth mounting lugs 23 are further provided on either side of the two second mounting lugs 22 on the second connecting base 2 in the second direction. The rotating shafts formed as the second rotating shaft 205 and the second connecting shaft 208 pass through the fourth mounting lug 23, the second mounting lug 22, the second mounting lug 22, and the fourth mounting lug 23 in the second direction. The first mounting lug 12, the second mounting lug 22, the third mounting lug 13 and the fourth mounting lug 23 can provide installation positions for the setting of the first connecting shaft 107, the second connecting shaft 208, the first rotating shaft 104 and the second rotating shaft 205. At the same time, the two first connecting members 7 are respectively limited between the two adjacent first mounting lugs 12 and the third mounting lugs 13, and the two second connecting members 8 are respectively limited between the two adjacent second mounting lugs 22 and the fourth mounting lugs 23, to ensure the stability of the setting of the connecting component 6.
[0109] According to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, a clothes treating device includes a panel 200 and a door 300 .
[0110] Among them, there is a through opening 2002 on the panel 200. In some embodiments, the through opening 2002 is connected to the clothing loading port of the clothing processing chamber. The door body 300 of the clothing processing device is arranged at the clothing loading port of the clothing processing device, and is used to open and close the through opening 2002 while ensuring the sealing of the clothing processing chamber.
[0111] The door 300 is disposed on the outside of the panel 200 via a connecting assembly 100 and is movable between a position closing the opening 2002 and a position opening the opening 2002. The connecting assembly 100 is the connecting assembly 100 according to the above-described embodiment. By adopting the above-described connecting assembly 100, the door 300 of the laundry processing device can first translate a certain distance away from the panel 200 during the opening process and then flip outward to open the laundry loading port. As a result, the door 300 can be embedded within the panel 200 of the laundry processing device, reducing the space occupied by the laundry processing device in the thickness direction of the panel 200 and improving the appearance of the laundry processing device.
[0112] One of the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the panel 200 , and the other is fixedly connected to the door body 300 .
[0113] In some embodiments, a first mounting hole 14 is provided on the first connecting seat 1, a first matching hole is provided on the panel 200, and the fixing member passes through the first mounting hole 14 and the first matching hole to fix the first connecting seat 1 and the panel 200. A second mounting hole 24 is provided on the second connecting seat 2, and a second matching hole is provided on the door body 300. The fixing member passes through the second connecting hole and the second matching hole to fix the second connecting seat 2 and the door body 300.
[0114] Specifically, refer to Figure 10-13 The outer side of the panel 200 has a accommodating recess 2001 that is recessed along its thickness direction, and the opening 2002 is provided on the bottom wall of the accommodating recess 2001. The door body 300 can be embedded in the accommodating recess 2001, reducing the space occupied by the clothing processing device in the thickness direction of the panel 200 and improving the appearance of the clothing processing device.
[0115] In which, when the rotating component 3 is in the first state, the door body 300 is in a position to close the opening 2002 and the door body 300 is at least partially accommodated in the accommodating recess 2001; when the rotating component 3 is in the second state and the second connecting seat 2 is in the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1, there is a gap between the door body 300 and the edge of the opening 2002 to ensure that the door body 300 has sufficient space to rotate around the second rotating axis 205; when the rotating component 3 is in the second state and the second connecting seat 2 is in the second position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the door body 300 is in a position to open the opening 2002.
[0116] The following describes a clothes treating device according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0117] The clothing processing device includes a door 300, a panel 200, and a connecting assembly 100. The panel 200 has a through opening 2002, which communicates with the clothing loading port of the clothing processing chamber. The door 300 of the clothing processing device is located at the clothing loading port of the clothing processing device. The door 300 is located on the outside of the panel 200 via the connecting assembly 100 and is movable between a position closing the through opening 2002 and a position opening the through opening 2002, thereby ensuring the sealing of the clothing processing chamber while opening and closing the through opening 2002. The outside of the panel 200 has a receiving recess 2001 recessed along its thickness. The through opening 2002 is located on the bottom wall of the receiving recess 2001. The door 300 can be embedded in the receiving recess 2001, thereby reducing the space occupied by the clothing processing device in the thickness direction of the panel 200 and improving the appearance of the clothing processing device.
[0118] The connecting assembly 100 includes: a rotating component 3, a connecting component 6, a first connecting base 1, and a second connecting base 2. The first connecting base 1 is provided with a first mounting hole 14, and the panel 200 is provided with a first matching hole. The fixing member passes through the first mounting hole 14 and the first matching hole to fix the first connecting base 1 and the panel 200. The second connecting base 2 is provided with a second mounting hole 24, and the door body 300 is provided with a second matching hole. The fixing member passes through the second connecting hole and the second matching hole to fix the second connecting base 2 and the door body 300.
[0119] The first connection base 1 is provided with first mounting lugs 12 spaced apart in the second direction on one side facing the second connection base 2, and two third mounting lugs 13 are further provided on either side of the two first mounting lugs 12 on the first connection base 1. The second connection base 2 is provided with second mounting lugs 22 spaced apart in the second direction on one side facing the first connection base 1, and two fourth mounting lugs 23 are further provided on either side of the two second mounting lugs 22 on the second connection base 2 in the second direction.
[0120] The connecting member 6 includes a first connecting member 7, a second connecting member 8, a first connecting shaft 107, a second connecting shaft 208 and a third connecting shaft 708. The rotating member 3 includes a first rotating member 4, a second rotating member 5, a first rotating shaft 104, a second rotating shaft 205 and a third rotating shaft 405.
[0121] The first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 are rotatably connected via the third rotating shaft 405. The first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 are arranged crosswise. During the opening and closing process of the door body 300, the rotating member 3 has a first state and a second state. During the process of the rotating member 3 switching between the first state and the second state, the second mounting base switches between a third position and the first position relative to the first connecting base 1. In the third position, the rotating member 3 is in the first state, and in the first position, the rotating member 3 is in the second state.
[0122] During the process of the second connecting seat 2 moving from the third position to the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the cross-arranged first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 rotate relative to each other around the third rotating axis 405. At the same time, the two relative angles between the first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 toward the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 decrease.
[0123] One end of the first rotating member 4 is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 1 through the first rotating shaft 104, and the first rotating shaft 104 is located on one side of the third rotating shaft 405 in the third direction. The first rotating member 4 and the second connecting seat 2 are separable and slidingly matched. The other end of the first rotating member 4 is provided with a second sliding column 402, and the second mounting lug 22 is provided with a second sliding groove 204 extending along the third direction. The second sliding column 402 is slidably matched with the second sliding groove 204, and the second sliding groove 204 is located on the other side of the third rotating shaft 405 in the third direction.
[0124] One end of the second rotating member 5 is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 2 through the second rotating shaft 205. The second rotating shaft 205 is located on one side of the third rotating shaft 405 in the third direction. The second rotating member 5 slides with the first connecting seat 1. The other end of the second rotating member 5 is provided with a first sliding column 501. The first mounting lug 12 is provided with a first sliding groove 105 extending along the third direction. The first sliding column 501 slides with the first sliding groove 105. The first sliding groove 105 is located on the other side of the third rotating shaft 405 in the third direction.
[0125] During the process of switching the rotating component 3 from the first state to the second state, the first slide 501 approaches the first rotating shaft 104 along the extension direction of the first slide groove 105 until it moves from the end of the first slide groove 105 away from the first rotating shaft 104 to the end close to the first rotating shaft 104, and the second slide 402 approaches the second rotating shaft 205 along the extension direction of the second slide groove 204 until it moves from the end of the second slide groove 204 away from the second rotating shaft 205 to the end close to the second rotating shaft 205.
[0126] A limiting protrusion 11 is provided on the side wall of the first slide groove 105 near the first rotating shaft 104, which is used to limit the first slide column 501 when the rotating component 3 is in the second state, ensuring that the second slide column 402 can be limited to the side of the first slide groove 105 near the first rotating shaft 104, ensuring that the rotating component 3 remains in the second state, and after the second mounting seat rotates from the second position back to the first position, the second slide column 402 can return to the second slide groove 204 through the opening 21.
[0127] The second slide groove 204 has an opening 21 on a side wall extending along its length. When the rotating component 3 is in the second state, the second connecting seat 2 can rotate relative to the first connecting seat 1 around the second rotating axis 205. During this process, the position of the rotating component 3 remains unchanged, and the second slide post 402 can pass through the second mounting lug 22 through the opening and slide out of the second slide groove 204 from the opening 21, so that the first rotating member 4 is disengaged from the second connecting seat 2, thereby preventing the cooperation between the second slide post 402 and the second slide groove 204 from affecting the rotation of the second mounting seat.
[0128] One end of the first connecting member 7 is rotatably connected to the first connecting base 1 via the first connecting shaft 107, one end of the second connecting member 8 is rotatably connected to the second connecting base 2 via the second connecting shaft 208, and the other end of the first connecting member 7 and the other end of the second connecting member 8 are rotatably connected via the third connecting shaft 708. The second connecting shaft 208 and the second rotating shaft 205 are coaxial, the first connecting shaft 107 and the first rotating shaft 104 are coaxial, and the third connecting shaft 708 and the third rotating shaft 405 are coaxial.
[0129] The rotating shafts formed as the first connecting shaft 107 and the first rotating shaft 104 pass through the third mounting lug 13, the first mounting lug 12, the first mounting lug 12, and the third mounting lug 13 in the second direction. The rotating shafts formed as the second rotating shaft 205 and the second connecting shaft 208 pass through the fourth mounting lug 23, the second mounting lug 22, the second mounting lug 22, and the fourth mounting lug 23 in the second direction. The first mounting lug 12, the second mounting lug 22, the third mounting lug 13 and the fourth mounting lug 23 can provide mounting positions for the first connecting shaft 107, the second connecting shaft 208, the first rotating shaft 104 and the second rotating shaft 205. At the same time, the two first connecting members 7 are respectively limited between the two adjacent first mounting lugs 12 and the third mounting lugs 13, the two second connecting members 8 are respectively limited between the two adjacent second mounting lugs 22 and the fourth mounting lugs 23, and the first rotating member 4 and the second rotating member 5 are limited between the two adjacent first mounting lugs 12 and the two adjacent second mounting lugs 22.
[0130] During the switching process of the rotating component 3 between the first state and the second state, the first connecting seat 1 and the second connecting seat 2 are always arranged relative to each other in the first direction, that is, during this process, the door body 300 and the panel 200 are also always arranged relative to each other in the first direction, and the door body 300 does not rotate relative to the panel 200. When the rotating component 3 is in the first state, the door body 300 is in a position closing the through-port 2002 and the door body 300 is at least partially accommodated in the accommodating recess 2001. When the user pulls the door body 300 outward, the door body 300 first moves along the first direction toward the outside of the accommodating recess 2001 until the second connecting seat 2 moves to the first position. At this time, the rotating component 3 is in the second state and the second connecting seat 2 is in the first position relative to the first connecting seat 1. There is a gap between the door body 300 and the edge of the through-port 2002, and sufficient space is reserved between the panel 200 and the door body 300 for the rotation of the door body 300.
[0131] When the rotating component 3 is in the second state, the second connecting seat 2 can rotate around the second rotating axis 205 relative to the first connecting seat 1, that is, the door body 300 can rotate around the second rotating axis 205 relative to the panel 200. During the rotation process, the rotating component 3 remains stationary in the second state. When the rotating component 3 is in the second state and the second connecting seat 2 is in the second position relative to the first connecting seat 1, the door body 300 is in the position of opening the opening 2002.
