Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of washer-dryer combos, and more particularly to a washer-dryer combo. Background Technology

[0002] In the current technology of washer-dryer combos, the base, as an important component, typically only serves the basic function of supporting and fixing the machine body. Its internal space design is relatively simple and has not been fully developed and utilized, resulting in significant room for improvement in the overall structure's space efficiency.

[0003] Meanwhile, existing front-loading washer-dryer combos generally use a side-mounted design for the clothing loading port. This design results in a relatively low overall height of the machine, forcing users to repeatedly bend over, especially when frequently loading and unloading clothes. For ordinary users, this frequent bending can lead to physical fatigue; for people with lumbar spine conditions, this design undoubtedly increases their physical burden, causing significant inconvenience in daily use and seriously affecting their user experience and quality of life. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a washer-dryer combo to solve the technical problems of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] On one hand, a washer-dryer combo is provided, comprising: a body, a base, and a lifting device. The body is detachably mounted on the base. A dispensing port is provided on the side of the body. The lifting device is located below the base. At least two pull-out slots are provided on the base, and drawers are slidably disposed within the pull-out slots. The two drawers are respectively used to store detergent bottles and tools. The lifting device is provided with a trigger button. The lifting device is configured such that pressing the trigger button once drives the lifting device to raise or lower the base and the body by 15cm. The lifting stroke of the lifting device is between 30cm and 45cm.

[0007] Furthermore, the base is provided with a plurality of positioning posts arranged in an array, and the bottom of the body is provided with positioning holes that cooperate with the positioning posts for positioning.

[0008] Furthermore, the top surface of the base extends upward on both sides to form limiting protrusions, which are located on both sides of the body to limit the lateral displacement of the body.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a washer-dryer combo, including: a body 1, a base 2, and a lifting device 3. The body 1 is detachably mounted on the base 2. The side of the body 1 has a dispensing port 101. The lifting device 3 is located below the base 2. The base 2 has at least two pull-out slots 201, and drawers 4 are slidably disposed in the pull-out slots 201. The two drawers 4 are respectively used to store detergent bottles and tools. The lifting device 3 is provided with a trigger button 5. The lifting device 3 is configured such that: pressing the trigger button 5 once drives the base 2 and the body 1 to rise or fall by 15cm. The lifting stroke of the lifting device 3 is between 30cm and 45cm.

[0029] Based on the above solution, when a user needs to operate the washer-dryer combo, such as adding clothes, retrieving detergent or tools, if the current height of the machine body 1 and base 2 is inconvenient for operation, the user can press the trigger button 5 on the lifting device 3. Pressing the trigger button 5 once will drive the lifting device 3 to raise or lower the base 2 and the machine body 1 mounted on the base 2 by 15cm. The lifting stroke can be adjusted between 30cm and 45cm. The user can press the trigger button 5 multiple times according to their needs to bring the machine body 1 and base 2 to a suitable height. At the same time, the base 2 has at least two pull-out slots 201, and drawers 4 are slidably installed in the pull-out slots 201. The two drawers 4 are used to store detergent bottles and tools respectively, making it convenient for the user to access the relevant items.

[0030] The washer-dryer combo offers significant advantages: Regarding the base 2 design, it overcomes the limitations of existing bases that merely provide support and have limited internal space utilization. By incorporating pull-out slots 201 and drawers 4, it fully utilizes the internal space of the base 2, providing convenient storage for detergent bottles and tools, thus improving space efficiency. Regarding the clothing inlet 101 design, it solves the problem of the existing side inlet 101 causing the machine body 1 to be low and requiring frequent bending for operation. The lifting device 3 allows for height adjustment of both the machine body 1 and base 2, eliminating the need for repeated bending. Whether for ordinary users or those with lumbar spine issues, users can adjust the machine body 1 and base 2 to a suitable height for operation, greatly reducing physical strain and improving the user experience and quality of life.

[0031] Furthermore, the base 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 203 arranged in an array, and the bottom of the body 1 is provided with positioning holes 102 that cooperate with the positioning posts 203 for positioning. When the body 1 is installed on the base 2, the plurality of positioning posts 203 arranged in an array on the base 2 will cooperate with the positioning holes 102 provided on the bottom of the body 1. Through the precise docking of the positioning posts 203 and the positioning holes 102, the installation position of the body 1 on the base 2 can be ensured to be accurate and correct, and the relative position between the body 1 and the base 2 can be guaranteed to be stable and fixed.

[0032] Its beneficial effects are as follows: the cooperation of multiple arrayed positioning posts 203 with positioning holes 102 provides a precise positioning reference for the installation of the machine body 1, making the installation of the machine body 1 on the base 2 more convenient and quick, avoiding repeated adjustments due to positional deviations during installation, and improving installation efficiency. At the same time, this positioning method enhances the connection stability between the machine body 1 and the base 2, effectively reducing displacement of the machine body 1 due to vibration and other reasons during the operation of the washer-dryer combo, ensuring the smooth and reliable operation of the washer-dryer combo, extending the service life of the equipment, and improving the overall performance and quality.

[0033] Furthermore, the top surface of the base 2 extends upwards on both sides to form limiting protrusions 204. These limiting protrusions 204 are located on both sides of the body 1 and are used to restrict the lateral displacement of the body 1. After the washer-dryer combo is assembled, the limiting protrusions 204 formed by the upward extension of the top surface of the base 2 will fit tightly against the two sides of the body 1. When the washer-dryer combo is subjected to external forces or vibrations during operation, the limiting protrusions 204 act like two sturdy barriers, restraining the body 1 from both sides and preventing lateral displacement of the body 1 in the horizontal direction.

[0034] In some embodiments, a guide rail 202 protrudes from the bottom of the pull-out groove 201, and a guide groove 401 is provided at the bottom of the drawer 4 to guide the drawer 4 in conjunction with the guide rail 202. When the drawer 4 needs to be pulled open or pushed in, the guide rail 202 will be embedded in the guide groove 401. During the pulling out and pulling out of the drawer 4, the guide rail 202 slides along the guide groove 401, providing precise guidance for the movement of the drawer 4, ensuring that the drawer 4 can smoothly and easily enter and exit the pull-out groove 201 without jamming or shifting.

[0035] The cooperation between the guide rail 202 and the guide groove 401 greatly improves the smoothness and stability of the drawer 4's pull-out. On the one hand, it makes it easier and more convenient for users to access detergent bottles and tools, improving the user experience. On the other hand, this precise guide design can reduce the wear between the drawer 4 and the pull-out groove 201 during the pull-out process, extend the service life of the drawer 4 and the pull-out groove 201, and ensure the durability and reliability of some related components of the washer-dryer base 2.

[0036] Meanwhile, a handle 402 is provided on the outer side of the drawer 4. With the handle 402 on the outer side of the drawer 4, when the user needs to open or close the drawer 4, they only need to grasp the handle 402 and apply a certain pulling or pushing force. Using the leverage of the handle 402, the drawer 4 can be easily pulled out or pushed in from the pull-out slot 201, thus realizing the opening and closing operation of the drawer 4. The handle 402 provides a convenient point of leverage for the user to operate the drawer 4, making the opening and closing of the drawer 4 more effortless and convenient. Regardless of the weight of the items placed in the drawer 4, the user can easily control the opening and closing of the drawer 4 through the handle 402, without having to exert effort to pull on the edges or other parts of the drawer 4, improving the comfort and efficiency of user operation. Especially for people with less hand strength, such as children or people with hand injuries, the presence of the handle 402 allows them to easily use the drawer 4, further enhancing the convenience and user-friendliness of the washer-dryer combo during use.

[0037] Preferably, the lifting device 3 includes two spaced-apart supports 301, a connecting plate 302 located above the supports 301, and two hydraulic components 303 respectively connecting the supports 301 and the connecting plate 302. The connecting plate 302 is connected to the base 2, and the supports 301 have a space for accommodating the hydraulic components 303. A bellows cover 304 is provided between the supports 301 and the connecting plate 302. When the lifting device 3 is working, the two spaced-apart supports 301 serve as a supporting structure, providing a stable foundation for the entire device. The connecting plate 302 located above the supports 301 is connected to the base 2. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the base 2 and the machine body 1, the two hydraulic components 303 respectively connecting the supports 301 and the connecting plate 302 start working. The hydraulic components 303 move telescopically within the accommodating space, and through the pressure transmission of hydraulic oil, the connecting plate 302 drives the base 2 and the machine body 1 mounted on the base 2 to rise or fall. The bellows cover 304, which is installed between the bracket 301 and the connecting plate 302, extends and retracts as the connecting plate 302 rises and falls, serving to protect the hydraulic components 303, prevent dust and debris from entering, and maintain the overall aesthetics of the device.

[0038] Its beneficial effects are as follows: The use of two spaced-apart brackets 301 and two hydraulic components 303 ensures that the lifting device 3 operates more smoothly and with more even force distribution during lifting, avoiding swaying or jamming caused by uneven force on one side, thus improving the stability and reliability of the lifting process. The hydraulic components 303 are placed within the space formed by the brackets 301, which not only makes the structure more compact and saves space but also provides some protection for the hydraulic components 303, extending their service life. The bellows cover 304 further enhances the protective performance of the device, while its retractable nature does not affect the normal operation of the lifting device 3, improving the overall quality and user experience of the device while ensuring functionality.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that a level sensor is installed inside the base 2, and the level sensor is electrically connected to each of the two hydraulic components 303. The level sensor installed inside the base 2 can monitor the level status of the base 2 in real time. When the base 2 tilts due to uneven ground or other factors, the level sensor will detect this level change and transmit the signal to the two hydraulic components 303 electrically connected to it. According to the received signal, the hydraulic components 303 automatically adjust their extension length, thereby changing the height of the connecting plate 302, and thus adjusting the level of the base 2 and the machine body 1 installed on it, so that the washer-dryer combo always remains in a level state.

[0040] The inclusion of a level sensor enables the washer-dryer combo to automatically adjust its level. On one hand, this ensures the combo's stability during operation, preventing vibrations and noise caused by tilting, thus improving operational accuracy and reliability and enhancing washing and drying performance. On the other hand, it automatically adapts to different floor conditions, ensuring the combo remains level even on uneven surfaces. This reduces damage caused by uneven ground, extends the combo's lifespan, and provides users with a more stable and reliable experience.

[0041] Specifically, the inner wall of drawer 4, where tools are stored, is equipped with magnetic strips for securing metal tools. These magnetic strips hold the tools in place, allowing users to easily see their location when searching for a tool, eliminating the need to rummage through drawer 4, saving time and improving tool retrieval efficiency. This also prevents tools from being randomly placed in drawer 4, resulting in a more organized and tidy arrangement, facilitating tool management and maintenance.

[0042] During the operation of the washer-dryer combo, if tools inside drawer 4 move around freely, they may collide with the inner wall of drawer 4, generating noise. The magnetic strip secures the tools, reducing the likelihood of such collisions and thus lowering the noise level during operation, creating a quieter operating environment for the user. Furthermore, the movement of tools could cause impacts to the base 2 or other components of the washer-dryer combo, potentially damaging the equipment over time. The magnetic strip prevents potential damage to the equipment and extends the lifespan of the washer-dryer combo.
