Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of clothing processing devices, and in particular to the stacking bracket of a combined clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In a home setting, when two garment processing units are present, they can be stacked to save floor space and make the best use of available space. Generally, the smaller unit is placed on top of the larger one. However, when the upper unit is running, vibrations may cause it to slip, potentially leading to tilting or even falling.

[0003] To avoid such situations, stacking brackets are typically used in homes to securely hold two stacked garment processing units together. Additionally, commercial laundries and other locations may also require the stacking of two garment processing units. The stacking bracket is installed between the two garment processing units, connecting and securing the upper unit, as specifically described in prior art publication CN116607300A, entitled "A Stacking Bracket and Stacked Garment Processing Equipment".

[0004] Furthermore, in order to further improve the practicality of the stacking bracket, another improvement to the stacking bracket has emerged in the prior art, such as the "a stacking bracket" mentioned in prior art publication number CN109208272B, which specifically includes a frame, a panel and a handle. The frame includes brackets located on the left and right sides, and the side walls of the brackets are provided with slide rails. The left and right side walls of the panel are provided with sliding parts that can slide relative to the slide rails.

[0005] When in use, users can pull the panel out of the frame to place items and realize the function of carrying things; when not in use, the panel can be pushed back into the frame. This structural design enables the stacking rack to not only fix the upper and lower clothing processing equipment, but also to carry things.

[0006] However, this structure is too limited in its usage and cannot meet the needs of customers, so it still needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stacking bracket for a combined garment processing device, thereby solving the problem of limited usage options.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a stacking support for a combined garment processing device, disposed between the upper and lower parts of the combined garment processing device, the stacking support comprising:

[0009] A fixing unit, used for support between the upper and lower equipment;

[0010] The movable unit is slidably connected to the fixed unit, and switches between a storage state embedded in the fixed unit and a usage state of forming a loading platform by translating;

[0011] The movable unit includes a first loading plate and a second loading plate that are pivotally connected. The usage states of the movable unit include:

[0012] In the first usage state, the first carrier plate and the second carrier plate are arranged to extend along the first direction, which is the direction in which the movable unit extends out of the fixed unit.

[0013] In the second usage state, the second carrier plate is flipped and locked to a second direction that intersects with the first direction, and the second carrier plate is connected at an angle to the first carrier plate extending in the first direction.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages: the stacking bracket is set between the upper and lower equipment of the combined garment processing equipment. The fixing unit of the stacking bracket enables a fixed connection between the upper and lower equipment, which enhances the stability of the upper and lower equipment after stacking, prevents the upper equipment from shaking and tipping over due to external forces, vibrations, etc., and ensures the stability of the combined garment processing equipment in the stacked state.

[0015] The movable unit is slidably connected to the fixed unit, allowing it to switch between a stowed state (embedded in the fixed unit) and a working state (extending out to form a carrying platform), making its use more flexible. In the stowed state, the movable unit can be embedded in the fixed unit without occupying space outside the stacking rack, making the rack structure more compact and improving space utilization. In the working state, the movable unit extends out to form a carrying platform, providing an additional platform for the modular garment processing equipment, facilitating user operation and enhancing the practicality and convenience of the stacking rack.

[0016] Furthermore, in the first usage state, the first and second loading plates extend and translate out of the fixed frame along the first direction. At this time, the first and second loading plates form a loading plane, where users can place items in the loading space or iron clothes on the loading plane, thus meeting the diverse needs of users.

[0017] In the second usage state, when the second shelf is flipped upwards, the vertical height of the movable unit is increased, allowing longer garments to be hung on the second shelf, effectively preventing them from dragging on the ground. When the second shelf is flipped downwards, the movable unit also functions as a place to put items. Moreover, in a space-constrained environment, the downward-bending second shelf prevents the movable unit from occupying space in the first direction in the second usage state, improving space utilization. Items can then be placed on the first shelf, increasing the flexibility of the movable unit's use.

[0018] Furthermore, the second carrier plate has a second carrier surface and a support surface facing away from the second carrier surface. In the second use state, the second carrier plate is flipped upward so that its support surface faces outward to form a clothing support surface.

[0019] Using the aforementioned technical solution, the second carrying surface can be used to place items in the first use state. In the second use state, by flipping the second carrying plate upward so that its supporting surface faces outward, the supporting surface forms a clothing supporting surface. Clothes can be hung on the flipped second carrying plate, so that the clothing supporting surface supports the clothes. Moreover, the second carrying plate located in the second direction has an increased vertical height compared to the first carrying plate located in the first direction, thus increasing the height of the clothes when hanging and avoiding the situation where long clothes drag on the ground when hung on the second carrying plate, thereby improving the applicability of the movable unit.

[0020] Furthermore, in the first usage state, the first carrier plate supports the second carrier plate along the first direction, and the supporting parts of the two are lower than their pivot axes.

[0021] Using the aforementioned technical solution, since the second carrier plate is pivotally connected to the first carrier plate, when items are placed on the second carrier plate or when clothes are being ironed, the overall weight will cause the second carrier plate to tend to rotate downwards around the pivot axis. At this time, the weight of the second carrier plate will cause tension on the pivot point. Therefore, the pivot connection between the first and second carrier plates alone cannot firmly support the weight of the second carrier plate, and under long-term use, the pivot point is prone to deformation or damage. Therefore, to enhance the structural stability of the movable unit in the first usage state, the first carrier plate supports the second carrier plate along the first direction. This resists the downward rotation tendency of the second carrier plate, distributes the load-bearing pressure at the pivot point, makes the force on the pivot point more even, reduces the concentrated stress at the pivot point, and improves the reliability of the movable unit during use.

[0022] Furthermore, the second loading plate is rotated from the first direction to the second direction at an angle greater than or equal to 90°, and a support member is provided at the end of the first loading plate near the second loading plate, the support member supporting the second loading plate extending in the second direction.

[0023] Using the aforementioned technical solution, if the flipping angle of the second carrier plate is too small when handling clothes, the clothes will drag on the ground during the hanging process. Therefore, when the second carrier plate is flipped to an angle of 90° or greater in the second direction, the second carrier plate forms a clothing support surface with a certain height relative to the first carrier plate. This clothing support surface can support the hung clothes and optimize the problem of clothes dragging on the ground.

[0024] In the second usage state, the support member provides support for the second carrier plate, which can be used to resist the tendency of the second carrier plate to rotate downward due to the weight of the clothes, thereby firmly fixing the second carrier plate in the flipped position, ensuring the stability of the movable unit during use, and improving the reliability of the movable unit during use.

[0025] Furthermore, the second carrier plate has hooks that protrude from the plane of the support surface.

[0026] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution and adding hooks, users can conveniently hang clothes on the second carrier plate. The hooks protrude from the plane of the support surface, which creates a certain gap between the two when the clothes are hung on the second carrier plate, preventing the clothes from slipping off the hooks when subjected to external force, thus ensuring the stability of the clothes hanging.

[0027] Furthermore, the hook is configured as one of a rotating hook, a folding hook, or a telescopic hook.

[0028] Furthermore, a first connector is provided on the end of the first carrier plate near the second carrier plate, and the first connector is provided with a first connecting hole. A second connector is provided on the end of the second carrier plate near the first carrier plate, and the second connector is provided with a second connecting hole. When the second carrier plate is flipped to the second direction, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are coaxially aligned and are locked by a movable pin.

[0029] Furthermore, the first connector and the second connector are pivotally connected, with the pivot axis of the second connector and the pivot axis of the second carrier plate located on the same straight line, and the pivot axis being parallel to the axis of the movable pin.

[0030] Using the aforementioned technical solution, when the second carrier plate is flipped to the second direction, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole need to be coaxially aligned so that the movable pin can pass through both the first and second connecting members simultaneously, thereby locking the second carrier plate. The pivot axis of the second connecting member is on the same straight line as the pivot axis of the second carrier plate. Thus, during the flipping process of the second carrier plate, the second connecting member will rotate around the pivot axis along with the second carrier plate. When the second carrier plate is flipped to the second direction, since the pivot axis of the second connecting member is coaxial with the pivot axis of the second carrier plate, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole can be coaxially aligned, facilitating the insertion of the movable pin.

[0031] Furthermore, the pivot axis is set parallel to the axis of the movable pin. When the movable pin is inserted into the coaxially aligned first and second connecting holes, it restricts the relative rotation between the first and second connecting members. This is because when the movable pin is inserted into the first and second connecting holes, since the pivot axis is parallel to the axis of the movable pin, the axial direction of the movable pin is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the second connecting member. The movable pin forms a rigid stop, thus preventing the second carrier plate from rotating along the pivot axis, thereby locking the second carrier plate and ensuring the structural stability and reliability of the movable unit in the second use state.

[0032] Furthermore, the second carrier plate includes a base plate, a handle, and a telescopic unit connected to the two. The base plate is pivotally connected to the first carrier plate, and the length of the second carrier plate is adjusted by the extension and retraction of the telescopic unit.

[0033] Furthermore, the telescopic unit includes a first support rod connected to the handle portion, a second support rod connected to the base plate portion, and a locking device. The first support rod and the second support rod are slidably sleeved together, and the locking device can be operatively locked or released from the first support rod.

[0034] Furthermore, the locking device includes a slider and a latch, with a plurality of locking holes spaced apart along its axial direction on the first rod, the latch being configured to move along the axial direction of the locking holes, one end of the latch being selectively inserted into one of the locking holes to lock the first rod, and the other end of the latch being axially stopped by the slider to remain locked.

[0035] Furthermore, the base plate has a guide bracket for mounting the latch and the slider. The guide bracket is provided with a first elastic element and a second elastic element. The first elastic element pushes the latch toward the lock hole, and the second elastic element pushes the latch away from the lock hole. The end of the latch that is inserted into the lock hole is configured as a tapered guide end. The guide end is pushed out of the lock hole by the axial pushing force of the first support rod.

[0036] Using the aforementioned technical solution, when handling clothing, since the sizes and lengths of clothing vary, if the length of the second carrier plate is fixed, then when hanging longer clothing on the second carrier plate, the clothing may drag on the ground. Therefore, in order to meet the requirement of adjustable length of the second carrier plate, a telescopic unit is provided. The telescopic unit connects the base plate and the handle, wherein the first support rod and the second support rod are slidably connected. When the user needs to adjust the length of the second carrier plate, the length of the telescopic unit is changed by sliding the first support rod and the second support rod relative to each other, thereby changing the overall length of the second carrier plate to accommodate clothing of different lengths.

[0037] The base plate is pivotally connected to the first carrier plate. When the movable unit is in the first use state, the base plate and the first carrier plate together form a carrying platform for placing items. When the movable unit is in the second use state, the base plate provides support for clothing hung on the second carrier plate, facilitating garment ironing by the user.

[0038] The handle not only makes it convenient for users to lift the second cargo tray, but also allows the first and second support rods to slide relative to each other when the user needs to adjust the height of the second cargo tray via the telescopic unit. This makes the entire height adjustment process more convenient and improves the user experience.

[0039] The locking device includes a slider and a latch. When the user needs to adjust the length of the second carrier plate, the first support rod is released by operating the locking device. At this time, the latch is disengaged from the lock hole, and the first and second support rods can slide relative to each other. The user can slide the first support rod into the second support rod to a suitable position according to actual needs, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the length of the second carrier plate to accommodate different clothing sizes.

[0040] Furthermore, after the user adjusts the length of the second support plate to a suitable position, the locking device locks the first support rod. One end of the latch can be selectively inserted into one of the lock holes to lock the first support rod, while the other end of the latch is axially stopped by the slider to remain locked. In this way, the first and second support rods are relatively fixed, and the length of the second support plate is also fixed. When the user hangs clothes on the second support plate, the second support plate can maintain a stable structure and will not change length due to the weight of the clothes or external forces, ensuring the stability of the movable bracket and allowing the clothes to be hung stably on the second support plate, facilitating the user's ironing operation.

[0041] In summary, the second carrying plate achieves length adjustment through the telescopic unit and locking device, which not only meets the hanging needs of clothes of different sizes, but also ensures stability during use.

[0042] Furthermore, at least two elastic latches are provided at intervals along the sliding path of the slider on the guide bracket to lock the slider position.

[0043] Using the aforementioned technical solution, the elastic buckle can undergo elastic deformation. When the slider slides to the position of the elastic buckle, the elastic buckle can deform, allowing the slider to pass. After the slider passes, the elastic buckle returns to its original state, at which point the elastic buckle will hinder the sliding of the slider, thereby locking the position of the slider. This effectively prevents the slider from moving accidentally during the use of the second carrier plate in the second usage state. Even when clothes are hung on the second carrier plate, the slider cannot be disengaged from the locking of the elastic buckle, thus ensuring the relative fixation of the first and second support rods, enhancing the stability of the second carrier plate during use, and ensuring that clothes can be stably hung on the second carrier plate.

[0044] Furthermore, in the stowed state, the first and second load plates extend along the first direction and are arranged or stacked.

[0045] Using the aforementioned technical solution, when the space for placing the combined clothing processing equipment is sufficient and the lower equipment is large, the active unit adopts a storage form in which the first and second carrying plates extend along the first direction. This storage form facilitates the unfolding of the first and second carrying plates in use, making user operation more convenient. When the space for placing the combined clothing processing equipment is limited, the active unit can adopt a storage form in which the first and second carrying plates are stacked. By stacking the first and second carrying plates in the vertical direction, the space occupied by the active unit in the horizontal direction is reduced, making the structure of the entire stacking bracket more compact.

[0046] Furthermore, the combined garment processing equipment includes a lower unit and an upper unit stacked on the lower unit, and also includes the aforementioned stacking bracket, with the lower unit and the upper unit stacked together via the stacking bracket. Attached Figure Description

[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0062] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be selected to be combined or substituted with each other according to the actual situation, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a stacking bracket for a combined garment processing device, disposed between the upper and lower devices 400 of the combined garment processing device. The stacking bracket includes:

[0064] A fixing unit 100 is used for support between the upper device and the lower device 400;

[0065] The active unit 200 is slidably connected to the fixed unit 100, and switches between a storage state embedded in the fixed unit 100 and a usage state of forming a loading platform by translating.

[0066] The movable unit 200 includes a first carrier plate 210 and a second carrier plate 220 pivotally connected. The usage states of the movable unit 200 include:

[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in the first usage state, the first carrier plate 210 and the second carrier plate 220 are arranged extending along the first direction, which is the direction in which the movable unit 200 extends out of the fixed unit 100.

[0068] like Figures 5 to 12As shown, in the second usage state, the second carrier plate 220 is flipped and locked to a second direction that intersects with the first direction, and the second carrier plate 220 is connected at an angle to the first carrier plate 210 extending in the first direction.

[0069] For ease of description of the embodiments, the left-right direction of the lower device 400 is defined as the length direction and is called the X-axis direction; the front-back direction of the lower device 400 is defined as the width direction and is called the Z-axis direction; the up-down direction of the lower device 400 is defined as the height direction and is called the Y-axis direction. This direction definition also applies to the description of other components in this disclosure.

[0070] Therefore, it needs to be explained that in this embodiment, the first direction refers to the direction in which the movable unit 200 extends out of the fixed unit 100 along the +Z axis; the pivot axis O1 of the second carrier plate 220 is along the X-axis and perpendicular to the first direction.

[0071] Understandably, the stacking bracket is positioned between the upper and lower devices 400 of the combined garment processing equipment. The fixing unit 100 of the stacking bracket enables a fixed connection between the upper and lower devices 400, enhancing the stability of the upper and lower devices 400 after stacking. This prevents the upper device from shaking and tipping over due to external forces or vibrations, ensuring the stability of the combined garment processing equipment in the stacked state.

[0072] The movable unit 200 is slidably connected to the fixed unit 100, and can be switched between a stowed state (embedded in the fixed unit 100) and a working state (extending out of the fixed unit 100 to form a carrying platform), making the use of the movable unit 200 more flexible. In the stowed state, the movable unit 200 can be embedded in the fixed unit 100 without occupying space outside the stacking bracket, making the structure of the stacking bracket more compact and improving the space utilization rate of the stacking bracket. In the working state, the movable unit 200 extends out of the fixed unit 100 to form a carrying platform, providing additional carrying space for the modular clothing processing equipment, facilitating user operation, and improving the practicality and convenience of the stacking bracket.

[0073] Furthermore, in the first usage state, the first loading plate 210 and the second loading plate 220 extend and translate out of the fixing frame along the first direction. At this time, the first loading plate 210 and the second loading plate 220 form a loading platform. Users can place items on the loading platform or iron clothes on the loading platform, thus meeting the diverse needs of users.

[0074] In its second usage state, the second loading platform 220 flips at an angle to function as an ironing board or clothes rack. This design effectively utilizes the vertical space between the equipment. Traditional solutions might require additional clothes racks or ironing boards, but this movable unit 200 integrates these functions, reducing the need for users to purchase and store additional furniture. Furthermore, the horizontally unfolded loading platform can temporarily hold clothes to be folded, improving the overall efficiency of the laundry area.

[0075] When the second shelf 220 is flipped upwards, the vertical height of the movable unit 200 is increased, allowing longer garments to be hung on the second shelf 220, effectively preventing them from dragging on the ground. When the second shelf 220 is flipped downwards, the movable unit 200 also functions as a place to put items. Moreover, in a space-constrained environment, the downward-bending second shelf 220 prevents the movable unit 200 from occupying space in the first direction during the second use state, improving space utilization. At this time, items can be placed on the first shelf 210, increasing the flexibility of the movable unit 200.

[0076] It should be noted that the stacking bracket of the modular laundry handling equipment is mainly used to fix the upper equipment and the lower equipment 400 together. This type of modular laundry handling equipment can be used in homes, where the lower equipment 400 is generally a washing machine and the upper equipment is generally a dryer; or both the lower equipment 400 and the upper equipment are washing machines. This type of modular laundry handling equipment can also be used in commercial laundry, where both the lower equipment 400 and the upper equipment are generally washing machines, or both are dry cleaning machines. The above examples illustrate several common combinations of the lower equipment 400 and the upper equipment for illustrative purposes, but in actual use, the combinations are not limited to those described above.

[0077] In addition, in this embodiment, the stacking bracket is a separate structure that needs to be fixed to the top plate of the lower device 400 by means of adhesive, screws or clips, and then the upper device is installed on the stacking bracket to fix the upper device and the lower device 400.

[0078] The advantage of this implementation method is that it can be adapted to different brands and models of garment processing equipment, and users can adjust the use of the stacking racks or disassemble them as needed, making it more flexible.

[0079] However, in other embodiments, the stacking bracket can also serve as the top plate of the lower device 400, and be directly integrated with the lower device 400.

[0080] The advantage of this implementation is that users can place the upper garment processing device directly on the top plate of the lower device 400 without any additional installation steps, and since the stacking bracket is integrated with the lower device 400 as the top plate of the lower device 400, it has better stability.

[0081] In summary, the stacking brackets mainly serve to fix the lower equipment 400 and the upper equipment, but the actual installation is not limited to the two forms mentioned above.

[0082] It should be explained that, in this embodiment, the lower device 400 is a washing machine as an example. The top plate of the washing machine is rectangular, and the fixing unit 100 of the stacking bracket is specifically a rectangular frame 110 that cooperates with the top plate of the washing machine. The rectangular frame 110 has a hollowed-out center to reduce the overall weight of the rectangular frame 110. The three sides of the frame are fixedly connected to the top plate of the washing machine by means of adhesive, screws, or buckles. The rectangular frame 110 has an opening facing the washing machine in the +Z axis direction, and the movable unit 200 slides into or out of the rectangular frame 110 along the Z axis direction.

[0083] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the rectangular frame 110 may also open toward the +X axis direction, so that the movable unit 200 slides into or out of the rectangular frame 110 along the X axis direction.

[0084] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the rectangular frame 110 may also open toward the -X axis direction, allowing the movable unit 200 to slide into or out of the rectangular frame 110 along the X axis direction.

[0085] To ensure the stability of the rectangular frame 110, a connecting plate 111 is provided at the bottom of the rectangular frame 110. The connecting plate 111 is connected to the two opposite sides of the rectangular frame 110 to reduce the possibility of deformation of the rectangular frame 110.

[0086] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rectangular frame 110 and the connecting plate 111 are preferably integrally molded, which further ensures the stability of the rectangular frame 110 in use. Specifically, the material is a hard plastic structure, such as high-strength, high-toughness, and impact-resistant ABS material. It can also be a metal material, such as stainless steel.

[0087] Of course, in other embodiments, the rectangular frame 110 can also be stabilized by adding a base plate.

[0088] Specifically, the rectangular frame 110 is provided with first slide rails 112 on opposite sides. The first slide rails 112 are fixed to the inner side of the rectangular frame 110 by several screws. The movable unit 200 is provided with two second slide rails 230 that slide relative to the first slide rails 112. The second slide rails 230 slide along the first slide rails 112 so that the movable unit 200 can switch between a storage state embedded in the rectangular frame 110 and a usage state of extending out of the rectangular frame 110 to form a loading platform.

[0089] It should be explained that the active unit 200 forms a loading platform when the frame is extended. In fact, the loading platform here refers to the active unit 200. However, specifically, the active unit 200 includes a first loading plate 210 and a second loading plate 220, and the first loading plate 210 and the second loading plate 220 are the actual platforms used to place items.

[0090] In practical use, the first tray 210 and the second tray 220 can not only place commonly used items such as clothes, laundry detergent or basins according to the user's usage habits for easy access, but can also be used to lay clothes flat on the first tray 210 and the second tray 220 for ironing.

[0091] To ensure that the first loading plate 210 and the second loading plate 220 can flip over each other, the second slide rail 230 mentioned above includes a first slide rail section 231 and a second slide rail section 232. The first loading plate 210 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the first slide rail section 231 by screws; the second loading plate 220 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the second slide rail section 232 by screws.

[0092] This structural arrangement allows the movable unit 200 to be housed in the fixed unit 100 via the second slide rail 230, and also allows the first carrier plate 210 and the second carrier plate 220 to be fixedly installed on the movable unit 200 via the first slide rail segment 231 and the second slide rail segment 232.

[0093] The aforementioned extended arrangement refers to the fact that the first loading plate 210 and the second loading plate 220 can form a continuous or discontinuous loading platform in the form of flat, stepped, or partially overlapping.

[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first loading plate 210 and the second loading plate 220 are pivotally connected. Preferably, the first loading plate 210 and the second loading plate 220 are laid flat in the first use state, with the fixing unit 100 extending along the +Z axis and the two being on the same straight line, so that the loading platform has a flatter appearance and the items are placed more stably.

[0095] However, due to the influence of manufacturing precision or usage conditions, a certain angular error is allowed between the first carrier plate 210 and the second carrier plate 220 in the first usage state.

[0096] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the above example illustrates a preferred extended arrangement of the first carrier plate 210 and the second carrier plate 220 in this embodiment. However, in other embodiments, the first carrier plate and the second carrier plate may also be presented in a stepped direction, as follows:

[0097] The first loading plate 210 and the second loading plate 220 extend from the fixing unit 100 along the +Z axis in the first use state, and there is a certain height difference between them. For example, the first loading plate 210 is above the second loading plate 220 to form a stepped platform. The advantage of this setting is that it can be used to place different types of items in layers.

[0098] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second carrier plate 220 has a second carrier surface 221 and a support surface 222 facing away from the second carrier surface 221. In the second use state, the second carrier plate 220 is flipped upward so that its support surface 222 faces outward to form a clothing support surface.

[0099] The second carrying surface 221 can be used to place items in the first use state. In the second use state, by flipping the second carrying plate 220 upward so that its supporting surface 222 faces outward, the supporting surface 222 forms a clothing supporting surface. Clothes can be hung on the flipped second carrying plate 220, so that the clothing supporting surface supports the clothes. Moreover, the second carrying plate 220 located in the second direction has an increased vertical height compared to the first carrying plate 210 located in the first direction. Therefore, the height of the clothes when hanging is increased, avoiding the situation where long clothes drag on the ground when hung on the second carrying plate 220, and improving the applicability of the movable unit 200.

[0100] In order to ensure the structural stability of the second carrier plate 220 in the first use state and to prevent interference during the upward flipping of the second carrier plate 220, the first carrier plate 210 supports the second carrier plate 220 along the first direction, and the supporting parts of the two are lower than their pivot axis O1.

[0101] Because the second carrier plate 220 is pivotally connected to the first carrier plate 210, when items are placed on the second carrier plate 220 or when clothes are being ironed, the overall weight causes the second carrier plate 220 to tend to rotate downwards around the pivot axis. At this time, the weight of the second carrier plate 220 will cause tension on the pivot point. Therefore, the pivot connection between the first carrier plate 210 and the second carrier plate 220 alone cannot firmly support the weight of the second carrier plate 220. Under long-term use, the pivot point is prone to deformation or damage. Therefore, to enhance the structural stability of the movable unit 200 in its first operating state, the first carrier plate 210 supports the second carrier plate 220 along a first direction. This resists the downward rotation tendency of the second carrier plate 220, distributes the load-bearing pressure on the pivot point, makes the force on the pivot point more even, reduces concentrated stress at the pivot point, and improves the reliability of the movable unit 200 during use.

[0102] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, preferably, the lower end of the first slide rail segment 231 near the second carrier plate 220 is bent downward to form a first support portion 231a, and the lower end of the second slide rail 230 near the position of the first carrier plate 210 is bent downward to form a second support portion 232a. In the first use state, the second support portion 232a is supported by the first support portion 231a to restrict the downward flipping of the second carrier plate 220 in the first use state.

[0103] Alternatively, another implementation is provided in which the lower end of the second slide rail segment 232 near the position of the first carrier plate 210 is directly supported on the lower end of the first slide rail segment 231 near the position of the second carrier plate 220, which can also restrict the downward flipping of the second carrier plate 220 in the first use state.

[0104] Alternatively, another implementation is provided in which the lower end of the first slide rail segment 231 near the position of the second carrier plate 220 extends in a first direction to form a support segment, and when the second carrier plate 220 is in a first use state, the bottom surface of the second slide rail segment 232 abuts against the support segment.

[0105] The above examples illustrate three implementation methods, all of which use the second slide rail 230 itself to support the first carrier plate 210 and the second carrier plate 220. The advantage of this arrangement is that it eliminates the need for additional parts, reducing manufacturing costs and simplifying the installation process, making the overall structure more compact.

[0106] In summary, the support of the first loading plate 210 for the second loading plate 220 is not limited to the position of the second slide rail 230, but can also be supported between the first loading plate 210 and the second loading plate 220. Regardless of the position and structure of the support, the purpose is to enable the first loading plate 210 to support the second loading plate 220, so that the second loading plate 220 can maintain structural stability in the first use state.

[0107] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, based on the above, the second carrier plate 220 is flipped from the first direction to the second direction at an angle greater than 90°. A support member 231b is provided on the end of the first carrier plate 210 near the second carrier plate 220. The support member 231b supports the second carrier plate 220 extending in the second direction.

[0108] When handling clothes, if the rotation angle of the second carrier plate 220 is too small, the clothes will drag on the ground during the hanging process. Therefore, when the second carrier plate 220 is rotated to an angle of 90° or greater in the second direction, the second carrier plate 220 forms a clothing support surface with a certain height relative to the first carrier plate 210. This clothing support surface can support the hanging clothes, so that the clothes can be close to the support surface 222, making it convenient for users to hang and iron clothes.

[0109] In the second usage state, the support member 231b provides support for the second carrier plate 220, which can be used to resist the tendency of the second carrier plate 220 to rotate downward due to the weight of the clothes, thereby firmly fixing the second carrier plate 220 in the flipped position, ensuring the stability of the movable unit 200 during use, and improving the reliability of the movable unit 200 during use.

[0110] It should be noted that, in the second usage state, in order to make the clothes hang better on the second carrier plate 220, the second carrier plate 220 can be flipped upward to 90°. The second carrier plate 220 is in a vertical state compared to the first carrier plate 210, and has better stability.

[0111] In this embodiment, it is more preferable that the upward flip angle of the second carrier plate 220 is greater than 90°, so that the center of gravity of the flipped second carrier plate 220 is shifted backward, and the first carrier plate 210 supports the second carrier plate 220 to share part of the weight.

[0112] Furthermore, the support member 231b is formed by bending the upper end of the first slide rail segment 231 near the second carrier plate 220 upwards.

[0113] Similarly, the support for the second carrier plate 220 is not limited to the upward bending of the first slide rail section 231. Regardless of the position and structure of the support, the purpose is to support the second carrier plate 220 to maintain stability in the second use state.

[0114] It should be noted that the first support part 231a and the support member 231b mentioned above are each provided in pairs, preferably on opposite sides of the first carrying plate 210 near the end of the second carrying plate 220; the second support part 232a is also provided in pairs, preferably on opposite sides of the second carrying plate 220 near the end of the first carrying plate 210.

[0115] In addition, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second carrier plate 220 has a hook 223, which protrudes from the plane of the support surface 222. The addition of the hook 223 makes it convenient for users to hang clothes on the second carrier plate 220. The hook 223 protruding from the plane of the support surface 222 facilitates hanging clothes on the second carrier plate 220 and prevents clothes from slipping off the hook 223 when subjected to external force, thus ensuring the stability of the hanging clothes.

[0116] In this embodiment, a rotary hook 223 is preferred. In other embodiments, it can also be a folding hook 223 or a telescopic hook 223.

[0117] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, this embodiment provides a preferred locking solution. A first connector 211 is provided on the end of the first carrier plate 210 near the second carrier plate 220. The first connector 211 has a first connecting hole 212. A second connector 224 is provided on the end of the second carrier plate 220 near the first carrier plate 210. The second connector 224 has a second connecting hole 225. When the second carrier plate 220 is flipped to the second direction, the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 225 are coaxially aligned and are penetrated by the movable pin 226 to lock the second carrier plate 220.

[0118] It is also worth mentioning that when the second carrier plate 220 is just abutting against the support member 231b, the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 225 are just coaxial. Therefore, the support member 231b not only supports the second carrier plate 220, but also plays an auxiliary positioning role.

[0119] Specifically, the support member 231b limits the maximum flipping angle of the second carrier plate 220 and provides sufficient support for the second carrier plate 220 in the second direction. When the second carrier plate 220 flips to the maximum angle, the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 225 are coaxial, and the movable pin 226 passes through them to lock the second carrier plate 220. This process usually does not require the user to observe the alignment of the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 225. The position of the second carrier plate 220 supported by the support member 231b in the second direction is the position where the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 225 are coaxially aligned, which improves the convenience of operation.

[0120] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, the first connector 211 and the second connector 224 are pivotally connected. The pivot axis O2 of the second connector 224 is on the same straight line as the pivot axis O1 of the second carrier plate 220. The pivot axis O1 is parallel to the axis O3 of the movable pin 226.

[0121] Therefore, when the second carrier plate 220 is flipped to the second direction, the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 225 need to be coaxially aligned so that the movable pin 226 can pass through the first connector 211 and the second connector 224 simultaneously, thereby locking the second carrier plate 220. The pivot axis of the second connector 224 is on the same straight line as the pivot axis of the second carrier plate 220. Thus, during the flipping process of the second carrier plate 220, the second connector 224 will rotate around the pivot axis along with the second carrier plate 220. When the second carrier plate 220 is flipped to the second direction, since the pivot axis of the second connector 224 is coaxial with the pivot axis of the second carrier plate 220, the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 225 can be coaxially aligned, facilitating the insertion of the movable pin 226.

[0122] Furthermore, the pivot axis is set parallel to the axis of the movable pin 226. When the movable pin 226 is inserted into the coaxially aligned first connecting hole 212 and second connecting hole 225, it restricts the relative rotation between the first connecting member 211 and the second connecting member 224. This is because when the movable pin 226 is inserted into the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 225, since the pivot axis is parallel to the axis of the movable pin 226, the axial direction of the movable pin 226 is perpendicular to the rotation plane of the second connecting member 224. The movable pin 226 forms a rigid stop, thus preventing the second carrier plate 220 from rotating along the pivot axis, thereby locking the second carrier plate 220 and ensuring the structural stability and reliability of the movable unit 200 in the second use state.

[0123] Specifically, the second connector 224 has two oppositely arranged connecting plates 224a, each of which has a second connecting hole 225; the first connector 211 has a connecting portion 211a, and a first connecting hole 212 is provided in the connecting portion 211a. A movable pin 226 is provided in the second connector 224 and can move axially along the second connecting hole 225. In the locked state, the connecting portion 211a extends between the two connecting plates 224a, the first connecting hole 225 and the second connecting hole 225 are aligned, and the movable pin 226 is simultaneously inserted into both the first connecting hole 212 and the second connecting hole 225; in the unlocked state, the movable pin 224 moves out of the first connecting hole 212 and remains engaged with one of the second connecting holes 225.

[0124] The movable pin 226 includes an insertion end 226a, an operating end 226b, and a limiting end 226c connecting the insertion end and the operating end. The movable pin 226 is generally Z-shaped. The user moves the insertion end 226a axially along the second connecting hole 225 by holding the operating end 226b. The maximum distance that the operating end 226b can move is insufficient to disengage the insertion end 226a from the first connecting hole 212 near the limiting end 226c. This ensures that the movable pin 226 remains engaged with the first connecting hole 212 even in the unlocked state, preventing the movable pin 226 from being lost during use and causing inconvenience to the user.

[0125] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the second carrier plate 220 includes a base plate portion 227, a handle portion 228, and a telescopic unit 300 connected to the two. The base plate portion 227 is pivotally connected to the first carrier plate 210, and the length of the second carrier plate 220 is adjusted by the telescopic unit 300.

[0126] The telescopic unit 300 includes a first support rod 310 connected to the handle portion 228, a second support rod 320 connected to the base plate portion 227, and a locking device 330. The first support rod 310 and the second support rod 320 are slidably sleeved together, and the locking device 330 can be operatively locked or released from the first support rod 310.

[0127] Furthermore, the first support rod 310 is provided in pairs on both sides of the handle portion 228, and the second support rod 320 is provided in pairs on both sides of the base plate portion 227.

[0128] In addition, such as Figure 9 As shown, the locking device 330 includes a slider 331 and a latch 332. A plurality of locking holes 336 are distributed axially on the first support rod 310. The latch 332 is configured to move along the axial direction of the locking holes 336. One end of the latch 332 can be selectively inserted into one of the locking holes 336 to lock the first support rod 310. The other end of the latch 332 is axially stopped by the slider 331 and kept locked.

[0129] The base plate portion 227 also has a guide bracket 333 for mounting the latch 332 and the slider 331. The guide bracket 333 is provided with a first elastic element 334 and a second elastic element 335. Both the first elastic element 334 and the second elastic element 335 are springs. The first elastic element 334 pushes the latch 332 toward the lock hole 336, and the second elastic element 335 pushes the latch 332 away from the lock hole 336. The end of the latch 332 that is inserted into the lock hole 336 is configured as a tapered guide end 332a. The guide end 332a is pushed out of the lock hole 336 by the axial pushing and pulling force of the first support rod 310.

[0130] It should be noted that when handling clothing, since the sizes and lengths of clothing vary, if the length of the second carrying plate 220 is fixed, then when longer clothing is hung on the second carrying plate 220, the clothing may drag on the ground. Therefore, in order to meet the requirement of adjustable length of the second carrying plate 220, a telescopic unit 300 is provided. The telescopic unit 300 connects the base plate 227 and the handle 228, wherein the first support rod 310 and the second support rod 320 are slidably sleeved. When the user needs to adjust the length of the second carrying plate 220, the length of the telescopic unit 300 is changed by sliding the first support rod 310 and the second support rod 320 relative to each other, thereby changing the overall length of the second carrying plate 220 to accommodate the hanging of clothing of different lengths.

[0131] The base plate 227 is pivotally connected to the first carrier plate 210. When the movable unit 200 is in the first use state, the base plate 227 and the first carrier plate 210 together form a carrying platform for placing items. When the movable unit 200 is in the second use state, the base plate 227 provides support for clothing hung on the second carrier plate 220, facilitating ironing operations for the user. For example, the clothing support facade mentioned in the previous embodiment.

[0132] The handle 228 not only provides convenience for users to lift the second cargo plate 220, but also allows the first support rod 310 and the second support rod 320 to slide relative to each other when the user needs to adjust the height of the second cargo plate 220 through the telescopic unit 300, making the entire height adjustment process more convenient and improving the user experience.

[0133] The locking device 330 includes a slider 331 and a latch 332. When the user needs to adjust the length of the second support plate 220, the first support rod 310 is released by operating the locking device 330. At this time, the latch 332 is disengaged from the lock hole 336, and the first support rod 310 and the second support rod 320 can slide relative to each other. The user can slide the first support rod 310 into the second support rod 320 to a suitable position according to actual needs, thereby realizing the flexible adjustment of the length of the second support plate 220 to adapt to different clothing sizes.

[0134] Furthermore, after the user adjusts the length of the second support plate 220 to a suitable position, the locking device 330 locks the first support rod 310. One end of the latch 332 can be selectively inserted into one of the locking holes 336 to lock the first support rod 310, while the other end of the latch 332 is axially stopped by the slider 331 and kept locked. In this way, the first support rod 310 and the second support rod 320 are relatively fixed, and the length of the second support plate 220 is also fixed. At this time, when the user hangs clothes on the second support plate 220, the second support plate 220 can maintain a stable structure and will not change length due to the weight of the clothes or external forces, ensuring the stability of the movable bracket and allowing the clothes to be hung stably on the second support plate 220, facilitating the user's ironing operation.

[0135] In summary, the second carrier plate 220 achieves length adjustment through the telescopic unit 300 and the locking device 330, which not only meets the hanging needs of clothes of different sizes, but also ensures stability during use.

[0136] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, two elastic buckles 333a are provided at intervals on the guide bracket 333 along the sliding path of the slider 331 to lock the position of the slider 331.

[0137] The elastic buckle 333a can undergo elastic deformation. When the slider 331 slides to the position of the elastic buckle 333a, the elastic buckle 333a can deform to allow the slider 331 to pass through. After the slider 331 passes through, the elastic buckle 333a returns to its original state. At this time, the elastic buckle 333a will hinder the sliding of the slider 331, thereby locking the position of the slider 331. This effectively prevents the slider 331 from moving accidentally during the use of the second carrier plate 220 in the second use state. Even when clothes are hung on the second carrier plate 220, the slider 331 cannot be disengaged from the lock of the elastic buckle 333a, thus ensuring the relative fixation of the first support rod 310 and the second support rod 320, enhancing the stability of the second carrier plate 220 during use, and ensuring that clothes can be stably hung on the second carrier plate 220.

[0138] Based on the above, it should be noted that the slider 331 moves in the guide bracket 333 along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the lock hole 336, which is specifically manifested as up and down movement in this embodiment. The latch 332 moves in the lock housing along the axis of the lock hole 336, which is specifically manifested as left and right movement in this embodiment.

[0139] The following describes the locking device 330 in the locked and unlocked states respectively. In order to distinguish the two ends of the latch 332, the end closer to the lock hole 336 is called the first end, and the guide end 332a is located at the first end; the end away from the lock hole 336 is called the second end 332b.

[0140] It is understood that the two elastic latches 333a are used to lock the slider 331 in a locked state and an unlocked state, respectively. In this embodiment, the upward sliding of the slider 331 is the unlocked state, and the downward sliding of the slider 331 is the locked state.

[0141] In the locked state, the slider 331 presses against the second end 332b of the latch 332, and the second elastic element 335 remains compressed so that the latch 332 is stably against the slider 331. At this time, the tapered guide end 332a of the latch 332 is fully inserted into the locking hole 336 of the first support rod 310, so that the two support rods are relatively fixed.

[0142] In the unlocked state, the slider 331 is slid up along the guide bracket 333 and fixed by the elastic buckle 333a. The slider 331 and the latch 332 are separated to form a gap. The second elastic element 335 releases its elastic force to push the latch 332 to move towards the slider 331. At the same time, the axial sliding of the first support rod 310 causes the guide end 332a of the latch 332 to exit the lock hole 336 along the inclined surface. At this time, the two support rods can slide freely.

[0143] Specifically, the slider 331 is provided with two sliding parts 331a, which are connected by a guide 331b, so that the latches 332 on both sides can be controlled simultaneously. The guide bracket 333 is provided with a first guide groove 333b and a guide post 333c that separates the first guide groove. The guide 331b moves up and down along the guide post 333c to make the slider move in the first guide groove 333b.

[0144] Subsequently, after the height of the second carrier plate 220 is adjusted to the correct position, the latch 332 automatically resets and inserts into the new lock hole 336 under the action of the first elastic element 334, and the slider 331 is moved down to complete the locking again.

[0145] It should be noted that the aforementioned locking device 330 is symmetrically arranged, and the movement of the latches 332 on both sides can be synchronously controlled by a slider 331. A first guide slope 332c is provided at the second end 332b of the latch 332, and the slider 331 is correspondingly provided with a second guide slope 331c. When the slider 331 slides, the second guide slopes 331c on both sides simultaneously interact with the corresponding first guide slopes 332c, ensuring that the latches 332 on both sides move synchronously. In the locked state, the slider 331 presses the latches 332 on both sides through the wedging action of the slopes, causing the guide ends 332a of the latches 332 to insert into the lock holes 336 of the first support rod 310. When unlocking, the slider 331 moves upward to release the pressure on the latches 332, and under the action of the second elastic element 335, the latches 332 on both sides synchronously exit the lock holes 336, ensuring smooth relative sliding of the first support rod 310 and the second support rod 320 on both sides, which not only improves the synchronization of operation but also enhances the stability during locking.

[0146] Based on the above, when there is sufficient space to place the combined clothing processing equipment and the lower equipment 400 is large, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the first carrying plate 210 and the second carrying plate 220 extend and are arranged along the first direction when the active unit 200 is in the storage state.

[0147] This storage design facilitates the unfolding of the first and second trays 210 during use, making it more convenient for users to operate.

[0148] When the space for placing the modular garment processing equipment is limited, the movable unit 200 can also adopt a storage form in which the first carrying plate 210 and the second carrying plate 220 are stacked. By stacking the first carrying plate 210 and the second carrying plate 220 in the vertical direction, the space occupied by the movable unit 200 in the horizontal direction is reduced, making the structure of the entire stacking bracket more compact.

[0149] This embodiment also includes a combined garment processing device, comprising a lower device 400 and an upper device stacked on the lower device 400, and also includes the aforementioned stacking bracket, wherein the lower device 400 and the upper device are stacked together via the stacking bracket.

[0150] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, there are other embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
