Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing equipment technology, specifically to a clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, when the washing machine's drum is operating, the door lock typically locks automatically to prevent accidental opening. To prevent the door from being unable to open due to lock malfunction, the lock cylinder is usually connected to an emergency release cable, which is pulled to manually open the door. The free end of the emergency release cable typically extends to the lower end of the machine casing. However, when the washing machine has multiple drums and multiple emergency release cables, having all emergency release cables extend to the lower end of the casing results in some cables being excessively long, increasing the difficulty and cost of their installation within the casing. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of this utility model propose a garment processing device, which has the advantages of low difficulty and low cost in arranging the first cable within the casing.

[0005] The garment processing device of this utility model embodiment includes a housing, a first processing cylinder, a second processing cylinder, a first cylinder door, a second cylinder door, a first door lock, a second door lock, and a first pull cable. The first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder are disposed inside the housing, with the first processing cylinder located above the second processing cylinder. The first cylinder door is used to close and open the opening of the first processing cylinder, and the second cylinder door is used to close and open the opening of the second processing cylinder. The first door lock is used to lock the first cylinder door, and the second door lock is used to lock the second cylinder door. The first pull cable is used to unlock the first door lock, with a first end connected to the first door lock and a second end extending to the top of the housing.

[0006] According to the clothing processing device of this utility model embodiment, by installing a first processing cylinder and a second processing cylinder from top to bottom inside the housing, different clothes or other items to be processed can be classified and placed into the first processing cylinder and the second processing cylinder for processing. Since the first processing cylinder is located above the second processing cylinder, the first lock is correspondingly located above the second lock. The first lock is closer to the top of the housing in the vertical direction. At this time, extending the second end of the first pull cable away from the first lock to the top of the housing allows the first lock to be manually unlocked by pulling the second end of the first pull cable at the top of the housing. This also makes the length of the first pull cable shorter, occupies less space inside the housing, and effectively reduces the difficulty and cost of arranging the first pull cable without interfering with other components inside the housing.

[0007] In some embodiments, the garment handling device further includes a second pull cable for unlocking the second lock. A first end of the second pull cable is connected to the second lock, and a second end extends to the lower part of the housing. Since the second lock is located below the first lock and closer to the lower part of the housing, extending the second end of the second pull cable away from the second lock to the lower part of the housing results in a shorter second pull cable, occupying less space within the housing. This also effectively reduces the difficulty and cost of arranging the second pull cable without interfering with other components inside the housing.

[0008] In some embodiments, there are two of each of the first processing cylinder, the first cylinder door, the first door lock, and the first pull cable, with the two first processing cylinders distributed on the left and right sides of the second processing cylinder. Thus, with two first door locks, the second ends of the corresponding two first pull cables extend to the top of the housing, resulting in shorter lengths of the two first pull cables and lower installation difficulty and cost. Furthermore, each first door lock corresponds to an independent first pull cable, making the manual opening operations of the two first cylinder doors independent of each other, thereby providing flexibility in the manual opening of the corresponding first cylinder door and ensuring that the normal operation of the other first processing cylinder is not affected during manual opening.

[0009] In some embodiments, in the two first processing cylinders, each first processing cylinder has an inner side adjacent to the other first processing cylinder, and the first door lock is located on the inner side of the corresponding first processing cylinder. This ensures that any first cylinder door opens outwards from the center of the housing in the left-right direction, meaning all first cylinder doors are outward-opening doors, thus preventing interference between the opening operations of the two first cylinder doors. Furthermore, this arrangement allows for a larger space between the two first processing cylinders, making the placement of the first cable easier and less likely to interfere with other components within the housing.

[0010] In some embodiments, the garment processing device further includes a fixing frame connected between the two first processing cylinders. Thus, the fixing frame constrains the position of the two first processing cylinders, which, despite mutual interference, also helps reduce the swaying amplitude of either second processing cylinder during operation, thereby reducing the noise generated by the first processing cylinders during operation.

[0011] In some embodiments, the two first processing cylinders are symmetrical to each other with respect to a vertical plane passing through the central axis of the second processing cylinder, or the two first processing cylinders are symmetrical to each other with respect to a vertical plane passing through the central axis of the housing, and the capacity of the first processing cylinder is smaller than the capacity of the second processing cylinder. This also results in the two first cylinder doors being arranged symmetrically from left to right, thus enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the garment processing equipment. Simultaneously, it also ensures that the center of gravity of the garment processing equipment is roughly located in the middle of the entire machine, leading to greater stability during operation.

[0012] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with an operating through-hole for operating the first cable, and the garment processing equipment further includes a cover, which is pivotally connected to the housing to open and close the operating through-hole. Thus, the cover normally closes the operating through-hole, effectively preventing external impurities from entering the housing and affecting the performance of the garment processing equipment, while also improving the aesthetic appearance of the garment processing equipment.

[0013] In some embodiments, the housing includes a top cover with an operating through-hole for operating the first pull cable. Thus, the operator can manually unlock the first door lock by simply holding the second end of the first pull cable downwards through the operating through-hole and pulling the first pull cable. The manual unlocking operation of the first door lock is convenient and effortless.

[0014] In some embodiments, there are two of each of the first processing cylinder, the first cylinder door, the first door lock, the first pull cable, and the operating through hole, with the two first processing cylinders distributed on the left and right sides of the second processing cylinder. Thus, with two first door locks, the second ends of the corresponding two first pull cables extend to the top of the housing, resulting in shorter lengths of the two first pull cables and lower layout difficulty and cost. Furthermore, each first door lock corresponds to an independent first pull cable, making the manual opening operations of the two first cylinder doors independent of each other, thereby providing flexibility in the manual opening operation of the corresponding first cylinder door, and ensuring that the normal operation of the other first processing cylinder is not affected during manual opening.

[0015] In some embodiments, the two operation through holes are located at the front of the top cover, or at the rear of the top cover. Therefore, placing the two operation through holes at the front of the top cover facilitates manual unlocking by the user; or placing the operation through holes at the rear of the top cover makes them less noticeable to users located at the front of the housing, thus improving the aesthetics of the garment processing equipment.

[0016] In some embodiments, the two operating through holes are located at the center of the top cover in the left-right direction, or the two operating through holes are located on the left and right sides of the top cover, respectively. Thus, the operating through holes can be located anywhere on the left, right, or center of the top cover, making their placement on the top cover convenient and flexible.

[0017] In some embodiments, the two operating through holes are located at the center of the top cover in the left-right direction, and the two operating through holes are connected. Therefore, the two operating through holes are formed on the top cover in a single process, resulting in low processing costs for the operating through holes on the top cover.

[0018] In some embodiments, both first door locks are located between the two first processing cylinders, the two operating through holes are located at the front of the top cover and at the center of the top cover in the left-right direction, each first door lock is located directly below the corresponding operating through hole, and both first pull cables extend in the up-down direction. Therefore, the length of the two first pull cables is shorter, their cost is lower, and their arrangement within the housing is easier and less costly.

[0019] In some embodiments, one of the operating through holes is located at any one of the left front corner, left rear corner, and center position in the left-right direction of the top cover, and the other operating through hole is located at any one of the right front corner, right rear corner, and center position in the left-right direction of the top cover. Thus, by placing the operating through holes at the corners of the top cover, the operating through holes do not excessively encroach on the central space of the top cover, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing top cover appearance. Alternatively, by placing the operating through holes in the center of the top cover, the first pull cable arranged inside the housing can be located at the center of the housing, reducing the likelihood of interference with the adjacent first processing cylinder, and making the arrangement of the first pull cable more convenient and flexible.

[0020] In some embodiments, at least one of the operating through holes is horizontally offset from the corresponding first door lock, and the first cable includes at least one bent section. The first cable also includes a first cable segment and a second cable segment disposed on both sides of one of the bent sections. The first cable segment extends vertically, and its free end is connected to the corresponding first door lock. The second cable segment extends from the bent section to the corresponding operating through hole. Therefore, the inclusion of at least one bent section in the first cable effectively ensures that the first cable does not interfere with other components within the housing when extending from the first door lock to the corresponding operating through hole, thus guaranteeing the operational stability of the garment processing equipment.

[0021] In some embodiments, the housing includes a left side plate and a right side plate spaced apart in a left-right direction, and the upper part of the left side plate or the upper part of the right side plate is provided with an operation through hole for operating the first cable. Therefore, the operation through hole is not easily visible to a user located in front of the garment processing equipment, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the garment processing equipment.

[0022] In some embodiments, the housing includes a left side plate and a right side plate spaced apart in a left-right direction, and the upper part of the left side plate and / or the upper part of the right side plate are provided with an operation through hole for operating the first cable. Therefore, the operation through hole is not easily visible to a user located in front of the garment processing equipment, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the garment processing equipment.

[0023] In some embodiments, both operating through holes are located on the upper part of the left side plate or the right side plate, and the two operating through holes are connected. Therefore, the two operating through holes are formed in one operation on the left side plate or the right side plate, resulting in low processing costs.

[0024] In some embodiments, the operating through-hole is disposed at the front of the left side plate and / or the front of the right side plate;

[0025] The portion of the first cable connected to the first door lock extends vertically, while the other portion of the first cable is located above the first processing cylinder and extends horizontally. This results in only one bend in the first cable, reducing friction when pulling the cable to unlock the first door lock, making manual unlocking of the first door lock more convenient and effortless.

[0026] In some embodiments, the garment handling device further includes a conduit installed within the housing, through which at least a portion of the first pull cord is slidably threaded. Thus, guided by the conduit, the extension direction of the first pull cord can be changed, allowing the second end of the first pull cord to extend accurately and reliably to a predetermined position within the housing. Simultaneously, the conduit also confines the bent portion of the first pull cord to the predetermined position, effectively preventing excessive movement of the first pull cord that could interfere with the normal operation of other components.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0043] The following is combined Figures 1-13 This invention describes a garment processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] The garment processing device of this utility model embodiment includes a housing 1, a first processing cylinder 2, a second processing cylinder 3, a first cylinder door 110, a second cylinder door 120, a first door lock 4, a second door lock 5, and a first pull cable 6. The first processing cylinder 2 and the second processing cylinder 3 are disposed inside the housing 1, with the first processing cylinder 2 located above the second processing cylinder 3. The first cylinder door 110 is used to close and open the opening of the first processing cylinder 2, and the second cylinder door 120 is used to close and open the opening of the second processing cylinder 3. The first door lock 4 is used to lock the first cylinder door 110, and the second door lock 5 is used to lock the second cylinder door 120. The first pull cable 6 is used to unlock the first door lock 4; the first end of the first pull cable 6 is connected to the first door lock 4, and the second end of the first pull cable 6 extends to the top of the housing 1.

[0045] According to the clothing processing device of this utility model embodiment, by installing a first processing cylinder 2 and a second processing cylinder 3 from top to bottom inside the housing 1, different clothes or other items to be processed can be classified and placed into the first processing cylinder 2 and the second processing cylinder 3 for processing. Since the first processing cylinder 2 is located above the second processing cylinder 3, the first lock 4 is correspondingly located above the second lock 5. The first lock 4 is closer to the top of the housing 1 in the vertical direction. At this time, the second end of the first pull cable 6 away from the first lock 4 is extended to the top of the housing 1. This allows the first lock 4 to be manually unlocked by pulling the second end of the first pull cable 6 at the top of the housing 1. It also makes the length of the first pull cable 6 shorter, occupies less space inside the housing 1, and effectively reduces the difficulty and cost of arranging the first pull cable 6 without interfering with other components inside the housing 1.

[0046] It should be noted that the first cable 6 is preferably a soft cable, and its material can be cloth, plastic, metal, etc., that is, it can be rope-like or chain-like. The first processing cylinder 2 is located above the second processing cylinder 3, which means that the first processing cylinder 2 is located directly above or diagonally above the second processing cylinder 3. At the same time, it is also possible that at least a part of the first processing cylinder 2 is higher than the second processing cylinder 3, that is, the lowest point of the first processing cylinder 2 can be higher than the highest point of the second processing cylinder 3.

[0047] In some embodiments, the garment handling device further includes a second pull cable 7 for unlocking the second lock 5. The first end of the second pull cable 7 is connected to the second lock 5, and the second end of the second pull cable 7 extends to the lower part of the housing 1. Since the second lock 5 is located below the first lock 4 and closer to the lower part of the housing 1, extending the second end of the second pull cable 7 away from the second lock 5 to the lower part of the housing 1 results in a shorter length for the second pull cable 7, occupying less space within the housing 1. This also effectively reduces the difficulty and cost of arranging the second pull cable 7 without interfering with other components inside the housing 1.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, there are two first processing cylinders 2, one first cylinder door 110, one first door lock 4, and one first cable 6. The two first processing cylinders 2 are distributed on the left and right sides of the second processing cylinder 3. For example, one first processing cylinder 2 is located at the upper left of the second processing cylinder 3, and the other first processing cylinder 2 is located at the upper right of the second processing cylinder 3.

[0049] Therefore, with two first door locks 4, the second ends of the two corresponding first pull cables 6 extend to the top of the housing 1, resulting in shorter lengths of the two first pull cables 6 and lower installation difficulty and cost. Furthermore, each first door lock 4 corresponds to an independent first pull cable 6, making the manual opening operations of the two first cylinder doors 110 independent of each other. This allows for flexible manual opening of the corresponding first cylinder door 110, ensuring that the normal operation of the other first processing cylinder 2 is not affected during manual opening.

[0050] For example, the two first processing cylinders 2 are arranged symmetrically from left to right, that is, the two first processing cylinders 2 are symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the axis of the second processing cylinder 3, or the two first processing cylinders 2 are symmetrical about a vertical plane about the center of the housing 1. Similarly, the two first cylinder doors 110 are arranged symmetrically from left to right, and the two first door locks 4 are arranged symmetrically from left to right.

[0051] It should be noted that the number of first processing cylinders 2 can also be one. In this case, the first processing cylinder 2 can be located directly above the second processing cylinder 3, or, as... Figure 4 As shown, the first processing cylinder 2 is located to the upper left of the second processing cylinder 3.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, in the two first processing cylinders 2, each first processing cylinder 2 has an inner side adjacent to the other first processing cylinder 2, and the first door lock 4 is located on the inner side of the corresponding first processing cylinder 2.

[0053] This design ensures that each of the first gates 110 opens outwards from the center of the casing 1 in the left-right direction, meaning that each first gate 110 is an outward-opening gate. Consequently, the opening operations of the two first gates 110 do not interfere with each other. Moreover, this design also allows for a larger space between the two first processing cylinders 2, making the placement of the first cable 6 at this location easier and less likely to interfere with other components inside the casing 1.

[0054] Optionally, the two first door locks 4 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and the two first pull cables 6 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right above the two first door locks 4.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 13 As shown, the garment processing equipment also includes a fixing frame 9, which is connected between the two first processing cylinders 2.

[0056] Therefore, the fixing frame 9 constrains the position of the two first processing cylinders 2. Under the mutual interference, it also helps to reduce the shaking amplitude of any second processing cylinder 3 when it is working, thereby reducing the noise generated by the first processing cylinder 2 when it is working.

[0057] Optionally, the fixing frame 9 can be a grid-like rib structure, and the left and right sides of the fixing frame 9 are respectively connected to the outer wall surfaces of the two first processing cylinders 2 that are opposite to each other.

[0058] In some embodiments, the two first processing cylinders 2 are symmetrical to each other with respect to a vertical plane passing through the central axis of the second processing cylinder 3, or the two first processing cylinders 2 are symmetrical to each other with respect to a vertical plane passing through the central axis of the housing 1, and the capacity of the first processing cylinder 2 is less than the capacity of the second processing cylinder 3.

[0059] This arrangement results in the two first gates 110 being symmetrically positioned, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the garment processing equipment. Simultaneously, it places the center of gravity of the garment processing equipment roughly in the middle of the machine, leading to greater stability during operation.

[0060] For example, such as Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, the two first processing cylinders 2 are the same size and shape. When assembling the garment processing equipment, only two processing cylinders, the first processing cylinder 2 and the second processing cylinder 3, need to be prepared, which effectively reduces the production cost of the garment processing equipment and facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0061] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with an operating through hole for operating the first pull cable 6, and the garment processing device further includes a cover 12, which is pivotally connected to the housing 1 to open and close the operating through hole.

[0062] Therefore, the cover 12 closes the operating through hole under normal conditions, so as to effectively prevent external impurities from entering the housing 1 and affecting the performance of the garment processing equipment, while also effectively improving the appearance of the garment processing equipment.

[0063] For example, such as Figures 5-11 As shown, an operating through-hole is provided on the top cover 11, and the cover 12 is pivotally connected to the top cover 11, as shown. Figure 12 As shown, the operating through-hole is located on the left side plate 13, and the cover 12 is pivotally connected to the left side plate 13. Taking the operating through-hole located on the top cover 11 as an example, the upper surface of the top cover 11 has a countersunk hole communicating with the operating through-hole. When the operating through-hole is closed, the cover 12 fits into the countersunk hole. The upper surface of the cover 12 is coplanar with the upper surface of the top cover 11, thereby further improving the aesthetic appearance of the housing 1. The cover 12 engages with the top cover 11 when the operating through-hole is closed.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5-11 As shown, the housing 1 includes a top cover 11, which has an operating through hole for operating the first cable 6.

[0065] Therefore, the operator only needs to hold the second end of the first cable 6 downward through the operating hole and then pull the first cable 6 to manually unlock the first door lock 4. The manual unlocking operation of the first door lock 4 is convenient and labor-saving.

[0066] For example, the shape of the operating through hole includes, but is not limited to, square holes and round holes, with the second end of the first pull cable 6 located directly below the operating through hole. Alternatively, the first pull cable 6 may be connected to the top cover 11 and located beside and adjacent to the operating through hole. In this case, the portion of the first pull cable 6 adjacent to the second end needs to be directly below the operating through hole so that the operator can visually see and hold the first pull cable 6.

[0067] In some embodiments, there are two first processing cylinders 2, one first cylinder door 110, one first door lock 4, one first pull cable 6, and one operation through hole, wherein the two first processing cylinders 2 are distributed on the left and right sides of the second processing cylinder 3. For example, one first processing cylinder 2 is located at the upper left of the second processing cylinder 3, and the other first processing cylinder 2 is located at the upper right of the second processing cylinder 3.

[0068] Therefore, with two first door locks 4, the second ends of the two corresponding first pull cables 6 extend to the top of the housing 1, resulting in shorter lengths of the two first pull cables 6 and lower installation difficulty and cost. Furthermore, each first door lock 4 corresponds to an independent first pull cable 6, making the manual opening operations of the two first cylinder doors 110 independent of each other. This allows for flexible manual opening of the corresponding first cylinder door 110, ensuring that the normal operation of the other first processing cylinder 2 is not affected during manual opening.

[0069] In some embodiments, the two operating through holes are located at the front of the top cover 11, or the two operating through holes are located at the rear of the top cover 11.

[0070] Therefore, placing the two operation through holes at the front of the top cover 11 facilitates manual unlocking by the user. Alternatively, placing the operation through holes at the rear of the top cover 11 makes them less noticeable to users located at the front of the housing 1, thus enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the garment processing equipment.

[0071] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the two operating through holes are located in the front center of the top cover 11, as... Figure 7 As shown, the two operating through holes are located at the front center and right front corner of the top cover 11, respectively. Figure 9 As shown, the two operating through holes are located at the left front corner and the right front corner of the top cover 11, respectively. Figure 10 As shown, the two operating through holes are located at the left rear corner and the right rear corner of the top cover 11, respectively. Figure 11 As shown, both operating through holes are located in the rear middle of the top cover 11.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the two operating through holes are located at the center of the top cover 11 in the left-right direction, or, as... Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the two operating through holes are located on the left and right sides of the top cover 11, respectively, in the left and right directions.

[0073] Therefore, the operating through hole can be set at any of the left, right and middle parts of the top cover 11, making the setting of the operating through hole on the top cover 11 convenient and flexible.

[0074] For example, such as Figure 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the two operating through holes can be symmetrically arranged relative to a vertical plane passing through the center of the housing 1. Alternatively, as... Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the two operating holes can also be staggered in the front-to-back direction.

[0075] In some embodiments, the two operating through holes are located at the center of the top cover 11 in the left-right direction, and the two operating through holes are connected. Thus, the two operating through holes are formed on the top cover 11 in one step, and the processing cost of the operating through holes on the top cover 11 is low.

[0076] For example, two connected operating through holes are arranged in a left-right direction; or, for another example, two connected operating through holes are arranged in a front-back direction. For another example, the overall cross-sectional outline of the two connected operating through holes is rectangular, meaning one rectangular hole is divided into two square areas for easy operation of different first cables 6. For yet another example, the overall cross-sectional outline of the two connected operating through holes is a gourd shape, narrow in the middle and wide at both sides.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the two first door locks 4 are located between the two first processing cylinders 2, the two operating through holes are located at the front of the top cover 11 and at the center of the top cover 11 in the left-right direction, each first door lock 4 is located directly below the corresponding operating through hole, and the two first pull cables 6 extend in the up-down direction.

[0078] Therefore, the two first cables 6 are shorter in length, have lower cost, are easier to arrange inside the casing 1, and have lower installation cost.

[0079] For example, the two first door locks 4 are symmetrically arranged on the vertical plane relative to the center of the housing 1, and the corresponding two first pull cables 6 are symmetrically arranged on the vertical plane relative to the center of the housing 1.

[0080] In some embodiments, one operating through hole is located at any one of the left front corner, left rear corner and center position in the left-right direction of the top cover 11, and the other operating through hole is located at any one of the right front corner, right rear corner and center position in the left-right direction of the top cover 11.

[0081] Therefore, by placing the operating through hole at the corner of the top cover 11, the operating through hole will not excessively encroach on the central space of the top cover 11, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance of the top cover 11. Alternatively, by placing the operating through hole in the center of the top cover 11, the first pull cable 6 arranged inside the housing 1 can be located at the center of the housing 1, reducing the probability of interference with the first processing cylinder 2 on the side, and making the arrangement of the first pull cable 6 more convenient and flexible.

[0082] For example, such as Figures 5-8 As shown, when the left-side operating through-hole is located at the front center of the top cover 11, the right-side operating through-hole can be located at the front center, the right rear corner, the right front corner, or the rear center of the top cover 11. The two operating through-holes can be symmetrically arranged relative to a vertical plane passing through the center of the housing 1, such as... Figure 11 As shown, both operating through holes are located in the rear center of the top cover 11, as... Figure 10 As shown, the two operating through holes are located at the left rear corner and the right rear corner of the top cover 11, respectively. Figure 9 As shown, the two operating through holes are located at the left front corner and the right front corner of the top cover 11, respectively.

[0083] In some embodiments, at least one operating through hole is horizontally offset from the corresponding first door lock 4. The first cable 6 corresponding to the operating through hole includes at least one bent section. The first cable 6 also includes a first cable section 61 and a second cable section 62 respectively disposed on both sides of one of the bent sections. The first cable section 61 extends in the vertical direction, and the free end of the first cable section 61 is connected to the corresponding first door lock 4. The second cable section 62 extends from the bent section to the corresponding operating through hole.

[0084] Therefore, the setting of at least one bent section in the first cable 6 effectively ensures that the first cable 6 will not interfere with other components inside the housing 1 when it extends from the first door lock 4 to the corresponding operating through hole, thus ensuring the operational stability of the garment processing equipment.

[0085] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, both operating through holes are horizontally offset from the corresponding first door lock 4, and both first pull cables 6 include a bent section, a first pull cable section 61, and a second pull cable section 62. For example, as... Figures 6-8 As shown, the right-side operating through hole and the right-side first door lock 4 can also be arranged in a horizontally offset manner. The right-side first cable 6 includes a bent section, a first cable section 61 and a second cable section 62.

[0086] Optionally, when the two operating through holes are located at the left rear corner and the right rear corner respectively, the free ends of the second cable segments 62 of the two first cables 6 extend to the corresponding operating through holes at the left rear and right rear corners respectively. When the two operating through holes are located at the left front corner and the right front corner respectively, the free ends of the second cable segments 62 of the two first cables 6 extend to the corresponding operating through holes in the left-right direction (one to the left and the other to the right). When both operating through holes are located in the middle and rear parts, the free ends of the second cable segments 62 of the two first cables 6 extend to the corresponding operating through holes in the front-back direction (both to the rear).

[0087] In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a left side plate 13 and a right side plate 14 spaced apart in the left-right direction. An operation through-hole for operating the first pull cable 6 is provided on the upper part of the left side plate 13 or the upper part of the right side plate 14. Therefore, the operation through-hole is not easily visible to the user located in front of the garment processing equipment, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the garment processing equipment.

[0088] For example, if there is only one first processing cylinder 2 and it is located on the upper left side of the second processing cylinder 3, then the operation through hole is located on the upper part of the left side plate 13. Alternatively, if there is only one first processing cylinder 2 and it is located on the upper right side of the second processing cylinder 3, then the operation through hole is located on the upper part of the right side plate 14.

[0089] In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a left side plate 13 and a right side plate 14 spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the upper part of the left side plate 13 and / or the upper part of the right side plate 14 are provided with an operation through hole for operating the first cable 6.

[0090] Therefore, users located in front of the garment processing equipment are less likely to see the operation through-hole, resulting in a high level of aesthetic appeal for the garment processing equipment.

[0091] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, both the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14 of the housing 1 are provided with operation through holes. The second end of the first cable 6 located on the left side extends to the operation through hole of the left side plate 13, and the second end of the first cable 6 located on the right side extends to the operation through hole of the right side plate 14.

[0092] Or, such as Figure 12 As shown, an operation through hole can also be provided only on the left side plate 13, with the second ends of the two first cables 6 extending in the same direction to the same operation through hole.

[0093] In some embodiments, both operating through holes are located on the upper part of the left side plate 13 or the right side plate 14, and the two operating through holes are connected. Thus, the two operating through holes are formed in one operation on the left side plate 13 or the right side plate 14, resulting in low processing costs for the operating through holes.

[0094] For example, two connected operating through holes are arranged in the front-to-back direction, or in the top-to-bottom direction. For example, the overall cross-sectional outline of the two connected operating through holes is rectangular, meaning one rectangular hole is divided into two square areas for easy operation of different first cables 6. For example, the overall cross-sectional outline of the two connected operating through holes is a gourd shape, narrow in the middle and wide at both sides.

[0095] In some embodiments, the operating through-hole is located at the front of the left side plate 13 and / or the front of the right side plate 14. The portion of the first pull cable 6 connected to the first door lock 4 extends in the vertical direction, and the other portion of the first pull cable 6 is located above the first processing cylinder 2 and extends in the horizontal direction.

[0096] As a result, the first cable 6 has only one bend, resulting in less friction when pulling the first cable 6 to unlock the first door lock 4, making the manual unlocking operation of the first door lock 4 more convenient and effortless.

[0097] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the operation through hole is located above the first processing cylinder 2. Both the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14 are provided with operation through holes. The two first cables 6 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides. Each first cable 6 has a bend, that is, one section of the first cable 6 extends in the vertical direction and the other section extends in the horizontal direction.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the garment handling equipment also includes a conduit 10 installed inside the housing 1, and at least a portion of the first cable 6 is slidably inserted through the conduit 10.

[0099] Thus, guided by the conduit 10, the extension direction of the first cable 6 can be changed, so that the second end of the first cable can extend accurately and reliably to the set position of the housing 1. At the same time, the conduit 10 also limits the bent portion of the first cable 6 to the set position, effectively preventing the first cable 6 from moving too much and interfering with the normal operation of other components.

[0100] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conduit 10 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and the conduit 10 is at least fitted over the bend of the first cable 6 to keep the bend of the first cable 6 in a set position inside the housing 1. In other words, the extension direction of the conduit 10 is consistent with the extension direction of the first cable 6.
