Description

Technical Field

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

[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.

[0055] The components include: a connecting assembly 100, a connecting seat 1, an opening 11, a fourth connecting lug 12, a first rotating component 2, a first connecting lug 21, a first shaft hole 22, a swing arm 23, a connecting arm 24, a third connecting lug 25, a second rotating component 3, a second connecting lug 31, a second shaft hole 32, a first damping component 4, a spring 41, a first one-way damper 42, a first transmission mechanism 5, a first driving gear 51, a first driven gear 52, a first rotating shaft 102, a second damping component 6, a second one-way damper 62, a second transmission mechanism 7, a second driving gear 71, a second driven gear 72, and a second rotating shaft 203. Detailed Implementation

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] The following is for reference. Figures 1-15 Description of the connection component 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0059] The connecting assembly 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: a connecting seat 1, a first rotating member 2, a second rotating member 3, and a damping structure.

[0060] 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.

[0061] 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 via the first rotating shaft, and the second rotating member is rotatably connected to the first rotating member via the second rotating shaft. The connecting seat is used to connect to the panel of the garment handling device, and the second rotating member is used to connect to the door of the garment handling device. Thus, the door can be assembled onto the panel of the garment handling device via the connecting assembly.

[0062] Because a first rotating member that can rotate relative to the connecting seat and the second rotating member is provided between the second rotating member and the connecting seat, 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.

[0063] 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] 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.

[0066] Therefore, this utility model embodiment designs a connection component 100 with a damping structure. The damping structure is configured to prevent the second rotating component 3 from rotating from the second closed position to the second open position during the rotation of the first rotating component 2 from the first closed position to the first open position. That is, when the first rotating component 2 rotates to the first open position, the second rotating component 3 can rotate relative to the first rotating component 2 around the second rotating shaft 203. During the rotation of the second rotating component 3, the first rotating component 2 remains stationary in the first open position.

[0067] The damping structure is also configured such that, during the process of the second rotating member 3 rotating from the second open position to the second closed position, it prevents the first rotating member 2 from rotating from the first open position to the first 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.

[0068] Therefore, under the action of the damping structure, 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 damping structure. Furthermore, after the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first open position around the first rotating shaft 102, the damping structure releases the movement restriction on the second rotating member 3, allowing the second rotating member 3 to 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 this process, the relative position of the first rotating member 2 and the connecting seat 1 is restricted by the damping structure and remains unchanged in the first open position. When the second rotating member 3 rotates to the second open position, the door 300 rotates to its maximum angle.

[0069] 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 damping structure. Furthermore, after the second rotating member 3 rotates to the second closed position around the second rotating shaft 203, the movement restriction of the first rotating member 2 by the damping structure 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 relative position of the second rotating member 3 and the first rotating member 2 is restricted by the damping structure and remains unchanged in the second closed position. When the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first closed position, the door 300 closes.

[0070] 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.

[0071] Specifically, refer to Figures 2-5 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 14 The damping structure includes a first damping element 4, which cooperates with a first rotating shaft 102. During the rotation of the second rotating member 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 member 2 from rotating 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 member 3, the second rotating member 3 has a tendency to move from the second open position to the second closed position, and the first rotating member 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 member 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 member 3 will be entirely applied to the second rotating member 3, driving the second rotating member 3 to move from the second open position to the second closed position.

[0072] 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.

[0073] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, 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 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.

[0074] When the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first open position, the first rotating member 2 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.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-5 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the first damping member 4 includes a first one-way damper 42, which is adapted to provide a first damping force to the first rotating shaft 102 only during the process of the second rotating member 3 rotating from the second open position to the second closed position. Thus, during the process of the second rotating member 3 rotating from the second closed position to the second open position, the first one-way damper 42 does not provide a damping force. During the opening of the door 300, the movement priority of the first rotating member 2 is higher than that of the second rotating member 3. 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.

[0076] During the process of the second rotating member 3 rotating from the second open position to the second closed position, the first one-way damper 42 provides damping force. During the closing process of the door 300, the motion priority of the first rotating member 2 is lower than that of the second rotating member 3. 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.

[0077] In other embodiments, the first damping element 4 includes a spring 41, which is 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 41, 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 41.

[0078] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 The second damping element 6 includes a second one-way damper 62, which is adapted to provide a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203 only during the rotation of the first rotating element 2 from the first closed position to the first open position.

[0079] Therefore, during the process of the first rotating member 2 rotating from the first open position to the first closed position, the second one-way damper 62 does not provide damping force. During the closing process 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 axis 203 before the first rotating member 2.

[0080] During the process of the first rotating member 2 rotating from the first closed position to the first open position, the second one-way damper 62 provides damping force. During the opening of the door 300, the movement priority of the second rotating member 3 is lower than that of the first rotating member 2. 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.

[0081] In this configuration, one of the connecting seat 1 and the first rotating member 2 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 102, while the other is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 102 and the first unidirectional damper 42 is fixed thereon.

[0082] For example, the first rotating shaft 102 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 1, and the first rotating member 2 is provided with a shaft hole. The first rotating shaft 102 passes through the shaft hole and is connected to the first rotating member 2 so that the first rotating member 2 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 102. The first one-way damper 42 is fixed to the first rotating member 2. Since the first rotating member 2 will rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 102 during the rotation of the connecting seat 1, the first one-way damper 42 can also rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 102. Thus, the first one-way damper 42 can provide damping force to the first rotating shaft 102.

[0083] For example, the first rotating member 2 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 102. The connecting seat 1 is provided with a shaft hole. The first rotating shaft 102 passes through the shaft hole and is connected to the connecting seat 1 so that the connecting seat 1 and the first rotating shaft 102 are rotatably connected. The first one-way damper 42 is fixed to the connecting seat 1. Since the connecting seat 1 will rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 102 during the rotation of the first rotating member 2, the first one-way damper 42 can also rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 102. Thus, the first one-way damper 42 can provide damping force to the first rotating shaft 102.

[0084] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 14 The first one-way damper 42 is drive-connected to the first rotating shaft 102. To achieve this drive-connection, the connecting assembly 100 also includes a first transmission mechanism 5, through which the first one-way damper 42 and the first rotating shaft 102 are drive-connected. Due to the structure of the one-way damper, it is not easy to directly connect it to the rotating shaft. Therefore, the first transmission mechanism 5 can transmit the damping force provided by the first one-way damper 42 to the first rotating shaft 102, thus achieving force transmission.

[0085] The first transmission mechanism 5 can be a gear transmission mechanism or a belt transmission mechanism, etc., and is not limited here.

[0086] Specifically, the first transmission mechanism 5 includes a first driving gear 51 and a first driven gear 52 connected by transmission. The first driving gear 51 is connected to the first one-way damper 42, and the first driven gear 52 is connected to the first rotating shaft 102. Thus, when the door 300 moves to the closed position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, and the first rotating shaft 102 tends to rotate to the first closed position. The first rotating shaft 102 will transmit the driving force to the first driven gear 52. The first driven gear 52 meshes with the first driving gear 51 and transmits the driving force to the first driving gear 51. The first driving gear 51 is connected to the first one-way damper 42. At this time, the direction of movement of the first driving gear 51 is opposite to the direction of the first damping force provided by the first one-way damper 42. The movement of the first driving gear 51 is restricted by the first one-way damper 42. The first driving gear 51 restricts the rotation of the first driven gear 52, and the first driven gear 52 further restricts the rotation of the first rotating shaft 102. Thus, the priority of the movement of the first rotating member 2 is reduced.

[0087] When the door 300 moves to the open position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, and the first rotating shaft 102 tends to rotate to the first open position. The first rotating shaft 102 will transmit the driving force to the first driven gear 52. The first driven gear 52 meshes with the first driving gear 51 and transmits the driving force to the first driving gear 51. The first driving gear 51 is connected to the first one-way damper 42. At this time, the direction of movement of the first driving gear 51 is the same as the direction of the first damping force provided by the first one-way damper 42. The movement of the first driving gear 51 is not restricted by the first one-way damper 42, and the rotation of the first driven gear 52 and the first rotating shaft 102 is also unrestricted. Therefore, the priority of the movement of the first rotating component 2 is not affected.

[0088] In this configuration, one of the second rotating member 3 and the first rotating member 2 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 203, while the other is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 203 and the second unidirectional damper 62 is fixed thereon.

[0089] For example, the first rotating member 2 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 203. The second rotating member 3 is provided with a shaft hole. The second rotating shaft 203 passes through the shaft hole and is connected to the second rotating member 3 so that the second rotating member 3 and the second rotating shaft 203 are rotatably connected. The second one-way damper 62 is fixed to the second rotating member 3. Since the second rotating member 3 will rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 203 during the rotation of the second rotating member 3 relative to the first rotating member 2, the second one-way damper 62 can also rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 203. Thus, the second one-way damper 62 can provide damping force to the second rotating shaft 203.

[0090] For example, the second rotating member 3 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 203. The first rotating member 2 is provided with a shaft hole. The second rotating shaft 203 passes through the shaft hole and is connected to the first rotating member 2, so that the first rotating member 2 and the second rotating shaft 203 are rotatably connected. The second one-way damper 62 is fixed to the first rotating member 2. Since the first rotating member 2 will rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 203 during the rotation of the first rotating member 2 relative to the second rotating member 3, the second one-way damper 62 can also rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 203. Thus, the second one-way damper 62 can provide damping force to the second rotating shaft 203.

[0091] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second transmission mechanism 7 includes a second driving gear 71 and a second driven gear 72 connected in transmission. The second driving gear 71 is connected to the second one-way damper 62, and the second driven gear 72 is connected to the second rotating shaft 203.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the second one-way damper 62 is connected to the second rotating shaft 203 via a transmission mechanism. To achieve this transmission connection, the connecting assembly 100 further includes a second transmission mechanism 7, through which the second one-way damper 62 and the second rotating shaft 203 are connected. Due to the structure of the one-way damper, it is not easy to directly connect it to the rotating shaft. Therefore, the second transmission mechanism 7 can transmit the damping force provided by the second one-way damper 62 to the second rotating shaft 203, thus achieving force transmission.

[0093] Specifically, the second transmission mechanism 7 includes a second driving gear 71 and a second driven gear 72 connected by transmission. The second driving gear 71 is connected to the second one-way damper 62, and the second driven gear 72 is connected to the second rotating shaft 203.

[0094] Therefore, when the door 300 moves to the open position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, and the second rotating shaft 203 tends to rotate to the second open position. The second rotating shaft 203 will transmit the driving force to the second driven gear 72. The second driven gear 72 meshes with the second driving gear 71 and transmits the driving force to the second driving gear 71. The second driving gear 71 is connected to the second one-way damper 62. At this time, the direction of movement of the second driving gear 71 is opposite to the direction of the second damping force provided by the second one-way damper 62. The movement of the second driving gear 71 is restricted by the second one-way damper 62. The second driving gear 71 restricts the rotation of the second driven gear 72. The second driven gear 72 further restricts the rotation of the second rotating shaft 203, thereby reducing the priority of the movement of the second rotating member 3.

[0095] When the door 300 moves to the closed position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, and the second rotating shaft 203 tends to rotate to the second closed position. The second rotating shaft 203 will transmit the driving force to the second driven gear 72. The second driven gear 72 meshes with the second driving gear 71 and transmits the driving force to the second driving gear 71. The second driving gear 71 is connected to the second one-way damper 62. At this time, the direction of movement of the second driving gear 71 is the same as the direction of the second damping force provided by the second one-way damper 62. The movement of the second driving gear 71 is not restricted by the second one-way damper 62, and the rotation of the second driven gear 72 and the second rotating shaft 203 is also unrestricted. Therefore, the priority of the movement of the second rotating member 3 is not affected.

[0096] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the first rotating member 2 has a first connecting lug 21 on the side near the second rotating member 3, and the first connecting lug 21 defines a first shaft hole 22. The configuration of the first connecting lug 21 provides a position for the opening of the first shaft hole 22, facilitating the installation of the connecting assembly 100. The second rotating member 3 has a second connecting lug 31 on the side near the first rotating member 2, and the second connecting lug 31 defines a second shaft hole 32. The configuration of the second connecting lug 31 provides a position for the opening of the second shaft hole 32, facilitating the installation of the connecting assembly 100. The second rotating shaft 203 cooperates with the first shaft hole 22 and the second shaft hole 32. The first connecting lug 21 and the second connecting lug 31 are alternately arranged in the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 102, 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.

[0097] In some embodiments, at least one first connecting lug 21 and a second connecting lug 31 are spaced apart, leaving a space for installing a second transmission component. Thus, the second driven gear 72 can be disposed between the first connecting lug 21 and the second connecting lug 31.

[0098] Alternatively, there may be multiple first connecting lugs 21, with at least two first connecting lugs 21 spaced apart. The two spaced first connecting lugs 21 define a space for the second transmission component, that is, the second driven gear 72 is located between two adjacent first connecting lugs 21.

[0099] Alternatively, there may be multiple second connecting lugs 31, with at least two spaced-apart second connecting lugs 31 defining a space for the second transmission member, i.e., the second driven gear 72 is located between two adjacent second connecting lugs 31.

[0100] 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.

[0101] Combination Figures 3-5 , Figure 8 , Figure 12 and Figure 15 In the embodiment shown, the connecting seat 1 has an opening 11, a first rotating shaft 102 is located at the opening 11, and a first rotating member 2 passes through the opening 11. 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.

[0102] 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 two parts with different extension directions. The two 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.

[0103] 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.

[0104] 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.

[0105] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, in order to reduce the size of the opening on the panel 200 for avoiding the first rotating member 2, the structure of the first rotating member 2 consists of two parts, namely a swing arm 23 and a connecting arm 24. One end of the swing arm 23 is connected to the first rotating shaft 102, and the other end of the swing arm 23 is connected to one end of the connecting arm 24. The other end of the connecting arm 24 is connected to the second rotating shaft 203. The swing arm 23 extends radially along the first rotating shaft 102, and the connecting arm 24 extends circumferentially along the first rotating shaft 102.

[0106] Therefore, during the process of the door 300 moving from the closed state to the open state, at the starting position of the rotation of the first rotating member 2, the swing arm 23 is located inside the panel 200, that is, the side of the panel 200 facing away from the door 300. A part of the connecting arm 24 is located inside the panel 200, and the other part passes through the opening on the panel 200 and is located outside the panel 200, that is, the side of the panel 200 facing the door 300, and is connected to the door 300 through the second rotating member 3.

[0107] During the rotation of the first rotating member 2, the swing arm 23 rotates around the first rotating shaft 102 within the cavity defined by the connecting seat 1 and the panel 200. The part of the connecting arm 24 located within the cavity gradually passes through the opening on the panel 200 to the outside of the panel 200. Since the distance from all parts of the connecting arm 24 to the first rotating shaft 102 is the same, the mating position of the connecting arm 24 with the panel 200 is always in the same position during the process of passing through the panel 200. That is, it is only necessary to make an opening at this point to avoid the first rotating member 2, thereby reducing the size of the opening on the panel 200 and improving the aesthetics of the clothing handling device when the door 300 is opened.

[0108] The garment handling device according to a second aspect of the present invention includes: a panel 200 and a door 300.

[0109] 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.

[0110] 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.

[0111] 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.

[0112] 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.

[0113] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 ,- Figure 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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.

[0116] 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.

[0117] The clothing processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0118] The garment handling device includes: a door 300, a panel 200, and a connecting component 100.

[0119] 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.

[0120] 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, and a damping structure. The connecting seat 1 has a first mounting hole, and the panel 200 has a first mating hole. A fixing member 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 member passes through the second connecting hole and the second mating hole to fix the second rotating component 3 to the door body 300.

[0121] like Figure 4 As shown, the first rotating member 2 is provided at the position where it mates with the first rotating shaft 102 in the first direction [e.g.] Figure 4 As shown in Figure A, the third connecting lug 25 is spaced apart on the upper part. The connecting seat 1 is provided with a fourth connecting lug 12 spaced apart in the first 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 12 are located on both sides of the two third connecting lugs 25 in the first direction.

[0122] The first rotating member 2 is provided with four first connecting lugs 21 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 31 spaced apart in the first direction at the position where it mates with the second rotating shaft 203. The first connecting lugs 21 and the second connecting lugs 31 are arranged intersecting in the first direction.

[0123] The first rotating shaft 102 passes sequentially through the third connecting lug 25 and the fourth connecting lug 12 along the first direction. The second rotating shaft 203 is formed such that it passes sequentially through the first connecting lug 21 and the second connecting lug 31 along the first direction. The first connecting lug 21, the second connecting lug 31, the third connecting lug 25, and the fourth connecting lug 12 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 12, and the second rotating member 3 is confined between multiple adjacent first connecting lugs 21 and second connecting lugs 31.

[0124] There is a first connecting lug 21 and a second connecting lug 31 spaced apart, and a space is provided for installing the second transmission component. Thus, the second driven gear 72 can be located between the first connecting lug 21 and the second connecting lug 31.

[0125] The panel 200 has an opening to allow the first rotating member 2 to pass through. The connecting seat 1 has an opening 11 that communicates with the opening. The first rotating shaft 102 is located at the opening 11, and the first rotating member 2 passes through the opening 11. 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.

[0126] The first rotating member 2 includes a swing arm 23 and a connecting arm 24. One end of the swing arm 23 is connected to the first rotating shaft 102, and the other end of the swing arm 23 is connected to one end of the connecting arm 24. The other end of the connecting arm 24 is connected to the second rotating shaft 203. The swing arm 23 extends radially along the first rotating shaft 102, and the connecting arm 24 extends circumferentially along the first rotating shaft 102.

[0127] Therefore, during the process of the door 300 moving from the closed state to the open state, at the starting position of the rotation of the first rotating member 2, the swing arm 23 is located inside the panel 200, that is, the side of the panel 200 facing away from the door 300. A part of the connecting arm 24 is located inside the panel 200, and the other part passes through the opening on the panel 200 and is located outside the panel 200, that is, the side of the panel 200 facing the door 300, and is connected to the door 300 through the second rotating member 3.

[0128] During the rotation of the first rotating member 2, the swing arm 23 rotates around the first rotating shaft 102 within the cavity defined by the connecting seat 1 and the panel 200. The part of the connecting arm 24 located within the cavity gradually passes through the opening on the panel 200 to the outside of the panel 200. Since the distance from all parts of the connecting arm 24 to the first rotating shaft 102 is the same, the mating position of the connecting arm 24 with the panel 200 is always in the same position during the process of passing through the panel 200. That is, it is only necessary to make an opening at this point to avoid the first rotating member 2, thereby reducing the size of the opening on the panel 200 and improving the aesthetics of the clothing handling device when the door 300 is opened.

[0129] The connection component 100 has a first state, a second state, and a third state.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] Due to the presence of the damping structure, 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 damping structure. Furthermore, after the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first open position around the first rotating shaft 102, the damping structure releases the movement restriction on the second rotating member 3, allowing the second rotating member 3 to 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 this process, the relative position of the first rotating member 2 and the connecting seat 1 is restricted by the damping structure and remains unchanged in the first open position. When the second rotating member 3 rotates to the second open position, the door 300 rotates to its maximum angle.

[0134] 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 damping structure. Furthermore, after the second rotating member 3 rotates to the second closed position around the second rotating shaft 203, the movement restriction of the first rotating member 2 by the damping structure 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 relative position of the second rotating member 3 and the first rotating member 2 is restricted by the damping structure and remains unchanged in the second closed position. When the first rotating member 2 rotates to the first closed position, the door 300 closes.

[0135] The damping structure includes a first unidirectional damper 42, a first transmission mechanism 5, a second unidirectional damper 62, and a second transmission mechanism 7.

[0136] The first one-way damper 42 is adapted to provide a first damping force to the first rotating shaft 102 only during the process of the second rotating member 3 rotating from the second open position to the second closed position. Thus, during the process of the second rotating member 3 rotating from the second closed position to the second open position, the first one-way damper 42 does not provide a damping force. During the opening of the door 300, the movement priority of the first rotating member 2 is higher than that of the second rotating member 3. 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.

[0137] During the process of the second rotating member 3 rotating from the second open position to the second closed position, the first one-way damper 42 provides damping force. During the closing process of the door 300, the motion priority of the first rotating member 2 is lower than that of the second rotating member 3. 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.

[0138] The first rotating component 2 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 102. The connecting seat 1 is provided with a shaft hole. The first rotating shaft 102 passes through the shaft hole and is connected to the connecting seat 1 so that the connecting seat 1 and the first rotating shaft 102 are rotatably connected. The first one-way damper 42 is fixed to the connecting seat 1. Since the connecting seat 1 will rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 102 during the rotation of the first rotating component 2, the first one-way damper 42 can also rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 102. Thus, the first one-way damper 42 can provide damping force to the first rotating shaft 102.

[0139] Specifically, the first transmission mechanism 5 includes a first driving gear 51 and a first driven gear 52 connected by transmission. The first driving gear 51 is connected to the first one-way damper 42, and the first driven gear 52 is connected to the first rotating shaft 102. Thus, when the door 300 moves to the closed position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, and the first rotating shaft 102 tends to rotate to the first closed position. The first rotating shaft 102 will transmit the driving force to the first driven gear 52. The first driven gear 52 meshes with the first driving gear 51 and transmits the driving force to the first driving gear 51. The first driving gear 51 is connected to the first one-way damper 42. At this time, the direction of movement of the first driving gear 51 is opposite to the direction of the first damping force provided by the first one-way damper 42. The movement of the first driving gear 51 is restricted by the first one-way damper 42. The first driving gear 51 restricts the rotation of the first driven gear 52, and the first driven gear 52 further restricts the rotation of the first rotating shaft 102. Thus, the priority of the movement of the first rotating member 2 is reduced.

[0140] When the door 300 moves to the open position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, and the first rotating shaft 102 tends to rotate to the first open position. The first rotating shaft 102 will transmit the driving force to the first driven gear 52. The first driven gear 52 meshes with the first driving gear 51 and transmits the driving force to the first driving gear 51. The first driving gear 51 is connected to the first one-way damper 42. At this time, the direction of movement of the first driving gear 51 is the same as the direction of the first damping force provided by the first one-way damper 42. The movement of the first driving gear 51 is not restricted by the first one-way damper 42, and the rotation of the first driven gear 52 and the first rotating shaft 102 is also unrestricted. Therefore, the priority of the movement of the first rotating component 2 is not affected.

[0141] The second unidirectional damper 62 is adapted to provide a second damping force to the second rotating shaft 203 only during the rotation of the first rotating member 2 from the first closed position to the first open position.

[0142] Therefore, during the process of the first rotating member 2 rotating from the first open position to the first closed position, the second one-way damper 62 does not provide damping force. During the closing process 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 axis 203 before the first rotating member 2.

[0143] During the process of the first rotating member 2 rotating from the first closed position to the first open position, the second one-way damper 62 provides damping force. During the opening of the door 300, the movement priority of the second rotating member 3 is lower than that of the first rotating member 2. 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.

[0144] The first rotating component 2 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 203. The second rotating component 3 is provided with a shaft hole, through which the second rotating shaft 203 passes and connects to the second rotating component 3, so that the second rotating component 3 and the second rotating shaft 203 are rotatably connected. The second one-way damper 62 is fixed to the second rotating component 3. Since the second rotating component 3 will rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 203 during the rotation of the second rotating component 3 relative to the first rotating component 2, the second one-way damper 62 can also rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 203. Thus, the second one-way damper 62 can provide damping force to the second rotating shaft 203.

[0145] Specifically, the second transmission mechanism 7 includes a second driving gear 71 and a second driven gear 72 connected by transmission. The second driving gear 71 is connected to the second one-way damper 62, and the second driven gear 72 is connected to the second rotating shaft 203.

[0146] Therefore, when the door 300 moves to the open position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, and the second rotating shaft 203 tends to rotate to the second open position. The second rotating shaft 203 will transmit the driving force to the second driven gear 72. The second driven gear 72 meshes with the second driving gear 71 and transmits the driving force to the second driving gear 71. The second driving gear 71 is connected to the second one-way damper 62. At this time, the direction of movement of the second driving gear 71 is opposite to the direction of the second damping force provided by the second one-way damper 62. The movement of the second driving gear 71 is restricted by the second one-way damper 62. The second driving gear 71 restricts the rotation of the second driven gear 72. The second driven gear 72 further restricts the rotation of the second rotating shaft 203, thereby reducing the priority of the movement of the second rotating member 3.

[0147] When the door 300 moves to the closed position under the drive of an external force, the external force acts on the connecting assembly 100, and the second rotating shaft 203 tends to rotate to the second closed position. The second rotating shaft 203 will transmit the driving force to the second driven gear 72. The second driven gear 72 meshes with the second driving gear 71 and transmits the driving force to the second driving gear 71. The second driving gear 71 is connected to the second one-way damper 62. At this time, the direction of movement of the second driving gear 71 is the same as the direction of the second damping force provided by the second one-way damper 62. The movement of the second driving gear 71 is not restricted by the second one-way damper 62, and the rotation of the second driven gear 72 and the second rotating shaft 203 is also unrestricted. Therefore, the priority of the movement of the second rotating member 3 is not affected.

[0148] The first unidirectional damper and the second unidirectional damper can be one or more of the following: liquid damper, gas damper, electromagnetic damper, mechanical unidirectional damper, or friction unidirectional damper.
