[0067] In the related art, the clothes dryer comprises a body, a door body, a door lock and a door hook. The door body is rotatably connected with the body. The door body is provided with the door hook. The body is provided with the door lock. The door lock comprises a door lock seat, a connecting shaft, a spring and a rotating block. The connecting shaft is slidably connected with the door lock seat. The spring is mounted on the door lock seat. The spring abuts against the connecting shaft. The rotating block is rotatably connected with the connecting shaft. When the door hook extends into the door lock seat, the door hook contacts and pushes the rotating block to rotate. The rotating block is in sliding contact with the door lock seat. With the further extension of the door hook, the connecting shaft slides relative to the door lock seat under the elastic force of the spring. The connecting shaft drives the rotating block to slide relative to the door lock seat. The rotating block is in sliding contact with the door lock seat, so that the rotating block and the door hook are in a matched locking state, and the door body is closed. When the door body is pulled, the door hook pulls the rotating block, the rotating block drives the connecting shaft to slide, the connecting shaft compresses the spring, and with the further pulling of the door hook, the door hook pulls the rotating block to rotate, so that the door hook can be separated from the rotating block, and the door body is opened. However, the clothes dryer has large opening and closing forces of the door body, resulting in poor user experience.

[0068] Therefore, the present application provides a clothes treatment apparatus. When the door body switches between the closing position and the opening position, the rolling friction between the rotating member and the rolling member replaces the sliding friction between the rotating member and the door lock seat, so that the opening and closing forces of the door body can be reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0069] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0089] In some examples, the rotating piece 42 is configured to be in rolling contact with the rolling piece 50 when sliding or rotating relative to the door lock seat 41 to switch the door body 20 between the closed position and the open position. In this way, when the door body 20 is switched between the closed position and the open position, the rotating piece 42 slides or rotates relative to the door lock seat 41, and the rotating piece 42 is in rolling contact with the rolling piece 50. The rolling friction between the rotating piece 42 and the rolling piece 50 can replace the sliding friction between the rotating piece 42 and the door lock seat 41 in the related art, so that the opening force and the closing force of the door body 20 can be reduced, and the user experience is improved.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the door lock 40 can further include a first connecting shaft 60. The first connecting shaft 60 can be in sliding connection with the door lock seat 41.

The first matching surface 4211 of the rotating member 42 can be in rolling contact with the rolling member 50.

[0106] Exemplarily, the first matching surface 4211 can be a plane.

[0107] In some examples, the rotating body 421 can also be provided with a second matching surface 4212. The second matching surface 4212 can be connected with the first matching surface 4211. The second matching surface 4212 is configured to be in rolling contact with the rolling member 50 when the rotating member 42 rotates relative to the door lock seat 41. In this way, when the door hook 30 drives the rotating member 42 to rotate relative to the door lock seat 41, the second matching surface 4212 of the rotating body 421 of the rotating member 42 is in rolling contact with the rolling member 50, thereby reducing the opening and closing forces of the door body 20 and improving the user experience.

[0108] In some embodiments of the present application, the second matching surface 4212 can include a first circular arc surface. It should be noted that the second matching surface 4212 can be entirely a first circular arc surface. Alternatively, the second matching surface 4212 can be partially a first circular arc surface.

[0109] In some examples, the center of the first circular arc surface can be located on the axis of the first connecting shaft 60. The first circular arc surface can be connected with the first matching surface 4211. The first circular arc surface has a first point P (see Figure 8

[0110] Exemplarily, in the rotation direction of the rotating member 42, the first circular arc surface can be symmetrically arranged relative to the first point P.

[0111] In some examples, the rotating member 42 can be configured to pull the door lock 40 under the action of the elastic member 70 when the door body 20 is closing and the rolling member 50 passes the first point P. In this way, when the door body 20 is closing and the rolling member 50 passes the first point P, the elastic member 70 acts on the first connecting shaft 60 through its elastic force, the first connecting shaft 60 exerts a force on the rotating member 42, and the rotating member 42 can pull the door hook 30, so that the user has a suction feeling when closing the door, thereby reducing the closing force of the door body 20, and further improving the user's hand feeling and user experience.

[0112] The rotating member 42 can further include a locking portion 423. The locking portion 423 can be connected with the rotating body 421. The locking portion 423 can be used to lock the door hook 30.

[0113] In some examples, the locking portion 423 can surround the rotating hole 422 with the rotating body 421. It can be understood that the locking portion 423 and the rotating body 421 can be located on both sides of the rotating hole 422.

[0114] In some examples, the locking portion 423 can be provided with a locking groove 4231. The locking groove 4231 is configured to lock the door hook 30 when the door body 20 is in the closing position. In this way, when the door body 20 is in the closing position, the door hook 30 is inserted into the door lock hole 411, the door hook 30 cooperates with the locking groove 4231 of the locking portion 423 of the door lock 40, and the locking groove 4231 can lock the door hook 30, so that the door body 20 can close the clothes throwing opening.

[0115] Exemplarily, the door hook 30 can have a through hole. When the door hook 30 is inserted into the door lock hole 411, the through hole of the door hook 30 can be sleeved in the locking groove 4231 of the locking portion 423.

[0116] In some examples, the locking groove 4231 can have a first groove wall 423a and a second groove wall 423b. When the door body 20 can be switched between the closing position and the opening position, the door hook 30 can abut against the first groove wall 423a or the second groove wall 423b.

[0117] In some examples, the locking portion 423 can be provided with a limiting surface 423c. The limiting surface 423c can be connected with the first matching surface 4211. ​

[0118] The limiting surface 423c can be configured to abut against the rolling element 50 when the door body 20 is in the closed position, thereby restricting the sliding of the first connecting shaft 60 relative to the door lock seat 41. With this configuration, when the door body 20 is in the closed position, the limiting surface 423c of the locking part 423 can abut against the rolling element 50, restricting the movement of the rotating element 42, thus restricting the sliding of the first connecting shaft 60 relative to the door lock seat 41. Consequently, when the door body 20 is in the closed position, the connection between the door hook 30 and the door lock 40 can be stable.

[0119] In some embodiments of this application, the rotating member 42 may further include a limiting part 424. The limiting part 424 may be connected to the rotating body 421.

[0120] The limiting part 424 can be configured to abut against the rolling member 50 when the door body 20 is in the open position, so that the locking part 423 faces the door lock hole 411. With this configuration, when the door body 20 can be in the open position, that is, when the door hook 30 can disengage from the door lock seat 41, the limiting part 424 can abut against the rolling member 50, which can limit the rotation angle of the rotating member 42 relative to the door lock seat 41, so that the locking part 423 faces the door lock hole 411, and after the door hook 30 is inserted into the door lock 40 hook, the door hook 30 can connect with the locking groove 4231 of the locking part 423.

[0121] In some examples, the limiting part 424 can be a limiting block. The limiting block may have a second arcuate surface 4241. When the door body 20 is in the open position, the second arcuate surface 4241 of the limiting block can engage with the rolling element 50 (see...). Figure 7 As shown, the rotation angle of the rotating member 42 relative to the door lock seat 41 in the +W direction can be limited.

[0122] See Figure 7 As shown, the door hook 30 is disengaged from the door lock 40, that is to say, the door hook 30 is not in contact with the door lock 40.

[0123] In some examples, the garment storage compartment can be opened when the door 20 is in the open position. The door hook 30 can disengage from the door lock seat 41 (see [link]). Figure 7 (As shown). The rotating body 421 and the limiting part 424 of the rotating member 42 can contact the rolling member 50. The two elastic members 70 can be compressed by the first connecting shaft 60.

[0124] In some examples, when the door body 20 can switch from the open door position to the closed door position, the door hook 30 can be inserted into the door lock hole 411 of the door lock seat 41. The through hole of the door hook 30 can be sleeved in the locking groove 4231 of the locking part 423 of the rotating piece 42. As the stroke of the door hook 30 in the door lock 40 increases, the door hook 30 can abut against the second groove wall 423b of the locking groove 4231. The door hook 30 can push the rotating piece 42 to rotate in the -W direction. The limiting part 424 of the rotating piece 42 can be disengaged from the rolling piece 50. The second matching surface 4212 of the rotating body 421 can be in rolling contact with the rolling piece 50. See Figure 8 As shown, as the stroke of the door hook 30 in the door lock 40 further increases, the rotating piece 42 can rotate to the first point P in contact with the rolling piece 50. When the rolling piece 50 can pass the first point P, the two elastic pieces 70 can act on the first connecting shaft 60 by their own elastic force, the first connecting shaft 60 can exert a force on the rotating piece 42, so that the rotating piece 42 rotates, so that the first groove wall 423a of the rotating piece 42 abuts against the door hook 30, the door hook 30 can pull the door body 20 to close the door. Figure 9 As shown, as the stroke of the door hook 30 in the door lock 40 further increases, the rotating piece 42 can move to the second matching surface 4212 in contact with the rolling piece 50 at the intersection of the first matching surface 4211. As the stroke of the door hook 30 in the door lock 40 further increases, the two elastic pieces 70 can act on the first connecting shaft 60 by their own elastic force, the first connecting shaft 60 can slide in the +X axis direction, the first connecting shaft 60 can drive the rotating piece 42 to slide relative to the door lock seat 41, the first matching surface 4211 of the rotating body 421 can be in rolling contact with the rolling piece 50. See Figure 10 As shown, as the stroke of the door hook 30 in the door lock 40 further increases, the limiting surface 423c of the locking part 423 of the rotating piece 42 can be in contact with the rolling piece 50, so that the locking groove 4231 of the locking part 423 of the door lock 40 cooperates with the door hook 30, the locking groove 4231 can lock the door hook 30, so that the door body 20 can close the clothes throwing opening.

[0125] In some examples, when the door body 20 can be in the closed door position, the clothes throwing opening can be closed. The door hook 30 can be inserted into the door lock seat 41. The door hook 30 can connect the rotating piece 42. The rotating piece 42 can be in rolling contact with the rolling piece 50. The door lock 40 can lock the door hook 30 (see Figure 10 As shown).

[0126] In some examples, when the door body 20 can switch from the closed position to the open position, the door hook 30 can abut against the first slot wall 423a of the rotating piece 42. The door hook 30 can pull the rotating piece 42. The first matching surface 4211 of the rotating body 421 can be in rolling contact with the rolling piece 50. The rotating piece 42 can pull the first connecting shaft 60 to slide along the -X axis direction. The first connecting shaft 60 compresses the elastic piece 70. As the door hook 30 can be pulled out of the door lock 40, the rotating piece 42 can move to the second matching surface 4212 at the junction with the first matching surface 4211 to contact the rolling piece 50. As the door hook 30 can be further pulled out of the door lock 40, the second matching surface 4212 of the rotating body 421 can contact the rolling piece 50. As the door hook 30 can be further pulled out of the door lock 40, the door hook 30 can drive the rotating piece 42 to rotate along the +W direction. The second matching surface 4212 of the rotating piece 42 can be in rolling contact with the rolling piece 50. As the door hook 30 can be further pulled out of the door lock 40, the rotating piece 42 can rotate to the limiting portion 424 to contact the rolling piece 50. The door hook 30 can be disengaged from the rotating piece 42. As the door hook 30 can be further pulled out of the door lock 40, the door hook 30 can be disengaged from the door lock seat 41 (see the figure). Thus, the door body 20 can open the clothes throwing opening.
