[0044] This application provides a door cover assembly and a clothes handling device to solve the problem that the push-to-open door lock of existing washing machines needs to be installed on the door cover with screws, resulting in low installation efficiency. The following description is in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] The door cover assembly provided in this application embodiment is applied to a garment processing device. The garment processing device includes a housing, and the door cover assembly includes a door cover body 1, a push-to-open door lock 2, and a connector 3. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the door cover body of the door cover assembly provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the door cover assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the door cover assembly provided in this application embodiment. The door cover body 1 is openable and closable with the box body. The door cover body 1 is provided with a mounting hole 11 and a fixing hole 12. One end of the push-spring door lock 2 passes through the mounting hole 11 and extends to the side of the door cover body 1 facing the box body, and the other end is snapped into the mounting hole 11. The push-spring door lock 2 is provided with a plug hole opposite to the fixing hole 12. The plug-in component 3 includes a plug rod 31, which is inserted into the fixing hole 12 and the plug hole in sequence to fix the push-spring door lock 2 and the door cover body 1.

[0046] The door cover assembly provided in this application embodiment has one end of the push-to-lock door lock 2 snapped into the mounting hole 11 on the door cover body 1, and then the plug rod 31 of the plug-in member 3 is sequentially inserted into the fixing hole 12 on the door cover body 1 and the plug hole on the push-to-lock door lock 2 to further fix the push-to-lock door lock 2, ensuring the connection strength between the push-to-lock door lock 2 and the door cover body 1. At the same time, the plug-in fixing installation method is simple, which improves the installation efficiency and simplifies the installation steps compared with the screw fixing.

[0047] Optionally, the insertion rod 31 is provided with an elastic locking member 311, and a groove is recessed in the insertion hole, with the elastic locking member 311 elastically engaging with the groove. After the insertion rod 31 is inserted into place, the elastic locking member 311 engages in the groove, further improving the fixing effect of the insertion rod 31 on the door cover body 1 and the push-to-lock door 2.

[0048] Optionally, the insertion rod 31 is recessed to form a receiving groove; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connector of the door cover assembly provided in the embodiment of this application. The elastic snap-fit ​​member 311 includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion 3111 and a spring 3112. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 3111 is elastically installed in the receiving groove by the spring 3112. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 3111 is used to retract into the receiving groove under pressure or to return to at least partially protruding outside the receiving groove.

[0049] By setting the spring 3112 to provide support for the latching protrusion 3111, the latching protrusion 3111 can be compressed into the receiving groove during the insertion of the insertion rod 31, ensuring that the insertion rod 31 can be smoothly inserted into the insertion hole. When the insertion rod 31 is inserted into place, the latching protrusion 3111 corresponds to the slot. At this time, the latching protrusion 3111 is no longer compressed and is pushed and bounced into the slot by the elastic force of the spring 3112.

[0050] Furthermore, the insertion rod 31 can be conformally matched with both the fixing hole 12 and the insertion hole, further improving the connection strength between the insertion rod 31 and the push-to-open door lock 2 and the door cover body 1. At the same time, since the latching protrusion 3111 is elastically connected to the receiving groove through the spring 3112, when the insertion rod 31 is not inserted into the correct position, the latching protrusion 3111 can retract into the receiving groove, and the insertion rod 31 will not be unable to be inserted into the fixing hole 12 or the insertion hole due to the latching protrusion 3111 protruding from the insertion rod 31.

[0051] Optionally, the outer periphery of the protrusion 3111 can be arc-shaped, so that when the connector 3 needs to be pulled out, the protrusion 3111 can smoothly disengage from the slot, avoiding interference between the protrusion 3111 and the slot that affects the disassembly of the connector 3.

[0052] Optionally, the receiving slots include a pair spaced apart, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the elastic snap-fit ​​component of the door cover assembly provided in this application embodiment. The snap-fit ​​protrusions 3111 are divided into a pair, with one snap-fit ​​protrusion 3111 in each receiving groove. The pair of snap-fit ​​protrusions 3111 are connected by a spring 3112. The corresponding slots are also divided into a pair, with the pair of snap-fit ​​protrusions 3111 engaging with the pair of slots respectively. Specifically, the pair of receiving grooves can be radially distributed relative to each other along the insertion rod 31. By increasing the number of snap-fit ​​protrusions 3111, the connection strength between the insertion member 3 and the door cover body 1 and the push-to-open door lock 2 is further improved.

[0053] Furthermore, the flexible snap-fit ​​connector 311 may include multiple connectors, and the corresponding card slots may include multiple slots.

[0054] Optionally, the connector 3 further includes a push plate 32. The push plate 32 is connected to one end of the plug rod 31 and abuts against the side of the door cover body 1 facing away from the cabinet. By providing the push plate 32, a force application structure is provided for the connector 3. During installation, the plug rod 31 can be inserted or removed by pushing or pulling the push plate 32. At the same time, the push plate 32 also blocks the fixing hole 12, improving the aesthetic appearance of the door cover body 1.

[0055] Optionally, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 is Figure 3 the partial enlarged view of part I in Figure 5 is Figure 4 the partial enlarged view of part A in , the push-and-release door lock 2 includes a crimping portion 21 located in the mounting hole 11 and close to the fixing hole 12; at least part of the push plate 32 is crimped with the crimping portion 21. That is, by crimping the push plate 32 with the crimping portion 21, the fixing effect of the connector 3 on the push-and-release door lock 2 is further improved.

[0056] Optionally, the push-and-release door lock 2 further includes a clamping portion 22 connected to the crimping portion 21. The clamping portion 22 protrudes from the mounting hole 11 and is clamped with the side of the door cover body 1 facing away from the cabinet; the side of the push plate 32 close to the clamping portion 22 abuts against the clamping portion 22. Since both the clamping portion 22 and the push plate 32 protrude from the door cover body 1, by abutting the side of the push plate 32 close to the clamping portion 22 against the clamping portion 22, it is avoided that there is a gap between the push plate 32 and the clamping portion 22 where dust is likely to accumulate, preventing the accumulated dust in the gap from being difficult to clean.

[0057] It can be understood that at least part of the projection of the clamping portion 22 on the door cover body 1 is misaligned with the mounting hole 11, thereby realizing the clamping of the clamping portion 22 with the door cover body 1.

[0058] Optionally, the door cover body 1 includes a connecting portion adjacent to the crimping portion 21. The crimping portion 21, the connecting portion, and the clamping portion 22 together enclose a groove; a protrusion 321 is provided on the push plate 32, and the protrusion 321 is inserted into the groove to crimp the crimping portion 21. By inserting the protrusion 321 into the groove, the connection strength between the push plate 32 and the crimping portion 21 is improved, thereby further improving the fixing effect of the connector 3 on the push-and-release door lock 2.

[0059] In some examples, the protrusion 321 can be a convex block conforming to the shape of the groove. Further, a weight-reducing groove is provided in the convex block to reduce the weight of the protrusion 321. The weight-reducing groove can be rectangular, making the convex block generally in a double-square shape.

[0060] Optionally, the side of the push plate 32 facing away from the door cover body 1 is flush with the side of the clamping portion 22 facing away from the door cover body 1. That is, the outer surfaces of the push plate 32 and the clamping portion 22 are flush, making the outer surface of the door cover body 1 as flat as possible and more aesthetic.

[0061] Optionally, the periphery of the push plate 32 can be chamfered to avoid sharp designs that could easily scratch users.

[0062] This application also provides a garment processing device, including a housing and a door assembly as described above. The door assembly includes a door body 1, a push-to-open lock 2, and a connector 3. The door body 1 is closable and connectable to the housing. The door body 1 has a mounting hole 11 and a fixing hole 12. One end of the push-to-open lock 2 passes through the mounting hole 11 and extends to the side of the door body 1 facing the housing, while the other end is engaged with the mounting hole 11. The push-to-open lock 2 has a connector hole opposite to the fixing hole 12. The connector 3 includes a rod 31, which is sequentially inserted into the fixing hole 12 and the connector hole to fix the push-to-open lock 2 and the door body 1.

[0063] The connector 3 provided in this application embodiment is particularly suitable for push-to-open door lock 2 that is installed by plugging into the door cover body 1 through the mounting hole 11. The connection method is simple and the installation efficiency is high.
