[0026] 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.

[0027] With the development of dryers, users are increasingly pursuing small size and large capacity. As dryers become smaller, during the drying process, the clothes squeeze the dryer door. When the squeezing force exceeds the locking force of the door lock, the door is pushed open by the clothes, causing the machine to stop. In the existing technology, the middle surface of the door is concave, and the squeezing force generated by the roller driving the clothes to rotate is more easily concentrated on the door, thus squeezing the door open. Therefore, how to optimize the door structure and reduce the risk of the door being squeezed open by clothes has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0028] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 This invention describes a garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] The garment processing device 1 according to the present invention includes: a body 10 and a door 11. The body 10 is provided with an opening. The door 11 is provided on the body 10 in an openable and closable manner to be adapted to open or close the opening. A protrusion 12 is formed on the side of the door 11 facing the body 10. At least a portion of the protrusion 12 is provided with a guide surface 111 in the direction near the edge of the door 11. The guide surface 111 is constructed as a curved surface.

[0030] Specifically, the garment processing device 1 can be configured as a dryer or a washer-dryer combo, etc. An opening is provided on the body 10, through which garments can enter for washing and drying. The door 11 can be hinged to the body, allowing the opening to be opened or closed to ensure the sealing and safety of the garment processing device 1 during operation. A protrusion 12 is designed on the side of the door 11 facing the interior of the body 10. The protrusion 12 can be configured as a viewing window structure on the door 11, allowing observation of the washing and drying of garments inside the body 10. At least a portion of the protrusion 12 forms a guide surface 111 in the direction near the edge of the door 11. The guide surface 111 is curved, and the circumferentially extending curved guide surface 111 is formed on the protrusion 12. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the center of the guide surface 111 is high and the edge is low, which avoids the pressure of the clothes being concentrated on the protrusion 12 during the rotation of the clothes inside the machine body 10. During the rotation of the clothes, the curved surface on the protrusion 12 can disperse the pressure generated by the rotation of the clothes in the circumferential direction, guide the clothes to other parts of the door body 11, avoid the clothes from accumulating at the door body 11 and thus concentrate the pressure on the door body 11, reduce the risk of the door body 11 being squeezed open by the clothes, and improve the safety of the clothes handling equipment 1.

[0031] According to the present invention, the clothing processing device 1 has a protrusion 12 on the inner side of the door 11. A guide surface 111 is formed on the part of the protrusion 12 near the edge of the door 11. The guide surface 111 is curved. During the rotation of the clothing inside the machine body 10, the clothing can be moved to a position away from the edge of the door 11 under the guidance of the guide surface 111, so as to avoid the clothing from accumulating at the edge of the door 11 and squeezing the door 11 open, thus ensuring the safe operation of the clothing processing device 1.

[0032] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the guide surface 111 is constructed as a conical surface with a diameter that gradually decreases in the direction away from the opening.

[0033] Specifically, when the door 11 closes the opening, the guide surface 111 is constructed as a cone in the direction away from the opening of the machine body 10, and the diameter of the cone gradually decreases. The cone design reduces the friction of the guide surface 111 on the clothes. During the rotation of the clothes inside the machine body 10, the clothes can move along the surface of the guide surface 111. The guide surface 111 can guide the clothes to the middle area of ​​the door 11, avoiding the accumulation of clothes at the edge of the door 11, thereby reducing the risk of the door 11 being squeezed open by the clothes and improving the working safety of the clothes handling equipment 1.

[0034] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a hinge 14 connected to the body 10 is provided on one side of the door body 11, a buckle 15 cooperating with the body 10 is provided on the other side of the door body 11, and a guide surface 111 is provided on the other edge of the door body 11.

[0035] Specifically, a hinge 14 connected to the body 10 is provided on one side of the door body 11. The door body 11 can rotate relative to the body 10 by hinge, which facilitates the opening of the body 10 by the door body 11. A buckle 15 that cooperates with the body 10 is provided on the other side of the door body 11. It is used to lock the door body 11 and the body 10 when the door body 11 is closed. When the door body 11 is pushed towards the body 10, the buckle 15 will cooperate with the body 10 to lock the door body 11 and prevent the door body 11 from being opened accidentally. The guide surface 111 is located on the other edge of the door body 11, that is, the guide surface 111 is located on the side close to the buckle 15. During the operation of the garment processing equipment 1, as the garment rotates inside the machine body 10, the garment moves along the guide surface 111. Through the guidance of the guide surface 111, the garment can be guided to an area away from the buckle 15, avoiding the garment from accumulating at the connection between the door body 11 and the machine body 10 and squeezing the door body 11 open, thus ensuring a stable fit between the door body 11 and the machine body 10.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the protrusion 12 includes a first protrusion 131 and a second protrusion 132. The first protrusion 131 is disposed on the bottom edge of the door body 11; the second protrusion 132 is disposed on the other side of the door body 11. The thickness of the second protrusion 132 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first protrusion 131 so as to form a guide surface 111 on the surface of the second protrusion 132.

[0037] Specifically, the first protrusion 131 is disposed at the bottom edge of the door body 11, improving the sealing performance of the bottom of the door body 11. The first protrusion 131 also enhances the support force at the bottom of the door body 11. The first protrusion 131 serves as the base part of the protrusion 12. The inner edge of the second protrusion 132 connects with the edge of the first protrusion 131, forming a continuous and smooth transition between the first protrusion 131 and the second protrusion 132, ensuring the overall aesthetics of the protrusion 12. The thickness of the second protrusion 132 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first protrusion 131. The outer edge of the second protrusion 132 extends to the edge of the door body 11, forming a guide surface 111. The guide surface 111 guides the clothing to a position away from the edge of the door body 11, reducing the accumulation of squeezing force generated by the rotation of the clothing on the door body 11, reducing the risk of the door body 11 being squeezed open by the clothing, and improving the working safety of the clothing handling equipment 1.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first protrusion 131 has a first edge 1311 at one end in the length direction, and the first edge 1311 is spaced apart from the edge of the door body 11. The second protrusion 132 includes a first extension 1321, which is disposed between the first edge 1311 and the door body 11 and is connected to both the first edge 1311 and the door body 11 respectively. The thickness of the first extension 1321 gradually decreases in the direction from the first edge 1311 toward the door body 11.

[0039] Specifically, the first protrusion 131 has a first edge 1311 at one end in the length direction. The first edge 1311 is spaced apart from the edge of the door 11. The first extension 1321 is housed within the space. The thickness of the first edge 1311 gradually decreases in the direction toward the second protrusion 132, which helps to achieve a smooth transition with the first extension 1321, improving aesthetics and reducing stress concentration. During the rotation of clothes inside the machine body 10, the first edge 1311 can guide the clothes into the first extension 1321. The thickness of the first extension 1321 gradually decreases in the direction from the first edge 1311 toward the door 11, and a curved surface is formed on the first extension 1321, which helps to guide the water flow and the clothes to move along the surface of the first extension 1321, reducing stress concentration in the first extension 1321 and preventing the door 11 from being squeezed open by the clothes.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second protrusion 132 further includes: a second extension 1322, the second extension 1322 being connected to the first extension 1321 and configured as a fan-shaped extension extending circumferentially along the door body 11, the thickness of the second extension 1322 gradually decreasing in the direction away from the first extension 1321 and toward the door body 11; wherein, guide surfaces 111 are respectively formed on the first extension 1321 and the second extension 1322.

[0041] Specifically, the second extension segment 1322 connects to the first extension segment 1321 and is constructed as a fan shape extending circumferentially along the door body 11, so that the second extension segment 1322 can better cover the edge of the door body 11 and improve the sealing performance. The thickness of the second extension segment 1322 gradually decreases away from the first extension segment 1321 and towards the door body 11, which helps to achieve a smooth transition with the edge of the door body 11. A curved surface is formed on the first extension segment 1321, and the curved surface continues to extend and connects with the curved surface on the second extension segment 1322, forming a guide surface 111 that extends continuously in the circumferential direction. A smooth transition area is formed on the inner side of the door body 11. During the rotation of the clothes, not only is the integrity and aesthetics of the protrusion 12 enhanced, but stress concentration on the door body 11 is also avoided, reducing the risk of the door body 11 being squeezed open by the clothes and improving the safety of the clothes handling equipment 1.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a second edge 1312 is provided on one side of the first protrusion 131 in the width direction. The second edge 1312 is connected to the first edge 1311 and extends along the length direction. The protrusion 12 also includes a third protrusion 133, which is connected to the second edge 1312 and the second extension segment 1322 respectively. The third protrusion 133 is constructed as a fan-shaped area extending circumferentially in the door body 11. The outer edge of the third protrusion 133 is connected to the door body 11. The thickness of the third protrusion 133 gradually decreases in the direction near the edge.

[0043] Specifically, a second edge 1312 is provided on one side of the first protrusion 131 in the width direction. The second edge 1312 connects with the first edge 1311 and extends along the length direction, increasing the structural stability of the first protrusion 131 and ensuring that the first protrusion 131 provides stable support for the second protrusion 132 and the third protrusion 133. The third protrusion 133 connects with the second edge 1312 and the second extension 1322 respectively, so that the third protrusion 133 can be firmly fixed on the door body 11 and form an integral part with the first protrusion 131 and the second protrusion 132. The third protrusion 133 is constructed as a fan-shaped area extending circumferentially in the door body 11, so that the third protrusion 133 can effectively cover part of the edge of the door body 11 and improve the sealing performance. The thickness of the third protrusion 133 gradually decreases in the direction near the edge, thereby forming a curved surface on the third protrusion 133, which helps to guide the movement of clothes and water flow. During the rotation of the clothes, the squeezing force generated by the clothes on the door 11 is dispersed and released, reducing the risk of the clothes squeezing the door 11 open.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the projected area of ​​the second protrusion 132 on the door body 11 is s1, and the projected area of ​​the third protrusion 133 on the door body 11 is s2, and satisfies: 2 / 3 < s1 / s2 < 1.

[0045] Specifically, the ratio of s1 to s2 satisfies 2 / 3 < s1 / s2 < 1, ensuring that the projected area s1 of the second protrusion 132 is greater than two-thirds of the projected area s2 of the third protrusion 133, but s1 is always less than s2. By limiting the size ratio of the projected areas of the second protrusion 132 and the third protrusion 133 in the front projection of the door body 11, the dispersion effect of the second protrusion 132 and the third protrusion 133 on the extrusion pressure can be improved, which facilitates the processing and forming of the second protrusion 132 and the third protrusion 133 and reduces the manufacturing cost.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the second edge 1312 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first protrusion 131.

[0047] Specifically, the thickness of the second edge 1312 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first protrusion 131, which helps to provide a smoother transition between the first protrusion 131 and the third protrusion 133 and improves the aesthetics of the protrusion 12. Since the overall thickness of the first protrusion 131 is greater than the overall thickness of the third protrusion 133, the second edge 1312 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first protrusion 131, so that the second edge 1312 is constructed as an inclined surface that slopes from the top surface of the first protrusion 131 toward the top surface of the third protrusion 133. During the rotation of the clothes, the second edge 1312 can also guide the rotation of the clothes and water flow and avoid stress concentration.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a third edge 1313 is provided on the side of the first protrusion 131 away from the second edge 1312. The third edge 1313 is spaced apart from the edge of the door body 11 to define an avoidance groove 1314 that cooperates with the body 10 between the third edge 1313 and the door body 11.

[0049] Specifically, the third edge 1313 is located on the side of the first protrusion 131 opposite to the second edge 1312 and is spaced apart from the edge of the door body 11. A clearance groove 1314 is defined between the third edge 1313 and the edge of the door body 11. The clearance groove 1314 can cooperate with the filter assembly on the body 10 to provide clearance for the installation of the filter assembly. When the door body 11 is closed, the filter assembly on the body 10 can be received into the clearance groove 1314, thereby achieving a tighter fit and higher sealing performance. The size of the clearance groove 1314 can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the filter assembly to improve the flexibility of the door body 11 structure and ensure the sealing effect of the door body 11 on the body 10 and the structural aesthetics of the door body 11.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the first protrusion 131 gradually decreases from the third edge 1313 to the second edge 1312.

[0051] Specifically, the thickness of the first protrusion 131 gradually decreases from the third edge 1313 to the second edge 1312, ensuring a smoother transition for the second protrusion 132 and the third protrusion 133, making the protrusion 12 visually more fluid and natural. Simultaneously, a slope or curved surface can be formed on the surface of the first protrusion 131, sloping towards the second protrusion 132 and the third protrusion 133, further improving the pressure dispersion effect of the protrusion 12 and reducing the risk of the door 11 being squeezed open.

[0052] In some embodiments, the door body 11 is constructed as an annular structure, and the protrusion 12 is constructed as a circular transparent part that overlaps with the inner edge of the door body 11.

[0053] Specifically, the door 11 has a ring-shaped structure, which improves its aesthetics and makes the overlap between the door 11 and the opening of the machine body 10 more uniform and tight, thus improving the sealing effect of the door 11. A circular installation area is formed in the middle of the door 11, and the protrusion 12 has a circular structure that overlaps with the inner edge of the door 11. The protrusion 12 and the door 11 can be fixed together by snap-fit ​​or bolts to ensure a stable connection. The protrusion 12 can be made of transparent material, such as glass or plastic, allowing the user to observe the washing or drying of clothes inside the machine body 10. This allows the user to adjust the working mode of the clothing processing equipment 1 based on the observation, providing a convenient and comfortable user experience.
