[0046] This application provides a hanging structure and clothing processing equipment to solve the problem that the rotation of the drum in existing dryers or washer-dryer combos usually generates noise during the drying process, resulting in a poor user experience. The following description is in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0047] The suspension structure provided in this application embodiment is applied to a garment processing device, which includes a cylindrical body 1. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 6 The suspension structure includes a mounting shell 2, a sliding part 3, a transmission assembly 4, and a hanging part 5. The mounting shell 2 is installed inside the cylinder 1, and the mounting shell 2 has an installation space inside. The mounting shell 2 has an extension opening 21, which communicates with the installation space. The sliding part 3 is slidably installed on the outer periphery of the mounting shell 2. The transmission assembly 4 is located in the installation space and is connected to the sliding part 3. The hanging part 5 is movably connected to the mounting shell 2 and is located in the installation space on the side near the extension opening 21. The hanging part 5 is used to hang clothes. The sliding part 3 is used to drive the transmission assembly 4 to slide, so that the transmission assembly 4 pushes the hanging part 5 to rotate to extend out of the extension opening 21 or to rotate to be stored in the installation space.
[0048] The hanging structure provided in this application embodiment has a retractable and extendable hanging part 5 inside the drum 1 of the clothing processing equipment. The extended hanging part 5 provides a hanging support structure for the clothes to be dried, so that the clothes can be directly spread out and hung on the hanging part 5 without rotating the drum 1 to turn the clothes over. This achieves uniform drying of the clothes and avoids the noise caused by rotating the drum 1 during the drying process. At the same time, if small clothes are directly piled in the drum 1, they are prone to tangling and uneven drying. This hanging structure can avoid the tangling problem and ensure the uniformity of the drying effect.
[0049] Optionally, the hooking part 5 includes a connecting rod 51, a first hook 52, and a second hook 53. Both the first hook 52 and the second hook 53 are rotatably connected to the mounting housing 2 and hinged to the connecting rod 51. The transmission assembly 4 includes a first transmission block 41 and a second transmission block 42. One end of the first transmission block 41 passes through the mounting housing 2 and is fixedly connected to the sliding part 3. The second transmission block 42 is connected to the first transmission block 41 and extends in the same direction as the sliding part 3. The second transmission block 42 is located between the first hook 52 and the second hook 53. (See also...) Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the second structure of the suspension structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is a second installation diagram of the suspension structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 for Figure 5 A partial enlarged view at point B shows the second transmission block 42 abutting against the first hook 52, causing the first hook 52 and the second hook 53 to rotate to extend out of the outlet 21; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a first structural schematic diagram of the suspension structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a first installation schematic diagram of the suspension structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view at point A, or the second transmission block 42 is used to abut the second hook 53 so that the first hook 52 and the second hook 53 rotate to be stored in the installation space.
[0050] The first hook 52 and the second hook 53 are linked together by a connecting rod 51. Simultaneously, a second transmission block 42 is positioned between the first hook 52 and the second hook 53. By abutting and pushing one hook or the second hook 53, the first hook 52 and the second hook 53 can be extended or retracted. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. Since the second transmission block 42 is located inside the mounting housing 2 and cannot be directly observed from the outside, its extension direction is set to be the same as that of the sliding part 3, allowing the user to control the movement direction of the second transmission block 42 by sliding the sliding part 3.
[0051] In some examples, the sliding part 3 can be located on the side of the mounting shell 2 away from the cylinder 1 for easy user operation, and the extension port 21 can be located on the side of the mounting shell 2.
[0052] Optionally, the mounting housing 2 is also provided with a through sliding hole, through which the first transmission block 41 passes and is fixedly connected to the sliding part 3. The sliding direction of the sliding part 3 is limited by the sliding hole and the first transmission block 41 to prevent the sliding part 3 from deviating during the sliding process.
[0053] Specifically, the second transmission block 42 can be connected to the end of the first transmission block 41 away from the sliding part 3, and the second transmission block 42 can be perpendicular to the first transmission block 41.
[0054] Optionally, the suspension structure provided in this embodiment further includes a limiting plate 6. The limiting plate 6 is disposed within the installation space and located between the first hook 52 and the second hook 53. The limiting plate 6 is provided with a sliding groove, and the second transmission block 42 is slidably connected within the sliding groove. Through the sliding cooperation between the limiting plate 6 and the second transmission block 42, not only is a support structure provided for the second transmission block 42, but also an auxiliary limiting structure is provided for the sliding of the second transmission block 42 to prevent the second transmission block 42 from deviating.
[0055] Specifically, the limiting plate 6 can be fixedly connected to the mounting shell 2. The connection method is not further limited here. For example, it can be screwed, riveted, welded, etc.
[0056] Optionally, the transmission assembly 4 also includes a pair of rotating wheels 43, with the two ends of the second transmission block 42 facing away from the slide groove respectively rotatably connected to a rotating wheel 43, and the pair of rotating wheels 43 respectively rolling abutting against the first hook 52 or the second hook 53.
[0057] By positioning the rotating wheel 43 on the side of the second transmission block 42 away from the slide groove, interference between the rotating wheel 43 and the side wall of the slide groove is avoided, thus preventing it from affecting the sliding of the second transmission block 42. Through the rolling contact between the rotating wheel 43 and the first hook 52 or the second hook 53, a smooth transition connection between the second transmission block 42 and the first hook 52 or the second hook 53 is achieved, preventing the tip of the second transmission block 42 from colliding with the first hook 52 or the second hook 53 and causing damage to them. Simultaneously, the rolling contact also prevents excessive friction when the second transmission block 42 and the first hook 52 or the second hook 53 are in contact.
[0058] Optionally, each of the pair of rotating wheels 43 has a first engaging portion on its outer periphery, and the first hook 52 and the second hook 53 are correspondingly provided with a second engaging portion, which engage with each other. The first engaging portion and the second engaging portion may each include multiple tooth-like structures that engage with each other through these tooth-like structures.
[0059] The rotating wheel 43 and the first hook 52 and the second hook 53 are engaged to prevent excessive impact force when they come into contact. At the same time, it also makes it easier for the rotating wheel 43 to drive the first hook 52 and the second hook 53 to rotate, making the engagement between the rotating wheel 43 and the first hook 52 and the second hook 53 smoother and avoiding jamming.
[0060] In some examples, the first engaging portion may be provided only on the side of the first hook 52 facing the turntable 43, and the second engaging portion may be provided only on the side of the second hook 53 facing the turntable 43. In other examples, the first engaging portion may extend along the outer periphery of the first hook 52, and the second engaging portion may extend along the outer periphery of the second hook 53.
[0061] Optionally, the suspension structure provided in this embodiment further includes a pair of first connecting posts 7, which are arranged opposite to each other in the installation space. The first hook 52 and the second hook 53 are rotatably connected to one of the first connecting posts 7. Furthermore, the first hook 52 and the second hook 53 can be perpendicular to the pair of first connecting posts 7 respectively, so that the first hook 52 and the second hook 53 can be more stable when rotating around one of the first connecting posts 7.
[0062] Optionally, the hanging part 5 also includes a plurality of third hooks 54; the suspension structure provided in this application embodiment also includes a plurality of second connecting posts 8, each third hook 54 is rotatably connected to the mounting shell 2 through a second connecting post 8, the plurality of third hooks 54 are hinged to the connecting rod 51 at intervals, and the plurality of third hooks 54 are used to follow the connecting rod 51 to rotate to extend out of the extension opening 21 or be stored in the installation space.
[0063] Multiple third hooks 54 are driven members and move with the connecting rod 51, while the first hook 52 or the second hook 53 is the driving member. When the rotating wheel 43 rolls against the first hook 52 and drives the first hook 52 to rotate, the first hook 52 drives the connecting rod 51 to move, which in turn drives the second hook 53 and multiple third hooks 54 to rotate, achieving the same angle of rotation for the first hook 52, the second hook 53, and the multiple third hooks 54. When the rotating wheel 43 rolls against the second hook 53 and drives the second hook 53 to rotate, the second hook 53 drives the connecting rod 51 to move, which in turn drives the first hook 52 and the multiple third hooks 54 to rotate, achieving the same angle of rotation for the first hook 52, the second hook 53, and the multiple third hooks 54. By sliding the second transmission block 42 between the first hook 52 and the second hook 53, it can achieve individual contact with the first hook 52 or the second hook 53, thereby enabling the extension or retraction of the first hook 52, the second hook 53, and the multiple third hooks 54.
[0064] Optionally, the sliding part 3 has a foolproof marking 31 on the side opposite to the mounting housing 2. The foolproof marking 31 is used to indicate the sliding direction of the sliding part 3. In some examples, the foolproof marking 31 can be the word "switch," which is respectively set at both ends of the sliding part 3 to indicate the sliding direction of the sliding part 3 when it is switched on or off. In other examples, the foolproof marking 31 can be a pair of opposing arrows to indicate the direction in which the sliding part 3 can slide. In still other examples, the foolproof marking 31 can be a pair of opposing friction parts, each friction part may include multiple protrusions to indicate that the user's position is the point of force for their finger. At the same time, the friction parts also ensure the friction between the sliding part 3 and the finger, making it easy to slide the sliding part 3.
[0065] This application also provides a garment processing device, including a drum 1 and a suspension structure as described above. The type of garment processing device is not further limited here; in some examples, it can be a dryer, and in other examples, it can be a washer-dryer combo.
[0066] Optionally, the mounting shell 2 can be a lifting rib. It is understood that lifting ribs are typically made of metal or other high-strength materials and are fixed inside the washing machine drum. They effectively disperse and withstand the impact forces generated during washing, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the drum. During washing, friction and collision occur between the clothes and the drum wall. The design of the lifting ribs helps maintain the stable position of the clothes during washing, reducing movement of the clothes during high-speed rotation and preventing damage or tangling. The shape and distribution of the lifting ribs guide water flow, allowing water to penetrate the clothes more effectively, thus improving the washing effect. They help clothes tumble in the water, ensuring that every corner is thoroughly washed. Since clothes handling equipment typically has lifting ribs to improve washing performance, integrating the mounting shell 2 and the lifting ribs into one unit saves space within the drum 1 of the clothes handling equipment. Simultaneously, it provides installation space for other components of the suspension structure, improving the utilization rate of space within the drum 1. The shape and size of the lifting ribs are not further limited here.
[0067] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
[0068] The above provides a detailed description of the hanging structure and clothing processing device provided in the embodiments of this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
