Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, and in particular to a stacking bracket and a combined clothing processing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of garment processing device technology, the need for stacking garment processing devices has emerged in recent years. To stably stack two garment processing devices, stacking brackets have been developed. Specifically, by placing a stacking bracket between two garment processing devices, the purpose of stacking them can be achieved. However, the stacking brackets in related technologies suffer from inconvenience and slowness in both installing and removing the garment processing devices from the bracket. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application discloses a stacking bracket and a combined garment processing device, which makes it convenient and quick to detach or install the garment processing device from the stacking bracket.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application discloses a stacking support, comprising:

[0005] The support body, on which the following are provided:

[0006] A placement surface, the placement surface being used to connect to a first garment handling device;

[0007] The bearing surface is disposed opposite to the placement surface and is used to support the second clothing processing device. The second clothing processing device includes a first support leg and a device body, and the first support leg is disposed on the device body.

[0008] The first sliding groove includes a first sliding segment and a first slot segment connected in sequence. The first sliding segment and the first slot segment are arranged on the bearing surface. The first sliding segment is used to guide the first support foot to slide to the first slot segment. The first slot segment is used to restrict the movement of the first support foot in any direction other than the first slot segment pointing to the first sliding segment.

[0009] A connector is disposed on the bracket body. When the first support leg slides to the first slot section, the side wall of the device body abuts against the connector.

[0010] Fasteners are used to lock the device body to the connector to prevent the first support leg from sliding out of the first slot section along the direction of the first slot section pointing to the first sliding section.

[0011] Since the first sliding groove includes a first sliding section and a first slot section connected in sequence, and the first sliding section and the first slot section are arranged on the bearing surface, and since the bracket body is provided with a connector, when it is necessary to install the second clothing processing device on the stacking bracket, it is only necessary to first place the first support foot on the first sliding section, and then push the second clothing processing device along the direction from the first sliding section to the first slot section, so that the first support foot slides to the first slot section and the side wall of the device body abuts against the connector. Then, the device body is locked to the connector by fasteners, and the purpose of installing the second clothing processing device on the stacking bracket can be achieved.

[0012] When it is necessary to remove the second garment processing device from the stacking bracket, simply remove the fasteners to disconnect the device body from the connector, and then push the second garment processing device along the direction from the first slot section to the first sliding section, so that the first support leg slides from the first slot section to the first sliding section, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the second garment processing device from the stacking bracket. The installation and removal process is very convenient and quick.

[0013] Optionally, the first sliding segment and the first slot segment are arranged along the first direction on the placement surface, and the connector is located along the first direction on the side of the first slot segment opposite to the first sliding segment.

[0014] By positioning the connector along the first direction on the side of the first slot section away from the first sliding section, the connector can be positioned exactly on the sliding path of the second garment processing device along the first direction. In this way, during the process of pushing the second garment processing device along the first direction, the connector can just abut against the side wall of the device body along the first direction, making the layout of the connector more reasonable.

[0015] Optionally, a mounting hole is provided on the bearing surface, the connector is detachably mounted in the mounting hole and at least a portion of the connector protrudes from the bearing surface, and the sidewall of the device body abuts against the protruding portion of the connector along the first direction.

[0016] Since the connector is detachably installed in the mounting hole, when it is necessary to set the connector on the bracket body, it is only necessary to detachably install the connector in the mounting hole. Under the limiting and fixing effect of the mounting hole, the connector can be fixed to the bracket body. This method of setting the connector on the bracket body is very simple and can simplify the structure of stacked brackets and reduce the cost of stacked brackets.

[0017] Optionally, the connector includes:

[0018] A snap-fit ​​portion, wherein the snap-fit ​​portion is located on the side of the mounting hole opposite to the bearing surface and abuts against the side opposite to the bearing surface;

[0019] A connecting portion is connected to the snap-fit ​​portion and protrudes from the bearing surface through the mounting hole, and the side wall of the device body abuts against the connecting portion along the first direction.

[0020] Since the snap-fit ​​part is located on the side of the mounting hole away from the bearing surface and abuts against the side opposite to the bearing surface, when the side wall of the device body abuts against the connecting part in the first direction, the connecting part will have a tendency to tilt in the first direction. This tendency can generate abutting force between the snap-fit ​​part and the side opposite to the bearing surface. This abutting force can keep the connecting part stationary and prevent it from tilting. In this way, the force can be cleverly used to snap the connector into the mounting hole, thereby providing a structural guarantee for connecting the device body to the connecting part and fixing the second clothing processing device to the stacking bracket.

[0021] As can be seen, by positioning the snap-fit ​​part on the side of the mounting hole opposite to the bearing surface and abutting against the side opposite to the bearing surface, when the side wall of the device body abuts against the connecting part along the first direction, it is not necessary to connect the connector to the bracket body with screws. Instead, the connector can be snapped into the mounting hole by cleverly utilizing force, thereby achieving the purpose of connecting the connector to the bracket body. The method of connecting the connector to the bracket body is very simple and requires few auxiliary parts.

[0022] Optionally, the second garment handling device further includes a second support leg, which is disposed on the device body;

[0023] The bracket body is also provided with a second sliding groove. The second sliding groove includes a second sliding section and a second slot section connected sequentially along the first direction. When the first sliding section guides the first support foot to slide to the first slot section, the second sliding section guides the second support foot to slide to the second slot section. The second slot section is used to restrict the movement of the second support foot in directions other than the second slot section pointing to the second sliding section.

[0024] Since the second sliding segment guides the second support foot to slide to the second slot segment when the first sliding segment guides the second support foot to slide to the second slot segment, and the second slot segment can restrict the movement of the second support foot in any direction other than the direction from the second slot segment to the second sliding segment, that is, in addition to restricting the movement of the first support foot in any direction other than the direction from the first slot segment to the first sliding segment by the first slot segment, the movement of the second support foot in any direction other than the direction from the second slot segment to the second sliding segment can also be restricted by the second slot segment. In this way, on the one hand, it can achieve the purpose of more stably installing the second garment processing device on the stacking bracket. On the other hand, in addition to the first sliding segment guiding the first support foot, the second sliding segment can also guide the second support foot, thereby making the second garment processing device slide more smoothly when pushed along the first direction.

[0025] Optionally, the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove are arranged sequentially at intervals along the first direction on the bearing surface.

[0026] By arranging the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove sequentially at intervals along the first direction on the bearing surface, the arrangement direction of the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove can be the same as the pushing direction of the second clothing handling device. In this way, when the first support foot is placed in the first sliding section and the second support foot is placed in the second sliding section, when the second clothing handling device is pushed along the first direction, the first support foot can slide more smoothly along the first direction in the first sliding section, and the second support foot can also slide more smoothly along the first direction in the second sliding section, thereby making it easier to push the second clothing handling device along the first direction.

[0027] Optionally, at least one of the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove has an inclined section at the bottom, and the height of the inclined section at the bottom gradually decreases along the first direction.

[0028] As the height of the bottom of the inclined section gradually decreases along the first direction, when the second clothing processing device is pushed along the first direction, the gravity of the second clothing processing device can be decomposed into a component force along the first direction under the action of the bottom of the inclined section. This allows the personnel to push the second clothing processing device to slide along the first direction with less force, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the personnel.

[0029] Optionally, the bottom of the first sliding groove is a horizontal bottom, and the bottom of the second sliding groove has the inclined section.

[0030] Since the bottom of the first sliding groove is horizontal and the bottom of the second sliding groove has an inclined section, this avoids the situation where the entire second garment processing device tilts too much and falls over, compared to a situation where both the bottom of the first sliding groove and the bottom of the second sliding groove are inclined sections.

[0031] Optionally, the support body is further provided with:

[0032] A temporary storage cavity is provided, and the connector is detachably disposed in the temporary storage cavity. When the connector is detached from the temporary storage cavity, the connector is disposed on the support body to abut against the side wall of the device body.

[0033] Since the connector is detachably located in the storage cavity, the connector and the support body can be integrally formed before the second garment handling device is installed on the stacking bracket. This reduces the number of parts in the stacking bracket and facilitates its storage and transportation.

[0034] When it is necessary to install the second garment processing device on the stacking bracket, the connector can be detached from the temporary storage cavity and then inserted into the mounting hole to prepare for the installation of the second garment processing device on the stacking bracket.

[0035] Secondly, this application discloses a combined garment processing device, comprising:

[0036] First garment processing device;

[0037] The stacking support described in any of the first aspects above; and,

[0038] The second garment processing device has a stacking bracket located between the first garment processing device and the second garment processing device along the direction from the placement surface to the bearing surface, and the stacking bracket is connected to the first garment processing device and the second garment processing device respectively.

[0039] Because the stacking bracket makes it very convenient and quick to remove the second garment processing device from the stacking bracket or to install the second garment processing device on the stacking bracket, the installation and disassembly of the combined garment processing equipment can be made more convenient and more user-friendly.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0041] In this application, since the first sliding groove includes a first sliding section and a first slot section connected in sequence, and the first sliding section and the first slot section are arranged on the bearing surface, and since the bracket body is provided with a connector, when it is necessary to install the second clothing processing device on the stacking bracket, it is only necessary to first place the first support foot on the first sliding section, and then push the second clothing processing device along the direction of the first sliding section pointing to the first slot section, so that the first support foot slides to the first slot section and the side wall of the device body abuts against the connector, and then the device body is locked to the connector by fasteners, so as to achieve the purpose of installing the second clothing processing device on the stacking bracket.

[0042] When it is necessary to remove the second garment processing device from the stacking bracket, simply remove the fasteners to disconnect the device body from the connector, and then push the second garment processing device along the direction from the first slot section to the first sliding section, so that the first support leg slides from the first slot section to the first sliding section, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the second garment processing device from the stacking bracket. The installation and removal process is very convenient and quick. Attached Figure Description

[0071] Before explaining the technical solution of this application, the background technology of this application shall be explained first.

[0072] With the development of garment processing device technology, the need for stacking garment processing devices has emerged in recent years. To stably stack two garment processing devices, stacking brackets have been developed. Specifically, by placing a stacking bracket between two garment processing devices, the purpose of stacking them can be achieved. However, the stacking brackets in the related technology suffer from inconvenience and slowness in both installing and removing the garment processing devices from the stacking bracket. Therefore, this application provides a new stacking bracket to solve the above problems.

[0073] The technical solution of this application will be described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0074] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a stacking support 100 provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of the stacked support 100 from another perspective. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The stacking support 100 is a structural diagram of the combined garment processing equipment 1000.

[0075] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The stacking support 100 includes a support body 1, on which a placement surface 11 is provided. Figure 1 The bottom surface of the stacking support 100 and the placement surface 11 are used to connect to the first garment processing device 200.

[0076] The placement surface 11 can be a plane or any surface that can match the first clothing processing device 200; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0077] By setting the placement surface 11, it is beneficial for the stacking bracket 100 to be installed more stably on the first garment processing device 200 through the placement surface 11.

[0078] The stacking bracket 100 can be installed on the first garment processing device 200 by screws or any other possible means, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0079] The aforementioned first garment handling device 200 can be a washing machine. Specifically, when the first garment handling device 200 is a washing machine, the first garment handling device 200 can be as follows: Figure 3 The single-drum washing machine shown is an example.

[0080] Of course, the first garment processing device 200 can also be a shoe washing machine or a dryer, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0081] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support body 1 is also provided with a bearing surface 12, which is arranged opposite to the placement surface 11, and is used to support the second clothing processing device 300.

[0082] Since the bearing surface 12 and the placement surface 11 are arranged opposite to each other, when the bearing surface 12 carries the second clothing processing device 300, the second clothing processing device 300 and the first clothing processing device 200 can be stacked together by the stacking bracket 100. This allows the overall footprint of the second clothing processing device 300 and the first clothing processing device 200 to be smaller and make full use of the upper space, thereby achieving the purpose of saving floor space and making full use of the upper space.

[0083] The structure of the bearing surface 12 can be the same as or similar to that of the placement surface 11, which will not be described in detail here.

[0084] The aforementioned second garment handling device 300 can be a dryer or a washing machine, etc. When the second garment handling device 300 is a washing machine, specifically, the second garment handling device 300 can be as follows: Figure 3 The double-drum washing machine shown is of course a single-drum washing machine, etc., but this embodiment does not limit it.

[0085] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 An exploded view of a 1000-type modular garment processing machine. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the second garment processing device 300. (See attached diagram.) Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the second garment handling device 300 includes a support leg.

[0086] The number of supporting legs can be as follows: Figure 5 The four shown are examples of support legs. Of course, the number of support legs can also be six or eight, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0087] When there are four support legs and the surface of the second garment handling device 300 used to set the support legs is rectangular, the support legs can be set approximately close to the four corners of the rectangle. In this way, the second garment handling device 300 can be supported more stably.

[0088] When the second garment processing device 300 also includes a support foot, on the one hand, the support foot can stably install the second garment processing device 300 on the stacking bracket 100. On the other hand, when the support foot is a flexible support foot, it can also play a role in shock absorption and noise reduction, making the second garment processing device 300 run more smoothly and quietly.

[0089] Specifically, the support foot may include a first support foot 301, and the second clothing handling device 300 also includes a device body 302, with the first support foot 301 disposed on the device body 302.

[0090] The number of first support legs 301 can be two. Of course, the number of first support legs 301 can also be other values; this embodiment does not limit this. Figure 5 Taking the second garment processing device 300 as an example, the first support leg 301 mentioned above are the two support legs of the second garment processing device 300 near the front. The shape of the device body 302 mentioned above is a cube or cuboid, etc., and the shape of the device body 302 is not limited in this embodiment.

[0091] The aforementioned first support foot 301 can be disposed at the bottom of the device body 302.

[0092] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is an exploded view of the combined garment processing device 1000 in section 4 from another perspective. The support body 1 is also provided with a first sliding groove 13, which includes a first sliding segment 131 and a first locking segment 132 connected in sequence. The first sliding segment 131 and the first locking segment 132 are arranged on the bearing surface 12. The first sliding segment 131 guides the first support leg 301 to slide to the first locking segment 132, and the first locking segment 132 restricts the first support leg 301 from pointing towards the first sliding segment 131 except for the first locking segment 132. Figure 1 Movement in directions other than the Y-axis.

[0093] Since the first support leg 301 slides from the first sliding section 131 to the first slot section 132, the first slot section 132 can restrict the movement of the first support leg 301 in any direction other than the first slot section 132 pointing to the first sliding section 131. Therefore, the cooperation between the first slot section 132 and the first support leg 301 can achieve the initial fixation of the entire second clothing processing device 300.

[0094] It should be noted that the number of the first sliding grooves 13 can be the same as the number of the first support feet 301. When there are two first support feet 301, there can also be two first sliding grooves 13.

[0095] Of course, the first sliding groove 13 can also be of other possible numbers, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0096] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 yes Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of the combined garment processing equipment 1000 shown in the image from another perspective. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 The combined garment processing device 1000 is shown in a partial enlarged view at position A (fastener 3 is locked to connector 2). The stacking bracket 100 also includes connector 2, which is disposed on the bracket body 1. When the first support leg 301 slides to the first slot section 132, the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against connector 2.

[0097] Since the connector 2 is located on the bracket body 1, and when the first support leg 301 slides to the first slot section 132, the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against the connector 2, the connector 2 can limit the movement of the device body 302, thereby ensuring the installation accuracy of the second clothing processing device 300 on the stacking bracket 100. On the other hand, it can also help determine whether the second clothing processing device 300 is installed in place on the stacking bracket 100. Specifically, when the user installs the second clothing processing device 300 onto the stacking bracket 100, the second clothing processing device 300 is considered to be installed in place on the stacking bracket 100 when the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against the connector 2 and the first support leg 301 can no longer slide along the direction of the first sliding section 131 pointing to the first slot section 132.

[0098] It should be noted that the aforementioned side wall 3021 can be the rear side wall, front side wall, or left and right side walls of the second clothing handling device 300, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0099] When the side wall 3021 is the rear side wall of the second clothing processing device 300, the situation where the connector 2 affects the appearance of the second clothing processing device 300 can be avoided, thereby improving the appearance of the second clothing processing device 300.

[0100] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 9 yes Figure 7The enlarged view of the combined garment processing device 1000 at position A (fastener 3 removed from connector 2) shows that the stacking bracket 100 also includes fastener 3, which is used to lock the device body 302 to connector 2 to limit the direction of the first support leg 301 from pointing along the first slot section 132 to the first sliding section 131. Figure 1 (In the positive direction of the Y-axis) slide out of the first slot section 132.

[0101] With the first slot section 132 restricting the movement of the first support leg 301 in any direction other than the first slot section 132 pointing towards the first sliding section 131, the device body 302 is locked to the connector 2 by the fastener 3. Under the locking action of the fastener 3, the first support leg 301 can be restricted from sliding out of the first slot section 132 in the direction of the first slot section 132 pointing towards the first sliding section 131, thereby achieving the purpose of completely fixing the entire second clothing processing device 300 to the stacking bracket 100.

[0102] As can be seen, since the first sliding groove 13 includes a first sliding section 131 and a first slot section 132 connected in sequence, and the first sliding section 131 and the first slot section 132 are arranged on the bearing surface 12, and since the bracket body 1 is provided with a connector 2, when it is necessary to install the second clothing processing device 300 on the stacking bracket 100, it is only necessary to first place the first support foot 301 on the first sliding section 131, and then push the second clothing processing device 300 along the direction of the first sliding section 131 pointing to the first slot section 132, so that the first support foot 301 slides to the first slot section 132 and the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against the connector 2, and then the device body 302 is locked to the connector 2 by the fastener 3, so that the purpose of installing the second clothing processing device 300 on the stacking bracket 100 can be achieved.

[0103] When it is necessary to remove the second garment processing device 300 from the stacking bracket 100, simply remove the fastener 3 to disengage the device body 302 from the connector 2, and then push the second garment processing device 300 along the direction from the first slot section 132 to the first sliding section 131, so that the first support foot 301 slides from the first slot section 132 to the first sliding section 131, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the second garment processing device 300 from the stacking bracket 100. The installation and removal process is very convenient and quick.

[0104] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4The stacking support 100 includes a support body 1, a connector 2, and fasteners 3. The support body 1 has a placement surface 11, a bearing surface 12, and a first sliding groove 13. The placement surface 11 is used to connect to the first garment processing device 200. The bearing surface 12 is disposed opposite to the placement surface 11 and is used to support the second garment processing device 300. The second garment processing device 300 includes a first support leg 301 and a device body 302. The first sliding groove 13 includes a first sliding segment 131 and a first slot segment 132 connected in sequence. The first sliding segment 131 and the first slot segment 132 are arranged on the bearing surface 12. The first sliding segment 131 is used to guide the first support leg 301 to slide to the first slot segment 132. The first slot segment 132 is used to restrict the movement of the first support leg 301 in any direction other than the first slot segment 132 pointing towards the first sliding segment 131.

[0105] See Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The connector 2 is disposed on the bracket body 1. When the first support leg 301 slides to the first slot section 132, the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against the connector 2. The fastener 3 is used to lock the device body 302 to the connector 2 to restrict the first support leg 301 from sliding out of the first slot section 132 along the direction of the first slot section 132 pointing to the first sliding section 131.

[0106] In this embodiment, since the first sliding groove 13 includes a first sliding section 131 and a first slot section 132 connected in sequence, and the first sliding section 131 and the first slot section 132 are arranged on the bearing surface 12, and since the bracket body 1 is provided with a connector 2, when it is necessary to install the second clothing processing device 300 on the stacking bracket 100, it is only necessary to first place the first support foot 301 on the first sliding section 131, and then push the second clothing processing device 300 along the direction of the first sliding section 131 pointing to the first slot section 132, so that the first support foot 301 slides to the first slot section 132 and the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against the connector 2, and then the device body 302 is locked to the connector 2 by the fastener 3, so that the purpose of installing the second clothing processing device 300 on the stacking bracket 100 can be achieved.

[0107] When it is necessary to remove the second garment processing device 300 from the stacking bracket 100, simply remove the fastener 3 to disengage the device body 302 from the connector 2, and then push the second garment processing device 300 along the direction from the first slot section 132 to the first sliding section 131, so that the first support foot 301 slides from the first slot section 132 to the first sliding section 131, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the second garment processing device 300 from the stacking bracket 100. The installation and removal process is very convenient and quick.

[0108] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The first sliding section 131 and the first slot section 132 are along the first direction ( Figure 1 The connectors (in the negative direction of the Y-axis) are arranged on the placement surface 11, and the connectors 2 are located on the side of the first slot section 132 away from the first sliding section 131 along the first direction.

[0109] By positioning the connector 2 along the first direction on the side of the first slot section 132 away from the first sliding section 131, the connector 2 can be positioned exactly on the sliding path of the second clothing processing device 300 along the first direction. In this way, during the process of pushing the second clothing processing device 300 along the first direction, the connector 2 can just abut against the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 along the first direction, making the layout of the connector 2 more reasonable.

[0110] There are several ways in which the aforementioned connector 2 can be disposed on the bracket body 1. In one possible implementation, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of the stacked support 100. Figure 11 yes Figure 1 The enlarged view of the stacking bracket 100 at position B shows that the bearing surface 12 is provided with mounting holes 121, the connector 2 is detachably installed in the mounting holes 121 and at least part of the connector 2 protrudes from the bearing surface 12, and the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against the protruding part of the connector 2 along the first direction.

[0111] Since the connector 2 is detachably installed in the mounting hole 121, when it is necessary to set the connector 2 on the bracket body 1, it is only necessary to detachably install the connector 2 in the mounting hole 121. Under the limiting and fixing effect of the mounting hole 121, the connector 2 can be fixed to the bracket body 1. This way of setting the connector 2 on the bracket body 1 is very simple, which can simplify the structure of the stacked bracket 100 and reduce the cost of the stacked bracket 100.

[0112] The shape of the mounting hole 121 can be rectangular or circular, etc., and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0113] Of course, the connector 2 can also be set to the bracket body 1 in other ways. For example, the connector 2 can also be set to the bracket body 1 by screws. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0114] Furthermore, by making the connector 2 detachably installed in the mounting hole 121, the connector 2 can be installed in the mounting hole 121 when it is needed, and can be detached from the mounting hole 121 when it is not needed, which is very flexible.

[0115] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 The mounting hole 121 is located near the periphery of the bearing surface 12.

[0116] By positioning the mounting hole 121 close to the periphery of the bearing surface 12, the impact of the mounting hole 121 on the integrity of the bearing surface 12 can be minimized, allowing the bearing surface 12 to have a larger area available for supporting the second clothing processing device 300, thereby enabling the second clothing processing device 300 to be stably connected to the bearing surface 12.

[0117] Specifically, see Figure 10 The mounting hole 121 can be set close to the rear periphery of the bearing surface 12.

[0118] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 12 yes Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the structure of the connecting member 2 is shown. The connecting member 2 includes a snap-fit ​​part 21 and a connecting part 22. The snap-fit ​​part 21 is located on the side of the mounting hole 121 away from the bearing surface 12 and abuts against the side opposite to the bearing surface 12. The connecting part 22 is connected to the snap-fit ​​part 21 and protrudes from the bearing surface 12 through the mounting hole 121. The side wall 3021 of the device body 302 is along the first direction ( Figure 9 (In the positive direction of the Y-axis) it abuts against the connecting part 22.

[0119] Since the snap-fit ​​part 21 is located on the side of the mounting hole 121 away from the bearing surface 12 and abuts against the side opposite to the bearing surface 12, when the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against the connecting part 22 in the first direction, the connecting part 22 will have a tendency to tilt in the first direction. This tendency can generate abutting force between the snap-fit ​​part 21 and the side opposite to the bearing surface 12. This abutting force can keep the connecting part 22 stationary and prevent it from tilting. In this way, the connecting piece 2 can be cleverly snapped into the mounting hole 121 by the force, thereby providing a structural guarantee for the subsequent connection of the device body 302 to the connecting part 22, and thus fixing the second clothing processing device 300 to the stacking bracket 100.

[0120] As can be seen, by positioning the snap-fit ​​part 21 on the side of the mounting hole 121 opposite to the bearing surface 12 and abutting against the side opposite to the bearing surface 12, when the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against the connecting part 22 in the first direction, it is not necessary to connect the connecting piece 2 to the bracket body 1 with screws. Instead, the connecting piece 2 can be snapped into the mounting hole 121 by cleverly utilizing the force, thereby achieving the purpose of connecting the connecting piece 2 to the bracket body 1. The method of connecting the connecting piece 2 to the bracket body 1 is very simple and requires few auxiliary parts.

[0121] In order to increase the abutting force generated by the side of the latching part 21 opposite to the bearing surface 12, and thus better ensure that the connecting part 22 remains stationary when the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against the connecting part 22 in the first direction, in some embodiments, see Figure 10 and Figure 11 The snap-fit ​​portion 21 is in the opposite direction to the first direction ( Figure 10 The connecting part 22 extends along the positive Y-axis direction, and points from the placement surface 11 to the bearing surface 12. Figure 10 Extending in the positive direction of the Z-axis.

[0122] Since the snap-fit ​​portion 21 extends in the opposite direction to the first direction and the connecting portion 22 extends in the direction from the placement surface 11 to the bearing surface 12, when the side wall 3021 of the device body 302 abuts against the connecting portion 22 in the first direction, the abutting force generated by the side of the snap-fit ​​portion 21 opposite to the bearing surface 12 can be greater, thereby better ensuring that the connecting portion 22 can remain stationary.

[0123] Since the snap-fit ​​portion 21 extends in the opposite direction to the first direction and the connecting portion 22 extends in the direction from the placement surface 11 to the bearing surface 12, the connector 2 can be roughly formed into an L-shaped structure.

[0124] Both the aforementioned snap-fit ​​portion 21 and connecting portion 22 can be as follows: Figure 12 The plate-like structure shown can be modified by other shapes, such as the snap-fit ​​part 21 and the connecting part 22. This embodiment does not limit the shape of the plate-like structure shown.

[0125] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 and Figure 12 The connecting part 22 is provided with a direction along the first direction ( Figure 9 The through hole 221 (in the Y-axis direction) passes through the connecting part 22, and part of the fastener 3 passes through the through hole 221 and is connected to the side wall 3021 of the device body 302.

[0126] Since a portion of the fastener 3 passes through the through hole 221 and connects to the side wall 3021 of the device body 302, the connecting portion 22 is clamped between the side wall 3021 and the fastener 3, thereby achieving the purpose of connecting the device body 302 to the connecting portion 22. This principle of connecting the device body 302 to the connecting portion 22 is very simple and technically mature, thereby improving the reliability of connecting the device body 302 to the connecting portion 22 and reducing the cost required to connect the device body 302 to the connecting portion 22.

[0127] The fastener 3 can be a screw or any other possible structure, as long as it can connect the device body 302 to the connecting part 22. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0128] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 13 , Figure 13 yes Figure 1 The enlarged view of the stacked bracket at position C shows that the first slot section 132 includes a limiting slot bottom 1321 and a protruding edge 1322. The protruding edge 1322 is disposed on the slot wall of the first sliding slot 13 and is spaced apart from the limiting slot bottom 1321 to form a limiting gap 1320. The first support foot 301 is limited to the limiting gap 1320.

[0129] Since the protruding edge 1322 is provided on the groove wall of the first sliding groove 13 and forms a limiting gap 1320 with the bottom of the limiting groove 1321, when the second clothing handling device 300 is pushed along the direction from the first sliding section 131 to the first slot section 132, the first support foot 301 will be stuck in the limiting gap 1320 when it slides from the first sliding section 131 to the first slot section 132, thereby achieving the purpose of stably installing the first support foot 301 on the stacking bracket 100.

[0130] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second garment handling device 300 also includes a second support leg 303, and the bracket body 1 is further provided with a second sliding groove 14, the second sliding groove 14 including a first direction ( Figure 1 The second sliding segment 141 and the second slot segment 142 are connected sequentially in the negative direction of the Y-axis. When the first sliding segment 131 guides the first support foot 301 to slide to the first slot segment 132, the second sliding segment 141 guides the second support foot 303 to slide to the second slot segment 142. The second slot segment 142 is used to restrict the second support foot 303 from pointing to the second sliding segment 141 except that the second slot segment 142 points to the second sliding segment 141. Figure 1 Movement in directions other than the negative direction of the Y-axis.

[0131] Since when the first sliding segment 131 guides the first support foot 301 to slide to the first slot segment 132, the second sliding segment 141 guides the second support foot 303 to slide to the second slot segment 142. Furthermore, the second slot segment 142 can restrict the movement of the second support foot 303 in any direction other than the direction from the second slot segment 142 to the second sliding segment 141. That is, in addition to restricting the movement of the first support foot 301 in any direction other than the direction from the first slot segment 132 to the first sliding segment 131 by the first slot segment 132, the second slot segment 142 can also restrict the movement of the second support foot 303. The movement of the support foot 303 in directions other than the second slot section 142 pointing towards the second sliding section 141 serves two purposes: firstly, it allows for a more stable installation of the second garment handling device 300 onto the stacking bracket 100; secondly, in addition to the first sliding section 131 guiding the first support foot 301, the second sliding section 141 also guides the second support foot 303, thereby enabling the second garment handling device 300 to slide more smoothly when pushed along the first direction.

[0132] The number of the aforementioned second support legs 303 can be as follows: Figure 4 The two shown are examples of this embodiment. Of course, the number of second support feet 303 can also be other possible values, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0133] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The first sliding groove 13 and the second sliding groove 14 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the first direction on the bearing surface 12.

[0134] By arranging the first sliding groove 13 and the second sliding groove 14 sequentially at intervals along the first direction on the bearing surface 12, the arrangement direction of the first sliding groove 13 and the second sliding groove 14 can be the same as the pushing direction of the second clothing handling device 300. In this way, when the first support foot 301 is placed in the first sliding section 131 and the second support foot 303 is placed in the second sliding section 141, when the second clothing handling device 300 is pushed along the first direction, the first support foot 301 can slide more smoothly along the first direction in the first sliding section 131, and the second support foot 303 can also slide more smoothly along the first direction in the second sliding section 141, thereby making it easier to push the second clothing handling device 300 along the first direction.

[0135] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 14 , Figure 14 yes Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of the stacking support 100 at position D, showing that at least one of the first sliding groove 13 and the second sliding groove 14 has an inclined bottom section 140 along the first direction ( Figure 1(In the negative Y-axis direction), the height of the bottom of the inclined section of the groove gradually decreases by 140 degrees.

[0136] As the height of the inclined section bottom 140 gradually decreases along the first direction, when the second clothing processing device 300 is pushed along the first direction, the gravity of the second clothing processing device 300 can be decomposed into a component force along the first direction under the action of the inclined section bottom 140. This allows personnel to push the second clothing processing device 300 to slide along the first direction with less effort, thereby reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0137] In some embodiments, the bottom of the first sliding groove 13 is a horizontal bottom, and the bottom of the second sliding groove 14 has an inclined section bottom 140.

[0138] Since the bottom of the first sliding groove 13 is horizontal and the bottom of the second sliding groove 14 has an inclined section 140, this avoids the situation where the entire second clothing processing device 300 tilts too much and falls over, compared to the situation where the bottoms of both the first sliding groove 13 and the second sliding groove 14 are inclined sections 140.

[0139] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 15 , Figure 15 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the stacked support 100 when the connector 2 is disposed in the temporary storage cavity 15. The support body 1 is also provided with a temporary storage cavity 15. The connector 2 is detachably disposed in the temporary storage cavity 15. When the connector 2 is detached from the temporary storage cavity 15, the connector 2 is disposed on the support body 1 to abut against the side wall 3021 of the device body 302.

[0140] Since the connector 2 is detachably disposed in the temporary storage cavity 15, the connector 2 and the support body 1 can be integrally formed before the second clothing processing device 300 is installed on the stacking bracket 100, thereby reducing the number of parts of the stacking bracket 100 and facilitating the storage and transportation of the stacking bracket 100.

[0141] When it is necessary to install the second garment processing device 300 on the stacking bracket 100, the connector 2 can be detached from the temporary storage cavity 15, and then the connector 2 can be inserted into the mounting hole 121, which will prepare for the installation of the second garment processing device 300 on the stacking bracket 100.

[0142] The shape of the temporary storage cavity 15 can be rectangular or any other possible shape, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0143] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 and Figure 16 , Figure 16 yes Figure 15 An exploded view of a stacked support 100 shows that the support body 1 includes a main support 16 and a detachable support 17. The two opposite sides of the main support 16 are the placement surface 11 and the bearing surface 12, and the two opposite sides of the detachable support 17 are the first surface 171 and the second surface 172. The splicing of the detachable support 17 and the main support 16 can be at least in a first splicing state and a second splicing state.

[0144] When the detachable bracket 17 is in the first splicing state, the first surface 171 and the placement surface 11 face the same direction and are coplanar. When the detachable bracket 17 is in the second splicing state, the second surface 172 and the placement surface 11 face the same direction but are not coplanar.

[0145] When the detachable bracket 17 is in the first splicing state, the first surface 171 and the placement surface 11 face the same direction and are coplanar. When the detachable bracket 17 is in the second splicing state, the second surface 172 and the placement surface 11 face the same direction but are not coplanar. Therefore, when it is necessary to install the stacking bracket 100 on the first clothing processing device 200 with a relatively flat top surface, the detachable bracket 17 can be in the first splicing state. At this time, the first surface 171 and the placement surface 11 face the same direction and are coplanar. Therefore, the large flat surface formed by the first surface 171 and the placement surface 11 can fit well with the top surface of the first clothing processing device 200, so that the stacking bracket 100 can be stably installed on the top surface of the first clothing processing device 200.

[0146] When it is necessary to install the stacking bracket 100 on the first garment processing device 200 with an uneven top surface, for example, when the top surface of the first garment processing device 200 is a stepped surface, the detachable bracket 17 can be in a second splicing state. At this time, the second surface 172 and the placement surface 11 face the same direction but are not coplanar. Therefore, the large plane formed by the second surface 172 and the placement surface 11 can be a stepped surface. This stepped surface can fit well with the top surface of the first garment processing device 200 without being suspended. Thus, the stacking bracket 100 can be stably installed on the top surface of the first garment processing device 200.

[0147] It can be seen that by allowing the detachable bracket 17 to switch between the first splicing state and the second splicing state, the stacking bracket 100 can be adapted to the top surface of different first garment processing devices 200, thus achieving higher compatibility.

[0148] Specifically, when the second surface 172 and the placement surface 11 face the same direction but are not coplanar, the second surface 172 can protrude from the placement surface 11 or be recessed into the placement surface 11. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0149] For example, in some scenarios, the circumference of the top surface of the first garment processing device 200 protrudes more than the center. In such scenarios, the detachable bracket 17 can be in a second splicing state with its second surface 172 protruding from the placement surface 11. In this way, when the stacking bracket 100 is installed on the top surface of the first garment processing device 200, the placement surface 11 of the main bracket 16 can be positioned to correspond to the circumference of the top surface, and the second surface 172 of the detachable bracket 17 can correspond to the center of the first garment processing device 200. In this way, the placement surface 11 of the main bracket 16 can fit with the circumference of the top surface of the first garment processing device 200, and the second surface 172 of the detachable bracket 17 can fit with the center of the first garment processing device 200, without any suspension. This allows the stacking bracket 100 to be stably installed on the top surface of the first garment processing device 200.

[0150] This application also provides a combined garment processing device 1000, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The combined garment processing equipment 1000 includes a first garment processing device 200, a stacking support 100, and a second garment processing device 300, wherein the stacking support 100 is positioned along the placement surface 11 towards the bearing surface 12. Figure 3 The stacking bracket 100 is located between the first garment processing device 200 and the second garment processing device 300 in the Z-axis direction, and is connected to the first garment processing device 200 and the second garment processing device 300 respectively.

[0151] The structure of the stacking bracket 100 can be the same as that of any of the stacking brackets 100 described in the above embodiments, and can bring the same or similar beneficial effects. For details, please refer to the description in the above embodiments. This embodiment will not repeat the description here.

[0152] In this embodiment, since the stacking bracket 100 makes it very convenient and quick to remove the second clothing processing device 300 from the stacking bracket 100 or to install the second clothing processing device 300 on the stacking bracket 100, the installation and removal of the combined clothing processing device 1000 can be made more convenient and more user-friendly.

[0153] In some embodiments, the first clothing processing device 200 may be a single-drum washing machine and the second clothing processing device 300 may be a twin-drum washing machine. Of course, the first clothing processing device 200 and the second clothing processing device 300 may also be other possible clothing processing devices, and this embodiment does not limit them.

[0154] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
