[0002] Traditional connecting components for garment processing device doors are single-degree-of-freedom rotation mechanisms with fixed pivots. Due to the limited connection structure, the garment processing device door needs to protrude from the panel, making it impossible to embed the door inside the garment processing device, thus affecting the size and aesthetics of the device. In related technologies, a connecting component with dual pivots has been designed, including a connecting base, a first rotating component, a second rotating component, a first pivot, and a second pivot. However, in these related technologies, the relative rotation between the first rotating component and the connecting base, as well as the relative rotation between the first rotating component and the second rotating component, is unrestricted. The overall changes of the connecting component during the door opening process are uncontrollable, making it impossible to ensure that the connecting component executes the correct movement sequence during the door opening and closing process, which can easily lead to collisions between the door and the panel.

[0063] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0064] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.

[0065] The following is for reference. Figures 1-16 Description of a connection component 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0066] The connecting assembly 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention includes: a connecting seat 1, a first rotating member 2, a second rotating member 3, a first damping member 4, and a second damping member 6.

[0067] In the prior art, the connecting component used to connect the door of the garment processing device is a single-degree-of-freedom rotation mechanism with a fixed pivot. Due to the limitations of the connecting structure, the door of the garment processing device needs to protrude from the panel and cannot be embedded inside the garment processing device, which affects the size and aesthetics of the garment processing device.

[0068] In related technologies, a connecting assembly with dual rotating shafts has been designed. The connecting assembly includes a connecting seat, a first rotating member, a second rotating member, a first rotating shaft, and a second rotating shaft. Specifically, the first rotating member is rotatably connected to the connecting seat through the first rotating shaft, and the second rotating member is rotatably connected to the first rotating member through the second rotating shaft. The connecting seat is used to connect to the panel of the clothing handling device, and the second rotating member is used to connect to the door of the clothing handling device. Thus, the door can be assembled onto the panel of the clothing handling device through the connecting assembly.

[0069] Because a first rotating member is provided between the second rotating member and the connecting seat, which can rotate relative to the connecting seat and the second rotating member, during the opening of the door, the door can rotate outward relative to the panel while moving a certain distance away from the panel. In the case where the door is embedded in the panel of the clothing processing device, the door can avoid the edge of the recess formed on the panel during the opening and closing process. The door embedded in the panel will not interfere with the panel during the opening and closing process, thereby allowing the door to be embedded inside the panel of the clothing processing device while increasing the opening angle of the door, reducing the volume of the clothing processing device, and improving the aesthetics of the clothing processing device.

[0070] In order to ensure that the door and the panel do not collide during the opening process, the first rotating component and the second rotating component should follow a corresponding movement sequence. Specifically, during the opening process, the position of the connecting seat remains unchanged, and the first rotating component should first rotate relative to the first rotating axis, from one extreme position, namely the first closed position, to another extreme position, namely the first open position. During the rotation, the relative position of the second rotating component and the first rotating component remains unchanged.

[0071] Furthermore, after the first rotating member rotates around the first axis to the first open position, the positions of the first rotating member and the connecting seat remain unchanged, and the second rotating member rotates relative to the second axis, rotating from one extreme position, namely the second closed position, to another extreme position, namely the second open position. At the second open position, the door rotates to the maximum angle.

[0072] However, since the relative rotation between the first rotating member and the connecting seat, as well as the relative rotation between the first rotating member and the second rotating member, in the related technology are unrestricted, the overall changes of the connecting assembly during the door opening process are uncontrollable. It is impossible to ensure that the connecting assembly executes the correct movement sequence during the door opening and closing process, which can easily lead to the door body colliding with the panel.

[0073] Therefore, this utility model embodiment designs a connecting assembly 100 provided with a first damping member 4 and a second damping member 6. The first damping member 4 prevents the first rotating member 2 from rotating from the first open position to the first closed position during the rotation of the second rotating member 3 from the second open position to the second closed position. That is, when the second rotating member 3 rotates to the second closed position, the first rotating member 2 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 102 relative to the connecting seat 1. During the rotation of the first rotating member 2, the second rotating member 3 remains stationary in the second closed position.

[0074] The second damping element 6 prevents the second rotating element 3 from rotating from the second closed position to the second open position during the rotation of the first rotating element 2 from the first closed position to the first open position. That is, the second rotating element 3 can only rotate relative to the first rotating element 2 around the second rotating axis 203 after the first rotating element 2 has rotated to the first open position. During the rotation of the second rotating element 3, the first rotating element 2 remains stationary in the first open position.

[0075] Therefore, under the action of the first damping member 4 and the second damping member 6, the movement of the first rotating member 2 and the second rotating member 3 can execute the corresponding movement sequence. Specifically, during the opening of the door 300, the position of the connecting seat 1 remains unchanged. The first rotating member 2 first rotates relative to the connecting seat 1 around the first rotating shaft 102, rotating from the first closed position to the first open position. During this process, the second rotating member 3 remains in the second closed position under the action of the second damping member 6.

[0076] Furthermore, after the first rotating member 2 rotates around the first rotating shaft 102 to the first open position, the second damping member 6 releases the movement restriction on the second rotating member 3, and the second rotating member 3 can rotate relative to the first rotating member 2 around the second rotating shaft 203. The second rotating member 3 rotates from the second closed position to the second open position. During the process, the first rotating member 2 remains unchanged in the first open position. When the second rotating member 3 rotates to the second open position, the door body 300 rotates to the maximum angle.

[0077] During the closing process of the door 300, the second rotating member 3 first rotates relative to the first rotating member 2 around the second rotating shaft 203, rotating from the second open position to the second closed position. During this process, the first rotating member 2 remains in the first open position under the action of the first damping member 4.

[0078] Furthermore, after the second rotating member 3 rotates around the second rotating shaft 203 to the second closed position, the first damping member 4 releases the movement restriction on the first rotating member 2, and the first rotating member 2 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 102 relative to the connecting seat 1. The first rotating member 2 rotates from the first open position to the first closed position, during which the second rotating member 3 remains unchanged in the second closed position. When the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first closed position, the door 300 closes.

[0079] Specifically, the first damping element 4 cooperates with the first rotating shaft 102. During the rotation of the second rotating element 3 from the second open position to the second closed position, the first damping element 4 is adapted to provide a first damping force to the first rotating shaft 102 to prevent the first rotating element 2 from rotating from the first open position to the first closed position. Since the first damping element 4 provides a first damping force to the first rotating shaft 102, when the user provides a driving force to the entire connecting assembly 100 to move to the closed position through the door body 300 connected to the second rotating element 3, the second rotating element 3 has a tendency to move from the second open position to the second closed position, and the first rotating element 2 has a tendency to move from the first open position to the first closed position. Since the first damping element 4 is adapted to provide a first damping force to the first rotating shaft 102 to prevent the first rotating element 2 from rotating to the first closed position, the driving force provided by the user to the entire connecting assembly 100 to move to the closed position through the door body 300 connected to the second rotating element 3 will be entirely applied to the second rotating element 3, driving the second rotating element 3 to move from the second open position to the second closed position.

[0080] When the second rotating member 3 rotates to the second closed position, the second rotating member 3 cannot continue to rotate under the driving force provided by the user to move to the closed position. The driving force provided by the user to the entire connecting assembly 100 through the door body 300 connected to the second rotating member 3 to move to the closed position will be entirely applied to the first rotating member 2. When the external driving force acting on the first rotating shaft 102 is greater than the first damping force, the first rotating member 2 overcomes the first damping force provided by the first damping member 4 and rotates to the first closed position. That is, the first damping member 4 allows the first rotating member 2 to rotate from the first open position to the first closed position.

[0081] The damping structure also includes a second damping element 6, which cooperates with the second rotating shaft 203. During the rotation of the first rotating member 2 from the first closed position to the first open position, the second damping element 6 is adapted to provide a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203 to prevent the second rotating member 3 from rotating from the second closed position to the second open position. Since the second damping element 6 provides a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203, when the user provides a driving force to the entire connecting assembly 100 to move to the open position through the door body 300 connected to the second rotating member 3, the second rotating member 3 has a tendency to move from the second closed position to the second open position, and the first rotating member 2 has a tendency to move from the first closed position to the first open position. Since the second damping element 6 is adapted to provide a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203 to prevent the second rotating member 3 from rotating to the second open position, the driving force provided by the user to the entire connecting assembly 100 to move to the open position through the door body 300 connected to the second rotating member 3 will be entirely applied to the first rotating member 2, driving the first rotating member 2 to move from the first closed position to the first open position.

[0082] After the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first open position, it cannot continue to rotate under the driving force provided by the user to move to the open position. The driving force provided by the user to the entire connecting assembly 100 through the door body 300 connected to the second rotating member 3 to move to the open position will be entirely applied to the second rotating member 3. When the external driving force acting on the second rotating shaft 203 is greater than the second damping force, the second rotating member 3 overcomes the second damping force provided by the second damping member 6 and rotates to the second open position. That is, the second damping member 6 allows the second rotating member 3 to rotate from the second closed position to the second open position.

[0083] According to the connecting component 100 of this utility model embodiment, the connecting component 100 can execute the corresponding movement sequence during the movement process. When it is applied to the door 300 of the clothing handling device for installation, the door 300 can be embedded inside the panel 200, thus avoiding collision between the door 300 and the panel 200.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first damping element 4 and the second damping element 6 may be one or more of commercially available unidirectional dampers, including liquid dampers, gas dampers, electromagnetic dampers, mechanical unidirectional dampers, or friction unidirectional dampers.

[0085] However, due to the large size of the existing unidirectional damper, it affects the internal structural layout and volume control of the connecting component 100, resulting in the connecting component 100 occupying more space in the direction perpendicular to the connecting seat 1. When the connecting component 100 is applied to the clothing processing device, it affects the space occupied by the door 300 of the clothing processing device.

[0086] Therefore, this utility model designs a damping component that achieves unidirectional damping through a one-way bearing, thereby reducing the space occupied by the first damping component 4 and / or the second damping component 6.

[0087] Specifically, refer to Figures 4-7 The connecting seat 1 is provided with a first bearing seat 11, which is fixedly mounted on the connecting seat 1. The first rotating shaft 102 is fixedly connected to the first rotating member 2. While the first rotating member 2 rotates relative to the connecting seat 1, the first rotating shaft 102 can also rotate relative to the connecting seat 1, and thus rotate relative to the first bearing seat 11. Since the structure of the first rotating member 2 is complex and its position changes greatly, it is easy to interfere with other structures during the movement. Therefore, placing the first bearing seat 11 on the connecting seat 1 can avoid the setting of the first damping member 4 from affecting the arrangement of various parts of the connecting assembly 100 and avoid interference during the movement.

[0088] Among them, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first damping element 4 includes a first one-way bearing 43, which is mounted on a first bearing housing 11 and sleeved on a first rotating shaft 102. The first one-way bearing 43 includes an outer ring and an inner ring, with rollers disposed between the inner and outer rings. The outer ring of the first one-way bearing 43 is fixedly connected to the first bearing housing 11, and the inner ring of the first one-way bearing 43 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 102. The first one-way bearing 43 is configured to allow the first rotating shaft 102 to rotate in a first direction [e.g., ...]. Figure 10 As shown in Figure A, the first rotating shaft 102 rotates to drive the first rotating member 2 from the first closed position to the first open position. The first rotating shaft 102 rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction. Figure 10 As shown in Figure B, when rotating, the first one-way bearing 43 will provide the first damping force to the first rotating shaft 102.

[0089] In other words, the first one-way bearing 43 is adapted to provide a first damping force to the first rotating shaft 102 only during the rotation of the connecting assembly 100 from the open position to the closed position. Thus, during the rotation of the connecting assembly 100 from the closed position to the open position, the first one-way bearing 43 does not provide a damping force, and the priority of the first rotating member 2's movement from the first closed position to the first open position is not affected by the first one-way bearing 43. When the connecting assembly 100 is installed on the door 300 of the garment handling device and the connecting seat 1 is connected to the panel 200, and the second rotating member 3 is connected to the door 300, during the opening of the door 300, the priority of the first rotating member 2's movement from the first open position to the first closed position is higher than the priority of the second rotating member 3's movement from the second open position to the second closed position. Therefore, the first rotating member 2 can rotate from the first closed position to the first open position around the first rotating shaft 102 before the second rotating member 3.

[0090] During the process of the second rotating member 3 rotating from the second open position to the second closed position, since the first one-way bearing 43 provides the first damping force, during the closing process of the door 300, the priority of the first rotating member 2 rotating from the first closed position to the first open position is lower than the priority of the second rotating member 3 rotating from the second closed position to the second open position. Therefore, the first rotating member 2 rotates from the second open position to the second closed position after the second rotating member 3 rotates around the second rotating shaft 203, and then rotates from the first open position to the first closed position.

[0091] Specifically, in combination Figures 8-16 In the illustrated embodiment, when the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the open position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, the first rotating member 2 has a tendency to rotate to the first open position, the first rotating shaft 102 has a tendency to rotate along the first direction, and the first one-way bearing 43 is configured to allow the first rotating shaft 102 to rotate around the first direction. Therefore, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 102 is not restricted by the first one-way bearing 43, and thus, the priority of the movement of the first rotating member 2 is not affected, and the first rotating member 2 can rotate before the second rotating member 3.

[0092] When the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the closed position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100. The first rotating member 2 has a tendency to rotate to the first closed position, and the first rotating shaft 102 has a tendency to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction. When the first rotating shaft 102 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the first one-way bearing 43 will give the first rotating shaft 102 a first damping force. Therefore, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 102 is restricted by the first one-way bearing 43, and the priority of the movement of the first rotating member 2 is affected by the first damping force. The second rotating member 3 can rotate before the first rotating member 2.

[0093] Specifically, in combination Figures 4-7 In the illustrated embodiment, a second bearing seat 31 is provided on the second rotating member 3. The second bearing seat 31 is fixedly mounted on the second rotating member 3. The second rotating shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the first rotating member 2. While the first rotating member 2 rotates relative to the second rotating member 3, the second rotating shaft 203 can also rotate relative to the second rotating member 3, and thus rotate relative to the second bearing seat 31. Because the structure of the first rotating member 2 is complex and its position changes significantly, it is prone to interference with other structures during movement. Therefore, placing the second bearing seat 31 on the second rotating member 3 can prevent the arrangement of the second damping member 6 from affecting the layout of various parts of the connecting assembly 100, and avoid interference during movement.

[0094] Among them, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second damping element 6 includes a second one-way bearing 63, which is mounted on a second bearing housing 31 and sleeved on a second rotating shaft 203. The second one-way bearing 63 includes an outer ring and an inner ring, with rollers disposed between the inner and outer rings. The outer ring of the second one-way bearing 63 is fixedly connected to the second bearing housing 31, and the inner ring of the second one-way bearing 63 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 203. The second one-way bearing 63 is configured to allow the second rotating shaft 203 to rotate in a first direction [e.g., ...]. Figure 13 As shown in Figure A, during the rotation of the second rotating shaft 203 relative to the second rotating member 3 around the first direction, the second rotating member 3 rotates relative to the first rotating member 2 from the second open position to the second closed position, and the second rotating shaft 203 rotates around a second direction opposite to the first direction [as shown in Figure A]. Figure 13 As shown in Figure B, when rotating, the second one-way bearing 63 will provide a second damping force to the second shaft 203.

[0095] In other words, the second one-way bearing 63 is adapted to provide a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203 during the rotation of the connecting assembly 100 from the closed position to the open position. Thus, during the rotation of the connecting assembly 100 from the open position to the closed position, the second one-way bearing 63 does not provide a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203. When the connecting assembly 100 is installed on the door 300 of the garment handling device and the second rotating member 3 is connected to the panel 200 and the door 300, during the closing of the door 300, the movement priority of the second rotating member 3 is higher than that of the first rotating member 2. Therefore, the second rotating member 3 can rotate from the second open position to the second closed position around the second rotating shaft 203 before the first rotating member 2.

[0096] During the process of the connecting assembly 100 rotating from the open position to the closed position, since the second one-way bearing 63 provides the first damping force, during the closing process of the door 300, the priority of the first rotating member 2 rotating from the first closed position to the first open position is lower than the priority of the second rotating member 3 rotating from the second closed position to the second open position. Therefore, the first rotating member 2 rotates from the second open position to the second closed position around the second rotating member 3 around the second rotating shaft 203 and then rotates from the first open position to the first closed position.

[0097] Specifically, in combination Figures 8-16 In the embodiment shown, when the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the closed position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, the second rotating member 3 has a tendency to rotate to the second closed position, and the second rotating shaft 203 has a tendency to rotate along the first direction. Since the second one-way bearing 63 is configured to allow the second rotating shaft 203 to rotate around the first direction, the rotation of the second rotating shaft 203 is not restricted by the second one-way bearing 63 at this time. That is, the priority of the movement of the second rotating member 3 is not affected, and the second rotating member 3 can rotate before the first rotating member 2.

[0098] When the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the open position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, the second rotating member 3 has a tendency to rotate to the second open position, and the second rotating shaft 203 has a tendency to rotate in the second direction opposite to the first direction. When the second rotating shaft 203 rotates in the direction opposite to the first direction, the second one-way bearing 63 will give the second rotating shaft 203 a second damping force. At this time, the rotation of the second rotating shaft 203 is restricted by the second one-way bearing 63, and the priority of the movement of the second rotating member 3 is affected by the second damping force. The first rotating member 2 can rotate before the second rotating member 3.

[0099] The first damping element 4 and the second damping element 6 in this embodiment of the present invention can also achieve unidirectional damping through a combination of a one-way bearing and a two-way damper. Thus, unidirectional damping can be better achieved without changing the space occupied by the damping element. The setting of the two-way damper can prevent the one-way bearing from reversing and increase the service life of the one-way bearing.

[0100] Specifically, refer to Figures 4-7 The first damping element 4 includes: a first bearing housing 11, a first one-way bearing 43, and a first bidirectional damper 42. The first bidirectional damper 42 is connected between the first bearing housing 11 and the connecting seat 1. The first rotating shaft 102 is fixedly connected to the first rotating member 2. While the first rotating member 2 rotates relative to the connecting seat 1, the first rotating shaft 102 can also rotate relative to the connecting seat 1.

[0101] The first bidirectional damper 42 and the first one-way bearing 43 are engaged through the first bearing housing 11. The first one-way bearing 43 is mounted on the first bearing housing 11 and sleeved on the first rotating shaft 102. The first one-way bearing 43 includes an outer ring and an inner ring, with rollers disposed between the inner and outer rings. The outer ring of the first one-way bearing 43 is fixedly connected to the first bearing housing 11, and the inner ring of the first one-way bearing 43 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 102. The first one-way bearing 43 is configured to allow the first rotating shaft 102 to rotate around a first direction, so that the first rotating shaft 102 drives the first rotating member 2 to rotate from the first closed position to the first open position. When the first rotating shaft 102 has a tendency to rotate around a second direction opposite to the first direction under the drive of external force, the first one-way bearing 43 transmits force to the first bearing housing 11. At this time, the first bidirectional damper 42 disposed between the first bearing housing 11 and the connecting seat 1 will give the first bearing housing 11 and the first rotating shaft 102 a first damping force.

[0102] Thus, the coaxially arranged first bidirectional damper 42 and the first one-way bearing 43 together form a one-way damping structure. When the first rotating shaft 102 has a tendency to rotate relative to the connecting seat 1 in the first direction, since the first one-way bearing 43 does not generate damping force for the movement in this direction, the first rotating shaft 102 can rotate relative to the connecting seat 1 in the first direction at the first one-way bearing 43.

[0103] When the first rotating shaft 102 tends to rotate in the second direction relative to the connecting seat 1, since the damping force provided by the first one-way bearing 43 to the movement of the first rotating shaft 102 in the second direction is much greater than the damping force provided by the first bidirectional damper 42 to the movement of the first rotating shaft 102 in the second direction, when the external force can overcome the first damping force provided by the first bidirectional damper 42, the first rotating shaft 102 rotates in the second direction relative to the connecting seat 1 at the first bidirectional damper 42.

[0104] Therefore, during the rotation of the connecting assembly 100 from the open position to the closed position, the first damping member 4, composed of the first bidirectional damper 42 and the first one-way bearing 43, provides the first rotating shaft 102 with a first damping force to prevent it from rotating in the second direction, so as to prevent the first rotating member 2 from rotating to the first closed position; and when the second rotating member 3 rotates to the second closed position and the external driving force acting on the first rotating shaft 102 is greater than the first damping force, the first rotating shaft 102 is allowed to rotate in the second direction, so that the first rotating shaft 102 drives the first rotating member 2 to rotate from the first open position to the first closed position.

[0105] In other words, the first damping element 4, which is composed of the first bidirectional damper 42 and the first one-way bearing 43, is adapted to provide the first damping force to the first rotating shaft 102 only during the process of the connecting assembly 100 rotating from the open position to the closed position. During the process of the connecting assembly 100 rotating from the closed position to the open position, the first damping element 4, which is composed of the first bidirectional damper 42 and the first one-way bearing 43, does not provide damping force.

[0106] When the connecting component 100 is installed on the door 300 of the garment handling device and the connecting seat 1 is connected to the panel 200, and the second rotating member 3 is connected to the door 300, during the opening of the door 300, the first rotating member 2 has a higher rotation priority relative to the connecting seat 1 than the second rotating member 3 has a higher rotation priority relative to the first rotating member 2. Therefore, the first rotating member 2 can rotate from the first closed position to the first open position around the first rotating axis 102 before the second rotating member 3.

[0107] During the process of the connecting component 100 rotating from the open position to the closed position, the first bidirectional damper 42 provides the first damping force. During the closing process of the door 300, the motion priority of the first rotating member 2 relative to the connecting seat 1 is lower than the motion priority of the second rotating member 3 relative to the first rotating member 2. Therefore, the first rotating member 2 rotates from the second open position to the second closed position around the second rotating member 3 around the second rotating axis 203, and then rotates from the first open position to the first closed position.

[0108] Specifically, in combination Figures 8-16 In the illustrated embodiment, when the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the open position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, the first rotating member 2 has a tendency to rotate to the first open position, the first rotating shaft 102 has a tendency to rotate along the first direction, and the first one-way bearing 43 is configured to allow the first rotating shaft 102 to rotate around the first direction. Therefore, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 102 is not restricted by the first one-way member, and thus, the priority of the movement of the first rotating member 2 is not affected, and the first rotating member 2 can rotate before the second rotating member 3.

[0109] When the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the closed position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100. The first rotating member 2 has a tendency to rotate to the first closed position, and the first rotating shaft 102 has a tendency to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction. When the first rotating shaft 102 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the first bidirectional damper 42 of the first damping member 4 will give the first rotating shaft 102 a first damping force. Therefore, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 102 is restricted by the first damping member 4, and the priority of the movement of the first rotating member 2 is affected by the first damping force given by the first damping member 4. The second rotating member 3 can rotate before the first rotating member 2.

[0110] like Figure 7 As shown, the first bidirectional damper 42 can be a single-line bidirectional damper. The first bidirectional damper 42 is divided into two parts in the length direction. One end of the first bidirectional damper 42 in the length direction is located in the first part and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 1. The other end of the first bidirectional damper 42 in the length direction is located in the second part and is fixedly connected to the first bearing seat 11. The first part and the second part of the first bidirectional damper 42 can rotate relative to each other, and the extension direction of the rotation axis is parallel to the length direction of the first bidirectional damper 42.

[0111] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The length direction of the first bidirectional damper 42 extends along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 102, that is, the first bidirectional damper 42 is coaxially arranged with the first rotating shaft 102 to ensure that the first bidirectional damper 42 can provide damping force to the first rotating shaft 102.

[0112] The first bidirectional damper 42 has a first connecting part 421 at both ends in the length direction. The two first connecting parts 421 are respectively provided with connecting holes. One of the two first connecting parts 421 is connected to the connecting seat 1, and a fastener passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the connecting seat 1. The other one is connected to the first bearing seat 11, and a fastener passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the first bearing seat 11.

[0113] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The second damping element 6 also includes a second bidirectional damper 62, which is connected between the second bearing seat 31 and the second rotating element 3.

[0114] The second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63 cooperate through the second bearing seat 31 so that the second damping member 6 provides a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203 to prevent it from rotating around the first direction during the rotation of the first rotating member 2 from the first closed position to the first open position, thereby preventing the second rotating member 3 from rotating to the second open position; and when the first rotating member 2 rotates to the second open position and the external driving force acting on the second rotating shaft 203 is greater than the second damping force, the second rotating shaft 203 is allowed to rotate around the first direction so that the second rotating shaft 203 drives the second rotating member 3 to rotate from the second closed position to the second open position, with the first direction being opposite to the second direction.

[0115] Specifically, the second damping element 6 includes: a second bearing housing 31, a second one-way bearing 63, and a second bidirectional damper 62. The second bidirectional damper 62 is connected between the second bearing housing 31 and the second rotating element 3. The second rotating shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the first rotating element 2. While the second rotating element 3 rotates relative to the first rotating element 2, the second rotating shaft 203 also rotates relative to the second rotating element 3.

[0116] The second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63 are coupled through the second bearing housing 31. The second one-way bearing 63 is mounted on the second bearing housing 31 and sleeved on the second rotating shaft 203. The second one-way bearing 63 includes an outer ring and an inner ring, with rollers disposed between the inner and outer rings. The outer ring of the second one-way bearing 63 is fixedly connected to the second bearing housing 31, and the inner ring of the second one-way bearing 63 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 203. The second one-way bearing 63 is configured to allow the second rotating shaft 203 to rotate about a first direction, so that the second... When the rotating shaft 203 drives the second rotating member 3 to rotate from the second open position to the second closed position, and the second rotating shaft 203 has a tendency to rotate around a second direction opposite to the first direction under the drive of external force, the inner and outer rings of the second one-way bearing 63 will rotate synchronously with the second rotating shaft 203, that is, the second bearing seat 31 will rotate synchronously with the second rotating shaft 203. At this time, the second bidirectional damper 62 provided between the second bearing seat 31 and the second rotating member 3 will give the second bearing seat 31 and the second rotating shaft 203 a second damping force.

[0117] Thus, the coaxially arranged second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63 together form a one-way damping structure. When the second rotating shaft 203 has a tendency to rotate relative to the second rotating member 3 in the first direction, since the second one-way bearing 63 does not generate damping force for the movement in this direction, the second rotating shaft 203 can rotate relative to the second rotating member 3 in the first direction at the second one-way bearing 63.

[0118] When the second rotating shaft 203 tends to rotate in the second direction relative to the second rotating member 3, since the damping force provided by the second one-way bearing 63 to the movement of the second rotating shaft 203 in the second direction is much greater than the damping force provided by the second bidirectional damper 62 to the movement of the second rotating shaft 203 in the second direction, when the external force can overcome the second damping force provided by the second bidirectional damper 62, the second rotating shaft 203 rotates in the second direction relative to the second rotating member 3 at the second bidirectional damper 62.

[0119] Therefore, during the rotation of the connecting assembly 100 from the closed position to the open position, the second damping member 6, composed of the second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63, provides a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203 to prevent it from rotating around the second direction, thereby preventing the second rotating member 3 from rotating to the second open position; and when the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first open position and the external driving force acting on the second rotating shaft 203 is greater than the second damping force, the second rotating shaft 203 is allowed to rotate around the second direction, so that the second rotating shaft 203 drives the second rotating member 3 to rotate from the second closed position to the second open position.

[0120] In other words, the second damping element 6, which consists of the second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63, is adapted to provide a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203 only during the process of the connecting assembly 100 rotating from the closed position to the open position. During the process of the connecting assembly 100 rotating from the open position to the closed position, the second damping element 6, which consists of the second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63, does not provide a damping force.

[0121] When the connecting component 100 is installed on the door 300 of the garment handling device and the connecting seat 1 is connected to the panel 200, and the second rotating member 3 is connected to the door 300, during the closing process of the door 300, the second rotating member 3 has a higher rotation priority relative to the first rotating member 2 than the first rotating member 2 has a higher rotation priority relative to the connecting seat 1. Therefore, the second rotating member 3 can rotate from the second open / closed position to the second closed position around the second rotating axis 203 before the first rotating member 2.

[0122] During the process of the connecting component 100 rotating from the closed position to the open position, the second bidirectional damper 62 provides a second damping force. During the opening of the door 300, the motion priority of the second rotating member 3 relative to the first rotating member 2 is lower than the motion priority of the first rotating member 2 relative to the connecting seat 1. Therefore, the second rotating member 3 rotates from the first closed position to the first open position around the first rotating axis 102 and then rotates from the second closed position to the second open position.

[0123] Specifically, in combination Figures 8-16 In the illustrated embodiment, when the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the closed position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, the second rotating member 3 has a tendency to rotate to the second closed position, the second rotating shaft 203 has a tendency to rotate along the first direction, and the second one-way bearing 63 is configured to allow the second rotating shaft 203 to rotate around the first direction. Therefore, the rotation of the second rotating shaft 203 is not restricted by the second one-way member, and thus, the priority of the movement of the second rotating member 3 is not affected, and the second rotating member 3 can rotate before the first rotating member 2.

[0124] When the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the open position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, the second rotating member 3 has a tendency to rotate to the second open position, and the second rotating shaft 203 has a tendency to rotate in the second direction opposite to the first direction. When the second rotating shaft 203 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the second bidirectional damper 62 of the second damping member 6 will give the second rotating shaft 203 a second damping force. Therefore, the rotation of the second rotating shaft 203 is restricted by the second damping member 6, and the priority of the movement of the second rotating member 3 is affected by the second damping force given by the second damping member 6. The first rotating member 2 can rotate before the second rotating member 3.

[0125] Reference Figure 6 The second bidirectional damper 62 can be a single-line bidirectional damper. The second bidirectional damper 62 is divided into two parts in the length direction. One end of the second bidirectional damper 62 in the length direction is located in the first part and is fixedly connected to the second rotating member 3. The other end of the second bidirectional damper 62 in the length direction is located in the second part and is fixedly connected to the second bearing seat 31. The first part and the second part of the second bidirectional damper 62 can rotate relative to each other, and the extension direction of the rotation axis is parallel to the length direction of the second bidirectional damper 62.

[0126] like Figure 4 As shown, the length direction of the second bidirectional damper 62 extends along the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 203, that is, the second bidirectional damper 62 is coaxially arranged with the second rotating shaft 203 to ensure that the second bidirectional damper 62 can provide damping force to the second rotating shaft 203.

[0127] The second bidirectional damper 62 has a second connecting part 621 at both ends in the length direction. The two second connecting parts 621 are respectively provided with connecting holes. One of the two second connecting parts 621 is connected to the second rotating member 3, and a fastener passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the second rotating member 3. The other part is connected to the second bearing seat 31, and a fastener passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the second bearing seat 31.

[0128] In other embodiments, the first damping element 4 includes a spring adapted to store elastic potential energy when the first rotating element 2 is in the first closed position, so that when the elastic potential energy is released, the first rotating element 2 can be driven to rotate from the first closed position to the first open position by driving the first rotating shaft 102 to rotate. By setting the spring, the first damping force can be provided during the closing of the door 300, and the door 300 can be opened automatically. After the user unlocks the door 300 of the clothing handling device, the door 300 will automatically pop out, and the first rotating element 2 will rotate from the first closed position to the first open position under the drive of the elastic potential energy released by the spring.

[0129] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 6In the illustrated embodiment, the first rotating member 2 has a first connecting lug 22 on the side near the second rotating member 3, and the first connecting lug 22 defines a first shaft hole 221. The setting of the first connecting lug 22 provides a position for the opening of the first shaft hole 221, facilitating the installation of the connecting assembly 100. The second rotating member 3 has a second connecting lug 32 on the side near the first rotating member 2, and the second connecting lug 32 defines a second shaft hole 321. The setting of the second connecting lug 32 provides a position for the opening of the second shaft hole 321, facilitating the installation of the connecting assembly 100. The second rotating shaft 203 mates with the first shaft hole 221 and the second shaft hole 321. The first connecting lug 22 and the second connecting lug 32 are alternately arranged in the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 203, which can increase the strength of the connection between the first rotating member 2 and the second rotating member 3, and ensure the stability of the relative rotation between the first rotating member 2 and the second rotating member 3.

[0130] The second bidirectional damper 62 is connected between the second bearing housing 31 and the second connecting lug 32 to ensure that the second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63 can be coaxially arranged with the second rotating shaft 203 without occupying extra space.

[0131] In this configuration, at least one first connecting lug 22 and a second connecting lug 32 are spaced apart, with a space provided for installing the second damping element 6. At this time, the second bearing seat 31 and the second bidirectional damper 62 are both located between the first connecting lug 22 and the second connecting lug 32.

[0132] Alternatively, there may be multiple second connecting lugs 32, with at least two second connecting lugs 32 spaced apart. The two spaced second connecting lugs 32 define a space for the second damping element 6. In this case, the second bearing seat 31 and the second bidirectional damper 62 are both located between two adjacent second connecting lugs 32.

[0133] In order to ensure the connection stability of the connecting component 100, the lugs on both sides of the second damping member 6 are respectively passed through different half shafts of the second rotating shaft 203. Specifically, the second rotating shaft 203 includes two coaxially arranged half shafts, and the second bidirectional damping is located between the two half shafts.

[0134] The axis of rotation of the first rotating shaft 102 and the axis of rotation of the second rotating shaft 203 are arranged in parallel to avoid interference during the relative rotation of the connecting seat 1, the first rotating component 2 and the second rotating component 3, and to ensure that the second rotating component 3 can rotate a sufficiently large angle relative to the connecting seat 1.

[0135] Combination Figures 3-5 , Figure 8 , Figure 12 and Figure 15In the embodiment shown, the connecting seat 1 has an opening 12, a first rotating shaft 102 is located at the opening 12, and a first rotating member 2 passes through the opening 12. When the first rotating member 2 is in the first closed position, most of the structure of the first rotating member 2 is housed inside the connecting seat 1, and part of it extends out of the connecting seat 1 through the opening and connects with the second rotating member 3. When the first rotating member 2 is in the first open position, part of the structure of the first rotating member 2 rotates to the outside of the connecting seat 1.

[0136] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the first rotating member 2 is bent relative to the second rotating member 3, and the bent position of the first rotating member 2 is located between the first rotating shaft 102 and the second rotating shaft 203. The bent portion on the first rotating member 2 can divide the first rotating member 2 into multiple parts with different extension directions. The multiple parts have different travel distances during the rotation of the first rotating member 2 relative to the first rotating shaft 102. By controlling the bending angle and the structure of the bent portion, different purposes can be achieved.

[0137] Wherein, after the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first open position, the position of the first rotating member 2 is fixed, and the position of the second rotating shaft 203 is fixed. At this time, when the second rotating member 3 is rotated, the structure on the side of the second rotating shaft 203 facing the first rotating shaft 102 will interfere with the first rotating member 2 during the rotation. By making the first rotating member 2 bend relative to the second rotating member 3, it is possible to avoid the second rotating member 3 in the second open position while connecting with the first rotating shaft 102.

[0138] In some embodiments, when the second rotating member 3 is in the second open position, the end of the first rotating member 2 near the second rotating member 3 is in the same direction as the extension direction of the second rotating member 3.

[0139] A clothing handling device according to a second aspect of the present invention includes: a panel 200 and a door 300.

[0140] Among them, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The panel 200 has a through-hole 2002. In some embodiments, the through-hole 2002 is connected to the clothing inlet of the clothing processing chamber. The door 300 of the clothing processing device is located at the clothing inlet of the clothing processing device to ensure the sealing of the clothing processing chamber while opening and closing the through-hole 2002.

[0141] The door 300 is disposed on the outside of the panel 200 via a connecting component 100 and is movable between the closed opening 2002 position and the open opening 2002 position. The connecting component 100 is the same as described in the above embodiment. By employing the connecting component 100, the door 300 of the garment handling device can move a certain distance away from the panel 200 during opening and then flip outward to open the garment loading port. Thus, the door 300 can be embedded inside the panel 200 of the garment handling device, reducing the space occupied by the garment handling device in the thickness direction of the panel 200 and improving the aesthetic appearance of the garment handling device.

[0142] The connecting seat 1 is fixedly connected to the panel 200, and the second rotating part 3 is fixedly connected to the door body 300.

[0143] In some embodiments, the connecting base 1 is provided with a first mounting hole, the panel 200 is provided with a first mating hole, the fixing member passes through the first mounting hole and the first mating hole to fix the connecting base 1 and the panel 200, the second rotating member 3 is provided with a second mounting hole, the door body 300 is provided with a second mating hole, and the fixing member passes through the second connecting hole and the second mating hole to fix the second rotating member 3 and the door body 300.

[0144] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 The outer side of the panel 200 has a recessed portion 2001 recessed along its thickness direction. The opening 2002 is provided on the bottom wall of the recessed portion 2001. The door 300 can be embedded in the recessed portion 2001, reducing the space occupied by the clothing processing device in the thickness direction of the panel 200 and improving the aesthetic appearance of the clothing processing device.

[0145] When the first rotating member 2 is in the first closed position and the second rotating member 3 is in the second closed position, the connecting assembly 100 is in the first state. When the connecting assembly 100 is in the first state, the door body 300 is in the position of closing the opening 2002 and the door body 300 is at least partially accommodated in the receiving recess 2001.

[0146] When the first rotating member 2 is in the first open position and the second rotating member 3 is in the second closed position, the connecting assembly 100 is in the second state, the door 300 opens the passage 2002 and the opening angle of the door 300 relative to the panel 200 is a first preset angle. When the connecting assembly 100 is in the second state, there is a gap between the edge of the door 300 and the passage 2002 to ensure that the door 300 has enough space to rotate around the second rotating shaft 203.

[0147] When the first rotating member 2 is in the first open position and the second rotating member 3 is in the second open position, the connecting component 100 is in the third state, the door 300 opens the passage 2002 and the opening angle of the door 300 relative to the panel 200 is the second preset angle, which is greater than the first preset angle. When the connecting component 100 is in the second state, the door 300 is in the position of opening the passage 2002 and has the maximum opening angle.

[0148] The clothing processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0149] The garment handling device includes: a door 300, a panel 200, and a connecting component 100.

[0150] The panel 200 has an opening 2002 that communicates with the garment inlet of the garment processing chamber. A door 300 of the garment processing device is located at the garment inlet. The door 300 is mounted on the outside of the panel 200 via a connecting assembly 100 and is movable between a closed and open position of the opening 2002, ensuring the sealing of the garment processing chamber while opening and closing the opening 2002. The outer side of the panel 200 has a recessed receiving portion 2001 along its thickness direction. The opening 2002 is located on the bottom wall of the receiving recess 2001. The door 300 can be embedded within the receiving recess 2001, reducing the space occupied by the garment processing device in the thickness direction of the panel 200 and improving the aesthetic appearance of the garment processing device.

[0151] The connecting assembly 100 includes: a first rotating shaft 102, a second rotating shaft 203, a connecting seat 1, a first rotating component 2, a second rotating component 3, a first damping component 4, and a second damping component 6. The connecting seat 1 has a first mounting hole, and the panel 200 has a first mating hole. A fixing component passes through the first mounting hole and the first mating hole to fix the connecting seat 1 to the panel 200. The second rotating component 3 has a second mounting hole, and the door body 300 has a second mating hole. A fixing component passes through the second connecting hole and the second mating hole to fix the second rotating component 3 to the door body 300.

[0152] like Figure 4 As shown, the first rotating member 2 is provided with a third-direction [e.g., at the position where it mates with the first rotating shaft 102] Figure 4 As shown in C, the third connecting lug 23 is spaced apart on the upper part. The connecting seat 1 is provided with a fourth connecting lug 13 spaced apart on the third direction at the point where it cooperates with the first rotating shaft 102 on the side facing the door body 300. The two fourth connecting lugs 13 are located on both sides of the two third connecting lugs 23 in the first direction.

[0153] The first rotating member 2 is provided with three first connecting lugs 22 spaced apart in the first direction at the position where it mates with the second rotating shaft 203. The second rotating member 3 is provided with four second connecting lugs 32 spaced apart in the first direction at the position where it mates with the second rotating shaft 203. The first connecting lugs 22 and the second connecting lugs 32 are arranged crosswise in the first direction.

[0154] The first rotating shaft 102 passes sequentially through the third connecting lug 23 and the fourth connecting lug 13 along the first direction. Two half-shafts forming the second rotating shaft 203 pass sequentially through the first connecting lug 22 and the second connecting lug 32 along the first direction. The first connecting lug 22, the second connecting lug 32, the third connecting lug 23, and the fourth connecting lug 13 provide mounting positions for the first rotating shaft 102 and the second rotating shaft 203. Simultaneously, the first rotating member 2 is confined between two adjacent fourth connecting lugs 13, and the second rotating member 3 is confined between multiple adjacent first connecting lugs 22 and second connecting lugs 32.

[0155] There are two second connecting lugs 32 spaced apart, and a space is provided for installing the second damping member 6. Thus, the second bearing seat 31 and the second bidirectional damper 62 in the second damping member 6 can be located between the two second connecting lugs 32.

[0156] The panel 200 has an opening to allow the first rotating member 2 to pass through. The connecting seat 1 has an opening 12 that communicates with the opening. The first rotating shaft 102 is located at the opening 12, and the first rotating member 2 passes through the opening 12. When the first rotating member 2 is in the first closed position, most of its structure is housed within the connecting seat 1, and part of it extends through the opening to connect with the second rotating member 3. When the first rotating member 2 is in the first open position, part of its structure rotates to the outside of the connecting seat 1.

[0157] The connection component 100 has a first state, a second state, and a third state.

[0158] When the first rotating member 2 is in the first closed position and the second rotating member 3 is in the second closed position, the connecting assembly 100 is in the first state. When the connecting assembly 100 is in the first state, the door body 300 is in the position of closing the opening 2002 and the door body 300 is at least partially accommodated in the receiving recess 2001.

[0159] When the first rotating member 2 is in the first open position and the second rotating member 3 is in the second closed position, the connecting assembly 100 is in the second state, the door 300 opens the passage 2002 and the opening angle of the door 300 relative to the panel 200 is a first preset angle. When the connecting assembly 100 is in the second state, there is a gap between the edge of the door 300 and the passage 2002 to ensure that the door 300 has enough space to rotate around the second rotating shaft 203.

[0160] When the first rotating member 2 is in the first open position and the second rotating member 3 is in the second open position, the connecting component 100 is in the third state, the door 300 opens the passage 2002 and the opening angle of the door 300 relative to the panel 200 is the second preset angle, which is greater than the first preset angle. When the connecting component 100 is in the second state, the door 300 is in the position of opening the passage 2002 and has the maximum opening angle.

[0161] Due to the presence of the first damping element 4 and the second damping element 6, the movement of the first rotating element 2 and the second rotating element 3 can execute the corresponding movement sequence. Specifically, during the opening of the door 300, the position of the connecting seat 1 remains unchanged. The first rotating element 2 first rotates relative to the connecting seat 1 around the first rotating shaft 102, rotating from the first closed position to the first open position. During this process, the second rotating element 3 remains in the second closed position under the action of the second damping element 6. Further, after the first rotating element 2 rotates to the first open position around the first rotating shaft 102, all external forces will act on the second damping element 6. The second damping element 6 overcomes the damping force under the action of external forces. At this time, the movement restriction of the second rotating element 3 by the second damping element 6 is released, and the second rotating element 3 can rotate relative to the first rotating element 2 around the second rotating shaft 203. The second rotating element 3 rotates from the second closed position to the second open position. During this process, the relative position of the first rotating element 2 and the connecting seat 1 remains unchanged in the first open position. When the second rotating element 3 rotates to the second open position, the door 300 rotates to its maximum angle.

[0162] During the closing process of the door 300, the positions of the first rotating member 2 and the connecting seat 1 remain unchanged. The second rotating member 3 first rotates relative to the first rotating member 2 around the second rotating shaft 203, rotating from the second open position to the second closed position. During this process, the first rotating member 2 remains in the first open position under the action of the first damping member 4. Further, after the second rotating member 3 rotates to the second closed position around the second rotating shaft 203, all external forces will act on the first damping member 4. The first damping member 4 overcomes the damping force under the action of external forces. At this time, the movement restriction of the first rotating member 2 by the first damping member 4 is released, and the first rotating member 2 can rotate relative to the connecting seat 1 around the first rotating shaft 102. The first rotating member 2 rotates from the first open position to the first closed position. During this process, the second rotating member 3 remains unchanged in the second closed position. When the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first closed position, the door 300 closes.

[0163] Specifically, refer to Figures 4-7 The first damping element 4 includes: a first bearing housing 11, a first one-way bearing 43, and a first bidirectional damper 42. The first bidirectional damper 42 is connected between the first bearing housing 11 and the connecting seat 1. The first rotating shaft 102 is fixedly connected to the first rotating member 2. While the first rotating member 2 rotates relative to the connecting seat 1, the first rotating shaft 102 can also rotate relative to the connecting seat 1.

[0164] The first bidirectional damper 42 and the first one-way bearing 43 are engaged through the first bearing housing 11. The first one-way bearing 43 is mounted on the first bearing housing 11 and sleeved on the first rotating shaft 102. The first one-way bearing 43 includes an outer ring and an inner ring, with rollers disposed between the inner and outer rings. The outer ring of the first one-way bearing 43 is fixedly connected to the first bearing housing 11, and the inner ring of the first one-way bearing 43 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 102. The first one-way bearing 43 is configured to allow the first rotating shaft 102 to rotate around a first direction, so that the first rotating shaft 102 drives the first rotating member 2 to rotate from the first closed position to the first open position. When the first rotating shaft 102 has a tendency to rotate around a second direction opposite to the first direction under the drive of external force, the first one-way bearing 43 transmits force to the first bearing housing 11. At this time, the first bidirectional damper 42 disposed between the first bearing housing 11 and the connecting seat 1 will give the first bearing housing 11 and the first rotating shaft 102 a first damping force.

[0165] Thus, the coaxially arranged first bidirectional damper 42 and the first one-way bearing 43 together form a one-way damping structure. When the first rotating shaft 102 has a tendency to rotate relative to the connecting seat 1 in the first direction, since the first one-way bearing 43 does not generate damping force for the movement in this direction, the first rotating shaft 102 can rotate relative to the connecting seat 1 in the first direction at the first one-way bearing 43.

[0166] When the first rotating shaft 102 tends to rotate in the second direction relative to the connecting seat 1, since the damping force provided by the first one-way bearing 43 to the movement of the first rotating shaft 102 in the second direction is much greater than the damping force provided by the first bidirectional damper 42 to the movement of the first rotating shaft 102 in the second direction, when the external force can overcome the first damping force provided by the first bidirectional damper 42, the first rotating shaft 102 rotates in the second direction relative to the connecting seat 1 at the first bidirectional damper 42.

[0167] Therefore, during the rotation of the connecting assembly 100 from the open position to the closed position, the first damping member 4, composed of the first bidirectional damper 42 and the first one-way bearing 43, provides the first rotating shaft 102 with a first damping force to prevent it from rotating in the second direction, so as to prevent the first rotating member 2 from rotating to the first closed position; and when the second rotating member 3 rotates to the second closed position and the external driving force acting on the first rotating shaft 102 is greater than the first damping force, the first rotating shaft 102 is allowed to rotate in the second direction, so that the first rotating shaft 102 drives the first rotating member 2 to rotate from the first open position to the first closed position.

[0168] In other words, the first damping element 4, which is composed of the first bidirectional damper 42 and the first one-way bearing 43, is adapted to provide the first damping force to the first rotating shaft 102 only during the process of the connecting assembly 100 rotating from the open position to the closed position. During the process of the connecting assembly 100 rotating from the closed position to the open position, the first damping element 4, which is composed of the first bidirectional damper 42 and the first one-way bearing 43, does not provide damping force.

[0169] When the connecting component 100 is installed on the door 300 of the garment handling device and the connecting seat 1 is connected to the panel 200, and the second rotating member 3 is connected to the door 300, during the opening of the door 300, the first rotating member 2 has a higher rotation priority relative to the connecting seat 1 than the second rotating member 3 has a higher rotation priority relative to the first rotating member 2. Therefore, the first rotating member 2 can rotate from the first closed position to the first open position around the first rotating axis 102 before the second rotating member 3.

[0170] During the process of the connecting component 100 rotating from the open position to the closed position, the first bidirectional damper 42 provides the first damping force. During the closing process of the door 300, the motion priority of the first rotating member 2 relative to the connecting seat 1 is lower than the motion priority of the second rotating member 3 relative to the first rotating member 2. Therefore, the first rotating member 2 rotates from the second open position to the second closed position around the second rotating member 3 around the second rotating axis 203, and then rotates from the first open position to the first closed position.

[0171] Specifically, in combination Figures 8-16In the illustrated embodiment, when the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the open position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, the first rotating member 2 has a tendency to rotate to the first open position, the first rotating shaft 102 has a tendency to rotate along the first direction, and the first one-way bearing 43 is configured to allow the first rotating shaft 102 to rotate around the first direction. Therefore, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 102 is not restricted by the first one-way member, and thus, the priority of the movement of the first rotating member 2 is not affected, and the first rotating member 2 can rotate before the second rotating member 3.

[0172] When the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the closed position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100. The first rotating member 2 has a tendency to rotate to the first closed position, and the first rotating shaft 102 has a tendency to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction. When the first rotating shaft 102 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the first bidirectional damper 42 of the first damping member 4 will give the first rotating shaft 102 a first damping force. Therefore, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 102 is restricted by the first damping member 4, and the priority of the movement of the first rotating member 2 is affected by the first damping force given by the first damping member 4. The second rotating member 3 can rotate before the first rotating member 2.

[0173] like Figure 7 As shown, the first bidirectional damper 42 can be a single-line bidirectional damper. The first bidirectional damper 42 is divided into two parts in the length direction. One end of the first bidirectional damper 42 in the length direction is located in the first part and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 1. The other end of the first bidirectional damper 42 in the length direction is located in the second part and is fixedly connected to the first bearing seat 11. The first part and the second part of the first bidirectional damper 42 can rotate relative to each other, and the extension direction of the rotation axis is parallel to the length direction of the first bidirectional damper 42.

[0174] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The length direction of the first bidirectional damper 42 extends along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 102, that is, the first bidirectional damper 42 is coaxially arranged with the first rotating shaft 102 to ensure that the first bidirectional damper 42 can provide damping force to the first rotating shaft 102.

[0175] The first bidirectional damper 42 has a first connecting part 421 at both ends in the length direction. The two first connecting parts 421 are respectively provided with connecting holes. One of the two first connecting parts 421 is connected to the connecting seat 1, and a fastener passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the connecting seat 1. The other one is connected to the first bearing seat 11, and a fastener passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the first bearing seat 11.

[0176] The second damping element 6 includes: a second bearing housing 31, a second one-way bearing 63, and a second bidirectional damper 62. The second bidirectional damper 62 is connected between the second bearing housing 31 and the second rotating member 3. The second rotating shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the first rotating member 2. While the second rotating member 3 rotates relative to the first rotating member 2, the second rotating shaft 203 also rotates relative to the second rotating member 3.

[0177] The second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63 are coupled through the second bearing housing 31. The second one-way bearing 63 is mounted on the second bearing housing 31 and sleeved on the second rotating shaft 203. The second one-way bearing 63 includes an outer ring and an inner ring, with rollers disposed between the inner and outer rings. The outer ring of the second one-way bearing 63 is fixedly connected to the second bearing housing 31, and the inner ring of the second one-way bearing 63 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 203. The second one-way bearing 63 is configured to allow the second rotating shaft 203 to rotate about a first direction, so that the second... When the rotating shaft 203 drives the second rotating member 3 to rotate from the second open position to the second closed position, and the second rotating shaft 203 has a tendency to rotate around a second direction opposite to the first direction under the drive of external force, the inner and outer rings of the second one-way bearing 63 will rotate synchronously with the second rotating shaft 203, that is, the second bearing seat 31 will rotate synchronously with the second rotating shaft 203. At this time, the second bidirectional damper 62 provided between the second bearing seat 31 and the second rotating member 3 will give the second bearing seat 31 and the second rotating shaft 203 a second damping force.

[0178] Thus, the coaxially arranged second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63 together form a one-way damping structure. When the second rotating shaft 203 has a tendency to rotate relative to the second rotating member 3 in the first direction, since the second one-way bearing 63 does not generate damping force for the movement in this direction, the second rotating shaft 203 can rotate relative to the second rotating member 3 in the first direction at the second one-way bearing 63.

[0179] When the second rotating shaft 203 tends to rotate in the second direction relative to the second rotating member 3, since the damping force provided by the second one-way bearing 63 to the movement of the second rotating shaft 203 in the second direction is much greater than the damping force provided by the second bidirectional damper 62 to the movement of the second rotating shaft 203 in the second direction, when the external force can overcome the second damping force provided by the second bidirectional damper 62, the second rotating shaft 203 rotates in the second direction relative to the second rotating member 3 at the second bidirectional damper 62.

[0180] Therefore, during the rotation of the connecting assembly 100 from the closed position to the open position, the second damping member 6, composed of the second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63, provides a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203 to prevent it from rotating around the second direction, thereby preventing the second rotating member 3 from rotating to the second open position; and when the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first open position and the external driving force acting on the second rotating shaft 203 is greater than the second damping force, the second rotating shaft 203 is allowed to rotate around the second direction, so that the second rotating shaft 203 drives the second rotating member 3 to rotate from the second closed position to the second open position.

[0181] In other words, the second damping element 6, which consists of the second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63, is adapted to provide a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203 only during the process of the connecting assembly 100 rotating from the closed position to the open position. During the process of the connecting assembly 100 rotating from the open position to the closed position, the second damping element 6, which consists of the second bidirectional damper 62 and the second one-way bearing 63, does not provide a damping force.

[0182] When the connecting component 100 is installed on the door 300 of the garment handling device and the connecting seat 1 is connected to the panel 200, and the second rotating member 3 is connected to the door 300, during the closing process of the door 300, the second rotating member 3 has a higher rotation priority relative to the first rotating member 2 than the first rotating member 2 has a higher rotation priority relative to the connecting seat 1. Therefore, the second rotating member 3 can rotate from the second open / closed position to the second closed position around the second rotating axis 203 before the first rotating member 2.

[0183] During the process of the connecting component 100 rotating from the closed position to the open position, the second bidirectional damper 62 provides a second damping force. During the opening of the door 300, the motion priority of the second rotating member 3 relative to the first rotating member 2 is lower than the motion priority of the first rotating member 2 relative to the connecting seat 1. Therefore, the second rotating member 3 rotates from the first closed position to the first open position around the first rotating axis 102 and then rotates from the second closed position to the second open position.

[0184] Specifically, in combination Figures 8-16 In the illustrated embodiment, when the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the closed position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, the second rotating member 3 has a tendency to rotate to the second closed position, the second rotating shaft 203 has a tendency to rotate along the first direction, and the second one-way bearing 63 is configured to allow the second rotating shaft 203 to rotate around the first direction. Therefore, the rotation of the second rotating shaft 203 is not restricted by the second one-way member, and thus, the priority of the movement of the second rotating member 3 is not affected, and the second rotating member 3 can rotate before the first rotating member 2.

[0185] When the door 300 of the garment handling device moves to the open position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, the second rotating member 3 has a tendency to rotate to the second open position, and the second rotating shaft 203 has a tendency to rotate in the second direction opposite to the first direction. When the second rotating shaft 203 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the second bidirectional damper 62 of the second damping member 6 will give the second rotating shaft 203 a second damping force. Therefore, the rotation of the second rotating shaft 203 is restricted by the second damping member 6, and the priority of the movement of the second rotating member 3 is affected by the second damping force given by the second damping member 6. The first rotating member 2 can rotate before the second rotating member 3.

[0186] Reference Figure 6 The second bidirectional damper 62 can be a single-line bidirectional damper. The second bidirectional damper 62 is divided into two parts in the length direction. One end of the second bidirectional damper 62 in the length direction is located in the first part and is fixedly connected to the second rotating member 3. The other end of the second bidirectional damper 62 in the length direction is located in the second part and is fixedly connected to the second bearing seat 31. The first part and the second part of the second bidirectional damper 62 can rotate relative to each other, and the extension direction of the rotation axis is parallel to the length direction of the second bidirectional damper 62.

[0187] like Figure 4 As shown, the length direction of the second bidirectional damper 62 extends along the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 203, that is, the second bidirectional damper 62 is coaxially arranged with the second rotating shaft 203 to ensure that the second bidirectional damper 62 can provide damping force to the second rotating shaft 203.

[0188] The second bidirectional damper 62 has a second connecting part 621 at both ends in the length direction. The two second connecting parts 621 are respectively provided with connecting holes. One of the two second connecting parts 621 is connected to the second rotating member 3, and a fastener passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the second rotating member 3. The other part is connected to the second bearing seat 31, and a fastener passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the second bearing seat 31.
