Detailed Implementation

[0051] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0052] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0053] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0054] In this application, at least one of multiple features, such as at least one of features A, B, C, and D, means that it can be a permutation and combination of features such as A, B, C, D, AB, AC, AD, ABD, ABCD, etc., as long as the features do not conflict with each other.

[0055] In this application, A and B are connected either by A and B being molded separately and then connected, or by A and B being molded as a single piece and then connected.

[0056] It is important to know that most modern household appliances are equipped with emergency devices to address malfunctions during normal operation. These devices are designed to allow manual intervention to force open the appliance's door in special circumstances such as program malfunctions preventing automatic door opening, sudden power outages, or lock failures. This allows for the timely removal of items being processed, drainage of water, or inspection and repair of the machine's internal components. The household appliances described in this application can include washing machines, dryers, washer-dryer combos, dishwashers, etc.; the following description uses a washing machine as an example.

[0057] Traditional washing machine emergency devices are usually located on the side of the washing machine with the door. However, this design has limitations, especially when the door cannot be opened normally for various reasons. The emergency device may be obstructed by the door, preventing the user from accessing and activating it, thus limiting the effectiveness of emergency response measures.

[0058] For front-loading washing machines, especially models with a round door design, the emergency drain and emergency pull ring are usually located inside the service cover on the front panel. This layout is because the round door covers a small area of ​​the front panel, so it does not obstruct the opening of the service cover, thus ensuring that users can easily access and operate these emergency devices in an emergency, enabling manual draining and manual door opening.

[0059] However, as consumers pursue aesthetically pleasing designs for washing machines, doors with a larger coverage area (such as square doors) compared to round doors are increasingly favored due to their ease of integration into furniture. But for washing machines with such doors, the larger coverage area on the front panel means that if the door cannot be opened in an emergency, the service cover will also be obstructed, preventing users from accessing the emergency drain and emergency pull ring, thus severely impacting emergency response capabilities.

[0060] Based on this, this application improves upon current household appliances.

[0061] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a household appliance provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 Provided for the embodiments of this application Figure 1 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of structure A; the household appliance of this application embodiment includes a cavity for receiving items to be processed, a box body, a door body, and an emergency device. The cavity for receiving items to be processed has an opening for placing and retrieving items to be processed. The cavity for receiving items to be processed is disposed in the box body, and the box body includes a front panel. The front panel has an opening for exposing the cavity opening. The front panel includes a bottom plate, and the emergency device is disposed on the bottom plate. The household appliance also includes a door lock, and the emergency device includes an emergency pull ring connected to the unlocking part of the door lock. And / or, the emergency device includes an emergency drain, and the household appliance also includes a water tank disposed in the box body, the cavity for receiving items to be processed is located in the water tank, and the emergency drain is connected to the water tank.

[0062] It should be explained that when the household appliance is a clothing processing device such as a washing machine, dryer, or washer-dryer combo, the item-receiving cavity 100 can be a drum for holding clothes. The drum is placed inside the housing 300, which provides a protective outer shell structure for the drum and for fixing and supporting it. A door 200 covers the front panel 310 of the housing 300. A door lock controls the door 200 and front panel 310 to be locked or unlocked. When the door 200 and front panel 310 are locked, the door 200 covers the front panel opening of the drum. When the door 200 and front panel 310 are unlocked, the door 200 can be opened, exposing the front panel opening of the drum and thus the opening of the item-receiving cavity, allowing the user to insert or remove items to be processed. Specifically, one side of the door 200 is hinged to the front panel 310, allowing the door 200 to be opened or closed by rotation.

[0063] The emergency drain 400 is used to quickly drain water from the container 100 for handling items in an emergency. The emergency pull ring 500 is used to manually unlock the door lock in an emergency, switching the door 200 and front panel from the locked state to the unlocked state, thereby opening the door 200 and exposing the front panel opening to expose the clothing container opening.

[0064] Understandably, current emergency devices such as the emergency drain 400 and emergency pull ring 500 are mostly located on the front panel 310 of the cabinet 300. When the door 200 is closed, these devices on the front panel 310 may be obstructed, affecting their emergency use. However, in this application, the user can directly operate the emergency device from the bottom plate of the door in an emergency, which improves the usability of the household appliance. Furthermore, the emergency device is not obstructed by the door on the front panel, making it easier to operate and further enhancing the usability of the household appliance.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a household appliance provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 4 The embodiments provided in this application are shown. Figure 3 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of structure B. The household appliance of this embodiment is used to be mounted on the base 1000, and when the household appliance is mounted on the base 1000, the distance between the bottom of the base plate 311 and the base 1000 is 20-40 mm.

[0066] Understandably, a gap is provided between the bottom of the base plate 311 and the base 1000. This gap helps to ventilate and dissipate heat from the bottom of the base plate 311 and also allows the user to operate the emergency device through the gap.

[0067] In some embodiments, the distance between the bottom of the base plate 311 and the base 1000 is 30 mm.

[0068] In some embodiments, the door 200 has a rectangular structure, and when household appliances are installed on the base 1000, the distance between the bottom of the door 200 and the base 1000 is 50-70mm.

[0069] It is understood that the door 200 in this embodiment can be configured as an approximately rectangular structure, and there is no need to consider whether the door 200 will obstruct the emergency device on the front panel 310. In this application, the door 200 can be positioned closer to the base 1000, making it easier to embed household appliances into other furniture and improving the aesthetics of the household appliances. Specifically, the bottom of the door can be set slightly higher than the bottom of the front panel.

[0070] In some embodiments, the distance between the bottom of the door 200 and the base 1000 is 60 mm.

[0071] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The emergency drainage component of this embodiment includes an emergency drainage pipe that communicates with the sink. The emergency drainage pipe is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate and extends along the width direction of the household appliance. The base plate has a first through hole that extends along the width direction of the household appliance, and the emergency drainage pipe can be pulled out from the first through hole.

[0072] Understandably, the emergency drain pipe 410 can be fixed to the side of the base plate 311 (part of the front panel 310) near the container 100 for the items to be processed. A first through hole 312 on the base plate 311 allows the emergency drain pipe 410 to be pulled out when needed for rapid drainage.

[0073] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 2 and see Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a household appliance provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first fixing member 420 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. The emergency drainage member 400 in this embodiment of the application also includes the first fixing member 420, which is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 311 at the position corresponding to the first through hole 312. The first fixing member 420 has a fixing groove 411 extending along the width direction of the household appliance, and the groove opening of the fixing groove 411 is connected to the first through hole 312. At least a portion of the emergency drainage pipe extends into the fixing groove, and the emergency drainage pipe can be pulled out from the first through hole through the groove opening. One end of the emergency drainage pipe is in the fixing groove, and a third through hole is provided on the top wall or side wall of the fixing groove. The other end of the emergency drainage pipe passes through the third through hole and is connected to the water tank.

[0074] Understandably, the main function of the first fastener 420 is to provide a fixing groove 411 for accommodating and fixing the emergency drain pipe 410. The emergency drain pipe 410 can pass through the third through hole 412 into the fixing groove 411 and can be pulled out from the opening of the fixing groove 411 and the first through hole 312 to realize the emergency use of the emergency drain pipe 410.

[0075] In some embodiments, the fixing groove 411 has a long strip structure, and the emergency drain pipe 410 is placed along the length of the long strip structure.

[0076] In some embodiments of this application, the first fastener 420 is detachably connected to the base plate 311. This facilitates replacement of the first fastener 420 under specific circumstances. Specific circumstances may include damage to the first fastener 420, or the need to replace the first fastener 420 due to the replacement of an emergency drain pipe 410 of a different size.

[0077] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 6 The first fastener 420 of this application embodiment includes at least two sets of elastic fasteners 413, each set including two elastic fasteners 413. The two elastic fasteners 413 are respectively disposed on both sides of the fixing groove 411. The elastic fasteners 413 are configured to engage with the edge of the first through hole 312 when the front panel 310 and the first fastener 420 are installed and adapted.

[0078] It is understandable that the elastic fastener 413 is made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, so it can be detachably assembled with the edge of the first through hole 312 on the base plate 311 through the elastic fastener 413.

[0079] In some embodiments, the distribution direction of the two sets of elastic retaining buckles 413 is the same as the extension direction of the emergency drain pipe 410 in the retaining groove 411.

[0080] It is understandable that setting two sets of elastic fixing buckles 413 helps to improve the assembly stability between the first fixing member 420 and the base plate member 311.

[0081] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 6 And see Figure 7 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the first fastener 420 and the emergency drain pipe 410 provided in the embodiment of this application is shown. The first fastener 420 in the embodiment of this application includes a protrusion 414, which is disposed on at least one side wall of the fixing groove 411, and the protrusion thickness of the protrusion 414 increases along the direction from the top wall of the fixing groove 411 to the groove opening.

[0082] Understandably, after the emergency drain pipe 410 is installed into the fixing groove 411, the emergency drain pipe 410 can be lifted by the protrusion 414 on at least one side wall, which helps to prevent the emergency drain pipe 410 from falling out of the fixing groove 411; and when the emergency drain pipe 410 needs to be used, since the emergency drain pipe 410 itself has a certain degree of elasticity and plasticity, the user only needs to apply a certain degree of pulling force to pull the emergency drain pipe 410 out of the fixing of the protrusion 414.

[0083] In some embodiments, the number of protrusions 414 is at least two, and the two protrusions 414 are respectively disposed on two opposite sidewalls of the fixing groove 411, and the two protrusions 414 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0084] Understandably, after the emergency drain pipe 410 is installed into the fixing groove 411, the emergency drain pipe 410 can be firmly clamped by the protrusions 414 on both sides to prevent the emergency drain pipe 410 from loosening and falling off.

[0085] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 6 The first fixing member 420 in this embodiment includes a limiting part 415. The limiting part 415 is disposed on the top wall of the fixing groove 411 and extends to the side wall of the fixing groove 411. The limiting part 415 is provided with a notch that is adapted to the shape of the emergency drain pipe 410. The notch is used to accommodate the emergency drain pipe 410 to limit the emergency drain pipe 410.

[0086] Understandably, the limiting part 415 not only covers the top area of ​​the fixing groove 411 but also partially extends to the side wall, forming a three-dimensional limiting space. This more effectively prevents the emergency drain pipe 410 from moving within the fixing groove 411. Furthermore, the notch is specifically designed to accommodate the emergency drain pipe 410, ensuring its accurate position and orientation within the fixing groove 411. This also helps prevent the emergency drain pipe 410 from being subjected to excessive pressure or friction, thus reducing damage to its surface.

[0087] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 6 In this embodiment, multiple limiting parts 415 are provided, and the multiple limiting parts 415 are spaced apart along the length direction of the fixing groove 411. This is beneficial to further improve the protection and limiting of the emergency drain pipe 410.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first fastener 420 provided in this embodiment is shown. The first fastener 420 in this embodiment includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 416, which are disposed on the side of the first fastener 420 near the receiving cavity 100 for the item to be processed, and are spaced apart along the length direction of the fixing groove 411.

[0089] Understandably, the reinforcing ribs 416 serve a supporting and reinforcing function in the first fastener 420, which helps to enhance the mechanical strength of the first fastener 420; multiple reinforcing ribs 416 are spaced apart along the length of the fixing groove 411. This layout ensures that the reinforcing ribs 416 are evenly distributed throughout the entire first fastener 420, providing comprehensive structural support.

[0090] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 7 In this embodiment of the application, the emergency drain pipe 410 extends into the fixing groove 411 and is provided with a removable plug 421 at one end.

[0091] Under normal circumstances, the emergency drain pipe 410 is installed in the fixed groove 411, and the drain outlet of the emergency drain pipe 410 is blocked by the plug 421 to prevent the emergency drain pipe 410 from draining. In an emergency, the emergency drain pipe 410 can be pulled out of the fixed groove 411, and then the plug 421 can be pulled out to achieve emergency drainage.

[0092] In some embodiments of this application, the household appliance also includes a drain pump and a conventional drain pipe. The drain pump is connected to the container cavity 100 for the items to be processed, and the conventional drain pipe and the emergency drain pipe 410 are both connected to the drain end of the drain pump.

[0093] Under normal circumstances, the cavity 100 containing the items to be processed is drained through the regular drain pipe. In emergency situations such as leakage or blockage of the regular drain pipe, the emergency drain pipe 410 can be used for drainage.

[0094] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The emergency pull ring includes a pulling member and a second fixing member for fixing the pulling member, wherein the second fixing member is disposed on the lower surface of the base plate; the base plate has a second through hole, through which the pulling member passes and connects to the unlocking member.

[0095] For example, a door lock includes an unlocking element, which may be an unlocking lever.

[0096] For example, the door lock includes a door hook mounted on the door body 200 and a hook groove mounted on the front panel 310. When the door body 200 and the front panel 310 are in the locked state, the unlocking member secures the door hook in the hook groove; when unlocked automatically or manually, the unlocking member disengages the door hook from the hook groove, and the door body 200 and the front panel 310 are in the unlocked state.

[0097] For example, the control system of a household appliance can automatically lock the door and automatically control the unlocking mechanism to unlock the door. Simultaneously, the unlocking lever can also be manually controlled to manually unlock the door in an emergency.

[0098] For example, the pulling element can be a pull rod, a pull rope, etc.

[0099] Understandably, the pull member 510 of the emergency pull ring 500 can be connected to the unlocking member through the second through hole. When the user pulls the pull ring 521, the pull member 510 will pull the door lock and unlock the door 200. Furthermore, the second fixing member 520 can be set on the side of the base plate 311 opposite to the receiving cavity 100 (i.e., the lower surface), making it convenient for the user to operate the pull member 510 outside the household appliance.

[0100] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 It shows Figure 2 A partial enlarged structural diagram of C. The second fixing member 520 of this application embodiment includes a pull ring 521 connected to the pulling member 510, a fixing part 522, and a pull ring fixing member; the fixing part 522 has a fourth through hole 5221 with the axial direction parallel to the extension direction of the pulling member 510; the fixing part 522 passes through the second through hole and is connected to the base plate member 311; the part of the fixing part 522 located outside the base plate member 311 is connected to the pull ring fixing member, and the pull ring 521 is detachably fixed to the pull ring fixing member.

[0101] Understandably, the pull ring 521 is directly connected to the pulling member 510 and can be used to transmit pulling or operating force for user convenience. The fourth through hole 5221 on the fixing part 522 is parallel to the extension direction of the pulling member 510, which helps to ensure that the pulling member 510 can be pulled smoothly and without obstruction. The pull ring fixing member is used to fix the pull ring 521 when the emergency pull ring 500 is not needed, thereby completing the fixation of the pulling member 510.

[0102] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 9 In this embodiment, the fixing part 522 has a connecting wall 526 that is connected to the pull ring fixing member. A wiring groove 527 is provided on the connecting wall 526. When the pull ring 521 is fixed to the pull ring fixing member, the pulling member 510 is connected to the unlocking member through the wiring groove 527 and the fourth through hole 5221.

[0103] In some embodiments, the fixing part 522 and the base plate 311 may be connected by threaded connection, welding, riveting or other means.

[0104] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 9 In this embodiment of the application, the pull ring 521 and the pull ring fixing member are connected by a threaded component. Specifically, under normal circumstances, the pull ring 521 is fixed to the pull ring fixing member by the threaded component, and in an emergency, the pull ring 521 can be removed by disassembling the threaded component.

[0105] In some embodiments, the threaded element is a bolt or screw.

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 The diagram shows an assembly structure of the pull ring fastener and pull ring 521 provided in the embodiment of this application. The pull ring fastener of the embodiment of this application has two oppositely arranged snap-fit ​​portions 524, and a fixing position for fixing the pull ring 521 is defined between the two snap-fit ​​portions 524.

[0107] It is understandable that the fixing position and the pull ring 521 can be an interference fit, and the user can remove the pull ring 521 from the fixing position by applying a certain force, which helps to ensure the assembly stability between the pull ring 521 and the pull ring fixing part under normal conditions.

[0108] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The pull ring fastener is provided with a first fixing hole 525, and the base plate 311 is provided with a second fixing hole. The first fastener 420 is configured to be fixed to the base plate 311 by passing a threaded part through the first fixing hole 525 and the second fixing hole.

[0109] It is understandable that fixing the base plate 311 and the second fixing member 520 with threaded parts can improve the installation stability between the base plate 311 and the second fixing member 520, and also facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the first fixing member 420.

[0110] In some embodiments, the threaded element is a bolt or screw.

[0111] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to 2. The pull ring fastener and the base plate are connected by threaded parts.

[0112] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 2 In this embodiment of the application, the second fixing member 520 is rotatably inserted into the second through hole, and the second fixing member 520 can be rotated and switched between a first position and a second position. When the second fixing member 520 is configured in the first position, the orthographic projection of the second fixing member 520 on the plane where the base plate member 311 is located falls inside the base plate member 311; and when the second fixing member 520 is configured in the second position, the orthographic projection of the second fixing member 520 on the plane where the base plate member 311 is located at least partially falls outside the base plate member 311, so as to expose the side of the second fixing member 520 on which the pull ring 521 is fixed.

[0113] Understandably, the fixing part 522 of the second fixing member 520 and the second through hole can form a clearance fit, allowing the second fixing member 520 to rotate around the fixing part 522 as a rotation point. Under normal circumstances, the second fixing member 520 is rotated to the first position to conceal it under the base plate 311. In an emergency, the second fixing member 520 is rotated to the second position to expose the pull ring 521 on the second fixing member 520 from under the base plate 311, allowing the user to easily access the pull ring 521.

[0114] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the structure of the second fixing member 520 provided in this application embodiment is shown. At least one first positioning part 528 is provided on the side of the second fixing member 520 near the base plate 311, and a second positioning part corresponding to the first positioning part 528 is provided on the base plate 311. One of the first positioning part 528 and the second positioning part is a positioning protrusion, and the other is a positioning groove; and when the second fixing member 520 is rotated to the first position, the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are engaged.

[0115] Understandably, the first positioning part 528 can cooperate with the second positioning part to position the second fixing member 520 in the first position.

[0116] In some embodiments, the positioning protrusion is an arc-shaped protrusion, which helps to reduce the difficulty for the user to remove the second fastener 520 from the first position.

[0117] Please refer to the embodiments described in this application. Figure 11 In this embodiment of the application, at least one boss 529 is provided on the side of the second fixing member 520 near the bottom plate member 311. The boss 529 is used to abut against the bottom plate member 311 when the second fixing member 520 is rotated to the first position.

[0118] It is understandable that when the second fixing member 520 rotates to the first position, due to assembly, structural, or other errors, there may be a certain gap between the second fixing member 520 and the base plate 311. This may cause the second fixing member 520 to be unstable in the first position and may detach from the first position due to vibrations from household appliances. In this embodiment, by providing a boss 529 that abuts against the base plate 311, the second fixing member 520 is fixed by the base plate 311 to reduce the vibration of the second fixing member 520 caused by vibrations from household appliances. On the other hand, the friction between the base plate 311 and the boss 529 can also restrict the position of the second fixing member 520.

[0119] In some embodiments, two bosses 529 are provided, and the two bosses 529 are respectively located on both sides of the first positioning part 528.

[0120] In some embodiments of this application, the inner wall of the fourth through hole 5221 is made of a plastic material. This helps to reduce the resistance of the wall edge of the fourth through hole 5221 to the pulling member 510 when the pulling member 510 is pulled; and can reduce the wear of the wall edge of the fourth through hole 5221 on the pulling member 510.

[0121] In some embodiments, the household appliance is a clothing processing device such as a washing machine, dryer, or washer-dryer combo, where the item to be processed is clothing, and the cavity for receiving the item to be processed can be a drum.

[0122] In some embodiments, the household appliance is a drum-type washing machine, where the items to be processed are clothes, the cavity for receiving the items to be processed can be a drum, and the water tank is the outer drum.

[0123] In some embodiments, the emergency drain is located in the middle of the base plate; the projections of the emergency pull ring and the door lock on the base plate are located on the same side of the cavity containing the item to be processed. For example, the projections of both the emergency pull ring and the door lock on the base plate are located on the right side of the cavity containing the item to be processed. Thus, when the emergency pull ring is not used, the pull member is essentially vertical in the household appliance, reducing wear on the pull member. When the emergency pull ring is required, since the projections of the emergency pull ring and the door lock on the base plate are on the same side of the cavity containing the item to be processed, it is easier to apply force to the unlocking member when pulling the pull member. Furthermore, the emergency drain and the emergency pull ring can be located at different positions on the base plate, facilitating their arrangement on the base plate.
