Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine cover lock unlocking, specifically to an emergency unlocking device for machine cover locks and clothing handling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing garment processing equipment uses a lid lock to secure the lid to the machine body during operation. However, the lid lock's unlocking mechanism is prone to accidental activation, causing the lid to open while the garment is washing clothes. Furthermore, the exposed hook-shaped structure of the lid lock's unlocking mechanism creates a visually disruptive effect, compromising the overall industrial design of the product. Moreover, the complex unlocking structure makes assembly on production lines difficult and challenging to optimize. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides an emergency unlocking device for machine cover locks and a clothing processing device, which can at least solve some of the problems in the prior art.

[0004] The first aspect of this utility model provides an emergency unlocking device for a cover lock, applicable to clothing processing equipment equipped with a cover lock. The cover lock is located inside the housing of the clothing processing equipment. The emergency unlocking device includes: a bracket embedded inside the housing, the bracket having an opening visible from the front of the clothing processing equipment; and an unlocking harness located inside the bracket, one end connected to the cover lock and the other end connected to the inside of the bracket. The unlocking harness is visible through the opening and is configured to unlock the cover lock by extending into the opening and pulling the unlocking harness.

[0005] By employing the above method, the unlocking harness is designed to be exposed only through an opening. The unlocking harness can only be pulled by inserting it into the opening to unlock the cover lock, preventing accidental activation of the unlocking harness during equipment operation. This ensures high reliability and low maintenance costs. Furthermore, the emergency unlocking device for the cover lock retains only the opening in its appearance, preserving the product's design and reducing visual discontinuity.

[0006] Optionally, the emergency unlocking device for the hood lock also includes a latch, located inside the bracket, through which the unlocking harness passes to limit its movement.

[0007] The above method is used to set a latch to limit the unlocking of the wiring harness.

[0008] Optionally, the buckle and the opening are located in the same plane perpendicular to the bracket. The first end of the buckle is fixed to the bracket, and the second end of the buckle includes: a first bending member, which is connected to the first end of the buckle and bent in a direction close to the bracket, for limiting the unlocking harness; and a second bending member, which is connected to the first bending member and bent in a direction away from the bracket, for allowing the unlocking harness to slide into the buckle.

[0009] The above method uses a buckle with a bending structure to limit the unlocking harness, ensuring that the unlocking harness extends along the inner side of the box.

[0010] Optionally, the connection between the first bent member and the second bent member is embedded in the opening.

[0011] By using the above method, the second end of the buckle is limited, further preventing the unlocking harness from coming out of the first bent piece and / or the second bent piece.

[0012] Optionally, the angle between the second bent part and the opening is smaller than the angle between the first bent part and the opening.

[0013] In this way, the included angle of the second bent piece at the end is small, which makes it easier for the unlocking harness to slide into the buckle and be limited by the buckle.

[0014] Optionally, the latch includes a first latch and a second latch disposed opposite to each other along the extension direction of the unlocking harness. The first latch and the second latch are respectively disposed on both sides of the opening. The first latch has a first opening and the second latch has a second opening. The first opening and the second opening are used for the unlocking harness to pass through.

[0015] Using the above method, the two oppositely positioned latches can fix the unlocking harness in the middle position of the two latches, i.e., the two openings, making it easy to pull with external force.

[0016] Optionally, the first fastener has a first fixed end, and the second fastener has a second fixed end, with the first fixed end and the second fixed end located on both sides of the unlocking harness, respectively.

[0017] The above methods facilitate the limiting of the unlocking harness, preventing it from coming loose.

[0018] Optionally, the opening is 3-5mm in size along the direction of the unlocking harness extension.

[0019] By using the above method, the opening size is small, meaning that less of the unlocking harness is exposed. A tool is needed to reach in and pull the unlocking harness, preventing children from sticking their fingers into the opening and accidentally triggering the emergency unlocking function, which could lead to a safety accident.

[0020] Optionally, the buckle and bracket are designed as a single piece.

[0021] The above methods facilitate manufacturing and mold forming, resulting in high structural strength.

[0022] The second aspect of this utility model provides a garment processing device having the above-mentioned emergency unlocking device for the machine cover lock.

[0023] By using the above methods, the risk of the emergency unlocking device being accidentally activated can be reduced when clothes are being washed in the garment processing equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] <Emergency unlocking device for hood lock 100>

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the inner side of the box 202 in the embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A magnified view of point A in the middle. (Reference) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first embodiment of this utility model provides an emergency unlocking device 100 for a cover lock, applicable to a garment processing device 200 equipped with a cover lock 201. The garment processing device 200 has a housing 202 for concealing its internal structure. The cover lock 201 is located inside the housing 202 of the garment processing device 200 and can store and fix the cover 204 to a cover receiving portion 203 on the body (not shown) of the garment processing device 200. The emergency unlocking device 100 for the cover lock includes a bracket 110 and an unlocking wiring harness 120.

[0036] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the outer side of the box 202 in the embodiment of this utility model. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the front structure (outer side) of the bracket 110 in this embodiment of the utility model. Combined with... Figure 1 And refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 1 The bracket 110 is the angle seen from the inside of the housing 202. Figure 4 The bracket 110 is positioned below and embedded inside the housing 202, vertically aligned with the cover lock 201. It is visible from the front of the housing 202 (i.e., the outside of the housing 202). The bracket 110 has an opening 111 visible from the front of the housing 202. An unlocking harness 120 is located inside the bracket 110, with one end connected to the cover lock 201 and the other end connected to the inside of the bracket 110. The unlocking harness 120 protrudes outward through the opening 111; only the portion of the unlocking harness 120 overlapping with the opening 111 is visible from the front of the garment handling equipment 200. The cover lock 201 can be unlocked by inserting it into the opening 111 and pulling the unlocking harness 120.

[0037] By employing the above method, the unlocking harness 120 is designed to be exposed only through the opening 111. Operators must insert their fingers into the opening 111 from the front of the garment processing equipment 200 to pull the unlocking harness 120 and unlock the lid lock 201. This prevents accidental activation of the unlocking harness 120 during equipment operation, ensuring high reliability and low maintenance costs. Furthermore, when viewed from the front of the garment processing equipment 200, the emergency unlocking device 100 for the lid lock only retains the opening 111, preserving the product's design and reducing visual discontinuity.

[0038] In other embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the emergency unlocking device 100 for the hood lock may also include a buckle 130 disposed inside the bracket 110, through which the unlocking harness 120 passes and is limited.

[0039] The following describes each part of the emergency unlocking device 100 for the hood lock.

[0040] <Standard 110>

[0041] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the reverse side (inner side) of the bracket 110 in this embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The angle seen from the inside of the housing 202 shows that the bracket 110 is generally rectangular, and the opening 111 has a size of 3-5mm along the direction of the unlocking harness 120.

[0042] By employing the above method, the opening 111 is relatively small, meaning that most of the unlocking harness 120 is attached to the inside of the housing 202 and is not visible from the front of the clothing processing device 200. Only the portion overlapping with the opening 111 is exposed. The exposed portion is small, requiring operators to use tools to reach in and pull the unlocking harness 120. This further reduces the risk of the unlocking harness 120 being accidentally touched during device operation, preventing children from inserting their fingers into the opening 111 and accidentally triggering the emergency unlocking function, thus avoiding safety accidents.

[0043] Specifically, the buckle 130 and the bracket 110 can be designed as a single piece. This facilitates manufacturing and molding, and improves the overall structural strength of the bracket 110.

[0044] <Unlock wire harness 120>

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the unlocking harness 120 is a retractable harness. One end of the unlocking harness 120 is connected to the cover lock 201, and the other end is fixed to the bracket 110. Through the opening 111 on the bracket 110, the operator uses a tool (e.g., toothpick, hook, etc.) to pull the unlocking harness 120 from the front of the garment handling equipment 200. The unlocking harness 120 extends outward from the opening 111, causing the end connected to the cover lock 201 to slide, thereby unlocking the cover lock 201.

[0046] <Snap-on 130 - First Embodiment>

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the buckle 130 and the opening 111 are located in the same plane perpendicular to the bracket 110. The first end of the buckle 130 is fixed to the bracket 110, and the second end of the buckle 130 includes a first bending member 131 and a second bending member 132. The first bending member 131 is connected to the first end of the buckle 130 and bends along the direction close to the bracket 110 to limit the unlocking harness 120. The second bending member 132 is connected to the first bending member 131 and bends along the direction away from the bracket 110 to allow the unlocking harness 120 to slide into the buckle 130. That is, the first end of the buckle 130, the first bending member 131, and the second bending member 132 are arranged sequentially.

[0048] In the above manner, the unlocking harness 120 slides in from the second bending member 132. The first end of the buckle 130 and the first bending member 131 restrict the unlocking harness 120 between the bracket 110 and the buckle 130. That is, the buckle 130 with the bending structure limits the unlocking harness 120, ensuring that the unlocking harness 120 extends along the inner side of the fitting box 202, which is beneficial to improving the structural stability.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 5 The connection between the first bent piece 131 and the second bent piece 132 is embedded in the opening 111.

[0050] By means of the above, the second end of the buckle 130 is limited, further preventing the unlocking harness 120 from coming off the first bent piece 131 and / or the second bent piece 132.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the angle between the second bent piece 132 and the opening 111 is smaller than the angle between the first bent piece 131 and the opening 111.

[0052] In this way, the included angle of the second bent piece 132 at the end is small, which makes it easier for the unlocking harness 120 to slide into the buckle 130 and be limited by the buckle 130.

[0053] <Snap-on 130 - Second Embodiment>

[0054] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first fastener 133 and the second fastener 134 in an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the latch 130 includes a first latching member 133 and a second latching member 134 disposed opposite to each other along the extending direction of the unlocking harness 120. The first latching member 133 and the second latching member 134 are respectively disposed on both sides of the opening 111, that is... Figure 6The first latch 133 shown is close to the upper edge of the opening 111, and the second latch 133 is close to the lower edge of the opening 111. The first latch 133 is provided with a first opening, and the second latch 134 is provided with a second opening. The first opening and the second opening are used for the unlocking harness 120 to pass through.

[0055] In the above manner, the two locking parts (i.e., the first locking part 133 and the second locking part 134) are positioned opposite each other, which can fix the unlocking harness 120 in the middle position of the two locking parts, i.e., the two openings, so that it can be pulled by external force.

[0056] Continue to refer to Figure 6 The first fastener 133 is provided with a first fixed end (e.g., Figure 6 The first fixing end is located on the left side of the unlocking harness 120, and the second buckle 134 is provided with a second fixing end (such as...). Figure 6 The second fixed end is located on the right side of the unlocking harness 120, and the first fixed end and the second fixed end are located on both sides of the unlocking harness 120, respectively.

[0057] The above methods facilitate the limiting of the unlocking harness 120, preventing the unlocking harness 120 from coming out.

[0058] <Clothing Processing Equipment 200>

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second aspect of this utility model provides a garment processing device 200, which has the above-mentioned emergency unlocking device 100 for the machine cover lock.

[0060] By using the above methods, the risk of the emergency unlocking device being accidentally activated can be reduced when the clothing processing equipment 200 is washing clothes.

[0061] <Hood Lock 201>

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the garment processing equipment 200 includes a cover lock 201 disposed inside the housing 202 of the garment processing equipment 200, and an emergency unlocking device 100 for the cover lock is disposed inside the housing 202 for unlocking the cover lock 201.

[0063] The working process of the emergency unlocking device 100 for the hood lock is described below, taking the buckle 130 of the first embodiment as an example.

[0064] During assembly, the two ends of the unlocking harness 120 are connected to the bracket 110 and the cover lock 201 inside the housing 202, respectively. Pulling the unlocking harness 120 causes it to slide into the second bent piece 132 of the buckle 130. The first end of the buckle 130 and the first bent piece 131 restrict the unlocking harness 120 between the bracket 110 and the buckle 130, and the buckle 130 limits the unlocking harness 120.

[0065] When an emergency unlocking is required, the operator uses a tool (e.g., toothpick, hook, etc.) to reach into the opening 111 from the front of the garment processing equipment 200, i.e., the front of the housing 202, and pulls the unlocking harness 120. The unlocking harness 120 extends outward from the opening 111, causing the end connected to the cover lock 201 to slide, thereby unlocking the cover lock 201.

[0066] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
