Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing handling devices, and more specifically to a door seal for a clothing handling device and a corresponding clothing handling device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing drum-type garment handling units typically include an inner tub, an outer tub, and a door seal. The door seal is usually a single piece made of elastic material, with one end connected to the outer tub and the other end connected to the front panel of the garment handling unit. This creates a relatively sealed washing space during operation, effectively preventing water overflow and ensuring a stable environment for garment handling. This connection also acts as a buffer and shock absorber, reducing the transmission of vibrations generated during high-speed operation to the front panel and minimizing noise impact on the surrounding environment. The inner tub is installed inside the outer tub and can rotate relative to it to perform operations such as garment handling. Therefore, a gap exists between the openings of the outer and inner tubs. When the garment handling unit performs garment handling, garments can easily become caught and trapped in this gap. Due to the continuous rotation of the inner tub, the trapped garments are easily pulled and abraded, causing damage. Furthermore, if too many garments are trapped, the inner tub may jam and stop rotating.

[0003] Existing solutions utilize door seals to cover the gaps, but their effectiveness in preventing clothing from getting caught, i.e., their blocking effectiveness, is still insufficient. It is necessary to propose an improved solution. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an improved door seal to solve the problem of clothing being caught and trapped in the gap between the inner tub opening and the outer tub opening.

[0005] According to a first aspect of this application, a door seal for a garment handling apparatus is provided, the door seal comprising: an outer tub connection portion connected to an outer tub; an annular base extending radially inward from the outer tub connection portion into an inner tub along a depth direction of the garment handling apparatus, and having an upper portion and a lower portion relative to the height direction of the garment handling apparatus; and a protrusion located at the upper portion of the annular base, the protrusion protruding radially inward from the annular base, wherein the protrusion has an outer edge and a connection portion connecting the outer edge to the annular base, the connection portion including a structured structure.

[0007] According to an alternative embodiment of this application, the reinforcing rib is located on one or both sides of the protrusion in the depth direction of the garment handling device.

[0008] According to an optional embodiment of this application, the structured structure includes at least two sets of reinforcing ribs, each set having one or more reinforcing ribs extending in the same direction, and the reinforcing ribs of each set having different extending directions, wherein one or more reinforcing ribs of one set intersect with one or more reinforcing ribs of the other set.

[0009] According to an optional embodiment of this application, the structured structure includes three sets of reinforcing ribs, and the included angle between each pair of the three intersecting reinforcing ribs is 120 degrees, thereby forming a honeycomb structure.

[0013] According to an alternative embodiment of this application, the door seal includes two protrusions that are vertically symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the inner tub of the garment handling device.

[0014] According to an alternative embodiment of this application, the door seal further includes a protruding connecting portion connecting the two protrusions, the protruding connecting portion including another structured structure.

[0015] According to an optional embodiment of this application, the included angle between the adjacent first ends of the two protrusions is in the range of 15 to 45 degrees.

[0016] According to an optional embodiment of this application, the included angle between the second ends of the two protrusions that are far apart from each other is in the range of 90 to 180 degrees.

[0017] According to an alternative embodiment of this application, the outer edge of the protrusion gradually approaches the annular base radially from the first end to the second end, and joins the annular base at the second end.

[0018] According to a second aspect of this application, a garment handling apparatus is provided, the garment handling apparatus including any of the door seals according to this application.

[0019] Through certain embodiments of this application, a door seal can be used to prevent clothing from getting caught in the gap between the inner and outer tubs, and the structural strength of the door seal protrusion is enhanced, the use of materials is optimized, the structural stability is improved, and the anti-tumble ability of the protrusion is improved.

[0061] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial technical effects of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. In the various drawings of this application, features with the same structure or similar function are represented by the same reference numerals.

[0062] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a garment processing apparatus according to an embodiment of this application. In this figure, the X direction represents the depth direction of the garment processing apparatus, and the Z direction represents the height direction of the garment processing apparatus. Figure 1 As shown, the garment handling device includes a door seal 100, an outer tub 200, and an inner tub 300. The inner tub 300 has a central axis A, and during operation of the garment handling device, the inner tub 300 can rotate within the outer tub 200 about the central axis A to handle garments, etc. In the garment handling device, components that cooperate with the door seal 100 also include, for example... Figures 2 to 4 The water inlet pipe 70, water return pipe 80, and drying air duct 90 shown are respectively equipped with corresponding water inlets 7, water return inlets 8, and air duct openings (not marked in the figure) on the side wall of the door seal 100. These fluid openings are usually located in the upper part of the door seal 100.

[0063] Figure 8 The diagram illustrates the fit between the door seal 100 and the inner drum 300 and outer drum 200. (Example) Figure 8 As shown, the door seal 100 includes a front panel connecting structure 5 connected to the front panel of the garment handling device, an outer tub connecting portion 6 connected to the outer tub 200, and a curved structure 4 extending and connecting therebetween. The curved structure 4 extends in a generally S-shape. See also Figure 5b The outer tub connecting part 6 includes a first groove 61 and a second groove 62, with the openings of the two grooves facing opposite directions. During assembly, the opening of the outer tub 200 is inserted into the first groove 61, and then secured in the second groove 62 using connecting components (such as steel wires, clamps, etc.). This utilizes the curved contours of the first and second grooves 61 formed by the outer tub connecting part 6 to achieve a fixed connection with the outer tub 200.

[0064] Door seal 100 also includes a radially inner side extending from the outer tub connection 6 along the depth direction X of the garment handling device (see...). Figure 1 The annular base 1 extends towards the inner barrel 300. Figure 3 The annular base 1 can be seen in the rear perspective view of the door seal 100. The annular base 1 has an upper part 11 and a lower part 12 in the height direction Z relative to the garment handling device (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown).

[0065] In practice, the inventors discovered that at the upper part 11 of the annular base 1, due to the gap between the door seal 100 and the inner barrel opening (in... Figure 8 As indicated by d), when the inner tub 300 rotates during the garment handling operation, it is easy for garments inside the inner tub 300 to get caught in this gap, especially when the tub is fully loaded. However, at the lower part 12 of the annular base 1, although there is also a gap between the door seal 100 and the opening of the inner tub, the garments are less likely to get caught in this gap at the lower part 12 of the annular base 1 due to the obstruction of the glass cover of the door.

[0066] Therefore, the inventor proposed setting such a [feature] at the upper part 11 of the annular base 1. Figure 3 The protrusion 2 shown is for preventing clothing from getting caught in the gap. See also Figure 3 The protrusion 2 protrudes radially inward from the annular base 1, that is, extends toward the center of the annular base 1. The central axis A of the inner barrel 300 passes through the center of the annular base 1.

[0067] In particular, such as Figure 4 As shown, the protrusion 2 has an outer edge 21 and a connecting portion 22 that connects the outer edge 21 to the annular base 1. The connecting portion 22 includes a structured structure. Here, the term "structured structure" refers to a structure having a specific geometry, size, and / or organizational structure to meet specific mechanical performance and engineering structural requirements.

[0068] The connecting part 22 allows the impact force of clothing on the protrusion 2 to be distributed and transferred to the larger annular base 1. The structured structure of the connecting part 22 can effectively disperse the impact force of clothing on the protrusion 2 and improve the structural strength of the protrusion 2. This can improve the deformation resistance of the protrusion 2, making the overall structure more robust and durable and able to withstand greater impact forces from clothing. This prevents the protrusion 2 from flipping and failing due to clothing impact, thus improving the anti-clothing-entrapment effect of the door seal 100.

[0069] In particular, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the structured structure may include at least one reinforcing rib 221 and a first recess 222 adjacent to and recessed relative to the reinforcing rib 221. The design of the first recess 222 can optimize material use, reduce material waste, and save materials. The strength reduction caused by the first recess can be compensated by the reinforcing rib, thus the combination of the reinforcing rib and the first recess can achieve economic benefits while improving structural strength. Figure 5bAn exemplary arrangement of the reinforcing rib 221 is shown. As can be seen from the figure, the reinforcing rib 221 connects the outer edge 21 of the protrusion 2 to the annular structure 1. This helps to prevent the outer edge 21 from flipping and failing to prevent clothing from getting caught when subjected to the impact force of clothing.

[0070] In some embodiments, the reinforcing rib 221 may be located on one or both sides of the protrusion 2 facing the depth direction X of the garment handling device. The reinforcing rib 221 is preferably located on the side of the protrusion 2 facing the inner tub 300 along the depth direction X of the garment handling device, because this side will mate with the inner tub 300. However, the reinforcing rib 221 may also be additionally provided on the opposite side to further enhance the strength of the protrusion 2.

[0071] In some embodiments, the structured structure may include at least two sets of reinforcing ribs 221, each set having one or more reinforcing ribs 221 extending in the same direction, and the reinforcing ribs 221 in each set having different extending directions, wherein one or more reinforcing ribs in one of the at least two sets intersect with one or more reinforcing ribs in the other set. This provides improved structural strength.

[0072] Figure 7 Several possible combinations of reinforcing ribs are shown. Figure 7 In diagram (a-1), two sets of reinforcing ribs 221-1 and 221-2 are shown. The first set 221-1 includes multiple reinforcing ribs, and the second set 221-2 includes one reinforcing rib. Each reinforcing rib in the first set intersects with a reinforcing rib in the second set, for example, perpendicularly as shown. Diagram (a-2) shows a combination of the first set 221-1 and the second set 221-2, each including multiple reinforcing ribs. The number of reinforcing ribs in each set can be the same or different. Diagram (a-3) uses a curved lower edge to cut off a portion of the complete schematic structure shown in diagram (a-1) compared to diagram (a-1). This indicates that for the actual protrusion 2, the specific combination of reinforcing ribs included in the structured structure can be any part of the complete schematic structure shown in diagram (a-1). This also applies to embodiments with other combinations of reinforcing ribs. That is, Figure 7 as well as Figure 6 The various embodiments shown only emphasize the relative positions and arrangements of the stiffeners, and are unrelated to the length of each stiffener in the structured structure or the overall extension of the stiffener assembly. Figure 7In (b-1), the reinforcing ribs of the first group 221-1 and the second group 221-2 intersect at their endpoints, forming a polygonal structure. In (b-2), based on the reinforcing rib combination shown in (b-1), there is a third group 221-3, which includes, for example, a reinforcing rib that intersects both the first group 221-1 and the second group 221-2. In (b-3), similar to (b-2), there are three groups of reinforcing ribs, but the number of reinforcing ribs in the first group 221-1 and the second group 221-2 is doubled per unit length, thus forming a structure internally composed solely of triangles (excluding edges). Therefore, within the structured structure, adjacent reinforcing ribs can enclose triangles, rectangles, squares, trapezoids, pentagons, hexagons, or more polygonal shapes.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment, the structured structure may include three sets of reinforcing ribs 221, and the included angle α between each pair of the three intersecting reinforcing ribs (see...). Figure 6 The angle is 120 degrees, thus forming a honeycomb structure. Figures 3 to 6 This illustrates such a honeycomb structure. This honeycomb structure can effectively transmit the force flow in the protrusion, allowing the impact force of clothing on the protrusion to be better distributed in the protrusion and transmitted to the annular base 1. This helps to give the protrusion 2 stronger structural strength and resistance to deformation, thereby improving the door seal's effect of preventing clothing from getting caught.

[0074] Advantageously, the strength of the reinforcing rib 221 can be increased within an appropriate range. Preferably, the width of the reinforcing rib 221 can be in the range of 1 to 5 mm, for example, 3 mm. Additionally or alternatively, the chamfer of the edge of the reinforcing rib 221 can be in the range of 1 to 5 mm, for example, 2 mm. The chamfer design can improve the structural stability of the reinforcing rib 221.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the extension dimension of the reinforcing rib 221 along the depth direction X of the garment handling device towards the inner tub 300 is smaller than the extension dimension of the annular base 1 in the same direction, and the outer edge 21 of the protrusion 2 extends at least rearward (i.e., towards the inner tub 300) to the opening of the inner tub 300 in the same direction. For example, Figure 8 The gap d between the end face of the reinforcing rib 221 and the opening of the inner tub 300 can be 3.7 mm. The outer edge 21 of the protrusion 2 extends further toward the inner tub 300 than the reinforcing rib 221, which can further reduce the gap between the inner and outer tubs, thereby effectively preventing clothing from being caught in the gap. Preferably, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the outer edge 21 of the protrusion 2 extends rearward at least beyond the opening of the inner tub 300 to provide stronger protection for clothing.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5a As shown, the door seal 100 may include two protrusions 2 symmetrical to a vertical plane relative to the central axis A of the inner tub 300 of the garment handling device. The two protrusions 2 preferably have a structure that is perfectly mirror-symmetrical with respect to the vertical plane. Figure 5a As shown, each protrusion 2 has two ends along the circumferential direction of the annular base 1. One end of one protrusion 2 is adjacent to the other end of another protrusion 2, both referred to as first ends 23, while the other ends of one protrusion 2 are distant from each other, both referred to as second ends 24. Preferably, the two first ends 23 are mirror-symmetrical, and the two second ends 24 are also mirror-symmetrical. Preferably, the included angle between the first ends 23 can be in the range of 15 to 45 degrees. Additionally or alternatively, the included angle between the second ends 24 can be in the range of 90 to 180 degrees. This provides effective clothing blocking in the circumferential direction. Exemplarily, the included angle between the first ends 23 can be 20 degrees or 30 degrees, and the included angle between the second ends 24 can be 120 degrees.

[0077] Preferably, the outer edge 21 of the protrusion 2 gradually approaches the annular base 1 radially from the first end 23 to the second end 24, and joins the annular base 1 at the second end 24. That is, in the radial direction of the annular base 1, the first end 23 of the protrusion 2 extends further from the annular base 1 toward the center of the annular base 1 than its second end 24. This is because, regardless of whether the inner tub 300 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the first end 23 of the protrusion 2 contacts the clothing before the second end 24 or bears a greater impact force from the clothing than the second end 24. Therefore, it is advantageous to set the first end 23 to have a larger extension dimension or volume relative to the second end 24, which can ensure the strength of the protrusion 2, optimize the structure of the protrusion 2, and save materials. The joining of the outer edge 21 of the protrusion 2 to the annular base 1 at the second end 24 can transfer or disperse the impact force of the clothing received by the outer edge 21 to the larger annular base 1, thereby improving the deformation resistance of the protrusion 2 and the overall stability of the door seal, making the operation of the clothing handling device smoother and more reliable.

[0078] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5aAs shown, the door seal 100 may further include a protruding connecting portion 3 connecting the two protrusions 2. Through the protruding connecting portion 3, the two spaced-apart protrusions 2 can be connected to achieve mutual restraint, thereby increasing the strength of the protrusions 2 and transmitting and dispersing the force on a single protrusion 2 to the protruding connecting portion 3 and the other protrusion 2, reducing the degree of deformation of a single protrusion 2. This improves the blocking effect of the protrusions 2. Preferably, the protruding connecting portion 3 may include another structured structure. This other structured structure may be the same as or different from the structured structure of the connecting portion 22 of the protrusions 2 described above. For example, as... Figure 4 As shown, the protruding connecting portion 3 may include a second recessed portion 31 in the shape of an elongated strip and an outer edge protruding relative to the second recessed portion 31. The protruding outer edge of the protruding connecting portion 3 may be substantially flush with or narrower than the outer edge 21 of the protrusion 2 along the depth direction X of the garment handling device. The outer edge of the protruding connecting portion 3 abuts and smoothly and continuously transitions to the outer edge 21 of the protrusion 2.

[0079] This application also relates to a garment handling apparatus including any of the aforementioned door seals 100. Here, the garment handling apparatus may be a drum washing machine or a drum washer-dryer.

[0080] This application achieves the technical objective of preventing clothing from getting caught in the gap between the inner and outer tubs by adopting a series of innovative structural designs for the door seal. At the same time, it enhances the structural strength of the protrusion, saves materials, improves stability, and makes the protrusion more resistant to tipping.
