Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing equipment technology, and in particular to a stacking support and clothing processing device. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, people have increasingly higher demands for laundry and garment care. To meet these needs, many families purchase two garment care devices, such as a washing machine and a dryer, or a washing machine and a multi-drum garment care unit. However, in limited living spaces, stacking these devices vertically has become a common solution to save floor space and make the most of available space.
[0003] In stacked installations, to ensure operational stability and prevent the upper unit from slipping or falling due to vibration, specialized stacking brackets are typically used to secure the two garment processing units. However, the top structures of different models of lower garment processing units can vary significantly. Some models have a flat top, while others may have raised or recessed structures. Existing stacking brackets often employ fixed height and structural designs, making them unsuitable for adapting to the structure of the lower garment processing unit, resulting in an unstable connection between the stacking bracket and the lower garment processing unit. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a stacking support and a garment processing device, which aims to improve the stable connection between the stacking support and the lower garment processing device.
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a stacking support for being disposed between upper garment processing devices and lower garment processing devices that are stacked sequentially, the stacking support comprising:
[0006] The support frame has a mounting base for facing the lower garment processing equipment;

[0008] A mounting pad is connected to the support frame and is at least partially disposed within the mounting gap so that the garment handling device supports the support frame via the mounting pad.
[0009] The support frame includes:
[0010] The support body has a support base surface facing the lower garment processing device; and
[0011] A mounting boss is provided on the supporting base surface and is at least partially inserted into the recessed platform of the garment handling device. The mounting boss has a boss surface facing the garment handling device. The mounting base surface includes:
[0012] The supporting bottom surface, the adhesive component is adhered to the supporting bottom surface; and / or
[0013] The boss surface, and the adhesive is bonded to the boss surface.
[0014] In some embodiments, the support body includes:
[0015] At least two support members are arranged at intervals along the front-back or left-right direction. Each support member has a support bottom surface and is provided with the mounting boss.
[0016] In some embodiments, the support member has a length direction, the mounting pad is disposed on the support member, and two mounting pads are spaced apart along the length direction of the support member;
[0017] The mounting boss extends along the length direction of the support member. The adhesive member includes a first adhesive member and a second adhesive member. The first adhesive member covers the surface of the boss, and the second adhesive member is bonded to the bottom surface of the support member and is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the length direction. The first adhesive member and the second adhesive member are parallel and spaced apart.
[0018] In some embodiments, the support member has a plurality of fixing grooves on the side facing the upper garment processing device, the plurality of fixing grooves being arranged along the length direction of the support member, and the bottom wall of the fixing grooves being provided with through holes for fasteners to pass through, so that the fasteners are connected to the lower garment processing device.
[0019] In some embodiments, the through hole is one of a round hole, an elliptical hole, a cross hole, an oblong hole, or a triangular hole.
[0020] In some embodiments, two support members are provided, arranged spaced apart in a left-right direction, and the support body further includes:
[0021] The front panel is connected to the front side of the two support members;
[0022] The front panel and the support member are provided with a fastener, and the other of the front panel and the support member is provided with a snap-fit groove, and the fastener is snapped into the snap-fit groove.
[0023] In some embodiments, the fastener includes two spaced-apart elastic fasteners, each elastic fastener including a fastening portion and an elastic arm connecting the fastening portion; the engaging groove includes a communicating guide section and an engaging section, the cross-sectional area of the guide section being smaller than the cross-sectional area of the engaging section, the engaging section having an abutment wall, the elastic arm passing through the guide section, and the fastening portion located within the engaging section abutting against the abutment wall.
[0024] In some embodiments, the front panel has a clearance groove on the side facing the upper garment handling device.
[0025] In some embodiments, the front panel has a release groove on the side facing the support member; the support body further includes:
[0026] Multiple spaced second reinforcing ribs are arranged along the length of the front panel within the demolding groove.
[0027] In some embodiments, the mounting pad is detachably connected to the support frame to allow for replacement of mounting pads of different thicknesses.
[0028] In some embodiments, the detachable connection between the mounting pad and the support frame includes one of snap-fit, plug-in, or adhesive connection.
[0029] In some embodiments, the support frame has a lower mounting groove, the mounting pad is mounted in the lower mounting groove, and partially protrudes from the mounting bottom surface.
[0030] In some embodiments, the support frame further has an annular groove surrounding the periphery of the lower mounting groove; the support frame includes:
[0031] Multiple spaced-apart first reinforcing ribs are connected between the outer wall of the lower mounting groove and the inner wall of the annular groove.
[0032] In some embodiments, the support frame further has an upper mounting groove, which is disposed opposite to the lower mounting groove in the vertical direction, and the stacking bracket further includes:
[0033] A foot pad is provided in the upper mounting groove, and the foot pad is used to support the support feet of the upper garment processing equipment.
[0034] Secondly, this application provides a garment processing device, comprising:
[0035] Garment processing equipment;
[0036] The upper garment processing device is positioned above the lower garment processing device; and
[0037] The stacking support as described in any of the above is located between the lower garment processing device and the upper garment processing device.
[0038] In this embodiment, the support frame is stably bonded to the lower garment processing equipment using adhesive. The use of adhesive eliminates the need for complex fixing tools, making operation simple and enabling quick positioning of the stacking support and the lower garment processing equipment, thus providing a stable foundation for positioning the upper garment processing equipment.
[0039] When the top of the lower garment processing equipment is flat, the support frame in this embodiment can be completely supported on the top of the lower garment processing equipment by the mounting pad. This allows for a stable connection between the upper and lower garment processing equipment without direct contact between the support frame and the lower equipment. In this case, the mounting pad not only fills the gap but, more importantly, appropriately raises the placement height of the upper garment processing equipment. This increased height effectively increases the vertical distance between the upper and lower garment processing equipment, thereby reducing potential interference caused by equipment swaying during operation. This increase is particularly important when there are protruding structures at the bottom or top of either the upper or lower garment processing equipment, preventing collisions or friction between them and ensuring the safe operation of the garment processing device.
[0040] When the top of the lower garment processing equipment has irregular structures such as protrusions or depressions, the stacking bracket in this embodiment contacts the lower garment processing equipment through at least a portion of the support frame. Because the support frame partially contacts the lower garment processing equipment, the load can be distributed more evenly, providing partial support and improving the stacking stability of the stacking bracket. The mounting pad is placed in the installation gap between the mounting bottom surface of the support frame and the lower garment processing equipment. This design not only adapts to the uneven shape of the top of the lower garment processing equipment but also eliminates instability caused by the installation gap through the filling effect of the mounting pad, providing more contact area and improving the connection stability between the stacking bracket and the lower garment processing equipment. Furthermore, the mounting pad also acts as a buffer and shock absorber, cushioning and dispersing the pressure of the upper garment processing equipment on the lower garment processing equipment, while providing additional connection points to prevent vibration or displacement of the upper garment processing equipment during operation.

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0056] Garment handling equipment refers to devices used in homes or laundries to wash, clean, soften, dry, and remove wrinkles from clothing. It includes various types such as washing machines, dryers, washer-dryer combos, garment care machines, and steam irons. The main function of garment handling equipment is to provide solutions for cleaning and drying clothes, maintaining their cleanliness and neatness through different programs and functions such as washing, rinsing, spin-drying, drying, or conditioning.
[0057] As people's living standards improve, their demands for clothing care are also increasing, and the utilization rate of home space is receiving more and more attention. To integrate multiple functions into a compact space and provide a convenient operating experience, this application provides a clothing processing device (not shown) stacked vertically, including an upper clothing processing device (not shown) and a lower clothing processing device 200 (such as...). Figure 1 The system includes a stacking bracket 100 for placement between the upper and lower garment processing devices 200, which are stacked sequentially. By stacking the upper garment processing device on top of the lower garment processing device 200, the two garment processing devices are compactly integrated together, achieving a stable connection and efficient collaborative work between the devices, and providing users with a more convenient, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing garment processing solution.
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, it is understandable that the upper and lower garment handling devices 200, which are not housed in the same enclosure or frame, can be manufactured separately for ease of transport. The stacking bracket 100 securely connects the upper and lower garment handling devices 200 during assembly, allowing them to be stacked together. The upper and lower garment handling devices 200 can each be a washing machine, dryer, washer-dryer combo, ironing machine, sterilizer, garment care machine, etc. In other words, the upper garment handling device can be the same as or different from the lower garment handling device 200. For example, in a practical application scenario, the upper garment handling device is a dryer, and the lower garment handling device 200 is a washing machine. After the washing machine finishes washing, the user can directly place the clothes into the upper dryer for drying.
[0059] The upper and lower garment processing devices 200 are primarily square or near-square in shape, such as rectangles or squares. This square design not only conforms to the aesthetic appearance of common household appliances, but also facilitates stable placement and stacking of the equipment. Furthermore, the dimensions of the upper garment processing device can be the same as or different from those of the lower garment processing device 200. For example, the front-to-back dimensions of the upper garment processing device may differ from those of the lower garment processing device 200, while the left-to-right dimensions may be the same; alternatively, the front-to-back dimensions of the upper garment processing device may be the same as those of the lower garment processing device 200, while the left-to-right dimensions may differ.
[0060] In this embodiment, both the upper garment handling device and the lower garment handling device 200 are front-opening garment handling devices. Specifically, both devices are equipped with a door assembly that faces the user during use. Therefore, we define the side where the door assembly is located as the front side of the upper and lower garment handling devices 200. The user can open the door assembly to place or remove garments into the garment handling chamber via the garment handling inlet. Correspondingly, the side opposite the front side is defined as the rear side. Furthermore, the garment handling device also has a left and right side, as well as an upper and lower side; these directions are defined based on the front side where the door assembly is located.
[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the stacking support 100 includes a support frame 10, an adhesive component 20, and a mounting pad 30. The support frame 10, as the main structure of the stacking support 100, is used to support the weight of the upper garment processing device and stably fix it above the garment processing device. The support frame 10 is a frame structure, and its cross-sectional shape roughly matches the square shape of the upper garment processing device and the lower garment processing device 200. The support frame 10 can be made of high-strength metal materials or engineering plastics. If metal materials are chosen, aluminum alloy or steel can be used. Aluminum alloy has the advantages of light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for scenarios requiring frequent handling or installation. Steel has higher strength and rigidity, making it suitable for occasions with high stability requirements. If engineering plastics are chosen, the main body can be polyamide or polycarbonate, which has lightweight and corrosion resistance.
[0062] Please continue reading. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The support frame 10 has a mounting base 10a facing the lower garment processing device 200. An adhesive component 20 is mounted on the mounting base 10a. Using the adhesive component 20 eliminates the need for complex fixing tools, simplifying operation and enabling quick positioning of the stacking support frame 100 and the lower garment processing device 200. The support frame 10 is stably bonded to the lower garment processing device 200 via the adhesive component 20. The adhesive component 20 can be strip-shaped, block-shaped, sheet-shaped, etc. This diverse design further enhances the adaptability of the stacking support frame 100, allowing for flexible adjustment based on different shapes and sizes of the mounting base 10a, ensuring bonding stability and reliability, and reducing installation problems caused by differences in device structure.
[0063] The adhesive component 20 can be industrial adhesive or double-sided tape. In this embodiment, the adhesive component 20 can be 3M tape. 3M tape is a double-sided tape coated with a strong acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, suitable for bonding various materials (such as metal, plastic, glass, etc.). It has high bonding strength and can replace traditional mechanical fixing methods (such as bolts, welding). It also has excellent anti-aging, high temperature resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance, ensuring stable performance during long-term use. 3M tape with foam can also be used, which has a certain degree of elasticity and can absorb vibration to a certain extent, reducing shaking during the operation of the garment handling equipment.
[0064] To increase the contact area of the mounting base 10a, the mounting base 10a of the support frame 10 can be roughened, for example, by sandblasting or grinding, to increase the contact area between the support frame 10 and the adhesive component 20 and improve the bonding strength. Furthermore, multiple adhesive components 20 can be provided, and each adhesive component 20 can be bonded to a suitable position on the mounting base 10a. This application does not restrict the arrangement or extension direction of the multiple adhesive components 20.
[0065] Since the adhesive 20 is bonded to the garment handling equipment 200, there is an installation gap 100a between the support frame 10 and the garment handling equipment 200 at least partially. The mounting pad 30 is connected to the support 111 and is used to be at least partially disposed within the installation gap 100a so that the garment handling equipment 200 supports the support frame 10 through the mounting pad 30.
[0066] In related technologies, different brands or models of garment handling equipment 200 (such as washing machines) may have design differences. For example, some washing machine models may have a flat top, while others may have a raised or recessed structure on the top (the size of the raised or recessed structure may also vary between different models) for installing decorative strips or other components. These structural differences will result in different heights of the installation gap 100a.
[0067] When the top of the lower garment processing device 200 is flat, the support frame 10 in this embodiment can be completely supported on the top of the lower garment processing device 200 by the mounting pad 30. This allows for a stable connection between the upper and lower garment processing devices without direct contact between the support frame 10 and the lower garment processing device 200. In this case, the mounting pad 30 not only fills the gap but, more importantly, appropriately raises the placement height of the upper garment processing device. This increased height effectively increases the vertical distance between the upper and lower garment processing devices 200, thereby reducing potential interference from equipment shaking during operation. This increase is particularly important when there are protruding structures at the bottom of the upper garment processing device or at the top of the lower garment processing device 200, preventing collisions or friction between them and ensuring the safe operation of the garment processing device.
[0068] When the top of the lower garment processing device 200 has irregular structures such as protrusions or depressions, the stacking bracket 100 in this embodiment contacts the lower garment processing device 200 through at least a portion of the support frame 10. Since the support frame 10 partially contacts the lower garment processing device 200, the load can be distributed more evenly, providing partial support and improving the stacking stability of the stacking bracket 100. The mounting pad 30 is disposed in the mounting gap 100a between the mounting bottom surface 10a of the support frame 10 and the lower garment processing device 200. This design not only adapts to the uneven shape of the top of the lower garment processing device 200, but also eliminates the instability caused by the mounting gap 100a through the filling effect of the mounting pad 30, providing more contact area and improving the connection stability between the stacking bracket 100 and the lower garment processing device 200. Furthermore, the mounting pad 30 also acts as a buffer and shock absorber, buffering and dispersing the pressure of the upper garment processing device on the lower garment processing device 200, while providing additional connection points to prevent vibration or displacement of the upper garment processing device during operation.
[0069] The cross-section of the mounting pad 30 can be circular, square, or irregular. In this embodiment, the mounting pad 30 is a circular mounting pad 30, and the main body of the mounting pad 30 can be made of rubber, silicone, or foam. These materials have good elasticity, shock absorption, and wear resistance, and can absorb vibration during the operation of the garment processing equipment.
[0070] In one configuration, the mounting pad 30 is adhered to the mounting base 10a. In another configuration, part of the mounting pad 30 is confined to the support frame 10, while the remaining portion is disposed within the mounting gap 100a. In both configurations, the bottom of the mounting pad 30 contacts the top of the garment handling device 200, serving to buffer and balance the height difference.
[0071] When the upper garment handling device is installed on the support frame 10, its weight exerts pressure on the mounting pad 30 from top to bottom. This pressure causes the mounting pad 30 to be tightly pressed between the support frame 10 and the lower garment handling device 200. Because the mounting pad 30 has a certain degree of elasticity, it can deform when compressed, thereby better filling the installation gap 100a and tightly adhering to the surfaces of the support frame 10 and the lower garment handling device 200.
[0072] This tight fit not only enhances the friction between the mounting pad 30 and the surrounding structure, further preventing displacement during use, but also effectively disperses the pressure of the garment handling equipment on the support frame 10, avoiding structural damage caused by excessive local pressure. Therefore, the positioning of the mounting pad 30 relies not only on its own connection method but also cleverly utilizes the gravity and pressure of the garment handling equipment to form a stable sandwich structure, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire stacking support 100 during operation.
[0073] In some embodiments, the mounting pad 30 is detachably connected to the support frame 10 to allow for replacement of mounting pads 30 of different thicknesses. Since different top structures of the lower garment handling device 200 may result in different heights of mounting gap 100a, or different upper garment handling devices may require different heights of mounting gap 100a, the detachable mounting pad 30 allows the user to select a mounting pad 30 of appropriate thickness according to the actual height difference, thereby ensuring stable contact between the support frame 10 and the lower garment handling device 200.
[0074] The adaptability of the stacking bracket 100 is improved, eliminating the need for a dedicated support frame 10 for each type of upper garment processing device and lower garment processing device 200. By replacing the mounting pads 30 with different thicknesses, it can easily adapt to various combinations of upper garment processing devices and lower garment processing devices 200, making the stacking bracket 100 compatible with more types of garment processing devices.
[0075] Furthermore, the detachable connection between the mounting pad 30 and the support frame 10 includes one of the following methods: snap-fit, plug-in, or adhesive. Snap-fit connections typically feature clearly defined insertion and removal mechanisms, allowing users to easily and quickly install and remove the mounting pad 30 without tools, providing a smooth user experience. Plug-in connections utilize multiple protrusions and grooves to provide a larger contact area and friction, enhancing connection stability and preventing displacement of the mounting pad 30 during use. Adhesive connections use adhesive to connect the mounting pad 30 to the support frame 10. Adhesive can be selectively applied to appropriate locations on the mounting base 10a. Users simply align the mounting pad 30 with the adhesive-coated area on the mounting base 10a and gently press to complete the installation.
[0076] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 4 Specifically, in this embodiment, the support frame 10 has a lower mounting groove 10b, the opening of which faces the garment handling device 200. The lower mounting groove 10b provides a fixed mounting position. The mounting pad 30 is mounted in the lower mounting groove 10b. The shape of the lower mounting groove 10b is usually matched with the shape of the mounting pad 30, which can be rectangular, circular, or other suitable shapes, so that the mounting pad 30 will not shift or loosen during use. Part of the mounting pad 30 is embedded in the lower mounting groove 10b. The side wall of the lower mounting groove 10b can limit the mounting pad 30 from the circumferential direction, while the other part protrudes from the mounting bottom surface 10a and is in close contact with the top of the garment handling device 200, ensuring stable contact between the support frame 10 and the garment handling device 200.
[0077] The number of lower mounting slots 10b can be greater than the number of mounting pads 30, so that the mounting pads 30 can be installed in the lower mounting slots 10b at appropriate positions to accommodate the top structure of different models of garment processing equipment 200.
[0078] Furthermore, the thickness of the mounting pads 30 in different lower mounting slots 10b may be the same or different, depending on the specific top structure of the garment processing equipment 200. This application does not limit this.
[0079] In some embodiments, the mounting pad 30 is also provided with 3M adhesive on the side facing the lower garment handling device 200, which can be bonded to the upper surface of the lower garment handling device 200. This can significantly enhance the bonding strength between the mounting pad 30 and the lower garment handling device 200 and also provide additional bonding points for the stacking bracket 100, ensuring a tight fit between the two and further ensuring the stability of the entire stacking structure.
[0080] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the support frame 10 also has an annular groove 10c, which surrounds the periphery of the lower mounting groove 10b. Understandably, the inner wall of the annular groove 10c is the outer wall of the lower mounting groove 10b, meaning they share a portion of the groove wall. The support frame 10 includes a plurality of spaced-apart first reinforcing ribs 13. The first reinforcing ribs 13 connect the outer wall of the lower mounting groove 10b and the inner wall of the annular groove 10c. The first reinforcing ribs 13 are plate-shaped and extend along the groove depth of the annular groove 10c. When the garment processing equipment vibrates during operation, stress will concentrate on certain weak points of the lower mounting groove 10b, making these points prone to deformation or damage due to excessive stress. In this embodiment, multiple first reinforcing ribs 13 are provided, each of which can share a portion of the stress, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by excessive stress on the groove wall of the lower mounting groove 10b.
[0081] In this embodiment, the mounting pad 30 is circular, and correspondingly, the cross-section of the lower mounting groove 10b is also circular. Multiple first reinforcing ribs 13 are arranged radially in the circumferential direction of the lower mounting groove 10b, providing multi-directional support. This allows the stress on the groove wall of the lower mounting groove 10b to be evenly transmitted to the outer groove wall of the annular groove 10c through the multiple first reinforcing ribs 13 in the circumferential direction, rather than being concentrated in a specific area. This effectively prevents the groove wall of the lower mounting groove 10b from deforming under stress.
[0082] like Figure 6 As shown, the garment handling device includes support feet at the bottom, which support the weight of the device itself and the weight of the garments inside, and maintain the stability of the garment handling device. In some embodiments, the support frame 10 also has an upper mounting groove 10d, which is arranged opposite to the lower mounting groove 10b in the vertical direction, that is, the opening of the upper mounting groove 10d faces upward, and the upper mounting groove 10d and the lower mounting groove 10b share the bottom wall of the groove. The stacking bracket 100 also includes foot pads 40, which have good elasticity, such as rubber foot pads 40 or silicone foot pads 40. The upper mounting groove 10d provides a positioning and support position for the foot pads 40. The foot pads 40 can be fixed in the upper mounting groove 10d by means of adhesive, snap-fit, or plug-in. The circumferential sidewall of the upper mounting groove 10d can limit the foot pads 40 from the circumferential direction to ensure that they can be stably fixed on the support frame 10 and prevent them from falling off during use. Foot pad 40 is used to support the support feet of the garment handling equipment, and foot pad 40 can provide sufficient cushioning and shock absorption.
[0083] Please continue reading. Figure 6In this embodiment, the foot pad 40 is housed within the upper mounting groove 10d, which is also a circular mounting groove. Correspondingly, the foot pad 40 is circular. The support leg of the garment handling device is at least partially cylindrical, allowing it to extend into the upper mounting groove 10d and conform to the shape of the foot pad 40. The diameter of the foot pad 40 is approximately 25mm-35mm, accommodating support legs of different models of garment handling devices. The peripheral wall of the upper mounting groove 10d circumferentially limits the support leg, ensuring that it does not undergo circumferential displacement during use. The cylindrical support leg design not only provides stable support but also ensures the stability and reliability of the entire garment handling device.
[0084] Furthermore, the number of upper mounting slots 10d corresponds to the number of support legs of the garment handling device. Specifically, this ensures that each support leg can mate with its corresponding foot pad 40 to achieve stable support. In one configuration, the garment handling device is a drum washing machine, with two support legs on each side of its bottom, for a total of two support legs. In this case, two upper mounting slots 10d are correspondingly provided on the support frame 10, located on the left and right sides of the support frame 10, for mounting two foot pads 40. These two foot pads 40 correspond to the two support legs of the garment handling device. In another configuration, the garment handling device is a washer-dryer combo, with one support leg near each of its four corners, for a total of four support legs. In this case, an upper mounting slot 10d is provided at each of the four corners of the support frame 10 for mounting four foot pads 40. These four foot pads 40 correspond to the four support legs of the garment handling device.
[0085] To further enhance the connection between the foot pad 40 and the support leg of the garment handling equipment, in some embodiments, 3M adhesive is provided on the side of the foot pad 40 facing the garment handling equipment. This significantly enhances the connection strength between the foot pad 40 and the support member 111, reducing the possibility of the garment handling equipment tipping over during operation. The adhesive method simplifies the installation process, and users can complete the bonding between the foot pad 40 and the support leg without additional fixing tools or complicated installation steps.
[0086] In some embodiments, the garment handling device 200 includes a top cover 210 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The top cover 210 constitutes the top structure of the garment processing equipment. As an important component of the garment processing equipment, the top cover 210 needs to have sufficient structural strength to withstand the various forces generated during the operation of the equipment, and also needs to have good sealing and aesthetics.
[0087] If the top cover 210 were to be constructed entirely of plastic, it would face the contradiction of insufficient strength and excessive cost. If the top cover 210 were to be constructed entirely of wood, it would suffer from defects such as susceptibility to moisture and deformation, and poor functional expandability. Therefore, in related technologies, the top cover 210 typically employs a composite design of wood panels and plastic materials. The wood panels serve as the core load-bearing layer, providing high bending stiffness, while the plastic frame acts as a covering skeleton, achieving edge reinforcement, functional integration (snap-fit), and a closed appearance. The plastic frame is first designed with a specific shape and size. The plastic frame forms a clamping area through its inner flange, temporarily fixing the wood panels. After the wood panels are clamped by the plastic frame, they are fixed by applying adhesive, forming a stable composite structure.
[0088] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the composite design, the top cover 210 includes a plastic frame and a panel component, which can be a flat panel such as wood or high-density fiberboard. In this embodiment, wood is selected as the panel component. The plastic frame includes an overlapping portion and a clamping portion, which are set at an angle of approximately 90 degrees. The overlapping portion overlaps the upper surface of the panel component, while the clamping portion can clamp the wood in the vertical direction. There is a certain height difference between the overlapping portion and the upper surface of the panel component, which makes the top cover 210 form a recessed platform 200a in the overall structure.
[0089] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the known lower garment processing device 200 has a recessed platform 200a on the side facing the stacking bracket 100. Considering the different types and models of lower garment processing devices 200, the depth of the recessed platform 200a varies slightly, resulting in lower adaptability of the stacking bracket 100. In some embodiments, the support frame 10 includes a support body 11 and a mounting boss 12. The support body 11, as the main component of the support frame 10, is capable of bearing the weight of the upper garment processing device and stably fixing it above the lower garment processing device 200. The support body 11 has a support bottom surface 10a1 facing the lower garment handling device 200. A mounting boss 12 protrudes from the support bottom surface 10a1 and is used to at least partially extend into the recessed platform 200a of the lower garment handling device 200. Understandably, "at least partially" here refers to the portion of the mounting boss 12 in the direction of the protrusion height. The height of the mounting boss 12 can be taken as the average value of common types and models. When the height of the mounting boss 12 is greater than the depth of the recessed platform 200a, an installation gap 100a may be formed between the support bottom surface 10a1 and the upper surface of the top cover 210. This gap can be filled by adding mounting pads 30 of different thicknesses. The thickness of the mounting pads 30 is selected according to the specific difference in the depth of the recessed platform 200a.
[0090] For example, the depth of the recessed platform 200a of the garment processing device 200 is 8mm, while the height of the mounting boss 12 is 12mm. In this case, the mounting boss 12 exceeds the depth of the recessed platform 200a, and a 4mm mounting gap 100a is formed between the supporting bottom surface 10a1 and the upper surface of the top cover 210. At this time, a mounting pad 30 with a thickness greater than 4mm can be selected. Part of the mounting pad 30 protrudes from the supporting bottom surface 10a1 and is in close contact with the top cover 210 of the garment processing device 200.
[0091] Please continue reading. Figure 4 and Figure 7 The mounting boss 12 has a boss surface 10a2 facing the garment handling device 200. The boss surface 10a2 can be flat. In one configuration, the mounting base 10a includes a supporting base 10a1 to which the adhesive member 20 can be bonded. In another configuration, the mounting base 10a includes the boss surface 10a2 to which the adhesive member 20 can be bonded. In yet another configuration, the mounting base 10a includes both the supporting base 10a1 and the boss surface 10a2, and the adhesive member 20 can be bonded to both. This design provides a variety of flexible installation methods to adapt to the top structure of the garment handling device 200 under different conditions, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the stacking bracket 100 and the garment handling device 200.
[0092] Specifically, when the top surface of the garment processing equipment is flat, the adhesive component 20 can be set on the boss surface 10a2 and directly bonded to the top surface of the lower garment processing equipment 200. In this case, due to the setting of the mounting boss 12, an installation gap 100a will be formed between the support bottom surface 10a1 and the top surface of the lower garment processing equipment 200. This gap can be filled by setting the mounting pad 30, thereby significantly improving the connection stability between the stacking bracket 100 and the lower garment processing equipment 200, effectively preventing shaking or displacement caused by the gap, and ensuring the stability of the garment processing device during operation.
[0093] If the garment processing equipment has a recessed platform 200a, which consists of a bottom surface and a shoulder surface, and the depth of the recessed platform 200a is less than the height of the mounting boss 12, then the mounting boss 12 can partially extend into the recessed platform 200a. In this case, the adhesive 20 provided on the boss surface 10a2 is tightly bonded to the bottom surface of the recessed platform 200a, forming a tight connection. If there is an installation gap 100a between the supporting bottom surface 10a1 and the shoulder surface of the recessed platform 200a, it can be supported by setting a mounting pad 30. This design not only ensures the stability of the connection but also makes full use of the structural characteristics of the recessed platform 200a, achieving a tighter fit.
[0094] When the depth of the recessed platform 200a is greater than the height of the mounting boss 12, the adhesive component 20 can be placed on the support bottom surface 10a1 and directly bonded to the shoulder surface of the recessed platform 200a, providing the main support force. At this time, the mounting pad 30 can be located inside the recessed platform 200a to support the lower surface of the mounting boss 12 and the bottom surface of the recessed platform 200a. This structure effectively avoids the phenomenon of the mounting boss 12 being suspended inside the recessed platform 200a, further enhancing the stability of the connection and playing a role in buffering and shock absorption, protecting the equipment from the effects of impact and vibration.
[0095] If the depth of the recessed platform 200a is roughly matched with the height of the mounting boss 12, a more flexible arrangement of the adhesive components 20 can be adopted. For example, multiple adhesive components 20 can be set, with some adhesive components 20 bonded to the support base surface 10a1 and the shoulder surface of the recessed platform 200a, providing the main support and positioning; other adhesive components 20 are bonded to the boss surface 10a2 and the side wall of the recessed platform 200a, further enhancing the strength and reliability of the connection. This composite bonding method can maximize the role of the support base surface 10a1 and the boss surface 10a2, achieve the optimal connection effect, and ensure a long-term stable and reliable connection between the stacking bracket 100 and the garment handling equipment 200.
[0096] The adhesive component 20 includes a first adhesive component 21, which is bonded to the boss surface 10a2 and used for bonding with the bottom surface of the recessed platform 200a. This enhances the connection stability between the support frame 10 and the lower garment processing device 200, and allows for flexible adjustment of the height difference between the support bottom surface 10a1 of the support frame 10 and the lower garment processing device 200, enabling the mounting boss 12 to contact the bottom surface of the recessed platform 200a. The first adhesive component 21 achieves a stable bonding effect, further enhancing the stability of the stacked support 100. This design improves the adaptability of the support frame 10, allowing it to accommodate recessed platforms 200a of different depths.
[0097] Understandably, since the periphery of the top cover 210 is a plastic frame, the recessed platform 200a is formed in the middle of the top cover 210. Therefore, the mounting boss 12 is set closer to the middle of the top cover 210 than the mounting pad 30. In some application scenarios, the mounting pad 30 is located at the bottom and shoulder surfaces of the recessed platform 200a. The mounting pad 30 needs to adapt to these two planes of different heights at the same time. Therefore, the mounting pad 30 is made of a material with a high elastic modulus, such as high elastic rubber or silicone. These materials can maintain good elasticity over a large deformation range, thereby better adapting to the bottom and shoulder surfaces of the recessed platform 200a.
[0098] In some embodiments, the surface of the lower garment processing device 200 facing the stacking support 100 is a flat surface, meaning there is no countersunk platform 200a structure. This means that the mounting boss 12 will directly contact the top cover 210 of the lower garment processing device 200, while the supporting bottom surface 10a1 and the top surface of the top cover 210 have an installation gap 100a. In this case, a mounting pad 30 with a height greater than that of the mounting boss 12 can be selected. For example, if the height of the mounting boss 12 is designed to be 10mm, and the top cover 210 of the lower garment processing device 200 is a flat surface without a countersunk platform 200a structure, a mounting pad 30 with a thickness of 12mm can be selected. This mounting pad 30 is fixed to the supporting bottom surface 10a1 by adhesive bonding, which can effectively transfer the weight and force of the upper garment processing device to the lower garment processing device 200.
[0099] Furthermore, 3M tape is provided on the side of the mounting pad 30 facing the garment handling device 200, forming a double bond with the first adhesive element 21 (e.g., 3M tape on the boss surface 10a2). This design ensures a tight fit between multiple contact surfaces, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the garment handling device.
[0100] Therefore, the stacking bracket 100 in this embodiment has high adaptability and can be applied to two common structures of the top cover 210 of the garment handling device 200: one is a top cover 210 with a flat surface, and the other is a top cover 210 with a recessed platform 200a. Through the cooperative use of the mounting boss 12 and the mounting pad 30, the stacking bracket 100 can flexibly adapt to garment handling devices 200 with different structures, achieving wide applicability.
[0101] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the support body 11 includes at least two support members 111, which are arranged in a generally straight line. The at least two support members 111 are spaced apart in the front-back or left-right direction. Each support member 111 has a supporting bottom surface 10a1 facing the lower garment processing device 200, and each is provided with a mounting boss 12 and a mounting pad 30 for cooperating with the recessed platform 200a. The support member 111 can be integrally injection molded with the mounting boss 12. When the upper garment processing device has two support legs, the two support legs are approximately supported at the middle position of two of the support members 111, thereby achieving stable two-point support. When the upper garment processing device has four support legs, regardless of whether the arrangement is spaced apart in the front-back or left-right direction, at least two support members 111 can effectively cover these four support legs, achieving stable four-point support and ensuring the stability of the upper garment processing device in a stacked state.
[0102] As the number of support members 111 increases, the total contact area between the support frame 10 and the lower garment handling device 200 also increases. For example, when the number of support members 111 exceeds two, the contact area between the support frame 10 and the lower garment handling device 200 will further increase, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the support and helping to distribute the load.
[0103] In some application scenarios, in order to adapt to different models of garment processing equipment 200, the height of the mounting boss 12 may be less than the depth of the recessed platform 200a. Therefore, in this embodiment, the adhesive 20 also includes a second adhesive 22. The second adhesive 22 may be in the shape of a strip. The second adhesive 22 is adhered to the support bottom surface 10a1 and is also adhered to the shoulder surface of the recessed platform 200a. Even if the mounting boss 12 is suspended, the support frame 10 can still be tightly bonded to the shoulder surface of the recessed platform 200a through the second adhesive 22, thereby enhancing its stability.
[0104] In addition, to further enhance the reliability of the connection, 3M adhesive can also be applied to the side of the mounting pad 30 facing the lower garment handling device 200. 3M adhesive has excellent bonding properties, which can firmly attach the mounting pad 30 to the top surface of the lower garment handling device 200, further improving the stability of the support frame 10 and ensuring the safety and reliability of the upper and lower garment handling devices 200 in a stacked state.
[0105] This embodiment can adapt to different models of garment processing equipment 200. Even if the height of the mounting boss 12 is less than the depth of the countersunk platform 200a, the support frame 10 can still be stably connected and positioned to ensure the safe stacking of the garment processing equipment 200.
[0106] In some embodiments, the garment processing device has four support feet, and the support member 111 is rectangular in shape with a length direction. Pads are installed on the support member 111, and two mounting pads 30 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the support member 111. At least two support members 111 are adapted to the garment processing device with four support feet to ensure uniform support and shock absorption.
[0107] like Figure 4As shown, the mounting boss 12 extends along the length of the support member 111, and the first adhesive member 21 covers the boss surface 10a2. That is, the first adhesive member 21 can be in the shape of a strip. The mounting boss 12 provides an accurate bonding position for the first adhesive member 21. In a direction perpendicular to the length of the support member 111, the first adhesive member 21 and the second adhesive member 22 are parallel and spaced apart. That is, if at least two support members 111 are spaced apart in the front-back direction, then their length direction extends in the left-right direction, and the first adhesive member 21 and the second adhesive member 22 are parallel and spaced apart in the front-back direction; if at least two support members 111 are spaced apart in the left-right direction, then their length direction extends in the front-back direction, and the first adhesive member 21 and the second adhesive member 22 are parallel and spaced apart in the front-back direction.
[0108] The first adhesive 21 and the second adhesive 22 can both be 3M tape. Understandably, the first adhesive 21 is positioned closer to the sink 200a of the garment processing equipment 200 than the second adhesive 22. The thicknesses of the first adhesive 21 and the second adhesive 22 can be different to accommodate different bonding requirements. Along the vertical direction, the mounting boss 12 extends at least partially into the recessed platform 200a, so that the first adhesive member 21 is bonded to the bottom surface of the recessed platform 200a. A second adhesive member 22 of appropriate thickness is selected according to the portion of the mounting boss 12 protruding from the recessed platform 200a, and the second adhesive member 22 is bonded to the shoulder surface of the recessed platform 200a (i.e., the outer peripheral wall surface of the recessed platform 200a). The mounting pad 30 can also be selected with an appropriate thickness according to the installation gap 100a. The support bottom surface 10a1 and the top cover 210 of the lower garment processing equipment 200 can be in close contact. Through multiple bonding points, the stress can be distributed more evenly, reducing local stress concentration.
[0109] like Figure 8 As shown, to further improve the connection and fastening between the stacking support 100 and the lower garment processing device 200, in some embodiments, the support member 111 has multiple fixing grooves 111a on the side facing the upper garment processing device. Since the support member 111 is generally rectangular, the fixing grooves 111a can also be square grooves. The multiple fixing grooves 111a are arranged along the length of the support member 111, and two adjacent square grooves can share part of the groove wall. This design saves materials and optimizes the structural strength of the support member 111. The bottom wall of the fixing groove 111a is provided with a through hole 111b, which is used for fasteners to pass through, so that the fasteners can be connected to the lower garment processing device 200. The fastener can be a bolt. The diameter of the through hole 111b is adapted to the bolt shank, so that the bolt shank is inserted into the lower garment processing device 200, while the bolt head is located in the fixing groove 111a, so that the bolt head does not protrude from the surface of the support member 111, thereby avoiding the risk of possible scratches.
[0110] When the stacking bracket 100 is installed on the garment handling device 200, multiple through holes 111b at different positions can be provided along the length of the support member 111. Users can select the most suitable position to lock the fasteners in according to actual needs, thereby achieving the best fixing effect. This allows the stacking bracket 100 to adapt to garment handling devices 200 of different sizes and layouts, ensuring the stability of the connection between the stacking bracket 100 and the garment handling device 200.
[0111] like Figure 8 As shown, the through hole 111b can be one of the following shapes: round, elliptical, cross-shaped, oblong, or triangular. Taking the oblong hole as an example, this special hole shape can extend along the width direction of the support member 111, thus providing greater flexibility for fastener insertion. This means that during use, fasteners can not only be inserted into suitable through holes 111b along the length of the support member 111, but also further select the optimal connection position within the selected through hole 111b along the width direction of the oblong hole. This design greatly enhances connection flexibility, allowing installers to fine-tune the position of the fasteners according to the actual structure and usage requirements of the garment handling equipment 200, thereby achieving a more precise, secure, and reliable connection.
[0112] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, two support members 111 are provided, arranged spaced apart in the left-right direction and extending in the front-back direction. The support body 11 also includes a front panel 112, which is generally cuboid in shape. The front panel 112 is connected to the front side of the two support members 111, and the two ends facing away from the support members 111 are smoothly transitioned to avoid sharp corners that could cause safety issues. The two support members 111 can be connected to the two ends of the front panel 112, that is, the two support members 111 and the front panel 112 form a "Π" shape. The front panel 112 is connected to the front side of the upper garment processing device and the lower garment processing device 200, which can enhance the structural stability of the entire support body 11. Understandably, the front panel 112 is also used as a decorative panel, covering part of the structure between the two support members 111, making the appearance of the support frame 10 neater and more beautiful, and improving the overall visual effect of the product.
[0113] In this design, one of the front panel 112 and the support member 111 is provided with a snap-fit component 1121, and the other of the front panel 112 and the support member 111 is provided with a snap-fit groove 111c. The snap-fit component 1121 snaps into the snap-fit groove 111c. This snap-fit connection is a quick connection method. The user only needs to align the component with the snap-fit component 1121 with the component with the snap-fit groove 111c and apply a certain amount of force to complete the connection. No tools are required, greatly shortening the installation time and improving assembly efficiency.
[0114] Please continue reading. Figure 9 and Figure 10 Specifically, the fastener 1121 includes two spaced elastic fasteners 1121a, which can be disposed on the front panel 112. Correspondingly, a snap-fit groove 111c is formed on the support member 111. The snap-fit groove 111c includes a connecting guide section 111c1 and a snap-fit section 111c2. The guide section 111c1 is disposed closer to the front panel 112 than the snap-fit section 111c2, and the cross-sectional area of the guide section 111c1 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the snap-fit section 111c2. The snap-fit section 111c2 has an abutment wall. The elastic fasteners 1121a pass through the guide section 111c1 and abut against the abutment wall. Understandably, the two spaced elastic fasteners 1121a can move closer to each other under the action of external force from the user, thereby reducing the total width of the elastic fasteners 1121a and allowing them to easily extend into the guide section 111c1. Specifically, each elastic buckle 1121a includes an elastically deformable elastic arm 1121a2 and a snap-fit portion 1121a1 located at the end of the elastic arm 1121a2. When the user applies a pinching force to the two elastic arms 1121a2, the elastic arms 1121a2 deform, causing the two snap-fit portions 1121a1 to move closer together, reducing the distance between them to accommodate the smaller cross-sectional area of the guide section 111c1. When the external force disappears, the elastic arms 1121a2 return to their original shape due to their elasticity, and the distance between the two snap-fit portions 1121a1 also returns to normal. At this time, since the cross-sectional area of the snap-fit section 111c2 is larger than that of the guide section 111c1, the elastic buckle 1121a can smoothly enter the snap-fit section 111c2 along the guide section 111c1. After entering the locking section 111c2, the elastic buckle 1121a is reset, the elastic arm 1121a2 passes through the guide section 111c1, and the buckle part 1121a1 is located inside the locking section and abuts against the abutting wall to form a reliable mechanical lock.
[0115] Specifically, viewed from the bottom surface of the support body 11, the two support members 111 have opposing first sidewalls, and the support member 111 also has a second sidewall opposing the first sidewall. The mounting boss 12 is positioned closer to the first sidewall than the second sidewall. In other words, the opposing boss walls of the two mounting bosses 12 are roughly located in the same vertical plane as the first sidewall. The two second adhesive members 22 have mutually opposing adhesive surfaces, which are also roughly located in the same vertical plane as the second sidewall. Through holes 111b are arranged between the mounting bosses 12 and the second adhesive members 22 along the left-right direction. Furthermore, the two mounting pads 30 are positioned close to both ends of the support member 111 along its length, without interfering with the first adhesive member 21 and the second adhesive member 22.
[0116] In some embodiments, the front panel 112 has a relief groove 112a on the side facing the garment handling device. The main purpose of the relief groove 112a is to avoid protruding structures that may exist on the garment handling device, such as connecting screws, so that the front panel 112 will not interfere with the protrusions of the garment handling device, and also to make the front panel 112 fit the contour of the garment handling device better.
[0117] In some embodiments, the front panel 112 has a demolding groove (not shown) on the side facing the support member 111. Since the front panel 112 can be made of plastic, the demolding groove facilitates the injection molding and demolding process of the plastic part. The presence of the demolding groove makes it easier for the front panel 112 to be ejected from the mold after injection molding, avoiding demolding difficulties or mold damage caused by complex structures. The support body 11 also includes a plurality of spaced second reinforcing ribs (not shown). The plurality of spaced second reinforcing ribs are arranged along the length direction of the front panel 112 in the demolding groove, making full use of the space of the demolding groove. The second reinforcing ribs are integrally injection molded with the front panel 112. The provision of multiple second reinforcing ribs can improve the structural strength and rigidity of the front panel 112, making up for the shortcomings of insufficient strength of the plastic part itself. This makes the front panel 112 less prone to deformation or damage when subjected to the weight of the garment processing equipment and external impacts during daily use, thereby improving the overall stability and durability.
[0118] Since the second reinforcing rib is set in the demolding groove, and the opening of the demolding groove is set on the side facing the support member 111, it will not affect the appearance of the front panel 112, and maintain the simplicity and beauty of the front panel 112.
[0119] In some embodiments, the support body 11 further includes a rear side plate, which is disposed opposite to the front panel 112 in the front-rear direction and connected to the rear side of the two support members 111, making the support body 11 generally U-shaped, forming a stable frame structure that can better withstand the weight of the upper garment processing equipment and various forces generated during operation, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by external forces. The symmetrical design of the rear side plate and the front panel 112 makes the appearance of the support body 11 neater and more aesthetically pleasing, and improves the overall integrity of the upper garment processing equipment and the lower garment processing equipment 200 when viewed from the outer periphery of the garment processing device.
