[0002] With the improvement of living quality, the demand for clothes processing of families is increasing, and many families tend to purchase two washing machines or a washing machine combined with a clothes dryer to meet the daily use demand. In order to efficiently utilize space and reduce floor occupation, these clothes processing devices are often designed to be installed in a stacking manner along the vertical direction. In order to realize the stacking of these clothes processing devices, additional mounting brackets need to be added to achieve this. Although this method saves horizontal space to some extent, the overall height of the two devices together with the mounting bracket is significantly increased, and due to the addition of the mounting bracket, the overall appearance of the equipment is not simple enough. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The embodiments of the present application disclose a clothes processing device, which can effectively reduce the installation height of the clothes processing device in the vertical direction and improve the overall appearance simplicity of the clothes processing device.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, some embodiments of the present application provide a clothes processing device, comprising:

[0006] A first cabinet, the first cabinet comprising:

[0007] A first main body portion,

[0008] A first top plate portion, the first top plate portion being arranged above the first main body portion, the first top plate portion and the first main body portion being connected to form an internal space of the first cabinet, the first top plate portion having a first top surface facing away from the internal space of the first cabinet along the thickness direction thereof;

[0009] A mounting bracket, the mounting bracket being protruded from the first top surface; and

[0010] A second clothes processing device, the second clothes processing device comprising:

[0011] A second cabinet, the second cabinet comprising:

[0012] A second main body portion;

[0013] The first bottom plate part is arranged below the second main body part, and the first bottom plate part and the second main body part are connected to form an internal space of the second cabinet. The first bottom plate part has a first bottom surface facing away from the internal space of the second cabinet along a thickness direction thereof.

[0014] The first bottom surface is provided with a first mounting groove, and the mounting bracket is at least partially mounted in the first mounting groove, so that the second cabinet is stacked above the first cabinet.

[0015] In this way, the installation height of the clothes treatment equipment in the vertical direction can be effectively reduced. At the same time, since the mounting bracket is at least partially hidden in the first bottom surface of the second clothes treatment device, the mounting bracket is reduced to be exposed to the outside of the first clothes treatment device and the second clothes treatment device, and the overall appearance simplicity of the clothes treatment equipment can be improved.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting bracket is arranged in the first mounting groove, so that the first top surface and the first bottom surface are attached to each other.

[0017] Specifically, the mounting bracket is completely hidden in the first mounting groove, so that seamless installation is achieved between the first clothes treatment device and the second clothes treatment device, that is, face-to-face attachment is achieved between the first top surface of the first clothes treatment device and the first bottom surface of the second clothes treatment device. This not only saves the installation space of the clothes treatment equipment in the height direction, but also improves the overall appearance simplicity of the clothes treatment equipment.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting bracket comprises:

[0019] The mounting plate part is protruded from the first top surface; and

[0020] The protruding part is arranged on a side of the mounting plate part facing away from the first top surface, and the protruding part is provided with a positioning groove.

[0021] The first mounting groove is provided with a footing, and when the mounting plate part is mounted in the first mounting groove, the footing is at least partially located in the positioning groove.

[0022] The mounting plate part and the first mounting groove are correspondingly arranged, and the footing and the positioning groove are correspondingly arranged, so that the connection between the first cabinet and the second cabinet is more stable and reliable, thereby improving the connection stability between the first clothes treatment device and the second clothes treatment device.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting plate part extends in a first direction, and the protruding part comprises two, and the two protruding parts are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the mounting plate part in the first direction.

[0024] The first direction is a width direction or a front-rear direction of the first cabinet.

[0025] That is to say, the two protruding parts on the mounting plate part are arranged in correspondence with two anchor bolts on the second cabinet, which can be two anchor bolts in the width direction of the second cabinet or two anchor bolts in the front-rear direction of the second cabinet. The protruding parts are connected with the second clothes processing device by extending into the first mounting slot, so as to improve the connection strength of the first clothes processing device and the second clothes processing device.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting bracket further comprises an auxiliary positioning member, which is detachably arranged on the mounting plate part. The auxiliary positioning member is configured to be detached from the mounting plate part and connected to the first cabinet and the protruding part, so as to position the position of the mounting plate part on the first top surface.

[0027] By detaching the auxiliary positioning member from the mounting plate part and connecting it to the first cabinet and the protruding part, the position of the mounting plate part on the first top surface is positioned by the auxiliary positioning member, and the relative position of the second clothes processing device and the first clothes processing device can be further positioned, so as to effectively improve the installation efficiency and simplicity of the clothes processing device. The shape of the auxiliary positioning member can be long strip-shaped, and the mounting bracket is limited by the size of the auxiliary positioning member itself.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting bracket is a plastic bracket, and the mounting bracket further comprises a connecting member, one end of the connecting member being connected to the mounting plate part, the other end of the connecting member being connected to the auxiliary positioning member, and the connection between the connecting member and the mounting plate part being configured as a weak part to be separated from the mounting plate part, so that the auxiliary positioning member can be detached from the mounting plate part.

[0029] By configuring the connection between the connecting member and the mounting plate part as a weak part, the user can bend at the connection to quickly separate the auxiliary positioning member from the mounting plate part, so as to realize the use of the auxiliary positioning member by detaching it from the mounting plate part. In this way, when installing the mounting bracket, no additional auxiliary positioning tool is needed, but the auxiliary positioning member can be used to achieve effective simplification of tool use.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, the first cabinet further comprises a first side surface connected to the first top surface, and the edge of the protruding part is provided with a clamping groove.

[0031] The auxiliary positioning member comprises a positioning portion, a first clamping portion and a second clamping portion, the positioning portion extends along a first direction, the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion are respectively connected to two ends of the positioning portion along the first direction;

[0032] When the auxiliary positioning member is detached from the mounting plate portion, the first clamping portion is configured to be detachably clamped in the clamping groove, and the second clamping portion is configured to be detachably clamped on the edge of the first top surface or the first side surface.

[0033] In this way, the auxiliary positioning member can be clamped and connected with the mounting plate portion and the first cabinet through the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion respectively, so as to position the position of the mounting bracket relative to the first clothes processing device, and thus position the position of the second clothes processing device on the first clothes processing device.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the clamping groove comprises:

[0035] The first sub-clamping groove has an opening facing the first direction;

[0036] The second sub-clamping groove has an opening facing the second direction;

[0037] The auxiliary positioning member comprises a plurality of auxiliary positioning members, wherein the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion of one auxiliary positioning member are detachably clamped in the first sub-clamping groove and on the edge of the first top surface, and the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion of another auxiliary positioning member are detachably clamped in the second sub-clamping groove and on the edge of the first side surface;

[0038] One of the first direction and the second direction is the front-rear direction of the first cabinet, and the other of the first direction and the second direction is the width direction of the first cabinet.

[0039] When the second clamping portion is clamped on the edge of the first top surface, the auxiliary positioning member can position the mounting bracket on the first top surface along the front-rear direction of the first cabinet. When the second clamping portion is clamped on the edge of the first side surface, the auxiliary positioning member can position the mounting bracket on the first top surface along the width direction of the first cabinet. Thus, the auxiliary positioning member can be used to position the mounting bracket on the first top surface, which is convenient for the user to position the mounting bracket and makes the installation of the second clothes processing device more smooth and efficient.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting bracket is provided separately from the first top surface, and / or,

[0041] The mounting supports are at least two, and the at least two mounting supports are arranged in the front-rear direction or the width direction of the first cabinet and are arranged close to the edges of the first cabinet.

[0042] The first mounting slots are at least two, and the at least two first mounting slots are arranged corresponding to the at least two mounting supports, and the mounting supports are arranged in the corresponding first mounting slots.

[0043] That is, the mounting supports can be arranged independently of the first clothes processing device, and the user can disassemble the mounting supports without stacking the first clothes processing device and the second clothes processing device, and the external appearance of the first clothes processing device and the second clothes processing device is not affected, thereby ensuring the integrity of the appearance of the first clothes processing device and the second clothes processing device.

[0044] Since the shape of the second clothes processing device is mostly rectangular, and four feet are usually arranged at four corners of the second cabinet, by arranging two feet corresponding to each mounting support, that is, the four feet on the second clothes processing device can be positioned by two mounting supports, thereby further facilitating the stacking installation of the first clothes processing device and the second clothes processing device. The arrangement of the two mounting supports can be arranged in the front-rear direction of the first cabinet or in the width direction of the first cabinet, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the first cabinet further comprises a first front end face in the front-rear direction of the first cabinet, and the first front end face is connected with the first top face.

[0046] The second cabinet further comprises a second front end face in the front-rear direction of the second cabinet, and the second front end face is connected with the first bottom face.

[0047] When the second cabinet is stacked on the first cabinet, the first front end face and the second front end face are flush.

[0048] By arranging the first front end face and the second front end face flush, on the one hand, the overall appearance of the entire clothes processing device is more simple and unified, and on the other hand, the two clothes processing devices are arranged close to the user, which is convenient for the user to operate and put clothes, and improves the user experience of the clothes processing device.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0050] The garment processing equipment disclosed in this application includes a first garment processing device, a mounting bracket, and a second garment processing device. By having the mounting bracket protrude from the first top surface of the first garment processing device and a first mounting groove provided on the first bottom surface of the second garment processing device, the mounting bracket is at least partially installed in the first mounting groove, allowing the second garment processing device to be stacked on top of the first garment processing device. This effectively reduces the vertical installation height of the garment processing equipment. Simultaneously, since the mounting bracket is at least partially hidden within the first bottom surface of the second garment processing device, the amount of the mounting bracket exposed outside the first and second garment processing devices is reduced, thereby improving the overall simplicity of the garment processing equipment's appearance.

[0075] With the continuous improvement of the quality of modern social life, the demand for clothes processing of families is also increasing, and more and more families tend to purchase two washing machines or choose a washing machine with a clothes dryer to meet the daily more detailed and diversified clothes processing needs. At the same time, in order to efficiently utilize the limited living space and minimize the occupation of the ground, these functional rich clothes processing devices are usually designed to be installed in a stacked manner along the height direction.

[0076] However, to achieve the stable stacking between these clothes treatment devices, it is usually necessary to add an additional mounting bracket to achieve the purpose. Although this method greatly saves the valuable horizontal space to some extent, making the home layout more compact and reasonable, it cannot be ignored that the overall height of the two devices together with the mounting bracket is significantly increased, which may bring some inconvenience to some limited height space. More importantly, due to the addition of the mounting bracket, the overall appearance of the equipment combination is more complicated, lacking of unified and harmonious beauty.

[0077] Therefore, the present application provides a clothes treatment device, by protruding the mounting bracket on the first top surface of the first clothes treatment device, and providing the first mounting slot on the first bottom surface of the second clothes treatment device, so that the mounting bracket is at least partially installed in the first mounting slot, so that the second clothes treatment device is stacked above the first clothes treatment device, thereby effectively reducing the installation height of the clothes treatment device in the vertical direction. At the same time, since the mounting bracket is at least partially hidden in the first bottom surface of the second clothes treatment device, the mounting bracket is reduced to be exposed outside the first clothes treatment device and the second clothes treatment device, thereby improving the overall appearance simplicity of the clothes treatment device.

[0078] The technical solution will be further described below in combination with embodiments and drawings.

[0087] It can be known that among the width direction F2, the front-rear direction F3 and the height direction F1 of the first cabinet 11, two of them are perpendicular. That is to say, the width direction F2 of the first cabinet 11 is perpendicular to the front-rear direction F3 of the first cabinet 11, the width direction F2 of the first cabinet 11 is perpendicular to the height direction F1 of the first cabinet 11, and the front-rear direction F3 of the first cabinet 11 is perpendicular to the height direction F1 of the first cabinet 11.

[0088] The basic structure of the second laundry treating apparatus 20 will be briefly introduced as follows.

[0089] The second laundry treating apparatus 20 includes a second cabinet 21 having an internal space, the second cabinet 21 including a second main body portion and a first bottom plate portion disposed below the second main body portion, the first bottom plate portion and the second main body portion being perimetrically connected to form the internal space of the second cabinet 21.

[0090] It can be understood that the first bottom plate portion includes a second bottom plate 21b, the second main body portion includes a second top plate 21a, a second front panel 21c, a second rear panel 21d, and two second side panels 21e, the second top plate 21a, the second bottom plate 21b, the second front panel 21c, the second rear panel 21d, and the two second side panels 21e being perimetrically connected to form the internal space, the second top plate 21a being disposed opposite to the second bottom plate 21b, the second front panel 21c being disposed opposite to the second rear panel 21d, the two second side panels 21e being disposed opposite to each other, the second front panel 21c, the second rear panel 21d, and the two second side panels 21e being connected between the second top plate 21a and the second bottom plate 21b, and the second front panel 21c being provided with a drop opening for dropping laundry. It can be known that the second cabinet 21 is perimetrically formed into a cylinder shape extending in an up-down direction, and the whole is rectangular, of course, other shapes such as a cylindrical shape are also possible, which are not limited herein.

[0091] It can be understood that the extending direction between the second top plate 21a and the second bottom plate 21b is the height direction F1 of the second cabinet 21, the direction in which the second top plate 21a is defined as the upper side of the second cabinet 21, and the direction in which the second bottom plate 21b is defined as the lower side of the second cabinet 21, that is, the up-down direction is the height direction F1 of the second cabinet 21.

[0092] It can be understood that the second front panel 21c is disposed close to the user, and the extending direction between the second front panel 21c and the second rear panel 21d of the second cabinet 21 is defined as the depth direction of the second cabinet 21, the direction in which the second front panel 21c is defined as the front side of the second cabinet 21, and the direction in which the second rear panel 21d is defined as the rear side of the second cabinet 21, that is, the depth direction is the front-rear direction F3 of the second cabinet 21.

[0093] It can be understood that the extending direction between the two second side panels 21e is defined as the width direction F2 of the second cabinet 21, that is, the width direction F2 is the left-right direction of the second cabinet 21.

[0094] It can be seen that among the width direction F2, the front-rear direction F3 and the height direction F1 of the second cabinet 21, any two of them are perpendicular. That is to say, the width direction F2 of the second cabinet 21 is perpendicular to the front-rear direction F3 of the second cabinet 21, the width direction F2 of the second cabinet 21 is perpendicular to the height direction F1 of the second cabinet 21, and the front-rear direction F3 of the second cabinet 21 is perpendicular to the height direction F1 of the second cabinet 21.

[0095] It can be understood that the width direction F2, the front-rear direction F3 and the height direction F1 of the first cabinet 11 are the same as the width direction F2, the front-rear direction F3 and the height direction F1 of the second cabinet 21.

[0096] It can be understood that the first clothes processing device 10 and the second clothes processing device 20 can both be washing machines, or can both be washing-drying integrated machines, or one of the first clothes processing device 10 and the second clothes processing device 20 can be a washing machine, and the other can be a washing-drying integrated machine or a drying machine.

[0097] It can be understood that the volumes of the first clothes processing device 10 and the second clothes processing device 20 can be the same or different. For example, the first clothes processing device 10 can be a large-capacity or super-large-capacity (usually referring to a clothes capacity of 6kg-12kg) washing machine, and the second clothes processing device can be a small-capacity or medium-capacity (usually referring to a clothes capacity of 1kg-6kg) washing machine, so that the height of the first clothes processing device 10 can be greater than that of the second clothes processing device 20, so that the second clothes processing device 20 is stacked on the first clothes processing device 10, and the user does not need to bend over to use the second clothes processing device 20, and the use is more convenient. Of course, the volumes of the first clothes processing device 10 and the second clothes processing device 20 can also be the same. The type and volume of the first clothes processing device 10 and the second clothes processing device 20 are not limited in the present application.

[0098] The specific structure of the mounting bracket 30 and the first clothes processing device 10 and the second clothes processing device 20 will be described in detail below.

[0099] Please refer again to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the clothes processing device 100 includes a mounting bracket 30, which is protruding on the first top surface 111, and the first top surface 111 does not need to be additionally designed to accommodate the mounting bracket 30, so as not to affect the appearance integrity of the first clothes processing device 10.

[0100] It can be understood that the first top surface 111 refers to the side surface of the first top plate 11a away from the internal space of the first cabinet 11 along the height direction F1.

[0101] Optionally, the mounting manner of the mounting bracket 30 and the first top surface 111 includes threaded connection, glue bonding, welding connection, etc., which are not specifically limited in the present application.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 4 Optionally, the first bottom surface 211 is provided with a first mounting groove 2111, and the mounting bracket 30 is at least partially mounted in the first mounting groove 2111, so that the second cabinet 21 is stacked above the first cabinet 11. On the one hand, by protruding the mounting bracket 30 on the first top surface 111 of the first clothes processing device 10, and providing the first mounting groove 2111 on the first bottom surface 211 of the second clothes processing device 20, the mounting bracket 30 is at least partially mounted in the first mounting groove 2111, so that the second clothes processing device 20 is stacked above the first clothes processing device 10, thereby effectively reducing the installation height of the clothes processing equipment 100 in the vertical direction.
