Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clothing processing technology, and in particular to clothing processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the washing machines on the market are mainly fully automatic, which have greatly facilitated people's daily lives. However, with the continuous development of society and people's increasing pursuit of efficiency, fully automatic washing machines, which still require a certain degree of manual operation to start the program, are gradually becoming unable to meet this demand. Therefore, washing machines that can be controlled by voice have emerged. However, these washing machines require additional sound-absorbing holes on the machine body, which not only affects the visual experience of the washing machine but also increases the complexity of the outer casing manufacturing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a garment processing device that solves the problem of needing to set up additional openings for sound pickup in garment processing devices, thereby achieving a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a clothing processing device, comprising: a housing, which has a built-in sound processing module; and a first sound transmission channel disposed on the housing, comprising an outer port formed on the outer surface of the housing and an inner port formed on the inner surface of the housing; an identification component is provided on the outer surface of the housing, the identification component comprising a solid part and a hollow part penetrating the solid part, the outer port communicating with the hollow part and being at least partially surrounded by the solid part.

[0005] After adopting the above technical solution, the outer port of the first sound transmission channel is connected to the hollow part, which does not affect the sound transmission effect of the first sound transmission channel. Furthermore, the outer port of the first sound transmission channel is at least partially surrounded by the solid part, which weakens the visual presence of the outer port and makes the marking component and the first sound transmission channel form an integrated visual effect. The appearance of the garment processing equipment looks simpler and more beautiful, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0006] Furthermore, the marking component is independently mounted to the outer surface of the housing and protrudes from the outer surface of the housing.

[0007] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, since the marking component protrudes from the outer surface of the housing, it obstructs the first sound transmission channel. When the user uses it, the marking component is noticed first, while the connection between the outside world and the sound processing module is maintained. It is more visually concealed and not easily noticed, thus achieving both functionality and aesthetics.

[0008] Furthermore, the hollowed-out section is formed by the solid section to create a circumferentially closed structure.

[0009] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the circumferentially closed structure makes the hollowed-out part visually smoother and more complete, achieving the function while also enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.

[0010] Furthermore, the circumferential contour of the outer port is either flush with or obscured by the circumferential contour of the hollowed-out portion formed by the solid portion.

[0011] Using the aforementioned technical solution, when the circumferential contour of the outer port is aligned with the circumferential contour of the hollowed-out part, the two visually blend together, appearing more fluid and aesthetically pleasing. When the outer port is obscured by the solid part, the outer port itself is visually hidden, with only the contour of the hollowed-out part exposed, making the overall design look cleaner and more unified.

[0012] Furthermore, the sound processing module is configured relative to the internal port.

[0013] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the sound processing module is positioned opposite to the internal port, allowing sound to be transmitted directly from the internal port to the sound processing module. This reduces sound attenuation and interference during transmission, enabling higher clarity in sound transmission and improving the efficiency of sound transmission as well as the clarity and accuracy of sound reception.

[0014] Furthermore, a second sound transmission channel connects the internal port to the sound processing module.

[0015] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, a second sound transmission channel is set between the internal port and the sound processing module as the sound transmission path, which ensures efficient transmission of sound waves, avoids diffusion to the surroundings, reduces sound loss, isolates external interference, enhances the sound wave signal, and improves the clarity and accuracy of sound reception.

[0016] Furthermore, the garment processing equipment also includes a bracket fixed inside the housing, a sound processing module mounted on the bracket, and a second sound transmission channel set on the bracket.

[0017] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the sound processing module is assembled onto the bracket and a second sound transmission channel is directly set on the bracket. This not only serves as a support structure for the sound processing module but also integrates the sound transmission function, reducing the number of installation and connection components and making the internal structure of the clothing processing equipment more compact.

[0018] Furthermore, the inner port is covered with a dustproof mesh.

[0019] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the dustproof net is installed at the inner port. While ensuring aesthetics, it also prevents dust, fibers, hair and other small debris from entering the garment processing equipment through the inner port and adhering to the sound processing module or other components, thus affecting their normal operation. Therefore, by covering with a dustproof net, the service life of the internal components of the equipment can be effectively extended, and the failures and maintenance costs caused by debris or adhering debris can be reduced.

[0020] Furthermore, the sound processing module is a sound input module that receives external sound through the first sound transmission channel; and / or, the sound processing module is a sound output module that outputs sound to the outside through the first sound transmission channel.

[0021] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, when the sound processing module functions as a sound input module, it can receive external sounds through the first sound transmission channel, enabling it to capture sound commands from users or the environment, thus providing reliable sound input for the device's intelligent control, monitoring, and feedback functions. When the sound processing module functions as a sound output module, it can clearly output sound to the outside world through the first sound transmission channel, allowing the device to convey warning signals, operation prompts, voice feedback, and other information to users or the environment, improving the device's interactivity and usability. The sound processing module's versatility—serving as both a sound input module to receive external sounds and a sound output module to output sounds—enables the device to support richer voice interaction and control functions, enhancing its intelligence level and user experience.

[0022] Furthermore, the signage component is one or a combination of word signs, number signs, and graphic signs. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be selected to be combined or substituted with each other according to the actual situation, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a clothing processing device includes: a housing 1, which has a built-in sound processing module 11; and a first sound transmission channel 12 disposed on the housing 1, including an outer port 14 formed on the outer surface of the housing 1 and an inner port 13 formed on the inner surface of the housing 1; an identification component 15 is provided on the outer surface of the housing 1, the identification component 15 including a solid part 151 and a hollow part 152 penetrating the solid part 151, the outer port 14 communicating with the hollow part 152 and being at least partially surrounded by the solid part 151.

[0031] In this embodiment, the sound processing module 11 is used as the sound input module. The sound input module can receive external sounds through the first sound transmission channel 12, so that the sound processing module 11 can capture sound commands from the user or the environment, and provide reliable sound input for the intelligent control, monitoring and feedback functions of the device.

[0032] Specifically, the outer port 14 of the first sound transmission channel 12 is connected to the hollow part 152, which does not affect the sound transmission effect of the first sound transmission channel 12. Furthermore, the outer port 14 of the first sound transmission channel 12 is at least partially surrounded by the solid part 151. The solid part 151 weakens the visual presence of the outer port 14, making the marking component 15 and the first sound transmission channel 12 form an integrated visual effect. The appearance of the housing 1 of the clothing processing equipment is more concise and beautiful, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0033] Preferably, the aforementioned marking component 15 is independently installed on the outer surface of the housing 1 and protrudes from the outer surface of the housing 1. For example, the marking component 15 is independently molded and attached to the outer surface of the housing 1 by means of adhesive or other methods. These marking components 15 have a certain thickness. When the user observes from the front, the protruding solid part 151 can block some light from being directly projected onto the outer port 14, so that the outer port 14 of the first sound transmission channel 12 is at least partially hidden in the shadow of the solid part 151, making it less likely to be observed by the user visually. Moreover, the protruding solid part 151 can also provide a certain degree of protection for the outer port 14, thus achieving both functionality and aesthetics.

[0034] Preferably, the cutout portion 152 is formed by the solid portion 151 into a circumferentially closed structure, such as a closed circle or square. It does not need to consider the adaptation problem with the outer port 14, as long as the two are connected to each other. When the cutout portion 152 of the circumferentially closed structure completely surrounds the outer port 14, the outer port 14 is basically not visible at certain angles, which can achieve better visual aesthetics.

[0035] Specifically, the circumferential contour of the outer port 14 is at least flush with the circumferential contour of the hollow portion 152 formed by the solid portion 151.

[0036] Preferably, the circumferential contour of the outer port 14 and the solid portion 151 form the circumferential contour of the hollow portion 152, which is covered by the solid portion 151.

[0037] When the circumferential outline of the outer port 14 is aligned with the circumferential outline of the cutout portion 152, the two visually blend together, appearing more fluid and aesthetically pleasing. When the outer port 14 is obscured by the solid portion 151, the outer port 14 itself is visually hidden, with only the outline of the cutout portion 152 exposed, making the overall design look cleaner and more unified.

[0038] In one embodiment, the sound input module is positioned opposite to the internal port 13. This relative positioning means that the sound input module is positioned on the central axis of the internal port 13, so that the two are on the same straight line. This is beneficial for the sound input module to receive sound.

[0039] In other embodiments, the audio input module can be positioned opposite the inner port 13, or the audio input module can be attached to the inner surface of the housing 1 around the inner port 13 of the first channel. This allows the audio to be transmitted directly from the inner port 13 to the audio input module, reducing the attenuation and interference of the audio during transmission.

[0040] Preferably, a second sound transmission channel 21 is provided between the sound input module and the internal port 13, so that sound can be transmitted to the sound input module along the second sound transmission channel 21.

[0041] By setting a second sound transmission channel 21 between the internal port 13 and the sound input module as a sound transmission path, sound diffusion to the surroundings is avoided, sound loss is reduced, sound wave signals are enhanced, and the clarity and accuracy of sound reception are improved.

[0042] Specifically, the sound input module is fixed in the clothing processing equipment by the bracket 2, the front end of the bracket 2 abuts against the inner port 13 on the inner surface of the housing 1, and the second transmission channel 21 is set on the bracket 2.

[0043] By assembling the sound input module onto the bracket 2 and directly setting the second sound transmission channel 21 on the bracket 2, it not only serves as a support structure for supporting the sound input module but also integrates the sound transmission function, reducing the number of installation and connection parts and making the internal structure of the garment processing equipment more compact.

[0044] Preferably, the inner port 13 is covered with a dustproof net 16. The dustproof net 16 can be attached to the inner surface of the inner port 13 by adhesive. The front end of the bracket 2 abuts against the dustproof net 16, which also serves to tighten the dustproof net 16. The dustproof net 16 prevents dust, fibers, hair, and other small debris from entering the garment processing equipment through the inner port 13 and adhering to the sound input module or other components, affecting their normal operation. Therefore, by covering the equipment with a dustproof net 16, the service life of the internal components can be effectively extended, and the failures and maintenance costs caused by debris or adhering debris can be reduced.

[0045] The sound input module mentioned in the above embodiments can be a microphone, etc.

[0046] Based on the technical solutions mentioned in the above embodiments, in another embodiment, the sound processing module 11 can also be used as a sound output module to output sound to the outside world through the first sound transmission channel 12, such as a loudspeaker.

[0047] When the sound processing module 11 is used as a sound output module, it can clearly output sound to the outside world through the first sound transmission channel 12, enabling the device to transmit warning signals, operation prompts, voice feedback and other information to users or the environment, thereby improving the interactivity and usability of the device.

[0048] Preferably, two sound processing modules 11 can be applied in the same garment processing device, namely a sound input module and a sound output module. The corresponding sound input module and sound output module each have a first sound transmission channel 12 and a second sound transmission channel 21, which enables the device to support richer voice interaction and control functions, and improves the intelligence level of the device and the user experience.

[0049] Specifically, taking a voice-controlled washing machine as an example, users can control the operation of the washing machine through simple voice commands, such as: start washing clothes, select washing mode, etc.

[0050] In this embodiment, the identification component 15 is a text sign.

[0051] Specifically, it can also be digital signage and graphic signage, or a combination thereof.

[0052] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, there are other embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
