[0031] This application provides a garment processing demonstration device that mimics the garment processing equipment used in finished products. Please refer to... Figure 1 The clothing processing demonstration equipment includes a cabinet 10 and a display device 30.

[0032] The housing 10 is designed to mimic the shape of the outer shell of a garment processing device. In other words, from an external perspective, the outline of the housing 10 is the same as or similar to the outer shell of a finished garment processing device.

[0033] In this embodiment of the application, the garment processing equipment refers to the garment processing equipment for finished products, which is equipment that can perform functions such as garment washing and care.

[0034] The housing 10 includes a front panel 12 having an opening 10a that is at least partially arc-shaped. That is, the outline of the opening 10a is at least partially arc-shaped. The shape of the opening 10a can be circular, semi-circular, elliptical, or other shapes.

[0035] In some embodiments, the opening 10a can be a blind hole, that is, the opening 10a does not penetrate the front panel 12. For example, the opening 10a is formed by a partial inward recess of the front panel 12.

[0036] In other embodiments, the opening 10a may also be a through hole, that is, the opening 10a penetrates the front panel 12.

[0037] For example, the outline shape of the opening 10a can mimic the shape of the garment loading and unloading port of a finished garment handling device.

[0038] It should be noted that the material of the casing 10 is not limited; it can be plastic or metal.

[0039] In some embodiments, the housing 10 can utilize the outer shell of an existing garment processing device. This eliminates the need for a separate mold for manufacturing the housing 10.

[0040] The display device 30 has a display area 30a, which refers to the part of the display device 30 used for display. For example, the display device 30 includes a screen, and the area on the screen that can be imaged is the display area 30a.

[0041] In the orthographic projection of the plane containing the display area 30a, at least a portion of the display area 30a is located within the opening 10a. That is, at least a portion of the display area 30a is displayed in the external field of view of the garment handling demonstration device through the opening 10a and can be seen by an observer.

[0042] For example, display area 30a is used to display garment processing information. The aforementioned garment processing information refers to visual information about the garment processing process (such as washing, drying, and dehydration) displayed according to certain rules. Such visual information can be used to demonstrate to the observer the function of the garment processing equipment, the principle of garment processing, and the advantages of the garment processing equipment.

[0043] In one embodiment, the display device 30 uses a display screen, such as an LCD (liquid crystal display) or an OLED (organic light-emitting diode).

[0044] The garment processing demonstration device of this application embodiment is designed for easy display in places such as exhibitions and retail stores. The appearance of the housing 10 is the same as or similar to the outer shell of the garment processing device. Furthermore, since it does not require the inclusion of components such as the cylindrical assembly, the garment processing demonstration device is relatively lightweight, easy to transport, and low in cost. Moreover, it can display information that users are generally interested in, or information that highlights the features of the garment processing device, allowing users to intuitively understand the device.

[0045] In the prior art, clothing handling equipment is equipped with a door that can rotate to open or close the clothing loading and unloading port of the clothing handling equipment.

[0046] In this embodiment of the application, since the clothing processing demonstration device does not require actual clothing washing and care, in some embodiments, the clothing processing demonstration device is not equipped with a door for opening or closing the opening 10a.

[0047] Thus, compared to finished garment processing equipment, garment processing demonstration equipment has no doors, making its structure simpler, lighter, and easier to move, thereby further reducing costs.

[0048] Based on the main technical concept of not requiring a door, in some embodiments of this application, the opening 10a is exposed to the external environment of the clothing processing demonstration device; or, the clothing processing demonstration device includes a covering portion that covers the opening 10a and the portion covering the opening 10a is at least partially translucent.

[0049] The fact that opening 10a is exposed to the external environment of the garment processing demonstration device means that there are no structural components to block the outside of opening 10a, i.e., there is no door to block it. This makes the structure of the garment processing demonstration device simpler and the cost lower.

[0050] In the case of a clothing handling demonstration device including a cover, the cover prevents users or other structures from directly touching the display area 30a, thus protecting the display area 30a. Furthermore, the cover is light-transmitting in the areas where display is needed, allowing observers to view the content displayed in the display area 30a through the cover. It should be noted that the cover is not a door. Additionally, when the opening 10a is a through hole and the cover covers the edge of the opening 10a, the cover also prevents the edge of the opening 10a from scratching others.

[0051] The part of the cover located outside the display area 30a can be light-transmitting; of course, it can also be light-shielded by means of coating, screen printing, etc.

[0052] For example, the cover is in the form of a plate or a film, and is laminated on the front surface of the front panel. The outline shape of the cover can be made into any desired shape.

[0053] In some embodiments, the covering portion can be a flexible membrane or a rigid plate. A flexible membrane refers to a membrane that can be bent, with a thickness of 0.1 mm to 1 mm, or other thicknesses. The flexible membrane can be PVC (polyvinyl chloride) membrane, PE (polyethylene) membrane, TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) membrane, EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) membrane, etc.

[0054] Rigid panels refer to rigid structures, such as glass panels and rigid plastic panels.

[0055] In some embodiments, the projection of the opening 10a onto the plane containing the display area 30a of the display device 30 does not exceed the projection of the display area 30a. In this embodiment, the display area 30a can completely overlap with the opening 10a, that is, the outline of the display area 30a coincides with the outline of the opening 10a. Of course, the display area 30a and the opening 10a can also partially overlap, with the other part not overlapping, that is, in the projection onto the plane containing the display area 30a, part of the projection of the display area 30a is within the range of the opening 10a, and part of the projection is outside the range of the opening 10a.

[0056] In this embodiment, the opening 10a can be fully displayed, making full use of the size of the opening 10a, resulting in a large display area and better display effect.

[0057] In some specific embodiments, the outline of the display area coincides with the outline of the opening 10a.

[0058] In some embodiments, the display device 30 includes a screen, which is circular or rectangular. Circular or rectangular screens are standard shapes, and their manufacturing processes are relatively mature and simple, which can effectively reduce costs.

[0059] In some embodiments, the display device 30 rests against the inner surface of the front panel 12, and the edge of the opening 10a rests against the display area 30a. Thus, the display device 30 can be used to block the opening 10a, and the gap between the display device 30 and the edge of the opening 10a is very small or almost invisible, so the user cannot see the inside of the enclosure 10 from the outside of the simulation enclosure. Therefore, no other structure is needed to cover the edge of the opening 10a. In this embodiment, the display device 30 can be mounted on the enclosure 10.

[0060] In other embodiments, the display device 30 is disposed in the opening 10a. That is, the display device 30 is neither attached to the front surface of the front panel 12 nor to the rear surface of the front panel 12, but is accommodated in the opening 10a.

[0061] In some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The garment handling demonstration device includes a bracket 40, which is housed within the casing 10, and a display device 30 is mounted on the bracket 40. That is, the display device 30 is not directly fixed to the casing 10. The bracket 40 provides support for the display device 30, facilitating its installation and fixation.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 10 includes two side plates 11 arranged opposite each other along the left-right direction of the housing 10 assembly. The bracket 40 is connected to the corresponding side plates 11 at its opposite ends along the left-right direction of the housing 10. That is, the left end of the bracket 40 is connected to the left side plate 11, and the right end of the bracket 40 is connected to the right side plate 11. The bracket 40 is supported by the side plates 11, which helps improve the structural strength of the housing 10 and also facilitates fixing the plane containing the display area 30a of the display device 30 in a vertical or near-vertical plane, making display easier.

[0063] For example, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 10 also includes a rear panel 13 of a front panel 12 arranged opposite each other in the front-rear direction, and a top panel 14 arranged opposite each other in the height direction (see...). Figure 1 The rear plate 13 and the two side plates 11 are integral sheet metal structures. The front plate 12 is assembled on the front side of the two side plates 11. In such embodiments, the bracket 40 is connected to the two side plates 11 to facilitate the installation of the bracket 40. It can be understood that the front plate 12 is assembled after the bracket 40 is assembled.

[0064] The structure of the bracket 40 is not limited, as long as it can fix the display device 30. For example, the bracket 40 is grid-shaped and supported inside the cabinet 10, and the display device 30 is fixed to the bracket 40 by bolts or other fasteners.

[0065] For example, please refer to [link / reference] again. Figure 2The bracket 40 has insertion channels 40a formed at opposite ends of the housing 10 assembly in the left-right direction. The display device 30 is inserted into the insertion channels 40a at opposite ends in the left-right direction. In this embodiment, the surrounding structure of the insertion channels 40a limits the display device 30, restricting its degrees of freedom in the front-back and left-right directions. The limitation of the display device 30 in the height direction of the housing 10 assembly can be achieved by the weight of the display device 30 itself, or by fastening with fasteners. In this embodiment, the display device 30 can be easily installed on the bracket 40 through insertion. It is understood that the disassembly of the display device 30 is also relatively convenient, which is beneficial for the maintenance and replacement of the display device 30.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The garment processing demonstration device also includes an operation unit 50 and a controller (not shown in the figure), with the operation unit 50 located in the housing 10.

[0067] Both the operation unit 50 and the display device 30 are signal-connected to the controller. In this embodiment, signal connection means that there is signal interaction; the two can interact directly or indirectly through other components. For example, in some embodiments, signal connection is achieved through circuitry. In other embodiments, signal connection can be achieved through wireless communication technologies, such as Bluetooth, WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), NFC (Near Field Communication), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Infrared Communication (IRC), etc., without limitation.

[0068] The operation unit 50 is used to input selection commands, wherein the selection command includes selecting one of a plurality of clothing processing options. The controller is used to control the display device 30 to display clothing processing display information corresponding to the currently selected clothing processing option according to the selection command.

[0069] For example, there is a mapping relationship between clothing processing options, clothing processing modes, and clothing processing display information. That is, each clothing processing mode has corresponding clothing processing display information and clothing processing options. Different clothing processing modes have different clothing processing display information and different clothing processing options.

[0070] The same clothing processing display information can correspond to one or more clothing processing display information.

[0071] The garment processing mode refers to the main washing and care information of the garment processing equipment. For example, garment processing modes include blue oxygen color protection wash, wool wash, steam care, 6D airflow drying, etc. The options refer to the names or icons corresponding to the garment processing modes, allowing users to visually understand the corresponding garment processing mode.

[0072] For example, when the operation unit 50 selects the blue oxygen color protection wash option, the garment processing information displayed on the display device 30 is the garment processing information corresponding to the blue oxygen color protection wash mode.

[0073] In this embodiment, when different clothing processing options are selected, the display device 30 displays the corresponding clothing processing information, which helps users to have an intuitive understanding of the clothing processing mode corresponding to the current clothing processing option. For example, at exhibitions or retail stores, the display device 30 can be used to display clothing processing information, which is convenient for showing to others and reduces the workload of sales staff.

[0074] It is understood that the clothing processing display information in this embodiment can be downloaded from the cloud, and if the clothing processing demonstration device includes a memory, the clothing processing display information can also be retrieved from the memory.

[0075] In some embodiments, the display device 30 is used to display at least one of a demonstration video, a demonstration image, and demonstration text. Specifically, in embodiments where the display device 30 is used to display a demonstration video, the demonstration video can show the principles, functions, duration, advantages, etc., of the clothing processing modes corresponding to the clothing processing options, providing a better visual experience and a more intuitive viewing experience.

[0076] In an embodiment where the display device 30 is used to display demonstration images, the demonstration images can be switched and played one by one.

[0077] In an embodiment where the display device 30 is used to display presentation text, parameters, duration, etc., can be displayed.

[0078] In some embodiments, the display device 30 is used to display at least one of the functions, principles, advantages, and operating parameters corresponding to the garment processing options. It is understood that the display device 30 may utilize at least one of demonstration videos, demonstration images, and demonstration text to display at least one of the functions, principles, advantages, and operating parameters corresponding to the garment processing options.

[0079] For example, taking the display advantages as an example, the advantages of blue oxygen color protection wash, wool wash, steam care and 6D airflow drying can be introduced in the corresponding garment processing display information.

[0080] Blue Oxygen Color Protection Wash: Natural blue oxygen factor makes white clothes whiter and colored clothes more vibrant. Prevents color bleeding when washing with other clothes. Deeply cleans and removes stains from fibers. Deeply sterilizes with a sterilization rate of 99.99%. Insulates the inner drum for 7 days for long-lasting cleanliness.

[0081] Wool Wash: Low temperature and low speed, wool will not deform, five water flow, special wool wash, protects delicate wool fibers, penetrates deep into the fibers, removes stains without worry, authoritative wool blue label certification, specializing in wool washing and care problems.

[0082] Steam care: Equipped with a professional full frequency conversion system, it operates quietly at 45 decibels, without disturbing family members. It can quickly dry all the family's clothes in 59 minutes, and stops drying as soon as the clothes are dry. It effectively filters out hair and lint, smooths out clothes, and eliminates wrinkles. It also features UV sterilization and mite removal.

[0083] 6D Airflow Drying: Inspired by rotors, powerful airflow, innovative dual-channel design, all-around airflow, quickly dries surface moisture, 5 times the wind pressure, powerful air delivery, penetrates fibers for thorough drying, dual-channel switching, rhythmic airflow, biomimetic human beating, making down fluffier.

[0084] In some embodiments, the controller is used to control the display device 30 to display screen saver information based on a power-on command, or when the clothing processing demonstration device is connected to an external power source. In this embodiment, the controller can obtain the screen saver display information from the cloud, or, in embodiments with a memory, it can retrieve the screen saver display information from the memory.

[0085] The power-on command refers to powering on the entire garment processing demonstration device (not connecting it to an external power source). For example, the garment processing demonstration device includes a switch mechanism, which can be a button or a knob. The garment processing demonstration device connects to an external power source (such as AC mains power) by plugging it into a socket. Operating the switch mechanism inputs the power-on command. In other words, after operating the switch mechanism, the entire device powers on, and the display device 30 begins displaying information on the screen saver.

[0086] The clothing processing demonstration device being connected to an external power source means that it obtains power from an external power source. In other words, in some embodiments, when the device is plugged into a socket, the display device 30 will automatically display information on the screen saver, regardless of whether the switch structure is operated.

[0087] Understandably, the display device 30 is in a black screen state before the garment processing demonstration device is powered on or connected to an external power source. After receiving the power-on command or after the device is connected to an external power source, the display device 30 displays information on the screen saver, which can also be used to remind the user that the garment processing demonstration device is now connected to an external power source.

[0088] In some embodiments, the garment processing demonstration device also includes a speaker connected to a controller, which controls the speaker to play audio corresponding to the currently selected garment processing option.

[0089] In this embodiment, users can hear corresponding audio while viewing the content displayed on the display device 30, further enhancing the user experience.
