[0002] Currently, clothing processing devices have become an indispensable household appliance in people's daily lives. These devices include a housing with an opening, housing a motor and a washing tub. A control base is located on the front of the housing, and a recess is formed on the control base. A clothing access opening is formed at the bottom of the recess to facilitate loading and unloading clothing into the washing tub. The recess also accommodates a door that closes the access opening. To ensure the aesthetics of the clothing access opening, a decorative cover is provided around the opening. Existing decorative covers are fastened to the sidewalls of the recess via snaps. However, with design upgrades, a notch is required in the sidewalls of the recess to accommodate devices such as lint collectors. The decorative cover at this notch cannot be secured to the sidewalls using the original snap-fit ​​method. This makes the decorative cover prone to loosening, generating noise during operation. Furthermore, a loose decorative cover creates a gap between the control base and the clothing processing device, which can easily harbor dirt. Excessive gaps also affect the overall aesthetics of the device. Utility Model Content

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0019] The fixing member abuts the fixing portion radially outwardly along the mounting recess, thereby solving the problem that the annular decorative cover cannot be fixed to the control base body at the mounting groove position after the mounting recess of the control base body is provided with a mounting groove, which is easy to loosen. The mounting groove is provided on the inner side wall of the mounting recess to facilitate the installation of devices such as a lint collector, and a notch is provided on the annular decorative cover at the position corresponding to the mounting groove to prevent the annular decorative cover from blocking the mounting groove, ensuring that the device can be properly installed in the installation channel. The fixing portion of the annular decorative cover extends into the mounting groove to prevent the fixing portion from being exposed. The fixing member is provided on the inner side of the control base body to abut the fixing portion radially, thereby fixing the annular decorative cover near the mounting groove, ensuring that the annular decorative cover at this position can be tightly attached to the inner side wall of the mounting recess to prevent loosening between the two. This not only ensures the appearance of the annular decorative cover after installation but also prevents vibration and noise between the two. In addition, the annular decorative cover is more tightly connected to the mounting recess near the mounting groove, which also serves as a decoration for the mounting groove.

[0020] Furthermore, the fixing portion is disposed on a side of the edge of the notch near the outer end surface of the control base body. The annular decorative cover at this location is closer to the outside. Providing the fixing portion here allows the outer end of the annular decorative cover to fit more tightly against the sidewall of the mounting recess, narrowing the gap between the annular decorative cover and the control base body, resulting in a better overall aesthetic.

[0021] Furthermore, the fixing member is arranged around the edge of the installation slot. The annular fixing member has better strength and can provide stable support and fixation for the annular decorative cover.

[0022] Furthermore, a fixing post is provided on one side of the annular decorative cover's end surface near the mounting recess, which passes through the end surface of the mounting recess and is fixedly connected to the fixing member. On the other side of the notch, the annular decorative cover is also secured to the fixing member via a fixing post, which also passes through the end surface of the mounting recess, thereby enhancing the mounting security of the annular decorative cover at this location.

[0023] Furthermore, a fixing groove is formed in the fixing member at a position corresponding to the fixing portion, and the fixing portion is inserted into the fixing groove and abuts against the groove wall of the fixing groove. Providing a fixing groove at this position on the fixing member can increase the width of the fixing member at the position corresponding to the fixing portion, thereby improving the strength of the fixing member at this position and abutting the fixing portion more firmly.

[0024] Furthermore, a transition portion is provided between the outer end surface of the control base body and the inner sidewall of the mounting recess, and the annular decorative cover is provided with a convex eave that covers the transition portion. The transition portion prevents sharp corners from forming between the outer end surface of the control base body and the inner sidewall of the mounting recess, ensuring a smooth transition between the two. Furthermore, the convex eave on the annular decorative cover that covers the transition portion further enhances the aesthetics of this area.

[0025] Furthermore, the outer end surface of the convex eave does not protrude from the outer end surface of the control base body, thereby preventing the convex eave from being damaged during transportation or use.

[0026] Furthermore, a recessed portion is formed between the protruding eave and the fixing portion, and the mounting slot, on the side closest to the outer end surface of the control base body, abuts radially inwardly within the recessed portion. The decorative cover protects the mounting slot at this location to prevent the edge of the mounting channel from injuring the user. The abutment between the edge of the mounting slot and the recessed portion cooperates with the abutment between the fixing member and the fixing portion to more firmly secure the relative position of the annular decorative cover at this location.

[0027] Furthermore, a fixing seat is provided on the inner side of the control seat body, and the fixing piece is fixedly connected to the fixing seat. The fixing seat can better fix the fixing piece so that the fixing piece can be firmly fixed on the control seat body.

[0050] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection, or communication; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise specified. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0051] See Figures 1 to 11 This is an embodiment of the control seat device of the clothing processing device of the present invention. The control seat device of the clothing processing device includes a control seat body 100, an annular decorative cover 200 and a fixing part 300. The control seat body 100 is generally made of metal and is installed at the front end of the clothing processing device shell. A mounting recess 110 is provided on the outer end surface of the control seat body 100. The mounting recess 110 is recessed toward the interior of the control seat body 100. A clothing access opening 111 that passes through the inside and outside is opened on the end surface of the mounting recess 110. Through the clothing access opening 111, the user can put clothes into the washing bucket in the clothing processing device shell, or take clothes out of the washing bucket.

[0052] The annular decorative cover 200 is fixedly mounted on the inner side wall of the mounting recess 110, mainly for decorating the inner side wall of the mounting recess 110, such as Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, a plurality of buckles are provided on the annular decorative cover 200 , and a plurality of corresponding openings are provided on the inner wall of the mounting recess 110 . The annular device cover is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting recess 110 through the cooperation between the buckles and the openings.

[0053] A mounting slot 112 is defined on the inner sidewall of the mounting recess 110. The specific location and shape of the mounting slot 112 can be customized. In this embodiment, the mounting slot 112 is defined above the inner sidewall of the mounting recess 110 and is rectangular in shape. Accordingly, a notch 210 is defined on the annular decorative cover 200 at a position corresponding to the mounting slot 112 to prevent the annular decorative cover 200 from obstructing the mounting slot 112.

[0054] Because the inner sidewall of the mounting recess 110 has a mounting groove 112 at its top, there is no room for an additional opening on the inner sidewall of the mounting recess 110 at that location, and there is no room for an additional clip on the annular decorative cover 200 at the notch 210 to secure it to the mounting recess 110. Therefore, a fixing member 300 is provided on the inner side of the control base body 100, and a fixing portion 220 extending into the mounting groove 112 is provided at the edge of the notch 210 of the annular decorative cover 200. The fixing member 300 abuts against the fixing portion 220 radially outwardly from the mounting recess 110. In other words, the abutment between the fixing member 300 and the fixing portion 220 generates a force that presses the annular decorative cover 200 against the inner sidewall of the mounting recess 110, preventing the annular decorative cover 200 from separating from the inner sidewall of the mounting recess 110 at the notch 210, thereby securing the annular decorative cover 200 at the notch 210. In this embodiment, the fixing portion 220 is in an elongated strip shape and forms an abutting surface protruding toward the center of the notch 210 for achieving abutment with the fixing member 300 .

[0055] like Figure 3 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, further, the fixing portion 220 is arranged on the side of the edge of the notch 210 close to the outer end surface of the control seat body 100, that is, along the inner and outer directions of the control seat body 100, the fixing portion 220 is arranged on the outer side of the notch 210. Since the outer side is closer to the user, this side is firmly fixed, and it is less likely to produce a gap between the outer side of the annular decorative cover 200 and the control seat body 100, thereby improving product quality.

[0056] The fixing member 300 is arranged around the edge of the mounting groove, that is, the fixing member 300 is ring-shaped, so that the strength of the fixing member 300 is enhanced, and the fixing member 300 also has more positions for fixing with the control seat body 100 and the annular decorative cover 200, so that the fixing seat 130 can better play the role of fixing the control seat body 100 and the annular decorative cover 200 together.

[0057] like Figures 6 to 11As shown, further, the annular decorative cover 200 is already fixed to the fixing member 300 on the side of the notch 210 close to the outer end face of the control seat body 100. The side of the notch 210 of the annular device cover close to the end face of the mounting recess 110 also needs to be fixed to the fixing member 300. This allows the annular decorative cover 200 to have at least two different fixing points at the notch 210. Specifically, a fixing post 230 is provided on the side of the end face of the annular decorative cover 200 close to the mounting recess 110. The fixing post 230 passes through the end face of the mounting recess 110 and is fixedly connected to the fixing member 300. This fixed connection can be plug-in or snap-in, or it can be fixed by screwing a screw through the fixing member 300 and screwing it into the fixing post 230. In this way, the fixing member 300, the annular decorative cover 200, and the control seat body 100 can be firmly fastened together.

[0058] Based on the above embodiment, a fixing groove 310 is formed in the fixing member 300 at a position corresponding to the fixing portion 220. The fixing portion 220 is inserted into the fixing groove 310 and abuts against the groove wall of the fixing groove 310. Since the fixing member 300 needs to abut the fixing portion 220 radially outward, the fixing member 300 cannot be exposed from the installation groove 112. In other words, the fixing member 300 is sandwiched between the installation groove 112 and the fixing portion 220. The space at this position is narrow. To increase the strength of the fixing member 300 at this position, the fixing groove 310 is formed in the fixing member 300 and the radially outward space of the fixing portion 220 is fully utilized. The side wall of the fixing groove 310 radially closer to the center of the mounting recess 110 abuts against the fixing portion 220, while the side of the fixing groove 310 radially farther away from the center of the mounting recess 110 supports the strength of the entire fixing member 300 at this position.

[0059] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the mounting recess 110 is typically stamped or injection-molded from the control base body 100. A transition portion 120 is provided between the outer end surface of the control base body 100 and the inner sidewall of the mounting recess 110 to avoid sharp corners. The transition portion 120 is inclined or curved. If the edge of the annular decorative cover 200 only extends close to the transition portion 120, a groove will form between the annular device cover and the outer end surface of the control base body 100. This groove is not only easy to harbor dirt and grime, but also quite unsightly. Therefore, a protruding eave 240 is provided on the annular decorative cover 200 to cover the transition portion 120. The protruding eave 240 is positioned as close to the outer end surface of the control base body 100 as possible to reduce the width of the groove or prevent the formation of a groove. It is also preferable to ensure that the outer end surface of the protruding eave 240 does not protrude beyond the outer end surface of the control base body 100, reducing the sense of separation between the protruding eave 240 and the outer end of the control base body 100 and preventing the protruding eave 240 from being damaged during transportation or use of the clothing handling device.

[0060] Further, the convex eaves 240 and the fixed part 220 form a recess 250, the installation through slot 112 abuts against the recess 250 from the outer end surface side of the control seat body 100 along the radial direction of the installation recess 110, and the annular decorative cover 200 is clamped between the installation through slot 112 and the fixing member 300 from the outer end surface side of the control seat body 100 along the radial direction of the installation recess 110, thereby improving the stability of the annular decorative cover 200.

[0061] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 , for the fixing of the fixing member 300 and the control seat body 100, a fixing seat 130 is arranged on the inner side of the control seat body 100, and the fixing member 300 is fixedly connected with the fixing seat 130. The two can be fixed by bolt connection or clamping. In the embodiment, the fixing seat 130 is provided with a positioning groove 131 and a fixing hole 132, and the fixing member 300 is provided with a positioning column 320 matched with the positioning groove 131, and then a bolt is screwed into the fixing member 300 through the fixing hole 132, thereby realizing the fixed connection of the fixing member 300 and the fixing seat 130.

[0062] The fixing seat 130 can be bent away from the annular decorative cover 200 from the control seat body 100, so that the fixing seat 130 can obtain higher strength, and the subsequent installation step of the fixing seat 130 is saved. Of course, the fixing seat 130 can also be fixed on the control seat body 100 by adhesion or welding, and the stable connection of the fixing seat 130 and the control seat body 100 can be realized.

[0063] When installing the control seat device, align the notch 210 of the annular decorative cover 200 with the mounting groove 112 on the mounting recess 110, and use the buckle 260 on the annular decorative cover 200 to cooperate with the bayonet 113 on the inner wall of the mounting recess 110 or other fixed connection methods to achieve a fixed connection between most parts of the annular decorative cover 200 and the mounting recess 110. For the position of the notch 210 of the annular decorative cover 200, the installation groove 112 is inserted into the recessed portion 250 on one side close to the outer end surface of the control seat body 100, and abuts against the recessed portion 250 radially inward, and then the fixing portion 220 of the annular decorative cover 200 is inserted into the fixing groove 310 of the fixing member 300, so that the groove wall of the fixing groove 310 abuts against the fixing portion 220 radially outward along the installation recess, and then the fixing member 300 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 130 set on the inner side of the control seat body 100, and the fixing member 300, the control seat body 100 and the annular decorative cover 200 are fixed together by screwing the screw passing through the fixing member 300 into the fixing column 230. Through the above structure, the installation groove 112 is opened at the installation recess 110, and the fixing member 300 is used to cooperate with the fixing part 220 of the annular decorative cover 200 to prevent the annular decorative cover 200 from loosening at the installation groove 112. When the clothing processing device is working, the annular decorative cover 200 is prevented from shaking relative to the control base body 100 to generate noise, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by any technician in this field within the scope of the present invention are included in the patent scope of the present invention.
